A rally at the house of commons about the massacre the anniversary of which is on the 17th of march just to explain with a massacre was because obviously that was a time when the United States and britain supported Saddam Husseins yes well let me add to the arctic submission i was so pleased and delighted that this art exhibit and coincide with. To mull towards events in march 1 of them that shoot just mentioned an uprising include some region the Kurdish People in. Region swift the regime the boss regime and the Iraqi Military in within the region territory we stood for freedom and democracy and a prize in itself and could some preachin was a response to the years of denial under pressure. And under the dictatorship in iraq some viewers may not even realize that the british and the United States supported Saddam Hussein just tell me about the how dramatic and just very briefly to remind our viewers what it was and 988 percent gassed the city of 5000. 00 civilian. People young people children were killed in an blink of ali and 10000 were in jet. And affected by this poison gas and still. Thats caused a long tim illness for the people in a weapons sent by the americans when they sold Saddam Hussein i know this is all history now of course but as regards justice presumably goodish community have never seen justice with their people because of the. Aftermath of the hill a well the chemical hasnt been sent by any particular country so dumb san and its regime had capability of producing Chemical Material in iraq and they had this chemical weapon in and in iraq who he his own you know have called your relations with the British Foreign office and i repeat that through the goods. We surprise of the 1st big major foreign visit with of only grab the foreign secretary was due to shake hands with mr herder one well this International Relations i mean every country try to the maximum to maintain Good Relationships with International Community and. Its worth mention that in 1991. Britain at the time said john major and its government initiated the north fly zone include a sound region to protect the could from Saddam Hussein and its military to attend back at an attack because the people and at that time we started to establish a Democratic Institution we had the feste democratic election in 199092 when we elected parliament and then on government in incurred some breach and so since then. Couldnt stand become. A region of imagine democracy within this very. Very surprised about the fact that you mentioned that give him half a 1000000 children reputedly were killed by the sanctions by western governments only iraq during the drum major government. Youre saying the new flies are which is obviously a precursor to the all out invasion of iraq. Looking back you see that was a good thing the reason im asking of course is in recent years because of the Kurdish Community has aligned themselves very strongly with washington in syria well of course it was a very good thing because saddam pulled off a 1000000 children dying because of u. N. Sanctions supported there was a sanction on iraq as a whole and there was to sanction on kind of stamp region at the time one International Sanction and 2nd sanction on could Somebody Just because he couldnt some region where not longer under the general direction or control of that dictatorship since 1900 want but there was also a program in oil for food oil for food so the International Community or the United Nations are you know theres a make sure that about this that are shown in the hundreds of thousands of children died on this program the reason of the relevance today obviously is that the Kurdish Community have become deeply involved in the proxy war in syria britain of course bombed syria what side of the good zone of the media historic mistake by aligning themselves with washington in syria given the president assad of syria now saying we wont even talk to the Kurdish Community in syria until they stop being the tool of outside proxies well so very complex situation in. In the area especially in syria the major powers conflict. In that region made there this conflict the high representative in london and the kurds aligned themselves according to us and according to putin according to rouhani you guys allied with the cia you know thats not true statement. Presenting couldnt some region of iraq not present in there the kurds in syria or could see in. In turkey and or quoted in iran. We maintain a very Good Relationship with the United States of america and other countries as well they were there for us at the time of need United States helped could have some region throughout that. Conflict and. Without the support of International Community we wouldnt be able to model these victories and specially juden the isis war to you fine with the United States. Support for Kurdish Groups in Northern Syria and elsewhere and your final Donald Trumps announcement that oversee was rejoicing Financial Support for Kurdish Groups in Northern Syria we were disappointed by that decision to withdraw all of the sudden from syria and leave. The Kurdish Group what do you think president assad thinks of that result on fact they didnt leave they were still there and they still consider the Kurdish People in syria as their credible partner and the statement is always that they have accomplished. Chop to your position as representative here in london is that the United States has a rule to play in syria which of course is completely rejected by president assad in damascus the situation is really complex. United states is there. And syria some of the country are there. And sometimes colliding interests between these major powers made the situation even worse than arguably