and security council resolutions and in the past few days fighting has intensified between the so-called largest prison camp in the world gaza and illegally occupied israeli settlements israel's ambassador to london has not called back to going underground and successive representatives have never been available for interview on this program joining me now from ramallah is senior palestinian official and former chief negotiator and prime minister of palestine neville shaath now bill thanks for coming on the program so the idea of says they attacked underground rocket launchers elite launching stations underground terrorist infrastructure and military forces of the islamic jihad organization your reaction to the renewed violence in gaza and the occupied territories and israel this is a pure cold blooded murder this is an assassination i mean this is this is not this is not a warfare this is a deliberate assassination of of people in their homes.

with them their wives their brothers their children. this is the specialty of israelis so who do. and his wife where they are not terrorists as the israeli says and whether or not therefore justifiably killed by the israeli government there is no justification for a cold blooded murder of somebody in his home and his wife they did they if he if he were to be caught in israel the red handed he would have gotten a maximum of 20 years of prison not a and next assassination a murder with his wife were you surprised israel also shot missiles into damascus to kill. son jory as well yes there is that sense the nation continues i mean it that it goes to. gaza. and then from

gaza to damascus and vice versa and you really don't see the international community oust by this by this murder you don't see a quick cut in the nation and some sanctions imposed upon israel this killing really has taken some highlight because it hits leadership but daily this israelis are killing individuals are killing people and killing brothers sisters wives husbands. and continuing it there are keep the illegal occupation of our land and. building colonial settlements on our villages maybe you don't see that international condemnation because european governments and the united states believe that islamic jihad is a terrorist movement dedicated to destroying the state of israel the reality is that israel is

a terrorist government that is that they catered to destroying the palestinian homes rights people you wonder i mean really who is the murderer and who is the victim i mean they are the occupiers we are not occupying their country they're occupying ours will britain and the united states continues to arm israel of course the idea for twitter says that rockets that hit including the one that hit gaza's palestinian independent commission for human rights they were actually misfired rockets from palestinians in gaza nothing to do with israel at all. that that's possible the question is that israelis do not account for the murder of palestinians to anybody i mean at best you get a united nations resolution but you don't get any real sanctions you don't read you don't get action that stop america from providing lethal weapons that the israelis can use to kill our people live. you don't see really punishment for what they're

doing with our country and the colonial settlements they are building this is the problem of course that does not apply to russia that don't apply to china that one does not apply to india that does not apply to many countries but the united states particularly with mr trump and and its leadership has gone all the way to arm and to encourage mr netanyahu to continue his murder and his murderous campaign against palestinians but you say it is possible that it is indeed palestinians wrongly firing rockets that's why palestinians palestinian independent commission for human rights may have been hit because amnesty international has condemned the attack apparently by israel could it be palestinian misfiring i don't know i doubt it in fact at the time when the israelis are saying we have attempted to

murder to assassinate these 2 political leaders in. gaza strip and in damascus at a time like this it's very difficult to really say that it's possible that another rock rocket hits a target was was misfired rather than intended to be fired by the israelis media in nature nations is showing attacks on israel for instance insta rot rather than ghibli to have a steroid to because is it actually israeli illegally occupied land under security council resolution 446 an area that used to be called knowledge this is colonial acquisition by force by a country that is equipped with atomic weapons and quipped with. the highest technology. as weapons by the united states we're not really talking

here about. a national liberation movement we're talking about a colonial country that is occupying all our land nuclear whistleblower mordechai vanunu can no longer talk to the media and of course israel has never admitted to having nuclear weapons i should stay but your new prime minister dr mohammed. would his background i mean he's been tweeting in amidst the current violence for protection from the united nations i mean why does he think tweeting for protection from the united nations is a worthwhile activity at all well i'm in looking for international support based on the charter of the united nations and international law is not wrong i mean. at the end it's only one of the. vailable weapons we have to protect us from the israelis is not very effective but at least it's one way of

