Speaker 1: Good afternoon. It's Friday, the twenty fifth of October twenty
0:11
Speaker 1: twenty four, just after one o'clock. Welcome to the UK
0:13
Speaker 1: column News. I'm your host Mike Robinson joining me. Today
0:15
Speaker 1: we have Debbie Evans and Mark Anderson welcomes the program both.
0:19
Speaker 1: Now we're going to get started with. Yesterday was World
0:22
Speaker 1: Polio Day, so world Health organization pushing this out twenty
0:27
Speaker 1: fourth of October. World Polio Day highlights the global efforts
0:30
Speaker 1: to end polyomilitis worldwide. Polio is a life threatening disease
0:34
Speaker 1: caused by the poliovirus, which is the World Health Assembly
0:38
Speaker 1: committed to eradicate in nineteen eighty eight. So one of
0:43
Speaker 1: the organizations that's helping with this is Rotary and so
0:48
Speaker 1: they wanted to raise money for it. So this was yesterday.
0:52
Speaker 1: World Polio Day is a time for Rotary members, public
0:54
Speaker 1: health advocates and all who want a world free of
0:57
Speaker 1: polio to come together. Aldens are matched two to one
1:01
Speaker 1: by the Bill and Milinda Gates Foundation, tripling your impact.
1:05
Speaker 1: So that's yesterday, and so in honor of that, the
1:09
Speaker 1: MHRA had an announcement saying today being yesterday, World Polio Day,
1:14
Speaker 1: twenty fourth of October twenty twenty four of the MED
1:16
Speaker 1: since the Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is highlighting our work
1:20
Speaker 1: training multiple World Health Organization pollio laboratories around the world
1:25
Speaker 1: using an advanced molecular direct detection method that can have
1:28
Speaker 1: detection times, supporting the global effort to eradicate polio and
1:32
Speaker 1: help save lives. In collaboration with Imperial College London, the
1:36
Speaker 1: University of Edinburgh, BioServe International, and funded by the Bill
1:39
Speaker 1: and Milinda Gates Foundation, we have trained twenty five countries
1:42
Speaker 1: in just over one year on the use of a
1:44
Speaker 1: technique called direct detection by nanopore sequencing. This method can
1:48
Speaker 1: speed up the detection of polio outbreaks, saving public health
1:52
Speaker 1: authorities crucial time and money. This includes training laboratories in Pakistan,
1:57
Speaker 1: one of the two the last two countries where poly
2:00
Speaker 1: remains endemic with the number of cases increasing this year,
2:03
Speaker 1: and the other country that where polio remains endemic they
2:07
Speaker 1: stay is Afghanistan. Debbie, let me welcome you to the program. First,
2:12
Speaker 1: any thoughts on this First of all.
2:14
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I have plenty of thoughts. Good afternoon, everyone,
2:17
Speaker 2: have plenty of thoughts because, as you've just said, well,
2:20
Speaker 2: polio it's no longer existing pretty much, and it is
2:24
Speaker 2: vaccine induced polio. So are we causing a problem. And
2:27
Speaker 2: the MHRA, let's not forget our funded eighty six percent
2:31
Speaker 2: by the pharmaceutical industry, and we're looking at gastro intestinal,
2:34
Speaker 2: So keep your eyes out this winter. It's going to
2:36
Speaker 2: be gastro intestinal, maybe polio, hepatitis E, neurovirus as we'll
2:41
Speaker 2: come on to see. Oh and let's not forget ecoli.
2:45
Speaker 1: Thank you, Debbie. Now let's just you've just mentioned vaccine
2:49
Speaker 1: derived polio. So let's just bring the statistics onscreen. Vaccine
2:52
Speaker 1: derived in twenty twenty one, six hundred and eighty two
2:55
Speaker 1: kisses in twenty twenty actually it was over a thousand cases.
2:58
Speaker 1: This is globally and so called wild polio six cases. Now,
3:04
Speaker 1: of course they would argue that the reason that there
3:06
Speaker 1: are so few wild polio cases, sorry you didn't have
3:09
Speaker 1: that on screen. Let's just put that on screen. They
3:14
Speaker 1: would argue that the reason that there's so few wild
3:16
Speaker 1: polio cases is because of the vaccine program. I'll leave
3:20
Speaker 1: others to make their own minds up on that. But
3:22
Speaker 1: if you want to see the total number of vaccine
3:25
Speaker 1: derived cases, Statistics. Have a look at the Polio Global
3:29
Speaker 1: Eradication Initiative and there's a graphic graph there that you
3:35
Speaker 1: can scroll down through and see the number of cases
3:38
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one, twenty three and this year so far,
3:43
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that. Now. Let's move on
3:46
Speaker 1: then to the issue of blood and infected blood, and
3:50
Speaker 1: the UK government has made an announcement on this, so
3:54
Speaker 1: let's have a look at Nick Thomas Simons. Who is
3:59
Speaker 1: they pay Mass General.
4:02
Speaker 3: I wanted to give an update as we have reached
4:04
Speaker 3: another milestone for victims and campaigners of infected blood. From today,
4:09
Speaker 3: estates of those infected who sadly passed away will be
4:13
Speaker 3: entitled to payment of one hundred thousand pounds. Personal representatives
4:17
Speaker 3: like brothers, sisters, parents and children can now apply to
4:21
Speaker 3: receive this payment. This is yet another group who have
4:24
Speaker 3: waited far too long for recognition and justice. When I
4:28
Speaker 3: came into government, I committed to delivering compensation to victims
4:33
Speaker 3: of infected blood as swiftly as possible. I've always been
4:37
Speaker 3: clear that any compensation scheme needs to recognize those both
4:42
Speaker 3: infected and affected by this appalling injustice. Since taking office,
4:47
Speaker 3: we have established a comprehensive compensation scheme in law, which
4:52
Speaker 3: is set to be one of the largest schemes in
4:54
Speaker 3: modern history. Today's announcement about compensation is the right thing
4:58
Speaker 3: to do. It was eyes by the Infected Blood Inquiry
5:02
Speaker 3: and set out in the Victims and Prisoners Act. Of course,
5:06
Speaker 3: no amount of compensation can fully address the suffering as
5:10
Speaker 3: a result of this scandal, but I hope that this
5:13
Speaker 3: further step on the road to justice reaffirms how committed
5:17
Speaker 3: this government is to delivering redress and relief to those
5:21
Speaker 3: who've waited far too long.
5:29
Speaker 1: So some may view a bit of hypocrisy in that,
5:32
Speaker 1: particularly if we take into account people that have been
5:36
Speaker 1: injured by COVID nineteen vaccines. Finally, the mainstream media seems
5:41
Speaker 1: to be jumping on this, and the BBC attempting to
5:44
Speaker 1: wind back their position perhaps here. I know Debbi is
5:47
Speaker 1: going to be talking about this article a little bit
5:49
Speaker 1: later as well, but I just wanted to highlight it
5:51
Speaker 1: here because BBC and depth asking is the system letting
5:54
Speaker 1: down people who were harmed by COVID vaccines. So for
5:58
Speaker 1: the first time and acknowledgment on the BBC at least
6:02
Speaker 1: that there have been these people But Debbie, the question
6:06
Speaker 1: my mind is the hypocrisy here and the question of
6:08
Speaker 1: whether there are at least high long COVID vaccine victims
6:14
Speaker 1: are going to have to wit for compensation in their
6:18
Speaker 1: own right.
6:19
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry to say that, going history repeating itself,
6:24
Speaker 2: I fear that the COVID vaccine injured and brief will
6:28
Speaker 2: have a very long time to wait. Looking at the
6:30
Speaker 2: lidamoide nearly fifty years and blood, are we repeating history again?
6:35
Speaker 2: I think because nobody's screening blood now. But lots more
6:38
Speaker 2: to come about that. But let's crack on with the
6:41
Speaker 2: NHS consultation because if you didn't know, I think we're
6:46
Speaker 2: just pretty much heading for the biggest data grab in history.
6:50
Speaker 2: And let's look why. So back in July twenty twenty two,
6:54
Speaker 2: I wrote this article the NHS Long Term Plan for
6:57
Speaker 2: Mental Health Implementation Planned Phoenix will Dine Saw, and in
7:00
Speaker 2: that I put in forty seven points about the NHS
7:05
Speaker 2: Long Term Plan And that was in twenty twenty two. However,
7:09
Speaker 2: it would appear that labor have revamped this or have they?
