Good afternoon. It's Friday, the seventh of June twenty twenty four, just
0:14
after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Collum News. I'm your host, Mike
0:16
Robinson. Joining me today we get Ben Rubin and Debbie Evans. Welcome to
0:21
the program. Both. We're going to get started off with something that most
0:24
people probably will not find surprising, and that is the litst press release from
0:29
the World Health Organization on ivian flu. So this is following the death of
0:35
a man in Mexico, apparently with ivian flu A, which is H five
0:39
and two, and this is the first time that anyone has been infected with
0:43
this particular so called variant. So let's have a look at what they're saying
0:46
here. On May. On the twenty third of May twenty twenty four,
0:49
the Mexico International Health Regulations National Focal Point reported to the WHO a confirmed fatal
0:56
case of human infection with ivian influencer A brackets five to virus detected in a
1:00
resident of the State of Mexico who was hospitalized in Mexico City. This is
1:06
the first laboratory confirmed human case of infection with an influenza A virus that's H
1:11
five N two reported globally, and the first IVY and H five virus infection
1:15
and a person reported in Mexico, So they sorry, that's so. On
1:21
May the twenty third, the Mexico IHR NFP reported a confirmed case. They
1:26
went on to say that the person who was hospitalized in Mexico had no history
1:32
of exposure to poultry or other animals. The case had multiple underlying medical conditions,
1:37
So here we go. He didn't what did he actually die of?
1:41
Because he had multiple underlying medical conditions. The case had already been bed ridden
1:45
for three weeks for other reasons prior to the onset of acute symptoms, So
1:49
where did this come from and what actually was it? So we put that
1:53
back on screen. The next one says that results from real time polymer is
1:59
chin reaction test of a respiratory sample collected and tested I and ER on the
2:04
twenty fourth of April indicated a non subtype of influenza A virus. On the
2:08
eighth of May, the sample was sent for sequencing to the Laboratory of Molecular
2:13
Biology of Emerging Diseases Center for Research in Infectious Diseases, of which indicated that
2:20
the sample was positive for influenza A. So they did a PCR test and
2:23
then they sent it for sequencing, but then they did another PCR test.
2:28
On the twentieth of May, the sample received at the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis
2:32
and Reference of the Mexico National Influenza Center for analysis by rtPCR, obtaining a
2:38
positive result for influenza A. And then on the twenty second of May,
2:43
sequencing of the sample confirmed the influence of some subtype was a brackets H five
2:47
and two. So it had the sample had a PCR test done on it,
2:53
then it had genetic sequencing done on it, then it had another PCR
2:55
test on it, and then it had further genetic sequencing done on it.
3:00
And you've got to ask the question, could they not get the answer the
3:02
first time round that they were wanting, so they kept testing until perhaps they
3:07
did so the first question in my mind is what is this all about?
3:10
Are they really going to attempt to push through the idea of Lockdown's PCR testing
3:19
vaccination? Could be could be that, but I suspect that the reason is
3:23
more likely to be this. So we know that one of the millennium development
3:28
goals and the one of the goals of net zero policy is to reduce red
3:34
meat meat intake, in fact all meat intake and meat and dairy chickens.
3:39
These types of things have been under attack this type of farming for quite a
3:44
long time. We cannot forget the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK where
3:49
the slaughtered on suspicion policy was brought in based on the modeling of Neil Ferguson
3:55
at Imperial College. And we have seen kisses, many kisses around the UK
4:01
in the last few months and a couple of years in fact of poultry flocks
4:06
being slaughtered on mass again on suspicion because maybe one kiss of bird flu was
4:14
found in the flocks, so the entire flock had to go. We've got
4:17
to keep in mind as well that there is a policy here. The EU
4:21
calls it farm the fork. It's also called farm to fork in the UK
4:25
as well. This is the eused document farm to Fork for a fair,
4:29
healthy and environmentally friendly food system And of course this is what this is part
4:34
of an inim to build a global governance policy and network for f fork strategy
4:45
will bring in digital security certificates so food as is produced from the farm to
4:49
the plate will have to be tracked all the way through the process, and
4:55
the standards and rules are increasingly intended to exclude meat and dairy. So there
5:01
are quite a number of potential benefits of this entire narrative for the World Health
5:06
Organization the United Nations in general. But Debbie, I'll just be interested in
5:11
your thoughts on it, because you know, we have a very clear agenda
5:15
to remove or reduce significantly the use of meat for food across the world,
5:24
and they are pushing this policy very hard and this helps. Yeah, good
5:30
afternoon, And apologized to anybody that thinks that I'm sitting in a cave.
5:34
I'm afraid my computer at the very last minute decided to change all the settings
5:39
and so it looks as though I'm in this. But yes, Mike avian
5:44
flu there's many strands to this, actually, not just fear the PCR tests.
5:49
I mean they're looking for things, They're desperate to find things. Let's
5:53
not forget Bill Gates GERM team. But there's much more to follow on this,
5:58
and I've got more to say. Perhaps we can talk about it on
6:00
Extra yes, Okay, Well, in the meantime, Debbie, there has
6:05
been a report in the UK of an outbreak of ecoli right across the country.
6:10
I think one hundred cases are so so far, and so far they
6:13
seem to be saying that this is probably linked to some kind of supermarket product.
