- 0:08Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the twenty ninth of April twenty twenty four.
- 0:13Yourself to one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm your host
- 0:16Brian Gerrish, and I'm delighted today to be joined by Diane mcaddie speaking from
- 0:22Scotland, and Mark Anderson speaking from the United States. Welcome to you both.
- 0:28So, Diane, we're going to bring you in straight away because we've
- 0:31got some really interesting events unfolding north of the border. And it looks as
- 0:38though Humsa is a little bit warbly. It looks like he has finally fallen
- 0:44off his scooter once and for all. Brian really happy to say that.
- 0:47So just to summarize how we got to this point. Just an hour ago,
- 0:51he officially announced in Butte House, which is the official residence of the
- 0:55First Minister of Scotland, that he is stepping down as First Minister. I
- 0:59will only remains and post until his replacement is found. It's been an interesting
- 1:03several days in Scottish politics and I've been watching it very closely. It started
- 1:07out with their fallout with the Scottish Greens where they were looking at the climate
- 1:12issues. So the Greens were saying they wanted this net zero agenda to go
- 1:15on and SMP were saying it's not possible. So SMP pulled out of that
- 1:21agreement, which made them a majority coalition government in Scotland. But it seems
- 1:26as though the issue with the climate has not been the only thing. There's
- 1:29also been the gender identity issues, which again the Greens in the SMP were
- 1:34having some issues around agreeing on. But really they should have been a nationalist
- 1:38party, but they were putting all of these identity politics in front of the
- 1:42idea of nationalism and in Scottish independence. So there have been two confidence votes
- 1:48that were supposed to be coming up this week in Scotland. Ones started by
- 1:51the Tories, which was no confidence in the first Minister himself. The second
- 1:55one was the government in general, which is going to be brought forth by
- 1:59Labor. The Greens said over the weekend that they would vote against any vote
- 2:02of confidence in favor of Hamdah or in favor of, you know, anything
- 2:07that he's supporting, and because of the way the mathematics works out, there's
- 2:10no way that he could get enough votes needed. There was the possibility of
- 2:15Ashrigan, who defected to the album Party, which is Alex Emmons also Nationalist
- 2:19Party a while ago, but she did not also agree with what he was
- 2:23doing. He certainly wasn't on the side of the Tories because they all said
- 2:28that, you know, why should we support him when he's been calling in
- 2:30the last several months to get all Tory MSPs out of Scotland, kind of
- 2:36forgetting that we are still part of the UK up here. So it seems
- 2:38as though he just doesn't have enough friends or anyone backing him, so he
- 2:43really didn't have any choice to Brian but to step down. Yeah. Incredible
- 2:47events and I'm going to be watching it with interest because I felt for a
- 2:52great many years that the aim of politics inside UK was to break the Union
- 2:57apart, and so further trouble inside Scotland itself I think is welcomed by many
- 3:02people who are following the globalist agenda. Class my personal opinion. And let's
- 3:09move on to the subject of universities and academics because some of his policies been
- 3:16impinging on that, I believe. Yeah, absolutely, And just as a
- 3:21bit of a segue into that, I was watching the resignation speech that he
- 3:24just gave leading up to coming under the news and he straight into what I'm
- 3:30going to talk about. Quote. People who looked like me so not white,
- 3:37were not in positions of political influence, let alone leading governments when I
- 3:40was younger. But we now live in a UK where that has a British
- 3:45Hindu Prime Minister, a Black Welsh First Minister, and for a little while
- 3:50longer a Scottish Asian First Minister of this country. So for those who decry
- 3:55that multiculturalism has failed across the UK, I would suggest the evidence is the
- 4:00contrary, and that is something we should all celebrate. So what happened recently
- 4:05is this was in the Daily Mailgist over the weekend. What's happening is that
- 4:11academics across the UK are getting cut. Their jobs are getting cut, including
- 4:15people like me, saying that they are in favor of hiring DEI consultants executives
- 4:23with their salaries exceeding close to one hundred thousand pounds a year, which is
- 4:28even more than a professor like Memakes, and so the vice chancellors are doing
- 4:33this in favor of subject based academics and subject based teaching, and so this
- 4:40is really difficult for a lot of reasons. We don't really know what universities
- 4:45are prioritizing. But what I want to talk about in relation to that is
- 4:48what's happening in the schools at lower levels in the UK and what students are
- 4:53going to be learning in schools and what they reach university level. So as
- 4:56a result of all this, with the departments being shut down, with academics
- 5:00who have subject expertise being canceled or losing their jobs completely, the EDI Equality
- 5:08Diversity inclusion workforce seems to be increasing while those of us with subject expertise appear
- 5:14to be going away. So here we'd like to bring in doctor Alca Cuthbert.
- 5:18She is her family is from India, original age, She's British.
- 5:24She has been canceled several times for making people feel unsafe because she doesn't believe
- 5:31in discrimination one way or the other. In fact, she can see that
- 5:34she's the director of this organization based in London, flog don't divide us,
- 5:39which is really truly based on equality and let's all work together. Everyone has
- 5:45something important to say, everyone has value. We don't need to be prioritizing
- 5:48one way or the other on issues of race. So next I'd like to
- 5:51show a video that thankfully my husband Doohn mccattie recorded and edited. I was
- 5:58presenting with her in March at a Scottish Union for Education events and I'd just
- 6:02like to play first a short clip of what she said in our session,
- 6:05and then I'd like to talk about that a bit. They sat and listened
- 6:11with Satin, allowed themselves to be lectured and hected two hours, and then
- 6:15all the primary school teachers were given boxes to go into their classrooms and remove
- 6:20every book that was not racially representative, so which they did. And about
- 6:28friends that told me this he was a teacher there, it was almost in
- 6:31tears, she was thinking. She got so ashamed. She said she felt
- 6:34violated because she had spent so many years working up lesson plans and schemes of
- 6:41work, and she knew the books that she had were traditional fairy tales and
- 6:46stories of the kind of books that Cambridge and Oxbridge neuroscientists are now saying helps
- 6:53children read. And they were they had to think of out the books to
- 6:57replace them with. That was the afternoon set. What said got rid of
- 7:00then? And of course you know there isn't you know? Probably they may
- 7:04well be books of authors spite of color, which are brilliant, which are
- 7:10lovely, but the work hasn't been done to look for them. There's been
- 7:14no actual research or scholarly work that I'm looking for them, which just find
- 7:19anybody with the right skin color on the right mon engly western name, and
- 7:25you get Laura what's her name, Adam, Henry Adam type books in there.
