11:00 pm
transparent, but we must live with a with youth outlet. bloomberg accidentally publishes a headline thing brochures invaded ukraine, problems in the kremlin, said jokingly, ridiculed aside by labeling blue bag, fake news. showcasing canada processing vaccine mandate, a gun from the go for me side after raising millions, as the platform accuses them inside think violent. the fake news bbc is telling us, well the bible truckers nobody supporting us. yeah. why don't you see come down to the soup kitchen and try to feed some homeless people or help us clean the war memorial. right. also in the headlines, the audio sharing sights,
11:01 pm
multi fi removed over $100.00 episodes of jo rogan's podcast, the white house, or the platform to do more about the cobit misinformation, the latest content, i actually have nothing to do with the pandemic. those the headlines is 70. i missed some day moscow time. and that's all for me. peter scott. neil harvey will be here with the weekly. hey, on, on the in about an hour. i hope you having a great weekend with
11:02 pm
i'm as soon as you know what's going on the ground after a phone call between putin and johnson who the kremlin appears to have characterized as utterly confused coming up in the show. as u. k. b, m are strong and arguably braces for war, both at home and abroad. we analyze a week that is arguably shut a damning light, number 10 antiques. while the donation troops had towards eastern europe to prepare for battle and 24 hours after the aging winter olympics opening ceremony, we investigate whether there will be repercussions for in a donation and allied diplomatic boycott bulletin will coming up in today's going underground. but 1st, this week you gave me bars. johnson temporarily escaped from his m p. 's at home and paid a visit to ukraine's capital care where he threatened russia with defective military action and sanctions. in one russian soldiers to cap cross the border into ukraine . this is a growing number of british m p. 's call for a new confidence vote on jones of leadership. after a censored report into alleged criminal government, covered law violations was released this week. well, joining me now from beckon's field in the u. k. as the chairman of the campaign for conservative democracy, john strafford. thank you so much john. for coming on i gotta ask the obvious
11:03 pm
question. he won one of the largest conservative majorities for your party in recent years. he successfully enabled bricks it so that we were able to get out the european medical agency so that there could be mass vaccination against coven. you're the conservative can favorite conservative democracy is not democratic to get rid of your leaders. it causes democratic, i mean that's the purpose of democracy is that you can change your lead is j. job crime is to change your government without having to have a bloody revolution. and that's the way it works in the united kingdom. in spite of the fact that we have got false within our democracy, we are able to be critical all our prime minister and our leaders. and that's all to do with free speech. but, but of course, he is not just the electorate, it is the m p 's in parliament, will have to say over johnson's fate. yes,
11:04 pm
and that is one of one of the boat lines in the the conservative party needs to actually get more accountability within its own organization. and by that, i mean the following. first of all, the conservative party chairman should be elected by an accountable to the membership. secondly, they should be proper motions at the conservative party conference, and the constituency associations should have the right without interference of selecting their own candidates. and by doing this, what will happen is that at a party conference ministers would have to listen to the questions and answer the question to the party membership. and it is because the parties become so centric controlled that it is lost touch with members. and that means that it is
11:05 pm
touch with the electorate. large a labor body is arguably moving in the, in the other direction to compare it with the labor party because it's how the different a controlled by the trade unions. unfortunately, increasingly, the conservative body has been being controlled by the fact cap bankers and h fund managers. and that's one of the folks in our system at the moment, but i was unable to deny that. but i just want to ask you then do you sense on the ground grass roots conservative member supporting what you're saying is i do in the website to do a majority of party members want to see or is resign and go. and clearly the voters do as a result of this whole party situation, which is the fraud. i was brought it to ahead as to
11:06 pm
whether he should stay on it as prime minister. i mean, the reality is it a political problems is urging towards the united kingdom, or is it just sitting there on the beach like in a way? and what has happened is that the people realize that boys may think the well, but he's a king with no clothes. and in particular, he's got no conservative clothes. and the members of the party realized this and also the dangers of realize it as well. and what the party members want to see is traditional conservative values in conservative policies. they want to see low tax, a small state, strong on defense, stronger or in order for pushing forward freedom, democracy, liberty,
11:07 pm
and justice. these are traditional conservative values that boris johnson is totally actually a reference to what is i think says to said when he was a child, what do i mean to cut defense? he flew in to give to maybe start a war with russia. i mean, unless he didn't apply and start trying to start with. i mean that, that's just what you'll be glad when you're glad you don't think that you know, because there's a wag the dog to get away from his problems at home. that's why he went to camp in the midst of all. now i don't think so. i didn't think people see it like that at all. i think they went to a ukrainian government and that was a reasonable thing to do. but i'm, i'm happy to same
