Speaker 1: Good afternoon. It's just gone one o'clock on Wednesday, the
0:12
Speaker 1: seventeenth of September twenty twenty five. Welcome to UK column News.
0:16
Speaker 1: I'm your host Charles Mallett and I'm joined in the
0:19
Speaker 1: studio today by Mike Robinson. Welcome to the program, Mike,
0:21
Speaker 1: Thank you Charles. We have Vanessa Billy joining via live
0:25
Speaker 1: link from Lebanon and Sandy Adams also on livelink from Somerset.
0:30
Speaker 2: Now.
0:30
Speaker 1: In today's program, we're going to be looking at the
0:32
Speaker 1: latest situation in Gaza as it continues to deteriorate unfortunately.
0:37
Speaker 1: We are going to explore the World's Social Summit in Doha,
0:41
Speaker 1: as well as a closer look at the well at
0:44
Speaker 1: least what's happening concerning investigatory powers in the United Kingdom,
0:48
Speaker 1: as well as recent developments on the war narrative. Vanessa's
0:52
Speaker 1: going to be looking at some actions being taken for
0:55
Speaker 1: the benefit of the people of Palestine, or at least
0:58
Speaker 1: so it would be hoped. And then we're going to
1:01
Speaker 1: look at latest in the absurdity of the corbon capture
1:06
Speaker 1: scheme as well as the further deployment of AI by
1:10
Speaker 1: the NHS. But we're going to start with the inward
1:14
Speaker 1: state visit of Donald Trump and indeed what he may
1:17
Speaker 1: have brought with him to the UK. So we're going
1:20
Speaker 1: to go to Mike to consider what might be happen.
1:24
Speaker 3: Well.
1:25
Speaker 4: Indeed, so yes, Donald Trump has arrived in the UK
1:30
Speaker 4: for the second state visit. This is the first time
1:32
Speaker 4: any world leader has been invited for a second state visit,
1:35
Speaker 4: which appeals to Trump's ego as we can hear, and I, well.
1:41
Speaker 2: My relationship is very good with the UK and Charles
1:44
Speaker 2: as you know, who's now being as my friend. And
1:47
Speaker 2: it's the first time this has ever happened where somebody
1:49
Speaker 2: was honored twice but great honor. And this one said Winter.
1:53
Speaker 2: They've never used Winter cats up with this before. They're
1:56
Speaker 2: fucking their palace. I don't want to say one better
2:00
Speaker 2: than the other, but they say winter Castle is the
2:02
Speaker 2: ultimate right, so it's gonna be nice. But basically they're
2:05
Speaker 2: also one grade. They want to see if they can
2:08
Speaker 2: refine a great deal a little bit. We've made a
2:10
Speaker 2: deal and it's a great deal and I'm into helping
2:14
Speaker 2: the Mark country is doing very well. We've never done
2:16
Speaker 2: this well. We're making we're having trillions of dollars coming
2:19
Speaker 2: because of the tariffs, and they'd like to see if
2:22
Speaker 2: they could get a little bit better deal. So we'll
2:24
Speaker 2: talk to them, but primarily it's to be with Prince
2:27
Speaker 2: Charles and Camilla. They're friends of mine for a long time,
2:30
Speaker 2: long before he was king, and it's an honor to
2:33
Speaker 2: have this stein. And you know he's I think he
2:36
Speaker 2: represents the country so well. I've watched in such an
2:39
Speaker 2: elegant gentleman and he represents the country so.
2:43
Speaker 1: Well, brilliant. Yeah, someone's been misinforming him. If he thinks
2:51
Speaker 1: it's the first state visit to winter Castle, that's absolutely
2:55
Speaker 1: not the case. But if it makes him feel better,
2:56
Speaker 1: then I will well anyway.
2:59
Speaker 4: On the trade deal, which he mentioned in passing there,
3:02
Speaker 4: the Starmer regime has announced the first ever UK US
3:06
Speaker 4: Tech Agreement, which will quote bring new healthcare breakthroughs, clean
3:10
Speaker 4: homegrown energy, and more investment in the local communities and
3:14
Speaker 4: business in Britain. In the United States. Now, Sandy's going
3:18
Speaker 4: to be talking more about AI and the NHS later,
3:21
Speaker 4: but this comes as America's top technology and AI firms,
3:27
Speaker 4: and I say that dripping with sarcasm, like Microsoft and Vidia, Google,
3:32
Speaker 4: Open AI and core. We commit to a combined thirty
3:35
Speaker 4: one billion pounds to boost the UK's AI infrastructure and
3:40
Speaker 4: cutting edge tech, says the government, from data centers to
3:43
Speaker 4: computer chips, the processing par behind AI. Today's commitments, they say,
3:48
Speaker 4: bills on the forty four billion pounds investment in the
3:51
Speaker 4: AI tech sector under this government. That's their words. Now
3:56
Speaker 4: on screen you see the statement from Open AI with
4:00
Speaker 4: the lovely graphic there and according to them, this will
4:04
Speaker 4: help part the UK's future economy, boost its global competitiveness
4:09
Speaker 4: and deliver on the country's National AI Opportunities Action Plan.
4:13
Speaker 4: And they say that boosting the UK status is an
4:15
Speaker 4: AI maker and video will join forces with companies across
4:18
Speaker 4: the UK to deploy one hundred and twenty thousand advanced
4:20
Speaker 4: GPUs that's graphics processing units across the UK, representing its
4:25
Speaker 4: biggest ever rollout in Europe to date. And they say
4:29
Speaker 4: that this infrastructure is the building block of AI technology,
4:31
Speaker 4: able to carry out a huge number of calculations in
4:34
Speaker 4: a split second. So we should all be highly impressed
4:36
Speaker 4: by that. Again, the questions need to be asked, where's
4:39
Speaker 4: the energy going to come from, where's the cooling water
4:42
Speaker 4: going to come from? Well, under this partnership. Let's just
4:46
Speaker 4: bring this on screen because the UK and the United
4:48
Speaker 4: States will put joint resources and expertise into making emerging
4:52
Speaker 4: technologies has shared success for the British and American people apparently,
4:57
Speaker 4: so millions of patients could receive life saving treatment and
5:00
Speaker 4: faster More on that later. And they say that families
5:04
Speaker 4: could get access to cleaner, more reliable energy thanks to
5:07
Speaker 4: civil nuclear deal. Maybe perhaps, but perhaps not. They say
5:12
Speaker 4: that local communities and businesses will see greater opportunities through
5:16
Speaker 4: rollout of AI infrastructure, creating jobs and driving growth. Now,
5:22
Speaker 4: one of the companies that's behind all this is this
5:25
Speaker 4: one n Skill. Now this is apparently a British company
5:30
Speaker 4: based in London, but it seems to be delivering GPUs
5:35
Speaker 4: to the Middle East and North Africa is one of
5:38
Speaker 4: its main areas access of sort of interest and I'm
5:42
Speaker 4: not sure whether that includes Israel or not. I haven't
5:45
Speaker 4: seen any particular evidence for that, but that's just by
5:48
Speaker 4: the way. But they are also involved in producing this
5:54
Speaker 4: which is Open Eye to build its first European dat
5:57
Speaker 4: data center in Norway with partners. And this is also
6:01
Speaker 4: being called starget, so Stargate, the Stargate Norway. Sorry, So
6:07
Speaker 4: it seems to be a process that's being ruled out
6:09
Speaker 4: just about everywhere Charles at the moment. So my question
6:11
Speaker 4: is what is the destination for this, and so let's
6:14
Speaker 4: try to try to imagine our future here a little bit.
6:18
Speaker 4: So robotics in AI will provide the labor and the production,
6:22
Speaker 4: and that's mainly because, of course, our demographics are following
6:25
Speaker 4: the young. We're not producing any babies anymore, so we're
6:29
Speaker 4: going to have to fill that gap with robotics in AI,
6:32
Speaker 4: and therefore us humans will be reduced to consumption machines.
6:37
Speaker 4: Now higher we go to earn a living, well, we're
6:39
Speaker 4: not because we're going to live off Universal Basic income
6:43
Speaker 4: and digital ID and CBDC is going to be required.
6:47
Speaker 5: So there we go.
6:48
Speaker 4: That is pretty much I believe where we are going
6:51
Speaker 4: to end up if we continue down this path.
6:53
Speaker 1: Yea, And I think it seems likely we will. I
6:55
Speaker 1: think that's a prediction that people should absolutely bear in mind.
6:58
Speaker 1: And you know, talk about AI opportunities, it's very hard
7:01
Speaker 1: to see how they are opportunities for anyone other than
7:05
Speaker 1: the companies that are roading this stuff out and hooving
7:08
Speaker 1: up enormous amounts of taxpayer money. Now, on a related note,
7:12
Speaker 1: we're going to go to Sandy. Now, Doha, of course
7:16
Speaker 1: has been in the news for various reasons recently, but
7:18
Speaker 1: you're going to be talking about something else. The Social Summit.
