but that's not just the current commissioner questions need to be asked of previous commissioners of the london fire brigade questions need to be asked of boris johnson who these commissioners of the london fire brigade questions need to be asked of boris johnson who when he was mayor of london oversaw personally the cuts to 10 london when he was mayor of london oversaw personally the cuts to 10 london fire stations. of the blaze that ripped through the granville high rise building a stations. of the blaze that ripped through the granville high rise building on june 14th 2017 left more than 70 people dead and it raised public debate on june 14th 2017 left more than 70 people dead and it raised public debate over lax fire regulations in social housing in the wake of that fire of a lax fire regulations in social housing in the wake of that fire some including the labor party leader jeremy corbin highlighted government deregulation understand

building in who made those decisions who made those to real was fix to the outside of the building in who made those decisions who made those decisions in local government and in sin eventually. and government to get around them and the background to the refurbishments. of justice that people are looking for refurbishments. the justice that people are looking for won't be delivered far far as did not cause the fire of our won't be delivered far far as did not cause the fire of our forefathers and not responsible for fixing it from a will be from all material on forefathers and not responsible for fixing it from a will be from all material on the outside of the tower prosecution should be at the people that caused the outside of the tower prosecution should be at the people that cause the building to be in such an unsafe condition in the 1st place from the

maintenance of all the building to be in such an unsafe condition in the 1st place from the maintenance of a. all the fire safety systems that already existed in the building so the refurbishment that left the fire safety systems that already existed in the building so the refurbishment that left towers are dangerous. now is it a burgeoning east are so dangerous. now is it a burgeoning eastern romance or a simple sharing of mutual interests russia's president vladimir putin meeting with the bromance or a simple sharing of mutual interests russia's president vladimir putin meeting with the and garion prime minister viktor orban to talk regional affairs business in boosting relations and garion prime minister viktor orban to talk regional affairs business in boosting relations artie's correspondingly but trying to follow that meeting hard agree ratties correspondingly but trying to follow the meeting. hungary and russia when you look at it at 1st glance it seems that it's impossible

to compare russia when you look at it at 1st glance it seems that it's impossible to compare or put these 2 together on the one hand we have a very small european country which is or put these 2 together on the one hand we have a very small european country which is a member of nato and the e.u. on the other hand we have the world's biggest country which is a member of nato and the e.u. on the other hand we have the world's biggest country which is in fact a geopolitical at verse 3 of the european union added the north atlantic fact a geopolitical at verse 3 of the european union added the north atlantic treaty alliance but the friendship between the 2 leaders president vladimir putin. alliance but the friendship between the 2 leaders president vladimir putin and the prime minister viktor or bad some have in fact referred to it the prime minister viktor or bad some have in fact referred to it as a brawl bad even and the way the hug area government likes to go against of

a brawl bads even and the way the hug area government likes to go against the flow when it comes to the batters has led to a situation where victor or best slow when it comes to the batters has led to a situation where the victor or bad lattimer approach brought up exactly the same issues at the press conference slightly at odds lattimer putin brought up exactly the same issues at the press conference slightly from different angles but still 1st of all let's take the middle east to be the past well from different angles but still 1st of all let's take the middle east to be the past once an end to all the conflicts and wars there because of the migrants and moscow is also the end to all the conflicts and wars there because of the migrants and moscow is an active power broker there that doesn't want eddy terrorism to spread active power broker there that doesn't want eddie terrorism to spread further north but. to go

settlement and see it further north. but you know when he's going to go settlement in syria will be achieved through the work of the sewer and constitutional committee to which russia turkey will be achieved through the work of the sewer and constitutional committee to which russia turkey and iran allies have contributed a lot in the framework of the committee in the government on the run allies have contributed a lot in the framework of the committee in the government opposition and syria's civil society will manage directly without foreign help by the opposition and syria's civil society will manage directly without foreign help i work on constitutional reform state construction and stable development of the country work on constitutional reforms state construction and stable development of the country it's important for hungary and the context of refugee processes and boredom for europe is that it's important for hungary up in the context of refugia processes and wharton for europe as a whole. the hungry has interests in the middle east as well but on the whole.

