1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,600
between France and Belgium has

2
00:00:01,839 --> 00:00:06,359
reportedly been closed now quite a

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,480
significant event do you think that such

4
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:10,040
security measures can help prevent

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,120
similar

6
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:16,480
attacks well they're necessary but not

7
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,840
sufficient in fact the shenen

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,080
arrangements should have been suspended

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,320
completely after the equally foul

10
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,840
atrocity in Paris uh just a few months

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,960
ago uh they are necessary but they are

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,399
not sufficient it it's clear that these

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,320
people are well organized their

14
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,000
murderous intent is

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,520
uncheckable uh they are a death cult

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,199
they care nothing about giving their own

17
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:49,239
lives to take many of ours so clearly

18
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:51,559
shenen suspension tighter border

19
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:52,760
controls and so on are necessary but

20
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:55,239
they're not

21
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,039
sufficient now Mr Galloway we're hearing

22
00:00:55,239 --> 00:00:59,000
reports that Belgian intelligence

23
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:01,160
already had information that terrorist

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,760
attacks were being planned what do you

25
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,040
make of

26
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,040
that well I think we can almost always

27
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,560
say that terrorist attacks are being

28
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:14,360
planned and not just in uh Brussels uh

29
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,920
these people appear to be in very

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,320
significant numbers uh these attacks in

31
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:24,280
Paris and Brussels uh were not Lone Wolf

32
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,600
attacks of uh deranged uh swiveled

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:30,840
Madmen uh these are people with military

34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,960
capability and they appear to exist

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,520
uh in all countries in significant

36
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:40,040
numbers and we're just not getting to

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:44,680
grips with that and worse than that when

38
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:48,119
uh Russia uh joined seriously the war in

39
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:53,119
Syria to try and exter Pate at least the

40
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:56,600
base of this Isis Al-Qaeda phenomenon uh

41
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:59,520
they were subject to merciless criticism

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,280
threats of sanctions and so on uh by the

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,439
very Western countries that are uh

44
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,879
shedding in some cases crocodile tears

45
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:11,280
today these presidents and prime

46
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:14,840
ministers uh who appear shocked shocked

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,239
that such a thing can happen again are

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,040
the very people who didn't support

49
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:22,920
Russia indeed attacked Russia for trying

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:26,160
to uh at least on this particular

51
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:28,959
Battlefield in Syria uh actually destroy

52
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,920
these people and of course Mr Gallow

53
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:32,640
these these tragic events today they're

54
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,360
not the only attacks this month earlier

55
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,040
we saw attacks in ankora as well and

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Turkish president Ty berigan warned that

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,560
Europe and specifically Brussels um

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,280
could uh could face the could become the

59
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,760
target of such attacks before we come

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,200
back to you let's just take a listen to

61
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200
uh to his

62
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,920
comments there is no reason why the bomb

63
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:58,840
that exploded in Anora cannot explode in

64
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:01,640
Brussels or in any other European

65
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,000
city what do you make of um of the

66
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:06,080
Turkish president's words Mr

67
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,319
Gallow well I'll I'll give him the

68
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,400
benefit of the doubt that it was not an

69
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:13,599
informed uh prophecy but erdogan and his

70
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,400
regime have played a very significant

71
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:19,040
part in begetting Isis in in

72
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,920
facilitating it arming it treating its

73
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,000
wounded uh buying its stolen goods and

74
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:28,560
of course at the very same time as these

75
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,599
M murders in ankora have been taking

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,480
place erdogan himself has been murdering

77
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,920
Kurdish people in his own country and in

78
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,599
Syria in very very much larger

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,959
numbers now Mr Galloway in the in light

80
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:45,000
of these recent attacks in today's

81
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:47,319
attacks in Brussels we've seen security

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,159
heightened across Europe um at Frankfurt

83
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:51,560
airport for instance and also cologne

84
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:53,959
airport um can you tell us more about

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,280
the situation in Europe at the

86
00:03:53,959 --> 00:04:00,000
moment well uh I think that Europe will

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,000
go into lockdown because it's very

88
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,439
unlikely that this uh incident will be

89
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000
the last of its kind and we here in

90
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,920
Britain are extremely worried uh that uh

91
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,079
we are in the firing line we're not of

92
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,000
course in the shenen and we have clear

93
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:20,680
water between us in the European

94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Mainland but uh our uh problem is there

95
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,360
nonetheless and particularly in London

96
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:30,160
particularly where I'm sitting now in

97
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Central uh London I hope the our

98
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,520
intelligence uh and our police are

99
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:40,320
wholly prepared for the challenges that

100
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:43,160
probably lie ahead and if they uh emerge

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,440
we have to shoot these people dead we

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:49,320
there is no room for liberalism in this

103
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,440
someone comes to harm innocent people in

104
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:55,600
London whatever their cause uh they must

105
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,440
be shot down dead but that will not

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,440
solve the problem that too is necessary

107
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:05,440
but not sufficient you know we actually

108
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,400
created this phenomenon in the 1980s in

109
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,639
Afghanistan when on the principle of my

110
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,720
enemy's enemy is my friend we built up

111
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:17,840
this fanatic extremism just like Dr

112
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,000
Frankenstein built up his monster only

113
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,400
for it to quickly break out of control

114
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,880
that's what's happened I told Mrs thater

115
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,720
on the eve of the fall of Cabo in the

116
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,280
1980s you have opened the gates for the

117
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,039
barbarians and a long dark night will

118
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:38,520
now descend I never said true or

119
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:40,960
once and Mr Galloway in terms of the uh

120
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,479
broader EU policy on the migrant crisis

121
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,919
these attacks obviously come on the back

122
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:46,840
of that deal between the EU and turkey

123
00:05:44,919 --> 00:05:49,319
in terms of the the funding and the

124
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:52,199
exchange of of Asylum Seekers between

125
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:54,280
the camps what impact will this have on

126
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:56,840
any future such deals and indeed on the

127
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:59,880
migrant crisis uh in Europe at the

128
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:03,440
moment well it's not having uh any

129
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,840
impact at all the Sea of misery still

130
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,360
streams our way uh and that's not I

131
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:11,919
think in the short term going to change

132
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,440
it was a very sordid deal you know

133
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:18,120
erdogan who did so much to create this

134
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:21,479
Refugee crisis accepts large amounts of

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:25,160
European money to try we'll see if he

136
00:06:21,479 --> 00:06:29,599
succeeds in staunching the flow and in

137
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:32,560
exchange he gets accelerated talks on

138
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:36,560
turkey's entry into the European Union

139
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,440
so it's a very good deal but only for

140
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,880
erdogan Mr gallway thanks so much for

141
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,360
joining us here on Art International

142
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,840
great to have you with us today thank

143
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,840
you welcome
