a the most interesting developing developed powers in the world. china and russia. i mean you know the truth is what nobody is talking about is there is a world war. it's not a shooting war but it could easily become a world war there was a war already on china there has been a war of attrition against russia for somebody is now breaking up the russian federation is an american objective. the the. maintaining. maintaining the supremacy of the u.s. in all areas of human affairs economic affairs cultural failure is is what this particularly this really regime and washington is committed to all
2:31 pm
regimes have been committed to it's now reaching ahead. because they see a challenge in china a challenge that. and undoubtably it's an economic challenge but it's not a military challenge. this 19th century view of the world that permeates washington and has returned to this country in the united kingdom. has now created a war situation with china very few know that china has now changed its nuclear posture from low alert but is separating the warheads from ms solves to high alert putting them together the same as the united states that's something china didn't do for many many is but they clearly now because it would do him and
2:32 pm
you is the coming war in china you that say it is a war we've seen color revolutions thwarted some successful against putin in russia . millions of pounds dollars have been going in from the national endowment for democracy can home call we just maging understand what hong kong is oh yes yes i think beijing understands perfectly but the reason that there is. a rebellion in china nerve is is complex of course largely made the bet that the people in home kong do have a grievance they are. is an inequality but really what has happened is that manufacturing has moved to the mainland the interference in home comb the the subversion and home comb by the us through the national endowment for democracy through its local agents like the local modo and ollie the others
2:33 pm
who make regular pilgrimages to john bolton of course they are part of the war on china that's not to take away from the fact that there are grievances within china but within hong kong but. the the home comb didn't sign on for 2 countries to system it's signed up for one country and 2 systems and i find it almost. grotesque that the whole idea of the power of the union jack should be draped. the the speaker's chair in the assembly and home home when it was the union jack over 150 years that represented an oppressive system i went to hong kong several times to write about the oppression of the police under the british under the british. a
2:34 pm
corrupt police force led by british offices a brutal police false. there was never any democracy even up to the 99 g.'s right up to the 99 days. what they was they was hong kong has been a business silent while one could say that perhaps china is a business now. and and the mainland has used this special role of hong kong so why here we need to do endless images as you say. there's no doubt some of these protests have justification for opposing what is going on and on god but yet the. protests probably not going to be discussed in berets this weekend in the g 7 because never before have people been. called upon to think within such
2:35 pm
a narrow spectrum. and we could sit here all day talking about inequities of the media and so on but it's even wider than the media there is a spectrum in which we are if you like allowed to think. the news is dominated by a home kong and yet 29 miles from being on those fronts and this extraordinary rebellion of the yellowjackets which is produced the most. equally extraordinary violence from the state has been virtually ignored. the same is true of kashmir i mean kashmir it was a fleeting moment if you like in our perceptual allowed into our perception and here is a country bigger than the. bigger than belgium bigger than portugal 13000000 people where people are denied everything food by the indian state denied
2:36 pm
denied food freedom of movement freedom of expression. and i enjoy it and he has been doing this for a very very long time but kashmir of course india is our friend the world's greatest democracy and so some says he's being even handed on to china of course which has an interest there another nuclear power apart from the other 2 has taken it up at the security council it's a perception i suppose that where we're thinking about our perception of of the way people were concerned that we're going to run out of medicines after october 31st we have no perception of the way the people of iran the suffering under the sanctions. denied cancer drugs almost entirely because of the sanctions the way they have no perception of the way the people of venezuela. a suffering
2:37 pm
under the sanctions. we have we have we have absolutely zilch understanding of how the people of gaza continue to suffer in the open prison as that has been obliterated almost from the news agenda or in and by extension from perception so within this this spectrum of this narrow spectrum the manipulation of people. is. probably the most extraordinary i've known in my career as a journalist but obviously it's not a physiological problem amongst journalists in newsrooms around the world to think of understand say breaks it no deal there's no there going to be problems here or meds and food and no understanding yemen. i think it's almost i think
2:38 pm
worrying about what journalists thing i think journalists have given up. many journalists have simply given up there is a so-called mainstream which is a misnomer that is not a mainstream atoll it is an agency of extreme economic policies policies the produce. has. 4.1000000 children in poverty in britain. with children hungry during the summer. 4000000 children 2000000 under the age of 5 in britain yes it is. and and the kind of suffering that has come out of these extreme paulo's is cold neo liberalism or whatever you want to call it is echoed through our media in the same way that the the the whole absence of
2:39 pm
a warning. that these vernon can pay against china and russia particularly against the nuclear armed countries could actually lead to something the abandonment by the united states of the i and if treaty the most important anti nuclear war treaty signed and here we had yesterday i think it was the u.s. . now testing again these intermediate range nuclear weapons cruise weapons and russia saying well yes of course we were in the noms race against. the dangers of this the dangers of of accidentally my state can be beginning a nuclear war i'm not known to most people that i was you let slip out of this spectrum some say the i.n.f. treaty had to be revised because china was always opposing and was violating the
2:40 pm
terms of the environment in which the i have treaty was originally created between go but show that come out of washington and even if that treaty did need revision then revise it sit down i remember those discussions and i interviewed a number of the american negotiators extraordinary man like paul won't king who who sat down and negotiated with the russians these complex treaty they were serious people. we are not dealing with serious people. in this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very
2:41 pm
critical time to sit down and talk. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict within the game between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes you get some 20 year life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about your so your care might anything.
