Congress wasnt and after all were coming up to a 9 Year Anniversary of an israeli assassination of a Nuclear Scientist in iran iran often being targeted has been suspected by assassination strikes on behalf of israel and im not quite sure whether israel was informed or not but lets lets assume it was the reason would be just the distance you know we are unfortunately still within the distance of iranian Ballistic Missiles iranian Ballistic Missiles continue to be developed against the u. N. Security Council Resolutions it is the ayatollah as a regime that continuously threaten israel so i think that would really be reasonable to to warn israel before so we can be prepared and also the iranians make no distinction of distinction almost between israel. And the United States they call the United States the big satan is a real ease this small satan so they put us together in the same boat while the iranian government officials from it obviously deny that they want to wipe israel off the map but i think anyone watching the footage of millions mourning the death of silly money see that there are people on the streets shouting death to israel do you think then that as you say the us embassy has now issued warnings for americans traveling in israel. What did you make of the fact that mainly its really money far from planning attacks according to the iraqi Prime Minister was actually carrying details of irreproachable between saudi arabia and iran when he was killed is about trying to stop any alliance between saudi arabia which has been getting closer to your country and iran what i think is just a matter of conspiracy i dont believe that this was the case especially not after the open account between tehran and in riyadh in saudi arabia. I dont think it would have been against American Interest if indeed there was going to be reparations between saudi arabia and there and iran saloon money was actually masterminding more attacks hes made mission right now was to drive the americans out of iraq so the u. S. If should a warning that no matter who attacks the United States the iranian will not be able to hide behind their proxies so what it means actually is that the conflict now hes surfacing on the table and no more deep down underground operations that the United States will tolerate it wasnt too long ago that even Corporate Media was celebrating in the west general salim money for his defeat of isis. Which some of linked to israel after the famous pictures of netanyahu in the Golan Heights frankly isnt the point that iran have a Nuclear Weapon this is a. As a nation wouldnt have taken place and the fact that thats the reason as a deterrent that israel has Nuclear Weapons which apparently that was finally admitted in the few days we have to set the record straight the fake that netanyahu was in the Golan Heights he was visiting a humanitarian project. Israel actually built a special Field Hospital for Syrian People who were wounded who were harmed by assads forces and forces were held by iranian militias or or other military. Shiite militias the ices the dies shes a sworn enemy of israel so i dont think this was the case actually i believe that few years back the United States was cooperating with salumi against isis against. But since of the money turned on the americans then they had no choice but to defend themselves as to the point of the Nuclear Policy of israel we have said it and you know actually read aerated israel will not be the 1st to introduce a Nuclear Weapon in the in the middle east but there is a big difference between israel and iran israel unlike you ron has never threatened to wipe out another country israel unlike iran is not using proxies all over the region to subvert the the regimes or for the countries actually trying to be the edge of one of the area israel unlike iran is not is not a signatory on the n. P. T. And the nonproliferation. Treaty so i dont think that there should be any comparison between these 2 cases like you cannot compare apples to oranges of course. Might Say Something else but as you say iran is a signatory the n. P. T. But ive got to ask you given me a putin is arrived for talks with president assad in syria do you think that moscow and beijing maybe looking on this and thinking you know like you just said israel is on the same side as iran against isis why cant these countries all come back together we of course would not be at all adverse to to changing the situation dramatically infects and im not speaking for the americans but it was president. Trump who repeatedly said that hes willing to speak with the iranians or without preconditions anytime anywhere but their refusal came out of tehran now as for president putin of course he is very much respected here in israel you know that. We have more than. One and a half almost 1000000 israelis who came out of russian the send a by the way hes also were scheduled to be here i believe in about a week or so and. Hes always a welcome here and of course we would very much like to see you fair russia can use their influence in damascus in tehran maybe something can come out of it ambassador thank you well joining me now from the iraqi capital baghdad where custom sulaimani was assassinated is a member of Baghdad Council security committee. Thanks so much coming back on actually just. Begin by saying that major nation state backed media here is