Good afternoon. It's Wednesday, the twenty ninth of May twenty twenty four,
0:11
just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Colin News. I'm your host Mike
0:14
Robson. Joining me in the studio today is Charles Mallett. Welcome to the
0:17
program, Charles, Mike, and from Damascus as usual is Vanessa Billy No,
0:23
Vanessa. We're going to get started off with RAFA. We mentioned it
0:27
briefly on Monday, but you've got the details. Yes, I'm sure everybody
0:33
is well aware of what happened on Sunday night with the Israeli bombing of what
0:38
was effectively a refugee camp close to the Honor UN Agency. So this is
0:46
just a little video to recap for everyone, if we can just roll that,
1:00
mh. I mean really, as the UN described that this was an
1:49
abomination, and we've seen plenty of massacres in the last seven months inside Crosser
2:00
even also in the occupied territories, but this game in the context, and
2:04
I think this is one of the interesting points to make. So this bombardment
2:08
was basically, as I said, an unrah area safe area. Supposedly the
2:15
Canessa is the whole preliminary vote designating Unrah a terror organization after their absolutely fraudulent
2:23
claim that members from US were working with Unrah from the seventh of October onwards,
2:30
bearing in mind of course that Hamas is the official recognized government of Gards.
2:37
Also it came at the time also or just after the ICJ International Criminal
2:44
Court guards are ruling, Israel was ordered to halt its Rougher offensive open the
2:50
Gaza Egypt crossing for aid, which has effectively been close since the seventh of
2:54
October, thanks both to Israel and Egypt. And of course, at the
3:00
same time as the ICC had put in a request for arrest warrants for Natamyahu.
3:07
And you have Gallant. Now, I just want to play those not
3:10
my favorite person, and I apologize for putting him out there again. But
3:15
let's have a look at how the US basically refuses to say that even this
3:22
massacre has not crossed any red line for human rights abuses and war crimes.
3:28
So this is John Kirby speaking to reporters repeating believe that the US doesn't want
3:36
to see a major ground operation in Rapa, but Israeli thing has just moved
3:39
into central rap Up. How is that not major military at all again,
3:44
I don't want to talk about Israeli defense force operations, but my understanding is,
3:49
and I believe the Israelis have spoken to this, that they are moving
3:52
along something called the Philadelphi Corridor, which is on the outskirts of the town,
3:57
not in the town proper. That's what these Raelies have said. We
4:00
don't want to see a major ground operation. We haven't seen that at this
4:03
point. How many more charred corpses does he have to see before the president
4:12
considers the change of problem. We don't want to see a single more innocent
4:15
life taken. And I kind of take a little offense at the question.
4:19
No civilian casualties is the right number of civilian casualties? And this is not
4:24
something that we've turned a blind eye to, nor has it been something we've
4:27
ignored or neglected to raise with our Israeli counterparts, including ED this weekend as
4:32
a result of this particular strike, now they're investigating it. So let's let
4:36
them investigate it and see what they come up with. Unfortunately, for Kabe,
4:45
the headline in Jewish media, in Hebrew media, IDF thanks roll into
4:51
Central Offer in an unprecedented thrust into the city. So either the information that
4:59
he was given is wrong or yet again he's trying to blush details. Basically,
5:05
reaction internationally was strong against massacre and ruffa from Spain, Norway, Ireland,
5:13
as the Foreign Minister in Ireland said one count Balman area like that without
5:16
shooing consequences in terms of innocent children and civilians. All of these countries are
5:24
speaking about a Palestinian state. Personally, I think a two state solution is
5:31
playing lip service to the Zionist entity and it should basically be up to Palestinians
5:39
to be able to liberate the territories that have been taken from them by the
5:43
occupying force, including territory that has been taken since the seventh of October.
5:47
Even a member of the Israeli Knesse Tumaslyman, this bloody government refuses to obey
5:55
all orders of the tribunal and is taking the madness and vindictiveness a new criminal
6:00
level. What did Natania who have to say? Bearing in mind Kirby is
6:04
waiting for the results of a war criminal nation investigation into its own war crimes.
6:13
Netaniaho Rufa strike is a tragic accident. Will never cave to Hammers.
6:17
While the un IS as they said, calling it the most cruel abomination as
6:23
you weighed up the ideas of sanctions on Israel. But within twenty four hours
6:30
having called Ruffa the first rough bombing and mistake, at least twenty one were
6:36
built in Israeli attacks on tent camp near Gazaz Rauffa and again close to an
6:44
unrash agency center and warehouse. And I just wanted to show this. This
6:49
was from a Haretz article, so this was Rafa three April twenty twenty four.
6:59
You can that the majority of the buildings are intact. And this is
7:03
how Raffer looks now from a satellite image, so we can see the extent
7:10
to which Israel has effectively destroyed this entire area, which was sold by Israel
7:15
as being a safe area. And we shouldn't forget who has given Israel the
7:24
grim light to carry out these massacres. Biden Sunak frond Len, who is
7:30
facing an ICC prosecution for her complicity in genocide, and of course Heir Starmer.
7:39
And when I went to Twitter, both Kara Stana and Richie Sooner to
7:44
see what they had potentially said about this appalling massacre. Imagine that this has
7:49
been an attack carried out by RuSHA against Ukraine, they would be all over
7:55
Twitter in outrage. But in reality, on the very day that the attack
8:01
was carried out, this is what she sooner was doing. Play the video.
8:31
I'm not sure what to say at the end of that, but there
8:35
you go. No, there's not really much to say, Vanessa. And
8:37
of course these people are effectively enabling this, so playing bowls and playing at
8:46
politics at this time. Well, I think that clearly, it seems to
8:50
me that that this topic and the issue of what's going on Gaza is off
8:54
the table as far as the election is concerned. I think that all you
8:58
know, both sides of the at least the two main parties see this is
9:03
a divisive issue and they don't want to go near it at election time.
9:07
Yeah. Absolutely, but I think with demonstrations that have been going on since
9:11
their rough massacre, they're going to be forced to confront the situation at some
9:16
point. Yes, indeed, Okay, thank you very much for that.
9:20
Now let's come back to the UK and at least initially anyway, Now,
9:26
on Monday, we were talking about this issue of national service and if you
9:31
remember, were drawing parallels with what Admirals to Tony Radigin had said earlier in
9:37
the year with respect to conscription and not being in a traditional sense of the
9:43
word, that they were using the term conscription back in January and whatnot.
