Good afternoon. It's Wednesday, the twenty sixth of June twenty twenty four,
0:11
just after one o'clock. Welcome, do you k call him news? I'm
0:13
your host Mac Robinson joining me by video link. We have Vanessa Biley from
0:17
Damascus and Charles Mallett. Welcome to the program. Both. We are going
0:22
to kick off with the release yesterday of Julian Nsanje. He was released from
0:28
Belmarsh Prison. He had been there since twenty nineteen. He got on a
0:34
chartered aircraft which flew him to Bangkok initially and then to Saipan, which is
0:41
apparently an unincorporated organized territory of the United States, and there he had took
0:47
part in a court hearing. I'm sure everybody knows this by now, but
0:51
anyway, he pled guilty to one charge. He was due to be sentenced
0:55
to five years in prison, and with time served he was released. And
1:00
well you've just seen him getting off the aircraft again in Australia, So a
1:04
Sianish out of prison. And well, I guess we can have a discussion
1:10
about that. But if we look at this, what was the BBC's response
1:15
campaigner or attention seeker. So, first of all, Charles, I don't
1:19
know what your thoughts are here, but does the average attention seeker do they
1:25
spend fourteen years in incarceration of various types? Good afternoon, Mike, Good
1:30
afternoon, all. I don't think they do. No, I think I
1:34
think that's extremely unfair and really deflective sort of look at it by the BBC.
1:38
And I think the question really now should not be about his current predicament,
1:45
but should be a chance to go over what has happened to him,
1:48
what did happen, and to have some redress for him, but also to
1:52
be able to make sure that that cannot happen to anybody again. Well.
1:56
Indeed, now the Australian government seems to have had quite a to play on
2:00
this, and of course historically they haven't, but there has been a change
2:02
of government in Australia and the new regime there seems to have been a bit
2:07
more proactive about sorting this side. So whether they're latest actions including delegations sent
2:15
to the United States Congress at the end of last year and so on,
2:17
whether that had anything to do with it, I'm not sure. Of course,
2:21
we can't underestimate the campaign that's been run over the last number of years
2:27
by Wiki Leagues and their supporters. But the other issue here and Vanessa is,
2:34
as Charles has just said, we shouldn't try to deflect away from what
2:38
a science has actually done. I mean, what are your thoughts about the
2:42
contribution that he's made. Well, he's done everything that the BBC has never
2:46
done. I mean, he's held power to account and he's also enabled through
2:53
the Wiki League's files, journalists that are looking to hold power to count he's
3:00
enabled them to do so. And I mean, you know, we don't
3:02
have the time right now to go through the very long history of information that
3:07
has been used or good basically from the Wiki Leagues platform, So you know
3:15
that bottom line, really he's done what all journalists and legacy media should be
3:20
doing and which none of them do, and that's why he's abilified. Indeed,
3:24
and a lot of the naysayers that I've seen on social media so far,
3:28
Vanessa are focusing on the alleged sexual improprieties and trying to deflect again away
3:35
from the release of the documentation itself. And you know, at the end
3:40
of the day, he has been or he has apparently pled guilty to a
3:46
charge of actually inciting the release of documentation. So the argument of the other
3:53
side, and this core case, is that it wasn't that he was just
3:57
handed documents by blows, but he actually incited that handing over of whistle boars.
4:03
There's got to be a massive public interest case in this, just acsolutely.
4:11
Yes, absolutely, And also, of course we shouldn't forget the timing,
4:15
just coming up to Biden's election, and you know, there's going to
4:20
be all sorts of different spins and different interests involved in trying to spin this
4:27
story. But I think, you know, we just have to keep a
4:30
focus on the goods that Julian As did, his statements that, as I've
4:35
said, have exposed really, you know, the criminals in this world,
4:43
and bear that in mind at all times. Yes, anything else is distraction.
4:48
Indeed, indeed, just to sort of finish this off, Charles just
4:54
was going to because we're going to come on to we're going to come on
4:57
to independent candidates later on and who should be the next prime minister perhaps,
5:02
but I just thought we should highlight this and let's bring this on screen because
5:08
this is an excerpt from a book called Secret Power by Stefani Marizzi and We're
5:14
making the point here that it was the Crime Prosecution Service, a public authority
5:17
then headed by Kir Starmer, which had helped create the legal paralysis and diplomatic
5:21
quagmar responsible for Julian Assange's arbitrary detention. So that I guess gives us care
5:29
Starmer's involvement in the Julian Assange case, Care Starmer's involvement in some of the
5:33
prosecutions over the Horizon It scandal that continues, the inquiry continues on that at
5:42
the moment, and also the Jimmy Savil case. So Ker Starmer it seems
5:46
doesn't have a great reputation with respect to judicial matters, and the question is
5:53
is he qualified to be Prime minister? Well, I don't know that's background
6:00
with the CPS could be directly overlaid to any sort of political capability, But
6:05
it doesn't look like he's somebody that is able to confront issues that have blighted
6:13
his past, or atally should be viewed as having blighted his past. And
6:15
this doesn't seem to have propped up nearly enough during the inquisition of him as
6:20
an individual or his election campaign. And if he's going to put himself forward
6:26
as somebody who's sort of made a difference to the country in the past,
6:29
then that needs to be examined and scrutinized. He needs to accept the consequences.
6:32
But no, I wouldn't say that, based on his parent leadership of
6:36
the CPS as DPP, that he's covered himself in anything like glory. No,
6:44
indeed. Okay, well, so congratulations to Asang. Some people sorry,
6:47
just to finish this off, and so some people will be perhaps disappointed
6:51
that there may be a precedent said here by him accepting this guilty plea on
6:58
a single charge. But it seems to me that if there's going to be
7:01
any criticism there, then people need to also have spent certainly several years in
7:08
Belmarsh and a lot of years in another form of incarceration before that, before
7:13
any criticism is leveled. Absolutely, walk in his shoes. I think that's
7:18
you know, it's a very unfair criticism. Look, as I said,
7:21
look at what he's achieved, look at what he's done, look at what
7:25
he's gone through, and leave the guy alone. I'm only sad actually that
7:30
John Pilger didn't live to see this day. I think he would have been
7:35
overjoyed. Yes, okay, well, look let's move on to another serious
7:41
issue at the moment of that is the situation with respect to Lebanon and Israel.
7:46
And well, the Daily Telegraph has been behaving not terribly correctly here.
