but it's not just galloway.i would want to look at some of the irish writers, graten has things to say about this. one of the really interesting early proponents of this is john cartwright who writes a pamphlet. what he means by independence is legislative independence. he's envisions what we would call a commonwealth system and publishes i want to say in 1776, i talked about it a lot in any first book, it's right at the start of the car. and he may use the term commonwealth in there. of course when someone like cartwright or james burg, another person who's talking in these terms, a scottsman, they are thinking of themselves as commonwealth's men, and there's a couple of women too, they're harking back to an older republic style. it's a complicated question. commonwealth, just like republic, it's the english version of republic, can mean both an extended, loose knit association of states and republic can mean that too. but it can also mean -- refer to a state that is itself a republic, the commonwealth of penns

there is a lot -- i have to go and look at -- i want to look at galloway. it is not just galloway. i want to look at some of the irish writers, greta knabb has things to say about this. one of the really interesting early proponents of this is john cartwright who writes a pamphlet. he calls american independence, the glory of great britain. what he means by independence its legislative independence. he is envisioning what we would at critically call a commonwealth -- he publishes in 1776. i talked about him and my first book. how quickly we forget. right at the start of the war. he may use the term commonwealth in there. of course, when someone like cartwright or james berke, another person who is talking in terms of scotsman. they are actually thinking of themselves as commonwealth men, there were some commonwealth women as well. catherine macaulay being one of them. it harkens back to an old republican style, so it is a complicated question. commonwealth, just like republic, it is simply the english version of republic. it can mean both, and extended loosen association of state.

i want to look at galloway, but it is not just galloway. i want to look at some of the irish writers. one of the early interesting proponents of this is john carterwrite. he calls american independence the glory of great britain. what he means is legislative independence. he is envisioning what we would anachronistic recall a commonwealth. it's either 75 or 76, right at the start of the war. he may use the term commonwealth in there. someone like cartwright or jamesburg, another person talking in these terms, they are thinking of themselves as commonwealth men, there are some commonwealth women too, sort of harking back to an older republican style. it's a complicated question. it can mean both an extended loose knit associations of state. it can also refer to a state that is itself a republic. the commonwealth of pennsylvania, i grew up here. it's a slippery term in this period. you see republic to describe a larger commonwealth federation. i would have to do some digging around to be certain of that answer. >> when we are kids and learn a

is not just galloway. would want the look at some of the irish writers. graton has things to say about this. one of the really interesting early proponents of this is john cartwright, who writes a pamphlet he calls american independence, the glory of great britain. though what he means by independence is legislative independence. he is envisioning what we would an act row cyst particularly call a commonwealth. it is either '75 or '76. it is right at the start of the war. and he may use the term commonwealth in there. of course when someone like cartwright, who -- or james berg. another person talking in these terms, a scotsman, they are actually thinking of themselves as commonwealth men, there are some commonwealth women, catherine mcholly graham being one of them. they are sort of harkening back to an older republican style. it is a complicated question. commonwealth like the english version of republic can mean both an extended loose knit association of states. republic can mean that, too. it also can r

good enough to join us live to take us through that she's going to be joined with by george galloway so what we're doing with both of these guests as we're offering you the business perspective and the political implications of this story ben i want to begin with you look i just called around some of my sources and when i asked them why china was doing this what they told me is that china is tired of seeing the dollar as the world's only currency and that this is just the beginning of them china that is creating or competing and making their own currency at some point in the future if that can you confirm that and explain that to us yeah i think that's that's absolutely true i was the one thing i would push back on is the fact that they said this is the beginning i think you can go back 5 years 6 years and say the beginning really began when china russia india and south africa began working together as brics and brazil began working together as the brics nations and that was the real 1st move i think to say we're going to get rid of the u.s. dollar as the world's reserve currency chi

