Failed and so in a way this is now what we see with corona and the way the americans are dealing with it and increasing the sanctions is of course you know emphasizing that point and driving it home for many of the people whom i had previously have not realized who they really are dealing with people way hearing here is that iran expelled meds on home front his 9 member team with their medicine and them off trying to help your country what i know is that basically the iranians have asked the Global Community that theyve published a list of medical equipment and medicines that they need all the money that would be needed to pay for it nobodys asking for handouts is currently in japanese korean and banks in luxembourg but of course its all being blocked by the u. S. So thats what iran needs iran doesnt need a bunch of old french guys coming in and setting up 4040 beds we ask the. Hospital capacity of iran is still not use we have a vast. Medical network the military the army and the revolutionary guards have set up field hospitals around the country so we dont need beds we dont need doctors we have the best doctors in the world in iran what we need is this list that the government the Foreign Ministry has published of equipment and also we need governments to have the moral courage to stand up to the us and allow us to pay them good hard cash for the equipment that we. To take care of our people but do you think that say what Ayatollah Khomeini said when he raised the issue of the usa creating coronavirus should be understood in the context of a historical use of bio warfare by the United States well you know absolutely i mean and lets not forget its not only the leader who sang the news its also the chinese have raise this issue that nobody knows obviously i dont know you dont know none of us know what the reality of that is but would we be surprised if we look at history if we look at the americans on the country to use atomic weapons only country to using agent orange in vietnam using depleted uranium in iraq only country refusing to sign the chemical weapons ban and insisting on its right to use chemical weapons the only country in the world if you want to go way back you can look at you know what they did with the smallpox and the native americans and the different experiments that they had on africanamericans because all it im talking about did the experiment on africanamericans this isnt in the 20th century this is not like ancient history so if one day if history one day shows us or it comes out that the americans had you know mr round with with these coronaviruses and it got out of hand hey nobody would be surprised if that was the case ok but the New York Times is reporting the pentagon has now ordered military commanders to plan for us as kill ation against iraq hearing in Coalition Troops in iraq obviously the United States assassinated the iranian general caught some silly money iran responded by mistakenly shooting down a passenger jet how can iran be sure that its intercontinental missiles can even be capable of retaliation against any imminent u. S. Donald trump attack on the Islamic Republic of of course that was tragic what happened with that with the plane and obviously at that time you know and any Defense System in the world could have made that mistake obviously the other thing that the iranians that they blew up the in the last at base and other. Base is an area so lets not you know if forget that part of the iranian answer to what happened at that time and obviously you know i think anybody who knows the history of americas involvement in iraq know that the best thing for america would be just to get out as soon as possible because the only thing thats going to happen for the americans are going to lose if they can choose to do it sooner or later to do it later with more soldiers being lost thats really all it is and nobodys really losing sleep about that here in iraq and just finally and briefly what do you think we should make of the u. S. U. K. Back to saudi air strikes joining this pandemic on the worlds worst humanitarian crisis in yemen we need to really explain the evilness of what theyre doing and theyve been doing it for 6 years now we have to really get into it do we have to explain to to elites in europe and in and in america what their governments are doing and how evil it is i think its anybody who has any bit of conscience and has a little bit of humanity left in them knows that this is you know the purest form of people who have asked the has had the ambassador to london on the program for exam editor robert thank you well health here in britain still involved in overseas was the Mainstream Media that not long ago criticize doctors for going on strike is suddenly hailing them as heroes but what about the least well paid now risking their lives to save britain from coronavirus joining me via skype from london is petrus aliya cofounder of united voices of the world thank you so much petrus for coming on the reports in the papers here the doctors and nurses are being gagged for talking about the shortage of protective equipment here in the u. S. A g. Work is actually going on strike because they want to build ventilators what about your members when it comes to protective equipment as as your members sacrifice there are health arguably to save us 1st is absolutely scandalous that anybody should be. Speaking the truth about the governments failure to provide appropriate personal protective equipment to docs and nurses another for the n. H. S. Workers. And i would call an old noise in trade unions out there to stand up and bring any legal challenge a kind against an attempt to guide them for that that is also obviously the sky and that of not having been provided with the p. P. In the 1st place on members on the front line in the n. H. S. Cleaning portering and catering and they are provided with p. P. Either they have very flimsy mosques very flimsy overrules