we will, of course, go to the human rights court, already to the international human rights court, which of course, the russian official authorities and trolls do not like. considering that foreign agents usually challenge their status in courts according to the same scheme, most likely, they all act according to the same methodology. it is a strange story, in fact, when... and artists who have gone abroad, yes, almost simultaneously begin to ask back, ask to remove their status as an agent and have the opportunity to work in russia, especially considering that we know that some of them, well, they are probably working on the information agenda of the west, but at first the tactics were completely different, foreign agents did not run to court, on the contrary , they were happy and proud of their new status, for example, showman repeatedly published his negative attitude to the svo on social networks and expressed it at concerts. the moscow city court found that foreign agent maxim galkin is using the performance abroad for anti-russian propaganda. russia is guilty of so many terrible th

as part of the approach he says he wants the uk to leave the european convention on human rights, quit the european courtan architecture that has been part of the uk for decades because he believes that is holding the uk back from dealing with this. other candidates do not have that same position. interestingly, a lighter note, he was asked about his daughter and the fact that he had given her the middle name of one of theicons her the middle name of one of the icons of the modern conservative party, margaret thatcher. i guess your daughter knew what was coming because l what's her middle name? oh, you're embarrassing her now. it is margaret thatcher. it's thatcher. she was born the year that margaret thatcher died. and so, as you know, i respect strong women. in fact, everyone is female in my house. got three daughters, my wife and two dogs, which are both female. but i thought it was a good way of reminding her of a great prime minister. he is trying to lay out a pitch thatis he is trying to lay out a pitch that is designed to attract the party membership will have the final say. we will hear from jame

human rights. we do not need the european court of human rights to be telling us what to do. did not seem to agree with that proposition. >> so by all means, why do you say the british people don't agree with that proposition? >> because they didn't vote for any. they didn't vote in majority for any party that wanted that to happen. >> but no, no party with the exception of reform uk has put that forward. the two main parties, as i mentioned, you regard the conservative party as being further right than than laboun being further right than than labour. actually, as i was saying, the schism in british politics is those who would govern through international principles and international bodies. and this is a very good example of one of them and those that would govern for the british national interest. reform is the only party in parliament that actually has that view. >> are you so arrogant that you think that only you know what is in britain's national interest, that no other person could possibly have a different, legitimate vision? >> i am so arrogant. >> i am so arrogant.

it emitted up to europe in court of human rights that it had unlawfully spied on my u. k. lawyers during this time ultimately, this harassment was legally groundless. president obama's justice department chose not to invite me recognizing that no crime had been committed. so united states had never before prosecuted. a publisher for publishing or obtaining government information to do so would require a radical, an omen to 3 interpretation of the us constitution. in january, 2017, and also can use it the sentence of many who had been convicted of being one of my sources. however, in february 27 team, the landscape changed dramatically. president trump being elected he appointed 2 wolves in america. has mike pompeo, a kansas congressman and former arms industry executive, a c i a director and william by a former c i. officer as us attorney general by march 2017. we have weeks headed to expose the ca, april, tracing our french political parties. it spying on french and german leaders. spying on the european central bank, european economic industries. and a standing order

as far as i understood i need, are you k called snow to european court of human rights to get got any final decision in your case. i, on the one hand, i would like to know to personally to know how the fields for you went on the other case. i would like to know whether you have any suggestions, systematically, legally, how cases like yours could really be settled in, in the, in the legal system that looks correctly and properly opposite 14 years detained in the u. k, including over 5 years and a maximum security prison and facing a 175 year sentence. with the prospect of g is more in prison. before being able to have his shots at the european court of human rights by the accepted a plea offered from united states that would release me from prison. immediately, united states insisted that i not be allowed to take a case in relation to what has happened to me in relation to its ex, additional proceedings. know that i, i could even file a freedom of information act request on the us government to see what was done they will never be a hearing into what has happened. and that's why it's s

and i'm going to put it to you that it's the creeping power of the european court of human rights in has caused this problem. >> i personally, i, i don't think it's the problem that some people make out . and i was people make out. and i was involved as a home office minister in introducing that legislation, and we introduced it for very good reasons. it was repatriating european law into engush repatriating european law into english law so that people could access it more easily. nowin has a large country house in taunton, and he was approached by the home office. and they said, we'd like you to lend us your house for seven years, and we'll give you £1 million if you'll do that , and we're going you'll do that, and we're going to put illegal migrants into it. and can you imagine if you're some albanian, you get put into the swankiest house in the west country. the first thing you do is get on the phone to your mates, say, you've got to come to britain. this is paved with gold. >> there is some truth in that andifs >> there is some truth in that and it's this kind of utter stupidity o