9:46
No, it's not just the UK at least not just the Tory party that's
9:52
talking about this. This is something that's being talked about in other European countries
9:56
as well. So here is how line. Italy's League party introduces bill to
10:01
bring back compulsory military service. This is from the twenty second in May.
10:07
Bill proposes six months of civil or military service for eighteen to twenty six year
10:11
olds. It's not just Italy. In Germany, this is your active saying
10:15
Germany mules reintroducing conscription. This one is from March this year. But actually
10:22
Germany just in the last couple of days has been talking about pulling back from
10:26
making it a compulsory thing. So Germany attempting to talk about it this in
10:30
the same kind of language as the UK as being a voluntary sort of thing,
10:35
at least initially. So this is the buddhistverh saying voluntary military service an
10:41
opportunity, not an obligation. Security cannot be taken for granted, protecting Germany
10:46
and its citizens is and wilbermain the central mission of the Bundhesvar. In the
10:50
future, everyone can do their part to defend their values, which whose values?
10:54
Because of course, the response to this, at least in the UK
11:00
suspect further afield, has been another rejection of the entire idea. So I
11:05
see, as far as I can see, on one hand, governments needing
11:09
the personnel because they're clearly on the war footing now and they see the need
11:13
in the not to distant future four people at a time, particularly in the
11:16
UK, as we mentioned on Monday, where there is a complete inability to
11:22
recruit for the military, so they're trying to force people into it, but
11:26
nonetheless at least initially talking about it being a voluntary thing. In the meantime,
11:33
what do we have going on? Well, a few days ago in
11:35
the Economist, the economists that have viewed Jan Stoltenberg, Sectary General of Niedle,
11:41
and if you want to see the full interview, it's headline NATO's boss
11:45
wants free to free Ukraine and strike hard inside Russia. And let's just look
11:48
at the complete insanity of what he's saying here the time has come for Allies
11:54
to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they've put on the use
11:56
of weapons that they have donated to you Ukraine, especially now when a lot
12:03
of the fighting is going on in Kharkave close to the border to deny Ukraine.
12:07
The possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes
12:11
it very hard for them to defend themselves. So openly calling for Western weapons
12:18
to be used across the border in Russia. This is a direct attack therefore
12:22
on Russia, and Russia is very clear in its military doctrine about what happens
12:28
in retaliation should that kind of thing take place. But it's not just Doltenberg.
12:35
This is the Russian Parliamentary Assembly pushing out a press release yesterday and they're
12:41
saying in this Ukraine must be provided with all that it needs as quickly as
12:46
possible and for as long as it takes for it to win. It went
12:50
on to say that Allied governments, so called Allied governments need to support Ukraine
12:54
and its international right through defend itself by lifting some restrictions on the use of
12:58
weapons provided by natowhil to strike legitimate targets in Russia, and this is something
13:05
that they describe as a hard hitting declaration. So, of course the response
13:09
from Russia if we just put that back a second. So here's the response
13:13
from Russia. This is Sergei Lavrov. I doubt that the Secretary General can
13:18
take it upon himself to speak on behalf of members of the bloc before the
13:20
issues discussed within NATTO. Well, it seems based on this Parliamentary Assembly press
13:26
release, it has been at least to some degree discussed within NATO. He
13:30
went on to say, I believe that Stottenburg has stepped outside of his authority.
13:33
I think that may be true. This is Dimitri Peskov and his response.
13:39
This cannot be his personal opinion. He is an official. He is
13:43
a Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and that's how we perceive
13:46
it. He went on to say, NATO is increasing the degree of escalation,
13:50
NATO is flirting with warlike rhetoric, falling into wartime ecstasy. This is
13:56
the reality that we have to continue to deal with. I think that's an
14:00
unfair position. What are your thoughts, No, I don't think it's an
14:03
unfair position at all, And I think you know, this entire narrative is
14:09
crafting of an emergency, specifically with regard to the suggestion here of national service.
14:13
It's often said that people forget their history. I think in a sense
14:16
that politicians haven't, although they have no regard for practical delivery troubles because of
14:22
course, the armed forces were enormous. I mean, you know, millions
14:26
of men last time this was tried. But what people forget is how quickly
14:30
it was done. In Military Training Act in nineteen thirty nine, happened before
14:33
the war started. It was in May, two hundred and forty thousand people
14:37
signed up immediately, and then when war was declared in September, the National
14:41
Service Act came into effect that day. So I think people would do well
14:46
to bear in mind how quickly these things can be changed. Yeah, it's
14:50
the unfortunate thing is that should there be a complete rejection of the idea,
14:56
they don't have the prison spaces to put people in so at this point in
14:58
time, so it's a tracking situation for them. Better. It's not just
15:01
Neto. So here's Joseph Perell, the form of so called Foreign Minister of
15:09
the European Commission. Let's listen to this. We discuss also about something which
15:16
has been high in the media and the Secretary General of Nature referring to it.
15:24
It is the possibility of lifting restrictions on Western weapons used by Ukrainian forces
15:31
to target military objectives in Russia territory in self defense. But in Russian territory.
15:39
It's clear that this is a legitimate action on the international law when it
15:46
is being used in a proportional manner. But it's also clear that it is
15:52
a decision for each individual member states to take and to take their responsibility on
15:58
doing debt or not. So Vanessa, very very briefly, I realize I'm
16:06
hijacking a little bit here, but he is now claiming that this would be
16:08
a legitimate action under international law. We're going to come on to the so
16:12
called rules based international order in a minute. But this is just it's a
16:17
perversion of international law. Well, of course it is. You know,
16:22
everything that the West is doing and NATO is doing right now is a distortion
16:26
of international law that is being bent out of shape in order to comply with
16:30
their agendas. Whether it's Israel, whether it's Ukraine, China, International law
16:38
is effectively non existent to the West. Yeah, indeed, so we're going
16:42
to come on a little bit more in a second on that, but just
16:45
to mention again, Rogers here reporting that the Ukrainians at least believe that the
16:49
French are going to send boots on the ground for training in order to train
16:56
personnel in Ukraine, so not to go to the front lines claim. But
17:00
anyway, the French them still still trying to pull back from this position,
17:06
but that seems to be increasingly. Let's come on to the international law aspect
17:11
of this, because there's an article that was published in the Financial Times by
17:15
Gideon Rackman, and it's really quite incredible because he's effectively admitting that the rules
17:22
based international order is basically whatever Britain in the United States decides as it is.
