killed or wounded in the last 3 years or been killed or wounded in the last 3 years. it is hard to communicate because i think a sort of compassion fatigue sets in that it is hard to communicate because i think a sort of compassion fatigue sets in and people and then people seemed to visit on percentage city in the white into world is that it leaves to just as it did for the world i didn't put words evil to you as they used for the point of view of unicef ambassador i think we have to keep at it you know it's. just it's our souls that we just have to keep at it and who says it's also very dangerous news organizations are. very worried and dangerous news organizations are. and don't want to risk. the risk of one senator really pursue the crazed then there's a reason to think that the risk of some people of these dangerous place is that they go to syria where they go to but they get very dangerous player traces. of

syria they go to very dangerous places. i mean a news editor at one of our mainstream broker they're not going to be seen a news editor at one of or main street broker they're not going to be sitting there seeing the feed because they're free bitches of the famine coming through and call getting there seeing the feed because they're free bitches of the famine coming through and color and so on and them just going are and yes or no on. martin and then just going you know modern day be on about this but we shouldn't put this on the headline of the nonobvious well the book is do we shouldn't put this on the headlines of the news syria is is is an interesting perspective and lloyd tritter of the times who it is is an interesting perspective and lloyd shooter of the times who to me is the best war correspondent doubt operating where 3 years ago me as the

best war correspondent doubt operating where 3 years ago and coming out of aleppo he got kidnapped by his old mind own mind so and coming out of aleppo he got kidnapped by his old mind own mind shot in both his ankles and was very lucky to survive and all the other would be rolled in both his ankles and was very lucky to survive and all the other would be rolled war reporters took notice of that and a lot of reports done now are from a reporters took notice of that and a lot of reports done now are from across the border crossed the border the 2030 miles distance it's a very safe and straight this is but a great 1st place but of course unicef are in yemen this is one of the reasons i love them. unicef are in yemen this is one of the reasons i love them they are there with partners i mean they are their acts they are there with

partners i mean they are there active on the ground and very very few organizations are because haven't been intimidated out of save on the ground and very very few organizations are because haven't been intimidated out of it and you know i support them because they are that they're there of it. you know i support them because they are there they're there before the cameras arrive and they're there after the cameras leave and that's true of a lot of other before the cameras arrive and they're there after the cameras leave and that's true of a lot of other countries just to the beauty. of us you have. still off still off life life here i fear for the 1st of the start off especially the city official of the recruited even stripped off routed off the streets off and inducted locally recruit recruits it's just tough it's there but it's there it's their country

and there are a lot of un staff have been killed kidnapped there and there are a lot of un staff have been killed kidnapped there. in somalia and in south sudan and. i den density thing ve been been living in such a generous time in all living it on such a miserable judging it was more times i mean all you know but it was really good most but again another super the tip of the health the world health another super the tip of the health the world health organization claiming 1000000 suspected cholera cases the worst cholera outbreak in his isolation claiming 1000000 suspected cholera cases the worst cholera outbreak in history i was shattered when i saw those figures i'm straight i was shattered when i saw those

figures i'm sure they're i'm sure they're right there's no there's no disease control there's a show there i'm sure they're right there's no there's no disease control there's very little sanitation and fresh water these are the conditions in a relative very little sanitation fresh water these are the conditions in a relatively waterless country in which disease flourishes and the fact that the water is country in which disease flourishes. and the fact that it was a old british colony that doesn't help get the message through it was it was a old british colony that doesn't help get the message through it was part of it was an old british colony if you remember there were 2 yemens dolls and sides and part of it was an old british colony if you remember there were 2 yemens dolls in size and the british called and the inability was it was called was was so it was here in south. and at it and it was of an individual involved in the

in the late sixty's rather than a tory sleigh in the i think you got to be hauled in the in the late sixties rather than a tory sleigh in the i think you got to be quite old quite. well in terms of memory but when i think it's really because he and i've got a pretty sleazy bit of an issue into the age cemetery and agent sergeants get them it's beautifully them kept. but it's futile such a long time ago and only but it's all such a long time ago and only old people like me remember. electric me room but the little un of the senate said in the gulf said in september claiming that the brits claim being the bad maybe the complete visit in. may be complicit in war crime war and do you. think the think that it is the

