London protests against gentrification the daughter of revolutionary u. K. Politician peter rhee known for his work with militants in one thousand nine hundred but we speak german for the house of lords about why no one listened to him when he exposed charities dirty tricks two years ago well the symbol coming up and going underground. To everybody im stephen. Hollywood. Proud american first of all im just george bush. This is my buddy max famous financial guru little bit different. When combined. With all the drama happening in our country im rude have fun. Every day americans move moment and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the Great American pill which. Was going on knowledge is only for the same. Bumble delusional fears it doesnt have any meaning unless it leads to real kids which can be. You know guaranteed only by the most pristine of presentation. Welcome back today the northeast of britains capital london sees demonstrators gathered to oppose policies from a council run by jeremy corbins labor party the posies concerned socalled social cleansing order near liberal gentrification and one of the organizers is the u. K. Socialist parties nancy taft would like activists right across new donations opposes the moving out of working class families to make way for expensive out of reach housing and Regional Development that she welcomes you going underground tell me about todays demonstration in northeast london well today is part protest and part celebration the spicy move from star which we believe is about to be destroyed by a Regeneration Program which we own basically built for tower blocks one potentially twenty nine stories high take a third of us square away. The childrens playground up to the most polluted part of the square which is widely the bus station and in return for us given a public space away when were not guaranteed genuinely affordable hons i guarantee in twenty percent of Affordable Housing and i think southern creasy the labor m. P. Is claimed two hundred Million Pounds of private investment will be going into your area you dont like that private investment when not guaranteed anything there is no guarantee do you think we shouldnt use the word affordable i think theres a big question mark over im a big proponent of council housing. This term affordable muddies the water and complicates the sort of development that eating up london at the moment and leading to mass displacement of working class people who cant afford to live in the areas that they were born in and lived in all their lives its already happening all around the country and all around the world this idea of private Public Partnership in regeneration i mean i know youre in the socialist party i am in what i said what do you think of labors record before germ. We had a meeting with a star couple weeks ago when John Mcdonnell kind of very good meeting had a chance with exactly a year and basically the how meeting with a discussion about the legacy of pier five and the debt now that we have to pay as a consequence of a policy of bicycling getting into bed with the private companies who are late now billions of the Public Sector were still paying for these bad contracts. In schools and in hospitals i agree with corbin im at on that we should abolish peer fi and we should only pay compensation on the basis of proven need but the big business shareholders to buy simply can do one because theyre there theyre leeching off the Public Sector and i think its a mistake that particularly the blare are councillors in london are embarking on a policy in housing which is repetition of the filed policy in hospitals and schools and other Infrastructure Projects we have to be wary of polls but indeed the latest polls are mays local elections a call with labor body marriage best results since nine hundred sixty eight for the labor party what happens of these councillors the blairite councillors or the red tories as theyre called refused to support. Johns the John Mcdonnell views on social cleansing socalled down the law and after my is an intensification of council tax increases the model thats been put forward is basically built rabbit hutches right across london stuff a main make sure they dont have children because these. People cant have children and then turn the school mice the council tax and this is a motto that was prevalent in the nineteenth twenties it was replaced by the welfare state and the postwar settlement and were going back to prewar model that never worked for us. And thats basically what were arguing against which side we want municipal provision we wont cancel homes we want public spice libraries social services for the fun on the out its not one or skip a month she going to door havent concertedly gone against all these marriage counselors i have to imagine your father was one of the leading lights in arguably the last biggest struggle against near liberalism in this country and yet say your father got even be a member of corbins labor party how can you put so much trust in government or if they wont even allow your father to become a member than a party. Well first first of all i dont think its a person who actually would not let lieberman forward by the iraqs in the eightys we think there has to be a democratic if you like revolution inside the labor party because i stood for parliament as a socialist and if you look at what i stood on before corgan was elected is very similar to corbins program today where is if you look at the blairites and what i stood on that in a post phase it in here farai it didnt oppose the nearly pro. We need to link up the good corporate easters inside the labor party the activist outside particularly in london rebellion against this continuation of near liberalism