1
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,200
Good afternoon. 
It's just gone 1:00 on Wednesday

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,320
the 17th of September 2025. 
Welcome to UK column News. 

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,360
I'm your host, Charles Mallett, 
and I'm joined in the studio 

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,600
today by Mike Robinson. 
Welcome to the programme, Mike. 

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,320
Thank you, Charles. 
We have Vanessa Beeley joining 

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,280
via Livelink from Lebanon and 
Sandy Adams also on Livelink 

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
from Somerset. 
Now in today's programme, we're 

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,680
going to be looking at the 
latest situation in Gaza as it 

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,040
continues to deteriorate. 
Unfortunately. 

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,040
We are going to explore the 
World Social Summit in Doha as 

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,240
well as a closer look at the, 
well, at least what's happening 

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,800
concerning investigatory powers 
in the United Kingdom, as well 

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,040
as recent developments on the 
war narrative. 

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Vanessa's going to be looking at
some actions being taken for the

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,680
benefit of the people of 
Palestine, or at least so it 

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000
would be hoped. 
And then we're going to look at 

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,640
latest in the absurdity of the 
carbon capture scheme as well as

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,280
the further deployment of AI by 
the NHS. 

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,920
But we're going to start with 
the inward state visit of Donald

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,040
Trump and indeed what he may 
have brought with him to the UK.

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,240
So we're going to go to Mike to 
consider what might be about to 

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,520
happen. 
Well, indeed. 

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,160
So yes, Donald Trump has arrived
in the UK for the second state 

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,080
visit. 
This is the first time any world

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800
leader has been invited for a 
second state visit, which 

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,680
appeals to Trump's ego, as we 
can hear now. 

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,600
Well, my relationship is very 
good with the UK and Charles, as

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160
you know, who's now King is my 
friend and it's the first time 

29
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,920
this has ever happened where 
somebody was honoured twice, so 

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,520
it's a great honour. 
And this was at Windsor. 

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840
They've never used Windsor 
Castle for this before. 

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,960
And they? 
Used fucking their palace and I 

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,120
don't want to say 1's better. 
Than the other, but they say 

34
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,240
Windsor Castle is the ultimate 
right, So it's going to be nice,

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,360
but basically I'm there also on 
grave. 

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,160
They, they want to see if they 
can refine the great deal a 

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,200
little bit. 
We've made a deal and it's a 

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,160
great deal. 
And I'm I'm into helping them. 

39
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Our country is doing very well. 
We've never done this well. 

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,880
We're making, we're having 
trillions of dollars coming 

41
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,720
because of the tariffs and they.
'D like to see if they could get

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,600
a little bit better deal, so 
we'll talk to them. 

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,480
But primarily it's to be with 
Prince Charles and Camilla. 

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,440
He's they're friends of mine for
a long time, long before he was 

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,920
king, and it's an honour to have
this thing. 

46
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,200
And you know, he's, I think he 
represents the country so well. 

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,200
I've watched. 
He's such an elegant gentleman 

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,440
and he represents the country so
well. 

49
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Brilliant, eh? 
Yeah, someone's been 

50
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,360
misinforming him. 
If he thinks it's the first 

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,680
state visit to Winter Castle, 
that's absolutely not the case, 

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,120
but if it makes him feel better 
then that'll be all. 

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Well anyway, on the trade deal 
which he mentioned in passing 

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,920
there, the Starmer regime has 
announced the first ever UKUS 

55
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,920
tech agreement which will quotes
bring new healthcare 

56
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,640
breakthroughs, clean home grown 
energy and more investment into 

57
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,480
the local communities and 
businesses in Britain and the 

58
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440
United States. 
Now, Sandy's going to be talking

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:25,560
more about AI and the NHS later,
but this comes as America's top 

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,920
technology in AI firms. 
And I say that dripping with 

61
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:33,760
sarcasm, like Microsoft, NVIDIA,
Google, Open AI and Core Weave 

62
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,960
commit to a combined £31 billion
to boost the U KS AI 

63
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,240
infrastructure and cutting edge 
tech, says the government. 

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680
From data centres to computer 
chips, the processing power 

65
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
behind AI. 
Today's commitments, they say 

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,320
bills on the £44 billion 
investment of the U KS AI tech 

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,000
sector under this government. 
That's their words. 

68
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,480
Now on screen you see the 
statement from Open AI with the 

69
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840
lovely graphic there. 
Now, according to them, this 

70
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,520
will help power the U KS future 
economy, boost its global 

71
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,440
competitiveness and deliver on 
the country's national AI 

72
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320
opportunities action plan. 
And they say that boosting the 

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,079
UK status as an AI maker, NVIDIA
will join forces with companies 

74
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,560
across the UK to deploy 120,000 
advanced GPUs. 

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,840
That's graphics processing units
across the UK representing its 

76
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,720
biggest ever roll out in Europe 
to date. 

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,560
And they said this 
infrastructure is the building 

78
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320
block of AI technology able to 
carry out a huge number of 

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,240
calculations in a split second. 
So we should all be highly 

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,320
impressed by that. 
Again, the questions need to be 

81
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,960
asked, where's the energy going 
to come from? 

82
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,240
Where's the cooling water going 
to come from? 

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,600
Well, under this partnership, 
let's just bring this on screen 

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,360
because the UK and the United 
States will put joint resources 

85
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,880
and expertise into making 
emerging technologies a shared 

86
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,760
success for the British and 
American people, apparently. 

87
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240
So millions of patients could 
receive life saving treatment 

88
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,080
faster. 
More on that later. 

89
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,600
And they say that families could
get access to cleaner, more 

90
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,960
reliable energy thanks to a 
civil nuclear deal. 

91
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Maybe, perhaps, but perhaps not.
They say that local communities 

92
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,320
and businesses will see greater 
opportunities through roll out 

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,240
of AI infrastructure, creating 
jobs and driving growth. 

94
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Now one of the companies that's 
behind all this is this 1 N 

95
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,480
scale. 
Now this is apparently a British

96
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,360
company based in London, but it 
seems to be delivering GPU's to 

97
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,680
the Middle East and North Africa
is is one of its main areas of 

98
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,800
extra of sort of interest. 
And I'm not sure whether that 

99
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,400
includes Israel or not. 
I haven't seen any particular 

100
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,640
evidence for that. 
But that's just by the way. 

101
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:55,800
But they are also involved in 
producing this, which is open 

102
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
eye eye to build its first 
European data centre in Norway 

103
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
with partners. 
And this is also being called 

104
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Stargate. 
So Stargate, Stargate Norway, 

105
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,360
Sorry. 
So it seems to be a process 

106
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,480
that's being rolled out just 
about everywhere, Charles, at 

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,640
the moment. 
So my question is, what is the 

108
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,360
destination for this? 
So let's try to try to imagine 

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,800
our future here a little bit. 
So robotics and AI will provide 

110
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,600
the labour and the production. 
And that's mainly because of 

111
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,120
course, our demographics are 
falling, the young, we're not 

112
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640
producing any babies anymore. 
So we're going to have to fill 

113
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,600
that gap with robotics and AI 
and therefore us humans will be 

114
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,480
reduced to consumption machines.
Now, how are we going to earn a 

115
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,480
living? 
Well, we're not because we're 

116
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,880
going to live off universal 
basic income and digital ID and 

117
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,440
CBDC is going to be required. 
So there we go. 

118
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,000
That is pretty much, I believe, 
where we are going to end up if 

119
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
we continue down this path. 
Yeah. 

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,440
And I think it seems likely we 
will. 

121
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,840
I, I think that's a prediction 
that people should absolutely 

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,400
bear in mind. 
And you know, we talk about AI 

123
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,240
opportunities. 
It's very hard to see how they, 

124
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,400
they are opportunities for 
anyone other than the companies 

125
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,360
that are rolling this stuff out 
and, and hoovering up enormous 

126
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,000
amounts of taxpayer money. 
Now, on a, on a related note, 

127
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,600
we're going to go to Sandy now. 
Doha, of course, has been in the

128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,320
news for various reasons 
recently, but you're going to be

129
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,960
talking about something else, 
the social summit. 

130
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,720
Yes, the social summit, it's 
the, the World social Summit by 

131
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,400
obviously it's the, the, the 
United Nations and the World 

132
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Economic Forum are getting 
together and it's the second 

133
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,760
summit for social development. 
And that the first one was held 

134
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,840
in Copenhagen in 1993. 
I mean the year after the, the, 

135
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,680
the Earth Summit. 
So they haven't had one of these

136
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,120
summit for social development 
for a long, long time. 

