1 00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:11,630 Good afternoon. Today is Friday the 3rd of 2 00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:17,550 October 2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News. 3 00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:20,750 I'm your host, Brian Garish. Delighted to be joined today by 4 00:00:21,190 --> 00:00:24,150 Patrick Henningson. Patrick is in France. 5 00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:28,870 He'll be coming in on Livelink. And also we have Mark Anderson 6 00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:32,560 who will be joining us on Livelink from Texas. 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,240 So welcome to both my guest presenters. 8 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,920 Now, as you can see, the weather is decidedly poor here in UK, 9 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,880 but not to worry about that because we've got lots of hot 10 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,720 political news for you. We're going to be covering the 11 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,000 Manchester Synagogue attacks. We're going to be having a look 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,920 at the Greta Thunberg flotilla and Israel. 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,400 We'll be, of course, covering the banks and the international 14 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,600 banking system because nothing happens without big money. 15 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,480 We're also going to be looking at the Paloma Shimarani inquest 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:15,280 and the some of the more hidden fallout from the tragic inquest 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,320 that's just trade taken place. We'll be also covering Trump's 18 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,280 loving with FOIA. We're going to be having a 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,720 little look at the French, Ukrainian relations and and 20 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,600 indeed politics around Moldova. We'll be taking a look about 21 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,760 what Prince William is talking about, which is change in the 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,280 monarchy. And also we've got some 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,040 interesting footage of people actually now starting to really 24 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,080 get out to say we are going to change and stop what is 25 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,960 happening with regard to Keir Starmer's UK politics. 26 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,120 So let's kick off with a little bit of background to where Keir 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,280 Starmer was before he was pulled back to UK for his emergency 28 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,280 COBRA meeting and he was present in Copenhagen. 29 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,720 This is just part of the the media release, the 7th meeting 30 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,919 of the European Political community. 31 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,600 It looks fairly dull from a media sense, but actually if we 32 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280 bring in one of the photographs, we can see that there were some 33 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,240 extraordinary images and a lot of body language between some 34 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,040 pretty powerful people. So in the picture on screen, 35 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,440 we've got what we're describing is the EU head teacher Ursula 36 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,520 von der Leyen, who's admonishing a rather petulant trainee, 37 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Italian Prime Minister Georgie Maloney. 38 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,840 So just have a look at the expression on the faces of those 39 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,960 two women. And of course, whilst we might 40 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,520 be laughing, this is where the deep power politics gets played 41 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,920 out. But let's bring in our very own 42 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:54,520 Keir Starmer. No, he isn't wearing some sort 43 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,840 of flowery headdress, that's just a trick of the camera. 44 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,320 But we've got we've got some interesting expressions here 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,400 with Queen Mary of Denmark sitting as the Rose between the 46 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,480 two poisonous thorns, which is Starmer there to her right and 47 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,800 Macron to her left. But yeah, trick of the camera. 48 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,960 We should also pay attention to the fact, of course, this was 49 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,280 banqueting. This was fine wine and dining 50 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,480 while the rest of the mayhem goes on in the world. 51 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,960 Now Keir Starmer had to cut his little visit short because of 52 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,280 the synagogue attack and he came straight back for a cobra 53 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,040 meeting. Now tragic events that have 54 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,920 taken place in Manchester. The latest is that we've got one 55 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,960 victim that is now being apparently sorry, it's now being 56 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,400 said about 1 victim that they were hit by police gunfire. 57 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920 So we'll wait to see what information comes out about 58 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,680 that. We've got 2 Jewish men killed by 59 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,480 being hit by a car. We've got three people in 60 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600 hospital and we've got three people arrested. 61 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Now this is just a little clip that was taken as the event was 62 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,160 taking place. It's it's widely available on 63 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,839 the media, but we'll just bring it in to set the scene 1 64 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,640 casualty on the ground and the police armed and very 65 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,200 aggressive. Let's have a look we've. 66 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:37,160 Killed him. Everybody else, get back. 67 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,200 If you're not involved, move back. 68 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,800 Get away. Somebody. 69 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:44,840 Everybody else, you have to fall. 70 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:49,880 Go. Away so we'll say dangerous 71 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,720 situation but also at the time the police claiming that one of 72 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,160 the man prostate on the ground was also had explosives with 73 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,400 him. So that warm warning. 74 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,120 Let's just have a little look at this clip of Keir Starmer. 75 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,600 The attack in Master this morning is absolutely shocking 76 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,480 and all of our thoughts with those affected. 77 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,200 I'm on my way back to London. When I arrive I will chair an 78 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,640 emergency COBRA meeting. I'm already able to say that 79 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,920 additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues 80 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,080 across the country and we will do everything to keep our Jewish 81 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,240 community safe. I spoke to Mark Gardner of the 82 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,400 CST and Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester and and I want to 83 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,280 thank the emergency services for the speed of their response. 84 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,920 So we'll say a tragic attack on the Jewish community there. 85 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,800 But Keir Starmer adamant he's going to do everything possible. 86 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:55,080 Remember David Cameron saying that his belief in Israel was 87 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,880 unshakeable? Israel appears to come first, 88 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,640 but Stormer then started quite a chain of media announcements 89 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,920 about this attack, so we've got another clip. 90 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,040 Good evening. Earlier today, on Yom Kippur, 91 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,120 the holiest day for the Jewish community, a vile individual 92 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,560 committed a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they 93 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,280 are Jews and attacked Britain because of our values. 94 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,160 So many Jewish families first came to this country as a place 95 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,240 of refuge, fleeing the greatest evil ever inflicted. 96 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,040 Honour people and Britain welcomed them. 97 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440 Communities like the one attacked in Manchester provided 98 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,080 safety but also the security. That comes from a promise that 99 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,280 this is a country that stands up to hatred and that we don't just 100 00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:01,760 provide refuge, we provide a home for so many Jewish 101 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,920 families. That is the story of Britain. 102 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,320 But Britain is also a country where Jewish buildings, 103 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,960 synagogues, even schools require round the clock protection where 104 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,880 dedicated specialist security is necessary because of the daily 105 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,040 threat of anti-Semitic hatred. Today's horrific incident shows 106 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,160 why. So my personal reply to that is 107 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,080 I've never heard Keir Starmer with this level of passion about 108 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,400 defending the rest of the people in the UK. 109 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,920 So as far as I'm concerned, this is highly biased reporting and 110 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,920 that doesn't detract from the seriousness of the attack or the 111 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,080 suffering of the Jewish community in Manchester. 112 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,440 Patrick, just bring you in with us very quickly because Keir 113 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,040 Starmer is clearly very, very motivated by this. 114 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,400 We haven't seen this passion in relation to the 10s of thousands 115 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,360 of people killed in Gaza or the ongoing slaughter in Ukraine, 116 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,800 for example. Sure. 117 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,480 I think it's personally I'm looking at the forensic side of 118 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,760 the case. It's too early, there's not a 119 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,000 lot of details and certainly would want to know more about 120 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,320 the assailant, the suspect, the motivation, the background that 121 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,560 that will all be very interesting and perhaps 122 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,400 revealing as to what we're actually looking at here. 123 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,320 So that's what that's where my eyes are. 124 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,760 That's where my concern is. But, you know, considering 125 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,919 what's happening right now in the Middle East and the world's 126 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,760 eyes are on the Gaza Strip, there's an ongoing genocide 127 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,880 happening as we speak right now in 2025. 