Wants to know. And that would be a big try on of the many by the few yes as britain has for bracks it all been assembled and the entire remained team around him this in a week when those who seek an anti neo liberal e. U. Were arguably dealt a blow is the e. U. Chose people like the head of the i. M. F. To run the european Banking System yes this person the head of the International Monetary fund has been found guilty by a french court of negligence when she was the countrys finance minister Christine Legarde had denied accusations which said she allowed the misuse of public funds over a 400000000 euros state payout to a business tycoon the tapped new head of the e. C. B. Is also notorious for backing austerity across europe in britain austerity is linked to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths back in westminster he has long time crusader against austerity Jeremy Corbyn showing his impatience this government mr speaker is now an irrelevance the 2 candidates is it see. The 2 can do. To succeed her ive only got fantasy plans since she and her successors have no answers doesnt the Prime Minister except the best thing to do would be to go back to the people and let them decide which way we go perhaps one can forgive corbin his impatience on like drazen may and labours blairites he opposed u. K. Involvement in the nato destruction of africas richest per capita country libya thats libya where airstrikes continued this week and unlike tories he backed the humanitarian treatment of child refugees seeking asylum because of the r. A. F. But on wednesday he had to listen to this we can as a country and be proud of everything that we have done in help terms of how can refute g. s and other Vulnerable Children who are affected by conflict by violence and by instability because her support for bombing libya in syria was aimed at creating stability presumably like the 2008 Bank Bailouts and massive austerity or Economic Warfare on the poor created stability for countries like britain and for that matter greece which faces elections tomorrow joining me now is a communist member of the Greek Parliament the other conelly thanks so much for coming on the show before we get to any pessimism as regards the communist partys view of 2 wars elections why do you think on like you countries voters a may reject the fascism some may call it of golden dawn to more i think the i think that weve been fighting with the whole of the people but specially the communist party to get these nazis out of our parliament and i think that the diminishing of the power a is something exclusively big greek now because throughout europe they neo nazis are climbing up only in greece they are going down and thats a very very happy event and i hope we are going to to see again in this National Elections as you obviously know have been slapped in public. Throughout the World Everybody everyone has seen what nazis are especially against women certainly everyone around the world seems to be expecting a fight between a avowedly near liberal pro Austerity Party like new democracy or series which is implemented all separately policies and thats when your country has youth unemployment still of around 40 percent why is greece in this situation i think that the choices that to a socalled governing parties that they were sold and new democracy now its new democracy and citizen they are the part is the. Choose to be with the European Union inside the eurozone and that inside the nato game weve got about one 4th of the population being not the only poor but with no hope for the future as weve got about 600000 young greeks that leave the country to try to find a job. In other crimes this is a mainly european ones and weve got our allies like turkey that they have agreements for the refugees for example with europe to be aggressive enough to demand a half of the aegean sea to start or drilling aimed sighed the at the controlled by cyprus weve still got a minute to military forces military forces in cyprus so do you think that by mortgaging every inch of greek soil from palestinian to i dont know what to the european low nurse and their loan sharks for 99 years this is the signature that cities are put under this agreement and i think that is why people. I dont want any of them but series i would say look we may be defaulting on the i. M. F. Loan maybe not quite as much as Cristina Kirchner and her late husband in argentina are and not only that then refusing to take orders from strasburg no brussels over or apparent term impositions from the e. U. That greece should no longer have collective bargaining sort of explicitly as a trade Union Legislation in order for you to receive funds yes but they didnt become a government because there was saying these things now they are apologizing they came into power promising part of that is outside all these obligations and they succumbed so they accepted everything now theyre fighting against. So this is a big lie but you cannot trick the greek people show by mensa suppressor denies telling any lies just very quickly on the procedural elements of keno which may i understand hold the balance of power in any coalition is that just another party which is equally near liberal or does it have anything progressive about it in your eyes they are trying they are trying to. Practically theyre struggling with sid is that who is going to be their leader in the socalled are going down and social democrats European Union of parties they started as socalled lefts and now theyre leaning towards being social democrats and try to get something from the old that now is called can not well also grimly ironic arguably is that next week whoever wins the election may have to speak to Christine Legarde not in a position as the boss of the i. M. F. But as the boss of the European Central bank what do you make of a change of positions i think that no she has a lot of things to try with like the bags it and lots of people theyre very happy that they dont have a greg who gives a damn about the European Union as it and the to be with so much lack of democracy and that turning out to be a union of money who else and not a union of the people of europe for those watching you may think that the idea of a great city is impossible just take us through some history because i understand that unlike most of the rest of the world greek mortality rates jumped nearly 20 percent after the austerity after the Bank Bailouts deaths from cancer neonatal sepsis a hiv cirrhosis and of course youth Unemployment Rate rose to 58. 00. Cent what happened in those years argument is Getting Better the head of this election however weve got a very rich country very rich country weve got very educated and very skilled working class people but still we dont have a penny and the majority of the population is struggling to feel and experience the 1st 20 years of the 21st century has been a hell here of course mr tsipras came under fire for doing a deal with the communist party of china over the poor player in athens of prayers you are talking about turkey and turkey is in trouble with nato actually over receiving Russian Defense systems is it about time greece starts to realign more than with the brics countries rather than fighting into nice sign mediterranean trade wars or geopolitical war look its not permitted that any in case its an imperialistic case its a power game over the Mediterranean Sea if you want my person a journalist then political appearing in its like the whole area around the middle east in the middle that any standing back about a 100 years look what happened in libya where democracy was exported its cutting 3 but the flow of oil goes to the same pockets and to the same Companies Look what happened in iraq they claim there was a war there are tied any there what happened there in fairness to series and its been a horrific week in the mediterranean with so many drowning seeking asylum as you say after the major war on libya series i did not support bombing of syria do you think that if new democracy when with the coalitions they would canel. Greece in future will be more in line with nato adventurism as its been called as regards wars in the middle east i dont put any hope in these 2 parties not any hope at all because they know its practically ruling that country. There are no want because were in a part of this European Union so grass is ruling my country whether you like it go north this is ringback the truth they bomb but they produce refugees and then they give us some money to face the humanitarian problem here there is no money at all can you absorb or these refugees year when you are part of the nato forces in the utopian forces the use of f.

Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. Welcome back despite attempts from the Israeli Government and u. K. Lobbying group the u. K. Lawyers very israel europes largest exhibition of palestine half an expert opens today in london joining me now is one of the events top speakers arab knesset member countries have japery in thank you for what years of coming here but the u. K. Backed Israeli Government theyve been trying to prevent you from speaking today at the palestine expert has a Terror Organization front of your pair well my group was funded boy appropriate groups. My stance is all a very clear supporting peace. For the ongoing conflict in the middle east through establishing a palestinian state alongside israel almighty in 6 or 7 borders this is the blood for that has been adopted by the International Community supported by International Law and i think that the minimum that they could do to support such a solution is to come here to more than an exhibit smadi if you was of this unfortunately that there has been these attempts by israeli ministers that the to allow more year participation here with you know all these accusations as if that was funded by year in terrorist a group the fact is that the israeli current government is trying to believe in any serious discussion about to be a full solution is a trying to prevent anybody anybody in or like me who could be influential on the critiquing the Israeli Government or both its continued in a very dangerous policy of expanding settlements built beach with the occupation and the basically opposition the Palestinian People and basically trying to end any real chance for a peaceful solution in our area these really government obviously claim they are the only democracy in the middle east despite all the violations as you say of the u. N. Resolutions and you are an m. P. In the knesset you are proof that israel is the only democracy in the middle east. I think that i do the opposite with speak in the knesset on behalf of my community and bode behalf for fair and democratic jewish forces are you voice the you know the. The political a platform that goes against the Israeli Government you know oakeshott a platform so what they do i express my year my views. I critique the Israeli Government policies i critique the antidemocratic law or i could take the annexation laws i could take the ongoing opposition of my people and its very important to tell me what im elected by my supporters are you my of course which was see i also represent their cause in the International Arena and their traditional forms International Media like this interview so for me through being elected by my constituency i have basically the possibility of representing you know the cause of my community of my people so its exactly the opposite i think that they will always be happy not to have me in the knesset and that theyll have my political activity whether it is well in the occupied palestinian territories or internationally what about this that is the deal of the century i understand youve been comparing it to the hated british Balfour Declaration do you think past thinking just be paid off and the israelis can illegally fully take the Golan Heights in syria and take palestinians land and you get you know the Current Coalition between you know trauma administration and that you know is the is a dangerous corporation and the its a clearly that the american the administration supportive of basically the lawyer that they make policy in there and as well what the socalled beauty of the century is actually a disaster of the century the law is the basic law. Of palestinians and if you deny the basic quote philistine is if you cannot achieve any peace and do your hair which witting basically the conflict in our area so so so the cannot be any other real deal without recognizing the historical rights of the placenta as they see it or recognized by International Community article as by International Law other thing not any oh if he believes that by killing the support of the americas he could continue and go against international willingness and they get the basic right of palestinians here will very small realize its a follow city and this cannot work no people. The 1st thing the palestinians could accept being the occupation and the opposition for too long its about time for the who did the work up to walk seriously together to you the basic or the philistines for the along side as well to use of jabbering thank you well also in london as well as past an expo over a 1000000 people are expected to take to the streets today to celebrate pride a week after the 50th anniversary of new yorks stonewall uprising and the 35th anniversary of the formation of theres been gays support the miners but can the lessons from those pioneering campaigns be applied to you plus Movement Today joining me now to discuss it as well as what pride means to her is activist and britains 1st out muslim drag queen as evil or as evil welcome to going underground so its pride day to day parade 2019 presumably doesnt mean Barclays Bank you know i was on sponsorship to you when you go out there on Trafalgar Square as plinth tell me about what it means to you what it means to me is basically representing every color in the rainbow myself obviously being britains 1st out muslim track queen being from a Minority Ethnic Community and also from a religious background for me its basically about saying look pride is for everybody wherever you are from what have you believe and sort of promoting that tolerance and acceptance everywhere promoting thats a precisely the words in the legislation of clause 28. 00 which hung over this country between 88. 