7:23
Speaker 6: Yes, the Social Summit. It's the World Social Summit by
7:28
Speaker 6: obviously it's the United Nations and the World Economic Forum
7:32
Speaker 6: are getting together and it's the second Summit for Social Development,
7:36
Speaker 6: and that the first one was held in Copenhagen in
7:39
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety three, so I mean the year after the
7:44
Speaker 6: Earth Summit, So they haven't had one of these summit
7:48
Speaker 6: for social development for a long long time. So it's
7:53
Speaker 6: quite an interesting point. We have got a video, just
7:58
Speaker 6: a video to to explain what it's about.
8:07
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety five, history was made. The World Summit
8:12
Speaker 3: for Social Development in Copenhagen united world leaders around a
8:15
Speaker 3: groundbreaking commitment to put people at the centre of development.
8:20
Speaker 3: They pledged to eradicate poverty, promote social integration, and achieve
8:25
Speaker 3: full and productive employment for all over the years. This
8:29
Speaker 3: commitment transformed into action. The Millennium Development Goals set a
8:34
Speaker 3: global agenda for poverty, eradication, health and education. The Sustainable
8:40
Speaker 3: Development goals envisioned a just and sustainable world. The Pact
8:45
Speaker 3: for the Future reaffirmed global solidarity for current and future generations.
8:51
Speaker 3: In three decades, progress has been remarkable. Extreme poverty has
8:55
Speaker 3: been reduced by half. Digital transformation has revolutionized access to services,
9:01
Speaker 3: empowering millions and fostering inclusion. More children, especially girls, are
9:06
Speaker 3: in school. Breakthroughs in global health have increased life expectancy
9:11
Speaker 3: and tackle diseases like HIV AIDS, but challenges remain. Inequalities
9:16
Speaker 3: in income, education, health, and opportunity persist. A digital divide
9:21
Speaker 3: excludes millions. People living in vulnerable situations, such as older persons,
9:27
Speaker 3: indigenous peoples, and persons with disabilities, face barriers. As we
9:32
Speaker 3: approach the Second World Summit for Social Development in twenty
9:35
Speaker 3: twenty five. The world must renew its commitment to inclusive
9:38
Speaker 3: social development. Together, we can achieve equal opportunities for all,
9:44
Speaker 3: resilient and sustainable societies, a truly inclusive world where everyone
9:50
Speaker 3: is included. This will bring our journey onwards towards the
9:55
Speaker 3: Second World Summit for Social Development in Qatar. Let's work
9:59
Speaker 3: together for inclusion, equality and people.
10:06
Speaker 6: Thank you, I mean that film you saw there was
10:12
Speaker 6: ten years before the Sustainable Development Goals were announced in
10:16
Speaker 6: twenty fifteen, but they were they were exactly the same.
10:20
Speaker 6: And you know, obviously in two thousand we had the
10:22
Speaker 6: Millennium Development Goals. They failed. They were supposed to be
10:28
Speaker 6: tackling poverty, health and education. In twenty fifteen, obviously they
10:32
Speaker 6: launched the goals, the seventeen Goals, which laid out a
10:35
Speaker 6: roadmap for a more sustainable and well they say, a
10:38
Speaker 6: more sustainable and equitable future. It's actually the roadmap for
10:42
Speaker 6: the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And in twenty twenty one are
10:46
Speaker 6: Common Agenda called for renewed inclusive multilateralism, and in twenty
10:50
Speaker 6: twenty four the Pact of the Future reaffirmed solidarity across generations.
10:56
Speaker 6: So that first sum it was pretty much, you know,
11:01
Speaker 6: the same as as as we've got now, but kind
11:04
Speaker 6: of you know, just just re re rehashed. So they
11:10
Speaker 6: say that the challenges still remain, and so the road
11:13
Speaker 6: to de Doha is really a roadmap really for the future.
11:20
Speaker 6: And what they're doing is they're they're looking at a
11:23
Speaker 6: progression of the Sustainable Development Goals and yeah, thirty years on,
11:30
Speaker 6: you know, you've still got the same challenges. It's it's
11:34
Speaker 6: it hasn't changed because thirty years on, we're still looking
11:37
Speaker 6: at the same development goals and they are falling behind.
11:41
Speaker 5: In these goals.
11:43
Speaker 6: You know, you've got you've got the ten commitments that
11:47
Speaker 6: they that they said they would achieve, and those commitments
11:52
Speaker 6: have not been achieved. They're still it's still work in progress.
11:58
Speaker 6: So what we can see from this is that the
12:03
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five Progress Assessment reveals that the world remains
12:06
Speaker 6: far off track from achieving these goals. So I think,
12:11
Speaker 6: you know, we'll be looking at that a bit later.
12:14
Speaker 6: So at the moment, there's another there's another one of
12:19
Speaker 6: these conferences going on, and it's a Sustainable Development Impact Meetings,
12:24
Speaker 6: which are pretty much, you know, it's all about human computation.
12:28
Speaker 6: It's about what we're going to be dealing with in
12:32
Speaker 6: the future and how we're going how they think we're
12:34
Speaker 6: going to live. So, you know, the key themes accelerating
12:38
Speaker 6: social progress, climate and nature with crossover into social justice
12:43
Speaker 6: and economic transitions, tackling inequality and promoting inclusive growth. And
12:50
Speaker 6: Deloitte a part of this of this. You know, Deloitte
12:54
Speaker 6: are saying they're committed to helping create better futures by
12:58
Speaker 6: making an impact that matter. That's why we're taking to
13:01
Speaker 6: the world stage across the United Nations General Assembly Week,
13:06
Speaker 6: because it's actually the United Nations General Assembly as well
13:10
Speaker 6: the Climate Week, which is which is actually next week.
13:13
Speaker 6: It's the twenty second to the twenty seventh in New
13:16
Speaker 6: York City. So the World Economic Form Sustainable Development Impact
13:21
Speaker 6: Meetings are to help build a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous.
13:26
Speaker 5: Future for all.
13:27
Speaker 6: During this week a thoughtful conversations and strategic action, we're
13:31
Speaker 6: convening some of the world's most powerful business leaders and
13:34
Speaker 6: policymakers to help build shared solutions that will make a
13:39
Speaker 6: lasting impact. So the key themes are accelerating social progress.
13:44
Speaker 6: We're looking at social contracts here. I mean they beat
13:48
Speaker 6: around the bush. They're looking at impact investing, and Deloitte,
13:52
Speaker 6: as we know, are all bound up with impact investing.
13:55
Speaker 6: They're the ones that are working with a Royal Foundation
13:58
Speaker 6: with Kate Middleton looking at impact investing and data mining
14:04
Speaker 6: the under fives. So this is what we're looking at,
14:06
Speaker 6: and they skirt around it. They don't actually say what
14:09
Speaker 6: they're doing. Climate nature with crossover into social justice, all
14:12
Speaker 6: that stuff. So basically we're looking at now, yeah, the
14:18
Speaker 6: people who attend to stakeholders, from government's policymakers, business and
14:22
Speaker 6: corporate leaders, civil society NGOs, you've got you young people's groups,
14:28
Speaker 6: and financiers. They're all going to be there just literally
14:33
Speaker 6: working out how they can extract as much data from
14:37
Speaker 6: us as they can. Now, looking at the sustainable goals,
14:41
Speaker 6: they are failing. And I don't think they were ever
14:43
Speaker 6: meant to succeed because they don't care whether they succeed
14:48
Speaker 6: or not. To be honest, all they want is to
14:51
Speaker 6: be able to get the human computation. So in twenty
14:55
Speaker 6: twenty five, the Progress Assessment reveals that the world remains
14:58
Speaker 6: far off track from achieving the only thirty goals the
15:02
Speaker 6: twenty fifteen baseline at the most recent years supplemented by
15:05
Speaker 6: agency analysis. Among these, only thirty five percent show adequate progress,
15:10
Speaker 6: only eighteen percent are on track and seventeen percent making
15:15
Speaker 6: moderate progress. In contrast, forty eight percent of targets show
15:20
Speaker 6: insufficient progress, including thirty one percent with only marginal gains
15:25
Speaker 6: and seventeen percent with no progress at all. So eighteen
15:29
Speaker 6: percent of the targets have regressed below twenty fifteen base levels.
15:34
Speaker 6: So it's not working. Anyway, but they still continue to
15:39
Speaker 6: have these conferences in big hotels and just push it
15:43
Speaker 6: and just tell us that they're working hard at saving
15:47
Speaker 6: the planet. So you know, we're looking at these goals.
