1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Seven two, The Worldview with Adam Gilchrist The Morning. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: Adam, Hey, good morning. I hope you're hearing me, okay, 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: because I've got some funny gremlins on the line. 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Not all good hearing you loud and clear. Now, speaking 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: of clear, there's a ceasefire, a ceasefire two weeks ceasefire. 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: Things rarely went to the brink last night, didn't they? 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: Oh my word, ninety minutes before that deadline of a 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: whole civilization would die, is what President Trump said. And 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: then he announced although weirdly he didn't speak. He just 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: did it on truth social So given that this is 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: an American president who absolutely likes to talk things through, 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: he didn't talk. And I don't think has talked yet 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: about this supposed truce, the talks that will happen in 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: Pakistan beginning on Friday. The ten point plan that absolutely 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: seems to be Iran's ten point plan, no mention of 16 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: nuclear weapons in it. Also Iran taking complete control of 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: the Strait of Holmuz. You think, well, they didn't have 18 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: that before, so have they gained from that? There are 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: all sorts of other things. There's a lot of money 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: to be made. Is I think one view of how 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: this pans out. But of course it's all the rest 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: of the world that'll be paying for what two million 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: dollars a tanker to get through the strain of Homos. 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: It does, I have to say, from this distance, feel 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: completely like the American President has caved in. And it 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: does look like the war was just a bit too 27 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: difficult and a bit too unpleasant. And it was obviously 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: very unpleasant for the Iranian people. But for the American president, 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: he didn't achieve what he said he was going to achieve. 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: And let's ignore the fact that he thinks he has. 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: It's a very weird kind of two weak truce. We 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: could be back where we are before. I mean, this 33 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 2: could have just kicked the can down the roads. 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: They quite right, all right? Hero or zero. There's Australian 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: soldier facing murder chargers. What a storm? 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 37 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: We have the most decorated living soldier in Australia's got 39 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: any number of medals, including the Victoria Cross and who 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: left the Australian Defense Force thirteen years ago, but has 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: now been arrested and is indeed behind bars for five 42 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 2: counts of alleged murder. He denies killing unarmed Afghan civilians 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: or overseeing the killing of is the other thing. He 44 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: says that it was all lawful in combat, or indeed 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: the incidents didn't occur at all. There have been plenty 46 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: of people coming forward, including a former Australian Prime Minister 47 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: and Elon Musk saying you cannot judge a soldier in 48 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: combat by the same rules that apply to say, an 49 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: ordinary civilian in the street outside. And we can kind 50 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: of take that point. The trouble is is that, of 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: course this argument about whether or not he's crossed the line, 52 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: is it almost impossible to verify. Collecting evidence, photos, data, 53 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: witness statements in the Afghanistan of today is almost impossible, 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 2: if not impossible. So you wonder if this will go 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: anywhere at all. 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, And then where do you 57 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: put your doggie doo? Hopefully it's not Hadrian's Wall. 58 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, the two thousand year old UNESCO World Heritage side 59 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: Hadrian's World, built by the Romans to keep out the 60 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 2: pesky Scots on the other side. It goes basically from 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: one side of England to the other, and here we 62 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: are two thousand years later. It has been used by 63 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: dog walkers are somewhere to stick the dog pooh, so 64 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: they're doing the right thing. They are scooping after the 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: pooping and putting it up in little plastic bags, but 66 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: they are not apparently taking the plastic bags away. So 67 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: all along Hadrian's Wall now is this lovely walk and 68 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: there's lovely part of the world. There are now plastic 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: bags sticking out of various colors, So we can now 70 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: truly say what do the Romans do for us? Apart 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: from aqueducts, sanitation, roads, irrigation, medicine, education, wine and public bars. 72 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: They gave us the world's largest pooh bin, and perhaps 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: people need to change their practice. 74 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, Julius Caesar would not have been proud. Thank you, Adam, 75 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Adam Gilchrist and the world view. Cheers.
