Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Hain

Why is it so difficult to reform Parliaments? In this episode, we talk to Greg Power, author of Inside the Political Mind: The Human Side of Politics and How it Shapes Development. Drawing on his experience as a special advisor to Commons Leaders Robin Cook and Peter Hain, as well as his work with parliaments worldwide, Greg explains how institutional culture, political incentives, and the personal interests of MPs often derail reform efforts.With fascinating examples - from MPs in Ghana dealing with snakes in toilets to Bangladeshi politicians setting up credit unions - Greg reveals how parliamentarians navigate their roles and why constituency work, though vital, is often disconnected from policy-making. He argues that MPs' casework could be an invaluable early-warning system for governments - if only there were a way to systematically harness it. Greg also discusses how new MPs are like learner drivers - thrown into Westminster without a clear guide on how things really work. With over 50% of MPs in the current Parliament being newly elected, many are still figuring out the informal norms and unwritten rules that govern the institution. While this level of turnover presents challenges, it also offers a rare opportunity to reshape how Parliament functions - if only those in power are willing to seize it. The conversation also touches on populism and how public expectations are often at their highest when institutions are at their weakest. History shows that populist movements thrive when traditional systems fail to deliver, but once in power, they often struggle to govern effectively. Whether in Bangladesh, the USA or the UK, the lesson is clear: ignoring democratic structures in favour of quick fixes is a recipe for long-term instability.___

Peter Hain was, along with his family, forced to flee South Africa in the late 1960s, at the height of the Apartheid regime's war against its opponents. From exile in London Peter was a pivotal member of the anti Apartheid movement in the 60s, 70s and 80s. In this interview before the publication of his third novel, the Lion Conspiracy, we talk about conservation and the international corruption that fuels poaching across Africa, and the valiant attempts by African rangers to preserve wildlife. We also explore the state of South Africa three decades after the transition to a multiracial democracy and the reasons for a decline in the popularity of the ANC following the corruption of former prime minister Jacob Zuma. A former member of Tony Blair's government and now a member of the House of Lords, Peter has fascinating insights on the nature of the struggle against apartheid and the reasons for the fall of the Pretoria regime.You can grab a copy of the Lion Conspiracy here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

Iain Dale interviews Labour peer and former MP Lord Hain about his time helping negotiate peace in Northern Ireland, the art of writing a good biography, and his latest thriller novel THE LION CONSPIRACY, which focuses on the real life corruption surrounding lion poaching in South Africa.

Nelson Mandela was the most iconic figure in South African history because of his heroic struggle against apartheid and racism, but he wouldn't have done what he had done if not for the brave leaders who also took the stand against the oppressive establishment in their own ways. Decades before being a Lord in the UK Parliament, Peter Hain was one of those people. A young man at that time, Lord Hain started simply by opposing the all-White South African cricket team. You wouldn't believe just how significant that was unless you heard the whole story. So much has his impact been that he was considered Public Enemy No. 1 by the ruling apartheid government. Decades later, Lord Hain has a powerful message to all world leaders and every one of us who's aspiring for real change in the world. Stay tuned and learn what he has to say!Love the show?

Former anti-apartheid activist and British Labour Lord Peter Hain says that peace talks are the only way forward in the war between Hamas and Israel. Last week, South Africa launched a case with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, alleging that Israel's military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide. In the 84-page suit, South Africa details evidence of brutality being perpetrated in Gaza and asks the Court which resolves interstate disputes, to urgently declare that Israel has breached its responsibilities under international law since the 7th of October last year. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Lord Peter Hain.

Historian Duncan Stone chats with host Mayank about this recent book - Different Class: The Untold Story of English Cricket. This book was shortlisted for the Cricket Writers Club 'Book of the Year' 2022 and the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards 'Cricket Book of the Year' 2023.“A modern-day John Arlott: uncomfortable but indispensable reading for those who love cricket but may so far have avoided Duncan Stone's vital home truths about the game.” - Peter Hain, former chairman of the Stop the Seventy Tour campaign and Labour Peer"In this fascinating journey through history, Duncan Stone goes back to the working-class roots of the game, lifts the lid on the myths that cricket lives by, and explains why it's impossible not to love it." - Tony Collins, author of Rugby League: A People's History"A warm, accessible but thorough-going account of how cricket and class are intertwined in England. Full of personal wit and charm but also rigor and drive." - Stuart Maconie"At a time when the ECB seems intent on killing Test cricket, by commodifying it in search of quick profits, this book is a gentle reminder of the true ethos and variable pace of the game, etched in the memories of all who have played it at village or club level." - Guy Standing, author of The Precariat: The True Dangerous Class"Different Class is in that special category of books — not just lucid and cogent but necessary and invaluable." - Gideon Haigh, author of The Cricket War: The Inside Story of Kerry Packer's World Series CricketDuncan Stone is a historian long interested in the social and cultural machinations of sport, the concept and application of amateurism and who, exactly, gets to define the form, function and meaning of sport. He has worked as a forensic photographer, DJ and club promoter, builder, local government officer and lecturer at the University of Huddersfield and was previously a visiting researcher at Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia.LinkDifferent Class: The Untold Story of English Cricket: Stone, Duncan: 9781913462802: Amazon.com: Books---------------Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/prigida/moonshineLicense code: JUXBBIJITP4USCDL

