How many russian assassinations on uk the chief rabbis attack came on the day the labour leader released a race and faith manifesto soil have you investigated . My and in a new interview with the Bbcs Andrew Neill, colleagues and i have spent years Jeremy Corbyn was grilled investigating and we have uncovered on his position. Evidence connecting 14 deaths on british soil to the russian state, wouldnt you like to take this opportunity, tonight, not including the death of alexander to apologise to the britishjewish litvinenko, the famous fsb defector, community for whats happened . What ill say is this he was poisoned with polonium. It i am determined that our society will be safer for people was such a brazen nuclear attack, there was no way they could brush of all faiths. That under the rug but we had 14 cases where there was clear evidence i dont want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society linking these deaths to russia and and our government will protect every community against. In each case, the british so no apology . Authorities shutdown every. Against the abuse they receive on the streets, on the trains or. Investigation. Is that because there so no apology for how was deniability . Im thinking in terms of scott young, who was youve handled this . Supposed to have jumped terms of scott young, who was. In any other form of life. Supposed to havejumped out terms of scott young, who was supposed to have jumped out of his marylebone flat and impaled himself ill try one more time, no apology . On his railings below. That was no, hang on a minute, andrew. Can i explain what were trying to do . Treated as suicide. Is it cases like you have and youve been given plenty of time to do it. That, where there is deniability, i asked you if you wanted to apologise. That, where there is deniability, andrew, i dont want that authorities think they can anyone to go through brush that under the carpet . what anyone has gone through. And youve said that several times. That authorities think they can brush that under the carpet . I think thats exactly right. Thats a i understand that, mr corbyn. I was asking you about an apology. Really good case in point. Scott lord Charlie Falconer young was in multi million ethics was the former lord chancellor, for a whole network of wealthy he remains a Senior Member of the labour party and had been due russians who had fled vladimir to lead their review into anti semetism. Putins russia and had pitched in he stepped back when the equality the uk where they were stashing huge and Human Rights Commission said it amounts of money in banks and real would be running its own investigation he gave his reaction state. Hisjob was to the chief rabbis amounts of money in banks and real state. His job was to help them dodge various Money Laundering statement, to bbc radio. Cheques that may have impeded their he deserved an attack that strong. Ability to spend that money in we need to deal with britain. He spent years before his anti semitism properly. Death Morning Police and his family we are not dealing with and friends that he believed he was the cases within the party. Being targeted by a team of russian still . Still not. Hit men and believed his life was endangered but when he plunged to there are 130 cases that his death from the fourth floor of have been referred from the National Executive committee his death from the fourth floor of his london town house, the cops did not stop to investigate for a moment of the labour party, but immediately treated it as a which is the senior body suicide. They did not dust for to the National Constitution committee, which is the body fingerprints or talk to witnesses or that deals with serious disciplinary cases. Gather cctv. They shut the case there are 130 cases of anti semitism that have been pending, straightaway. That is part of the some of them for years. Failure that you see on uk authorities side. 0ne joining us failure that you see on uk authorities side. One of the things now from westminster is our political correspondent, that jumped out to authorities side. One of the things thatjumped out to me from your book was that you talk a lot about nick eardly. Nick, an astonishing statement from factories outside of moscow and the research that has gone into it. The chief rabbi. The timing, what thats right, one of the things impact it is having in westminster . Making it difficult for western authorities to get to grips with the look, it is clearly something the labour party dont want to be talking about, at least not at this authorities to get to grips with the author phenomenon is that the russian government has poured unimaginable resources into the stage of a general Election Development of a whole arsenal of campaign. Mrcorbin stage of a general Election Campaign. Mr corbin was launching chemical and biological weapons that race and faith manifesto today, which are designed to kill without leaving a trace. Theyve established there a lab outside of moscow where which is insane look we are going to scientists are devoting their lives create a Better Society for all to developing poisons which can faiths. This is a scathing attack trigger fast acting cancers or from the chief rabbi which really cardiac arrests, they have a whole range of ways in which they can make targets the labour leadership. It is a death like natural or a suicide. Not talking about the membership but it is saying there is a poison that 0n has taken a death like natural or a suicide. On your twitter feed you point to a it is saying there is a poison that has ta ken hold it is saying there is a poison that has taken hold in the party which line in the conservative party appears to have been sanctioned from ma nifesto. The top and for the labour line in the conservative party manifesto. I want to bring that up. Leadership at this stage of the it says that we will stand up to general Election Campaign that is really a terrible state of Affairs Foreign companies that threaten the to be in. You will hear mr corbyn stability in europe or commit state sanctioned murder on british soil. 0n sanctioned murder on british soil. On your sanctioned murder on british soil. 0n yourfeed, sanctioned murder on british soil. On your feed, you are saying that is a bold claim from a government who say time and time again that he have swept things under the carpet . Deplores anti semitism but it is also worth remembering that this is that is right, the conservative an issue that has been going on for government has, under successive the last three years. It is not a leaders, swept evidence of russian new one. It is something we have led killings under the rug. They heard before. Clearly there are many resisted calls for years into a in the Jewish Community who just dont think that 22 and the labour public enquiry into alexander leadership often enough. Im litvinenko. Is there some of this in the russian report that was not released . None of us know what is in the russian report because the impressed on andrew neil you did not government is sitting on it. Its see him come forward with an the latest in a long line of apology. Asked repeatedly if you government cover ups. Whenever there wanted to apologise on that is this all connections to the interview that airs in about half an deaths we have investigated, the hour he didnt take that government has a range of ways to opportunity. There are many labour mps who have sorry, former labour gain