first, all the labor department the labor department was worried. they said, wait a sec, i'm going to bring in all these workers from mexico. isn't that going to bring wages down? you know, if we're actually bringing in all these workers to come in specifically to do low wage agricultural work, then they're not competing with american workers. this means that wages are going down. second, we i am s immigration and also worried about this program. they're worried that this is going to lead to more undocumented workers. right. these mexicans are going to come into the united states. are they really going to go back? are they going to stay in the united states? so there's definitely skepticism on the point of view of the us government or branches of it about the brought zero program and initially it's only supposed to be temporary. it's an emergency situation. this is world war two. we need to get these crops picked. we don't have enough workers. but the program, as you can see, lasts for over 20 years. and it becomes central to american agricultural l

k is labor party hill? it's internal divisions, and al jazeera investigation reveals how and elected officials undermine format liter. jeremy proven, and anyone who supported him with british politics in turmoil could this effect labors chances of returning power. this isn't i store ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm ron carl. and our desert investigation has exposed accusations of dirty tricks and manipulation within the u. k. so position labor party, hundreds of thousands of internal documents, emails, and social media messages have been revealed and one of the biggest leeks in british political history. the 1st of a 3 part series reveals how labors own bureaucrats undermined former leader jeremy colbin. he was in charge from 2015 to 2020, his father left a socialist policies, galvanized young voters party membership doubled, but the leak documents show party managers silencing, discrediting and expelling colbin supporters. some former members spoke to out there is investigative unit, revealing more of

a new kind of specialization of labor and and it's a specialization of labor by gender. he puts more and more of the agricultural work the field work on responsibility of the enslaved women, whereas more and more of the enslaved men are working as artists and craftsmen, but it's a very carefully constructed program to to take the labor that he had it on firm in the slave labor and to apply it to new kinds of farming washington understood that what he was trying to do was unprecedented and certainly he was not going to get any advice on our suggestions from the british agricultural treatises. he wrote i mean that he read and he devises a new kind of supervision of the enslaved. is original to him and it allows him to supervise labor much more closely than he ever had before. he devises these weekly work reports which eventually are kept in the format of of bookkeeping formatted even though there's no money. i mean transferred not know a monetary values being recorded but rather each plantation is in rec is indented for the number of flavors. they had and then credited for

the labor party has done nothing. it says that, that, li jay, with this type of crisis did you read you? read the majority of britain's black and minority ethnic population vote labor one of the 2 parties that govern the u. k. also, i welcome. thank you all from all the different communities that have come in and i in britain, lack asian and minority. i think people unknown as bane, tens of thousands joined the labor party after the election of jeremy colbin as a leader in 2015 our party is going to, i hope, become more inclusive or involved more democratic. among the new members is marcia hutchinson. i was really impressed with the policies that jeremy colbin was putting forward and i thought this can make a difference and i can help make that difference. ah, is the polity of equality for all the party, those pioneers, every progressive initiative to root out racism wrong off society. now he was a lifelong anti racist campaigner. and the champion of palestinian writes, he challenged established politicians in his own

let's forget any internal labor party workings, but there are going to be a lot of angry labor party members sent was we've spoken to who want a clean house. they want reform that's going to have an impact. well, yeah, there will be, but i think that the conference that i'm going to keep it the gender if they can. i mean, i agree, it publicly like about to saying this is all in the past and let's move forward and so on and so forth. and, but actually it does still present practical problems, the kids and i also agree that the conservatives are trying to make it as easy as possible to stop by moving. but i think you're trying to re run, you know, factories from the eighty's, which gives labor a lot space. but the trouble for star practically is that a lot of like party membership, disaffected 3rd party members have left on the storm. i've resigned a membership or been kicked out. those tend to be the people who go around and deliver leaflets and knock on doors and all that kind of thing. the part is really in a financial situation because of loss. membership money from all the ex memb

washington increases his need for enslaved labor and his demand for enslaved labor after the transition to eat. through most of his life, he is able to find work for the enslaved laborers. it's only in the mid to late 17 90s that he kind of decides he has more labour then he can productively employ. another question, did washington's agricultural activities affect his presidency? i would say yes, very much so. he sees himself as an agricultural representative of the united states. he puts together a remarkable survey of american agriculture. it's not a part of his official duties. but he receives a request from a leading agricultural list in great britain, and washington calls on a number of leading farmers who are part of the government. mostly thomas jefferson, and he puts together this extensive report on american farming. he also tries a very hard to get congress to endorse an institution like the british parliament had established. he also recommended national legislation, so he begins to see more active role for government and the promotion of agriculture. congress does not pass t

in the labor party. as a kind of civil war between the left in the right where each faction trying to rest control party. and so yes is disappointing and it doesn't bode well full of potential feature governance. but i suppose that the key points is the divided parties don't win elections. i doesn't make any sense to the party to be fighting a battle against the left. now, i just as a know, just as though the right party was fighting the left while the left was actually in, in power in the night party. and i think that the really the leisure pastor to look at the case, the public is not going to be attracted by party, which is focusing more on kind of purging one wing of itself. that naturally speaking to the country, i'm going to bring in a, bring back alex, hey, alex, in london as well. alex, i have heard the actually this needs to be looked at by the leadership. we've been actually speaking to members of my team and i of members of the low party all day to try and get their sense of this. and the over

we concentrate on force labor. and what we're seeing today is that the total number of 1st labor is on any one day in the world. comes out at 27600000. and that's 2700000 more than the last time we reported. so we're going in the wrong direction. this report also says the pandemic is helping fuel and uptick. can you tell us more about that? yeah, i mean, i think if you look at all of the origins and of course is a false labor vulnerability, and poverty is at the heart of many of them. coven. 19, i think, is exacerbated. we seen it throughout the world in different ways, has made people move. honorable has made poverty more prevalent and these are conditions which enable forced labor to increase. but i would warm against just putting these numbers at the door of co it and saying that's it. there is some evidence that the numbers were going up, and by the way, the same is true of child labor. even before the pandemic hit us, and i think more than just cove it, i think we have to accept that we have taken our eye off

the non jews in the labor party. people have written about the false allegations. renters, emerson, people have written about their experience of m a. there are increasing angry with israel post recall learned and you see much we what we're all old. our parents were holocaust victims effect. didn't my mother skipped upon them? how dare they tell us, anticipate they can, how dare they challenges that we don't know what anti semitism is, the leaders of jewish groups that support israel hold a zoom call with the labor party spokesman on communities and local government. steve read the plan is to discuss anti semitism. wow. what the conversation quickly turns to beady as the campaign to boycott israeli goods and divest from the country in order to pressure israel to end its occupation of palestinian land. israel is deeply concerned about b d. s. and the british conservative party has agreed to introduce legislation making it illegal for public bodies to boycott israel. the labor files contained the minutes of the meeting

and when the deep state part, labor party officials, who really did not like labor and worked very hard to discredit him and his supporters well, in the periods of jeremy kobus leadership, there was a very fractious atmosphere in the labor party. i haven't seen the detailed cases being put forward in your investigation. what i do know is that in this period, the labor party seems to be in a mass which translated into a very poor performance in the opinion polls and subsequently in the 2019 election more seriously than that the labor party was no longer regard to the safe space, the jewish members, and not really impacted on the image and reputation of the party with the public and talk which historically had seen itself as the party. the quality was seen as a party afflicted by accusations bounty, semitism, that situation was untenable. so it's not surprising that were certainly criticisms of jeremy coping leadership, but do you believe that labor did have an anti anti semitism problem under corbin? well, it did because what happened was that the membership of the party had expanded eno