Many eccentric geniuses have written about cricket, and indeed played it. Few have been as eccentric as Major Rowland Bowen – or had his genius. In 1970, after years of dedicated research (not all his own) he published Cricket: A History of its growth and development throughout the world. Long out of print, it is still unmatched in its global sweep, its presentation of arcane facts, and its insurrectionary daring (which delighted C L R James) in overturning almost sacred cricketing myths. It riled the cricketing Establishment of its day, especially those seeking to defend white supremacy.Russell Jackson is an award-winning Australian author and journalist. He became fascinated by Bowen and his contribution to cricket history. He has now inherited from the late Murray Hedgecock the daunting task of reviving Bowen's work and making sense of his extraordinary life, as he explains to Peter Oborne and Richard Heller as the guest on their latest cricket-themed podcast.Russell speculates about the motives behind Bowen's very personal and cantankerous crusade for the truth in cricket history. His career had echoes of John Le Carré: he was the son of a disgraced solicitor and served in Intelligence. In spite of family financial problems he attended Westminster School in the 1920s and was noted early as a cricket obsessive although not noted as a player. At seventeen, he became a member of the MCC (thanks to an influential proposer. Already a natural contrarian, he read cricket literature copiously and decided that almost all of it needed challenge and correction by himself.His actual trigger was Roy Webber, the leading scorer, who was the authority for a wrong fact on a quiz show. It inspired a lifetime's war for his view of the truth in cricket. To achieve an outlet for this, he eventually founded his own subscription-only journal Cricket Quarterly in 1963. He had a habit of quarrelling violently with subscribers, striking them off, and rejecting new ones for fear that they were the old ones trying to sneak up on him under assumed names. This business model is not normally recommended to publishers, but CQ survived for 32 issues until 1971 and produced a highly influential corpus of work as the basis for his history. With its book it deserves a full re-issue.The undismissed subscribers formed a global network of amateur cricket historians and statisticians. Bowen was astute enough to enlist them as volunteer contributors of obscure local materials which he needed. Peter Hain was among them, and submitted to a volley of demands. He said that his only supporters for stopping the apartheid tour of 1970 in the world of cricket were John Arlott, David Sheppard – and Bowen.Russell suggests that Bowen's central mission was to correct the established Anglocentric history of cricket with its almost exclusive focus on first-class matches. He stressed especially the long success of American cricket and the impact of its exclusion from the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1911.Financial pressures drove Bowen into the army. He served first in India and then in Intelligence in London in the 1950s as a map and topographical analyst. His main achievement was to be the first to detect the Soviet missiles which provoked the Cuban crisis of 1962.Continue reading here: https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/episode-115-the-weird-genius-who-revolutionized-cricket-history/Get in touch with us by emailing obornehellercricket@outlook.com, we would love to hear from you!

South African-born Peter Hain, a former UK cabinet minister and now member of the House of Lords, is upping the pressure on global consultancy Bain & Co. A mountain of evidence presented to South Africa's Zondo Commission into State Capture paints Bain as a major facilitator of looting. Lord Hain is petitioning leaders of the UK and USA to act decisively against the US consultancy, including terminating contracts with the Boston-headquartered firm. In this podcast he talks to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

South Africa was placed on the UK's red list in December - a status which has been severely destructive to the South African economy. South Africa's UK red list placement requires tourists from the UK to quarantine for ten days at their own expense in government-selected hotels when they return. The exorbitant costs related to this quarantine requirement effectively halts the income that the country receives by virtue of travel between South Africa and the UK. According to a study conducted by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the restrictions imposed by way of the dreaded red list could lead to losses that equate to more than R26m every single day. In mid-September, the UK revised its red list. South Africa was not one of the eight countries that were removed - despite the fact that three of those countries (Sri Lanka, Maldives and Turkey) have higher and rising rates of infection in comparison to South Africa. South African anti-apartheid activist Lord Peter Hain spoke to BizNews founder Alec Hogg about the nonsensical nature of our country's continued red list placement, a status which he believes 'has no justification in science.' Hain wrote a letter to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to protest against the UK government's failure to remove South Africa from the red list. Hain raises several excellent points in the letter - all of which highlight that the country's continued red list status is both unjustified and illogical.