we need an alliance a Grassroots Level weve seen a lot of headlines about corporate you and your family know about the secret state and what they do to democratically elected politicians who oppose new liberalism do you think we can expect more from both the media and the socalled secret state britain against your door let alone for what hes doing in the water and Jamie Corbett well first of all our city condemn the slurs against corbin and. I dont know and obviously we call for nationalization of the press. By you know billion is and we dont believe that a democratically accountable but we also started to corbin call on us from the dispatch box call a march of working class people to defend the n. H. S. Youd have a million on the straights or call of march demanding a million Council Houses being built the youth would come out in their droves we could shake this government out of power we could ally all the good point scoring at the dispatch box with a movement on the straights otherwise if we wait for twenty twenty two if the players get back in london and they continue with this policy and they continue with undermining gordons legacy by twenty twenty term many working class people would just be excessive i would be. Tie it with the words as they lived to tell you right which is what weve seen in other countries where youve seen the left edge and then nothing peoples lives that cant be allowed to happen here with the poor things are difficult for people we have to say now staff thank you. Well from defaming the u. K. Left to defaming british n. G. O. S like oxfam and save the children which have suddenly go under attack for poor management that alone colleagues sex parties that well u. K. Media hardly image of the reasons countries like haiti destabilized by u. S. Foreign policy for decades have become havens for n. G. O. S in the first place joining me now is lord belfer who has long been warning of issues of accountability when it comes to britains Charity Sector hes a member of the International Relations committee in the british house of lords lord valve well grant you are going underground so aside from the current scandal after scandal from one charity after another you have for a long time worried about the accountability of a charities tell me about that i think the problem is you cant just shift it back to the aid charities there is a Large Department seemingly pretty much out of control which in my view and its been my view for a long time should be part of our Foreign Policy network in other words the defeat to depart the International Development should in fact be a part of the Foreign Office if you dont see the danger there of politicising aid then around the world of its aid is closely allied to a particular party in government arm so you need to be identified with Foreign Policy clearly it has been for a long time hasnt it i mean britain doesnt give aid to agencies that are supporting what is perceived as the enemy what im saying is its not just the fault of the agencies it clearly is their fault but they only got away with it because of lax political control and one ministry in london bridge. Changing is not an effective method of control there has to be people on the ground probably either from the National Audit office or the treasury who are independent and charged with ensuring the spent properly and a proper ethical code of conduct is followed if i was a c. E. O. Of a charity had replied to you by saying there is a regulator a statutory regulator the Charity Commission whats the problem they have obviously and manifestly failed every day in the last ten days weve had further the Horror Stories all of whats happening in the aid agency but also the Charity Commission is a comparatively small underfunded body the house look after all the charities in the United Kingdom the idea that they can supervise charities all over the world is frankly a bit far fetched the government has to supervise it and the government has to realise basically that defeat has got to be absorbed into all Foreign Policy if such changes were made one of the whole hog and create a peace corps and do away with private charities and have a have a preschool run by different the Foreign Office because you would already you would also have charities i mean the peace corps ran alongside the Us Charitable status when it ran the only way of stamping out the abuse is firstly to integrate into the Foreign Policy mechanism and secondly jobson independent government surveillance as well as the charity surveillance or the big mad grew the level why do you think the voluntary sector is so powerful when it comes to a as opposed to if it was a peace corps for instance theyre all good middle class children are they are the inheritors you know in the victorian years we used to say in the youngest sons out to run the empire most of the aid workers ive met on. In forty years in politics they generally middle class they generally from the liberal intelligentsia they generally mean to do wail they clearly have standards of slip to them why you say middle class theyre not middle class enough to read oscar wilde who said Charity Charity creates a multitude of sins you dont think. It may have read it you havent absorbed very but you are you do appear to say that regulation is is far too difficult im saying the Charity Commission is not the right body to supervise this what you need in every embassy where there is a substantial aid program is you need need independent person on the ground in the country concerned looking at the aid program does it deliver value for money and ethical standards there are far too many four by fours impost cause and expensive living going on out of the aid budget this is got to stop the e. U. Said