15:53
Speaker 6: End poverty. Poverty is actually worse if you look at
15:57
Speaker 6: if you look at the graphs, poverty you know is declining.
16:03
Speaker 6: And the thing is that digital post they've they've invented
16:06
Speaker 6: new poverty, digital property, fuel poverty. You know, I can't
16:10
Speaker 6: even afford to boil the kettle poverty. So there's zero
16:14
Speaker 6: hunger that's not going well. We've got more food banks
16:18
Speaker 6: and in this in this country, we've got the trustle
16:21
Speaker 6: Trust are saying that there's more food banks being used
16:24
Speaker 6: by the UK s people. Good health that's declining, global
16:31
Speaker 6: health managements. Most of us, you know, can't get a
16:33
Speaker 6: doctor's appointment even so, quality education dumbing down. Nobody's learning anything,
16:41
Speaker 6: so you know, they're not achieving their goals in schools
16:45
Speaker 6: and peace and justice is not working either because we've
16:48
Speaker 6: got the more corruption. So so there we have it.
16:52
Speaker 6: It's not working, but they aren't interested in achieving the goals.
16:55
Speaker 6: I don't think Thank.
16:57
Speaker 1: You, Sandy, thank you very much. Indeed, now onto something different. Yesterday,
17:02
Speaker 1: the Investigatory Powers Commission Commissioner's Office the IBCO, announced that
17:07
Speaker 1: it had been directed by the Prime Minister to investigate
17:11
Speaker 1: a series of apparent abuses of the judicial system, most
17:15
Speaker 1: notably by the Security Service MI five. Now, the popular
17:18
Speaker 1: narrative as delivered by the BBC is inextricably linked with
17:23
Speaker 1: this case, and the story goes back some years concerning
17:27
Speaker 1: the serious abuse of a woman by a man who
17:31
Speaker 1: was alledged to be being used by MI five as
17:35
Speaker 1: a covert human intelligence source. And three of the many
17:38
Speaker 1: issues so whether such abuse did actually take place and
17:42
Speaker 1: therefore whether MI five failed by extension to protect this woman,
17:46
Speaker 1: Whether MI I five lied to the courts about their
17:49
Speaker 1: relationship with the man in question, referred to as Agent X,
17:53
Speaker 1: and indeed whether the Security service lied to the BBC.
17:56
Speaker 1: Now it's notable in this BBC article that that they
18:01
Speaker 1: are able to talk to five about this in the
18:03
Speaker 1: first place. Of course, UK column I dare say would
18:06
Speaker 1: not have the same success were we to try. This
18:08
Speaker 1: is written by Daniel de Simone, and he writes that
18:13
Speaker 1: in fact five had disclosed the man's status in phone
18:16
Speaker 1: calls to me as it tried to persuade me not
18:19
Speaker 1: to investigate the man known publicly only as Agent X.
18:23
Speaker 1: So the BBC really appear to be more concerned about
18:25
Speaker 1: the lies told to them rather than the other particulars, which,
18:31
Speaker 1: course bearing mind truthfulness is somewhat ironic, one might consider. Now,
18:37
Speaker 1: at the heart of this is the policy of the
18:40
Speaker 1: Intelligent Services to neither confirm nor deny whether or not
18:44
Speaker 1: a particular situation is the case. And I think one
18:48
Speaker 1: must ask, really whether this sort of situation should be
18:50
Speaker 1: surprising when one considers the many pieces of legislation which
18:54
Speaker 1: are enabling covert and secret activity to be taken in
18:59
Speaker 1: d including criminal activity. We've got the Regulation of Investigatory
19:04
Speaker 1: Powers Act two thousand, Investigatory Powers Act twenty sixteen, Investigatory
19:08
Speaker 1: Powers Amendment Act twenty twenty four, and of course the
19:12
Speaker 1: Covert Human Intelligence Sources Act twenty twenty one as well.
19:16
Speaker 1: They are, of course always cloaked in the suggestion that
19:20
Speaker 1: they are necessary for your safety, and of course that
19:23
Speaker 1: they're being managed and regulated appropriately and responsibly. Now there
19:29
Speaker 1: is a reminder, or at least I'm going to issue
19:31
Speaker 1: a reminder from the Covert Human Intelligence Sources Act twenty
19:34
Speaker 1: twenty one that a criminal conduct authorization is an authorization
19:39
Speaker 1: for criminal conduct in the course of or otherwise in
19:43
Speaker 1: connection with the conduct of a covert human intelligence source.
19:47
Speaker 1: And I know Mike has done so recently, but I'm
19:49
Speaker 1: going to read the full list of agencies which may
19:51
Speaker 1: break the law with impunity subjects satisfying the conditions, and
19:55
Speaker 1: they are as written down in the legislation, any police force,
19:59
Speaker 1: the National Prime Agency, the Serious Fraud Office, the Intelligence Services,
20:04
Speaker 1: the Armed Forces, the Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the Department
20:07
Speaker 1: of Health and Social Care, the Home Office, the Ministry
20:10
Speaker 1: of Justice, the Competition and Markets Authority, the Environment Agency,
20:15
Speaker 1: the Financial Conduct Authority, the Food Standards Agency, the Gambling Commission.
20:21
Speaker 1: So it is quite staggering really that those privileges one
20:25
Speaker 1: might call them, are afforded to all of these organizations,
20:28
Speaker 1: and the Prime Minister's intervention in this particular situation may
20:32
Speaker 1: be regarded as superfluous in that it adds nothing to
20:35
Speaker 1: what the courts had said in both the beginning and
20:38
Speaker 1: end of July of this year, which was that further
20:41
Speaker 1: investigation is required and this is to be done by
20:45
Speaker 1: the IPC. As I mentioned now, the overall investigation is
20:49
Speaker 1: held by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, and on the thirtieth
20:53
Speaker 1: of July, over three years after proceedings began, wrote that
20:57
Speaker 1: Beth the claimant here respondent sorry ron claimant. Beth was
21:03
Speaker 1: in a relationship with X for a number of years
21:06
Speaker 1: and claims that he was seriously abusive to her. Beth
21:09
Speaker 1: says that X was a covert human intelligence source who
21:12
Speaker 1: was working for MI five. The Tribunal has not yet
21:16
Speaker 1: considered or determined the substantive merits of claim So the
21:22
Speaker 1: point here appears to be that it's all being made
21:25
Speaker 1: to look like there's going to be increased regulation of
21:28
Speaker 1: agencies like MI five, whilst at the same time paving
21:31
Speaker 1: the way for enhanced surveillance of the population under the
21:35
Speaker 1: banner again of security. And I'd just like to point
21:38
Speaker 1: out that Brian Gerish wrote about exactly this a decade
21:41
Speaker 1: ago on the UK column website, and I quote today
21:44
Speaker 1: Britain is the most spied upon country in the world,
21:47
Speaker 1: with millions of CCTV cameras and increasingly sophisticated facial tracking
21:52
Speaker 1: and recognition software. And of course I'll be a linked
21:54
Speaker 1: to that in the show notes. And the last thing
21:56
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out is that the Investigatory Powers
21:59
Speaker 1: Commissioner is, of course none other than Brian Levison, man
22:02
Speaker 1: who ran the inquiry which set the ball rolling for
22:05
Speaker 1: the situation that Brian Gerrish has just described, or least
22:08
Speaker 1: described a decade ago, and most recently the same man
22:12
Speaker 1: whose report on the judiciary said, among other things, that
22:16
Speaker 1: juries should be done away with because they are too
22:19
Speaker 1: time consuming. Now that moves us on to Vanessa, and
22:25
Speaker 1: Vanessa to go some way to describing what's been happening
22:30
Speaker 1: recently in Gaza.
22:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, as you mentioned, Charles, things have deteriorated beyond what
22:40
Speaker 5: we thought was where it couldn't deteriorate any further. Previously,
22:45
Speaker 5: this short video that I'll show just to begin my report,
22:49
Speaker 5: A hundreds of thousands of people are being forced out
22:52
Speaker 5: of Gaza City, which is in central Gaza, into areas
22:56
Speaker 5: in the south that are effectively becoming gill pens for
22:59
Speaker 5: the Zionists. This was the bombing of a truck that
23:05
Speaker 5: was evacuating a whole family. I apologize for the distressing video.
23:12
Speaker 7: Not fun lah shada shad of him.
23:34
Speaker 5: So while an entire family was wiped out in that
23:38
Speaker 5: one bombing, and while many others are being slaughtered on
23:42
Speaker 5: their way to try and evacuate to where there is
23:46
Speaker 5: effectively no safety at all in Gaza. This is Chancellor
23:50
Speaker 5: of Frederick Mertz, who if you remember, said that Israel
23:53
Speaker 5: was doing our dirty work, meaning the EU, when they
23:57
Speaker 5: attacked Iran. Here he is game with great emotion at
24:02
Speaker 5: the reopening of a synagogue in Munich.