in a lot more stricter terms than what may have happened previously there are 2 things george galloway that seem becoming seem to me that become president more often than not in these cases it's not so much the act it's what happens during and after the act when a police report is written which seems complete fiction compared to what we see on the video and be fellow officers who never stop the person or later describe their supervisors what really happened isn't that as big a part of the problem i think that's. yeah i mean i think that's what makes it systematic and dots the difference between a random single our saw of a policeman losing the composure if you think how many people are convicted on the word of police officers in court and now you discover the systematic lying 2 has been openly exposed by video everyone and the lies that are exposed make you question how many other lies the film. all that were spoken and core and sent a man to prison that's the crisis that we are now in and yes it's not only the person who kills them on that's responsible or guilty also his fellow offic

george galloway once again thank you very much listen to this in what is a bit of a shocking counter protest today against those protesting the death of george floyd a group of demonstrators in new jersey may have gone too far i'm going to show you an image now and look i'm going to let you decide for yourself in trouble. to kind of look at this the counter protestor is across the street from a black lives matter protesters and you can see him there mimicking or mocking the killing of george floyd is communicating a message on that no matter how vile you and i may think it is it is protected by the 1st amendment of the constitution of the united states so should a man be fired from his job should he be panelized even further or not at all. these are the facts of the story right now as we know it with correspondent treated jobs. as black lives matter protest against racial injustice continue across the nation some counter protesters in new jersey are sparking outrage after mocking the death of george floyd next to an all lives matter and trump flag the video shows 2 brothers now ident

specifically in london at trafalgar square so let's bring in our friend george galloway former u.k. m.p. to weigh in on these demonstrations in his home country so george thousands have taken to the streets of london bucking the u.k. government's rules banning large gatherings in light of coronavirus why do you suppose this george floyd killing and the black lives matter movement in general is reverberating in such a way over in the u.k. . well as will smith said racism is not getting worse it's getting filmed and i think the x. factor here is the video of the lynching of george floyd there have been many i've just been listening to bob dylan singing about poor emmett till the young boy in 1955 lynched mugged are his blood draining into a southern see if we've had video cameras and if we'd had own cameras then of course. lynching the. crime would have reverberated even more loudly through the ages the george floyd lynching will live forever because it was filmed and all of these videos now i'm not sure if it's fully grasped then the united states racking up tens of millions of views

galloway talk like that one guy was a maniac but i was going to be. the guy you just boyd of do you talk about you know gallo. so we can we got 2 minutes to for you to tell me what's going on with redacted tonight i understand you've got a barn burner coming let's see how much we can squeeze in here i did 1516 facts about the american policing that a blow your mind some of them i'm sure you've covered on this show you know american police could kill roughly a 1000 americans a year year after year in other countries you know in the u.k. they average like 3 to 7 a year in denmark and switzerland they often go a whole year without killing anyone so what was that was the number here 100-1000 in the u.s. 0 in certain other countries denmark switzerland can you believe they let everyone live why would they do that is crazy right and then i also get into like the prosecution rate which we don't often talk about from 252019 and we see also reported on this 3 officers were actually convicted of the highest crime of murder 3 out of $14000.00 americans killed or

george galloway and also charles marino he's a former secret service supervisory agent my facts to both of you gentlemen i started the show today by showing a video where a police officer came to the defense of his fellow african-american police officers while some drunk who again was as sensually using the n. word against them and threatening all 3 officers the officer no doubt lost his composure but machinery no i think i want to begin with you at what point do we start to separate the difference between abuses cases involving police officers or and we. yes no i think we can i mean police officers are trained very clearly on the use of force and those requirements always require the officer to remain composed not to lose their patience against words that may be hurled at them always to use the minimum amount of force necessary to gain compliance to a lawful order so if you see anything that goes overboard you're going to see officers start to be held to account. more stricter terms than what may have happened previously there are 2 things george galloway that seem becoming seem to me

i should say none other than george galloway former u.k. m.p. margaret goodness who would have thunk you people are trying to erase your deface the legacy of winston churchill you say what george. well look winston churchill had all the prejudices of the english upper class of his time and maybe even of this time he had shockingly racist things to say about indians africans are obvious everyone actually except the english on the americans 2 but by the same token the same man if it were not for him all of us would have been slaves all of us in britain all of us in europe and maybe much farther afield than that because if he had not stood alone in 1940 and 41 before the united states all the soviet union had entered the war then hitler would have been the unchallenged king of europe and every jew re catholic every disabled person every gypsy every gay person every one who was not of the area in moscow race might very well have been wiped out and that dictatorship have prevailed for 100 years rick you really can't say counterfactual history so

