The 2 time I have been in repeats and 41 by Slavia Prague in a. B.B.C. Radio 5 Live B.B.C. Sound. The weather cloudy in the north and west with rain pushing east as the day goes on sunny spells in Scotland the northern oil and some heavy rain in northern England and drawn in the southeast with broad spells of about 18 Celsius. Good morning on. The U.K. On digital and on line. Well it's an alarming scenario painted by a government document it's not an official government document rather than a sometimes leak of. Sharks. And even public disorder. Name was yellow and its name stuck we'll talk about that in a moment with Liberal Democrat M.P. . Spokesperson And we'll also talk about a very much larger than life. Of Texas and of the oil price see T. Boone Pickens was at the age of $91.00. So the governess published these papers showing that the U.K. Could face considerable disruption in the event of a new deal breaks that the operation Yellow Hammer paper said contingency plans for a reasonable worst case scenario that's the phrase that's now used based on assumptions made during the previous prime minister trees amaze administration documents suggests that public disorder food price rises and reduced medical supplies are all risks of the U.K. Leaving the E.U. Without a deal. Tom break who is Liberal Democrat M.P. For Kushal them Wallington the party's spokesperson on breaks it to talk about what he makes of the potential impact outlined in the document I think it is simply a reprints although it's a paid in the Sunday Times and I mean the only difference is that I have no today's search I think the original document referred to this day in a base case scenario and miraculously apparently is turned into a worst case scenario and a section that refers to the prosperity of 2 refineries and 2000 jobs being lost has been redacted from the In this version of the government how now printed so actually I don't think they printed the full thing oh really you think there's more to this document is just 6 pages long I cannot believe that the preparation that's the government has done. Amounts to you just a what I said is 6 pages actually 5 pages long amounts to a 5 page document I am sure that there is more which they have not released. The impact of this maybe has been modified by the fact that it was already leaked. You would expect people to be serious they alarmed by this wouldn't you yes I would recommend that anyone reads this and I think they need to read it because when ministers are on air saying it's all under control then people can compare and contrast what ministers say with what this official sensitive document says because what this document talks about for instance is the possibility all of direct action and road blockages talks about low income groups are going to be disproportionately affected by price rises in food it talks about illegal fishing illegal migration talks about fresh food supplies dropping So yes it makes quite shocking reading. It does it does also make the case against no deal pretty pretty strongly doesn't say as as much as anybody made it on the floor of the House of Commons yes it does make the case against noti over if the government were ever to produce something similar for a deal scenario as in perfect Canada style deal the government now talk about it then I suspect that they assume the document would be quite nearly nearly as as damning So yes I think people should be worried about the impact of no deal and they should not take minister's assurances that everything is under control at face value I think anything part under control. On that point are you aware of any work that's been done on the government side on any deal of any sort on living out the consequences of for example the deal the prime minister negotiated this is me well I mean I think Mrs May's deal is it is dead in the water. If we look at what work is being done since by the new prime minister it is very hard to tell whether there is any work going on every now and again a reference is made to something like a Canada style deal for instance Northern Ireland simply being called doubts and remaining European Union while the rest of the Great Britain stays put it's hard to know whether that is just about the government government trying to demonstrate that they are taking action so if we end up with no deal they can try to shift the blame onto other people. We've also of course had the Court in Edinburgh the Court of Session saying that actually the pro against and of of Parliament was. A device to stymie the democratic process and saying this shouldn't be happening and now that's going to be appealed but we've also had another court in Northern Ireland that I Q.C. Saying that judges shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing where the Liberal Democrats come died on this. Boat Clearly the courts will differentiate between something that is a political matter which they have no. Job of interfering in Clearly they are also look at whether Friends state the government's reasons for seeking to probe torment or to shut down Parliament there are there are genuine reasons why government can do that if it's course a packed programme of action that it wants to bring forward with lots of there was lots of friendship there was the court came to the conclusion that that wasn't the reason why although that was the reason that apparently the prime minister probably gave the queen came to the conclusion that this was simply about stopping Tallman holding the Government to account scrutinizing the government. Breaks it and sitting down Poland for 5 weeks the longest period the parliament has been shut down since the 2nd World War for these purposes what was not was not acceptable and I welcome