- 7:32It's you can't, like Stuart said, you cannot educate if these if
- 7:38this belief system is allowed to continue. And that's my concern is that you
- 7:46know, we're replacing education subject based education, actually teaching students to be able
- 7:51to do things with these these ideologies and these beliefs. And so as a
- 7:57discusting discussant in that panel, what I did was I replied with an academic
- 8:01paper that I have known for several years, which comes out of cognitive psychology
- 8:05in the nineteen seventies, which found it's been cited maybe ten thousand times in
- 8:09the academ of literature, very well tested, and what they found was that
- 8:13children describe things with natural categories. So somebody sees a person as a child
- 8:20who hasn't learned that, you know, people are supposed to have different labels
- 8:24or go into different categories. You see a person, you say that's a
- 8:26person. You don't say that's a black person or a white person. You
- 8:30don't say it's a mammal. You say it's somewhere. That is the most
- 8:33recognizable category. And so from that we can see that it just doesn't make
- 8:37any sense, even from a learning or a cognition perspective, to be able
- 8:41to teach students or to be able to tell them this person is black,
- 8:45this person is white, this person is this other thing. But what is
- 8:48the literature saying in more recent times from education, from my field of informatics.
- 8:52Well, we're looking at how to teach children to be anti racist,
- 8:58which of course is racist in itself because we're saying that people are different for
- 9:01different reasons and mainly because of their skin color. So we're talking here about
- 9:05how to use books to teach black children that they are different or different,
- 9:11people of different races are different. And here's why this one was a particularly
- 9:16interesting paper using anti racism educational methods during COVID. Right, So everything was
- 9:24bad enough during COVID for education, and now we've got anti racism on top
- 9:28of teaching students that we're all dying from this apparently raging pandemic. So the
- 9:35layers of interestingness, I guess you could say, just get worse and worse.
- 9:39I have a couple of these books that I actually have here in print
- 9:43next to me. This one is one from Laura Henry Allen, who was
- 9:46the author that Doctor Cuthbert mentioned in the segment I showed called my Skin Your
- 9:52Skin. And I'm not sure how well you can see the picture I've taken
- 9:56from one of those pages, but what you can see is that the word
- 10:00white, my cousin is white is a lowercase W, and you can see
- 10:03my friend is black is a number case b B, and the same with
- 10:07Chinese and the same with Ghanian. So we can see here the agenda going
- 10:13back to Hans's point around multiculturalism and different people of different races being in charge,
- 10:18and we can see what's happening to what is traditionally a ye country here
- 10:22in the UK. The next one I have here is a lift the flap
- 10:26questions and answers about racism. So we're talking about children who are reading picture
- 10:31books, young enough to have things like pop ups and lift ups and things
- 10:33where we would expect children to be learning about you know what, we're the
- 10:37dinosaurs, what are the seasons of the year, the things that we expect
- 10:41children to need to learn at very young ages. Now we're teaching them how
- 10:45to be activists, and it says there how to become part of the situation.
- 10:48So again we're teaching them once again that they have to show that they're
- 10:52different, they have to do these different things. Here's one from a children
- 10:56who are maybe a few years older, about how to do art projects that
- 11:03allow us to explore anti racism. And this is from a chapter on advocacy
- 11:09from the book. So we see here that it's not just about anti racism,
- 11:15it's about all of the social justice issues that they're supposed to be concerned
- 11:18with. So instead of making creative art projects that express whatever it is that
- 11:24they're interested in, there's a whole list of all of the things that adults
- 11:28don't even know what to do with, addiction, agism, animal oil for
- 11:33bullying, censorship, guidance, civil rights. It goes on and on,
- 11:35and so these are all the things that these kids are encouraged to do art
- 11:39projects about, including a specific set of instructions about how to make that blackfist
- 11:46fighting for equity, and remember, equity and equality are different things. We
- 11:50are teaching equity, not equality, and this is what our children are expected
- 11:54to be exposed to as they grow up nowadays. Brian, ad about you,
- 12:01but I'm happy that I grew up in a different generation. Diane,
- 12:05thank you very much. Well, yes, I think I could say that
- 12:07as well. As we see things unfold around us. But its very interesting
- 12:11as you were talking through in detail about what you're seeing and what's in the
- 12:16books for very young children. Somebody commented in our chat box and said,
- 12:20it's cultural revolution unfolding right in front of our eyes, and that is exactly
- 12:26what it is. And I'll say I'm very encouraged that here we are in
- 12:31twenty twenty four and it's obvious that many many people are seeing that something's wrong,
- 12:37and many people are starting to see exactly what it is. But what
- 12:41a situation north of the border that we've now got. The friction between the
- 12:48identity of people is dominating politics, not solving everyday problems of who's got a
- 12:54job, who's got a house to live in, who can feed themselves?
- 12:58This has all been over to him with the woe agender and at the same
- 13:01time, we're now starting to get rid of academics from the institutions which should
- 13:07be providing the best in education for our children. It's pretty extraordinary. Done.
- 13:15A quick question for you, are there other professionals around you who are
- 13:20also seeing this? So I know that you've said before you're feeling quite isolated,
- 13:24but are there any other academics standing up? Not that I've seen obviously,
- 13:31friends of the column like normal Fenton, but he's retired, he has
- 13:35the freedom to do this. I do belong to a couple of organizations called
- 13:39one is called the Academics for Academic Freedom. So I'm a member of the
- 13:43steering committee of the Edinburgh branch up here. I'm also a member of the
- 13:46Scottish Union for Education, but of course that entails all levels of education,
- 13:50not just universities. So those of us in the Academics Freedom group are doing
- 13:54what we can. But we are a very very small minority and a big
- 13:58sea of people that are just going right along with the agenda, and I
- 14:01don't think that they're seeing what's coming for them unfortunately. Okay, Diane,
- 14:07thank you very much for that report, and keep going. No, we're
- 14:11just going to move over to Ukraine, which is obviously a horrific war ongoing
- 14:16minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. But of course,
- 14:20in the West in general, the legacy media simply not reporting reality.
- 14:26But unfortunately this is also the case by the Ukrainian's own internal media. So
- 14:33let's have a look at a couple of reports. The Kiev Independent we've used
- 14:37before. So if you have looked down the sidebar, it's talking about Latvia
- 14:43donating energy equipment to Ukraine after Russian attacks on infrastructure, is talking about military
- 14:50intelligence where Telegram is blocking several Ukrainian government chatbots. It's got general staff telling
- 14:58or aiming that Russia has lost four hundred and sixty seven thousand plus troops in
- 15:05Ukraine since February the twenty fourth, twenty twenty two. And it goes on
- 15:09to talk about the actual number of Russians killed in Ukraine. But of course
- 15:15the reality is that Ukraine is suffering very badly on the front, and because
- 15:20of the huge excess of Russian artillery over Ukrainian artillery and the fact Ukraine is
- 15:28now short munitions, casualties on the Ukrainian side much higher than the Russians.