difficult and i felt goal for you going to sell for unicef i know oxfam has been particularly on the line about attacking government i know oxfam has been particularly on the line about attacking government is it difficult for n.g.o.s right now to remain politically impartial in such a is it difficult for n.g.o.s right now to remain politically impartial in such a conflict it is difficult and at this point i will take off my unicef at the spirit allowed to do them for it is difficult and at this point i will take off my unicef at spirit allowed to do that i mean allowing myself to do that i think we've reached a point but yes i mean allowing myself to do that i think we've reached a point 1st sadly not not right for the but the but the of the unions have had little. wear and then we have just 6 years proceeds to go to impose their total present total ban on an arm set on as art of the subtleties to the days.

those the totals 30 to talk about getting the saudi air force has been as shall we say approximate in the last 3 years i went to the saudi air force has been as shall we say approximately in the last 3 years i actually resigned from an advisory committee of a electronics culturally resigned from an advisory committee of a and it was funny company because they were about to get involved in this i said no this is called stop well as you know the britney because they were about to get involved in this i said no this is called a stop well as you know the british government says it has one of the most robust arms control regimes its government says it has one of the most robust arms control regimes in the world when it comes to exporting arms and indeed appealed the decision and we can the world when it comes to exporting arms and indeed appealed the decision in the courts here the attempted to stop u.k. arms sales well again with my eunice wards here that attempted to stop u.k.

arms sales well again with my unicef hats off i would say that we have a robust regime of selling that off i would say that we have a robust regime of selling arms until we don't and suddenly you find things a slipping through which shouldn't noms until we don't and suddenly you find things a slipping through which shouldn't. i'm going to go to bust through simply wanting to equate what she wanted a sort of my way for you to some from what you yourself we are headed for a general election maybe they'll have an impact on policy on yemen i don't know if we are headed for a general election maybe they'll have an impact on policy on yemen i don't know if you were the 1st independent m.p. since 951 who was elected and you were the 1st independent m.p. since 951 who was elected as everyone now talking about independent candidates did you pave the way for these new in everyone now talking about independent candidates

did you pave the way for these new him independent candidates not aligned to any political i will but eyes of managed to get pendant i've handed it's not aligned to any political i was noble as of managed to get him of the unicef off in the last months i mean obviously i was the 1st hint of unicef off in the last months i mean i was the i was the 1st independent to the beaches then sent a few friends and a 50 year 50 year was just such a good 2nd they've used it to the user that children and. i did it i did i did indeed anything to it and he died and of the time for the top i'm done my bit officer bit good times are good not i'm sure i'm not going to show on balance on the job that i did i did it. but now there are a number of they have brought in about 35.4. another 2 tickets a very very good talk about supporting the movie and independence of the comeback campaign launched on one set a good talk about supporting the movie and independence of the comeback campaign

launched on onset of the there's a lot to be said on the president for the town stage of politics you have members of part of that there's a lot to be said when the president for the town stage of politics you have members of parliament who represent the people and not the party but in bell thank you well now let me represent the people and not the party but in bell thank you well now let's. hear from hear jerm little bit of truth when witnessed with. who's in yemen firsthand who say no because he joins me saying the joint i can see from that was about and i got on for just going back. through those mines what the role of britain has been in yemen what the root of all of deliberate political has because. first of all there is a political role. in the war on yemen by supporting. the war on yemen by supporting.

and secluded the security council and the calderon. military already where we're. for a report have said that the british sent a liberal and therefore a lot of people said it is odd but it is. that's a demand vested in what we do not you will not be able to. do without it without that help they want to be held to be a double act that is what i. to conduct that massive strikes on yemen. the main sort of main socially important. was blocked. off. why it was wise to.