6:18
But you've been talking about ecoli and the raising of the profile of echoli
6:25
with respect to health and humans in the UK for quite some time. Yes,
6:30
I have, indeed, Mike, and this is what I think is
6:33
part of a very big agenda. And I'd like people to take note because
6:39
yesterday was D Day. It was the sixth of June twenty twenty four,
6:44
and last night I put out a little tweet, but it seemed to gain
6:48
quite a lot of attention. As much as I hate watching myself, let's
6:53
look at the tweet that I put out last night. Today is the sixth
6:58
of June twenty four, D Day. Today the uk HSA have put out
7:04
an urgent alert with regards to Ecoli contamination. This apparently has been spread through
7:13
an unnamed food source and has hospitalized many people. On the sixth of June
7:18
twenty twenty three, I wrote in my blog, which can be found on
7:24
the UK column website. The Wild Health Organization appears to map each country to
7:30
the pathogen most likely to cause a problem. Is this a forecast of what
7:33
is to come? Are we to expect multiple epidemics in different countries, perhaps
7:40
a simultaneous polycrisis, a health polycrisis. It could be that some parts of
7:46
Western Europe, including the UK, could be about to see a rise in
7:50
ecoli and cryptosporidium, which also involves contaminated water and poorly tummies. I don't
7:58
believe in coincidences. This was written exactly a year ago today, when an
8:05
Ecoli outbreak has been announced. For many months, I have been warning of
8:11
something called antimicrobial resistance, where they will say that antibiotics no longer work and
8:20
that because of a superbug, we're all going to need super antibiotics or mRNA
8:26
vaccines against antimicrobial resistance. Please keep tune to UK column watch tomorrow at one
8:33
o'clock where I will be revealing much much more. But please, and what
8:43
I said right at the end was please remember that you heard it here first
8:46
at UK column because what I want to just show you and I'm going to
8:50
use this a little snapshot so ITV news. This was one of the mainstream
8:54
media stories that covered this yesterday. UK wide eco light outbreak. What do
9:00
we know so far? Dated the sixth of June, exactly one year to
9:03
the day that I wrote my blog. So for a change, I'm going
9:07
to look in at Thames Water. As you know, I have a good
9:11
relationship with the water companies and I just want you to see that they have
9:16
their own enhancement case for long term water quality strategy on cryptosporidium and focusing straight
9:24
in on Thames. Carrying on, you'll see that the Mail was running a
9:28
story recently urging urging an urgent do not drink water to hundreds of homes in
9:35
Surrey after a fuel leak, and this was all after the Bricksom incident of
9:41
cryptosporidium in Devon. They also covered another story in the Mail. I believe
9:48
it was where they were warning of very similar They were warning, sorry,
9:52
this is the standard May twenty twenty four. They're carrying out tests for vomiting
9:56
and sickness. They never said actually what form or are you getting the feeling
10:01
perhaps that water companies are getting super bad press with all the news that we've
10:05
heard about sewage etc. Just saying so take note of that for a few
10:11
minutes now, I just want you to point you to my blog. Now,
10:16
my blog was dated the sixth of June twenty twenty three. Please go
10:20
back and have a look at it because I actually did write a very chunky
10:24
piece about ecoli. This is what I said in the video. So if
10:28
you want to go and see, I don't have a crystal ball. I
10:31
just do sixteen hours of research every single day. So if you want to
10:35
go and see the document that the World Health Organization are mapping crypto spridium and
10:41
ecoli, then all the links are in my blog. If you go to
10:46
the next slide, I'm just taking a few little snippets from the blog,
10:50
but you'll see that I was linking it directly to antimicrobial resistance, and you
10:56
can see an article there antimicrobial resistance could kill us before time change. And
11:01
the final little snippet that I've taken from my blog is ecoli. This was
11:05
my opinion. Ecoli plus antimicrobial resistance and enteroviruses are both being made big,
11:13
big issues deliberately in my opinion, not just globally, but specifically in the
11:18
West. The UK appears to be leading the way. So once again we
11:26
bring you the news first at UK Column and there is that big article in
11:31
my blog, but keep tuned because there's more to come on this, much
11:33
more. And if you want to know if there's an ecol vaccine, of
11:37
course there is. Yes. Okay, thank you, Debbie, And we'll
11:41
have more on anti microbuilt resistance a little bit later. But ben last week
11:46
we were talking about the B Team, but there's been a bit of movement
11:50
on this. There has absolutely been some movement on this. There's been a
11:56
big development this week as it relates to the B Team and also the issue
12:01
of female leaders and the big drive globally to put women into positions of power
12:07
and importantly to keep them in positions of power. It seems to be a
12:11
bit of a challengers will come on too. So it starts here with the
12:16
B Team, who I spoke about last week. So this is an international
12:20
group focused on delivering a global agenda, top level business and political leaders getting
12:26
together to talk about the future of humanity. And we're going to focus in
12:31
on the lady you can see in the center there with the microphone. Who
12:35
is this woman, Hallah Thomas Dotter, And she's the chief executive of the
12:41
B Team. But this week she's just been voted in as the President of
12:46
Iceland. So this is a very top level group. You said last week,
12:50
the B Team is the top level group. You've got Richard Branson there,
12:52
You've got top level political people there. She has just been made the
12:56
head of State for Iceland. What do we know about her? So let's
13:01
have a little look at her profile on the Council for Inclusive Capitalism page.
13:07
So she's a member of Linda Rothschild's Council for Inclusive Capitalism. This tells her
13:11
that she started off her career in the corporate world at Mars and Pepsi Coylo
13:16
before getting into politics. She has been given a lot of coverage, not
13:22
least by the B Team, who are very excited as you'd expect, saying
13:26
that Iceland have gained an exceptional leader today who is going to advance the courageous
13:31
leadership she championed at the B Team, in which the world so urgently needs.
13:37
She was also given a little nude from the Goals House for people who
13:43
are championing the sustainable development goals they say here. As CEO of the B
13:48
Team, she has been a dedicated participant at Goals House since its launch and
13:56
is a passionate champion for the global Goals, so she's now ahead of that.
14:00
She's also representing the SDG, she's also representing the Rothschild family and a
14:05
whole lot of other interests alongside that. Interesting. Now one organization which also
14:11
jumped in to pass on their congrat congratulations with this one, the RECUVIC Global
14:18
Forum. We've spoken about quite a few times recently. So this is an
14:22
international community of female leaders, very heavily represented at Davos and elsewhere, and
14:30
they say that their explicit goal is a world in which men and women are
14:35
viewed as equally suitable to lead. Now that goal has been under some threat
14:41
over the past twelve months, and let's hear about that from this recent event,
14:48
this recent panel discussion held at the RECUVIC Global Forum at the end of
14:54
last year. The long haul, how can we sure women retain power?
15:03
The question, the challenge has long been how can we elevate women into high
15:07
positions of leadership? Increasingly the challenges not just to get there, to get
15:15
elected, but to be re elected. We've seen in twenty three numerous cases,
15:20
just Sinda our Dern, Susana chaputoa san No Maarian Nicola Sturgeon, Sigrid
15:28
Khag all this year have chosen to step aside from high office, arguably at
15:33
the peak of their powers, because of the stresses on themselves and their families.
