the local government association represents councils in england.ke it as simple and as efficient as possible for parents. however, there are criteria that have to be assessed, and that may be where there's some parents who're finding they're having stumbling blocks. when tom browne moved to kent with his wife and three children, he thought he had the wherewithal to navigate the system. i mean, being a lawyer, you know, i'm very good at keeping evidence, i'm good at pushing and pressing, because i'm trying to get some help for my kids. before the move, his two sons, both of them autistic and with anxiety, had needs assessments, and both had been given plans outlining the support they should have. the educational health care plan, it was literally issued just before we moved, and we were advised that they would be transported across to kent. so, we thought — great. when they got to kent, the family felt the care outlined in the plans wasn't provided, so tom put in a formal complaint. at a mediation meeting with the council, he says he was made an off

something the city council does not do. since the appeared the government is conspicuous in its absence we always have to reinvent ourselves and break new ground. as other football fans in sao paolo hear under a highway bridge at 10 pm go where hardly any others would set foot. cars drive across the bridge above all down below families in need of build a place to live they too are among the pandemics for. this family brought a kitchen cupboard a bad and a stove from their rented apartment just a few weeks ago now they can only hope for better times and that was important help or not stop. during the crisis i could no longer pay my rent my wife and i became unemployed we have $3.00 children only option was to come here i built the shelter myself. with poverty comes fear of the virus and of being left behind during the pandemic. there. the. i'm joined now by mary field she's director of the institute for latin american studies and humber where she's joining us from money because good to have you on the show lack of government

well of course the central council of jews was founded after the war but it was founded straight after the war one must add and it so itself as the body that would help overcome the nazi past and help the new germany find laws to combat its nazi pos and to make sure that these terrible terrible crimes would never happen again so that was the initial job that the council of jews gave itself over the years of course that tasks have widened and they the main combat of against anti semitism that is their main role now and after the breakup of the soviet union in the 1990 s. many people came to germany refugees and also just migrants who were looking for a new and different life here in germany and many of them were jews so the council of jews also helped integrate them into society but their main toss now is of course trying to diminish prejudices on both sides and trying to help germans and jews live side by side tazer voters will certainly be picking up on much of that you know what what can we expect today. the ceremony has just started and it is quite impressive just how well it is pro

i think she reiterated many of the points that the president of the central council of jews here in germany yours or schuster also made in his speech that we heard earlier she said that it was vital that the current rise in anti semitic attacks is something that we need to be very aware of and that we have to put a lot of energy into into combat in this rise of anti semitism and what i found interesting was that of course she's very aware and she said it in her speech that anti semitic language more and more often leads to anti semitic deeds and this is actually something that police statistics confirm that people feel triggered by silence or by the silence of the majority or by statements coming from sort of the middle ground of society so this is something that anglo-american said we need to be very alert and we have to remember that angle america has been criticized several times for opening. the doors to germany for migrants and thus creating more tensions here in germany and thus also helping in a way to give rise to the far right party who are amongst their younger party groups are am

we have provided to the security council. since march 26th and on the losses we have suffered and we have called for an amendment of the sanctions regime but unfortunately there has not been a response for our legitimate request to date mr president my dedication supports the reforms led by the united nations security council secretary-general and despite the progress achieved of the most important organ in the security council remains without reforms it's become important to reform the council that no longer reflects the 21st century. the deucedly political reality is conducive to a reform of the council and a more equitable representation and accordingly we emphasize our support for lifting and correcting the historical injustice inflicted on africa through. the seats required as per the is what we need a consensus and they sort of declaration. which include 2 permanent seats with all rights and 2 additional non permanent seats. in addition this request represents the minimum. for 'd the correction of the injustice inflicte

traditional friends they never imagined to be defeated at the same council we saw 13 out of the council 15 member states seductive the u.s. they supported the j.c. and rejected the united states today we can say the u.s. policy of maximum political legal pressure against their indian nation turned into maximum isolation for the united states and the u.s. backed out of the iran nuclear deal 2 years ago because of the as britain france and germany say the u.s. has no right to reimpose sanctions the u.s. secretary of state is not backing down though michael threatening what he describes as consequences the u.n. member states failing to comply with u.s. sanctions on iran as a bank has moved from tehran. president hassan rouhani made this televised address cabinet meeting the weekly cabinet meeting now we were expecting this we were told 20 minutes before he went to air and very much is taking advantage of this split the united nations security council he china and russia who have been friends of iran and if that vote had happened at the united nations russia and china would have vetoed it t

and the government has filed criminal charges against the coordination council as a group.not surprising, it's completely outrageous, and the authorities have to immediately free these members of the coordination council. rachel, are you concerned for her safety and for the personal safety of the others detained? we are — human rights watch is absolutely alarmed and deeply concerned about the safety of maria kolesnikova and the others. i — we can only assume the authorities are either threatening to use — either threatening them or perhaps using some of the methods that they have used against the many hundreds of protesters, you know, beatings and the like. so, we're very concerned about personal safety. the determination of the people staying on the streets is surely impressive. what do you make, though, of the international reaction? well, the international reaction so far has been full of condemnation for lukashenko and for the crackdown. i think that there needs to be more. i think — look, the international community now has two opportunities to launch long—term scrutin

security council resolution 2231. any one of the nations identified there had the right to say we want the sanctions that were in place prior to this that moment to snap back and that's what will do the rest of the world have ignored the u.s. declaration and in some ways more important than snap back is what happens on november the 3rd but one of the diplomats who negotiated the iran deal told me even if joe biden is elected president on that day getting back into the deal might not be that easy i mean i think it is easy as some people have made it out to be. president i'm certain i want that yeah and then everything distributed we go back to school and see i think actually your army wants you or that 8 men out in station or the sanctions or other countries receive the united states i mean out of. your ass so i think it is going to be much more complicated than just the station yet diplomats say behind the scenes a great deal of pressure was put on the other members of the security council to support the u.s. position

security council because the system of the u.n. still has the security council as the top body as it were certainly with regard to international peace and security that the part of the u.n. that has real teeth that can essentially call a call for sanctions can it if it wants indorse military action and the 5 countries that are there with a veto on anything the security council does with that very important veto power and that sits on the council permanently the others rotate the 5 countries that are considered to be the victors of world war 2 and so 75 years old we have a system that seemed right at the end of a world war and certainly fitting for 945 when the u.n. had 51 members but now we've moved on 75 years the u.n. has a 193 members and most of those members think it's time for a form the problem with any reform is that you need to get those 5 members to sign on to it number one and number 2 although so many people agree on reform they don't actually agree on what the reform should be and there are so many other contenders who

council 15 member states stood up to the u.s. they supported the j.c. and rejected the united states today we can say the u.s. policy of maximum political legal pressure against the iranian nation turned into maximum isolation for the united states. but the u.s. is not backing down secretary of state like pompei or threatened consequences if the u.n. member states fail to comply with it sanctions washington insists that it has the power to re-impose the measures despite pulling out of the iran nuclear deal too is ago let's take you straight to han said big is the tell us more about what president honea rouhani has been saying. well this was a televised address is joining a cabinet meeting now we didn't expect this we were told about 20 minutes before he went to air and very much president hassan rouhani is capitalizing on this division the united nations security council and it's seen as a victory for iran a diplomatic victory in iran will be playing this up he did say that states maximum pressure campaign has turned into maximum