form an international investigation team to be sent into yemen you see the british government says national investigation team to be sent into yemen you see the british government says it wants to sell more arms to saudi arabia which of course are then used to bomb it wants to sell more arms to saudi arabia which of course are then used to bomb yemen they back something called the joint incident assessment team and yemen they back something called the joint incident assessment team and i know the united nations is criticize them but they they say for instance the bombing of an m.s.f. i know the united nations is criticize them but they they say for instance the bombing of an m.s.f. hospital was a mistake where is i think you in the hospital was a mistake where is i think you and others claim that there is a deliberate attempt at killing civilians by others claim that there is

a deliberate attempt at killing civilians by british back governments in yemen i don't believe it could be critics back governments in yemen i don't believe it could be called a mistake because there will actually should not be i mistake. a mistake because there will actually should not be i mistake to try to get to a hospital. i'm well aware that the. hospital get to a hospital. i'm well aware that the m.s.f. hospital here in yemen marked on as was their code in it because they're here in yemen and mocked as was their coordinates out of it being given to saudi arabia and the saudi led coalition i believe that that's out of it being given to saudi arabia and the saudi led coalition i believe that that's already out actually actually actually use it as you would in this court decided to give. but it didn't get it

delivered into the thought of you to do so elizabeth ultimately they had to get those also because they have to get out to get some sun as the city of the heart out of. with a bullet and starts a bomb. i believe said he believes that he yet is a. thought it is his own to go there. and it's inside of him in many many says it is. all roads all in vain for us to stretch out up our his power to stay just in the east end the war in yemen or in am i can actually is a big mistake on a night can do actually should not. and actually is a big mistake on a night can do actually should not. be and this and this world in yemen more than 15000 has been killed by direct it is that i and this and this world in yemen more than 15000 has been killed by direct strike 280000 give many civilians many of them children have died 280000 give many civilians many of them children have died from

but event of a disease like malaria and put it out unicef have saved one child die every night for them but event of a disease like malaria and put it out unicef have saved one child die every 10 minutes because of those but even to build diseases that has actually only come after the c 10 minute because of those but even to build diseases that has actually only come after this over the war on blockade on yemen so i believe that yemenis will not follow the war on blockade on yemen so i believe that yemenis will not forget what they might kingdom has done to them because if there was no support tonight forget what they might kingdom has done to them because if there was no support tonight to condemn all the us i don't think that's how the war against yemen will all the us i don't think that's how the war against yemen well it sounds well from here doctors without borders may not like them but who is there in the u.k. back joint you made some. from here doctors without borders may not like them but

who is then the u.k. back joint incidents assessment team actually this is a team that is appointed by saudi arabia so you can sit in success when team actually this is a team that is appointed by saudi arabia so you can imagine what type of person has been appointed there so do they have actually had imagine what type of person has been appointed there so did they have actually been brought up pointed the team that has assassinated. appointed that team that has assassinated. them and no one knows what is his body i believe that they will not come to any of them and no one knows what is his body i believe that they will not come to any decision to directly condemn or directly. decision to directly condemn or directly held accountable about the well. to be this week so when a vessel suddenly

a car in front of us this week hosts an investment conference called the double as a bank in the covered americas occurring of the convention medical literature that . of brazil sonora brazil soft rank the b.b.c. the. trumps on the ground or joint push the city's nik gowing trump son in law gerry kush citi group may just be secret sweet will i am pop store. group may just be secret sweet will i am pop stores. are all these banks there because there's money to be made out of the bombing of yemen yeah of course as are all these banks there because there's money to be made out of the bombing of yemen yeah of course as long as this war in yemen we've seen that the united states and united kingdom out of long as this war in yemen we've seen that the united states and united kingdom autumn deals is depend on creating conflict on wars in many areas adjacent deals as depend on creating conflict. wars in many areas they start with

i'll start with alan is gonna. buy some. and i believe i do and i have meetings. meetings and so did bring in many businessmen. there are. stars or if there are 2 saudi arabia is is because that's all we. call it is. it because that's all we. call it is milking cows because saudi have money because so you have the oil that's why i believe how because saudi have money because so you have the oil that's why i believe saudi will continue in its war and its primary against them and there was a record they will continue in its war on its primary against them and there was a record 5 percent increase in oil prices on the day of the hoof he returned 5 percent increase in oil prices on the day of the hoofy retaliation on the around

