Aus Wolken Trinkwasser machen, darum geht es in der neuen Folge des Weltspiegel Podcast. Es ist mal wieder soweit. Wir sind mitten drin in der ungemütlichsten Zeit des Jahres: dunkel, kalt und regnerisch. Es schüttet in diesen Tag ja wirklich aus allen Wolken. Anderswo in der Welt fehlt der Regen: den Pflanzen, den Baumen, den Tieren und natürlich dem Menschen. Ganze Regionen der Erde drohen zur Wüste zu werden. Aber es gibt tolle Menschen, die etwas dagegen tun. Unser Korrespondent in Madrid Sebastian Kisters hat dazu eine hoffnungsvolle Weltspiegel Doku gedreht, die ihn bis an den Rand der Sahara geführt hat. Dort hat Sebastian den Deutschen Peter Trautwein getroffen. Peter Trautwein ist Designer. In seinem früheren Leben hat er Tennisschläger und Skistiefel entworfen. Und jetzt hat er sich dem Wasser verschrieben. Er hat sogenannte Wolkenfänger entworfen und u.a. in Marokko installiert. Wolkenfänger sind Netze, die die Tropfen aus dem Nebel auffangen und zu fliessendem Wasser machen. Eine super Idee. Denn die Tropfen aus den Wolken haben das Leben der Menschen in den marokkanischen Dörfern, die vorher noch nie fliessendes Wasser hatten, total verändert. *********************************************************** Shownotes: Der Podcast „This is Jayda” https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/this-is-jayda/12920979/

En Algérie, Abdelmadjid Tebboune a changé de Premier ministre le 11 novembre. Nadir Larbaoui a remplacé à Aymen Benabderrahmane qui était en poste depuis juin 2021. Discret, ce dernier était la cible de critiques à peine voilées de la part du chef de l'État. Son successeur est un ancien diplomate, âgé de 74 ans, proche d'Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Il était jusque-là son directeur de cabinet au palais El-Mouradia. Ce revirement ministériel intervient à treize mois de l'élection présidentielle. Comment analyser ce changement ? Entretien avec Dalia Ghanem, analyste à l'European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS). RFI : Dalia Ghanem, la nomination de Nadir Larbaoui au poste de Premier ministre marque-t-elle le coup d'envoi de la campagne du président Abdelmadjid Tebboune pour sa réélection ?Dalia Ghanem : Oui, absolument. Ce n'est pas une surprise parce que cela fait déjà quelques mois que le président Abdelmadjid Tebboune n'était pas très content avec son ancien ministre Aymen Benabderrahmane. Par contre, il y a une surprise sur le profil du nouveau Premier ministre. Il a une grande et belle carrière de diplomate. Avant cela, il a été directeur du cabinet. On dit que c'est l'homme de confiance du président Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Donc, il n'a pas le profil qu'on peut attendre. Certains lui reprochent déjà de ne pas connaître assez bien les dossiers de la politique algérienne intérieure. Mais je pense qu'il faut donner quand même sa chance à Nadir Larbaoui.Vous le disiez, Nadir Larbaoui était jusque-là directeur de cabinet du président. Il était perçu comme un Premier ministre bis. Son arrivée à la primature signifie-t-elle qu'Abdelmadjid Tebboune souhaite désormais s'appuyer sur son clan à un an de la présidentielle ?Oui, je pense qu'on peut faire aussi cette lecture. Il n'a pas encore annoncé sa candidature, cela ne saurait tarder. Les élections présidentielles sont toujours des moments charnières en Algérie, surtout là un peu plus qu'avant. Il faut rappeler aussi qu'il y a eu le Hirak en 2019 [Mouvement populaire opposé à la candidature d'Abdelaziz Bouteflika pour un cinquième mandat à la présidence], que Abdelmadjid Tebboune a été mal élu si j'ose dire. Depuis, la rue a changé d'opinion, mais il y a quand même encore la peur du renouveau de la contestation. Donc, effectivement, l'élection présidentielle est dans tous les esprits.Est-ce à dire que le nouveau Premier ministre va mettre l'accent sur l'économie et le social ?Absolument ! Je pense que la question sociale n'était pas au cœur du Hirak lorsqu'il a commencé. Mais si le Hirak devait revenir, la question sociale va être au cœur de ce Hirak. Et donc, Nadir Larbaoui a plusieurs dossiers qui l'attendent, notamment le pouvoir d'achat des Algériens, les investissements, les exportations et aussi ce qu'on appelle maintenant la raréfaction suspecte de certains produits. On a vu quand même beaucoup de produits alimentaires disparaître pour des raisons qu'on ignore. Et donc, il va falloir aussi restaurer la confiance notamment avec les entrepreneurs et les opérateurs économiques qui souffrent d'une bureaucratie très lourde. Il va falloir aussi rassurer les investisseurs étrangers. Mais la première mission sera de restaurer la confiance avec le citoyen algérien concernant surtout le pouvoir d'achat.Sur les événements à Gaza, l'Algérie a pris fait et cause pour le Hamas. Ce positionnement très marqué peut-il évoluer avec l'arrivée de cet ancien diplomate Nadir Larbaoui ?On entend dire de Larbaoui qu'il a une ligne très nationaliste. Je pense qu'il y a deux questions sur lesquelles Alger ne changera pas d'avis : c'est la cause palestinienne et la cause sahraouie [soutien au Front Polisario, mouvement de libération du Sahara occidental]. La politique étrangère de l'Algérie vis-à-vis de ces deux questions a toujours été très cohérente. Donc, il y aura un soutien inconditionnel à la cause palestinienne. Maintenant, quelle forme il va prendre ? Tout dépendra aussi de l'évolution de la situation à Gaza, mais aussi de la position des voisins arabes sur la question.Mais est-ce que cette position radicale de l'Algérie sur ce sujet ne fragilise-t-elle pas le pays sur un plan international ?Je pense que ce n'est pas une question que le leadership algérien se pose, c'est-à-dire comment va être perçu notre soutien inconditionnel à la Palestine. Il peut être, oui, effectivement comme vous avez employé le mot « radical ». Je pense qu'ils vont garder cette ligne, même si cela doit mettre mal à l'aise ou mettre en péril leur relation avec d'autres pays occidentaux, mais pas que. Il y a d'autres pays arabes aussi qui n'ont pas la même ligne, en tout cas pas aussi radicale. Mais je pense qu'Alger ne changera pas d'avis sur cette question palestinienne.

Colonial violence, resistance movements and French-colonial Algeria. Professor Benjamin Brower explains the ways in which violence is conceptualized, treating it as a historic lens to understand colonial events in the past and what is happening right now in Palestine. This conversation is key for anyone who wants a detailed history of the French presence in Algeria and their mechanisms for colonial expansion and control, and to have a critical base of knowledge around colonialism and violence that can inform our understanding of what we're witnessing in Palestine. Benjamin Brower is an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin. He is a historian of colonial-era Algeria (1830-1962) whose research focuses on social and political questions, which he approaches through critical and literary theories, and postcolonial studies. His first book, A Desert Named Peace: The Violence of French Empire in the Algerian Sahara, 1844-1902 (2009) tells the story of colonial violence in nineteenth-century Algeria, and it won two major book prizes. ****** ABOUT THE SERIES ****** afikra Conversations is our flagship program featuring long-form interviews with experts from academia, art, ‎and media who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work.