7:13
Speaker 2: So they are change notice the changing. They're changing the
7:19
Speaker 2: NHS and they're going to make it fit for the future.
7:22
Speaker 2: On the back of the rushed Lord Darzi report. You
7:25
Speaker 2: might remember that we've just had the that the results
7:29
Speaker 2: of that, which pretty much says the NHS is on
7:31
Speaker 2: its knees, which we knew about anyway, But recently the
7:35
Speaker 2: Telegraph was reporting that Wes Streeting is going to be
7:38
Speaker 2: very generous and he's going to be handing out smart
7:41
Speaker 2: watches to millions within the NHS. So no more excuses.
7:45
Speaker 2: Now you can't say you haven't got a smart watch,
7:47
Speaker 2: or you haven't got a smart app, or you haven't
7:49
Speaker 2: got a smartphone, because you're going to get given one.
7:53
Speaker 2: And I want you to listen to what we's Streeting
7:56
Speaker 2: has been saying regarding this new public consultation. I think
8:01
Speaker 2: he says the National Neighborhood Service have a listen to
8:07
Speaker 2: this bit of video. He was being interviewed with Laura
8:09
Speaker 2: Consburg on Sunday.
8:12
Speaker 4: You have come in with a whole clear set of
8:15
Speaker 4: plans and a clear reform agenda in terms of what
8:17
Speaker 4: we want to achieve, a shift from hospital to community.
8:20
Speaker 4: The NHS is a neighborhood health service as much as
8:23
Speaker 4: a national health service. The shift from analog to digital
8:26
Speaker 4: with the NHS not just benefiting from, but actively driving
8:29
Speaker 4: the revolution in life sciences, medtech and data and thirdly
8:33
Speaker 4: the shift from sickness to prevention. I do think though,
8:36
Speaker 4: as we are hitting the ground running and delivering already,
8:40
Speaker 4: I think it is the right thing to do to
8:42
Speaker 4: involve patients, the people working in the NHS, and the
8:45
Speaker 4: people who are going to be crucial to NHS's success,
8:48
Speaker 4: particularly in the world of life sciences and medtech, to
8:51
Speaker 4: help us write the long term plan, because I want
8:55
Speaker 4: the people working in the NHS and the people using
8:57
Speaker 4: it to feel like their fingerprints on it, that it's
8:59
Speaker 4: their plan as much as anyone else.
9:01
Speaker 5: Is.
9:04
Speaker 2: So a new plan that actually isn't a new plan
9:06
Speaker 2: at all. But you know it's not just where Streeting
9:10
Speaker 2: that's getting excited about it. NHS England are getting very
9:13
Speaker 2: excited about creating this new ten year health plan and
9:17
Speaker 2: I want you to watch a little bit. I'm really sorry.
9:19
Speaker 2: I do apologize the Chief Executive Officer of NHS England,
9:23
Speaker 2: Amanda Pritchard, who always wears funereal black I've noticed, who
9:28
Speaker 2: is desperate for you to have your say.
9:31
Speaker 6: Have a listen, all of us working in the NHS.
9:35
Speaker 6: No we are facing big challenges. Our staff are working
9:40
Speaker 6: harder than ever to get services back on track, to
9:43
Speaker 6: get waiting liss down. Yet too often we're struggling to
9:46
Speaker 6: provide the right care in the right place, at the
9:49
Speaker 6: right time.
9:49
Speaker 2: For everyone who needs it.
9:51
Speaker 6: We know that there are underlying problems that need to
9:55
Speaker 6: be fixed, but I also know that that many of
9:59
Speaker 6: the solutions we are already here working somewhere in the NHS.
10:04
Speaker 6: And I've seen some of the amazing work that's going
10:07
Speaker 6: on up and down the country, and I've heard from
10:10
Speaker 6: staff and from colleagues who are just passionate about the
10:13
Speaker 6: change that they are making already for their patients. So
10:18
Speaker 6: now it's your turn to have your say. By sharing
10:22
Speaker 6: your insight and experience into what's working and what's not,
10:25
Speaker 6: and the ideas you have for change, you can help
10:28
Speaker 6: us shape the future of the NHS. So whether you
10:31
Speaker 6: have a little to say or a lot, please do
10:35
Speaker 6: take part. This is a once in a generation opportunity
10:39
Speaker 6: to set the NHS on a path that makes it
10:42
Speaker 6: fit for the future.
10:47
Speaker 2: So thank you very much Amanda for that. Let's look
10:50
Speaker 2: at the new website that they've launched, bright yellow, not
10:54
Speaker 2: the normal blue of the NHS, so it's change dot NHS,
10:59
Speaker 2: dot UKA, whatever you have to say, say it. But
11:03
Speaker 2: who can take part? And when I went to look
11:05
Speaker 2: at who could take part, it's pretty much everybody. Actually,
11:08
Speaker 2: it's the public, it's professionals, it's industry, it's organizations. And
11:14
Speaker 2: I would like to give you an informed choice. So
11:17
Speaker 2: let's go back to the website because it will tell
11:20
Speaker 2: you how you can have your say. So it says
11:23
Speaker 2: start here, click a little box, so you'd Apparently it
11:28
Speaker 2: tells you don't have to answer all the questions, but
11:30
Speaker 2: I hit start and the next slide is what I got.
11:33
Speaker 2: So what have you got to do? Well, you've got
11:35
Speaker 2: to make an account, you've got to give your name,
11:37
Speaker 2: you've got to give your an email. Apparently AI is
11:40
Speaker 2: not so clever that it doesn't need it doesn't know
11:42
Speaker 2: that you're not human, so you have to enter all
11:45
Speaker 2: your details. You will receive emails and it's a sludge,
11:49
Speaker 2: so you have to opt out of that one if
11:51
Speaker 2: you don't want to receive emails. But let's look at
11:53
Speaker 2: the terms and conditions because they're always in small print.
11:57
Speaker 2: If we have a look at the privacy portal, we
11:59
Speaker 2: can see either the dhs C, the Department of Health
12:03
Speaker 2: and Social Care will work with external suppliers a couple
12:06
Speaker 2: of them. I'm not going to go into them in
12:08
Speaker 2: any detail, but thinks Insight and go Vocal. I can
12:11
Speaker 2: see Ben probably working on that as I'm speaking. And
12:15
Speaker 2: they tell you that the Department of Health and Social
12:17
Speaker 2: Care is the data controller. So what data do they collect? Well,
12:22
Speaker 2: you've got the option to share. You don't have to
12:24
Speaker 2: give all of your data if you don't want to.
12:27
Speaker 2: But go Vocal, who are the one of the third
12:30
Speaker 2: party companies. They will take tech information like your IP
12:34
Speaker 2: address and your browser detail and they offer a forum
12:37
Speaker 2: as well. But how do they use your data? So
12:41
Speaker 2: they actually use it by sharing it with Yonder Data Solutions,
12:45
Speaker 2: the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England.
12:48
Speaker 2: They say it's anonymized, but they say that it also
12:52
Speaker 2: may be published. So what rights do you have when
12:55
Speaker 2: you're filling in your consultation. You have rights as a
12:59
Speaker 2: data subject, so you do have the right to ask
13:01
Speaker 2: for information not to be used. However, they clarify this
13:05
Speaker 2: is not an absolute right and so your information could
13:09
Speaker 2: be used anyway and that goes to deleted information. You
13:12
Speaker 2: can ask for it not to be used, but there's
13:15
Speaker 2: no guarantee that it won't be used. Who are the
13:18
Speaker 2: data processors? Well, apparently according to their website, the information
13:22
Speaker 2: is going to be stored in the UK and the
13:24
Speaker 2: European Union. But where and with who I haven't found
13:28
Speaker 2: the answer to that yet.
13:30
Speaker 1: Now.
