Wash up to the general election thats what the labor party did so they cant go back on this now but still a little of any Public Inquiry into the implications of the paradise paper i dont see that it needs a Public Inquiry ok well the governor has a lot on its plate today six round talks at the e. U. I mean given the European Union arguably the dork over the fact to brazil and to prodemocracy activists i mean how these negotiations going on even negotiate with European Union well i think that thats a very interesting question to make how do you negotiate with it with the European Union and the short answer to that is slowly and carefully and there are many things that we need to be concentrating on in our trade relationships around the world and the new its one of them you said the asians should be going slowly whats to say that they deliberately look being linked from the by european offish. It was to see britain and the like other european nations. To remain i voted and i still think that was the right decision but the country voted in a different way and i lost that argument and we have to accept it and i dont think its in anyones interest either for the e. U. Or for us to duck negotiations over future trade policy it certainly it certainly would be in both interest if we got a good deal in place john l. After the break.

Welcome back well while former u. K. Labor pm gordon brown may be trying to make an audience at the l. S. E.

And gio the Trussell Trust hundreds of thousands of children have nothing but food banks to feed them in austerity britain between april and september six hundred thousand three day emergency Food Supplies had to be given out to stave off hunger so what about the usa a country whose new liberal policies have long been revered by u. K. Politicians we sent senior producer pete bennett to speak with the custom crew of a film hotly tipped for the oscars the florida project this friday in britain the film follows underclass survival in the shadow of multinational media corp the walt disney company. Written and directed by sean baker the florida project follows the misadventures of three kids living on the highway to the most magical place on earth disney well florida. An oscar nominated legend willem dafoe and the cost the first time the story is set in a budget motel now mostly home to americas hidden homeless i spoke to brave unlike say he was discovered through social media about her character haitis experience of poverty motherhood and separate commendation hayley as a young mom shes in her early twentys she has a six year old daughter named money shes just trying to figure her life out financially struggling doesnt really have a lot of opportunity i and the film is just about her daughter mostly but its about her kind of child to figure out the shadows without putting them on her daughter not being able to pay or right not being able to get where all those things are true and they and they go through these things regularly so it definitely. Situations that are really going on and these malthouse do you realize before the film about some of this hidden homelessness situation in america how many people who are suffering i never know about that and its not because i didnt want to its just because its not really spoken about so its really awesome that shawn is shedding light on a subject thats really important i feel like i really agree with shawn when he says housing is a fundamental right and i feel like its not fair that so many people are just overlooked and its definitely everyone deserves a home but what it is is actually very much stemming from the recession of zero eight and the housing crisis that immediately followed it and you have a lot of transplants and for various reasons you know coming from mostly the new york area puerto rico and looking for a place in which they can they cant find permanent housing so what theyre doing is that theyre using these Budget Motels as basically a place to keep a roof over their heads you know theyre one step away from the streets theyre there its the last refuge before actually turning to shelters or the streets on the phone this sort of a donation food truck where people are getting. We feed here in the u. K. We have feedback its become a massive. Issue with d. C. The first time people relying on donated food oh yeah you know its thats thats one of the biggest concerns is that there isnt just simply there isnt enough funding from the government whether its local state or federal and so many of the agencies that are providing social services to the needy are being backed by their philanthropists so the private sector i mean even disney itself had to give five hundred thousand dollars last year to the Homeless Impact Fund which helps Central Florida so it its about getting its about getting basically the government then now to really step up and and provide funding for Affordable Housing and low Income Housing so then thats kind of symbolic in a sense thats happening on the doorstep of disney you know the second biggest a Media Company in the United States that is exactly why we decided to have our story take place in this area is this very sad juxtaposition of children growing up right outside of the place that we consider the happiest place on earth for children so its putting a human face on this issue its having us embrace a little mooney whose own lead character love her and laugh with her and spend the summer going through going on