128 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,080 And, you know, some world leaders are paying attention to 129 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,400 this and, you know, trying to intervene to stop Israel, slow 130 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,880 them down. Colombian President Gustav 131 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,800 Petrov, for instance, is talking about deploying armed military 132 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,000 personnel to act as peacekeepers. 133 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,280 They're talking about sanctioning Israel. 134 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,560 So 100 / 150 countries in the in the UN actually condemning 135 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,440 Israel's actions and voting to recognize a Palestinian state. 136 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,760 So certainly that's worthy of a press conference, I would think 137 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,040 from any world leader, especially AG 7 leader or a, a 138 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,280 leading NATO country. So yes, it's it, it's, it's 139 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,120 certainly Keir Starmer's wheelhouse, if you will, 140 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,240 politically, he's there. He's, he's always reiterated his 141 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,480 support, his unflinching support for the Jewish community and 142 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,080 concerns for the, the Jewish community in Israel and so 143 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,320 forth. So no one's really surprised by 144 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,040 the press coverage and and the reaction after this. 145 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,960 Patrick, thank you very much. We'll bring you back in again 146 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,200 shortly. But just to finish this segment 147 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,080 to the news, in the first clip with Starmer, he mentioned CST. 148 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,760 Now many people will be unaware of what that that is. 149 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,640 Let's just have a look at this still from the BBC clip. 150 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,800 If you look in the background, you can see a man with CST on 151 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,320 his jacket. And what we're talking about is 152 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,040 this organization, which is essentially a private security 153 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,120 force protecting solely Jewish interests, are very, very 154 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,440 powerful and working closely with the UK police and 155 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,160 intelligence services. And apparently they are working 156 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,120 to assist the police in tackling hate crime across the board and 157 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,120 preventing terrorism. They operate a database where I 158 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,160 went to have a look and see if I could find out how many Jewish 159 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,360 people have actually died in UK as a result of terror attacks. 160 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,040 And whilst this organization does have databases so it talks 161 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,320 about a methodical insight into chronology, sequence and details 162 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,000 of UK terror attacks and plots. It talks about UK 163 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000 counterterrorism policing and the UK Security Service 164 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,400 providing updated figures. But but it's all a bit woolly. 165 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880 It says the absence of a public record makes it difficult for 166 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,560 researchers to look for information on terrorism. 167 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,760 And then it boasts that CSTS databases should help stimulate 168 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,160 A constructive discussion on terrorism trends. 169 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,240 So this is not just logging what's happening to the Jewish 170 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680 community. This is about driving public 171 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,680 opinion. And if you have a look at the 172 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:48,080 databases, I tried just to search for the number of Jewish 173 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,240 people who've who have unfortunately died as a result 174 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,640 of terror attacks. I tried a number of combinations 175 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,120 of information, but as the as the database works, what you 176 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,480 find is it doesn't bring up specific information about the 177 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Jewish community. It spreads it over jihadist and 178 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,640 other terrorism, right wing terrorism, etcetera. 179 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,760 So this blurs your ability to be able to get detail out and I was 180 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,760 unable to establish how many Jewish individuals have died as 181 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:29,880 a result of terrorism in UK from 2013 to 20 to 2025. 182 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,040 So I'm just going to post over this that it does seem that 183 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,440 these databases are blurring the lines between attacks on the 184 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,960 Jewish community and other so-called terrorist or extremist 185 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,640 attacks. Why this is, I think a lot more 186 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,840 questions need to be asked. But of course, across the board, 187 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,160 we're seeing now wall to wall coverage about the Manchester 188 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,280 attack almost blanking out other events in the world. 189 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,920 Well, if that's what's been happening here in UK, Patrick, 190 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,600 let's bring you back in with us because you've been having a 191 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,120 look at the the flotilla, Greta Thunberg's flotilla. 192 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,840 What's been happening around that? 193 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,080 Yeah, thanks, Brian. It it's not actually Greta 194 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,280 Thunberg's flotilla, it's the global Sumud flotilla. 195 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,200 There's over 500 humanitarians and activists from around the 196 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,680 world, one of which is Greta Thunberg, along with many 197 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:31,240 others, including many from the UK and Ireland as well. 198 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,200 We'll talk about some of those individuals in a moment. 199 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:39,120 But global Sumud, Sumud in Arabic means perseverance, it 200 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040 means steadfastness. So it's interesting that they've 201 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,320 used that term. But what's interesting, Brian, 202 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,560 about this is the mainstream coverage. 203 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,280 And here, this is Reuters. So CNN, Reuters, they they've 204 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,080 all finally covered the even covered the fact that Israel was 205 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,880 launching drone attacks in international waters and even in 206 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,160 Greek territorial waters, if I'm not mistaken, against some of 207 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520 the flotilla ships over the last week or so. 208 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,560 And there's Greta giving her final one of her final video 209 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,080 just there. All of the activists uploaded 210 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,040 kind of, if you will, last words before they were apprehended. 211 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,600 So those were already ready to go. 212 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640 Some of them actually did it with their life jackets on as 213 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,520 the IDF we're boarding their ships. 214 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,400 So Israel interdicted, seized, you know, kidnapped, abducted 215 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,720 all of the people on board all of the ships, taking all the 216 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,480 ships, I think in total 40 boats. 217 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,720 We'll look at the numbers in a moment here, but here are some 218 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,560 of the details we'll bring up on screen. 219 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,720 Israel faced international condemnation and protests on 220 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,000 Thursday after its military intercepted almost all of the 40 221 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,680 boats in this wave of the flotilla. 222 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,320 And they're carrying aid to Gaza. 223 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,240 And they took captive more than 450 foreign activists, 224 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,800 humanitarians, including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg. 225 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,520 So I think because Greta was on board, that's probably one of 226 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,840 the reasons why this got so much mainstream coverage and because 227 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,120 she's by far the most high profile activist individual on 228 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,800 there. So from that point of view, from 229 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,800 there, from the organization and the effort of the campaign's 230 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,640 point of view, I think that was probably the a positive thing 231 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,400 here. Now we've broken down some of 232 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,480 the details and granular analysis of this at 21st Century 233 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Wire, the headline Israel, the Pirates of the Mediterranean. 234 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,120 It's going to only be described as a massive act of piracy on 235 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,280 the high seas and we'll look at the international law in a 236 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,000 moment. But here, here's a video clip. 237 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,640 We'll bring this up on on screen. 238 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,600 And this is interesting. So this here's here we have 239 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,160 footage of which I'll I'll speak over the top of, but here we 240 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,640 have footage of the idea of actually boarding, actually 241 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,800 boarding one one of the ships. So they all had CCTV cameras 242 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,760 that were live streaming. The boats were very well 243 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,240 prepared as you can see the idea for coming up here on this 244 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,360 particular vessel. And so this is how it kind of 245 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,800 went. And so over the course of 14 246 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:21,520 hours, IDF forces seized, illegally seized the boats, 247 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,880 impounded all the humanitarian aid on board, including baby 248 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,720 formula and things like this, you know, just things that you 249 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,080 can't get, including fresh water in Gaza here. 250 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520 And you can see this is one of the the parts where they're 251 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,280 actually boarding. What you'll find here towards 252 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,960 the end of this clip is interesting. 253 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,640 They basically stormed the boats and held the humanitarians at 254 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,440 gunpoint. They had their weapons drawn and 255 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,160 fingers more almost on the trigger. 