secrecy orders to make sure that none of the evidence becomes public. Part of the challenge for mps who have sorry, former labour mps who have taken social media those, when there are efforts to try saying they want to see an apology. And protect potential targets, there i think there is a feeling within have been challenges because the some wings of the labour party that subjects themselves are not away is the leader hasnt gone far enough today. Nick, thank you very much for cooperating. Specifically im that. Thinking about Boris Berezovsky . Joining me now is senior rabbi Laura Janner Klausner who is the senior rabbi of reform judaism, the uks second that is right. Some of the largestjewish group whose father and grandfather were labour mps and labour lords. Activities of his and what he was and you are a member trying to keep safe is of the labour party. Extraordinary. We were speaking to members of his protection team, to so you have very good credentials monitor threats to his life while he when it comes to talking about labour. I want to come back to a lived here. In the years leading up to his death in 2013. He was found statement from the chief rabbi. He says that within the Jewish Community there is anxiety. What hanging in his bathroom . In does he mean by anxiety . How do you suspicious circumstances. The police see that anxiety . I see anxiety is a had to deal with the fact they had a mix of the past of the present. What viagra related has happened in the past and how does it reflect on the present. Had to deal with the fact they had a viagra related substitute had to deal with the fact they had a viagra related substitute brought in from russia. There were all of anxiety stops you doing something bad, stops you tripping up and says these things that the cops were ta ke bad, stops you tripping up and says take care. So you look at the facts warning him exposed him to a risk of oii take care. So you look at the facts on the table, you look at a person poisoning and honey traps. In that interviewed half an hour ago who case, there was an assassin who came wouldnt apologise. The labour in, you document this story really well. They tale him around london leaderJeremy Corbyn who was in a and pick him up but then they send Television Debate last week who lied and said that the cases have been him back to russia. There is a feeling from how you write it that dealt with. And you have lord they were assets in moscow. Mi6 faulkner saying the opposite. This makes you anxious because you are assets in moscow, and they might have been protected. Maybe they were fearful, what is this like forjews . Also protecting these fragile what is this like for muslims or diplomatic ties between the two anyone else who is other. This is countries . What im saying is not about jews at all. This is about overlaying all of this is something that we do not understand . Thats the integrity and dignity of the the balancing act the british cove na nt have leader of the labour party and he the balancing act the british covenant have been trying to strike. They want to welcome these wealthy doesnt have those. But then to say as the chief rabbi and as the muslim russians into london, and they council of britain have done, vote havent wanted to antagonise the with your conscience. Maybe in your kremlin where assassins have come after russian state enemies on case i think for the liberal british soil. For many reasons, some democrats. The Muslim Council of of which is about protecting russian britain is saying vote labour. They investment in britain and trying to are ina britain is saying vote labour. They are in a way directing the vote. Are build a Strategic Alliance with you comfortable with that . russia. Summer fete is about the are in a way directing the vote. Are you comfortable with that . I thought you comfortable with that . I thought you have to be very careful with fa ct russia. Summer fete is about the fact that trying to make some of power, which is what underlies all these cases sticking in court, they of this. And i wouldnt want to tell somebody who to vote for or who not are trained together evidence from to vote for. I think we have an sensitive sources in moscow that imperative to vote and i know that they do not want to play and that is there has been a massive spike in they do not want to play and that is people now registering, which is the problem they face. Its extraordinary and fascinating work. Wonderful. But religion and politics have always gone together because this story is one that many people politics is about the fabric of wa nt to this story is one that many people want to pick up for christmas. Thank society and how we want to impact on you. Society. Religion is about the in recent weeks, weve been reportng fabric of society and how we impact. On the the mass protests that have broken out in countries from lebanon so been involved in a narrative around the country and who is to spain to chile and bolivia. Leading and what we are saying, that if you were watching the news 30 years ago it would have been a similar picture has always been the religious own. Following the fall of the berlin wall. Who specifically, he said i will in czechoslovakia it sparked mass popular pro democracy protests not tell you to vote for, and i leading to the velvet revolution and the peaceful transition of power think that is great. 0k. From communism to democracy. Our World Affairs editorjohn not tell you to vote for, and i think that is great. Ok. But i was simpson covered the events in 1989 not saying here somehow, vote with and has returned to prague to speak your conscious, you see the moral imperative crashing against to some of its leading figures. Electoral choices. He is not saying nowadays, prague is what to vote for, that is the relaxed, beautiful, and jam packed with tourists. Reality. I think one of the moral imperatives here is for the leaders of the parties to long term look at what is happening about racism youve got to be 50 or more across the board and also homophobia and other issues, xenophobia, and to remember how repressed and poverty stricken it was under communism. And, how brutal. See that they will always be held to a small group of intellectuals, account for it. Do you think, i headed by the world famous playwright vaclav havel had kept up their resistance ever since the russian invasion of 1968. They had been spied on, mean, i guess my question is there beaten up and jailed for years. But by 1989, things were changing. Are going to be those who say right, a new generation came out i will vote for lib dems to try and onto the streets to support them. People who didnt remember 1968. Avoid what is clearly concerns about racism or religious intolerance. There a danger that it splits the vote and hands victory to a party monika pajerova was one that perhaps was not the intention . Of the student leaders. Nowadays, she teaches students 0ne that perhaps was not the intention . One of the wonderful things about herself, and she still remembers how the british system is the amazed she was 30 years ago to see constituency system. And i would say how many people had turned out to demonstrate. Look at yourmp, constituency system. And i would say look at your mp, there are lots of fabulous labour mps that i would love to be re elected. So from the point of view of strategic voting, i was the first speaker. I could not believe it. Conservative, lib dems, labour, that i saw thousands