george galloway here's what he had to say. there's already well over $100.00 for developing a vaccine going on now are there in the public sector or in china or in the private sector or across the world saw there's no need for another entrant into the race to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus but the funds will in part be used to aid the distribution of a new vaccine that is eventually a mare jers is thought to be safe. but it's got to be a good thing because there are lots of places no matter how cheap you make it if it is developed by the private sector you still have to pay for it saw this summit and the money that it raises will be used to help distribute it not sold more sucked up now george on the surface it sounds like a really good thing but gabby is the organization launched by bill and melinda gates and a lot of people have been reticent to fully embrace any gates affiliated anything do you think that's warranted. i do want to be honest i've never quite understood why he and read just so many people. so much of t

at this home in galloway they have had no confirmed cases but they have had no confirmed cases but theyso been unable to get hold of the test. it would have been an official for us to have the test. it would have been an officialfor us to have been the test. it would have been an official for us to have been tested earlier, it would have put us a bit more at ease. we are further down the line now, having been closed since march, it is quite scary thinking that if somebody comes back with a positive test, that will have a huge impact on the home. across the whole of galloway, only four staff were tested in the first half of this month. 47% of people who have died of covid—19 have been in ca re have died of covid—19 have been in care homes, more than those who have died in hospital. it is staff who pose the greatest risk for bringing the virus into homes, that is why they want to test them all every week but it is a target they have yet to meet. the charity that runs this home say they have only been able to get 5% of their scottish staff tested compared to 90% of their homes in england.”

at this home in dumfries and galloway, they've had no confirmed cases but they've also been unable toneficial for us to have been tested earlier. it would have kind of put us all maybe a bit more at ease. we're further down the line now, having been closed since march, it's quite scary thinking that if somebody comes back with a positive test, that'll have a huge impact on the home. across the whole of dumfries and galloway, only four care home staff were tested in the first week of this month. of all the people in scotland who have died of covid—19, 47% of them have been in care homes, that's more than have died in hospital. and the government know that without visitors, it's staff who pose the greatest risk for bringing the virus into homes — that's why they want to test them all every week. but it's a target they've yet to meet. the charity that runs this home say they have only been able to get 5% of their scottish staff tested compared to 90% in their homes in england. i welcome the commitment to weekly testing because that is a commitment that has ‘t happened in england, but the

states to do the same all the talking to broadcaster george galloway. the city of leicester goes into lockdown as the merrick's presses his worries about the economic impact that says $36.00 locations are identified as coronavirus 2 hotspots across the u.k. . u.k. prime minister boris johnson announces his plans to boost the economy after the nationwide lockdown but since the government could increase taxes contrary to his election manifesto i'll be joined by m.p. jim sheridan. the 1st minister of scotland accuses the u.k. government of failing to koos to consult other countries on the plans for bridges amid fears it could lead to a surgeon coronavirus cases. and a doctor's group warns of an exodus of health service staff ahead of a potential 2nd wave of covert 19 we hear from the former chair of an n.h.s. trust. good afternoon and we start with some breaking news a lot via has taken steps to ban 7 of all artes television channels. the country's national electronic mass media council has imposed the ban and has urged other european union member states t

george galloway and the us india analyst j. cancer gentlemen good to see you both george i will start with you and in the koreas the north claims that this move came about because the south was sending propaganda over the border in the way a fly out of flyers does that make much sense to you wouldn't that be a bit of an overreaction if that was true. well certainly with my long experience of the law of the fair efficacy of fly us the idea that you would blow something up because of a flyer is clearly ridiculous i think both these conflicts are proxy conflicts for different reasons i think the north koreans are indicating they are unhappy in us the lack of progress with the united states the united states is out of reach for a variety of reasons and not just geographically so they have this empty house. filled with significance and symbolic sense they are screaming for attention screaming for some kind of resolution to the long running policy of sanctions containment in which they find themselves in on the india china track cert