Premium Content Preview - Patreon.com/360Vegas   The Sahara used to be referred to as the start of the strip, when the strip began to develop.  During that time, people talked about the strip like they do off strip properties today, too far from the action.  Turns out what people really wanted was more options and the development of the strip over the years has been nothing short of remarkable.  The question is, does the strip have a limit to the number of properties it can support, or do the struggles facing places like Sahara fall directly on the shoulders of the properties experiencing them.  Give the people what they want and they will come.  If you follow that sentiment then the question has to be asked, do people not want what Sahara has to offer?  Is that why they are struggling?   For more information regarding Del Webb and the Sahara, check out... lvstriphistory.com  Del Webb: A Man A Company  Gambling on a Dream: The Classic Las Vegas Strip 1930-1955  Viva Las Vegas: After-Hours Architecture  The First 100: Portraits of the Men and Women Who Shaped Las Vegas  Pinterest  Battle Born Pins  Vintage Vegas Shirts

Les Argentins sont appelés aux urnes ce dimanche 19 novembre pour le second tour d'une élection présidentielle particulièrement polarisée. Dans un pays plongé dans une profonde crise économique, l'ultralibéral Javier Milei, qui a recueilli 30 % des voix au premier tour, affronte le ministre de l'Économie sortant, Sergio Massa.  Veste en cuir noir, faux airs de rockeur, Javier Milei veut appliquer une politique de la motosierra (la tronçonneuse). Pour symboliser la réduction drastique du budget de l'État qu'il souhaite mettre en œuvre s'il gagne la présidentielle, le candidat ultralibéral exhibe l'engin pendant certains meetings et fait vrombir le moteur devant la foule. L'objet est devenu l'un des symboles de la campagne du candidat libertarien, qui promet de faire tomber les dépenses de l'État central à 9,3% du produit intérieur brut (PIB) contre 24,3% aujourd'hui. Une baisse de 15 points que bon nombre d'économistes jugent irréalisable, en particulier en l'espace d'un mandat présidentiel de quatre ans. Admirateur des économistes les plus libéraux - il a nommé ses chiens des prénoms de plusieurs d'entre eux, dont « Milton » en hommage à Milton Friedman, l'un des pères du néolibéralisme - Milei veut réduire autant que possible la place de l'État dans l'économie. Il compte ainsi supprimer les aides sociales, les subventions, mettre fin à l'éducation gratuite, privatiser la santé... Il tient dans le même temps des discours véhéments contre les impôts : « c'est du vol », tout comme la « justice sociale » assure-t-il, avant de comparer le prélèvement de l'impôt à un héritage de « l'esclavage » et à une pratique pire que celle des voleurs de droit commun.Abandon du pesoMais la mesure phare du candidat (qui a obtenu 30% des voix au premier tour, derrière le ministre de l'Économie sortant Sergio Massa) est de dollariser l'économie argentine. « Cela mettrait fin à cette arnaque qu'est le peso, qui fond comme des blocs de glace dans le désert du Sahara en pleine journée », a assuré le candidat lors d'une interview télévisée, pendant la campagne. La monnaie nationale a perdu plus de 90% de sa valeur face au dollar depuis quatre ans et l'inflation dépasse les 140 % sur un an, au point que les commerçants changent les étiquettes de prix des produits plusieurs fois par semaine : pour Javier Milei, la solution passe donc par l'abandon du peso au profit du billet vert. Pendant ses meetings, ses partisans brandissent même des billets de 100 dollars à son effigie.   Sans monnaie nationale, l'ultralibéral compte se débarrasser également de la Banque centrale. L'Argentine serait alors dépendante de décisions de politique monétaire prises aux États-Unis, sans avoir de marge de manœuvre au niveau local.À lire aussiPrésidentielle en Argentine: le favori des sondages accusé d'être à l'origine de la chute du pesoUne économie en criseDans un pays en plein marasme économique, le ministre sortant de l'Économie a - contre toute attente - réussi à se hisser en tête du premier tour de l'élection présidentielle. Sergio Massa, centriste rallié à la majorité péroniste, a obtenu 37 % des voix. Au gouvernement depuis août 2022 (avec un portefeuille élargi), il n'a pas réussi à freiner significativement l'inflation à trois chiffres. La Banque centrale argentine a les taux d'intérêt les plus élevés au monde (130 %). Près de quatre Argentins sur 10 se trouvent sous le seuil de pauvreté. Le pays est lourdement endetté auprès du Fonds Monétaire International (FMI), à qui il doit près de 44 milliards de dollars. La sécheresse historique enregistrée cette année n'a fait qu'empirer la situation : les mauvaises récoltes agricoles n'ont pas permis de renflouer en devises étrangères les caisses de l'État. ÉquilibristeÀ la fois ministre et candidat, Sergio Massa a joué durant toute la campagne les équilibristes. D'un côté, il a dévalué le peso de près de 20% en août, pour répondre aux exigences du FMI. De l'autre, il a baissé l'impôt sur le revenu et la TVA, pour montrer à son électorat qu'il tente de lutter contre les effets de l'inflation. Malgré l'endettement colossal du pays, Sergio Massa promet aussi de préserver les services publics et d'alléger les taxes à l'exportation des produits agricoles, très critiquées par les producteurs de viande ou encore de soja et de blé. À quelques jours du scrutin, les sondages ne permettaient pas dégager une tendance claire en faveur d'un candidat ou de l'autre. Quel que soit le gagnant de l'élection, il fera face à une économie argentine à l'agonie et devra sans doute renégocier la dette du pays auprès du FMI.À lire aussiPrésidentielle argentine: Massa et Milei s'opposent rudement à une semaine du scrutin

¡Episodio 1535 de "El Siglo 21 es Hoy"! En este episodio del pódcast El Siglo 21 es Hoy, exploramos el mundo de las gafas con filtro azul y el negocio detrás de ellas. Descubrimos que, aunque estas gafas se promocionan como la solución para proteger nuestros ojos de los efectos perjudiciales de las pantallas, un estudio reciente revela que puede que no sean tan efectivas como se nos ha hecho creer. Además, investigamos el fenómeno de las personas que usan gafas con filtro azul sin necesitarlas solo por su apariencia, y reflexionamos sobre la importancia de mirar menos nuestras pantallas y disfrutar del mundo real. También abordamos el impacto de las pantallas en los niños y los consejos de expertos sobre su uso adecuado. Y para aquellos preocupados por cuidar sus ojos de los efectos del uso excesivo de pantallas, ofrecemos una guía divertida y útil para proteger tus ojos en la era digital.

Pero un poco de humor nunca viene mal, ¡cuida esos ojos! ;)1. Distancia y postura: No nos equivoquemos. La "postura adecuada" no significa estirarte en el sofá como una medusa derretida mientras sostienes tu celular con una mano y un paquete de papas fritas con la otra. Y por distancia no nos referimos a poner el teléfono al otro lado de la habitación para hacer zoom con los ojos.2. Ambiente de trabajo: Por supuesto, tener buena luz, humedad y ventilación. Aunque, honestamente, es más probable que la mayoría de nosotros acabemos en una cueva oscura con un computador, una lámpara de escritorio y un ventilador que suena como si estuviera a punto de despegar.3. Descansos: Sí, esa famosa regla 20/20. Pero, ¡espera! También hay otra: 20-6-20. ¿No es esto como recordar todas las contraseñas que debemos cambiar cada mes?4. Lágrimas Artificiales: Puede que llores lágrimas reales al recordar cómo era la vida antes de las pantallas, pero estas lágrimas artificiales son para esos momentos en que tus ojos se sienten como el desierto del Sahara.5. Consulta al Doctor de Ojos: No al vecino que dice saberlo todo porque "lo leyó en Internet". A tu OFTALMÓLOGO. Aunque claro, no me sorprendería si próximamente hay un "Dr. Google Ocular" en la esquina. Y no, no es lo mismo oftalmólogo que oculista, son diferentes, uno es médico y el otro no lo es.6.

Bueno, querido/a lector/a, la presbicia te ha encontrado. No, no es una secta secreta, es un fenómeno ocular. ¡No desesperes!