137
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,520
So it's, it's, it's quite an 
interesting point. 

138
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,760
I we have got a video, just a 
video to to explain what it's 

139
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:10,240
about. 
In 1995 history was made. 

140
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,680
The World Summit for Social 
Development in Copenhagen united

141
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,680
world leaders around a ground 
breaking commitment to put 

142
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,880
people at the centre of 
development. 

143
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,200
They pledged to eradicate 
poverty, promote social 

144
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,000
integration and achieve full and
productive employment for all. 

145
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Over the years, this commitment 
transformed into action. 

146
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,960
The Millennium Development Goals
set a global agenda for poverty 

147
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,679
eradication, health and 
education. 

148
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,600
The Sustainable Development 
Goals envisioned a just and 

149
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,640
sustainable world. 
The Pact for the Future 

150
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,640
reaffirmed global solidarity for
current and future generations. 

151
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160
In three decades, progress has 
been remarkable. 

152
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Extreme poverty has been reduced
by half. 

153
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,040
Digital transformation has 
revolutionised access to 

154
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,880
services, empowering millions 
and fostering inclusion. 

155
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160
More children, especially girls,
are in school. 

156
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,840
Breakthroughs in global health 
have increased life expectancy 

157
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,040
and tackle diseases like HIV, 
AIDS. 

158
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,200
But challenges remain. 
Inequalities in income, 

159
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,920
education, health and 
opportunity persist. 

160
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,960
A digital divide excludes 
millions. 

161
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,200
People living in vulnerable 
situations such as older 

162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,360
persons, indigenous peoples and 
persons with disabilities face 

163
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,360
barriers. 
As we approach the Second World 

164
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,440
Summit for Social Development in
2025, the world must renew its 

165
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800
commitment to inclusive social 
development. 

166
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Together, we can achieve equal 
opportunities for all resilient 

167
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,600
and sustainable societies. 
A truly inclusive world where 

168
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,400
everyone is included. 
This will bring our journey 

169
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,040
onwards towards the Second World
Summit for Social Development in

170
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Qatar. 
Let's work together for 

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,640
inclusion, equality, and people.
Thank you. 

172
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,520
I mean, you, you, this, this, 
that, that film you, you saw 

173
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:14,480
there was 10 years before the 
Sustainable Development Goals 

174
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,760
were announced in 2015. 
But they were, they were, they 

175
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,440
were exactly the same. 
And you know, obviously in 2000 

176
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,120
we had the Millennium 
Development Goals. 

177
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,120
They failed. 
They they, they were supposed to

178
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,240
be tackling poverty, health and 
education. 

179
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,160
In 2015, obviously, they they 
launched the goals, the 17 

180
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480
goals, which laid out a road map
for a more sustainable and, 

181
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,120
well, they say, a more 
sustainable and equitable 

182
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,080
future. 
It's actually the road map for 

183
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,080
the 4th Industrial Revolution. 
And in 2021, our Common agenda 

184
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,960
called for a renewed inclusive 
multilateralism. 

185
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,520
And in 2024, the Pact of the 
Future reaffirmed solidarity 

186
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,920
across generations so that that 
first summit was pretty much, 

187
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,200
you know, the same as as as 
we've got now, but kind of, you 

188
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:11,360
know, just just re rehashed. 
So they they say that the 

189
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,480
challenges still remain. 
And so the road to Doha is, is 

190
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,280
really a road map really for, 
for the future. 

191
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,680
And what they're doing is 
they're, they're looking at a 

192
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:26,520
progression of the sustainable 
development goals. 

193
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,200
And yeah, 30 years on, you know,
you, you've still got the same 

194
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,000
challenges. 
It's, it's, it, it hasn't 

195
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,520
changed because 30 years on, 
we're still looking at the same 

196
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,000
development goals and they are 
falling behind in these goals. 

197
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,840
You know, you've got, you've got
the, the, the 10 commitments 

198
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880
that they, that they said they, 
they would achieve. 

199
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,680
And those commitments have not 
been achieved. 

200
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,920
They're still, it's still work 
in progress. 

201
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,120
So what we can see from from 
from this is that the, the 2025 

202
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,640
progress assessment reveals that
the world remains far off track 

203
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,040
from achieving these goals. 
So I think, you know, we we'll 

204
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,760
be looking at that a bit later. 
So at the moment, there's 

205
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:21,320
another, there's another one of 
these conferences going on and 

206
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,520
it's a sustainable development 
impact meetings, which are 

207
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,240
pretty much this, you know, 
it's, it's all about human 

208
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,920
computation. 
It's about what we what we're 

209
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,800
going to be dealing with in the 
future and how we're going, how 

210
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,720
they think we're going to live. 
So you know, the key themes 

211
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,560
accelerating social progress, 
climate and nature with 

212
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:45,000
crossover into social justice 
and economic transitions, 

213
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,680
tackling inequality and 
promoting inclusive growth. 

214
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,000
And Deloitte, a part of this of 
of this, you know, Deloitte are,

215
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,520
are saying they're committed to 
helping create better futures by

216
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,880
making an impact that matters. 
That's why we're taking to the 

217
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,160
world stage across the United 
Nations General Assembly week, 

218
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,920
because it's actually the United
Nations General Assembly as 

219
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,320
well. 
The climate week, which is which

220
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,120
is, which is actually next week.
It's the 22nd to the 20 7th in 

221
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,920
in New York City. 
So the World Economic Forum 

222
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Sustainable development impact 
meetings are to help build a 

223
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,040
sustainable, equitable and 
prosperous future for all. 

224
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,560
During this week of thoughtful 
conversations and strategic 

225
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,640
action, we're convening some of 
the world's most powerful 

226
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,880
business leaders and policy 
makers to help build shared 

227
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,200
solutions that will make a 
lasting impact. 

228
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000
So the key themes are 
accelerating social progress. 

229
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,200
We're looking at social 
contracts here. 

230
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,000
I mean we but they beat around 
the Bush. 

231
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,320
They're looking at impact 
investing and Deloitte's as we 

232
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,600
know are all bound up with 
impact investing. 

233
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,480
They're the ones that are 
working with the Royal 

234
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:03,120
Foundation with Kate Middleton 
looking at impact investing and 

235
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,760
data mining the under fives. 
So this is what we're looking at

236
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000
and they they skirt around it. 
They don't actually say what 

237
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,400
they're doing. 
Climate, nature with crossover 

238
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,200
into social justice, all that 
stuff. 

239
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,520
And so basically we're, we're 
looking at the now, yeah, the, 

240
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,920
the people who attend, the 
stakeholders from governments, 

241
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,000
policy makers, business and 
corporate leaders, civil 

242
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,840
society, NGOs, you've got young,
young people's groups and 

243
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,560
financiers. 
They're all going to be there 

244
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,040
just literally working out how 
they can extract as much data 

245
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,760
from us as they can now looking 
at the Sustainable Development 

246
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,080
Goals. 
They are failing. 

247
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,960
And I don't think they were ever
meant to succeed need, because 

248
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,080
they don't care whether they 
succeed or not, to be honest. 

249
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Uh, all they want is is to be 
able to get the, the human 

250
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,200
computation. 
So, um in 2025. 

251
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,000
The progress assessment reveals 
that the world remains far off 

252
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,640
track from achieving the 20-30 
check goals, the 2015 baseline 

253
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,120
at the most recent years, 
supplemented by agency analysis.

254
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,680
Among these, only 35% show 
adequate progress, only 18% are 

255
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,960
on track, and 17% are making 
moderate progress. 

256
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,400
In contrast, 48% of targets show
insufficient progress, including

257
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:28,800
31% with only marginal gains and
17% with no progress at all. 

258
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,640
So 18% of the targets have 
regressed below 2015 base 

259
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,040
levels. 
So it's so it's, it's not, it's 

260
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,040
not working anyway. 
But they still continue to have 

261
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,840
these conferences in big hotels 
and just push it and just just 

262
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,120
tell us that they're working 
hard at, at saving the planet. 

263
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:54,160
So, you know, we're looking at 
these these goals end poverty. 

264
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480
Poverty is actually worse. 
If you look at if you look at 

265
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,200
the graphs, poverty, you know, 
is, is is is declining. 

266
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,680
And The thing is that digital 
poverty, they've they've 

267
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,600
invented new poverty, digital 
poverty, fuel poverty. 

268
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,640
You know, I can't even afford to
boil the kettle poverty. 

269
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,320
So there's zero hunger. 
That's not going well. 

