already the regulator i forgot the first name so something phrased he was actually in the straight in the way you can tell he accused me of being a dangerous subversive. and that this was in fact to stop playing to a cold day in granada's senior executives and demanded that something be done about me well of course they didn't have any intention of doing anything about me the founder of granada television city bones of more bernstein actually wrote to the sunday times saying it was the very kind of. journalism that he wanted to see more of more of such different days you talk about the use of drugs you talk about psyops units and you talk about a press conference language because you're seen in a quiet mutiny asking questions about and we've got to remember this is a war with gadgets if it is now saying up to four million killed by

a by the united states the the language used to talk about war even in this first of your films well the five o'clock follies for the daily press conference and the interesting thing is that most journalists didn't believe a word of what was said by the u.s. spokesman i mean i have to say one almost felt sorry for him at times but i asked i thought what a pertinent questions and the question i asked in the film was how many u.s. servicemen how many u.s. soldiers had been cooled by mistake or by accident in vietnam and friendly fire and the answer was more than fifty percent it was a shocking statistic it was a war of chaotic. mistakes of disasters willfully began willfully executed but

a war of terrible error is his prevarication his wavering but he didn't answer the question itself spoke volumes ok let's go to a clip now from here zero the silent death of cambodia. these children are the end of a process began by impeccable politicians who took their decisions at great distance from the results of their savitri their style may have differed from pol pot's but the effect was the same the bombs are like falling rain wrote a child in nine hundred seventy three a year in which the tonnage of bombs dropped on cambodia exceeded by ha the entire tonnage dropped on japan in world war two the price of a cambodian life was incidentally one hundred dollars compensation making year zero was something of. a turning point for me i had never seen

anything like it. when with my crew and david munroe my director and i made many films. very pipe of the photographer when we arrived in norman pen it was as if a ball my great bomb exploded and killed all the people left the buildings standing it was devastation population had been forced marched into the countryside and then the first monsoon rains the surreal which was there all the time really added to this with millions of. dollars worth of bank notes flowing from the bank of cambodia which the camaro rouge had blown up as they fled and so the symbols within cambodia was of

people of the main symbol was i suppose of one o. woman trying to light a fire with banks it's cambodia represented the whole distortion of the human experience the raining all bombs on a defenseless peasant people and so that that impact we didn't do anything we didn't film and nothing for a day we were so we were so almost hypnotized horrified by this and yet you showed the connections with the u.s. policy coming out state department cambodia is no or a would be used to describe the failure of the left in developing nations the failure of communism and just explain explain that even though of course in your film you're going to acting it up with the new imperialist policy coming out of washington was quite interesting the reaction to it had i stuck simply to

assaulting people's emotions. those children you saw there even there you mentioned money in the clip we just gave us how do i stop to vote and not can text realized it and said that this has been brought about by this by by bombing by huge moral corruption cambodia then was a stricken country under sanctions no less from the united states even though the camaro rouge had got and the committee ridges represented in your members were being supported the command fled to the top border where they were being supported . by the west and the committee of rouge represented the admin the united nations was recognized by the world so as a model contortion this was quite epic the conditions that created it the

conclusion you were created by the american bombing the cia reports that came out following is zero. were very clear they said the nie paraphrase al bombing provided the catalyst for the rise and rise of a small sect in the countryside that would never have come to power had we not bomb the country flat which they basically did what began kissinger and nixon completed they were there were two phases in the genocide in cambodia film came under huge assault because it adapted why the why that's what i'll be talking about at the british library talking about documentaries the adding of the why you don't get it right all the time but

if you have the evidence you do have the responsibility to attempt to draw a conclusion is you responsible just to show it without any conscious yes that is because you know what it's going to do it is going to. as i say scoop up people's emotions and they are going to wasp-y. but they won't get an answer to that question and things only changing in cambodia or wherever. if people have the information of why i things have happened in the first place and that is the role of a documentary to make at least a political documentary maker and one dealing with such serious matters. such is life and death in a country that was bombed many more times than hiroshima was by the elites might not have liked your wise what happened in the aftermath of that documentary being billed as two british t.v. it it was astonishing. it raised more than fifty million

dollars on some of us that we didn't ask for any money and in it came the british people gave well i'll give you an example central television and we were pretty good and sends people well isn't it went if we saw where it went because the next film cambodia you won we showed view view as we. i also oxfam has a slightly different. and ourselves. we both factories. that provided clothing to people previously the population had been ordered to wear all black by paul paul these gang we provided food and medicines the first plane loads of vitamins for the children antibiotics who know all but were all provided by by not only the view is of you zero you must remember there was it was the media

