Podcasts about Chilcot

Speaking to Palestinian Deep Dive's Ahmed Alnaouq, Corbyn says, “I want to know and I really do want to know who in the British government authorised the overflying of Gaza? Who in the British government authorised the delivery of weapons? Who in the British government knowingly provided weapons to a country that has been arraigned before the ICJ and the ICC?” __________________ Please support our work by donating as little as £1 per month: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support __________________ To obtain answers to these questions, the former UK Labour Party leader is demanding a “Chilcot-style” inquiry into the British government's participation in the Gaza genocide. The Chilcot Report, officially titled the Iraq Inquiry, was an independent public inquiry into the UK's involvement in the 2003 Iraq War, chaired by Sir John Chilcot. The Report exposed intelligence failures, lack of planning and questioned the legal basis for the war. Corbyn said he remains “constantly astonished” by the attitude of successive UK governments, which continue to enable Israel's assaults on Gaza, an onslaught he describes as “a Second World War-Style carpet bombing.” However if the government refuses such an inquiry, Corbyn says he will not be deterred from continuing to demand one by billing further parliamentary debates. He also says an alternative would be a public inquiry inspired by the Russell Tribunal on the Vietnam War, “so we will have an open process with expert opinions, witnesses and evidence.” Corbyn urged people everywhere to keep up the pressure on their governments to stop the genocide in Gaza.  He emphasised the need to use every available avenue— street protests, raising awareness and protesting against Elbit Systems weapons factories in the UK in particular— to demand justice and accountability. __________________ Please support our work by donating as little as £1 per month: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support __________________

Iraq Body Count is a website that has maintained the most thorough list of civilian casualties from the Iraq War. According to Jonathan Steele, writing in The Guardian, IBC "is widely considered as the most reliable database of Iraqi civilian deaths.” It has been featured in the Chilcot report, and other official government websites. But, there is much to the war that most people don't know about:* The US began softening-up strikes in 2002, well before the official entry into the war. * A chilling story of how the US attacked a hospital in 2004 for reporting Morgue Deaths* The Al-Jazeera bombings and the US bombing of a Reuter's desk in Baghdad* Within the first few weeks, they had recorded over 7,500 civilian deaths with more devastation comingViolence as Communication - FallujahPerhaps no city has been hit as hard as Fallujah, Iraq. After the shock and awe campaign that led to the capture of Baghdad, the city of Fallujah had already established its own local government and security forces. There was no need for US forces to be there because they had not met with resistance at all. But, on April 23, 2003, the 82nd Airborne Division occupied the city. As a result, on April 28 2003, children and parents were marching in protests towards a school. US troops indiscriminately shot them. With that memory still present in amongst the people of Fallujah, on March 31, 2004, four Blackwater mercenaries were killed on a bridge with their bodies mutilated in brutal way. Unfortunately, most of the western media chose to portray them as innocent victims, instead victims of revenge. The US authorities took this as a challenge to their dominance. Then in late 2004, they began a campaign to conquer Fallujah which was filled with unbelievable atrocities. According to the Boston Globe:Under the plans, troops would funnel Fallujans to so-called citizen processing centers on the outskirts of the city to compile a database of their identities through DNA testing and retina scans. Residents would receive badges displaying their home addresses that they must wear at all times. Buses would ferry them into the city, where cars, the deadliest tool of suicide bombers, would be banned.As well as being conscripted for forced labor:One idea that has stirred debate among Marine officers would require all men to work, for pay, in military-style battalions. Depending on their skills, they would be assigned jobs in construction, waterworks, or rubble-clearing platoonLater on, white phosphorous would be used in Fallujah. In part 1 of our series, we discuss the Iraq war, the implications of the casualties and also we try to form a memorial for the people who lost their lives.

