Is the Iran-Israel conflict entering a new phase—or is the real battle only beginning?In this episode, Carl Zha analyzes the fragile ceasefire framework between the United States and Iran, Israel's continued military operations in southern Lebanon, and why the Strait of Hormuz has become one of the world's most important geopolitical pressure points.The conversation explores whether Washington can enforce agreements with its closest allies, why Iran views control of the Strait of Hormuz as its strongest source of leverage, and how the conflict could reshape power across the Middle East and beyond.Carl also discusses Trump's political calculations, the future of U.S. influence, the strategic objectives of Israel, sanctions, diplomacy, and the role ongoing negotiations could play in preventing a broader regional war.Topics Discussed • Why Israel continues military operations despite ceasefire announcements • Trump's diplomatic strategy and domestic political pressures • Iran's leverage through the Strait of Hormuz • Can diplomacy succeed while fighting continues? • The future of U.S.-Iran negotiations • Israel's long-term regional objectives • Why the global economy depends on Hormuz • The role of Western media in covering the conflict • Reconstruction, sanctions, and economic negotiations • Has American global dominance entered a new phase? ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

On 13 June 2026, Common Knowledge Edinburgh hosted a conference that took place both online and in person called ‘Jeffrey Epstein: How Deep and Wide Does It Go?’ with two highly knowledgeable journalists on this topic: Sonia Poulton and Kirby Sommers.Common Knowledge Edinburgh was founded to bring people’s attention to truths that the mainstream media and other institutions were either ignoring or concealing. Areas that Common Knowledge Edinburgh have covered include health, politics, criminal activities, and other conspiracies.The Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy is one of the largest conspiracies that has come to the attention of the public since 2020. Epstein has gained recognition as a genuine conspiracy and has entered our culture as a motif of how power and corruption operate in the world. If we rely on the mainstream media, large parts of the Epstein conspiracy remain unreported.In Part 1, Sonia Poulton introduced her interest in the Epstein case, explained the background and some of the details that she has uncovered. Sonia has long been a public figure who has mined the hidden narratives and their authors to influence the world, whether as a print journalist, a documentary filmmaker, or a YouTube broadcaster on her popular show, Wake Up. Her work has brought new understanding to many, particularly her work on the Madeline McCann case and Diddy.In Part 2, author and investigative reporter Kirby Sommers, gave her talk. She has authored 24 books. She is a survivor of the cabal to which Jeffrey Epstein belonged—not of Epstein himself, but another member of this long-running ring. She writes a top-ten bestselling Substack newsletter and hosts a podcast. Her works include a memoir called The Billionaire’s Woman, Jeffrey Epstein Predator Spy, Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography, and others. These can be found on her website.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

Jerm talks with Richard Storey — Catholic writer and author of The Uniqueness of Western Law — about the origins and decline of the West.Storey argues that European character was forged by Indo-European warrior culture, that the West rests on a Roman skeleton with Catholicism as its natural successor, and that "Judeo-Christian" is a dishonest label for what's really a Greco-Roman inheritance. He sees the Protestant Reformation as the moment shared corporate identity fractured into spiritual individualism — the seed of the hyper-individualism now eroding family and community — and framesmodern liberalism as a resurgence of Gnosticism.Throughout, he argues that "mammon" — money and technology — is the recurring death mechanism: empires grow wealthy, lose their martial virtues, and collapse into individualism.https://richardstorey.substack.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

Simon Roche, of South African exit-strategy group Die Suidlanders, argues that apartheid was not purely an Afrikaner creation but grew out of British colonial segregation policies.He adds that the system was unsustainable, yet believes current socio-economic conditions in South Africa are actually worse than under apartheid.He also points to ongoing foreign interest in the country's natural resources, to suggest South Africa remains a strategically valuable pawn on the global stage.https://suidlanders.org► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

For decades, the United States benefited as it attracted the world's top scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Is that advantage now disappearing?In this episode, Carl Zha and Daniel Dumbrill examine how recent U.S. policies may now accelerate China's technological rise rather than slow it down. They discuss the Trump administration's approach to scientific research, the change in flow of global talent, and why more foreign researchers choose Chinese universities and companies.The conversation also explores the increased international success of Chinese manufacturers like ZXMoto and BYD, debates which surround AI, cybersecurity, and national security, and the broader geopolitical implications of U.S. foreign policy—from Xinjiang and economic development to the Middle East and the Iran conflict.Topics include:• Why foreign engineers increasingly choose China• BYD, ZXMoto, and the rise of Chinese manufacturing• Trump's science and technology policies• The change in global competition for talent• Anthropic, AI, and U.S. intelligence agencies• Cybersecurity and accusations against Chinese tech firms• China's western development strategy in Xinjiang and Tibet• The fentanyl debate and U.S.–China relations• Why some analysts believe Middle East conflicts benefit China's long-term strategy• The future of U.S.–China competition► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