Boris Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron must accept part of the responsibility for the continuing “gridlock” of politics in Northern Ireland, through their failure to engage in the political process here, argues former Labour secretary of state Peter Hain. He also allocates blame to Conservative secretaries of state, with the exception of Julian Smith. Hain says that prime ministers must recognise that their role includes strong engagement with the Northern Ireland parties, in order to keep political progress on track. “You have to be hands-on,” he says of the PMs and secretaries of state. “I think David Cameron and his successors made a basic error in thinking that the job was done when they took office in 2010. And he did not - nor did Theresa May and certainly not Boris Johnson - have the constant focus that Northern Ireland needs, building relationships with all the key political leaders and others, and being there – not on a fly in, fly out basis, or the odd Zoom call for half an hour here and there – but actually constantly engaged.” He adds that the “unravelling of Stormont” and the crisis over the Northern Ireland Protocol have been the “result” of what he terms the “neglect” by those prime ministers and their secretaries of state. He adds that the UK government must act as the “honest broker” when it comes to Northern Ireland, “but that hasn't been the case” because of the Conservatives' relationship with unionism, especially the DUP. “The government aligned itself with one side of the divide,” he continues. Hain is equally critical of the DUP, and especially the leadership of Arlene Foster, in not moving society and politics forward in recent years. “She didn't seem to have the ability, or self-confidence, or the leadership calibre to actually lead from the front, and not always do her party's bidding in a kind of lapdog fashion.” He adds that Northern Ireland's politics require leaders who will “lead from the front”, and believes that Jeffrey Donaldson may have that skill and capacity. Hain hopes that Jeffrey Donaldson will prove to be a leader who can take the political process forward, rather than backwards. He calls on the DUP to see Sinn Fein as partners in government, “rather than the devil incarnate”. It is possible to work together, without the two parties liking each other, he stresses. “Northern Ireland's political leaders have to decide if they are focused on the future, or trapped by the past,” says Hain. In the interview he also discusses how to make cross-party progress on the reform of the health and education systems, and the role of citizens' assemblies in creating a strong voice for civic society in Northern Ireland. This is the 18th and final episode in the third series of Holywell Trust Forward Together podcasts. This follows interviews with the leaders of the five political parties in government in Northern Ireland; Simon Hoare MP, who is chair of the House of Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee; and sector experts, who have assessed the need for reform of our public services.

Anti-apartheid activist Lord Peter Hain lambasts the efforts of authorities all over the globe, outlining that there are many institutions that helped facilitate the widespread corruption and money laundering during the Gupta's years of power.

The Gupta family are reported to be living in Dubai or India and of recent, the South Africa authorities have asked the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) to assist with the arrest of the Gupta brothers and their wives.

Anti-apartheid activist Lord Peter Hain lambasts the efforts of authorities all over the globe, outlining that there are many institutions that helped facilitate the widespread corruption and money laundering during the Gupta's years of power. He deems these institutions as responsible for aiding and abetting wholesale corruption. The Gupta family are reported to be living in Dubai or India and of recent, the South Africa authorities have asked the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) to assist with the arrest of the Gupta brothers and their wives.

Former British Member of Parliament Lord Peter Hain has urged the UK government to take more decisive action against the Guptas and companies that aided the family in corruption and state capture. Bongani speaks to Lord Peter Hain. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was once the most hated man in cricket. He faced down threats to his career and to his life. He achieved his mission, an epoch-making change in international sport. His new book (with the great historian André Odendaal) Pitch Battles not only narrates his astonishing personal journey but sweeps up the history of South African sport and society, especially the lost stories of non-white players, and throws down major challenges for everyone today who cares about the state of global sport. Peter Hain discusses these themes and makes new revelations as the guest of Peter Oborne and Richard Heller in their latest cricket-themed podcast.Read the full episode description here: https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/episode-36-the-man-who-changed-cricket-for-ever-peter-hain/

Op sy dag was lord Peter Hain ʼn kampvegter teen apartheid en ʼn Britse kabinetsminister, en nou veg hy steeds vir geregtigheid in Suid-Afrika.

