Good afternoon. It's just gone 1:00 on Wednesday
the 17th of September 2025. Welcome to UK column News.
I'm your host, Charles Mallett, and I'm joined in the studio
today by Mike Robinson. Welcome to the programme, Mike.
Thank you, Charles. We have Vanessa Beeley joining
via Livelink from Lebanon and Sandy Adams also on Livelink
from Somerset. Now in today's programme, we're
going to be looking at the latest situation in Gaza as it
continues to deteriorate. Unfortunately.
We are going to explore the World Social Summit in Doha as
well as a closer look at the, well, at least what's happening
concerning investigatory powers in the United Kingdom, as well
as recent developments on the war narrative.
Vanessa's going to be looking at some actions being taken for the
benefit of the people of Palestine, or at least so it
would be hoped. And then we're going to look at
latest in the absurdity of the carbon capture scheme as well as
the further deployment of AI by the NHS.
But we're going to start with the inward state visit of Donald
Trump and indeed what he may have brought with him to the UK.
So we're going to go to Mike to consider what might be about to
happen. Well, indeed.
So yes, Donald Trump has arrived in the UK for the second state
visit. This is the first time any world
leader has been invited for a second state visit, which
appeals to Trump's ego, as we can hear now.
Well, my relationship is very good with the UK and Charles, as
you know, who's now King is my friend and it's the first time
this has ever happened where somebody was honoured twice, so
it's a great honour. And this was at Windsor.
They've never used Windsor Castle for this before.
And they? Used fucking their palace and I
don't want to say 1's better. Than the other, but they say
Windsor Castle is the ultimate right, So it's going to be nice,
but basically I'm there also on grave.
They, they want to see if they can refine the great deal a
little bit. We've made a deal and it's a
great deal. And I'm I'm into helping them.
Our country is doing very well. We've never done this well.
We're making, we're having trillions of dollars coming
because of the tariffs and they. 'D like to see if they could get
a little bit better deal, so we'll talk to them.
But primarily it's to be with Prince Charles and Camilla.
He's they're friends of mine for a long time, long before he was
king, and it's an honour to have this thing.
And you know, he's, I think he represents the country so well.
I've watched. He's such an elegant gentleman
and he represents the country so well.
Brilliant, eh? Yeah, someone's been
misinforming him. If he thinks it's the first
state visit to Winter Castle, that's absolutely not the case,
but if it makes him feel better then that'll be all.
Well anyway, on the trade deal which he mentioned in passing
there, the Starmer regime has announced the first ever UKUS
tech agreement which will quotes bring new healthcare
breakthroughs, clean home grown energy and more investment into
the local communities and businesses in Britain and the
United States. Now, Sandy's going to be talking
more about AI and the NHS later, but this comes as America's top
technology in AI firms. And I say that dripping with
sarcasm, like Microsoft, NVIDIA, Google, Open AI and Core Weave
commit to a combined £31 billion to boost the U KS AI
infrastructure and cutting edge tech, says the government.
From data centres to computer chips, the processing power
behind AI. Today's commitments, they say
bills on the £44 billion investment of the U KS AI tech
sector under this government. That's their words.
Now on screen you see the statement from Open AI with the
lovely graphic there. Now, according to them, this
will help power the U KS future economy, boost its global
competitiveness and deliver on the country's national AI
opportunities action plan. And they say that boosting the
UK status as an AI maker, NVIDIA will join forces with companies
across the UK to deploy 120,000 advanced GPUs.
That's graphics processing units across the UK representing its
biggest ever roll out in Europe to date.
And they said this infrastructure is the building
block of AI technology able to carry out a huge number of
calculations in a split second. So we should all be highly
impressed by that. Again, the questions need to be
asked, where's the energy going to come from?
Where's the cooling water going to come from?
Well, under this partnership, let's just bring this on screen
because the UK and the United States will put joint resources
and expertise into making emerging technologies a shared
success for the British and American people, apparently.
So millions of patients could receive life saving treatment
faster. More on that later.
And they say that families could get access to cleaner, more
reliable energy thanks to a civil nuclear deal.
Maybe, perhaps, but perhaps not. They say that local communities
and businesses will see greater opportunities through roll out
of AI infrastructure, creating jobs and driving growth.
Now one of the companies that's behind all this is this 1 N
scale. Now this is apparently a British
company based in London, but it seems to be delivering GPU's to
the Middle East and North Africa is is one of its main areas of
extra of sort of interest. And I'm not sure whether that
includes Israel or not. I haven't seen any particular
evidence for that. But that's just by the way.
But they are also involved in producing this, which is open
eye eye to build its first European data centre in Norway
with partners. And this is also being called
Stargate. So Stargate, Stargate Norway,
Sorry. So it seems to be a process
that's being rolled out just about everywhere, Charles, at
the moment. So my question is, what is the
destination for this? So let's try to try to imagine
our future here a little bit. So robotics and AI will provide
the labour and the production. And that's mainly because of
course, our demographics are falling, the young, we're not
producing any babies anymore. So we're going to have to fill
that gap with robotics and AI and therefore us humans will be
reduced to consumption machines. Now, how are we going to earn a
living? Well, we're not because we're
going to live off universal basic income and digital ID and
CBDC is going to be required. So there we go.
That is pretty much, I believe, where we are going to end up if
we continue down this path. Yeah.
And I think it seems likely we will.
I, I think that's a prediction that people should absolutely
bear in mind. And you know, we talk about AI
opportunities. It's very hard to see how they,
they are opportunities for anyone other than the companies
that are rolling this stuff out and, and hoovering up enormous
amounts of taxpayer money. Now, on a, on a related note,
we're going to go to Sandy now. Doha, of course, has been in the
news for various reasons recently, but you're going to be
talking about something else, the social summit.