15:41
These are not isolated cases. Studies show disproportionate pressure on women is systemic.
15:48
The Interparliamentary Union interviewed eighty one female parliamentarians from forty European countries. Eighty
15:54
five percent of them experienced psychological violence such as sexist remarks or intimidating behavior,
16:04
well nearly half of them. Half of them received threats of rape, beatings
16:11
or death. Now, I want to be sober about what we're dealing with
16:17
here the house. It's not on fire to borrow from news of the day.
16:26
The volcano is exploding. Yeah, Ben, The first thing I would
16:32
say about that is just to take two names. Jacinda Ardarn. Was she
16:37
forced out of her position because of misogyny or was she forced out of her
16:41
position because she was behaving like an absolute fascist during the COVID time? And
16:47
as for Nicholas Sturgeon, was she forced out because of misogyny or was she
16:51
forced out because of corruption? Well, those are very very good questions and
16:59
good examples like because the line that we're being fed here is that it was
17:03
the awful sexist who drove them out of office, but in reality, it
17:08
was their own behavior, their own policies. And you know, when you
17:14
dig into this, that's ultimately what this is all about. I think there's
17:18
there's a whole lot in there to unpack. The first one is the idea
17:21
that the volcano is exploding. Yeah, this is there's so much drama being
17:26
loaded into this. And just for the record, I will say that I
17:30
will certainly never condone threats of violence. I don't think that anyone should be
17:33
being threatened with rape or beatings or death or anything like that, right,
17:38
I don't believe that that's correct. Behavior shouldn't be going on. But then
17:42
the idea that there is this thing called psychological violence is crazy to me.
17:51
And the idea that sexist remarks in heaven forbid, that we might be subjected
17:56
to some sexist remarks on the internet politicians, I mean, it's really laughable
18:02
for stuff that's being complained about here, right, And this idea that the
18:07
pressure on women is disproportionate, Frankly, I don't believe it. It might
18:11
be that women are disproportionately incapable of dealing with that pressure ultimately, which seems
18:17
to be the issue here. So who was that doing the speaking? That
18:21
was Rick Zednik. This fellow here, he's actually running for the European Parliament.
18:26
I'm just going to use the word obsequious to describe that little introduction that
18:32
he gave here. And he did have three former heads of state on stage
18:36
with him, So Taja Hallanan so the former President of Finland, and she
18:42
talks about the emergence of twenty four hour social media and how that made it
18:48
really difficult for Sanam Marin to be in office. She was the Prime Minister
18:52
of Finland who left there last year and is now prostituting herself to the Tony
18:56
Blair Institute for Global Change. That's what Santa Marin is up to now and
19:02
now that she stepped out of political office. We also had on stage Dahlia
19:07
ribber Skater, former President of Lithuania. I really liked this woman. Actually,
19:11
she had a great energy about her. She described herself as the Iron
19:15
and Magnolia. He's like something out of a Bond film from the eighties.
19:19
She's a black belt in martial arts and very sensibly. She said, it's
19:22
not about gender, it's about your personality. Yeah, and people like people
19:26
who are willing to step up and take responsibility for the well being of their
19:30
country completely agree with you. And then the third head of state or former
19:34
head of state was this lady Simonetta Sommaruga. I'm saying that correctly. She's
19:40
former president of Switzerland, and she talked a lot about this word hate and
19:45
the need for protections online and the way that leaders are isolated by the mob,
19:52
and that you have a wave of hate coming at you whenever you say
19:56
anything, and that ninety five percent of the hate comes from just five percent
20:00
the accounts online. They really want to legislate against freedom of speech and people
20:06
having their own opinions. You know, this is really totalitarian stuff when you
20:11
dig into it, but it's presented as being kind and empathetic. Now,
20:15
there's a little clip here that I'm going to share from Simileet to Samaruga,
20:19
which I think gives an interesting insight into what's going on behind the scenes.
20:26
I wanted to have to attack the problem of women trafficking, so the reaction
20:30
was, but there's no women trafficking in our country. In Switzerland. No,
20:34
no, no, in all the other countries, but not in our
20:37
country. And I said, no, if we look at where there is
20:41
women traffic, if you want to see it, then we will find these
20:45
women and we have to work on that. And I worked together with the
20:48
police, with the women protection organizations. I went to other countries, to
20:52
Serbia, to Romania together with the police over there, with the angels over
20:56
there. And I think this is a thing I would say for all the
21:00
women, because I was talking about the thin air. We have to work
21:06
together. We have to around us with those people who want to work together
21:10
with us, and not have included everybody, but those who really want to
21:15
achieve in our direction. We have to take them with us. And I
21:18
think this is female leadership and with that we can achieve quite a lot.
21:26
The two important points from that, The first one is that she's concerned with
21:30
human trafficking. I think it's absolutely something she should be concerned about and that
21:33
all politicians and the whole of society frankly should be looking into. And a
21:38
lot of what a lot of what gets discussed at these events, and you
21:42
should go and look at. The longer talk is the women are somehow solely
21:49
interested. It's only them who are interested in human rights, it's only them
21:52
that are interested in things like human trafficking, It's only them that are interested
21:56
in the future of humanity. Ultimately, I think that that's a ridiculous statement,
22:02
a ridiculous position to be taken. And then the second thing was what
22:06
she said towards the end there, which is that women need to work together
22:11
and find people who are amenable to their way of doing things, even if
22:15
that ends up dividing the nation that you're leading, right as you very clearly
22:19
said, we can't take everyone on this journey with us. You know,
22:22
the job of the leader is to unite the nation to carry it forward.
22:26
And what she's saying is that, actually, women aren't going to do that,
22:29
they can't do that, and actually we need to take a different approach.
22:32
And I think that's incredibly destructive, even in spite of, you know,
22:37
the best intentions of trying to fight back against corruption and human traffiing and
22:41
that kind of thing. So we've basically provided with a list of all of
22:47
the excuses and all the reasons why women leaders fail, And for me,
22:49
that's really right of the root of the issue is that if you're a leader,
22:55
you have to take responsibility. You can't blame it on those people over
22:57
there or those people over there saying nasty things about you on the internet.
23:02
Right, You've got to take responsibility and I think that's the most important thing.