gathering international support for you against the israeli might. mr doctor is an economist and he's dedicating himself to rebuilding and construction and economic development of the palestinian territories as much as more economic independence from the israeli colonial economy across our borders was anyone looking at the palestinian media pictures of crying children and dead bodies would say is not effective at all what are you telling at advising president abbas when it comes to the latest violence the latest killing of civilians in gaza while i'm in here is a man dedicated to nonviolent struggle there are precedents like in south africa many others. places in which nonviolent action. was able to

turn around colonial powers and. it has led sometimes to international support. and i think that's what president abbas. really intends to do he he thinks that. responding with more violence will bring in a cycle of violence that will cause a lot of harm and we are no match for the arsenal of the military capability of israel well somebody would say the cycle of violence has been getting for years and your prime minister now saying he is conducting intensive regional and international context to deter this aggression can you not see why the arab world shrugs its shoulders when the president of. the city authority says things like well look we are living in

a in an era in which international balance of power is totally tilted towards the united states we are living in a mono polar world. compared to the world before 1901 it was a bipolar world that was the soviet union who stood up against colonialism and supported national liberation movements but today. we're probably at the end of a period in which the united states has the. highest capability of controlling and of using its power in the whole world and you have the arab governments and arab leaderships having really suffered from american occupation of iraq and syria from lots of problems involving the guy. i wish and other organizations that have been financed by the united states in

fact. i think this balance of power would will change eventually and the world will move towards a multi-polar world in which europe russia china and others can provide a balance to this overwhelming american power which has led to gross misuse of power in our part of the world well the united states and britain still continue to deny they aid. despite arguable evidence to the contrary just finally while the killing of your people continues you please that the european union says. court of justice verdict they may labeling fruit correctly and begin identifying products made in israel israel's illegal settlements of your land that's correct we think that's a step in the right direction we would have very much like to see

a total buy pot of products produced on occupied. territory. in colonial settlements but at least the european union at one time took the position that it would at least differentiate between products produced in occupied territory and products produced in israel proper and this labeling thing was instituted but it was not implemented and very few european countries did implemented and now we have a supreme court ruling that it's illegal to sell products that are not labeled i think it's a step in the right direction. thank you after the break we ask a former u.k. home of his minister and privy council to the queen woman baker about the british monarchy is royal robbery of the public purse as netflix's arguably sanitize the crown it's video streaming devices are. the world over the symbol coming up above 2

of going up the road. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. this idea as you point out the anecdotally cheney fired all the cia agents in the field because they were too sympathetic to the locals and he felt that was a liability in the major media spheres of washington d.c. they don't want those reporters those stars do rub elbows in the great unwashed of the flyover states because they may become sympathetic to the working class they may become sympathetic to the to the disenfranchised of america.

who use downs' to leak leak out to. when you. look at the distance was most of the book. but. still it's. there's the.

welcome back within 24 hours of the crown season 3 is during a live it coleman and helena bonham carter hitting video streaming devices around the world but how true or sanitized is the netflix series on the need the glitz and glam of the crown is a myriad arguable royal robberies from a nazi sympathising juke and tax avoiding princes to relationships with age sex traffickers they are stories the british queen has tried to conceal from the public which pays away but joining me now is former u.k. arm of his minister and privy council to the queen the woman baker exposes the british want to pay for what it is in his new book and what do you do what the royal family don't want you to know norman welcome back to going underground so and what do you do it's not a job you do what that's of the queen would say yes companion volume to the new

netflix crown season 3 that is doing such good business can you really understand any of these things without reading the book. i think reading the book will offer to give you a greater insight and it's a sensible piece of work to some but you will work. in contrast to the way that the media often deals with the royals which is a kind of rather pathetic way of wondering what traits wearing today or what toy prince george's playing with you this is part of our constitution but entitled to have a serious analysis of what it does why does what it does so much it costs us i mean people are talking about the general election campaign whoever wins the general election m.p.'s will have to give an oath in parliament 2 of the monarchy explain the curious meaning of serving the monarch and the importance of that oath well we are all subjects in this country allegedly not citizens and to we owe.