7:54
Yes, I think a call should be made to Marianna Spring of BBC Verify
7:59
to follow through or this story quite extraordinary actually from the Telegraph, And I
8:03
just want to mention that this afternoon we're receiving reports of Israel claiming that it's
8:07
making preemptive strikes on southern Lebanon. We can only assume that means preemptive pre
8:16
invasion. It remains to be seen, of course, of Israel will actually
8:20
carry through with the invasion, but it's very intense bombardment that is currently ongoing.
8:26
So anyway, so a few days ago the Telegraph produced quite an extraordinary
8:31
article making a claim it had no byline, it's written anonymously, it's full
8:37
of anonymous sources. Hez Bala stores missiles and explosives at Lebanon's main airport.
8:43
Whistleblowers claim, of course, no mention of the fact that the US is
8:46
bringing missiles and weapons into Lebanon via the same roughie Kari Airport in Beirut.
8:56
So what are they actually claiming. They're claiming that effectively Hazblayra is storing huge
9:01
quantities of Iranian weapons, missiles and explosives in the main civilian airport. They
9:07
say that also at the airport is the eighty to fourteen cornet. Well,
9:11
by the way, that's manufactured in Syria, and Syria really doesn't need to
9:13
fly it into Beyrout. It can be transported across border. The disclosures will
9:20
raise fears that the Raphi Carreri Airport, just four miles from the city center,
9:24
could become a major military target. Will you don't say the fact that
9:28
the Telegraph actually produced this article at this stage in the conflict between Southern Lebanon
9:35
and Israel is absolutely criminal in my opinion. They then made the claim that
9:43
a security source that the International Air Transport Association told the Telegraph we have been
9:48
aware of this for years, but we are unable to do anything without international
9:52
legal action. We are hand tied to do what we'd really like, which
9:56
is to close the airport and have all the weapons and ex explosives removed.
10:01
Absolutely fake news, fake attribution of this citation so let's have a look at
10:09
what the IATA actually said in a statement to the National News Agency, which
10:15
is basically the official ministry of Information in Lebanon. The quote is completely false
10:20
and misattributed. IATA has not made and will not make any comments on the
10:26
situation at Beirut Airport. We have no involvement in the political or security situation
10:31
in Lebanon and would never comment on such matters. We alerted the Telegraph to
10:35
the error, and the newspaper has since updated the article removing iaiata's name.
10:43
Well, yes, they did remove the section which mentioned I. E.
10:48
Iata, but with absolutely no retraction, absolutely no explanation of why the article
10:56
was not only altered in its text, but also in the headline. Two
11:01
Beirut airport bosses deny it's being used to store HESBLA weapons and what is particularly
11:09
dishonest. If you go to the original URL and click on it, you
11:13
arrive at the new article with no as. Again, no explanation, no
11:16
retraction, no update, no apology. Labanon's caretaker Minister of Public Works and
11:22
Transport, Ali Hamni this is from Almyadin, proclaimed that Beirut Airport has been
11:28
subjected disinformation for years, adding that instead of publishing a ridiculous and baseless report
11:37
citing anonymous forces, the British Daily should have opted for checking in with the
11:41
British Department of Transport, which conducted a field visit of the airport on January
11:46
the twenty second, twenty twenty four. Incredible dereliction of journalistic ethics and duty
11:52
by the Telegraph, Greg Carstrom, the Economist Middle East correspondent, I'd love
11:58
to know the backstory of who, at the time Telegraph decided to publish something
12:01
so transparent that no one, even our foreign staff, was willing to put
12:07
their name to it. Lebanon's caretake Minister of Information Side Marcuri accused the Telegraphs
12:13
article in a post on X contradicting the principles and ethics of journalism, and
12:18
called on all media outlets not only to denounce it, but also to expose
12:22
the goals behind its publication in these circumstances, in particular stressing that they are
12:28
not innocent. I would agree with that the Telegraph is complicit in any escalation
12:33
that includes the bombing of a civilian airport in the center of Beirut, a
12:39
diplomatic This is translated from Arabic in al Akba. Diplomatic and media tour at
12:46
the airport facilities was immediately organized, and a British Foreign Office staff in Beirut
12:54
denied any collusion with the Telegraph and basically distanced themselves from the Telegraph, which
13:00
is kind of interesting because we know that the Telegraph pretty much works hand in
13:05
glove with intelligence agencies in the UK. So this was a quick report by
13:11
actually a reporter from the National news agency, so not affiliated the law during
13:18
the visit to the airport. Lebanon's Transportation minister has called for an open tour
13:26
of the Beirut International Airport after the British newspaper The Telegraph published an anonymously sourced
13:33
an anonymously written article alleging that the Lebanese has Bulo group is smuggling and stockpiling
13:39
all matter of weapons in the international airport. So we've been walking from warehouse
13:43
to warehouse, whereas you can see behind me, there are stock files of
13:46
various boxes. We've even searched in some of the boxes, and so far
13:50
there are no weapons to be found. The Telegraph article alludging all sorts of
13:54
weapons in the civilian airport has caused critics to be concerned that the newspaper maybe
14:01
manufacturing consent for a potential Israeli strike on the airport, which Israel has done
14:07
in the past. This comes at a time a heightened conflict, one might
14:11
say, already a war that has erupted between Israel and Hasbula and its allied
14:18
militias, although there are fears that it could be stalked into a larger all
14:22
out and maybe even regional war. It's also interesting the reaction from Israeli media,
14:31
which of course is to bolster the story. This is just from two
14:35
selections, the Times of Israel and whine Up, but you can see that
14:39
they've immediately run with the story with the potential of using it as justification for
14:46
bombing. I repeat, a civilian airport that has tens of thousands of people
14:50
going through it every day. The Air Transport Union in Lebanon denied in a
14:54
statement the Telegraphs report, in which it claimed that his Philosopher's missiles. The
15:00
UTA called the Telegraphs unfounded claims, mere illusions and lies aimed at endangering Beirut
15:05
Airport, It's civilian workers as well as travelers to and from it. All
15:09
of whom are civilians. So I mean, I repeat again, this is
15:15
extraordinarily criminal action by the Telegraph. And in fact Lebanon is now talking about
15:22
suing the Telegraph and damaging the reputation of Fairute's main airport, and in the
15:28
text of the article it talks about putting civilian lives at severe risk. And
15:33
if we just remember when we're talking about journalistic integrity, I just found this
15:41
video by chance looking at Telegraphs Twitter x page back in twenty twenty when they
15:50
were running a COVID fake news campaign, and this is what they said in
15:56
one of the videos that made up that campaign. But there's a lot of
16:00
misinformation out there. Some of it's produced by people who are intentionally seeking to
16:06
mislead, some of it by people who are inadversively misleading the truth. Is
16:11
the best way to note the information you're getting is right is if it comes
16:14
from a credible source, for example the NHS or the government, and it's
16:18
being reported in a rectable news source like a telegram. Well, I mean,
16:26
you know, I'm smiling, but honestly, this has kind of blown
16:33
me away with how dishonest and downright criminal lack of reporting this is that was
16:41
a complete fantasy report put out to effectively, as I said, to provide
16:47
the pretext for Israel to bomb a civilian airport. They should be hauled over
16:52
the cold. Yeah, I mean in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, whenever
16:56
it was when you and I were running media on trial events, we were
17:02
focusing on the British media's coverage of Syrian war, for example, and the
17:07
types of tactics. But even in Syria we didn't see. This is beyond
17:12
well beyond anything they did even in other conflicts that we had an interest in.
