getting an economics book, an old, a low moss said, oh, but you should look at the banks of melting, chris, what about what about the, the, the launch a picture here because you know, when it going back to 2008 layman brothers and all that kind of stuff, madame the epicenter okay out there in new york in the western hemisphere, but it affected the world. should the world be concerned right now with some sort of contagion knock on effect? yeah, i think i think the world should be legitimately concerned thing. what we're seeing now is just banks and institutions that trying to give them another 2nd chance in a 3rd chance that forced us because they know how catastrophic will be if we get a 2008 situation. so we saw the u. s. embassy race there in, in just right by 25 basis points. and really interestingly, in the u. k, for example, obviously the u. s. is main ally with the special relationship. it's, it appears that bank of england that have followed the fed exactly raised it to the exact the same amount $25.00 basis points. we so switzerland following and waiting for the fed with saying that we're seeing the euro's aren't even about. so, you know, we'll see what happens in the euros and whether they'll stop hiking interest rates . but it seems that that will completely, unhappily married to the,

not just the u. s. dollars the gold global currency, but also to the decisions made in the white house. when they have thousands of miles away, when none of the people in their countries have elected any of the representatives that are making these decisions. but then we saw, you know, russia and china, if we look at all of these treaties and paperwork that was signed, a lot of it was actually about banking systems and banking technology was, i mean, russia's already integrated, a payment with iran that is now allowing funds to fly and, and i'm for china, i mean the, in a, the chinese market is just huge. the minute china can not. i mean, she says something about the where with using swift, the, some of his what i mean, he's actually saying it say, so seeing what happens in the next months to years is going to be incredibly interesting. russia has worn but western powers are leading the world to a nuclear armageddon. it's washington down plays a plan by the u. k to send depleted uranium ammunition to ukraine. but the west has used those weapons for years with people still facing the devastating consequences

. decades later, this, canada ammunition is a fairly commonplace, been in use for, for decades, maybe died 10 minutes after he was born because he had lim, deficiency, and congenital malformations. with decades, decades warburton says the depleted uranium weaponry will not lead to a nuclear confrontation. and while washington has emphasized that u. s is not going to send similar weapons down, play concerns about the negative effects on people and the environment, and a lawyer who is suing nato for the bombing of serbia. explain the consequences of depleted uranium rule. depleted uranium is incredibly harmful, it's radioactive,

the half life of depleted uranium last 4500000000 years. this means that if it is fired into some territory, it remains there forever. in fertility develops in adults and a number of immune diseases developing children. ammunition would depleted uranium primarily affects the environment. it essentially amounts to eco side to plated. uranium pollutes the soil, the ground water and the air 15 tons of depleted uranium have been dumped into serbia annually around 30000 people get sick and about 15000 die for most of them. these are the consequences of the bombing of the country with depleted uranium ammunition i'm handling the cases of people affected by depleted uranium during the nato bombing here in serbia. more than 3500 people with cancer have approach my office. so we brought this case to a serbian court. only a court can confirm the truth and determine whether the disease is due to depleted uranium. we send everything to the institute of nanotechnology,

where through the course of analysis, it is possible to prove the presence of uranium and other heavy metals in the client's body. thus we prove a connection between the disease and the bombing. just about wrapping up for me here at our national from the entire news team. thank you very much for sharing your time with all of us here in moscow. rachel blevins at this desk at the top of the hour. i do hope you can join us. ah, ah, hello, i'm manila chan you are tuned into modus operandi. so he has no political pedigree . is the child of immigrants to the u. k. he's a political science as the youngest prime minister in modern british history. but is richie soon act rise to power as storied as base say this week we'll take a look at the 1st person of color to hold the prime minister ship in the u. k. all

right, let's get into the low. the me . in the fall of 2022, the u. k was reeling from the death of their beloved queen elizabeth and skyrocketing inflation met with tumble in the market as tore pm liz trust implemented a disastrous financial plan for britain. she resigned from her post just 6 weeks after replacing forest johnson as prime minister. so who's in 10 downing street now? none other than the man who lost to liz truss re she's soon back. now the child, the immigrants of indian heritage is heralded by the media as sort of this immigrant rags to riches. very pale and image concocted by a team of p. r. people to downplay his immense wealth and privilege as a child of