allegiance to the queen in person and successors whoever they are included people like prince andrew apparently this is not sensible for a mature democracy when an m.p. like yourself future minister takes an oath i understand the way you did the oath was slightly different hand the official recording of parliament will a raise the truth over the yes i mean many people are let elected to parliament hill republican by nature and they adopted from tactics i think actually binds a former labor m.p. used to cross his fingers when he was given the oath. others will gobble through it's. others for example in my case i gave my own oath which i believed in which was to uphold democracy and serve my country to its best of my ability and when the hand sought appeared the next day my own always had was not there but gobbled it was if even the official recording of proceedings erases the truth of what happens when it comes to the moment he had difficult was a direct a book about the monarchy as regards papers that are kept secret by the government

and so on well i mean obviously i did write a book and i'm still here to tell the tale but they didn't make it very easy for me and my privy council luthor been privy council so as i can access the queen and prince charles if i wish to do so will i try to act as prince charles was fobbed off i did get into the royal archives which was some major challenge in windsor castle where they allow i think it's 6 researchers at most any one time and there's no access automatically there it's a matter of privilege what i went to no there's no there's no there's no list of files no index to what you can see so it's a question of sticking a pin into the piece of paper and see what comes out and nothing about the present moment the present moment and her right is accessible at all so that effectively the throw to 92 there is a 67 yr ban all material being released from there all kinds there's an absolute ban all material for. other the queen prince charles or prince william being

released evolution to public interest there's no public interest test even for those free individuals now we can get a public interest test applied to address the royal family but it's still quite hard to get the thing out and you know the answer to your family always when there's a problem which is arises is not to deal with the problem is to paint over the rotten wood cover it all up that's what they've been doing for 100 years well i want to get on to the members of the royal family today in a 2nd bit why it is important in this book you draw some pretty terrifying not the counterfactuals if. if the royal family hadn't gone the way way it has how their support for hitler against him could've changed the history of this country well absolutely well look i mean the fact is that before the war the aristocracy in this country including of course the royal family and most of the conservative party that was in government wanted to do

a deal with hitler because they saw communism as a bigger threat than us years and they didn't like hitler to be fair well i think nobody is like hitler at most and didn't but they were bred to tolerate hitler and the deal they wanted to do was that. hitler left the british nation and the british empire alone i went eastwards in terms of his labor that was a deal they wanted to do and after the 2nd world war the royal family lead on the government here at the at the government labor government who put a shooter much political pressure on the americans not to release information but whatever gates had been doing with the nazi regime we spent we used up a whole lot of political power and influence trying to prevent matters to do with the royal family being released after the war that was not the priority in my view for this government to 945 the priority was to rebuild the country rather protect whatever the 8th had been doing. and when it comes to hiding history perhaps

predictable because rupert murdoch is known as a republican that the it was the sun that exposed the picture of the young queen and the queen mother giving nazi salutes you say probably at the behest of anybody it was there and the queen was about 7 or 8 so it was early thirty's so it was before the whole of the full horrors of naziism were apparent i don't blame the queen for that she was a young girl she was 7 and she was with influential adults on collision between mother was an adult was the queen mother was are living in a sicilian so the queen is entirely innocent of that is not her fault in fact i feel rather angry on the queen's behalf. but the queen mother jolly well knew didn't she she was not old she knew what was going on and she gave a nazi salute now how would have appeared in the war we were told about the queen mother and the war histories be brushed she would take the stand and she showed her face and everything else how would east end the reacted had it in the photograph of

the queen mother to be enough to salute b.b.c. i.t.v. the mainstream channels here loathe to talk about the nazi connections netflix's the crown they do mention it a little tony benn gave his last television interview for this program and in these us interview he was going on about this royal prerogative why do things that when i turn events or that is so important when it comes to secrecy and britain going to war with the country well the really there are 2 issues here that the 1st one is is one where the queen's name is taken in vain if you like the role prerogative which implies that the queen or someone in the family has stopped things it isn't is a prime minister of the day who says this is the role purpose of the royal prerogative is a prime minister's prerogative and the queen is no alternative but to accede to these requests from her ministers we saw that with the purgation quite recently when the queen whenever she was about it personally was obliged to advice of ministers and. politics of i was

