allegedly killing their ever audit in london protests and commemorations who violently put down by dick's offices joining me now via skype is one of the 21st century's most well known activists rose mcgowan rose thanks so much for coming back on i should say the police do say that the crackdown was because of coronavirus but you mean campaigning against male violence against women for forever what have you made made of the scenes going from london to police breaking up the demonstrations. the way it crested and her police force handled violence against women and violence against our ever art is violence against humans because i'm assuming you're probably man enough for a test as well i would hope so it is it's unconscionable it's unconscionable it's wrong and what boris johnson is trying to pass under the guise of coronavirus is it serviced a only absurd and we all can see what it is to exist out keeping it when it indicators

down so we know that crimes against women in general aren't taken seriously and instead of cleaning up her own house crescents yaks response is to connect more violence against well in fairness to the british government which denies its police bill is anything to do it that she she said that well the government says there's going to be an inquiry and she said it's easy for people in their armchairs to watch the pictures being beamed around the world and not realize and understand what was really going on there. well i personally have bank involved in trying chess where the police have cracked down heavily and i understand what's going on there and sometimes the camera does show exactly what's going on in this case i'm not sure whether you may have seen some of our newspapers in the media here and the protests have occurred around the world partly because of the the killing what have you made of it i mean there there were some comments that people were talking about

sensible shoes and so on in relation to this tragic killing in south london do you think the victim survivors shaming has gone away. or shaming is absolutely not i mean i'm sure he's the term they come of they cannot get every day 1st there's always some reason to shane slash survivor there is always that is that or just looking at him where you are out there watching me take part in this because sheeny yourself and what kind of attitudes you carry the reality is i should be able to walk down the street naked i could get arrested for that certainly but nobody's allowed to break ok if you just simply walking home at night it's very different you know from and they can leave yes our home and work you know jokes on the side or they're just listening you know i see a man walking with headphones at night that is something women here of course some people to be in pointing out the fact that the president of the head of the

metropolitan police who some accuse of being involved in the killing of a man of color the brazilian. engineer or john child a man as is the fact is he is an elder woman so. somehow this should make a difference she alluded to it has self saying i am a woman he say and so therefore. presumably we should think of her handling as being better on the show. i actually disagree. national and i've noticed others have and you know either way and their direct answer of any gender has an asterisk by waiting regardless of their leanings and their sexual orientation should have nobody asked what i notice in women in power and specifically you know an hour or less this in women of a certain age a certain power position they play by the rule books of the men and they juggle down on it and 8 they really don't want to be seen if they soften anything or be.

anybody excuse that of being less hard and less hard and try more or less far or less plain might have rules he knows will rule and always change a government agency seem to have or hollywood or anybody when i got out when empowered and i had to find them were dangerous but then so what are we supposed to do because people have been saying the news rooms of newspapers need to be better represented by women people of color people who held to be the king and. outlooks i mean was always supposed to do it even representation increasing representation in the establishment in the movie or in bala thinks they just get co-opted waterways because it is. well there are ways to find people that are real there are right you know i believe the attorney general in new york state new york city israel you know she's she's somebody who israel there are women in power that are real that

are not playing by the system i think is who are it's not just representation of who is represent and here choosing people for optics but in media and in trying to or and governmental job and it is just for the optics that you want status quo it's more about wanting a a total change and wanting not satisfied with that usually puts people at higher positions of power in danger could be the start of your political career who knows but more seriously you mention new york what did you make of joe biden saying that the new york governor andrew cuomo should not resign pending the investigations into his accusations about sexual harassment well i believe joe biden is in a tricky spot is name if he calls for governor andrew cuomo that to resign then

how does that reflect on him with the cherry allegations you know he can't and solicit he's also to wipe a great can't you know they're really low anything except for when it's personally if they call on andrew probably resigned and joe myers next he will have that you might have to remind us about our reads allegations i guess why do you think most media even fox news i think lately they're just not interested in the allegations against joe biden. well the allegations that terry has alleged are serious is very serious you know there are levels of tribulation and it's fine it's very high up there is joe biden when she was working for a man as a senate staffer the 1st same way allegedly when she's interviewing for her job was walk by her in the hallway look at her legs say oh nice legs higher and that's because do you replay every single thing that happened that led up to the moment

where joe biden you know assaulted her eyelashes and. cares if it's fox news who cares you know the new york times is the fox news of the liberals they had any of who was at the time his spokesperson buying stocks person jury selection and who was also the head of time. at the organization i suppose the late champions and you know when it ends and finds their lawsuits which has turned out pretty much a fake which i said 3 years ago. they don't want this they don't want investigations because then they would have to look at their own house and see where their people play a part needed on how to write a hit piece on terrorism me to my knowledge has our teams have had people that you're going up against help if you're going soft on the people i am against you helped write the story and i had to pay on time to be no different than an officer for their better theater reviews well we certainly don't do anything like that are