11:08 pm
a situation. go ahead. all right, well, i think it was with what you fail to understand is that within the united kingdom, that there are still family and national memories of the 2nd world war. and i it was affected by that because my father was killed in it, 8944. and when i was just a year old. so i have no memories of him whatsoever. and that 2nd world war built out by germany game just today to land and then get it back. yeah. and naval chamberlain, the prime minister then try to appease hitler and it didn't work. and your father,
11:09 pm
your father was fighting on the same side as the russians. obviously, it would kill you seriously comparing vladimir putin who supported b a. u. s. her with hitler. and i'm not a joke, but i'm saying that you've got to understand that. and the people in the united kingdom saw the build up to the 2nd world war. and they are very worried when they see due to him having a 100000 troops on the border of ukraine at 20000 in bella, roost. and, well, what i would like to see is much more dialogue between united kingdom and russia. and you quite rightly pointed out during the say we were com is that we work together until i get rid of it. well,
11:10 pm
it seems to me that what we should be doing now is 2 things. first of all, i would hope that eventually we could get russia to join nato and become partners within the nato organization. we should be working towards that kind of situation because that's kind of trust that one needs to happen within countries. secondly, it be a democrat. i believe the people that determine their own future rather than i'm a suspension. so dictators and a water should happen in my view. is it a crimea in the eastern grain and grade? they should be referendums of the people as to what they want for their futures. and the reference should be conducted by international organization to a totally new drug. i already has. there already has been
11:11 pm
a referendum already. has been a referendum in crimea. obviously, you know, i would consider doubt on how that was whether it was great. we conducted what i'm saying that they were international observers. and i should also say, i should also say of course nato membership was discussed in 991. but the idea seems to be firmly off the table. i do want to get back to johnson though, why should it be off the table? well, that's why we install it if we're trying to move forward in the future, they just think kind of thing that should be discussed. yeah, that's what we install them. it doesn't seem to be having any of that. and of course the as off battalion in ukraine where we're sending a weapons is linked to elements that that would have been on the other side. i think in the 2nd world war. but back to johnson, you're saying he's not doing anything. will leave the leveling of announcement to
11:12 pm
one side because it's very controversial about what the money is. what about the energy decisions that he's making to mitigate energy increase is kind of that, i think you've mentioned that it in a sense of subsidizing us here to producing companies while subsidizing pro, like green measures. at the same time, it's bad, absolutely madness. we shouldn't be subsidized again, that's not a conservative approach to a should be left to the market to decide on these issues. and the 00 carbon emissions a mag policy. the united kingdom produces at most 2 percent of the common outside of the world. and the idea that we will affect the temperature in by stopping it and then backed up to the country. the process is just nonsense. and this is
11:13 pm
where i think that are going out of touch with me. it's a party members, and that's a policy that is going to change. and in addition to it, now that all the regulations is he's going to keep it in place in order to pursue the regulations are that he's absolute madness. and it shows a lack of judgement. in my view, aside from the police investigation, johnson said that he is pursuing all the alleged fraud that took place during this corona virus pandemic. who do you believe worth, johnson or lord agnew, the counter fraud minister who resigned to the dispatch books claiming that the counter fraud measures are just just not up to scratch. and i think a very honorable man and i, i trusted 100 percent. i'm afraid i don't have that trusted name morris. i'm afraid of the last couple of years. he lost all
11:14 pm
trust that i hadn't m as disappeared. i. e. s. u re reported. there is a failure of leadership and judgement number 10 downing street and i look back to president jefferson and the u. s. president. when he said that, when he came to judgment, you had a choice of either believing the professor or the power line. and he would always believe the power because the professor would say on the one time there's this on the, on that whereas a balanced by from the gotten spike from the trial and speaks for the people. and i believe the people are the ones who should determine these badges and that way forward. john strafford, thank you. you're welcome. after the break, we investigate who's playing political games at this he has winter olympics,
11:15 pm
as nato nations disengage from the international community to give may june of cross to reception. all of them all coming up about 2 of going underground. ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a treaty confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic or development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk
11:16 pm