Yes, the social summit, it's the, the World social Summit by
obviously it's the, the, the United Nations and the World
Economic Forum are getting together and it's the second
summit for social development. And that the first one was held
in Copenhagen in 1993. I mean the year after the, the,
the Earth Summit. So they haven't had one of these
summit for social development for a long, long time.
So it's, it's, it's quite an interesting point.
I we have got a video, just a video to to explain what it's
about. In 1995 history was made.
The World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen united
world leaders around a ground breaking commitment to put
people at the centre of development.
They pledged to eradicate poverty, promote social
integration and achieve full and productive employment for all.
Over the years, this commitment transformed into action.
The Millennium Development Goals set a global agenda for poverty
eradication, health and education.
The Sustainable Development Goals envisioned a just and
sustainable world. The Pact for the Future
reaffirmed global solidarity for current and future generations.
In three decades, progress has been remarkable.
Extreme poverty has been reduced by half.
Digital transformation has revolutionised access to
services, empowering millions and fostering inclusion.
More children, especially girls, are in school.
Breakthroughs in global health have increased life expectancy
and tackle diseases like HIV, AIDS.
But challenges remain. Inequalities in income,
education, health and opportunity persist.
A digital divide excludes millions.
People living in vulnerable situations such as older
persons, indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities face
barriers. As we approach the Second World
Summit for Social Development in 2025, the world must renew its
commitment to inclusive social development.
Together, we can achieve equal opportunities for all resilient
and sustainable societies. A truly inclusive world where
everyone is included. This will bring our journey
onwards towards the Second World Summit for Social Development in
Qatar. Let's work together for
inclusion, equality, and people. Thank you.
I mean, you, you, this, this, that, that film you, you saw
there was 10 years before the Sustainable Development Goals
were announced in 2015. But they were, they were, they
were exactly the same. And you know, obviously in 2000
we had the Millennium Development Goals.
They failed. They they, they were supposed to
be tackling poverty, health and education.
In 2015, obviously, they they launched the goals, the 17
goals, which laid out a road map for a more sustainable and,
well, they say, a more sustainable and equitable
future. It's actually the road map for
the 4th Industrial Revolution. And in 2021, our Common agenda
called for a renewed inclusive multilateralism.
And in 2024, the Pact of the Future reaffirmed solidarity
across generations so that that first summit was pretty much,
you know, the same as as as we've got now, but kind of, you
know, just just re rehashed. So they they say that the
challenges still remain. And so the road to Doha is, is
really a road map really for, for the future.
And what they're doing is they're, they're looking at a
progression of the sustainable development goals.
And yeah, 30 years on, you know, you, you've still got the same
challenges. It's, it's, it, it hasn't
changed because 30 years on, we're still looking at the same
development goals and they are falling behind in these goals.
You know, you've got, you've got the, the, the 10 commitments
that they, that they said they, they would achieve.
And those commitments have not been achieved.
They're still, it's still work in progress.
So what we can see from from from this is that the, the 2025
progress assessment reveals that the world remains far off track
from achieving these goals. So I think, you know, we we'll
be looking at that a bit later. So at the moment, there's
another, there's another one of these conferences going on and
it's a sustainable development impact meetings, which are
pretty much this, you know, it's, it's all about human
computation. It's about what we what we're
going to be dealing with in the future and how we're going, how
they think we're going to live. So you know, the key themes
accelerating social progress, climate and nature with
crossover into social justice and economic transitions,
tackling inequality and promoting inclusive growth.
And Deloitte, a part of this of of this, you know, Deloitte are,
are saying they're committed to helping create better futures by
making an impact that matters. That's why we're taking to the
world stage across the United Nations General Assembly week,
because it's actually the United Nations General Assembly as
well. The climate week, which is which
is, which is actually next week. It's the 22nd to the 20 7th in
in New York City. So the World Economic Forum
Sustainable development impact meetings are to help build a
sustainable, equitable and prosperous future for all.
During this week of thoughtful conversations and strategic
action, we're convening some of the world's most powerful
business leaders and policy makers to help build shared
solutions that will make a lasting impact.
So the key themes are accelerating social progress.
We're looking at social contracts here.
I mean we but they beat around the Bush.
They're looking at impact investing and Deloitte's as we
know are all bound up with impact investing.
They're the ones that are working with the Royal
Foundation with Kate Middleton looking at impact investing and
data mining the under fives. So this is what we're looking at
and they they skirt around it. They don't actually say what
they're doing. Climate, nature with crossover
into social justice, all that stuff.
And so basically we're, we're looking at the now, yeah, the,
the people who attend, the stakeholders from governments,
policy makers, business and corporate leaders, civil
society, NGOs, you've got young, young people's groups and
financiers. They're all going to be there
just literally working out how they can extract as much data
from us as they can now looking at the Sustainable Development
Goals. They are failing.
And I don't think they were ever meant to succeed need, because
they don't care whether they succeed or not, to be honest.
Uh, all they want is is to be able to get the, the human
computation. So, um in 2025.
The progress assessment reveals that the world remains far off
track from achieving the 20-30 check goals, the 2015 baseline
at the most recent years, supplemented by agency analysis.
Among these, only 35% show adequate progress, only 18% are
on track, and 17% are making moderate progress.
In contrast, 48% of targets show insufficient progress, including
31% with only marginal gains and 17% with no progress at all.
So 18% of the targets have regressed below 2015 base
levels. So it's so it's, it's not, it's
not working anyway. But they still continue to have
these conferences in big hotels and just push it and just just
tell us that they're working hard at, at saving the planet.
So, you know, we're looking at these these goals end poverty.