israel other criticism of Kurdish Groups across the whole spectrum for their different positions what is your position for instance on the assassination by dont trumps forces of customs away money the arabian general because as far as i understand it london has never condemned this isolation well we were really concerned about these 2 ation because we want to maintain a Good Relationship with everyone. And we dont want iraq to become a battlefield for these major powers to settle their differences on iraqi soil so at the beginning when the incident happened we. We try to play a role in the escalating the situation in surprise along to condemn these as a nation london had their view on that incident and they made the statement of the incident and you should ask the government of britain about this question i represent the fact here thanks so much for having me and i dont know if i can shake hands because we have to prevent ourselves from this crown of fire actually now you mention coronavirus what is the extent of coronavirus in iraq well this epidemic its affecting the entire wall that we took. All measures to claw. As down old borders with iran and the very beginning limiting their flight in and out. Into could the stagnant out of kurdistan region weve been educating the people or the population could sound region to avoid themselves from gathering in and this washington and that everyone talking about it. We have 16 cases we have one dead who had a underlining condition and thats why ive been very become very. Unaffected we have a cut on teen and places which we hold 2000 people at the moment 800 of them written to their families on home and i think weve been taken tough measures in kurdistan region to stop the spread of this virus across some preachin corridors and thank you thank you so much coffee to me and the exhibition here actually d.

Iraq and she was at. The heart. Surgeon. And. Now our have been. Continuing struggle for the past 30 years and we have been finding for her assassination the only thing that the real murderer. The playing behind. The merger and actually in our goal we didnt take that well of not on the not prosecuted he was not punished and it just goes to show that the u. S. Has not and will continue to foster and stand fundamentalist crim that the kind of. The taliban are the brother of. God and then take back yards and the u. S. Is going to continue to create and nurture terrorist organizations obviously britain in the United States now denies its helping any terrorist they do acknowledge they help those that were linked to those that planned 911. 00. For 20 years of by bombing your country they have actually been reading it of islam is why is it 2021000 years later. Around our representative doesnt feel safe showing your face. Dropped 7423 bombs on your country just in 2019. The war in afghanistan. This war was never against terrorists it was again the total of those that are not and i repeat not on the payroll of the cia and the us the terrorists that. Are going against the us. And cia but other than that the us never had a war with. Troops because they create it. And the terrorist groups have you know how do you read and alabama claim to be. Citing the us forces on the time that and you can see the casualties and there are so many innocent civilians dying every day in them and they are not part of the. Us military the only terms in this scenario are to people and especially women can stop of course we dont know the numbers of afghan women or men who have died or been displaced or wounded thousands of british soldiers have been. Killed or wounded in this conflict the Vice President afghanistans National Assembly a 1000 koofi welcome the International Criminal court announcement it will it will investigate u. K. U. S. War crimes in afghanistan do you think the women of afghanistan will get some kind of justice if war crimes are investigated the i. C. C. War crimes the factor by u. K. And u. S. Soldiers did you have committed cancer. One cancer that. Have been involved in mass killings ready and had abused and tortured people in that same. I mean any business just a fraction of the of the reports that have been. Media. We can be videos i mean there are the kinds of documents that distract the crimes of us which according to. Their own. Words. To give a picture and the frank definitely need to be investigated and the perpetrators need to be present persecuted according to the un special rapporteur on torture you mention wiki leaks Julian Assange is currently being tortured according to un repertoire in london at the moment i just want to quickly ask you. If britain and the United States havent started bombing your country in 2001 do you think things would have been better. I think if the us and britain hadnt bombed. Had the chance and been going 20 years further from 2980 if they hadnt created the fundamentalist monsters which are the Northern Alliance which are in the government today which is the taliban government today and even recent creation much of that that were exported. From syria if they had not created these monsters then. Given itll have been better off without them and without their direct occupation certainly this is something we only think we believe the end. So i think any of it is a put down. Its a dependable song. And then. Theyre lucky some equally agents fundamentalists and the others who are part of the government today thank you well there was little talk of u. K. Spending on wars around the world at this weeks budget statement with fewer than 4 weeks in the job former Goldman Sachs banker in the u. K. Chancellor rhee she sort of can build plans on wednesday for multibillion dollar government borrowing to fight couvade 