, whether we are looking now a war and if, as peter ford said it takes to the tango, what you think may be a retaliation or not to come from hisbollah? um, let's just be clear about one thing, i do agree with mr. peter when he said that israel is not stupid enough to... to to do something that would make things go out of control because they they know that they are the losing part in it, and the the best evidence for that is the immigration or let's say the moving of the people of the settlers from the northern of occupied palestine. i also would like to stress that al mukawama, the resistance have always proven to be wise enough to not let of... or allow the israelis to control the battle, hazballah, when they want to retaliate, they would retaliate in a wise manner, it's not for the israelis to decide when they want hizballah to retalier just once they send a hit, because we all we all know like the rules of of of war or let's say the the what happens during these kind of wars like if i want to get my rival into war, i will just try to make some meanful or let's say unprecedented

also joining us is peter ford, former british ambassador to syria. i'd like to welcome you both. isabel, first start with you. um, in the past hour leading up to our program, we have been witnessing through different wires and media sources that southern lebanon is being pounded by the israeli regime, and a form manner that is uh very much above the normal skirmishes and military onslot that the regime has executed against uh southern lebanon. there's even uh talks of uh which can't be confirmed. i'm just saying the intensity is so high that even one uh particular viewer with a video said that this uh looks like even a nuclear type attack uh but then said it could be a bunkerbuster bomb. i'm saying that just to show the extent of the bombing that's happening. tell us what's going on with the israeli regime at this point? what's going on in their thought process if you can? uh, actually what's happening is just a desperate attempt by the this entity, by this failing regime, because they know that the only way, the only way to get out of the horrific situation they are in, especial

we need to talk about that a little bit, peter ford. what are we looking at in terms of again the statements they make out on the public and what uh really may be on their minds? i mean, we're um, are are they? i mean, this is always been one of the questions that i've wondered what the real answer is uh, whether it's the us supporting israel just through military equipments and uh arms and armaments, or are they actually advising them, or are they actually um? encouraging them uh, because uh, we are looking at different aspects of this, not only genocidal war against palestinians in the gaza strip, but also in other fronts uh, like visave uh lebanon, in this case, i should say his will on southern lebanon. well, actions speak louder than words, and the actions that we witness are the constant supply of israel with the weaponry, which allows these excesses and these atrocities. 'if the americans were serious, they would cut off the arms supply, but in terms of rhetoric, they try to be clever by appealing for restraint, by making diploma

vice president ford will be sworn in at that hour in this office. peterford, that was 50 years ago, august 8, 1974, where were you during that speech? steven: our family lived in alexandria, virginia. dad was vice president at that time and we were not in the vice president's residence. we were living in basically our old suburban home that is where dad lived while he was vice president and the whole family did and that's when we heard that speech. peter: were you all in the room together listening? steven: dad, mom, myself, my sister were home. my brothers were off to college at that time so we were home. it happened so unexpectedly. 10 months earlier, october 1973, my dad was a congressman. he had been a congressman from grand rapids, michigan for 12, 13 terms. he was the house minority leader. the amazing thing is my mother was so tired of politics, and she had finally convinced my dad that if you don't win the speakership -- that wanted to be speaker of the house -- if the republicans don't get a majority, that he would retire his next term in they wo

mohammed, you heard our guests in manchester, peter ford, talking about the the dynamics of of all of this, especially coming from the west, because my question is that if if the, regimes in london and washington see that the israeli outpost is uh uh too costly for them in so many ways that it's going to really destroy uh anyway their facade of being a democratic countries, why don't they cut their losses? and he said basically it's the muslims inside these countries and who they're voting for. i'm trying to understand this and i'd like your perspective of this, do you think in these countries that um elections really make a difference, can it change policy or or is the main policy of these countries um basically uh made by some entities or those very much above the electorate itself? uh, if we look at for example the united states, we know that usually it's either democrat or republican who is going to get elected because of how the system is set up, and they're both very, very prozionis and and pro'. of course israeli regime, mean your thoughts on the dynamics of this? well, i'm afr

peter ford, thank you so much for being with. thus peter uh, i don't know if you heard my previous question to our guests in beirot and we're talking about the differences and of course we we know that the muslim ummah the muslim community is over two billion strong um however we see uh the countries that are the uh groups even sometimes it's not even countries that have been supporting uh the palestinian cause i'm going to go back to 1979 um peter and with victory. the islamic revolution in iran, and one of the first things that imam komeini, the founder of the revolution was talking about, was the absolute support for the palestinian cause, and of course we know right after the revolution, the very first palestinian embassy was open here in tehran. i i would like you as a uh, well, a former ambassador, a diplomat, when we look at the what happened after the iranian revolution. and setting up new whether you want to say uh perspective, becauseini came and said not east not west, but the he wanted to create an islamic system, an alternative system to being under soviet hold or the us's whol

peter ford, what about some of the points that moses made? i mean, if we go back to psych pico agreement back in 1916 until again, i go back to 1979, and then after that the creation of the resistance, there was if there was not a whole lot of hope. in the region of countering uh colonialism, of countering imperialism, but as we have seen the resistance front strengthen, though it has definitely been pressured so many in so many ways, but we have seen a consistency of its strength that has given an alternative to the people of the region that has brought hope. of a different different possibility, and do you agree with that or not? well, if if you take 1979 as the the starting point for analysis, i think it's it's interesting to note that the iranian revolution provoked um many repercussions across the the arab world. "there was big pushback against revolution on the part of the the regimes and and largely that pushback was successful and popular islamist movements were repressed or overthrown. um, now perhaps we're seeing these currents comi