in saudi arabia when should we expect allegation on the around in saudi arabia when should we expect the next strikes on saudi oil facilities to be honest the next strikes on saudi oil facilities to be honest i'm not sure but i can tell you if there will be an attack that's going to come i'm not sure but i can tell you if there will be an attack that's going to come it will be a huge and major attack and it could break saudi become it will be huge and major attack and it could break saudi because. they have announced about 2 months ago a truce. they have announced about 2 months ago a truce from one side until now the saudi has not responded to those 2 those there is from one side until now the saudi has not responded to the. that is not our port

which exports 95 percent of the saudi oil production star not our port which exports 95 percent of the saudi oil production and you can imagine if he decided to look old to take on you can imagine if he decided to look old to take that port out i believe that would be a devastating devastating that i believe that would be devastating devastated too so we've got a bia they believe that the world will come to and if united states and u.k. believes maybe they believe that the world will come to end if united states and u.k. believes they want to keep it on in saudi come by or the type of lobbies where we invite a $1.00 to keep it on in saudi come by or the type of lobbies where we invite the saudi ambassador to london and of course all these bankers and people that visit i decide the ambassador in london and of course all these bankers and people that

visit the us in the desert this week alone will order this show hussein albuquerque the devil's in the desert this week alone will order this show hussein albuquerque thank you thank you very much after the break as india prepares to fall and thank you very much after the break as india prepares to formally divide general and kashmir amid ongoing violence what has been the legacy of nordman badly divided general in kashmir amid on going violence what has been the legacy of lord mountbatten 40 years since his assassination by the ira all the similar coming about to him going on the ground. 40 years since his assassination by the ira all the similar coming about to him going on the ground.

so what we've got to do is identify the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only. spearing dramatic development only. exists. and will be successful. and will be ready. to sit down and talk. to sit down and talk.

and. rational. rational. design.

she would. sleep. just fine and that she would. sleep. all.

welcome back to day for. welcome back today 51 years ago the british queen and her husband paid a visit to brazilian fascist cost 51 years ago the british queen and there has been paid a visit to brazilian fascist costa a silver then responsible for some of the worst atrocities against civilians during

the country's year silver than responsible for some of the worst atrocities against civilians during the country's years of u.k. u.s. backed military dictatorship nowadays royals like prince harry more likely as of u.k. u.s. backed military dictatorship nowadays royals like prince harry more likely to go to rugby world cup finals in japan than arguably prop up imperial war crimes to go to rugby world cup finals in japan than arguably prop up imperial war crimes but as violence continues in kashmir between nuclear armed competence a new book has been published but as violence continues in kashmir between nuclear armed competence a new book has been published about a participant in british colonial rule the mountbatten their lives and loves as by about a participant in british colonial rule the mountbatten their lives and loves is by one of britain's most successful the tree agents and biographers and loni he joins me now one of britain's most successful the tree agents and biographers and lani he joins me now andrew welcome back to going underground i know it's 2019 but

a book about mom and you're welcome back to going underground i know it's 2019 but a book about my own bat and you're still found it difficult as you say in the book to get some of that and you're still found it difficult as you say in the book to get some of the offish. well papers from the government that have still not been released about the official papers from the government that have still not been released about mountbatten yes i mean there's a lot that still closed and there are certain papers where we think he's been yes i mean there's a lot that's still closed and there are certain papers where we think he's involved like the can cora boys home papers that would be released last year and i was told they'd be released involved like the can cora boys home papers that would be released last year and i was told they would be released but they wouldn't give them to me until last year and now they've been closed again. they wouldn't give them to me until last year and now they've been closed again but they had to child abuse allegations later in the story but that's just. you know you have to child

abuse allegations later in the story but that's just. in other cases though is it national security that they hide behind national so in other cases though is it national security that they hide behind national security and data protection and international relations and relations with the sovereign i mean they have a whole series it'll security and data protection and international relations and relations with the sovereign i mean they have a whole series exemptions they deploy but yes the still clearly a cover up going on in this extraordinary thing is that public funds were used to buy the baton diaries and letters exemptions they deploy but yes the still clearly a cover up going on and it was extraordinary thing is that public funds were used to buy the baton diaries and letters. in lieu of tax for them and those papers are still remain closed to this. in lieu of tax for them and those papers are still remain closed to this day only in the. later in the book because i do want to go to

