Yeah well we should point out that this is the latest in the string of sanctions that the United States has put in place ever since its withdrew from the j. C. T. A way that the agreement to live in Irans Nuclear program back in may of 2018 snacked that sanctions went into place then we had 2 more rounds of sanctions after that now yet another round put in place by the trumpet ministration through executive order as you point out it targets not only the steel as well as Iron Industries that Construction Trade and even some senior officials in the iranian government now the purpose of all of this the Administration Says is part of its broader maximum Pressure Campaign to isolate the iranian people from the Global Financial system but also as well to cripple its economy of the reason for this the United States says is in retaliation for those strikes by iran on those military bases in iraq that were housing u.

Or are. Point move. 2 past. The wind if you can thank yeah but we havent put it on the audience of the day ends or. Im organizing a big event said the biggest theater in this type of europe and we are marking the 4th anniversary of Julian Assange as political as i dont and i for the most happening at the same day today in their lane brussels belgrade but i wish paris. Naples madrid. Well i desire all the all the all the venues all our people i think this case is not just about Julian Assange its about transparency its about democracy in europe. You know verse about speaking on how does it. This is normal. But dont last for just sit in the room and write for some of them tell me what you do sometimes or i books but also but also that this will go to refugee that you think you are a new kind of from us. I dont have time to think about myself. And was this 1st the world believe me or speak around the world focus people. From this side begin to. Thank. So as you know we are going to listen and to have a conversation with you major intellectual. Way here. So please welcome them both on state. Very hard to. What they learnt from Julian Assange is that you have to be consistent maybe sometimes you have these temptation to feeling that you are not important that the powers are smiling at the last and last thing when we occupy our spare that they are laughing when we are in a public space but below we have. 1000 people here tonight in 8 cities at the same time hundreds of thousands watching the live stream and i think the more they kind of just sit in their own and write books even if you want to write about the refugee crisis you cannot do it if you didnt speak to a refugee for instance or if you are writing about the crisis of europe or solutions for europe i think you cannot do it if you dont speak with the people and i think we dont have time only to see the norm and write about it we need to work because this continent is collapsing. The financial crash of 2008 started in americas Housing Market but devastated europe as it lurched from sovereign debt crisis to cannot make stagnation unemployment of 25 percent in some countries led to social unrest and the continent suffered the wars terrorist that takes years. And that was before over 1000000 refugees decided to walk to balcombe route into europe. Often all this is discussed as forces of nature beyond our control. But theres a philosopher i look for the old cause what if they can only call ups refugees and terrorism are actually all caused by something more fundamental. 2 im going on a journey across europe in search of what for next the crazies tearing our continent apart. To saloniki norton greece if you just visited Central Square youd never guess this small charming city is at the epicenter of europes problems. In 2015 refugees fleeing war and poverty walked into europe to the nearby village of evil mean. Germany said they would accept syrians but after more than a 1000000 people came europe panicked and sealed the border trip and also continued to come in for. Greece finally cleared the domine camp in may 2015 citing sanitation and safety. But thats not the whole story. Were heading towards a new refugee camp for the refugees from the domain name or more and were going to meet most of their. Most to face from aleppo and reached the domain or just as the border was closed he spent 3 months there hoping and trying to cross before deltora this clear to camp and would you say are different dishes better here than in the domine like what were told what was better there and what is better here. Yeah actually. Here is very plausible. Its what tech tool from the song from from. For the 10th years a big. Nobody knows how long were going to stay and we get information on how long. A long it takes for the. They said nobody else. To face taking us back to domine to explain why the camp was clear. And this is something i wasnt expecting. A Motorway Service station transformed by those refusing the government camps. The services allow them to stay at that the same time doing Good Business charging them for showers. Now is 100 persons change the players are to still be full of fans and no no one now only me. Can you show us a bit how it looked like at the tracks. So refugees tense all this place here right this one venue ice like full of dance. These tracks are the most important rule from greasy ports a crucial way for local companies and multinationals to get their goods into the heart of fuel. There is a train coming. So when the tents were here at this place there were no trains coming but because. There is not. To try many times to bring the train as. Do the refugees represented the problem. Of and. There is a ministry. And you see there. The tribes with. Your your of. Our children we. Are blocking the trains deliberately you knew that if you were blocking the way. Europe and the greeks they will start to react. The greek Train Company ois he told us they couldnt move goods for 75. 