mysterious adventures with her with the hope that at the end of the film you know when theyre really audience members are leaving the theater theyre talking about the real movies out there because theyve connected with her through humor and through love. Having approached the subject in a journalistic style so met Motel Residents and manages in the lead up to filming funny cheese and sheets on location at the magic also motel boss youre still operational i suppose you wouldnt have thought about his character bowlby the hotels manager and what it was like to work amongst the harsh realities of post bail out America Bobby the character i play is the manager of the motel of a budget Tourist Hotel thats along this highway right outside of the newsman parks must now not only disney world in Central Florida and its a place that does have tourists come and stay there but it also houses a lot of people that dont have permanent homes and they pay daily weekly and they cant establish residence there so they kind of pay as they go but of course this makes a very precarious living situation and you have a lot of people you know living six to a room a lot of children its its a tough way to grow up it affects their schooling it infects how they eat. You know home having on should be a basic right these people dont have that. They struggle and thats the world that were talking about in this movie is that kind of symptomatic of some sort of some policies i mean i know theres a housing crisis i think this happened its not just in Central Florida its a lot of places and im sure there are similar problems here but in the states specifically after the economic crash and the housing crisis there are a lot of people that just cant afford. House they couldnt get the security. Money together they couldnt and they had a bad Credit Rating for various reasons and this was a solution for them but its a its a very its a tough cycle because. The kids are always moving they do they fall behind in school they cant they can cook on hot plates and thanks but they end up eating that fast food restaurants which cost them a lot more and they eat not how filet that you know you see all these threads that contribute to this cycle that is very hard to break and i think rather than talking specifically about this it is useful to talk about story because its not a polemic its a story. That takes place in this world seen through these kids eyes so its not. A totally. Downer movie theres something joyous about its portrait of childhood but at the same time always in the shadow you see the adults who are struggling and you recognize if these kids dont have different opportunities and if they continue to grow up this way though and be facing the same challenges as their parents. Yeah. They get down. Ok i want to get one drip in your eyes. Out now. Its not an inside job. Thank you very much. Agent will make a knee is an ice cream or a very. Very fine. Very sassy girl. Shes shes very very funny. Well jancee is not so what troublemaker but when she meets these two christopher and of course mooney. I dont little out of control but didnt see is in a bad person and. Janet is just a little girl that just. Dreams and when theyre trying to get money. They actually really get it. Sometimes in really think that people are going to give it to them but they do know that they do but theyre hungry they dont really have a lot of it so theyre hungry and so. They dont really know for the cost money they simply chanda get money to get their own food what do you guys want people to think after they see the maybe theres a special message which im going to tell you they should make the world a better place they should help out the Community Just go and bring things that you dont use that can still be in use and give it to them and make their want a better pleased they should give people things that they need because they should really be thankful fairly have let has they could be put in harry minis position they could make small motels like Budget Motels and all that stuff and they should be really really fine for that to have us and it could be their bill. And theres money in food and all that stuff just because to cut just because you were living in very politically heated times not only that we have we have technology that gives us you know updates every three seconds about either a political heated political scandal or or a disaster or a tragedy were getting hit a lot with it with news that isnt exactly positive and i think that film needs to still be an escape and so audiences they want that escape but but a filmmaker can also use this art form and this this form as a scape is to to to to shine light on an important issue and i think that thats when the film becomes its most powerful our politicians are not morally. Eaters there are there businessmen and in this case you know a businessman that you know totally is is is judgments and his and his wisdom. You know totally comes from this kind of. Capitalist model of beat the other guy doesnt exactly make you think as a nation or think yet as a community its all about getting over on the other guy something at the heart of competition and the heart of capitalism is you know who gets the most stuff at the end and i think we were learning for a while that thats not the way things get done you know in the end it becomes what you want to do what you want to pay for you want to pay for education you know and i was saying earlier i