jack: scott galloway would say they're not doing enough. can they do more?tly, are they a media company or a tech company? >> well, i've always believed, jack, that they are a media company. they always professed to be tech companies, i think that's the heart of the issue, and it's a really good question. the heart at this point is whether they're media or tech companies, and i think they can't claim to be sort of digital engineers tightening the digital nuts of their digital bikes. they are responsible just like you are at barron's for the content that flows through your channels, but i are to say in relation to the current situation surrounding facebook, they have become much more responsible and much more responsive than they have before. and i think the boycott is -- once you exercise the threat, it has no power. so the threat, if the threat's there and it's almost unsaid, but it's -- that's far more powerful and much more powerful to have private conversation. dealing with the chinese. don't go public with it but just talk the them, talk them through it

they remain place in dumfries and galloway.in northern ireland? here, what about in northern ireland ? chris here, what about in northern ireland? chris page is in belfast. yes, this is one of the most significant days here in terms of easing the lockdown. because northern ireland is becoming the first place in the uk to allow pubs, restaurants, hotels and the tourist industry to reopen. all over the city you have pubs like the one across the road with signs outside saying they are back. for example, this one reopening as of noon today. there are rules attached, firstly if you want to sit indoors, you are going to have to order a meal. you can only drink alcohol on its own, if you like, if there is an outdoor seating area. pub landlords will be hoping the weather improves a little bit as the day goes on. also, entertainment in bars, the likes of music, live football matches on a screen, that is all being discouraged. all in the spirit of keeping social distancing. the requirement for the hospitality industry has been cut from t

georgia galloway is standing by he used to be a member of parliament there what do you think it is george would you have voted given what you know to go ahead and start sending arms over there again that could be used to kill children in yemen. absolutely not and hundreds of thousands of people have perished in yemen the poorest country in the world right next door to one of the richest saudi arabia and british weapons manufacturers have themselves been feasting on the dripping roast of arms contracts which are being used to kill the children you just asked the boss of door about the court halted the arms exports on the grounds that our law requires weapon sales to be used only for defense not for xterm no aggression or in-town no repression and saudi arabia is only aggressing against yemen it is in john lear oppressing its own people it shocked into little pieces a washington post correspondent just last year a good friend of mine. and it is the fountainhead all the islamist extremism everywhere around the world including in your country and in mine and so the idea we should be tooling t

for the institution of organized religion or at least maybe that's the way i'm seeing it george galloway what are your thoughts. well all that is sacred is increasingly profaned in these godless and materialistic times 1 people are turning against religion turning against the idea of gone for a long time in this country churches were increasingly empty now they're increasingly 'd attacked and that's something that is profoundly disturbing and the statistics you pulled out just sure how disturbing 3 attacks a day in europe against christian by symbols property or christians themselves and this ought to be extremely alarming to the mosque media the political class and the truck chyron rockets but it never somehow seems to be it's like a christian phobia is the last respectable full b.-a you're allowed to have 8 attacks on synagogues mosques are rightly condemned down deplored. attacks on christianity are more ignored than deep lore yeah that's interesting why do you think that is steve i think george of raises a really good point there and you know we have to be careful i'm catholic george

george galloway as the george how about that the trumpet ministration i'm sure is celebrating this decision so did bojo fold under pressure from trump. well look this is an act of national self harm or very considerable degree not just because this will set us back several years i think in the development of the network because it is the starting shot in an economic war with china the biggest country biggest population in the whole world on very soon the biggest economy in the whole world on this on top of having just walked out on 27 european form our partner countries which were are our biggest trading partners and on top of have example relations and i mean 0 relations with russia so it seems like we have a government that is ready to make enemies everywhere around the world and to do saw the behest of the most controversial u.s. president that there has ever been and who might who knows be out of office before the ink on today's announcement is even dry so you've got to wonder about the sanity of the british government today i'm sorry yeah george so if one way is out who is en espanol e

george galloway and. i will go to you 1st since my country celebration weekend is from the departure of u.k. rule our 2 countries have since kissed and made up and are bosom buddies now how do you view this modern day re-union between the u.s. and u.k. . well it's just another weekend for us of course because where how many going to celebrate losing such a jewel in the crown as we lost when you declare your independence but we have so many things in common with you on one of them is that we were both and your case are still on imperial power did not is it's an imperial power all the while going around the world telling other people what to do and if necessary occupying their countries and dominating everything about the lives of other people all the while saying it's our commonwealth or it's for the bible or it's for one human rights cause or another but when you boil it all down we are both imperialists are just the british are more likely to admit it as oscar wilde said i'm fond of him as you know we ar