- 15:33Here's the Kiev Post just come on screen. Russia must withdraw from Ukraine,
- 15:39plain and simple, and this is based on a statement by Zelenski. So
- 15:45even in the Ukrainian media itself, we are not seeing realistic reporting about what's
- 15:50actually happening on the battlefield. All of the reports are as if the war
- 15:58is continuing largely in Ukraine's favor, and if it's not entirely in their favor,
- 16:03it will be all right at some stage in the future and Ukraine will
- 16:07retake CRIMEA complete nonsense if we had to look at Western reports. I've just
- 16:14taken one newspaper article here. If we can pop that one on screen,
- 16:18please, Ukraine Russia War Live. Putin's troops advanced, as Kiev's commander in
- 16:25chief says, the frontline situation is worsening. Well, this is the Independent
- 16:30they've virtually got it there. But if we compare it with the really accurate
- 16:34reports that have been coming in from social media, so this is military summary
- 16:40channel, we've got weeb Union. What are they talking about? Russian breakthroughs
- 16:45on key areas of the front. And of course the Russians are managing to
- 16:48do this by the fact that they can use an extraordinary amount of artillery to
- 16:53destroy Ukrainian defensive positions before they move forward. Would But also it's now very
- 17:02clear that Russians are able to deploy large numbers of very large guided aerial bombs
- 17:08which are simply destroying the Ukrainian strong points. So massive Ukrainian casualties. But
- 17:17this is not being reported at all in Western media, or it appears in
- 17:21Ukrainian media. If we had to look at the UK's Ministry of Defense,
- 17:26really just pure propaganda. I've chosen a little bit from the Twitter or x
- 17:33as it's now called. But what are they talking about. Since twenty twenty
- 17:38three, there's been a record thirty percent increase in Russian men aged thirty one
- 17:44to fifty nine with disabilities, So the British Ministry of Defense crowing about injuries
- 17:51to Russian servicemen and women. The one that's just come in on screen.
- 17:57We've now got reports on the number of civilians that have been killed in Ukrainian
- 18:03areas. So there's nothing which is a substance about the war on the ground.
- 18:10There is nothing talking about the advances of the Russians which is now happening
- 18:15on an hour by hour, day by day basis. So we pour in
- 18:19the weapons and munitions, we extend the war, but the outcome is clear.
- 18:25Ukraine is going to lose and Ukraine is being devastated as this happens.
- 18:32Now. Something that's been occurring over the last couple of days that's caused the
- 18:36West immense embarrassment is the fact that captured Western equipment has now been taken to
- 18:44Russia. So let's just play this little clip from the mail. I'll talk
- 18:49you through it. But essentially, here is Western equipment which Russia has taken
- 18:55off the battlefield, cleaned it up, and has now put it on display
- 19:00for Russians to see that the Western wonder weapons, including the German and the
- 19:07American main battle tanks, have simply failed to make any difference at all.
- 19:12Abrahams on screen or sorry, Leopard on screen, but also the Abrahams tanks
- 19:19have completely failed to deliver the successes which the West and the US in particulars
- 19:26said would come with the weapons. So as long as the war goes on,
- 19:30and as long as the West, the UK, the US and the
- 19:33EU pumping the weapons, the more Ukrainians are going to die and the less
- 19:40is going to be left to that country Mark. I'm going to bring you
- 19:42in at this point because you've been having a look at really the emergence of
- 19:47a new Cold War. But this one is a hot Cold War, if
- 19:52that's not too confusing a statement. Thanks Brian, Good day to everyone.
- 19:59Yes, the Chautau Council on Global Affairs, as I've noted, is among
- 20:02the busiest, if not the busiest globalist think tanks in the entire world,
- 20:07let alone in the United States, so I follow him very closely in real
- 20:11time. I covered it firsthand last Thursday, I believe it was. It
- 20:15was April twenty four, if memory serves. But New Cold Wars a conversation
- 20:19with David Sanger. That's a referral to a veteran New York Times reporter.
- 20:25New Cold Wars in the plural means, as he explained to Eve Oldhalder,
- 20:30the CEO of the Chicago Council, the old Cold War was basically binary,
- 20:34you know, the US versus the USSR, and it was the arms race
- 20:41and that big strategic standoff. The New Cold Wars is plural. Where the
- 20:48US is or the West you might say, led by the US is facing
- 20:52not just Russia but China and now Iran is aligned with Russia and China.
- 20:59So without going into too much geopolitical shuffling, that's what David Sanger explained.
- 21:04This slide here explains a little bit about David Sanger himself. He's a White
- 21:08House and National security correspondent for The Times, reporting on the President Biden in
- 21:14his administration, with a particular focus on foreign policy and that intersects with technology,
- 21:19politics and superpower conflict. He is a rather candid reporter, and he
- 21:26had some things to say Brian that underscore the idea that actually Russia is doing
- 21:33quite well in this conflict and Ukraine is losing. He didn't say Ukraine's absolutely
- 21:37losing, but he did concede that they're not on the winning side. This
- 21:41is a photo I took here of a couple original photos through the screenshot function
- 21:48of the program that's saying around the left with Evo Dhalder. Moving on from
- 21:52there, I'll just explain a couple of things before we get into a couple
- 21:56quick video clips. Another thing that mister Sanger mentioned of interest, we've reflected
- 22:03back to the George W. Bush years of two thousand and two. Bryan
- 22:07and mentioned that at that time there was even a NATO Russia Council which later
- 22:12became the NATO Ukraine Council. No surprise there. And there was US Russia
- 22:18counter Terrorism coordination meetings just after nine to eleven, and Sanger was covering and
- 22:26Russia was considering joining NATO back then, mister Sanger reminded the audience, and
- 22:32Russia was considering joining the European Union. He's saying, how quickly we forget
- 22:37these strange geopolitical circumstances. And he said that the West miss read Putin thinking
- 22:45that he would not be aggressive militarily, that he would not want to risk
- 22:49the oil and gas revenues that are such an important part of the Russian economy.
- 22:56And he also claimed that the US failed to understand that China would act
- 23:00like it's democratizing its country by allowing more local elections through different means, but
- 23:07it was really just a steam valve, and China was acting as if it's
- 23:11democratizing, but the Chinese Communist Party actually isn't. That's another point, mister
- 23:15Sayger made an interesting one to consider. And now we'll play the video clips
- 23:22and then I'll have some commentary from there. Bush and Putin were talking about
- 23:29putin joining the European Union. You remember the discussions about whether Russia would join
- 23:33NATO. There was a NATO Russia Council inside the gate of NATO. It's
- 23:40now the NATO Ukrainian Council, but at that time it did not seem out
- 23:45of possible, the realm of possibility, that they would join NATO. There's
- 23:49a similar and parallel story we'll get too later about China. But we went
- 23:56from that twenty two years ago to putin warning in two thousand and seven at
- 24:03the Menix Security Conference that there were parts of Peter the Great's Russia that had
- 24:10been separated from the motherland and had to come back, and we ignored it.
- 24:15And seven years later this chapter called the seven Year Itch. With apologies
- 24:19to Marilyn Monroe. He takes Crimea and there are no sanctions for a year,
- 24:29and then after there are a few mild ones. The Germans immediately sign
- 24:33up. Chancellor Merkel signs the nord Stream two agreement to bring gas directly from
- 24:41Russia into Germany going around Ukraine. So they got none of the revenue,
- 24:45and she calls putin a reliable supplier. So what was he supposed to conclude?