with welcome back. it's 24 hours after several they donations and their allies stop the bay. jing winter olympics fire, a diplomatic boycott of its opening ceremony over alleged human rights abuses this days after china celebrated the lunar new year. and as we enter the year of the tiger, in the words of son, sue's art of war. unless you enter the tiger's law, you cannot get hold of the tiger's cubs. could this be symbolic of economic and political repercussions from nato nations after the boycott? joining me now from new york to someone who has spoken out against the boy got ceo of interpersonal intelligence advisory vip just well, thanks so much of it for coming on board. johnson's government following jo biden's lead boycotting the olympics, is going to make a big difference, didn't seem to make any big difference to the opening ceremony. not at all. for the simple reason, if you look at the history of the olympics, i mean they've been about 7 to 8 boycotts. nothing's been achieved. the world didn't change anything. it's ineffective. irrelevant and consequential. you know,
11:17 pm
the olympics are governed by the i o. c, not china. and these are the playground tactics that present the leadership is trying to you as a strategy. they just have toxic consequences. i mean, you know, this is just a reflection of incompetent leadership are not able to negotiate effectively or come to some sort of resolution. i mean, how sad is it for me in my country to be sending out athletes who are at their prime or performing for our country and not have their leadership with? well, i'll get on to what add to the blanket and your wife and say, and johnson. but even you who can track that to promote the games. that must be surprised that i way way an opponent of the chinese government to said the west boy good is futile and pointless. china does not care about. it's a tool. china is not auditioning for any one's approval. people don't seem to
11:18 pm
understand that, but they won't. ready tolerate being disrespected, you know, we're in a serious position where they might not forgive and it might not forget. well, i should also say that in the united states the something called the american values and security and internationals athletics act enacted by biting on december 27th. 2021 included in the national defense authorization act appears to mandate as reminded by the us foreign relations committee. the briefing of all us athletes competing in the winter games about the human rights abuses and safety concerns existed to the host nation i. e, china, what do you think of all the u. s. athletes having to be educated about the evils of china? are they also being educated about the good of china? and if they have all this concern, why are they sending the athletes to china? flip flop, leadership is only going to lead you down
11:19 pm
a slippery slope. so all this, you know, a 100 bizarre, that you're giving a history lesson that isn't necessarily balanced. and remember we are guests in the host country. so is it a case of much ado about nothing? i think so. yeah. but in fan, the sporting boy quintillion, south africa against nazi germany, surely were important. shouldn't the chinese government instead of just dismissing this and saying, so politicizing the games they should actively beach saying that there is no genocide and jin chang rather than saying don't politicize the games to joe biden embarrass johnson? well, i think the united nations of general century is saying exactly that of you know, these are the facts. we have 3000 athletes coming in from 90 countries. the united nations secretary general has himself said that, you know, in the spirit of games, let's observe, a truce nbc in this country. because who have the exclusive broadcasting, right?
11:20 pm
as an example, they have sold out of their advertising inventory for this whole period of the game . they've secured, a 100 advertises, and the, and the, the rates they're charging are higher this time round and they will for the 2018 olympics. so in this whole flatulence of, of opinion and hysteria at its core, we have the majority of the world. want to put aside the differences and maintain the olympics as a global event where nations come together. and if they can come together constructively, hopefully it can build relationships constructively, surprised that these countries, usa, australia, canada, denmark, japan, lithuania and britain on saying to avoid caught chinese products of chip say in apple computers of them. no one would really amuses me. i am,
11:21 pm
the irony of it is not last. we have so called smart leaders using smartphones made in china trying to send out ridiculous messages on some social media platforms are made in china. so it's, it's like i said, the irony of it is not last. maybe those chinese companies should have something in those electronic devices to prevent them damaging their businesses. and you know that this apparently there will be a lot of teaching of history of china as part of the cultural events. it's around the winter games. he's a little bit about that because i know that you, you've said that l, so social media will be used in a ever more sophisticated way to tell the world about her about china. you know, my so, oh, we're acting it in an advisory capacity. and our objective is to promote awareness,
11:22 pm
engagement and excitement of this event for the and promote a sort of a good sense of good cheer for the olympic athletes and team usa. we're using social media stars from the genres of food, fashion entrepreneurs and ex olympians. using social media platforms like instagram, tick, tock, twitch, and youtube, and really we just, you know, up highlighting the good of this event. but not, i think it genocide as a rick scott claims at what he who make, i mean, he hasn't written too big us multinational companies about the fact that they are technically foreign agents. i don't know, give us any products that made in china. what did you make of the fact he wrote to lee and editing mobile editor in chief of news week, the chief executive officer of newsweek complaining that you. i mean, he didn't say they should ban you from being able to write in a publication,