23:06
Okay, thank you, Let's move on. If you like what the
23:07
UK Column does, you'd like to support us. The place to go and
23:11
support dot UK column dot org. The options for helping us out are there.
23:15
We do need your support and we can only do what we do with
23:19
your help. You could share anything you find on the various platforms, but
23:25
do remember that Facebook is apparently not available to us at the moment, and
23:30
please do pick up anything that you like at the UK Column shop now.
23:34
Debbie, very briefly, your blog isn't up yet, but it will be
23:38
this afternoon. What have you got for us this week? Your prostates is
23:45
one message? And yes I did get a text, it wasn't from Love
23:48
Island. I wasn't very amused. If you want to know more, have
23:52
a look and yeah, traffic lights and new color plenty more as well.
23:56
Okay, thank you, and a reminder that we will be hosting an online
24:03
event on the sixteenth of June, beginning at ten am. That's a Sunday
24:07
UK Column Live. A whole bunch of UK Column presenters will be taking part
24:11
in that. Do join us for it if you possibly can, And if
24:14
you don't manage to make that, perhaps you can get along to the size
24:17
of Beautiful Festival in Wimbourne, en Dorset on the twenty seventh of June twenty
24:22
seventh to thirtieth of June. We will all be there, so join us
24:26
there if you can. And Debbie, we have a bit of news about
24:32
the MHRA board meeting. Well it's an unad Have you ever heard of an
24:37
unadd before? Because luckily I took a screenshot of when the next MHRA board
24:44
meeting was going to be and it was day June Rain's last board meeting her
24:47
Swan Song where we were all going to wait for goodbye on Tuesday the ninth
24:51
of July twenty twenty four. So we were looking forward to that and thanks
24:55
to Paul for letting me know because he was trying to get tickets for it
24:59
as I was, and all of a sudden it's gone. So is this
25:03
the first unadvert that UK column are putting out but where is it gone?
25:07
And please could everybody write in and ask where has the board meeting gone and
25:12
why yes, and maybe ask for it to be reinstated, because we want
25:18
to offer Dame June the final opportunity to answer some questions. Okay, thank
25:23
you, wie Ni. Let's come on to Africa and well. First of
25:29
all, here is the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He has been in
25:34
Guinea, Congo, Burkina Faso and Chad over the last few days. Is
25:38
the Deputy Defense Minister Yukiov has been visiting Libya, Mali and Niger. So
25:45
they've been taking separate trips and so these are really the efforts to gain some
25:52
traction in Africa against what's been going on for at least the influence of western
25:59
parts, including the US, UK and France and the United States. So
26:02
these are the countries that they have been or at least the Russia has influence
26:07
in already. So the ones in pink there or sort of reddish color are
26:11
places where there's already some military deployment. The countries that are marked in yellow
26:17
are places where there's already a defense agreement with Russia, but their main point
26:22
here is that they're really aiming to strengthen economic engagement in these countries in various
26:29
sectors, especially in nuclear energy, and they're aiming to mitigate the impact of
26:36
pressure between these countries Russia and the West. So they're attempting to, shall
26:42
we see, develop new export markets for these places as well. And they
26:47
of course also want to garner some new political allies in the region. And
26:53
we've seen for example France for the French military and also the US military being
26:59
being expelled from a number of countries in the Sahel. And as we were
27:03
talking about Monday's programmer Friday last week, I can't remember which we were talking
27:10
about the fact that the Sahel is sort of the men viewed as the men
27:15
stomping ground of the European Union. They consider that their southern neighborhood. It's
27:19
a place where Tony Blair and his institute is very interested in operating. So
27:25
there is a definite effort to counter any Chinese or Russian influence in the region.
27:30
And the fact that they are working so hard to develop these markets,
27:34
particularly since the sanction regime was imposed, makes us a real hotbed for potential
27:41
escalation in the future. In the meantime, many of those African countries taking
27:47
part in the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum, which is going on at the
27:51
moment, and we have a little bit of video of Vladimir Putin talking about
27:56
He was talking on the sidelines of the conference's men's speech is happening right at
28:00
this moment, I believe, or it may just be over, but anyway,
28:03
he was talking about the situation with Nero and the narrative of Russia wanting
28:07
to take over Europe. Let's have a lesson to this or watch the subtitles.
28:11
At least you know the fea Aubrara guy is racie it. But the
28:22
pre see who should another was Brian st to watch the coat stool a predomble
28:30
shoes Brian saba, no bib at biba the ystu craolc solution and I should
28:49
the prology and then no crayon as literated deal. We just ready substant named
28:56
Piers, what literuated deal is? What led you it to Guruzi, the
29:02
pole burgher of Germaenuva France in Europe? What did you do it? I'm
29:17
going to say, I find it very hard to argue with that particularly with
29:19
the escalation in Ukraine. Now, we were talking about the fact that Ukraine
29:25
has now been given to go ahead to attack targets inside Russia using Western weapons,
29:30
and somebody had commented the to me that, of course this has been
29:33
going on for quite some time. Well, that's true, but it's it's
29:37
the targets that have been selected more recently that are of concern here. Particularly
29:41
so this is a responsible state craft website here. Droning Russia's nuke radars is
29:47
the dumbest threat thing Ukraine could do, and this is the point. The
29:49
latest targets have been Russia's nuclear early warning systems, and of course this is
29:56
a direct attack on Russia's nuclear in structure and that escalates things somewhat. So
30:03
you know, Putin has been absolutely clear now that this is absolutely unacceptable.
30:07
So he's basically saying that if Russia is attacked, it has the legal right
30:11
to retaliate. Such accent actions could lead to a major disaster, effectively world
30:17
War three, and I think that's absolutely right, and the danger in what
30:22
we are doing at this point in the West is off the charts. And
30:26
the other point to make was, you know, just listening to Joe Biden
30:30
at the D Day commemoration yesterday was quite incredible as he used that as an
30:37
opportunity to suggest or draw parallels between what's happening with Ukraine and what happened during
30:44
the Second World War. And just to end this segment, I just want
30:47
to bring this on screen because this is the Telegraph and we just always got
30:52
to watch the headlines and see the types of language that they're using. So
30:56
the headline on this article yes from today actually or yesterday, it was Russian
31:02
warships sent the Caribbean for surprise wargames. So when the Russians are doing it,
31:07
it's wargames because it's all about war. When we're doing it, it's
31:11
a training exercise and you've got to be So the headline from this one is
31:15
picture of the HMS Prince of Wales's full steam ahead in NATO training exercise.