- 24:52If he tried to take all of Ukraine, that the US would kind
- 24:59of roll over, They complain a lot, they do a few sanctions,
- 25:03and they'd go away. He was not taking a wild bet. Some interesting
- 25:11remarks there. It's interesting, on the one hand, Brian that he admitted
- 25:18that there's a historical reason, going back to Peter the Great, that Russian
- 25:22might want to acquire or reacquire parts of Ukraine. We've often said that whether
- 25:29you agree with Putin or not, he does have matters of state and state
- 25:33craft to consider in this. But it's also interesting that he just says,
- 25:37well, they invaded Crimea. The Russian story is that there was of course
- 25:41Russian leaning people in Crimea, just like in eastern Ukraine, that really desired
- 25:47to be back with Mother Russia, and that Ukraine the Kiev government was basically
- 25:52a criminal imposter regime. So that's some things that we could counter or offer
- 25:59as counterpoints that video clip. Now we have one other video clip of particular
- 26:03interests. We sent last year a bunch of American made drones and gave them
- 26:10to the Ukrainians for both surveillance and delivering ordinance. By that time, the
- 26:17Russians who had terrible electronic warfare at the beginning of the war, had figured
- 26:21out what they were doing wrong. They took every American drone down in about
- 26:26ninety minutes, you know. And this was one of those programs where some
- 26:30good contractor from Silicon Valley had come along and said, don't worry, these
- 26:36things are invulnerable. This is going to work. Didn't last for two hours.
- 26:44That's a lesson. It's a lesson. I mean. The part of
- 26:47the lesson is the US is getting a lot of good information on the chief,
- 26:52including the destruction of much of the Russian army. Yes, so there
- 27:00again it shows the US failure on the technological realm. Much could be said
- 27:07about this, the speaker, mister Sayer. Lastly, just for this segment,
- 27:11Brian mentioned that Google had a project for drone targeting, but it ultimately
- 27:17rejected it called Project Maven m ave N, and that was moved to Palenteer
- 27:22in about twelve to fifteen. Other contractors Pallenteer, Alex Tarpatens, Builderberger,
- 27:27Bilderberg. Every year he's the head a Palenteer and by the time the Ukrainian
- 27:33War breaks out, they've got this incredible picture of how troops are laid out
- 27:37and anyway, Project Maven is all about less human involvement in drone targeting and
- 27:44more AI targeting. But that that's precisely what failed versus the Russian army.
- 27:49So there'll probably be more on this that I can unpack for maybe one more
- 27:55report next week, Brian, but that's sufficient for now. Thank you very
- 27:59much for the Mark. And the other thing that came into my mind is
- 28:02you were talking, is that some people have always felt that Putin and the
- 28:07West were all working together, that the war in Ukraine even was something that
- 28:14the Russians wanted to happen, and Russia is really working with the West.
- 28:19But when you start to dig into it and you see this massive change from
- 28:23Russia coming on board with NATO and the European Union to Russia at war in
- 28:30the eastern part of Europe, we start to see that things are by no
- 28:36means as simple as that. So a lot more to discuss, but I
- 28:40just wanted to make that quick point. Thank you very much for the segment.
- 28:44Mark. Now, as we always do, a very big thank you
- 28:47to everybody that sports the column. Financially, we can only do what we
- 28:52do with your financial help and it's due to a number of very generous people
- 28:59that take out a subscription and are providing us with the funding we need.
- 29:03So if you're watching UK Column and you're not yet a member, perhaps we
- 29:07can ask you very nicely to join and become part of our team to help
- 29:11us not only continue going but to expand. And of course you can always
- 29:18go into our shop and make a purchase as that helps us financially as well.
- 29:23Now, we do what we do for information to be shared, but
- 29:27please, if you do put our information out, will you make sure that
- 29:32it's attributed to UK Column. This is a nicety for us. It's something
- 29:37which also we think is reasonable. We go to the effort of producing it.
- 29:41But do we want other people to see and share our material, Yes
- 29:45we do, so we'll leave that there now. I just wanted to say
- 29:51once again that we've got the Playing God video Jackie Devoy in our team and
- 29:56investigation into medical demoicide in the UK that's now being seen by a very large
- 30:02number of people worldwide. But you can still click on the UK Column website
- 30:07and have a look at that. Tomorrow at one o'clock I've got an interview
- 30:12which is in my Gutsy Women's series. It's with a lady called Rosie and
- 30:18she's going to be talking about the White Rose Organization, which is doing some
- 30:23really excellent work in educating people about what is happening in the UK and indeed
- 30:30worldwide. Why are our society is being attacked and broken down and ultimately what
- 30:37can we do about it? So this is one lady's story about how she
- 30:42went from watching to standing up and be counted. So please join me for
- 30:48that. Now what does that bring us? It brings us onto the topic
- 30:52of mainstream media, legacy media. And a big thank you to one of
- 30:57our viewers who sent me over the week. Can a link through to a
- 31:02Times article? Let's bring it up on screen. So here we are.
- 31:06It had a long article. It's got a lot of images in it.
- 31:10The headline is exposed the illegal school teaching children conspiracy theories at a grimy former
- 31:18nightclub, pupils have told how to survive a plot against humanity. This is
- 31:23what our undercover reporter saw. So let's start off by having a look at
- 31:30the embedded video. I've broken it into two clips. Let's have a look
- 31:33at the first one. This is not playgroup if you're not learning. There's
- 31:41no point as doing this, And at the end of the day, we're
- 31:48bringing up a generation of children that do know the truth. They won't have
- 31:53to be woken up because they've never been asleep. An undercover investoration by The
- 32:00Times has discovered a school in Manchester being run by a group of conspiracy theorists
- 32:05under the radar of the authorities. I applied for a teaching post at Universal
- 32:09Kids via an advert I saw in the light a newspaper that peddled conspiracies and
- 32:15misinformation. I was invited for an interview by Ladan Ratcliffe, a former teacher
- 32:21who set up the school in twenty twenty. Hello, I'm Tong, I'm
- 32:25here to meet Ladan. How iron I so well? I need to meet
- 32:30you. Ratcliffe told me that the purpose of the school was to deindoctrinate pupils
- 32:34from all of the lies that they were taught by the system. After two
- 32:37interviews and a trial lesson, I was then offered a position. So this
- 32:40is the plague band and older broke around the side as well. She helped
- 32:45parents to withdraw their children from mainstream education, registered as home educated, then
- 32:52send them to Universal Kids. Parents pay thirty pounds a day for tuition at
- 32:55her school. Teachers at the school adhere to the Great Reset theory, a
- 33:00conspiracy which claimed that a shadowy cabal of bureaucrats and finances are trying to depopulate
- 33:06and enslave the earth. Well, it was pretty clear there because he's straight
- 33:12into the subject of the Great Reset and as far as he's concerned, it's
- 33:16all conspiracy theory. Now, one of my big criticisms of this piece of
- 33:22work, but the Times is, of course they never get into proper discussion
- 33:27with the people about why they're doing what they're doing and what they're seeing worldwide.
