Briefly how quickly does in the british media youre told you know well just swing around to realize what chinas going to be one of the big allies of brics it britain well i think. The badly burned i think you are right i think its on its way already basically and everyone news the chinese economy is huge and its going to be a major is a major potential market for stupid and i think everyone will be extremely pleased that. Governments going to go to its backside marketing interesting u. K. Product thank you after the break we asked former your advisor in kabul. If the recent spate of islamist atrocities in the Afghan Capital can be connected to u. S. President. U. S. Ask elation unfortunately was the council in britain creating a benchmark for hiding. Among the grammys. On the north of new zealand well the civil going up about. To him going underground. The release the memo moment is upon us republicans are billing it as some kind of Silver Bullet revealing political corruption at the highest levels of the department of justice and f. B. I. The democrats on the other hand and their supporters in the liberal media call it a distraction finally the public will decide heres what people have been saying about redacted in the. Bill the show i go out of my way to you know. Really packed a punch. Is the john oliver of a Party America is doing the same we are apparently better than. The c. People youve never heard of love back to the night im president of the world bank. Seriously send us an email. Welcome back to go through some of the week stories now is the broadcast of a liberal democrat member of Parliament Lembit opaque and you go ahead cuts i had to run out during the break to get a haircut anyway when he had think of dollar drops or p. S. Morgans or whatever state of the Union Address very impressed. Everybody anyone who loves them both think it was great people who dont like him can you see poke holes in it you can see him really trying to be a statesman what is poetic maybe is the one about the midwest and its first oh no no i can give you examples but you probably dont want to one thing is certain he showed great failures of leadership in firing the Deputy Director of the f. B. I. When he fired james komi given that he knew because hes been tweeting about it that mccabes wife received maybe seven hundred k. From Hillary Clinton lets look at the headline here from a. B. C. F. B. I. Deputy director under mccains departure a case of curious timing dont make assumptions here its not definite that hes been pushed out hes been bullied i think everyone knows there is a move from office was well one thousand days early from his retirement it does look that way but its not definite as you say you dont think he should have been removed for his political affiliations it is a bit curious and i think we wouldnt really accept it in the United Kingdom if somebody in his position had a wife who was trying to only seven hundred thousand dollars we have because its not even the money its not even the money its such a Clear Association with a Political Party because she was standing as a democrat i dont believe in a separation of judiciary and legislature and the executive in the United States in an example of any just as we live in britain where its all tourism a doesnt mean you to say that example of any f. B. I. Has another close relationship good or bad with the american president you cant hoover great whatever that gets the f. B. I. Involved with the cia definitely in the ten u. S. Air bases up and down the country here in britain now we can find out what the secret ones here in britain if you have it its a beautiful thing thats the guardian reports fitness tracking up straw because the way location of secret u. S. Army bases the law of unintended consequences now there are trillions of records in the strath running all of fitness i dont use it i dont need to my body is already my temple but so i say i want. Other fitness applications are available but maybe not for this if you want to know where the u. S. Army bases are then or you have to do is look at why because there are repeated cycles in places like afghanistan and syria those places indicate that Army Personnel and its mainly foreign personnel who use this up are running in repeated cycles its better than if you look at it in detail you can even see the layout of the secret bases because of the way they move around there now thats a bit about how mistaken spirity the air is this is a good one for conspiracy theories showing how incompetent the Largest Military force on earth is or the other hand they deliberately want to leak because they actually put their faces somewhere else youre a conspiracy theorist about conspiracy theories or whatever the case the u. S. Military has hes been killing more so under obama than from thousands of people using drones women dying because of drones it was great to see women casualties of u. S. Was brought up at the grammys on sunday night well lets actually they were there now theyve brought up at all more about sexual things go to billboard it be that ironic there are billboard reports what really happened grammys organizers addressed the representation of women lords live now lord isnt a day a t. Lot is a famous new zealand singer and she was the only female in her category to be nominated because the men were better so were going to get a lot of letters about that this is not the real story here is it lord unlike some of the other people who actually won and i think canceled her concert in tel aviv as part of the seemingly as part of the medias movement do you think hopelessly pro israel grammys would ever countenance hearing the lord your being a conspiracy theorist i wouldnt say the evidence is necessarily there for that its like two stories and one here you are right she has canceled performances and its obvious that shes done it due to pressure with. Other. Groups but to conflate the two maybe its true but then why are ninety one percent of the knowledge a. Friendly male and not that so there are two questions you heard any the lyrics of these rap songs by Kendrick Lamar and youre obviously much more bruno mars im not going to like comics i can actually see. Actually on this show but he certainly has an interesting view of women anyway spain is obviously still imprisoning its elected politicians typical your good g. D. P. Figures though and Philip Hammond always says how brilliant the economy is going regardless of all those bricks and not since some people refuse to take part in the brilliant british economy but one council tory council has a solution thats a big stretch of a link there are some but we got there in the end theres one parks or squat box i think thats all. Right tory Council Solution the town center rough sleepers its really in a beautiful idea they dont like the fact that rough sleepers the homeless are sleeping on park benches so what do they do numbers of whom have risen exponentially under tourism may not exponentially is technically wrong but it is a direct call dog really going to say youre getting closer what theyve done is instead of having a straight bench you can lie on the putting something into a little piece of metal so its hard to sleep electrified not yet but i think you could probably sneak in behind it could stop you from falling off the bench so it might not be completely effective but what a wonderful thing to do to stop the run a civilized country well this way they can hide the homeless from the gentle eyes or of the local population i think is probably not the simplest solution either because frankly jeremy corwins had found a position for them thats a crazy idea that was so much more expensive than doing this though there were a big thank you. Well for the first time in the longest war in u. S. History arguably also british history the pentagon has restricted data on the talibans. Isnt in afghanistan while donald trump u. Turns in favor of us deep state trooper escalation and drone attacks on