13:30
Speaker 2: I've spoken to Roy Lilly a number of times on
13:32
Speaker 2: UK column. We've interviewed him. It's always good to speak
13:35
Speaker 2: to everyone both sides of the fence. But he writes
13:39
Speaker 2: a newsletter every week. He's a little screenshot of his
13:42
Speaker 2: newsletter because he's writing on the comments and Labour's cunning plan,
13:47
Speaker 2: which is exactly the same as the Tory plan. So
13:51
Speaker 2: he also highlights that there is no difference with this
13:54
Speaker 2: ten year plan at all. But pushing ahead, what's all
13:57
Speaker 2: this about. Well, let's go back to the NHS app
13:59
Speaker 2: and here's the b trying to talk about the full
14:03
Speaker 2: access that you're going to get to your records on
14:05
Speaker 2: the NHS app. They're going to push ahead with a
14:08
Speaker 2: single patient record. This is the first step, in my
14:12
Speaker 2: opinion too, the one app where you'll be you'll have
14:16
Speaker 2: to use one app for pretty much everything. They say.
14:20
Speaker 2: They go on to say that ministers are committed. But
14:22
Speaker 2: you will notice that little name down at the bottom
14:25
Speaker 2: there that I've highlighted Palenteer and Ben and I have
14:29
Speaker 2: done well. All of us have done so much work
14:31
Speaker 2: on Palenteer. Do look on the website because that should
14:35
Speaker 2: raise a lot of concerns, but when they launched this
14:39
Speaker 2: on the website, you're going to enjoy this. They've had
14:42
Speaker 2: to take the Department of Health. I've had to take
14:44
Speaker 2: down loads of comments because people have been putting inappropriate
14:47
Speaker 2: comments and they've had to hide them. For example, beer
14:50
Speaker 2: should be on tap in hospital. I'm sure there's far
14:53
Speaker 2: more comments that they've taken down. And finally the ft
14:56
Speaker 2: advisor are reporting that actually, you know what this NHS
15:00
Speaker 2: mobile app, this is a game changer. This is a
15:03
Speaker 2: shot in the arm for the NHS. And I would
15:06
Speaker 2: finally finish on We've talked about the NHS app loads
15:09
Speaker 2: of times. If you've got it, if you know somebody
15:11
Speaker 2: that's got it, please consider scrap the app. See if
15:16
Speaker 2: we can make that go viral.
15:17
Speaker 1: Over to you, Mike, thank you, w thank you very
15:19
Speaker 1: much for that. And Mark, let me welcome you to
15:22
Speaker 1: the program now then, and you've been following a conference
15:25
Speaker 1: on climate. Yeah.
15:29
Speaker 5: In fact, Mike I covered too by the Brookings Institution
15:32
Speaker 5: in Washington, DC one on October eighteen one. On October
15:36
Speaker 5: twenty second covered in virtually the photos are all mine,
15:40
Speaker 5: And this is all leading up to the United Nations
15:42
Speaker 5: Climate Change Conference coming up in Azerbaijan, Baku, Azerbaijan in November,
15:49
Speaker 5: and so there's a lot of emphasis on climate to
15:53
Speaker 5: kind of lead up to and act as a cornerstone
15:57
Speaker 5: to that conference. Anyway, the October eighth teen event featured
16:01
Speaker 5: Janie Bavishi, the Deputy NOAH Administrator. NOAH is the National
16:06
Speaker 5: Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States as a
16:10
Speaker 5: federal agency, and the senior fellow at Brookings Metro, a
16:13
Speaker 5: branch of Brookings, who was the host was Xavier Briggs.
16:18
Speaker 5: And I have some narrative here that I wrote. This
16:21
Speaker 5: is just the key straight ahead news from the event.
16:25
Speaker 5: A new generation of science, they said, can help communities
16:28
Speaker 5: become more resilient from the growing impacts of a change
16:31
Speaker 5: in climate, and AI will be carefully included, though they
16:35
Speaker 5: did say that AI has to be handled carefully, you know,
16:38
Speaker 5: don't go all in with it necessarily. Noah that no
16:42
Speaker 5: National Oceanic Administration I talked about is going to now
16:46
Speaker 5: take a more active role to help local communities adapt
16:49
Speaker 5: to climate change in order to better in order to
16:53
Speaker 5: be better prepared, they say, for wildfires, megastorms, flooding, droughts, hurricanes,
16:58
Speaker 5: et cetera. The next point, in the wake of two
17:00
Speaker 5: recent devastating hurricanes in the United States, NOAH is intent
17:04
Speaker 5: on making available decision relevant, actionable information, making that available
17:11
Speaker 5: when giving people advanced warning of bad storms, and among
17:14
Speaker 5: other things, and this was a special emphasis. There's a
17:18
Speaker 5: new climate action plan in the works in which NOAH
17:22
Speaker 5: will go beyond internet postings and sundry matters and they'll
17:25
Speaker 5: actually visit localities before storms hit during good weather to
17:30
Speaker 5: get weather science to the people quote unquote, they say,
17:34
Speaker 5: including Noah running tabletop exercises in communities, in other words,
17:39
Speaker 5: running drills, not unlike the drills that happened before COVID
17:43
Speaker 5: came along, which was always sort of a mysterious thing.
17:46
Speaker 5: But anyway, disinformation then became a pretty hot topic at
17:52
Speaker 5: this particular Brookings event. And here's a video as to
17:55
Speaker 5: how they viewed disinformation related to weather weather data.
18:02
Speaker 7: And I love the sound of that, but I'm sort
18:04
Speaker 7: of sitting here also, you know, stunned at some of
18:08
Speaker 7: the disinformation that we're dealing with in our lives now. Sadly,
18:14
Speaker 7: for example, before these hurricanes even made landfall, or were
18:18
Speaker 7: those spreading rumors on social media that the US government
18:22
Speaker 7: was wielding weather weapons, as though our government would do
18:26
Speaker 7: that to our own, our own people. And then after
18:29
Speaker 7: you know, the worst of the events, as the rescue
18:32
Speaker 7: and relief efforts got underway, there were those telling communities
18:35
Speaker 7: on the ground, don't cooperate with FEMA, the emergency management folks.
18:39
Speaker 7: To many of it's it's kind of stunning, But I
18:41
Speaker 7: guess just a you know, a broad question to start,
18:44
Speaker 7: how do you how do you think about how should
18:45
Speaker 7: we think about equipping communities with intelligence and know how
18:50
Speaker 7: in an age where we're dealing with disinformation more and more.
18:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks for bringing up that issues out.
18:56
Speaker 2: It's so important.
18:57
Speaker 8: So let me just start by reframing Noah's role, because
19:02
Speaker 8: we have traditionally called ourselves an agency that provides environmental intelligence,
19:09
Speaker 8: but it is it's more than that, right, we know,
19:12
Speaker 8: as actually a boundary spanner in many ways, we're not
19:14
Speaker 8: just a Science Agency. We are working in partnership with
19:18
Speaker 8: communities across the country to apply that information and actually
19:23
Speaker 8: advanced adaptation and resilient solutions to prepare for the impacts
19:27
Speaker 8: of extreme weather and for climate change. And I think
19:30
Speaker 8: that's really important because there's an intelligence that comes from
19:33
Speaker 8: that application, from those partnerships, and we're bringing them that
19:36
Speaker 8: back into the agency and making sure that that information
19:40
Speaker 8: helps us design and deliver the services that people need.
19:45
Speaker 8: But this point about disinformation is absolutely critical to talk
19:49
Speaker 8: about an address right now, because you're right, there's you know,
19:53
Speaker 8: rumor monitoring happening out there about the government's ability to
19:57
Speaker 8: control the weather, and it's just completely incorrect.
20:00
Speaker 2: I mean, as the President said, it's.
20:01
Speaker 8: Just ridiculous, right, and it's damaging, and it's actually quite
20:06
Speaker 8: dangerous because we need people to heed the warnings of
20:11
Speaker 8: the and the advisories that we're putting out there, especially
20:15
Speaker 8: when it comes to life saving information like weather forecasts
20:19
Speaker 8: of hurricane forecast.