256 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,720 I, I didn't take a close enough look, but as you can see on this 257 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,680 footage here, it'll sort of advance in a moment towards 258 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,200 that, that point where you can see with the, with the actual 259 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,280 weapons drawn as they get onto the ship, pointing the barrels 260 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,000 of their, the muscles of their guns, automatic weapons in the 261 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000 faces, in the backs of the heads in some cases of some of the 262 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,319 humanitarians and people on board this ship. 263 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,960 Now these are people from European countries, South 264 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,359 America, from Asia, from the United States, from Northern 265 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,839 Ireland, from the Republic of Ireland, from from Great Britain 266 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:33,080 and from North Africa as well, including Arabic Arab members as 267 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,320 well from Arab countries. So it's, it's, that's, that's 268 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,400 what's happening. It's absolutely incredible. 269 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,000 Now there is an amazing piece of footage, Brian Tiago Avila, who 270 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,840 is from Brazil, He was on one of the earlier individual boats 271 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,080 that basically got got seized, I think the Magdalene. 272 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:58,800 And he was incarcerated and cap captive in the Israeli gulag was 273 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,200 released, went back home and he came back on the global Sumud 274 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,160 with many more boats. And this is when the IDF are 275 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:11,440 hailing his boat and this the you'll hear his reply to the 276 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,880 Israeli person, the Israeli person at the other end with an 277 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,240 American suburbian accent, which is something in itself. 278 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,400 But listen to his. I mean, it's a powerful, 279 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,240 powerful statement he made to the Israelis. 280 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,960 Here we've got the audio clip which we can watch an. 281 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,560 Active war zone If you could an attempt to breach the naval 282 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,160 blockade, we will stop your vessel and act to confiscate it 283 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,040 through legal proceedings in court bear full responsibility 284 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,080 for your actions. Say that we are entering an 285 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,360 active war zone. You're saying that we're 286 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,000 entering a place where you're committing war crimes. 287 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,360 This is against international law. 288 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:57,560 Once again, the International Court of Justice made a 289 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,960 provisional ruling that any attempt to hinder humanitarian 290 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,680 mission to Gaza, it's prohibited by international law and is 291 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080 complying with the request to make you accountable for the 292 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,480 crime of genocide. The International Criminal Court 293 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,880 has your Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under an arrest 294 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,080 warrant for the crime of starving children and starving 295 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,480 people to death, using starvation as and famine as a 296 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,080 weapon of war. Therefore, it's a moral duty to 297 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,600 continue sailing. It's our moral duty to refuse 298 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,760 any attempt of an occupying force to control humanitarian 299 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,240 aid for the Palestinian people in Gaza who have the right of 300 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,840 their sovereignty, who have the right of their self 301 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,280 determination and to control their own borders. 302 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:52,200 Therefore, we do not recognize you as a legitimate agent to 303 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,280 control any attempt to bring aid to the Palestinian people in 304 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,200 Gaza. We request you to stand down, to 305 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,320 do not commit another war crime among so many that you've been 306 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,120 committing, and to stand down, do not engage with our peaceful, 307 00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:11,560 nonviolent, humanitarian solidarity mission for the 308 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,040 Palestinian people in Gaza. I advise you again. 309 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,880 So as you can see, I mean, a powerful statement there I that 310 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,120 will go down in history and in my book anyway, as one of the 311 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:28,200 greatest sort of confrontations. They're really telling the 312 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,640 Israelis where things are at now. 313 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,080 We just do just for prudence jurisprudence, Brian here, we'll 314 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,000 pull up the United Nations Convention as a law of the sea. 315 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760 So people know they can go to that's page seven of the table 316 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,640 of contents and that will link you to this documents available 317 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,200 online. Just a Google search there and 318 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,760 also just on terms of the territory waters, these boats, 319 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,800 most of them were, were were seized about 70 to 100 nautical 320 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,360 miles off the coast of Israeli controlled waters of occupied 321 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,600 Palestine here. And we'll just blow up this, 322 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,400 this point here, territorial sea up to a limit not exceeding 12 323 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,560 nautical miles. So clearly Israel's in violation 324 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,920 of all international law and the law of the sea. 325 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,040 And I, I will add as well. And this was relayed to us. 326 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,920 We were in touch and talking to two of the boats and three 327 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560 members of the flotilla, including Doctor Frank Romano 328 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,600 and also the the journalist Yader Madarelli. 329 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,040 She is an Italian journalist who's also a contributor at 21st 330 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,920 Century wire.com. She was on the Metech boat along 331 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,920 with the Irish comedian and performing artist Tag Hickey. 332 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,640 And so they were able to relay some of this information to us. 333 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,080 Israel had sent a message to all of these boats to go to the port 334 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,200 of Ashkelon and they said you will not be harmed. 335 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,320 We will take your humanitarian aid and distribute it to the 336 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,440 people of Gaza. But because certain people had 337 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,400 had had a very violent experience with the Israelis 338 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,880 before, they said they didn't trust them and the made a 339 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,760 decision not to take the Israeli offer to go to the Israeli port 340 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,760 of Ashkelon. And they said, no, we're 341 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,800 bringing humanitarian aid, we're within international law, we're 342 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,920 going to Gaza. And so they did. 343 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,520 So that was an interesting detail here. 344 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,160 And we'll this is a press release here. 345 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,600 And this was from the flotilla. This is from their legal 346 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,480 representative in the UK. And they're saying Global Sumot 347 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,200 flotilla is urging UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to take 348 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,560 immediate steps to ensure their safety and security in the face 349 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,520 of attacks. And they add it is urgent that 350 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,920 the UK government joins Spain and Italy and ensuring the 351 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,600 security of the flotilla. Now, that came just a few days 352 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,960 ago. Obviously, things have changed 353 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,360 now. And this is quite extraordinary 354 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:54,080 here. One boat nearly made it through. 355 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,520 And you can see people on the beach here, Brian, in Gaza, on 356 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,680 the Strip. And the boat called the Makino. 357 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,400 The Makino made it 9 miles off the coast before it. 358 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,800 It was eventually seized by the IDF, by the Israeli forces. 359 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,600 It nearly made it through. So they nearly overwhelmed the 360 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,040 Israeli naval assets. And this the people were just 361 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,960 hoping that some of this aid would make it through. 362 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,320 And we have a video, one of the young girls, her name is Shaheed 363 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,720 Shaheed on on shore. And she she she released this 364 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,760 video of her drawing a picture of the flotilla coming is quite 365 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,160 a moving video. We just thought we'd share it 366 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,800 with you because it's just extraordinary. 367 00:23:39,800 --> 00:24:14,640 But go ahead and roll that. None. 368 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,280 So it's pretty extraordinary. And also we're going to add here 369 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,160 that there is another wave of flotilla ships coming from 370 00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,360 another sister organization, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition here. 371 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,480 Reuters is running the live stream from these boats, which 372 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,160 to me is incredible that that's actually happening. 373 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,280 So they're on the way. There's a number of ships in 374 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,800 there. And there's other flotillas that 375 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,600 are being launched from Turkey as well. 376 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,960 They're heading to Gaza. So we'll see what happens. 377 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,480 They've got a list here of some of the new ships. 378 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,520 We'll put that up on screen. People can go to the Global 379 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,600 Summit of Flotilla account. We've got the the the X account 380 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,480 here. We'll bring their account page 381 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,400 up on screen next. But that's where people go for 382 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,880 updates. You can go and find all of their 383 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,760 stuff there. And yeah, I thought I'd just add 384 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,600 here, we'll bring this up on screen. 