Poverty is actually worse. If you look at if you look at
the graphs, poverty, you know, is, is is is declining.
And The thing is that digital poverty, they've they've
invented new poverty, digital poverty, fuel poverty.
You know, I can't even afford to boil the kettle poverty.
So there's zero hunger. That's not going well.
We've got more food banks and in this in this country, we've got
the the trust will trust saying that there's there's more food
banks being used by the UK's people good health that's
declining global health management.
Most, most of us, you know, can't get a doctor's appointment
Even so quality education, dumbing down, nobody's learning
anything. So, you know, they're not
achieving their goals in schools.
And peace and justice is, is not working either because we've got
the more corruption. So, so there we have it.
It's not working. But they aren't interested in
achieving the goals, I don't think.
Thank you. Sandy, thank you very much
indeed. Now onto something different.
Yesterday the Investigatory Powers Commission Commissioner's
Office, the IPCO, announced that it had been directed by by the
Prime Minister to investigate a series of apparent abuses of the
judicial system, most notably by the Security Service MI 5.
Now the popular narrative as delivered by the BBC is
inextricably linked with this case.
And the story goes back some years concerning the serious
abuse of a woman by a man who was alleged to be being used by
MI 5 as a covert human intelligence source.
And three of the many issues whether such abuse did actually
take place, and therefore whether MI 5 failed by extension
to protect this woman. Whether MI 5 lied to the courts
about their relationship with the man in question, referred to
as Agent X, and indeed whether the Security Service lies to the
BBC. Now it's notable in this BBC
article that that they are able to talk to MI 5 about this in
the 1st place. Of course UK column I dare say
would not have the same success were we to try.
This is written by Daniel Simone and he writes that in fact MI 5
had disclosed the man's status in phone calls to me as it tried
to persuade me not to investigate the man known
publicly only as Agent X. So the BBC really appeared to be
more concerned about the lies told to them rather than the
other particulars, which of course, bearing in mind
truthfulness, is somewhat ironic. 1 might consider.
Now at the heart of this is the policy of the intelligence
services to neither confirm nor deny whether or not a particular
situation is the case. And I think one must ask really
whether this sort of situation should be surprising when one
considers the many pieces of legislation which are enabling
covert and secret activity to be taken, indeed including criminal
activity. We've got the Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Act 2000, Investigatory Powers Act 2016,
Investigatory Powers Amendment Act 2024, and of course the
Covert Human Intelligence Sources Act 2021 as well.
They are, of course, always cloaked in the suggestion that
they are necessary for your safety and of course that
they're being managed and regulated appropriately and
responsibly. Now there is a reminder, or at
least I'm going to issue a reminder from the Covert Human
Intelligence Sources Act 2021, that a criminal conduct
authorization is an authorization for criminal
conduct in the course of or otherwise in connection with the
conduct of a covert human intelligence source.
And I know Mike has done so recently, but I'm going to read
the full list of agencies which may break the law with impunity
subject satisfying the conditions.
And they are as written down in the legislation, any police
force, the National Crime Agency, the Serious Fraud
Office, the intelligence services, the Armed forces, Her
Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the Department of Health and
Social Care, the Home Office, the Ministry of Justice, the
Competition and Markets Authority, the Environment
Agency, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Food Standards
Agency, the Gambling Commission. So it is quite staggering really
that that those. Privileges, one might call them,
are afforded to all of those organisations and the Prime
Minister's intervention in this particular situation may be
regarded as superfluous in that it adds nothing to what the
courts had said in both the beginning and end of July of
this year, which was that further investigation is
required and this is to be done by the IPC, as I mentioned.
Now the overall investigation is held by the Investigatory Powers
Tribunal and on the 30th of July, over three years after
proceedings began, wrote that Beth, the claimant here.
Respondent. Sorry, wrong Claimant Beth was
in a relationship with X for a number of years and claims that
he was seriously abusive to her. Beth says that X was a covert
human intelligence source who was working for MI 5.
The Tribunal has not yet considered or determined the
substantive merits of claim. So the point here appears to be
that it's all being made to look like there's going to be
increased regulation of agencies like MI 5, whilst at the same
time paving the way for enhanced surveillance of the population
under the banner again of security.
And I'd just like to point out that Brian Gerrish wrote about
exactly this a decade ago on the UK column website and I quote
today. Britain is the most spied upon
country in the world with millions of CCTV cameras and
increasingly sophisticated facial tracking and recognition
software. And of course, they'll be able
to linked to that in the show notes.
And the last thing I'd like to point out is that the
investigatory Powers commissioner is, of course, none
other than Brian Leveson, man who ran the inquiry which set
the ball rolling for the situation that Brian Gerrish has
just described, or at least described A decade ago.
And most recently, the same man whose report on the judiciary
said, among other things, that juries should be done away with
because they are too time consuming.
Now that moves us on to Vanessa and Vanessa to go some way to
describing what's been happening recently in Gaza.
Yeah. As you mentioned, Charles,
things have deteriorated beyond what we thought was where it
couldn't deteriorate any further previously.
This short video that I'll show just to begin my report of
hundreds of thousands of people are being forced out of Gaza
City, which is in central Gaza, into areas in the South that are
effectively becoming kill pens for the Zionists.
This was the bombing of a truck that was evacuating a whole
family. I apologise for the distressing
video. So while an entire family was
wiped out in in that one bombing and while many others are being
slaughtered on their way to try and evacuate to where there is
effectively no safety at all in Gaza.
This is Chancellor Frederick Mertz, who if you remember, said
that Israel was doing our dirty work, meaning the EU, when they
attacked Iran. Here he is speaking with great
emotion at the reopening of a synagogue in Munich.
I'm for niecht had a passivant of unta once mansion before

Dershua in aynim in a displaced persons camp by mansion on the

Of the Lane Juden Neimod. Gothen, Harper.
