it's mourning the death of silly monies see that there are people on the streets shouting death to israel do you think then that as you say the u.s. embassy has now issued warnings for americans traveling in israel. what did you make of the fact that mainly it's really money far from planning attacks according to the iraqi prime minister was actually carrying details of irreproachable between saudi arabia and iran when he was killed is this about trying to stir up any alliance between saudi arabia which has been getting closer to your country and iran what i think is just a matter of conspiracy i don't believe that this was the case especially not after the open account between tehran and in riyadh in saudi arabia. i don't think it would have been against american interest if indeed there was going to be reparations between saudi arabia and there and iran saloon money was actually masterminding more attacks he's made mission right now was to drive the
9:31 pm
americans out of iraq so the u.s. have issued a warning that no matter who attacks the united states the iranian will not be able to hide behind their proxies so what it means actually is that the conflict now he's surfacing on the table and no more deep down underground operations that the united states will tolerate it wasn't too long ago that even corporate media was celebrating in the west general saloon money for his defeat of isis. which some of linked to israel after the famous pictures of netanyahu in the golan heights frankly isn't the point that if iran had a nuclear weapon this is as a nation wouldn't have taken place and the fact that that's the reason as a deterrent that israel has nuclear weapons which apparently netanyahu has finally admitted in the past few days we have to set the record straight the fate.
9:32 pm
netanyahu was in the golan heights he was visiting a humanitarian project. is really actually built a special field hospital for syrian people who are wounded who were harmed by assad's forces and forces were held by iranian militias or or other military. shiite militias the ices that dies she's a sworn enemy of israel so i don't think this was the case actually i believe that. a few years back the united states was cooperating with salumi against isis against. but since of the money turned on the americans then they had no choice but to defend themselves as to the point of the nuclear policy of israel we have said it and you know actually read are rated as well will not be
9:33 pm
the 1st to introduce a nuclear weapon in the in the middle east but there is a big difference between israel and iran israel unlike you ron has never threatened to wipe out another country israel unlike iran is not using proxies all over the region to subvert the the regimes or for the countries actually trying to be the edge of one of the area is really unlike iran is not is not a signatory on the entity on the non-proliferation. treaty so i don't think that there should be any comparison between these 2 cases like you cannot compare apples to oranges of course what i really might say something else but as you say iran is a signatory the m.p.t. but i've got to ask you given me a putin is arrived for talks with president assad in syria do you think that moscow and beijing may be looking on this and thinking you know like you just. israel is
9:34 pm
on the same side as iran against isis why can't these countries all come back together we of course would not be at all adverse to to changing the situation dramatically infects and i'm not speaking for the americans but it was president. trump who repeatedly said that he's willing to speak with the iranians or without preconditions anytime anywhere but a refusal came out of tehran now as for president putin of course he is very much respected here in israel you know that. we have more than. one and a half almost 1000000 israelis who came out of russian the send a by the way he's also scheduled to be here i believe in about a week or so and. he's always a welcome here and of course we would very much like to see you fair russia can use their influence in damascus in tehran maybe something can come out of it ambassador
9:35 pm
thank you well joining me now from the iraqi capital baghdad where custom sulaimani was assassinated is a member of baghdad council security committee. thanks so much coming back on actually just. begin by saying that major nation state backed media here is saying that the vote in the iraqi parliament to throw out british and american soldiers is only advisory does it actually mean anything it does because the prime minister his intention was to os all foreign troops outside iraq and he needed the political backing from the parliament as we know but iraqi parliament is divided up on itself and he wanted a political. following of political backing so he could go and face the american and the foreign troops. behind him
9:36 pm
a political force so it actually does mean that the troops have to leave or what is the next stage of this since the vote yes i see in 2014 a letter was sent from the foreign office iraqi foreign office to the security council of the united nation asking for international assistance now the job is finished ice is finished so doubt the foreign office will send another letter to the security council asking to revoke that old letter and thank you very much and we don't need your forces anymore we have got rid of isis so you can all go home and of course this is all a money with the man credited with getting rid of ice is ok but then what did you make of the fact that. muddy said that the british foreign minister rang him and reportedly said please can we let british soldiers stay on training that was just before you installed and were good nature said all training is about to stop
9:37 pm
why do you think britain was calling up to try and keep british soldiers there and what do you think your prime minister thought of well it's not only him the dutch foreign minister the german foreign minister number other foreign ministers called and asked to keep some of their forces either within the training programs by the way the market parliament did speak of a training program did speak that we do need training programs but we need to know who is training where and training for what in the name of trainers they came and they brought they draw as a starting assassinating people and as you may know that the americans assassinated the other day top ranking iraqi. personnel general who are says directly to the part minister who is the deputy head of the public mobilization forces which is the force that. actually defeated ice's they
9:38 pm