george galloway so george 1st let's address ambassadors embassador lose words on this they were sharp he alluded to those passports being relics of colonialism what are your thoughts. well that was fighting talk and he's a long standing diploma 10 years he's been the boss of door and has never spoken like that before and that some measure of how angry china is the united kingdom joining in what is essentially a synthetic politicized and to china campaign coming out of washington britain is in 2nd place only to donald trump in hostile measures against china and clearly the chinese have decided this far and no farther and sword fighting talk if you're not keen to be our part or our friend if you want to treat us like a hostile enemy then you will pay the price on britain will pay a big price i think because as you know with the left the european union by the end of this year will be out of the old together on quite bad terms actually with the remaining $27.00 e.u. members so we were looking for new friends and new markets in the world and it doesn't look like china is going to be one of

george galloway and investigative journalist and author dan lazhar gentlemen good to see you both george i will start with you u.s. lawmakers seem to be ignoring america's role in the destabilization of libya in the 1st place now trying to blunt russia's efforts in the region how do you read this bill what do you think is the real reason for this action. well that would bring to 40 countries that the united states is going to be sanctioning more than $2000000000.00 people one in 4 human beings on the planet is under one form or other of us sanctions so the more you sign or widely you use this weapon i would have thought it's efficacy began to diminish and i think those lots of evidence about the impact on talk it will not be what the united states would wish it to be on the contrary it will push turkey and russia closer together but i must see if you'll forgive me if you'll allow me the notion of the united states lecturing everyone on how to put libya about together again when it was the united states britain and france which destroyed libya in the 1st place is really quite hard to date

george galloway so george some 300 years give or take since an update to your treason and espionage laws tell us what sort of loopholes will this plan to close and how might this impact the relations with china and russia. well anybody would need to make all of our after 300 years even you even would need a make over after that length of time so there's no objection i think in principle to the make over there's obviously a question about the timing of it and what the intention of it is a for me look nobody wants spies or treason everyone's against spies and treason for me the issue is who will guard the guards who will define what is treason and secondly the issue of transparency i mean if you look at me for example i'm patrick leahy transparently on employee of r t i present television programs very good ones just like you that get very big audiences so i'm not any kind of agent or treat are short just a broadcaster that's up there on the screen and can be judged in the respect if they are targeting people who are secretly working for foreign powers or for commercial powers by the way w

and george galloway so george we have not heard a peep from the camp on this little victory nor anything from boris johnson or dominic rab why is everyone suddenly silent. well when i was a kid you know we used to say something was a safe as the bank of england and the government's decision and the high court upholding all of the rendon to the bank of england as unsafe as any bank 80 were in the world you might as well put your your gold reserves or your sovereign wealth in i don't know the bank or panama the bank of england's credibility was shredded by the politicized decision to refuse to allow the sovereign government of venezuela access to its funds and by the way not directly it didn't want the money itself it wanted the money to go to the united nations in new york which would administer of those funds on their behalf for pandemic relief so it was always a cover us decision no i believe i've said to you before on here that the british judiciary is one of the least corrupt and one of the last uncorrupted relatively speaking of all the british institutions one by one those instituti

george galloway. george let me start with you there's an awful lot of talk about prince andrew what you're taken what are people talking about there in the u.k. . well i think he's large in the black book but anyone who is in the black book. is not necessarily guilty of anything but they do have an obligation to explain what they 1st saw in the billionaire mr epstein they 'd have to explain why they beat a path to his island to his aircraft who is townhouse and so on and prince andrew is of course heavily exposed in the testimony of at least one of the victims of the epstein and the extraordinary standoff prince andrew say's he wants to talk to the feds and the feds say they want to talk to him but no one seems to be able to put together so i'm volunteering rick i will be the air bridge between andrew and the f.b.i. i'll make sure that this meeting they bowl so i honestly want can actually take place you know the interview i saw what he did with a television reporter there convinced me that there's a

are reporting to us on the situation that we're seeing there on the streets of jerusalem george galloway joins us now to talk about this you know this is a side of israel that a lot of times the world doesn't see it is a robust democracy with people who have very different points of view how big a problem george do you think prime minister netanyahu has on his hands with this. i think it's very serious i think it could be the beginning of the gave years in any case as you said indicted facing trial on serious corruption cases it's extraordinary in any country such a person could still be sitting as the prime minister of the country but he keeps on winning or at least not losing the elections 4 of them in a row every one of which he was predicted to lose but somehow stays in the prime minister spot the deputy prime minister on a rotation now benny gantz has more or less the same policy as him towards the wide middle east issues but as you've rightly said this is about domestic politics it's about corruption coronavirus unemployment spreading poverty and a sense of that this prime minister