you can stay because of your human rights. >> well, don't blame him. blame the european courtights because you know , rights because you know, ultimately, what you end up with is a situation where. and i don't really like to see this as law. so one of the publications talked about this and they called it a legal loophole. i don't think it is a legal loophole. effectively, these these rights are so nebulous. they're so, so vague that nobody really knows what they are at all or what they mean or what stems from them . so this office stems from them. so this office block in strasbourg that calls itself the european court of human rights, it gets to make a effectively a political decision that in these circumstances , that in these circumstances, criminals who nonetheless break the law but manage to have a baby can stay in your country. and that that that is fundamentally overriding what the democratic government has chosen to do. you know, we elect governments, they enact laws. and those those laws are the laws that ordinarily would be followed. but instead we have this additiona

about the european convention on human rights, written, of course, into british law under the human rights act of 1998. and of course, it can also go to the european court explain article two and why that's. and why that's causing a problem. >> i mean, i think the, the important thing to realise here is that to my mind, it's not actually the issue with the european court of human rights per se, because when the, when that, when that was drawn up in the 1940s, you know, it was drawn up by people who had been through the war. now they understood the nature of combat . understood the nature of combat. and within the echr they put in article 15, which which enables people to derogate in time of war and in time of emergency, so that actually there's an understanding there of what warfare is all about . warfare is all about. >> and that's what you're asking for in your letter. that's what you're saying. and this is what they write. we ask the new government to activate article 15 of the echr offer to signatories as a means in times of war and other public emergencies of derogating from article two, which is the protection for right to life. >> and don't get m

human rights? i'm not sure because of the interest of powerful states because of the double standards that are applied in the international arena. and therefore, if it gets to court, often the human rights do not win the day. and so we need to think of other mechanisms to achieve these human rights. the problem is not the problem is with the force mental potential and in, in the middle east. and in the global south, i would say the problem is that law is closer to political convenience then to justice as i get up and i'm very sorry to say 500 years of core. oh, nice ation. has left a huge improvement in our dna in general. western people are not able to assess objectively, what is what is being done the through the no not publication or the international law or through the discretionary application of international law. this is terrible to see the dismantlement of international order premier support international law piece by piece the image will have to show the ministry by the name of the for them to tie penn national to the we've been what's the be the whole m dash domestic. but i'm, i'm not somebody computer level. i'm updates more than a c by then. sure enou

reuters reported earlier that human rights lawyers in germany asked the berlin court to overturn the decision of the country's government. according to politico, these complaints were filed due to the actions of the zionist regime in violating human rights by targeting civilians in gaza. indians also expressed their solidarity with the people of gaza. during the solidarity day ceremony with the palestinian people in new delhi, the capital of india, protesters condemned the crimes, genocide and disregard of the international laws of the zionist regime. with symbolic bloody bandages in the arms of indian mothers, the daily scenes of the mothers of the lost palestinian children were displayed in new delhi. america gives weapons to israel to kill innocent people. unfortunately, military equipment has been sent to this country from india. we condemn this action of the administration. enough of the war, we want peace and stop sending military equipment to israel. it was one of the most important slogans of the supporters of the palestinian people in gentermandter street of the indian capita

a system that is separate and unequal defined as a parasite by human rights groups and the international courtn act defined as apartheid. he has been in the west bank destroying everything, more than 40,000 dead, 15,000 children, schools, hospital, a workers. we cannot deal with this until we understand that you can never have security, also not for israeli jews certainly not palestinians, alongside systematic violence and occupation because those things do not go together. so you have to step back and say how do we change the israeli incentive structure to get out of this cycle of violence which will continue as long as palestinians have the rights denied. this is not about a terror group in a normal state. this is about the permanent occupation and resistance, both of which, use violations of international law, which is why the chief patrick leader of the international criminal court has requested in arrest warrant against benjamin netanyahu. let's speak to sam rose, the senior deputy director of the united nations relief and works agency. welcome to the programme. you are here to talk about

government insisted on writing into the plea agreement that i cannot file a lawsuit in the european court of human rightske a request under the freedom of information act regarding what was done to me as a result of the request about extradition. i am free not because the system worked. i am free after many years of imprisonment because i pleaded guilty to the fact that i was engaged in journalism, looked for information in sources, informed the public about this information. we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective. it is clear to everyone that russia is not a gas station country. russian digital solutions to take to new heights, there are prospects, even more brutal, yes, ours are more brutal, there will be more than what exactly the number helps, you are incomparably original of your questions, that in general, with production, raw materials and export, what is our product like?