385 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,760 Israeli Navy seizes flotilla ships. 386 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,600 That was a previous slide anyway. 387 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,920 But while they're while they're pounding, while they're pounding 388 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,760 Gaza and basically destroying whole blocks, residential 389 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,000 blocks, that's what's actually happening. 390 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,760 So it's, it's an incredible situation there. 391 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,640 And we we gave a live stream interview here where we'll put 392 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,080 up on screen on the Sunday wire on Sunday. 393 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,080 We spoke to Yara Madarelli and Tag Hickey on the live via 394 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,080 Starlink. And you can look at the, you 395 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,120 can, you can look at the, the, the, the full interview up at 396 00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:48,800 21st Century wire.com. It's just advance one more. 397 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,520 And you can see their faces there. 398 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,120 There they are. And so that was a great 399 00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,240 conversation. That's the last live stream 400 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,280 interview they did before they were seized. 401 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,120 They're currently and incarcerated in Israel. 402 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:02,880 So that's where that story is at the moment. 403 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,160 It's an, it's an extraordinary story, but we'll, we'll find out 404 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,720 more hopefully by the end of today and by Monday. 405 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,200 Patrick, thank you very much for that report. 406 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,640 There's a lot to discuss there. We'll save some of it for UK 407 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,280 column extra after today's news. But yeah, lots of questions to 408 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,400 be asked about actions in territory, in international 409 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,360 waters. Mark, let's bring you on. 410 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:32,680 Welcome to UK column news today. I'll just say that one thing is 411 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,160 for sure that as the wars go on in the Middle East, as in 412 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,840 Ukraine and in Ukraine, it's the international banking system 413 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,000 rubbing their hands with Glee as more and more profits are 414 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,080 accrued from the war, the violence, the ammunition, the 415 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,120 munitions. And not surprising, I think that 416 00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:54,560 you focused in on Mark Carney today. 417 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,200 Indeed, keeping my eye on the think tanks like usual, they 418 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,200 again kind of cement the relationship between the 419 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,840 plutocratic class and the political class, Always an 420 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760 important thing to watch. This time I went to the good old 421 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,080 Council on Foreign Relations itself, not its Chicago cousin 422 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,560 and not Chatham House and Mark Carney, your friend and mine, 423 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,400 the neoliberal banker, the emblematic face of international 424 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,480 banking, formerly Bank of Canada, formerly Bank of 425 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,680 England. He's now PM of Canada, replacing 426 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,440 Trudeau of course, and he spoke with Michael Froman very 427 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,840 recently this past week about the foreign policy of Canada. 428 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:39,800 And briefly I'll before I get into the fact that they talked 429 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,240 about the two state solution and Carney's apparent support of it. 430 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,760 They got into a little bit more about the big trade deals and 431 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,720 some of the trade intentions. And let's put this on the on the 432 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,480 screen in terms of Canada's foreign policy economically. 433 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,480 Mr. Carney touched on the existing comprehensive and 434 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,520 progressive agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership, the CPTPP. 435 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,320 It's an existing thing, but it it took all the way from 2006 up 436 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,560 to the relative present to get it all buttoned together back 437 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,600 and forth over the years. And it's focusing like 438 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,320 digitally, like the digitally foundation, they're focusing on 439 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,400 the Indo Pacific. Now the world's leading region 440 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,560 of economic growth is offering big opportunities for trade and 441 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:28,920 expansion, things like that. And the the UK is reaching the 442 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,120 one year mark. Let's put that on the screen. 443 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,120 And as of December 15th this year, the UK will will have 444 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:38,800 reached a one year mark. If it was a little less than a 445 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,160 year ago that the UK officially became a member of this trade 446 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,640 partnership, that's 11 or so nations, counting Canada and 447 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,840 Brunei and Japan and several others. 448 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,560 People can read that from the show notes and this is marking a 449 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,560 significant achievement for the UK as the first non founding and 450 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,080 1st European country to join this trade partnership. 451 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,360 The UK is now the second largest economy in this group after 452 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,920 Japan. And I'll mention too that this 453 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400 ties into last week. We'll show this just as a 454 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,240 reminder when I did an update on the Ditchley Foundation having 455 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,280 just concluded another one of their meetings. 456 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,360 They're also focusing in a slightly more military strategy 457 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,240 context on the Indo Pacific area. 458 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,840 So there's there's a lot of focus on on the Indo Pacific 459 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,600 area in terms of trade, in terms of policing the globe, things 460 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,480 like that. Now I have some video clips 461 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,880 because the conversation quickly turned to Gaza and Mr. Carney 462 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,600 briefly mentioned that they're going to expand trade within 463 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,960 Canada and reduce trade barriers and improve the regulatory 464 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,600 framework among the Canadian provinces. 465 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,560 And also the Canada, because of friction with the United States 466 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,840 is going to reach out to the European Union much more in 467 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,920 terms of trade and investments. Although Canada recognizes it 468 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,320 still needs to be in good standing with the US, US, 469 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,640 Mexico, Canada agreement that replaced NAFTA a few years ago 470 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,360 and that that tripartite or or trilateral agreement rather is 471 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,880 going to be reviewed again in 2026. 472 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,000 So Kearney does want to stay with good relations with the US 473 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,240 and Mexico for purposes of that agreement, even though he's 474 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,720 going to do more in in trade within Canada and with the 475 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080 European Union. And the European Union is 476 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,520 actually looking at joining that Trans Pacific partnership that I 477 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,600 just described. So that that's still in the in 478 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,400 the making. But Mr. Carney then told Michael 479 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,160 Froman of the CFR that he and Canada support A2 state 480 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,600 solution. Now how sincere and how 481 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,760 meaningful this is remains to be seen. 482 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,040 But let's listen to a little bit about what Mr. Carney had to say 483 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,200 about it had to say, excuse me about a two state solution. 484 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,160 I believe yesterday Canada joined some European countries 485 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480 in recognizing Palestinian statehood. 486 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,400 What do you expect that to accomplish? 487 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,200 Well, I think the first thing to say is this is consistent with 488 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,960 our policy. Since 1947, since 19, every 489 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,720 Canadian government, whether of whatever political stripe, has 490 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,800 supported A2 state solution as as many other countries have 491 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,400 what we have been seeing. 1st. Because of the acts of these 492 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,640 Highness acts of Hamas. But then other in, in terms of 493 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,040 response is that that prospect is receding before our eyes. 494 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,720 OK, So the idea of waiting until all the conditions are in place 495 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,880 for a, a free and viable Palestinian state committed to 496 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,880 peace and security side by side with the state of Israel. 497 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,680 What what I've called a Zionist Palestinian state, which is what 498 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:06,880 we want those conditions being in place, keeping the concept 499 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,840 there on the shelf when it is the avowed policy of the Israeli 500 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,080 government that there will never be a Palestinian state. 501 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,960 That is the policy of the current Israeli government and 502 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:23,400 their actions are consistent with with that policy. 503 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,560 And I can just concentrate on what's going on in the West Bank 504 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,840 without touching Gaza. So what we, what we're looking 505 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:39,640 to accomplish is to, is to keep that front and center to be with 506 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,360 a host of influential but not decisive countries. 