in a kind of two prone thing i've written this for the daily mirror the daily mirror produced two issues one issue was almost entirely cambodia and that issues sold out but people gave in small amounts that amounted to millions of pounds the b.b.c. this was night t.v. programme the b.b.c. joined in can you believe there was a children's bring in by campaign at schools in primary schools using my film. that raised a million pounds and all of this all of this went directly into helping people of cambodia it became not so much charity because the film itself was a political film it became something of a cause. thank you more from after the break including him challenging south

african leader nelson mandela told the civil coming of about two hundred going underground. gun some is not so is not that can quit places not good to country and. true just to get the minister to live but she. loves from. a visitor that's good at this is the this is. the state of the culture. of the cult of less sure of the family of the secular suggests holiness just for the embrace from a fellow muslim of themselves to be little. mostly on

a slow slow. play almost anything from the mother for any place the dots they come out of that are john said i'm based on i'm much less credit tightening can i do not blast color with lies from catholic matter how not a case from a show. in the fucking on the can elude him almost surely now words could fuck him on a. cool road seducer timisoara enough hours ago should be able to sleep i don't want to go to the susan the micra voices in his or the one of the street the. cinema of our government allows us. to see all those who are supposed to. be everybody i'm stephen baldwin to ask hollywood guy you know suspects they were proud americans first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. i'm losing steam this is my buddy max famous financial guru and we're just

a little bit different i've hunted abraham lincoln high not knowing there was no god with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. welcome back west still here with legendary journalist and filmmaker john pilger join your journalism as up until the questionable victory of the idea but i'd struggle let's go to a clip where you rather than just celebrating the the freedom of nelson mandela finally you challenge him i read that in bangkok the shia you said we are willing

to deal with any region irrespective of the internal policies of any country is that is that correct oh you know something that. would have happened to south africa if that the fed it being applied to the eye and say during the struggle. if that attitude of tolerance had been applied truly apartheid modified last longer than it did there is not really a fundamental difference with the point that i should say every other journalist at this time was celebrate the same ones that were calling him a terrorist actually on british media what now celebrating the freedom of this man well it's a lot to celebrate. and i celebrated to show he done twenty seven years inside and he's an extraordinary man of s.g. for that of his you're his death and jess is extra extra absolutely all the advise and the first thing he said when i met him he said it's

a great owner to have been banned from like tree i've never known the president of the country and even to suggest something like even if you would to me yes one of the early questions i asked him was. you've been really made into a saint at how do you feel about that he said that it's not the job i applied for the. hand he had a good sense of irony although he didn't like the challenge and it was a time when mandela was being treated as a saint by all kinds of people for all kinds of reasons white liberals in south africa who really got away the white population let's say what the white population had got away scot free actually and mandela was the ticket because he made south

africa respectable again i challenge mandela on a few things one what he'd said when he was released that all the great industries and the resources of south africa the gold in the minerals in the mines would come under public ownership and be owned by the people that the freedom chahta which the a.n.c. said that it stood by would apply and he says it does in this film with this he did he says it does but it doesn't and that's when he said to me in in this interview. i have to tell you that privatized sation is the fundamental policy of the n c and i said to him but that's the very opposite of what you said when you were released and that got me into quite a bit of trouble because i was seen as being disrespectful to mandela by

even challenging him but that full apartheid did not die which said there were two apartheid there was racial apartheid and there was economic and one would say class but economic apartheid economic apartheid did not change and today i've just been in south africa economic apartheid runs right through the country. the majority of its people over thirty million still live in the most grinding poverty while i was there there was a terrible case not untypical of a young black kid who drowned in a school latrine pit in the same newspaper so i turned the pages they was south africa's first black billionaire that south africa has almost become

a kind of model for an economic apartheid across the world and that hasn't changed and i suppose that was the essence. that was fairly clear to me at the time when i interviewed mandela that was really the only question that as a journalist i could ask him it was a terribly respectful. interview and we spent some time chatting afterwards and so on so but he had said one thing and then said another thing. and the other thing did not offer any real help to the majority of his people in which. who would put such faith in him not only in him but the whole a.n.c. apparatus he was he was very very faithful very loyal to

the a.n.c. and the a.n.c. now is has got a bad reputation in south africa i'm not talking about white people we're talking about the majority of people are going to say that question did inspire me to ask him if years later when he was selling arms in the middle east doesn't matter himself why is it you think that through a lot of your fans as it was around the world you are known for your foreign affairs documentaries and filmmaking and yet you made school is a films attacking abuses of power in this country you know and the same people who adore your films in certain foreign countries and others maybe forget about the ones you made against britain british policy when i first came to britain from a straight. i was sent to by the daily mirror to work can cause live in the north of england and this was during