the hungry has interests in the middle east as well these territories and we civilize a lot of migrants will go to europe and they'll try to get these territories and we civilize a lot of migrants will go to europe and they'll try to get there through hungry hungry has an interest in seeing everything settle down in the middle east and syria through hungry hungry has an interest in seeing everything settle down in the middle east and syria both from military and political points of view. what it comes to ukraine both from military and political points of view. what it comes to ukraine it turns out that the head gary government is concerned about the fate of the ethnic had gary and it turns out that they had garry government as concerned about the fate of the ethnic had gary and by dorothy at the western part of the country and of course we do about her how by doherty at the western part of the country and of course we do about her how big the russian speaking by dora t.v.

program should minority is big the. and speaking. of the pro russian minority is at the eastern part of the country and we understand how difficult it is at the eastern part of the country and we understand how difficult it is to head the war there but both leaders are welcoming the new attempts by to head the war there but both leaders are welcoming the new attempts by the ukrainian government as to restart the peace talks as part of the new ukrainian government as to restart the peace talks as part of the normandy for bad these are the talks between the leaders of russia you already for about these are the talks between the leaders of russia ukraine accompanied by the president of france and also the chancellor grade accompanied by the president of france and also the chancellor of germany when it

comes to the energy issues when you have to when it comes to the energy issues we do have to buy that hungary i'd add to that hungary imports a vast majority of its natural resources including all of the gas from russia towards a vast majority of its natural resources including all of the gas from russia and it wants to have as many ways as possible to deliver and it wants to have as many ways as possible to deliver these natural resources into the country at the same time russia wants to these natural resources into the country at the same time russia wants to diversify the ways it's all gas are delivered to europe diversify the ways it's all gas are delivered to europe here you can take the north stream to pipeline project and also the turkish stream here you can take the north stream to pipeline project and also the turkish stream with which they had called

agree. to eventually be a part of what finally. it could eventually become a part of now finally when it comes to the relations between russia and nato russia at the e.u. they had gary lee hopes to the relations between russia and nato russia at the e.u. he had gary leader once again made it clear that he was beautiful has to be called this bridge between or once again made it clear that he was beautiful to be called this bridge between the west and east and he's happy to play this role here's what exactly he tweeted the west and east he's happy to play this role here's what exactly he said all that was each more odd of course hungry is a member of nato and the e.u. said all that was each morag of course hungry is a member of nato and the e.u. and it will remain there but it doesn't exclude cooperation with russia including a political and it will remain there but it doesn't exclude cooperation with russia including a political levels hungary is interested in improving relations between nato and

russia levels hungary is interested in improving relations between nato and russia who have this political and historic experience in relations between western and eastern youth who have this political and historic experience in relations between western and eastern europe a strain hungry loses and for their relations a good hungry is also a winthrop a strain hungry loses it for their relations a good hungry is also a winner. whether this plan will work or not we will find out in the upcoming. whether this plan will work or not we will find out in the upcoming bods or years but it's clear that victor or bad has been beating lot of our put odds for years but it's clear that victor or bad has been be to glad about put at least once a year what's to keep trying and it looks like a lot of our approach at least once a year what's to keep trying and it looks like a lot of our potent and victor or badly want to keep up that pace. at victory or

bad one. keep up that pace. george samueli is the senior research fellow at the global policy institute in the country george samueli is the senior research fellow at the global policy institute in the country joins me on the line now good evening to you george so you've got to an e.u. member who joins me on the line now good evening to you george so you've got to an e.u. member country hungary getting on pretty well it seems with russia and country hungary getting on pretty well it seems with russia what are the major new powers see when they look at what are the major new powers see when they look at that they say this is great we've got one of the major international players close to one of our members or do they see it as a that they say this is great we've got one of the major international players close to one of our members or do they see it as a cause for concern they see it as a cause of concern

a cause for concern. they see there's a cause of concern because it enables hungary too because it enables hungary to have diplomatic flexibility and every power in the would have diplomatic flexibility and every power in the world should have diplomatic plex ability it hungary has the world should have diplomatic plex ability it hungary has its interests some of which are catered to by the european interests some of which are catered to by the european union but some of that not and hungary has had the syrian union but some of that not and hungary has had a serious issue with immigrants and the outpouring of readiness issue with