2:42 pm
welcome back and still with legendary filmmaker and journalist john pilger some school textbooks in this country still say that you were negative he was the prices to pay for ending the 2nd world war you went they only have to read the the usa of force. bombings. and that's very clear that that wasn't the case when i 1st went to hiroshima was just about just over 20 years after the bomb was dropped and it had an extraordinary effect on me i saw on the steps of a bank in the middle of hiroshima the shadow of a woman she'd been sitting there. apparently preparing her lunch sitting on the steps when the flash happened a bomb dropped on the oldest of 6945 and her image was burnt
2:43 pm
into the steps of the bank i remember looking at this image of the woman you could see her shape. almost her relax position and the impact that had on me was. quite profound actually. and it obviously had an impact on many people because they got rid of that they got rid of the shadow. japan under u.s. pressure got rid of this extraordinary shadow and it's not they are in a mole now i would suggest that that shadow. represents something ahead of us unless we start understanding the true danger of the recklessness of governments but joan bolden the national security advisor
2:44 pm
devises trump we're led to believe says that all options should be on the table against dictators like the dura against. people in iran who believe that government who. all these different places i've interviewed john bolton john bolton comes as close to being a political lunatic as you can get. had friend the conversations with boris johnson he had just the other week. off on political lunatics can have very friendly conversations with all those that they recognize similarities with but bolton particularly is a man absolutely salivating it appears and i don't think i've ever said this about any politician of this card for a war or for an attack or for an overthrow or for a coup. that he's in the position he's in is the most terrifying thing.
2:45 pm
but i mean in foreign policy terms you see the european union which completely backs your own bolton's view on venezuela britain and brussels completely aligned with washington saying kwon do is the real leader venezuela the e.u. is a and of nato well you see the problem the problem with the whole breaks it don't see this this is actually almost internet sign. struggle of will. following the referendum and 2016 is how much it excludes there is no public debate certainly no problem entry debate probably never would have paid but no public. debate on the fact that the european union is an agency of nato is almost by definition certainly by
2:46 pm
by example a nuclear war fighting provocative organization all these are supported by the you it should be part of al debate about the no doubt there are great virtues in some things about the you who is the going to thing jeremy goldman the leader of the labor party here in britain used to talk about is there a reason why he perhaps has been on the fence or is raghad is on the fence about the mix it with his bricks it because he understands that theory cope and seems to become so overwhelmed by bricks it. where is the country this country in which so many people are suffering as a result of this hideous ideology austerity one only has to drive outside london you know i've done in the making the film i'm making about
2:47 pm
a national health service and and drive into rather nice places like will and see the boarded up towns this is what. this is what this needs a labor leader now jeremy cole button has presented himself as that label. but bricks it seems to have overwhelmed. every party anyone who steps anywhere in a pile of money or to this subject it's a very important subject of course no deal or no deal but what is most important is whether. the national health service will survive not bricks it but survive the ideological to tax on where the people will survive this hideous mutation of welfare called universal credit and. a father of 3
2:48 pm
killed himself because he couldn't because he had no money and a boy it hadn't come through on the universal credit. the suffering of people. in this country in this developed country. which now what is that 6 o 7. richest country of the world is obscene maybe the 5th or 6th as you say i mean this is a week when the child to trust to britain children are eating toilet paper of just table fungo but it is this in a sense when you talk about the united states and germany is the achilles heel because it was bernie sanders you'll see gathered there are people heading for 2022 of it through democratically donald trump who seem to have a different vision and is the grace is the context of foreign policy home policy the age. i mean i think in the rest of the. democrats
2:49 pm
rushing to catch up with the social kind of social democracy that was beaten in europe and is now being rapidly extinguished in europe for quite a long time but the foreign policy doesn't change i had 2 of the leading socialists. at least they call them members of the democratic socialists of america vote for donald trump's 738000000000 bob jewett recently now congress because congress. that should concern us in the outside world but. the alphas. which they interesting they call the left and in the united states they are. you know ok but as social democrats whether they bring some kind of form of