saying that the vote in the Iraqi Parliament to throw out british and american soldiers is only advisory does it actually mean anything it does because the Prime Minister his intention was to os all foreign troops outside iraq and he needed the political backing from the parliament as we. You know put iraq in parliament is divided up on itself and he wanted a political. Following of political backing so he could go and face the american and the foreign troops behind him a Political Force so it actually does mean that the troops have to leave or what is the next stage of this since the vote yes see in 2014 a letter was sent from the Foreign Office iraqi Foreign Office to the Security Council of the United Nation asking for International Assistance now the job is finished ice is finished so now the Foreign Office will send another letter to the Security Council asking to revoke that old letter and thank you very much and we dont need your forces anymore we have got rid of isis so you can all go home and of course this is all a money with the man credited with getting rid of vices ok but then what did you make of the fact that their lab will muddy said that the British Foreign minister rang him and reportedly said please can we let british soldiers stay on training that was just before you installed and work at nato said all training is about to stop why do you think britain was calling up to try and keep british soldiers there and what do you think your Prime Minister thought of well its not only him the Dutch Foreign minister the German Foreign minister number other Foreign Ministers called and asked to keep some of their forces either within the Training Programs by the way the Iraqi Parliament did speak of a Training Program did speak that we do need Training Programs but we need to know who is training where and training for what in the name of trainers they came and they brought those drones as started as us invading people and as you may know that the americans assassinated other. Day top ranking iraqi. Personnel general who are says directly to the problem minister who is the deputy head of the Public Mobilization forces which is the force that actually defeated ices they assassinated this iraqi general just because he was with sulaimani now the problem with that is the americans never apologize theyre going to say that we didnt know that he was there they didnt explain themselves they just shot him killed a man and turned him to pieces and theyre talking about silly money were not really concerned of us away money we can send of our general the parliament is raise because of a woman in mind this not because of silly money the cerise in baghdad. Filled with people because of the why did this not because of still a money yeah general mondas doesnt have much publicized in this country its mainly saudi money of course the Boris Johnson defacto supporter the assassination strike ordered by donald trump do you think that makes britain a target for those who want to seek revenge for the assassinations no i dont believe britain would be involved in this i dont believe that britain would be a target i dont think britain or france or any other force should have any and he worries on this issue of course donald trump initially said there was an imminent attack on u. S. Troops which justified the assassination strike its now emerged that silly money was in baghdad with plans for some kind of reproach more between saudi arabia and iran why would baghdad be the place where this kind of communication might have happened and of course the prospects for peace right across the region baghdad is accused of having a very close relationship to iran so somebody wanted to make use of this accusation and the saudis also had the good i mean we developed in the last few years a better relationship with the saudis and the tension between those 2 countries basically are effecting the policies that were Security Policy of iraq so he was passing this important messages between 2 sides and he came he was he had actually an appointment with the Prime Minister at 830 be on theyve that he was assassinated to bring the radia reply or mr common is eminence mr common a reply to the saudi proposal thank you thank you after the break with trump threatening irans culture who owns history from the ogun marbles to the British Crown a new book examines the case for the return of blunder from u. K. Colonial bloodshed and oppression we speak to its author alleged to be human rights barrister Geoffrey Robertson. All those are all going up and walk through of going underground. But if she warned you and i did the dishes at the bottom or those jeans nudist beach and you see me we to you. And about that. In the news i mean that so that in fact involve. A lot of. Fuzzy parts about 2 kids each other both sides. As if. The. Cabinet felt they were days doing. People who simply knew. In the United States president ial candidates debate the future of the u. S. And the world. Max kaiser and stacy her but to get into the burning questions of this election cycle one every week will stacks student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic. And more catch up with whats front running this sunday exclusively on r. T. Welcome back more now on the fallout of the u. S. Assassination of got some silly money one of the things that even President Trumps hawk supporters of