00 days costing them 1000000. 00 he lost shipping. I think you domine is the best metaphor for whats happening in europe today in the sense that people are refugees who are fleeing from war and from war zones such as syria but also going to stand in iraq became a problem why because were at the train track and they were blocking the train trip. So it became a problem for for the for peroration for also other countries not only greece because this way was blocked so on the one can what you can see is. Refugees dont have the right to move freely on the other goods can move freely as far and as much as they want. But greece is subject to forces beyond its control. To Global Financial crash reveals that greece has taken out a mountain of loans from european banks. At the urging of european leaders europes Financial Institutions gave greece the biggest loan in history. And most of that money flowed straight back to the mainly french and german banks who kept encourage them to borrow. But the loan conditions required extreme osteria to state spending cuts so severe that the economy shrank by a quarter of unemployment reached 27 percent prompting a huge rises was. Another condition was must privatisation of greek as including the strategically important port of p. J. It is one of the most important ports in the mediterranean and recently the greek government has sold 67 percent of the shares to a Chinese Company called possible. The docks are quiet today the sell off has prompted a bed to leave the unions they say the troika of the International Monetary fund the European Central bank and the European Commission are experimenting with a new kind of privatization. You would strike only for a moment at the time the day is today and if they strike. Very going no where going to trade unionists and me thinking since its an international you know trying to use me think they very much interested thing in the paper they say sure that this news thing there and they still or its going to sky here and use that since theyre private i say even the Port Authority or at least city its faced features on the part of you know important story this is that the envelope or getting there or appears for the 3rd to headquarters and it will be privatized the day after and this meeting weve been given to the costco. Because costco doesnt recognize unions the doctors feared they will go from being skilled employees with secure jobs to temporary workers with no rights. Can you explain of what is the difference between the working conditions if the part of paedos which is still old by the greek state and the parts which is already old they are using a complex system of self and thought so there is no direct employment by costco. And precarious employment that means they work. 1215. 00 days a month so there is no stable job for them and there is no. Skin show for a trained professional trained show thats why there are frequent. Action and saying that mr we know this may be also this more that we subcontracting expanded to other ports in europe the last 6 years. An experiment for a droid kind nor a liberal policies. What they are thinking here they try to export it in other countries in the European Union. What we have seen in court today was that the biggest historical achievements of the european project. Such as collective bargaining such as trade Union Organizing minimal wages all of this is actually disintegrating. Many blame the Chinese Company cost but im meeting former greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis who has astonishing inside information about europes part in the deal. Seems this is not working. Yeah. Amongst the 1st things they did in the ministry they one day to was to embark upon a. Kind of silent negotiation with the chinese authorities and with the costco c. E. O. And we agreed to collective bargaining and were allowing trade unions to present workers for other board if they were given the rest of the court secondly they agreed on a spectacular Investment Program of anything between 25300000000. 00 euros within 18 months that would have been a fantastic injection of capital of activity of jobs in the part of the us and finally most importantly they would prepared the Chinese Government to contribute to contribute to purchase a bond a new bond that we would issue as a minister of finance up to 10000000000 so frankly that would help us return to the markets and create effective a signal to the rest of the world that this is back now i thought there was a very good deal and guess what happened there was a telephone call from berlin to beijing saying keep of greece while you were negotiating with them and all deals were off because of course china is not going to jeopardize its relationship with the heart of europe. In order to seal a deal with us. Currently the greek government is selling 67 percent of the part of the nose and under your deal it was supposed to be 51. 00 right yes all those things that we had negotiated the dragon made sure that were not part of the deal just not want any european body from a country to be even be to begin to imagine that if they voted People Like Us in they would get a better deal even for one person. Although hugely important for greece pierrots is only a tiny part of the 35 year program of privatization across europe. Sectors like railways energy cost banking and airlines were all part of the 1. 00 trillion dollars of public assets prioritizes 1008. 