a country where near daily terror attacks kill and in just a million Hospitals Hotels and charities should nato be looking to china for peace in afghanistan joining me now is dr Lucy Morgan Edwards she was political advisor to the ambassador in kabul during her seven years in afghanistan she worked with International Crisis group on the u. N. In kandahar during the taliban rule shes also the author of the afghan solution the inside story of the cia and how western who bristly lost afghanistan is he thanks so much for going back on the show in person so how many former president of afghanistan actually told this show that he was convinced of u. S. Government collusion the de facto collusion with the u. S. Military helicopters in jalalabad and islam is isis day is the u. S. Or u. K. Now implicated in the present spate of carnage this is what former u. S. Intelligence agents Philip Giraldi and Robert David Steele are saying theyre saying the u. S. Is actually armed trained and financed isis and ive heard similar similar stories from jalalabad about that the u. S. Is now to put in operation phoenix which is what they were doing in vietnam which is sort of kill lists and going into villages and and killing killing large groups of people and one of my interlocutors in jalalabad said well its very clear where the bases are taliban bases they have flags flying above them why doesnt the u. S. Just go in and take out the bases and instead theyre going in and taking out villages who have got nothing to do with this so its quite bizarre whats going on bizarre or or or Something Else i mean donald trump some would say and hes been giving is a state of the union about twenty four hours partly elected because he was going to signal a change in policy away from the Hillary Clintons and Barack Obamas a halt and then he u. Turns and decides what do you think of the sudden you turn on afghanistan by me in his campaign he was always quite. To the military and fairly skeptical about the intelligence side of things so it wasnt very surprising when last september he announced that he was going to subcontract more power to the military to oversee operations without oversight from washington and he was essentially going to escalate and increase troop numbers under him of course weve had this mother of all bombs that was set off last april in the east of afghanistan as well so it seems as though there yes much less control of course in these mass casualty events in which a sort of iraq style horrific events with hundreds of people being killed and that calls into question. Whats going on you know we were told this was a war about democracy and womens rights and to get rid of the taliban because they were responsible for nine eleven but i think dr abdullah called this a state sponsored event always is that theres a state Intelligence Agency involved in the latest bomb attack in kabul which she also called a walking lines well does he mean pakistan does he mean saudi arabia i mean some some of these former u. S. Cia chaps are saying actually this is this is israeli and saudi sponsored terrorism funded by the United States so the question is is this really about the taliban or is this about something much larger and more geo strategic because its going to be really difficult to get evidence for any of those three governments but then we had all drum saying we will not negotiate with the taliban the war with the taliban will be won on the battlefield as someone who lived. Around the taliban for years what do you make of daughter im playing with but i think its a huge distraction and really the taliban i mean how much space to they control essentially i think whats going on in afghanistan is a huge looting exercised by nato its all about the deep state its all about off the books revenue is about the drugs trade its about. Very good the Tech Industry in california and lithium apparently its all about strategic control in the region and youve got china with with the new so were going to work because i mean people have been saying that theres been visibly more evidence of Chinese Investment how long is huge and bring a measure that resumes over there right there how are they going to just sit back and watch all their investments go up in flames well i think you know you have to also see who is benefiting from these mass casualty event i mean essentially what it means is that kabul is going to be emptied of westerners theres not going to be anyone there to to witness what is on folding in afghanistan its also going to mean its very difficult for afghanistan to integrate into this new silk road project and the idea that Economic Development can bring peace so really i think when asked we have to see it differently and try to see who is benefiting also the military Industrial Complex of course benefiting this idea that we go in there to train the afghan army and then sell weapons to them at the same time. We need to start looking at this in a very different way rather than the sort of manichean black and white taliban and democracy and womens rights angle amidst all of this it is to be expected that the congressionally mandated information from the u. S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction should suddenly stop for the first time withholding information about what is going on in afghanistan to the us public cigar is quite quite bizarre i mean they they have been the only sort of element of oversight that were getting on the the huge amount of money thats been spent on Infrastructure Projects that never seem to appear so its very bizarre that the americans are classifying this information and classified information on. Socalled taliban takeover of provinces and Police Killed an american soldiers killed but of course were already theres so many private contractors involved now that we dont have that information anyway on who has been killed and whos been injured of foreign troops and of course the afghans very Little Information about. About who is dying and whos on a kill list and whos really a terrorist and whos a civilian its getting increasingly murky for you as i was i said i was going to return to the drug question i want off the back of what you just said read reply anything like cointelpro but i what is the effect for heroin distribution on he used streets on british streets of the new us policy or the new new old us pretty well i mean ive just spent three years living in new york and apparently the effect of all of this is huge in new england and yet its not being reported by the Mainstream Media i was driving through vermont talked to kind of a year ago and the local newspaper was talking about the problem in the village with a number of syringes on the main street but you dont see this in the Mainstream Media as being a huge problem Young Americans and people here dying of use from the use of opiates and huge problems i see with that if you will get edwards thank you thats it for the show will be back on saturday just reviewed todays u. K. Prime ministers questions it isnt resume though with the bad because hes in china they want you the media might have expected a replacement today theyre being taken we small Boris Johnson you can keep in contact with us by social media well see you on saturday eighty eight years to the day of the founding of the Vietnamese Communist Party of british.

Seen years ago i traveled across the United States exploring americas deadly love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better luck with that iron i think they are inheriting when i buy my baby this is my book was published in the year two thousand more than hoffa million americans have been killed by far in the us i had a thought to me as i did this this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in a real scenario so it was interesting to see who actually got hit. And i just saw i did to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who id met and photographed those years who god i dont know this but we are not.