17:18
Yeah, I mean the Telegraph was also taking part in the vilification of
17:22
the Syrian government, which effectively was a pre tax for the murder of Syrian
17:26
civilians, the occupation of their territory and murderous attacks on the Syrian Arabami inside
17:34
Syria, and thirteen coming up to fourteen years war sanctions, et cetera.
17:41
But yeah, I mean, this even after their exposure as fraudulent media multiple
17:47
times, and if you remember, they were actually running the headline that Saddam
17:52
had moved his weapons of destruction into Syria. So this isn't the first time.
17:57
That was back in two thousand and four, at the same time that
18:00
the BBC's Juliet parkin BBC Media and Action was infiltrating Syrian society to basically encourage
18:11
opposition. So you know, these media outlets at some point have got to
18:18
be held accountable for the role they've played in genocide in Gaza, but also
18:25
in mass atrocities carried out by the UK regime globally. Yes, okay,
18:30
thank you. Well, if we're talking about wardrums and the banging of war
18:36
drums, that's not the only intervention that the British media plays. The other
18:41
is election interference. Charles, Yes, not just the British media. I
18:48
mean, last week I spoke about the feeling of disenfranchisement across the electorate and
18:52
the record number of independent candidates that are going to be standing in this general
18:57
election. But what I'd like to look at today are some of the obstacles
19:00
presented to those candidates and effectively what looks like a deliberate engineering of the system
19:07
in order to suppress independent candidates. Of course, because they cannot be controlled
19:11
in the same way that candidates or indeed MPs belonging to a political party can
19:17
be. So just a couple of headlines from local newspapers talking about independent candidates
19:22
not invited to hustings. But I just want to give the background to this.
19:26
And of course the Electoral Commission, whilst writing about how to conduct or
19:32
hold hustings, make it very clear that there are of course two different types.
19:36
So they say that some hustings cannot be reasonably regarded as intended to promote
19:40
any parties or candidates over any others. We call this a non selective hustings,
19:45
and there's therefore a spending implication or at least declaration on that. But
19:52
in addition to non selective, the guidance also explained situations in which hustings can
19:56
be reasonably regard as intended to to promote the candidates or parties who attend.
20:03
We call this a selective hustings. In this case, either the hustings organizer
20:07
or the candidates or parties may need to account for the spending. Now that
20:14
therefore is that actually it's not the Electoral Commission that dictates who would be invited
20:18
to a hustings, it's the organizer. And we'll just have a run through
20:22
of some of the possibilities or some of the slants on hustings, which might
20:26
dictate exactly why independent candidates wouldn't be asked. So first of all, we'll
20:30
look at Friends of the Earth, so obviously there's going to be an environmental
20:34
bent to hustings organized by Friends of the Earth. We've then got from West
20:37
Coast today the urban hustings election candidates speak on LGBTQ plus and local issues.
20:45
Then the Operation Black Vote hosting a national series of political hustings. Then we
20:51
go to the Muslim courents and of Britain hustings at mosques, and then Jewish
20:55
community hustings written up for the general election twenty twelve four. So the point
21:00
about that is that there is in effect no control mechanism by which an independent
21:07
candidate may squeeze themselves into these selective hustings. So that's the first part.
21:11
The second part, as Mike says, is the media coverage, and this
21:15
is governed by Offcom and effectively is tantamount to censorship of independent candidates by means
21:25
of the guidance that they have written down, or at least the rules they've
21:27
written down in elections and referendums Section six so particularly section six point two due
21:36
weight must be given to the coverage of parties and independent candidates during the election
21:41
period. In determining the appropriate level of coverage to be given, broadcasters must
21:47
take into account evidence of past electoral support and or current support. Well,
21:52
of course, that's rather a closed loop, because if it's an independent candidate
21:56
that hasn't stood before, there will be no evidence of past electoral support.
22:00
And if the media or broadcasters have not previously been reporting accurately the level of
22:04
support for an independent candidate, then they're absolutely trapped and OFCOM will perpetuate that
22:10
cycle. It goes on Rule six point two, due weight must be given
22:12
to designated organizations in coverage during the referendum period. Broadcasters must also consider consider
22:19
giving appropriate coverage to other permitted participants with significant views and perspectives. Now,
22:26
that is a very well effectively ambiguous statement in which it might be interpreted in
22:32
any way permitted participants with significant views and perspectives. Well, who judges that
22:38
there's guidance on this, And of course OFCOM actually clarify it by saying it's
22:42
an editorial decision for the broadcaster as to what constitutes appropriate coverage. In relation
22:48
to Rule six point two. The concept of giving due weight as required by
22:52
Rule six point two is flexible. Its application depends on the next sorry on
22:59
the electoral context. So it's quite clear to see that the system is such
23:06
that the independent candidates may be shut out at will, not just by the
23:10
organizers of hustings, but also by the broadcasters and the other thing I just
23:15
thought we'd look at given that it's Pride month. There's been some talk about
23:19
the Labor Manifesto and what they've put out about transgender people, and they're calling
23:29
this respection and Opportunity for all. That's the heading they've given this. I
23:32
just want to highlight the hipoxy of it. They say so called conversion therapy
23:37
is abuse. There is no other word for it. So Labor will finally
23:40
deliver a full, trans inclusive ban on conversion practices while protecting the freedom for
23:45
people to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity. Of course, given that
23:49
it is Pride month, and given that there is a wave of targeted propaganda
23:56
at particularly young people with the benefit of being able to change gender at will,
24:04
the fact that they are describing conversion therapy as abuse is telling. And
24:10
of course back to front because in effect, what they're allowing for is conversion
24:14
therapy, or at least is the absolute encouragement of people to change gender in
24:19
the first place. They then go on to say they'll modernize, simplify,
24:22
and reform the intrusive and outdated gender recognition law to a new process will remove
24:27
in dignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance, whilst retaining the need
24:33
for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a specialist doctor, enabling access to the
24:37
healthcare pathway. Now, there are many issues that crop up there, but
24:41
I think the main thing that's never concentrated on in this debate are these supposed
24:45
healthcare professionals who are actually providing a diagnosis and giving in effect a clinical recognition
24:52
to this that puts them on the so called healthcare pathway. These are the
24:56
people that need to be held to account and very sell them. Are they
25:00
ever mentioned? Yes? Okay, thank you for that, Charles. Okay.