24:07
Speaker 8: An had a passion on the once mentioned liberfore s
24:20
Speaker 8: Lamanda season of vaccin alstrta funny believed in descha in
24:31
Speaker 8: anem in irravatzat displaced person's camp by mentioning Amira Buchad Sweden,
24:46
Speaker 8: Dasia Skinta is Aron Frader Steton of the lean Huton
24:54
Speaker 8: neimont goten Harpen.
25:01
Speaker 5: He goes on to say that the government will wage
25:03
Speaker 5: war against anti Semitism, which means against protesters against the
25:07
Speaker 5: genocide that Zionis are committing in Gaza and in the
25:11
Speaker 5: occupied territories. At the same time, around two days ago,
25:16
Speaker 5: this report appeared in Dutch media to Volksgrant. This is
25:20
Speaker 5: the English version. What the wounds are telling is it's
25:25
Speaker 5: a very good investigative report into the deliberate sniping by
25:31
Speaker 5: the IOF and drone snipers of children. So let's just
25:39
Speaker 5: have a look at one child, mirror aged four, was
25:43
Speaker 5: shot in the head. There are multiple reports of this
25:47
Speaker 5: kind of killing in the Voxgrant article and I recommend
25:51
Speaker 5: that everybody reads it in full. Basically, the findings of
25:55
Speaker 5: the article were that one hundred and four teen children
26:01
Speaker 5: were found with similar wounds with bullets in various areas
26:06
Speaker 5: of their body that eventually killed them. Eyewitnesses told the
26:10
Speaker 5: doctors that the bullets came from the IOF snipers or drones.
26:16
Speaker 5: According to the former commander of Dutch Land Forces, the
26:20
Speaker 5: chance that these were accidental hits is negligible since the
26:25
Speaker 5: doctors describe more than one hundred cases. Nine doctors testified
26:31
Speaker 5: that the wounds had probably been caused by the controversial
26:34
Speaker 5: fragmentation weapons, which I'll come on to in the next slide.
26:38
Speaker 5: And of course the IOF is denying everything despite there
26:41
Speaker 5: being a history of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch
26:46
Speaker 5: reports on the use of fragmentation weapons and sniping of children.
26:51
Speaker 5: And if we look, this is the effect of one
26:53
Speaker 5: of the fragmentation weapons. So when the bullet or the
26:57
Speaker 5: missile explodes, it releases hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny
27:02
Speaker 5: pellets of tungsten which enter the body. Sometimes the children
27:06
Speaker 5: are sent home because the wound is not immediately visible,
27:09
Speaker 5: and yet those tiny pellets enter the organs and it
27:14
Speaker 5: turns out that they've been struck by fragments of metal
27:16
Speaker 5: shaped like cubes or cylinders. These pieces are so small,
27:21
Speaker 5: just a few minimeters, that doctors sometimes can't even find
27:24
Speaker 5: an entry or exit wound. But inside the body they
27:27
Speaker 5: cause what doctors describe as horrific damage. Organs are pierced,
27:30
Speaker 5: nerves and blood vessels are hit. As a result, patients
27:33
Speaker 5: suffer fatal internal bleeding or are forced to undergo amputation.
27:38
Speaker 5: This is another child from the article. This is according
27:42
Speaker 5: to doctor Pealmuta. The fragments are made of tungsten. The
27:46
Speaker 5: girl was hit by the metal fragments. Unfortunately they entered
27:50
Speaker 5: through her nasal cavity and into her brain and killed her.
27:55
Speaker 5: Now today we also have to remember seventeenth of September
27:59
Speaker 5: is the one year after the terrorist pager attack in Lebanon.
28:05
Speaker 5: This is just one of the victims. This is for
28:08
Speaker 5: saying Dany, aged twelve, I used to run and go
28:10
Speaker 5: to school. Now I just go to be route for treatment.
28:15
Speaker 5: More than three thousand people in Lebanon were injured by
28:18
Speaker 5: the patriot attack, many mutilated, lost their eyes, their hands,
28:23
Speaker 5: had their faces laced with scars that will haunt them
28:26
Speaker 5: for the rest of their life. And I wanted to
28:30
Speaker 5: basically finish with this video from two of the NHS
28:35
Speaker 5: that doctors in the UK that are being persecuted by
28:38
Speaker 5: the Zionist movement in the UK through the NHS itself,
28:43
Speaker 5: through the bodies that govern the NHS. One is doctor
28:47
Speaker 5: Rhianni Rihanna Ali and the other is doctor Rachma Aladwana, who,
28:52
Speaker 5: of course I've spoken about previously on UK column, but
28:56
Speaker 5: just to play what doctor Rihanna had to say about
28:59
Speaker 5: what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.
29:04
Speaker 9: The settlers have done that since they have poisoned crops,
29:07
Speaker 9: they have booby trapped, they have poisoned left poisoned food,
29:10
Speaker 9: tinted food, They've booby trapped toys. They have used quad
29:14
Speaker 9: copters which emit the sound of children crying to Leopalestins out,
29:20
Speaker 9: and then as soon as they come out to look
29:21
Speaker 9: for the crime child, they kill them. Okay, so I
29:25
Speaker 9: think I'm perfectly correct to say that Israelis are a
29:30
Speaker 9: different almost a different breed.
29:31
Speaker 5: Okay.
29:32
Speaker 9: Then nowhere else I believe on this planet will you
29:36
Speaker 9: find a society that is so psychopathic. Okay, And just
29:40
Speaker 9: because you find a few exceptions, there is something wrong
29:43
Speaker 9: with Israeli society. And I think the Paul after Paul
29:47
Speaker 9: supports my view. You know, eighty two percent of Israeli Jews.
29:50
Speaker 9: That's a Paul filmony a couple of weeks ago, two
29:52
Speaker 9: or three weeks ago, showing that you know, eighty two
29:54
Speaker 9: percent of Israeli Jews supported the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
30:01
Speaker 5: Another reminder that September sixteenth to the eighteenth, of course,
30:05
Speaker 5: is commemoration of the nineteen eighty two Sabra and Shatila
30:10
Speaker 5: massacre of Palestinians, where Zionists engineered the massacre, the rape
30:16
Speaker 5: and the slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children in
30:20
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty two here in Lebanon.
30:24
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, van us a very challenging material,
30:27
Speaker 1: and of course we do apologize to some degree for
30:30
Speaker 1: using such distressing images, although it is critically important that
30:33
Speaker 1: people are made aware, especially whilst governments stand idly by.
30:38
Speaker 1: Now the UK column, as you may know, is funded
30:43
Speaker 1: only by its members and indeed by donations, and if
30:48
Speaker 1: you would like to be a part of that and
30:50
Speaker 1: sustaining what it is that we do do, we would
30:52
Speaker 1: be very very pleased. And on our front page there
30:55
Speaker 1: is a big button saying click here, which will articulate
30:59
Speaker 1: the ways in which you can and support what we do.
31:01
Speaker 1: I'd also like to remind you that our shop has
31:04
Speaker 1: a range of goodies to be sported at almost all occasions,
31:09
Speaker 1: so please do take a look there.

Speaker 1: to journalism, So please tune in at seven o'clock. And
31:23
Speaker 1: then tomorrow going out at one o'clock will be a
31:27
Speaker 1: talk that Mike and I gave at the Hope Freedom
31:31
Speaker 1: event back over the August Bank Holiday, entitled the Editor's
31:35

31:37
Speaker 1: of points of legislation that have come out or are
31:41
Speaker 1: coming in recent years. So please do tune into that
31:44
Speaker 1: tomorrow at one o'clock. Now coming up on the twenty
31:47
Speaker 1: eighth of September, if you happen to be north or

Speaker 1: in Scotland or prepared to travel, then there's an event
31:53

Speaker 1: eighth September. I will be speaking at it and Diane
32:00
Speaker 1: will also be present, so please do get along to
32:02
Speaker 1: that and support it if you can. And then to
32:05
Speaker 1: our UK column on location event in York on Saturday
32:08
Speaker 1: the eighteenth of October, where please to announce that it
32:10

Speaker 1: an in person ticket, you will also have access to
32:36
Speaker 1: the live stream. So I hope that's clear and that
32:37
Speaker 1: we'll get lots of people signing up for that because
32:39
Speaker 1: it will be a great day. Now we're going to
32:42
Speaker 1: go to a narrative that we've treated with a great
32:46
Speaker 1: deal of detail over the years and months, and it's
32:49
Speaker 1: war and how it's building.
32:51
Speaker 10: Yes.