31:19
This is a steadfast defender that we talked about earlier in the year because this
31:23
is the biggest NATO exercise that's taken place ever, and so I just thought
31:30
it was interesting the contrast the language that's used in those two cases, because
31:37
Russia is all about war and we're all about peace, aren't we, Debbie.
31:41
Let's come back on to the issue of anti microbial resistance. Yes,
31:45
let's and apologies again that I'm sitting in the dark, But people ask me
31:51
a lot what is coming next? What do I think is coming next?
31:52
Is it av and flu? Is it? This? Is it? That?
31:55
Is it? Whatever? It is? Anti microbi or resistance, according
31:59
to the WHO is one of the top global emerging threats fact. Now,
32:04
this is a really big subject and it's a subject that I'm going to be
32:07
doing a one off special with Cheryl Granger, especially on antimicrobial resistance. But
32:14
I think that it could be a dark winter ahead. What have they got
32:17
planned for us? Well, I'll just say hashtag walking pneumonia. Keep an
32:22
eye out for walking pneumonia. There's going to be more to come. But
32:27
is this an attack on the gut biome? Now, I've got a lot
32:29
to get through. So it's going to be slides fairly quickly. So bear
32:32
with me because this is just an overview of a huge, huge subject.
32:37
So let's start off with antibiotic guardian and now you're going to have to get
32:42
well soon without antibiotics. Now just note that without antibiotics, So where are
32:50
we going to go from there? Well, according to Kings, today,
32:53
we're living in an age where antimicrobials could on average put twenty years on your
33:00
life if we save antibiotics. Now, this paper came out in twenty seventeen,
33:07
but it's a bigger gender for TEDROS and the who. Let's listen to
33:12
what TEDROS says about antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobia resistance or AMR threatens to send us
33:22
back to a time whenever minor infections were untreatable. Already, MR contributes to
33:30
nearly five million doses every year. These drug resistant infections are driven by the
33:37
misuse and overuse of anti microbials in both humans and animals. World MR Awareness
33:45
Week is an opportunity to draw attention to what all of us can do.
33:50
This means clean water, sanitation and hygiene, and infection prevention and control in
33:55
health facilities. It means vaccines for chill undred and older people and others most
34:02
at risk. It means responsible use of anti microbils in all sectors. And
34:09
it means a one held approach that recognize the links between the held of humans,
34:16
animals and our environment. Stopping AMR is a shared responsibility. Take note,
34:27
it's a shared responsibility. So in September, this September twenty twenty four
34:32
is a United Nations General Assembly High Level meeting on AMR. Now, this
34:38
is going to be a massive meeting and it's going to coincide with a lot
34:43
of social messaging that you're going to hear. When you go further into that
34:46
document, you can see the roadmap. So this all started in twenty fourteen
34:51
and here we are in twenty twenty four waiting for the UN General Assembly meeting.
34:58
But they clearly have calleded now a political declaration, a major milestone for
35:02
increased political action. So antimicrobial resistance has become a political football. And one
35:09
more slide on from that, you can see that we've got the private public
35:14
partnership also mentioned there, and at the bottom you'll see that the UK launches
35:20
world's first substitute for anti antibiotics supply. And of course what have we got
35:24
in the UK, But we've got the Fleming Center and we featured the Fleming
35:29
Center last week. This is at Saint Mary's Hospital, Paddington, and this
35:32
is going to be a center designed for the next five years to fight anti
35:38
microbial resistance. Now this is also a Labor Party campaign. You know,
35:44
this is a big political football. So here you can see on Labor list
35:47
antimicrobial resistance the biggest health challenge of our time. So again a political football.
35:55
I want you to look at the government's documents though, because they've got
35:59
a and their vision is not impressive. This document was published in two nineteen
36:05
and what it says is that one in three patients in hospitals in England are
36:09
on an antibiotic at any one time, and one in three individuals in England
36:15
takes at least one course of antibiotics every year. The report also goes on
36:21
to talk about a collaborative future. Now this collaborative future is with the same
36:25
old names that we're used to, the research community, the United Nations,
36:30
the European Union G seven, G twenty. We're looking at industry, private
36:36
sector, but take notes, we're looking at the patients, the public and
36:40
in particular we're looking at animal owners. So just take note. But what
36:45
have we got to do. We've got to be ready, willing and engage
36:46
because this is going to be up to us everybody. We have got to
36:51
do our duty. We have got to virtue signal to say that we won't
36:55
use antibiotics if we don't need to or when we don't need to. So
37:00
the Global AMR Innovation Fund otherwise known as GAMRIF, is to support early stage
37:09
innovative research in underfunded areas of antimicrobial resistance. Now, this again is a
37:16
private public partnership working with research organizations, governments and industry, and it's also
37:22
targeting the one health approach. But who runs this? So there are two
37:29
people that I want to highlight to run this in particular. There's lots of
37:32
them, but we're just for time going to keep it too. Christopher Egiton
37:37
Warburton is the chair of the Expert Advisory Group and will represent GAMERIF internationally.
37:44
And we've got Professor Keith Klugman there from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
37:47
So let's have a quick look at those two people. And there you can
37:51
see Christopher Egeton Warburton of Lion's Head. And if you look a bit further
37:57
you can see that he spent fourteen years at Goldman Sacho follow the money and
38:01
then very quickly onto Keith Klukman, Professor Keith Klukman at the Bill, Melinda
38:07
Gates Foundation. Now interestingly he specializes in pneumonia, as does Professor Graham Cook,
38:15
chair of the MHRA board. They are looking specifically at pneumonia, So
38:20
walking pneumonia and pneumonia for winter twenty twenty four I think we should be looking
38:24
at But let's not forget the UK has our very own special envoy for anti
38:30
microbial resistance, Dame Sally Davis. We have shown this before, but let's
38:36
just remind ourselves of a quick piece of video from her very good self.