11:23 pm
but effectively saying that they should print a warning every time you write for the magazine, i write to bring your attention to a troubling issue with one of the music's contributors vip jess, while a registered foreign agent readers should be informed or disclaim. mine is biography, his shilling for a genocidal regime. makes me sound like a criminal, isn't it? um, but the fact is that senator rick scott suffers from a dereliction and distraction of duty. and i do question it's judgement of priorities, considering the, the chair of the tardy that you occupies. i mean, he chose me to be his 1st order of p r business in 2022. considering that his own state and various issues that they will coping with like coded and, and a few other things. um, you know, and all of this, i do feel sorry for him because he even treated it out. and i don't have to
11:24 pm
criticize him. and of course, i'm not being derogatory, i'm merely being descriptive when i called him a suck some sandals, kind of guy. you know, he treated it out and his followers, i attacked him. i wouldn't say they came to my defense, but the attack and they attacked him on his position on on, on the 6th of jan, the capital riots on the 6th of january attacked him for his position and the largest medicare fraud. busy in the history of the united states, they attacked him when he was deposed, how he invoked the 5th amendment 75 times. okay. but he was democratically elected as a senator after that have medicare for would fine. i mean, what do you think about taking a job with a country that is routinely? i mean, people can watch our coverage of jin chang where we have actually challenged the official nato narrative, as some might see. it. was it like to work for
11:25 pm
a country that is a routinely in a donation media accused of, of genocide? well, actually we this contract that i have has got to do more with the olympics as a global event. and it's a social outreach campaign. this is not a so called influential campaign that people are projecting it to be, you know, i've been involved in this so called swamp of people giving opinions like am a chill journalists, professional crows, and one or 2 senile sandwiches. and of course, like i said, you know, i'm not being derogatory, i'm being descriptive. i'll give you, well, i mean even in an actual genocide you wouldn't actually take the job from the nazis if the games were in munich and we were back in the 19 thirty's, no one was so simple as that. but i've received death threats. i've received death wishes um and now you know, i have nothing to hide,
11:26 pm
everything is filed with the department of justice. it's accessible to it from what i should say. i mean, when you say no one would, of course, a lot of american companies were involved in that. in the nazi games and us multinationals, people can read about their history of that. do you think or do you think there is something of joe mccarthy in these attacks on people trying to promote trying to make this a winters games a success in beijing? oh, absolutely. i mean, the, in my example, the people are trying to sabotage and mon marginalized, my, it's but, but to what gain i'm, i'm still confused. say when it help jo biden's, popularity. obviously, i'm speaking to you from a country where boris johnson is under threat. his leadership, biden's poll ratings, a very low. do you think it is? they see it to have their advisors see, it is important to attack other countries as a means of showing them their power on the world stage. only it shows power on the
11:27 pm
world stage. it'll, it'll come and pass like everything else we're living in such a fast, new cycle. that once, once this is over, within a week, or even we'll move on. i'm sure there will be lots of social media tweets, showing pictures of the u. s. athletes that it's all around the world, any idea of what the athletes must feel competing in a competition which is being diplomatically boycotted by their own government? well, i'm sure they'll feel sad on the day when this, when they see their peers from other countries, and they're like the ship around to support them and they are, you know, on their own. and it doesn't help if they are sort of the so called their education they getting before they go, it only adds to the fear and, and it could affect their performance psychologically. so you know, we should be a part of the united nations and the general sector himself has said that let's
11:28 pm
observe a cruise we should be going with as positive mindset as, as possible. and if i media reports to us, that the international community is boycotting this, he has went to games of aging. what should, what should someone viewing or listening to that kind of media coverage? i think, i guess they'd be intrigued what has want to do with the other live just well, thank you. thank you. that's it for the show will be back on monday, 8 years since the 22nd winter olympic games over in. so g, russia that also saw protests and calls from boycotts until they give me touch by ola social media. and let us know if you think may jennings, olympic games should be boycotted over human rights allegations. ah, well, and i make no shit. you know,
11:29 pm
board is under the keys and you finish as emerge. we don't have a charity, we don't have a vaccine, whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with join me every thursday on the alex salmon should i'll be speaking the guess on the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then.