A pesar de que, por su cercanía a las Canarias, los marinos castellanos pasaron siglos recalando en las costas saharauis, la presencia española allí es muy reciente; se remonta a 1884. En aquel año Francia, Inglaterra y Alemania se pusieron de acuerdo para convocar una conferencia internacional en Berlín al objeto de que las potencias europeas –España, aunque venida a menos, todavía lo era– se repartiesen el continente africano pacíficamente. Cada país llegó con sus reclamaciones y los hechos objetivos que las respaldaban. España, baldada después de un siglo de guerras en la península y en ultramar, golpes de Estado y tantas constituciones como gobernantes, a poco podía aspirar. A diferencia de portugueses y franceses, los españoles no podían presumir de africanismo. Durante cuatro siglos habían volcado sus fuerzas en la empresa americana y apenas les quedó tiempo y dinero para emprender la colonización de África. Todo lo más que los delegados españoles en la conferencia podían reclamar eran unos derechos históricos sobre unas islas del golfo de Guinea y cierta presencia más o menos continua en el norte de Marruecos y las costas del Sáhara. Arguyeron que ya se habían establecido factorías costeras y que estaban ultimando los preparativos para la fundación de una ciudad, Villa Cisneros, en la península de Río de Oro. Alemanes, franceses y británicos, poco o nada interesados en ese despoblado rincón del desierto, accedieron a las reivindicaciones españolas y de ahí surgieron dos colonias: la de Río de Oro en el sur y la de Saguia el Hamra en el norte. La exploración fue lenta. Los habitantes eran pocos, no había ciudades y la única riqueza conocida, la pesca, se venía explotando desde tiempo inmemorial. Las fronteras definitivas no se trazaron hasta 1920. La capital, El Aaiún, no se fundó hasta 1940, y no fue sino hasta bien entrada la década de los 50 cuando se empezaron a explotar los recursos naturales con vistas a costear, siquiera en parte, los cuantiosos gastos que ocasionaba aquel remoto e improductivo lugar. Para entonces el Sáhara se había convertido ya en el África Occidental Española, pomposa denominación inspirada en los usos franceses. En 1958, coincidiendo con la independencia de Marruecos y la entrega a Rabat de la colonia de Cabo Juby, las posesiones saharianas pasaron a ser una provincia española casi como cualquier otra: enviaba procuradores a Cortes, tenía código propio de matrícula (SH) y un gobernador general. Los lugareños, conocidos como saharauis, eran prácticamente españoles. Podían viajar a la metrópoli y establecerse en ella si así lo deseaban, libraban sus deudas en pesetas y se les expedía un DNI parecido al nuestro, pero con un distintivo rojo. Durante 18 años, los que estuvo jurídicamente vivo el llamado Sáhara Español, la nueva provincia registró un importante crecimiento económico y demográfico. Las minas de fosfatos, descubiertas a finales de los 40, y la exuberante pesquería costera, unido a un flujo ininterrumpido de capital desde la península, pusieron el territorio en el mapa por primera vez en la historia. La situación no tardó en dar un brusco giro. Hasán II, rey de Marruecos desde 1961, se tomó como algo personal la anexión del Sáhara, que consideraba parte irrenunciable de su país. Después de caldear el ambiente durante varios años, en octubre de 1975 organizó una expedición, a la que denominó Marcha Verde, con 300.000 civiles desarmados. Su misión sería cruzar la frontera y plantarse delante de las tropas españolas, que tendrían que elegir entre perpetrar una matanza de civiles o retirarse. Por otro lado, el estruendo revolucionario de las guerras de independencia africanas había llegado a la zona: en 1973, unos jóvenes universitarios capitaneados por El Uali Mustafa Sayed fundaron el Frente Polisario a imagen y semejanza de los movimientos de liberación nacional que proliferaban por el Tercer Mundo. El Polisario, cuyas siglas responden al castellanísimo nombre de Frente Popular de Liberación de Saguia el Hamra y Río de Oro, no tardó en atentar contra los destacamentos españoles y las instalaciones mineras. Para colmo, Franco se estaba muriendo y en la Península se abría una nueva etapa política llena de incógnitas. Todos, empezando por el Rey, sabían que había que salir del Sáhara. La cuestión era cuándo y cómo. La respuesta se dio seis días antes de morir el dictador: España, Marruecos y Mauritania firmaron un protocolo en Madrid en el que España se comprometía a ceder el territorio y a abandonarlo antes del 28 de febrero de 1976. La evacuación fue rapidísima. Se puso en marcha la Operación Golondrina, cuyo objetivo era que todos los españoles abandonaran la provincia de inmediato. El Estado se encargó del transporte de personas y bienes hasta las Canarias, donde se reasentó la mayor parte de los desplazados. Se cerraron comercios, se vaciaron casas e iglesias, hasta se sacó a los muertos de sus tumbas. Todo lo que se podía mover se movió a Gran Canaria o a Fuerteventura. La operación aeronaval fue de tal envergadura que durante los meses de noviembre y diciembre la Armada despachó para las costas del Sáhara, aparte de los transportes, dos fragatas, dos destructores, una corbeta y un dique de desembarco, el Galicia, que había servido en la Guerra Mundial durante la invasión de Okinawa. La Armada no había organizado una maniobra semejante desde la Guerra de Cuba. A mediados de enero apenas quedaban españoles en el Sáhara. Los saharauis quedaron a merced de los marroquíes y los mauritanos. Éstos últimos se retiraron pronto, cuando comprobaron que conquistar el Sáhara pedía mucho a cambio de casi nada. Los primeros siguen allí y pocos son los que se acuerdan de aquella colonia remota a la que casi nadie quería ir. Pues bien, para hablar de este tema tan interesante como desconocido vuelve a La ContraHistoria Carlos Pérez Simancas, todo un experto en estas pequeñas historias.