going underground but what he said about the new york times of course they did report on biden's that syria has strikes but presumably women. people children people of color all could have been targeted by this as strikes why do you think it's just disappeared that joe biden. ariely bombarded another country within days of taking office. what i think the news is disappearing there is very little news and the problem really stems one huge problem by end bombing syria on back with our allies kind of like rhetoric. and it is it's disgusting as the news media in america has consistently not ever anything bad or one or biden or any of these people have done it's not politically convenient you know when you go back to they actually had seen changes that was obama and biden just like and if he had an agreement to not. you know the liberal is maybe i should say the mainstream

media to try any coverage on this truck comes in on us and it's a big story syria bombing is disgusting and all the things they allege against trump you know he each ocilla model unilaterally approval well they do the same it's up there with more people now the thing is the media having lived in the united states in the past for a very long time outsiders and not realize is that you know there's not even whether covered in any other country and and there's there's no news in the u.s. that involves outside. anything from the u.s. the u.s. . is there insular and that's why i consistently allege that the united states is a cult just nation here and it does that to media programming and sacrum preprogramming in lockstep to get yeah and the media certainly are very interested in the oprah winfrey interview with my getting marco why do you think they seem to

have forgotten the prince andrew interview. well it's extremely convenient for both that right as sporting public and. the monarchy forget prince and the fact they're doing investigation into marriage made in mark foley and not trace anders alleges at feeley and part and he trafficking re says exactly everything they are with the queen's son prince under or his he denies it the f.b.i. are looking to question him i mean obviously this protest legislation may be going through here in britain scott morrison in australia where there have been some activists out protesting about misogyny said you know women are lucky to be able to protest at all what have you made of what's going on there in the britain's former colony of australia. morrison is 88

actually make. i mean he's everything right there that is the problem we're so lucky seki for giving us a seat at the table to rant say take your own damn seat don't wait for these people or never give you a proper seat at the table build your own table build your own no warships build your own corporations hire women as how you want to do it and you know practice your on affirmative action and get out there in protest get out there make them uncomfortable every day so much of the public has been waiting for these dinosaurs that die off but the reality is like replica no i don't like my job is fighting the older people in your sandwich so the other people can stay free and help play when they can and if our they will not behave like status quo. because. we're tired. and more bold and we're a zen mad as hell not going to take it anymore our strategy is not just protests and massage and it's in a labor party it is

a secret facebook group that was uncovered with all of these horrific allegations and i said is that democrats in the us and say let the labor party in australia. it doesn't give you you're not morally superior because you vote more for you know help for the common people allegedly with with essentially young in your past because you're more environmentally aware allegedly it doesn't give you a few women and they do it get out there into the matter if they help if you are an ally of stand up you're an ally arise because sexual harassment massage he does not just when it's all us reza got thank you after the break going on the ground celebrate st patrick's day with north korean bays a junior in the former lord mayor of belfast the new guy who currently serves as m.p. for belfast north. join

me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. one of the worst ever mass shootings in america wasn't less vigorous in 2017 the tragedy exposed a little of the real last big many say elected officials are controlled by could see you know these dangers shooting reveal where the l.g.m. p.d. really is and now it's part of the standard sheen has to the american public barely remembers that it happened that just shows you the power of money in las vegas the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades and then you have

a mayor who doesn't care so here's care i goodman offering the lives of the vegas residents to the control group to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people could have been saved if they were taken action absolutely keep the roads shrinking machines doing base is a money machine it's a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. welcome back and this year st patrick's day like last year's won't be the same and not just because of the global coronavirus pandemic the e.u. says that boris johnson government is breaking international law river island joining me now from the british parliament is the u.p.a. m.p. even more than jim in paisley junior in thanks so much for coming back on i don't know what has happened since we talked in person on the green for going underground i mean separated now by a defacto border from england and wales joe biden famous are reportedly visiting

the old ira rebel songs. is the d.p. in big trouble now. i don't think room they call it all and try wish you a happy yes and patrick's day also with regards to what's happened post rex and obviously the rest the united kingdom got back so we got rex a plus a protocol which you which takes away from the opportunity acts of course and forces upon northern ireland. peace of activity that means that we have to protect the european market single market might that's not what north man's role should be and sort really house to go it's been proved in the last 70 days of those not work and data doesn't work whether you 11 dublin than the republicans are in the you live in northern ireland the fact of the matter is the protocol has been on met to get a disaster for businesses for people for shops and people who hold on to a protocol it's damaging businesses and their own constituency are total and

absolute truths on the set aside the politics and that's. unmoved forward of course the united kingdom quite rightly has to say it's unilaterally moves on some of those damaging auspex off the protocol and has decided to suspend them by way after and extending greece periods that's kicking the can down the road it helps for a short period of time but we want to see a permanent solution go out in the best way is give us the scene bracks of as the rest of the united kingdom you say it helps the e.u. says it's a violation of international law they're suing for the 2nd time so what sanctions by the you on on britain now ahead of us like sanctions against russia and venezuela. the european court doesn't apply to the people of the united kingdom it's a wee bit of a nonsense northern ireland is not. because of the protocol carrier it's 20 percent of all border checks across the entirety of the european community hush jupiters.

