9:00 pm
they said that apart from a smaller, very small circle within the nazi regime and few people, not not many other people knew about the trains and the camps and what was going on there, and i assume that back then, i'm pretty certain they didn't have mobile phones to show what was going on in the camps on their phones, and therefore my question is whether gaza is what aways us all, in a sense there are one point or another, we can all be... live on social media, live for everybody to see, and the world will just keep going as if nothing happens and whether this is the future that wits us and whether this is the word we have to get used to, well it's a brilliant question, almost a thesis and very interesting one, i don't mean that in any uh pejorative way at all, you're right, of course, we we're all fixated by the euros at the moment? very soon will be
9:01 pm
fixated by the olympic games uh and it isn't just a western circus by the way uh the i see advertisements flashing up on social media all the time for all kinds of festivals and exhibitions and jollies uh even in the arab world particularly in saudi arabia but also in uh persian gulf countries in the arab world and it never seases to strike me as astonishing and "i have not been able to live normal life since october the 7th. i have not been able to enjoy things that i formally enjoyed to the same extent. i'm not even able to look at my children uh, without thinking of the children i've just looked at on my phone, but some people appear able, and this is where the thesis comes in, some people appear able to uh separate their..." lives
9:02 pm
and their pleasures are from the agony of others. i give you a little insight uh, maybe i shouldn't, but my uh son, my youngest son broke his elbow last night, one minute before i went on the air uh with mots. uh, it's a very serious break, he had to stay overnight, he had an operation today uh, took him into hospital, very beautiful hospital in our locality where the staff. were, i mean, almost literally angels, where they treated him with such kindness and beneficience, and where everything was clean, and every piece of equipment was available, and a surgeon was able under anesthetic to open up his elbow and refix it, and so on. all i could think about was gaza, all i could think about was other people's children, being brought into a... hospital, they is almost entirely
9:03 pm
destroyed, filthy with blood and death everywhere, where the staff are routinely murdered, where none of this equipment is available, and where the children don't have broken elbows, they have severed limbs, and where they are amputated without anesthesia, that was all i could think of in this pristine piece of heaven, which is the british national health service, at least where i live, it's a pristine piece or... heaven uh, but some people appear very able to ignore it, so i am routinely challenged by journalists, every time i'm interviewed by a journalist, i am chang just to why i am focused on gaza, like being focused a holocaust is a bad thing, and i always say to them, if you were a journalist in 1940 and you asked me, why i was focused on the
9:04 pm
holocaust, who would look better in history? you are me, you who said i should not be of focusing a holocaust, on me who was doing the focusing, wonderful question, must say, dr. matthew offord is a university professor and was the parliamentary candidate for my own party, the workers party of britain in the constituency of bath. "and we are proud of him. professor, what would you like to say? thanks, george, and i hope that your son has a speedy recovery from his broken arm. um, i was wondering if you uh, given that we have several new independent um, mps who are pro of guzza uh, in parliament and several new green mps in parliament, um, how effective do you think these voices can be, and if you do have chance as well, i had second question um, about you being um, i wonder how..." on why
9:05 pm
you've been maligned and misunderstood so badly uh over the years if you do have time to comment on that secondary uh portion of the question uh thanks for that uh professor doctor i uh "i take a stand, i can do other. i express my stand, and i think i express it better than most anybody else. i'm hoping someone comes along soon to relieve me of that burden. why was i expelled by tony blair over the iraq war, when there were many other mps were also vehemently opposed to the iraq war as me, i like to think is because my opposition to the iraq war..." was more widely heard, was more persuasive, more eloquent, and absolutely irreconcilably opposed to those who were about to invade and occupy iraq, while others were ready, perhaps to temper their opposition, and i take a
9:06 pm
stand on things that the power - is particularly vitally concerned about, and so my opposition matters, i'm not someone. who's out campaigning on you, trans rights or hug a tree uh or uh or animal welfare or any of number of other things that can easily be accommodated by the power. i am campaigning on things that are of vital importance to the power, and if i'm opposing them well, what makes me a target, makes me, and you see the kind of useful idiots that we have, there are people who cannot see... the wood for the trees uh and unfortunately it will take some time uh to properly convert them uh to see the whole wood rather than have their nose up against one tree and unable to see anything else uh on the uh first issue uh that you
9:07 pm
raised uh doctor remind me again what the first point was uh we've got four new mps who have who are promoting gaza and four. green mps, which is um, guess a good sign for um, for that kind of commitment, it is very good sign, and our party got 210,194 votes, the largest ever vote for left of labor party in history, and i'm extremely proud of it, and you were one of those to contributed to that, so uh, if you add the five uh that were elected. including mr. corbin to whom i'll turn a minute uh, if you add the votes that we got, if you add the independent votes that didn't make it, but nearly made it, got thousands of votes, came second, uh, in some cases are close, close second, uh, then it's