immigrants and the and the outpouring of refugees through hungary and it doesn't feel that the e.u. provided that you g.'s through hungary and it doesn't feel that the e.u. provided it with any assistance. the relationship with write it with any assistance. the relationship with russia gives hungary a flexibility because. it gives hungary a flexibility because. you know if it has good relations in the east and and therefore there's a you know if it has good relations in the east and and therefore there's a limit to how much coercion the e.u. can apply to hungary the limit to how much coercion the e.u. can apply to hungary given the program was has alternative options as to where it

can go given the program was has. alternative options as to where it can go should things get really dire between on green russel's so if bush or things get really dire between on green brussels. but if it emits with viktor orban it seems more often than any of the european leaders but if it emits with viktor orban seems more often than any of the european leader you could have explained there what hungary's interest in russia is you could have explained there what hungary's interest in russia is what's the interest the way from russia what what's so interesting about hungary what's the interest the other way from russia what what's so interesting about hungary well we are and result is the strategic countries as. well we are under is obviously a strategic country the strategic location it is it is indeed eastern whereas

the location it is it is indeed between east and west and it's also a bridge in of between north and south that mean it's the gateway through to look and it's also a bridge of between north and south that mean it's the gateway through to the balkans but there's no question. that. but there's no question. that russia doesn't want. a strengthening of need to leave the show doesn't want. straightening up neatly doesn't want. an expansion of nato and why doesn't want. an expansion of nato and. you know orbit and has a strained relation with the as the nato. you know orbit and has a strained relation with the as the nato partners the russians are happy as can be

seen foreigners the russians are happy as can be seen by this dramatic development today of hungary refusing to sign on a this dramatic development today of hungary refusing to sign on to this statement by nato with regard to your group yeah to that statement by nato with regard to your group yeah about that in particular maybe this is one the things that putin likes about all been the fact that it does about that in particular maybe this is one the things that putin likes about all been the fact that he doesn't necessarily dunce to everybody else is cheating as they're told so they vetoed that nato deck unnecessarily dunce to everybody else is cheating as they're told so they vetoed the nato declaration on ukraine they say it's because of the country's failure to respect the rights of toleration on ukraine they say it's because of the country's failure to respect the rights of ethnic and guerin's who live there is that going

to the united states left nikken guerin's who live there is that going to the united states. it will lead to irritate the united states but. it will lead to irritate the united states but on the other hand you have you have an issue with donald trump because donald trump and you have a you have an issue with donald trump because donald trump really doesn't think very much of ukraine and as this whole you don't really doesn't think very much of ukraine and as this whole ukraine gate impeachment crisis in washington is showing ukraine gate impeachment crisis in washington is showing there you have trump who are really felt that he was being. there you have trump who are really felt that he was being. pushed into a policy towards russia

a very i must necessarily push into a policy towards russia a very i must necessarily hostile policy towards russia by this vast. policy towards russia by this vast ukraine lobby that has imbedded itself within the united states national crane lobby that has imbedded itself within the united states' national security apparatus so you know or a band is expressing some security so you know or a band is expressing some criticism skepticism about ukraine. criticism skepticism about ukraine trying to sell might not be unsympathetic to that view i mean it's me with his position isn't oh well might not be unsympathetic to that view i mean it's me with his position isn't oh well you know a national minority is not being granted it's. linguistic and can you know

a national minority is not being granted it's. linguistic and called. right transplant is that why are we being pushed into a serious ultra right transplant is that why we've been pushed into a a serious confrontation with russia over a state or widower which shone has no confrontation with russia over a state or widower which shone has no strategic economic interest for the united states though strategic economic interest for the united states another of the issues discussed by president obama was conflicts in the middle east and another of the issues discussed by president obama's conflicts in the middle east in particular syria what's the shared interest there is this brings back to immigrate to kill or syria what's the shared interest there is this brings back to immigration or something else. without

a doubt. and or vanishing or something else. without a doubt. and or been said this explicitly that we want stability in the middle east said this explicitly that we want stability in the middle east because we don't want a refugee flows from the middle east and so there because we don't want a refugee flows from the middle east and so there he is outlook is very much in conformity with the outlook he is outlook is very much in conformity with the outlook of russia which is regime change wars or of russia which is regime change wars cause instability they destroy governments and the consequence of that is instability they destroy governments and the consequence of that is massive refugee outlaws and the and suffering by massive