the us government insisted on entering into a plea agreement that i cannot sue the european court of human rights or even make a freedom of information act request for what was done to me as a result of the extradition request. i am not free because the system failed. i am free after years of imprisonment because i pleaded guilty to being a journalist, searched for information in sources, informed the public about this information. meanwhile, mark rutta officially assumed the post of nato secretary general. in this position, he replaced jens stoltenberg, who led the alliance for a record 10 years. well, the ceremony of transfer of powers took place at the headquarters in brussels at a special meeting of the north atlantic council. the former prime minister of the netherlands assured that assistance to ukraine will remain one of nato's priorities. rutta also stated the need to increase defense spending and develop partnerships in different parts of the world. mark rute was born on 14 february 1967 in the hague to a businessman's family. in 1992 he graduated from the history department of the leden

and secondly, ah, these recommendations also form the basis of the decision of the european court of human rights may have... meaning for us, so we need to raise these things, name them, and this is important. the new secretary general of the council of europe, alain berse, named ukraine in his speech at pare priority of his work, as well as democracy and unity, to quote mr. berse. the council of europe should play an important role and a unique role for ukraine against the background of russian aggression. we must remain open and creative to support. mr. oleksiy, as in the current conditions and at the current paré session, to what extent is the topic of ukraine and russia's war against ukraine a priority for the paré session? an absolute priority, to be honest, even some colleagues and even i sometimes think so, because it is obvious that for us, for us , this is the most important topic, but we need a little... or to leave her room for some other issues, because in principle the ukrainian topic dominates absolutely, the meeting has just ended, and i can tell you directly, as they say, from the

then they must commit to leaving the european court of human rights. the echr. now that's interesting because that's interesting because that's not a universal position within the party. there are plenty. there's only 121 of them, but there are nonetheless still plenty who would oppose doing that? so that might create some tension further down the line if he were to win. not only because, let's not forget, neither of these candidates received a massive an overwhelming majority in the mps round. they both, at one stage or another, came first, but most mps will have voted for someone else at some point . else at some point. >> cherry there for us in westminster 7:12. >> let's have a look at some of the other stories heading into the other stories heading into the newsroom today. >> and un peacekeepers say an israeli tank has fired at one of its watchtowers in southern lebanon. meanwhile, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has held an emergency meeting on increasing support for gaza after the us threatened to take away some military support unless israel boost

sides, took part in some of this retribution which they later admitted, so that the european court of human rights that there was spying on his lawyers in the u. k. e legally. and that we also know, for example, that his wife, an infant son or target to had a seal. yeah. so that was tracking his wife all the time. and they go and apparently they were told to try and get d n a samples from the nephew of a 6 month old song. so they story they, they wanted to try and take biological samples from the feces of that child in the diapers. exactly, exactly, and again, you want to do that perhaps fine, go about of the legal routes where i can, are they the ones sort of constantly friction the world about the rules and regulations where they themselves don't adhere to. and this is why, truly in the sondra saying that this is dangerous because they're going to all the countries and doing what they want. but why do they do that? because those countries, as long as they're with the us that will bend over backwards for them, which is exactly what as ours. and so i'm just talking about. and again, all of this ha

lawyers were jailed, why a moscow court arrested two human rights activists, and what kind of crime drama with murder unfolded in saratov, my colleagues will talk about this and more in the vesti dezhurnaya chast program, right after the commercials. pain can be different. the mechanism for pain development is one. it doesn't matter what became the cause of pain, if there is pintalgin. a universal remedy against different types of pain. thanks to its combined composition, pentalgin acts against pain wherever it is, regardless of the reasons for its occurrence. pentalgin. we will do without pain. i am writing to you. what more? what else can i say? oh, if only there were vtb, then? i would be a different reader, ah, this gift is the key to the world of freedom, and petersburg opened up to me, the payment is far away, the cashback is huge, with a vtb credit card. tatyana, how blind i was, do you still love me? vtb is classic. at bigfest, a cheeseburger for 45 rubles or other products at a bargain price. still thinking about the perfect home? it's time to switch to domklik to buy an apartmen