george galloway so george i did not originally intend for this to be a comical segment between us but as life would have it it has become a comedy it's a farce this dimitry can still have guy whom they claimed was effectively my boss and mind you i have worked with our party for over 6 years now i had never heard of this guy before today i had to google him so i guess my question to you is george why did it be any p.l.p. do the same thing they'd have discovered that he runs another russian media outlet . well in the words of oscar wilde you'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh a little a lot via flexing its muscles trying to lead the european union on our merry down soft censorship and media repression has dropped the stone on its own feet it is quite well known not actually in media circles the r.t. is run by a woman not just a woman but a young woman who's given birth several times whilst running this massive media empire one of the hottest media properties in the whole world but lot didn't appear to know that like you i had to google this individual he runs apparently an en

george galloway mike i'd like to start with you 1st can you give us a summary of what's been happening in afghanistan lately that led us up to these airstrikes. where there are still peace discussions going on there are still look scrabble within the afghan government on the exchange of prisoners and taliban has promised to continue their. attacks on afghan forces but they're not attacking nato coalition forces but the united states does to give aerial support. to taliban forces which were apparently cornered at an intersection and under heavy attack by taliban in that case they did come to there so there are systems but there has not but in the meantime the united states is continuing to withdraw u.s. forces from afghanistan and that level probably will diminish as the as they approach a better settlement they're still trying to get the afghan government and the taliban. representatives to come together and start talking but that's not going so well and george a lot of anti. war activists are really angry about these recent strikes because they believe many civilians were hit while we

good stuff george galloway as usual a clear thinker we thank you sir for taking time to take us through that explanation and that analysis finally now we want to leave you with an image that might have some interesting action around it today see that right there that is the statue of abraham lincoln it's more than just a statue of abraham lincoln though and this is partly why the controversy is center around this it's a statue of abraham lincoln with the emancipation of slaves one of the slaves you see right there beneath him kneeling and that's part of the controversy many people are arguing including the representative to the u.s. congress from district of columbia that this statue should be taken down from this particular place and maybe put in a museum instead that is why many protesters are now saying that they would like to go there and perhaps even take the statue down by force if they have to their reasons are multifold one that the one african-american is kneeling before the president and that he shouldn't be and the other is that when this statue was put up no african-american

george galloway george i don't really know where to start so i'm just going to pick the election front john bolton says that president trump begged president xi to help him win reelection by having china purchase more american agriculture is that really that controversial of an ask i mean trump asking a foreign leader to buy american what's wrong with that. well it's not exactly a domino legation is it it's likely to help pres the trump in farming areas of the united states john bolton storage doesn't do a rule of soya beans you might see any foreign leader asks for all the leaders to step up their part just as all of their country's exports soared that's the best the old wall ross has to offer i'm not sure i'll be queuing up for this expensive joe memoir of national enquirer are in a hard buck he said he said it's really vacuous stuff and so all the other allegations that i have read. is supposed of mosques tourism a britain was. nuclear. he might do we use nuclear power or you might have just been stating the bleeding obvious that our nuclear weapons actually are american nuclear wea

george galloway and pulitzer prize winning journalist host of on contact chris hedges is joining us so 1st over to george george we we saw protests across london all the way across to cardiff but those in the u.k. seemed peaceful were they and are there similar sentiment about police brutality over there in the u.k. as well. amongst black people there certainly 'd is no policeman has ever really been brutal to me but then i've got blue eyes and a white face that's not the lived experience of many of the black people in big cities in britain and that's true of course across the european continent saw the demonstrations in britain have been big even in my own home city of done deal a small city 180000 people which doesn't have a demonstration that i've known of since i left at 35 years ago has a demonstration this evening. a very peaceful place had a gigantic demonstration today this is all being free told for america's soft power in the world mandela the idea of might and donald trump giving orders instructions advice as to how other people in other countries should live and should run

