u.k. seems it's on a new road with a new witch hunt against communism apparently underway a british historian has criticized universities in the u.k. for promoting positive thinking about the ideology he claims the pros and cons of the system of being given equal weighting of the claim by the historian came in response to a statement by the head of a monk system society one london university fiona lolly told the b.b.c. programme that communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore it did not fail well we spoke to her selves and she believes academics are talking communism must simply missing the point. i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the death under the savior but i think this is you know very much selective outrage the media in general obviously don't paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a positive light and that's because obviously in you know the media is owned by some group of people in the major is owned by a billionaire class have certain interests they want to p

all up in this thing steve kean professor of economics at kingston university in the u.k. joins us live on the program to offer his take good to see you steve how would you assess donald trump's economic policies there so seems to be a bridging respect from his critics that you know jobs are being created markets are up but he is protectionist to the core disney is he doing as much good for america as he claims. of course not because he always dramatically exaggerates everything that's been his business practice all the way through and he got quite a bit of bad press from that in new york for quite some time before he ran for president but he i am actually in favor of his industrial attitudes because he doesn't see free trade is being a vehicle of growth and frankly when you look at the economic theory behind it it's not just nonsense only economists could believe the nonsense that spouted support for a tried what gives you growth is investment and industrialization and actually to some extent what he's doing help america invest slightly more but of course the rest of what

a british historian has criticized universities in the u.k. for promoting a positive thinking about communism it claims the pros and cons of the system are being scaled the same it's not just historians but the british media also are developing something of a red scare mentality as of late much was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet preaching afraid of carla. communist known for concerns about the poor elsewhere a buzz feed's science editor was forced to lock down her social media account due to abuse after writing that she wants communism for christmas nevertheless the claim by the historian came in response to a statement by the head of a marxist society at one london university. told the b.b.c. programme that communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore didn't fail but we spoke to her ourselves and she believes academics speaking out against communism i'm missing the point i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the

morals dealing with trump's twitter and foreign policy i spoke with scott lucas from university of birmingham in the u.k. . this is someone who should be regarded as issuing a statement of policy having spoken to advisors having to look through documents have a good sort of situation this is a man who watches t.v. in particular the channel fox news and then he immediately reacts in the case of pakistan you might say that there is a background to this that makes sense and that there are tensions between the u.s. and pakistan over how to approach the afghanistan question how to approach insurgency in pakistan that's been going on for years in the case of north korea to mention another tweet to simply just again threaten war just at the drop of a tweet that's irresponsible and then in the case of palestine the subject of discussion right now to you know to to say look this will be positive in any way given the israel palestine issue just to threaten to cut off aid to one side while giving almost unconditional support to the other after the jerusalem recognition thus not a sensible foreign policy is not sen

and what hasn't i'm joined by scott lucas he's a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham in the u.k he joins us now from the u.s. city of atlanta we appreciate your time very much so scott between in the last august forty eight hours perhaps donald trump has tweeted about we said about policy with with israel about north korea as well about palestine about pakistan rather how would you characterize that as a as foreign policy. i would characterize it first and i'll be direct here is a man who is off his head. this is someone who should be regarded as issuing a statement of policy having spoken to advisors having to look through documents have a good sort of situation this is a man who watches t.v. in particular the channel fox news and then he immediately reacts and you've gone through several of the reactions in the case of pakistan you might say that there is a background to this that makes sense and that there are tensions between the u.s. and pakistan over how to approach the afghanistan question how to approach insurgency in pakistan that's been going on for years in the case o

earlier i spoke with he's an associate professor at university center of conflict security and terrorism based here in the u.k. he believes the decision to target the conic intercontinental hotel was a deliberate one. what we're seeing is obviously an attack which is designed to send a message to the international community that's why they've chosen one of the most iconic public buildings in the city the hotel that has been attacked before in two thousand and eleven and this attack has come days after warning pacific warning about attacks against the hotels in the kabul so what we have is a very powerful message being sent out that the government cannot maintain and guarantee security and whoever this group is whether they're. taliban inspired or whether they're die shreyas inspired or just getting that message out so that one of the areas questions that we're looking at is whether these attackers had some inside help it might be easy for one or two to sneak in but it was a large number there appears to be and their weapons are almost certainly. they might have been some form of insider help. turkey says it's

forced a call to who is in the analyst in korean affairs he's from the university of leeds and joins us via skype from x. in the u.k. was a postcard of welcome to the program could you explain this for us at how this reproach moment came to be given that the tea parties are practically at each other's throats just weeks ago sure this very limited reproachful has come about. because the north korean leader. so suddenly changed his mood and it is new year's address so it's better. late two weeks ago until that time he had had absolutely nothing to say i told about the people in china lympics of course it's been known for what six years more that the winter olympics are being held in south korea he missed all the deadlines for formally entering the registering the team or anything like that so the south koreans have been quite worried really it with a at the general atmosphere that i'm sure viewers are well aware of the care in the midst of all this year the tenth months of tension over the peninsula and suddenly yes kimberly one has a trauma offensive to award south korea own they are not towards the u.s. or anybody

universe down to the g7. the biggest breakevens are in a yo u.k. in u.s. bonds.r if the central banks are starting to -- as the market is starting to realize the central banks are taking note, because yesterday, at the goldman sachs conference in frankfurt, everyone was talking about the fed raising four times this year, even though the dot plot only shows a plan for three increases. by the way, dots is a great function to see what the fed is looking for, but it -- is the market starting to expect more from the fed than the fed is showing? john: it is beginning to tip that way. i mean, if you look at market pricing versus the dots, they are probably still below, but the market has always underpriced dots, but it is probably closer to where it has been for some time. i think markets are beginning to build in the risk that the fed do more than they said. last year, for the first time in a number of years, they actually followed through on their promises, so the risk of them doing that is there. it is a cyclical story, and it is more about growth, it is more ab

university in istanbul thank you that's. president trump is in the swiss resorts of doubles for the world konami forum he's already spoken to the u.k. prime minister trees and may as well as his israeli counterpart binyamin netanyahu at the moment he's attending a meeting reception being held in his honor at the summit for us in switzerland jachin book. after their meeting both donald trump entry some may talked about how wonderful their conversation was how much they appreciated meeting one another and what a wonderful relationship the two countries have with one another donald trump went on to say that he really respects theresa may and that contrary to what some may believe they do have a wonderful relationship they probably. had a very great relationship tables. don't necessarily believe that but i can tell you i wish that if you were. like you. love you for that idea that the two countries still have a special relationship comes just weeks after donald trump canceled his visit to the u.k. open the new u.s. embassy there the president said that he canceled the visit simply because he thought that the deal that was brokered to s

u.k. is richard johnson he's a lecturer in u.s. politics and international relations at lancaster university richard i have one part of me heights the fact that we have these discussions that we're talking about tweets and talking about donald trump's tweets all the time how with us if you look at just the last twenty four forty eight hours over the last two years if you want to put it that way what we are seeing the way it's being played out is like nothing we've ever seen before. well that's right and i think when we read trump's tweets we have to remember one of his key audiences is he's speaking to his supporters in the language of his supporters and we can't lose sight of that and so i think sometimes useful actually to try and consume some of the more sympathetic trump press and see how these tweets are being interpreted in those outlets and one of the things that they have been saying is that this is a sign that trump is you know is a breath of fresh air he is a transaction or person he's a businessman and money talks and so when we think of it in that sort of framing what trump is doing makes a little more sense from the sor