25:04
If you like what the UK Colum does, you would like to support
25:07
us, you can do so with support dot UK column dot org. The
25:11
options are there. Membership is five or a month. We do need your
25:14
support. If you can do that, please help us side, but do
25:18
share it materially. You find on the various platforms, not Facebook, but
25:22
certainly UK column dot Org and UK column extra Stock Collert UK. You could
25:26
pick something up at the UK Column Shop. And I will say again a
25:30
massive thank you to everybody that's grabbed a copy of your life in their hands.
25:34
If you haven't got a copy of this yet, we are encouraging everybody,
25:40
especially members, to get a copy. We want this distributed as far
25:42
and wide as we possibly can, so if you haven't got a copy yet,
25:45
please do get hold of one. Okay, we have the interview you
25:52
did Charles with Mark Bryford on the website. Yeah, it's terrific interview.
25:56
It's got very good feedback so far. Mark is a farmer in Suffolk and
26:00
he's a rare breed because he has a very clear idea of what's gone wrong
26:06
in terms of farming practices and the control mechanisms but also destruction of the environment.
26:10
But he has practical means by which this can be changed, both at
26:15
this sort of bigger farm level but also at the individual level, how you
26:18
can get involved and take control of your own food supply. So I'd really
26:22
encourage you to listen to that, thank you. And tomorrow at one pm
26:26
Debbie will be speaking to Ursula Edgington, who is from New Zealand, and
26:30
they're just going to be covering They're going to be covering all the COVID related
26:33
the stuff that happened in New Zealand and what's happened since. So join us
26:37
for that at one pm tomorrow. It did for your Darry. Saturday,
26:41
the nineteenth of October twenty twenty four in Bristol, we will be holding a
26:47
really live event and so we will be there and that the venue will be
26:52
announced much closer to the time, but keep an eye out further information about
26:57
this. Then for the well, I guess the final time now the Science
27:03
Beautiful Festival in Wimborne and Dorset begins well tomorrow and I think Kenny is already
27:10
there today, but we will all be there for that. So if you're
27:12
joining us for that, please we hope to see you and look forward to
27:15
meeting you. Okay, now, Charles, where does that take us?
27:21
That takes us too? Well? Are we being killed by cattle? Well?
27:26
This is it. The relentless push to convince us that all livestock is
27:30
not just deadly but also destructive to the environment. So we start with an
27:36
announcement that DEFRA have just reported on African swine fever in pigs and wild boars
27:41
in Europe. Of course you won't be surprised to know this amounts to one
27:45
case of the wild boar in Western Germany for the first time. Nonetheless,
27:51
that has made them concentrate on development of a vaccine for African swine flu.
27:56
Of course, this is only possible because of the use of the PCR tests,
28:00
so this is in effect the COVID model being put onto livestock. And
28:04
then we look at the Perbright Institute, which we've spoken about a number of
28:08
times before, and they run a course lab diagnosis of African swine fever conveniently
28:15
enough, in which you will be able to learn how to isolate ASF virus
28:18
and applied diagnostic methods. So it's little coincidence to find that Perbright Institute are
28:26
also joining the European Swine Fever Project, which is going to be developing new
28:30
technologies for African swine fever vaccines. Here we see at the European Commission.
28:36
On top of that, we've got avian influenza recorded in Australia. Again absolute
28:41
bare minimum of evidence, but still it's enough to put out a press release
28:45
about it. And this again is meant to make people swallow the idea of
28:52
the spread of something not just from one creature to another, but also from
28:56
one species to another and then of course onto humans. So they all about
29:00
H five and H five N one having spread among seabirds and of course in
29:04
the Falklands. Then we go back to the elephant seals earlier in the year,
29:07
so then now prepared for detections in Australia despite the absolute minimal evidence of
29:15
five cases again by PCR test. Further, we've got on the environmental side
29:22
of it. Denmark yesterday has just put through a carbon tax on agriculture and
29:27
again this seems to be a push to eliminate livestock from people's lives. This
29:34
came from an earlier policy paper February twenty ten to three the adaptation of Danish
29:40
farm sector to attax on greenhouse gas emissions, and in effect it does leave
29:47
people begging the question that McGill University did ask, which is why isn't the
29:51
carbon dioxide from breathing a concern for global warming? Meaning if animals are to
29:57
be attacked for effectively breathing, why are humans not subject to the same treatment.