507 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,720 So we're alongside the Kingdom of Saudi, not in the 508 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,800 recognition, but as part of this process, Kingdom of Saudi 509 00:32:50,800 --> 00:33:00,720 Arabia, France, UK, Australia, Qatar, Egypt, others, Norway, 510 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:06,320 you know, actively trying to create conditions at a minimum 511 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,320 for a ceasefire obviously, and then a peace process. 512 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,920 That's that's part of that. Yeah, interestingly enough, and 513 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,000 it's worth mentioning, Michael Froman, the host, he happens to 514 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,560 be Jewish. There's a lot of Jewish 515 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,520 influence at the CFR. David Rubenstein is the head of 516 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,640 the board of directors, the chairman of the board of the 517 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,080 CFR. And so the the neoliberal wing 518 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,800 of of certain Jewish interests and the CFR in general, which is 519 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,240 globalist, generally speaking, is obviously much more 520 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,280 sympathetic to Gaza. Now, whether it's too little too 521 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,240 late or whether this is just for optics, just just for, you know, 522 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,360 public relations and maybe they're not real sincere or 523 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,680 maybe they're not real hopeful that it'll ever happen. 524 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,800 The two state solution, some of that remains to be seen. 525 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,760 We have one other, I believe shorter clip from Mark Carney 526 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,520 that sort of rounds out what he just got done saying, however. 527 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:13,679 We're under no illusions that this is any sort of panacea, but 528 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:18,800 it's necessary in our judgement. It's and the judgement of most 529 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:24,239 other countries in the world that we have to push on this now 530 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,639 because as I say, the the, the possibility in absolute 531 00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:32,159 violation of the UN Charter, in an absolute violation of 532 00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:34,840 international law of self determination for the 533 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,239 Palestinian peoples is, is is being erased. 534 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,840 So he is saying that the the window of opportunity is quickly 535 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239 closing. Now moving on, we have the 536 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,159 president emeritus of the CFR who also just happened to, you 537 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:53,960 know, grow up in in a Jewish heritage. 538 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,520 And he once considered being a Rabbi Richard Haass on foreign 539 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,200 affairs. He posted this article with a 540 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,720 rather interesting headline. A Palestinian state would be 541 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:09,720 good for Israel, but that had a pay pay window on it. 542 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,680 And so I found another article that was very similar in tone 543 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,800 and I got a couple quotes from the former president of the CFR 544 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,960 about this issue. The first one he said the 545 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,880 following regarding France, the UK, Canada and Australia 546 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,800 recognizing the state of Palestine. 547 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,800 Behind this move is deep frustration with what Israel is 548 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,600 doing in Gaza and the West Bank, with their own inability to 549 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,520 influence Israeli actions, those that want statehood for 550 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,920 Palestine, and with what is seen as US passivity and 551 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,600 unwillingness to reign in Israel, Mr. House went on to 552 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,640 say, and he also had this to say. 553 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,280 One problem is that, at least for the time being, the shift 554 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,320 towards statehood A2 state solution is just rhetorical. 555 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,880 The decision to recognize a Palestinian state does not 556 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,520 improve the prospect of ending the war in Gaza or actually 557 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,080 creating a viable Palestinian state. 558 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:14,640 So Mr. Haas is sounding a more pessimistic note on this, Brian. 559 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,160 But nevertheless, the the globalist community that usually 560 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,840 is somewhat pro Israel or kind of silent on the matter is being 561 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,640 a little more outspoken and we'll we'll see where that goes. 562 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,760 Meanwhile, of course, they're trying to juice up that 563 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,080 worldwide trade deal that is a ongoing holiday for the bankers 564 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,640 and those in the banking community. 565 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,480 So back to you. Mark, thank you very much. 566 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,120 My opinion on that Mark Carney speaking there was that he was 567 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,560 terrified that he might say the wrong thing and what came out 568 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,280 was effectively woeful, but he was very frightened of saying 569 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,400 the wrong thing and criticizing the very Zionist state which he 570 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,240 says needs to needs to be formed again. 571 00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:03,040 We'll come come on to this more in UK column extra now important 572 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,840 thing to say is a huge thank you to everybody that supports UK 573 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,600 column.

We've had some very interesting 597 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,480 comments. We're just talking in very quiet 598 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,600 terms about what's happening in Britain's military and we're 599 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:51,000 really asking a question. Does the country need military 600 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,200 people and should people be signing up with UK with EU KS 601 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,400 military? Have a look at that via the 602 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,600 website if you haven't already seen it. 603 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,840 We've also got another article up, A Paradise for Zionism, 604 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,480 Celtic Park in the 1990s and the 2000s. 605 00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:13,160 This interesting article. It's talking about the influence 606 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,680 of Zionism through sport. So not even sport is safe from 607 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,880 being used as a political tool. And lastly, we just remind 608 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:30,040 people that 1000 words where the subject of the painting is Katie 609 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160 Jo Murphin. That's now up on UK column, but 610 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,880 that is only available to UK column members. 611 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:44,000 Well, let's move on to the subject of the Paloma Shimrani 612 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,320 inquests Now. I'm going to label this straight 613 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,640 away a highly dangerous inquest for the nation in respect to 614 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,840 free will and justice. And with regard to today's news 615 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,400 headlines in the UK, personally I think that this was the most 616 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,840 important news. Now, in the first instance, it's 617 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,240 not in relation to what many have described as a very strange 618 00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,000 inquest. Some people have said they've 619 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,920 regarded as being manipulated. This is for discussion on 620 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,080 another time, but I wanted to draw people's attention to what 621 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:24,240 Kate, sorry with sorry, Marianna Spring had to say about this 622 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,280 inquest. She's talking, of course, about 623 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,280 Kate Chemerani and her daughter Paloma. 624 00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:33,640 And this is a big BBC article which is entitled Why We 625 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,760 Struggle to Protect the Young from Conspiracy Theorist 626 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,600 Parents. My goodness, this is an 627 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:47,800 extremely dangerous article by Marianna Spring, and it's 628 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,040 dangerous. It's very offensive still in the 629 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,800 way that she is used for the suffering as a family in order 630 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,640 to get her political points across. 631 00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:00,320 Why am I saying this? Well let's just have a look at 2 632 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,160 quotes here. This is the first one. 633 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,120 She's talking about the case. This has raised broader 634 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,280 questions around the influence and impact the conspiracy 635 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,920 theories held by parents, where beliefs stretch far beyond 636 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,080 genuine concerns can have on children, including adult 637 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,520 children, and in order to help protect children in the most 638 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,960 extreme cases, where should the line be drawn between child 639 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,600 protection and a parent's freedom to raise their child 640 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:36,600 according to their own beliefs? This is immensely dangerous and 641 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,560 people should remember that a few years ago children's 642 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:45,560 services were used in UK to attack a family because of their 643 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,920 political beliefs in supporting UKIP. 644 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,560 Kate Chemerani goes on. There's a sub headline trusting 645 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,800 parents. I beg your pardon? 646 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,600 Mariana Spring goes on to say trusting parents versus the 647 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,400 state. In theory children should be 648 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,000 protected. Any adult can raise concerns 649 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,720 about a child's well-being with a local authority, including if 650 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,400 there's a worry a child is being harmed by parental beliefs. 651 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,560 If it's then decided the child is at risk of harm, an 652 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,600 application can be made to the family court for orders to 653 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,840 protect them. But in reality, legal experts 654 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,120 tell me this is Marianna Spring. The threshold for intervention 655 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,200 is high. Well, of course, she knows 656 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,160 nothing about the so-called child protection system. 