Ah hello, welcome to the program. Iran Supreme Leader has spoken for the 1st time since protest spread across iran, ayatollah allah had beneath, says my demonstrations that began off to the death of massage many were planned. The 22 year old died off to being detained by rome, so called Morality Police for violating rules on head scoffs. Lets go straight to a correspond, russell said it is in to her on for us. So these comments coming from our told how many, just in the last few minutes describing my some of these death as a bitter incident. What else did he have to say and how significant all these comments . Well, its the 1st time that after the process started in iran, his is his speaking and simply he said that i did that the real victims of all of this protests. And the recent developments in the countries are the Security Forces, the besieged paramilitary on groups. That was, that is founded in, in iran. And he said that the death of my sammy has said in every one. And he taught his heart as well. However, the way that the professors dealt with it is not a correct way. He said that they have right to the wrong and the school, the voices have been that the victim of this cruelty. However, what the point, the main point of todays speech was that this was a pre planned protest. It was, it is an, a madeline into the era, did the iranian domestic airport. He said that if the foreign powers even didnt had lesser means that they would find a way, another way to create a protein for pretext, for the protest. This is the official understanding of the iranian officials here in the county. They think that, that, that, that the recent developments or an international madeline into your as Domestic Affairs and that this protests ought for walked by the foreign powers yesterday. The, this is the part of the speaker support person. Mohammed burger go to buffalo, so has repeated that. And he said that there is a, if what and zak investigation on the way and based on death of good that, that investigation. There would be a final report. And if there is anything wrong that people are going to be held accountable, so ali hm. And also the Supreme Leader of the control says refer to that. He said that before any proof of investigation, having that right. Yes or protest is not something to do, but here the core issue is that iran officially says this protest as an international meddling into irans Domestic Affairs. So where are we with the protests . Because over the weekend, the focus off at much of the protests has been at some of the prestigious universities in iran, particularly sharif university. What is going on there now . Well, the clashes in shed is university of technology has wrapped it last night between the students and the Security Forces off the disclosures dozens of the students have been arrested. So now the epicenter of the protests in iran is the universities, as students started to protest on saturday and they continued to a sunday. Now the students are asking the Security Forces to stop crack down, and also to least they are detained a france. So since the beginning of the protest, hundreds of people, including tons of the students, were arrested by the Security Forces. And yesterday, the president of univers drove to run a universe to have a limit of a cub. I, they said that they are detained. Students have been released and handed over to their families by the Security Forces. This was a gesture in the country to combine distribution. However, the clashes in the in shit if University Show that it didnt work so far. And at the moment that are still ongoing protest in care, marcia in she was and also in, in, is in, in, is for hand. So she, if universe is quite important for this country, it is regarded as a leading Scientific University as a Top University in the company. And the top students, the best students will run every year. Go through that universe and his famous with his faculty of engineering pounds off its graduate every year. Go to the west of the western countries, primarily the u. S. So in that sense, it is quite a sensitive a delicate issue thats going on. Now here we are. Thank you for that update results that are there 1st live in tap, ron now to the u. K, where the British Government is made a dramatic you turn on its mini budget that was announced just 10 days ago. The chancellor quasi qua tang is reversing his proposed scrapping of the top rates of income tax announcement of billions of dollars of unfunded tax cuts and Financial Markets into a spin with the pound reaching rack or lows against the dollar as go straight talk. Correspond pool brennan, he was live for us in the city of birmingham. Paul, this is hugely embarrassing. Isnt it . For the chancellor and the Prime Minister who both been in government under a month. How is it gone down at the conservative Party Conference where you as well as certain consternation here at the conservative product conference at the speed of events. I mean just 24 hours ago. The Prime Minister list trust was saying that she was absolutely committed to the package of measures that was announced by the chancellor back on september the 23rd, which included this abolition of the top rates of taxes. 45 percent rate of tax for people who own more than a 150000. 