9:08 pm
evident that there was a mass electoral uprising in britain, it didn't affect the overall outcome. but it did send a shock wave through the political establishment, the media establishment that will not easily or quickly be forgotten, at least if i've got anything to do with it. now i called last night, mr. corbin rang me uh on saturday and i had very good conversation with him, and i called last night publicly for mr. corbin to lead, a... people's front, a popular front, exactly like the one launched by mr. melansan, which won the french parliamentary elections yesterday, that's the kind of path down which we should travel. mr. corbin is the best man to lead it, he has the benefit
9:09 pm
of a parliamentary seat, he has the benefit of 40 years of experience, and there is much love and affection for him in. the country, so we, our party, yours and mine, are inviting mr. corbin to lead us to form a front of all the campaigning organizations, all the solidarity movements, all the political parties like ours, form us all into a front, which he should lead, and we will follow him, i think that's the best way to make the maximum impact, nickley, mbe, former manchester miral candidate is on the line from manchester, nick, good to see you again, i recall you were guest of mine on my uh television show, i was much impressed, go ahead, oh thank you very much, thank you for the invitation, george, um, first of all, i wanted to say that, first of all, you've
9:10 pm
always been an enigma to me, um, i used to watch your show on rt until that was taken off uh, normal tv and i couldn't watch it anymore, because you always gave. something different to think about, i don't always agree with you, but you gave me something to think about, um, i have a friend living in rotsdale, runs an anti-child sexual abuse project, and he's told me you're the only mp you's. ever given him any time, so those 54 days he was an mp, thank you for speaking to him and thank you for helping him, um, and then my last compliment really is, i was so impressed when you was in the us congress, um, for your bravery, the way you stuck up for yourself, what you said, um, i was in all that, someone this country could go over there in a hostile environment and given what for for the way you believed it to be, i was extremely impressed, thank you. question really is, the history of my lifetime in the west, really is, we keep interfering in other
9:11 pm
countries and other parts of the world, and we never get the we thought we were going to get, is gaza just the latest version of this that we think on the right side, we think we're helping, but we've got no idea what's going on, how things will turn out, and shouldn't we've learned the lens of iraq, libya, everywhere else, and say to ourselves, no, we're just not getting involved. "and we need that part of the world to sort themselves out. yeah, i, i, i entirely agree with every word that you said in that second or last part of your contribution, i entirely agree with it, and it is hangover from an imperial past that we have never shaken off. so for example, when i highlighted in manchester, our campaign manifesto launch that britain was spending 12,00 pounds per minute." per minute on weapons and war, i couldn't help but think, as you probably
9:12 pm
thinking now, all the things we could have done with that money. i've already been speaking to you for three, four minutes, £2,00 pounds a minute, we could have opened a youth club just the proceeds of the last four minutes, and it's 12,00 pounds of every minute, every day, every week, month and year, it is utterly anti. british to be fixated on, sailing round the world, interfering in other people's business, and as you in the best thing you said in that question, it never turns out the way we were told it was going to turn out, it never ever ever does, our invasion of iraq, our invasion of afghanistan, our involvement in war after war after war, it never turns out the... way that we were told it would, and it always turns out to make matters worse, so i'm for
9:13 pm
bring the money back home. you know, as candidate for mayor in manchester, and i know as member of parliament on and off for almost 40 years, the things our people our country desperately need, desperately need, but can't have, because we're told there's no money. but the money is being spent on war around the world, weapons and war around the world, and i believe that you know, trust me on this, nick, you might not believe this, but i s before god that it is true, i would much rather spend all day, every day talking about britain, about british people, about british problems, applying my energy and whatever gift god has given me to solving our problems, but we can't get out. of this endless cycle of war and interference in
9:14 pm
other people's affairs, my last point on this, think perhaps you might agree with me on this, the royal navy is in the red sea, the black sea, the south china see, the only sea it isn't in is the english channel where people can people can come across in a day at will anyt they like and get set up in a hotel you at 80 pounds per night for the hotellier, nice work for him, not so nice for the rest the british public. thank you, nick for that excellent contribution, mosan farkani is a phd student in iran in tehran where they've just elected and president, another election, another new leader, morson, welcome to the show, what would you like to say? good afternoon, george, uh, thanks for having me here today, um, yeah, as you mentioned, a ref
9:15 pm