all of this last year was a new interesting to you when you were talking about accountability no i dont think there were one or its an uncomfortable message isnt it because its very comfortable to say oh well you know the charities have to reform but what hes actually needed is a reform of the way Government Works but without cutting the money but making sure its properly spent look at the billions of pounds that we poured into africa over the seventy years since independence and its about seventy years since most of them became independent. Its still poor you go to any country the first thing the agency would tell you is they need more money i mean ill give you those countries were paying debts to the i. M. F. During the Charity Money going abroad and yet the outlook is an argument that the whole aid project so flawed you do agree the point seven percent of our g. D. P. Should be go going on foreign aid and we have to say that in this in the context of hundreds of thousands of people in this country not being able to eat today without the help of good basic perhaps and it would still be the case at no point five percent north point seven percent is the u. N. Saw great britains thanks to David Cameron lets remember reach that im a great supporter of that but why not grow giving money away if theres malnourished when we dont have any way were actually investing it in the world it is even britains interests why do thousands of africans pile up in libya trying to get to europe because of poverty its actually margaret we have major war to destroy a little bit here. The drawbacks but overall its easy in the interests of the western world to promote prosperity in the rest of the world just fine you know would you serve as the new Charity Commissioner of the present one reserves well theres no reason for the Charity Commission to resign thats not with the emergency that you just said that they failed to regulate it im saying that defeated has failed to regulate the British Government has failed to regulate as i said the Charity Commission is an incredibly small body of people with an incredibly large job including very good rating extremists charities in britain. I dont blame Charity Commission the blame with firstly the government and they cant shift and it lies with the aid agencies themselves turned a blind eye for a long time to things they must have known were going on more more every day something more comes out. Of thank you and thats it for the show will be back on monday with britains first astronauts in space Helen Sharman britain out of the mainstream narratives because while she went with the gun before she flew in a russian spacecraft after responding to in the first of the radio till then.

Circle i want to do things that show. Everybody is really trying to be very clear like go away go to. Management. And they on they they have one they have and they have nailed the fat man you. Must get me you need yeah you feel this very. Soft yeah im numb what do you how much they have a home of Something Like your body looks local just one day in the woods my mum never talks to me mind if this goes back to my helmet available to measure the constant negative pressure. Say this is Charlie Munger as approach to economic slow bolt blow bubbles for wells fargo bail out wells fargo bail out the tourist charlie monger and war love it turns the word. Days of crisis talks at the United Nations failed breakthrough on syria as well as attempt to agree on a ceasefire for the rebel held. For the relocation of. A move the palestinians say could destroy. Me welcome to the Program First up syrian state media reporting. In the rubble. Of a fresh round of mortar shelling on residential areas in the capital. At least one person said to have been killed and fifteen others injured its the second time a bombardment by insurgents has caused casualties in damascus this week. Eastern go to a suburb of the capital and its been under siege by progovernment troops since twenty thirteen but the violence there has dramatically intensified as Regime Forces attempt to topple the last rebel stronghold close to damascus according to some estimates more than four hundred fifty people have been killed in the district this week its led the u. N. To call on all sides to immediately end hostilities the Security Council is expected to vote on a cease fire resolution later on saturday it was delayed after members failed to reach an agreement on friday they dont get over a draft which proposed a thirty day truce and the evacuation of people in need of medical treatment russia maintain that there was no guarantee that the militants would abide by the agreement moscow also said it wanted the almas for a group to be excluded from the truce. Which is the main problem minister and used as i mentioned hes consciously or unconsciously being treated the same as the other Syrian Rebels jim how to loose freeze not being touched and we still dont have evidence that the Coalition Led by the United States is treating it as a real target and of course we draw the attention of our american colleagues to that fact we dont see our comments having any effect well its been a tough days of rhetoric and negotiations now it all relates to the district of Eastern Ghouta thats east of damascus a suburb that is currently under the control of rebels and terrorists at the Syrian Government is trying to retake the city in an anti terror operation the anti terror operation is being widely criticized by western leaders recently we even heard from the u. S. President donald trump what russia and what iran and what syria have done recently is a humanitarian disgrace i will tell you that were there for one reason were there to get isis and get rid of isis and go home. Were