they were in the barracks with their. opportunity during every they are expected to live but they cannot youngest daughter. and wife adopted yeah when or if he was sixteen months old and he suffered severe pressure to the brain after the form he died just before morning today the b.b.c. website adds context to that reporting of anglo-american attempts to overthrow the government of libya it links libya to the dismissal of the b.b.c. director general out of the milne father of the communications director of jeremy corbin's labor party seamus milne look at how by the time to resume support of the british bombing of libya in twenty eleven leading to the murder of moammar gadhafi the b.b.c. had arguably changed course on reporting illegal military action by nato nations but let's take a look at the broader picture of what is happening in libya with george groves the director employable security at the henry jackson society yesterday on the u.k. state mandated b.b.c. it appears axiomatic that the u.k. and nato can bomb wherever it wants whenever it wants without

a un security council resolution and guests can include arguably extreme neocon far right think tanks like ones named after us politicians who backed ethnically based internment camps in the usa for those of asian origin and wars in southeast asia that perhaps killed six million one man who no longer seems to appear on u.k. mainstream media despite previously working on major stories with organizations like the b.b.c. channel four and the guardian is measured rejoined us greg palast he's famous for his investigations into corporate corruption voter fraud and u.s. backed wars for oil he joins me now via skype from los angeles greg welcome to going on the ground before we get to all sorts of conspiracy theories in the u.s. your reaction to julie dishonors being dragged out of his place of asylum here in london by british police and secret police apparently you are going to arrest julian a sign you're going to have to risk me because i. show the manning wiki leaks documents and you should also jail my colleagues. the guardian you know including alan

rusbridger who was publisher and published the stories originally a you should a rest of course the entire staff of the new york times because they're more than happy to get both of awards for julian a songes work and take credit for it and take the awards but now the times sickeningly applauds the arrest of manning and assigned shoots it's really quite disgusting julius onj whatever you think of him personally and that does not matter he's a journalist and if you say well he's not a real journalist then he's a real source it's one or the other both must be protected if freedom of the press means anything in britain or of the united states you know it is it is sickening this guy and i relied on him for example from the assignment manning wiki leaks documents i uncovered that seventeen months before the deepwater horizon platform

exploded in the gulf and killed eleven people that the owner of that platform british petroleum had covered up in connivance with the u.s. state department and identical blowout in the caspian sea off baku and they covered it up was b.p. denied any wrongdoing all through that period of people i think you're joking about it says explicitly in the indictment that it's the afghan war logs the iraq war logs surprise that they're that clear and that they they say that he shouldn't have leaked documents that obviously revealed war crimes well that's the point. is the crime was committed by the u.s. military in covering up war crimes this was a tremendous service by a songe and manning and he deserves the congressional medal of honor not prison time of course trump said he loved wiki leaks now he's secular state bump aoe cause he. said that it was all style intelligence agency but your media over there and

our media over here arguably they seem to be obsessing about cambridge analytic or and the idea of advertising on facebook i understand that you identified something a little bit more perhaps believable of the koch brothers not even russia what have you what are you been looking at make him a general it is a flyspeck next to the koch brothers computer spying operations legal spying i should say as far as i know they haven't accomplished all i three sixty which kept a dynamic track of eight hundred facts about every single living american that's a lot of information on you cambridge and of they get nothing on the koch brothers but what i'm more i'm concerned about is the massive number of people blocked from voting and for example a truck relied on a guy in kris kobach of kansas who is both the in chief that elected trump it by

the way he was not elected by some email capture that was printed by wiki leaks if it did have by the way one thing i would know if you really believe that some mentions of some material from the memos of hillary clinton and her cronies being public of affected the election well you know what that's what information is supposed to do the truth is the truth it can't be partisan when i talk about taking away votes of black people taking away votes of young people hispanics and others which is a real crime the continuing apartheid in all our electoral system in the us and that's an elected trump that that cannot be discussed on mainstream us television because that breaks the myth of the great american democracy so there's a great america about this america is more of a mockery of democracy than a true demise. prosy but i mean obviously u.s.

