most of what parliament on santa, i never understand what the tories, why the tories complaining about the b, b. c. because if it works, the bbc, all it does is record parliament seldom reporting the wider issues. so what we've had in this country is a great deal of thought and ah, anti johnson staff, he deserves every bit of it, of course. but it's focused almost entirely on him. and on understandably, on the, the scandals of parties and downing street went down his face was, was telling the country to, to lock down. but it always can, ah, only a facade for serious wall making. and that's what's happening in ha, certainly in the ukraine at the moment. and it's is probably one of the most

distorted stories i can ever remember. i mean, 1st of all, if you look at the russian was, who were said to be the aggressors and about a 1000000 bait. russian troops are actually in russia. ah, u. s. miss isles, surround, ah, russia and british troops on the borders of russia, nato troops, or on the borders of russia. nato troops surround russia from slovenia all away down. so the, the aggression that potential aggression appears to be almost certainly on one side . but it's, it's never a court at that way. ah, and that's why propaganda is so important to my luck. we've had nothing but propaganda or russia about to invade it. go straight back to the old cold war when

the russians for coming. and of course, they weren't coming, as we now know from all of our classified material, the russians had no serious intention of invading western europe. and yet that was the propaganda all the way through it to make any sense from by a point of view. this doesn't make any sense from their point of view now. well they be me see, which you're right as sort of it being attacked this week about the funding it way by the government to through. it's curious, a mechanism that, that doesn't seem to have happened actually, arguably we me see say it is committed to achieving do a bunch ality and all of that. but the commitment is fundamental to our reputation of values. and the trust of audience is you don't think b b c journalist would similarly allow china say, if it had bases in mexico and russian base is in canada for them to say, look, the united states has to change where its troops are within the united states. no, the status or to record for sure. just read out loud as it always

was a good laugh among those who actually take the trouble to construct and unfortunately most people haven't got time to do that. and so the bbc has an entirely false reputation of objectivity. there's no object. typically bbc represents r, r produce imperial foreign policy. it doesn't ride through. it's during a moment with the so called a russian regression in ukraine on domestic policies. they were to learn my, my bill. i'm 2012 and last year, which effectively. ok, so, so for the privatization of the national health firms, the baby,

he barely records. and these bills have a critical effect on almost every one on this country. ok. and what when a turing factor's time, when one of our advisors advised her to privatize the great public institutions like me and a chest by stealth, that is what was happening now. none of that, none of that is, is given to the baby stays millions of years are, as it really is, are the, the headlines represent her own superficial changes and the house service. and the same, the same is true when the media were so i austerity news media, austerity. what does that really mean? it means the impoverished bunch of millions of people. and that's what has happened

in this country. i mean, it's interesting that there has been effectively and i, so i use this expression and opposite put it as an accurate description. there has been a class war in this country against the people that the majority of people are who cannot keep up with the or the kind of group policies, neo liberal policies, but had been imposed on them ruthlessly. none of their, we have no real perspective of the political meaning asperity. even the, the human meaning i stared t in terms of the numbers of people who are being on whose lives are being abandoned. every time that the transfer of the chicago stands in front of the chair, the dispatch box on these,

these are serious failures on behalf of the media, though. no, the more cynical would say, i think probably correctly, they're not failures because there is the media role for present. i power from the top down never from the ground up. well, if philosophically that is just meritocracy is considered by those journalists and policy makers in those in power, i will return to foreign policy in a 2nd. but there were, these are almost hidden announcements about further privatization beyond your film . on the n h. s, which people can watch. i mean, you believe that the lady counting of a covert positive old people in dk homes, 28000 dead. maybe it was that they were killed. and that the, i mean, we're now here with numbers approaching, i mean it's debated how many people were killed by cove it in this country. but it

seems to be more than those killed by the policies of bailing out the city of london after the financial crash. 20 wait for interesting. good. you know, to still were shakima by professor dana dollar. oxford. can i talk about the 10s of thousands of people who have died as a result of asperity policy and the, the people at amnesty an organization really not given very much to i think her seriously undermining our status or government or power. i was in, i think, 2020 but the 3rd and last year came out with a study which shows that something like 28100 go

mainly elderly people. sick people have been expelled effectively from the national health service into care homes where they die now. ah, it wasn't i who wrote up the turn state murder. it was another study that came up with and you know, we, the, the number of law that have been lost because of the, the cow us. it's wrong to say carelessness because it is being callous, either logical and driven. and that is a reaffirm bi johnson's announcement this week. but on january the 26 is so called plan b would end and the all restrictions will be yours. and those who don't wear masks will not be, were legally required to do so on. and you have virtually traveling

petri dish of, of covert i'm, unless we're, we're all going to for when to i'm the fanatical area when people say the covert is no different from the flu. but that's in fact what the prime minister of this country is saying. he says he's saying we can now regard it as an academic life. there are flu academics, but i've got a very close friend at the moment who is in hospital. so he's a man at his seventy's are and i'm worried about it because his condition has been has been to terry aging for some time is fully vaccinated. he has a booster and i guess he just unlucky, but he's picked up the don't over. so, how often is this going to happen?