32:51
Speaker 4: Indeed, so on Monday, NEDRO announced that on Saturday, at
32:56
Speaker 4: the weekend, a French for AFOUL fighter JED was scrambled
33:00
Speaker 4: three deployed to Poland in response to quote another potential
33:04
Speaker 4: threat from Russian drones. The response, they say was fast
33:08
Speaker 4: and the alert was over quickly, and so that was
33:11
Speaker 4: according to Supreme Allied Commander at Europe. And now four
33:15
Speaker 4: German eurofighters apparently stand ready to respond at an air
33:19
Speaker 4: base in the northeast of Poland, and three helicopters from
33:23
Speaker 4: the Czech Republic arrived in Poland over the weekend, and
33:26
Speaker 4: that's according to this NATAL release. But we of course
33:30
Speaker 4: heard in the last few days that the UK, Denmark, Spain,
33:34
Speaker 4: Sweden and Italy have all said they'll provide capabilities for
33:37
Speaker 4: the NATAL operation in Poland as well. The Starmar regime
33:41
Speaker 4: said that quote. The typhoons will operate out of RAF
33:45
Speaker 4: Conningsby in Lincolnshire and are expected to start flying missions
33:48
Speaker 4: over Poland in the coming days. Will be supported by
33:51
Speaker 4: RAF Voyager air refueling aircraft from RAF Brice Norton. The
33:56
Speaker 4: commitment follows a meeting of the North Atlantic Council on
33:58
Speaker 4: Wednesday the tenth Nmber, where the UK and Allies discussed
34:02
Speaker 4: the situation following Poland's request for consultations under Article four
34:06
Speaker 4: of the Washington Treaty. Allies expressed full solidarity with Poland.
34:11
Speaker 4: So this is apparently sorry, they go on to say.
34:15
Speaker 4: In fact, this new era of threat, exemplified by Russia's
34:19
Speaker 4: intensifying airspace violations, requires a new era of defense, and
34:24
Speaker 4: this government is delivering the largest sustained increase in defense
34:27
Speaker 4: spending since the end of the Cold War. The rhetoric
34:30
Speaker 4: is nonsense, But at the point here is they continue
34:32
Speaker 4: to try to build this narrative of Russian attacks on
34:35
Speaker 4: NATO countries with a view well Article four already invoked,
34:40
Speaker 4: but with a view to invoking Article five. So where
34:45
Speaker 4: does that take us?
34:46
Speaker 2: Well.
34:46
Speaker 4: In the meantime, the UK Foreign Office summoned the Russian
34:51
Speaker 4: Ambassador to the UK, Andrea Klein, yesterday to complain about
34:57
Speaker 4: alleged Russian drones violating Polish air space and task here
35:01
Speaker 4: is reporting that quotes on September the fifteenth, the ambassador
35:05
Speaker 4: was invited to the Foreign Office where formal protest was
35:07
Speaker 4: launched against them regarding the presence of drones in Polish airspace.
35:11
Speaker 4: The British were asked if they had any evidence that
35:14
Speaker 4: the drones had been launched by the Russian military. They
35:17
Speaker 4: did not provide any. We also asked them to clarify
35:20
Speaker 4: the motives for sending drones towards Poland. Obviously Russia would
35:24
Speaker 4: not have been interested in this. On the contrary, the
35:27
Speaker 4: Kiev leadership has many reasons and opportunities to carry out
35:30
Speaker 4: such a false flag operation. It's not difficult to list them.
35:33
Speaker 4: No counter arguments have been presented to us, and the
35:36
Speaker 4: Embassy Claion went on to say, we reiterate that Russia
35:40
Speaker 4: has no interest in escalating tensions in relations with Poland
35:45
Speaker 4: or NATO. On the contrary, Kiev and the sponsors who
35:47
Speaker 4: repeatedly carried out provocations for this purpose are interested in
35:51
Speaker 4: further inflating militaristic anti Russian hysteria. Therefore, it's clear who's
35:57
Speaker 4: at fault. Well that the article sorry, the narrative for
36:02
Speaker 4: Article five continues to build rogers. Here claims that the
36:07
Speaker 4: Romanian Defense Ministry has said that its scrambled and F
36:12
Speaker 4: sixteen to chase a Russian drone that it claimed entered
36:15
Speaker 4: Roumanian airspace from Ukraine. The Defense Minister said the F
36:20
Speaker 4: sixteen pilots came close to taking down the drone as
36:23
Speaker 4: was flying very low before it left national airspace towards Ukraine.
36:28
Speaker 4: It flew back towards Ukraine. Charles, I don't know what
36:31
Speaker 4: to say about that. Did it come from Russia? Therefore,
36:34
Speaker 4: it's impossible to say. The problem is, of course, that
36:37
Speaker 4: the whole Russian drones in Poland fakery continues to fall apart,
36:41
Speaker 4: with the news that the house that was damaged was
36:44
Speaker 4: actually damaged by a Polish missile, far from an F sixteen,
36:48
Speaker 4: and actually according to Polish sources not mentioned in this article,
36:53
Speaker 4: but those sources saying that the house had already been
36:55
Speaker 4: damaged by storm. But let's not let any of that
36:59
Speaker 4: get in the way of the truth that the government
37:02
Speaker 4: wants us to believe. Now, things are not going so
37:05
Speaker 4: well for NATO.
37:06
Speaker 5: Here in Europe.
37:10
Speaker 4: Let's see what we've sorry. Things may not be going
37:13
Speaker 4: so well here for NADO and Europe, but they can
37:16
Speaker 4: at least point to their continuing expansion in the Pacific
37:20
Speaker 4: as the encirclement of Russia and the increasing pressure on
37:25
Speaker 4: China continues. So here's Defense Times reporting that the US
37:30
Speaker 4: Army put on a display of its Typhon mid range
37:33
Speaker 4: missile system in Japan a couple of days ago. Typhon
37:36
Speaker 4: was featured during the annual bilateral Exercise Resolute Dragon, which
37:41
Speaker 4: started last week. And that includes more than nineteen thousand
37:44
Speaker 4: US and Japanese troops participating in an exercise on maritime
37:50
Speaker 4: defense and literal protection which is held across Japan. And
37:55
Speaker 4: that's according to the US Department of Defense, cited by
37:58
Speaker 4: Defense News here. At the same time, Japan's Air Force
38:02
Speaker 4: is sending a contingent of four F fifteen J fighters
38:07
Speaker 4: and support aircraft on a tour of the US and Europe.
38:10
Speaker 4: Quotes to strength and cooperation with Natro amid threats from Russia,
38:13
Speaker 4: China and North Korea. And that's according to the Newsweek
38:16
Speaker 4: on screen. At the moment, Japan views the security of
38:20
Speaker 4: the Euroatlantic and Indo Pacific as indivisible, citing Russia's full
38:24
Speaker 4: scale invasion of Ukraine, China's attempts to change the status
38:27
Speaker 4: quobi force in disputed Asian waters, and North Korea's development
38:31
Speaker 4: of nuclear missiles, the deployment of the Japanese a newsweak
38:36
Speaker 4: reports its first mission and Europe in Canada follows the
38:40
Speaker 4: conclusion of a British aircraft carriers operations in North East Asia.
38:45
Speaker 4: So the war machine continues to build. But just to
38:49
Speaker 4: finish this off. In response to reports of a US
38:53
Speaker 4: Navy vessel boarding and detaining a Venezuelan and fishing both
38:56
Speaker 4: China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the risk of conflict
39:02
Speaker 4: and the raising of the risk and conflict, and they
39:04
Speaker 4: said recently, in the name of combating drug trafficking, the
39:07
Speaker 4: US has deployed forces to the waters of the Caribbean
39:10
Speaker 4: Sea of Venezuela and claimed to have sunk of Venice
39:12
Speaker 4: Will Investment vessel, shot dead soldiers and intercepted and detained
39:16
Speaker 4: the Venice Wila and fishing boat, resulting and continued tensions
39:19
Speaker 4: in the region. The US has moved threatened regional peace
39:23
Speaker 4: and security, severely infringe upon other countries sovereignty, security and
39:27
Speaker 4: lawful rights and interests, and seriously violate international law. And
39:31
Speaker 4: that was according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. I just wanted,
39:34
Speaker 4: very briefly, Vanessa, just to get a comment from you
39:38
Speaker 4: on this, because you are aware of what's going on
39:42
Speaker 4: with Venezuela. So if you could comment in that and
39:46
Speaker 4: also the Chinese statement here.
39:51
Speaker 5: Well, I think you know, historically the war on drugs
39:54
Speaker 5: has never been anything more than the US basically benefiting
39:58
Speaker 5: from the drug catels then weaponizing them against the target countries.