authorities would deny any accusations of apartheid in fact so successful as a voter id voter id laws that coming to britain to resume is now trialing them all over in parts of britain what what are the dangers of voter id laws well i can see why theresa may is bringing it to britain because she can't win if you count the votes and that's what happened in has happened in the us about thirty states they require all kinds of id to prove you're an american prove your citizen and the result is that up to five million or he repeat that number from the brennan center for justice which is the there the gold standard information is if the five million people have been blocked from voting or register in the united states overwhelmingly poor people voters of color people would have a tough time it's not easy or cheap to get to get id and you don't have walking citizenship cards by the way in britain so it's not so easy and here's the thing this is to prevent

a crime which doesn't happen the state of indiana was the first to require id forms some type of photo current government id in order to vote like a driver's license they did that in one hundred years of voting they could find a single case of someone else's someone using someone else's identity claiming they were someone else to vote kris kobach and maybe the razor way would say no no this is about trying to get accurate votes are you saying that kris kobach who i should say is on the career upswing what with changes in the trumpet ministration in the immigration department do you think that voter suppression could could ensure donald trump's reelection in twenty to one hundred percent i've been investigating this for rolling stone now and kris kobach for rolling stone for six years and he came up with a system called interstate cross-check which knocked out one point one million people he said he said seven million americans are suspected of voting twice and.

yes he couldn't find one he couldn't find one voting twice and yet he removed over a million people from the voter rolls overwhelmingly voters of color you know he said foreigners are voting in american elections he claimed one million foreigners vote in u.s. elections for hillary clinton which explains your popular vote victory no sir but quite aside from that kind of electoral manipulation arguably there's an even better way and the european union and all trump of dunnit recognizing candidates of that choice to be the leaders of countries of their choice what do you make of the focus on venezuela from brussels and from washington that's just horrific attack on democracy i covered venezuela for the guardian and b.b.c. television i was there during the coup d'etat in which in two thousand and two when hugo chavez was kidnapped and you had european leaders and u.s. press and u.s. government say oh well he resigned you know he was so unpopular i went down there

and saw of a million people in the streets marching on the presidential palace to grab and dismember the coo coo plotters unless they. brought back hugo chavez safely to his desk which they did i this is quite amazing to me and by the way here's a connection once again it's the corporate connection last year the british government and british petroleum asked the venezuelan government you know the guys they call dictators to give british petroleum the oil fields of that were run by french top the french company they wanted the french fields so at that point if if venezuela had given british petroleum the your oil fields you know then they wouldn't and then obviously the government wouldn't be a dictatorship for people understand what's really going on in venezuela because your press even in britain and europe has been terrible on this. and i saw this

back when charles was president of the understand of the current government like charges is made up of misty's those people the charges as he told me are neither all in you let me say i'm black and i'm indian featured in the white people hate this is a seventy percent. miskito nation that is it's made up of people who are black or mixed race or indigenous people seventy percent for four hundred years they were under the control of the white elite and there was massive poverty massive poverty while sitting on on the world's biggest pool chavez was like their nelson mandela and yes you would see massive demonstrations against chavez but when i was down there for british networks i saw those demonstrators against chavez were the white minority it's seventeen years almost to the day that i have as was returned after being kidnapped by washington backed operatives who are say in venezuela what it

charges tell you about though the koch brothers i understand because they have a they have a part to play in venezuela as well the number one customer in the world the venezuelan oil are the koch brothers they have refineries on the gulf coast of texas they say why can't these texas oil because the refineries owned by the koch brothers can only use the super heavy oil that you find in either venezuela or canada since right now there's no pipeline to get that tar sands heavy gunky oil out of canada the koch brothers did rely on venezuela and then as well was charging them a massive premium for that work because the cokes are captive customers so the coasts of the bin you know applauding any attempt or a chance to overthrow the government of venezuela violently that we work with the oil companies and cut their prices but just finally and briefly needly that that fell for the koch brothers the dealings with the trumpet ministrations attitude to climate change and fossil fuels and the keystone x.l.