17:26
And he basically says that because it's really something that's mutable and can be
17:33
changed and whatnot, it's just abandoned the term rules based international order completely and
17:37
instead use a completely different term and something which is really just about protecting the
17:47
West or some nonsense like this. So defending the free world, that's what
17:52
it was. So that was what he was trying to do. So we
17:55
need to rebrand and make it defending the free world. In the meantime,
18:00
Zelenski has been in Europe, in Spin in particular, but he's mostly concerned
18:03
about the fact that there's going to be a so called peace conference in Switzerland
18:08
in a few days time, and President Biden might not be there because President
18:12
Biden is also campaigning and he's apparently running a fundraising event or so on.
18:19
But of course Russia hasn't been invited to this peace conference, and so it's
18:25
not a peace conference at all. It's much more about organizing the war effort
18:30
and so on, is how it seems. But he's unhappy that Biden might
18:34
not be there because of electrical commitments. If anybody thinks, of course,
18:40
that getting rid of Sunak is going to get rid of the war agenda and
18:42
that Starmer is going to be better, I'm sure, pretty sure not of
18:48
our viewers think that. But anyway, just in case you do, let's
18:51
just remind ourselves what Starmer's attitude was during the COVID pandemic, and you can
18:56
decide for yourself whether he's prepared to take a sort of opposition stance anti vaxxers
19:03
getting platforms and so on, Well, we have to deal with the anti
19:07
vax campaigns because they will cost lives, and if we need to pass emergency
19:11
legislation to deal with them, I'd be quite prepared to work with the government
19:15
on that. We could pass it in a couple of days in Parliament,
19:18
and the sooner we do that, frankly, the better because for many an
19:22
HS staff it is really distressing. They're under huge pressure and it's been building
19:27
over the last few weeks and months. They're all doing their level best,
19:30
they're all seeing that it's getting very very difficult and to come out and to
19:36
have to confront that or even hear that is against the national interest. And
19:41
if we need legislation that, I'll sit down with Boris Johnson. We can
19:45
draft it, we can pass it very very quickly because that misinformation. So
19:49
there you go quite clearly. At that time he was quite happy to be
19:52
a member of the UNI Party, and I suspect that nothing has changed there.
19:56
We're going to get the same kind of nonsense. So look, here's
20:00
my point. This is where we're heading unless we change TAC And this isn't
20:04
to scare anybody, but we've got to be realistic about the kind of lunatics
20:10
that we have running the asylum at the moment, and we need a change,
20:15
and so I want to really strongly urge people to get involved in this
20:18
general election and get these fools out because there's nobody from any of the mainstream
20:23
parties that is actually taking a pro peace position at the moment and the direction
20:30
to travel is extremely dangerous. But anyway extremism, that might be an extremist
20:37
view, you see. So we've talked about extremism and the new definition of
20:41
extremism, which Charles is going to mention again in the second but there's been
20:42
an update on this, Thanks very much, Mike. Yes. Essentially the
20:48
continued reframing of extremism, most recently updated last week in the House of Commons
20:55
with the Land for Parliament of Lord Walney's report on what called protecting our Democracy
21:02
from Coercion. The then Minister for Security, Tom Tuganad, from whom we've
21:06
heard a lot on this issue, talked about it being a timely and compelling
21:10
report identifying a rising tide of extremism, and its central finding is that political
21:15
intimidation and the incitement of hatred by extremist groups and individuals are infringing on the
21:21
essential rights and freedoms of the British people. So we'll have a look into
21:26
the report itself. Here it is protecting our democracy from coercion, and he
21:30
starts with a forward talking about the elected representatives facing violent threats on a daily
21:37
basis and intimidation. Slightly surprisingly or maybe not, he refers to noble causes
21:42
such as the battle against climate change being hijacked by extremist groups, and at
21:48
the same time hostile states have been emboldened, so he's very much conflating the
21:53
apparent sort of risks and threats within and without the country. I've compiled a
21:59
sort of score cogs. You might be interested to know what topics turn up
22:03
more frequently than others. Perhaps far right top of the pops with one hundred
22:07
and seventy one, Far left only one hundred and fifty four, Transgender Black
22:11
Lives Matter, anti vax climate change, anti Semitism a fairly high score with
22:15
one hundred and three, and of course nationalism whis crept in as being guarded
22:21
now as a sort of criminal offense. But he also makes recommendations, and
22:26
I think this one's particularly telling, Specifically Left wing, anarchist, and single
22:30
issue threats to provide ideological coherence to the categories and add the word extreme to
22:36
avoid unintentionally conflating mainstream left wing views with the far left. Now, of
22:41
course that the far right has not been afforded the same privilege or indeed the
22:45
right also a recommendation for MI five and counter Terrorism to publish information specifically to
22:55
allow researchers, journalists, and the wider public to track, report on,
23:00
and better understand the threat from failed terrorist attempts. Now, my question is
23:04
what sort of researchers, journalists, and wider public, because I would doubt
23:10
that it includes absolutely everybody. And as Mike said, the definition of extremism
23:15
which is enabling all of this narrative to be put forward, but just to
23:18
remind you, it's now defined as the promotion or advancement of an ideology based
23:22
on violent hatred or intolerance that aims to negate or destroy the fundamental rights and
23:27
freedoms of others, or undermine, overturn, or replace the UK system of
23:32
liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights, or to create the environment where either of
23:37
those things is possible. Now, the point of that is really what it's
23:41
doing is shifting the ground in order to demonize people and describe them as being
23:45
intolerant or full of hatred. And the shift here, as I say,
23:49
is described as being the threat from extremism has been steadily growing for many years.
23:53
So it's this idea that this is getting worse and worse. But also
23:57
he goes on to say, this is inline the first duty of our government
24:00
to keep our citizens safe and our country secure. Most extremist materials and activities
24:06
are not illegal and do not meet a terrorism or national security threshold. I
24:11
think that's a very important point, but of course lost over and I simply
24:14
finished by with the quote attributed to the Code of Hammuravi from seventeen seventy two
24:19
BC, in actual fact, saying that the first duty of government is protect
24:23
the powerless from the powerful, which is quite a significant diversion from what Walney
24:29
has suggested. And if you want to know where this comes from and indeed
24:32
why we're on this path, we look at the document Operating with Impunity,
24:37
which is reference. This goes back to February twenty twenty one and Sammart Rowley,
24:41
the Metropolitan Police Commissioner involved in putting that together, in which he said,
24:48
my last role in policing was a national responsibility leading counter terrorism policing.