00. Because the United Kingdom under Margaret Thatcher that led the charge for privatisation in europe. David hall has been studying the impact of it for over 30 years privatisation supposedly reduces prizes improve service and so on what has your experience and your studies it doesnt reduce prices and it usually doesnt improve services and in many cases it services worse. Thats the basis on which prostrations always sold but immediately people have experience a product as almost the 1st thing that happens is that prices go up prices go up because the private companies are taken over or in the business of restructuring it to generate. Returns that the Public Company didnt get. Which might explain why its usually made it Popular Resistance that its almost all this force troops when italians want it in the referendum where clause promoting water privatization. The government tried to reintroduce that i left that Water Utilities in private. Why the thing that most of the governments in europe but also in latin america and the states still stick to this kind of economic model protozoans are seen as an easy way of getting large amounts of money into government so you can use it either true or to reduce taxes and that self actually used it and thats how again the going governments do it and thats how for example countries like greece are being instructed to use it by the i. M. F. This is this is this is the core purpose of proposition a great concept cease to generate revenue to reduce the debt. And once something is in private hands it is at the risk of takeover by larger often foreign companies. I mean romania there recently protested against water and held privatization but nothing seems to get them as worked up as their forests. Being handed back to private owners theyve been heavily exploited by International Investment firms and european would processing companies. On the border to be transferred when hes one of the forest that has been decimated. Its be replaceable according to the lawyer representing forest owners who may now have the last intact through a forest landscape where the man has nothing to vent least for a start. Today are they are not protected. How far away is it actually one hour or depend on. Their old one hour and a half day legal clear cutting mainly happens in remote places high up in the mountains. Romania was a colony of the get real name and now is the said. And for his country do you get with you again it would appear a failure for john. Relative poverty means cutting gangs can exploit forest that country cant afford to protect. You see well hes known for it oh yeah you see it. Here we can walk so this is it finally. From here we dont see it. Its bigger and its what we can see here is completely illegal. Usually you are not allowed to card to more than 300. 00 or forests. And how big is this approximately. 15200 pictures of forest but im tired of guns and you we need it now they are still cutting it they cut to every day since when did this start and what is the scale of this clear cutting in romania the big one its beginning after 2000 to 2003. That was the moment when theres power for kompany or ponder force factorial. In our back on the Austrian Company whole stench 5 hole for our now romanias largest wood processor they dont cut the wood themselves but they are able to offer a relative fortune to those who will mostly this clear cut down by you know many empty parks the gang cool. These forests forged the documents and when they reached the revolver factory they had some documents to show them it into to respect any law. But at the factory some didnt even need forged documents. Their own mental Investigation Agency posed as a cutting gang willing to ignore the law something that didnt present a problem for michael a little bit concerns me using the rigidity devalued that we have to reduce or be your piece more than what we get it from from our side. Youre the size you want. We asked her for an interview but they declined so we turned to chance a green activist who has been. One of their employees a manager has admitted that if they run at full capacity theres no place for other processes on the market can you tell us once they end up in this factory where do they go this sawmill is actually slicing up the logs to make planks out of it and then they exported worldwide. China japan the arab countries even usa its a world market the main problem is the fact that theres not much left for us to add to devalue what happens somewhere else the jobs happen so to say somewhere else all of these exploitation of nature is happening in romania but nothing stays here it actually goes to other countries right yeah you stay in this in this vicious circle ok of selling more and more resources at the price that is being. Created or fixed somewhere else outside of your country and you stay in a dependency of those wants to buy your resources. And you destroy your nature and you destroy your livelihood. This makes me wonder whether we can speak about a new kind of relationship which is very similar to the relationship which we had during dol soon gagnon one of. You have the empire you have western europe also in companies German Companies French Companies who are cutting forests all around the mania in the for the of the European Union and then they are importing them back to europe. And the empire is using the Natural Resources not only for us but Health Care System education water and they are expecting to well you know in order to sort this and. So could we say that europe is actually polarizing itself. The story is just found since it had a line some media angles in this story are numerous 4 come to separate the spin from the facts the misinformation from the journalism the listening stuff on aljazeera. Theres a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often peoples voices are not heard because theyre just not part of the mainstream news narrative. Obviously we cover big stories and we report on the big events that are going on but we also tell the stories of people who generally dont have a voice i mean when i was a child my thats never be afraid to put a hand up not a question and i think thats what i observe and does he ask the questions to people who should be accountable and also get people to give their view of whats going on. In a 2 part series. Observes the lives of 2 children. Over 20 years. Where insights into circumstances that shape lives. In a rapidly changing. 