news. ready ah ah ah

ah ah, this is radio caroline on 199, 1st commercial radio stations. ah. 1925 radio gro costumes becoming very influential in the government as a day, realize that this is a dangerous thing to have in the hands of private companies and individuals say prohibited anyone else seeing the same radio signal. so the only people who send radio was worthy british broadcasting corporation, which effectively with an arm of the government of the day i,

i and as it had a monopoly, there is no need to us to population what they'd like to hear. so the people running corporation who shows in for their gravitas, several, we'll, we'll get the paper what we want, the little things that they felt the population wanted to have. a quick question were consulted and we didn't accept that music was very important to us. but there was a music breath, but in the early sixties i found a road in realize that you can search event the regulations by just going little bit outside of pretty territory and putting a radio station on a ship, hence ships like this. and that was the foundation radio caroline, this is radio caroline, on 199, england, 1st commercial radio stations. my name simon de. whether you for the next 2 hours

1st went off the top of the pile valley's rock and robin from somewhere in the mediterranean peace. love and good with the voice of the 1st time that i heard the station, the voice of police was in the sewage. when i was sailing with my husband, i used to, you know, at that time you had the radio, so i used to go to the channel where they used to. i used to listen to the voice of peace. and that's how i came to know that there was a radio station called the voice of peace. and it's only after i make a be did i can make that this was a gentleman and this was a ship and i think to date, there's nobody who broadcast treadmill music. they may be, you know, i did was, it was really good music. they did of

a bolt broadcasting from the see was a result of indeed because he couldn't get license here in israel. or maybe he didn't even try to get a license. by any case, once you broadcast on the c, you are a free bird. you can do whatever you want and then open a radio station at those times. you needed all kinds of regulations and from the sea, you don't need all those are relations and therefore he chose to do it from the sea . and he was not the 1st find out the last one, by the way, the settlers, and tried to any to imitate him and do the same years after him. then i was the people are criticized, but we are not here as israel is. people and the good that we have come from arabs and jews at the same time. and i think we should stop this whole business. you know? i think you know, i am already and what the ship stands for. the current piece is the word

and the voice of peace is the station 24 hours a day. the when when caroline started in britain, we just had the baby. see, there was no radio competition. and, and if you were a music producer, you couldn't get you new music played. and that was why ronan riley started the radio station to get the music played on the radio. i mean, random is not averse to making money running very much like making money and using other people's money. so because of his upbringing, his real motivation was to settle the store. but he was blocked in doing what he wanted to do. he has to remember that his father was an irish republican,

and his grandfather was killed in the 1900. 16 uprising where the irish rose up against the british, occupying island. so there was a rebel street there and which is why of course he started, caroline and easter $964.00 because it was eastern $916.00. that briefly the rebels took over dublin and took over the post office and set up gun in placements and for the british. so this was his way of saying, i mean, i'm evening the school with the british government in a peaceful way. ah. all his life, i think a be was obsess was what he had done in 48 the bomb according to what he said he had bombed. but as soon as the villages,

as a volunteer and easily new air force, and they again feelings the company team for many years and where the motivation to change his way. and to start a new start in his life, a new approach. he realized that he had done was wrong and this was really this us which had fewer, he's evasion to compensate to, to, to ask for forgiveness for what he had done in 48. i wish more israelis with the felt the same deal feeling the i but he's very interesting the despite the fact that he was such as anxious to begin with,

he suddenly not suddenly probably in the process changes and becomes more and more critical. first of all, he does not believe in these really mantra. there is no one there to talk to in the world. he drives individually as to as a fellow to fly to egypt. 3 times it will do just that the distance did not take him seriously. they thought he will, the clown o the i as they send him back immediately after he landed in a smile, leah and twice he leonard is my lawyer. and once he came with a slight air egypt from i think,

love mecca. these really were very cross. and angry with these initiative, this will start as his attempt to bring egypt and these were closer. and i think this was the 1st step in history formation from a very pious zionist, into someone who was low, critical about the state. he sat in hotel and watched and watch the sea and listen to the radio. people, people were speaking about the conflict and about the water is about to come. and he felt that this would be a way to speak to people to warn them about the consequences of war. and he thought it possible to broadcast, not for the very toilet from israel, but maybe from the see from the ship in the see radio station. and he said, and we call it the voice of peace to speak with people and to calm them both the ship with the donation he got from the dutch people for with their generosity and