Show Notes and Transcript June Slater is someone who saw the dangers of uncontrolled immigration and spoke out.  She is an accidental media voice who now speaks common sense to her 121 K followers on X and delivers truths on GB News.  The problem is that many of us see the collapse of our communities and societies but keep quiet.  But June is someone who cannot hold her tongue and says what many of us are thinking but too afraid to say.  She joins us to look at our failing institutions and ask, can we ever trust them again?  Parliament and Police, local government, courts and education have always held our country together.  But when they mock and ridicule the public and play them for fools then that balance and trust collapses.  June highlights the areas in which our previously trusted institutions have failed us and asks whether we can ever put our faith in them again. June Slater is a retired businesswoman who lives in the North-West of England.  June has been campaigning for Brexit since 2016 when she joined Vote Leave's campaign in Blackburn.  Since then she has built a huge following as a social and political commentator on her social media channels.  Her no-nonsense, straightforward approach is a refreshing and invigorating change to the uni-party Westminster Politics.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) June Slater. It is wonderful to have you with us today. Thanks so much for your time. (June Slater) Thank you. Thank you. The invitation, it's very kind of you. No, not at all. It's always good talking to people. Actually, the fun part is talking to people who you don't really know and you see online, you see on TV, and of course people can follow you @JuneSlater17 is your Twitter handle. And certainly you popped up on my feed a lot. Maybe for the viewers, certainly for our US viewers who may not have come across you, June, you're UK based obviously and being on GB News, it may not cross over the pond stateside. Do you want to just give us a minute, just your background or how you've got to where you are and then we'll get on to the topic, which is can we ever trust our institutions again, but tell us a little bit about yourself first. Okay, I'm a retired businesswoman and my only intention was after retirement when I was about 47 was to fill my house with rescue dogs and just have a nice time. Running a second home in Austria, travelling there with the dogs, that was it. I knew nothing about politics, never took any notice of it, didn't affect my business life. I just got on with what I wanted to do. And then we got attacked a couple of times at the Channel Tunnel with migrants. When I say attacked, not directly, they were trying to break into trucks, and we ended up in a wrong queue in our rather low -slung Mercedes CLS, which seemed to be dwarfed by these huge trucks. And a guy jumped off the back and came towards the car, and I was mesmerized for a minute. He was huge and he had something that looked like a crowbar in his hand trying to get in the truck, but it didn't work. He was angry and we were next in line. And I just said to Dave, Jesus Christ, get up the hard shoulder, just go. And as he came towards the car, I had a particularly noisy dog. I had four little dogs in the back, Westies, but one sounded bigger and they were blacked out windows so he couldn't see them. So I let the window down a little bit and my dogs kicked off and he backed away. But as he approached the car, he went up to my passenger window and he went, hey, blondie, he did that? So we drove off up the hard shoulder, which you're not supposed to do, got ourselves together and I wondered who the hell it was. And he said, who do you think it is? And I had no idea about the migrant crisis, hold my hand up. my husband was pretty well versed on what was going on in the world, I was naïve completely. Then another time...  How long ago was that?  2015.  Okay. Then we were traveling on Christmas Day and we did the crossing when we got out the other end at Calais. The whole of the six lanes of motorway was cordoned off. We just drove out sat in a queue and it was on fire with a barricade that the migrants had made with tires and wood and whatever they could find. There was at least, I think, about 80 police vans, riot police. It was terrifying. So again, I just thought we've got to get out of this. We're sitting ducks because these maggots were kind of spreading out and throwing rocks. So we went, we used an entry road for an exit and we just got off the motorway the wrong way and went on the back lanes. I was that nervous, I couldn't fathom me sat nav out to avoid motorways. It kept taking me back to the motorway and obviously we were very nervous about coming across them again. So we drove for about 60 miles without stopping to make sure we're out of the way and that's when I started taking it seriously because I thought this is peacetime. I'm in Europe, I'm just going from my home to my holiday home in the Alps in Austria. I'm going to ski in winter and swim in summer, what the hell's going on? So I started investigating it, lamely at first, then I got more stuck and more stuck in and as I'd always said to my husband, don't involve me in politics because I am like a dog with a bone, I won't let go. So I got more stuck in and I realised that this was a deliberate attempt to disrupt Europe. And it sounded a bit far -fetched. I was in denial when I first found out and I even came off Facebook for a couple of days. I couldn't handle it and then I thought people should know because there were more people like me than like my husband who knew what was going on. He wasn't politically active, he just knew what was going on. He knew something was wrong. So I started telling my friends on Facebook. I have about 1,000 friends on Facebook from real life events working for me or friends from school and I started telling them and I started finding out more about it and then I decided to... I thought Brexit was a good idea to get away from the EU legislation that was allowing them in because the only thing the EU legislation has ever done has been a gateway for cheap labour. It's not free movement of people, it's free movement of cheap labour for Tory backers. Having always voted Conservative, that probably sounds a bit odd, but anyway. So I joined Vote Leave as a volunteer and went out at the weekends and I could see that this business of campaigning with leaflets was a bloody old hat, it wasn't moving with the times and I thought I'm quite a good communicator. I used to have a driving school with a high pass rate because I could communicate information well and I'm quite good at putting complex stuff into simple terms. So I thought, I'll have a go, I'll have a go, because it seemed to me the political bubble deliberately spoke their own language to keep ordinary people out. So I started explaining what Brexit was really about. It wasn't about the pet passport, it wasn't about the e -hicks card, it was not about easy travel, it was certainly not about free movement of people. It was about creating an entity to get everybody roped into it until they were linked like the United States and couldn't get out of it. And then they would come down with the tyrannical version of events because as you know the EU is autocratic not democratic it's anti -democratic it's not just not democratic it's anti -democratic. Because they're creating laws all the time, their MPs, I don't know if your American viewers realise their MPs are told how to vote, they do not get a free vote, they're given a list, votes going every day, they create it a bit like the Roman Empire describing something out every day to you know there's legislation to follow all the time, where democratic societies have generally run with a list of basic requirements, don't murder people, don't rob, don't rape, don't do this and get on with your life. Sadly we seem to be following suit even though we have voted for Brexit. So I turned my page over to public, which scared me to death and I got quite a lot of abuse and I was going to pack up, because Dave said we don't need this in our life, which we didn't, And something, I don't know. Something drove me on because I could see millions of people wanted to know what Brexit was about. So I organised, people kept messaging me, new people I didn't even know, June what does it mean? Because I don't think this EU's any good. So we'd have meetings, I'd say, right, well, you know, little factory workers on the lunch hour or hairdressers, people within, you know, in an engineering shed. So they'd have their sandwiches, get a computer, and we'd have a meeting at like 12 o 'clock, half past 12. So I had little groups of people where I told them what Brexit was really about, and these were people that weren't even going to vote at all in the referendum. And I'm quite proud to say, I think I probably encouraged, I thought it was about 5 ,000, but I think it's more like 15 ,000 people, to vote to Brexit. And that was just, I'd only just started, I'd only had 4 ,000 followers. I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't intend to get a load of followers, I've never asked anybody to follow me, I've never made any money out of it, I've never took a penny off anyone. Twitter give you a bit of money now, 38 quid I've had, so I haven't dined off Twitter, I can assure you. I didn't even touch Twitter because it scared me to death, it looked like a bloody bear pit. So I didn't start Twitter properly till last July, Not this July, just gone the one before because it just looked like a load of aggressive people with avatars and no sodding names. Having a go at each other, I thought I can do without that. Anyway, I just retweeted other people's stuff from 2019. And then I thought, sod it. I didn't know whether my style of vlogging would go down very well with my little short videos that I do, two minutes here and three minutes there. So I did a couple of videos about issues and they were getting 300 ,000 views, one at 900 ,000 views, another had a million. So all of a sudden I went around on Twitter and I'd gone from 6 ,000 followers to 19 ,000 followers to 22 ,000 to 36 ,000 and it grew and grew quite quickly in 12 months. I'm at about 120 I think now. Baring in mind, I'm not a celebrity. I haven't been a former dancer or a football player. I'm just a mush that sees the world is going to hell in a handcart and if we, the people, don't do something about it, we won't get a choice in it soon. Currently we have a choice and that's why I keep going. So that's my background into this. I'm basically a fun -loving person who only joined social media to run a fun group with jokes on. I don't know where that ended up. Now you've become an online voice of reason and GB news, all of that. It's interesting because I knocked on so many doors, did all of that with UKIP and with vote leave. Immigration, obviously, this is a massive failing in our Parliament, which is one institution which I traditionally believed in, accepted, and now many of us are the opposite opinion. But not only immigration, but the COVID tyranny has woken a lot of people up to what is happening in Parliament in Westminster. We've just had the, well, we have the public inquiry, which seems to be the biggest waste of time. But what were you, because immigration, but then you've obviously seen, lived, spoken about the the COVID tyranny and there's no apology, there's no parliamentarian saying we got it wrong, oops, it's just same old, same old. There's one politician, normally the British Parliament has a government and opposition party, that's all part of the government, it's the King's opposition, the King's government. We haven't had any opposition and that always struck me as odd. How come a Labour party is backing up a Tory party? Easy, it's easy to work it out, they're not Tories. Anybody out there who's thinking of voting for the Tories to save them from Labour, you're dreaming pal, you are absolutely dreaming. Oh but Labour are worse, the Tory party have ended up in power in this country for 13 years on the back of a threat that Labour are worse. They're the same, it's the uni-party, nobody's offering anything any different, all roads lead to Rome, the WEF, the W -E -F. Let's just cut the crap about the WEF as some spooky sinister organisation. It's not. It's just a basically glorified chamber of trade that's for the upper echelon in society. It's like your local chamber of trade but for really big hitters. So politicians gravitate towards this set of comedians because if they ever lose their seat, and many of them will. They've somewhere to go, they've rubbed shoulders with people and swapped business cards and, you know, like Chuka Amunna, he's ended up with a top -flight job because he went to the WEF. Sadiq Khan, that atrocious man, he hangs around there like a bad smell in a gent's toilet. He's always there. Boris wouldn't allow his ministers and MPs to go to the Davos conference. Strange bloke, Boris, very strange. I think what we've got to look at is, don't be afraid of them. The only difference between the WEF and you and me, they have more money. That's it. They are not smarter, they are not cleverer. Some of them have ulterior motives, many of them have, and a lot of it boils down to one old favourite, profit. Now, some weirdos that are part of the WEF want to control humanity. Well, the Nazis tried that in two world wars and there's lots of rumours about a lot of overhang from that. The European Union was basically a Nazi plan devised after the Second World War to take over Europe through the banking system because President Eisenhower stitched Germany up into to an agreement, a treaty, that doesn't expire until 2099. And that is, they're not allowed to have an aggressive army. They can only have a peacekeeping force. It's a treaty. They're a vassal state to the US. And a lot of things that are going on, everything that's happened since Black Lives Matter is interconnected. Every single event, I don't care what it is, it's all interconnected, to disrupt and destabilize. Because it seems strange to me in America, all the states that have the disruption with Black Lives Matter were basically Democrat states. And lots of property deals have been done since in these areas that got trashed. And a lot of people have made money. I mean, basically, you