30:04
But the answer seems to be that carbon dioxide we inhale does not contribute
30:08
to global warming for the simple reason that we also take up an equivalent amount
30:11
of carbon dioxide from the air, albeit indirectly. No one really seems to
30:17
be able to explain why animals aren't regarded in the same light. But the
30:21
point here to consider really is that despite the absolute absence of any sort of
30:27
coherent science, we are continually being pushed to consider that we should eliminate meat
30:34
from our diets, that livestock are no good for the environment, and that
30:38
we are likely to catch disease off them, or that they will spread disease
30:42
among each other. So this is of course something that we have been looking
30:47
at for a while and we'll keep very much keep an eye on, but
30:49
particularly with regard to the push or the suggestion that these things can jump not
30:56
just geographically but from species to species despite absolute dearth of evidence. Yes,
31:03
but well, I would argue Charles, they are absolutely encouraging us to believe
31:07
that humans are contributing to global warming through breathing out which is why they want
31:11
to stop us breathing at all. And we'll come onto the war policy a
31:15
bit more in a second. But in the meantime, of course, we
31:18
have a situation if we put this on screen of the net zero policy being
31:25
used to justify more and more lithium ion batteries being created, and what we
31:29
can see on screen here is the sparks and the eventual burning of lithium batteries
31:36
in South Korea in a manufacturing facility in South Korea. This killed twenty two
31:41
mostly Chinese migrant workers. It injured another aid and so this far as you
31:48
can see, began after the batteries exploded. But then we in a second,
31:52
we'll move on to Glasgow because in this case, so that was South
31:57
Korea. So let's have a look at the Glasgow video and very similar kinds
32:02
of pictures in terms of the smoke coming out of this. But this was
32:06
on Sunday night. Firefighters at the scene to try to deal with This was
32:10
a battery recycling facility. But the key thing here is that what did we
32:17
see on social media afterwards? But we saw allegations that isn't it a coincidence
32:23
that we had two such incidents happening very close together in time and immediately after
32:30
the Russian North Korean Defense Pact was done, and so the suggestion was that
32:36
these two events were somehow linked to some kind of sabotage by the Russians.
32:42
Well, I haven't seen that while that was going on on social media.
32:45
I didn't see that going out in mainstream media. But already we're starting to
32:49
see the narrative start to build. So this is the Wall Street journal,
32:52
I believe from a couple of days ago, Russian saboteurs behind arson attack on
32:57
German factory. And I'm just a have to say a charge. I find
33:00
this really unbelievable, more nonsense, fake news from the mainstream press, pushing
33:07
a narrative with the suggestion that lithium fires happening in factories, which these things
33:13
happen on a fairly regular basis. And you've highlighted yourself the fact that the
33:17
British Fire Service extremely concerned about, you know, storage facilities in the countryside
33:22
for storing energy in lithium iron batteries being a fire hazard, which is not
33:29
understood. But we've got to divert our attention from that and look at Russia
33:35
being responsible instead on the Donkey. I mean, if you can, if
33:42
you can nail Russia for it, then why not also filling pages with this
33:45
sort of stuff stops you from asking politicians real questions in the run up to
33:47
the general election. Yes, I mean what they should really be concentrating on
33:51
here is how the United Kingdom is using lithium battery and battery storage facilities.
33:57
And exactly like you say, we've pointed this out and the fire services up
34:00
and down the land have massive concerns and you know you could tell from that
34:05
video in career you cannot put those fires out. So it's not just the
34:07
fire, but it's also the environmental hazard during and after the fire. And
34:13
there's just no regard given to this. There's absolutely no investigation of this policy
34:17
to to you know, potentially destroy large ways of the environment and it's not
34:23
going to get better. Indeed, and just before you come on to your
34:27
energy segmentary, Charles, I just want to make the point these fires can't
34:30
be put out because once these batteries go on fire, they start generating their
34:35
own oxygen supply, and that of course means that you know, you can't
34:38
easily put them out you can to smother them to create a barrier between the
34:44
oxygen and the atmosphere and the fire. Because it's generating, it's all oxygen,
34:49
so it's it's really dangerous. But anyway, you have a segment on
34:52
energy, now I do, and that's it. But you know, we
34:57
should go into this considering the implications, which are that lithium is required an
35:00
awful lot of what are called renewable technologies. But I'm going to start with
35:07
what's happening in London at the moment, which is the Breakthrough Energy Summit,
35:12
and that of course, is going to focus on all sorts of renewable technology.
35:15
It may not surprise you to learn that Bill Gates happens to be the
35:20
fonder of Breakthrough Energy, so he's managed to come over here for this summit.
35:25
But it's worth pointing out that a few weeks previously, a couple of
35:29
weeks previously, he put a message on x saying that I've been waiting for
35:34
this day for nearly twenty years. Today we broke ground on the first ever
35:37
Natrium plant in Kemera, Wyoming. This next generation nuclear power plant is a
35:42
big step towards safe, abundant, zero carbon energy. So what we're going
35:46
to look at is effectively what you're able to do with enough money and control
35:52
to be able to shape policy in order to stimulate demand and then make money
35:57
from the results. And Bill Gates also has an enterprise, conveniently enough,
36:01
which is just referred to in Wyoming called terror Power, which is addressing surgeon
36:06
gooble energy demand and preserving a sustainable future with the precise balance between renewable and
36:14
nuclear energy. Now this is not the first time it's been mentioned by UK
36:16
column Debi Evans had this in her blog back in May twenty twenty three.
36:21
But the significant development here as far as Gates is concerned are several fold.
36:27
First of all, on the business case, we've got the former Department for
36:30
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy forecasting an enormous upsurge in nuclear power capacity and
36:37
therefore demand for construction and capacity over the next few years up to twenty thirty
36:44
five. So it's good timing from Bill Gates there. But the next thing
36:47
to point out, of course, is that there is a health element to
36:52
this, and terror Power has terror Power isotopes, which is what they're describing
36:57
as nuclear innovation to advance new treatments. And again Debbie and on u K
37:01
column, we've spoken a lot about the massive push towards diagnostics, testing and
37:07
therefore treatments for cancer. So they're saying that there's a scarce global supply of
37:12
actinium two two five, an isotopic material in which they'll be able to or
37:16
with which they'll be able to support pharmaceutical companies cancer research and development efforts.
37:22
And just to cement that, they say that terror power and pan terrorort of
37:25
a lot of terror ann strategic collaboration to accelerate across actinium two to five.
37:32
So again good timing because McMillan Cancer Cancer Support show that there is a forecast.
37:40
Admittedly this does correlate very strongly with the ROWLIGHTE or new pharmaceutical products from
37:46
the end of twenty to twenty up to the present day. But also interesting
37:52
we see the drop off of diagnoses but a relatively flat line for death.
37:58
So again, in terms of marrcketing, what Gates has is being able to
38:04
in effect by testing, sell a product based on a test result, as
38:07
opposed to anybody necessarily being as ill as they might appear to be from the
38:12
test. But just finally we go to Astrosenica and they have announced that they
38:17
have acquired just this month June twenty twenty four Fusion and Fusion is part of
38:25
Astrosenica's oncology portfolio. With the addition of fusion pipeline of radio conjugates, including
38:31
their most advanced program, a potential new treatment for patients with metastatic castration resistant
38:37
prostate cancer, and brings new expertise and pioneering research and development, manufacturing and
38:43
supply chain capabilities in actinium based radioconjugates to Astrosenica. So there we go.