Hy verduidelik waarom hy die boek as ʼn spanningsverhaal aangepak het en glo daar is hoop in die stropingskrisis van die natuurlewe in Afrika.

“Enough was enough – I felt like I was on the wrong side” – Tiara Brown on leaving the police Unbeaten professional boxer Tiara Brown joins us following her recent decision to resign from the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington D.C. The former “DC Officer of the Year” tells us she became increasingly disheartened by some of the behaviour she witnessed from fellow officers when working at the protests that followed the death of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake. Brown believes law enforcement can’t be changed from the inside and says she’s been targeted on social media following her resignation. South Africa’s Devon Petersen tells us about his journey into darts and how he visualises winning the world championship during practise sessions ahead of next week’s PDC World Darts Championship. The crowd favourite also explains his walk on routine and laments the fact fans aren’t allowed to wear fancy dress this year. Petersen tells us in a normal year it’s not unusual to see “Santa having a pint with Smurfs”. We speak to champion bodybuilder Rene Campbell about the reality of going against societal norms, when it comes to how some people think a woman should look. Campbell suffered with an eating disorder due to her wish to be slim before she got into bodybuilding. A photograph of her is currently featured in a six-month exhibition in west London called "Womanhood." In Sporting Witness, we travel back to the winter of 1969-70, when anti-apartheid campaigners disrupted 24 matches during a tour of the British Isles by South Africa’s Springboks rugby team. The campaign forced the cancellation of a planned tour by the South African cricket team later in 1970, and then of all future visits by South African teams until the end of Apartheid. We hear from Peter Hain, who organised the protests and later became a British MP. And – the BBC’s Alistair Bruce-Ball joins us from Molineux ahead of the day’s early game in the Premier League between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa.

In the winter of 1969 to 70, anti-apartheid campaigners disrupted 24 matches during a tour of the British Isles by South Africa’s Springboks rugby team. For the first time, the activists used direct-action tactics – running onto the pitch, throwing smoke bombs and even super-gluing the locks of the South Africans’ hotel rooms. The successful campaign forced the cancellation first of a planned tour by the South African cricket team later in 1970, and then of all future visits by South African teams until the end of apartheid. Simon Watts talks to Peter Hain, who organised the protests and later became a British cabinet minister.

Despite growing up in apartheid South Africa, Peter Hain is best known for his career spanning three decades as a UK Labour Party MP. He served in the cabinets of both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and chaired the UN Security Council. His latest book, ‘The Rhino Conspiracy’, is a gripping thriller set in South Africa.

I am hooked on the Number 10 daily press conferences even though they are dull and reveal little..perhaps my addiction is explained by the gap between the eerie, subdued mood at the conferences with the epic crisis being played out..it's a darkly compelling disjunction..and on other matters the former Cabinet minister Peter Hain reflects on Labour's decline and the need for  radical Keynesian economic policies under Keir Starmer.

With Simon Walters and Amanda Platell and two Conservative MPs with very different views on the HS2 rail link: Michael Fabricant, who thinks it should be scrapped, and Andrew Mitchell, who believes Boris will be a laughing stock if he does so, plus former Labour minister Peter Hain on why Boris Johnson should be worried if Lisa Nandy becomes Labour leader

South African raised politician and former British Labour MP, Lord Peter Hain has told the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture in Johannesburg that international companies have assisted individuals to loot billions of rands from South Africa. Hain, a former anti-apartheid activist, has been at the helm of having international companies - alleged to be involved in state capture - investigated by international governments including Britain. Hain is testifying at the inquiry on how he believes alleged corrupt individuals moved money from the country. He says international banks have been heavily involved

MultimediaLIVE — International banks were "complicit" in helping the state capture project by the Gupta family. And they cannot claim ignorance of their role in enabling state capture under former president Jacob Zuma. This is according to Lord Peter Hain who on Monday testified at the commission of inquiry into state capture at Parktown in Johannesburg. Sunday Times politics reporter, Amil Umraw, tell us exactly what we need to know about the outcome of the day's testimony.