want to pay for cops and jails and its pretty clear that done. For me its no great story but were going on the wrong direction now but hopefully there will be an adjustment soon. And thats it for one of your favorite shows of the season will be back with a whole new episode to going on the ground on wednesday the seventeenth of january till then keep in touch via social media have a happy. Some Animal Rights activists are just upset that we eat meat perry it which makes no sense by the way because animals eat other animals and were supposed to be equal with animals but suddenly they dont want to humans eating other animals so in a sense theyre saying that animals have the right to eat other animals but humans dont have a right to eat other animals even though they think were all equal so some of theres a logical inconsistency that. We all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone first signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people ive seen cells that was nuclear biological and Chemical Products the said do not the truck tires all types of styrofoam will polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would read literally send a v. A. Broke and they dont want to pay it so the way to the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. Cultural and get the middle finger of the decent model is. Delayed and i hope you dont. Think skies or financial survival. When customers go by you reduce the price. To now well reduce some lower. Thats undercutting but whats good for the market is not good for the global economy. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. President trump agrees to again waive certain the sanctions on iran but warns that the us will walk away from the nuclear deal unless revisions are made. To Washington Post bureau chief in beirut is blasted on twitter for praising the bravery of the syrian journalist who is reputed to be a terrorist sympathizer. In the new York Police Union sues the forces the commissioner and the city mayor claiming a body can videos are being released for political gain. Forecasting lot of direct from our studios in moscow this is our Teacher National john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. Donald trump has agreed to extend a sanctions relief for iran but he says its for the last time four months from now the u. S. President will again have to decide whether to suspend sanctions as required by the nuclear pact and he insists that if revisions to the hard fought agreement are not made america will walk away. In two thousand and fifteen the Obama Administration foolishly traded away strong multilateral sanctions to get his weak nuclear deal despite my strong inclination i have not yet withdrawn the United States from the Iran Nuclear Deal instead i have outlined two possible paths forward either fix the deal with disastrous flaws or the United States will withdraw even though trump has repeatedly vowed to tear up the iran deal he has decided to keep the deal intact extending sanctions relief but also warning that this will be the last time until the deal is strengthened a bit sanctions will be added on iranian entities for their alleged support of terrorist groups now this comes after his National Security advisers and other signatories have all urged him to comply with the agreement and the e. U. Has been urging washington to stick to it for months the great value of the treaty c. P. O. Way the new deal the room the deal is working we want to. Protect just a few way. Why it should pay for this deal is crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of the well the agreement was signed in two thousand and fifty and it was hailed as a breakthrough in u. S. Iran relations as it ended International Concern over Irans Nuclear program and its often described as obamas signature Foreign Policy achievement but trump has always accused the country of violating the quote spirit of the deal now at the last deadline at trying to waive sanctions but decertified irans compliance with the deal which is completely unrelated to all of this a its not part of the deal and b. Irans Ballistic Missiles already been capable of carrying Nuclear Warheads now well just have to wait and see if congress and u. S. Allies will agree to trumps demands the foreign minister of iran is hit back at donald trump saying the u. S. Should stop jeopardizing the pact we asked people in tehran what they think. He even knows that he trumps plan will never be practical because its harmful for america this is a global agreement and its not just the u. S. That imposes sanctions and puts pressure on iran if the us wants to be isolated then yes it is the right way forward. Irans should stand strongly against these actions because the more weakness will show the more demanding the us becomes. And i dont think there is a brain in trump head hes crazy and hes the one who is unpredictable and i guess i think if he were really able to kill the deal he definitely would have done it by now i think it is more of a threat. When responsive to trump threads so european officials have voiced their support for the iran deal Germanys Foreign Ministry said berlin is committed to its full implementation if former advisor to irans a team during the Nuclear Negotiations told us that the us cannot afford to pull out of the pact. This is the president that makes decisions and you have to go one day at a time and dont place too much. He is all to meet them today because