sorry about that thank you for that george galloway back here stateside you are now looking at a live look at the. honor the service is honoring the late congressman john lewis has body has just arrived at the steps of the u.s. capitol it arrived this afternoon here in washington d.c. after traveling from his home state of alabama his body will lie in state at the u.s. capitol just before his private funeral service on thursday at the historic ebenezer baptist church down in atlanta georgia the 80 year old civil rights icon died on july 17th. and over in france the yellow vest protesters were out in full force hundreds descended on the streets of paris on saturday many of the protesters demanded president and then you leave office while also calling for wage increases the yellow vest protests 1st erupted back in november of 2018 initially over the high cost of fuel but soon grew wider with grievances including wage stagnation and economic inequality. and today philippine president rodriguez deterred today is set to deliver his annual state of the nation speech and it's already being m

george galloway as of george correct me if i'm mistaken but i believe you are still serving in parliament when hong kong was peacefully returned to china some 20 years ago now one generation later there seems to be discord over the matter what has happened. while i was there for my sins almost 30 years and i was indeed there when all kinds of parliamentary royal wards were billed. the wish for and i'm a cobol relationship with china after the handover britain. kinda hong kong of course under bombardment of china for refusing any longer to a low british indian opium to flow untrammeled into their country were was devastating millions of chinese people addicts of the opium it's a very and glorious story and you'd think britain would want to get us father away from it in the modern age as it could but not so the british have never truly accepted their lust for all day in age or much of which was once ruled by them no wars return to its motherland and we've been causing problems for china in hong kong of our sense superseded of course by your own country which is using as part of its full cou

and george galloway and again full disclosure to our viewers george is personal friends with julian a songe so george it is the tale of 2 publishers it appears one of them locked up for publishing the truth the other are roaming the streets of london freely after publishing now proven lies what is going on here. well it's an even more tangled web is woven here you know because christopher steele is the former handler of and form a near neighbor of the now disappeared russian agent for the british intelligence service mr scriptural who was at least sent of the so-called love. affair saw here we have a month mr steele who is quite clearly guilty of involvement in a foreign funded foreign source to any way regime change operation in the united states of america because that's what his dossier was it was to force out of office the elected president of the united states a don't trump so mr trump has every reason to demand his extradition just as we have every reason to demand the extradition of on circle us the talk not just from the cia who has admitted to killing a young teenager in brit

the 15—year—old galloway got stuck at the crammel linn waterfall near gilsland on monday night.ought a visitor left a gate open and the cow found its way down from its field to the water's edge. the area has been hit by heavy rain for days, and the frightened animal was unable to make its way back up the hill. the fire and rescue service from nearby raf spadeadam joined other rescuers in a bid to try and guide the animal to safety, but in the end it had to be sedated and airlifted out by an raf helicopter. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review with anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. first up, spaceship earth, a fascinating documentary about eight people who locked down for two years for a science experiment. as i am ready to enter, i take my last breath of this atmosphere in two years. we were pioneers. we were the first biospherians. how can you prepare yourself for a journey into the unknown? the biosphere 2 is a collection of huge geodesic domes built in the arizona des

that fellow's name is will galloway. he is a student at clemson university.says he's not going to be voting for president trump this fall. he's asking others to do the same. will, i will go tigers but i do appreciate you joining me this morning. was there a breaking point, was there one thing the president did or said that led to what we just saw there, that breakup of sorts? >> yes. so i have not been a fan of the president's for a long time. i spoke out against him after the billy bush weekend in 2016. i didn't support him in november that year. when he was -- became the president-elect and then the president, i wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but he let us down just about every chance he had. so i have spoken out against him before. the reason for that video was the news that we found out that he has been -- was made aware and then did nothing about the fact that we know that the dictator of russia was selling to the taliban a bounty for every american soldier that was killed in afghanistan. i think that's unacceptable and i think it's borderli

we'll stay on the topic of schools and bring in scott galloway who is a professor at the nyu school.en you look at the landscape for the upcoming fall semester universities are all over the map on what they're doing whether full in-person instruction, online, how do you see this playing out? >> so i think we're moving toward or i would say we're exiting the consensual hallucination phase where we thought things would be somewhat back to normal. right now you have a spectrum of harvard going online, a hybrid, all the way to purdue still claiming they're going to welcome kids back to campus. a lot has changed. the curve, unfortunately, has not been crushed much less flattened. and i think we're coming to the realization there won't be any in-person classes. i think over time we will decide probably not to invite students to these small towns that i don't think are prepared for outbreaks. slowly but surely we are headed to a recognition universities and academic institutions are the warriors against the virus not the spreaders or enablers and i think slowly but surely we're moving to an