He goes on to say that the government will wage war against
anti Semitism, which means against protesters, against the
genocide that Zionists are committing in Gaza and in the
occupied territories at the same time.
Around 2 days ago this report appeared in our Dutch media
Devox Grant. This is the English version.
What the wounds are telling us. It's a very good investigative
report into the deliberate sniping by the IOF and drone
snipers of children. So let's just have a look at one
child. Mira, aged 4, was shot in the
head. There are multiple reports of
this kind of killing in the Box Grant article and I recommend
that everybody reads it in full. Basically, the findings of the
article were that 114 children were found with similar wounds
with bullets in various areas of their body that eventually
killed them. Eyewitnesses told the doctors
that the bullet came from the iOS snipers or drones.
According to the former commander of Dutch land forces,
the chance that these were accidental hits is negligible
since the doctors describe more than 100 cases. 9 doctors
testified that the wounds had probably been caused by the
controversial fragmentation weapons, which I'll come on to
in the next slide. And of course, the IOF is
denying everything, despite there being a history of Amnesty
International and Human Rights Watch reports on the use of
fragmentation weapons and sniping of children.
And if we look, this is the effect of one of the
fragmentation weapons. So when the bullet or the
missile explodes, it releases hundreds if not thousands of
tiny pallets of tungsten which enter the body.
Sometimes the children are sent home because the wound is not
immediately visible. And yet those tiny pallets enter
the organs and it turns out that they've been struck by fragments
of metal shaped like cubes or cylinders.
These pieces are so small, just a few millimetres, that doctors
sometimes can't even find an entry or exit wound.
But inside the body, they cause what doctors describe as
horrific damage. Organs are pierced, nerves and
blood vessels are hit. As a result, patients suffer
fatal internal bleeding or are forced to undergo amputation.
This is another child from the article.
This is according to Doctor Pelmuta.
The fragments are made of tungsten.
The girl was hit by the metal fragments.
Unfortunately, they entered through her nasal cavity and
into her brain and killed her. They now today we also have to
remember 17th of September is the one year after the terrorist
pager attack in Lebanon. This is just one of the victims.
This is Hussein Danny, aged 12. I used to run and go to school,
now I just go to Beirut for treatment.
More than 3000 people in Lebanon were injured by the Patriot
attack. Many mutilated, lost their eyes,
their hands, had their faces laced with scars that will haunt
them for the rest of their life. And I wanted to basically finish
with this video from two of the NHS, that doctors in the UK that
are being persecuted by the Zionist movement in the UK
through the NHS itself, through the bodies that govern the NHS.
One is Doctor Riani, Rihanna Ali and the other is Doctor Rahman
Al Adwana, who of course I've spoken about previously on UK
column. But just to play what Doctor
Rihanna had to say about what Israel is doing to the
Palestinians. The settlers have done that
since they have poisoned crops, they have booby trapped.
They have poisoned left poisoned food, tinned food.
They've booby trapped toys. They have used quadcopters,
which emit the sound of children trying to lure Palestinians out.
And then as soon as they come out to look for the crying
child, they kill them. OK.
So I think I'm perfectly correct to say that Israelis are a
different, almost a different breed, OK?
They're nowhere else, I believe, on this planet will you find a
society that is so psychopathic, OK.
And just because you find a few exceptions, there is something
wrong with Israeli society. And I think the poll after poll
supports my view. You know, 82% of Israeli Jews.
That's a poll from only a couple of weeks ago, two or three weeks
ago, showing that, you know, 82% of Israeli Jews supported the
ethnic cleansing of Gaza. And another reminder that
September the 16th to the 18th, of course, is commemoration of
the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinians, where
Zionists engineered the massacre, the rape and the
slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children in 1982 here
in Lebanon. Thank you very much Vanessa,
very challenging material and of course we do apologise just to
some degree for using such distressing images, although it
is critically important that people are made aware,
especially whilst governments stand idly by.
Now the UK column, as you may know, is funded only by its
members and indeed by donations. And if you would like to be a
part of that and sustaining what it is that we do do, we would be
very, very pleased. And on our front page there is a
big button saying click here, which will articulate the ways
in which you can support what we do.
I'd also like to remind you that our shop has a range of goodies
to be sported at almost all occasions, so please do take a
look there. Now, going out on the Germ
Warfare podcast, tonight is a rerun.
Germ is away at the minute, but we're going to listen again to
Laura Logan and about what happened to journalism.
So please tune in at 7:00. And then tomorrow going out at
1:00 will be a talk that Mike and I gave at the Hope Freedom
event back over the August bank holiday entitled The Editors Law
comes to Britain. But really dealing with a number
of points of legislation that have come out or are coming in
recent years. So please do tune into that
tomorrow at 1:00. Now coming up on the 28th of
September, if you happen to be north or in Scotland or prepared
to travel, then there's an event being organised by Common
Knowledge Edinburgh on Sunday 28th of September.
I will be speaking at it and Diane will also be present.
So please do get along to that and support it if you can.
And then to our UK column on location event in York on
Saturday the 18th of October. We're pleased to announce that
it is sold out, but a reminder that live stream is very much
available for tickets. And also to make it very clear
that if you do buy a ticket for the live stream, you will also
have access to Andy Wakefield's excellent film Protocol 7.
So please, if you can join us on the live stream, you don't need
to watch it on the day. You will have access to it
thereafter. And a reminder to anyone who has
an in person ticket, you will also have access to the live
stream. So I hope that's clear and that
we'll get lots of people signing up for that because it will be a
great day. Now we're going to go to a
narrative that we've treated with a great deal of detail over
the years and months, and it's war and how it's building.