657 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,440 And I believe that what's happening here is an immensely 658 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,280 dangerous attack on parents for their beliefs, with the 659 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:46,080 implication that children will be taken from you as a family if 660 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,680 you do not have the correct political and social beliefs. 661 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,920 So I'll leave people to take that, to take that on board. 662 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:02,040 And let's just move on now with the subject of pharmaceuticals 663 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,720 and Bach. Let's bring you back. 664 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,320 And the subject is Trump and Pfizer's loving. 665 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,840 Well, I'm not altogether sure if it's 11, but there's a lot of 666 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,960 questions being asked now. This first slide is from the 667 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,240 Defender, the Children's Health Defense, which of course is RFK. 668 00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:24,520 The current HHSHHS heads former outfit. 669 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:30,040 So RFK now being part of Trump's cabinet, his own former outfit 670 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,160 is asking a lot of questions. The headline being secrecy over 671 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,120 the Trump Pfizer deal sparks a FOIA, sparks FOIA demands, 672 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,440 Freedom of Information demands and some public outcry. 673 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,320 Pfizer stock jumped Tuesday after CEO of Pfizer Albert Borla 674 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,040 and President Trump announced a deal to lower US drug prices and 675 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,840 invest 70 billion in domestic manufacturing. 676 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,760 And then Pfizer, at least for a time, would be relieved of any 677 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,200 tariff charges. So I'll also go on to share this 678 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,400 slide. It's very important. 679 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,160 I mark the important part in red. 680 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,720 No tariffs and Medicaid ready. Trump held a press conference 681 00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:10,920 with Borla 30 September. Under the deal, Trump will 682 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,000 refrain from imposing tariffs. It'll be Pfizer in turn, will 683 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,400 boost its domestic manufacturing, excuse me, make 684 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,480 its drugs available to Medicaid at a discounted rate and sell 685 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,240 its products directly to US patients at a discounted rate 686 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,080 via the yet to be launched government website Trump RX. 687 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,960 A rather curious development to say the least. 688 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,080 And this is from the same day. Just just so we can see what 689 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,200 they're saying. This is Pfizer's own press 690 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,360 release about the same deal Pfizer reaches landmark 691 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,800 agreement. They're calling it landmark and 692 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,880 historic. Those two words are being used 693 00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:51,120 with the US government to lower drug costs for American 694 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,240 patients. Now I'll mention here, Brian, 695 00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:57,560 that I I talked to a a long time American Free Press reader and 696 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:01,840 Blogger last night and a couple other people whose views are in 697 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,240 fact they're mostly MAGA people to a degree Trump supporters. 698 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,760 And they feel there's a lot of benefits here in terms of a 699 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,720 lowering drug prices because the idea is to make the Medicaid, 700 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,280 the Medicaid linked drug prices in the states comparable with 701 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,880 what what the drug prices that are paid in Europe. 702 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,920 Trump is seating seeking kind of an equilibrium or inequality 703 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,760 there. And they feel that's tantamount 704 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,360 or similar to giving a Social Security increase to some of 705 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,160 these senior citizens in the states. 706 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,520 If you lower their drug cost, that's similar to raising their 707 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,000 Social Security payments that that kind of indirect benefit. 708 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,480 There was also talk about that it is helpful that more jobs 709 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,160 will be created, that the drug companies, like them or not, are 710 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,880 part of the overall industrial base of any given nation. 711 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,000 So improving the job prospects in the states, better paying 712 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,480 jobs can be a plus that they see as well. 713 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,120 But there's also other questions, of course, in terms 714 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,520 of how this will affect vaccine policy. 715 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,800 Now on this press, this is drawn from the Pfizer press release. 716 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,160 Let's just show these quick bulleted items. 717 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,400 This historic landmark agreement provides certainty from tariffs 718 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,800 and clarity on pricing, which furthers Pfizer's ability to 719 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,720 expand investment in US based innovation and return 720 00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:29,960 manufacturing to the US. And Pfizer will fully focus on 721 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:34,560 delivering the next generation of cures, especially in cancer, 722 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:39,200 obesity, vaccines and inflammation and immunology. 723 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,920 So that's a little more from Pfizer. 724 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,840 Now I have a little bit more from the Children's Health 725 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,800 Defense. And this rounds out this report, 726 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,040 Brian. State Medicaid programs will be 727 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,640 able to access Pfizer's products at prices similar to what the 728 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,080 car company charges other wealthy nations. 729 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,080 As I mentioned, Pfizer has agreed to increase its drug 730 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,640 prices in other countries a little bit while lowering them 731 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,080 in the USA little bit. So that it's fair, Trump was 732 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,720 quoted as saying. Kind of an equaling effect. 733 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,480 However, Pfizer did not agree to cut the prices it currently 734 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,360 offers to employers, private insurers and Medicare. 735 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,280 Medicare being purely a federal medical coverage. 736 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,560 Medicaid is combination state and federal medical coverage. 737 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,480 The White House has not released details about the 70 billion 738 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,000 that Pfizer agreed to spend on US domestic manufacturing 739 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,840 facilities. Those details, at the very 740 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,400 least, are not available yet. So there's a lot of unanswered 741 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:44,200 questions amid some practical benefits perhaps, but with big 742 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,200 Pharma, of course, any advantages it would get right 743 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,040 when The Who is wrapping up the pandemic treaty, right when 744 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,840 another pandemic could conceivably be declared. 745 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,000 Will this be particularly advantageous for Pfizer even 746 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,040 even over and above other pharmaceutical companies? 747 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,840 That and many other questions have yet to be asked or 748 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,480 answered, Brian. But this initial report shows 749 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,040 that they're very important questions to ask amid whatever 750 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,920 benefits there may be. So, so back to you at this 751 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,360 point. Mark, thank you very much. 752 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,120 Absolutely, we must keep our eye firmly on the global 753 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,080 pharmaceutical system and the immense power of these 754 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,160 pharmaceutical companies. And as you say, many more 755 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,080 questions to ask. Patrick, let's bring you back. 756 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,920 And the subject is France and Ukraine. 757 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,760 I think you're surely going to be bringing Macron back on 758 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,320 screen. So, fresh from his dinner 759 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:48,240 alongside Keir Starmer and Queen Mary of Denmark, what's Macron 760 00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:53,160 been up to in this field? That's right, the testosterone 761 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,200 is teaming through his veins. As you can imagine, he is poised 762 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:02,120 to take a tough leading role here in showing the Russians who 763 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:06,000 is boss in Europe. And a major move has been made, 764 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,480 a major escalation actually. So he's been giving his orders 765 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,280 to take the lead on the escalation with Russia. 766 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,760 Just look at this headline. This is the thing that we all 767 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,840 feared. Macron leads a charge against 768 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,440 Russia's so-called shadow fleet. These are oil tankers, other 769 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,840 trade vessels that are reflagged, common practice 770 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,880 around the world and throughout history. 771 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,320 But but Russia, it's being framed in nefarious terms. 772 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,320 Keir Starmer himself a few months ago, which we reported 773 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,080 on, he said we need to do something. 774 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,040 We need to stop all these ships in the Baltic. 775 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:42,080 We need to make it untenable for the Russians. 776 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,880 So here it is. We'll bring this up on screen on 777 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,640 Wednesday, Brian. October 1st, Paris announced 778 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,920 that on the 27th September it had detained a, quote, 779 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,840 suspicious vessel off the French coast and the ship was under 780 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,320 investigation for maritime offenses. 781 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,000 It was operating under a false flag, says the president of 782 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,800 France. But it it was exactly the same 783 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,240 vessel that had been checked by Estonian March for the same 784 00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:11,200 reasons. So nefarious Russian vessels 785 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,280 with false flags, but they're boarding ships. 