38:50
That's the whole circuit closed effectively by organizations like Terra Power who are able to
38:55
stimulate demand for such energy technology by shaping the policy because they give the right
39:01
amounts of money to the right organizations, and therefore we're driven down a renewable
39:06
and nuclear channel. Then demand opens up for nuclear and they have a sort
39:09
of health derivative. So it's very well sewn up, and it'd be very
39:13
interesting to see what the Health Service does on the cancer diagnostics and testing and
39:20
indeed treatments as a result of this. Thank you, Thank you, Charles
39:24
Vanessa. Let's come back to you and what you were talking abo at the
39:28
beginning about Lebanon and the issue with Israel. Let's get some more detail on
39:34
this. Yeah, well, I think this is a dangerous part of what
39:40
is happening in Lebanon right now, which of course is directly related to what
39:45
is happening in Gaza. Bolar is fighting the Israeli forces in the north of
39:51
the occupied territories to detract or to not allow the full force of the Israeli
39:58
military to be used against Gaza, and of course pre them. The diplomatic
40:02
solution is an end of the Zionist war against Garza or genocide in Gaza.
40:09
Now, what's interesting is that this article in Political came out pretty much at
40:15
the same time or just after the telegraph US to Hesbla, don't count on
40:22
us to stop an Israeli attack. Well, that can be translated as we
40:27
endorse an Israeli attack inside the territory of Lebanon. US officials claiming to prevent
40:36
a bigger Middle East war are leading an unusual or giving career. I can't
40:40
read that warning to Hasbella. Don't assume that Washington can stop Israel from attacking
40:47
you again, that this is all in my opinion, to basically put pressure
40:52
on hez Billa to end the conflict with the Israeli forces in the northern occupied
40:59
territory is But if we then look at what they say at the end,
41:04
it's not clear exactly what options Israel is considering against has Bulal, which is
41:08
not only heavily on but also wields political influence in Lebanon. This is an
41:13
important point to make because of course the UK and the US and I believe
41:17
Canada has designated heads Blara terrorist organization when of course they are part of the
41:24
political system in Lebanon. Sorry, Can I just go back to that for
41:29
one second? Okay, yes, sorry, sorry mate? Yeah. Joint
41:35
Chiefs Chair General C Q. Brown has also had a warning for Israel if
41:40
a broader conflict erupts for in Israel, and it may be more difficult for
41:45
the US to help defend Israel compared with the April thirteenth missile verige from Iran.
41:51
That's because hes Blara is geographically closer than Iran, but it's actually bordering
41:55
the occupied territories and therefore an attack requires a much short a response term.
42:00
And Hasbla also has considerably more rockets and more sophisticated rockets than Hamas. And
42:07
of course we know that the IOF has so far failed to even dent the
42:14
Hamas operations in Gaza. So then if we look at the fact that also
42:20
various resistance factions in the region, including Iraqi leaders about to support host Bloro
42:25
for war is waged against Lebanon. Iraqiya i'll Hauk leader shaik Ka Kazzali threatened
42:34
the US and stated that if they support Israel's attack on Lebanon, then all
42:38
US interests in Iraq and the region will be a target. Similarly, a
42:42
spokesman of the Iraqi resistance factions responsible for firing during sports Israel announce that they
42:49
are today operating from Afar. If a war happens in Lebanon, they will
42:52
go to Lebanon and use all available weapons at their disposal. And as I've
42:57
mentioned before, Syria is currently supplying weapons to the resistance actions in the region,
43:04
will of course then also be drawn directly into the conflict. Now,
43:08
these were two reports, one from the Classified UK and one from Hretz back
43:14
in late October twenty twenty three, so only a few weeks after the October
43:19
seven US military is secretly supplying weapons for Israel using the UK based on Cypress.
43:24
Just to give some context there, Cyprus gained its independence from Britain in
43:30
nineteen sixty. Britain retained control of what it calls its sovereign Bases two hundred
43:37
and fifty six square kilometers. It's one of its largest military bases outside the
43:44
UK. Cypress also has an Operational Support Unit which provides support to the British
43:51
forces to protect UK strategic interest. And so basically, let's come back to
43:59
this, the US moving arms in Israel from around Europe using Britain's air base
44:05
on Cyprus, but the Ministry of Defense refuses to tell declassified what American aircraft
44:10
are flying or what weapons are on board. And at the same time,
44:15
Harez was also pointing out that Cyprus was being used as a launchpad for weapons
44:21
and forces to be brought into not only Israel, but as it states,
44:27
Lebanon has also seen the arrival of special flights from the US, British,
44:31
Canadian, German, Spanish, Dutch, and Italian air forces, so a
44:36
fair amount of native member states in there. Some of these landed at a
44:39
Lebanese Army Special Forces based near Tripoli, which is in the north of Lebanon,
44:45
in an apparent attempt to prepare a forward operating base in case a mass
44:49
rescue of their citizens from Lebanon is required due to a full blown war between
44:54
Israel and Hezblac. Now bear in mind this was back in early November.
45:00
Choice of location also indicates an assessment that in such a war, Bayertz International
45:05
Airport will not be used. Does that seem a little bit prescient to you?
45:08
So let's have a look at where this forward base is being established.
45:13
Is in the north, in Tripoli, and we know from previous news reports
45:16
and research by myself particularly that British intelligence have been operating heavily and Tripoli and
45:23
setting up units there, establishing infiltration into Lebanese security, intelligence and military,
45:31
but particularly in Tripoli. So is this a forward base on the basis that
45:37
if a war kicks off between Israel and Hezbala, then NATO gets involved.
45:44
This again was from Almyadin. A long history of military cooperation between Cypress and
45:49
Israel. It's reported regionally that Mossad has very close relations with Cypress intelligence.
45:55
Why is this all kicking off now? Because said Nasralla, the general or
46:00
secretary general of Hezbollah has actually worn Cypress, specifically that opening its airports and
46:07
bases to the enemy Israel to yet Lebanon's means that it has become part of
46:16
the war and essentially becomes a target for the resistance actions. Now in May
46:22
twenty twenty three and May and June twenty twenty three, there were joint Israeli
46:28
Cypriot military jills. Actually, what do I say staging an invasion of Lebanon.