38:43
We all know that without diagnostics, current new antibiotics will be incorrectly prescribed and
38:51
overused. That'll speed up the development of resistance and puts us all at increased
38:58
risk. Note the word they're diagnostics, because this is all about diagnostics.
39:13
This is about putting sticks up your nose and testing you for things. But
39:16
recently the government bought out this paper and this is a very very important paper.
39:22
Please can I get everybody to go and have a look at this Confronting
39:24
Antimicrobial Resistance twenty twenty four to twenty twenty nine. Let's go and look a
39:30
little bit further in because you'll see that what they've done is they've taken the
39:32
lessons from COVID and they're rolling them out now for antimicrobial resistance. So engagement
39:38
with industry, regulatory pathways will come onto that in a minute, and innovations
39:43
in vaccine technology just to name but a few. And of course we've got
39:47
to be a good global partner. The UK has got to play its part
39:52
in this, so we have to achieve the vision and it's the public in
39:55
the UK that have to become the good global partners. Going further on in
40:00
the document, I just want you to take special notice of this. Several
40:05
initiatives across the UK are in place to ensure that citizens know that water from
40:09
their taps is safe to drink and that their sewage waste is being properly managed
40:15
and treated. This includes regulation of water companies and monitoring of waterways, and
40:22
so regulators and water companies will play a vital role in this area. Now
40:25
we'll come on to a bit more about that in a minute, but also
40:30
in the documents it refers to Port and Down. What it says about Port
40:35
and Down is that it has a four bedded ward and isolation rooms with dedicated
40:39
heating, ventilation, air conditioning, realistic water and drainage systems, what to
40:45
look at to look at antibiotic resistance infections, and they're going to be looking
40:52
through a number of transmission routes fomites, aerosols, pathogen, but also hospital
40:59
water systems. I want you to take special note of hospital water systems.
41:04
Could this be going forward what we're going to be looking at. It also
41:07
mentions hospital laundry there too, And I have to say I've been barking on
41:10
about nurses uniforms for a very long time, but you know it affects the
41:15
kids too, because we have to target the young right, So courtesy of
41:19
the UKHSA, here's ebug and now we're going to be teaching three year olds,
41:23
three to sixteen year olds all about vaccines, all about antimicrobial resistance,
41:29
and all about hygiene. And there is a lovely little video to go with
41:31
that. Maybe we can look at it at another week in the news,
41:36
but they're definitely targeting the youngsters. And also in the paper is pace.
41:40
This is a thirty million pound program over five years. There's your Life,
41:45
there's your five years again Life arc Innovate Medicine's Discovery Catapults. I'm sure Headley
41:52
Reese will be very pleased to hear the word catapults, and this is going
41:54
to strengthen the pipeline. So you're going to get some nice new antimicrobial drugs
42:00
coming down the pipeline. But of course the MHRA are involved, and the
42:04
paper does mention the MHRA and says that they're going to be responsible for regulation
42:09
of all of these new drugs because it's very, very important. So let's
42:14
go on to see the new group that the MHRA have appointed and here they've
42:19
got one point eight million courtesy of the Department of Health and Social Care,
42:22
especially to look at how to fast track all these drugs coming down the pipeline.
42:30
So let's go to the MHRA blog. I did tell you there was
42:32
a lot and I'm trying to get through it as quickly as I can.
42:36
So the MHRA are deeming antimicrobial resistance as a looming global health emergency. They
42:43
also say that the unexpected potential solution to AMR could come in the form of
42:47
a bacterial vaccine. Well that's surprising, isn't it. So we're going to
42:52
be treating antimicrobial resistance with vaccines and we're going to be using novel needle free
42:59
delivery vaccine candidates for things like group A and B strep. Also, you'll
43:05
be pleased to know that the MHR are involved in a transatlantic task force on
43:08
antimicrobial resistance and they want to identify solutions to the problem that hasn't yet happened
43:16
as soon as possible, and just to we are going to be finishing up,
43:21
I promise you. But I just want to put out a warning because
43:23
it seems to be there though, targeting pregnant mums, saying to pregnant mums,
43:28
if you use antibiotics in pregnancy, this could affect your unborn baby.
43:34
And here they're using seboek dermatitis as an example. So what have we got
43:37
coming down the pipeline. Well, Oxford suggests we've got a novel triple drug
43:43
combination effective against antibiotic resistant bacteria. And I've just put the academic paper for
43:49
anybody that's interested to go and have a look at it. The triple combination
43:52
of merropenum, avir, bactum and metallo lactamase. None of it sounds good
43:59
at all, but please go and look at that. Also, we've got
44:02
mRNA vaccine platforms. Are they going to be the next solution, Well,
44:07
yes, it looks as though they are. And one on from that on
44:10
the conclusion, it says that mRNA vaccine platform could be a promising solution to
44:16
the challenge is currently encountered in AMR vaccine development, although the jury is still
44:22
out. I'm sure the jury won't be out for long. Antibiotic Research UK
44:27
they're talking also about could mRNA vaccines protect us from antibiotic resistant infections? So
44:34
what have we got to do? Well, we've all got to become antibiotic
44:37
guardians. This was started in two fourteen, but they're going to ramp it
44:40
up. Just note the names. They're British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Don't
44:46
we all associate chemotherapy with cancer? However, now it's associated with antimicrobial resistance.
44:53
And what are you going to do? Well, you're going to make
44:55
a pledge. You have to make a pledge to the United Kingdom government,
45:00
to the United Kingdom HSA. But you're going to be very good and you'll
45:04
make better use of antibiotics and you'll help save antibiotics from becoming obsolete. And
45:09
if you really want to go the full the full mile, you can buy
45:14
your very own antimicrobial lapel pin to show that you're virtue signaling. So that
45:20
was a quick shoe run around, but there's so much more to come.
45:23
Yeah, I mean, we're going to talk a bit more about this in
45:25
extra Debbie, but I wanted to just get your comment on the main news
45:30
about this comment about not using antibotics when we don't need to. I don't
45:35
believe there's anybody that that attempts to use antibiotics when they don't need to.
45:38
They're either fed them by their doctors. You know, that's basically the reason.