not there for any other reason and weve largely accomplished our goal but what those three countries have done to people over the last short period of time is a disgrace the leaders of the International Community are in full agreement that civilian life in eastern is very important and that the conditions are dire all want to make sure that civilians are safe however there are clear disagreements among World Leaders about who is to blame for the situation in eastern guta many western officials have been voicing strong opposition to the syrian operation in the militant stronghold but russia and others have long accuse them of double standards particularly off to the west so muted response to the campaign to liberate the iraqi city of mosul from Islamic State which also had a devastating impact on civilians. By the escalation of strikes needs to humanitarian disaster systematic targeting of civilians and this is how on us ongoing slaughter of trap civilians its about the focus of the Syrian Government as well and we cool on that one because including russia to ensure that this violence stops. In iraq and in syria people are much more accepting that because it. You could their city being liberated they understand what they were suffering civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price but unavoidable part of the war and commanders have to press on despite that the responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with isis we are the good guys and the unison people on a battlefield with a different political analyst john white says the western powers misrepresentation of the situation on the ground to goose it will only add to the suffering of civilians. Regime change propaganda as entered the realms of the fantastic in groups such as nusra front and jash his land which is the dominant faction in eastern guta these groups which are here to the same ideology responsible for nine eleven and a whole litany of terrorist attacks there are no being depicted theres rebels as partisans of Second World War repute whereby the syrian army. Soldiers drawn from every part of the multicultural and multireligious of Syrian Society there are no being p. T. Theres a lot of the waffen s. S. An army of occupation the than an army of liberation so this narrative will continue syria comes closer to achieving its complete liberation and the suffering of civilians which no one can deny is being prolonged by this continued attempt to undermine the attempts of the Syrian Government and its allies particular russia to liberate the country. The us to set the date for when it will move its embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem it will be made the fourteenth which coincides with the seventieth anniversary of the establishment of the israeli state heres what President Trump had to say about the decision which is being causing fury across the arab world and beyond people calling begging we dont do it dont do it dont do it campaign against it was so incredible but you know what the campaign for it was also incredible and we did the right thing with tensions running high on thursday a group of palestinian activists attacked a u. S. Delegation visiting a research and Polling Center in the west bank city of ramallah the americans were pelted with eggs and had to be evacuated from the area since december when trump took the decision to recognize to roost in him as israels capital more than twenty palestinians have been killed and around a thousand others injured in demonstrations. Next american has more on the symbolism of washingtons move and the fallout thats resulted. Put it simply trump said he doesnt care what the world thinks about his decision to move the embassy to jerusalem which actually supports israels claims to the city but when he says the campaign against his decision was incredible he means this. Last november. Not. Even though trump doesnt care people in the region do today we saw clashes in hebron continue which israel on the other hand is praising from its minister for transportation saying to trump in a tweet even called him a friend of a back in december in a Security Council vote of fourteen countries condemned to trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital and including and among those were staunch u. S. Allies like the u. K. And france and in the General Assembly one hundred and twenty eight countries got the use of the detail obstructed the Security Council and unable to perform his duties and do de kids a work of the International Community but it is considered a blatant violation of the rights of Palestinian People must be resolved through negotiation between the two parties are un members. Throughout didnt the other members this is bullying and this john but it will not. Now despite International Backlash the state department has notified congress that its embassy will be bouvard to jerusalem on may fourteenth which is much sooner than originally planned last month a Vice President pence at the embassy would be moved by the end of twenty nineteen but like you said may fourteenth also happens to be the day israel declared its independence back in one nine hundred forty eight and it was the day president truman officially recognized the state but considering the International Communitys past response itll be interesting to see how they react to this latest announcement gideon levy whos a columnist for Israels Haaretz newspaper believes moving the embassy will have dire consequences for the entire region. The United States is supporting the occupation the United States is really slipping in the face and spitting in the face of the palestinians and moved he moved the embassy to jerusalem and in this same time the clear jews in eastern as the future