whenever most of our treaties with g. 8. how i like you did this though you your party was the coalition partner your car coalition with the tories allowed this to happen and boris johnson signed it. i brought that story started we wouldn't support a withdrawal agreement we would support the recall and result of the 2 you general elections if you recall so i never voted for the protocol and they'd all of the parties in northern ireland tell us that the protocol is the worst option there is the government foolishly agreed unilaterally with the e.u. a protocol i'm not protocol has been proved the last 70 days to be a disaster does not work you know luckily the united kingdom was the preacher and of course you know actually at the end of january the republic of ireland of the e.u. preach that because they wanted the stable are astronomical facts it's annoying because

they won't be able to do that they're nice a master plan to get those work you shouldn't take the you has temporarily suspended some countries in the even they say it's just a scientific thing it's nothing to do with politics whatsoever but away from the seriousness of the threats to livelihoods the threats to lives what does the d. of p. mean by accusing the e.u. of holo claims to protect peace in ulster i mean you're saying brussels actually wants a resumption of the bombing of downing street. you know it's hollow play as may remember this was the european union just said that they were doing the protocol to protect the peace process when it's turned out that since the protocol over over 70 days of economic chaos we have loyalists paramilitaries who have indicated that they have withdrawn their support from an agreement that they previously supported along with tony blair about the pre-nup i face so the protocol has created all of these things that's what they're saying now

the government and the media can stick their head in the sounds pretend this doesn't exist that this is someone else's problem but no this is a problem of the united kingdom i'm stoked to result in the best way to resolve it is to remove the protocol that's the obstacle and let us have ordinary relationships with the rest the united kingdom given that we're going to go part of the united kingdom and let's have a sensible cooperation with the republic of ireland and the e.u. we do not need a protocol i'm pleased. yeah but i mean your colleagues i mean wilson was on this show talking about. problems at the customs unit. in northern ireland it's all a bluff isn't it hasn't been any violence as regards the protocol it's all bluff by the d.p. and do you know think there's growing recognition right from. it's vital if their housekeeping balance my welcome up new people aren't trying to fund those flames all i can say to you is that there's been a very mischievous and sinister proceeding county and it's been targeted at

individuals there's been a person who worked in the customs office at that they forcibly moved from their home to be protected and i want to make sure that we dialed up daryn that it was a way in the best way flock to go it's pretty strong to recognize that this protocol doesn't work but there already is a law and order and aren't ready as a customs border an arm and we don't need a 2nd bomb of any of these things and we don't actually need to install some sort in the british side wouldn't even stall any up or up us or any mechanism it's entirely up to the european union to decide what it was pretty scoots a comment it's its territory so you're right well no doubt johnson is going to try and fight it or has to kick the can down the road as you describe it just finally isn't it clear since your dad died that the deal you pay has basically hastened a united ireland supported directive which has created this artificial border because of the protocol we got a census predicting

a catholic majority anyway the demographic time bomb there was always that as a d.p.s. support for brics it and all the work of your party only. favored a united ireland. no i think the facts are actually the other way i mean shin fee i'm not a minister british rule and our home should she couldn't see this legislation every day after week which starts with the 10 words be at an act and by her gracious majesty queen elizabeth the seconds they are chary are republicans carry out the work of royal loyalists and ulster because they administer a british assembly there the ira which was trying to kill and bomb us and say united are on the night of a field of public google way they don't have as much as a water pistol up there kmov we i think it's stupid it's quite frankly it's indicate that we're heading towards united on of them frankly the fossil giardia people in northern ireland is catholic and protestant but all of the surveys taken

are very content with her status and of course the republicans aren't has a lower standard of living and a higher cost of love in the northern ireland no one's going to vote to go into a country that chant afford to keep northern ireland we're part of the 5th largest economy in the world and in the vaccines based alone northern ireland has got almost a 3rd of its entire population boxed in that the republicans aren't has less than 10 percent fox no no better team preparation and pays a junior thank you well off to full page adverts very united island in the new york times in the washington post paid by friends of shin fein that's not here from gent vein m.p. from belfast old john fund who can john thanks so much for coming back on we just spoke to him paisley jr i'm not sure whether it helps him feign that vaccination is so much higher in the north but he said not only that but you're basically a carrying out the queen's bidding cian fane is no longer