Yes, indeed. So on Monday, NATO announced
that on Saturday at the weekend, a French Rafael fighter jet was
scrambled, one of three deployed to Poland in response to quote
another potential threat from Russian drones.
The response, they say, was fast and the alert was over quickly.
And so that was according to Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
Now 4 Europe, German Euro fighters apparently stand ready
to respond at an air base in the North East of Poland.
And three helicopters from the Czech Republic arrived in Poland
over the weekend. And that's according to this
NATO release. But we of course heard in the
last few days that the UK, Denmark, Spain, Sweden and Italy
have all said they'll provide capabilities for the NATO
operation in Poland as well. The Starmer regime said that
quotes The Typhoons will operate out of RAFRAF Coningsby in
Lincolnshire and are expected to start flying missions over
Poland in the coming days. They'll be supported by RAF
Voyager air to air refuelling aircraft from RAF Bryce Norton.
The commitment follows a meeting of the North Atlantic Council on
Wednesday the 10th of September, where the UK and allies
discussed the situation following Poland's request for
consultations under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty.
Allies expressed full solidarity with Poland.
So this is apparently sorry, they go on to say, in fact, this
new era, era of threat, exemplified by Russia's
intensifying airspace violations, requires a new era
of defence. And this government is
delivering the largest sustained increase in defence spending
since the end of the Cold War. The rhetoric is nonsense, but at
the point, the point here is that they continue to try to
build this narrative of Russian attacks on NATO countries with a
view, well, Article 4 already invoked, but with a view to
invoking Article 5. So where does that take us?
Well, in the meantime, the UK Foreign Office summoned the
Russian ambassador to the UK, Andre Klain yesterday to
complain about alleged Russian drones violating Polish airspace
and TASS here is reporting that quotes On September the 15th,
the ambassador was invited to the Foreign Office where a
formal protest was lodged against him regarding the
presence of drones in Polish airspace.
The British were asked if they had any evidence that the drones
have been launched by the Russian military.
They did not provide any. We also asked them to clarify
the motives for sending drones towards Poland.
Obviously, Russia would not have been interested in this.
On the contrary, the Kiev leadership has many reasons and
opportunities to carry out such a false flag operation.
It's not difficult to list them. No counter arguments have been
presented to us and the embassy claim went on to say we
reiterate that Russia has no interest in escalating tensions
in relations with Poland or NATO.
On the contrary, Kiev and the sponsors who've repeatedly
carried out provocations for this purpose are interested in
further inflating militaristic anti Russian hysteria.
Therefore, it's clear who's at fault.
Well, the article for sorry, the narrative for Article 5
continues to build. Reuters here claims that the
Romanian Defence ministry has said that it scrambled an F16 to
chase a Russian drone that it claimed entered Romanian
airspace from Ukraine. The defence minister said the
F16 pilots came close to taking down the drone as was flying
very low before it left national airspace towards Ukraine.
It flew back towards Ukraine. Charles, I don't know what to
say about that. Didn't come from Russia.
Therefore it's impossible to say.
The problem is, of course, that the whole Russian drones in
Poland fakery continues to fall apart with the news that the
house that was damaged was actually damaged by a Polish
missile fired from an F16. And actually, according to
Polish sources, not mentioned in this article, but those sources
saying that the house had already been damaged by a storm.
But let's not, let's not let any of that get in the way of the
the truth that the government wants us to believe.
Now things are not going so well for NATO here in Europe.
Let's see what we sorry, things may not be going so well here
for for NATO and Europe, but they can at least point to their
continuing expansion in the Pacific as the encirclement of
Russia and the increasing pressure on China continues.
So here's Defence Times reporting that the US Army put
on a display of its Typhoon mid range missile system in Japan a
couple of days ago. Typhoon was featured during the
annual bilateral exercise Resolute Dragon, which started
last week. And that includes more than
19,000 US and Japanese troops participating in an exercise on
maritime defence and literal protection, which is held across
Japan. And that's according to the US
Department of Defence cited by Defence News here.
At the same time, Japan's Air Force is sending a contingent of
4F15 J fighters and sport aircraft on a tour of the US and
Europe quotes to strengthen cooperation with NATO amid
threats from Russia, China and North Korea.
And that's according to Newsweek.
On screen at the moment, Japan views the security of the Euro,
Atlantic and Indo Pacific as indivisible, citing Russia's
full scale invasion of Ukraine, China's attempts to change the
status quo by force in disputed Asian waters, North Korea's
development of nuclear missiles, the deployment of the Japanese
Air Force, Newsweek reports its first mission in Europe and
Canada follows the conclusion of a British aircraft carriers
operations in North East Asia. So the war machine continues to
build. But just to finish this off, in
response to reports of AUS Navy vessel boarding and detaining A
Venezuelan fishing boat, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
denounced the risk of conflict in the raising of the risk and
conflict. And they said recently, in the
name of combating drug trafficking, the US has deployed
forces to the waters of the Caribbean Sea of Venezuela and
claimed to have sunk A Venezuelan vessel, shot dead
soldiers and intercepted and detained A Venezuelan fishing
boat, resulting in continued tensions in the region.
US has moved threaten regional peace and security, severely
infringe upon other countries sovereignty, security and lawful
rights and interests and seriously violate international
law and that was according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
I just wanted very briefly Vanessa, just to get a comment
from you on this because you are aware of what's going on with
with Venezuela. So if you could comment on that
and and also the Chinese statement here.
Well, I think, you know, historically, the war on drugs
has never been anything more than the US basically benefiting
from the drug cartels but then weaponizing them against the
target countries. We've seen it in Venezuela and
of course, we saw it in Syria with President Assad being
called the head of the narco state with the Captagon claims.