270
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,960
We've got more food banks and in
this in this country, we've got 

271
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,760
the the trust will trust saying 
that there's there's more food 

272
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,640
banks being used by the UK's 
people good health that's 

273
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,760
declining global health 
management. 

274
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,840
Most, most of us, you know, 
can't get a doctor's appointment

275
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,560
Even so quality education, 
dumbing down, nobody's learning 

276
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,840
anything. 
So, you know, they're not 

277
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,840
achieving their goals in 
schools. 

278
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,600
And peace and justice is, is not
working either because we've got

279
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,840
the more corruption. 
So, so there we have it. 

280
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,680
It's not working. 
But they aren't interested in 

281
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,480
achieving the goals, I don't 
think. 

282
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Thank you. 
Sandy, thank you very much 

283
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,040
indeed. 
Now onto something different. 

284
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Yesterday the Investigatory 
Powers Commission Commissioner's

285
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,480
Office, the IPCO, announced that
it had been directed by by the 

286
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,319
Prime Minister to investigate a 
series of apparent abuses of the

287
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:18,040
judicial system, most notably by
the Security Service MI 5. 

288
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,200
Now the popular narrative as 
delivered by the BBC is 

289
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,440
inextricably linked with this 
case. 

290
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,880
And the story goes back some 
years concerning the serious 

291
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:34,160
abuse of a woman by a man who 
was alleged to be being used by 

292
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,680
MI 5 as a covert human 
intelligence source. 

293
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
And three of the many issues 
whether such abuse did actually 

294
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,240
take place, and therefore 
whether MI 5 failed by extension

295
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,960
to protect this woman. 
Whether MI 5 lied to the courts 

296
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,120
about their relationship with 
the man in question, referred to

297
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,400
as Agent X, and indeed whether 
the Security Service lies to the

298
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,480
BBC. 
Now it's notable in this BBC 

299
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,760
article that that they are able 
to talk to MI 5 about this in 

300
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,880
the 1st place. 
Of course UK column I dare say 

301
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,600
would not have the same success 
were we to try. 

302
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:14,240
This is written by Daniel Simone
and he writes that in fact MI 5 

303
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,280
had disclosed the man's status 
in phone calls to me as it tried

304
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,320
to persuade me not to 
investigate the man known 

305
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,000
publicly only as Agent X. 
So the BBC really appeared to be

306
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,400
more concerned about the lies 
told to them rather than the 

307
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,880
other particulars, which of 
course, bearing in mind 

308
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,360
truthfulness, is somewhat 
ironic. 1 might consider. 

309
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,600
Now at the heart of this is the 
policy of the intelligence 

310
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,760
services to neither confirm nor 
deny whether or not a particular

311
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,960
situation is the case. 
And I think one must ask really 

312
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,000
whether this sort of situation 
should be surprising when one 

313
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,800
considers the many pieces of 
legislation which are enabling 

314
00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:01,120
covert and secret activity to be
taken, indeed including criminal

315
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,560
activity. 
We've got the Regulation of 

316
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,080
Investigatory Powers Act 2000, 
Investigatory Powers Act 2016, 

317
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,200
Investigatory Powers Amendment 
Act 2024, and of course the 

318
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,000
Covert Human Intelligence 
Sources Act 2021 as well. 

319
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,560
They are, of course, always 
cloaked in the suggestion that 

320
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,600
they are necessary for your 
safety and of course that 

321
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,640
they're being managed and 
regulated appropriately and 

322
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,000
responsibly. 
Now there is a reminder, or at 

323
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,320
least I'm going to issue a 
reminder from the Covert Human 

324
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Intelligence Sources Act 2021, 
that a criminal conduct 

325
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,280
authorization is an 
authorization for criminal 

326
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,120
conduct in the course of or 
otherwise in connection with the

327
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,920
conduct of a covert human 
intelligence source. 

328
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,320
And I know Mike has done so 
recently, but I'm going to read 

329
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,560
the full list of agencies which 
may break the law with impunity 

330
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,680
subject satisfying the 
conditions. 

331
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,880
And they are as written down in 
the legislation, any police 

332
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,880
force, the National Crime 
Agency, the Serious Fraud 

333
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,640
Office, the intelligence 
services, the Armed forces, Her 

334
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,440
Majesty's Revenue and Customs, 
the Department of Health and 

335
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,800
Social Care, the Home Office, 
the Ministry of Justice, the 

336
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,680
Competition and Markets 
Authority, the Environment 

337
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,520
Agency, the Financial Conduct 
Authority, the Food Standards 

338
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,400
Agency, the Gambling Commission.
So it is quite staggering really

339
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,360
that that those. 
Privileges, one might call them,

340
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,280
are afforded to all of those 
organisations and the Prime 

341
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,560
Minister's intervention in this 
particular situation may be 

342
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,840
regarded as superfluous in that 
it adds nothing to what the 

343
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,240
courts had said in both the 
beginning and end of July of 

344
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,040
this year, which was that 
further investigation is 

345
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,400
required and this is to be done 
by the IPC, as I mentioned. 

346
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,560
Now the overall investigation is
held by the Investigatory Powers

347
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,200
Tribunal and on the 30th of 
July, over three years after 

348
00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,000
proceedings began, wrote that 
Beth, the claimant here. 

349
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,920
Respondent. 
Sorry, wrong Claimant Beth was 

350
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,920
in a relationship with X for a 
number of years and claims that 

351
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,160
he was seriously abusive to her.
Beth says that X was a covert 

352
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,920
human intelligence source who 
was working for MI 5. 

353
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,080
The Tribunal has not yet 
considered or determined the 

354
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,000
substantive merits of claim. 
So the point here appears to be 

355
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,960
that it's all being made to look
like there's going to be 

356
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,760
increased regulation of agencies
like MI 5, whilst at the same 

357
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,480
time paving the way for enhanced
surveillance of the population 

358
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,040
under the banner again of 
security. 

359
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,280
And I'd just like to point out 
that Brian Gerrish wrote about 

360
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,120
exactly this a decade ago on the
UK column website and I quote 

361
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,240
today. 
Britain is the most spied upon 

362
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,840
country in the world with 
millions of CCTV cameras and 

363
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800
increasingly sophisticated 
facial tracking and recognition 

364
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,240
software. 
And of course, they'll be able 

365
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,080
to linked to that in the show 
notes. 

366
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,360
And the last thing I'd like to 
point out is that the 

367
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,440
investigatory Powers 
commissioner is, of course, none

368
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,400
other than Brian Leveson, man 
who ran the inquiry which set 

369
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,320
the ball rolling for the 
situation that Brian Gerrish has

370
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,080
just described, or at least 
described A decade ago. 

371
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,200
And most recently, the same man 
whose report on the judiciary 

372
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,760
said, among other things, that 
juries should be done away with 

373
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320
because they are too time 
consuming. 

374
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:27,600
Now that moves us on to Vanessa 
and Vanessa to go some way to 

375
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,920
describing what's been happening
recently in Gaza. 

376
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,880
Yeah. 
As you mentioned, Charles, 

377
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:42,640
things have deteriorated beyond 
what we thought was where it 

378
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,960
couldn't deteriorate any further
previously. 

379
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,560
This short video that I'll show 
just to begin my report of 

380
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,120
hundreds of thousands of people 
are being forced out of Gaza 

381
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,200
City, which is in central Gaza, 
into areas in the South that are

382
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,280
effectively becoming kill pens 
for the Zionists. 

383
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,920
This was the bombing of a truck 
that was evacuating a whole 

384
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,880
family. 
I apologise for the distressing 

385
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:36,440
video. 
So while an entire family was 

386
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,640
wiped out in in that one bombing
and while many others are being 

387
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,160
slaughtered on their way to try 
and evacuate to where there is 

388
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,400
effectively no safety at all in 
Gaza. 

389
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,480
This is Chancellor Frederick 
Mertz, who if you remember, said

390
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,640
that Israel was doing our dirty 
work, meaning the EU, when they 

391
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,320
attacked Iran. 
Here he is speaking with great 

392
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,440
emotion at the reopening of a 
synagogue in Munich. 

393

Gothen, Harper. 

399
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,880
He goes on to say that the 
government will wage war against

400
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,360
anti Semitism, which means 
against protesters, against the 

401
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:11,880
genocide that Zionists are 
committing in Gaza and in the 

402
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,880
occupied territories at the same
time. 

403
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,600
Around 2 days ago this report 
appeared in our Dutch media 

404
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,040
Devox Grant. 
This is the English version. 