you know, tell his band way that he has the flu. but that's what johnson is telling a country. it's an extraordinary, it's like, it's like a year genesis speaking, not a prime minister. the always lie a short we sacrifice, even those young burn center. and many of those actually died from our, from this thing on. but those who fall will will fall ill with those, even if they, if they recover from, ah, it's, it's uncertain whether it will be sherie. allison will go on to being something else. but where to accept all that we have to accept, but no longer is our supermarkets bound to ask people to wear a mask. i should say the london government claims that actually they will have jurisdiction over some of the transport, obviously, bars johnson's government or would categorically deny as state murder as

a reason you? i mean, and if anyone thinks you are a big girl, hawk, for those are wanting lock downs, that hasn't been true, john, i'll stop you there more from the legendary journal, if you'll make a john pilcher after this break. ah, for yes oh, well, i will at least the typical there is only 9, but already 8 university students that away on slash a point. let's see. yep. you got the doors to deal with a

brochure and of course with them when you're special. but i was the yeah. my i was thinking what the plan was to get up to him was in your mind shipping something with his teacher was reason this one is a good a

ah welcome back. i'm still here with the filmmaker and legendary journalist john pilcher. do you think this change your policy about suddenly freeing up the old of britain and just a allowing things to take their course is, is a political decision based on his own desire for political power rather than on medical evidence, which i have to say hasn't properly been produced, arguably this man who appears to treat the the political body politic. and burton the like the, the common room or even college. ah,

everything is kind of a bleak laugh. ah. and so we're seeing, we now have concrete over the parties have been going on in downings free right. through the worst of the, the covert pandemic in this country. while people were, ah, or bearing loved ones couldn't go to their funerals. people couldn't get married, or elderly people were, ah, ah, we're on their own, couldn't be visited in care house. meanwhile, has been party time in, in johnson's domain and down that street. ah, we, that's a truce now for prime minister allows that to happen. and what else will he allow to happen when he, he is now are throwing away, abandoning the most basic restrictions. i mean, i don't agree with loc downs,

but basically restrictions such as wearing masks, social distance thing. being careful of albert's common sense, but often common sense has to be legally enforced or law legally required. he's throwing all that away. it's so irresponsible, irresponsible as appointments words worse than black. well, his opposite numbers against armor also pictured it should be said, although he similarly said that it wasn't a breach of the rules as opposite number case against armor. now, leading in the polls, of course, says he would have preferred to be talking about russia than johnson's or alleged parties. what do you see as her, as this are prevalent view now that war is inevitable, as it were, even while the rest of the world sees this is not really about the protection of

ordinary ukrainians. and why not? sanctions against saudi arabia, v when rights abuses, for instance, is being presented to the human rights issue that we need to protect ukraine from russia. what to just search the whole risk of war and war with the 2nd biggest nuclear harm power on earth. on the whole possibility of that, i don't know whether it's unable to pull or not certainly sorry to look like that. but the possibility, the fact that there is not an issue or an issue before the country with all the the ramifications with o b, r ah, the component soccer spelled out to people so that they understand exactly what's happening. so that they understand that a section that has led to this and all was all certainly all major

wards have started following to sections. we don't have to go back far. ah, the invasion of iraq was based on a major to section ally. and if there is any kind of war with russia over you cray, or really over its rioted standards borders, the very same borders for which hitler stormed, ah, in the 1940s, whether it has that right or not. there's no, there's no discourse, there's no dialogue about there is between us or boat wider on the media. there isn't. it's a terribly dangerous time. and this danger parsons, the danger which is almost like a movable face for when go to china. her because everybody really studies

the so called foreign policies of the united states and its allies, pro vassals, such as the united kingdom, will know that an enemy is essential. whether or not they're an enemy is beside the point. they're not as though they're no real enemy, so u. k. and the world. and there's no real enemies of the united states, but an enemy is needed. so we'll move from russia to china week. we really have to understand, but we have to understand the, the profound sentences, the works in g o college chicks. it's not a sort of academic good. is something that takes all our lives and we have the right to comprehend. and you know, ordinary people whose lives it's filled with all sorts of things, also have the right to understand it. beyond headlines this give only one side,

one fear, and the lead still know that it, it works. that imperial idea but relies on propaganda the threat from the other. they have to minimize, i don't know the as of battalion now integrated in the ukrainian army with its views about hitler and against jews. and of course, the, the idea that china brought a 200000000 people out of poverty. these ideas, they're not allowed to be put on media in nato nations as, as a matter of course, me who knows, among those who boat. and as i read in some polio the day, one of the most popular because of the world today is barack obama. there was barack obama, who affected larry, ah, overthrew the elected government in ukraine in 2014,

and allowed it to be replaced with her, an anti russian aggressive regime that came as a result of her own a bomb as people is vice president biden. ah, one of a senior, our secretaries victoria and you on the all part of actually a conspiracy which i think it was new answer the price tag or was $5000000000.00. we got the right. we got the government ukraine church that has brought later you worst you can ride up to the border of russia. imagine the reverse. imagine the russians are rather a russian presence right up to the canadian border with the united states or the