the glamorous beginning today only in the. later in the book because i do want to go to the glamorous beginning to look at there were lord ennen who used to be provost of university college london you could hit a book at that were lord ennen who used to be provost of university college london you heard him as saying there were is that about the king or boys or war is that i'm as saying there were is that about the king or boys or war is that of a tempted against perils. well i mean he's involved i think in both an attempted coup against harold wills well i mean he's involved i think in both him as saying there were is not about the king or boys or war is them is saying that about. it attempts not about the king or object boys or war who were is against carroll's well i mean he's involved i think in both i mean the coup i mean 68 against wilson he always denied his involvement but it's quite clear when you know look at the papers and triangulate the correspondence that they base out of tempted against

carroll's. well i mean he's involved i think in both i mean the coup i mean no 68 against wilson he always denied his involvement but it's quite clear when you know look at the papers and triangulate the correspondence that they basically he was very involved he actually put up candidates including the head of her how deeply he was very involved he actually put up candidates including the head of her hammer horror films as a possible member of the cabinet very much but had a very high sense of his own horror films as a possible member of the cabinet very much but had a very high sense of his own. achievement and roll and his qualities and he felt achievement and role and this is his qualities and he felt he could be prime minister and he loved this idea of being in charge of of this national government but of course he could be prime minister and he loved this idea of being in charge of of this national government but of course he says it's edwina his wife who is

on the left he says it's edwina his wife who is on the left and he's on the right and you explore that in the book in great yes well i would say ft and he's on the right so and you explore that in the book in great yes well i would say he was on the right he was very progressive in his views i think in some ways he was very keen as a public servant on the right he was very progressive in his views i think in some ways he was very keen as a public servant as a naval officer not to be seen to be involved but time and time again he can't help himself so he often does a naval officer not to be seen to be involved but time and time again he can't help himself so he threatens to resign during sue is his 1st sea lord he's very against a piece threatens to resign during sue is his 1st sea lord he's very against appeasement and rights to even when he resigns so he does get involved but i think it we needn't and rights to even when he resigns so he does get involved but i think it we know is the one clearly who was almost a communist and she in fact has

a fall is the one clearly who was almost a communist. and she has a follow on how because of her communist associations filed by the f.b.i. yup you know i mean that as long have because of her communist associations filed by the f.b.i. yup you know i mean that he has a fall too but for other things i mean around the world and certainly he has a fall too but for other things i mean around the world and certainly viewers watching this in india and kashmir will view is watching this in india and kashmir will know mountbatten for one thing the mon batten plan to just go through the fact that no mountbatten for one thing the mon batten plan just go through the fact that george is the 6th king george the 6th sense is cousin bowden and endless work has been done on the fact that today the problem george the 6th king george the 6 and his cousin will dwell boughton and endless work has been done

on the fact that today the problems it was in kashmir had a part about that and some is fault. i think so i mean he sent in. 477 with with the instruction to bring bring about an independence inspired by june 1500 feet but i think we but i think it gets really rise redesigns this is not as was told jim was told his name to all this wealth is that jews as well that unless they give it depends much more quickly will be nothing to give it a butcher's thought unless they give in to pence much more quickly will be nothing to give it a butcher's thought is diminishing the i.c.'s is no longer the force it was the sectarian problems of groceries diminishing the i.c.'s is no longer the force it was the sectarian problems of growing that the riots and i think he just rushes things and he was always very impatient throwing the riots and i think he just

rushes things and he was. always very impatient so within 4 months he has to divide this huge country what it was previously and so within 4 months he has to divide this huge country well that was previously in venice or in your book and since it is about the glory you seemed in the center in your book and since it is about the glory yet you seem to suggest that he sped things up deliberately partly because of marital problems with his to suggest that he sped things up deliberately partly because of marital problems with his wife and of course we're talking here about the largest human migration ins wife and of course we're talking here about the largest human migration in world history of 2 of the partition of india i mean you know i think no one world history of 2 of the partition of india i mean you know i think no one to speak to the problems would be partition and that's true of the

engine politicians as well to speak to the problems would be a partition and that's true of the engine politicians as well i think you know he did i don't buy the thought that he did it i think you know he did i don't buy the thought that he did it because you want to get back to his naval career or anything else i think he just felt that the only because you want to get back to his naval career or or anything else i think he just felt that the only way to sort out the problem was to keep things in since the momentum going i think way to sort out the problem was to keep things in since the momentum going i think where he's at fault is he only announced the politicians the boundaries are he's at fault is he only announced the politicians the boundaries after independence he wants intervention celebrations to go with the swing and not instance the after independence he wants intervention celebrations to go with a swing and not instance the british not to be in control when the problems arose.