20 years of me starts with blood and land to story on how to 0. And 0 in on terror nandan the top stories on our syria the United States announced a new wave of economic sanctions on iran in retaliation for its missile attack on bases housing u. S. Troops in iraq the sanctions target irans manufacturing and Mining Industries as well as 8 senior officials washington says the officials were involved in missile strikes on monday that hit the Assad Air Base in Anbar Province yes treasury secretary stephen knew converted to keep pressure on irans Economy Today sanctions are part of our commitment to stop the iranian regimes global terrorist activities the president has been very clear we will continue to apply economic sanctions it tell iran stops its terrorist activities and commit that it will never have Nuclear Weapons aviation officials in tehran have rejected accusations that an Iranian Missile mistakenly shot down a ukrainian airliner killing 176 people on board the head of Irans Civil Aviation Organization says the plane caught fire and was having technical difficulties frances air Accident Agency has confirmed it will be involved in the investigation and the u.

The u. S. Navy says one of its will ships has been aggressively approached by a Russian Naval vessel in the North Arabian Sea the destroyer u. S. S. Farah good sounded its horn 5 times the russian ship continued to move closer before changing course after another warning. Theres the top stories do stay with us for bin colony continues next hour be back with a news hour in just under 30 minutes to join me then if you cant i phone or. 2 2 2 2 in part one we saw how the richest country so if you are extracting the resources of smaller papers for countries like greece and romania in what could be described as a colonial way. Its quite interesting to look at the 1st globalization the icy ninetys the late 19th century. Where you go to very similar pic of british french german. Companies. Investing around the world. Sometimes the same time the same. Team was just starting out. Just as then the Companies Buying up the sectors have close links to the state like Energy Giants e. D. F. Owned by the french government. And what in full on by sweden but its not limited to just European Companies and governments europe is also facilitating a colonization by Larger Forces sociologists sussan says fine and the abstract idea of making money from money is the real power in the world today. One way in which i would put it is that were really dealing with with a period that is dominated by a large echo of extract that is not the language they use it sounds much better if you say privatization and deregulation thats just sounds like such a intelligent and and sober way to go about it when you say finance google and all kinds of other sectors are extract sect. That doesnt feel so good it feels like something is getting taken out of the Financial System it might as well be mining it has to go into other sectors and extract which makes it particularly dangerous unlike say more traditional forms of investment and corporate is that it can extract. Not just from the very rich but from anything including very modest step. Even dogs who once reported the free market are worried. You know centuries old the old also from gary an emperor former politician gosh but how much campaign for hunger is transition from communism to the free market. That he was 40 fight when that led to millions losing their jobs he puts this recent trend into Historical Context but the. The so this is the same continent as him without responsibility without the political project without the royal navy without the reduced raj without introducing this some doubt this is just sheer economic and barely growth force being applied. Without any kind of responsibility and any kind of. Idea about economy future whatever to the weak a conscience so basically i mean this is going to force them will only listen because clearly weighs in many ways twice the support thinks of total irresponsibility its cheating everything and everybody in the same manner maximizing profits and neglecting strategy. And you know this is not the road me you know corrupt company or a little General Motors or the old standard oil that had some sort of policy that had some sort of construction that has been you know threshed out of the political authorities and so on so forth these companies today didnt have any policy not even a wrong one not even an evil one they just want they just want the money. Much of that money flows through the city of london europes biggest financial center. But how long london will retain that position is im not his britain wall today in the referendum to leave the e. U. In june 2016. This utterly stunned the british and european establishment who blamed it on the economic laws or who they say are also in a fog. But britain was also the pioneer of privatisation in europe especially in places like porto built in wales. The last surviving Blast Furnace of britains once mighty Steel Industry this facility was sold off in the eightys and is now owned by the indian giant. Periodical trade into pose so i wonder is it really immigration or economics behind bricks. And. The ratio of us. Immigration its not just a case of they come in over and say can i want jobs are jobs that theyve taken because people dont want to im at the mall farmers will tell you our farmers cannot