20:25
Speaker 5: Well, I went to the Noah Library in wake of
20:29
Speaker 5: their comments on disinformation, and what did I find. I
20:32
Speaker 5: found some information that's both unsettling and very revealing, especially
20:37
Speaker 5: when we get into some federal law and what I
20:40
Speaker 5: found out. Again, Jane works for Noah and this is
20:43
Speaker 5: from Noah's own website, their own library Weather Modification Project
20:48
Speaker 5: reports what is weather modification any activity performed with the
20:53
Speaker 5: intention of producing artificial changes in the composition, behavior, or
20:56
Speaker 5: dynamics of the atmosphere. And it gives Code of FED
21:00
Speaker 5: Regulations references what role does NOAH play in weather mod
21:04
Speaker 5: Companies that intend to engage in weather mod activities within
21:07
Speaker 5: the US are required by the Weather Modification Active nineteen
21:11
Speaker 5: seventy six and Active Congress to provide a report to
21:15
Speaker 5: the Administrator of Noah at least ten days prior to
21:18
Speaker 5: modifying the weather. These reports, et cetera, et cetera. And
21:22
Speaker 5: if you violate it, if you don't give enough advanced notice,
21:25
Speaker 5: if you're a university or a government agency and you
21:28
Speaker 5: try and modify the weather, you can defined ten thousand dollars.
21:32
Speaker 5: And there's miscellaneous and sundry information here. It mentions that
21:37
Speaker 5: Noah does not research or conduct any kind of activity
21:40
Speaker 5: directly with weather modification. They simply monitor other people doing it.
21:45
Speaker 5: Now here's where it gets really revealing. They talk about
21:49
Speaker 5: weather modification activities being defined as any activity perform with
21:54
Speaker 5: the intention of producing artificial changes in the composition, behavior,
21:57
Speaker 5: or dynamics of the atmosphere, and the following, when conducted
22:02
Speaker 5: as weather modification activities, shall be reported. And the key
22:06
Speaker 5: thing here is that by listing the things that you're
22:10
Speaker 5: supposed to give them notice about, and if you don't
22:13
Speaker 5: give them notice, you'll be fined. In so doing. They
22:17
Speaker 5: admit that there's all different kinds of weather modification, not
22:20
Speaker 5: just cloud seating, which is the most common. But here
22:23
Speaker 5: I'll read some of these seating or dispersing of any
22:27
Speaker 5: substance into clouds or fog to alter drop size distribution.
22:31
Speaker 5: That's cloud seating number two. Using fires or heat sources
22:35
Speaker 5: to influence conductive circulation or to evaporate fog number three.
22:40
Speaker 5: Modifying the solar radiation exchange of the earth or clouds
22:44
Speaker 5: through the release of gases, dust, liquids, or aerosols in
22:47
Speaker 5: the atmosphere. Again, by listing these prohibited activities, they're saying
22:53
Speaker 5: that they exist. They're saying that these technologies already exist.
22:57
Speaker 5: Others include modifying the character sticks of land or water
23:01
Speaker 5: surfaces by dusting or treating with powders, liquid sprays, dyes,
23:06
Speaker 5: or other materials. Releasing electrically charged or radioactive particles or
23:11
Speaker 5: ions into the atmosphere as another one. Number six. Get
23:14
Speaker 5: this one applying shock waves, sonic energy sources, or other
23:18
Speaker 5: explosive or acoustic sources to the atmosphere. Seven using aircraft, propeller,
23:24
Speaker 5: downwashed jetwasher, other sources of artificial wind generation. Eight And
23:31
Speaker 5: listen to this one using lasers or other sources of
23:33
Speaker 5: electromagnetic radiation or other activities undertaken with the intent to
23:38
Speaker 5: modify the weather or climate. So this is very, very revealing,
23:44
Speaker 5: and we'll move on from there and wind this up.
23:47
Speaker 1: Now.
23:47
Speaker 5: This was referred to in the Noah Literature of Public
23:51
Speaker 5: Act ninety two two oh five. This is the original
23:55
Speaker 5: Weather Modification Reporting Act of nineteen seventy two. Get the year.
24:00
Speaker 5: Modification of the weather was known, We had the technologies
24:04
Speaker 5: to do it, and we wrote a law about it
24:06
Speaker 5: as far back as nineteen seventy two. And then there
24:09
Speaker 5: was the National Weather Modification Policy Act of nineteen seventy
24:12
Speaker 5: six that may have superseded the nineteen seventy two law.
24:16
Speaker 5: I'm not sure about that part. Anyway, Let's stick with
24:19
Speaker 5: that slide. There's a couple other important matters on that
24:23
Speaker 5: I'll read the ones I underlined and emphasized. Number two,
24:27
Speaker 5: weather modification technology has significant potential for preventing, diverting, moderating,
24:33
Speaker 5: or ameliorating the adverse effects of disasters, hurricanes, drought, tornadoes, hail, lightning, floods,
24:39
Speaker 5: all that stuff, and enhancing crop production and water availability.
24:44
Speaker 5: And skipping the number four that I also emphasized, weather
24:48
Speaker 5: modification programs may have long range and unexpected effects on
24:53
Speaker 5: existing climatic patterns and disaster relief. Just going back to
25:00
Speaker 5: three a little bit require appropriate federal action to prevent
25:04
Speaker 5: or alleviate such disasters and hazards. And the takeaway point
25:07
Speaker 5: Mike here is that what this law is saying is
25:11
Speaker 5: that the government is basically beholden to go ahead and
25:15
Speaker 5: conduct activities that would prevent bad weather. And so we've
25:20
Speaker 5: had all these bad weather episodes lately to bank hurricanes.
25:24
Speaker 5: There doesn't appear to be any activity by the government
25:27
Speaker 5: to ameliorate or prevent or reduce the severity of these storms,
25:32
Speaker 5: even though these old laws basically require them to. Again
25:36
Speaker 5: very revealing and unsettling. And just to wind up here,
25:40
Speaker 5: the second Brookings event, again taking place right before the
25:45
Speaker 5: Azerbijan un summit featured Todd Stern, an author. I took
25:50
Speaker 5: all these pictures at both Brookings events as original photos
25:54
Speaker 5: through through the screenshot, and Todd Stern went over some
25:58
Speaker 5: basics about climate He published a book in that to
26:03
Speaker 5: that effect. And we'll move on a little bit and
26:06
Speaker 5: just I beg your pardon, kind of summarize this. I'll
26:12
Speaker 5: cherry pick this he called. Todd Stern called the Paris
26:16
Speaker 5: Climate Agreement one of the most important agreements in the
26:19
Speaker 5: twenty first century and in the last one hundred years
26:22
Speaker 5: quote unquote. He says there have been pro agreement naysayers
26:26
Speaker 5: complaining that the Paris Pact is not binding, but he
26:29
Speaker 5: said it's actually structured to be part legally binding. In
26:32
Speaker 5: part not quote unquote. The climate targets CO two emission
26:37
Speaker 5: limits for instance, that each country submits are not binding. However,
26:42
Speaker 5: there's all sorts of rules in the engagement, such as
26:45
Speaker 5: the transparency rule that is binding. Countries have to regularly
26:49
Speaker 5: submit new climate change compliance targets. And lastly they're talking
26:54
Speaker 5: about that for all the countries to get on board
26:59
Speaker 5: with climate change in the way that they're pursuing it,
27:02
Speaker 5: they're looking at pooling at least one hundred billion a
27:04
Speaker 5: year one hundred billion per year by developing countries, and
27:08
Speaker 5: there's actually talk now of investing up to two trillion
27:12
Speaker 5: a year to adhere or to comply with all the
27:17
Speaker 5: rules and regulations that would bring about the climate change
27:20
Speaker 5: they want. And this last slide for now, we can
27:22
Speaker 5: stop here. I found that there was a huge onslaught
27:25
Speaker 5: of headlines talking about doom and gloom regarding the regarding
27:31
Speaker 5: the climate as we lead up to that UN summit.
27:33
Speaker 5: People can check out the slides for themselves to see
27:36
Speaker 5: what the media has been reporting in its flood of
27:39
Speaker 5: information leading up again to that summit. So back to you, Mike,
27:44
Speaker 5: it's a lot to unpack, but that's it for now.
27:48
Speaker 1: Thanks Mark. Okay, If you like what the UK Column
27:52
Speaker 1: does and you would like to support us, please go

Speaker 1: get a small percentage if you buy anything at Clivedecarl
28:10
Speaker 1: dot com. But as we were talking about yesterday, please
28:15
Speaker 1: have a look at the share icons on every article
28:19
Speaker 1: and video that we publish on the UK column website.