that now clearly the government on going to appeal but there's understand that the court ruling in its sags means that until the Supreme Court has actually heard the case parliament should actually be sitting. But is not. What's the problem. I think the pyramid is that we need clarity over how how we can now proceed to who ultimately can. Allow Calment to sit if the court has in fact indicated that attending the Supreme Court decision that it considers the Parliament should be sitting. Out I think that another thing that could be very revealing and play into this court case of course is that the the documents that were published this evening in relation to yellow Hamma for the no deal preparations at the same time now you know we have only just gone perhaps beyond the cutoff point at the same time the government was supposed to publish one of the communications that related to the purgation or shutting down a parliament which I believe will reveal that when the Prime Minister has stated that it was because he wanted to bring for the Queen's speech that actually the communications that were taking place long before he stated that made it very clear that this wasn't actually about bringing for the Queen's speech it was actually about shutting down Parliament and stopping members of parliament holding the Government to account. You made it clear of course that you believe that Parliament should be setting because it's not are you feeling a bit useless just not what is you know what is there for you to do usefully. Well we have 2 members of parliament have to rely on. Programs like 5 life to make sure that the the the issues that we should be raising in Parliament that people care about. Are speaking on these issues challenging the government on the operation Yama documents and the reasons why the government shut down Parliament that is something there should be being debated in parliament tomorrow and it won't be because the prime minister shut down Parliament for 5 weeks to ensure that we couldn't have him there and hold him to account Tom brake liberal Democrat Rex spokesperson in Kashmir. We don't really know what's happening Kashmir he said describe it as the world's largest Orpen prison India has cut off the Internet is keeping people in the. Condition of of military supervision you might say. Tandem has been talking about how the Pakistani foreign minister is trying to raise the profile of the situation by talking to other foreign ministers in Geneva. It's difficult to say and I you know later on this week on Friday we're going to see the Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan try to internationalize it once again he's going to go and have a huge convention in was a bad inside Pakistan administered Kashmir so this is something very important to Pakistan it's something that the trying to push ahead with but I think in India at the moment there is confidence that in spite of all the noise that Pakistan is making at the moment that they're not really getting a HUGE amounts of international progress in terms of the number of people who are criticizing India for what's going on inside Indian administered Kashmir and this is the nature of news rod the longer that this story rolls on and there are still of course huge problems within Indian administered Kashmir we had the festival my horror I'm just a couple of days ago and still quite intense restrictions on movement from many people in the area that I mean there are cashiers of course who are going to call the world's biggest prison they do yes yes of course they do at the moment but I think what the Indians would say all feel at the moment is that that interest in the story is beginning to wane a little bit and that Pakistan my still try and make a lot of noise about this issue but that the world isn't paying as much attention as Pakistan would want it to pay and maybe as much attention as people within Indian admin inside Indian administered Kashmir with the plight that they're facing at the moment would also want the world to pay to it as well while I suppose you can you can judge peoples and they are. Talking up the issue of Kashmir because the 2 sides both nuclear armed I think that is the case and I think there's always being. Within the international community a sense of how do we actually tackle this problem I think many countries which. Not be something that the people themselves I think would like to see would be quite happy that if the line of control as it exists at the moment between Indian administered Kashmir and Pakistan administered Kashmir almost becomes a proper border between both these countries and Kashmir is split because maybe that countries feel could end the tension between India and Pakistan but I think it's much more complicated than that and whilst at the moment because we haven't seen massive violence one of the reasons for that is it's very difficult to report from Indian administered Kashmir still as to what is actually taking place international journalists not allowed to go into that particular region but because we haven't seen pictures of huge file as a huge protest as people across the world have been saying with Hong Kong the international world may feel that OK you know this is not something we need to address at the moment but this is not going to go away this is going to be a long story and it is going to be fascinating to see how it plays out and when the Indian government feels confident enough to lift all the restrictions in that area last time we talked you and I were talking about the new traffic fights but already one state wants to break with the federal government and roll them back Well they've said quite clearly this is the state of West Bengal which is where Kuhl