405
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,280
What the wounds are telling us. 
It's a very good investigative 

406
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:34,040
report into the deliberate 
sniping by the IOF and drone 

407
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:40,760
snipers of children. 
So let's just have a look at one

408
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,680
child. 
Mira, aged 4, was shot in the 

409
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,040
head. 
There are multiple reports of 

410
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,200
this kind of killing in the Box 
Grant article and I recommend 

411
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,080
that everybody reads it in full.
Basically, the findings of the 

412
00:25:56,120 --> 00:26:03,360
article were that 114 children 
were found with similar wounds 

413
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,080
with bullets in various areas of
their body that eventually 

414
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,640
killed them. 
Eyewitnesses told the doctors 

415
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,360
that the bullet came from the 
iOS snipers or drones. 

416
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,200
According to the former 
commander of Dutch land forces, 

417
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,440
the chance that these were 
accidental hits is negligible 

418
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:30,320
since the doctors describe more 
than 100 cases. 9 doctors 

419
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,440
testified that the wounds had 
probably been caused by the 

420
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,520
controversial fragmentation 
weapons, which I'll come on to 

421
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,040
in the next slide. 
And of course, the IOF is 

422
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,240
denying everything, despite 
there being a history of Amnesty

423
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,160
International and Human Rights 
Watch reports on the use of 

424
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,480
fragmentation weapons and 
sniping of children. 

425
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,600
And if we look, this is the 
effect of one of the 

426
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,000
fragmentation weapons. 
So when the bullet or the 

427
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,800
missile explodes, it releases 
hundreds if not thousands of 

428
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,920
tiny pallets of tungsten which 
enter the body. 

429
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,560
Sometimes the children are sent 
home because the wound is not 

430
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,000
immediately visible. 
And yet those tiny pallets enter

431
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,120
the organs and it turns out that
they've been struck by fragments

432
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,960
of metal shaped like cubes or 
cylinders. 

433
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,720
These pieces are so small, just 
a few millimetres, that doctors 

434
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,320
sometimes can't even find an 
entry or exit wound. 

435
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,400
But inside the body, they cause 
what doctors describe as 

436
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,280
horrific damage. 
Organs are pierced, nerves and 

437
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,080
blood vessels are hit. 
As a result, patients suffer 

438
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,480
fatal internal bleeding or are 
forced to undergo amputation. 

439
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,480
This is another child from the 
article. 

440
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,040
This is according to Doctor 
Pelmuta. 

441
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,120
The fragments are made of 
tungsten. 

442
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,680
The girl was hit by the metal 
fragments. 

443
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,800
Unfortunately, they entered 
through her nasal cavity and 

444
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:57,280
into her brain and killed her. 
They now today we also have to 

445
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:03,080
remember 17th of September is 
the one year after the terrorist

446
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,280
pager attack in Lebanon. 
This is just one of the victims.

447
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,440
This is Hussein Danny, aged 12. 
I used to run and go to school, 

448
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,920
now I just go to Beirut for 
treatment. 

449
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:18,960
More than 3000 people in Lebanon
were injured by the Patriot 

450
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,760
attack. 
Many mutilated, lost their eyes,

451
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,680
their hands, had their faces 
laced with scars that will haunt

452
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,240
them for the rest of their life.
And I wanted to basically finish

453
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,720
with this video from two of the 
NHS, that doctors in the UK that

454
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,600
are being persecuted by the 
Zionist movement in the UK 

455
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,120
through the NHS itself, through 
the bodies that govern the NHS. 

456
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,760
One is Doctor Riani, Rihanna Ali
and the other is Doctor Rahman 

457
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,560
Al Adwana, who of course I've 
spoken about previously on UK 

458
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,560
column. 
But just to play what Doctor 

459
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,600
Rihanna had to say about what 
Israel is doing to the 

460
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,240
Palestinians. 
The settlers have done that 

461
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,320
since they have poisoned crops, 
they have booby trapped. 

462
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,120
They have poisoned left poisoned
food, tinned food. 

463
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,520
They've booby trapped toys. 
They have used quadcopters, 

464
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,800
which emit the sound of children
trying to lure Palestinians out.

465
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,240
And then as soon as they come 
out to look for the crying 

466
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200
child, they kill them. 
OK. 

467
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:30,160
So I think I'm perfectly correct
to say that Israelis are a 

468
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,280
different, almost a different 
breed, OK? 

469
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,440
They're nowhere else, I believe,
on this planet will you find a 

470
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,640
society that is so psychopathic,
OK. 

471
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,960
And just because you find a few 
exceptions, there is something 

472
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,400
wrong with Israeli society. 
And I think the poll after poll 

473
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,200
supports my view. 
You know, 82% of Israeli Jews. 

474
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,920
That's a poll from only a couple
of weeks ago, two or three weeks

475
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,360
ago, showing that, you know, 82%
of Israeli Jews supported the 

476
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:02,520
ethnic cleansing of Gaza. 
And another reminder that 

477
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:08,200
September the 16th to the 18th, 
of course, is commemoration of 

478
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,000
the 1982 Sabra and Shatila 
massacre of Palestinians, where 

479
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,800
Zionists engineered the 
massacre, the rape and the 

480
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,560
slaughter of Palestinian men, 
women and children in 1982 here 

481
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,400
in Lebanon. 
Thank you very much Vanessa, 

482
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,360
very challenging material and of
course we do apologise just to 

483
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,000
some degree for using such 
distressing images, although it 

484
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,320
is critically important that 
people are made aware, 

485
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,000
especially whilst governments 
stand idly by. 

486
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:44,920
Now the UK column, as you may 
know, is funded only by its 

487
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,920
members and indeed by donations.
And if you would like to be a 

488
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,800
part of that and sustaining what
it is that we do do, we would be

489
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,680
very, very pleased. 
And on our front page there is a

490
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,320
big button saying click here, 
which will articulate the ways 

491
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,400
in which you can support what we
do. 

492
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,200
I'd also like to remind you that
our shop has a range of goodies 

493
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,880
to be sported at almost all 
occasions, so please do take a 

494
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,520
look there. 
Now, going out on the Germ 

495
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,160
Warfare podcast, tonight is a 
rerun. 

496
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,520
Germ is away at the minute, but 
we're going to listen again to 

497
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,520
Laura Logan and about what 
happened to journalism. 

498
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,480
So please tune in at 7:00. 
And then tomorrow going out at 

499
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,840
1:00 will be a talk that Mike 
and I gave at the Hope Freedom 

500
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,400
event back over the August bank 
holiday entitled The Editors Law

501
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,760
comes to Britain. 
But really dealing with a number

502
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,080
of points of legislation that 
have come out or are coming in 

503
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,960
recent years. 
So please do tune into that 

504
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,560
tomorrow at 1:00. 
Now coming up on the 28th of 

505
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,000
September, if you happen to be 
north or in Scotland or prepared

506
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,840
to travel, then there's an event
being organised by Common 

507
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Knowledge Edinburgh on Sunday 
28th of September. 

508
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,640
I will be speaking at it and 
Diane will also be present. 

509
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,760
So please do get along to that 
and support it if you can. 

510
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,840
And then to our UK column on 
location event in York on 

511
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Saturday the 18th of October. 
We're pleased to announce that 

512
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,440
it is sold out, but a reminder 
that live stream is very much 

513
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,040
available for tickets. 
And also to make it very clear 

514
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,600
that if you do buy a ticket for 
the live stream, you will also 

515
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,800
have access to Andy Wakefield's 
excellent film Protocol 7. 

516
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,160
So please, if you can join us on
the live stream, you don't need 

517
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,000
to watch it on the day. 
You will have access to it 

518
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,760
thereafter. 
And a reminder to anyone who has

519
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,440
an in person ticket, you will 
also have access to the live 

520
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,920
stream. 
So I hope that's clear and that 

521
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,200
we'll get lots of people signing
up for that because it will be a

522
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,160
great day. 
Now we're going to go to a 

523
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,640
narrative that we've treated 
with a great deal of detail over

524
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,160
the years and months, and it's 
war and how it's building. 

525
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,880
Yes, indeed. 
So on Monday, NATO announced 

526
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,160
that on Saturday at the weekend,
a French Rafael fighter jet was 

527
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,160
scrambled, one of three deployed
to Poland in response to quote 

528
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,440
another potential threat from 
Russian drones. 

529
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,040
The response, they say, was fast
and the alert was over quickly. 

530
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,040
And so that was according to 
Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

531
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,960
Now 4 Europe, German Euro 
fighters apparently stand ready 

532
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,520
to respond at an air base in the
North East of Poland. 