mexican border is that is that it's the refusal to understand, to reverse it, to put our souls in the position of a country that last i don't think it was 20 or 1000000 people in the 2nd world war, the history, whoever's in charge, and in russia, that's been my experience of being in russia and in the soviet union. but history is like a preference. it, it inflows home influences almost everything. history has no presence in the united states. ah, it's a kind of a permanent allusion. it does in this country which makes the cynicism even more, rather desperate in the united kingdom. that should go along with these dangerous, as well as renewed interest apparently in russian or chinese,

a placement of facilities in cuba in nicaragua, in other places. i should say that obviously when it comes to history of the nato think tanks, the one here rooting says there was no deal on guaranteeing a ukraine not being bought of nato, the national security archive. people could look it up. apparently there were agreements but not official treaties, and we will go watch that victoria newland lead vogel on line. i've got to get through the person that illuminated so much of this for so much or of the world. julian hasanti of wiki leaks who according to the u. n has been tortured here in london and who is detained just very briefly because i know it's law affair, according to his defenders is union isn't going to be freed or is he going to be effectively killed in the united states? i cannot directly and it gives me the shivers even to make the choice. frankly, it doesn't look hurtful us. but man and obviously we're just before we began this

interview, i checked with julians lawyers, whether they heard hi a court. the high court was going to effectively allow an appeal after the supreme court or whether it will go back to the lower court. so what we're looking at, i think over the next year or so is a more hearings in this country. ah, it will almost certainly go back to the lower court. and julian's defense tell him, well, i ill on all the issues that the district judge diane ah, didn't accept. and that will go all the way up to the high court again. it's, it's like a slew long torture. it's quite a to pray, or if to pray the whole persecution while the whole prosecutors are julian. so,

under a 19 sherman jane espionage act in the united states, when it's clear to everybody who understands her thing about the case. so the whole thing has been do, did minutes about shutting out journalist who do they draw with, with implications, therefore for the editors of the guardian lamb on the new york times. and all those that collaborated with liquid helix. obviously, joe biden, cosmo high tech tech terrorists, irregular pentagon released their own video of civilians being killed by a u. s. joint strike in afghanistan as they left a bit like the collateral murder one. i know, does the pentagon are releasing things a bit like wiki leaks, but of course, as part of the campaign to defend him, direct action is being talked about in defense of him, given the policy nature of the all legal process. what did you think of what he saw?

a jury acquit those who clearly vandalized the statue of edward colston lee, a british slave trader, celebrated in bristol port assign the direct action, and juries can destroy power in this country. after all. that's the good news. that is the good news and you know, the colston ah colston decision which was justice by a jury and the difference between jurors and ah, a judicial system that allows somebody like julian song, possibly probably to be expedited is that it's a moral or surgery. it's like people themselves, the jewish took a moral view and there been a whole i, there been a whole literally of, of jury pictures. it goes back to 11 that i was in

her in the mid ninety's when a group called ploughshares, women broke in to a british aerospace or arms factory where they were manufacturing the hawk aircraft in lancashire. then bruton had just done a 500000000 on deal with in the leisure to supplier with 4 k ultra, which a claim for training. in fact, the whole k a trial. and i saw the results from this in each team, all were strafing and, and bombing. alyssa asked her, i should lean may have well, ah, the, the, the jury in this of course, found from them the reason the women are broken into the are factory and visualize. at least one of the aircraft was to prevention as a quarter in the fence to prevent genocide. and the jury agree that was

a moral decision. and we say the same with extinction roberto with anti war protesters. people who have gone past the bbc, view politics, pass westminster, who carry with always responsibility of, of great issues, ah, anger, enormous or all out of the world will have to go on to talk about the police bill to the curb protest. of course, in this country, but people can watch death of a nation. the documentary you did, which was used in evidence in that trial on your website job build your thank you. and that's it for the show will be back on monday, 5 years to the day, the president, donald trump, would you the us from the proposed trans pacific partnership agreement. the never came to me in 3 years since the trump administration officially recognized the unelected boris children supported venezuelan opposition leader,

one guy those the countries, president deville. then keep in touch by ola social media and let us know if you think you are free to protest in your country. ah, ah, ah, is the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos? you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into the step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that walks like end up being quite like a dog gets a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market, it's a private arena, a world where a single company controls the distribution of all day,

the products and the infrastructure of our economy. is this the world according to amazon? or may or may, we should all be mayor, may, we should all be angry because of what's going on. right. i can understand united states history and the role that slavery play is already a very formal institution. by the time united states became a nation, it actually to find the nation, the rise of capitalism clearly on the back of white with lynchings. and a great extent here, believe that really here in the country and country still dance and i'm from the south. everybody know, know what they're going to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war in the south is winning

with ah, we recently notified congress of our intense deliver and 17 helicopters. after the latest round of de escalation talks, the u. s. joins other nighttime members states and ramping up supplies of weapons to give, but tell russia to pull back his own free from its border with craig, also to come the mystery surrounding the death of sex offender in finance. the jeffrey epstein takes a new turn with us federal documents, the banks 1st suicide attempt, appearing heavily redacted on his own account. v complete keep blank bags and medical experts appeal to the international olympic committee to toughen rules about friends, gender.