this deal serves uses national interest. Defense secretary mathis and tillerson anothers from the various european leaders just a couple days ago that this is working. Through nine elite force has confirmed as iran has fully fulfilled its obligations so there is really no rationale or justification for trying to go against did this crappy and really you know landed big stop on the us this could debility International Scene while the u. S. Tries to restrict Irans Nuclear activity the pentagon has reportedly been busy working on a major revamp of its own atomic arsenal the plans were due for release next month but have already been leaked to the media and the first of its kind in eight years the Nuclear Posture review outlines extensive plans to upgrade and replace some of the outdated arsenal and also aims at developing smaller nukes socalled low yield weapons a move that opponents say makes nuclear war more likely the plan wants funding doubled over the next decade and the document lists russia china and north korea as threats which need to be countered the federation of american scientists says the u. S. Already has well over a thousand low yield or Nuclear Warheads and in fact are as powerful as the bombs dropped on japan during the Second World War the proposed expansion is in contrast to President Trump earlier pledge to seek a global denuclearization. Number one i would like to do you know the world i would like russia and the United States and china and pakistan and many other countries that have Nuclear Weapons to get rid of the pentagon says it wont comment on the preliminary version of the document Robert Naiman from the just Foreign PolicyCampaign Group thinks more weapons wont actually strengthen washingtons position or deter a Nuclear Conflict nobody really thinks any sane person is going to use Nuclear Weapons in a strategic competition the point of having a few if there is any point at all is you know the other person will be deterred supposedly using your nuclear or their Nuclear Weapons because then you might use yours how doing more Nuclear Weapons doesnt change that contractors are going to make money off of losing their weapons so they create parochial interests there are pushing these things there are now something thats not in the interest of the world is not in the interest the majority. Of. The Washington Post bureau chief in beirut has faced a volley of criticism after posting a tweet praising the bravery of a journalist from free syrian t. V. It was quickly revealed though that the report has links to extremist groups as you go to stuff reports Everybody Needs a hero even beacons of independent journalism like the Washington Post and what better candidate than a man doing his job despite the constant threat of bombs. This syrian journalist standing in the open field well bombs explode all around him is very lucky to be alive now flood jacket or helmet you can barely hear the explosions he and his colleagues are very brave a professional for all of us journalists to look up to right wrong this book may have a pretty cover but its the gripping content thats of most interest this man in the video is to hear a martyr and possibly the best way to understand them is this tweet Shiite Militia turned into minced meat sixty People Killed in an eyesore Suicide Attack some respect for the dead maybe no now im satisfied he writes the different mission of bloodlust if you ask me in this picture is all smiles and handshakes with a saudi cleric a jihadi role model here. Sydney is sitting down against the backdrop of terrorist flags heres the one of i saw and heres nonstress as he worked as a mediator trying to reconcile the groups back in twenty fourteen he set up and ran a Training Camp for child soldiers in syria and has reportedly made repeated calls for sectarian genocide no wonder hes on the u. S. Security blacklist my city is far from the only terrorist has rubbed shoulders with many bells that night at this hour now bit of that. Thought the group is embedded within this video. Is internationally designated as terrorist born as a branch of an al qaeda affiliate later they swapped sides figuring i still flavored terrorism was more to their liking when i reached out to the Washington Posts Beirut Bureau chief about her tweet she disputed the fact that she ever gave praise to the man or his socalled journalism. I dispute that they gave praise to the journalist or his journalist i pointed out that standing out in the field and continuing to talk while explosions and there were no fall around you is brave she still admires his bravery though the Mainstream Media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take Bilal Abdulla karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed its as simple as that what can i do here in syria blend in the crowd i dont think so am i going to turn my so over to the Regime Forces absolutely no so what that hes giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least hes taking all the right boxes they say you have to protect human rights. They support the terrorism so how on earth. Of course human rights supporters of thats thats the bottom line of the hippocratic they have double standards. If this happens in the u. S. Mainland would they accept terrorists to be available terrorist organizations. To say they have good cause of course not the Mainstream Media has a habit of putting itself on a journalistic pedestal getting the facts right giving back
