Councillors that have come under attack for social cleansing and for voting for social cleansing what did you think of Jeremy Corbin saying that there should be balance on estates needed before Labor Council sold off public property hundred percent i think weve really lost our way i think a lot of the Labor Councillors have really lost their way and they got sucked into i mean i suppose because of a lack of government funding but they got so sucked into this here farai joint partnership developing hames and then there are social housing squeeze and squeeze and some of the Labor Councils are as bad as some of the worst of the worst offenders on the other side before you even get to a private contractors what does it feel like to realize a k p m g is now being investigated one of the big five orders in the world over of the multibillion collapse of karelian when people like you and pop star lily allen said the b. M. G. Should have no part in the. Public inquiry into grandfather announced by tourism a while and im very glad that it theyve been theyre being exposed now some of these Massive Companies have got their fingers in so many but one of the top orders in the world yes well whos been you know where is the cant ability hes keeping an eye on them i do think theres something changing in all of this these massive corporations who are accountable to no one. Are crumbling now and thats a terrible thing for people who work for them but i do think that this been a massive problem brewing for many many years with these huge unaccountable multinational corporations are going to argue little not just these private multinationals its Housing Associations is it time for labor to call time on Housing Associations over Notting Hill Housing in genesis Housing Associations or merging in your constituency sixty five thousand homes of the turner of point seven billion pounds is this labor going to do something about Housing Association absolutely there has to be complete review of how they run theyve been getting bigger and bigger and they started where i live in North Kensington they started there to get people out of the slums they are now the new slum landlords ive got photographs that would make you feel physically ill but Peoples HealthPeople Living in Notting Hill Housing theyve become the slum landlords and theyre getting bigger and bigger and less and less accountable and thats completely wrong there has to be a refute of how that works the Labor Campaign to remain which is ironic that it is precisely because of brics that even the European Court of human rights which protects private property. If britain gets out of europe gets out of its commitments to that it will be allowed to nationalize housing the asians will be able to take all these things its a demographic and draw is not a good time for corbin supporting policies supporting politicians yes it is and theres an awful lot that has to be reviewed but were in the right place to do that now i think we really are i think weve come to labor coming to grips with the massive social housing problem that we have. To think theyve you know i think we need to have done better for quite a long time being a voice in the wilderness in kensington people listening now because of this awful atrocity on my doorstep and anyone just finding anyone fearful that they will return to it blair eight years when north london councillor recently saying the problem with. De facto people like you people would you and me go because you have ideological dogma. That im not the same beliefs the thirty years you can call me can call me an ideologue dogmatic im going to continue believing what i believe which is a fair days pay people should have a roof over their head that doesnt leak food on the table and children should be educated and if we managed to do that by actually getting tax at a people who. Should be paid in the country where and wed be a hell of a long way to getting an equal society and then go to thank you. After the break seventy two hours of the dregs of maize return from china we ask Oxford University fellow pretty good john why did the u. K. Prime minister fail to fully endorse the nine hundred billion dollars bill and the Road Initiative all this and more coming up in part two of going on the ground. In. The memo his come and gone but this controversy is far from over the political bias of the deep state has been revealed and the legal activities exposed if anyone will be held responsible. Welcome back you gave minority government be the Prime Minister tourism may return from communist china in about seventy two hours or so but has she done enough to ingratiate herself with the super power of the twenty First Century because despite local media referring to aunty may many have been left wondering whether the u. K. Has reached its stated goal of becoming chinas best partner in the west joining me now is Oxford University fellow dr chris. Going back on have we done enough. To be back have we done in the us has theresa may done enough i guess it depends what her objectives are and i think that you know when it comes to china so often theres divided constituencies theres one group who feel strongly that yes trying is the superpower of the twenty First Century and so we need to do everything we can to access open that market for goods Products Services and people and then there are other people who look more soberly at. That is your teacher creating with who. I mean. The challenge and this is why its you know its a difficult tightrope for theresa may and i think pretty much every western politician to walk is on the one hand the sheer scale of china means that you know its role economically politically is undeniable and has to be reckoned with we need to be trading with engaging with china and on the other hand it has its own Strategic Interests and were you know here in the u. K. Or back home in my canada were naive if we dont think that it is also advancing its Strategic Interests in the world were naive if we always think that they align with ours and so its always a difficult i think you know penetrating analysis that has to be done but how do we balance those two sometimes conflicting objectives before we get too big a specifics does china need to trade with britain some saying the middle class would have trouble even fulfilling the desire as in dreams of chinas growing middle class little wouldnt be able to export goods of the world in ten twenty years i mean this is a good