40:03
Speaker 5: We've seen it in Venezuela, and of course we saw
40:06
Speaker 5: it in Syria with Resident Asad being called the head
40:11
Speaker 5: of the narco state, with the Captagon claims. Of course
40:14
Speaker 5: Capta gone running is still continuing since the former government fell,
40:19
Speaker 5: which suggests that it had nothing to do with President
40:22
Speaker 5: a Sad but more to do with the Western terrorist proxies.
40:27
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, Vanessa. Let's move on then back to
40:31
Speaker 4: sort of Palestinian related issues.
40:33
Speaker 1: Indeed, with Vanessa, I mean, obviously your earliest segment really
40:37
Speaker 1: describing how little is being done by the political class
40:39
Speaker 1: who continue to sit on their hands. But now you're
40:41
Speaker 1: going to tell us a bit more about people who
40:43
Speaker 1: are in fact getting out and doing something.
40:48
Speaker 5: Well. Sadly, the report is actually more about the infiltration
40:53
Speaker 5: of pro Palestine movements, particularly in the West, and this
40:57
Speaker 5: is related very much to the UK's investigation that was
41:01
Speaker 5: largely done by Professor David Miller, but I participated in
41:07
Speaker 5: at Palestine Declassified with Chris Williamson and David Miller. So
41:11
Speaker 5: this is a concert that's actually coming up on the
41:14
Speaker 5: seventeenth of September together for Palestine. There's a huge array
41:19
Speaker 5: of musicians and artists, very well known ones that are
41:23
Speaker 5: performing as they believe to raise funds for Palestine. But
41:29
Speaker 5: the reality is if we look at the background to
41:32
Speaker 5: the organizations that are effectively organizing this event. So if
41:37
Speaker 5: we look at first of all, choose Love. This is
41:41
Speaker 5: just one organization that I'm going to focus on today,
41:45
Speaker 5: and here is David talking about it on the Palestine
41:49
Speaker 5: Declassified Report that.
41:51
Speaker 11: We did foundations called the Jewish Philanthropies and others including
41:59
Speaker 11: also some British scionuce foundations who have been giving them money.
42:04
Speaker 11: And also in there is the Rockabeller Rockefeller Brothers Fund,
42:08
Speaker 11: which of course is a well known It says in
42:10
Speaker 11: the film there a CIA passed through And what that means,
42:12
Speaker 11: of course, is that in the previous decades that what
42:17
Speaker 11: would happen is that the Rockefeller Brothers and the Ford
42:20
Speaker 11: Foundation and other big foundations would take money from the
42:24
Speaker 11: CIA and would pass it on to other organizations, so
42:28
Speaker 11: it would disguise the role of the CIA and pushing
42:31
Speaker 11: money out to what we're effectively CIA assets. Now that
42:35
Speaker 11: appears to be what's happening with Choose Love, and there
42:37
Speaker 11: are a whole range of other organizations which are funding it,
42:41
Speaker 11: which indicates that there are questions to be asked about
42:44
Speaker 11: his activities. It's not just about helping refugees or relieving
42:49
Speaker 11: suffering in earthquake regions or after disasters. It's also about
42:55
Speaker 11: it looks like pursuing the interests of powerful actors, including
43:00
Speaker 11: the national security state in the US and perhaps even elsewhere.
43:07
Speaker 5: In fact, choos Love has multiple funders that are related
43:12
Speaker 5: to the Zionist movement in the UK and the US,
43:15
Speaker 5: and in factchuos Love celebrated the fall of Syria, supported
43:20
Speaker 5: the fall of Syria and the rise of al Qaeda
43:23
Speaker 5: to power in Syria. In fact, they gave four hundred
43:26
Speaker 5: thousand to the CIA MI six incubated White Helmet organization
43:31
Speaker 5: that we've written about and covered many times on UK
43:35
Speaker 5: column to investigate the alleged crimes committed at Sednaya Prison.
43:40
Speaker 5: Even the White Helmets now have walked back many of
43:43
Speaker 5: the claims that they made back in December twenty twenty four,
43:47
Speaker 5: so chews love is clearly has a bias towards supporting Israel.
43:53
Speaker 5: It doesn't allow any support, for example, of the BDS,
43:57
Speaker 5: the boycott, divestment and sanctioned movement. And then let's have
44:00
Speaker 5: a look at together for Palestine, the actual organization that
44:04
Speaker 5: was established in May twenty twenty five and is now
44:08
Speaker 5: running this event again as I said, ostensibly for Palestine.
44:12
Speaker 5: But let's have a look at the directors of this organization,
44:16
Speaker 5: Anna Catherine Nolan and James Sadry, both of them co
44:20
Speaker 5: directors and co founders of the Syria Campaign. What was
44:24
Speaker 5: the Syria Campaign. Syria Campaign was the main pr arm
44:28
Speaker 5: or auxiliary of the White Helmet that promoted regime change
44:33
Speaker 5: in Syria, claiming to be a human rights advocacy group,
44:37
Speaker 5: but in fact criminalizing the Syrian government. And of course
44:40
Speaker 5: the White Helmets ran the propaganda reference chemical weapons that
44:46
Speaker 5: were used to basically in the end criminalize the Syrian
44:50
Speaker 5: government and allies and all of these organizations that formed
44:54
Speaker 5: a huge regime change complex effectively established and run by
44:59
Speaker 5: the intelligence agencies in the countries infested in regime change
45:04
Speaker 5: in Syria, and that includes the UK. And finally, there
45:08
Speaker 5: will be a link in the show notes to a
45:10
Speaker 5: new article by David Miller that goes into far greater
45:13
Speaker 5: depth of infiltration a cardinal function of the Zionist movement.
45:18
Speaker 5: But what is worrying is the extent to which the
45:21
Speaker 5: Zionist movement has, as we've said before, infiltrated special interest
45:26
Speaker 5: groups and geo soft power within the UK itself and
45:30
Speaker 5: is now behind the scenes of many of what po
45:33
Speaker 5: to be pro Palestine organizations.
45:38
Speaker 4: I'm just going to mention before we move on, Charles.
45:40
Speaker 4: David Miller's also published articles on this issue at the
45:44
Speaker 4: UK Column as well, so do have a look on
45:46
Speaker 4: the UK Column website as well as Smith Press.
45:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Vanesa, thank you very much. Indeed, onto the
45:53
Speaker 1: subject of carbon capture. No, it may have escaped your
45:57
Speaker 1: attention that at the beginning of the month was a
46:00
Speaker 1: summit in London, at the Carbon Capture Global Summit, and
46:05
Speaker 1: the language is important. They say that they're turbo charging
46:09
Speaker 1: carbon capture and underground storage and forging global partnerships, and
46:13
Speaker 1: that seems to be very much what it is about.
46:16
Speaker 1: Here we see that one of the main sponsors is
46:18
Speaker 1: Nonana than Shell. They claim that they're going to be
46:22
Speaker 1: increasing the amount of carbon captured by over one hundred
46:25
Speaker 1: times the current figure by twenty fifty. And to achieve
46:29
Speaker 1: this ambitious goal they have to have a unified global effort.
46:33
Speaker 1: They transcend borders and the entire low carbon supply chain
46:37
Speaker 1: and other such language. Now this does appear to be
46:41
Speaker 1: all about appearance. The website is full of sort of
46:45
Speaker 1: lofty aims and promises and all the rest of it.
46:48
Speaker 1: And had you wanted to attend, you could have done
46:52
Speaker 1: so for the meager sum of three four hundred and
46:55
Speaker 1: forty pounds, and the gala dinner would have been an
46:58
Speaker 1: additional four hund hundred pounds that you would have seen
47:02
Speaker 1: the awards ceremony. Now, looking at the current government, the
47:08
Speaker 1: Labor manifesto from last year spoke about a one billion
47:13
Speaker 1: commitment to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture. Words that
47:19
Speaker 1: might suggest there is something going on at the minute.
47:21
Speaker 1: So the question is from what point are we starting now?