that would you know also british not to be in control when the problems arose. that would you know also something the engine politicians want of themselves and i think the indian politicians have to take some responsibility for not do something the engine politicians want to themselves and i think the indian politicians have to take some responsibility for not preparing themselves properly because the world warnings about the problems that would wouldn't suit by kevin's preparing themselves properly because the world warnings about the problems that would wouldn't suit by kevin's jenkins who's a governor of the northwest frontier who were warning about what was going to happen. jenkins who is the governor of the northwest frontier who were warning about what was going to happen. but you know and there were troops there prepared to do it but i think the feeling with the british had was that we don't want to be but you know and there were troops there prepared to do it but i think the feeling with the british had was that we don't want to be we're no longer responsible for the constant now it's up to the indians to do what they feel is right we're no longer responsible for the constant now it's up to the indians to do what they feel is right and well here we are certain things that didn't work out but i mean he did

a extraordinary job and well you know certain things it didn't work out but i mean he did a extraordinary job in a very short period of time his commission divided on sectarian grants it was left to do on his own bob in a very short period of time his commission divided on sectarian ground so he was left to do on his own i think this was a feeling there will be much more cooperation than there in fact was later i don't think any no i think this was a feeling there will be much more cooperation than there in fact was later i don't think any normal person would reserve when a 1000000 people were killed because of this no i don't think he felt the need to resign all of us would reserve when a 1000000 people were killed because of this no i don't think he felt the need to resign i think he felt the need to solve the problem and in some ways he did he set up an emergency committee and i think he felt the need to solve the problem and in some ways he did he set up an emergency committee and he in that we know were i think you know selfless in the way they worked and that's in some ways what happened he in that we know were i think you know selfless in the way they were and that's in some ways were the bond with with with their really developed the what they did afterwards so that in some ways was

a bond with with with their really developed what they did afterwards. so that in some ways was i find a stop at the mean the stories always said that if if you're in a hole the best place to stop at the main the story is always said that if if you're in a hole the best place the best person to get you out is to keep but he'll got you into the mess in the 1st place so this is the best person to get you out of his sticky but he'll got you into the mess in the 1st place so this is probably another good example of that the tragedy lives on today in terms of trying to understand really another good example of that the tragedy lives on today in terms of trying to understand god but about an early on in the book when the when you average down court but about an early on in the book when the when you recount the kind of lifestyle they have which is so out of recount the kind of lifestyle they have which is so out of reach and beyond what anyone in british society could have as you say there when they meet chaplain jim beyond what anyone in british society

could read you say that when they meet chaplain charlie chaplin in the anywhere in . baghdad and calls up in a charlie chaplin in the anywhere in. baghdad and calls up in a shy and pathetic little man there's a kind of. emblematic of shy and pathetic little. is a kind of. emblematic of the lack of empathy of lord mountbatten for normal people in this country i mean obviously chaplin was in all he would but the lack of empathy of lord mountbatten for normal people in this country i mean obviously chaplin was it all he would but yeah a working class man from relevant to gossip yeah well i mean that was a circular problem yeah a working class man from relevant to gossip yeah well i mean that was a strictly a private letter i mean he was very arrogant botton a very faint and slightly pompous and i thought letter i mean he was very arrogant man in a very faint and slightly pompous and i think it's actually how they talk i mean i think what the purpose didn't over time is chopping

a bit of think. how they talk i mean i think repurpose student of the time was chopping a made a pasta wiener on the honeymoon or although she'd made a pass at him you know she could be an embarrassment posset wiener on the honeymoon or all she'd made a pass at him you know she could be an embarrassment to him at times because of course not in a public pronouncements but also in her private life and that was up to him at times because of course not in a public pronouncements but also in her private life and that was always his concern you know not to upset the royal family and not to stymie his career always is concerned you know not to upset the royal family and not to stymie his career but the infamous liaison with the great communist. but the infamous liaison with the great communist paul robeson you look at it didn't come out with the fact that maybe the evidence isn't there for ropes when you look at it didn't come out with the fact that maybe the evidence isn't there for a relationship with him paul robeson and. i certainly she had long relationship