mis president dr. peskian received the majority of iranian ballots on friday, as one the main untouchable policies of the islamic republic of iran, support for palestine, will continue all be in a way that the israelis will not appreciate it, president's approach to supporting palestine is based on on the position of the supreme lead and international laws to condemn israel's crimes in gaza and to put israel under international pressure. he will not allow israel. uh to securitize iran and hide its crimes uh in gaza behind securitization of iran. therefore, my question for you as the uk member of parliament uh is with respect to uh recognized international law, how will the new british administration respond to the pressure exerted on israel by the iranian
9:16 pm
government? thank you. i can't even pronounce yet the name of your president. "i'm not going to attempt to, i have no view over whether he was the best of the two candidates in the runoff, but i absolutely support the right of the iranian people, themselves alone to elect the president that they want, and they did, and so i have to respect that, and if anyone is saying, i suspect that they will not, but if anyone is saying, well, we don't recognize the new iranian president, that is not only foolish, it is wicked. the iranians picked guy who they wanted as their president, and everyone has to accept that, everyone has to accept it and respect it, and
9:17 pm
i am sure, not just from what you said, but from what little i know about the two candidates, that if there was anything on which both of them were absolutely united, it was on the need to support the palestinian people in their agony and to provide them with the will with all to defend themselves. after all, everybody's got a right to defend themselves, right? if israel attacks lebanon, lebanon has a right to defend itself, right? if if the israel is invade and occupy the gaza st "the people of the gaza strip have got the right to defend themselves, right, and therefore helping them to exercise their right to defend themselves, has to be the honorable thing to do, right? and i'm sure that iran will continue to do that. warren thornten is a journalist of note and of my caint in the west country. warren, nice to
9:18 pm
see you again, nice to see you again, george, the current new prime minister." lost many many votes in his own constituency, his first speech was not for the british people but for and he's nominated dave lammy as foreign secretary, are we already seeing the start of starmcadin? uh, how perfectly expressed, that's why you're a journalist of note uh, the uh progress of the starmar government is turning out to be even more nightmarish than our worst fears might have. suggested, the the brute lammy is now in charge of british diplomacy around the world, and if you know david lami, like i know david lami, you must be rather afraid of that. you wouldn't send this man into a school playground to break up a group of squabbling kids. the idea that he
9:19 pm
is in charge of our foreign affairs is simply nightmares. starmer has brought back. the drags, the sweepings of the blair and brown saloon, appointing them as lords and ladies and put them straight into the british cabinet, when he already has 400 and something mps that he could have chosen from, he's bringing back the right hand men and women of tony blair and gordon brown, it's going to be very, very rocky. right, and unless the british people can get their act together and try and stop this roller coaster, we may well be on our way to star mcgeden. his first call, as you rightly implied, was to joe biden, i don't joe biden know he is or knows that the telephone call even took place, but in that telephone call,
9:20 pm
and we have the actuality. pier starmer pledged himself to potential war with america's enemies in america's service, exactly the same way as tony blair did with george w. bush in the uh run up to the afghan then the war against iraq. the second call that he made, i don't know if you are aware of this, the second call kier starmer made was to benjamin netanyahu and starmer spokesman. in writing said afterwards that the british prime minister thanked prime minister netanyahu and looked forward to a deepening of relations between our two friendly countries, you couldn't make it upward and unfortunately you had no need to, it really happened. my apologies to those
9:21 pm
that didn't get on the show this evening, please try again next week and we'll prioritize your call. it's been a remarkable show in which from to z we covered the world political scene and we had as guest one of the few heroes. the last nine months and she's been doing it for many years. i metaphorically take my hat off to francesca albanese, the special united nations rapporteur for palestine for the occupied territories. it's been marvelous for me, hope it was for you, and if it was, tell your friends and all of you come back next week at the same time to have it out with galloway.
9:22 pm
9:23 pm
9:24 pm
this week on expose day we exposed the affable coverage of the iranian presidential elections and western media, which seemed more like echo chamber for pentagon talking points. the usual suspects were giving the spotlight hurling unfounded accusations against the islamic republic, showcasing a clear agenda of spight. predictably, western digital media clung to their tired narrative, expressing concern that iran's foreign policy towards the science entity would remain unchanged with the new president. what a shocker? no, now iranian social media lid up with support for the elections, but voters... in several western countries faced harassment and abuse with police offering no protection for them, outraging iranians back home. stay tune for expose day, the truth is just a
9:25 pm
revelation away.
9:26 pm
as hundreds of people have marked.
9:27 pm
the voice of the voiceless press tv.
9:28 pm
headlines at press tv, more than 141 more palestinians are killed and some 400 others injured and just one day of the israeli guidal war on gaza. muslims in iran at around the world hold special morning ceremonies on the eve of towsaw. and the fbi raids the home of tom.