question so you know in the specific case of britain you know could china get by without trade with britains for sure it could be britain today only just economy where the fifth largest economy will be export about three percent of our total exports to china and its basically automobiles and tourism which is Chinese Tourists coming to london and shopping there or coming to our universities and studying here. And there in lies the giant opportunity for British Business of course i mean the skys the limit with with how much that could be increased but from a chinese perspective you know the absolute value of trade with britain i think is far less important then having an ally within the west that has you know for example been the first major western power to get on board with the Asian InfrastructureInvestment Bank just a big washington goes away. In washington and again this is this type of pride it is not easy to decide when do we need to weigh our Strategic Interests highly or as a priority and senator member member of the can of this is not you know and so again we walk this tightrope and we dont say no and you know people who look at the other multilateral Investment Banks whether its the world bank. Or the i. M. F. You know they soberly see that there is there is good in having a new kid on the block with a new innovative model a lot of people agree that there is just too much bureaucracy in overhead within some of these other Multilateral Development banks and so you know we cant we sometimes we may just sort of sometimes we make the mistake of assuming that you know chinas motives are always nefarious and that is just as naive as believing that it doesnt have a strategic interest you know when it acts in the world the truth is a balance of both and its always about in the case trying to figure out which it is well in favor of the United States as an retaliated against David Camerons decision when George Osborne was the joy to be what do you think just just for a second what do you think donald trump would do to mr trudeau if canada suddenly decided to be like britain as regards that thats a good and sober quest warren kind of you know. The politics of it is because nafta is at risk in north america probably the trudeau government isnt going to do all that much to make more enemies within washington until they get past nafta and then maybe they have some flexibility to go their own way i mean i think that the challenge within the United States and the opportunity for china is that i dont really think that the trumpet ministration does have. A very well thought out approach to how its going to deal with what really is the big game of the twenty First Century which is the. Whereas twenty five years ago there was really only one political economy which was rules based on free market economic ideology or arguably and i know that im simplifying the case because i only have a few minutes but now there is very strongly an alternative model which is state driven a hybrid economy. You know one model is promoted through multilateral free trade agreements like the Transpacific Partnership from which donald trump withdrew the United States and the other model is promoted by unilateral initiatives that arent rules based but are primarily interest based like the built in Road Initiative and that one is moving it tourism has refused point blank to endorse the built in Road Initiative in a practical sense it is an ambition to develop infrastructure and trade linkages with about seventy countries in asia in africa in europe and in the middle east about thirty countries have officially signed on to the one belt one Road Initiative and and at least declared theres about nine hundred billion dollars of Infrastructure Investments that have been put on the table and the broad strategic objective for china is to reorient the balance of global trade to wards eurasia and if we think about the Twentieth Century that really the balance of trade with atlantic it was between europe and the americas. China sees the twenty First Century balance shifting to eurasia and they see both the opportunity and the strategic benefit of driving that rebalance historical president s is a war it was a be then england or persian empire i mean we were that the original silk road which if you look at the models and the maps that beijing puts out today its basically the current belt road is duplicating the original silk roads which were both a an overland trade route sort of through what is now pakistan all the way to europe and then sort of the along the ocean coast trade routes through singapore up of the course of the indian ocean and ultimately into the mediterranean through through the through the persian gulf with us its but of course now that the resume is not endorsing it well its all going to get out now it is all going to pull up up what do you think the people in beijing are going to think when they read in the papers that to raise them a refuses to endorse their project. I mean i suppose its its a setback from a from a chinese perspective from a beijing perspective its also an opportunity. If if theresa may had come on board and said yes we are with it then they would be touting that as heres further evidence that everyone else should be a part of this this is a legitimate project this is not china trying to be you know its saying its illegitimate. Well again theres this there is this you know always an open question about what are the Strategic Interests. And do they align with us what is the conversation being had now and the theresa may has said no were not going to get on board is. China phobia is alive and well in the west right there is this kind of hysteria that everything were trying to do has some nefarious out here your motive we had joining in the way of doing Good Business as a president ial campaign after all what he said about you know we did it but the reality is that and i dont want to percentages on this is only going to be really known hindsight but you know a lot of the investment a lot of the development that is going to happen that has happened and is going to happen under belt and road is going to be Good Business its going to be about Building Energy infrastructure so that we can build manufacturing within africa middle east and other parts of asia and thats going to be good for the people who benefit from it you can see here what youre saying just there if we just stop you there how if you look at the wastelands