george galloway to tackle these questions here on the news of rick sanchez where we believe it's simply time to do news again. and here's a list of the questions that we think you'll be asking tomorrow after watching our newscast today is the u.s. presence in ukraine there to unify or divide did space 6 just set another record with today's launch what's larry king have to say about the president's most recent faux interview. ok we begin today with a mysterious new developments in ukraine which makes us ask the obvious question about what exactly our government our state department's objective is in that kind . 3 are we there to bring about peace or are we there to form a division and if so why let's begin today with r.t. correspondent igor did of. a ukraine army soldier dies in combat is called grabs a squad of brothers in arms and ventures out on a recovery mission. with. this video would become his last though and he key of rebel forces recovered the camera from the body of nicola after his life was and did by a land mine. and unfortunate death unlucky even he wasn't shot in combat he

george galloway who elaborated on the idea of the u.k. deferring to the us on the situation. where on the brink of all out economic war against china from the united states and in this case of the united kingdom should be treated regarded as the 51st state of the union because that's how it's now behaving so while we will just be the beginning of the the new 2 law chinese war. and joining us now to discuss is boom bust co-hosted investigative journalist ben swan and dean of the miami her business school john quelch bet i wonder start with you here this is all coming as a result of the ruling last week by the f.c.c. that essentially labeled weiwei as a national security threat is that what the u.k. is now actually responding to. well it's in part but it's also a kind of a bigger issue it's an issue of sanctions a session essentially what's happened is this the u.s. assistant really put sanctions on weiwei saying that the company cannot receive chips that are manufactured by certain groups and that they cannot use of why wait ships by placing the same sions on one way and stopp

spread of the coronavirus for news with rick sanchez i'm alex mileage joining us now is former george galloway you know george there's so much to unpack here in the united states the case never been worse in europe finally they're starting to see a break from this and now are thinking about opening things up and then we see in serbia where they want to read and people take to the streets and riot. what's going on here. well as alex put it. perfectly a minute ago this is about more than the coronavirus the political conflict in serbia has been unresolved since the war the nato war against serbia over of kosovo and early are over the breakup of yugoslavia the political fault lines have never settled down from the period of the united states. and his group are trying to a pools are be one way west on direction you might say others they are are you might call them serbian nationalists they look east they look to russia as the natural ally and of course serbian nationalism is still out in arms literally against the severing of the country over the course of all question cause of war now a nato prot

george galloway as i understand it and the story does get a little bit confusing george the russians are saying look this is a great thing the germans are saying we need it the americans are saying how dare you even think about putting a pipeline between your 2 countries rather than believe what any media in any of those countries i went to wikipedia i just did it would be a surgeon to read you what beauty of the north stream it says quote i think we can put it up here it is north stream is opposed by the us because of concerns that it would increase russia's influence in the region but us resistance to north stream is also influenced by the country's increased production of gas which gives the u.s. congress economic incentive to resist russia's supply of gas in favor of us shale gas this is what george what does it tell you. that's a pretty good summary of the old saw if you're going to take a shot at the king you're better not miss germany is the king of the european economy. european union of the united states and of course russia is smiling too this is a very big for my particula

i will give an update on the situation in dumfries and galloway.lf isolating. as a result, we are not as confident as we can be that this cluster is under control. however, we are seeking final assurances and information today around the situation at carlisle hospital and more generally in cumbria. i am hopeful that following a further review later today we will be able to lift the restrictions for dumfries and galloway tomorrow. i will give an update on that then. in the meantime i want to thank eve ryo ne the meantime i want to thank everyone living in the affected area for your cooperation and patience. that includes all those who have been involved in the object directly asa been involved in the object directly as a case or contact your willingness to comply with the test and protect system has been absolutely invaluable. i also want to thank all of the public health staff in dumfries and galloway who have been involved in the management of this incident. this will not be the last localised outbreak that we see. there will be further occasions

spell it's go do what's really going on in the reaction we're joined now by christiane i george galloway and econ professor richard wolffe professor wolf i want to start with you have we gone sanction crazy. yes i think so i think it is quite. evident the sanctions do not work and some crimes are counterproductive raggatt unintended consequence but are they really rudy giuliani really independently at what women are worth or not does not constitute a kind of political theater mr trump and the republicans aren't necessarily respected thank you jim from their golden years they're now going to beat up on china and make their big. you know a lot of all of that with french and which was that the average person is no dear. but they really almost every year they're easy to get around while they. make the rest of the world nervous very strange way in which you are all it takes between leading countries in the world george i'm thinking of a playground somewhere and some small school anywhere in the world where there's a big guy who beats a bunch of little kids all the time and eventually all thes