46:37
So Cyprus Cypress did allow its territory, not only the sovereign basis which
46:42
can be claimed to be British, but it did use its own territory external
46:47
to those bases. In response to the warning Cypriot President Nichols Crystal duluids so
46:55
sorry, I've just murdered that said on ex Cypress does not participate and conflicts
47:00
and this part of the solution, not part of the problem. But at
47:05
the same time Israel was eyeing a port in Cyprus. Back in March,
47:08
israel I am disclosed Israel's plan to purchase support in Cypress under the pretext of
47:14
establishing an alternative supply route in case the Islamic resistance in Lebanon targets the port
47:21
of Haifa. So we are looking now at a potential of real escalation between
47:28
NATO member states and the regional resistance in my opinion, Yes, okay,
47:35
thank you. Now let's move on to Ukraine. And on Monday, Brian
47:38
just briefly mentioned the attack in Sevastopoul. But let's have a look at this
47:44
a little bit more detail. Now, this is the Telegraphs coverage of a
47:46
crime in some bit are struck by deadly shrapnel. We'll look at the video
47:51
clip in a second, and Vanessma viill of a comment to make about whether
47:53
it's or maybe Charles, about whether it's shrapnel or not. This was CNN's
47:59
coverage at least five dead after missile fragments scattered over beachcores in Russian occupied Crimea.
48:06
So let's just have a look at Sorry, I do apologize, I've
48:09
a bit trigger happy there with my finger. Let's have Yeah, we're having
48:16
trouble today. Let's go back one and try again. Okay, you will
48:21
see these things coming down, and Charles, I don't know that that looks
48:24
more like just shrapnel. That looks like explosions taking place. It does absolutely
48:32
Mike, Yeah, it's very hard to believe that it would be fragments.
48:38
I mean, suppose is a detonation in sort of well, I mean,
48:45
it's hard to see how that could be a detonation that would result in fragments
48:49
landing exactly like that. So I don't see that's credible at all. Thank
48:54
you. So basically this looks like a cluster munition that's been used. But
48:59
let's bring Matthew Miller on from the State Department. You've seen this a couple
49:01
of times already, so apologies for that. I'll just tell you what the
49:06
ambassador said when she met with the Russian Foreign Ministry, and that is,
49:07
of course that we lament any civilian loss of life in this war. Yet,
49:14
well we believe him there, don't we. We provide weapons to Ukraine,
49:17
he said, so it can defend its sovereign territory against armed aggression.
49:22
He went on to say that includes in Crimea, which of course is part
49:24
of Ukraine, and Russia should stop. Russia could stop this war today and
49:30
end the suffering caused by the war in Russia about the war Russia launched today,
49:34
if it would stop its occupation of sovereign Ukrainian territory and stop launching attacks
49:39
on civilians. He went on to say, I don't have any assessment of
49:43
the underlying attack, including who was responsible for it, but I will say
49:46
you've seen Russia make ridiculous claims about responsibility in the past. It's not unusual
49:52
for the government of Moscow to make ridiculous, hyperbolic claims about responsibility that aren't
49:57
born out by any fact. The hypocasi see here is off the charts.
50:01
But anyway, of course, what he's referring to Russia absolutely clear that that
50:06
these weapons could not have been fired without US help. They are US supplied
50:12
weapons, they are cluster munitions. Now in Tas they quote the EU as
50:17
saying pretty much the same thing. They're saying that there's zero the EU claiming
50:22
that the zero credibility that the US or was involved in targeting this. The
50:29
Russians themselves say the use the use of US supplied at a c M S
50:35
missiles will be discussed at the next regular briefing on Ukraine, which will be
50:40
held in July, as we do every month. But vastly in Besnia ne
50:45
Benzia here saying you know, they are absolutely claiming that this These are US
50:50
supplied and therefore US targeted weapons systems. So this is from Italy particular report
51:00
and we'll do a quick translation on what it says here. So the headline
51:02
is Russian attribution. Sorry, Russian attrition continues. Italy is right to talk
51:07
about negotiations. But actually in this article it quotes an Italian military expert and
51:15
director of a particular organization that's qualified in these areas. I won't try to
51:21
pronounce the name. I'm sorry, you'll have to look in the article to
51:23
see that. And this person is quoted as saying the use of these weapons
51:29
involves extensive US technical support. They're used with himar's launchers and the attack is
51:34
brought forward by a drone flying over the Black Sea. Drones take off from
51:37
the Sicilian base at Sigonella and act as scouts and missile guidance. And he
51:44
went on to say the US may have redeployed them from Greece. However,
51:46
their main headquarters is in Italy and Sigonella. Their long range strategic reconnaissance drones
51:52
called Global Hawk. So that's what's in the Italian media. In the meantime.
51:58
Here is the United nations position on this from the UN Human Rights Office,
52:04
Elizabeth Throstle here saying well, cluster munitions are not se prohibited prohibited under
52:08
international humanitarian law. It is the consistent position of the UN Human Rights Office
52:14
that their use in populated areas is incompatible with fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.
52:20
And I'm going to say thanks to Charles for this, because he sent
52:23
me through this from the UK Manual on National Rules of Engagement, and it
52:28
quotes here calling for fire support. UK personnel engaged in multinational operations are able
52:32
to continue to call for fire support using current procedures, even knowing that support
52:37
may come from non state parties in the form of cluster munitions. So that's
52:42
that. And then from CSIS, the Center for Strategic and International Studies making
52:46
the point that the Cluster Munitions Agreements are signed by one hundred and twenty three
52:52
nations, came into effect in twenty ten, but that Russia, Ukraine,
52:57
and the United States have not signed the convention and so perhaps that explains why
53:01
the Department of Defense Law of War Manual that we talked about last week does
53:06
authorize the use of cluster munitions, amongst other things now political here reporting that
53:12
France has deepened ties military ties with Germany and Poland. So another trilateral defense
53:17
agreement done, this time between France, Germany and Poland. Now, of
53:21
course the problem here is that there's a snap election be called in France,
53:24
so we see how that stands up following that. But this follows on from
53:30
the report we did a couple of weeks ago on military mobility and PESCO and
53:34
so on, and the fact that a whole raft of European countries twenty two
53:39
EU member states have signed the agreement on military mobility. And this is all
53:44
about getting effectively US and British arms and personnel from the west coast of Europe
53:51
to the east coast in order to do battle with Russia. I say that
53:55
with tongue in cheek, because they'll get annihilated if they try it. Anyway.