distance themselves from this week it is apparent threat to destroy Cultural Heritage sites in iran so what should be the consequences for such a flagrant disregard for International Law when it comes to culture joining me now for more on this and other cultural injustices is the leading human rights were Geoffrey Robinson q. C. Whose new book who owns history elegans luge and the case for turning plundered treasure is out now jeffrey thanks for coming on im going to get to the book particularly in a in a moment but your reaction to President Trump saying that the culture of iran should be targeting the world sadly this is a man who thinks like a barbarian because it is to protect against barbarian activities over centuries most recently of course isis we have developed over centuries this rule that you do not attack Cultural Heritage and here is the commander of the free world if you like. Announcing that hes going to target Cultural PropertyWorld Heritage areas. To spite iran he calls it a rainy and culture but its not its the culture of the world its Cultural Property the problems to resolve because its part of our artistic a doc a tech through evolution and so you know this is a barbarians idea of a sort of reprisal of the playground its not it it has nothing to do with International Law or its fit for a world in which law is absent well those of us say doesnt care about what happens in the hague its not a member of that court and off the target but american commanders do and its fascinating to see the initial reaction americas next commander has a brit in their military screw what is called a libra and it makes clear that its a war crime to attack churches to attack cultural institutions secretary of state or my compare defended trumps comments about some of the target of these did because he thinks like about berrian but the way said it would be within the law when i leave out that and everyone knows hes wrong the generals i think will for the most part disobey trumps command to bomb a World Heritage area because theyre remember nuremberg so they will not a bay those orders it will be perhaps the end of trump if orders given well if persepolis and veronique shiras is one great monuments human civilisation another is the pathan and contemporaneous as i was you know just a little later on the parthenon as the greatest existing one of the. Able to tell me about her history and the problem is that half of it is where it belongs in the shadow of the acropolis in the new Acropolis Museum in modern greece and the other half is in a dingy gallery named after a fraud stuff named law divvying who was a crook. Who donated a lot of money to the British Museum so they stored elegans nuit taken by the British Ambassador in 81 winched off the walls of the temple he stole half the models of the parthenon to sell for his own profit to the British Museum the board of the British Museum and say the dream gallery and the British Museum in london is a beautiful gallery only reject the board of the Bridge Museum would say anything very very there are a lot of a moral and. Arrogant multimillionaires who dont represent actually the uses and the friends of the British Museum but that has been their attitude that has been the British Governments attitude not Jeremy Corbin who offered to certain degree spend hes now almost history and the British Museum and British Government are opposed to the reunited this greatest wonder of the ancient world save the world can see it in 8 original shape well always a museum says its protecting it but you know it only expose allegation of the white washing of the whole story around the but you say that the mobiles themselves were whitewashed literally its just tell me about that was a scandal at the british. Museum did its best to hush up but this crook to v. After whom they honor with the presence of the marbles he rather liked the idea that the watch the marbles originally bra was no color should be whiter than white so hes got workman to see them and did great damage to them sanded it down the best really element of a game said it was a disgrace in the British Museum trustees of the time this was in the late 1930 s. Hushed it up and even as late as 9090 they told chris smith who was leading an inquiry of the parliamentary arts murray arts minister that they had been kept impeccably up was a lie and a new detail and point by point in the book about it for you know the main argument that anyone out there uses they dont use the arguments of the board of the British Museum saying we are an encyclopedia. Museum we should have a they say if you return these sorts of things to these countries they will be destroyed mr tuck is the new premier in greece was just with netanyahu funnily enough i was visiting him to rush back after the assassination in Baghdad Airport what happened if there was a red to retaliate against greece because its getting closer to israel and we might use well we are retaliate against london for its support unthinking support of american policy what passes for american policy in the middle east but what about returning Aboriginal Art what exactly tried were the good weve seen whats happening in australia right now it would have been perhaps you go out there you know that we see a merry go round most British Museums there and in people of telling the truth about colonialism captain cook or did