with a know about relationship between paul robes and. i certainly she had long relationship with a know about mine called the hotch potch and so i think i do quote some people saying there may have been relation called the hotch potch and i think i do quote some people saying there may have been relationship with ropes and it's difficult to tell she certainly. wasn't averse to the ship with ropes and it's difficult to tell . she certainly wasn't averse to doctoring her diary the official books say there wasn't an affair because she doesn't talk about the ferengi to doctoring her diary the official books say there wasn't an affair because she doesn't talk about the affair and she always mentions her affair and her diaries but you know how do we know that because no one else has seen the always mentions her fair and her diaries but you know how do we know that because no one else has seen those diaries except the official biographer us doors are closed to researches. except stars except the official biography us dars a close to researches. except by the family by the family by the government actually i think the family not by the family by the family by the government

actually i think the family are not behind it it's the government to post it with southampton university and when you are an expert on spying as well hide it it's the government to post it with southampton university and when you're an expert on spying as well because you're on this show but your previous books i was the only one i know coverups by the government to say because you're on this show but your previous books i was the only one i know coverups by the government it's the same thing but surely it's more i mean when you started out writing lives you didn't think the governing but surely it's more i mean when you started out writing lives you didn't think the government would be hiding secrets about that was the way they would understandably arguably will be hiding secrets about the way they would understandably arguably be hiding about russian spies in here that might. want to know about russian spies and here am i ever want to know and i didn't think that i would discover that i was writing about another promiscuous bisexual. i didn't

think that i would discover that i was writing about another promiscuous bisexual. so there are all surprises but it's a great thing about blogs for you start you just don't know where it's going to lead you under that you can do so there are all surprises but it's a great thing about blogs for you start you just don't know where it's going to lead you under that you can duchess of windsor at the moment i don't know who knows what one might fall. and or do sisters of windsor at the moment i don't know who knows what one might find or do you suspect is the reason the british government will not release the papers is it embarrassment or is it perspective is the reason the british government will not release the papers is it embarrassment or is it political i think there's there there clearly things that they say about the royal family which they pretty don't want to disclose i think there's there there clearly things that they say about the royal family which they pretty don't want out i think props the i mean we know that she had 16 plus affairs and he had many want out i think props the i mean we know that she had 16 plus affairs and he had many self the maybe other affairs as a matter of course not but i mean self the maybe other affairs as

a matter of course not but i mean i covered the fact there been a break in at buckingham palace in october $949.00 someone came and covered the fact there been a break in at buckingham palace in october 949 someone came and came to look for the king and you go to over the wall in 30 seconds climbed up an open ladder by an open came to look for the king and you go to over the wall and 30 seconds climbed up an open ladder by an open window and got in now they've tried to shut that story down because of they say that they used to some window and got in now they've tried to shut that story down because of they say that they used the same security arrangements now as they didn't 149 there is a culture of secrecy in this country i'm security arrangements now as they didn't 149 there is a culture of secrecy in this country and anything to do the royal family is covered up quite unnecessarily i mean the brody and anything to do the royal family is covered up quite unnecessarily i mean the royal archives are pretty much closed. you know they argue it's

a private archive whole archives are pretty much closed. you know they all use a private archive i would argue that it's part of their public life now one aspect i would argue that it's part of the public life now one aspect that you were able to get lots of information on is the 900. ready to d.m. so that you were able to get lots of information on as the 942 d.m. raid which was a disaster and mountbatten as a naval officer some people saying it was the raid which was a disaster and about him as a naval officer some people saying it was the precursor to d.-day how did not about and how did he even because it's a d.-day. how did not about and how did they even go one being a naval officer after a raid which killed what 97 percent of the canadian no one but naval officer after a raid which killed what 97 percent of the canadian troops that were he was very good at shifting the blame to all the people he had meant to win you know the