00 pounds a year. It was described as a budget for many budget for the very rich. It went down very badly with the Financial Markets overall. And that the criticism that was leveled against the conservatives as a result of it was certainly stinging on. And now this morning we have the chancellor deciding that he is going to not proceed with this before with the abolition of this 45 percent tax cost. Joining me to discuss the implications of this is papa tell now hes a senior fellow for the institute of Public Policy research. You could write a book about this one, couldnt hipaa its, its pretty extraordinary. They will, is it, it is extremely extraordinary morning, politically, really important. I think fiscally, whether this 45 b rate is, is reduction is, is significant in different question. Politically, this is matches on it. So crushing you turn for the new Prime Minister and the chancellor at the start of the new government. And what we heard this morning or, and was it quite, ang went out and said why he was going to change his mind. He said, ive listened right. And the question we should ask is, what were you doing for politicians have 2 basic functions in a democracy. First of all, that governance that to use the, the powers of the state to deliver the promises theyve made to vote, as they say they want to deliver growth. They need to be able to do that, right . Thats the 1st job. Everyone agrees on that. They have this 2nd function, which is to be a representative. They are called elective representatives, which means reading and understanding and aggregating Public Opinion and public interests into coherent policy. Now sometimes thats a really hard job. Public opinion can be hard to read. Its fragmented on Something Like top right. Income tax is pretty clear spread unanimous. So choosing to act against that means youre choosing not to be a representative, right . And thats something they should learn as the lesson that they should take on. People have criticized politicians are being out of touch. This is what they mean and going forward. There are some difficult decisions to be made around public spending around public services. If they again choose to ignore their job as representatives of people. They will hit a hurdles. Im reminded of mistrust in the Leadership Campaign where she announced the policy of regional pay for Public Sector workers, but Public Sector workers in the north of england for example, where the cost of living is lower than the, than the south would be pay less than those living in the south, it was immediately criticized from within her own party and she abruptly dropped it and said it had been misrepresented and misinterpreted. Is this an indication of what shes like having that weve, weve seen the symptoms there before. She became Prime Minister. Are we seeing simply a continuation of that vacillation and the a lack of well steadfastness, frankly. Well, its, its, i dont have his indication of what his trust is like as a person. Its an indication of her approach to policy making, policy making in a democracy should, to some extent the bottom of it should be based on what people want and whats in their interest. What you think that means in terms of policy, what were seeing with this ross government is an incredibly top down approach to policy making, influenced by handful think tactics as it is. Theres a lack of diversity even at the elite level of influencing. And so thats what were saying, and thats what the regional tables and again we c o u time because actually that approached policy making doesnt quite rub up very well with democracy. Right. And so thats a problem. And weve seen that again profit. Thank you very much. In the for joining us now, quasi crossing the chancellor gives his keynote speech of this conference. Later on this afternoon. Its about quarter past 3, g m t. Im sure well be dipping into it in due course back to you. And deed of really interesting to hear from you and your gas, po brennan, that for us live in birmingham are ukraines president says his forces have retaken a strategic town as part of a counter offensive against Russian Forces. Lehman is in one of the 4 regions recently claimed by russia. Charles traffic reports from ne, by seattle husk ukrainian armies repositioning close to the front line town of leman. In the dawn at screeching of east in ukraine, president putin says, this is now part of russia. But the ukraine in armies back in control of 2 weeks of heavy fighting. Everywhere you look, devastation is nearly complete. Burnt out. Russian Ukrainian Military vehicles and home after home destroyed russian soldiers were forced to retreat from this area. But the Ukrainian Army says they are prepared for a counter attack and one, even using as russian president Vladimir Putin has implied the nuclear auction. He would under so carsa, this is also possible on liberated territories, so we dont keep patching together that we keep them dispersed to ensure maximum safety of our personnel. But it does not affect the performance of their task. Some of its spirals have been damaged by the shilling, but this 16th Century Russian orthodox monastery remains relatively unscathed. The level of destruction he proves. Just how fierce the fighting has been. In recent weeks, this Russian Orthodox monastery has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. But now the ukrainian soldiers here tell us they fear the priests inside a sheltering what they describe as russian collaborators. The bridge to the monastery over the soviet ski donates river has been blown up on both sides. Unlike most of the population of the village, the priests are still here, lover, now taco bell. And for martha, this monastery comes under the moscow patriarch, which from the