786 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,600 How long before they start impounding them here? 787 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,560 And so this is what it's all about. 788 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,440 We'll go to the statements of intent. 789 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,400 It is extremely important, says Macron, to increase pressure on 790 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,200 the shadow fleet because it clearly reduces Russia's ability 791 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,080 to fund this war effort. So this is their back to the old 792 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:37,320 Kennard from from February 2022. We need to stop Russia from 793 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,520 selling oil because it's funding the war in Ukraine. 794 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,280 I mean, it's just kind of a spurious claim, an excuse to 795 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,720 declare economic warfare. But there's more to it here. 796 00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:49,920 And we'll go back to this statement. 797 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,960 And this is what the game that's being laid out looks like, 798 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,800 Brian, in the coming days, our chiefs of staff in coordination 799 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,320 with NATO and within the framework of the, quote, 800 00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,760 coalition of the willing. I remember that that was the one 801 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,120 they used in Iraq. But we digress. 802 00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:08,960 Macron continues. A group of some 35 countries 803 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,320 have had to come together to provide security guarantees for 804 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,880 Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. 805 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,720 And we'll meet to create joint actions in the coming weeks. 806 00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:22,960 So this is the sort of escalation we start impounding 807 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,360 ships on the high sea and preventing Russia from trading 808 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,520 with other countries, physically preventing them. 809 00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:32,720 This is usually a prelude to war. 810 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,800 It has been historically. So I think that's kind of what 811 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,240 we're looking at here, Brian. I think it's usually disturbing 812 00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:41,560 and we'll be reporting on this going forward. 813 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,680 Thank you. Thank you, Patrick, absolutely 814 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,520 agree with your concerns. We can see that, yes, the next 815 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,280 thing could well be that these Russian ships were actually 816 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,200 stopped and boarded on the international seas and that 817 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,360 would take things into a new area very, very quickly. 818 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,320 Now let's come back to the subject of the UK and Prince 819 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:09,800 William has been speaking to, not least to the BBC. 820 00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:13,720 He's talking about changing the monarchy when he's king, but 821 00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,400 he's also talking about stress around the, excuse me, the 822 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,040 family overwhelming him. Let's just have a little look at 823 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:29,280 this video clip. If history doesn't overwhelm 824 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,000 you, is there anything that does? 825 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,240 Yeah, I think stuff to do with family overwhelms me quite a 826 00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:40,720 bit. You know, worry or stress around 827 00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:43,040 family side of things that does overwhelm me quite a bit. 828 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,840 But in terms of, you know, doing the job and things like that, I 829 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,520 I don't feel too overwhelmed by that. 830 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:52,680 Not now anyway. When I was younger. 831 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,840 Yeah, there are bits that overwhelm you a bit like, whoa, 832 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,080 are we actually doing this? This is sort of happening, but 833 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,400 with with time and age, I think you feel a bit more settled in 834 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,640 that side of things and you go, actually I could do that and 835 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,680 even a few curveballs come in. That doesn't necessarily well, 836 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,120 me when it's to do with family and things like that. 837 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,840 Then that's why I start getting a bit overwhelmed, as I think 838 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,760 most people would. Well, I've got to say that I 839 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,240 didn't interview didn't fill me with confidence. 840 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:25,160 This man seems to have so many personal and family problems, I 841 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,960 begin to question whether he's actually capable of doing the 842 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,480 job of being an effective monarch in UK. 843 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,680 This is some of the quotes that have come out today. 844 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,040 Change is coming is effectively what he's saying. 845 00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:42,640 I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda, change 846 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,280 for good and I embrace that. I enjoy that change, I don't 847 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,920 fear it. That's the bit that excites me, 848 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:53,560 the idea of being able to bring some change, he went on. 849 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,560 Sorry, I'll repeat there. I don't fear it. 850 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,200 That's the bit that excites me. I think if you're not careful, 851 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,680 history can be a real weight and an anchor around you, and you 852 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,760 can feel suffocated by it and restricted by it too much. 853 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:13,880 So history is coming into the sites as far as Williams 854 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,360 concerned. There are points when you look 855 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,240 at tradition and go is that still fit for purpose today? 856 00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,040 Is that still the right thing to do? 857 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,600 Are we still doing and having the most impact we could be 858 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,000 having? So I'm going to ask a question 859 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,800 on today's UK column news. And that is, it seems to me from 860 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,600 what he's saying in very vague, veiled terms, that UK's 861 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,960 Christian history and traditions are going to be out. 862 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,920 And what we're going to get from William is more woke 863 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,920 multicultural history and traditions. 864 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,920 That's what will be coming in. But we'll wait and see how 865 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,080 accurate I am on that little prediction. 866 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,160 So Patrick as well, can you back again? 867 00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:02,320 And the subject is Moldova. Yes, I just want to point 868 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,400 people, we showed this a couple weeks ago, this situation that's 869 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,600 been brewing, we're warning it's coming and the elections have 870 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,880 happened this past week. Here's the headline. 871 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:16,280 Moldova pro EU party wins majority in election dominated 872 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,680 by quote Russian interference. So there's a lot of reports and 873 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,960 accusations about Russian interference in the Moldovan 874 00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:26,240 elections. It's a very, very key territory 875 00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:30,760 strategically right alongside Ukraine is likely that this is 876 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,000 going to he uses another front. But we'll bring up the the 877 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,200 leader here who just recently did a state visit to the UK and 878 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:42,120 met King Charles. So where our headline is EU NATO 879 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,200 win Moldovan election because that's really the take away 880 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,520 here. And so if we look at some of the 881 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,400 interesting details to pay attention to, they talk about 882 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,000 Russian interference in the mainstream media. 883 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,240 But 22 pro Russian parties, the heart of Moldova and Moldova, 884 00:55:57,240 --> 00:56:02,360 Maher, were barred from the vote on Friday over allegations of 885 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,240 illegal financing and vote buying. 886 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,040 So again, allegations they were barred. 887 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,320 So they took away some significant electoral blocks 888 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,400 there. But this is 1.6 million voted. 889 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,040 That's approximately 52% of the eligible electorate in that 890 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,160 country. But this is the interesting part 891 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:27,240 288,000 that's 17.5% of the total coming from overseas 892 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:31,520 diaspora polling sites. Now how you can't break that 893 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,120 down because the Moldovan government's not giving 894 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:39,000 statistics on who voted which way on all of these overseas 895 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,720 polling sites. So it's tiny little country, but 896 00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:45,320 with a huge diaspora around the world. 897 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,360 Now which which way that diaspora is leaning, pro 898 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,560 European or pro Russian? It's not altogether clear. 899 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,400 Now the the ones in Transnistria, this is the 900 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,760 autonomous pro Russian breakaway Republic. 901 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,920 There were bomb scares at their polling sites. 902 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,680 They had to leave Transnistria and travel 20 miles or so to 903 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,640 vote in a Moldovan poll site because they still have Moldovan 904 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,520 passports. Ostensibly they can still vote, 905 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,320 but there were bomb scares at some of these polling sites. 906 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,880 That's interesting out. There's also reported bomb 907 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:21,680 scares at some of the overseas, certain overseas polling sites 908 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,280 as well. So that's kind of interesting, 909 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,000 but the the bottom line here, and we warned about this a 910 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000 couple weeks ago, we'll bring this up on screen. 911 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,160 You can see that map, why it's so important strategically. 