the most ferocious winter since the seventeenth century and i didn't have a coat but i love the place i was almost just in the end of the industrial revolution in the sixty's and the mines were still operating so here was another closs of britain's i drew personally and professionally very close to understanding that great industrial history and its struggle. i knew that in australia i knew it through my parents and so i was i think quite committed at that stage to write and film quite a lot about the struggle in this country and to hear its witnesses. and i made one film for granada called conversations with

a working man and it was simply jack who was a dive work in keathley in yorkshire who spent his days standing up in di up to is up to is knees almost and i asked him what he thought about and what he's politics were and what his passions were and i got more from that interview from jack and from his family i think than from many interviews i've done with people with great institutional titles there are jacks these days of course they work in in in in great warehouses. packaging up things to send us and they work in the so-called hospitality business and so and if i was

starting again perhaps i'd go to them but it's the one i would think it is the one major element missing and that is the story of work and the story of working people the media although the accents of changed there's plenty of diversity. but the story of working class people and how they think and speak and what they want is still in many respects in many respects suppressed in particular the attack of course the broke us here in britain not just the b.b.c. but to this day by day to b.b.c. when it comes to their coverage of wars and that's a good clip here from the war you don't see where you cross-examine someone from the b.b.c. . who's the palestinian equivalent of mark rego who appeared so often who's the palestinian equivalent of all those mainly female israeli spokespeople during

operation cast lead who is who is there are quite fluent articulate in english given given the space right at the top of b.b.c. news i think that's a very good point you know who all those people yes it was nothing you see that's not our job to go out and point the palestinians experts are so you're impartial surely you would find somebody to be yes i've missed the rigor of saying his say but then he's equivalent we do and we did you don't actually you don't have an equivalent of mark reg of that's just not true just because there isn't an equivalent of marek it doesn't mean to say that we didn't allow those viewpoints which you've just expressed to be heard across the range of our output and greg of now the israeli ambassador to britain indeed indeed is going up assuming that's a promotion what did this really see gandhi mean the b.b.c.

is has the most brilliant production values it produces. the most extraordinary natural history and drama series but the b.b.c. is and has long been the most refined propaganda service in the world i find the double standards these. bogus attacks on r t. if you compared with the the. b.b.c.'s record of the suppression. i remember calculating during the irish war something like forty eight major b.b.c. programmes either. and dr good or delayed but around the b.b.c. there's the sort of cult that if you into the b.b.c. you immediately rise to an avant the of of impartiality and there are two

sides to everything that's nonsense to begin with but the b.b.c. is an extension of these fabrics daughter in this country i don't think that's even controversial it just is it does some very fine work but it just isn't for to claim that it isn't another has really subverting the british state by giving another view is just absurd if journalists out there watching but one to be like you that i would want to go to this exhibition what are they supposed to do that learns maybe they've got their first job it how do they get to emulate well they shouldn't i shouldn't think of emulating anybody just being themselves following the star themselves being themselves being true to themselves many don't really want to go into this kind of. they need to go into rather more benign or is of

journalism whatever but those who do it's difficult but they should stay true to themselves and that's difficult they have to almost learn to navigate through systems and not be deterred by people along the way i know that sounds rather trite but it it is what they need to do if they want to keep going the moment they accept say the b.b.c. view with the world that there are only. i meet two sides would argue but both sides are on what we call the establishment thought then it's over. thank you thank you that's it for the show will be back on wednesday when is it going price fluctuations scares the markets we speak to the russian federation as deputy minister of economic development but the new crypto ruble still dead keep in touch via social media with your wednesday nineteen years to the day they do their job as it was victorious and that is where the presidential elections

a platform from which will transform the lives of millions of venezuelans are going to be policies supported by the media and western europe's largest socialist but the german cool. michael flynn admits lying to the f.b.i. the reaction of russia gators and the liberal media is jubilation but why when submission in fact deflates the now popular conspiracy theory. here's what people have been saying about redacted in night six just full on austin the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know a lot of the really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same we are apparently better than the blue. sea savior you never heard of love right back to

the night my president of the world bank go. write me seriously send us an e-mail join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. altie we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best

fall since my last will call when that starts or three. thousand zero zero zero zero hitter here i call brushing. my strife. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. stein is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and middle fiddlesticks misted to do it look like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going local study hall meeting. john no doubt. the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is and of those who in the world under the oak vision didn't know when you could get it. and know it is all up at night as to how to display any of the most of the jihad i'm going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more commitments also some piss off.

there is no center in the united states political discourse it's all center right ever since the clinton camp the people who came into power the center right has become the right and there is no peace party that exists in my country and i don't see any evidence of it except this third party. the green party. going to have a. breaking