Of course, Captagon running is still continuing since the
former government fell, which suggests that it had nothing to
do with President Assad but more to do with the Western terrorist
proxies. OK.
Thank you, Vanessa. Now let's move on then back to
sort of Palestinian related issues.
Yeah, indeed. With Vanessa, I mean, obviously
your earlier segment really describing how little is being
done by the political class who continue to sit on their hands.
But now you're going to tell us a bit more about people who are
in fact getting out and doing something?
Well, sadly the the report is actually more about the
infiltration of pro Palestine movements, particularly in the
West. And this is related very much to
the UK. It's an investigation that was
largely done by Professor David Miller, but I participated in a
Palestine Declassified with Chris Williamson and David
Miller. So this is a concert that's
actually coming up on the 17th of September together for
Palestine. There's a huge array of
musicians and artists, very well known ones that are performing
as they believe to raise funds for Palestine.
But the reality is if we look at the background to the
organisations that that are effectively organising this
event. So if we look at first of all,
choose love, this is just one organisation that I'm going to
focus on today. And here is David talking about
it on the Palestine Declassified report that we did.
Zionist Foundation is called the Jewish Philanthropies and and
others and including including also some British Zionist
foundations who have been giving them money.
And also in there is the Rockefeller Rockefeller Brothers
Fund, which of course is a well known, it says in the film the
CIA pass through. Now what that means, of course,
is that that in the previous decades that what would happen
is that the the the Rockefeller Brothers and the Ford Foundation
and and other big foundations would take money from the CIA
and would pass it on to other organisations.
So it would disguise the role of the CIA and and pushing money
out out to what were effectively CIA assets.
Now that appears to be what's happening with Choose love, and
there are a whole range of other.
Organisations which are funding it, which indicates that there's
there are questions to be asked about its activities.
It's not just about helping refugees or relieving suffering
in in earthquake regions or after disasters.
It's also about. It looks like pursuing the
interests of of powerful actors, including in the national
security state in the US and perhaps even elsewhere.
In fact, Choose Love has multiple funders that are
related to the Zionist movement in the UK and the US.
And in fact, Choose Love celebrated the fall of Syria,
supported the fall of Syria and the rise of Al Qaeda to power in
Syria. In fact they gave 500,000 to the
CI AM I6 incubated White Helmet organisation that we've written
about and covered many times on UK column to investigate the
alleged crimes committed at said NYA prison.
Even the White Helmets now have walked back many of the claims
that they made back in December 2024.
So Choose Love is clearly has a bias towards supporting Israel.
It doesn't allow any support for example of the BDS, the boycott,
Divestment and sanction movement.
And then let's have a look at Together for Palestine, the
actual organisation that was established in May 2025 and is
now running this event. Again, as I said, ostensibly for
Palestine, but let's have a look at the directors of this
organisation, Anna Catherine Nolan and James Sardry, both of
them Co directors and Co founders of the Syria Campaign.
What was the Syria campaign? Syria campaign was the main PR
arm or auxiliary of the White Helmets that promoted regime
change in Syria, claiming to be a human rights advocacy group
but in fact criminalising the Syrian government.
And of course, the White Helmets ran the propaganda reference
chemical weapons that were used to basically in the end
criminalise the Syrian government and allies and all of
these organisations that formed a huge regime change complex,
effectively established and run by the intelligence agencies in
the countries invested in regime change in Syria.
And that includes the UK. And finally, there will be a
link in the show notes to a new article by David Miller that
goes into far greater depth of infiltration, a cardinal
function of the Zionist movement.
But what is worrying is the extent to which the Zionist
movement has, as we've said before, infiltrated special
interest groups, NGOs, soft power within the UK itself and
is now behind the scenes of many of what appear to be pro
Palestine organisations. I'm just going to mention before
we move on, Charles David Miller's also published articles
on this issue at the UK Column as well, so do have a look on
the UK Column website as well as Smith Press.
Yeah, absolutely, Vanessa, thank you very much indeed.
Onto the subject of carbon capture.
Now, it may have escaped your attention that at the beginning
of the month there was a summit in London at the Carbon Capture
Global Summit, and the language is important.
They say they're turbo charging carbon capture and underground
storage and forging global partnerships, and that seems to
be very much what it is about. Here.
We see that one of the main sponsors is none other than
Shell. They claim that they're going to
be increasing the amount of carbon captured by over 100
times the current figure by 2050.
And to achieve this ambitious goal, they have to have a
unified global effort. They transcend borders and the
entire low carbon supply chain and other such language.
Now, this does appear to be all about appearance.
The website is full of sort of lofty aims and promises and all
the rest of it. And how do you want it to
attend? You could have done, say, for
the meagre sum of 3440 lbs and the gala dinner would have been
an additional £400, but you would have seen the awards
ceremony. Now looking at the current
government, the the Labour manifesto from last year spoke
about a 1 billion commitment to accelerate the deployment of
carbon capture, words that might suggest there is something going
on at the minute. So the question is from what
point are we starting now? I submitted a Freedom of
Information request to the Department for Energy Security
and Net Zero to make a few enquiries not just about
progress but also about cost. They replied certainly on the
cost side of things by saying the UK government has committed
21.7 billion to CCUS over the next 25 years and to date they
have spent £630 million on the programme.
Now that's interesting because also the UK CCUS facilities have
not yet stored any carbon dioxide.
Now that is staggering in its own right, I would say.
But just to set it in context, I was just looking around various
sort of government pledges this morning and I see that the
Ministry of Defence is growing about a £250 billion fund to
boost local economies over five years.