seem to have four crime families running in America. Good God, how can these people even get up in the morning and show their faces? And I'm sorry, some of you may be offended by this, but if any of you in the States are actually thinking Joe Biden won an election, I think you should change your tablets, because there's absolutely no way that man won. Absolutely no way he won. He fiddled it. That's my opinion and currently I'm allowed to have it, but sometime in the future I'll probably won't. So my worry for the future is, wow, if the leaders of the free world, can engineer an election, where a dribbling man who can't string a sentence together, who has to hold a cue card up to talk to someone who he's interviewing. If the free world can end up in those hands, what hope is there for the rest of us? Because it seems to me, the only thing I can work out is it's like the Clinton, Obama cabal behind it, because no way Joe Bedridden, that's my name for him, is running America. Absolutely no sodding way. So all of a sudden America's... Trump, it doesn't matter whether you like him, people sadly still judge him on his comb over and his tan. I mean, I get that. So he didn't want to go to war with anyone. He had Jews talking to Arabs. He even got North Korea down off the shelf. What was your problem with that man? He increased manufacturing in the US. Hello, are you listening to all this? This is a list of stuff and he never even took a wage. Now you've got a crime family who's got a a coke snorting son who's been in and out of bed with underage people. That's what it looks like on some places, I could be wrong, happy to stand corrected. Who's had everything bad that he's done covered up. They're dealing with Ukraine, where money laundering, organ harvesting, and Christ knows what else is going on. And this is the family that's running America. Wow, you are in a mess. You are in a serious mess. Buddy-ing up to China, and then you've got Russia. This is what kills me. Russia. Oh, be afraid of Russia. Oh, scary. Bogey man. Bad man. Russia man bad. Zelensky good. Bollocks. Bollocks. Absolute bollocks. Zelensky won his ticket on a peace agreement. He said he'd signed a peace agreement with Russia. That's what Russia expected. And what's he called? Robert Kennedy. He tells you quite openly in one of his interviews that once Zelensky got in, the neo-cons nobbled him. We don't know how, but they nobbled him and he changed tack. There should have been a peace agreement, the Minsk accord. It was never signed. And then what they did after the war broke out, they got Boris Johnson like a sodding lapdog to go across and scupper the peace talks for the Minsk Accord too, which was basically going to stop war again. What I've noticed with warmongering people like the Biden administration, they'll risk anybody's son but their own. They're always fighting on someone else's soil and it's always their people. It's their nation that'll get ripped to shreds. It's their people that are dying on their own soil. it's disgusting what's going on. So we're all told this is a great war saving democracy and freedom and if you can't see through the fact that during a war this lunatic has never been out of khaki clothing yet never been to a battle. You've got Richard Branson turning up for a visit in the middle of a war dressed in white. You've got Boris Johnson going. you've got celebrities, you've got Vogue magazine going with a full film crew, hello, that isn't what happens in war. Usually people are too scared to go to a country that's at war. You've got refugees coming here that are paid for by the Department of Work and Pensions, paid to go home when they want to sort things out, like one was going home because she had a bad tenant in her house. So I'm thinking to myself, hang on a minute, if you've got a tenant in your house back in Ukraine, weren't you in your house? What are you doing over here? You've got a tenant in, you're making money out of it. So obviously the house is standing. This doesn't detract from genuine grief, genuine injury and genuine death that's going on in Ukraine right now. They're using that country. It's a patsy country run by corruption from outside forces. That's my opinion. Again, happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong. So we've got all this going on. And you've got a set of people in the British Parliament, the mother of all parliaments, who are rancid in corruption. It's a den of vice as far as I can see it. There are people there, there's an MP whose sister is vaccine injured, she's got Guillain -Barre syndrome. You've got two male MPs that have vaccine injured wives. You've got three that have minor vaccine injuries and nobody's saying a word. Shh! Don't say anything. Don't complain about it. So you've got a Parliament and this is how people have got to wake up. In Britain we have the National Health Service. It's atrocious. It's not fit. It's not fit. It's absolutely... You go on about the tiered system in America. Oh my God, you should see the NHS in Britain. How can the public roll the sleeve up, accept an injection that's brand new on the back of the government are bothered about you, the government really care? How can they do that when during that period the very self -same government took 5 ,000 beds away in the NHS, there aren't enough ambulances, there aren't enough paramedics. People are sitting in a hospital after they've gone because of an episode, whatever's gone on, serious episode, sat in soiled pyjamas in corridors waiting to be seen. And yet they can find an interpreter to come immediately for someone who needs attention, that can't speak English. That's a side issue. The real issue is common sense people never lose sight of that. You can't go to university for it and all you need to do is question the obvious. Right, if the government cared about us, surely in a growing population the best they could have done, even for a pandemic, would be to grow our national health, to have more doctors, to have more beds, not take 5 ,000 away when you've already taken 15 ,000 away from us in 2017. That doesn't add up to me, that isn't care, that is cost cutting. Yeah, following on from that, because we've seen, and the one MP that is standing up is Andrew Bridgen, we've had him on here twice, I think, before, but not only on what's happening with COVID on vaccine harms, but also his latest 10 minute bill is on the WHO pandemic treaty, looking at that, and that seems to be a follow on from COVID. Everyone is scared to death, therefore this is now the solution. And it is, again, it is, when you say unbelievable, at one point it would been unbelievable to think our politicians would hand over power but they did it with Brussels, with the EU and the WHO, the UN body, I guess is another step in that process of handing all power over. Well basically it's muted any benefit we could have had from Brexit because they're just taking power away, they're taking sovereignty away from us now through the back door. They tried it with the EU and we voted to leave. You see two things happened that should never have happened. Trump won and, Brexit won. So I got a lot of stick because I said that Agenda 2030, Agenda 2021, 2021 being the century not the year, were nothing to worry about when I was blogging at the time and people said oh you got that wrong, you got that wrong. No I didn't, no I didn't get it wrong because at that point we got Trump in and we got Brexit. So those two issues should never ever have affected us because as a country we were ring fenced with our own sovereignty to say back away from the vehicle we don't want this shit in our lives, we're not interested in your depopulation, we're not interested in your smart cities, we're going to get on with being the best we can be. We're British, we've got the greatest global reach of any member state of the EU, people forget that, we ski down the ski slopes, we sit on their beaches, we buy their wine, we drive their cars, we wear their clothes. What do they buy from us? Not very much. We are their best customer and they have basically treated us appallingly. Nothing needed to change. No legislation. They could have eased us out of there. We all trade the same. The fact is they didn't want us to. They didn't want Brexit to be made easy because other people would want to leave. And now it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter about Brexit. The only saving grace we've got with Brexit is that during the tyranny of the last three years as they forced 40 ,000 care workers out of their job in an industry, may I say, that's already short -staffed, that has malnutrition in British care homes, malnutrition, and they forced 40 ,000 people out of their jobs that hadn't done anything wrong other than say, I don't want the vaccine and then the together declaration Alan Miller's lot, and which I'm a kind of ambassador for which means I don't know I speak out for them and, nurses 100 ,000 lobbied the government to stop the same happening to the NHS. The government were already shipping people in from abroad that can't speak English. Nurses, how do we know how they're trained? They're coming in from far -flung places to treat people. There's a geriatric hospital where people are wandering around with useless face masks on, where elderly people who are already confused with Alzheimer's and God knows what else, who also are in there with ailments. I've got foreign nurses who don't even know what a bedpan is. Dear God Almighty what's happened to this country. So we've got that going on in the background but we fought back, now had we been in the EU we couldn't have fought back, would have had to do what the EU said and I know this from my neighbour in Austria and in the Alps. We'd sold our house in 2019 but still in touch because we were very very good friends and they had to get vaccinated but to be fair they did have a get out clause if you could prove you got positive antibodies from having the infection you didn't need to have the vaccine so you could go around your business for six months and then you needed another blood test because my neighbour did that. Now the thing is that's quite a good option. But it's not such a good option when you think, in Europe, after the Second World War, they opted for a system where you had to show your papers to get in a restaurant, to get in a supermarket. They could stop you on the street. When is somebody going to wake up and say that that is really seriously bad news? So unfortunately or fortunately I should say we're not in the EU so we could say, no we're not having it, we don't want this and we had a pivotal moment, you know the Tiananmen Square where the guy stood there a little single man in front of the tank, we have that in Britain people didn't notice it, but that's what we had and we had a doctor, a lung and heart specialist, who was Dr, I can't remember his name now, Stephen, I'd seen him in WhatsApp groups, I can't remember his surname. He was live on Sky TV, they couldn't edit it, with Sajid Javid, the then Health Minister at the time, where he said, have you had your vaccine? And he said, no, I don't need it, I've had COVID. And he said it quietly. Stephen James, Dr. Stephen James, that was a Tiananmen Square moment because they couldn't edit it. Because the big thing that's happening to us now is that media, the stuff isn't getting out. So you have to come on places like this and you have to go on my channel, you know, Twitter page. And it's not enough because there are millions of people out there who only trust news from the telly. It has to come from the telly. If it hasn't come to in the house from the telly, it's not news. So when that happened, whoa, that didn't half put the brakes on and it made Sajid Javid look like the uninformed twit that he is on health issues. He's a banker for God's sake. We've got a doctor, Liam Fox, why didn't they make him health minister? He knew that what was going on was wrong. He would have been a much better candidate. Don't get me going on, please don't get me going on Matt Hancock. No, no, no, we'll not even go Matt Hancock, it's a programme series in themselves. There's Parliament absolute collapse, public trust, an old -time loan institution and people no longer give a damn who, and you're right, red and blue is just the same difference. But I'm curious to have your thoughts on the monarchy because I grew up as a monarchist and our American friends will maybe mock the monarchy but I always saw as giving stability and the Queen being certainly a rock in terms of faith and that privacy, never seeking the fame. Complete change with King Charles, obviously tight connections with the WEF and I also read that he's going to give the opening COP28 speech which is the UN climate change body. How do you, again I think a lot of people have lost faith in that institution with that huge change. What are your thoughts on the role that King Charles now plays? Well he's not his mother. His mother kept out of everything and generally speaking in a democracy if you've got a constitution, with a royal family that's the head of the constitution, it's usually a safer place to be and it has been. That's changed. That stopped when she died because he came to power. You want to go look what's happened with him. He's a climate junkie anyway, so that all depends. You know, these people are pampered. They've got gout. They've got things wrong with them. They read what they want to read and they read what Lord Fauntleroy has put in front of them, so it all depends what he chooses to read. So yeah he's really close with the way the WEF want to do things and he called COVID a window of opportunity for a great reset. How? How is the virus everybody basically recovered from, the death rate gladly didn't have enough people in it and a lot of them were elderly anyway, the average age of people dying from COVID was higher than the age you're expected to live anyway, it's 85. How can that be a window of opportunity? For what? We're all locked down, we can't get together, we can't complain, we can't get access to information. So while we're all in that position, let's just bring some tyranny out. What a good idea. No, sod off. Prince Charles, for me, is completely untrustworthy and the monarchy has ended and all that's happening now, these sad, chinless