2:50 pm
civilized life. to a country where now up to hof. the population up the hoff the population are suffering some form of impoverishment in the united states he said he would hear them defending julian assange of wiki leaks of anything they might seem to be as part of those people who consider weiqi leaks a russian because that would organization you met julian as belmarsh prison from this chelsea manning of course refusing to testify against julian as. she's in solitary in the united states telling us a bit about julian's health. but can i just say very quickly. in that we've been talking about censorship by a mission on a huge scale a federal court ruled that but they have walls no russian connection with julian
2:51 pm
assange. but that he had constitutional rights to do as he did as a journalist and as a publisher and that has been completely know what julian's own condition is is. how do i put it it's very dangerous when i last saw him about 10 days ago. i was shocked. because he'd taken a loss well wait. he was isolated they seem to be imposing a. regime that must be punitive on him of isolation he's in the health when what they call the health care we all little wing of belmarsh prison but he's in a single cell and he told me that i see people walking by and i'd like to talk to
2:52 pm
them but i can't. category a prisoners murderers and all those who've committed serious crimes. are allowed to fraternise julian is not allowed to fraternize. he's not even allowed to telephone his american lawyers and he's facing extradition to the united states he had to wait 2 and a half months to see an optician. and they want to go to his glasses one of the lanes didn't work. he's being denied the right the right to to prepare his own defense. he's denied access to documents access to the library. a laptop his lawyer. he's solicitor gareth peirce wrote to the governor of belmont shown on the 4th of
2:53 pm
june about about this and received no reply. what's going on if. if there is no basic we understand if there is no basic. justice in the treatment of somebody like this who was in prison because he infringed that is just about the mirror. it's not a crime actually. it is about the mira's thing that the law can nail you for and that is hidden for g q old by l. he is there also of course because he's facing us extradition but privately he's there for this this minor offense and he's being treated in the way that political prisoners are treated all over the world that's. that's
2:54 pm
a monica that won't be appreciated but it applies to his previous button is the guardian newspaper in london the new york times if they helped to seal his fate yes they have helped to seal his fate. mind you they worried. they worried because in this federal court ruling it was made clear by the judge in this very considered. very considered judgment that newspapers like the year old times new york times and the guardian published the war logs. in 2010 the war logs from iraq the war logs for about gonna stop that we could leaks had been the conduit for had had pos to them they published them focused be full week 86 in law. and that's what he was saying
2:55 pm
they. are as liable but they are also as julian is and this is the point he was making are protected by the by the u.s. constitution. now. the u.s. constitution is being torn up by the trumpet ministration. that's why julian basically is in the trouble is all these charges that he's meant to be facing in the united states a concocted ridiculous they don't apply there are the there the charges against the journalist and the publisher but they would apply equally against the editor in chief of the guardian the editor of the new york times and the editor sure of el pais the editor of dish beagle. the editor of the sydney morning herald they know this and they're worried. but they come from such.
2:56 pm
they are in such hoops they collude so deeply with the stablish front of their country and that now means the intelligence agencies. they have the power now in western societies they collude so deeply with them that they they dare not speak up but i suggest if this whole protest sharod against you in the songs goes on they should. speak up pretty quickly you know pilcher thank you. that's of the show never this season will be about goodbye new series but wednesday 11 this is there will be readings only of favorite shows from this season until september the media and make sure to subscribe to our you tube channel see in september.
2:57 pm
why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.
2:58 pm
let me. give me too much as it would get to this you madam he said. just that on the out of that. there's an awful lot in common i'm old but i'm also the most up as he knows i've been a kid who says if they play a little emotional when they meet. his compass he must get all emotional janish him you know he goes from didn't you know it's risky to see he's just put on you will get into a coke. someone don't believe the notion that you see if you i don't like them if. they. come to your list. because here.
2:59 pm
3:00 pm