47:25
Speaker 1: I submitted a freedom of information request to the Department
47:28
Speaker 1: for Energy Security and Net Zero to making fear inquiries
47:32
Speaker 1: not just about progress but also about cost. They replied
47:36
Speaker 1: certainly on the cost side of things, by saying the
47:39
Speaker 1: UK government has committed twenty one point seven billion to
47:43
Speaker 1: CCUS over the next twenty five years, and to date
47:47
Speaker 1: they have spent six hundred and thirty million pounds on
47:51
Speaker 1: the program. Now that's interesting because also the UK's CCUS
47:57
Speaker 1: facilities have not yet stored any carbon dioxide. Now that
48:03
Speaker 1: is staggering in its own right, I would say, But
48:05
Speaker 1: just to set it in context, I was just looking
48:08
Speaker 1: around various sort of government pledges this morning and I
48:11
Speaker 1: see that the Ministry of Defense is growing about a
48:14
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million pound fund to boost local
48:16
Speaker 1: economies over five years. And yet here we are not
48:20
Speaker 1: even putting carbon dioxide in the ground for six hundred
48:22
Speaker 1: and thirty million. So that's just a sense of perspective. Now,
48:26
Speaker 1: Also to qualify what it is we're talking about, we're
48:28
Speaker 1: going to look back to twenty sixteen the Oil and
48:31
Speaker 1: Gas Authority which presented their Enhanced Oil Recovery Strategy and
48:38
Speaker 1: Examination an examination of methods of recovering crude oil, and
48:42
Speaker 1: one such was to use carbon dioxide which becomes available
48:47
Speaker 1: from carbon capture and storage. And if that's confused you,
48:52
Speaker 1: then I should point out that this is actually the case.
48:55
Speaker 1: It was a technology proposed for reducing carbon dioxide being
49:00
Speaker 1: suggested as a means for extracting so called fossil fuel.
49:03
Speaker 1: So you might not be able to make it up,
49:05
Speaker 1: but the government did. I asked the Department as I
49:09
Speaker 1: referred to earlier in the FOI request. I asked how
49:11
Speaker 1: much common docs I had had been used for enhanced
49:14
Speaker 1: oil recovery and was told that EAR is oil production
49:20
Speaker 1: and would not qualify. So they can't quite seem to
49:24
Speaker 1: make their minds up. But they can go on to
49:26
Speaker 1: say that the terms of conditions carrying out EAR would
49:30
Speaker 1: be in breach of the license. So one of many inconsistencies,
49:35
Speaker 1: some of which are covered by the fairly comprehensive and
49:39
Speaker 1: very damning report by the Public Accounts Committee. Now it
49:41
Speaker 1: quotes the Department for Energy Security and that zero was
49:45
Speaker 1: saying that CCUS is essential for the UK to meet
49:48
Speaker 1: its net SERA targets. Those are the words of the Department,
49:51
Speaker 1: not the Public Accounts Committee. They do go on to
49:53
Speaker 1: say of the twenty two billion pounds commitment, that a
49:56
Speaker 1: quarter of this financial support will come from the exchequer,
50:00
Speaker 1: three quarters will come from levies on consumers who are
50:02
Speaker 1: already facing some of the highest energy bills in the world,
50:06
Speaker 1: and I think that's a very important point to make.
50:09
Speaker 1: Now there's also every suggestion that none of this would
50:13
Speaker 1: ever be commissioned at all, because the storage permit will
50:18
Speaker 1: only be issued when the NAUSEA transitional authority are confident
50:21
Speaker 1: that there will be no significant risk of leakage of
50:24
Speaker 1: CO two or of harm to the environment and human
50:27
Speaker 1: health from the CO two storage activity. Now, there's nothing
50:31
Speaker 1: in the track record of this type of technology suggests
50:35
Speaker 1: that this is actually going to satisfy those conditions that
50:38
Speaker 1: I have reported about this particular issue on UK column previously.
50:43
Speaker 1: It's also stipulated that contractors, such as they may be,
50:47
Speaker 1: will only be appointed if they are able to meet
50:50
Speaker 1: the required standards. So effectively, it's as though the threshold
50:54
Speaker 1: of safety at least may never ever be met, despite
50:58
Speaker 1: the spending or committed spend of twenty two billion pounds.
51:02
Speaker 1: Now the public acoects committees unable to point towards any
51:05
Speaker 1: evidence of any success anywhere, and indeed cites Norway as
51:10
Speaker 1: an example of a place that has taken far, far
51:14
Speaker 1: more time to try to store any kind of common
51:16
Speaker 1: doxide than they had projected. And then also on the
51:18
Speaker 1: specific subject of leakage. I quote recent scientific evidence suggests
51:23
Speaker 1: that producing liquid natural gas brackets, which will be used
51:27
Speaker 1: to run several CCUS projects such as net zero T
51:31
Speaker 1: side closed brackets, leaks more methane, a potent greenhouse gas,
51:36
Speaker 1: into the atmosphere than previously thought. So yes, the idea
51:40
Speaker 1: again is to store combon dioxide whilst using liquid natural
51:46
Speaker 1: gas at the same time. This is how it's planned,
51:50
Speaker 1: and apparently we are not meant to consider the irony
51:54
Speaker 1: of any of it.
51:55
Speaker 5: Now.
51:56
Speaker 1: On the specific subject of levels of atmospheric common doc side,
52:00
Speaker 1: I also asked the department about this, and they pointed
52:03
Speaker 1: me towards the NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
52:08
Speaker 1: which monitors these levels and other atmospheric gasets. Now, the
52:11
Speaker 1: most recent chart shown on screen here shows an upward
52:15
Speaker 1: trend of the comondox side at by parts per million. Now,
52:22
Speaker 1: this is going back to nineteen seventy five and the
52:24
Speaker 1: detail is hard to see, so I'll just fast forward
52:27
Speaker 1: to the last five years, and if you can see
52:31
Speaker 1: the screen, you'll note that it's very very obvious that
52:33
Speaker 1: worldwide levels of atmospheric commondox side follow a distinct pattern
52:37
Speaker 1: repeated year on year, so at exactly the same time
52:40
Speaker 1: of the year, the commondox side levels fall sharply for
52:42
Speaker 1: a couple of months and then rise sharply. And therefore
52:46
Speaker 1: from this data it's not even remotely conceivable that this
52:50
Speaker 1: is due to anthropogenic or human induced factors, which of
52:54
Speaker 1: course should make this data an enormous nail in the
52:56
Speaker 1: coffin of so called climate science. THEAA data shows, therefore,
53:03
Speaker 1: that the atmosphere is actually able to regulate itself, and
53:06
Speaker 1: if it were not for the upward trend, there could
53:08
Speaker 1: be no possible grounds for suggesting that the activities of
53:11
Speaker 1: mankind have anything to do with it at all. So
53:14
Speaker 1: carbon capture in its latest sort of iteration would appear
53:18
Speaker 1: to be dead in the water, which, even though it's
53:21
Speaker 1: likely to waste a huge amount of taxpayer money, may
53:24
Speaker 1: serve as further evidence to those caught up in climate
53:27
Speaker 1: tunarmism that it is in fact a scam. Now from
53:32
Speaker 1: here we are going to go to my apologies to Sandy,
53:38
Speaker 1: and we were talking. I mentioned earlier that the National
53:41
Speaker 1: Health Service is joining in the action with regard to
53:45
Speaker 1: AI and it being the sort of epicenter of everything.
53:48
Speaker 1: So Sandy please tell us what you've got on that.
53:52
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean our health care is going to change
53:57
Speaker 6: quite dramatically, and all the more reasons to move into
54:00
Speaker 6: alternative ways of doing things because the data harvesting and
54:06
Speaker 6: data mining is obviously what's driving it all. So the
54:11
Speaker 6: Health Secretary and the Health and Social Care Secretary after
54:15
Speaker 6: COVID nineteen announced that NHSX and NHS Digital will merge
54:21
Speaker 6: with NHS England and NHS Improvement. I mean you may
54:25
Speaker 6: not have known all those existed. I mean they weren't
54:27
Speaker 6: there before, but here they are. And this new technology
54:31
Speaker 6: is predictive, preventative, personalized and participatory medicine. So NHS at
54:38
Speaker 6: its core will be working around genetics and disease and
54:42
Speaker 6: possibly you know, reaching into the DNA of every man
54:45
Speaker 6: and woman in the UK. These apps monitor every well,
54:51
Speaker 6: they team up with other other data sources because all
54:55
Speaker 6: your data will be in one place and it looks
54:58
Speaker 6: at every aspect of your life. If you could be
55:00
Speaker 6: your shopping habits, your financial and social status, education, heregistry, genomics,
55:06
Speaker 6: fitness and more, feeding into that sort of corporate superstate.
55:12
Speaker 6: So according to NHSX, from twenty twenty to twenty twenty five,
55:17
Speaker 6: medicine will be embedded into routine care. So let's just
55:23
Speaker 6: have a look at future of health in this little
55:25
Speaker 6: video piece.