Perry first met Peter Hain 17 years ago when he started doing coaching and self-development work with him in the early stages of Peter's career as an engineer. Peter, now senior management and responsible for business development for one of Australia's largest engineering firms, strongly believes that the unconscious habits he disrupted early on, and the self-awareness skills he's continued to develop, have played a massive and very positive part in his business and personal success.   In this week's episode you'll discover… The skills you need to develop if you want to have a big impact in business or your life. What it is that REALLY stresses you out, and how you can overcome it.  Why self-awareness and self-development play such a key role in your business success.  And much much more…

The BBC’s Radio Four is known among the British as the nation’s cerebral option. This well deserved reputation comes from decades of delivering consistently high quality content. What follows is an excellent example of this high standard. Since 2013, historian Peter Hennessy has picked four of his country’s highest profile politicians for in-depth interviews that explore their formative influences, experiences and impressions of people they had known. The final interview of the Seventh Series’ of Reflections with Peter Hennessy featured South African-raised anti-apartheid icon Lord Peter Hain. Aired last month, the interview provides unique insights into Hain, whose family were ejected from their homeland because of their political activism. Although best known for leading the sports boycott against white South Africa, Hain also became British MP for 24 years, served in the cabinets of two Prime Ministers and was knighted after his retirement in 2015. The peerage opened the door for Hain’s participation in the House of Lords, where his contribution to his former homeland has been immense through exposing the Guptas, Bell Pottinger and multinational companies which participated in the pillage of State Capture.   Here, with kind permission of the BBC, are the two Peters – Hennessy and Hain……

Peter Hain served in successive Labour governments under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, was Leader of the House of Commons and Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and he’s now a member of the House of Lords.

South African-raised British peer Lord Peter Hain is applying pressure on the Westminster Government to stop doing business with global consultancy firm Bain & Co over its misbehaviour in South Africa. The commission of inquiry into the near collapse of SA Revenue Services concluded that there was a "premeditated offensive against SARS by Bain for former commissioner Tom Moyane to seize SARS." The Nugent Commission's final report says Bain executives "trained" Moyane, meeting with him on numerous occasions in the year before his appointment. Bain officials also met at least ten times with then president Jacob Zuma. The Nugent commission concluded that this was to advance a plan to de-fang SARS, and stop its investigations into Zuma associates. Peter Hain tabled questions about Bain in the House of Lords - we caught up with him for Rational Radio. - Alec Hogg

It’s always special to visit with Peter Hain, the anti-apartheid icon who had a highly successful half century in British politics. Last time I watched him deliver a killer speech in the House of Lords which smashed any hopes the Guptas had of slinking away into the shadows. This time he hosted me in Royal Gallery, a grand room through which Elizabeth the Second passes en route to her official throne where she delivers the annual Queen’s Speech, the official opening of the British Parliament. Peter Hain, the boy from Pretoria, still can’t quite believe he’s a fully-fledged member of the historic House of Lords… Our conversation soon moved across Peter Hain’s superb book on his friend, South African leadership icon Nelson Mandela. I loved this punchy, well-written 196 pages on the man who changed his nation’s destiny. But with a veritable library of books on Madiba already available, I asked why Hain believed another was necessary, sparking a fascinating discourse on the concept of how best each of us can make a contribution to the society we serve.

I’ve found that travelling South Africans tend to speak more openly. Perhaps it’s a function of being away from home. Whatever the cause, it certainly adds an element of freshness to my interviews here in London. But forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan falls outside that generality. Whether we’ve been together in his Johannesburg office, a hotel near Heathrow Airport, or, as here, a pub in Central London, he’s consistent: speaking from the heart, sharing what he knows, holding little back. South Africa’s most famous private sector crime fighter is in London this week to support his friend Lord Peter Hain, who arranged a series of events to celebrate the centenary of Nelson Mandela’s birth. We met last night ahead of a well-attended DA Abroad event. As you’ll hear, the discussion quickly moves onto matters close to the corruption busting O’Sullivan’s heart – like last week’s apology from McKinsey and why he and Hain are determined to force the global legal firm Hogan Lovells to break cover and admit its role in South Africa’s State Capture saga. Fascinating as ever…