28:22
Speaker 1: Please use them and try to counteract the effects of
28:25
Speaker 1: the algorithms. And of course you can have a look
28:28
Speaker 1: at comments that other members have made by clicking on
28:32
Speaker 1: that link. Now, in the meantime, let's get onto the
28:35
Speaker 1: issue of online safety and OFCOM has published its Global
28:40
Speaker 1: Regulators Index of Online Safety PARS. Now. This is created
28:46
Speaker 1: by an organization called the Global Online Safety Regulators Network
28:50
Speaker 1: and they publish their regulatory Index which provides, they say,
28:54
Speaker 1: a comparison of how the international online safety regulators are
28:57
Speaker 1: approaching the respective regulatory duty. So the number of countries
29:02
Speaker 1: in this Global Online Safety Regulators Network at the moment
29:06
Speaker 1: is shown on this map. So we've got the United Kingdom, Ireland, France,
29:09
Speaker 1: the Netherlands is actually included as well. We've got Slovakia,
29:13
Speaker 1: South Africa, Australia, South Korea and Fiji. And so they
29:18
Speaker 1: are extremely excited to talk about how they are developing
29:22
Speaker 1: their online safety regulations across the world, because we've got
29:26
Speaker 1: to make sure that nobody can say anything which is
29:28
Speaker 1: not permitted, and so they are highlighting how each country
29:33
Speaker 1: is doing against the various regulatory remits that they have,
29:36
Speaker 1: for example, developing and enforcing code standards and guidance, proactive
29:41
Speaker 1: content scanning, receiving and investigating individual user complaints and so on.
29:46
Speaker 1: You can see how each of the countries is doing there.
29:49
Speaker 1: And then another graphic that they've produced is all about
29:52
Speaker 1: how they're regulating online harms, including things like disinformation and
30:00
Speaker 1: illegal content and so on and so forth. And the
30:03
Speaker 1: next one here is on regulated entity, so that social
30:06
Speaker 1: media services, hosting in storage services, gaming services, application distribution
30:12
Speaker 1: services and so on. So they're very keen to make
30:14
Speaker 1: sure they have an all encompassing regulatory regime right around
30:18
Speaker 1: the world to cover this. But one of the major
30:22
Speaker 1: concerns that OFCOM in particular have had in recent days
30:25
Speaker 1: and weeks has been the kind of content that we
30:28
Speaker 1: saw at the time of the recent riots in the UK,
30:32
Speaker 1: and Dave Melanie Dawes has written a letter to the
30:36
Speaker 1: government on this saying thank you for your letter of
30:39
Speaker 1: the sixteenth of October. I share our commitment to ensuring
30:42
Speaker 1: that the Online Safety Act is implemented as quickly as possible.
30:46
Speaker 1: The hitful and violent disorder we saw in the aftermath
30:50
Speaker 1: of the horrific attack at Southport is this summer is
30:52
Speaker 1: a matter of great concern to us both from the
30:56
Speaker 1: end of this year. Firms must initially assess the risks
30:59
Speaker 1: associated with illegality on their platforms, and then, once our
31:03
Speaker 1: codes of practice are inforced, use the measures we've recommended
31:06
Speaker 1: or other effective measures to mitigate these risks. And she's
31:10
Speaker 1: mentioned that posts about the Southport incident and subsequent events
31:14
Speaker 1: from high profile accounts reached millions of users, demonstrating the
31:18
Speaker 1: role that virality and algorithmic recommendations can play in driving
31:23
Speaker 1: divisive narratives at a crisis period. So OFCOM absolutely blaming
31:29
Speaker 1: the content on the platforms for driving the riots in
31:34
Speaker 1: the summer and the need for the platforms therefore shut
31:38
Speaker 1: down what she described as illegal content. But I'm not
31:42
Speaker 1: sure that very much of it was actually illegal. It
31:44
Speaker 1: may be misinformed, it may have been ill advised, but
31:47
Speaker 1: I'm not certain that it was illegal. And so we've
31:50
Speaker 1: got to be very careful about this and whether we're
31:52
Speaker 1: seeing the creeping back of this idea of legal but harmful.
31:57
Speaker 1: In the meantime, OFCOM is now consulting on how they're
32:00
Speaker 1: going to fund themselves during as they roll out the
32:03
Speaker 1: Online Safety Act, so this is the first consultation. They
32:06
Speaker 1: say that Offcom as a regulator of the Online Safety
32:09
Speaker 1: Act in twenty twenty three. Sorry, Online Safety Act twenty
32:12
Speaker 1: twenty three is publishing as part of our work to
32:14
Speaker 1: implement a new new fees and penalties regime to online safety.
32:18
Speaker 1: So if you go to that page, you'll find a
32:21
Speaker 1: response for I don't know whether this is open to
32:23
Speaker 1: the public or not, but maybe you might want to
32:26
Speaker 1: give you your thoughts on this anyway. And I just
32:29
Speaker 1: want to take this opportunity to remind everybody that we
32:32
Speaker 1: streamed out a special UK column news yesterday on taking
32:35
Speaker 1: the fight to the censors. If you haven't seen this yet,
32:37
Speaker 1: please do watch it now. We did stream this on
32:41
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel because it's fairly safe to do that
32:44
Speaker 1: since we're not talking about certain topics. As I'm sure
32:47
Speaker 1: everybody understands what I'm talking about. We do want everybody
32:51
Speaker 1: that is watching other independent media other than the UK
32:55
Speaker 1: Column to get involved in helping promote this and send
33:01
Speaker 1: this video to those people because we want to hear
33:03
Speaker 1: from anybody that wants to get involved in this fight.
33:06
Speaker 1: And as I say, that was streamed out on the
33:07
Speaker 1: UK Column YouTube channel. We've just got slightly under ninety
33:11
Speaker 1: five thousand subscribers on there. If you're on YouTube and
33:15
Speaker 1: you use YouTube, do subscribe to it. Let's get it
33:17
Speaker 1: up to one hundred thousand. Let's have a bit of
33:19
Speaker 1: fun with these people. We want to carry out some
33:22
Speaker 1: kind of sacrificial event around the silver plaque that people
33:27
Speaker 1: get when they reach one hundred thousand subscribers. So let's
33:29
Speaker 1: see if we can get to one hundred thousand before
33:31
Speaker 1: we get this channel shut down again. But anyway, in
33:34
Speaker 1: the meantime, we are taking the fight to the censors.
33:37
Speaker 1: Watch that video. Please distribute it as far and wide
33:40
Speaker 1: as you possibly can, but certainly to any other online
33:44
Speaker 1: media or independent media organizations that you watch and are
33:49
Speaker 1: in contact with. Debbie. Let's come back to you then,
33:52
Speaker 1: and more on.
33:54
Speaker 2: Health, that's another thing, whether it's a consultation or whether
33:58
Speaker 2: it's treatment. You're a sea. We would like to think
34:01
Speaker 2: that at UK Column we can give you an informed choice,
34:05
Speaker 2: or at least the red flags or the pointers where
34:08
Speaker 2: to go to get an informed choice. No, not so
34:12
Speaker 2: much more than today. Have a look at this article
34:14
Speaker 2: in The Conservative Woman. I'm not going to go into
34:16
Speaker 2: it in any depth. It's called when a JAB Doesn't Work?
34:19
Speaker 2: Just change the name. It's a very very good article
34:22
Speaker 2: and you'll see why as we go further into this section.
34:26
Speaker 2: Lot to cover. So, courtesy of Sanofi, we have a
34:30
Speaker 2: quadruvulent influenza vaccine split viian inactivated high dose suspension for
34:36
Speaker 2: injection in a pre filled syringe, basically the flu JAB.