so that the european court of human rights that there was spying on his lawyers in the u. k. e legally. and then we also know, for example, that his wife and son son were targeted that had to celia as so that was tracking his wife all the time. and they called apparently they were told to try and get d n a samples from the nephew of his 6 month old son. so they, sorry they, they wanted to try and take biological samples from the feces of that child in the diapers. exactly. exactly. and again, he wants to do that perhaps find, go about the legal routes, right? aren't they, the ones sort of constantly friction the world about the rules and regulations where they themselves don't adhere to? and this is why, truly in the sondra saying that this is dangerous because they're going to all the countries and doing what they want. but why do they do that? because those countries, as long as they're with the us that will bend over backwards for them, which is exactly what, as far as so i'm just talking about. and again, all of this has shown a song, again, to say that this his case has

secondly, these recommendations also form the basis of the decision of the european court of human rights, which can be of great importance for us, so we need to raise these things, name them, and this is important. the new secretary general of the council of europe, alain berse, in his speech at pare, called ukraine a priority of his work, as well as democracy and unity. i will quote mr. barse. the council of europe has to play an important role and a unique role for ukraine against the russian background aggression, we must remain open and creative in order to support ukraine in its stability and recovery. mr. oleksiy, in the current conditions at the current paré session, to what extent is the topic of ukraine and russia's war against ukraine a priority for the paré session? absolute priority. saying, even already, well , some colleagues and even i sometimes think, well , it is obvious that for us, for us, this is the most important topic, but it is necessary to leave it a little space for some other issues, because in principle, the ukrainian topic dominates absolutely, only that the

participation of ala oliynyk made a number of decisions, which were later recognized by the european court of human rightsating international obligations and the european convention on human rights. however, in the end, after studying all the facts, the advisory group of experts with the involvement of international specialists recognized alu oliynyk professionally. competent the higher qualification commission of judges continues to conduct interviews as part of the assessment of the current themis employees for their suitability for the positions they hold. this is kateryna sereda, the judge of the pechersk district court of the city of kyiv. i have certain, let's call them healthy ambitions in terms of my further career growth. kateryna sereda was appointed to the position of a judge in zaporizhzhia in 2012, and already in february 14, she was transferred to the pechersk district. kyiv court under a simplified procedure. at the time of transfer, she did not consider any case. this calls into question her professional training. and according to the public council of virtue, it raises suspicions about th

so that the european court of human rights. but there was spine on his lawyers in the u. k. illegally. and that we all so know for example, that his wife and son son were targeted. and again, all this has shown sondra again, is saying that this his case has given a rare insights into how powerful organizations are basically involved in trans national depression. when pa formations fuel entitled to target individuals beyond the borders, those individuals do not stand a chance unless they are strong safeguards in place and the state willing to enforce them. without this, no individual has a hope of defending themselves against devoss resources of the state aggressive can deploy. so again, waterhope is there when you have countries that are getting together and as long as it serves their interests are changing the laws and regulations. if they want to punish someone, they will do it. and again, he said that the u. k. establishment is to play involved with the us establishment because they have so many legs when it comes to weapons when it comes to a, b p, for example, a comp

the accountability with the army in someone 10 minutes, but like human rights players and they are tried in military court and the police report. so therefore, a, there is a lot more for the pieces to go on on this. additionally, there are many studies that show will be increasingly use legal for that. and therefore if there was an incident that ends up being are need is more likely that there will be in serious civilian injury. um and also there's a big question about the, the, how effective darby is, for example, in the city of a gun and the date of seen a lower right now. the for the past 3 weeks, the residents have been barely able to go outside because there have been numerous shoot out kidnappings. over a 100 people killed over a 100 people disappeared. and actually the security officials, they're said they do not have control who have control, are the groups of organized crime. so the question is, the army is being deployed to all the why can they not have control? and it seemed as a fail security strategies to work more soldiers on the street to respond to the dispute in crisis in mexico. during t