54:00
In the meantime, the wonderful image to Bretton Gordon has been up to
54:04
his old tricks again. His headline in the Telegraph once again, We're getting
54:07
the Telegraph in as many times as possible. Today Puttin's nuclear arsenal is crumbling.
54:13
Ukraine can take it out for good, is what He's claiming, so
54:16
therefore we don't need to worry. We can just go ahead and use nuclear
54:20
weapons against Russia if we choose to do so. But in the meantime,
54:24
watched Russia's response to this. Well, it is refute revising its nuclear doctrine
54:30
according to Dimitri Pskov here, as reported by Reuters. So this an extremely
54:36
dangerous situation. The fact is, this is not an issue which is an
54:42
election issue as far as I can see at this point, aside from the
54:45
comments that Faraj Mah have made a few days ago. I think this needs
54:50
to be an issue for the election, and so I think everybody needs to
54:54
be getting out there and making it an issue for the election. And that's
54:59
what I would courage. Okay, where does that take us then, Africa?
55:04
Charles, Yeah it does, Mike, Yeah, thanks very much.
55:08
We'll just play a video now while I speak over the top of it.
55:12
This is from Nairobi, scenes of the last sort of sorry, scenes from
55:19
the last twenty four hours or so in which there's been no widespread sort of
55:25
thank you, rioting, looting, call it what you will, in government
55:30
buildings and essentially this is shown by Al Jazeera, but it's in response to
55:36
a couple of very controversial pieces of legislation. Now, whilst this focus obviously
55:42
is on what's happened in the Parliament in Kenya, the lessons really are to
55:46
be drawn for everybody because it just shows how precarious in a way we all
55:52
are when sort of legislation like this to put forward. That particularly was concerning
55:58
the Finance Bill. And we'll just have a look at what the government put
56:02
out in terms of debt management for the year. So the Treasury and Economic
56:07
Planning Group put out their medium term debt strategy and they absolutely spelled it out.
56:14
To be fair to them, the government will continue implementing growth responsive fiscal
56:17
consolidation through broadening of tax revenue base and rationalization of expenditures in order to reduce
56:23
the fiscal deficits. It's just worth drawing out there. The public debt they
56:28
say is at sixty eight point two percent of GDP, whereas at the UK.
56:31
In the UK, at the the latest statistics from the unsay that we're
56:35
at ninety eight point three. But nonetheless, the other part of legislation that
56:42
is in effect much more controversial is the Land Law Amendment Bill, or at
56:46
least in some respect which I'll just explain the second, and in particular here
56:51
we see that this clause states that the owner of any freehold land or properties
56:57
situated within the boundaries of any urban area or city shall pay an annual land
57:01
levy equivalent to land rent charged on a comparable leasehold land or property of the
57:06
same size in the same zone. So, obviously that slightly complicated way of
57:10
saying that it doesn't matter whether you were previously a freeholder to all intense purposes,
57:15
you are now a leaseholder. And of course that could be something that
57:22
is taken on by any other administration anywhere in the world. Concurrent with this
57:27
is a memorandum from the United States designating Kenya as a major non NATO alli
57:32
of which there are eighteen existing ones. But you might be interested to know
57:37
what privileges of such an appointment are, particularly in light of the situation not
57:43
just in the Middle East, but also with Ukraine and Russia, and indeed
57:46
the sort of worldwide financial situation, so that you're eligible for LANs of material
57:52
supplies or equipment for cooperative research, development, testing, or evaluation purposes.
57:58
Critically as a location for the US owned war reserve stockpiles, to be placed
58:01
on your territory outside of US military facilities. Also, you're eligible to enter
58:07
into an MoU or formal agreement for the purpose of conducting cooperative research and development
58:14
projects on defense equipment and munitions. And again, just following Mike's segment,
58:20
you're eligible for consideration to purchase depleted uranium ammunition. So these might seem slightly
58:28
disconnected, but in effect we've got protests generated by the increase of a number
58:34
of taxes, some of which had been scrapped even prior to it going to
58:38
the House for the final time, and it now requires presidential assent. But
58:42
that's been enough to tip people into this sort of behavior. Exactly how it's
58:46
been incited orchestrated doesn't really yet seem clear, but police are reckoned to have
58:51
shot dead a number of people through the day and indeed through last night,
58:55
so appalling scenes there. But the the underlying point, of course is that
59:01
the economic vulnerability of that country and that region, and in particular that the
59:07
strategic significance, the political and military significance of East Africa and the Horn of
59:14
Africa, and the interest from both Russia and China, and the United States
59:16
feeling like it needs to make a countermeasure in order to assert both military and
59:22
economic control. Is something that we'll have to keep a very close eye on.
59:25
Yes, indeed, Okay, thank you, Charles, and we're just
59:29
going to end with this piece of news. So, first of all,
59:32
this is the National Crime Agency press release on the so called Leader of Lockbit,
59:38
which is a cybercrime gang. Cybercrime gang, they run these sort of
59:46
ransomware attacks on various organizations we've been talking about over the last couple of weeks,
59:52
and well why am I mentioning this. Well, they are claiming on
59:54
their channels that they have managed to hack the Federal Reserve Bank, that they
1:00:00
have obtained thirty three terabytes of data from the Federal Reserve Bank, and that
1:00:04
they're going to publish it unless the Federal Reserve pays up in bitcoin. So
1:00:09
we'll be watching this story as it develops and see whether they do actually publish
1:00:14
this data. But once again, we have the biggest organizations on the planet
1:00:21
absolutely unable to protect themselves from this type of activity. Of course, the
1:00:25
National Crime Agency attempting to draw connections between these guys and the Russian government and
1:00:35
putin in particular, because we shouldn't miss the type of opportunity to draw these
1:00:38
types of connections and make sure that Putin is getting the blame for everything.
1:00:43
But nonetheless, we will watch this story and if that data is published,
1:00:47
we'll let you know, but we'll leave it there for today. I'm going
1:00:51
to say thank you very much to Vanessa and Charles for joining us today and
1:00:54
everybody that's watched. Stick around a few UK column member for some extra in
1:01:00
a couple of minutes. But if you're not a member and you'd like to
1:01:01
watch extra, please join us. We'll see you later about