a little off of the coast unlawfully she had no alternative but to do that however the other issue i raised my book is something which people have not heard of by a large coal queens consent and in the prince of wales consent now that action 2 ways one a proper member's bill is brought to parliament. has to be queen's consent for any bill actually before proceeds now of course the government bills is never an issue because the government a says the queen let this proceed but queen's consents been used sometimes by politicians to stop a bill for what it's all about iraq in 1009 that was stopped from going forward by queen's consent because of the ministers said to the queen don't give consent that's completely undemocratic but the other issue for the royal family personally and it's a queen should send could be refused when it affects them personally and what happens is of the between the palace and ministers and there has of course happens and legislation is changed to do with the personal circumstances of the monic and

have family that's quite outrageous what is the scale of housing benefit that the queen in the royal family get because you talk about the stored some of the money the taxpayer pays look it's not just what they pay it's also what the queen and i found we've accumulated over many years nobody of the queen prince philip her family her sons and daughters sons and daughters is worth less than $20000000.00 the queen under the direction of winston churchill the prime minister's sign decided that the queen as a new one i would not pay tax on investment income. that's a gigantic handout is probably cost attached is a tax rate from the mail on sunday i think. it probably cost much better close to a 1000000000 pounds in lost types think i'm just not one change leave it in the mail on sunday lot of the media because in this book one of the road. of the me is

their alliance for with hitler today people have been talking about why newspaper like that is more interested in meghan markle the american actress married to prince harry than say prince andrew the queen's. i mean. the mail the telegraph before the war or all cheerleaders for hitler. and it's embarrassing for them to admit that the fact that prince george likes giraffes or something i mean who cares and what is their business is not our business to know that what is our business is the fact that buckingham palace is being rebuilt effectively 3 to 7000000 pounds of public money when a batter of 3 or 4 years ago we were told you to 50000000 that's our business but you won't find the papers very much or we need all programs it will go up prince andrew and geoffrey epps female actually of the new reports leg ations of.

assassination in a u.s. prison and so forth but you can understand why prince charles wouldn't want the fact that he sought the advice on his marriage to diana from jimmy savile even the stanway things like that would want to be kept secret. because they would be seen in a bad bad light when in fact they were presumably the it's a completely innocent well i don't think prince charles was no way to know what responsible for jimmy savile to it and there's entirely in the in that sort of ghastly behavior that jimmy savile in indulged in but the fact is he should have bad judgment this is our future king he should bad judgment in relying on jimmy savile for marriage advice and being very close to him and being a star if it drove him even when it was known to other people that jimmy savile was a bad lot well obviously there are also allegations about how the queen hides her wealth in tax havens yes but why. it comes through the removal of the monarchy in

this country rather than the barricades or anything you just finally you talk about the national anthem and a slight change that is good in recent years about the national anthem itself in british life is that is that what may be the bonjour at least that there's a sign that the monarchy is on the wane in the other that i think what is happening is that people no longer have the auto body deference which of all family wants to have the national anthem is no. no other countries father can tell how. that relates to the modoc in person might have got many of the but if you go to sweden or you go to belgium when you go to poland the national anthem is not about the person and a number. should be there to unify the country that's what the national anthem should do you should make every single person not country proud of their country but it's sure a lot of national anthem you have to be someone who believes in god and someone who

wants to monitor you know you know many people do want those 2 things but nobody does why should you have to subscribe to do to beliefs in order to enjoy and support a national anthem that's in your favorite shows of the season we will be with a brand new cd on the ground on the 8th of july is a short social media interview this is going on the grounds you have a good. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decisions. are bringing home to. the. whole be instructive you know what they kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me in the me me come in my arm in the right mean. if you take into

account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing. never seen trauma like. women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender and almost 10 year career which i was very invested in. and i gave up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe.