- 33:34That means that we should be doing these sorts of things. So it's
- 33:37a hit piece, there's no question of that. But I just wanted to
- 33:40flag up for our audience that the Great Reset is apparently just a big conspiracy
- 33:45theory according to The Times and the journalists there. Tom Ball, let's have
- 33:52a look at a second little clip from the video. Head Teacher Ratcliffe advertised
- 33:59the school primarily by word of mouth, but also through social media groups for
- 34:02light minded conspiracists. For many people are getting to know about us or the
- 34:07real oness small a scale peopeple are getting to know either for our teachers,
- 34:13our hairs when the advertise in there mis groups and being quite that and maybe
- 34:19you've got people coming from from Shrupshire. Yeah. Yeah. There were thirteen
- 34:22children aged between eight and fourteen whilst I was working at school in January,
- 34:28though there have been as many as twenty eight in the past. Despite this,
- 34:32Universal Kids has been able to operate for more than three years without any
- 34:36supervision or intervention from local authorities or OFSTED the Schools Inspectorate. Have you had
- 34:42much trouble with officers here? No? No, no, Now I've just
- 34:45told them we're not We're not in the not doing things that Ofsted would want.
- 34:53Osted Inspectors don't have the power to force their way onto the premises of
- 34:58suspected legal schools or see incriminating materials. The Inspectorate believes that there are hundreds
- 35:04of illegal schools in England, exploiting the fact that there is a very little
- 35:07oversight of home educated children under current legislation. The vast majority of institutions prosecuted
- 35:14by Offseed are religious schools, but in recent years inspectors have found a growing
- 35:19number of non religious schools that have been set up by individuals radicalized by the
- 35:22COVID nineteen pandemic into an anti state and sometimes conspiratorial ideology. Well, he
- 35:31gets there ultimately, because this is all about regulation of anybody who's trying to
- 35:37provide an alternative education for their children. And notice how he's now talking about
- 35:45people who've been radicalized during COVID and have become anti state. Diane, I'll
- 35:50just give you a few seconds to come in and comment if there's anything you'd
- 35:52like to say. Having watched those clips, and of course that's not the
- 35:58full video that the time shown is two clips, so there were other points.
- 36:01But what do you think, Well, Brian, I was Brian,
- 36:06I was just sitting here laughing, partially because I'm about to debunk what they've
- 36:10said here just a few minutes later in the news. I think it's just
- 36:14absolutely hilarious. There's times broadcast whatever this was was just absolutely off the mark
- 36:21when it comes to facts. Absolutely okay, Well, of course the news
- 36:25was sorry. The music in that report was one of the things that I
- 36:30couldn't help reacting to because it's that mind numbing music in the background to allow
- 36:36the propaganda as far as I'm concerned to sink in Mark, I'm watching your
- 36:40face. I'm saying to you just a couple of seconds, if you'd like
- 36:44to respond. The best thing to say is that they always use this technique
- 36:50of stating something as if it's self evidently false, like one day you'll be
- 36:55eating cockroaches if Klaus Schwab has his way. They don't ever look to see
- 37:00what Klaus Schwab had to say. They just state this attributed to the so
- 37:05called conspiracy theorists and make the reader believe that, by definition, what these
- 37:09conspiracy theorists are saying is false, rather than exploring the issue to see whether
- 37:15it might have some truth to it. That's a common technique. Okay,
- 37:21well, thank you very much for that. We're a good team because you
- 37:23were spot on the point that i'd lined up. Let's put the slide on
- 37:28screen so his tombull. I know he does look a bit like Harry Potter,
- 37:32but I think he is the Times journalist. He said in a history
- 37:37lesson, I saw the children being told by their teacher justin that they would
- 37:40one day be eating cockroaches. If Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic
- 37:46Forum, and Bill Gates have their way, So your point is absolutely correct.
- 37:52Mark that no investigation into this by him at all. He simply states
- 37:58things as if it is fact. He goes on to say, in recent
- 38:01years, inspectors have found a growing number of non religious schools set up by
- 38:06people radicalized during the COVID nineteen pandemic into and here's the key expression, anti
- 38:13state and sometimes conspiratorial ideology. Now, I'm sure if Mike Robinson was with
- 38:20us, we'd be saying, you've got to watch out for this anti state
- 38:22label because more and more legislation is coming in place to close down anybody who
- 38:29challenges the state. But he flags up the real problem. They're worried about
- 38:34the increase. At the same time, the number of homeschooled children's increase rapidly
- 38:38from sixty twenty eighteen to twenty six twenty twenty three, according to the most
- 38:45recent figures published for the government. But he doesn't investigate why more and more
- 38:50parents are pulling their children out of school. He simply ignores that. And
- 38:54if we go on, he then reinforces his attack on homeschooling. Sorry,
- 39:00come back to the slide you just put on screen, please, Stephanie that's
- 39:05the one. He reinforces it by quoting Samatin Oliver, the OFSTED Chief Inspector,
- 39:12who said in the article. The quote is of him. In the
- 39:15article the twenty twenty two schools built would have given us additional powers to investigate
- 39:21and close down illegal schools, but that legislation was dropped without those powers.
- 39:25I remain concerned that thousands of children across England are still attending illegal schools,
- 39:31so the state is getting very worried it can't control education of children. The
- 39:37point reinforced here by a quote in the article from Bridget Phillipson, who's the
- 39:43shadow Education Secretary. It's frankly shocking that this school has been operating with impunity
- 39:49for so long, poisoning the minds of these young people. A Labor government
- 39:53would legislate without delay for a register of children not in school. So vote
- 40:00Labor. You're going to get more state control and more focus on your children
- 40:06and what's happening to your children. So if we bring Tom Ball back on
- 40:10screen, he was crowing in the article. The last year The Times exposed
- 40:15another what it said was suspected illegal school set up in Sussex by anti vaccine
- 40:22activists and members. Here's the dig of the far right. What's he talking
- 40:27about, Well, he's talking about Hope, Sussex, so this is very
- 40:30close to home for the UK column. But oh my goodness, they're teaching
- 40:36people how to use tiny crossbows. He doesn't seem to want to comment on
- 40:40the fact that we've got relatively young children being used to being trained to use
- 40:45real weapons before they're put into the early days of the armed forces in a
- 40:52lot of schools. So no proper investigation by this man. Let's bring in
- 40:59the next quote here he said, if schools like Eton and Winchester were established
- 41:04to educate the future administrators of state universal kids were set up with a very
- 41:09opposite purpose is a training ground for a resistance movement, where children are instructed
- 41:15in foraging, self defense and natural remedies to survive and defy this supposed plot
- 41:22against humanity. But of course he doesn't investigate the plot. If we have
- 41:28looked at him in more detail, this is his LinkedIn page here. He's
- 41:34a specialist in the Russian language. He spent I think time in Russia.