get people to go into a field and pick tater will pick sprouts or whatever it might be just because we come out of europe doesnt mean to say you know solve the problem. Because if you still cant get people to pick the stripes or to pick the fruits then you know that people into doing. What is the importance and significance of the steel factory. And how it all could change if those would be the ethics or more than they receive for families and so i want to know paul told bush to risk all the other downstream suppliers that weve got you know we dont trust road which is 50 mile down the road that has every single heins team in this country originates from ports over and is then tinned in trust to the effect in the economy if you will of sense we. Would be symbiotic if anything happened here the knock on effect would be incredible you corner shops headdresses petrol stations self employed people you builders you carpenters all these people rely on the steel works because the people who work if you feed them as well in the field your water to remain on the referendum. Youre going to give. Up your little im very disillusioned with. The. Harlem entry processes that go on stage where. The coast racist term youre completely off i walk into walked. Into t. T. Top player we know and i think. Shop a great show thats where i. Am for a change as much as in the rocky play their history of cheer. And people have nothing to lose. So it isnt the immigration theyre angry about but the colonial style extraction britain has practiced on itself for 35 years the efforts of which are all of us in marks hometown of tredegar which lost its steel mill in 2013. And all of this is now both permanent i dont know this well what was it before. It was but its you know farai into things in a laundromat. Half size and how is this connected with the steel works because this is santa i mean last night. People cant afford to buy the product so use the same system because now if you look around you see if i take away the trash that. This is the kind of place supposedly full of hatred for immigrants but it seems that resentment of foreigners has little to do with their anger at the e. U. In the pub i find out what the issue really is prepared for an economics lesson well styled. In a sort of new low in here liberal economic model full employment is now not of vital importance to its failed communities like this where full employment and and in industry were so important and the result is poverty crime. And the only issue in inequalities which nearly new your liberal new. Has caused one major issue which is youve got companies who are bigger than countries so weve got a choice for that crossroads jew except that were going down a road of this neo liberalism the neo liberalism lism out of Global Corporations which then start to rule the world or were going to start going well actually no i cant be allowed to what we got to get back to is assets that of British Assets that the french assets the german are controlled by those states you know the biggest freight. Company in this country is german or Water Companies or electrical cars in the east are all foreign surely the company right there think after breaks it ok want to be open to the dangers of globalization nearly burst a wall or Big Companies will still be hearing you have the opportunity for exploitation thats the way same with the arena well right this would really make a big big difference because they control it whatever. How can this colonial process of dispossession be taking place it was such a massive scale without becoming headline you. Well this 21st century colonialism doesnt ride into town waving a National Flag he just seems to happen. But its actually the result of institutions and rules designed to be shipped and. Im going to try and unravel this beginning at the port of color youre going to hurt. The socalled. Chango. Which is a refugee camp in. Jungle is home to those trying to cross the 20 miles of sea between here and britain i was sitting between the french governments regular attempts to clear it at a time when its still growing you can still see 3000 people here who are in a kind of limbo. People from syria afghanistan africa iraq and all those countries from war souls on the other hand everything is being done to preserve the fleet floating well. To your eternal connects britain to europe and covers over 100000000000. 00 of trade a year. Junkie is the director of public affairs. So all the channel tunnel carries a loss high value the perishable the just in time components for manufacturing the express deliveries the internet retail so companies can actually manage their stock in a constantly moving process that saves them from having warehousing saves them enormous costs and it means that they can have these integrated businesses that operate across the whole of europe. The call area of 2 to 5 kilometers is like this. Previously we had to the boundary fence so the things you see around any factory or any Industrial Site then. People started to try and break down the fences so the answer was increased the only difference is these are the same standards high security fences and very difficult very different crime so we now have a very sophisticated fencing and surveillance operation. And since october last year weve had no disruption from the migrant process what about the refugees who came from syria from either mainly from greece who are actually also trying just to find a better life their future problem is something which is a geopolitical issue so we were company in business that operates between folks and in coming were not we dont have a role a major role in solving the refugee crisis thats for Governments International institutions to move to manage we have a role a responsibility to our customers