wonders are trying to keep a 1300 year old brand going. We've got Jacinda Ardern, Mr Ed from bloody New Zealand, who's now the right hand monkey of Prince William and his, I always say a money shot, that's porn isn't it? Disgusting. What's it called? Earthshot. He's brought her in, she's left, she's now come to work for him as his right hand. Oh read the writing on the wall people, just because he's got a fit wife that looks nice in really expensive clothing doesn't mean these are nice people. These are not nice people, these are not people that you can trust your future with and that parliament of ours, 650 eunuchs now. Once that WHO pandemic treaty is signed, we have 600, well 649 because Andrew Bridgen's fighting against it. I speak to Andrew quite a lot. He's ruined his own life for this, do you know that? And there's idiots out there saying, oh he's controlled opposition. Don't talk like a canary. He's not controlled opposition. He's apologised four times now, as I've seen it, for joining in the rollout, recommending it, and recommended that the NHS should have it. He's seen the light, he's vaccine injured himself, he's fighting back hard, he's doing his level best, it's ruined his life, his kid's getting bullied, nobody speaks to him at work, they won't sit with him, they're stonewalling, they're horrible, these people are horrible, the power junkies, they're out for themselves, they are not there to represent us. That's what they're supposed to do, but they're not. They've now got to this stage where, you know, Brandon Lewis has turned around and thinks it's a good idea for migrants so we can't even prove where they're from. Open up your homes because we're not happy with the hotel bills we've got for it. Are you mental? Have you got some sort of deranged disorder that, oh yeah, what a good idea, we don't know where they're from, they don't like us, they don't speak English, let's open our homes up and let them live with us. You, I'll tell you what, you fill your homes up first and we'll follow suit. How about that? So this is where these people are absolutely bonkers because once that WHO pandemic treaty is signed, that's it. They control farming, they control agriculture, livestock, the weather, they control whether or not you will be able to see your nan in a nursing home, they will control whether or not you can go to work. You can sit there in Osset Whistle in Lancashire and someone in Geneva can tell you whether or not you can go to work, even though you've got a and even though you're fit and healthy and even though you're not ill, there'll be some reason that they can cause a lockdown and you'll have to do it because the MPs that we pay, £170 million a year for will say it's not us, no no no it's not us, it's the WHO, we have to. Anybody in their right mind only needs to look at the planet to see the planet runs differently in different places. There's a Sahara desert and there's a mountain range called the Himalayas. There's sea and there's land. There's tropical weather and there's warm balmy weather. There's living in the North Atlantic in a set of windswept islands like the UK that gets plenty of water and there's drought in other places. How one body of people can decide what the whole world does to approach anything, be it weather or health, is bad news. It's wrong, it won't work, it will cause death and destruction and we have got 11 MPs we're not allowed to know the identity of that are overseeing this. I showed the WHO pandemic treaty to my solicitor who does a lot of my land deals. I said what do you think of this? And he had, you know, left it a couple of days and he got back to me and went, good God, he said I didn't even know this was, I said well yeah that's what's. He was shocked, he's not politically active. And he said, if this was an agreement for you personally, I'd tell you to not sign it, run a mile. So, we, the wording, people generally, they might buy one or two houses in their life, they never see any legal documentation. That's what they're relying on. I see a lot of stuff. I see a lot of leases. I see a lot of contracts. And I see the wording and over the years, I've got savvy with it where you think, hang on, That actually doesn't mean that in that sentence, that's legal terms for something quite different. That thing is full of it. That despicable piece of legislation is full of traps so that we've got nowhere to hide and nobody on this planet has the right to rule the planet because it's all so varied. The farmers in Holland are having compulsory purchase orders of their farms for less than what they're worth, so that they can stop growing food. Holland grows most of the food for Africa. And what has always amazed me, we're getting down to the bones of it now, I think they've played their hand too soon. They really have played their hand too soon with Covid, because guess what? Loads of us didn't get vaccinated and we're all still alive. Hard luck. And we're all still here banging on about it. So at the beginning, they've not engineered this right. At the beginning, they had the nation on their side. You were granny killers if you were talking like me, etc. Now we're not. Now we know we're not. And the old people's home, you see, everybody has skin in the game. It's not just the politicians. It's everybody connected. they all have their reason for the way they react to legislation. The nursing homes, you can't visit. It's easier to run a nursing home without visitors. It's a lot easier to run a nursing home without visitors. Keep them out, they're a bloody nuisance. Wow, that's easy. Or it's Covid, it's Covid, you can't come in, it's Covid. Yeah right, it's a damn sight easy. And then what happens in a lot of UK nursing homes, regular visitors from loved ones bring them food in because some of them, if they've got mental health issues as well as being infirm, they forget to eat and they get their breakfast tray served, a shift changes, a new girl comes on, takes her breakfast tray away, hasn't noticed the old person hasn't eaten it, or a younger person even. So I had a friend who's got a person in a care home and she took food every day, then she couldn't, and her daughter lost weight. Two Stone! She's only 20 odd. And they were all given DNRs. Do not resuscitate. Who's got the right to do that? Because some bum head politician like Matt Hancock decides that he hasn't got enough insight to think of his own idea. So I'll copy what Jeremy Hunt said when he was Health Minister, which is if there's a, they do these for pandemics, what to do, right, don't let the NHS get overrun, shut the hospitals down. That was the procedure, if they were overrun. He locked them down, the donkey. Not because they were overrun. You get a hospital with 10 wards, one ward open, that's not overrun. That's not a virus running rampant. That's bad administration. We were never overrun. Cardiff Hospital, 94 ICU beds, never had more than 45 of them open. That's not overrun, that's bad management. Bed blocking they call it, when they can't send old people back to the care homes because of Covid. So they keep them in hospital longer, so they can't put new people in. Bad management, that is not a virus, that is not a natural virus that's running through the country, creating a health hazard. The people running the country are the hazard. Bad decision making.  And with the NHS, Nightingale Hospital, supposedly open for that demand, were never used. I just want to finish on one thing that's current. We could go through the collapse of the court system, schools sexualising children, local government, 15 minute cities, that level of control. But I just want to finish just to touch on the armed forces. We've got Armistice day coming up, when the nation stops to remember those who have fallen traditionally in the First and Second World War. And we've never had such a tight connection with our military as maybe our friends across the water in the States do. But I guess it's that public view that we now have police and guards around the cenotaph and some of the monuments to protect them from being attacked and defaced. And that's something that, again, if you go back years, you would never have thought of protecting those because there was that respect. How has that kind of collapsed, that respect, from sections of the public for our armed forces? Because this section of the public don't care about this country. This section of the public only care about what they can get for this country. I think, was it Kennedy who said, don't ask what your country can do for you, what can you do for your country? There's nobody with that ethos or thought process out on the streets of Britain today demonstrating. I'm absolutely floored by what I've seen and I covered what was going on with Syria at the time because I got quite good with a tech guy who was really good at sourcing fake videos and fake footage and he found out about the White Helmets staging these atrocious gas attacks in Syria. It was nothing of the sort. They were faked. I watched them. I watched them make it. I watched the video of them getting a wind machine like a Hollywood movie set, big bag of cement and then that blew it in and then they added the sound effects, going on all the time. It's happening now and I'm not getting into the debate of the Middle East, I'm not interested in it. What I'm bothered about is what happens in this country and in this country you can demonstrate, you have the right to protest, fine, you've got that right but you don't have to do it on the one day of the year. We've become, We don't even respect any other holiday. We just about close our shops for Christmas Day and then, wow, we're opening, we must get those people spending. We have one day, one day a year that means something to a lot of people. We have cenotaphs in villages and towns. We have that one day a year where we should be able to honour our dead because I'm old enough, I'm 65, I'm old enough to have parents who fought in that war, who served in that war, a mother forced to go in a munitions factory as my dad was sent to war at 17. So I know all about it because they talked to me about it because they didn't want to ever see it happen again. And I'd got uncles who were injured in the war. One was in Burma in a prisoner of war camp, came home a neurotic wreck, a skeleton. And all these things happened. Rationing, do these young people out on the streets with the big full bellies and the big fat faces waving the flags realised that people came home from war and then had another 10 years of rationing food where they didn't even get enough food to eat once they served the country. They've got no idea what we went through. I'm sick of being looked at as though it's all right for us because we're in the West and we've got everything. We work for everything we've got. We have put the effort in. We have paid the taxes. We have suffered the losses to get our country to a good standard and their countries are still fighting to get what they want and that does not give you the right to desecrate a day that should be just left untouched. This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, leave it alone. Just give us some breathing space. Do it another day. You're getting plenty of media coverage. I don't know where you're getting your flags from, but they all seem brand new. You're out there. I look at these young faces, a lot of them student types. Well, that's if you can see the face, because the men seem to prefer to cover them up. If I felt so strongly about something, I'd have my face showing and my name showing, as I do on my social media. So I am absolutely appalled, as are many other people. And it's not just happening in London, it's happening in Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Darwin, Huddersfield, Manchester. All these people have come out from the woodwork. They're not from this country that they're on about. Half of them don't know what's going on properly. And they don't have the right to desecrate this weekend and chuck our poppies off. Our cenotaph, no flags, no poppies on. It's bad enough on Remembrance Sunday that we have to watch people like Tony Blair and what's he called, the other fella that sold us out to Europe after Maggie.  Gordon Brown. Gordon Brown as well, yeah, but the other fella. He was having an affair with Edwina Currie. What's he called? Mr. Grey.  Oh, John Major. John Major, yeah. It's bad enough watching people like that at the cenotaph with the fake somber attitude and the crumbies on. It turns my stomach that these days of the people that put the effort in, you know, these people are the ones that cause the bloody wars. These are the ones, wars are caused by people in suits and uniforms, but they're fought by people who seldom have them on. They're fought by people told what to do, and they have the audacity to bring these characters out as though they care. They don't care. These are soulless characters in my view. And to have to, all right, we'll stomach that because it's how it is, but we don't have to stomach this lot. We don't have to stomach these angry, entitled, opinionated, and you know what Briton's lack, what Britain has too much of, ingratitude. People come to this country, we print everything we've got in 23 languages so you can understand it and settle in better. We share our school, we share our housing, we share our healthcare, we share everything that we've built up, we share with you. And on this one day, back off, shut up and give us our day. That's what I think, because I am sick of people who have come to this country, and this is not racist, I wouldn't go to your country and expect so much. It's ingratitude. We've given everything we've got to give. Everything we've got to give has been handed over on a plate to people who've never paid a penny in and we're still getting it wrong. We're still told we're not doing enough. Apart from self -flagellation, I don't know what else we can do. You're 100 % and it is that. We welcome people in and haven't had that agreement of what it means to come here in that level of respect because I guess it was expected but you can't assume in this day and age. June, love having you on. So good. As I said, love following you online and great to have you on in person chatting to you. So thanks so much for your time today.  Thank you.