24:52
During those years, I saw terrorism and extremism transforming terrorism more from small secret
24:59
organizations, the terrorism inspired and encouraged viars social media, something we've talked about
25:03
a lot in the past. Terroristly to split their efforts between the long established
25:07
tactic of planning large scale events and the new tactic of spreading their ideology online
25:12
and through their agents to grow support and use this outreach to inspire some of
25:17
their new followers into loan actor attacks. So it looks like that in order
25:22
to cement this seed in people's heads, there are going to need to be
25:26
loan actors found around Who's next? This sort of accusation can be hung.
25:33
But this to just to make the point that this was rarely in twenty twenty
25:37
one. Of course, he was appointed Metropolitan Police Commissioner in twenty twenty two,
25:41
and I would put it that this is a very obvious reason for why
25:44
that's why he was put in the job. Okay, if you like what
25:47
the UK Column does, you'd like to support us, You can do so
25:49
by going to support dot UK column dot org and there are options to help

26:03
Do share anything you find on the various platforms, especially Ukkolm dot Org,
26:07
uk Calm, extracs dot co dot UK. Not on Facebook anymore.
26:12
I believe Vanessa has the same problem. We'll talk about that in extra and
26:17
if you see anything on the shop that you would like, please pick something
26:21
up there because that helps us out greatly as well. Now tomorrow at tomorrow
26:25
is the anniversary of the passing of Arnie Brookhart, who did so much work
26:29
on mRNA vaccines and so on. Tailor Hudak will be introducing a short a
26:37
summary of her interview with him, the last interview that she did with him.
26:42
That'll one pm tomorrow. Please join us for that. So that's the
26:45
anniversary of Arnie's passing and we want note to take note of that and so
26:52
on. So also at the weekend or sorry on the weekend of during the
26:56
second of twenty twenty four, if you would like to head over to Glasgow
27:03
if you're in Scotland and there's going to be an event there for the vaccine
27:07
injured, So please do visit that if you possibly can. And of course
27:11
Charles on Monday you were traveling back from the stand and the light event,
27:15
Yes, go through driving rain. But the festival itself was a great success,
27:19
and so just to feedback, I think that the sense of delight at
27:23
being able to encounter people face to face and share broadly similar views was really
27:29
appreciated by everybody that turned up. UK Column had a stand there which i'll
27:33
just show you see brand sort of surrounded by people who were very generous in
27:38
their words and coming up to engage with us at UK Colin also a great
27:44
opportunity for Kenny and Claire there to sell a good quantity of very special merchandise.
27:51
But really just an encouragement to people to get out to these sorts of
27:53
events because they're very very good natured. They're a great way of re engaging
27:59
and in countering people with similar things to you know, to push the things
28:02
forward that you can most about in life. So it's a real success,
28:04
very well organized, absolutely beautiful countryside and there are about twelve about twelve undred
28:10
people there, I think, Yeah, it was a lovely it was a
28:11
really good size too, yeah, brilliant. Okay. Now, on Monday
28:15
we were discussing the launch of the World Health Assembly, and well, one
28:19
of the video clips that Mark Anderson showed was this one. Let's just have
28:23
a look at it again. Also at the Assembly, WHO will be launching
28:30
a new Global Health Strategy, developed in partnership with one hundred and ninety four
28:37
member states and partners, which sets a course for getting the world back on
28:41
track to hit the health related sustainable development goals. Crucial decisions are expected on
28:48
a range of health priorities such as climate and health, who's work in health
28:53
emergencies, access to transformative tools, communicabilities, uncommon abilities, is mental health,
29:02
women's health, and the reform of WHO itself. On six May,
29:08
WHO will be launching our first Investment Round, a new mechanism for WHO which
29:15
the Executive Board approved in January. The Investment Round is designed to ensure that
29:22
voluntary contributions, which are currently the majority of our funding, will be more
29:29
predictable, flexible and sustainable. Our a new investment case outlines why and how
29:36
supporting WHO is essential for progress in global health and saving millions of lives.
29:44
It will be launched on twenty eight May. During the Assembly and the day
29:51
it was launched yesterday, and here is the first graphic that they want to
29:56
show. We're not sure what kind of salute that is they're giving, but
30:00
what the World Health Organization will deliver between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight.
30:04
So this is all about working with existing donors and other partners. They
30:08
are calling it an investment run, so it's like a venture capital kind of
30:12
thing that they're attempting to sell it as here and it aims to attract new
30:18
donors through an inclusive, inclusive engagement process, will culminate in a high level
30:22
financing event in the fourth quarter of twenty twenty four. So let's just look
30:26
at what they're doing. So forty million additional lives save globally. This is
30:30
our elevator pitch that you're saying right now, by the way, because this
30:33
is what you know. It's like dragons Den. So they're attempting to sell
30:37
this to investors. What else did they say? Seven billion people protect better
30:41
protected from health emergencies. This is the World Health organizations doing this. It's
30:45
fantastic work. It deserves massive investment. Six billion people enable to live healthier
30:51
lives. They claim and five billion people able to access health services without financial
30:56
hardship. But they had produced in the actual report a nice little infographic which
31:03
tells us what the funding gap is that they have between twenty twenty five and
31:07
twenty twenty eight. So there's seven point one billion dollars short of what they
31:11
need. And I would say that there's an opportunity for a campaign that they
31:15
to make sure that they remain seven point one billion dollars short of their with
31:21
respect to their funding. And well, what more can we say. We're
31:26
gonna have James Rogowski with us on Friday's program to give us a full update
31:30
of what's been going on this week at the World Health Assembly, So join
31:33
us for that on Friday. Now. In the meantime, Ivian Flew Charles
31:40
Yes, yes again, but this time there is rather more to talk about,
31:44
I think, because what we see is the slow march towards a well
31:48
choreographed move into the creation of a pandemic. And I will just go through
31:55
this sort of step by step. This morning, the Human Animal Infections and
32:00
Risk Surveillance Group, part of the UK Health Security Agency, published a document
32:06
called Avian Influenza in Livestock the risk statement. Now I'm not going to go
32:10
through the specific details of it, but the point is that you put the
32:14
suggestion out there that there is a defined risk or threat, and you allow
32:19
that information to circulate whilst admitting at the same time that there are evidence gaps.