533
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,120
And three helicopters from the 
Czech Republic arrived in Poland

534
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,400
over the weekend. 
And that's according to this 

535
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,440
NATO release. 
But we of course heard in the 

536
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:35,680
last few days that the UK, 
Denmark, Spain, Sweden and Italy

537
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,040
have all said they'll provide 
capabilities for the NATO 

538
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,800
operation in Poland as well. 
The Starmer regime said that 

539
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,000
quotes The Typhoons will operate
out of RAFRAF Coningsby in 

540
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Lincolnshire and are expected to
start flying missions over 

541
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,720
Poland in the coming days. 
They'll be supported by RAF 

542
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,080
Voyager air to air refuelling 
aircraft from RAF Bryce Norton. 

543
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,920
The commitment follows a meeting
of the North Atlantic Council on

544
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,720
Wednesday the 10th of September,
where the UK and allies 

545
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,160
discussed the situation 
following Poland's request for 

546
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,520
consultations under Article 4 of
the Washington Treaty. 

547
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:11,239
Allies expressed full solidarity
with Poland. 

548
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,840
So this is apparently sorry, 
they go on to say, in fact, this

549
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,120
new era, era of threat, 
exemplified by Russia's 

550
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,159
intensifying airspace 
violations, requires a new era 

551
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,159
of defence. 
And this government is 

552
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,880
delivering the largest sustained
increase in defence spending 

553
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,000
since the end of the Cold War. 
The rhetoric is nonsense, but at

554
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,280
the point, the point here is 
that they continue to try to 

555
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,280
build this narrative of Russian 
attacks on NATO countries with a

556
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,360
view, well, Article 4 already 
invoked, but with a view to 

557
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:46,159
invoking Article 5. 
So where does that take us? 

558
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,920
Well, in the meantime, the UK 
Foreign Office summoned the 

559
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:56,320
Russian ambassador to the UK, 
Andre Klain yesterday to 

560
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,400
complain about alleged Russian 
drones violating Polish airspace

561
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,320
and TASS here is reporting that 
quotes On September the 15th, 

562
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,440
the ambassador was invited to 
the Foreign Office where a 

563
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,720
formal protest was lodged 
against him regarding the 

564
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,480
presence of drones in Polish 
airspace. 

565
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,720
The British were asked if they 
had any evidence that the drones

566
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,480
have been launched by the 
Russian military. 

567
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,000
They did not provide any. 
We also asked them to clarify 

568
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,600
the motives for sending drones 
towards Poland. 

569
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,880
Obviously, Russia would not have
been interested in this. 

570
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,920
On the contrary, the Kiev 
leadership has many reasons and 

571
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,600
opportunities to carry out such 
a false flag operation. 

572
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,040
It's not difficult to list them.
No counter arguments have been 

573
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,240
presented to us and the embassy 
claim went on to say we 

574
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:42,800
reiterate that Russia has no 
interest in escalating tensions 

575
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,640
in relations with Poland or 
NATO. 

576
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,440
On the contrary, Kiev and the 
sponsors who've repeatedly 

577
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,480
carried out provocations for 
this purpose are interested in 

578
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,480
further inflating militaristic 
anti Russian hysteria. 

579
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,040
Therefore, it's clear who's at 
fault. 

580
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,800
Well, the article for sorry, the
narrative for Article 5 

581
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,600
continues to build. 
Reuters here claims that the 

582
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:13,680
Romanian Defence ministry has 
said that it scrambled an F16 to

583
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,320
chase a Russian drone that it 
claimed entered Romanian 

584
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,120
airspace from Ukraine. 
The defence minister said the 

585
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,720
F16 pilots came close to taking 
down the drone as was flying 

586
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:28,120
very low before it left national
airspace towards Ukraine. 

587
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,480
It flew back towards Ukraine. 
Charles, I don't know what to 

588
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,440
say about that. 
Didn't come from Russia. 

589
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,360
Therefore it's impossible to 
say. 

590
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,680
The problem is, of course, that 
the whole Russian drones in 

591
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,240
Poland fakery continues to fall 
apart with the news that the 

592
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:45,960
house that was damaged was 
actually damaged by a Polish 

593
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,120
missile fired from an F16. 
And actually, according to 

594
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,440
Polish sources, not mentioned in
this article, but those sources 

595
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,680
saying that the house had 
already been damaged by a storm.

596
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,160
But let's not, let's not let any
of that get in the way of the 

597
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,960
the truth that the government 
wants us to believe. 

598
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:07,480
Now things are not going so well
for NATO here in Europe. 

599
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Let's see what we sorry, things 
may not be going so well here 

600
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,240
for for NATO and Europe, but 
they can at least point to their

601
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:21,320
continuing expansion in the 
Pacific as the encirclement of 

602
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,840
Russia and the increasing 
pressure on China continues. 

603
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,520
So here's Defence Times 
reporting that the US Army put 

604
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,480
on a display of its Typhoon mid 
range missile system in Japan a 

605
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,120
couple of days ago. 
Typhoon was featured during the 

606
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,480
annual bilateral exercise 
Resolute Dragon, which started 

607
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,880
last week. 
And that includes more than 

608
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:49,680
19,000 US and Japanese troops 
participating in an exercise on 

609
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,200
maritime defence and literal 
protection, which is held across

610
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,520
Japan. 
And that's according to the US 

611
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,480
Department of Defence cited by 
Defence News here. 

612
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,840
At the same time, Japan's Air 
Force is sending a contingent of

613
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:09,400
4F15 J fighters and sport 
aircraft on a tour of the US and

614
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,600
Europe quotes to strengthen 
cooperation with NATO amid 

615
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,720
threats from Russia, China and 
North Korea. 

616
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,440
And that's according to 
Newsweek. 

617
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,720
On screen at the moment, Japan 
views the security of the Euro, 

618
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:24,080
Atlantic and Indo Pacific as 
indivisible, citing Russia's 

619
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,480
full scale invasion of Ukraine, 
China's attempts to change the 

620
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,360
status quo by force in disputed 
Asian waters, North Korea's 

621
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,280
development of nuclear missiles,
the deployment of the Japanese 

622
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,520
Air Force, Newsweek reports its 
first mission in Europe and 

623
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,400
Canada follows the conclusion of
a British aircraft carriers 

624
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:48,000
operations in North East Asia. 
So the war machine continues to 

625
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,960
build. 
But just to finish this off, in 

626
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,520
response to reports of AUS Navy 
vessel boarding and detaining A 

627
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Venezuelan fishing boat, China's
Ministry of Foreign Affairs 

628
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,520
denounced the risk of conflict 
in the raising of the risk and 

629
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,360
conflict. 
And they said recently, in the 

630
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,880
name of combating drug 
trafficking, the US has deployed

631
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,680
forces to the waters of the 
Caribbean Sea of Venezuela and 

632
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,840
claimed to have sunk A 
Venezuelan vessel, shot dead 

633
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,480
soldiers and intercepted and 
detained A Venezuelan fishing 

634
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,400
boat, resulting in continued 
tensions in the region. 

635
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,680
US has moved threaten regional 
peace and security, severely 

636
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,720
infringe upon other countries 
sovereignty, security and lawful

637
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,840
rights and interests and 
seriously violate international 

638
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,880
law and that was according to 
the Chinese Foreign Ministry. 

639
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,000
I just wanted very briefly 
Vanessa, just to get a comment 

640
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,040
from you on this because you are
aware of what's going on with 

641
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,160
with Venezuela. 
So if you could comment on that 

642
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,760
and and also the Chinese 
statement here. 

643
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,400
Well, I think, you know, 
historically, the war on drugs 

644
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,480
has never been anything more 
than the US basically benefiting

645
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,920
from the drug cartels but then 
weaponizing them against the 

646
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,360
target countries. 
We've seen it in Venezuela and 

647
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,880
of course, we saw it in Syria 
with President Assad being 

648
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:14,280
called the head of the narco 
state with the Captagon claims. 

649
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,040
Of course, Captagon running is 
still continuing since the 

650
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,320
former government fell, which 
suggests that it had nothing to 

651
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,960
do with President Assad but more
to do with the Western terrorist

652
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,720
proxies. 
OK. 

653
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,080
Thank you, Vanessa. 
Now let's move on then back to 

654
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,000
sort of Palestinian related 
issues. 

655
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,800
Yeah, indeed. 
With Vanessa, I mean, obviously 

656
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,800
your earlier segment really 
describing how little is being 

657
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,200
done by the political class who 
continue to sit on their hands. 