In this bonus, author interview, I sit down with historian Adrian Goldsworthy and discuss his most recent book: Rome and Persia: The Seven Hundred Year Rivalry. The Roman empire was like no other. Stretching from the north of Britain to the Sahara, and from the Atlantic coast to the Euphrates, it imposed peace and prosperity on an unprecedented scale. Its only true rival lay in the east, where the Parthian and then Persian empires ruled over great cities and the trade routes to mysterious lands beyond. This was the region Alexander the Great had swept through, creating a dream of glory and conquest that tantalized Greeks and Romans alike. Tracing seven centuries of conflict between Rome and Persia, historian Adrian Goldsworthy shows how these two great powers evolved together. Despite their endless clashes, trade between the empires enriched them both, and a mutual respect prevented both Rome and Persia from permanently destroying the other. Epic in scope, Rome and Persia completely reshapes our understanding of one of the greatest rivalries of world history.

Du Sahel à l'île-de-France, de la musique tamashek du Niger à un afrobassband francilien, tout est dans la #SessionLive ! Notre 1er invité est Omara « Bombino » Moctar, un surdoué de la guitare et héros folk touareg, connaît bien la vie nomade. Être constamment sur la route pour sa musique tout en se déplaçant perpétuellement dans la région du Sahel en Afrique fait partie de son ADN. Aussi, lorsque la pandémie a bouleversé le monde, Bombino s'est retrouvé dans une zone inhabituelle : rester au même endroit. « J'ai l'habitude de voyager pratiquement toutes les semaines et j'ai été confiné pendant deux ans », explique-t-il depuis sa maison de Niamey, la capitale du Niger. « Le côté positif, c'est que j'ai repris contact avec mon pays et que j'ai passé du temps avec ma famille pour la première fois depuis longtemps. » C'est ainsi que nous arrive la suite de Deran, paru en 2018, un disque qui a fait de Bombino le tout premier artiste nigérien nommé aux Grammy Awards. Intitulée Sahel en référence à la région qui traverse l'Afrique d'Ouest en Est, de l'océan Atlantique à la mer Rouge, cette nouvelle collection de chansons est l'œuvre la plus personnelle, la plus puissante et la plus manifestement politique de Bombino. C'est aussi son album le plus divers sur le plan sonore, une qualité qu'il s'est efforcé d'atteindre dès le départ et qui est censée refléter directement l'entrelacs complexe de cultures et de peuples qui composent la région du Sahel elle-même. « Je pense tout le temps à la situation difficile des Touaregs, confie l'artiste, et bien que je l'aie toujours abordée dans ma musique, j'ai voulu lui donner une importance particulière dans cet album. » Pour donner vie aux chansons, Bombino a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec le producteur et mixeur gallois David Wrench (David Byrne, Frank Ocean, Caribou, Goldfrapp, Erasure ,The xx, Sampha), et s'est installé avec son groupe dans un studio à Casablanca pendant dix jours pour enregistrer l'album. « Bombino est un musicien incroyable, un des meilleurs avec lesquels j'ai travaillé », confie Wrench avec émotion au sujet du guitariste touareg. « Ce qu'il fait semble facile, mais c'est tellement complexe. C'est un style si raffiné, c'est tellement lui, c'est unique. Il y a toute cette histoire dedans, c'est dingue. » L'admiration est réciproque. Alors que Bombino a eu la chance d'avoir des guitaristes tels que Dan Auerbach et David Longstreth comme producteurs à ses côtés dans le passé, Wrench a apporté un nouveau  degré d'expertise. « Ce que j'aime dans le fait de travailler avec David, c'est l'incroyable finesse de son oreille, l'immense concentration dont il fait preuve en studio, explique Bombino. Rien ne lui échappe. Même les plus petites choses attirent son attention et il se concentre sur les moindres détails du son. » À maintes reprises, Wrench a vu Bombino réaliser une prise étonnante en studio, puis y revenir « et la doubler pour qu'elle soit parfaite. Il opère à un autre niveau. »Les dix chansons qui composent Sahel abordent des thèmes aussi variés que le sort des Touaregs, la douleur d'un amour perdu ou les folies de la jeunesse. Le premier morceau, « Tazidert », prêche la patience alors que la musique elle-même incite à se lever et à bouger. L'entraînant morceau « Aitma » fait la part belle à la guitare pyrotechnique de Bombino. C'est un appel aux armes lancé dans sa langue maternelle, le tamasheq. « Défendons notre peuple, car nous sommes les mêmes, d'où que nous soyons »,dit-il en s'adressant aux Touaregs de toute la région. « Quand on regarde la situation dans chacun des cinq pays qui composent le Sahel (la Libye, l'Algérie, la Mauritanie, le Mali et une partie du Burkina Faso), le peuple touareg n'est pas représenté au sein des gouvernements. » Et ce n'est que tout récemment que la situation a changé au Niger. Sahel est tourné vers l'avenir et le passé, il s'agit d'un mélange de chansons nouvelles et anciennes, et chacune a trouvé un écho chez Bombino pour une raison ou pour une autre. « Beaucoup de groupes entrent en studio avec une série de morceaux qu'ils ont répétés, mais ce n'est pas comme ça que Bombino travaille, raconte Wrench. Il arrive avec ses sensations du moment, c'est une façon beaucoup plus instinctive d'enregistrer. Il puise dans la mémoire de ces centaines de chansons qu'il a écrites. Il s'abreuve au puits de son propre travail et à celui de sa culture, et en tire ce qui lui semble juste. »« Si Chilan » (« Deux jours ») est l'une des plus anciennes chansons du vaste répertoire de Bombino, écrite pour la première fois dans les années 1980. « J'aime mettre en avant les chansons qui font partie de mon répertoire depuis très longtemps, mais qui ne sont pas encore apparues sur un album, explique-t-il. Lorsqu'on vit avec une chanson depuis si longtemps, on lui trouve toujours de nouvelles facettes, de nouvelles façons de l'exprimer. C'est en ce sens que la chanson est dynamique, – elle continuera d'évoluer, du moins dans la manière dont je m'identifie à elle et dont je l'interprète. Je la compare à du miel, une bonne vieille chanson est comme le miel, elle se bonifie avec l'âge. De même, « Nik Sant Awanha » (« Mes frères, je connais notre situation ») date de la fin des années 90 et constitue l'un des pamphlets politiques les plus incisifs de Bombino, qui y déplore les divisions au sein du peuple touareg, les risques de l'exil et une menace existentielle plus grande encore, la perte de la culture touareg. « Même si, géographiquement, le désert du Sahara est notre patrie, tant de Touaregs se voient refuser ou priver de certaines nécessités de base dans toute la région, explique-t-il. C'est ce qui m'a très largement motivé, le type de chansons que je chante et pourquoi. Je veux que les gens pensent aux Touaregs, et représenter ceux qui ne l'ont pas été. Ils ont vraiment besoin d'une voix. » Outre la perte de représentation au sein des gouvernements de ces pays et l'absence des Touaregs dans la culture dominante, Bombino estime que, même avec l'interconnexion instantanée que les smartphones apportent, « la plus grande menace est celle de la technologie et de la modernisation. Une culture marginalisée comme celle des Touaregs risque de se perdre dans l'homogénéisation culturelle. »En ce qui concerne les thèmes plus généraux abordés par Bombino tout au long de l'album, le morceau acoustique « Mes Amis », qui clôt l'album en douceur, parle de la jeunesse et de l'amour à sens unique. « Il est important d'évoquer les choses personnelles, de se connecter avec les gens de cette façon, en leur apportant des histoires et des thèmes auxquels ils peuvent s'identifier », explique Bombino, ajoutant que le temps supplémentaire passé chez lui, avec ses enfants, l'a aidé à clarifier son objectif. « Tout ce que je fais est au service de ma famille, pour leur donner, et améliorer leur situation. »Le rôle de Wrench a été de mettre en valeur Bombino et son groupe de manière à capter le son touareg (qui s'étend sur des siècles) tout en le reliant à notre présent immédiat. Il ne s'agit pas d'une pièce de musée, mais d'un « maintenant » vivant. Si Wrench s'est fait un nom en mixant et en enregistrant du rock psychédélique et de la musique électronique, il considère Bombino comme partie intégrante de ce spectre. « Pour moi, il n'est pas très éloigné de ces domaines. Les rythmes sont tous en 3 au lieu de 4, mais l'effet est similaire : la répétition, l'intensité et le sentiment procurés ne sont pas si éloignés de la techno. À l'écoute, sa musique provoque un effet similaire : elle peut clairement nous emporter dans un ailleurs très différent. » Titres interprétés au Grand studio- Tazidert Live RFI - Mes Amis, extrait de l'album- Ayes Sachen Live RFI Line Up : Bombino: chant et guitare, Dia : basse, Nabil Othmani : guitare, et Corey Wilhelm : batterie.Son : Mathias Taylor & Benoît Letirant.► Album Sahel (Partisan Rd 2023).Puis Balaphonics & Mary May s'installent dans la #SessionLive pour présenter l'album éponyme.Cet afrobrassband sillonne la France depuis 12 ans en mettant le balafon au centre de sa musique. La rencontre avec la chanteuse Mary May s'est imposée au groupe, fasciné par sa facilité à passer de la soul au rap tout en saisissant le public sur le vif. Dix âmes sur scène qui bouleverseront votre cheminement intérieur et attiseront votre soif de communion.Après un an de travail avec Mary May, Balaphonics a enregistré un album, en janvier 2023, au Studio La Frette pour immortaliser cette galvanisante collaboration. Un titre aurait pu être apposé sur la future pochette du disque, mais pourtant, la seule histoire que raconte cet album, c'est celle d'une rencontre : celle de Balaphonics & Mary May. De deux mondes qui se sont côtoyés sur les scènes et jam parisiennes, pendant des années, avant de coaguler tout au long de l'année 2022. Toujours marqués par la musique partagée avec le griot Moriba Diabaté au Mali, Balaphonics a toujours eu à cœur d'approfondir une relation à la voix sans pour autant franchir le pas.