- 41:38But basically this appears to be the best that the Times can do. And
- 41:44if you have a look at his Twitter account while he's bringing in stories which
- 41:49are hit pieces on Russia, and he's also bringing in stories which are hit
- 41:52pieces on Andrew Bridgen by callously using comic excuse me comments by Andrew Bridge wife
- 42:00in order to undermine the Andrew Bridge and himself. So I'm not impressed.
- 42:06But did Tom Ball do any investigation? Clearly know, Let's pop on screen
- 42:12evidence that's in front of our eyes. This one here says, in an
- 42:15effort to be more sustainable, elementary schools are serving insects during lunch. These
- 42:22issues are important, so this is not conspiracy theory and the Time knows it.
- 42:27Let's pop the Times on screen here we are their headline is eating insects
- 42:32my creepy Crawley breakfast bowl. But apparently Tom Ball is completely unaware of this
- 42:38stuff. He's also unaware of the real fears that parents have got of their
- 42:45children being groomed within the very education system controlled by Ofsted. And for our
- 42:52audience, we'd encourage you to get back onto the UK column website and have
- 42:57a look at our interviews with Kim Isherwood from Public Child Protection Wales, where
- 43:01she's been talking about how the minds of our children are being attacked. How
- 43:07they're doing that inside schools? Now, Before I leave The Times, I
- 43:12just wanted to highlight that. A little while ago, twenty twenty two,
- 43:16we were under attack by The Times COVID Conspiracy Theories run Wild on the Channel
- 43:22for Lockdown Skeptics. This was a truly disgusting piece of journalism which was just
- 43:28designed to smear. If we bring in a little bit more text, we
- 43:31can see the sort of things. Stirring music plays as images of Boris Johnson
- 43:37Presidency and laboratory appear on screen. Two news presenters sit at a desk with
- 43:43papes in front of them, while a ticker tape scrolls below. Now,
- 43:47we did challenge the Times at the time over this disgraceful article, and we'll
- 43:53share a little bit of the comment that we made. This was their headline.
- 43:58If we bring that in a column, conspiracy Conspiracy Theories run Wild on
- 44:02the Channel for Lockdown Skeptics. An ex Tory counselor is behind an online news
- 44:09service that spreads misleading information. Now, part of our response to the Times
- 44:15was this, Brian Gerrish is not and has never been, a Conservative Tory
- 44:20counselor or member of the Conservative Party. Morever, he's never been a Conservative
- 44:24Party candidate. William Coles Hill, creator of Resistance gb the ex Tory councilor
- 44:31mentioned in the article, has no operational control or commercial relationship with the UK
- 44:37Column. The UK Column and its directors did not incite the alleged a costing
- 44:42of the BBC reporter Nick Watts on the fourteenth June twenty twenty one, and
- 44:46the UK Column and its directors were not present during the all a costing of
- 44:52Nick Watts. And finally, the UK Column and its directors did not organize
- 44:58or attend the Clapham Common prot Yes, we raised a lot more points,
- 45:01but really showing our audience today, it's to underline the facts and the Times
- 45:07is capable of some pretty appalling reporting and in the case of the articles of
- 45:13just the article, I'm just showing you this was the journalist Ben Ellery.
- 45:19We'll leave it there. My advice don't bother buying at Times because you're not
- 45:23going to get facts and the truth about what's happening. But that's just my
- 45:28personal opinion. So Diane, I think that brings us back to you and
- 45:32you're going to come in on some of these points from your own experience.
- 45:38Absolutely, Brian. Yes, I'm looking well not looking forward to the news
- 45:43that within this, But what I want to go through is it sort of
- 45:45an exercise in truly fighting this information and finding correct facts. And I'd like
- 45:51to introduce this firstly by reminding people about the webinar that happened on Friday evening
- 45:58that sponsored by Andrew Bridgin and PA around COVID vaccines, the devastating health crisis
- 46:04and the Channel Islands and around the world. And I have it was an
- 46:07hour and a half long. It's Unrumble another channels if you want to look
- 46:10it up. I'm sure it's not on YouTube, but if you want to
- 46:14see the whole hour and a half webinar, it's available for you. But
- 46:16I'd like to highlight just three short clips from three very prominent speakers who I've
- 46:21been following since twenty twenty twenty twenty one. The first one is Professor English
- 46:27Dalgleish, who is a professor of oncology at Saint George's University of London.
- 46:34Well just all over the world, from Australia, from South Africa, from
- 46:37America, from Canada, South America, Europe. They all said the same
- 46:43thing, and they all said that they were told it was just coincidence of
- 46:47our sectional selection of anecdotes and to be quiet. Now, this is what
- 46:52the problem is being with this parandemic. It is being all welly in control
- 46:57and denial of the facts and the total prevention of debate. Science is debate
- 47:05until you come to the right conclusion. So following the science or scientific consensus.
- 47:09These are complete misnowments. They are incredible that we've had to put up
- 47:15with this. I've had plenty of doctors come up to me and said,
- 47:19I would love to do what you're doing. I would love to join you,
- 47:22but I've got a mortgage and two kids at school I have to put
- 47:25through. That's what's been going on. They've been going for the doctors that
- 47:30speak out, and that's definitely been my personal experience as well. So next
- 47:39we have doctor Ryan Cole, who is an American pathologist. So first we've
- 47:44heard from the cancer expert. Now we'll hear from pathology. We need to
- 47:49change this. Synthetic DNA and modified RNA injections are not vaccines, never have
- 47:53been, never will be. Their genetic transfaction agents and therapies. According to
- 47:59the filings of Maderna and Pfizer. They know this. We don't know the
- 48:04long term consequences of these and they're still being developed for hundreds of other conditions.
- 48:08It's not just these COVID shots. I know everybody has COVID fatigue.
- 48:13I understand that what we need to do is stop this platform. It's not
- 48:15meant for human use, it's not ripe for human use. For a successful
- 48:21technology, reality must take precedence over public relations. For nature cannot be fooled.