but captain cook never fires act. Indigenous people he only fires warning shots even when he fucks has at their stomachs so what it says is is that ok up to and cook fired warning shots and they drop to glenn you have to go show that mean itll be a lame card disable a British Museum. We returned it could it be endangered by Climate Change of we send things back there it would be the most precious. Most precious cultural treasure for the Indigenous People who spread it thats why they want it back and theyre supported by their parliaments but of course its not coming back because the British Museum is so arrogant and a moral that it doesnt return anything its not prepared no matter how brutally the british army and he did act brutally in the 19th century it would kill the men the women the children on socalled punishment raids then it would steal everything it could lay its hands on they called it they did it officially and the wonders the treasures of benny in the treasures of mecca the treasures of these places and indeed the treasures of china. The 8th of odin led the attack in the opium war was the worst crime against humanity in the 1900. Addicting the chinese to opium to improve britains trade balance he attacked the sum a palace which was the path and all of the of asia china is trying to buy the tschiderer is now trying to even steal them back its thought to get it treasures back you call the museums of blood and other museums of propaganda is that really where the British Museum unsticking. Heart of the problem is the inability of British Museums to face and to describe accurately these colonial outrages the van de at an exhibit a few months ago about the might dollar raid in 867. 00 which was one of the worst colonial atrocities and i actually made a note of what the labels said in this rather pathetic little exhibition it said its time we realised that this was a controversial period in british ethiopian relationships you actually detail the legal frameworks and the updating of the universe and so on just tell me a little bit about it the concrete steps that are outlined after you describe the artifact in the context of where there are there is a convention that ensures or tries to ensure the property that is stolen after 970 or after the countries. Signed up to the convention should be returned before then items that were taken in colonial wars stolen with the one exception of not the loot. The property stolen from jews by nazis there are laws enforcing return and restitution when you talk about article 10 and article 11 should there be an article levon maybe in the Geoffrey Robertson charter because donald trump is threatening the cultures a sovereign nation what happens to lenders of artifacts who threaten existing militia to go to jail and they have those who bombed dubrovnik went to jail should up be limited to american museums as long as the president of the United States relates to serious matter i think whether art should be restored to a particular country from whom its been stolen. Depending on whether that country shows the same kind of artistic freedom and respect for its Cultural Heritage as it does for its own people and countries like china whose record on the we goes for example and on human rights advocates jailing them for many you want me contested the we are again the actions yes but nonetheless i think it raises the question of whether they should go back and of course let us not forget on russia today there is a little problem you mention the bush. Administration which holds premiums treasure which was taken by stalins trophy brigade from i think of zoo where it had been hidden prey treasure which probably wasnt priya notes but did come from troy and you say that Vladimir Putin could triangulate between competing claims of germany and turkey it was interesting that gorbachev provisionally agreed to return it to germany. But putin overrode him and will not hear of its return from the Pushkin Museum i think there is now very good museum at troy where it originated which happens to be in turkey and Jeffery Oates in q. C. Thank you. As of the show we were back on saturday night that of us 3 for the fascination of the food and 2 year old director of the 10th year a human richmond blonde suspected of being a joint obama really because of the drugs big deal that you talk about social media to go where you juggle feels. So these terms inflation and deflation they tend to hint at the connection between the finance economy and the real economy and sometimes a finance economy gets out of hand and you have crashes and sometimes the real economy gets out of hand then you have stagflation because wages are too high but sense 2000 and getting even more pronounced since 2008 we have 2 separate economies there bifurcated theres the privately owned Central Banks who print money for private the top 110th of one percent of private citizens and then we have the surf class or the neo feudal class and these 2 dont interact and. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy for indication let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic bad to follow good only closely and going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. And were going to fulfill the repeated purposes oh politics to the people and come out to be you know we will box people to. Be really really wrong. If you want to. Know.