From bullets and bombs in Belfast in the 70s to a variety of civil wars in Africa… not to mention crossing the Sahara on a café racer… Chris Donaldson's life did not lack excitement and danger in 1979/80. As Chris' “trip” unfolded he realized the destination was no longer the “thing” – he was traveling for the sake of traveling (… still on the Moto Guzzi café racer!) From Ireland down through Africa to South America, L.A. to Vancouver and across Canada, south through the U.S. and Mexico to South America… that was Chris' first trip. You might remember names like the Ayatollah Khomeini, Idi Amin, Pablo Escobar… Chris seemed to visit at less than opportune times! This conversation is adventure but nothing compared to the book!!

They dive into spiritual bypass, shadow work, lessons of ayahuasca/plant medicine, controlling your internal environment, resistance being your biggest teacher, surrender/non-attachment, the power of discernment on your spiritual path, and so so much more!

durée : 00:04:35 - Avec sciences - par : Alexandra Delbot - D'un mignon surnom à une infox archéologique, il n'y a qu'un pas.

Potter Stewart an associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court once said, “Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.” Censoring artists, intellectuals is not a new thing. Today to discuss more about censorship we have Ajit Rai with us on Audiogyan. We'll be talking about banning and censorship in films in the Indian context. This episode will be bi-lingual but mostly in Hindi. Listeners have to bare with my Hindi questions but Ajit sir will cover my shortcomings.

On the show this time, it's the OG desert blues of Mali's Tinariwen. Tinariwen has been bringing the sound of the northern Sahara to the world for over 20 years. Their music has won the hearts of listeners worldwide, regardless of language spoken. There's a vibe, a hypnotic groove, and a poetic humanness that pulls you in. There's also the Blues - the universal music of self-expression in the face of persecution. These musicians have faced hardship and oppression, and it's not over. A coup in 2020, another in 2021, the withdrawal of the French military and ongoing messy battles between various factions has made civilian life very dangerous. Their songs call for unity, and bravely run counter to the more fundamentalist groups, some of whom would ban music altogether. This record features playing from Daniel Lanois, banjo player Wes Corbett and fiddler Fats Kaplin, highlighting the band's Americana influences. It's called 'Amatssou' and was produced remotely by Lanois. It is available through Wedge. Recorded 05/29/2023.