troops that were he was very good at shifting the blame to all the people he had a mentor like burgess did in churchill with his great mentor when he was moved on research but like burgess stayed in churchill with his great mentor and he was moved on reasonably quickly after that to southeast asia but he was a man he was a ruthless very quickly after that to southeast asia but he was a man he was a ruthless self promoter and he was a great you know a teflon man things didn't release a self promoter and he was a great you know a teflon man things didn't really stick now in the end he's not killed by an indian stick now in the end he's not killed by an indian. angry at him for partition he ends up being killed in. angry at him for a partition he ends up being killed in. what have you discovered about his assassination well the extraordinary thing and what have you discovered about his

assassination well the extraordinary thing is that he had a private bodyguard a little problem a military policeman is that he had a private bodyguard a little probably a military policeman who did a damage assessment to us who could see that shatter 5 was unprotected night and who did a damage assessment to us who could see that shutter 5 was unprotected knighton vulnerable and reported that nothing was done he noticed that there was vulnerable and reported that nothing was done he noticed that there was a belfast car belonging to an ira activist in the vicinity reported it to belfast car. belonging to an irate activist in the vicinity reports that nothing was done and if up to this chap graeme yule was sacked made just nothing was done and if up to this chap graeme you'll was sacked made just on a gagging order which only expired 2 years ago. and the protection of gagging order

which only expired 2 years ago. and the protections given to the garda who were not really qualified to do that job but also mum and it was given to the garda who were not really qualified to do that job but also must have been told repeatedly not to go to on that year they knew there was a plot to assassinate him over the road being told repeatedly not to go to on that year they knew there was a plot to assassinate him over the royal family probably him and it was pretty irresponsible not only to go but to bring his family family probably him and it was pretty irresponsible not only to go but to bring his family with him and make them . victims themselves while of course we don't believe that he with them and make them. victims themselves while of course we don't blame blaming them but i mean when you're talking about the changes in security protection they mean there but i mean when you're talking about the changes in security protection you're not saying that there would have been insiders well you're not saying that there would have

been insiders well there were certainly suspicions that there were insiders. sympathizers working suspicions that there were insiders. sympathizers working in his household. but there were certainly people watching him but the irony of course was it was a household. but there were certainly people watching him but the already of course was it was a bit back far to the sport from north america dried up the corporation across the border and it backfired to the sport from north america dried up the corporation across the border increased and the army is always been sympathetic to the i raise aims so they killed in effect the wrong man. well we have a get the papers i mean you separate. and the army is about that always been sympathetic to the i raise aims so they killed in effect the wrong man will we ever get the papers i mean you separate it very specifically the rumors about child

abuse and all the rest of it it very specifically the rumors about child abuse and all the rest of it will we ever get these papers do you looking at the things you look will we ever get these papers do you looking at the things you looked at believe any of this can cora boys when bill 1st abuse scandal like believe any of this can cora boys when bill 1st abuse scandal like i quote 2 boys who claim to be abused by mountbatten who came from can core and they say the quote 2 boys who claim to be abused by and who came from can core and they say they were to be persuasive and they knew things that they wouldn't have known they couldn't have made up they were to be persuasive and they knew things that they wouldn't have known they couldn't have made up but you know it's not just them there are lots and lots of which i did i couldn't put in the book for legal reasons and but you know it's not just them there are lots and lots of which i did i couldn't put in the book for legal reasons and the because i couldn't stand up it up properly suggesting his links with with it because i couldn't stand up it up properly

suggesting his links with with sexual abuse rings or not and this testimony from a driver from the 2nd world war the sexual abuse rings or not and this testimony from a driver from the 2nd world war as well as well who else will he see when he went to the new physics and things to gauge to him some things now because it seems to emerge even now since the book came out people are telling me things so i think there's a lot more to the story this book came out people are telling me things so i think there's a lot more to the story than meets the eye and the call beach thing has made people just miss all these these stories and the call beach thing has. maybe people just miss all these stories and i think we throw in the pot the baby out with the bathwater but i think the case of bisexuality has and i think we throw in the pot the baby out with the bathwater but i think the case of bisexuality is pretty much made the case with paedophilia i agree is more circumstantial pretty much made the