Qatar is based home to almost 100000000 people and they've said very clearly to the central government in Delhi that we're not going to impose these fines because they are too harsh on people I think last time we spoke. You know some people whose vehicles may be worth around 40000 rupees that's around 500 pounds I've been getting fines of up to 10150 pounds and I think it comes the paradox here in India that one of the reasons that this tax was put in place why these fines were put in by being put in place is because so many governments state governments in India short of money because so few people pay tax and many people break traffic regulations so this how to deal purpose on the $1.00 hand to try and get people to a did to the law but on the other one as a way of actually generating income but we're going to have elections in the state of West Bengal next year and they going to be very crucial elections is a part of the the country that the government of the B J P Mr Modi doesn't traditionally do well in but there's a feeling that they could actually win the state elections and I think the chief minister them of the manager has move quite quickly against a very unpopular move and I think this is a big electoral issue that we may see playing out in other states as well you know they ended economies not working rosy. Slowing down a lot as an awful thing to hear because it's been an engine of growth it has it's been we use that phrase a lot haven't we we've used it a lot in our conversations the world's fastest growing you know a major economy many people thought that was going to continue for quite some time we've got a growth rate now about 5 percent I think a lot of people would say those figures are on the optimistic side if he talked to business man and business women if he talked to youngsters in India who are coming out of college everybody is extremely concerned about the situation there are no jobs in the market and I think a lot of focus now on what has been one of the big drivers of Indian growth over the last 2 decades really and that of course is the the I T. Sector I'm sure a lot of listeners that used to hearing the voices of Indian I.T. Software. Engineers whether that's on coals that they made when they have problems or even if you know now and even in the U.K. As well now and I think there's a great level of concern that what is being one of the the key sectors in driving forward that growth in India is now beginning to stagnate for a month and the in problems that the Indian economy faces being complicated of course by Donald Trump's policies when it comes to visas for Indian I.T. And gymnast Well yeah this is a serious problem isn't it because people have for years looked to the United States as the place to go or at least gain experience. What sort of an impact it's going to have on the on the indian i t market Well 1st you know there are 2 different views on this I've spent quite a lot of time recently talking to Indians who are based in Silicon Valley and some of them have a lot of sympathy for Donald Trump saying that a lot of Indian companies have been trying to bring in cheap labor into the U.S. Market there are those who who disagree and that there are many and now saying well Indians don't need to go because of the gig economy different ways of up working Do Indians really need to go and do that software work that can they not do it you know from India that there are of course there are concerns about security on projects etc It is having an impact is it having an impact about whether the U.S. Is still the preferred destination of choice for Indian I.T. Graduates that's a question I put to one of India's leading right isn't a former I.T. Specialist himself Sunday program. I think the key here is is it the place where Indians want to go yes it is still the place where Indians want to look and you know we as visas make it harder it still becomes even more the place people want to go because it becomes more covered because it just becomes a little harder to get into what it might be changing is that people are looking for backup options you know so they're looking at Australia and Canada as places that they that they might end up going because it is getting harder to get to go to America but I don't think the desirability of America itself has changed but it is a conversation here now isn't it I want to go to the States but it's going to be hard because of term eat you do hear that now where people feel very much like that they do need to keep you know that America can we can put all their eggs into the American basket and hope that it will work out I do know a lot several people who have applied for permanent residency in Canada because they feel that in their options of getting into America limited very interesting what you're saying about the rarity value of these. One. Visa you know the fact that you know they're still competing for them because it's even more of a feather in your cap I suppose if you get one it is and it's been fascinating to see that I.T. Growth in other asset sectors of Indian life I mean one of the big plus points for people who've gone to study in the US or go to work in the US you know in a country where the arranged marriage system is still so important they really you know increases your value within that arranged marriage for the market and so even now with with marriage season coming up once again and in December you'll find that those who do make it to to the states are really going to be the eligible brides and grooms but we're also seeing a big shift in India I think Rod which for the 1st time in generation. This is all part of Mr Modi's new India that he's trying to create Well lot of youngsters say we don't want to go t
