so unesco is not very good on this.y key point on all this is, and it keeps getting missed, this is not a discussion of, do you like this building or that building, or the other building? the advisors to unesco said liverpool had already damaged irretrievably the outstanding universal value of the site. that is simply not true. 10 years ago, the city was going to build, lots of high-rise blocks, not one has been built actually in the site, there's a low-rise building built, and if you saw the movie that your colleague made yesterday, i appeared in, the site is derelict has been derailed for 50 years. so unesco could say we're worried that you might damage the site, but they can't say you already have. so as a matter of fact, they are wrong. on the other issue, which is the evident football stadium, they've said if you fill in the dock, you've lost the outstanding universal value. well, i can tell you, your movie showed the pier head and the three graces, they all stand on an infill dock. liverpool historically has alway

but unfortunately, us and unesco have turned a deaf ear to this. the stadium hasn't even started work on site yet. it's to to, is to take jump the gun. they haven't really lesson. and they looked at the mountain and documents that have it and provide it not short of money. they've been prepared to provide some money. not just for the new stake in the 53000 fans in the 1st phase, but also for a massive conservation work which was done otherwise. it's all part of a, it's all part of the same story. you develop your conserves and in the city which has to go on living, you have to combine the toe. there's no other way and you asked of the beginning whether the scope for appeal. there's no scope for level to appeal because unesco of facing in the completely wrong direction. they're not, not listen to us. they say last visit the safety in 2000. that 9 was they already decided then the test was the sort of world heritage site that they really wanted. so i never post day is when none but at the beginning. but if you, if you come to liverpool now, and you c

does unesco play a role in this? or is it more the country where the, where the site is, or is it a combination of both? ultimately it's the country. i mean it's the state that age because remember, yes, it is a club member space. so each stage is responsible for 5. now you nefco might have funded made or expertise or resources that can sometimes push to what some of the sites and some of the members say to help and maintain. but by and large, it's the responsibility of the members state itself to ensure that it sites are kept in good order preserved in the appropriate manner and to the standards require, especially if they are under the school heritage sort of designation. and that's how it's always been the in terms of the cost. yes. obviously it can be, especially the government support, you know, areas, urban centers and bigger ones and may have been times as likely, like like manchester and anywhere else in the world in rome, italy, rome, parents, these are very complex and difficult places to maintain a new car

but because it's in london, unesco technically different line. they said 50 years ago and i've done nothing about it. so that's wrong, very clear difference in the united kingdom. the 2nd thing is, you know, most of us goes sites are, are the monuments so natural science, they know very good in with cities and cities. ready and on the checks is not, is it develops and changes it has to, it grows and its heritage changes. and so you're not always have difficulty deciding what is right and what is wrong. it's tra travison in 2007 because it had to put a new bridge. so unesco is not very good on this. but the really key points on all this. some keeps getting messed. this is not a question. do you like this building or that building or the other building? it's mostly advises to ask, said liverpool had all ready damaged, irretrievably out standing universal value off the site. that is simply not true. can years ago the city was gonna build. shall see. lots of ice blocks. no one has been built actually in the site, does a launch building. and if you sa