32:23
So they admit that the source of infection to the index farm is a
32:27
gap of gap in evidence, so is the severity of clinical signs, critically
32:32
the risk to other ruminants and mammalian livestock. And also there's uncertainty around the
32:37
transmission risks to humans in contact with affected cattle, risk factors associated with increased
32:43
susceptibility and disease severity in human cases. So they're putting it all out there,
32:46
but of course the headline really is that there is a risk or a
32:50
threat. Now where is that coming from. The UKHSA put out of extraordinary
32:53
graphic suggesting that birdfoo in Europe seems to becoming from Russia, but of course
33:00
they don't substantiate that even at all. Russia is not actually referred to.
33:05
And yet here we are now also from last month avian influenza in US cattle,
33:12
of course, suggesting therefore that this could be anywhere. So here we
33:15
go Birdley for chaios. We're monitoring reports of highly pathogenic influenza identified in dairy
33:21
cattle. We'll come on to exactly how it was identified later. These reports
33:24
do not change the risk level for animals in the UK, which is currently
33:28
low, and we have no reason to suspect the virus is circulating in our
33:31
cattle, not for now at least, and nor is this virus strain circulating
33:36
in Europe. So the food standardency remaining vice remains that avian influenz op poses
33:40
a very low food safety risk, But of course that doesn't matter because if
33:45
the food has tested for it, then it will be destroyed and will not
33:51
be fit for human consumption, because that's what they say. So that's the
33:53
first bit. You put that sort of information out there, and then you
33:57
need a willing media to effectively corroborate the suggestion that there is going to be
34:04
a pandemic coming to here we have BBC obliging, and of course their question
34:08
is corries in the US of bird flu is it inching closer to humans?
34:13
And they are of course desperate, but it should be despite the absolute absence
34:15
of evidence, And here written up as the long feared leap. The H
34:20
five N one strain of avian flu has been around since nineteen ninety six.
34:22
Well that's very much a qualified statement. But until now it has been largely
34:27
confined to animals. But now it's jumped to cattle in America, and some
34:30
think it means we're inching towards eventual human to human infection with potentially serious consequences.
34:35
I should point out this article was written by somebody called David Ironovitch who
34:38
has absolutely no background in science, medicine or anything to do with animals.
34:45
Anyway. The next thing is, of course to be prepared for the outcomes,
34:49
and here we have the Animal Welfare Commission reporting just last week on the
34:52
use of high expansion nitrogen foam for cling poultry. Is effectively where you just
34:57
fill poultry sets with nitrogen f in order to starve them of air with which
35:02
to breathe. This hasn't been used on a large scale before, but nonetheless
35:07
they're putting forward this as an idea for disposing of all the poultry that will
35:10
be disposed of later this year. Now, these are the conditions that are
35:14
being set in the UK, and of course these things don't always necessarily move
35:16
at the same pace. So to highlight the difference, what I thought we'd
35:21
do is take a look at New Zealand, which had an extraordinary and raconian
35:24
response to the apparent pandemic in New Zealand in twenty twenty. But of course,
35:31
here interestingly they say that you do not need a license if you want
35:35
to keep animals in a rural area. So they are behind the UK,
35:38
and the reason for that is that their Ministry for Primary Industry is declares that
35:42
New Zealand has never had a case of highly pathogenic on avian influenza. Nonetheless,
35:49
the Department of Health has within its page it's highly pathogenic avian influenza and
35:54
believe it or not they state. At the moment this chapter is currently under
35:59
review. As of April twenty twenty four, the guidance is being updated.
36:02
In the event of a case of HPIA occurring sorry AAR occurring ahead of publication
36:08
of the device guidance, interim guidance will be communicated to public health services.
36:13
So here we have a country that has never ever declared that it's had a
36:16
case of avlo and influenza updating its literature based on what's happening around the world.
36:22
This is almost exactly the same as what happened at the Tailand in twenty
36:25
nineteen, twenty twenty, and it's frankly, it's just only a matter of
36:30
time. And of course the only thing they're basing is on was what was
36:35
reported on UK column some months ago, which was the apparent discovery of bird
36:37
flu in elephant seals in South Atlantic and that is what they're basing this on.
36:44
Nonetheless, the next step, of course, having confirmed that it's possible
36:47
to jump from one animal to another, is to suggest that people are also
36:51
at risk. And here we've got the CDC in America talking about monitoring influenza
36:54
data to better understand the current avian influenza situation in people, updated May the
37:00
twenty fourth, twenty twenty four. So here we are moving into lockstep.
37:04
And how do they do this. They do this by talking about testing.
37:07
And this goes back to twenty twenty three where in the UK we were told
37:10
that it had been detected in two individuals, but when we scrutinize the detail
37:15
of it, we found it wanting. The two people returning positive tests are
37:17
known to have recently worked on an infected poultry farm in England. Well,
37:22
what does that mean? Neither has experienced any symptoms of avian influenza and both
37:27
have since tested negative detection of avian influenza and poultry workers can follow contamination of
37:31
the nose and throat from breathing in material on the affected farm, or can
37:36
be true infection. So already they're admitting they have absolutely no idea what they're
37:39
talking about, and they finished by saying it can be difficult to distinguish these
37:43
in people who have no symptoms. So just think about that for a moment
37:49
and consider that the tests use. The PCR test cannot, in the words
37:53
of carry malice its inventor, be used as a diagnostic tool. It cannot
37:59
tell you whether or not the thing it's detecting has come from another animal,
38:04
or whether it's going to result in illness, So that needs to be considered.
38:08
But of course the direction of travel therefore is towards vaccines, and they
38:13
have all bases covered here. So first of all, we look at the
38:15
pen Medicine news talking about PEN researchers developing an experimental mRNA avian flu vaccine.