55:32
Speaker 10: In the decades ahead, healthcare will undergo dramatic transformations. Medicine
55:38
Speaker 10: will become more precise, value will shape care delivery, Patients
55:43
Speaker 10: will become empowered consumers, and digitalization will transform every facet
55:48
Speaker 10: of healthcare. Patients will have a digital twin, a customized
55:54
Speaker 10: computational model of themselves, enabling doctor Clive to anticipate illness,
56:00
Speaker 10: therapy options, and predict outcomes of procedures. Expanding precision medicine
56:11
Speaker 10: will enable radiologists to make highly specific diagnoses for Stephen
56:16
Speaker 10: without unwarranted variations. AI powered decision models fed by vast
56:22
Speaker 10: population health data will improve diagnostic accuracy. Healthcare will become anticipatory,
56:37
Speaker 10: organized around Paula's medical conditions and available around the clock,
56:42
Speaker 10: transforming care delivery. Multidisciplinary, highly productive care teams structured around
56:49
Speaker 10: patients and their needs will collaboratively deliver the full cycle
56:53
Speaker 10: of care. All interactions with John will become convenient, personalized,
57:01
Speaker 10: and compassionate, improving patient experience. Supported by real time monitoring
57:08
Speaker 10: and guidance, John will become more empowered and have physical
57:12
Speaker 10: and virtual access to care when and where he needs it.
57:18
Speaker 10: At Siemen's Health and Ears, we are enabling healthcare providers
57:22
Speaker 10: to increase value, shaping the future of healthcare.
57:29
Speaker 6: Well that's that all sounds very very very slick and wonderful,
57:34
Speaker 6: but we'll see because in short, you know that some
57:40
Speaker 6: of these GP practices are bringing in a digital triage
57:46
Speaker 6: and workflow management system. You know these platforms they're buying in.
57:50
Speaker 6: I'm going to focus on one called Anima today that
57:53
Speaker 6: there's other ones like Hero and they're being rolled out
57:56
Speaker 6: across GP practices in the UK. It's function, it's just
58:00
Speaker 6: streamline how streamline how patient requests are received and prioritized
58:04
Speaker 6: and managed. In short, Anama functions as a central intake
58:08
Speaker 6: and triarchy system designed to replace or supplement traditional online
58:13
Speaker 6: consultation tools like that the e consult that they have
58:17
Speaker 6: now and it will it will reduce staff workloads. So
58:21
Speaker 6: I think we're seeing a way of getting rid of
58:24
Speaker 6: people by automating parts of the process. So Anima Health
58:30
Speaker 6: was founded in twenty twenty one by Shanika Sharma who's
58:35
Speaker 6: ex McKinsey and Sean Pang and he's ex Palenteer. He's
58:40
Speaker 6: an expalienteer Engineer Palenteer. Obviously NO is all wrapped up
58:44
Speaker 6: in US defense, and it's an AI company tied to
58:47
Speaker 6: the CIA Data analytics, So it's not just about helping GPS,
58:52
Speaker 6: it's about having harvesting structured population health data. So anyway,
58:59
Speaker 6: it's got big, big backing by Silicon Valley. So we're
59:04
Speaker 6: looking at it and you know, in the terms of
59:08
Speaker 6: how you know this digital transformation and human computation basically,
59:15
Speaker 6: so I'm looking at this as feeding into Agenda Agenda
59:20
Speaker 6: twenty thirty, which is the third goal, which is good
59:24
Speaker 6: health and well being. Basically, the UN wants universal centralized
59:29
Speaker 6: health data to monitor populations, digitalized dc BDCs, and this
59:35
Speaker 6: all feeds into the what they call the equity of care,
59:39
Speaker 6: presented as reducing GP workload and improving access, but in
59:42
Speaker 6: reality it's standardizing patient interaction into algorithms, depersonalizing care, and
59:49
Speaker 6: tightening central control. So we really do need to make
59:55
Speaker 6: our parallel systems and focus on natural healthcare because this
1:00:02
Speaker 6: to me is really is really kind of yeah, a bit.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: Two pervasive, absolutely Sandy, And of course something will come
1:00:14
Speaker 1: up at our York event in October vast population health data.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: I think something will probably be able to discuss a
1:00:22
Speaker 1: little bit further in extra say thank you very much
1:00:24
Speaker 1: for that. Now, just a very quick bulletin on farming,
1:00:27
Speaker 1: really prompted by the results of survey by the Country
1:00:30
Speaker 1: Land of Business Association, which is a pole only admittedly
1:00:33
Speaker 1: of five hundred farmers. And I should remind you that
1:00:35
Speaker 1: there are over two hundred thousand holdings in the UK,
1:00:38
Speaker 1: but of those five hundred eighty percent have told the
1:00:41
Speaker 1: CLA that they don't think their business will survive for
1:00:44
Speaker 1: a further decade, whilst sixty have said they considered getting
1:00:46
Speaker 1: out of farming all together. Now, this is said to
1:00:49
Speaker 1: be sort of in response to, most prominently the lad
1:00:53
Speaker 1: Party's proposal to reinstate inheritance tax on agricultural land. Also,
1:00:58
Speaker 1: politically speaking, they say that thirty six percent of those
1:01:02
Speaker 1: polled indicated they'd vote reform at a general election, whilst
1:01:06
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent Conservative and zero percent for labor. Now,
1:01:11
Speaker 1: what this is suggesting, and I think particularly in light
1:01:13
Speaker 1: of the campaign that's been mentioned on the UK column
1:01:17
Speaker 1: in recent weeks surrounding the sort of flags going up
1:01:20
Speaker 1: all over the country and what it is to be
1:01:23
Speaker 1: British and all that sort of thing. It's easy to
1:01:25
Speaker 1: see how this could become a battleground. And of course
1:01:30
Speaker 1: big food and supermarkets have hijacked this to a large
1:01:33
Speaker 1: extent by putting Union flags on produce to suggest that
1:01:36
Speaker 1: by buying British you are actually supporting farmers, which course
1:01:40
Speaker 1: is not really the case because the results are in
1:01:42
Speaker 1: fact only good for the corporations, not the environment, not
1:01:46
Speaker 1: the farmers, and really not you now associated with this,
1:01:51
Speaker 1: or at least in terms of subsidy. The government putting
1:01:54
Speaker 1: out information on their future sorry farming for the future
1:01:58
Speaker 1: and argon is staggeringly confusing, but they're talking about phasing
1:02:03
Speaker 1: out subsidies for landownership tenure and improving the financial offer,
1:02:07
Speaker 1: and they really go on to describe or at least
1:02:10
Speaker 1: try to describe their sustainable farming incentive and how it
1:02:13
Speaker 1: can work for you, and on their particular website they're
1:02:17
Speaker 1: saying that their choice of actions that can reward and
1:02:20
Speaker 1: support sustainable food production and all the rest of it,
1:02:23
Speaker 1: and the paragraph below says we are not currently accepting
1:02:26
Speaker 1: any new SFI applications. Of course, the government on the
1:02:30
Speaker 1: DAFRA blog talking about having committed over five billion over
1:02:35
Speaker 1: the next two years for sustainable farming and nature recovery,
1:02:39
Speaker 1: and that they would be encouraging farmers to get into
1:02:42
Speaker 1: as many environmental land management schemes as possible. Of course,
1:02:45
Speaker 1: not possible because the schemes closed and again just for context,
1:02:49
Speaker 1: five billion would last ten days work in the hands
1:02:52
Speaker 1: of the National Health Service. So frankly, the sooner the
1:02:55
Speaker 1: people and the farming community community appreciate that the way
1:02:58
Speaker 1: out of this mess is to cut both government and
1:03:01
Speaker 1: the corporate giants out, and this is by trading directly
1:03:04
Speaker 1: with one another. The better moret come on that, and
1:03:08
Speaker 1: we're getting to finish off with something that may orly
1:03:11
Speaker 1: may not be scary. Well, I think it's very scary.
1:03:14
Speaker 1: It's very very scary because here comes Stratus. Yes, Coroni
1:03:18
Speaker 1: is back.
1:03:19
Speaker 4: We had the original and the best, then we got
1:03:22
Speaker 4: a new variant, and then we get the Brazilian even
1:03:25
Speaker 4: at one point, but now we have Stratus. Yeah, and
1:03:29
Speaker 4: he do I know this well because the Plymouth Herald
1:03:32
Speaker 4: has told me, let's have a look new COVID string
1:03:35
Speaker 4: symptoms that are easily missed as variant spreading fast Charles,
1:03:40
Speaker 4: because it's so ineffective and so unlikely to cause any
1:03:44
Speaker 4: harm whatsoever that you won't even notice that you have it,
1:03:48
Speaker 4: So you better take one of those lateral flow tests
1:03:50
Speaker 4: to make sure and then take six months off work.
1:03:55
Speaker 4: If you do actually catch it, it's probably what you
1:03:58
Speaker 4: need to do.
1:03:58
Speaker 1: And thank goodness for the bloom with Herald, otherwise how
1:04:01
Speaker 1: would anyone ever know? Frankly, yes, right well, that brings
1:04:05
Speaker 1: us to the end of the program almost. I would
1:04:07
Speaker 1: just like to remind you that we have Germ and
1:04:10
