00:00:25Media, the attacks come as Saudi Arabia says it will
00:00:29respond. firmly to hoouti strikes that injured 13 civilians
00:00:33in three Saudi cities. The United Nations says fighting in

00:02:44a in us.
00:02:57Would you come to the aid
00:02:58of the UK? You weren't there? "help me, your country was not
00:03:02there to help
00:03:03a me. President Trump turns his back on
00:03:05in Britain as Argentina's leader nicknamed the madman, vows to take the
00:03:11of Falklands. The Falkland
00:03:15Islands belong to Britain, 13,000 kilometers away, but
00:03:18sit just 500
00:03:20kilome off the coast of Argentina. But it's a long way
00:03:23away. They fought over these islands before. If there's another
00:03:27war, Britain may be standing alone." 'you weren't there
00:03:30of to help me, you weren't there to help me, but it just shows you how angry
00:03:34Donald Trump still is
00:03:35of with Britain for not helping with the Iran war, but
00:03:38of would he really dump Britain for Argentina if there was another conflict?
00:03:42we'll ask our panel in all three countries
00:03:44a in just moment, but first here's the context: the Falkland islands
00:03:48have
00:03:48of been British territory for nearly 200 years, just under
00:03:524,000 people live here, they're
00:03:54of British, and in their last referendum in 2013,
00:03:5899.8%
00:03:59of them voted to remain
00:04:01so. Argentina, on the
00:04:05other hand, argues it inherited the islands from Spain when it
00:04:08gained independence in
00:04:11of 1816. They call the Falklands Las Malvinas, as you'll know,
00:04:15if you watch the World Cup. In April, 1982,
00:04:19Argentina, led by General Leopoldo Galtieri, the head
00:04:23of a military juntter invaded the islands. Many
00:04:27thought Britain would back down as the islands were so... far away, but prime
00:04:31minister Margaret Thatcher
00:04:32me shocked them with her resolve. We knew what we
00:04:35of had to do, sending an expeditionary force to retake
00:04:39of the islands. US president Ronald Reagan offered thatcher no
00:04:42support at first, only mediation, but when that failed, he
00:04:46quietly, but decisively backed Britain. distant
00:04:49islands in the South Atlantic, young men are
00:04:53fighting for Britain. Britain won the war in
00:04:5710 weeks days later, was forced out of
00:05:01power, angry crowds to the streets and demonstrated outside the
00:05:05presidential palace. one year later
00:05:09one reelection, 649,
00:05:12'thinians and 255 British
00:05:15servicemen were killed. my mates The was
00:05:18of about death the worst thing
00:05:20that happened to me. The injuries are just injuries really and they
00:05:23they go on forever. Well, let's bring in our guests now, and today we
00:05:27have the British Falkland's war veteran Simon Weston, the
00:05:31former Pentagon official David
00:05:33De Roche, and the Argentinian political consultant Dr. Juan
00:05:36Iramen. Welcome to the program everyone, if
00:05:38I could start with you, Simon, we saw you at the end of that report there.'
00:05:42uh morning the loss of your friends, what's your
00:05:46reaction to President Trump and what he said about the
00:05:49Falklands? um, Mr. Trump is just having
00:05:53a little bit of a hissy fit, really, he wanted to get
00:05:57everybody from Europe to join him attack in
00:06:00Iran, um, but we're all members of NATO,
00:06:04and when you join NATO, you're not an aggressor, you're a
00:06:08defender, um, so really it was nothing to do with us, that was his
00:06:11choice. um, whatever his reasons were, I don't think that
00:06:15has anything to do with the Falkland, so really in this conversation, I
00:06:19don't think what he said is is relevant at all, um, but
00:06:23you know, look, the Falklands by default, because it's a it's
00:06:26a country of its own, but it's under British sovereignty, it made that
00:06:30choice, uh, but they they by default then become
00:06:34members of NATO, so if we do decide to enact the
00:06:38articles the association of NATO, then um, whether
00:06:42Mr. Trump likes it or not, the Americans are obligated to
00:06:45come, we went to
00:06:46their after 9/11, I i think David actually will dispute that,
00:06:50but before we get to David's point, Simon, did you have a
00:06:54gut reaction against what against what Trump said given the
00:06:58sacrifices made by British servicemen during the the the
00:07:01war? uh, no, not at all,
00:07:05Mr. Trump will say what Mr. Trump's going to say, he always does, always
00:07:09has, um, like it allowed it, he will say what he's feels
00:07:12like um, but if he doesn't want to get involved and doesn't
00:07:15want to come to our aid, um, but like I say, the all the
00:07:19countries that were asked to join them after 9/11, we joined them, we went to
00:07:23Iraq, Afghanistan, we went all those places, lost many
00:07:27people, um,
00:07:29you know, it it may show that, some people can be fair weather friends,
00:07:33but uh, you know, it's it's going to be what he wants to do, but he's only got another
00:07:37two years left in office, um, and I don't very much whether Mr.