38:22
Well, I think this is again beginning to sound very very familiar, and
38:24
look at the date May twenty third, So this is all being brought out
38:28
exactly the same time. And this is again based on the assumption that everybody
38:32
will pick up the narrative that an illness that is only determined in a laboratory
38:38
and ascribed to poultry can infect other animals and therefore humans. That is the
38:45
basis of this And now another chance to use UKC verify, because just yesterday
38:53
Reuter's and many many other news agencies put out news or apparent news that bird
38:59
flu vacaccines for laying hends prove effective in practice. They go on to say
39:04
the Dutch government has implemented the use of a particular vaccine that they're going to
39:09
roll it out across some their poultry population because it's been proven to be effective
39:15
on farms. Now this is not true. We see here the particular university
39:20
in question and they talk about two vaccines being effective against berdfick. This is
39:23
from September twenty twenty three, and their laboratory tests, which I think we
39:28
can safely say we're compromised to say the least suggests that it's been effective.
39:31
But in actual fact, what they say quite clearly here is the trial on
39:36
the two farms will last until the third quarter of twenty twenty five, so
39:40
there's absolutely no way it's possible to say whether or not there is any sort
39:46
of effectiveness or efficacy of this vaccine in this instance. And of course this
39:52
again should reinforce the message that the premise that avian flu exists in the first
39:58
place is the construct of laboratory experiments and of course culturing of samples, which
40:05
is not possible to do in the field. And just to finish off,
40:07
they say first results are expected in the second quarter of twenty twenty four.
40:10
Of course, is where we are now. But the point is that we're
40:15
seeing this play out in slow time and it is effectively a complete rehash of
40:19
the COVID narrative, and it's going in exactly the same direction, and the
40:22
consequences will be almost identical if it's not stopped in its tracks. Yes,
40:28
thank you, Charles, Okay, Vanessa, back to you, And what's
40:31
the let us on the rapid crossing. I just wanted to mention on that
40:37
report about the bread flu. Also, doesn't that result in contaminated or backs
40:43
in contaminated meat, eggs, et? Cetera. Anyway, we can talk
40:46
about that in extra Yeah, this was a just an odd story that sort
40:53
of jumped out at me. Biden officials are in talks with an EU group
40:59
help re and the Rafa crossing, which is currently controlled by effectively Israel and
41:05
Egypt. So the US is proposing bringing in a so called mutual third party
41:09
to take control of the crossing. The European Union Border Assistant Mission or UBAM
41:16
to the Rafa crossing point. The organization previously worked at the border in Gaza,
41:22
but suspended its operations in two thousand and seven after Hamastokova. The EU
41:28
Border Assistants didn't comment. Representatives with the EU Commission also did not respond.
41:36
It's an EU funded organization in partnership with the International Organization for Migration, so
41:45
I just wanted to have it. So I basically went to the UBAN site
41:52
and let's have a look at its kind of mission statement on the website.
41:58
On the next slide, what do we do? Who are we? So
42:01
basically its head offices are in Odessa, in Ukraine and in Moldova. It
42:09
basically monitors the borders between Moldova and Ukraine. It seems to be a sort
42:15
of quasy military security organization just from looking through its various press releases, and
42:24
I guess what I really want to do is to put the question out to
42:28
the audience, because obviously this is about bringing in EU control into Gaza,
42:35
into the border itself. The connection to Ukraine, the connection between Ukraine and
42:39
Israel has also been talked about consistently. But why now and why this particular
42:49
organization, Although it has a history of having been at the Rafa crossing,
42:52
it was established in two thousand and five, it was at the Rapa crossing
42:57
until, as they said, the Zionist settlers and courters withdrew in two thousand
43:04
and five from US was elected in two thousand and seven. So if anybody
43:09
has any bright ideas why this organization in particular, not, as far as
43:15
I can see, funded by the US, funded specifically by the EU,
43:21
and it has actually been held on a retainer of two point six million.
43:25
So sorry, no, no, that was I was just going to make
43:30
that point. They've been held on this retainer to do nothing on two point
43:34
six year exactly. They're funding one side in June this year and then they've
43:39
got to get a new trans of funding and so this annoine sense wea just
43:43
in time for that UTRANs of funding. Perhaps yes, possibly, yes,
43:50
you could be right, but but then why are we funding it for that
43:52
purpose? Of course, this could be related to basically the distruction of the
43:59
three hundred twenty million US peer if we just have a look at the video,
44:22
Manion, So dare I say American build quality? I think at least
44:39
two ships were washed upshore and are currently under repair. But yeah, just
44:45
anybody has any comments on that story, please let me know or let UK
44:50
column know. Yeah, brilliant, Thank you, Vanessa and Charles. Back
44:53
to you then. On energy energy, Yea's something we've talked about in conjunction
44:59
with foods Care quite a bit over the last few months. But I just
45:02
want to look quickly at the energy trends, or at least the way that
45:06
we're being told the energy trends are playing out. So the most recent report
45:09
from the tail end of last year says that total demand has been down for
45:14
twenty twenty three. The renewable share is at a record of forty seven point
45:17
three. But will come on to explain exactly why that may not be the
45:21
case. Win generation. They're saying is at twenty eight point seven percent.
45:24
Overall electricity generation down eleven percent, the lowess since nineteen eighty three, and
45:29
fossil fuel generation down twenty two percent, lowess since the nineteen fifties. Now,
45:34
I'll explain what I mean when I say that things are not quite as
45:37
they seem. Here we see what I've described as the cooking the book's feature,
45:42
which is that the increase of one hundred and fifteen percent import of electricity
45:47
for that quarter has skewed the statistics absolutely dramatically, which is the only reason
45:52
that they're able to claim that renewable energy has made such a contribution. But
45:58
of course we sing the same drum about the wind not blowing all the time,
46:01
the sun not shining all the time, because of course they have to
46:05
go on and qualify it by saying, with the exception of twenty twenty one,
46:07
renewable generation has been largely stable. Now, that's in itself an admission,
46:13
because the amount of renewable generation facility or capability has increased dramatically in that
46:19
time, and yet the output has remained the same. So the vulnerability is
46:22
enormous. Anyway, they talk about the drivers of changes in the generation being
46:25
complex for renewables, but of course they are with the impact of new capacity
46:30
interacting with variable weather conditions. I mean, the suggestion is that perhaps they'd
46:34
imagine the weather would not have variable conditions. And we go on to see
46:37
this in a graph format. The arrow that I've inserted that the red arrow
46:42
show the solar generation, and of course everything coming down below the line is
46:45
a decrease. And we've talked a lot about the amount of farmland that's being
46:50
used for the construction of these enormous great solar farms, and yet of course
46:53
the output is actually going down at the same time the capability is going up,
46:57
so it's completely topxy derby. Nonetheless, the ESO, the part of
47:02
the national grid that's due to operate the system's electricity system operator, has put
47:07
out future energy scenarios in which they're trying to work out how we're going to
47:10
do something towards find incredible ways that the UK can achieve net zero by twenty
47:16
fifty. And it won't surprise you much. I shouldn't think to learn that
47:20
it's largely based on research and modeling, when of course it is because we're
47:22
not there yet. They use what they call the scenario framework, which has
47:29
some variables, the worst of which they're calling falling short and the scenario not
47:34
meeting the net aerio target by twenty fifty. And it's just interesting to specifically
47:37
see what I've underlined there. The electric vehicle take up grows more slowly.