45:45
And you know, bearing in mind damage that antibiotics do to the gut
45:50
microbiome. This isn't something that people do as a matter of choice. They're
45:53
not trying to buy them off the shelves like Swedies. They are handed them
45:58
by the doctor for presumably medical reasons. Yeah, one hundred percent. And
46:05
I mean, you know, at the end of the day, this is
46:07
an assault on our gut biome at the end of the day. And who
46:10
says we're resistant to antibiotics? Are antibiotics being made, being manufactured a little
46:15
bit bit less powerful so that they don't work in order for us to think
46:20
that they don't work. There's a much bigger agenda here, Mike, and
46:22
perhaps we'll talk about because behavior is involved in this big time as well,
46:28
nudging, so maybe we'll talk about it a bit more in extra Okay,
46:31
thank you, Ben. Let's come on to you. And what's Imperial College
46:37
been up to. That's a very good question. Yes, you brought them
46:40
up earlier with Neil Ferguson's involvement in the COVID scenario. And they're running a
46:46
big event this week called Leading Systemic Innovation in Healthcare. Let's hear a bit
46:51
more about it. This is a really exciting time in health. We stand
47:00
at the dawn of the greatest changes in science, medicine, and technology.
47:05
But on the other hand, we have growing levels of ill health and sickness.
47:09
So our challenge is how do we reconcile these two worlds. So this
47:14
is the innovation challenge in front of us. Imperial is an ideal place to
47:22
explore these innovation challenges in healthcare. It has a great history of innovation.
47:28
It has a business school, but it also has a medical school and links
47:31
to hospitals, so it's embedded into this healthcare system and has therefore a three
47:37
hundred and sixty degree view of these kind of challenges. We will be covering
47:40
themes such as the future of healthcare. So we were looking at these major
47:45
trends and how they like to play out that shapes the landscape we're in.
47:49
We'll be investigating more deeply innovation as we currently see it through products and services,
47:53
but also extending that to systems innovation. How do we innovate our organizations
47:59
in the eco systems? This is an important piece that's often missing from thinking.
48:04
We'll then dive deeper into looking at some of these frontiers of what's happening
48:07
in genomics, personalized medicine, as well as AI and behavior change and other
48:15
dimensions that form the suite of capabilities required to be successful in healthcare. And
48:21
then we'll finish off with looking at how do we bring these innovations alive within
48:24
our organization at a faster pace than we're currently used to, and how do
48:29
we think about our organizations as cultural platforms for innovation. What does this mean
48:35
for leadership? What does it mean for the culture of change within our organization.
48:38
So there'll be some practical tools and insights that people can take away and
48:44
bring benefit to their organization. This program provides an ideal opportunity to bring people
48:50
from across the healthcare spectrum together into the same room. So this program is
48:54
going to give people an opportunity to meet peers across the healthcare spectrum together exploring
49:01
this shared innovation challenge of how we prove the quality and impact of healthcare at
49:08
life. So that is an event that is happening this week, is happening
49:15
right now leading systemic innovation in healthcare. It's an executive education program at Imperial.
49:21
Imperial heavily backed by the Gates Foundation, the source of a lot of
49:23
the misinformation it's led to the lockdowns and everything that we had to live through
49:29
back in twenty twenty and subsequently. The guy speaking with Andy Wilkins, he
49:35
describes himself as a futurist, always slightly suspicious of people who call themselves futurists,
49:39
to be honest with you, and he's very excited about AI genomics and
49:44
behavior change, which is the full suite of capabilities for healthcare systems leadership.
49:50
Right it is their little box of tricks that they've got to get you to
49:52
do things that you want, that they want you to do, and to
49:55
experiment on you. I was really quite taken with the the image at the
50:00
top there because what that is is a view inside the Digital Control Center.
50:05
You can see that it's the Imperial College London Centinel program delivered in partnership with
50:12
the Defense Science and Technology that ab at Porton down right, So this is
50:15
a joint partnership between them, and this is essentially the system's leader view of
50:21
all of the fake data coming from the dodgy PC artest that are going to
50:25
flash up on screen so they can play whack a mole across the country.
50:30
They've got the US up on the screen there, but the same thing absolutely
50:34
the same capability as in place and applies in the UK. There's another view
50:37
of it here you can see, which was in the video shared and basically
50:40
this is where they call the big shots centrally across the whole of the population.
50:46
I think that gives you a really interesting insight into how the whole system
50:52
operates in the background and how these big decisions got made. Now, talking
50:55
about dodgy data, I'm going to flip from a pandemic data and health data
51:00
into the into the climate debate. And you would have noticed over the past
51:05
few weeks. The people like the met off this have been trying to convince
51:09
us that it's been the hottest May on record, that we've been breaking all
51:13
sorts of barriers in terms of the heat that we've experienced in the country.
51:16
But anyone who actually lives in the country, has been in the country the
51:20
entire time, knows that that's complete nonsense. We've even seen snow in Scotland
51:23
over the past few weeks. Right, this just doesn't make sense. And
51:28
you hear a lot of people saying, oh, well, they're really getting
51:30
desperate now, you know, they're going to try and pull one over on
51:32
us, But we're not going to We're not going to go along with it.
51:35
But I think what it's important for people to understand and to remember is
51:37
that this isn't actually directed at you. This is directed at young people.
51:43
Right. So the people that have been completely immersed in this whole narrative through
51:47
their education and don't have the context. They don't they want alive in,
51:52
you know, the nineties or even earlier than that, for example, so
51:55
they don't know, right, so they very much go along with what they've
51:59
been told. They've jeed up into this climate anxiety, especially younger women,
52:04
right, and this certainly feeds into what I was talking about earlier in terms
52:07
of female leadership, and what you have is people like Greta Thnburg or people
52:12
like Clover Hogan, who you can see here in this Guardian article. He's
52:15
becoming much more prominent, essentially terrorizing young people to get them to go along
52:22
with whatever recommendations are made. In this instance, as it relates to the
52:27
energy system, it will be great British energy. This new nationalized energy system
52:37
the Labor Party is going to try and push through. They're going to push
52:38
it through not just on a climate issue, but also on a national security
52:44
issue. So he's talking about closing the door on Putin. This is Keir
52:47
Starmer. But obviously we know that it's not just about it's not just about
52:52
Russia. The Lammy has been playing kiss up to Zelenski. This is just
52:59
yesterday from the Deed celebrations, so you can see that the Labor leadership are
53:02
very much on the narrative as it relates to Ukraine. And actually the World
53:08
Economic Forum is just announced this week. This is actually last week. This
53:13
is a huge, huge development. They've just announced the new global Government Technology
53:17
Center in Kiev. This is going to focus on public private partnerships, digital
53:22
transformation and delivering the Fourth Industrial Revolution. That's what they're absolutely focused on,
53:30
and that's what this propaganda push is going to carry us into if we don't
53:36
pay closer attention to it. And then just the final one to wrap up
53:38
here. We've also seen this week the Sustainable Markets Initiative Terra Carta. They
53:45
had their big meeting over in New York, the s thirty group of Chief
53:47
Sustainability Officers attended by Arlo Brady representive Freud Group, Goals House hosted by ESDA
53:55
Ludo, which is connected to the Rothschild family. Eyd about at length previously,
54:00
and this is how again the narrative is being placed through by Team Global.