pipeline yes well you know that truck. has approved bringing down that oil from canada but it's not there yet and so they have they're basically if they can bring your oil down from canada cheaply then they're going to have to get it from venezuela and arst. kerry state and the national security adviser by the way john bolton has said publicly he's talking to us oil companies like exxon about seizing the oil assets of venezuela the problem is that venezuelans don't want to give up their resources as china has told me we are not colony anymore greg palast thank you you're welcome after the break british colonial war crimes still being covered up we speak to jolly and well a bug from t.v. liberation committee member will decide about operation legacy and one hundred years since the british murder up to one thousand innocent protest has all of them all coming on but you have going underground.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then . bests drugs right her cocaine sons were four bucks for dia under fifty to everybody use cocaine. cocaine you can smoke it this is worth fifteen thirty. twenty. k. to this is about

a fifteen dollar bad people smoke this one go figure seka this way you can find these drugs any city in the united states that you walk along as you want to get it about to. make money. that's what i do every day. i do numbers. they matter to us with over one trillion dollars debt more than ten white collar. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be. eight percent world market thirty percent somewhat one hundred forty three per second per second and we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the

only number you need remember one you know for the mid one and only. welcome back how many civilians just resumes government help to slaughter slaughter like this as have lived on this channel in the past few months in yemen over forty civilians have reportedly been killed by a society led airstrike most of them children the strike hit a school bus and the marketplace a word of warning you might find the upcoming picture is disturbing according to the latest information from the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight more were injured including thirty children there are being more disturbing pictures from yemen seventy two hours after the u.k. backed killing of children of a girls' school revelations of u.k.

ground troops prompted one m.p. to raise a question in the british parliament it was claimed may be to carry out ninety five percent of the preparations for typhoon bombing rights including the one that killed forty schoolchildren in opus two last year move the government now to review arms. expose licenses to saudi arabia and the british complicity in these bombings you know said theresa may before she flew off to europe to continue chaotic breaks of negotiations is the same reply she always gives as other nations ban selling weapons to the conflict threatening twenty million people can i say to the owner of the lady that we have one of the toughest regimes in relation to the export of arms across the world jeremy corbyn wants an immediate arms embargo but then did anyone expect resume to apologize for the mass mutilation of children with british weapons because she didn't even arguably apologize for a massacre of civilians a hundred years ago the tragedy of. nine hundred nineteen

is a shameful scar on british indian history as her majesty the queen said before visiting one of the in one thousand nine hundred seven it is a distressing example of our past history with india yes the massacre of civilians in number two was distressing german corbin wanted an apology. thank you mr speaker i'm very pleased that the prime minister mentioned what happened in johannesburg and the issues of the massacre at amritsar one hundred years ago i think the people in memory of those that lost their lives in the brutality of what happened deserve a full clear and unequivocal apology for what took place well for more on the center in europe i'm joined now by julian while the bags and commemoration committee member labor peer lord decide lord as i welcome to going underground so what is the enjoying legacy of the british well security jolly well above one hundred years ago. it was good for a change in the tactics of the independence movement. the transfer in the

british was the last of the buck. that was one. of the people that ok you no longer classes. because gandhi was an empire loyalist. you know he helped recruit people for the first world war very few people do this but he always believed that whatever else was wrong here is from both the good thing and the julian lot of other massacre more convinced him. and after that i think the international congress broke. from the government and started this moment for complete independence so that is going in well above the legacy we have doctors are able to sunny claiming in the middle times and the statement of the b.b.c. the numbers are exaggerated and in fact this is this is being too hard on the british i did the in the midst of exaggerated my life was written a book about is

a decently jillion one the buggery old story and there are two things it is just what happened that day and they didn't bother buck. although it was a great tragedy but punjab was being thrown over and being bombed. or good you know as well as armor and such but it was under siege you cannot of soldiers would come back would fall to the first floor that of inflation the russian revolution had just happened so there was a real nervousness in punjab that this may be a second uprising so and to be there with martial law in. around that time and a lot of the people who were injured couldn't go to hospital because they knew when to help and did be arrested so what what we have now i think slowly in numbers are coming out and my wife has confirmed that she is going to do it in the next edition

the five hundred forty seven about even time this is for more than five hundred died all over injured and so i don't think one can consider these numbers are exaggerated but basically a new book munchen law you don't stop people from having a meeting you don't give them a warning before you fire on them you don't say listen will you please disperse because you're meeting illegal. had that if people had been given room to disperse or you could have this too but most of you a warning. and to shoot and close of old exits but we know and i don't. really want to. give an apology to and i'm not sure the bloody sunday has taught at schools but it took a tory m.p. bo blackman in the commons to say this massacre in india should be taught in school surprised that it's not being taught why do you think this is not being taught at schools you know how many months because they are going to teach in schools for the