47:40
Well, I think that does seem to be exactly what is happening. So
47:45
this is already presumably way off course. We've got at the other side of
47:49
it consumer transformation, and this is the behavioral change part. So the net
47:52
aero target is met with measures that have a greater impact on consumers and is
47:57
driven by higher levels of consumer engagement, by which they mean behavioral modification.
48:00
They will have made extensive changes to improve their home's energy efficiency, and most
48:05
of their electricity demand will be smartly controlled to provide flexibility to the system.
48:09
Yes, but will they have chosen that for themselves or will it have been
48:13
chosen for them? So just to highlight what they're wanting to do here,
48:15
the projected to increase in annual demand by the year twenty fifty is two hundred
48:20
and fifty four percent, So they're wanting to move from two hundred and eighty
48:22
six terra what hours of electricity generated now up to seven hundred and twenty six.
48:27
And bear in mind what I've just said about renewables, which seems to
48:29
be the direction they want to go, that looks extremely unlikely. They do
48:32
talk about large electricity demands, and in particular they highlight hydrogen electrolysis, which
48:37
is effectually unproven. Nonetheless, they refer to it as being an emerging technique
48:43
that, if commercially developed, could provide one of the following And I have
48:47
to say it doesn't necessarily sound like the best bet. It could provide a
48:51
higher level of general protection for the environment, or at least the same level,
48:54
So again not particularly convincing. But I just had a look elsewhere in
49:00
private sector. I found a company called Recharge, which say that it's much
49:04
cheaper to produce green hydrogen from waste than renewable So tellingly, the chief executive
49:08
here, Jean Louis Kindler, in twenty twenty, talks about creating hydrogen but
49:13
without using the vast space that solar panels require. So again sort of finding
49:19
some sense of it somewhere, but certainly not from the ESO or in the
49:22
British government. But data center is really what I want to talk about a
49:27
little bit, because of the push towards the fourth Industrial revolutionary in fact everything
49:31
is controlled by the Internet. It's worth noting that data centers now consume about
49:36
two and a half percent of UK energy, which is an enormous figure,
49:40
and because they run around the clock, it's possible that they might waste up
49:44
to ninety percent of the energy that they actually consume. Forty percent of that
49:47
energy is just spent in cooling the various machinery required for in these data centers.
49:55
UK has the largest data capacity in Europe, and just to give an
49:58
indication of the exponential rise, it's said that there were two point eight zetabytes
50:04
of data in the world in twenty twelve and at the last count in twenty
50:07
twenty there were forty four zetabytes. So it's very very unlikely that this can
50:12
be managed on the current projections. But what I want to point out,
50:15
going back to the framework that they're putting out, is the effectively the push
50:22
required so societal behavior and the growth of remote services to faciliitate hybrid working because
50:28
of the COVID nineteen pandemics. So it's just another thing to look at is
50:30
now the use of electricity, and of course the point again the second bit
50:36
of highlighted text people being first instructed to work from home. So the suggestion
50:40
is that people are doing this because they want to be doing it, and
50:43
the reality is, in actual fact they're just being told to do it.
50:45
But again we just finish off because everything now is about data and electronic systems.
50:52
The Bank of England, of course, working on their CBDC, are
50:55
very keen to put forward the case that's centrally controlled digital currencies are better for
51:00
the environment, and in fact they're ticking the climate box because they're going to
51:05
be energy efficient, whereas decentralized ones are bad and not not good for the
51:09
environment. So they talk about it minimizing its impact on the environment and the
51:14
physical effects of climate change and the transition to a netear economy can create financial
51:19
risks and economic consequences. So that's again a telling statement that really should be
51:23
applied to the idea that digital currency centralized digital currency has anything to offer at
51:30
all. Yes, thanks for that, Charles and Vanessa back to you for
51:35
one more time. In this used build and Egyptian Israel having problems, Yeah,
51:44
a couple of days ago, there was basically a squamish as it's described
51:47
here bile Myiadene on the raft for border, during which at least one Egyptian
51:54
soldier was shot and killed. And if we just have a look at the
52:00
reports, so Israeli investigations disagree with the Egyptian armed forces. Basically, Israeli
52:07
sources report that Egyptian soldiers opened fire. Egyptian soldiers are of course saying that
52:14
Israel basically targeted I think one of their watchtowers. There were reports today and
52:19
Al Akbar is saying that both Egypt and Israel have agreed to basically defuse the
52:24
situation and any inquiry, the results of which are going to be kept confidential
52:32
so as not to inflame particularly an Egyptian public that is already pretty much up
52:38
in arms against Egypt's role in facilitating the genocide and the blockade of Palestinians in
52:46
Gaza. In fact, the Egyptian Nasaust Party, which to a degree reflects
52:52
much of the population's opinions on Palestine, calls for the cancelation of the Camp
52:58
David and Cord signed by Presidents Adat in seventy nine, which was effectively egypt
53:05
normalization process with Israel. So let's have a look at what they're talking about.
53:09
So they're saying severing all ties with the Israeli regime, canceling all treaties,
53:15
foremost of which are the shapeful Camp David Accords and peace agreements, and
53:21
that of course includes the Philadelphia Coords signed in two thousand and five that gives
53:25
Israel some control of the Rafa border, providing all forms of support to the
53:31
valiant Palestinian resistance, asserting Egypt sovereign rights over the Rafa border, crossing by
53:37
opening it for humanitarian aid and the transfer of injured people without coordination with the
53:44
Israeli regime, lifting the security restrictions imposed on the citizens, and releasing the
53:50
prisoners of conscience, especially those detained due to their participation in pro Palestine protests,
53:59
supporting pagns, boycotting the companies and products affiliated with the Israeli regime.