912 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,440 But what we're warning is destabilizing Moldova, Europe 913 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,880 and Zelensky's plan to thwart Trump, Putin peace efforts with 914 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:46,120 provocations in Transnistria. So this could be opening up a 915 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,600 new front to draw Ukraine into Transnistria. 916 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:54,400 Transnistria and which is pro Russian is a 1500 Russian 917 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,280 peacekeepers there. And Zalenski would immediately 918 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,640 go to Trump and say, Donald, look, the the the Russians have 919 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,640 it will be a false flag attack. That's my prediction. 920 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,120 But they'll be the Russians. We need more cash, more weapons. 921 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:09,920 Please give us more weapons. And then we'll give the 922 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,240 Europeans something to rally around. 923 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,240 You know, so that's how I see the whole Ukraine gambit is 924 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,120 stalled so badly at the moment. This would provide them with 925 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,360 something fresh, something new and shiny for the media and the 926 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:28,320 political elites in Europe and for Trump, too, to rally around 927 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,120 this new sort of front. That's that could open up here. 928 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,920 That's what we're afraid of. We hope that doesn't happen, but 929 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,240 it's certainly lining up that way, especially with these 930 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,080 election results. Patrick, thank you very much for 931 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,560 that report. And yeah, it certainly seems 932 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,760 that what we are not seeing is Western politicians, US, 933 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:53,600 European, UK politicians really being passionate on the world 934 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:58,280 stage for peace and obtaining peace, whether it's in Ukraine 935 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,120 or or Eastern Europe or or into Gaza. 936 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,960 This is something they simply will not do. 937 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,000 Now let's have a look at a little bit of good news for the 938 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,880 end of today's UK column News. And we're back on the subject 939 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,080 about what ordinary people are now starting to do. 940 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,680 And a big thank you to Will Coleshill, who's been out on the 941 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:25,720 streets looking at the Labour conference and also talking to 942 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,680 some local people. Let's have a look. 943 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:31,360 Good morning ladies and gentlemen. 944 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:32,640 This is Will Coleshill reporting today. 945 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,120 I'm down outside the Labour Conference and the Farmers to 946 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:39,560 Action and together and veterans and bikers protests against Keir 947 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,600 Starmer, his policies, his death tax and everything else. 948 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,720 Today we have a united front, so we're going to be going around 949 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,520 speaking to people and seeing what their views are on a range 950 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,240 of different issues, but they've all united today and I think 951 00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:51,360 it's going to be quite interesting. 952 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,200 Anything that's brought you out here today? 953 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,960 Support, isn't it? Support, Support for the 954 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,600 farmers. You've got to do much speaking, 955 00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,960 but I support the farmers, you know what I mean? 956 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,080 But the shouting, what everything you've heard before 957 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:07,200 over there, it's fact in it. So pick up the farmers, come 958 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:08,600 with farmers. To action. 959 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,760 Support them and just get the message across. 960 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,400 But the inheritance tax needs to be abolished for all, not just 961 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,080 for farmers. And if you want food, you've got 962 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,160 to look after a farmer basically. 963 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:20,600 I don't want to be like China. Simple as. 964 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,200 Keir Starmer is trying to override the Bill of Rights. 965 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,640 They tried to use the Supreme Court to override the mandate of 966 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:27,960 the British public multiple times. 967 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,840 Now the latest move by the communist regime is to enforce 968 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,520 the digital ID. It's fantastic. 969 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,600 We heard today outside the Labour conference, as many of 970 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,800 you know, Labour have let this country know miserably and we 971 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,600 heard to send a message to Keir Starmer we will not accept 972 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,600 mandatory digital ID. It's something to do with the 973 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:49,440 fact that Keir Starmer is putting veterans at risk again. 974 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:54,880 They restarting the vexatious prosecutions of Northern Ireland 975 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,040 veterans. The new legislation that he is 976 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:03,680 purporting to do in in the command paper is absolutely 977 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,400 useless. It will just reopen old wounds 978 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,120 and put us back in the dock. I'm Rob and we're together. 979 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,960 We're here protesting against digital ID and also in support 980 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:19,800 of the farmers today, so really excellent to see people not only 981 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,520 out on. The streets brave enough to 982 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,480 stand up and give their view, but extremely well informed in 983 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,720 the subjects that they're interested in. 984 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,480 And this means that they're putting across a very coherent 985 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:36,360 argument to pull apart these pernicious globalist policies. 986 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,880 Now, if that were protesters, if that was protesters outside the 987 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,560 Labour conference, let's have a little look about how wills he 988 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:48,960 got on when he went to speak to some of the advance political 989 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:57,840 party supporters immigration is. One that's clearly become an 990 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,600 urgent problem and needs need to get on top of that. 991 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,080 I've worked for the council on my life. 992 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,120 We were told to. Watch out for grooming gangs. 993 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,680 Well, yet nothing's ever been done about them. 994 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,720 Well, obviously immigration is a big one. 995 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,240 You know that's that's. The topic everybody wants to 996 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,840 talk about, me personally though, I'm, I'm into defence 997 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,480 and I don't like the way Labour are doing their strategic 998 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,200 defence review. So that's, that's a big one for 999 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,720 me personally. And obviously the, the other 1000 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,760 major issue that we've got at the moment is freedom. 1001 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,080 It's been eroded in every sense of the word. 1002 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,280 And freedom of speech in particular is one of the big, 1003 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,960 big things that seems to be going in this country. 1004 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,200 Democracy really. And we're not, we're not getting 1005 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,360 that. The economy, the people who are 1006 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,200 running the finances of this country are messing it up. 1007 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,280 And I would say some are even deliberately wanting to do so. 1008 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,400 There's some really dark stuff going on. 1009 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:51,720 The lower middle classes are being forced out of owning land. 1010 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,520 Whether you believe in the conspiracies or not, I am 1011 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:59,240 worried about things like and economic communism, for example, 1012 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,160 coming from the WEAI mean. I worked in schools for a long 1013 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,360 time. Teachers actually have. 1014 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,120 Food in their drawers for children. 1015 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,400 That shouldn't be happening in the UK, Sorry. 1016 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,800 Not when we're we're actually feeding other people. 1017 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,040 Who've never paid a penny in the. 1018 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,000 System. We've got a couple of things in 1019 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,760 common and those things in common. 1020 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:20,800 Are we want freedom of speech and we love Britain, we love our 1021 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,800 country, the culture, the fabric of society. 1022 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:29,400 So family values, our beliefs, our values, what we the the 1023 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:35,000 unwritten intangible things that hold the glue that holds society 1024 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,600 tightly together in bringing back their Christian values to 1025 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,880 to Great Britain so. Really excellent. 1026 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,960 To see those people, they know. They're subject, they're not 1027 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,800 going to sit quietly and idly by while these pernicious globalist 1028 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,240 policies come in. And of course, these are the 1029 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:57,080 very people not only to get local councillors elected in the 1030 01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,240 future, to get their own MPs elected. 1031 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:05,000 These are the people able to stop these policies as they come 1032 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,240 through to local level via the city councils and the local 1033 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,480 councils. So we'll end there. 1034 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,000 Well done to all those people who are saying no, we're not 1035 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,560 having these terrible policies. From Keir Starmer, Patrick, 1036 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,520 thank you very much for joining me. 1037 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,680 Beautiful location there in France. 1038 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:29,720 And big thank you to Mark Anderson for coming into today's 1039 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,800 news as well.