of his job to kill a to first stage of the union the waistlines of the midwest or if you go ten miles north of this studio here in Central London and you see the destruction of even some services. Offices let alone factories and so on youre talking about massive infrastructure you think a different planet so i guess lets be clear that belton road is and this is where we get into you know what strategic interest this is a this is an initiative that you know chinese president xi jinping has conceived and is promoting to strengthen chinas economic linkages in the world its not his plan for how the whole world lifts and gets better and to the extent that the road succeeds in sort of shifting. From a Twentieth Century where trade was atlantic focused to the twenty First Century where its eurasian focused there is no question that along sort of the current trade routes theres going to be losers and would you say it would detect the strategic problems being debated perhaps here and why to a win in davos britains woman in beijing investor barbara wood wood said the u. K. Saw itself as a natural partner of milton road to see being too cool to dick to raise amaze later thoughts of it. So in some ways actually the u. K. At least theoretically would be a natural partner if we look at the strength that china has to contribute to building the road a lot of it is around industrial capacity the chinese economy produces too much steel for domestic demand but if we can create demand in all these other parts of the world. Thats an advantage that we have china has probably more experience now building mass infrastructure whether its high speed rail or airports than any other country in the planet whereas the u. K. Has real experience in project management in the financing of mega projects and if the opportunity was given for them to be involved in a managerial in a finance capacity a lot of these projects. Everyone who is well served by these problems still had a raise of able to stand in judgment so they would it would have maybe a billion dollars into this well i think that the the practical problem right now is that if you look at the work that has been done and under built and rode about ninety percent of it has been delivered and managed and financed by the chinese partner so there is a great rhetoric out of beijing about how this is something that is multilateral no open to everyone and theres a reality at least so far on the ground where it is primarily seems for the benefit of chinese industry and so i think that there are real imbalances like that that you give theresa may and people who are more cautious of boat. Where is the line between rhetoric and reality a good case to say not yet or maybe on a case by case basis. Donna thank you and thats it for the show will be back on wednesday when the founder of fairness and accuracy in reporting Norman Solomon bates tribute to one of the worlds greatest journalists of all who died in the process for even going back with us by social media well see on wednesday five years to the day that the u.

Kilometers of rubble nation a vast desolate city strewn with conflicts all morning to find bodies the state of mosul today for your role in from its liberation or to use video wager. See ripley has been capturing images of iraqi cities her posts this law makes state reality we do need to warn you again you may find the following for highly upsetting. How many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred are there anymore years in houses and all their odds. Are i dont i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we are currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is. We havent received any kind of aid since things finished here seven months ago on one occasion did they receive a small box of food bombs no food nothing. Well our Senior Correspondent they have witnessed deliberation operation and its aftermath he shared his experiences with us in the studio work here. Seven months since the battle of mosul ended theyre still digging up peoples bodies and i was there when these bodies had just begun to rot and i dont the gull ever forget it was the smell it was beyond sickening beyond north you know there were areas entire districts in mosul where you could hardly breathe properly the real heroes are the people doing the digging the people the rescuers that are sifting through all this all this wreckage and pulling out these bodies theres so desensitized you can see theyre not even wearing breathing mosques or even even rags but then again theyre paid pennies to do this hard work because we see jobs are scarce and moves will. Standing buildings. Just describe the traumatic inherent is experienced. And youve outlined lots of difficulties but were there any other problems that were highlighted when you were that well there is still a huge problem and that is unexploded bombs shells mines isis booby traps suicide vests and all of those are still are still all over mosul and when kids are playing for example on wrecked buildings or when rescuers are digging out a body when homeowners come back to their destroyed houses trying to salvage what they can thats when those bombs go off and rescuers tell us every day they get several more new victims of well the battle of the battle of mosul but we were there from the very beginning from when those u. S. Led Coalition Jets bombed isis in in mosul day and night then when it was safer we got a little closer to see what those explosions really caused the price of the liberation of mosul. Oh. The billion cattle thieves are a fact of life in this short of situation. Do you agree that some of the the high level of i think ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this. Behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shield theyre going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding to the problem congresswoman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and theyre exploiting man and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is him become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things were doing although we will try. Laboring street all but destroyed the streets across. The street over there its the same story wherever you look. Calculus or deep scary of the all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take to get rid of. Let me show you west mosul now a wasteland the city for intents and purposes has been erased and there is little or nothing left so its