658
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,920
But now you're going to tell us 
a bit more about people who are 

659
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,560
in fact getting out and doing 
something? 

660
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,040
Well, sadly the the report is 
actually more about the 

661
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,360
infiltration of pro Palestine 
movements, particularly in the 

662
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,880
West. 
And this is related very much to

663
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,160
the UK. 
It's an investigation that was 

664
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:06,840
largely done by Professor David 
Miller, but I participated in a 

665
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,360
Palestine Declassified with 
Chris Williamson and David 

666
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Miller. 
So this is a concert that's 

667
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,080
actually coming up on the 17th 
of September together for 

668
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,120
Palestine. 
There's a huge array of 

669
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,480
musicians and artists, very well
known ones that are performing 

670
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,040
as they believe to raise funds 
for Palestine. 

671
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,480
But the reality is if we look at
the background to the 

672
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,320
organisations that that are 
effectively organising this 

673
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,000
event. 
So if we look at first of all, 

674
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,520
choose love, this is just one 
organisation that I'm going to 

675
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,480
focus on today. 
And here is David talking about 

676
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:52,200
it on the Palestine Declassified
report that we did. 

677
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,320
Zionist Foundation is called the
Jewish Philanthropies and and 

678
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,840
others and including including 
also some British Zionist 

679
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,880
foundations who have been giving
them money. 

680
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,680
And also in there is the 
Rockefeller Rockefeller Brothers

681
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,760
Fund, which of course is a well 
known, it says in the film the 

682
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,120
CIA pass through. 
Now what that means, of course, 

683
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,480
is that that in the previous 
decades that what would happen 

684
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,320
is that the the the Rockefeller 
Brothers and the Ford Foundation

685
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,480
and and other big foundations 
would take money from the CIA 

686
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,960
and would pass it on to other 
organisations. 

687
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,440
So it would disguise the role of
the CIA and and pushing money 

688
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,480
out out to what were effectively
CIA assets. 

689
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,360
Now that appears to be what's 
happening with Choose love, and 

690
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,560
there are a whole range of 
other. 

691
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,840
Organisations which are funding 
it, which indicates that there's

692
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,080
there are questions to be asked 
about its activities. 

693
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:50,440
It's not just about helping 
refugees or relieving suffering 

694
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,160
in in earthquake regions or 
after disasters. 

695
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,240
It's also about. 
It looks like pursuing the 

696
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:00,920
interests of of powerful actors,
including in the national 

697
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,240
security state in the US and 
perhaps even elsewhere. 

698
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,640
In fact, Choose Love has 
multiple funders that are 

699
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,000
related to the Zionist movement 
in the UK and the US. 

700
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,120
And in fact, Choose Love 
celebrated the fall of Syria, 

701
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,160
supported the fall of Syria and 
the rise of Al Qaeda to power in

702
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,600
Syria. 
In fact they gave 500,000 to the

703
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,440
CI AM I6 incubated White Helmet 
organisation that we've written 

704
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,880
about and covered many times on 
UK column to investigate the 

705
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,280
alleged crimes committed at said
NYA prison. 

706
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,080
Even the White Helmets now have 
walked back many of the claims 

707
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,720
that they made back in December 
2024. 

708
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,680
So Choose Love is clearly has a 
bias towards supporting Israel. 

709
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,840
It doesn't allow any support for
example of the BDS, the boycott,

710
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,640
Divestment and sanction 
movement. 

711
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,040
And then let's have a look at 
Together for Palestine, the 

712
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,200
actual organisation that was 
established in May 2025 and is 

713
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,680
now running this event. 
Again, as I said, ostensibly for

714
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Palestine, but let's have a look
at the directors of this 

715
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:20,080
organisation, Anna Catherine 
Nolan and James Sardry, both of 

716
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,760
them Co directors and Co 
founders of the Syria Campaign. 

717
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:28,160
What was the Syria campaign? 
Syria campaign was the main PR 

718
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,400
arm or auxiliary of the White 
Helmets that promoted regime 

719
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:37,080
change in Syria, claiming to be 
a human rights advocacy group 

720
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,320
but in fact criminalising the 
Syrian government. 

721
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:45,080
And of course, the White Helmets
ran the propaganda reference 

722
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:48,360
chemical weapons that were used 
to basically in the end 

723
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,600
criminalise the Syrian 
government and allies and all of

724
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,960
these organisations that formed 
a huge regime change complex, 

725
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,560
effectively established and run 
by the intelligence agencies in 

726
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,880
the countries invested in regime
change in Syria. 

727
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,800
And that includes the UK. 
And finally, there will be a 

728
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,280
link in the show notes to a new 
article by David Miller that 

729
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,840
goes into far greater depth of 
infiltration, a cardinal 

730
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,680
function of the Zionist 
movement. 

731
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,920
But what is worrying is the 
extent to which the Zionist 

732
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,840
movement has, as we've said 
before, infiltrated special 

733
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,760
interest groups, NGOs, soft 
power within the UK itself and 

734
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,920
is now behind the scenes of many
of what appear to be pro 

735
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Palestine organisations. 
I'm just going to mention before

736
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,200
we move on, Charles David 
Miller's also published articles

737
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:46,560
on this issue at the UK Column 
as well, so do have a look on 

738
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,720
the UK Column website as well as
Smith Press. 

739
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,800
Yeah, absolutely, Vanessa, thank
you very much indeed. 

740
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,480
Onto the subject of carbon 
capture. 

741
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,040
Now, it may have escaped your 
attention that at the beginning 

742
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:04,080
of the month there was a summit 
in London at the Carbon Capture 

743
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,480
Global Summit, and the language 
is important. 

744
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,720
They say they're turbo charging 
carbon capture and underground 

745
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:14,040
storage and forging global 
partnerships, and that seems to 

746
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,640
be very much what it is about. 
Here. 

747
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,800
We see that one of the main 
sponsors is none other than 

748
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,040
Shell. 
They claim that they're going to

749
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,160
be increasing the amount of 
carbon captured by over 100 

750
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:28,360
times the current figure by 
2050. 

751
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,160
And to achieve this ambitious 
goal, they have to have a 

752
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,160
unified global effort. 
They transcend borders and the 

753
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:39,280
entire low carbon supply chain 
and other such language. 

754
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,160
Now, this does appear to be all 
about appearance. 

755
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,800
The website is full of sort of 
lofty aims and promises and all 

756
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,680
the rest of it. 
And how do you want it to 

757
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,960
attend? 
You could have done, say, for 

758
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:58,840
the meagre sum of 3440 lbs and 
the gala dinner would have been 

759
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,800
an additional £400, but you 
would have seen the awards 

760
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,480
ceremony. 
Now looking at the current 

761
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,200
government, the the Labour 
manifesto from last year spoke 

762
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:17,440
about a 1 billion commitment to 
accelerate the deployment of 

763
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,800
carbon capture, words that might
suggest there is something going

764
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,800
on at the minute. 
So the question is from what 

765
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,880
point are we starting now? 
I submitted a Freedom of 

766
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,680
Information request to the 
Department for Energy Security 

767
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,840
and Net Zero to make a few 
enquiries not just about 

768
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,720
progress but also about cost. 
They replied certainly on the 

769
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,200
cost side of things by saying 
the UK government has committed 

770
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:48,040
21.7 billion to CCUS over the 
next 25 years and to date they 

771
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:52,680
have spent £630 million on the 
programme. 

772
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,320
Now that's interesting because 
also the UK CCUS facilities have

773
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,760
not yet stored any carbon 
dioxide. 

774
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,720
Now that is staggering in its 
own right, I would say. 

775
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:09,680
But just to set it in context, I
was just looking around various 

776
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,960
sort of government pledges this 
morning and I see that the 

777
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,200
Ministry of Defence is growing 
about a £250 billion fund to 

778
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,360
boost local economies over five 
years. 

779
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,600
And yet here we are not even 
putting carbon dioxide in the 

780
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,040
ground for 630 million. 
So that's just a a sense of 

781
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,960
perspective. 
Now, also to qualify what it is 

782
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,560
we're talking about, we're going
to look back to 2016, the Oil 

783
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,880
and Gas Authority, which 
presented their enhanced oil 

784
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,360
recovery strategy, uh, an 
examination, examination of 

785
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:45,680
methods of recovering crude oil.
And one such was to use carbon 

786
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:50,480
dioxide, which becomes available
from carbon capture and storage.