assassinated this iraqi general just because he was with sulaimani now the problem with that is the americans never apologize they're going to say that we didn't know that he was there they didn't explain themselves they just shot him killed the man and turned him to pieces and they're talking about sunday money we're not really concerned about survey money we can send of our general the parliament is and raise because of a moment in mind this not because of silly money the cerise in baghdad. filled with people because of. this not because of still a money yeah general mondas doesn't have much problem in this country it's mainly saudi money of course the boris johnson defacto supporter the assassination strike ordered by donald trump do you think that makes britain a target for those who want to seek revenge for the assassinations no i don't believe britain would be involved in this i don't believe that britain would be
9:39 pm
a target i don't think britain or france or and the other forces should have any and he worries on the issue of course told trump initially said there was an imminent attack on u.s. troops which justified the assassination strike it's now emerged that silly money was in baghdad with plans for some kind of approach more between saudi arabia and iran why would baghdad be the place where this kind of communication might have happened and of course the prospects for peace right across the region baghdad is accused of having a very close relationship to iran so somebody wanted to make use of this accusation and the saudis also had the good i mean we developed in the last few years a better relationship with the saudis and the tension between those 2 countries basically are affecting the policies that were security policy in iraq so he was passing this important messages between 2 sides and he came he was he had actually
9:40 pm
an appointment with the prime minister at $830.00 be on they've that he was assassinated to bring the radio reply or mr harmony's eminence mr common a reply to the saudi proposal thank you thank you after the break with trump threatening iran's culture who owns history from the ogun marbles to the british crown a new book examines the case for the return of blunder from u.k. colonial bloodshed and oppression we speak to its author legendary human rights barrister geoffrey robertson you. see all the civil coming up is not true of going underground. time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important celery transitions to sustainable price board sustainability stay
9:41 pm
number man not the more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless. and it. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something i'll just as he want any minute i mean look at things the sun will be doing to me man and i'm stunned seemed i mean understood this is going. to be. a good go look up what. might be such it's like. oh i did not start.
9:42 pm
playing. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. that you'd like to be prosperous like them before 3 in the morning can't be good but. i'm interested always in the air. i was in the house. this sidney. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.
9:43 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arm off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world big partisan group lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so they started inflation deflation
9:44 pm
they tend to hand the connection between the finance economy and the real economy and sometimes the finance economy gets out of hand and you have crashes and sometimes the real economy gets out of hand then you have stagflation because wages are too high but sense 2000 and getting even more pronounced since 2008 we have 2 separate economies there are bifurcated there's the privately owned central banks who print money for private the top 110th of one percent of private citizens and then we have the surf class or the neo feudal class and these 2 don't interact any. good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what
9:45 pm
they want to sell us then what's necessarily good for the pet turns out to put food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis and they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their purchase streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. welcome back more now in the fall of a u.s. assassination of got some silly money one of the things that even president trump's hoops supporters of distance themselves from this week it is apparent threat to
9:46 pm
this. a cultural heritage sites in iran so what should be the consequences for such a flagrant disregard for international law when it comes to culture joining me now for more on this and other cultural injustices is the leading human rights lawyer geoffrey robertson q.c. whose new book who owns history elegans looting the case for turning plan the treasure is out now jeffrey thanks for coming on i'm going to get to the book particularly in a in a moment but your reaction to president trump saying that the culture of iran should be targeting the world sadly this is a man who thinks like a barbarian because it is to protect against barbarian activities over centuries most recently of course isis we have developed over centuries this rule that you do not attack cultural heritage and here is the commander of the free world if you like. announcing that he's going to target cultural property world heritage areas.
9:47 pm
to spite iran he calls it a rainy and culture but it's not it's the culture of the world it's cultural property the pretty long was 2 years old because it's part of our artistic a doc a take true evolution and so you know this is a barbarians idea of a sort of reprisal of the playground it's not it it has nothing to do with international law or it's fit for a world in which law is absent well those of the usa doesn't care about what happens in the hague it's not a member of that court and off the target but american commanders do and it's fascinating to see the initial reaction america's next commander has a brit in their military screw what is called
9:48 pm
a libra and it makes clear that it's a war crime to attack churches to attack cultural institutions secretary slater my compare defended trumps comments about some of the target of hayward's did because he thinks like about berrian but the way said it would be within the law when i leave out that and everyone knows he's wrong the generals i think will for the most part disobey trump's command to bomb a world heritage area because they're remember nuremberg so they will not a bay those orders it will be perhaps the end of trump if orders given well if persepolis in the south of iran is here as is one great monuments human civilisation another is the pathan and contemporaneous as i was yeah just a little later on the parthenon as the greatest existing one of the. able to tell
9:49 pm
me about her history of the problem is that half of it is where it belongs in the shadow of the acropolis in the new acropolis museum in modern greece and the other half is in a dingy gallery named after a fraud stuck named low divvying who was a crook. who donated a lot of money to the british museum so they stored odin's newt taken by the british ambassador in 81 winched off the walls of the temple he stole half the models of the parthenon to sell for his own profit to the british museum the board of the british museum and say the dream gallery and the british museum in london is