to our shareholders to our own staff and to anybody. Whos on our side. Your eternal security is now a seamless operation involving french and u. K. Forces a relationship established only after the company sued the government in a special for putting forth over questions as to exactly where that responsibility cutting and what how much response from security on a shelf. And so. There was a case in the international trouble tradition. In 2001 the 1st to set the record for the state of that responsibility. Obviously from the perspective of the company youre a title it makes sense to ask the course to be covered from the state because in the 1st place the state was responsible for the refugee crisis but its very interesting to see what is precisely the mechanism which is being used here in order to get the cost being covered by the state. Court of arbitration or to britain and france to pay your eternal 25000000. 00 for the cost of securing against migrants in the late ninetys. This is highly controversial so im going to the heart of the e. U. Brussels to talk to someone who knows how this secret process this war. That court is part of the investor state dispute settlement mechanism known as the ice d. S. Which allows companies to sue states when their profits are dreadful. The whole point about the investor state dispute mechanism is that it runs outside the court system its about a special sort of law for big corporations i. Z. s is part of that if youre right i stare says its part of the t. T. Ip so for most of the ordinary people if you mention something such as t. T. They will not understand what it is about ok i would say tip is the transatlantic trade and Investment Partnership and its a major trade deal on the board being discussed now between the European Union and the United States it has all sorts of implications you know from the food you ate the medicines you take the vehicles that you drive the energy that you have Animal Welfare whether you want to keep genetically modified organisms out of your crops you know if the worst comes to the worst and some of the big corporations get what they want. This really is a could be a potential real rollback of a lot of the very valuable legislation that a lot of people who fought over the years to get in the european ok here follow your. Supporters on the other hand say that harmonization of regulations will draw the european economy by tens of billions of dollars a year. So i thought it would be sensible to see the document and gene agreed to take me to the reading room for members of the European Parliament its not open to the public in any sort of way. You only get access to the documents if the institutions documents they are gives you permission. Going. So if the United States says were not willing to let you see our documents you dont going to see that. Its taken a massive european wide Grassroots Campaign for a me piece to be allowed to see the text of the t. T. P. Agreement. And even now it was pulling hard to find. Thats thats the number that i was given below there may be no where is that if if youre already the reading of yeah because what we were told was forcing 17 but obviously thats. No no ok. I came. Back they only got half instructions its opposite force the 70. 00 hellish charge against the top of it all of that there was. No its not that one let up at the top and in that case then its what. We call this the. No she says we can film here just as for the money what is this that if it will. Go. He confirms it is there all the huge trade agreement is behind and find a bill unmarked door with a security keypad. Thanks as a minister of finance of greece of one of the Member States who was affected by these negotiations i had to sign a nondisclosure agreement promising that i would not reveal to my constituents to my voters that which i read if i was allowed to have a look at those negotiating documents this is preposterous and this is this is this is that the another moment of the democratic process representatives in a Representative Democracy keeping the de most of the position that they represent in complete darkness about what theyre saying on their behalf. So why all the secrecy we can leaks has exposed the t. T. P. And its siblings the Transpacific Partnership and a similar deal covering services so youre going to wrest control in terms. Of the effort already an embassy in london he explains why we only know about disagreements from leaks. These big teeth 3 agreements hes a teacher ip and t. P. Kept secret because otherwise there windrush democratic opposition in the population and there would be possible to negotiate you can come to conclusion i mean its pretty obvious what do they tell us about the new global order and what their deaths on democracy these are the most significant. Plan to reorder the legal and economic structure of the west and friends. At least since the construction of europe the nature of the agreements is a construction of a new legal and economic block or ultra neoliberal system which will which will cement alter near liberalism within your and a wide range of other countries in treaty form and treaties are very very hard to change because you need agreement of all the countries participating in treated change it so it is that the end of any other political project because only by violating the rule of law by tearing up these treaties that youve agreed to that in fact you can proceed in a different political direction. I dont think this process could be described as colonialism as a new kind in a way of colonialism yes its a its a new multinational colonialism heinies free. Trade agreements reveal hidden mechanisms to which europe is on the one hand colonized by Multinational Companies and Financial Institutions and on the other hand colonizing itself.