british empire. i mean in a sense what is truly good because we now have a population. who just conscious of its history and their insisting i think quite rightly that ought to be taught in schools but. they don't to be taught to school in secondary schools that. can properly explain what was the nuances. i mean it is a complex issue but i think it's a crucial struck me. as you said your wife is saying new paper is released we now since twenty thirteen are getting papers from m i five is involved in special branches involvement in the pre-independence weeks in different british colonies of the mass destruction of documents and evidence why is her late in coming twenty twenty first century where getting these documents and papers still but you know

i've got a lot i don't know. for compensation but i would say that if they've been a clean breast of it they were going to do on stage a lot of good no good because operation legacy was to ensure perhaps things like the. massacre should be remembered with fondness and respect very few people. know about operational things so i think one ought to be. you know told more about it but i think what you were may have happened in the past it would be quite reasonable for the prime minister to say of course we're on the job for. you know and do given the circumstance of the time people behave like that but you know better and. as you said raby implications for compensation but.

said that the best way to one of the dead is to do business deals with india and i think we certainly have evidence now of the attempts to destroy the indian economy premier just before nine hundred forty seven by the british what do you make of that statement do the business deals breaks its business deals about you know basically as it is we have been doing business dealings and second the third largest investor in u.k. you can no longer be kind to india it has to seek indian investment but it's so especially the brics that you can is going to need it no doubt about that. you can india right now either the fifth or the think this economy and india is about to overtake britain so we have to be as british we have to be good to india because we need into this could u.k. will have to negotiate of separate treaty with india and for that reason an apology would be amazingly helpful. so i think you know india this city is unique for

economy it's no longer a colonial ghetto and india's industry and investment will be needed by you and this would be the from the right do you see brics it itself is a phenomenon that's a legacy of. briggs it is part of the whole imperial mentality at least in hard drugs it is a dreaming of eight hundred fifty s. in the free trade in. we were monstrous of the you know and you know i mean liam fox is over played putin will probably walk and five minutes that whole mentality stood to be obsolete but it's very powerful and in one branch of the conservative party and he is suffering because of that see there's an empire and that the second world war and how we fought for europe i did it for the europeans we were we to

secure them there better be nice to us at times times of change you can do lords and ladies laugh about it in the of the place of the house and that would be no it's not so much love to be mentioned that he said that the one of the problems is the did these boys go to public schools and this is the kind of history that i mean forget about the comprehensive they should teach general about can eat . in the haram we would have a much better governing as a colonial adventures not over here. you know you would need seven dollars to say i'm sitting here i mean it is you could easily say it's all black you dismiss all white i think that mixed picture elections are going on in your right. what is the idea of elections what is the idea of universal francesco but idea of income from part of the idea of common local. so yes bad things happen but other

things happen in. the industry. and there are. retreats you could talk about all that's my view yes it was on the whole thing which of happen in there would have been better off without the clue. so little. but it happened and it is a mixed blessing and it's very difficult to strike a balance i have in my book even. tried by best to see how and count in the how indians history changes it of us from country it's all about trust but you know yes it has to be a nuance just. thank you for the show keep in touch by social media will be back on wednesday fifty eight years the day of the cia the bay of pigs invasion of communist cuba.

came here where did you work before you came here when you live. in many u.s. states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us somebody even proven innocent years on death row and how many more races is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only and. exists i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan movies a 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 bath 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. the business model of facebook is to pressure people to continue communicating through facebook and giving facebook personal information this is what makes facebook a surveillance monster so facebook does not have users facebook has

used its people that facebook use it's. the trouble is that. all hope all. people. go through most of the homeless is about to give up. oh.

please. those must be. with julian assange now in prison waiting for his fate to be decided if we look at the media's dramatic u. turn regarding the arch whistleblower tailing him first as a hero of journalism then as a colluding villain. human rights organizations cry foul after a palestinian activist is denied entry to the united states we spoke to omar about his experience. with the u.s. administration has been mobilized now to do israel's bidding and trying to silence the stadium international team but i'd say fenders. and as euro skeptic parties thrive i had to eat.