Officer Jonathan Chilcot

Journalism has been called 'the first draft of history', and as a first draft it may be written over, forgotten, ignored.  In this podcast, journalist Martin Bright (@martinbright) considers one tiny strand of the story of the Iraq war. It illustrates truth and fake news, things that are very much on our minds at the moment.  It is taken from a lecture Martin gave for IF, the free university in London, in its series 'Thinking Without Borders'  in 2017. Martin Bright:  Let's begin with the rules of journalism - never befriend a politician, never befriend a PR, never betray a source and never use PowerPoint (though that one I am ignoring....) I'm going to look at one story that plays its part in the history of the lead up to the Iraq war which you may or may not have heard about. It is a story in which I as a journalist felt I was writing the first draft of history. It's a story I wrote while working on The Observer [a UK Sunday newspaper] in early 2003. It is a story left out of the reports on the Iraq war (it was not in either the Chilcot or the Hutton reports).  It is just a footnote in history, maybe less than a footnote. It is the story of Katharine Gun, who,in 2003, was working at GCHQ. GCHQ is the third arm of British Intelligence - there is MI6 (foreign intelligence), MI5 (domestic intelligence) and GCHQ (surveillance). Katharine was born in Taiwan, is a fluent Mandarin speaker, and she spent her days at GCHQ listening to China and deciding what was interesting - Chinese broadcasts, bugged conversations etc.  She enjoyed her job, she considered herself a patriot, she didn't see anything wrong with spying, she felt she was working in the British national interest, for the good of the country. But she became increasingly concerned about the build up to war in Iraq, she was sceptical, she didn't think the British intelligence service should be used to further the war aim of the Government. One day she was working, translating, when she received a memo from the National Security Agency (NSA) in the US.  Subsequently, the NSA and GCHQ have become much more high profile institutions since the Edward Snowden leaks (we know a lot more about what they can tap into) but there has always been a close relationship between the two agencies. In January 2003, we were being told that war was not a forgone conclusion, there were still negotiations going on in the UN and Tony Blair and George Bush were saing that should Saddam Hussein give up his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) there would be no need to go to war.  But it was a period of high tension. There were inspectors in Iraq looking for WMD and having difficulty finding them. Such was the tension within GCHQ itself that on 24 January 2003, a memo was sent to all GCHQ staff reassuring them that they would not be asked to do anything unlawful (which is interesting in itself since you might expect that to be the case anyway!). At the same time what is happening in the US is a continuing hardening up of the documents being fed to the US government as to what is going on in Iraq and the weapons Saddam is supposed to have.  Then, rather inconveniently, on 27 January 2003, Hans Blix (one of the main weapons inspectors) and his team state that Iraq has no nuclear capacity and has been cooperative.  The French Foreign Minister, Dominique de Villepin, states that France won't go to war while inspections continue.  So it is getting tricky for those who want to go to war.  We also know that there will be a presentation to the UN by Colin Powell to argue that Iraq is in breach of its international commitments. And while all this is happening, this memo from Frank Koza arrives in Katharine Gun's inbox, just after midnight on January 31st: To: [Recipients withheld] From: FRANK KOZA, Def Chief of Staff (Regional Targets) CIV/NSA Sent on Jan 31 2003 0:16 Subject: Reflections of Iraq Debate/Votes at UN-RT Actions + Potential for Related Contributions

Are public enquiries good government? At the end of a year where we have seen the Hillsborough and Chilcot reports are these the best way of calling to account? Margaret Hodge and Bronwen Maddox join Anne McElvoy to discuss. Plus, Matthew Parris considers the concept of scorn and those who are best at pouring it. Matthew Parris has written an updated version of Scorn: The Wittiest and Wickedest Insults in Human History Margaret Hodge has written Called To Account: How Corporate Bad Behaviour and Government Waste Combine to Cost Us Millions. Bronwen Maddox is Director of the Institute for Government Producer: Craig Smith.

The UK launch of the first-ever set of international standards for recording casualties for use in the field and as a resource for conflict analysts (published 23 November 2016). These Standards have been developed by UK-based NGO Every Casualty over a three-year period with the intensive involvement of casualty recording organisations around the world, and of major end users such as the ICC, UNOCHA, and ICRC. The publication of these standards is particularly timely in light of the Chilcot Report into the Iraq War which highlights the failure of the UK government properly to acknowledge and account for Iraqi casualties, and calls on the UK government to make every reasonable effort to identify and to understand the likely and actual effects of its military actions on civilians. Dr Rachel Kerr from the Department of War studies interviewed Co-Directors of Every Casualty Worldwide, and Co-founders of Iraq Body Count Hamit Dardagan and John Sloboda.