- 48:29We are fooling ourselves and we're fooling nature. More injections, plain and
- 48:32simple, equals more infections due to immune suppression that doctor Degliche covered. Cleveland
- 48:39Clinics showed this in a very straightforward study on their fifty thousand employees. I'm
- 48:45not here to judge anyone that did or didn't get a shot. I'm just
- 48:47saying, no more genetic shots please. And finally, I'd like to show
- 48:53a short clip from doctor Peter McCulloch, who is one of the most highly
- 48:58cited cardiologists in the world Easton, Texas, and I'm convinced is the tip
- 49:05of the iceberg. The tip of the iceberg, the biggest published series of
- 49:13myocarditis before the pandemic, across decades and decades of accumulating data, was five
- 49:21hundred cases. In my practice. Before the pandemic, I had only seen
- 49:25two cases of myocarditis, and one of them was fatal. Now there are
- 49:30papers laying at it all in the British Medical Journal, open eighteen thousand cases
- 49:37in a single manuscript. I am seeing dozens and dozens of cases in my
- 49:42practice. I have well more than several hundred cases with myocarditis. That is
- 49:47how common it is. And it's sad to say I don't have a chance
- 49:52to see all of those who've died of a cardiac arrest. In the Holsher
- 49:57paper that I've quoted, the cause of of sudden adult dust syndrome is very
- 50:02likely to be vaccine induced myocarditis, and it may be so sufficiently subtle it
- 50:08couldn't be detected on an MRI even if we got one right. So,
- 50:17with those quotes in mind, I'd like to think that the UK column audience
- 50:22has been on top of us for you know, the last three or four
- 50:25years. So these are things that maybe we saw coming, we already knew,
- 50:30But you know, I'm really happy to see that the rest of the
- 50:32world is starting to wake up and starting to see what's going on. So,
- 50:36going back to the times and the Great Reset so called theory, this
- 50:42was a published book called COVID nineteen The Great Reset. I do not quite
- 50:45understand how Claus Schwab and his colleague managed to have an entire book published in
- 50:52July twenty twenty about something that had apparently only happened in March twenty twenty.
- 50:58So a quote from that book which is published, the most recent biotechnology techniques
- 51:01using RNA and DNA platforms make it possible to develop vaccines faster than ever.
- 51:08They might also helped with the development of new bioengineered treatments. So what did
- 51:14we see at the end of last week. We saw m and ra injections
- 51:16for cancer being rolled out. And so this is something from the World Economic
- 51:22Forums website, a global risk report which was done in collaboration with two insurance
- 51:28companies. So they're saying a variety of things here based on global risks both
- 51:32for the next two years and the next ten years. Now, first of
- 51:36all, the next two years, the highest global risk is misinformation and disinformation,
- 51:43and we see all these other horrible things that can happen to us the
- 51:45next two years, the next ten years. You know, as you can
- 51:51see that the top major risks the next ten years mean that weather and climate
- 51:55and biodiversity loss is going to make the world blow up and fall apart anyway.
- 52:00So I'm not quite sure why information will matter when it's number five when
- 52:05the rest of the world has blown up, But there we go. So
- 52:08when we look at what's going to happen from here, I want to take
- 52:14the viewers through an exercise in truly fighting misinformation and truly finding what is fact
- 52:20and what is not. So something that we've all been wondering about if you've
- 52:23been watching Twitter in the last couple of weeks, is where is Klaus Schwab
- 52:27himself? Well, it was first published a couple of weeks ago on this
- 52:30website called The Weekly Crier, which is the first website that I can find
- 52:35that mentioned Klaus was hospitalized and maybe died. But we also see that they
- 52:40issued a retraction of that story, which you can see it on the right.
- 52:45You can also see another clue when you're looking for the validity and credibility
- 52:50of websites is that they usually have bad grammar and spelling, so you can
- 52:52see and their correction or their retraction they spelled Klaus as callous k A l
- 52:59I s. If you look at the Weekly Criers about us page, it
- 53:02says they're very clearly that they also feature satire and comedic opinion pieces and editorials.
- 53:10So from this we can see this is maybe something more like the Babylon
- 53:14Bee or the onion or something that is not meant to be taken one hundred
- 53:16percent seriously. So this spread to a couple of other websites, some other
- 53:22Twitter accounts, things like that, So of course all the fact checkers came
- 53:27in. So here's one from the Associated Press who said that it is not
- 53:30true that he was hospitalized and might have died, and they quote here as
- 53:36they say satire, comedic opinion pieces and editorials, where they didn't directly mention
- 53:42the name of the website that started spreading this, but they did say that
- 53:45the WF spokesperson told the AP that the claims are untrue. But if you
- 53:51go down to the bottom of their claim here and they said the word bug.
- 53:53So going back to your point in your segment, Brian appears to be
- 53:58emphasized in reference to another false plays that the WF wants to replace meat with
- 54:02bugs. And we see here on a Twitter feed which was we had two
- 54:08million views talking about clouds being seriously ill on other accounts. But if we
- 54:13go on from there and we look at a previous fact check on the next
- 54:16slide from the ap, this was from I think it was the twenty twenty
- 54:22three I believe, January meeting in Davos, where they said all the conspiracy
- 54:29theories are circulating because all the elites are arriving in Davos and everyone else is
- 54:32talking about this. And then they said, well, meanwhile, the popular
- 54:36claim that the forum wants people to replace meat with bugs, they distorted reference
- 54:39to an article once published on the organization's website, which is mentioned in the
- 54:45text of that so called fact check. And if you go to the World
- 54:47Economic Forum website itself, and the point that I want to make is to
- 54:51go back to the original source as closely as possible to get the closest to
- 54:54whatever the truth actually is. And I just did a quick search for eating
- 54:59insects, and we get there are almost three hundred results in the WEF's search
- 55:02engine about eating insects and why it can reduce climate change and so on and
- 55:07so forth. So it's really really important to go back to our sources.
- 55:12And so from here, when I was fact checking, I just happened to
- 55:15see that the WEF is in the progress of I think the special meeting ends
- 55:22today. So it was a special meeting in Saudi Arabia around energy, and
- 55:25so there are three themes that were going. I was looking to see if
- 55:29maybe Klaus was on the agenda, but I couldn't find his name. Unfortunately.
- 55:32I was hoping that would be one of the ways to verify whether or
- 55:36not he is still alive. But we do have three themes that are important
- 55:39to look at. Apparently one is a Compact for Inclusive growth, not quite
- 55:45sure what that means, revitalizing global corporation, and the one that catalyzing action
- 55:50and energy for development. I want to say that catalyzing that misspelling was the
- 55:53wf's, not mine. And here we can see once again that they are
- 55:59trying to affect the livelihood and lives of people. Quote, the number of
- 56:04people without access to energy, without access to energy is not decreasing at the
- 56:09pace needed to achieve the sustainable development goals, particularly in developing economies, so
- 56:16we need poor people to have less access to energy to meet the sustainable development
- 56:22goals. So once again languages is inverted. Sustainable means unsustainable, at least
- 56:27when it comes to human life. The closing plenary, which I think might
- 56:31have just gone on just recently today, features among other prominent speakers the CEO
- 56:37of Maderna, David Cameron and the President of the World Economic Forums. So
- 56:43all of those recordings from the meeting over the weekend and today are available online
- 56:49if you should so wish to subject yourself to them. Brian Delan, thank
- 56:53you very much for that. I'm wondering whether I should phone the Times up
- 56:57and say do you want a proper investigative report to look at information because clearly
- 57:01Harry Potter sorry Tombull from the Times needs replacing. But the Times can't do
- 57:08this investigation. You're able to do it, and thank you very much for
- 57:13providing that through the UK column. Mark. We've got to an appropriate point
- 57:17to bring you back in because of course, if we're talking about these matters
- 57:22and health, we need to be looking at the World Health Organization. Thank
- 57:28you, Brian, the who pre pandemic treaty. Of course, they want
- 57:34to negotiate that May twenty seventh through June first at the seventy seventh World Health
- 57:38Assembly. As that approaches, they're getting very strident, you might even say
- 57:43militant about worldwide vaccinations with all inclusive language. Vaccinate everyone, everywhere. So
- 57:51I learned this this past Wednesday, the twenty fourth of April, covering in
- 57:55real time at WHO press conference. UK column is registered media there, and
- 58:02we'll just go on from there. We'll get right into the meat of it.