And yet here we are not even putting carbon dioxide in the
ground for 630 million. So that's just a a sense of
perspective. Now, also to qualify what it is
we're talking about, we're going to look back to 2016, the Oil
and Gas Authority, which presented their enhanced oil
recovery strategy, uh, an examination, examination of
methods of recovering crude oil. And one such was to use carbon
dioxide, which becomes available from carbon capture and storage.
And if that's confused you, then I should point out that this is
actually the case. It was a technology proposed for
reducing carbon dioxide being suggested as a means for
extracting so called fossil fuels.
So you might not be able to make it up, but the government did.
I asked the department, as I referred to earlier in the FOI
request, I asked how much carbon dioxide been had been used for
enhanced oil recovery and was told that EOR is oil production
and would not qualify. So they can't quite seem to make
their minds up, but they they they can go on to say that the
terms and conditions carrying out EOR would be in breach of
the licence. So one of many inconsistencies,
some of which are covered by the fairly comprehensive and very
damning report by the Public Accounts Committee.
Now it quotes the Department for Energy Security and net zero.
It was saying that CCUS is essential for the UK to meet its
net 0 targets. Those are the words of the
Department, not the Public Accounts Committee.
They do go on to say of the £22 billion commitment that 1/4 of
this financial support will come from the Exchequer, but 3/4 will
come from levies on consumers who are already facing some of
the highest energy bills in the world.
And I think that's a very important point to make.
Now, there's also every suggestion that none of this
would ever be commissioned at all, because the storage permit
will only be issued when the North Sea Transition Authority
are confident that there will be no significant risk of leakage
of CO2 or of harm to the environment and human health
from the CO2 storage activity. Now, there's nothing in the
track record of this type of technology suggests that this is
actually going to satisfy those conditions that I have reported
about this particular issue on UK column previously.
It's also stipulated that contractors, such as they may
be, will only be appointed if they are able to meet the
required standards. So effectively it's as though
the threshold of safety at least may never ever be met, despite
the spending or committed spend of £22 billion.
Now the Public Accounts Committee is unable to point
towards any evidence of any success anywhere and indeed
cites Norway as an example of a place that has taken far, far
more time to try to store any kind of carbon dioxide than they
had projected. And then also on the specific
subject of leakage, I quote recent scientific evidence
suggests that producing liquid natural gas brackets, which will
be used to run several CCUS projects such as net 0T side
close brackets, leaks more methane, A potent greenhouse
gas, into the atmosphere than previously thought.
So yes, the idea again is to store carbon dioxide whilst
using liquid natural gas at the same time.
This is how it's planned, and apparently we are not meant to
consider the irony of any of it. Now, on the specific subject of
levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, I also asked the
department about this and they pointed me towards the NOAA, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which monitors
these levels and other atmospheric gases.
Now the most recent chart shown on screen here shows an upward
trend of the carbon dioxide at by parts per million.
Now this is going back to 1975 and the detail is hard to see.
So I'll just Fast forward to the last five years and if you can
see the screen, you'll note that it's very, very obvious that
worldwide levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide follow a distinct
pattern repeated year on year. So at exactly the same times of
year, the carbon dioxide levels fall sharply for a couple of
months and then rise sharply. And therefore from this data,
it's not even remotely conceivable that this is due to
anthropogenic or human induced factors.
Which of course should make this data an enormous nail in the
coffin of so called climate science.
The NOAA data shows therefore that the atmosphere is actually
able to regulate itself. And if it were not for the
upward trend, there could be no possible grounds for suggesting
that the activities of mankind have anything to do with it at
all. So carbon capture in its latest
sort of iteration would appear to be dead in the water, which
even though it's likely to waste a huge amount of taxpayer money,
may serve as further evidence to those caught up in climate
alarmism that it is, in fact, a scam.
Now, from here, we are going to go to my apologies to Sandy.
And we were talking. I mentioned earlier that the
National Health Service is joining in the action with
regard to AI and it being the sort of epicentre of everything.
So, Sandy, please tell us what you've got on that.
Yes, I mean, our, our, our Healthcare is, is going to
change quite dramatically and all the more reason to move into
alternative ways of doing things because the data harvesting and
data data mining is, is, is obviously what's driving it all.
So the health secretary and the, the, the health and social care
secretary after COVID-19 announced that NHSX and NHS
Digital will merge with NHS England and NHS Improvement.
I mean, you may not have known all those existed.
I mean, they weren't there before, but here they are.
And this, this new technology is predictive, preventative,
personalised and participatory medicine.
So NHS at its core will be working around genetics in
disease and, and possibly, you know, reaching into the DNA of
every man and woman in the UK. These apps monitor every, every,
well, they, they team up with other, other data sources, uh,
because all your data will be in one place and it's, umm, it, it
looks at every aspect of your life.
It could be your shopping habits, your financial and
social status, education, hereditary genomics, fitness and
uh, and more. Umm, feeding into that sort of
corporate superstate, umm. So according to NHSX, from 2020
to 2025, genomic medicine will be embedded into routine care.
So let's just have a look at the future of health in this little
video, please. In the decades ahead, healthcare
will undergo dramatic transformations.
Medicine will become more precise, value will shape care
delivery, patients will become empowered consumers, and
digitalization will transform every facet of healthcare.
Patients will have a digital twin, a customised computational
model of themselves, enabling Dr Clive to anticipate illness,
guide therapy options and predict outcomes of procedures.
Expanding precision medicine will enable radiologists to make
highly specific diagnosis for Steven without unwarranted
variations. AI powered decision models fed
by vast population health data will improve diagnostic
accuracy. Healthcare will become
anticipatory, organised around Paula's medical conditions and
available around the clock, transforming care delivery.