He was a member of the Diplomatic Service from 1970 to 2004, serving as the British Ambassador to the Russian Federation and before that as the UK Permanent Representative to the international organisations in Geneva and as the adviser to Prime Minister John Major on foreign and defence affairs and Northern Ireland. From 2009-16 he was Deputy Chairman of Chatham House. ​ Bronwen Maddox is the new ​Director of the Institute for Government. For the previous five and a half years, she was editor and chief executive of Prospect Magazine, the UK’s leading current affairs and culture monthly title. Previously, in 14 years at the Times, she was the paper’s Chief Foreign Commentator, Foreign Editor, and US Editor and Washington Bureau Chief. She is also the author of In Defence of America. In her writing, Ms Maddox has won access to some of the most influential figures in the British government and the Obama Administrations, and in governments across Europe, the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. She also appears frequently on television and radio in the UK and US, particularly the BBC’s Today programme, Newsnight and Daily Politics. This talk was recorded at SOAS University of London, Dec 5th, 2016.

"But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy"—Downing Street Memo This week we are joined by the lawyer and university lecturer Adeyinka Makinde for the first part of a fascinating two-part interview centring in his forthcoming academic paper: "Intelligence Accountability : Can the British State Convict Itself?" Focusing on the 2003 Iraq invasion, "extraordinary renditions" and the UK's counter-insurgency strategy in the early years of the Northern Ireland "Troubles", Makinde questions the relationship between morality and "national interest" goals, and probes international and domestic law to make a case for the criminal culpability of high-ranking officials of the British state. In this first part, Adeyinka Makinde challenges the opinion held by some experts, such as Geoffrey Robertson, that Tony Blair is not eligible to be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court. Adeyinka Makinde trained for the law as a barrister. He lectures in criminal law and public law at a university in London, and has an academic research interest in intelligence & security matters. He is a contributor to a number of websites for which he has written essays and commentaries on international relations, politics and military history. He has served as a programme consultant and provided expert commentary for BBC World Service Radio, China Radio International and the Voice of Russia.

Nick, Peter and Fraser discuss mechanisms of government decision making in the wake of the Chilcot Report. http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk

This week's theme will look at the sociological institutions impacting the black community. Suppositions abound decrying the role of poverty negatively impacting the black community. This position is contrary to historical record which documents the longeivity and vitality of black families. Clearly, a philosophical view of family has occurred and the source of this perception continues to be debated today. Ostensibly, the question arises: to what extent is this decline of this "noble institution" self- inflicted? This supposition suggests the problem arises from an inabilty of black families to emulate the American way, instead adopt practices which are not only mal-adoptive but born fron indigenous practices from the mother-land. In order to better test this hypothesis, we will employ various sociological models which will address this specific notion. In addition, we will revisit the case of Sandra Bland. New information will provide clarity on the inner working of the criminal justice system and the reason why reform is relatively easy compared to actual implementation. We will also look at the intricate world of propaganda and the role the government play in utilizing propaganda on the American people.Government  operations, by statue, are intended for foreign governments. That being the case, why would the CIA operate within the borders of the U.S The depth and scope of these operations may surprise you: the level of planning intriguing and the players involved will enrage you. Also, we will look at the case of Saleh vs. George Bush. This case will look at a single Iraqi mother who is undertaking what has thus far been impossible- sue the U.S government for violation of international law and  crimes of aggression. Unlike previous attempts to bring U.S to justice, this case has the benefit of reports out of England corroborating Saleh's claims. The Chilcot report chronicles the planning of illegal war.  

