he should have been a lord he had the intellectual fire. to be one of the finest judges perhaps the greatest inquiry did he unveil to us to delete between israeli mercenaries and. to smuggle to to bring in guns from. the fight to the right wing factions in south america and kalou rifles and the submachine guns. developed through the little british island of antigua at least british common law. he headed an inquiry which exposed. to glee gunrunning to right wing factions in south america from israel. getting on to the subject of the international criminal court in the

ministration doesn't really affect israel. does because palestine has signed up and there is a real question of investigation crimes against humanity by israeli forces against the palestinian people and this is one of the reasons why president trump and his national security advisor john bolton who he is international with a passion have acted to be trap the international criminal court for fear they will make another rod for israel's back he rejects the national security adviser had rejected their booby trapping because john bolton was quite clear when he said that the international criminal court is dying before. has a hundred twenty three fully signed up members member states many of them american allies and why. smack in the face for them is this astonishing threat despicable

threat strength. if they dare to look at allegations that come from american human rights groups ironically enough that in two thousand and three and two thousand and four they ran torture and death squads . but john bolton has a long history back in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine when i published my book on crimes against humanity he reviewed it for the moonie paper the washington times and the fanatically right wing paper and said this guy's a threat is a danger to america because he's doing that america could should sign up to international justice which then was in its infancy but then the court was together in two thousand and two and by that time bolton who's never been in to do anything

here has no electoral creedence was an advisor to george w. bush and supported the. bill look both and jesse helms and jordan bolton got pasta enabling literally literally enabling the american president to reinvade. them as if they hold an american torture before the international court in the hague it was an absurd piece of legislation but each malice and the stupidity of the man the result of these are your colleagues people you work very. well. for us there from leading european countries from if you like the civilized world the democratic nations of the world that have hitherto look to american leadership the obama administration was very. supportive low they never joined as was the clinton

administration now they're being threatened with arrest i think that this may in fact rebound on america it may in fact stiffen western results to stand up to trump and stand up to this destruction of a wall based. order of rules you mention obama and clinton some would say that actually when the prosecutor. question britain and the united states' role in war crimes in afghanistan or the war crimes. bomber and clinton years it will also come into view. and of course the blair years but britain has done the decent thing and signed up to the international criminal court as has products russia has not now let me into the room so i just pulled out pulled

out but here is a great opportunity for mr putin's russia america is not on a collision course with international justice. it would be tough i think for russia if it really wants to display a degree of stability and acceptance of international rules to ratify the i.c.c. to show america up so that's a possible result ok well you can gradually did britain there for regulators absolutely i only wish that russia would do so and the least. people in britain but i mean that is the that's why russia and china and america do not sign up to it and the ease and out reduce american attack on international

justice that we've got to bear in mind in the background that much the same views may well be held in beijing and moscow but i want to get on to the increasing currency of this kind of view because you congratulate britain or britain obviously once you get out of a globalist court as trumps fans may call it the international of the european court of justice in which there's just been an appeal pick three that they may be able to stop breck's it using westminster. why do you think tourism a wants to get out of the european court of justice or do you think actually as some of her opponent. say secretly she's actually gone with the by ratifying laws previously agreed on by you c.j. maybe he is after twenty twenty britain will still be subject to luis e j which is different from the european court of human rights which is hanging in there. is a very benign court it's basically an i've been there appeared before it they're extremely

nice there's a british judge a scottish judge from different countries of europe they're basically untangle even for a. little regulations they know what germany says that mays priority in backing them is to tie the european union to britain to even laws permanently enforced privatisation and of support for industry that's what the european court of justice is like the european court of justice most notably has helped date prissie by its rulings against facebook various american firms sending british and european data to america where it can be intercepted so the european court of justice has been quite in my experience but nine and shouldn't really supportive of the rights of individual europeans they've been very good for

example on pollution and on interpreted in the euro europe proves a complicated law and so very all of the thousands dead from pollution in this country the volkswagen diesel scandal i mean. laws do provide some protection against what would otherwise be the outrageous pollution on. he didn't see it as the end of this kind of fashion for international justice we need international justice the people who demonstrate around the world call for justice that's what the cry use of oppressed people and we are doing something against america's attempts to be relit to assist them charles taylor for example is in prison in britain. always african not always not always and why not if

they're guilty if africans are guilty let's start with them and then look to the people murdering the routing and of course when it comes to politics in this country the thing it was the word going after all maybe was the telegraph going after german corbin's old friends and mentors michael fuji has drawn the labor party for being a russian agent here permit me to laugh because that's what britain did in one thousand nine hundred ninety five when the sunday times headed headed k g b colon photo was our agent. now i acted for michael forte who was opposed to libel law as he didn't he would always advise people not to sue newspapers but when accused of treason obviously he had to sue and it was a very nerve racking thing to take all those sunday times because michael. he

didn't have a great deal of money he had a little house in hampstead. and his not just his money that he had but his reputation and his loyalty and integrity was up for grabs he would have to go into the witness box and face anything that the murdoch press screwed through of him and i sued rupert murdoch personally because i discovered that i personally approved this piece of demonize ation of a left wing hero i couldn't stand up the story it was based on his. true and. got no new evidence whatsoever and but michael foot he's dead so he counts for libel any longer in those days back in ninety eight ninety five the sunday times

collapse they didn't couldn't stand up the story and they apologized and paid michael force a six figure sum in damages general to stop you there from jeffrey after the break as well as a review of the week's papers. no you don't accept the story just as the oldest was ready to leave. it's. the speed. of television.