a successful dr. father and mother who was not only a pharmacist, but she owned the pharmacy chain. well, he'll indeed, soon as i grew up to attend private schools, elite universities such as oxford and stanford in california, where he met his heiress wife. he then went on to have a successful career at goldman sachs before trying his hand at politics in just 2015, a 1st time m p in 2015 to take the seat as p. m in 202200. but so next story is less of a rise to the top rather more of a tail of last man standing or worse, slim pickens to shed more light on this will turn to a former scottish mp. he's now the chairman of the hope over fear grassroots independence campaign in scotland. mr. tommy sheridan is joining us now. so 1st

tommy, thank you for being with us. rashid soon ox, ascension, 2 pm. is lotted as a win for diversity or even colonialism coming full circle with him, you know, being the 1st person of color to hold his position. the press heralded his storied rise. he himself fancies this blanket, child of immigrant story, but that's not the whole picture. is it? can you fill us in a bit on mr. soon. x background or his origin story? it's important that everyone understands that red cheat should. i doesn't represent the average emigrant to the u key. he as a success story for the expedients all emigration to the your director. she should not as a man born into privilege and living. and i believe this is a man who attended a boarding school as a youngster,

a boarding school that costs almost 50000 owens a year to attend know the overwhelming majority of families across the u. k. i don't am anywhere near 50000 pounds, but that's, that's mine was able to have his dad p to have them educated that wouldn't. chester boarding school a private school near to where he was born and shows hampton in the social cost of england. the man was born and a privilege, and the man represents privilege. he as no i'll but jim ignorant story average am i vince so far from discrimination suffer from low income suffer from hosing. this is a man who has never known any of those problems and f, any of the years wish to can so venue from 2007,

they will see the young, fresh, bushy killed richie sherlock bell. every one in b, b. c. documentary that he had many friends that were upper class and out of stock chrissy and he says and some working class and laughs and says, well, not working class. but then goes on to tell everyone that he goes to state skills to let people about the 2 could go to oxford. and cambridge just lake hadn't even though he went there from a private boarding school, costing almost $50000.00 pounds a year. the mine is privilege, personify. this is not a story of an average american yuki watching his way to the op. this is amman, born into privilege and represent stop privilege. and unfortunately,

he has governing on behalf of the privileged and society. critics compare his victory to that of barack obama here in the states and say his prime minister ship will do as much for race relations. immigration class struggle as much as obama's presidency did for solving and racism in america. your thoughts on that? will anyone who suggests that the election over it you should not can a you key will do as much for race relations as the election of bought a car bama the and america they really have to ask themselves the asking the right question. because truthfully, do we really think the election of barack obama has done anything to solve racial tensions and discrimination and racism within the united states of america?

i don't think so. i think that is clear evidence that racism has go wash, not better. and when you consider the disappointment that barak obama represented for many, many of the support of many people. so the he was going to govern on behalf of the majority, not the corporate minority. and sadly, they were let don't because bought a bama. he said that was one integers, may the catch, that was one of these platforms, universal healthcare for every american citizen, the richest country in the world. and they can't afford to give universal health care is absolutely unforgivable. a bought a car bama all shall present these over the largest number of bombings of those little countries and planted the mine who was

a sensibly amount of piece actually as guilty of dropping more bombs than even bomb or bush before him. i'm so body bama was that disappointment in terms of the aspirations of many black americans and those should believed in peace across the planet. and richie shook, well, do absolutely nothing to improve diversity or race relations and the key because the mind stands for the establishment, he stands for the status quo. he stands for changing absolutely nothing as far eyes, discrimination, racism, poverty, and quality as concerned. all of those indicators within the u. k. have gone wash, and the last 12 years of 40 government and they will continue to get wash eyes,

richie shook, governs for the wretch. and probably, you know, the tory popped in the key has been described accurately as the high, you know, poppy because if you study high, you notice the mama was the high, you know, mom or you will see that the 3 on the sick, on the vulnerable on the old as i, you know, do, and natural, the tory does what it said. the 5 and society are party, that priest on the week, the vulnerable the old, rich you should look, represent stop party, and he will do nothing to improve society for those of color. or did risha soon acts eventual when of the pm's chair come as a last resort. and by that,