at this home in dumfries and galloway they have had no confirmed cases but they have had no confirmedhey have also been unable to get hold of the tests. i think it would have been beneficial for hold of the tests. i think it would have been beneficialfor us to have been tested earlier, it would have put us all may be a bit more at ease. we are further down the line, having been closed since march, and it is quite scary thinking that if somebody comes back with a positive test, that will have a huge impact on the home. across the whole of dumfries and galloway, only for care home staff are tested in the first week of this month. of all the people in scotland who have died of covid—19, people in scotland who have died of covid-19, a7% people in scotland who have died of covid—19, a7% have been in care homes, more than have died in hospital. and the government know that without visitors, it is staff who pose the greatest risk for bringing the virus into homes, and thatis bringing the virus into homes, and that is why they want to test them every week. but it is a target they have yet to

george galloway into this conversation because boy wouldn't you know if there's an election coming up in the united states and apparently mr maziar is a trump are. poking each other on the issue of it as well about who will be tougher and more anti-communist when it comes to. when it comes to venezuela things sometimes never change george what do you make of this. well it so for show donald trump is the peace candidate we know from john bolton and we now know from joe biden. both of those are much hungrier for a hard on line against america's enemies president donald trump. disappointed with trump he hasn't started any new wars he has withdrawn forces from several theaters and they are in a 2nd term he would live up to his pre-election promise of ending america's everlasting never ending entanglement in foreign wars and john bolton's been presented with is to see how he's now or fish really in the liberal camp who'd have thunk it. let me let me tell you something about american politics that maybe you don't know material a bit about my backyard i'm from south florida being miami fort

george galloway and former wall street journal correspondent now editor at consortium news joe lauria to talk about this new york times story i started out by asking them what's at stake here considering that the trumpet ministration is trying to negotiate a peace deal with the taliban here's what they had to say. is once again on the talk for. us wars are all the big good new ones. in his recent joe. the. are on the side of the security in trying to keep these wars going this is another hole it's a russia gate hopes mark 2 is as absurd as the previous one and i'm going to tell you i've got to admit i'm sure. i can remember when a big power our roads giving bondy's to the taliban or at least their fathers their older brothers but that was not russia but the united states throughout the 19 eighties and the victims of the taliban or their fathers and brothers time well russians so this is not just on drew it is the very reverse of true it's what psychologists call projection projecting onto someone else what you yourself have done joe your thoughts on this. but there's a lot at stake he

george galloway so george i read through his entire post i am totally baffled and unclear as to how other media arrived at their charge that he is somehow rewriting history in fact putin actually later admonishes joseph stalin as crimes against his own people but he does lament how diminished russia's role in world war 2 seems to be written at least in the history books is he right. yes he's absolutely right in fact is rewriting the rewriting of history which is. been going on a peace for a long time for a long time it was by omission the someone my age in this country would simply not be told about the actual role of russia of the u.s.s.r. in the 2nd world war and then more recently we've been told the precise opposite of what actually happened and in the recent may events tweets from the white house not from don't trump personally but from the white house account actually claimed that britain and the united states had won the 2nd world war this is an outrage the u.s.s.r. the russian people as the successor state to the u.s.s.r. one of the most by heart in a way the more significant reas

was a crime committed once the money was killed it's all right we'll leave it right there george galloway joe lauria thank you both for your time today. thank you. all right now to the latest coven 1000 numbers worldwide cases now over 10100000 and some 500 in 2000 reported deaths the top 3 countries with the most cases the u.s. still leading the way followed by brazil with more than a 1000000 now and russia and right here in the u.s. about 2500000 cases with about 125000 reported deaths. and the european commission delayed a decision on their travel ban refusing to comment on the list of countries whose citizens will be allowing be allowed to enter the e.u. in the coming days but you know the u.s. seems likely not to be on that list will bring you more on that as details are unveiled and then back here in the states and calls for the removal of unwanted statues continue with some taking it into their own hands literally a lab report straight ahead and then later at the sports h.q. regina hamm brings us some early action over from k.b. and remember to keep up with all the latest news and

george galloway so george thank you. appears to keep looking for ways to kill this pipeline in order to keep distance between the germans and the russians why. well words like unlawful and in conflict with international law are merely a polite ways of seeing is legal this is a blatantly illegal act that is being threatened nor against venezuela not against iran against the united states as closest allies in the world in western europe cannot make sense strategically for the united states to be day after day after day making enemies of friends we discussed just yesterday the i.c.c. thought it was the patterson accords those 'd the iran nuclear deal almost without number fights are being picked not with traditional enemies but with traditional allies. it's probably you ask why it's partly to stymie russian cooperation in europe not just with germany because this guy asked will. the houses of people throughout europe but it's as the german statesman just said it's a shakedown it's a soprano style shakedown by our freedom gu