totally inadequate and a lot of them are getting really sick a lot of them a contract ignace virus i know unfortunately many of them in some areas hospital still dont get proper sick pay and so they simply cant afford to stay at home which is what they should be doing and instead they are risking not only their health but that of other people well math and called has been taken ill by coronavirus the Health Secretary says there are going to be mosques Martha Johnson who has coronavirus says there are going to be mosques and protective equipment telling about per se a cleaner sacked allegedly for observing social distancing a member of her Union Employees all over the country really showing their true colors colors in the face of this crisis so we see wetherspoons you know it made the sex 40000 stuff on the back of the court a virus not knock down but you also get cases like percys hes a cleaner at Kings College a very prestigious very wealthy university and he was called into a disciplinary hearing. That disciplinary hearing was going to have 8 people in a room and its completely contravened Government Social distancing guidelines Public Health england the World Health Organization so percy rightly stayed away for not having and Kings College decided to go ahead in his absence hold that hearing and actually they took the decision to dismiss him now this is left see in the middle of a pandemic in the white heat of a pandemic. Risk of destitution this really speaks to the culture that many low paid workers are having to work in today to complete contempt for. Which employers such as Kings University treat their lowest paid frontline stuff such as piracy well we obviously invite to Kings College london the bosses involved on the show but the whole world now knows its only as safe as the most vulnerable tell me about socalled Migrant Workers people of color disproportionately amongst the those who clean and porter the hospitals now the front lines of the coronavirus are they affecting workers of color more disproportionately just a question about life we just take one example which is imperial trust one of the biggest trusts in the countries which in which Encouraging Companies 5 hospitals including some marries which is the biggest one in paddington in west london. 100 percent of the cane is porters and kate was are all 99 percent of my good workers from dozens of Different Countries around the world know they are there on the front 9 now they bravely went on strike last year and forced the choice to make the n. H. S. Employees and as of the 1st of april they will be n. H. S. Employees which will give them a huge amount of extra protection were calling on the government to ensure that every socalled key worker gets at least 15 pounds an hour as many key workers. As little as 8 pounds 21. 00 to minimum wage will increase but only to 8 pounds 71. 00 no worker gnocchi worker in a time demick deserves less and as you say at least those workers are some of them got recognition as n. H. S. Workers rather than being somehow selfemployed or on 0 hours what do you make of the ex Goldman Sachs banker who is now the finance minister of this country britain is so neck because he said he has been responding with massive help for those employed in this country who have lost have because of coronavirus theres no doubt that its in him is an unprecedented stimulus package he has offered firstly only. 80 percent of workers wages and in order to be eligible for that money your Employer Needs to choose to apply for it the governments got the money the workers should access it directly the other fact is is that this money wont be seen for probably another month and in the meantime people have got to try to find a way to make ends meet which will be extremely difficult for millions of workers so that hasnt been factored into his quote of our stop retention scheme either and the fact of the matter is that there are many workers there are sick they still get statutory sick pay thats 94. 00 pounds and 25. 00 pence per week who can live on that but it wasnt on a go the people were clapping for the National Health service do you think its got through to Boris Johnson that doesnt mean anything on sex workers as mean anything on bus drivers that mean anything on cleaners as you said on porches why do you think that is you think they fundamentally dont understand the class dimension to coronavirus absolutely i dont understand why should i do think they understand outstanding they cant but its johnson did say the other day for the 1st time that he does believe in such a thing as society which was a rebuttal to such as claim that there is no shas thing as a society so that hes defied his messiah maggie thats i dont think bush johnson will change i think that hes his priority is to protect the bosses or protect the bankers still if he really cared about working class communities migrant communities pain communities he would be ensuring that the minimum wage was raised to at least the level of a real living wage he would ensure that every worker out they got proper full pay sick day from day one of illness lot of than the measly statutory sick pay that millions have to try to get by on he would ensure that universal credit was quicker and easier to access and it was at the rate of a living wage he would ensure that the selfemployed the 5000000 selfemployed people out there that have to wait until the end of june to get any of the money that hes promised would be getting it soon not through emergency funds perhaps will go through a bit of an epiphany during his coronavirus recovery but thats unlikely. Thank you we obviously invite the kids of a government representative on the program after the break because the young outliving the old during the pandemic present a demographic time bomb for the centrist poised to replace labor leader jeremy cool bit on saturday all the civil coming up a bunch of going on the ground. There just taking over all the alternative all kotick taking and as i say the stage show that this was called real choices i. E. The binary choice and only choice is if you say youre a variable and most binary thing is not a chance for the states to school to provide a new architecture revive the cold ted and start negotiations with. Israel have been invited to negotiate them by to think about whats being put on the table. In this community there are people who believe that its ok. Its really hard there are no jobs and you see that ive got kids and ask and as a parent. I can come up with lots of arguments theres a lot of conflict in the games between the 2 most of the conflicts i would say revolves around money and most of them money is made. Us one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes 6000000000. 