took it to new york to transfer the ship to a radio station it took him almost 5 years to fulfill his dream it to transfer the small sheep into a radio station more than regular search for this period of time. and in may 1973. you came to the mediterranean sea and started to broadcasting with the voice of the well, there's an american saying goes, you can't be city hall. and what that means is however hard, you try, you authorities will eventually, when an hour attitude is will actually, they won't. and if they proceed with surviving, maybe this by them to survive because well, know, riley, i mean we will live our lives complying with rules and other people made

and it's automatic. mostly, now we assume the rosemary for our benefit, but then you start to think, well maybe the rules made for the benefit of the people making the rules. now ronan has no rules. here any rules, he has his own rules. and when you come up against some pretty like that, who is determined, it's a very difficult person to stop because he doesn't operate in the conventional way that most of the rest of the population over it. yeah, i'll tell you that while i was, i was very young. i was about 7 years old when i 1st started listening to radio, caroline bits. and for a few years later, when i started working at the age of 1617, for the carolina doing one grow chose this goes around the united kingdom and the united kingdom. i actually started going to those and then got to meet some of the

people involved in radio, caroline and i knew that i could do engineering. and of course they were looking for engineers. and they were having a problem with a generator. and just asked me if i go out to the ship for a couple of weeks to have a look at it. well, that was 40 years ago. i don't still doing it already. i kind of, i know with great music from the 60s through to the 90s. oh caroline story, but it was 9 years old and i grew up with caroline and i was smitten by what i'd heard the fabulous music. the thought that these guys and they were all guys at the time that when a women involved at the time, these guys were sitting on a rusty ship and against overwhelming odds just to bring lead the lasers painted some and it does spark. so i want to do that and that said through with me or the way through my teenagers, so my growing years and then i had the chance to come out. i been a fan of the station and came out and visit trips and was invited out

the news from somewhere in the mediterranean. we are the voices, be on 1540 killer her right now you can listen to the voice of the on f m stereo. that's right, 100 on your s, m die i a before that even going to speak all the time about politics. no one will listen to the voice of his . he understood that it should be a combination of music, of a popular music, different style with a in english, very nice and fluent english. british b, j. most of them were british. so that the public will, will enjoy listening to the room. but between the songs there will messages of jingles, like normal wall, normal blood sheets, a piece in the world,

and the vote for faces. the station. normal wall luxury piece is the word and the voice is peace is the station. people who listened as i did for many years to the station were less exposed to the indoctrination. and that was part of the official israeli broadcasting stations. so even if you were not exposed to the rest for good messages, it will also less expose to design his narrative, so to speak. and you were thinking in a more universal way. so i think in the long run, it had a good impact on people's ability to 2 things out of the box to look to, to look at things. not only through the glasses of the van isn't jewish nestor, lady ology. the 2nd named beth was especially towards the last years of the broadcasting

. and the ship was totally identified with ab, nothin so, so even if the message is windows coming from the ship, people, so the surgical of the ship and his own more political activity as the same project . and i think that helped to make even a bigger influence in the direction of air and more courageous political view. these of these really policies and ideas. well, what happens in the me throughout the mediterranean, all the radio stations and the television stations are controlled by governments. but the result, the arab don't listen to the radio simply because they feel it must be propaganda. since the government controls and the same effect is on the israeli side, the difference will be with our station that will be a permanent dialogue. there are no speeches here. there's no propaganda that always

be viewed from both sides so that people can listen to the other point of view. and by listening to the other point of view, maybe they will understand the video music. it was a bit like a secret society. you had to ask around because everybody had 4 names because no one wants to go to prison. i concocted a name because i didn't want to go to prison for 2 years. but you just had to meet someone who knew someone and gradually accepted and trusted and radio. caroline loved people who would help out everybody that came out to caroline for legal reasons, had a different name. he wasn't wise to have your own name just in case you were arrested for playing a bruce springsteen. record are rusty ship. so we all had different names and a friend of mine was mcwilliams. and before i came out to caroline he said, what are you going to call yourself? i jokingly said mcwilliams. and the time came in this very studio,

when i went on air at 1 o'clock and the previous presenter had said coming up next nice mcwilliams, i'm mc williamson. and that name was the name that i used when i 1st came out to caroline in the eighty's for years i'd be right. like and i and continuing this. rachel originally, when i went out to writing caroline in the 1970 s. i did actually change my name to stephen bishop, but when i came back on this ship, the ross revenge. and i actually came on the air. i was gonna use steven bishop, but the guy who was on before me knew me from when i worked on the irish radio in the irish republic and uncle john louis stand in, introduce me as jodi louis. i felt by mazel stick with it. now everybody knows