george galloway george i kind of think i know where you're going to fall on this but i'm not quite sure where ned stand so let ned why don't you up throw out the 1st salvo here. well no i mean we've never as we've we're not part of the rome statute we have always fought the i.c.c. attempts to assert jurisdiction over u.s. military personnel and again i would reiterate george w. bush who i wrote for was exactly right we were not going to be part of the i.c.c. for fear that it would target military personnel and the real question the real debate here rick is over national sovereignty the u.s. is not going to surrender some sabras sovereignty to some international court and if they insist on trying to assert control this is why you're seeing the trumpet ministration push back if you would like to try and do this we will revoke pieces for you your family members and we'll freeze your assets you can have it both ways you can target u.s. military personnel as war criminals and then try enjoy all the privileges and benefits of this country george to you. this is a court we're talking about jud

george galloway george what say you to the foreign minister's remarks on this very muddy issue between the us and the i.c.c. . well you know you've got problems when you've lost the support even of the british government. in the week last week the fact you lost the support of several 2 european union governments that sub it easier to bear in washington but when the british joined in i think the us has got trouble even in the long history or bull in a china shop diplomacy specially under this administration the threats to the i.c.c. this is judges we're talking about lawyers court of fish oils the threats from washington against them were just beyond the pale that crossed the rubicon you do you as his entire told not to extradite soldiers or intelligence officers to the i.c.c. because you don't recognise the i.c.c. about you're not entitled to tell the i.c.c. which alleged crimes it can investigate because afghanistan which is where these alleged crimes took place is a member of the i.c.c. and so the i.c.c. and afghanistan by law to live are perfectly entitled to investigate anything th

last three hours, pretty extensively across north—west england, some nasty ones in dumfries and galloway storms for the midlands, loads of storms across wales and they are going to last for another few hours. the wales and they are going to last for anotherfew hours. the next wales and they are going to last for another few hours. the next few days, warm june sunshine but further downpours expected on the risk of localised flooding and it will continue to feel quite warm and humid. though showers and storms probably still with us as we run up over the next few hours towards the midnight hour, and perhaps a few of them across the irish sea, moving across the isle of man, northern ireland, into western scotland later in the night. otherwise, becoming dry but there will be low cloud across the north sea coast and it will feel muggy with temperatures between 11 and “i. will feel muggy with temperatures between 11 and 14. tomorrow, slowly brightening across the east, showers from the word go in western scotland and northern ireland but in the afternoon the big storms kick off and this time it

had this flag flown over the capitol because i want the united states of america to respect george galloway and. that's why this flag has gone. i want the united states of america to show him the respect that he richly earned simply because he was born in this country because he is a human being and because he is not expendable oh that's why this flag was flown. and i have a resolution that will be presented to the family and this resolution will become a part of the records of the congress of the united states of america. this resolution is going to say to those who look through the vista of time that at this time there lived one among us who was a child of god who was taken on time away but we're going to make sure that those who've looked through time that they would know that he made a difference with that is time because he changed not only this country not only the united states he changed the world 2 george floyd change the world. and we're going to make the world know. that it made a difference. your brothers and sisters we have a duty responsibility and an obligation not to allow t

broadcaster george galloway told me that the move is a blow for press freedom. they are client states of the united states of the e.u. or western countries they're being told to do it i don't believe the result is the same the people of those countries in this case like the us will not be able to access media that they want jack says so much for our freedom of speech so much for the free market george can you see this decision being with us. well i hope so but it's more likely to spread that there are many of our client states in the area on the periphery of the european union and it's quite likely that those states are going to limit what a lot this is done unless of course others are public backlash which there should be we are told to the european union of the west in general stance far too little designed for uk law rather than to our media stars and lower sproule people pick their own flowers. we see what happens in reality is something different when significant numbers of people reach out for our keep the government reach out for the repress butter. when