a movement for anything irish it's basically british. well good afternoon and it's good to talk to again i'm not happy to have patrick's day i should say. happy some projects they do all of your listeners as well all around the works so. it's one of many many those are strange calm comments by m.p.'s lee and his colleagues i'm not quite sure and maybe he's enjoying some politics day a little early i don't know but it's history and comment we are a very strong pride and r.t. should probably can party and i think our backward more than speaks for itself boris johnson didn't even take time out to schedule a meeting with mary lou mcdonald leader when he came to us the last week. yeah he can make it can last friday which i think was very much a fairly superficial p.r. exercise we had a long standing request to have

a meeting where from bill to mary lou mcdonald and michelle natick there are many issues that we need to discuss with them and not least his government's failure to implement previous political agreements are going to new decade new approach which was what led to the restoration of the storm and the institutions we need to talk to him about the r.h. protocol we also want to talk to him about fairly discrete as full one percent pay raise for nurses to be were all encouraged to clap for over the past year armande it was the biggest party on this island would expect us to be repulsed engagement with the likes of paris johnson and that's what we want but you know if there had been a united ireland you might not be getting yesterday i think a vaccine that don't change things with you a little and expect a year really to back the island over a nato superpower like britain just announcing nuclear warheads over this protocol . yeah well i think there's a lot in. partially i think the way in which the island through the 2 jurisdictions has dealt with cold it over the past 12 months many people have certainly but gone

and the times the conversation around why we don't have a joined up all ireland health service and certainly will jurisdiction shouldn't be in competition with handler and i think that the sites have had difficulties in the way in which they cope with we've had difficulties the way in which we moneys that ourselves and the north here and but it certainly shouldn't be petted that it's one side against the other we have the natural geographically of john thinks of being an island and i think we needed to utilize that a lot more than we did to try and rid ourselves from coba to aids i'd have locked our into a lot sooner than we were able to. well those questions of course being asked by british politicians here in england at the same time in the south your on your part he's not really wishing. that happy patrick's day why going for his resignation he has accepted. a document it's nice subject to

a criminal investigation so i don't wish to prejudice the investigation that the guardi will be conducting what the nature of this is the fact that it's not surprising that in fact there's very few people have the so if you're shocked by this summary comment i could offend but it's not me it's your politics which i think we are very much standing against that's why we saw our success in the general election last year whereby people realise that you know the traditional politics of fear in a foreign finnicky they're really hard to distinguish between themselves and the states and i think that not level of general corruption that people see in our a society there is an option to be away from and i think that the certainly whites the criminal investigation is ongoing and i don't see how it is possible that he doesn't stop say peddie not investigation but ultimately it will be a model for the 20. of if he denies all wrongdoing and quite a lot of corruption in stormont historically i reckon let's get let's get to this

announcement by the council of europe they're opening up an investigation and last time you were in london you were talking to me about the shooting death of your father in front of you and the wounding of your mother what should we make of the council of your right reopening the case of british soldiers killing your father yeah i'm not significance the fact that they are reopening this it is exceptionally rare that the council of europe would take the steps it is a super salt. i think pressure that has been put on not least by the irish government we are very grateful for that but it's also a record. on the way in which the british government have been very cynical in the way they've dealt with my family we had a supreme court victory and february 2018 and it told us on the british government finally after 30 well new years and drastically at my father's murder and a way that is and appears to be international human rights standards they haven't

done so not mouse november they attempted to transform will solve all the international community all make it in the spike to the police and the police almost been crushed i think that seems to have been a tipping point for the consul of europe the decision that they have taken will bring a level of scrutiny under kind ability which is very much welcome well i'm sure everyone hopes you get justice john finnegan thank you thank you very much that's over the show and back on saturday to speak to the cattle and president in exile called wisdom or as it strips of energy from prosecution and spanish government until then don't forget to subscribe to. banks figure out new ways to rip people off they get caught and what they do is

they change the law introduce new laws and if there is any problems they extend and pretend they just make the church longer and the coupons lower but now it looks like that big american game of fraud which is the american business model is coming to an end. americans love buying homes. and this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood the bargain you get a home and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history l.a. housings men in the united states not just that old question of the american dream that the bigger question if you dream is for.

russia recalls its ambassador to the u.s. after president biden said vladimir putin would pay the price for election meddling while at the same time branding the russian head of state a killer. european union considers a controversial digital covert past to open up travel between member states. and hospitals warn that they may have to take their scalpels to their own services unless they get billions of pounds and support. those are world news headlines for this hour i'll be back in just about an hour with more so stay tuned.