The actor, Brian Cox, joins John Wilson to talk The Carer, a new comedy about a retired Shakespearean actor suffering from a form of Parkinson's disease that has left him frustrated and gloriously grumpy.John travels to Brighton to climb what is now the world's tallest moving observation tower, the British Airways i360. At the top he meets its architects, David Marks and Julia Barfield, who also created the London Eye. Comedian Bob Slayer explains why he is enlisting fellow performers and the general public to help him read the Chilcot Report, all 2.6 million words, from start to finish, at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. As we continue our series of interviews with artists working in Rio, today Kirsty Laing visits the visual artist, Ernesto Neto, at his studio where he creates crocheted sculptures inspired by nature.

This forum reflects on some of the global lessons to be learned from the Chilcot report. The report systematically and comprehensively demolishes Tony Blair and George Bush's justifications for embroiling the UK in the most disastrous war of the modern era. It also raises some fundamental questions about international criminal accountability for acts of aggression and wider questions about where the responsibility for war should lie in Westminster-style democracies. The panel includes Professor Robert Patman (Politics), Associate Professor Lisa Ellis (Philosophy) and Mr Stephen Smith (Law), chaired by Professor Kevin Clements (NCPACS). 1 August 2016

Its our first anniversary, and we'll be honest: after June we thought we'd be in for an easy month. It was just going to be a bit of rearranging of deckchairs on the Titanic, we assumed. Then the world decided that, on balance, it preferred manic craziness. So, here we are covering the rise of May, the return of Boris and the reverberations of Chilcot. We also chat about Melania Trump's repetitive speech, Russian doping and we also chat about Melania Trump's repetitive speech in our pre-summer podcast.

AL Kennedy ponders the importance of facts... in a world dominated by opinion. "The Chilcot report highlights how a war can conjure the demons it promised to suppress", she writes "because facts were dodged or massaged and fantasy outcomes were taken as certainties". While facts may be grim, "avoiding them puts us all at increased risk". Producer: Adele Armstrong.

The HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster. This week, the Chilcot report was finally published after a seven year search for the truth around why the UK went to war in Iraq. The report mainly confirmed suspicions but what it more importantly did was bring together all the strands of a long drawn-out affair that has eroded the UK's faith in politics. Is Brexit the result? Meanwhile, both the main parties continue to search for that elusive leader. #Chilcot Report #Tony Blair #Bliar #Jeremy Corbyn #conservatives #labour #Iraq War #George W. Bush

The inquiry was set up to examine our reasons for taking part in the US-led invasion of Iraq, how the war was prosecuted and its aftermath. But was the decision to go to war morally justified? Chilcot confirms that there was a massive failing in intelligence in the lead-up to the decision to go to war, especially around WMD; it accepts that Tony Blair was acting in good faith and did not deliberately mislead Parliament and the public about that intelligence. The relationship between morality and consequences is complex and sometimes contradictory. If Tony Blair and his government were acting in good faith but the consequences of that war were so catastrophic, can we still describe the decision to go to war as a moral one? If the government were a limited company, isn't this the kind of gross negligence that would lead to directors being prosecuted for corporate manslaughter? On the other hand, if - being wise after the event - we were to hound all politicians for making decisions that went wrong, wouldn't that produce sclerosis and the replacement of democratic judgement with technocracy? Is this a counsel of moral perfection that produces only paralysis of the will? When does ignorance become a moral failing? Is that contingent on outcomes? What if the war had been a success and Iraq transformed into a flourishing democracy? Would we still be worrying about whether it was moral? Would we have spent £10m on an inquiry about it? Chaired by Michael Buerk with Michael Portillo, Matthew Taylor, Giles Fraser and Melanie Phillips. Witnesses are Prof Michael Clarke, John Rentoul, Haider Al Safi and Dr Dan Bulley.

This week's Chilcot report delivered a damning verdict on Britain’s decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003. The UK's political, military and intelligence establishments were all implicated, but particular criticism was reserved for Tony Blair, the former prime minister.