19 but given 2 years of what the u. N. Has called cruel and inhuman u. K. Austerity can the money make any difference going on the ground social media producer fine im going to caught up with conservative m. P. And former scotland secretary David Mendell outside parliament to ask him about the budget i think so far the government has made a good job of dealing with this crisis a very very difficult situation very focused on following the medical advice and the chancellor has made very clear that he will make whatever resources are necessary available to the n. H. S. To allow them to deal with the coronavirus as it emerges in the u. K. But at the point where any chance resources are stretched rather than they are at this moment then Additional Resources will be available. Barbara songs on the government side of the and i just as part of a survey that was done on the n. H. S. Doctors over 99 percent said that i just wasnt prepared so as the all of the measures theyve been outlined on limited spending for the n. H. S. If its necessary to count the damage beyond done i think their excess is actually in pretty good shape obviously theres always more. That can be done theres always more resources that are sought but this government has demonstrated by over a period of conservative rule a commitment to funding the n. H. S. Beyond in fact any other Political Party here in the u. K. Had committed to. So i think that we have to just focus on the 2 elements of coronavirus at the moment which is one you know managing the outbreak here in the u. K. To ensuring that the n. H. S. Has the resources to deal with it and of course the chancellor also set out a very significant package of measures to help those people who wont be able to go to walk during the fall as a part of the outbreak and also to help businesses get through a very difficult time and money of. Such jobs resignation dot dominant commons was sunshiny the puppetmaster behind the new chancellor regime tonight has the have those allegations been disproven i think rashid i said his organ budget i think he demonstrated he was a his own mind he had a number of innovative measures that hadnt been speculated on how i thought he delivered the budget in a very Common Authority if to where you know ive seen many budget say over the years and there was absolutely nothing to suggest that he wasnt up to the job of being the chancellor and was actually doing what he thought was best for this country and maybe want some maybe on the right of the consumptive policy might be saying is that because of the policies been dragged to the left by the labor policies today we saw massive skeins reinstalls spending pledges norrington National Debt so theres a consultative policy to consolidate its position after the election with especially with the support of the north is a conservative policy now moving from the left i think obviously a degree of of the spending commitments are directly related to coronavirus and they are. Measures of the need to be taken to ensure that our economy can get through this difficult period but with Interest Rates as low as they are at the moment i think there is an argument to have loosened. The a boring constraints take forward some of these major Infrastructure Projects they wear out of the role things that were in our manifesto when we were elected in december and i think whats obvious is that the chancellor wants as he said to get as many of our election pledges done now that all the coronavirus measures have been outlined by the chancellor such as the spending pledges eccentrics outre. If the u. K. Has to impose the measures that say its only say china have imposed restrictions on travel is a 30000000000 pound Recovery Fund really an Office Similar package for the economy i think the chancellor is very clear that you know this is a fluid situation and the may be other measures required of me you know this package might not a in itself be sufficient and he will keep that. Review i think it brings a great deal of saturday particularly for businesses because the people are self employed just how do the how the system is going to walk and i think that that is helpful in the short attempt but you know we dont want to get in a situation like italy its unlikely that the sort of measures that were taken in china would be able to fully take place here well have to deal with this situation in a way that suits our own country and. The way that divide us develops and the chance i made very clear hes flexible on that but hes me you know hes put down his initial position and i think that will be very very helpful for those people who face korean sente at the moment and just finally of course so you want to propose as a 14200000. 00 people in poverty 4000000. 00 children poverty is the chancellor of tax cut that he calls that hiking of the National Insurance threshold that saves the average of the average walk a 104. 00 pounds without on the timing pounds a month is not really enough to solve. The very. Big. Increase in minimum. Wage i mean. Out of. Government. People. Taking as many people as we could. Make. People. Creating. And having. Social media pretty. President ial candidates. Every week. Student. Money. Good food descriptions sound up even for the owners so how to choose the pet Food Industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they catch allergies we are actually creating these problems its a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats to larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because theyre already making it a 1000000000. 00 on it and theres no reason to do that research. Today instead of a story. Were going to. Have the piece here waiting to be reached. Turkish airlines.