34:40
Speaker 2: Do you know what you're getting? And do you notice
34:43
Speaker 2: that there was a black triangle there? And I just
34:46
Speaker 2: want to highlight this black triangle. I've marked it in
34:48
Speaker 2: red here. We've done loads of work on black triangle,
34:51
Speaker 2: including an article I wrote about which is called when
34:54
Speaker 2: is Enough Enough? A black triangle is a medicine that's
34:57
Speaker 2: subject to extra monitoring. And this particular injection is for
35:01
Speaker 2: the over sixties. So what are the warnings, Well, many
35:04
Speaker 2: conditions have been contraindicated, including Gillanbarroy syndrome post vaccination. If
35:11
Speaker 2: you have a temperature or you're unwell, or your immune deficiency,
35:16
Speaker 2: they're recommendations for you not to take this injection and
35:19
Speaker 2: to speak to your doctor first. And there's also severe
35:23
Speaker 2: allergic reactions, including a medical emergency of anaphylaxis. So do
35:27
Speaker 2: you know what you're taking. It also goes on to
35:30
Speaker 2: say that this injection should not be given in the
35:33
Speaker 2: same limb, and if it's going to be given at
35:36
Speaker 2: the same time as another injection, there is a likelihood
35:40
Speaker 2: of an exacerbation of intensified, serious adverse reactions. And finally,
35:45
Speaker 2: on this particular injection, it should not be given to children,
35:50
Speaker 2: pregnant women, or breastfeeding mums unless you've got explicit instructions
35:56
Speaker 2: from your doctor. Although I would think again for all
35:58
Speaker 2: of these injections, please do your research. Let's stay on
36:03
Speaker 2: injections because Professor Christopher Witty recently exter that we've got
36:07
Speaker 2: a fantastic new nourovirus mRNA vaccine trial courtesy of the NIHR,
36:15
Speaker 2: and this is also courtesy of Maderna. This is the
36:19
Speaker 2: Nova three to one trial. And I just want to
36:22
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about this because I'm quite shocked. Actually,
36:26
Speaker 2: norovirus is known as the winter vomiting condition. It can
36:31
Speaker 2: close down hospitals, which is an alarm belt of course,
36:33
Speaker 2: but it normally goes away. Is vomiting, a diarrhea, temperature, fever, aching,
36:39
Speaker 2: but it normally goes away in two days. I am
36:42
Speaker 2: shocked that we are looking or that they are looking
36:45
Speaker 2: to do a clinical trial. And mRNA mRNA anyway full
36:49
Speaker 2: stop is bad enough, but for a neurovirus it's even worse.
36:53
Speaker 2: And I believe that they're warning ahead of this now
36:56
Speaker 2: because they say that the tests now, they're testing fifty
37:00
Speaker 2: more people positive for nourovirus already, so we can see
37:04
Speaker 2: where this is going. And with one hundred day mission,
37:08
Speaker 2: is this going to mean that we're going to get
37:09
Speaker 2: a maderna mRNA jab for norovirus rolled out within one
37:14
Speaker 2: hundred days. I don't know. But Dr Zoe Harkam, who's
37:18
Speaker 2: she's a food expert and obesity expert, she's pretty shocked already.
37:24
Speaker 2: So more to come on that story. And sticking with X,
37:28
Speaker 2: I just want to highlight Rupert low MP, who's the
37:31
Speaker 2: reform MP for great Yarmouth. Eleven point nine million so
37:36
Speaker 2: far has been wiped off the debt of people foreign
37:41
Speaker 2: visitors coming in and not paying their bills, and there's
37:44
Speaker 2: more outstanding. This is your money. Got this from a
37:48
Speaker 2: freezom of information. So just cracking on again with more
37:52
Speaker 2: health stories. I just want to get as many in
37:54
Speaker 2: as I can please to remind you of the PFISA
37:57
Speaker 2: situation Room that Cheryl Grainger and Mike have set up
38:00
Speaker 2: where you will find facts. You will find the latest
38:04
Speaker 2: analysis and the language is facts and also facts. Again,
38:10
Speaker 2: we provide facts with irrefutable evidence. With John Budwin his
38:14
Speaker 2: interviews we've shown. Please go back and look at them
38:17
Speaker 2: because these are facts. Part one and Part two. The
38:21
Speaker 2: reason I'm talking about the fact that the UK column
38:23
Speaker 2: give you facts is because I'm going to go back
38:25
Speaker 2: to that BBC story that Mike was talking about earlier.
38:29
Speaker 2: Fergus Walsh, the Health correspondent, is the system letting down
38:32
Speaker 2: people who are harmed by COVID vaccines. They say that
38:36
Speaker 2: the Oxford astrozeneca was credited with saving millions of lives. Really,
38:41
Speaker 2: I don't know where the evidence of those millions of
38:43
Speaker 2: lives are, but they do admit that it's also responsible
38:46
Speaker 2: for causing rare blood clots which could be fatal. They get.
38:51
Speaker 2: They then go on to say that they need to
38:53
Speaker 2: discuss not just the huge positives. I'm not quite sure
38:57
Speaker 2: where those huge positives are, but the small minor left
39:01
Speaker 2: injured or bereathed a tiny fraction. At the last count,
39:05
Speaker 2: there were three hundred thousand back in twenty twenty one
39:07
Speaker 2: of serious adverse reactions from the COVID vaccine. It would appear,
39:11
Speaker 2: he says that they've been airbrushed out of the pandemic. However,
39:15
Speaker 2: they go on to say that they admit that nothing
39:18
Speaker 2: in life is free from risk. A bit late now,
39:21
Speaker 2: isn't it, the BBC? And they also say that there
39:23
Speaker 2: is plenty of well documented benefits for the vaccine. I'm
39:28
Speaker 2: not sure that I've seen that just recently, and apparently
39:30
Speaker 2: this vaccine has been credited with saving six point three
39:34
Speaker 2: million lives. I'm not sure where that data comes from either.
39:38
Speaker 2: They also go on to talk about social contract. Have
39:40
Speaker 2: you heard about social contract? Twenty five million adults have
39:44
Speaker 2: had ASTROZENECA. And of course they're going on about the
39:48
Speaker 2: estimation this language estimation UK column. We provide facts. It
39:53
Speaker 2: seems to be that the BBC are estimation using estimations,
39:57
Speaker 2: and they say that even those US adverse reactions are
40:01
Speaker 2: a rare, a rare event. It's a kind of social contract.
40:06
Speaker 2: It's really a kind of social contract between the individual
40:10
Speaker 2: and state. And you know, in the late nineteen seventies
40:13
Speaker 2: and between to twenty twenty, there were below six five
40:17
Speaker 2: hundred claims under the vaccine damage payment scheme. So far
40:22
Speaker 2: since the COVID vaccine, we have a fourteen thousand have
40:26
Speaker 2: made claims and only one hundred and eighty have been awarded.
40:30
Speaker 2: And we know that astrosenica is responsible for causing blood
40:34
Speaker 2: clots in brain which can be fatal and even more
40:39
Speaker 2: insult to injury. Astrazeneka apologize they cannot comment because of
40:44
Speaker 2: ongoing litigation. They send their sympathy. They say that patient
40:49
Speaker 2: safety is of the highest priority and they insist that
40:52
Speaker 2: the JAB has an acceptable safety profile. I'll let you
40:57
Speaker 2: all join your conclusions from there. Moving on now to
41:00
Speaker 2: Sky News from the BBC to Sky News who announced
41:04
Speaker 2: that the NHS again are going to trial what the
41:07
Speaker 2: NHS seemed to be the Experimental Central because of all
41:12
Speaker 2: the data it has superhuman AI for helping predict and
41:17
Speaker 2: helping predict disease and early death. And further on, we're
41:21
Speaker 2: looking in ECGs here and we're going to be looking
41:25
Speaker 2: at trialing them. This is down to Imperial College, same
41:28
Speaker 2: old names as per normal. There's going to be lots
41:30
Speaker 2: of other sites which I will confirm to you in
41:33
Speaker 2: a minute, and this is using the air system which
41:37
Speaker 2: is the AI ECG risk And apparently a AIR was
41:41
Speaker 2: able to correctly identify patient's risk of death in the
41:44
Speaker 2: next ten years in seventy eight percent of cases according
41:48
Speaker 2: to research and Lancet Digital Health. That will be interesting,
41:51
Speaker 2: But what's the goal? So the goal is that all
41:54
Speaker 2: ECGs in the future, in five to ten years time,
41:58
Speaker 2: will be done via a A Why are we expecting
42:01
Speaker 2: so many people to be having cardiac problems? Why are
42:04
Speaker 2: we expecting people to have so many ECGs moving forward?