54:06
The movement also affirmed the right of the Egyptian and Arab people to utilize all
54:09
means and methods of expression in support of the Palestinian people. Now. Interestingly,
54:15
today in China and Beijing, there is the Arab State Summit Heads of
54:22
Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia and UAE to attend Cooperation Forum in Beijing during state
54:29
visits to China. Basically again, Saudi Arabian Bahrain are floating the idea of
54:36
the two state solution. I've given my opinion on that, but I think
54:42
really despite the rhetoric that we're hearing, this may be a potential opportunity for
54:49
China to try and bring some of these states on board and away from the
54:54
US and normalization with Israel. That's the hope. It remains to be seen.
55:00
I think it's going to be extremely difficult with Egypt, who's you know,
55:05
completely in hock to the IMF and to Saudi Arabia, UAE and to
55:09
Israel to a large extent. Yes, Okay, thank you very much for
55:15
that, Vanessa. Now let's just bring UKC Verify back on screen again because
55:22
this was published in the BBC this morning. It's another bided the cherry of
55:28
the Singapore Airlines plane which experienced extreme turbulence a few days ago. Tragically,
55:35
a British man passed away as a result of this, and his wife and
55:38
a number of other people injured in it. But never let the cynical British
55:43
media, you know, take that they're going to use that as any opportunity
55:49
to suggest climate change, which is what they did, of course. But
55:52
the interim report is out on this now, and so they decided they had
55:55
to create the sensational list headlines Singapore Airlines plane dropped one hundred and seventy eight
56:00
feet in five seconds, according to the preliminary report. But first of all,
56:07
well, what can we say about Isaac Newton here, Charles, because
56:12
I wanted to highlight this paragraph in particular their preliminary report. This is the
56:16
Singaporean equivalent to the NTSB or the Investigation Team for Air Accidents. The AAIB
56:28
would be the equivalent in the UK. Their primary report said that rapid changes
56:30
in gravitational force caused the altitude drop. What happens when win gravity changes,
56:37
Charles, I'm not sure. I mean, I suspect it was a sort
56:40
of scrabbling in Newton's grave because he struggled to get out to contribute to the
56:45
news today. I don't know, yes, indeed, But anyway, the
56:47
truth is forgetting about any claims. But I believe Sky News, by the
56:52
way, also tried to claim it was there was some kind of change in
56:54
gravitational force involved here, But what actually happened was that aircraft flew into absolutely
57:04
between two major thunderstorms. Now, unfortunately the weather radar and these aircraft can
57:12
see what they're approaching, but can't really see through it, particularly if it's
57:15
dense thunderstorms and so on. And there was a third thunderstorm, major thunderstorm
57:20
behind the two that it was flying in between, so it ended up hitting
57:23
some major turbulence. And apparently what the interim report says is that it went
57:30
from experiencing within a few seconds plus one point three five G to minus one
57:37
and a half G, and that of course caused anybody that wasn't wearing a
57:39
seat belt to hit the ceiling in the aircraft. Quite an aggressive change in
57:45
direction, and so there was one hundred and seventy eight foot drop, but
57:50
bearing in mind they were thirty seven thousand feet, one hundred and seventy eight
57:52
feet in of itself is not a major problem. It was the speed at
57:57
which the altitude change happened that was the problem. So absolutely fantastic reporting from
58:02
the BBC on this, and we'll do more to highlight their errors in the
58:08
coming days and weeks. I just wanted to end with this report from Declassified
58:15
UK. The headline here is King Charles accepted award from Nazi veteran. So
58:21
what they're saying here is that a photograph has been discovered of the then Prince
58:24
Charles receiving an award from former member of the waff and SS. Charles was
58:30
given an honorary law degree during a ceremony at the University of Alberta at Eponton,
58:35
Canada in nineteen eighty three. In his acceptance speech, he praised those
58:39
who'd sacrificed their lives forty years ago, referring to the Second World War.
58:44
Yet the award was conferred on him by Nazi collaborator. I go further than
58:49
that. I don't think that's the appropriate word. The university's chancellor, Peter
58:52
Savereign originally from Ukraine. He served in the fourteenth Waffen Grenadier Division otherwise so
59:00
Galiciate Division, that particular group responsible for absolute atrocities in Poland, in particular
59:07
total war crimes. They were vilified for it after the war, but nonetheless
59:13
Britain helped a lot of these Ukrainians out of Ukraine. At the end of
59:17
the Second World war, and they quite a lot of them got sent over
59:22
to Canada. So anyway, maybe perhaps if we were being charitable, we
59:28
could argue that Prince Charles kind of known that at the time. I do
59:32
wonder about this. We should remember, of course, the family ties to
59:36
the Nazi party. This is Prince Philip, his father at the funeral of
59:39
his sister, which of course was attended by most of the Nazi dignitaries at
59:45
the time, including his brother in law. The Prince Philip's brother in law,
59:50
who was Prince Christoph of Hesse, who joined the SS in nineteen thirty
59:53
two, so well before Hitler came to par and also Christoph's brother also called
1:00:00
Philip, except with two p's on the end instead of one, who joined
1:00:04
the SA in nineteen thirty He was considered Hitler's favorite prince and actively acted as
1:00:12
go between between Hitler and Mussolini all the way through the war, so until
1:00:15
obviously Mussolini was no longer in charge in Italy, as it were so many
1:00:22
many questions to be asked about Prince now King Charles and the entire family in
1:00:27
fact, and of course, bearing in mind he is pushing and leading the
1:00:31
charge towards net zero. I think these were reasonable questions to ask as to
1:00:37
what his ideology actually is. But anyway, we'll leave it there and direedly.
1:00:42
We'll talk a little bit more about that and Extra as well in a
1:00:45
few minutes. So if you are a UK called a member, join us
1:00:46
for Extra in a couple of minutes. Just stay on the stream and we'll
1:00:50
be back. If you're not a UK called member, please do consider joining
1:00:53
us and then you can watch Extra live and on demand afterwards. But otherwise
1:01:00
we will see you on Friday at one pm as usual. Don't forget the
1:01:05
Ernie Bookhard interview at one pm tomorrow. See you then, Bye bye, HELLI