9:50 pm
a beautiful gallery only reject the board of the bridge museum would say anything. there are a lot of a moral and. arrogant multi-millionaires who don't represent actually the uses and the friends of the british museum but that has been their attitude that has been the british government's attitude not jeremy corbin who offered to certain a degree spend he's now almost history and the british museum and british government are opposed to the reuniting this greatest wonder of the ancient world save the world can see it in 8 original shape always in the museum says it's protecting it but you know it only expose allegation of the white washing of the whole story around the ogun mobile but you say that the mobiles themselves were whitewashed literally just tell me about that was
9:51 pm
a scandal at the british. museum did its best to hush up but this crook to v. after who may allah with the presence of the marbles he rather liked the idea that the watch the marbles originally bra were known colored should be whiter than white so he's got workman to scowl them and did great damage to them sanded it down the best really element of a game said it was a disgrace and the british museum trustees of the time this was in the late 1930 s. hushed it up and even as late as 9090 they told chris smith who was leading an inquiry of the parliamentary arts murray arts minister that they had been kept impeccably over it was a lie and you'd add new detail and point by point in the book but i'm afraid you know the main argument that anyone out there uses they don't use the arguments of
9:52 pm
the board of the british museum saying we are an encyclopedia. museum we should have a they say if you return these sorts of things to these countries they will be destroyed because the new premier in greece was just with netanyahu funnily enough i was visiting him to rush back after the assassination in baghdad airport what happened if there was a red to retaliate against greece because it's getting closer to israel and we might use well we are retaliate against london for its support unthinking support of american policy what passes for american policy in the middle east but what about returning aboriginal art well exactly talking with we see what's happening in australia right now it would have been perhaps you go out there you know that we see a merry go round most british museums there and in the full book of telling the truth about colonialism captain cook or did but captain cook never
9:53 pm
fires app. indigenous people only fires warning shots even when he fox has at their stomachs so what it says is that ok up to and cook fired warning shots and they drop to glenn you have to go show that made it all be over the name could disable a british museum. we returned it could it be in danger of a climate change of we send things back there it would be the most precious. most precious cultural treasure for the indigenous people who spread it that's why they want it back and they're supported by their parliaments but of course it's not coming back because the british museum is so arrogant and a moral that it doesn't return anything it's not prepared no matter how brutally the british army and it did act brutally in the 19th century it would kill the men
9:54 pm
the women the children on so-called punishment raids then it would steal everything it could lay its hands on they called it they did it officially and the wonders the treasures of any in the treasures of mecca the treasures of these places and indeed the treasures of china. the 8th the golden lead the attack in the opium wars the worst crimes against humanity in the 1900. addicting the chinese to opium to improve britain's trade balance he attacked the sum a palace which was the path and all of the of asia china is trying to buy their backs i tried or is now trying to even steal them back it's thought to get each treasures back call the museums of blood and other museums of propaganda is that
9:55 pm
really where the british museum unsticking. we heart of the problem is the inability of british museums to face and to describe accurately these colonial outrages the van de at an exhibit a few months ago about the might dollar raid in 867 which was one of the worst colonial atrocities and i actually made a note of what the labels said in this rather pathetic little exhibition it said it's time we realised that this was a controversial period in british ethiopian relationships actually detail legal frameworks and the updating of the universe and so on just tell me a little bit about it the concrete steps that are outlined after you describe the artifacts in the context of where there are there is a convention that ensures or tries to ensure the property that is stolen after
9:56 pm
970 or after the countries. signed up to the convention should be returned before the end items that were taken in colonial wars stolen with the one exception of not the loot the property stolen from jews by nazis there are laws enforcing return and restitution when you talk about article 10 an article 11 should there be an article of an maybe in the geoffrey robertson charter because donald trump is threatening the cultures of sovereign nations of what happens to lenders of artifacts who threaten. existing militia go to jail and they have those who bomb dubrovnik went to jail should up be limited to american museums as long as the president of the united states relates to serious matter i think whether or not it should be
9:57 pm
restored to a particular country from whom it's been stolen. depending on whether that country shares the same kind of artistic freedom and respect for its cultural heritage as it does for its own people and countries like china whose record on the we goes for example and on human rights advocates jailing them for many you want to contest for the we are good they should and yes but nonetheless i think it raises the question of whether they should go back and of course let us not forget on russia today there is a little problem you mention the bush. structure which holds premiums treasure which was taken by stalin's trophy brigade from i think of zoo where it had been hidden prey treasure which probably wasn't priya notes but did
9:58 pm
come from troy and you say that vladimir putin could triangulate between competing claims of germany and it was interesting that gorbachev provisionally agreed to return it to germany but putin overrode him and will not hear of its return from the pushkin museum i think there is now a very good museum at troy where it originated which happens to be in turkey and there for oats and q.c. thank you. as of the show will buckle saturday night out of us rick for the assassination of the 32 year old director of the town's uranium enrichment plant suspected of being a joint obama really because of the cold streak bill that you talk about social media where you juggle skills on.