anyway the oh, to the british love, a fighter. fighting with disadvantage and radio calla was such an organization. so we got, we still have with us goodwill because we were a, we were the crazy guys who had never given even when we were living and working in awful conditions and may be risking death in order to play the rolling stones, their rolling stones had to be very important that they will do that. i was here in 1985 when we have what we call euro sage, where the government tried to close it down. there was sales in the station called laser 558. we were together for a mile and a half apart. so 2 and a half kilometers apart. and, and the government boat that was trying to close it down more between the 2 of us.

and couple of times they came, came close to us to try and be menacing and threatening, but that it, it didn't upset as a til. and in fact, what, at the time, it was like we were on every news channel throughout the world. and certainly all the european news outlets were covering the story that the government trying to close down every newspaper in europe. so it was like us spending 20000000 pounds of advertising revenue, so it actually backfired on the government because suddenly we were getting letters from people saying we thought you're gone years ago. we didn't even realize you were still there. so reacted in our favor on $55.00, a killer. this is kevin, this is mutiny. it was the hotel christian maybe the early years of caroline were not very professional. but he didn't matter

because no one had heard that sort of radio before. so even if they weren't very good, the population absolutely loved it. and in a few months after caroline started to bro cost had a bigger audience and all the b. c networks combined. and course we are here to the government as well. somehow we have to stop this and that's what set off the battle between the government saying we will close you down. radio caroline saying you will know they would try and come close to us in a rubber boat to try and measure how much water fuel that we had on board and only on a ship you got them. so line. so you can only tell by that plan, so line how's the ship is lying, has how much fuel the waters on board? so we always to do was pump sea water into empty tanks and disposed around the ships every day. we sat differently in the water in india and they gave up, it was a cat and mouse game, but we used to have a lot of fun with them. when they came close to is in a rob about a couple of times with measuring equipment to measure all signals. and again i was

just trying to be menacing. so on the ship, they're all surveying. we have a very, very powerful fire hydrant. so we can spray water, but fi that so we did was when they came close to us, we want them what we're going to do that, you know, 70 spray them with, with state water, they soon disappeared and they never try that again. it was, it was basically a junior minister in the british government trying to make a name for himself and it had back 5 in some respects, lays that they got off the car line, remained on the air and they just gave off in the end. and let us continue, and here we are. the is a test transmission of the voice of peace radio station, the voice of peace broadcast from the merchant as well. peace, lying in the eastern mediterranean. the voice of bass was a be not done and they've been out there was the voice of these. i mean, there was a lot of music and he saw that through the music. he can get also to the house of

the people. but by the end of the day, it was, he's monologues, he's interviews, he interviewed people, he did his monologues about peace, and his spirit was on the whole both. i remember one interview that he did together with me, i think it was reasonable shot. i think it was a big shot when the police, there's 1st mentioned that jericho 1st aid the before or slow. and this was really a sensation because they never talked about the jericho 1st. and he was very proud about it later on, it's gained some mental but above all it was he tried to reach young people and he saw that he can reach young people through the music. and this will hear that i don't think anything is gonna happen. and yet, while the politicians are going to keep talking about the problem in the united

nations and the big powers and the rising and all over the world, i think every day we are having more and more people dying on the borders. and there'll be more bomb throwing, adobe continuous retaliation. actually, what is happening is the politicians will live to talk about these boys. and the ordinary man is going to keep the the demand for low price clothing is accelerating at high speed. that's absolutely great by 2030, the industry will expand by an additional 60 percent. i'll just take a detailed look at the disposal of our committee. oh, or the date exposing the hidden human and environmental cost way was a company give free what to do? you never know data said boss fashion, all knowledge of

a city defined by military occupation. there's never been an arab state. he with the capital of jerusalem. everyone is welcome. but the default sexual that meant then they could only project. that's what we refuse, was one of the founder of a settlement with this and the story of juice to the eyes of its own people, segregation, occupations discrimination, injustice. this is tied in 21st century jerusalem. a rock and a hard place analogy, 0 tune into i'll just say english in h. d for the best experience to english h. d 's available across europe on satellites. usually the 13 sci astro, long chaos, and astra to g. starting 1st of july, 221 out of their english sd, across europe will only be available on full 512418, the 28000784 further information,