Multidisciplinary, highly productive care teams,
structured around patients and their needs will collaboratively
deliver the full cycle of care. All interactions with John will
become convenient, personalised and compassionate, improving
patient experience supported by real time monitoring and
guidance. John will become more empowered
and have physical and virtual access to care when and where he
needs it. At Siemens Health in Ears, we
are enabling healthcare providers to increase value,
shaping the future of healthcare.
Well, um, that, that's, uh, that all sounds very, very, very
slick and wonderful, but, um, we'll, we'll see because, uh, in
short, you know that some of these GP practises are bringing
in a digital triage and workflow management system.
You know, these platforms they're buying in.
I'm going to focus on one called Anima today, but there's other
ones like hero, umm, and they're being rolled out across GP
practises in the UK. It's function.
It's to streamline how streamline how patient requests
are received and prioritised and managed.
In short, Anima functions as a central intake and triage system
designed to replace or supplement traditional online
consultation tools like the the E consult that they have now.
And it will, it will reduce staff workload.
So I think we're seeing a way of getting rid of people by
automating parts of the process. So Anima Health was founded in
2021 by Shanika Sharma, who's ex McKinsey and Sean Pang, and he's
ex Palantir, He's an ex Palantir engineer.
Palantir, obviously, you know, is all wrapped up in U.S.
defence and it's an AI company tied to the CIA data analytics.
So it's not just about helping GPS, it's about halving,
harvesting structures, population health data.
So anyway, it's it's got big, big backing by Silicon Valley.
So we're looking at it and you know, in the terms of how, you
know, this digital transformation is and human comp
computation basically. So I'm looking at this as
feeding into agenda, Agenda 20/20/30, which is the third
goal, which is good health and well being.
Basically the UN wants universal centralised health data to
monitor populations, digital IDECBDCS and this all feeds into
the what they call the equity of care present, presented as
reducing GP workload and improving access.
But in reality it's standardising patient
interaction into algorithms, depersonalising care and
tightening central control. So we really do need to make our
parallel systems and and and and focus on natural healthcare
because I this to me is is is really is, is really kind of,
yeah, a bit too, too, too pervasive.
Thank you. Absolutely, Sandy.
And of course, something will come up at our York event in
October, vast population health data, I think something we'll
probably be able to discuss a little bit further in extra.
So thank you very much for that. Now just a very quick bulletin
on farming, really prompted by the results of a survey by the
Country Land Business Association, which is a poll
only admittedly of 500 farmers. And I should remind you that
there are over 200,000 holdings in the UK.
But of those, 580% have told the CLA that they don't think their
business will survive for a further decade, while 60 have
said they considered getting out of farming altogether.
Now this is said to be sort of in response to, most
prominently, the Labor Party proposal to reinstate
inheritance tax on agricultural land.
Also, politically speaking, they say that 30 percent, 36% of
those polled indicated they'd vote reform at a general
election, whilst 38% Conservative and 0% for Labour.
Now what this is suggesting, and I think particularly in light of
the campaign that's been mentioned on on UK column in
recent weeks surrounding the sort of flags going up all over
the country and what it is to be British and all that sort of
thing. It's easy to see how this could
become a battleground. And of course Big Food and
supermarkets have hijacked this to a large extent by putting
union flags on produce to suggest that by buying British
you are actually supporting farmers, which of course is not
really the case because the results are in fact only good
for corporations, not the environment, not the farmers and
really not you now associated with this, or at least in terms
of subsidy. The government putting out
information on their future, sorry farming for the future.
And they the jargon is staggeringly confusing.
But they're talking about phasing out subsidies for land
ownership and tenure and improving the financial offer.
And they really go on to describe or at least try to
describe their sustainable farming incentive and how it can
work for you. And on their particular website
they're saying that their choice of actions that can reward and
support sustainable food production and all the rest of
it. And the paragraph below says we
are not currently accepting any new SFI applications.
Of course the government on the Defra blog talking about having
committed over 5 billion over the next two years for
sustainable farming and nature recovery and that they would be
encouraging farmers to get into as many environmental Land
Management schemes as possible. Of course not possible because
the scheme's closed. And again, just for context, 5
billion would last 10 days worked in the hands of the
National Health Service. So frankly, the sooner the
people and the farming community appreciate that the way out of
this mess is to cut both government and the corporate
giants out, and this is by trading directly with one
another, the better to come on that.
And we're going to finish off with something that may or may
not be scary. Well, I think it's very scary.
It's very, very scary because here comes Stratus.
Yes, Caroni is back. We had the original and the
best. Then we got a new variant and
then we got the Brazilian even at one point.
But now we have Stratus. Yeah.
And how do I know this? Well, because the Plymouth
Herald has told me, let's have a look.
New covic strain symptoms that are easily missed as variant
spreading fast, Charles, because it's so ineffective and so
unlikely to cause any harm whatsoever that you won't even
notice that you have it. So you better take one of those
lateral flow tests to make sure and, uh, then take six months
off work. If you do actually catch it,
that's probably what you need to do.
And thank goodness for the Plymouth Herald, otherwise how
would anyone ever know that? How would we know, frankly?
Yes, Um, right. Well, that brings us to for the
end of the programme almost. I would just like to remind you
that we have Germ and Laura Logan at 7:00 this evening.
Mike and I will be speaking at 1:00 tomorrow recorded from the
Hope event. And of course, we will be
staying on for extra time in a few minutes.
So if you're a member, please do join us for that.
If you're not a member, please do consider it.
And finally, don't forget that there are frankly unlimited
tickets available for the live stream for our October event.
So please do join us for what will be an incredible day.
Now, Many thanks to Mike for joining me in the studio and to
Vanessa and Sandy for joining by Livelink.
Thank you very much for watching.
And if we don't see you at extra time, we will look forward to
seeing you at 1:00 on Friday. Thanks very much.
Bye. Bye.
