DIESELGATE | Day 223 | Trump dumps Zelensky | Houthis hit Saudi airport | France and teenage kicks

Dieselgate. Trump dumps Zelensky. The war economy coughs black smoke. Day 223 and the wheels are coming off. Trump turns on Zelensky as the Ukraine project stalls, the money dries up and the diesel trail starts leading back to the same old war machine. While Washington talks peace, sanctions and strategy, the question is who is really fuelling the conflict, who is profiting from it and who gets dumped when the game is up. The Houthis strike Saudi airport, France erupts into teenage rebellion and the West’s great moral lectures look thinner by the hour. Tonight George Galloway follows the fuel, the money and the hypocrisy. Is this the end of Zelensky’s usefulness, or just another dirty deal from leaders running on fumes? Joining George: Kim Iversen: Political commentator and host of The Kim Iversen Show. Analysis of Trump, US politics, media narratives and the public revolt against the official line. Chay Bowes: Political analyst. A sharp breakdown of Ukraine, Russia, Europe and the collapsing logic of the…

THE HANNIBAL DIRECTIVE | Day 219 | IDF kills its own | Children Of The Revolution | France aflame

The Hannibal Directive. The dead Israel will not count. The truth it cannot bury. Day 219 and the official story is coming apart. The charge is devastating: did the IDF kill its own under the Hannibal Directive, then bury the bodies beneath propaganda, grief and war fever? As Gaza is destroyed in full view of the world, the question is no longer only what happened on the battlefield, but what was hidden from the people afterwards. Tonight George Galloway cuts through the lies, the cover stories and the moral blackmail. If Israel killed its own, what else has been concealed? And as children become the face of a new revolt, from Palestine to France, how long can the war machine hold? Joining George: Ret. Lt. Col. Tony Aguilar: Retired US soldier and former worker at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. A military assessment of Gaza, the IDF, battlefield conduct and the questions the establishment refuses to answer. Garland Nixon: Radio talk show host and political analyst. A US news breakdown on Zionism, Washington,…

FLIGHT OF FANCY | Day 216 | FlyDubai mystery | Kiev strikes | Brazil showdown | Ireland v Israel

Flight of fancy, or another fairytale from the war machine? Day 216 and the official story is already wobbling. Netanyahu claims there was a “second 9/11” plan on a Tel Aviv-bound FlyDubai plane. But before the ink is dry, the propaganda drums are beating. Who benefits from the panic? Who needs the fear? And why are we always asked to believe first and question later? As the FlyDubai mystery deepens, Kiev strikes again, Brazil heads into a political showdown and Ireland v Israel becomes more than a football match. It becomes a test of conscience over Palestine. Tonight George Galloway cuts through the spin, the fear and the fog of war. Is this intelligence, theatre, or another flight of fancy from leaders desperate to keep the public afraid? Joining George: Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi: Professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran. Live from Tehran with analysis of Iran, Israel, the FlyDubai mystery and the wider regional crisis. Dr Dimitri Simes: Analysis of Kiev strikes,…
