joining me now is the british labor party's shadow emergencies minister chris williams and before we get to revolution the paradise paper has your reaction to these new revelations witnesses say seriously injured people from the manchurian or attack did not get medical help for an hour that's the may twenty second attack in manchester the ground in a concert hall that's incredibly troubling and certainly merits further investigation as to why that happened i mean i can speculate i mean one of the reasons i think potentially could be the fact that our emergency services are massively underfunded and i've seen substantial reductions in government investments and that's pled to a reduction in staffing and consequently right across the piece the major services are struggling to actually cope with the pressures that being put on them i'm sure the government would deny the cuts had any big influence over that or all i don't think they can deny the full and when we do deny there is there isn't any any money and you guys in there. well the money is part of the problem the fact we don't have

advisor to the scottish labor party from ramallah in the occupied west bank we have. a letter at bears a university and former director of the palestinian authority government media center in london we have crispin blunt u.k. member of parliament for the conservative party welcome to your can i come to you first. in ramallah i imagine that one hundred years on that this is a moment of deep reflection retrospection maybe. that's true but in spite of that i think their way palestinians have been trying to remember that the occasion is by looking to the future and the fact that the palestinians are asking great britain to correct this injustice by contributing in more serious way to the creation of a palestinian state on part of the historical palestine is an indicator that instead of crying about the past we are trying to take advantage of this occasion to try to look forward and to move forward in a constructive way and in a way that is consistent with international legality and with the consensus of the international community over the future solution or ice conflict ok crispin b

its reporters accidentally forwarded his editor's note to the labor party when asking for comment on a story so let's get more details now from and see children joins us from the u.k. last year slightly embarrassing tell us then. a few more details about exactly what was said. well andrew you know a bit of a journalistic folk to say the least and just one example of really many of these days of how the press can twist and turn stories to try to get a certain angle this particular latest example includes the daily express journalist who apparently was instructed by either an editor or a producer to spin a story about national debt in the u.k. in an anti-labor or anti jeremy corbin manner specifically this was published by buzz feed who had received a copy of an e-mail that they ended up publishing this e-mail read quote needs a reaction from the taxpayers alliance but let's definitely also put the boot into corbin who wants to plunge us into into even deeper debt so as the readers are very clear that labor is not the solution and quote and even more curiously this journalist apparentl

government's policy towards israel and palestine must change. the opposition labor party's emily thornberry said there's no better time then for the british government to recognise the state of palestine she said that the labor party if elected is ready to take that step. joins us live now outside the location where trees and i'm benjamin netanyahu are having dinner what's happening there now barnaby and tell us more about what we can expect the british prime minister to say. well we're seeing the great and good of british society going into lancaster house behind me very tight security small demonstrations in support of israel and in support of palestine counter-demonstrations on the other side of the road the british are walking a diplomatic line on this centenary make no mistake the official line is that they are marking it with pride with respect but also with sadness because they would acknowledge that there is so much unfinished business when it comes to bringing peace to the middle east and in terms of relations between israel and palestine to resume a has used today to re

communities and constituencies. they'll be sadly missed by all of us, particularly in the labor party. mr. speaker, in 2010 the labor government intervened through hmrc to shut down aisle of man's scheme used to import yachts into the european union and thus avoid tax. a similar scheme has recently been exposed relating to the import of business jets into the isle of man. can the prime minister ensure the house that hmrc investigates these new allegations diligently? >> the honorable gentleman has made a number of references in his question andly address all of them. on the first point, it is absolutely essential that we have processes that political parties have processes to deal with allegations of misconduct, also that obviously we have the ministerial code and proper investigations take place against the ministerial code where that is appropriate. but i believe it is also crucial for everybody working in this parliament, be they working for a member of parliament, for the house authorities or a journalist working in this parliament, that there are proper processes in this parliament f

to jeremy koreans u.k. labor party shadow emergencies minister chris williamson and we asked tory m.p. and deputy chairman of the u.k. just a select committee john howell if minority government needed to raise a maze premiership is sustainable in the wake of what appears to be a new scandal every day there's new figures show alarming rises in u.k. food bank use water. director sean baker an oscar nominated actor will devote one more piece western economic crisis is doing to the children of the usa all the civil coming up today is going underground but first this week marks one hundred years since a revolution without which arguably britain today would be in the hands of nazi descendants the rapid industrialization that took place after ten days shook the world and russia would ensure the defeat of hitler on the eastern front that enormous human cost and allowed britain's escape from being an outpost of the third rush because according to go mark the revolution was supposed to happen here in london not three and a half hours by east of this studio in moscow it's something you can d

they put lobbyists on them and what they're doing is the opposite of what the british labor party did that led to corbin's victory. the british labor party let the actual voters decide who is going to be the candidate the democratic leadership committee . says we let the donors decide and the donors are the people we appoint to the board of the national committee so essentially we what we want the politicians decided to. britain would have let the tony blair wright decide who was going to be the next prime minister and now they're letting the hillary and obama decide which means wall street the military industrial complex so when they're going on effect findings tour what they really want to find out is how much you're going to donate to our cause where's the money and how much you're going to give us that's the only fact that they're really interested in because the other factor as to why the the working class the middle class. the women the black vote and the hispanics are turning against them is no secret at all. it is the result basically of obama knowing obama's policies the give

policy towards israel and palestine must change. the opposition labor party's emily thornberry said there's no better time then for the british government to recognise the state of palestine she said that the labor party if elected is ready to take that step the british government is not about to apologize for the balfour declaration no matter. what the palestinian authority would like a british government minister said this centenary is being marked with pride and respect but also a degree of sadness sadness because as the british acknowledge when it comes to israel and palestine so much is still unresolved the israeli and british prime ministers spent the evening at a dinner to mark lord balfour's declaration but the british are careful with their language because as rival demonstrations suggest there is too much division and anger for britain to truly celebrate this. part of the phillips al-jazeera lancaster house in central london. well theresa may and benjamin netanyahu have met for dinner in london palestinian president mahmoud abbas addressed his people on local t.v. he said