On this episode, I speak with William Morris, Secretary General of the Next Century Foundation, about the role of the UN in global humanitarian crises, the Syrian civil war, and the broader situation in the Middle East. Bio: William Morris is Secretary General of the Next Century Foundation, as well as being a broadcaster. He has worked as a farmer, miner and publisher, and for the past 20 years has worked extensively within the area of conflict resolution, principally in the Middle East. William was awarded an honorary doctorate in law by the Earl of St Andrews, Chancellor of the University of Bolton, in 2017 for his services to peace. As a student, William travelled extensively in the Middle East with his father, a Cornish journalist with a strong interest in the region. As a direct result of this unique experience, in 1991 William was invited to be special advisor to the deputy Prime Minister of the Sultanate of Oman and set up a publishing and printing unit at Sultan Qaboos University. In 1996 William returned to his home in the West Country with his family. Shortly after his return to Cornwall he was appointed Secretary General of The Next Century Foundation, an organization whose founders included the Lord Weinstock and Andrew Cavendish, the 11th Duke of Devonshire. The then-Crown Prince, now Emir, of Qatar was also particularly supportive. In this role, at the behest of Derek Fatchett MP (then-Minister at the Foreign Office), William Morris produced an important report on Kashmir in consultation with the Mirpuri community in Britain. In October 2000, he helped set up a war avoidance team to carry messages between the then-Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr Peter Hain, and Iraqi Minister Mr Tariq Aziz. In May 2003, William was appointed Chairman of the International Media Council (now a part of the International Council for Press and Broadcasting) based in London. In this capacity he has led press delegations to Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Egypt and Syria. The goal of the Media Council is to counter xenophobia and disinformation in the press of the Middle East and the West. William is a trustee of Sanghata Global, a charity for transformational change that designs and implements breakthrough conceptual models focused on serving humanity. He is also a core member of the personal development charity, Initiatives of Change.

On December 18th when 4 700 delegates from South Africa’s ruling African National Congress voted for a progressive and economics savvy president, they triggered the unravelling of what had become a criminal state. Among the leaders of this flotilla of activists which achieved this unlikely victory are South African-raised British politician Lord Peter Hain; and Irish-raised forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan. They got together in London this week to share notes on their latest crusade – a concerted attack on global law firm Hogan Lovells. The say that just like accountants KPMG, management consultants McKinsey and software multinational SAP, the law firm is deeply implicated in the network of institutionalised corruption, popularly referred to as state capture. Since the new president Cyril Ramaphosa’s appointment in January, the pressure has been cranked up on those implicated in the industrial scale pillaging of at least R100bn worth of South African publicly owned assets.

Renowned anti-Apartheid activist, Lord Peter Hain…

Renowned anti-Apartheid activist, Lord Peter Hain, drove a very deep nail into the Zupta coffin in the UK's House of Lords on Wednesday. In a speech that was televised live, Hain said he has handed over a "smoking gun" to the UK Treasury - documents revealing details of money laundered by the Guptas from South Africa through the UK into Hong Kong and Dubai. This evidence, which also contains full details of the beneficiary bank accounts and how the money was sloshed around to disguise its origin, breaks the investigation wide open, giving the authorities an open and shut case of money laundering. Hain also says that according to his information, these transactions channelled were flagged by staffers at the UK bank used to launder the dirty money. He did not name the bank today, but from his previous disclosures, it is obvious that he is referring to HSBC. Hain says the bank's staffers were told by executives higher up the chain not to report the transactions - an action which the Lord says makes them criminally complicit. With the FBI in hot pursuit, and the UAE Central Bank closely eyeing the Guptas, this latest revelation from Hain closes the loop for the authorities - pointing them towards the evidence that will very likely retrieve billions of rands back into South Africa and put the corrupt crony capitalists - and their accomplices - behind bars for a long, long time. - Alec Hogg

Henley Intelligence — During this interesting address, Lord Peter Hain, talks directly and candidly about state capture, corruption, collusion, and cronyism, having devoted a great deal of his career to defeating it, much like he did as a key player in the downfall of Bell Pottinger. Lord Hain is a former Leader of the British House of Commons, author of 21 books, politician and activist, having also served in the governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown for twelve years. As Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, he negotiated an end to the conflict, and as a staunch anti-apartheid leader, Peter was instrumental in stopping all-white South African sports tours from 1969 onwards.

The New Elizabethans: Basil d'Oliveira. To mark the Diamond Jubilee, James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the men and women who have given the second Elizabethan age its character. James Naughtie remembers the South African cricketer who became a British citizen. The D'Oliveira affair was a landmark in the South African story. Peter Hain, a young South African still in his twenties who was then leading protests against apartheid, said afterwards that Nelson Mandela - in prison on Robben Island at the time - told him later that the episode (South Africa's refusal to welcome an English Test cricket team that included a non-white player) was "decisive" in the fight against apartheid. The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of London's Royal Opera House. The panellists were Dominic Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne, Sally Alexander, Jonathan Agar, Maria Misra and Sir Max Hastings. They were asked to choose: "Men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and/or given the age its character, for better or worse." Producer: Sukey Firth.