Hoodwinked by a perfidious Leave campaign, or disillusioned by globalisation, it is important that political parties and activists understand what motivated Brexit voters, rather than demonising them as ignorant people or even racists. That thought arose quickly when Newsnet podcast host Derek Bateman got together with guest contributors Steven Purcell and Zara Kitson. As Derek remarks: “Politics? Bloody hell…” They have been doing a lot of thinking too about the Scottish dimension on Britain’s constitutional crisis and what the opposition parties should be saying and doing. In another thoughtful podcast – recorded just as the Chilcot inquiry was being published – Steven, Zara and Derek share opinions about Scotland’s options and what may (or may not) happen next. It is another fascinating listen in our regular series. Click on the file above or download via your usual sources (search for Newsnet.scot podcast).

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, answered questions from MPs in the House of Commons on Wednesday 6 July. This was the first PMQs after the publication of the Chilcot report.

- Kritikken av Storbritannias deltagelse i invasjonen i Irak er overraskende brutal mot Tony Blair, mener norske eksperter. - Jeg handlet i god tro, sier landets tidligere statsminister etter at 6000 sider tykke Chilcot-rapporten ble lagt fram i dag. - De små kommunene forgubbes og avfolkes; en nasjonal kommisjon må lage nye kommunegrenser, mener byforsker Erling Dokk Holm. Ordføreren i småkommunen Norddal mener folket vet best. Fem ganger så mange barn avhøres etter mistanke om vold og overgrep i Østfinnmark, som i Asker og Bærum. UNICEF er bekymret for barnas rettssikkerhet - politiet fra begge steder kommer for å svare på hvorfor forskjellen er så stor. Ikveld kan Ronaldo sparke Portugal videre i Fotball-EM; Er han en genial eller oppskrytt som fotballspiller? Gründerfeberen har tatt overhånd, mener journalist og forfatter Maria Amelie... - Vi kan ikke få for mange av dem, sier IT-næringen.

Los últimos atentados del ISIS y el informe Chilcot, que ha visto la luz 7 años después de la entrada de Reino Unido en la guerra de Irak. Con el catedrático de la UCM Rafael Calduch.

What is this strange thing called the Bilderberg Group? Is it something that we should we be concerned about? Or is it, as many people say, essentially just a "talking shop" for rich people? To put us in the picture, we welcome back to the programme Tony Gosling, investigative radio journalist and former BBC reporter. Tony, who came on TMR back in 2013 to discuss the "official" and "unofficial" histories of this infamous Group, now joins us to share his experience of covering the 64th Bilderberg Meeting, which was held recently in Dresden, Germany, between the 9th and 12th of June. We also discuss the political climate here in the UK following the EU Referendum, and the anti-Corbyn coup by the parliamentary Labour Party. (For show notes please visit http://themindrenewed.com)

Sir John Chilcot has been at the heart of some of the most important political events in recent decades - often in the background, unnoticed by most. It's only in recent years, since he was asked in 2009 to lead the inquiry into the Iraq War, that his name has come to the attention of the wider public. Now - nearly six years after he started - the Chilcot Report has yet to be published, and Sir John has come under increasing pressure from politicians, media and the families of soldiers who lost their lives. Adam Fleming profiles a private man who has had to get used to the spotlight. Producers: Keith Moore and Joe Kent.

This week's podcast was delayed for some personal reasons . We try and get some perspective on the delay of the Chilcot Report, how Scottish Labour is picking up issues and running with them and the impartiality of the Civil Service. Naturally enough, as Lesley launches her latest edition of 'Blossom' in the Empire Bingo hall, we talk bingo.

In this week's podcast: David Cameron faces trying questions on his first visit to America as UK PM, about the Lockerbie bomber Mr Megrahi and the possible involvement of BP in the lobbying for his release; Chilcot inquiry update following the former director-general of MI5, Eliza Manningham-Buller's statement on Monday that Blair ignored her advice about going to war with Iraq; aid distribution and corruption in Afghanistan; Iran and its nuclear programme, which may not be as advanced as first thought. Presented by Gideon Rachman with guests in the studio James Blitz, the FT's defence and diplomatic editor and David Blair, the FT's Middle East and Africa news editor. Helen Warrell reports on Afghan aid. Produced by LJ Filotrani See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