we'll be live from the commons for the results as soon as they come in, and the european court of human rights is under fire today on two separate fronts. firstly, it's allowed an illegal albanian immigrant to remain in britain to be with his lithuanian wife, who he got pregnant. so article eight protected his human rights to a family life. what a disgrace . and secondly, three disgrace. and secondly, three sas veterans have blasted the echr on the same day , saying it echr on the same day, saying it is hounding our betrayed military heroes over allegations of historic wrongdoings. i'll be joined by a former sas hero to ask him. the echr protects illegal immigrants and prosecutes national heroes. is it time to bite the bullet and scrap the echr .7 and later on scrap the echr.7 and later on today's show, i'll be joined by michael levy, an israeli whose brother was kidnapped and his sister in law executed by hamas terrorists on october seventh last year. in his tireless quest to free his brother, michael has met with over 50 presidents and ministers and has even prayed with the pope. he'll join

courts. physicians for human rights has just joined the case in france that was brought against russia and others. the possibility they could be accountability for a sitting head of state from violating international law is something different for 25 years ago was completely out of the question. certainly when i went to law school it was not something that was believable. we have to focus and strengthen efforts to bring accountability, and at the same time we are working with colleagues from the world health organization, the icrc, to do something that larry has been pushing for years, to make the health community understand the impact of attacks on healthcare. it's not just about the military events of attacking hospital. what happens when you destroy the hospital? that meets the people who would get dialysis can get dialysis. women come by the people are getting healthcare can't get it. children can't get vaccinated. this is a new way of looking at it. this is an important way of saying the military that is now increasingly using the exception that were supposed to be there in terms of attacks

comments about looking at the future of the uk's participation in the european convention on the court of human rightsto the right. and that might be because that is the kind of electorate that these candidates have two appeal to if they are going to make it to the leadership. tom tugendhat also made a lot of his military background and that is something else we will hear when he takes to the stage. let us hear a _ when he takes to the stage. let us hear a little bit about robertjenrick. he has talked about how the conservative party can win back voters from the reform party. i party can win back voters from the reform party.— the reform party. i think it is a symptom — the reform party. i think it is a symptom and _ the reform party. i think it is a symptom and not _ the reform party. i think it is a symptom and not a - the reform party. i think it is a symptom and not a cause. | the reform party. i think it is| a symptom and not a cause. it exists _ a symptom and not a cause. it exists in — a symptom and not a cause. it exists in its — a symptom and not a cause. it exists in its current state becaus

the european court of convention of human rights, if we deal with the human rights act in, britain. but why have these problems emerged in both of our countries? the answer is that the human rights lobby has not been taken on, and if you look at what's happened in the legal profession, you look at what's happened in in sort of i've talked about the dinner party circles earlier, but if you look at dinner parties, circles, people don't want to seem they would be accused of being racist they would be seen as being cruel to migrants. and that has that emotive attitude has informed the policy rather than the morality and is the the are hugely out of touch with what the average voter thinks on these issues that that is what is on you've got an elite who are affected by it don't care don't have their being suppressed by high levels of migration and have a population that are very, very concerned about the issue. and in my constituency of norfolk is the one issue that comes up on the doorstep is immigration. and from what you've seen of donald trump and his record in the first term of it's

human rights authorities . they've mothballed authorities. they've mothballed rwanda, they have no intention of amending the human rights act. they have no policy on on the european courtresting and it's interesting. >> there's data out today about the council house waiting lists . the council house waiting lists. and the labour councils will be housing four times as many asylum seekers as the conservative councils. and of course, there are a lot more labour councils now coming to a street near you soon. doctor mike jones, thank you very much for joining us. always forjoining us. always a pleasure to have you on the show . pleasure to have you on the show. thank you. now stick around because we're going back to the conservative party conference next. and guess what? he's not even at the conservative party conference. but they're all talking about nigel farage. we'll be live from birmingham next. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. now here's your weather. it's aidan mcgivern . aidan mcgivern. >> expect a warm front moving from the kitchen right through to the rest of the house. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello and welcome to the

right. boris johnson suggested we need a referendum on whether we are we remain in the european court of human. do you think it would be a good idea to ask the great british public what they think of this situation? >> yeah, i mean , firstly, don't >> yeah, i mean, firstly, don't we all think that, you know, at least for a few decades, we've had enough of european referendum, referendum. so i think that's the first thing i think, you know, probably this isn't really the best time anyway. but also, i mean, i don't think so necessarily when it comes to basic constitutional principles. of course, you know, our constitution is quite unique in the sense we don't have a written constitution. it's sort of more or less based on lots of statutes going back centuries. but i think when it comes to bafic but i think when it comes to basic constitutional principles, i don't think necessarily we need to be asking the public for their views on each specific point. but i think the main issue that people seem to have with the echr, the main dispute, the main, you know, objection to it . i mean, i the main, you