20 or 3 compared often compared to the legislation in russia currently against the promotion of ale g. B. T. Q rights was your experience under law i have to say supported by our outgoing Prime Minister to resume at the time well i was of his children at the time a section 28 i was heavily bullied at secondary school for being a feminists it was for bullying that actually i learned the word gay and i thought that i was gay from. Many many years. Until i realize actually i was a trans woman and i transitioned many years later it really affected sort of my early relationship affected the way i thought about the world and it affected my personal identity will actually you were transitioning what room is the teleology bt q. Because its 50 years from stonewall people may not even realize drag queens revolved in that struggle for human rights do you think this is really degree to which its all says gendered gay men that have been seem to be the heroes rather than the people that dress like this of course i mean at the end of the day people tend to forget that it was a trans woman of color martha p. Johnson that actually threw the 1st stone and she started the stonewall riots i think things tend to be white washed they tend to be pink washed a lot as well within the o. G. T. T. Community and you know the reality is that its not all fairies its all not rainbow colors everywhere there are parts of the community especially in london that face a lot of race face a lot of islamophobia within the older beauty communities and at the same time face off transphobia from their communities their religious communities and ethnic minorities that they come from is there a plus identity that is across all of this because you were religious identities obviously people of color a did that is is easier to come out today if you have more money than if youre poor of course i do believe in part postcollege lotteries however are not of the notion that for example if your systems are white its easier because there are parts of the u. K. Vro u. K. Where you know hate crime is going up if you think that is going to skew some bills that is the fear that austerity has catalyzed ways was he growing up i think hate crime is going up because. Of austerity because of the braggs it paralysis that were in i feel that you know in posts briggss britain people have given themselves the permission to criticize to bully to vocalize their hate to anything that they deem the other u. K. But black approaches do more what do you make of the. The home office so they will want the people who did with the horse to the wind. Promoting a beauty rhodes kudos to you cable out pride for doing that i mean. You know as a person of british pakistani faith i am aware of you know pakistani Asylum Seekers for example that come to my clubs that come to my shows that have to go through hurrying experiences of claiming asylum in the u. K. I mean having to prove that their eligibility you know the home office believe that if youre outgoing partying pink t. Shirt gay boy then you must be gay but if youre a gay boy that has a beard that you know doesnt speak english very well that identifies as a muslim then you cant you not gain enough to live in the u. K. They can be deported exactly they can be deported to countries especially you know my home country my Heritage Country of pakistan where you know its illegal to be lesbian gay and bisexual however it is legal to be transgender. Now. The 3rd gender law and india the 3rd of the British Colonial sections reasons of yes so a lot of the laws in south asia that you know criminalize homosexuality are from the colonial era and pakistan last year. Put forward protection right of bills for their Transgender Community and indeed decriminalized homosexuality last year after recruitment rising in 5 years before. More so its slow progress im not saying that homophobia in transphobia doesnt exist in south asia it definitely does however definitely things are improving and i feel that the asian continent gets the t. Much better than europe. Are going to really push with the way it work and close because. The is the 35th anniversary of lesbians and gays support the miners why do you think people dont know more about the fact that. We also have been that the spearheading anticapitalist movements which after all stonewall was part of all the history well again where very good at forgetting our history which is why you know parts of law and parts of history that have have affected me for example section 20 affected me i badger on about it because the moment we forget our history we forget where we come from we forget what our fight is and just as quickly as the laws are given they can be taken away just as quickly and just finally i got to ask them if anyone watching this is going through trauma over their identity with the elder g. The brave the t. The q what advice would you give to them if theyre facing struggles in family a little in their communities what i would say to somebody whos going through struggles right now is dont be afraid to reach out you might feel like youre the only one there were times when i felt like i was the only one sometimes i even still feel like im the only one now but theres a whole community out there waiting to support you how did you do it i reached out to my University Tutor who basically put me in touch with l. G. Beauty charities in london and i met other l. G. B. To muslims for the 1st time and i realised i wasnt the only gay muslim in the country and your family now my family now are super supportive after many years of not understanding my journey of not supporting me. They are really out there being visible being really supportive i mean i do want to say that look today is pride in london day i am hosting the mainstays live in Trafalgar Square lets just all celebrates lets put all our differences aside and just celebrate and how far weve come see for laura thank you thats of the show will be back on monday to tackle greenwashing also being a Prince Charles advisor Jonathan Porritt whether people should boycott Londons British MuseumNational Gallery the National Portrait gallery until then he does well socially to see them.