787
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:54,360
And if that's confused you, then
I should point out that this is 

788
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,840
actually the case. 
It was a technology proposed for

789
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,200
reducing carbon dioxide being 
suggested as a means for 

790
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,160
extracting so called fossil 
fuels. 

791
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,880
So you might not be able to make
it up, but the government did. 

792
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,360
I asked the department, as I 
referred to earlier in the FOI 

793
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,240
request, I asked how much carbon
dioxide been had been used for 

794
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:20,040
enhanced oil recovery and was 
told that EOR is oil production 

795
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,320
and would not qualify. 
So they can't quite seem to make

796
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,720
their minds up, but they they 
they can go on to say that the 

797
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,000
terms and conditions carrying 
out EOR would be in breach of 

798
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,480
the licence. 
So one of many inconsistencies, 

799
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,240
some of which are covered by the
fairly comprehensive and very 

800
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:41,480
damning report by the Public 
Accounts Committee. 

801
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,760
Now it quotes the Department for
Energy Security and net zero. 

802
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,800
It was saying that CCUS is 
essential for the UK to meet its

803
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,400
net 0 targets. 
Those are the words of the 

804
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Department, not the Public 
Accounts Committee. 

805
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,280
They do go on to say of the £22 
billion commitment that 1/4 of 

806
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,960
this financial support will come
from the Exchequer, but 3/4 will

807
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,560
come from levies on consumers 
who are already facing some of 

808
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,560
the highest energy bills in the 
world. 

809
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,880
And I think that's a very 
important point to make. 

810
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,280
Now, there's also every 
suggestion that none of this 

811
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,720
would ever be commissioned at 
all, because the storage permit 

812
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,880
will only be issued when the 
North Sea Transition Authority 

813
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,520
are confident that there will be
no significant risk of leakage 

814
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,840
of CO2 or of harm to the 
environment and human health 

815
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:32,360
from the CO2 storage activity. 
Now, there's nothing in the 

816
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,880
track record of this type of 
technology suggests that this is

817
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,320
actually going to satisfy those 
conditions that I have reported 

818
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,880
about this particular issue on 
UK column previously. 

819
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,160
It's also stipulated that 
contractors, such as they may 

820
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,680
be, will only be appointed if 
they are able to meet the 

821
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,720
required standards. 
So effectively it's as though 

822
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:58,120
the threshold of safety at least
may never ever be met, despite 

823
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,120
the spending or committed spend 
of £22 billion. 

824
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,000
Now the Public Accounts 
Committee is unable to point 

825
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,200
towards any evidence of any 
success anywhere and indeed 

826
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:14,400
cites Norway as an example of a 
place that has taken far, far 

827
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,040
more time to try to store any 
kind of carbon dioxide than they

828
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,280
had projected. 
And then also on the specific 

829
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,200
subject of leakage, I quote 
recent scientific evidence 

830
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,000
suggests that producing liquid 
natural gas brackets, which will

831
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:32,160
be used to run several CCUS 
projects such as net 0T side 

832
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,800
close brackets, leaks more 
methane, A potent greenhouse 

833
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,560
gas, into the atmosphere than 
previously thought. 

834
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:44,360
So yes, the idea again is to 
store carbon dioxide whilst 

835
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,800
using liquid natural gas at the 
same time. 

836
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,800
This is how it's planned, and 
apparently we are not meant to 

837
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:58,160
consider the irony of any of it.
Now, on the specific subject of 

838
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,360
levels of atmospheric carbon 
dioxide, I also asked the 

839
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,120
department about this and they 
pointed me towards the NOAA, the

840
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,680
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, which monitors 

841
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,960
these levels and other 
atmospheric gases. 

842
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,480
Now the most recent chart shown 
on screen here shows an upward 

843
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:21,520
trend of the carbon dioxide at 
by parts per million. 

844
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,840
Now this is going back to 1975 
and the detail is hard to see. 

845
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:30,880
So I'll just Fast forward to the
last five years and if you can 

846
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,880
see the screen, you'll note that
it's very, very obvious that 

847
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,880
worldwide levels of atmospheric 
carbon dioxide follow a distinct

848
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,480
pattern repeated year on year. 
So at exactly the same times of 

849
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,800
year, the carbon dioxide levels 
fall sharply for a couple of 

850
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:48,000
months and then rise sharply. 
And therefore from this data, 

851
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,640
it's not even remotely 
conceivable that this is due to 

852
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,000
anthropogenic or human induced 
factors. 

853
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,640
Which of course should make this
data an enormous nail in the 

854
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,520
coffin of so called climate 
science. 

855
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:04,560
The NOAA data shows therefore 
that the atmosphere is actually 

856
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,240
able to regulate itself. 
And if it were not for the 

857
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:10,280
upward trend, there could be no 
possible grounds for suggesting 

858
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,960
that the activities of mankind 
have anything to do with it at 

859
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,080
all. 
So carbon capture in its latest 

860
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,200
sort of iteration would appear 
to be dead in the water, which 

861
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,360
even though it's likely to waste
a huge amount of taxpayer money,

862
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,120
may serve as further evidence to
those caught up in climate 

863
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,000
alarmism that it is, in fact, a 
scam. 

864
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:38,800
Now, from here, we are going to 
go to my apologies to Sandy. 

865
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,400
And we were talking. 
I mentioned earlier that the 

866
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,440
National Health Service is 
joining in the action with 

867
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,680
regard to AI and it being the 
sort of epicentre of everything.

868
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,120
So, Sandy, please tell us what 
you've got on that. 

869
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,920
Yes, I mean, our, our, our 
Healthcare is, is going to 

870
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,720
change quite dramatically and 
all the more reason to move into

871
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:05,080
alternative ways of doing things
because the data harvesting and 

872
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,920
data data mining is, is, is 
obviously what's driving it all.

873
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,440
So the health secretary and the,
the, the health and social care 

874
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:20,360
secretary after COVID-19 
announced that NHSX and NHS 

875
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,840
Digital will merge with NHS 
England and NHS Improvement. 

876
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,120
I mean, you may not have known 
all those existed. 

877
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,440
I mean, they weren't there 
before, but here they are. 

878
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,200
And this, this new technology is
predictive, preventative, 

879
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,760
personalised and participatory 
medicine. 

880
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,880
So NHS at its core will be 
working around genetics in 

881
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:45,200
disease and, and possibly, you 
know, reaching into the DNA of 

882
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:50,600
every man and woman in the UK. 
These apps monitor every, every,

883
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,640
well, they, they team up with 
other, other data sources, uh, 

884
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,640
because all your data will be in
one place and it's, umm, it, it 

885
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,080
looks at every aspect of your 
life. 

886
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,120
It could be your shopping 
habits, your financial and 

887
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:07,600
social status, education, 
hereditary genomics, fitness and

888
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,720
uh, and more. 
Umm, feeding into that sort of 

889
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:15,600
corporate superstate, umm. 
So according to NHSX, from 2020 

890
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:21,720
to 2025, genomic medicine will 
be embedded into routine care. 

891
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,680
So let's just have a look at the
future of health in this little 

892
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:35,040
video, please. 
In the decades ahead, healthcare

893
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,560
will undergo dramatic 
transformations. 

894
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,880
Medicine will become more 
precise, value will shape care 

895
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,080
delivery, patients will become 
empowered consumers, and 

896
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,680
digitalization will transform 
every facet of healthcare. 

897
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:55,000
Patients will have a digital 
twin, a customised computational

898
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,560
model of themselves, enabling Dr
Clive to anticipate illness, 

899
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:04,080
guide therapy options and 
predict outcomes of procedures. 

900
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:14,040
Expanding precision medicine 
will enable radiologists to make

901
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,080
highly specific diagnosis for 
Steven without unwarranted 

902
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,280
variations. 
AI powered decision models fed 

903
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,040
by vast population health data 
will improve diagnostic 

904
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:35,800
accuracy. 
Healthcare will become 

905
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:40,360
anticipatory, organised around 
Paula's medical conditions and 

906
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,800
available around the clock, 
transforming care delivery. 

907
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,320
Multidisciplinary, highly 
productive care teams, 

908
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:52,240
structured around patients and 
their needs will collaboratively

909
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:59,000
deliver the full cycle of care. 
All interactions with John will 

910
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,400
become convenient, personalised 
and compassionate, improving 

911
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:08,880
patient experience supported by 
real time monitoring and 

912
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,720
guidance. 
John will become more empowered 

913
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:16,320
and have physical and virtual 
access to care when and where he

914
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,320
needs it. 
At Siemens Health in Ears, we 

915
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,400
are enabling healthcare 
providers to increase value, 

916
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,200
shaping the future of 
healthcare. 