start has been destroying ukraine from the inside. Therefore, we see all these monks as russian agents. So theres a very high chance theyve been hiding collaborators. And some of the few people who stayed and survived the fighting, a sheltering in the basement of another damage nearby church. Because their homes have been destroyed. Food millers husband passed away in may, her children clear to heart cubes. When the fighting started. I knew zone but the we are not leaving because this is our land, our mother land. We are even prepared to live in a dog out if it means we can stay. Another homeless family descend the stairs to the church crypt where they sleep. They Ukrainian Village lies in ruins on land. Vladimir putin says, is now part of russia and has vowed to take full control of by any means while with more on the ukraine war, where live in moscow and in ukraines love yanns, lets 1st speak to Charlie Strafford whos now whos insular rounds for us. Up to date, charlie on the latest in the fighting, how much more ground have ukrainian force has been able to retake what were getting daily updates from the ukranian military. And these gains that have been made, certainly with the retreat of Russian Forces from the town of lee mann and surrounding villages and small towns close by is hugely significant because lets not forget, this is happened in the in the couple of days since president putins formal annexation of this region, this is donna screeching. And so this is, as you can imagine, of huge morale boost for Ukrainian Forces. Just today were hearing so many reports by the ukraine and military. They saying that they have pushed into a town called she called k, which is north of here, relatively close to lima. And we just spoken to the head of the guns military administration. And he has told us to expect great things in the next couple of days. Me personally and Ukrainian Ministry around him, excited about the prospect of ukrainian full sees crossing into lou guns the guns region of something that said, we know that has been heavy fighting in that area. But theres been no way of verifying for the scan reports that youve created. Shes are actually operating inside new guns. Its believed that from their ukrainian force hes aim to push down towards the big cities of civil than its actually see chance. And also towards the city of buck remote, which we understand is on the daily siege. A lot of rocket, fun and heavy fighting in that city. Its a city that i visited in april and was very, it was all very calm and Russian Forces were about why supposed 20 kilometers also a way. We now understand that they are on the outskirts of buff mood. So these kind of military gains in this area by the and his are huge significance because as i say theyre going to be pushing northeast and southeast. You look, well, i mean, this is the city of slippy, im. So my left is the city of criminals. These are the 2 largest urban census still on the grading control in the region. A region, as i say, the president putin now says, is russia so also with respect just briefly tell me about whats happening in the south. We are getting reports of the ukrainians have made games on the western bank of the denise river pushing down towards kind of song. Theres been an admission by russian, a russian placed official in that region. He acknowledging that there have been, has been a push bar Ukrainian Forces towards gets on this significant because we understand that things are being pretty difficult for the crate in military in that region over the last couple of weeks while its, its been so much concentration on liberating the man. So yeah, a lot of moving parts, a lot of fighting on all fronts at the moment and these gains are huge importance and a great morale boost for the Ukrainian Military. Interesting. Okay. Charlie strafford, theyre in love. Young. We can speak to mohammed vow who is in moscow mohammed just referring, thats what charlie was saying. Its very interesting because the do much as i understand it is still going ahead with its plans to ratify the annexation of those 4 ukranian regions by russia. So will that make it official yes, martin and interesting also to mention that to just a little while ago, the Company Announced that the border of the new regions, particularly in lou ganske and didnt yet could be the same border out of 2014 and that means the area dr. Charles has just been speaking about is included the, according to the understanding of the kremlin and the understanding of the cities that is just about to be ratified short. While from now by the duma, it will also be ratified by the federal council tomorrow, which is the russian senate. Asked to that it will become law. It actually becomes a part of the russian constitution and have a constitutional amendment made up of 4 parts. Each one of those entities in isnt from ukraine, has its own constitutional law and next in it to the actual russian federation. And it actually means a lot for russia, because it means that a from now on, its forbidden, in the russian constitution to give up any inch of that land, not by Vladimir Putin himself, the president , not by nor by any one else in the federation. The foundation for the nation, it means that the recruits are bound by the constitution to defend the russian territory in the understanding of the or of russia now. And that, that was not miss for the mobilization and for how rush is going to negotiate. And which of course it has rolled out in a rush, her vladimir put in a