54:08
Yeah, okay, thank you. Now let's leave it with this article.
54:14
This is The Guardian and it's George Mombiat, the wonderful George Mombiat.
54:19
We all love him to bits, particularly when he's attacking people in his local
54:22
area on The Guardian totally without justification, but anyway, I hope everybody appreciates
54:28
the sarcasm and that general elections are a travesty of democracy, says let's give
54:32
the people a real voice. So let's have a look and see what he's
54:36
saying here. An election is a device for maximizing conflict and minimizing democracy.
54:42
Parties gained ground by sowing division and anger, often around trivial issues that play
54:46
to their advantage. Communities are set against each other. See how the Tories
54:51
appeal to their elderly base by treating young people as a problem to be solved
54:54
currently through national service. He doesn't say anything about how all politicians are treating
55:00
elderly people as a problem at the moment that need to be dealt with through
55:04
euthanasia. But anyway, that's not worry about that. He goes on to
55:07
say in David Van Raybrooks's excellent book Against Elections, he favors sortician and he
55:14
defined sortitionan as choosing members of political bodies by lottery. This is how much
55:19
of political life was run in ancient Athens and in Venice, Florence and other
55:22
European cities in the second millennium. And I will talk about Venice in the
55:27
second but remember that Florence was the home of the Florentine banking oligarchy or the
55:35
Lombard banking system, and of course that migrated through the Netherlands into the city
55:39
of London, which is why the streets in London are called Lombard Street,
55:44
and banks tend to have the word Lombard in them around the place. So
55:49
when we're looking at whether Florence or Venice should be held up as being the
55:53
bastion of the best way to be governed, well, get an idea of
55:59
what Florence, of what sorry Venice was like from this book The Bravo by
56:02
James Fennimore Cooper. If you haven't read it, read it, because what
56:07
is what we need to understand about Venice. First of all, it was
56:12
an oligarchy, so the dose was at the top, and it was absolutely
56:15
an oligarchy. Political assassination was commonplace, and the favorite weapon was the stiletto.
56:22
And well, maybe there's an argument for bringing all this back. I
56:25
don't know, maybe that's what Mombiat's calling for. I'm not sure that that's
56:30
terribly clear. But Ben, you know the issue of sortition. People still
56:37
don't quite grasp why this is important. Yes, well, I mean they're
56:43
going to completely transform. The plan is to completely transform the way that decisions
56:49
are made in the country. And it's not just Mombiot saying it. This
56:52
is Labor Party policy more or less. You know, Sue Gray, who
56:55
is effectively operating Case Arma, a big proponent of it. And the thing
57:00
that jumps out at me is just this idea that we're going to select people
57:04
by lottery. I don't want decision makers selected by lottery. I want the
57:07
best people in the room making the decision, not necessarily even on my behalf,
57:13
right, this is it. It's removing our voice and it's extremely dangerous.
57:20
Yeah. But on the other hand, people would argue that what we've
57:22
got at the moment is I mean, that's the argument he is making,
57:25
that what we've got is a disaster. But what he's suggests as we threw
57:30
the baby out with the bathwater, most people are forgetting that what the proposal
57:35
for sortition allows for an evil, even worse situation. And that's the point
57:39
that we've got to discuss further. But we will do that and extra as
57:44
well. But look, I just want to end today with a couple of
57:46
sort of and finally slides. So first of all, it's male article which
57:51
is quite staggering New Bridget Jones film being shot on the side of school falsely
57:57
accused of running a satanic pedophile ring. So this is the school at the
58:01
center of the allegations of satanic abuse, the child abuse in Hampstead. So
58:07
this is what they say, but it's unclear The mail says whether producers were
58:12
aware of the school's past before setting fictional North London school setting the fiction North
58:17
London school on its grounds. Christ Church Primary was recently the subject of a
58:22
Channel four documentary accused the Hampstead pedophile hoax, which shook up the quiet suburban
58:29
neighborhood in twenty fourteen, not just Channel four pseudo documentary but also a big
58:36
supposed expos by Tortoise Media as well. So we'll talk about that a little
58:40
bit more in extra, but I'll leave you with this because if you remember,
58:45
a few months ago, we mentioned the fact that the UK's early warning
58:50
system early warning radar system, which of course points towards Russia, was being
58:55
subverted by our own net zero policy because of course we'd been building wind farms
59:00
offshore off the east coast of England and that's the direction the radar points in
59:06
and these things scatter the radar, so unfortunately the radar wasn't working terribly well.
59:12
You'll be glad to know that the UK, this is defense I saying,
59:15
the UK pays to mitigate wind farm radar effects. You'll be glad to
59:20
know that we have set aside one billion pounds of Great British points in order
59:24
to mitigate the effect of our own net zero policy on our early warning radar
59:30
system, which is supposed to tell us when Putin is firing his nuclear missiles
59:36
at us. I find it incredible that we are wasting this money in this
59:39
way, but we can talk about that an extra perhaps as well. So
59:44
we've got to leave it there for today. So I'm going to say thank
59:45
you very much everybody that joined us, thanks to Ben and Debbie. We'll
59:49
see you in a few minutes if you're a UK column member on extra.
59:52
Otherwise, have a great weekend and we'll see it Monday as usual one pm.
59:55
Bye bye. At empty