i'm referring to the run off between he and liz truss after boris johnson step down, liz trust defeated. soon act only to step down a few weeks later did sooner when only because, and i'm going to put it bluntly, there were no other horses left in the stable. the victory of richie should look into some context for years. we have the you key button was a has 3 that involves an understanding that one tame, 2 stubbs of the world. what under the use of british imperialism breton, that was the dominant on the planet? no, it's important that that context is born and maimed. when you then look at the election in 2019 of boris johnson to become

the play minister of the yuki orest johnson as a buffoon of the highest order, boris johnson as a pathological liar. whose allies have been well documented all across the british press for many, many years. a man who lost several jobs as a columnist and an alarm squeals for telling lies. a man who had to re zane because of the lazy, tall, did british public about everyone else keeping cove and rules and regulations. apart from him. a man who was telling ordinary families that they couldn't visit sick relatives in hospital. and carol,

visa amandito families that they couldn't end funerals for loved ones while he was parting behind. number in and in pinging as f. life was just as joyous as it always has been for that bumbling buffoon. she represented in my opinion that up. so look, decrepit, b t off button, the imperialist nation. it summed up just how low but i had sunk. and the world that we were represented by somebody like bought us johnson. and everyone thought this is the, was that gag kind of gave watson this. and then less thrust came along and everyone thought, oh, we were broke and reckons, went from boris, the buffoon to all as the app. so look, let me who doesn't have

a low what's going on? well, the nation you year on you, your a women who was completely and utterly of thanks and became the shorter sampling, british prime minister and history. you have that as the context for register mark wrench. you should, i wasn't all they did by, by the black. each people did become yeah, him. and he was rejected even by that a minority that pop membership that was in, he was rejected by them in favor of last a much illusion. i think the less price. yeah, that's what reggie should like. that he was eventually allowed to take the range because i think the expression you've used there been no more harshly

stable and it's quite a good one. certainly is the truth that the tory party as an institution as decaying by the d and richey should i be in a place, will not address the absolute destruction of that party as a viable permit of the next election. i don't particularly re key a star ma, i think your stand mouth as a tory in the skies. but he will one by default, not because in the family. but because people cannot stomach any more of the tories . after 12 years of economic ruination and corruption, which has been amongst the wash and british political history. all right, tommy sheridan don't go anywhere. they're still so much more to unpack here. coming

up next, we'll examine why rashid soon acts, policies from domestic issues like pay inequality to nato. ukraine is really just more of the same. we'll discuss it when we return, said type. the ammo will be right back. ah ah ah . the me welcome back to the m. o. i'm a new fan. so the old saying goes new boss. same as the old boss. will this be

applicable to reach you soon back? tommy sheridan is re joining us. thank you for sticking around. tommy. so 2022 proved to be a pretty wild year for the u. k. a revolving door at 10 downing street. the death of the queen energy prices, skyrocketing inflation, exploding yet with each successive pm who steps in. the more financial commitment made to ating the kiev regime in this proxy nato war, risha soon knock was believed to be a fiscal conservative, and was expected to implement more practical financial policies. yet he's doubling down on the very financial commitments that his predecessor born johnson made to ukraine. now, the type of monetary promises that lad, mr. soon act to resign as johnson's exchequer. how do you square his priorities sooner than the british establishment as a whole?

are determined to maintain their support for the natal proxy war and ukraine and number one of course as to prevail to cover for all of the problems that the british population face. you see the u. k. as in the up of the was them felician for almost the years the you key has a standard of loving crisis. that means the standard of living is expected to fall by a full 7 percent over the next 12 months. we have food places at the highest of all in terms of advance places. we have energy, places that are on, on affordable. we have what cause being forced to take part and straight actions. hundreds of thousands, millions of what cars are going to be forced to take vague action the voted the voted for and the post to industry and the kitchen and health and

transport all across the u. k. what cause i've been forced to fight back, but what is the response of the government? or it's nothing to do because there's no fault gulf. as there was a new korean in the past, the russians blame the russians. so as it's very convenient for the british establishment to continue this coverage and so or for the proxy war and you clean because it gives them a bookmark, it gives them somebody to blame for the problems. and the 2nd reason, of course, the maintain the support as because british aerospace and all of the other bank are moments companies or me can packet making a packet of this war just as they have done, and relation to the horrible, horrible flight the conflict in yemen, which is destroy dot country has introduced the biggest humanitarian disaster on