42:08
Speaker 2: And when I looked at Cardiology Advisor and another article,
42:12
Speaker 2: they say that it's literally going to be testing the pulse.
42:16
Speaker 2: And they go on to say and make it plain
42:19
Speaker 2: that the healthcare information that is accessed through this will
42:22
Speaker 2: be highly protected and AI will require new regulations and safeguards.
42:27
Speaker 2: Where we've already spoken a couple of weeks ago about
42:30
Speaker 2: AC the AI Safety Institute, and we know that that's
42:33
Speaker 2: a public private partnership, But what does this actually mean. Well,
42:37
Speaker 2: going back to what we're streeting was saying, we're going
42:39
Speaker 2: back to wearables, so smart watches, smartphones, apps, We're going
42:45
Speaker 2: to have apps that are going to warn you of
42:47
Speaker 2: cardiac emergency before it even happens. We're also going to
42:51
Speaker 2: use this AI technology in cardiac surgery, heart surgery, enhanced
42:57
Speaker 2: heart surgery. But what does the British Heart Foundations say,
43:01
Speaker 2: because we know Patrick Valance and many others are involved
43:04
Speaker 2: in the British Heart Foundation, another big revolving door. Well,
43:07
Speaker 2: they say that, yes, this is going to be used
43:10
Speaker 2: to detect heart disease in record speed, how quickly. Well,
43:15
Speaker 2: I'm telling you now, this is very quick. This is
43:17
Speaker 2: while you're in the scanner and you're having a scan
43:20
Speaker 2: twenty seconds, an AI will analyze your ECG and it's
43:25
Speaker 2: going to be more precise, it's going to be in confidence,
43:29
Speaker 2: it's going to free uploads of times, and it's going
43:32
Speaker 2: to extract far more information. So basically we're going to
43:36
Speaker 2: be freeing up tons of time. We're going to be
43:38
Speaker 2: using this, I'm sorry to say, in hospitals that I've
43:41
Speaker 2: practiced in University College Hospital, Barts and the Royal Free
43:45
Speaker 2: and it's going to be rolled out all over the time,
43:47
Speaker 2: all over the place. Of course, we're going to be
43:49
Speaker 2: saving doctors a load of time. We're going to be
43:51
Speaker 2: clearing the backlogs. But they need the public support, They
43:56
Speaker 2: really need public support. On this, and I just want
43:59
Speaker 2: you to know that they want to campaign powering through science.
44:04
Speaker 2: This is all about testing in the UK. And just
44:07
Speaker 2: to finish this segment because there are so many news
44:10
Speaker 2: stories and I'm so scared that I'm missing out things
44:13
Speaker 2: that I know mean a lot to people. But i
44:15
Speaker 2: just want to end on the assisted Dying Bill because
44:18
Speaker 2: we know that this is just coming into Parliament at
44:21
Speaker 2: the end of November, so there's both relief and fear
44:24
Speaker 2: ahead of this. But west Streeting has announced that he
44:28
Speaker 2: is not voting in favor of assisted dying. He will
44:32
Speaker 2: be voting against it. But much more to come on
44:35
Speaker 2: this in the future.
44:37
Speaker 1: Debbie, thank you very much for that. And Mark, let's
44:40
Speaker 1: come back to you then, and well, what is the
44:43
Speaker 1: case of the future of money?
44:47
Speaker 5: Yesterday, Mike the Washington Post, everybody's favorite newspaper, some call
44:52
Speaker 5: it the compost, did a program a look at the
44:55
Speaker 5: Future of Money, presented by The Post in Washington, DC.
44:58
Speaker 5: Again original screen show photos. I put the title above
45:02
Speaker 5: that digi Money a foregone conclusion question mark Part one.
45:07
Speaker 5: A lot going on here. There's a second half of
45:09
Speaker 5: the presentation that I didn't cover yet, so this is
45:12
Speaker 5: part one over the next one or maybe two weeks,
45:15
Speaker 5: I'll do follow ups on this, but back to that
45:19
Speaker 5: first slide real quickly, please. We have the presenters where S. R.
45:24
Speaker 5: Prasad and Indian American Cornell University professor, economist and author
45:28
Speaker 5: of the Future of Money. He's pretty much the foremost
45:31
Speaker 5: authority they say on central bank, digital currencies and digital
45:35
Speaker 5: money in general. And the other main presenter in the
45:38
Speaker 5: first half yesterday Irene Arias Hoffman, CEO of IDB LAB
45:44
Speaker 5: that's the Interamerican Development Bank. So the Washington Post had
45:48
Speaker 5: a reporter being a host for all this. Basically, here's
45:52
Speaker 5: the gist of it. Artificial intelligence, online lending, cryptocurrencies and
45:56
Speaker 5: emerging technologies are reshaping the future of finance and payments.
46:01
Speaker 5: On Thursday, October twenty four yesterday, investors and experts joined
46:05
Speaker 5: the Post to assess the global payments landscape in the
46:07
Speaker 5: Future of money. And three countries have fully launched a
46:11
Speaker 5: digital currency. I wanted to make sure I note that
46:14
Speaker 5: on this initial report, and they are the Bahamas, Jamaica
46:19
Speaker 5: and Nigeria having launched a digital currency in the full
46:22
Speaker 5: sense Bahamas, Jamaica and Nigeria. Anyway, a bit of a
46:27
Speaker 5: conflict of interest was detectable right up front, and that's
46:31
Speaker 5: why I put that title in a foregone conclusion question mark.
46:35
Speaker 5: Note the Stellar Development Foundation shown on this introductory slide
46:40
Speaker 5: about the future of money, and here's a little bit
46:42
Speaker 5: about them. Built for a mission, the Stellar Development Foundation
46:46
Speaker 5: is a nonprofit created and structured to achieve a mission
46:50
Speaker 5: create equitable access to the global financial system through blockchain technology.
46:56
Speaker 5: We believe that some of today's financial systems aren't designed
46:59
Speaker 5: for everyone, and by leveraging networks like Stellar, we can
47:02
Speaker 5: do our part to change that. So basically, you have
47:05
Speaker 5: a sponsor that has a direct interest in going all
47:09
Speaker 5: digital for money. So therefore the entire conference is pretty
47:14
Speaker 5: much biased toward going with digital money and away from
47:18
Speaker 5: a cash based society. And these are just a couple
47:21
Speaker 5: of questions of my last slide that came up at
47:24
Speaker 5: the program yesterday. One was from a Jill Carroll in Florida.
47:29
Speaker 5: Would the United States ever become cashless or digital only?
47:33
Speaker 5: And in parenthesis sheep what that scares me? Well, mister
47:37
Speaker 5: Prosad basically said, the US and Switzerland are the ones
47:42
Speaker 5: that are really clinging the cash right now, but international
47:45
Speaker 5: payments I'm looking at my notebook from yesterday. International payments
47:48
Speaker 5: for sure will be cashless, and eventually, he said, most
47:53
Speaker 5: or all individual transactions very likely would be cashless, but
47:58
Speaker 5: he understands it may take some time time. He also
48:01
Speaker 5: talked about there is a dark side, the reduced privacy
48:05
Speaker 5: of your actual transactions being fully known and fully recorded,
48:10
Speaker 5: and no longer would you have the privacy of cash
48:13
Speaker 5: and the possibility of your accounts being hacked. Things like that.
48:18
Speaker 5: And also on the second question, we all have apps
48:23
Speaker 5: on our phones and debit cards, why do we need
48:25
Speaker 5: a digital currency? The two presenters were decidedly vague on
48:30
Speaker 5: answering that one. Mike and Irene Hoffman, for her part,
48:35
Speaker 5: said that digital currencies and central bank digital currencies things
48:38
Speaker 5: like that will be very relevant when it comes to remittances.