- 58:06In the interest of time. The big thing, the Big Takeaway Global
- 58:10Partners announce a new effort, the Big Ketchup, to vaccinate millions of children
- 58:15and restore immunization progress lost during the pandemic. The clip you're looking at from
- 58:21the WHO is from one year ago, but when they had the press conference
- 58:24last week, that's when they really put it into motion. Now this is
- 58:29from that press release of a year ago. And I'll just hit the highlights.
- 58:34The pandemic saw essential immunization levels decrease in over one hundred countries. Oh
- 58:39you know, perish the thought. The Big Ketchup is an extended effort to
- 58:44lift vaccination levels among children to at least pre pandemic levels and endeavors to exceed
- 58:51those led by a broad range of national and global health partners, much of
- 58:55it big Pharma. The Big Ketchup also aims to ensure longer primary health care
- 59:00services for essential immunization in the future. It involves Gabby, UNICEF, the
- 59:07WHO, the Gaates Foundation going on pushing toward Agenda twenty thirty, the strategic
- 59:13or sustainable development goals rather and so on. The effort aims, as it
- 59:17says in this next slide, to reverse the declines in childhood vaccination recorded in
- 59:22over one hundred countries since the pandemic and bumping down to the bottom of that
- 59:30well. In the top part, it mentions vaccine hesitancy is another problem.
- 59:35People aren't even supposed to hesitate. They're just supposed to put that mRNA needle
- 59:38in their arm without even thinking. And then they mentioned with over twenty five
- 59:43million children missing at least one vaccination in twenty twenty one alone, Oh the
- 59:47humanity Right. Outbreaks of preventable disease, including measles, that theory a polio
- 59:52and yellow fever are already becoming more prevalent now that can be a problem true,
- 59:58but the narrative is that vaccines are the only answer and we'll move on
- 1:00:00from there. This is doctor moas Sana, he spoke. These are original
- 1:00:06photos I took and he spoke at that press conference last week and this is
- 1:00:12representative of what was said. As our other quotes that are coming up in
- 1:00:15a minute, Brian, he said this, we're launching the Big Ketchup with
- 1:00:20two hundred and ninety million from the GAVY Board in support of wanting to achieve
- 1:00:24the Big Ketchup by twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five. Moving on from
- 1:00:29there, GAVY, of course is the Vaccine Alliance. This explains a little
- 1:00:35bit more about what he was talking about. The successful start to Nigeria's HPV
- 1:00:39vaccine introduction in November and other introductions in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Toga
- 1:00:45and other countries are crucial steps toward our target of reaching over eighty six million
- 1:00:52girls by twenty twenty five with HPV with those vaccines so called vaccines. These
- 1:00:58efforts will be further boosted by the Board's approval, that's the GABBY Board of
- 1:01:02an initial US two hundred and ninety million drawn from COVAC savings that can now
- 1:01:08be reinvested to fully fund doses for children to catch up on routine vaccinations that
- 1:01:15were missed during COVID nineteen. So that's a little bit more about that two
- 1:01:19hundred and ninety million dollars. Then we'll go from there. And these are
- 1:01:22other quotes to round out what was said at that press conference. This is
- 1:01:27Violain Michelle of the Gates Foundation itself. We are truly on course for a
- 1:01:32world of vaccination for all, she said parenthetically, while recognizing field workers who
- 1:01:39work to vaccinate all children everywhere. She wanted that to be recognized. And
- 1:01:45we'll go from there. And here's Tadros himself, the Director General. He's
- 1:01:51really on a messianic mission. As the Pandemic Treaty, a World Health Assembly
- 1:01:55comes up where they also want to talk about the IHR REGs. He said,
- 1:02:00more support is needed from donors to who is dedicated to the life saving
- 1:02:06nature of vaccinating everyone everywhere. Quote end quote. And this is doctor kato'brian,
- 1:02:15another apparatic at the WHO. This is more of a paraphrasing. She
- 1:02:20spoke on misinformation, as Diane mentioned a minute ago, on the measles vaccine.
- 1:02:25She called it a safe vaccine, countering the misinformationists and said the measles
- 1:02:30are highly infectious. Vaccines, she stressed, are the only way to go,
- 1:02:36while complaining that backsliding by the public has curbed widespread vaccinations and we'll move
- 1:02:45on from there. Doctor Michael Ryan, who's the WHO Health Emergencies Program Director,
- 1:02:51also spoke at the press conference. Again, these are all photos I
- 1:02:53took. We must have a candidate vaccine ready at all times and be ready
- 1:02:59to act really, really quickly. A candidate vaccine, which makes it sound
- 1:03:02like it's something tentative that perhaps hasn't been tested much. Meanwhile, I received
- 1:03:08this while it was still embargoed. On the twenty sixth of April, the
- 1:03:14WHO held its first high level meningitis meeting, hosted by the Government of France,
- 1:03:21and as it says in the headline, there is a joint news release
- 1:03:23the WHO and France convene high level meeting to defeat meningitis and that's primarily a
- 1:03:30vaccine preventable way of doing that they're claiming. And then, lastly, although
- 1:03:36I've got an announcement about the World Health Assembly, the joint FAO WHO preliminary
- 1:03:45assessment of reaching recent influenza H five N one viruses and what this says,
- 1:03:52without getting into the details too much, Brian, is that for now the
- 1:03:57candidate for the next pandemic repeatedly is H five N one or the bird flu.
- 1:04:02And what was stated was that it's not contagious at all. It has
- 1:04:06a very low contagious factor. But if a human catches it, it's now
- 1:04:12being claimed by the WHO that this would be more deadly than COVID nineteen,
- 1:04:16and they're keeping a close watch on it. Don't you worry? Well,
- 1:04:20right, you have this point. Well, thank you very much for that.
- 1:04:26I know you've got an extra update. What I'd like to do is
- 1:04:29cover that update in UK column extra after the news we've run over just a
- 1:04:33little bit, if you're happy to do that. But I'm going to say
- 1:04:36thank you for an excellent update. And we can see the power coming into
- 1:04:41play from the World Health Organization and of course our own governments simply denying that
- 1:04:47there is this global power base under the control of the World Health Organization,
- 1:04:53so lots more warnings to be given. We must end there. So Diane,
- 1:04:58Mark, thank you both very much joining me today. It's been a
- 1:05:00really interesting news. Great to have you both here on UK column News today.