refugee outlaws and the and suffering by the. peoples of europe and that's or is fully on board with that pay the peoples of europe and that's or is fully on board with that as are all bands position is actually close to put its position which is less rich as are all bands position is actually closed the book is the issue which is let's restore stability in syria and the way to do it is to support the existing legitimate government of business for stability in syria and the way to do it is to support the existing legitimate government has. been in the expert opinion of george samueli is a senior research fellow at the global policy institute george have in the expert opinion of george samueli is a senior research fellow at the global policy institute george appreciate it and thank you thank you very much. moving on to other news depreciate and thank you

the harbor as well international. almost 70 percent a millennial in the united states are more likely to vote for. almost 70 percent of millennial than the united states and more likely to vote for a communist candidate according to a recent poll the survey was conducted by the communists candidate according to a recent poll the survey was conducted by the victims of communism memorial foundation it also shows decline in support of communism memorial foundation it also shows decline in support for capitalism among millennial generation said more people view donald trump for capitalism among millennial. and generations said more people view donald trump is the biggest threat to world peace than any other world leader but those who are behind the poll believe that the biggest threat to world peace than any other world leader but those who are behind the poll believe that the results is a sign of historical amnesia the historical results is

a sign of historical amnesia. the historical amnesia about the dangers of communism and socialism is on full display in this year's report amnesiac about the dangers of communism and socialism is on full display in this year's report we need to redouble our efforts to educate america's youth about thought we need to redouble our efforts to educate america's youth about the history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today we got a pretty history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today we got opinion expert opinion on the issue. the authors of the soul of the survey and in expert opinion on the issue. the authors of the soul of the survey i'm sure were expecting and hoping that most of the people that they i'm sure were expecting and hoping that most of the people that they interviewed most of the millenniums that they interviewed. would have

a very unfavorable view interviewed most of the millenniums that they interview. would have a very unfavorable view of socialism very unfavorable view of communism and that wasn't a lot of socialism very unfavorable view of communism and that wasn't the case and so their only recourse when the survey did not turn face and so their only recourse when the survey did not turn out the way they wanted to do it when you know when it ended in a fact show that the majority of milling out the way they wanted to when you know when it and in a fact show that the majority of the millennial view and socialism and communism in favor always viewed socialism and communism in favor always when they say it's a lack of teaching with their what they're basically saying this is a lack of indoctrination because when they say it's a lack of teaching with their what they're basically saying that it's a lack of indoctrination because for instance if you live the united states where i

live a lot of the teaching within for instance if you live the united states where i live . a lot of the teaching within public school systems even you know many private school systems from elements public school systems even you know many private school systems from elementary school all the way to tertiary education iras gratian it's indoctrination to school all the way to tertiary education ira it's cation it's indoctrination if you go if you're in economists if you're studying to be economists at a at a you know if you go if you're in economists if you're studying to be economists at a at a university you're not learning about alternative alternative economic systems outburst you're not learning about alternative alternative economic systems outside of capitalism you're learning how to be a good capitalist you learning how to embrace capitalism know the side of capitalism you're learning how to be a good capitalist you learning how to embrace capitalism no matter how destructive no matter how one sided it is no matter how much it benefits or how destructive no

matter how one sided it is no matter how much it benefits the conditions that young people face enormous social inequality indebtedness the conditions that young people face enormous social inequality indebtedness and the young people graduating from college with tens of thousands of dollars in debt and he's young people graduating from college with tens of thousands of dollars in dead unable to get a decent job or the jobs that are available or in a so-called good economy were able to get a decent job or the jobs that are available or in a so-called good economy where you don't have benefits you don't have you don't have job security poor wages or you don't have benefits you don't have you don't have job security poor wages temporary employment this is the reality of young people unable to even have a 1st temporary employment this is the reality of young people unable to even have a family to move out of their parents' homes this is the reality of capitalism lead

to move out of their parents' homes this is the. the reality of capitalism of exploitation and young people are getting a very clear lesson in that exploitation and young people are getting a very clear lesson in that and that really is what is behind the growing interest and that really is what is behind the growing interest in support for her social it. doesn't trump our selective or or her social it. doesn't trump our selected this new ambassador for russia and they have faced a confirmation hearing in congress the current this new ambassador for russia and they have faced a confirmation hearing in congress the current deputy secretary of state john joseph sullivan that's the man set to replace john huntsman deputy secretary of state john joseph sullivan that's the man set to replace john huntsman in self has been criticized for failing to improve relations with moscow. hawking himself has