48:43
Speaker 5: She said countries, poorer countries often have remittances that are
48:47
Speaker 5: thirty percent of their GDP and therefore digital wallets will
48:51
Speaker 5: be used. And people who are separated, isolated, displaced, including migrants,
48:57
Speaker 5: including people working far away from home and other countries,
49:00
Speaker 5: the digital revolution will enable them to send money home
49:03
Speaker 5: more efficiently. Things like that. But anyway, that Mike is
49:08
Speaker 5: kind of the initial report. Stay tuned for the extra
49:13
Speaker 5: and I'll talk about fed now and talk about how
49:17
Speaker 5: fed now was described as not being related to digital
49:20
Speaker 5: currencies or central bank digital currencies, but now they're admitting
49:24
Speaker 5: it more or less. Is so we were right all
49:26
Speaker 5: along about that, and I'll talk about that an extra
49:29
Speaker 5: and I'll have more next week.
49:34
Speaker 1: Let's finish on brickson because if we bring this image
49:39
Speaker 1: on screen first. So this is from the Ministry of
49:41
Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Presidentieshin Paying
49:45
Speaker 1: meets with the Indian Prime Minister Nearendra Moodi. This has
49:49
Speaker 1: been really the emblemotic of the entire event because of
49:55
Speaker 1: the efforts by the West try to split India and
49:58
Speaker 1: China apart from each other. The economists in particular never
50:02
Speaker 1: happy when this kind of thing happens. But anyway, this
50:04
Speaker 1: was the sixteenth Brick Summit at Drudiah closed yesterday in
50:08
Speaker 1: Kazan in Russia. And well this sorry, with this came
50:15
Speaker 1: the announcement of from the nine current members of BRICKS
50:18
Speaker 1: that they had agreed to invite thirteen more countries to join.
50:22
Speaker 1: And this brings another billion people into the bricks or
50:27
Speaker 1: under the auspices of the Bricks. So it now represents
50:30
Speaker 1: over fifty seven percent of the world's population. And well,
50:35
Speaker 1: we had to make sure that we were understanding that
50:38
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth meeting was happening at the same time, because
50:42
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of course also represents half the population of
50:44
Speaker 1: the earth apparently, and so this is definitely a competition
50:49
Speaker 1: going on here in an attempt to keep the developing countries,
50:53
Speaker 1: the so called global South, under the sort of influence
50:57
Speaker 1: of Britain in particular and the wonderful King Charles, who
51:02
Speaker 1: of course is very keen to use the Commonwealth to
51:04
Speaker 1: continue to push his agenda. So anyway, the Bricks released
51:10
Speaker 1: the communicate where they were talking about enhanced enhancing cooperation
51:14
Speaker 1: for global and regional stability and security, and of course
51:18
Speaker 1: they were extremely critical of what Israel is doing in
51:20
Speaker 1: Gaza and in Lebanon fostering and economic and financial cooperation
51:26
Speaker 1: for just global development. And they are talking about it,
51:28
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, as we mentioned a day or two ago,
51:34
Speaker 1: they're talking about creating a new international payment system to
51:38
Speaker 1: sideline the dollar. They're saying they're deeply coerced about the
51:43
Speaker 1: disruptive effect of unlawful, unilateral coersive message measures, including illegal sanctions.
51:49
Speaker 1: But they say at the end here that this is
51:52
Speaker 1: causing problems for the world economy, for international trade, and
51:56
Speaker 1: the achievement of the Sustainable Development goals. So no matter
51:59
Speaker 1: what you go, you will see the sustainable Development goals.
52:02
Speaker 1: But as Marcus pointed out many times in the past,
52:05
Speaker 1: if you look at the titles of each of the
52:07
Speaker 1: sustainable development goals, they in themselves are not a terrible thing.
52:13
Speaker 1: It's when you start looking at the implementation of it.
52:16
Speaker 1: And perhaps there is a difference between what Bricks is
52:19
Speaker 1: attempting to do and what the West would like to
52:21
Speaker 1: do with the Sustainable Development goals we can talk about
52:24
Speaker 1: it's a bit more an extra as well. They said,
52:27
Speaker 1: we underscore the need to reform the current international financial
52:31
Speaker 1: architecture and made the global financial challenges, including global economic
52:37
Speaker 1: governance and so on, to establish a grain trading platform
52:41
Speaker 1: within Bricks and so on. So one person that was
52:45
Speaker 1: sort of hijacked by the mainstream media was George Galloway,
52:49
Speaker 1: and well he had this to say the Sky News.
52:54
Speaker 9: Why, well, it's the beginning of a new world.
52:58
Speaker 10: I think it's the bread to woods of the twenty
53:01
Speaker 10: four centuries. The beginning of new financial, economic and even
53:07
Speaker 10: political structures which will greatly influence the lives of the past.
53:14
Speaker 10: Published probably not ours in Britain will be quite late
53:19
Speaker 10: to the party, I think, But given that half.
53:23
Speaker 11: The world is already in breaks, that breaks already is
53:29
Speaker 11: bigger than the g seven, the so called Giant seven economies.
53:35
Speaker 11: It's axiomatic that our children and children on born going.
53:40
Speaker 10: To field the benefits has on twenty twenty four.
53:47
Speaker 1: So Galloway taking a very positive view of the whole thing.
53:50
Speaker 1: The question is what was the Western media saying about it? Well,
53:54
Speaker 1: let's begin with Mail Online. Puttin's rage at BBC reporter
54:00
Speaker 1: Usian president cannot hide his anger as he's challenged over Ukraine.
54:04
Speaker 1: This was the headline in the in the Mail and
54:08
Speaker 1: they chose a very careful They had a very carefully
54:10
Speaker 1: chosen frame from the video to imply that Putin was
54:14
Speaker 1: absolutely raging. Let's just have a look at the clip
54:18
Speaker 1: and you can decide for yourselves whether you agree with that.
54:21
Speaker 12: Yeah, Bicks tan Orsity Club Urgan in the stab in t.

56:41
Speaker 1: A house no.
56:45
Speaker 13: Special on the nap.
56:50
Speaker 1: Josh Well, absolutely raging there as you can see. But
56:56
Speaker 1: George Galloway, if we come back to the y the
56:59
Speaker 1: Sky News, that was his comment that we saw just
57:03
Speaker 1: before putting there on bricks itself. But then the Sky
57:06
Speaker 1: News journalist was attempting to take the same kind of
57:10
Speaker 1: attack with him. Let's just have a look at this.
57:15
Speaker 1: Ukraine might see this very differently. Of the laws you
57:17
Speaker 1: say influence the lives of people who mut influenced and relives.
57:20
Speaker 10: Yeahcluse your Sky News, that's what you have to ask.
57:25
Speaker 10: But you and our governments, governments of West, are fully
57:32
Speaker 10: responsible for the crisis.
57:34
Speaker 9: In your grain, you're too young to know. But in
57:39
Speaker 9: invade you're too young to know that. In twenty fourteen,
57:45
Speaker 9: the West, including our country, overthrew the elected president of
57:50
Speaker 9: Ukraine and set in training.
57:52
Speaker 10: Didn't listen.
57:54
Speaker 11: I'm here to talk about the drinks if you want
57:56
Speaker 11: to talk about the drinks.
57:57
Speaker 1: Room gain not all in point.
57:59
Speaker 11: You just bump into me in the cordont I have
58:03
Speaker 11: I think graciously agreed to talk to you. Don't try
58:06
Speaker 11: and put me on the trap.
58:10
Speaker 1: Absolutely right, So let's just finish this with this headline
58:15
Speaker 1: in Business insider bricks. New declaration shows Russia war still
58:20
Speaker 1: can't get the international backing that Moscow wants and very much,
58:25
Speaker 1: you know, reiterating again this theme that Putin is on
58:30
Speaker 1: his own in the world. So I just thought we
58:33
Speaker 1: would end with this little bit of video. It is
58:36
Speaker 1: from our tea, and anybody that wants to make accusations
58:38
Speaker 1: that we're pushing Russian propaganda here, that's up to you.
58:41
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, I
58:43
Speaker 1: think Galloway was pretty close to being absolutely bang on
58:46
Speaker 1: there with those comments to the Sky News journalist. Putin
58:49
Speaker 1: was not angry. And when we look at the number
58:52
Speaker 1: of headlines we've seen over the last two or three
58:54
Speaker 1: years about Putting dying from cancer today and all this
58:57
Speaker 1: other stuff that we've seen, is it any wonder that
59:01
Speaker 1: there's criticism of the West position on this. But let's
59:05
Speaker 1: just have a look at this from our tea. Putin