and i don't buy this boy who loved me it. was i'm somebody how does know it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting whether they're cheering. and mistrust the tibetans are. going to. be just like you know that into you but i'm a dick to sit. in the muslims while he's going to win the. you know world a big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past

each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back i'm still with jeffrey robinson q.c. jeffrey you represented the brazilian contend for sunday's election in jail right now will it be a fair election now no is improperly in jail and improper and contrary to international law convicted wait a minute is still got an appeal is final appeal has not been heard and.

contrary to principle i was ruled by the united nations human rights committee he was in tight until five should be allowed to campaign and allowed to stand and the government of brazil refuse to follow the orders of the united nations president how does brazil and he is he was named the candidate of the will we. could he do anything to set him free oh no doubt in the i would hope that when the supreme court would deliberately delayed hearing the case when they hear it they will overturn the conviction and lula will be a free man but of course too late to run the country ever wrote and thank you. well joining me now to go on the week's papers is journalist and writer but the

u.k.'s leading independent news site the canary steve jobs or steve thanks for coming back gone quite a few conferences resume brilliantly successful one according to many. yes i'm not sure independent nonpartisan let's go straight to the anti corbin deputy leader of britain's largest labor movement or the largest labor movement in europe obviously is writing about poverty presumedly four million children once of course this is tom watson deputy leader of the labor party tweeted to die all over it into jeremy hunt to ask what investigations are taking part into russian attempts to influence the e.u. referendum in ten pounds an hour fifteen dollars american star. well there is little coverage relative little coverage of that in the mainstream media lots of coverage about how successful the minority government needed to resume has been at a conference much better than last year don saying these are the important facts but your your side seems to be suggesting things. simply not yes.

promises to end austerity again but this time with dancing i should point out at this point this was a satire piece over three trees and i didn't promise to end austerity while doing some rendition of from the film big nights or anything. but like last year she did say we're going to really yeah the point is that course george osborne announced in twenty fifteen that austerity was going to end and then david cameron echoed that and tried to sixteen and tories and i said it last year and she said it again this year this climate is kept being repeated and a lot of the left wing media specially points out the fact that well austerity isn't over because two days before philip hammond announced that some councils were seeing one point two billion more cut from their budgets the next two years i mean it's classic so they are manipulated if you like from the tory party but of course austerity isn't i've as i said the still more welfare cuts we've had the big story this week on the education claims by two ministers at the conservative party conference which the u.k. statistics authority looking into is being followed saying spending has gone up by

this much and we've got the spending in the o.e.c.d. which isn't actually the case. so we have this rhetoric from stories in may where the reality is actually very very very different well she also said it in a speech noticeably that identity politics was noble of the conservative thing saying good things about saying that they are the party of inclusive of this from the guardian about. a kind of blows that there was really so the u.k. threatens to deport grandchildren of it to choke off the ins so this is a story for background obviously nine hundred seventy one britain booted everyone out of the child or silence and sentence of the say shows because they wanted to turn it into what is now known as dag garcia which of course the us military base which has been associated with rendition torture scandal over that's on the labor government consequently what we're now saying is this family example in the picture is the grandchildren of a woman who was due. daughter and whose mother has legal rights. that are not in

charge of the british citizenship and suddenly it's kind of no way that guns have to leave the country now overseas has echoes of the wind rushed scandal. for made it nullifies anything the conservative party and government asked about their wonderful stance on immigration but has apologized for the windrush scandal though they're not for the hostile environment but she has apologized for winter so you're being a bit of she hasn't always as witness can of course but it doesn't it doesn't detract from the fact that all these stories are also one in the same if you like that we have this colonial hangover within not only the conservative policy but also the civil service because it was i was by a big part in this and this is this attitude if you like boards anyone they consider less than them and with things like that when rush i'm announcing this story as well. thank you that's it for the show will be back on monday when we discuss u.s. president will trump trade balancing act with

a former clinton white house director and a man once held by the f.b.i. under special counsel robert rulers investigation until that. monday fifty years to the day it's all the end of the washington d.c. riots and killed twelve people in the wake of the death of martin luther king jr. imax kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun if a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for god's guys or for. what politicians do something.

you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be precise with what the before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live the death penalty just because i think that's not fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying lose just moved to the present and that we're even many of victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace

that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. cooked additional supposed to know what it was and it's up there to look at some of these it's the bullets you're looking it's not going to. lose doing it. see him do you see him if you. look for the showing of the where. he think i'm sure. you have this silly. well which of shipping. the book via the work of the person you would have still. do know what.

was the latest news in the for us. boys and he writes oh yeah that's right. yeah. i. know i. i. just saw today headlines here on r.t. police in france are angered by plans to private security officers as the country

wrestles with improving its security situation. there is a real risk with these agents not having enough training having a weapon in your hand means the possibility of taking a life that was of the question the outrage of a broadcast an old supreme court nomination which has divided america shows no sign of dying down but some supporters of his candidacy even being forced to apologize. i'm brazil go to the polls on sunday with the current frontrunner being compared to donald trump over his remarks on women the media.