Has the world just stepped back from the brink of a major economic crisis?In this episode of the Silk & Steel Podcast, Carl Zha welcomes back Dr. Warwick Powell to examine the latest developments that surround the reported U.S.–Iran memorandum of understanding, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and what it could mean for global energy markets, regional security, and the future of the Middle East.The discussion explores whether this agreement represents a genuine breakthrough—or simply a temporary pause before renewed conflict.Topics include:• Trump's announced agreement with Iran • The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz • Oil markets and global economic consequences • Israel's regional strategy • The future of Iran-U.S. relations • China's vision for a new Middle East security architecture • Whether the current ceasefire can survive • The long-term implications for global geopoliticsWill diplomacy prevail—or is this merely the next chapter in a much longer conflict?► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

UK Column presents an exclusive report following Brian Gerrish’s visit to Reiner Fuellmich in prison.Over the last 20 years, Brian Gerrish has visited a number of people in prison. Some he believed to be innocent, and some he knew to be guilty. Whatever the crime or punishment, meeting a person in the austere setting of prison is a definitive experience. In a one-hour meeting, the presence of a visitor is light in the darkness, and time goes very quickly indeed. Alongside greetings and basic human interaction, there is little time for deep conversation. There is, however, enough time to look into the eyes of somebody you have never met and make an instinctive human assessment as to whether you trust them or not. Thanks to the dedicated work of supporters of Reiner Fuellmich, Brian was able to travel to Bremervörde, Germany, to visit Reiner in prison.Reiner was the man who created the Corona Investigative Committee and to whom Brian gave formal evidence about the UK Government's use of political applied behavioural psychology to induce fear into the UK population. The Government's objective: to instil greater compliance of vaccine uptake and lockdowns by increasing fear of Covid and the accompanying social backlash for those challenging the system. Brian's visit to Reiner in prison, coupled with extensive interaction with Reiner supporters, has facilitated this exclusive and extended UK Column report into Reiner Fuellmich. He is the man who supporters say ‘took a bullet’ to help save mankind.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

David Rasnick, a biochemist of many decades, argues that cancer is caused by aneuploidy — an abnormal number or balance of chromosomes — not by individual gene mutations as mainstream medicine claims.When carcinogens disrupt how chromosomes are shared during cell division, the chromosomal imbalance which results is inherently unstable. This causes more errors each time the cell divides, which results in a snowball effect Rasnick calls "autocatalyed progression."Over time, this chaotic reshuffle produces a cell that grows out of control and becomes a tumour.Rasnick points out that gene mutation theory fails because many carcinogens do not damage DNA, no cancer-specific mutations have been consistently found, and virtually all solid tumours are aneuploid — something the mutationtheory can't explain.In short, cancer is a disease of chromosomes, not genes. Mainstream focus on gene mutation has looked in the wrong place for decades.https://www.davidrasnick.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

This conversation digs into the history and meaning of the 16 June uprising in South Africa, looking at what led to the protest against Afrikaans being forced as the language of teaching in schools.Simon Roche walks through the pivotal moments in South Africa's history, focusing on the downfall of apartheid and what the 16 June events really meant.He reflects on the poor judgement of the apartheid regime — forcing Afrikaans on black schools was an arrogant move that showed how out of touch they were. The uprising that followed on 16 June 1976 became a turning point, and the date is now commemorated as Youth Day, honouring the young people who stood up.Simon also gets into the controversial legacy of Hendrik Verwoerd, often called the architect of apartheid. There are lingering conspiracy theories about his assassination, with questions about whether there was more to the story than the official narrative. Either way, as the regime's brutality became impossible to ignore, apartheid supporters lost any credible moral standing.The discussion touches on the role of indigenous peoples and the influence of foreign agitators in shaping the narrative of the uprising.https://suidlanders.org► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

With the first wave of rebellion crushed, we turn our attention to the man who would ultimately be founder of the Han Dynasty: Liu Bang. This episode is a deep dive into his early life, family background, and the social networks that propelled him from a "local bum" to a rebel leader. We trace his lineage back to the aristocratic Fan family of the Jin state (who claimed descent from the sage king Yao), his grandfather's fall from nobility (betraying the city of Feng to Chu), and how this "fallen aristocracy" still retained local prestige.We then follow Liu Bang's colorful early career: his trip to the Wei capital to meet his idol Lord Xinling, his friendship with Zhang Er, his drinking buddies, his accidental stabbing of a friend who went to jail for him, and his legendary ability to "aura farm" his way into marrying the daughter of a wealthy newcomer.Finally, we cover the catalyst for his rebellion: when, as a police chief escorting prisoners to the First Emperor's mausoleum, half his convicts escape, and he decides to release the rest and become a bandit. With omens, divine snakes, and a good dose of self-made mythology, Liu Bang gathers hundreds of followers, takes his home county of Pei, and becomes an independent rebel leader.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