government insisted in writing into its plea agreement, that i cannot file a case at the european court of human rightsom of information act request over what it did to me as a result of its extradition request i want to be totally clear. i am not free today because the system worked. i am free today after years of incarceration because i pled guilty to journalism so he claims that his motive for appearing today, just three months after that, that releases because he's trying to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else and he's obviously got a very sympathetic audience here at the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. >> they've just put out a draft resolution claiming that his treatment was disproportionate, saying that he qualifies as a political prisoner prisoner. he didn't detail exactly how plans to continue to advocate for freedom of speech. that certainly is going to be something to watch. one other thing to note, max, is that he was very critical as the outlined the various abuses that he's faced over the years, very critical of the trump administration. the first trump administr

government insisted in writing into its plea agreement that i cannot file a case at the european court of human rights, or even a freedom of information act request over what it did to me as a result of its extradition request. i want to be totally clear i am not free today because the system worked i am free today after years of incarceration because i pled guilty to journalism so he claims his motive for a pairing is to try to make sure that this doesn't happen to anyone else. >> he says that he thinks that a lot of time has been lost since he's been in prison. he sees more impunity's as more secrecy, more retaliation. we shouldn't. he's called this a dark crossroads. it's for freedom of expression. so it wasn't a sense, a rallying cry, but he also did detail at length the various sort of abuse and mistreatment that he himself faced. and interestingly, given the timing of this in the context of the u.s. political calendar, he was very critical in particular of the trump administration interesting nuisance, of course, we heard trump in the 2016 election me that he loves wikileaks. he claims the trump

bashaw, the supreme court's dobbs decision has led to calls to return other human rights to the states. lindsey graham proposed letting states to propose whether or not to ban same-sex marriages. is this the correct approach? >> i think the court found gay marriage was a constitutional right because it was free association of two consenting adults. i do not believe the government will try to tell me and will that we cannot be married. the abortion issue coming back to the federal government to be codified, we will settle that as well. that is what happened with gay marriage. it went back to congress and congress passed a law. >> what we saw was a supreme court packed by three justices by donald trump that took the action of taking away the constitutional right for women to make decisions about their own body, engage with privacy that we are talking about. i was proud to work in a bipartisan way to codify same-sex marriage. we did it with urgency because we heard from some of the justices that this was on their mind in terms of where to go next. that is why people are worried. we do not

we do have our own human rights laws in this country. we have the supreme courtwhich are part of the fabric of it. so i think it's and this is what kemi badenoch has said , because a lot badenoch has said, because a lot of the tory leadership are, you know, having this question thrown at them. it's only robert jenrick who wants to pull out. she says. it's a knee jerk response to pull out altogether, and it needs to have a grown up conversation about reforming the echr and changing it. but getting rid of it probably wouldn't solve the problem. >> well, look, i'm all up for these institutions improving and reforming and being better as a result of pressure. it would require an enormous amount of european response to do that. and i think that's where the question lies. is there appetite with the eu itself needing a ton of reform? is there appetite amongst european politicians to reform the echr as well? and , reform the echr as well? and, and change a lot of the premise of it? i don't know whether i think this is the question, is it do we want to solve the immigrati

israeli regime's membership in some human rights institutions and commissions, recommending economic sanctions, establishing special commissions and even creating a special court for israel or other legal capacities. what is also mentioned in article 22 of the un charter, the general assembly can establish such suborganizations as it deems necessary to carry out its duties, complete legal isolation. the tree of wishes in the yard of the peace of palace is where children write their wishes on peace. is there something written about palestine in these papers? big events are first formed in minds, before they are created in reality. the day hitler saw the grandier of a great leader of the nazi army, he may never have thought that one day he would lose all his power, but all those people who saw him were sure that it was the day that the nazis died in their minds and in reality. the legal campaign against israel is similar. to that, increasing pressure on israel and changing people's view on the regime is very dangerous for israel's behavior in the future, because basically they engage in fascist behavior based on the story of the holocaust in people's minds, kill