the planet. just note our moments which have been supplied to short the read several 1000000000 pounds was abundant, been supplied, and all done for that particular point. what to be executed is disgraceful. and protected and america are banged up to 12. is risha soon. actually use here a boon for the u. k. you know, having a young pair of eyes at 10 downing street or will his age proved to be a liability, especially on the global stage. because by contrast, us president joe biden is approximately twice his age. is quite clear to most independent observers of politics across the world that by the chain. and you've reached into your eighty's and you've been around the electrical shock up for as long as job by the eyes staying to hang up the political. i ad joe biden,

and my opinion is if he has the answer to america's problems, then they are asking the wrong questions to begin with. because the mind does not represent the future of america, doesn't speak up for all been with people across america. this is a mind who was going to is way to undermine the positive progress of policies of the late. so bam, nissan, those were family sandals was talking about universal. medicare for all would be on the sandals. was talking a cancellation of a student tuition fees to left so many millions of the poverty that know read because of trying to pay off student dressing fees. when bailey shambles was talking about a minimum wage of $15.00. i know of to try and tackle which poverty jo bivens are typed up, one of those policies he has refused to embrace any of those policies. do by them

has continued to govern, more or less in the same vein as donald trump, that on this george bush, that before him in our woods. nothing is changing as far as us society, as sam, the wretch, our big coming, even more seemingly wretch. whereas the pool of the is getting becker and becker, that's why problems in america are growing. in my opinion, the divisions in america are growing and as a country that is very much of war with itself. i think the ager jewel biden doesn't help that, but more important than he's each is what he stands for. this is a man who was behind the legal invasion of a right. that's a mind to been behind. supporting tax breaks for the multi national corporations in

america, but not supported a loving minimum wage for all the nu, what cars and america. so it's not job biden's age. that's the i guess problem why he stands for. this is the biggest problem and that's the same to you. kima threat sheesh tonight. circling back to soon acts indian heritage soon act is thereby asian. will his ethnicity be reflected in his foreign policy towards the global south or will his financial status cloud, his decision making abilities, especially since he's now been quoted as calling china and russia the enemy of the u. k. yes, the, the election of richie should, i think, will change britain's colonialist imperialist, chauvinistic attitude, asia and china are diluted, less money, as recently ought to be at the end of the year of port build relations with train

of this mind. i've done his duty and been obedient to his bosses in america who have been trying to work up until russian feeling anti chain of feeling anti i run feeling for many, many years now because the want to sheet the world the way they see it, which is all about the free market output, the lives and the success and promotion of business are all cost. that's the most important thing in the world. and what will happen under richie, should i as breton, will continue to be a colonial or ruler and chauvinistic country as far as asia, as far as india, as far as pakistan as can see him. you know, people ought to just pause for a moment and try and think about what

a lot of women said. in 1979 when message child was elected in the u. t. a lot of women thought or greece, the 1st women pray managed out a need. your kid that is great for women rates. this is great for the advancement of women. at was an absolute for women. why? because she introduced policies that what are both economists division, she along the way jesus of all the new people she at the set goes that most women, what then the caring said goes, what did that mean? amend them more and more women were driven into poverty and despair spent the fight . but she was a women play minister and that is the same story. the hush to be applied richie, should not. he has a man of color. he is a man rizza, a heritage via his parents and grand parents and dea and pakistan. but

you have a situation where he represents nothing more and nothing less than the chauvinistic british colonialism. the breton has always embodied. all right, unfortunately i have to leave that right there, tommy sheridan. thank you so much for this conversation and that is going to do it for this weeks episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy . i'm your host manila chan. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next week to figure out the ammo. ah ah

ah ah yes, good. i do not expect transparency in these investigations, nor the general public to get acquainted with its results. brushes, foreign minister says he doesn't expect the western investigation and ignored stream sabotaged to expose the true. dr. award winning journalist seymour hersh reveals the cia scripted a narrative to cover up washington's role and need a tack on the pipeline with the president of france, disregard the protests that are a rough day over pension reform, calling the public voice illegitimate. and suggesting that only elected officials can steer the countries policies and new delhi scales down security at british diplomatic offices.