00 a year of prison complexes you get some 20 year life where. You dont care and one of my cares about you so you dont care might anything. Welcome back despite calls for a coronavirus bespoken mint of the election of a new leader for western europes largest socialist movement jeremy corbins labor party and their liberal socalled centrist is poised to win on saturday but does it clear starmer leadership really mean the end of the korban project a new book generation left demolish is the myth of a snowflake generation and suggests not before u. K. Government or by social distancing i caught up with the author Lesley University academic dr kim milburn i began by asking why children no longer voted the same way as their parents generation leftist explains a phenomenon thats emerged over the really of the last 5 years in which a huge generation gap has opened up a political generation gap has opened up young people attend to them up to vote for the left. And also to take on leftwing opinions and older people particularly over 50 fives agenda to vote for the right not always been like them well actually in the 1000 a 3 election the conservatives got more votes among 18 to 30 year olds in it than the labor party so its not always like there is a general postwar trend right that people tend to get more conservative as they get older but thats been interrupted over the last 5 years and one of the one of the strange things is that the so theres some really really quickly. So its not really visibly in the 2010 general election here the conservatives just one point below labor in that in a vote share sort of visible in 2015 but not not very great extent the 2017 general election all of a sudden 70 percent of 18 to 24 year olds vote for labor like 20 percent and conservatives at the end of the scale in the over 60 fives its the same 70 percent voting conservative 20 percent voting for labor and that has persisted really in the in the in the general election 2019 just just in december theres a little bit of a fall often in labor votes all over do you think Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummingss advisor had better be aware that there is a demographic time bomb or of these kids are just going to grow up and then vote tory which is being a pattern thats been observed in previous generations well we dont know but i dont think thats that doesnt seem to be the trend so you know that people get older they dont seem to move move in conservative and in in a in a large part i think thats because you know people have tended to become more conservative for a couple of reasons but one of them is you know they tend to buy houses and have property etc and all the sudden they get a bit more interested in the system you know and that was a deliberate strategy from 130 s. Onwards promote a property owning democracy democracy combats so that the rise of socialism really reader gets accelerated in the 1980 s. When you have to sell off accounts and houses except for exhibitor and down or going to for dividing i mean that just that that homeownership among the under 44 was actually is really really dropped off homeownership in and among the under thirtys in 20 years so people are not buying homes of their you cant buy homes at the same extent so the chances of them turning conservative as they get older you know thats the transmission belt seems to have broken down to some degree and you make a convincing case i think that there are these particular seismic events that have shaped. This Younger Generation its not the cuban missile. Crazes its a 28 crash in well i mean because everything i got to say about the dimensions of this generation gap is not just happened in britain you know its visibly many other Different Countries not the whole of the globe is visible it well the elections just. Elections wishing fane for the 1st time one another actually you know broke this 2 party system theyve go thats driven by youth votes if you look at the the u. S. The democratic partys primaries to for the president ial nomination at the moment you know the vote for this is heavily heavily concentrated in the in the young and the over 60 fives over biden and in fact that was true in the 2016 president ial primary between sundays and clinton that was the age divide and you can see what a pulls people of older generation as you present news programs roebling i mean i dont know whether we want to be us coverage of all that the use of the s word socialism here were pulled here would be cool when the use of the s. Would see it was that maybe it would get in here. And this is all a sign that they dont even remember this generationally the bug where the red braid i mean this is the 1st post cold war generation you might say but but to come out to the 20072008 because you know we have to what caused this generational split up and suddenly its an International Scale so we need a cold which is quick sudden change which is happening to the 20072008 its a crisis i think fits the bill and of course if youre young youre working there for you all your Material Interests are aligned say well what am i wages and how much is housing how much is livi