i very much hope that we will pull out of the european court of human rights. and it's not correct. e position of kemi badenoch. she has not ruled out pulling out of the european court of human rights. we need to ensure that criminals and people who have come to this country illegally are deported, but they are deported to a jurisdiction that the british people have confidence in. australia is a classic. case in point, their deal with nauru, a tiny pacific nation in the in the pacific ocean, a population of only 11,000 is working. it's proved to work the accommodation facilities in nauru are now empty because the criminal gangs are not targeting australia, because they know that the their customers, the illegal migrants , customers, the illegal migrants, will be shipped out to nauru, where there are no job opportunities. so this, this contract that australia continues to pay nauru for maintaining the buildings is absolutely brilliant because it acts as a deterrent . we've got acts as a deterrent. we've got to send illegal migrants abroad. it's just got to be to the right country and

expect britain expected to be the leader of the echr, not to be the which stands for european court of human rights, which well, you didn't explain it to the people. no, you're right, you're right. i just assume they're very smart. but you're right. i know you shouldn't assume that they're watching gb views and shocking shock after the show. it's not not you. you're good. but the other person on the other channel, the other place is, is that they expect it. and that was the problem with europe. europe. they thought, oh, we're good.the europe. they thought, oh, we're good. the people who founded it, the french are good. the germans are going to be good. the hauans are going to be good. the italians are good, but they're not good. those europeans are not good. those europeans are not good. those europeans are not good. no. >> can i say one more thing? >> can i say one more thing? >> prone to fascism, he agrees with me on something, boris. he said that putin wouldn't have invaded with trump because of trump's sheer unpredictability. which i've always said. >> just reading that. yeah. reasonably. yeah.

on his position on taking britain out of the european court of human rights.ly going to do that? is he really going to take us out of the european convention? because a lot of people say if we do that, that will cause all sorts of problems with the northern ireland peace deal with the northern ireland peace deal, the, the, the, the blair negotiated all those years ago. so there'll be the big issues today, bev. >> okay. super. right. we'll be back with you in just a moment. but first here in london, the met police have launched a manhunt after a suspected acid attack took place at the westminster academy school in central london yesterday. two pupils and one teacher are thought to be among the victims, with the injuries of a 14 year old girl described as life changing. well, joining us now is former police officer peter williams. good morning peter. we've seen these attacks become more and more common in the last few years in the uk, often imported from cultures in which religions wish to punish , or religions wish to punish, or those people who are following t

humanity to the test. >> i'm two years sober. even whn no one is watcerng on the court. >> nightline will be right back, their works absorbs quicklyief. so get back at it. their works works for fast muscle frasier, frank. frank? —fred, how are you? —fred! including memory. >> thanks for joiningest of the man who helped launch abercrombie andthr allegations . he's a. >> we're here today charging ofe defendants. >> it was ann abercrombie and fitch, michael jeffries, matthew smith and james jacobson, the fo america's most celebrated brands, abercrombie and fitch, arrested along with his 2008 until early 2015. theypent millions of dollars onasucture to support ts operation, and maintain its secrecy. >> jeffries, who stepped down from abercrombie in 2014, is accused by law enfce sexually et more than a dozen young men around the trafficking and prosn at the heart of the case. the allegations of 15 john doe's. >> so it'surn of this case, we've seen r kelly go down on of the reckoning that i think we are starting to see in this world of arts entertainment moving forward. >> therrests are a relief to those who have alleged in civil lawsui

but, you know, i look at in april 2024, european court of human rights ruled that the swiss government'spolicies violated human rights. they sided with a bunch of swiss geriatrics because they felt as though the country wasn't going far enough when it came to tackling climate change, many people felt that that was an overtly political decision, the kind of decision that the likes of greta thunberg would have made. so is this not actually very much a political court? are we just seeing now here kind of activists in robes telling us who we can and can't keep in our country? >> no, of course not. i mean, firstly, i mean just a few of the cases that we spoke about and firstly, even generally robert jenrick studio e, i think he mentioned 3 or 4 cases, three of them, as far as i know, aren't even european court cases. they're actually domestic uk court cases. so i mean, that's the first thing. but secondly, we talked we spoke about abu qatada. the whole point was you have to do things properly. that's why eventually he was when we renegotiated our treaty with jordan, theresa may actually depor