917
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,640
Well, um, that, that's, uh, that
all sounds very, very, very 

918
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:38,920
slick and wonderful, but, um, 
we'll, we'll see because, uh, in

919
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:44,760
short, you know that some of 
these GP practises are bringing 

920
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,560
in a digital triage and workflow
management system. 

921
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,680
You know, these platforms 
they're buying in. 

922
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,480
I'm going to focus on one called
Anima today, but there's other 

923
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,400
ones like hero, umm, and they're
being rolled out across GP 

924
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,680
practises in the UK. 
It's function. 

925
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,440
It's to streamline how 
streamline how patient requests 

926
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,640
are received and prioritised and
managed. 

927
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,800
In short, Anima functions as a 
central intake and triage system

928
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,120
designed to replace or 
supplement traditional online 

929
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:18,160
consultation tools like the the 
E consult that they have now. 

930
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,440
And it will, it will reduce 
staff workload. 

931
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:26,040
So I think we're seeing a way of
getting rid of people by 

932
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:31,040
automating parts of the process.
So Anima Health was founded in 

933
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:39,160
2021 by Shanika Sharma, who's ex
McKinsey and Sean Pang, and he's

934
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,480
ex Palantir, He's an ex Palantir
engineer. 

935
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,760
Palantir, obviously, you know, 
is all wrapped up in U.S. 

936
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:50,360
defence and it's an AI company 
tied to the CIA data analytics. 

937
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,800
So it's not just about helping 
GPS, it's about halving, 

938
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,320
harvesting structures, 
population health data. 

939
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:02,800
So anyway, it's it's got big, 
big backing by Silicon Valley. 

940
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:08,640
So we're looking at it and you 
know, in the terms of how, you 

941
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:13,280
know, this digital 
transformation is and human comp

942
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,720
computation basically. 
So I'm looking at this as 

943
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:23,040
feeding into agenda, Agenda 
20/20/30, which is the third 

944
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,120
goal, which is good health and 
well being. 

945
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:30,160
Basically the UN wants universal
centralised health data to 

946
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:36,200
monitor populations, digital 
IDECBDCS and this all feeds into

947
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,680
the what they call the equity of
care present, presented as 

948
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,400
reducing GP workload and 
improving access. 

949
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,960
But in reality it's 
standardising patient 

950
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,320
interaction into algorithms, 
depersonalising care and 

951
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:56,080
tightening central control. 
So we really do need to make our

952
00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:01,080
parallel systems and and and and
focus on natural healthcare 

953
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:06,480
because I this to me is is is 
really is, is really kind of, 

954
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,520
yeah, a bit too, too, too 
pervasive. 

955
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,680
Thank you. 
Absolutely, Sandy. 

956
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,720
And of course, something will 
come up at our York event in 

957
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,520
October, vast population health 
data, I think something we'll 

958
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,560
probably be able to discuss a 
little bit further in extra. 

959
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,800
So thank you very much for that.
Now just a very quick bulletin 

960
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:30,280
on farming, really prompted by 
the results of a survey by the 

961
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,840
Country Land Business 
Association, which is a poll 

962
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,520
only admittedly of 500 farmers. 
And I should remind you that 

963
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,840
there are over 200,000 holdings 
in the UK. 

964
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:43,400
But of those, 580% have told the
CLA that they don't think their 

965
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,840
business will survive for a 
further decade, while 60 have 

966
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,360
said they considered getting out
of farming altogether. 

967
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,160
Now this is said to be sort of 
in response to, most 

968
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:56,160
prominently, the Labor Party 
proposal to reinstate 

969
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,240
inheritance tax on agricultural 
land. 

970
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,480
Also, politically speaking, they
say that 30 percent, 36% of 

971
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,360
those polled indicated they'd 
vote reform at a general 

972
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:10,880
election, whilst 38% 
Conservative and 0% for Labour. 

973
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,880
Now what this is suggesting, and
I think particularly in light of

974
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,320
the campaign that's been 
mentioned on on UK column in 

975
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:21,160
recent weeks surrounding the 
sort of flags going up all over 

976
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,720
the country and what it is to be
British and all that sort of 

977
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,560
thing. 
It's easy to see how this could 

978
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,440
become a battleground. 
And of course Big Food and 

979
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,440
supermarkets have hijacked this 
to a large extent by putting 

980
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,640
union flags on produce to 
suggest that by buying British 

981
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,840
you are actually supporting 
farmers, which of course is not 

982
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,600
really the case because the 
results are in fact only good 

983
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,880
for corporations, not the 
environment, not the farmers and

984
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:52,520
really not you now associated 
with this, or at least in terms 

985
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,360
of subsidy. 
The government putting out 

986
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,960
information on their future, 
sorry farming for the future. 

987
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,720
And they the jargon is 
staggeringly confusing. 

988
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,480
But they're talking about 
phasing out subsidies for land 

989
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,560
ownership and tenure and 
improving the financial offer. 

990
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:11,000
And they really go on to 
describe or at least try to 

991
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,480
describe their sustainable 
farming incentive and how it can

992
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,280
work for you. 
And on their particular website 

993
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,240
they're saying that their choice
of actions that can reward and 

994
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,320
support sustainable food 
production and all the rest of 

995
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,320
it. 
And the paragraph below says we 

996
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:29,040
are not currently accepting any 
new SFI applications. 

997
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,400
Of course the government on the 
Defra blog talking about having 

998
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,320
committed over 5 billion over 
the next two years for 

999
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:40,840
sustainable farming and nature 
recovery and that they would be 

1000
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,960
encouraging farmers to get into 
as many environmental Land 

1001
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,680
Management schemes as possible. 
Of course not possible because 

1002
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,720
the scheme's closed. 
And again, just for context, 5 

1003
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,560
billion would last 10 days 
worked in the hands of the 

1004
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,320
National Health Service. 
So frankly, the sooner the 

1005
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,120
people and the farming community
appreciate that the way out of 

1006
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,480
this mess is to cut both 
government and the corporate 

1007
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,680
giants out, and this is by 
trading directly with one 

1008
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,880
another, the better to come on 
that. 

1009
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,160
And we're going to finish off 
with something that may or may 

1010
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,000
not be scary. 
Well, I think it's very scary. 

1011
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,000
It's very, very scary because 
here comes Stratus. 

1012
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,880
Yes, Caroni is back. 
We had the original and the 

1013
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,000
best. 
Then we got a new variant and 

1014
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,040
then we got the Brazilian even 
at one point. 

1015
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,440
But now we have Stratus. 
Yeah. 

1016
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,200
And how do I know this? 
Well, because the Plymouth 

1017
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,040
Herald has told me, let's have a
look. 

1018
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,360
New covic strain symptoms that 
are easily missed as variant 

1019
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,760
spreading fast, Charles, because
it's so ineffective and so 

1020
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,000
unlikely to cause any harm 
whatsoever that you won't even 

1021
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,480
notice that you have it. 
So you better take one of those 

1022
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:54,680
lateral flow tests to make sure 
and, uh, then take six months 

1023
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,000
off work. 
If you do actually catch it, 

1024
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:58,840
that's probably what you need to
do. 

1025
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,200
And thank goodness for the 
Plymouth Herald, otherwise how 

1026
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,280
would anyone ever know that? 
How would we know, frankly? 

1027
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,000
Yes, Um, right. 
Well, that brings us to for the 

1028
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,600
end of the programme almost. 
I would just like to remind you 

1029
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,000
that we have Germ and Laura 
Logan at 7:00 this evening. 

1030
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,880
Mike and I will be speaking at 
1:00 tomorrow recorded from the 

1031
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,560
Hope event. 
And of course, we will be 

1032
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,960
staying on for extra time in a 
few minutes. 

1033
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,880
So if you're a member, please do
join us for that. 

1034
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,720
If you're not a member, please 
do consider it. 

1035
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:30,200
And finally, don't forget that 
there are frankly unlimited 

1036
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,280
tickets available for the live 
stream for our October event. 

1037
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,600
So please do join us for what 
will be an incredible day. 

1038
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,680
Now, Many thanks to Mike for 
joining me in the studio and to 

1039
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,440
Vanessa and Sandy for joining by
Livelink. 

1040
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:45,800
Thank you very much for 
watching. 

1041
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,040
And if we don't see you at extra
time, we will look forward to 

1042
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,160
seeing you at 1:00 on Friday. 
Thanks very much. 

1043
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:51,640
Bye. 
Bye.