00:07:41Malay will have an armful. to be able to threatens anyway? no,
00:07:44that's really interesting, so in other words, you're you're framing him as someone who is
00:07:48ungrateful for Britain's steadfastness during the whole war on
00:07:51terror. um, David, um, just want to ask you quickly
00:07:55about Simon's point about being in NATO and how
00:07:58it would oblige America to support Britain in the event
00:08:02of of invasion in Falklands, you don't think that's true, do
00:08:05you? no, no, there's um, this
00:08:09has always been, I mean, first off, he's right, uh, Trump is having a hissy
00:08:13fit, but he he because that's his style, but he can he can both have
00:08:17fit and draw a solid tradition, so the NATO area of
00:08:20operations was specifically defined to um focus
00:08:24on Europe, it excludes uh uh
00:08:28territories overseas, so for example uh if say
00:08:31Brazil were to invade uh French Guiana uh that
00:08:35would not be a NATO issue, the French tried to get NATO to intervene
00:08:39in um Algeria during their war there and was
00:08:42not similarly the Spanish uh colonies on Morocco
00:08:46suits and not covered and uh if say
00:08:50there was an action in Guam in the United States NATO would not respond to that
00:08:54either so there are elements that are excluded from it and uh
00:08:57I think the Falklands is is not part of NATO that's why you didn't
00:09:01really have an active support from Ronald Reagan right you didn't have an
00:09:05active and public support from Ronald Reagan uh but he did give quite
00:09:09a lot of um help logistically behind the scenes. "are
00:09:13you saying that um Trump would or would not in the event of a
00:09:17war come to the Britain's aid in the similar
00:09:19way? remains to be seen. I mean,
00:09:23predicting, predicting what Trump will do is a big question.
00:09:26um, you know, the, I'm sure that
00:09:30the the main thing the United States did was provide intelligence support, that
00:09:34is active, although, um, again, there is a
00:09:37certain, the British have step back from the
00:09:40Caribbean intelligence." because Trump was blowing
00:09:43up
00:09:44uh uh boats that he says are trafficking narcotics, so that might be somewhat
00:09:48curtailed. I'm sure that the main one was the use of ascension
00:09:52island, and I'm I, I would be very, very
00:09:55surprised if uh that had not been negotiated in
00:09:591985, you know, after the Falkland wars to
00:10:03allow Britain more access there, but
00:10:06you know, this, I mean, look past the Histrionics, which is
00:10:09hard, but uh uh, the... bigger question
00:10:13is um Trump wants uh America's partners to
00:10:17be self-reliant, which means they have capacity for NATO missions, but also
00:10:21capacity for their own missions, and I think if if you want to be very...
00:10:25charitable to Trump, that's probably
00:10:26the bigger point he's trying to make uh the personal of course is always
00:10:30policy
00:10:31with him, so exactly disassociate that a great point
00:10:34David, let's let's move to that Juan iramain, the personal very
00:10:38important, he's not just doing this to punish Britain, embarrass Britain,
00:10:42he's also genuinely friends with Javier, what is
00:10:46the basis of that friendship? It's interesting, I
00:10:49think Miley when when he was in his own
00:10:53political campaign was trying to find friends around the world is not
00:10:57easy and and trump was kind of a model in that
00:11:01sense because of his positioning to the right
00:11:04wing, so miley was trying to position himself this
00:11:08way, trump became a good friend in
00:11:12that sense and matches with something
00:11:15that is in Trump's agenda to, which is
00:11:19the the donro doctrine, remember this idea
00:11:22of America? for the Americans in
00:11:26many ways or all the focus on the on the backyard
00:11:30that is uh Latin America too, of course Canada
00:11:34too, North America, Central America
00:11:36and and Latin America, so it makes sense for both
00:11:39agendas to to have this level of partnership
00:11:43or or closeness, right? well, I think that's the base the
00:11:47friendship. there's much talk here in the UK about whether or not Britain could
00:11:51win another Falkland's war. have a listen to Britain's official history.
00:11:55and then we'll pick up off the back, if the Falklands war took place today, I
00:11:59think Argentina would face a problem that they didn't face in
00:12:031982, they were able to invade
00:12:06because the there was a tiny
00:12:08garrison on the island,
00:12:1260 marines, there were no war ships
00:12:15in place, just survey
00:12:18ship, and so they were able to occupy the islands quite
00:12:22easily, they would have much bigger problem now. because there is a full
00:12:26garison based in Mount Pleasant in the Falklands, so they would
00:12:30face immediate opposition, the aircraft there, and there's also a proper
00:12:34runway so that as long as the UK got
00:12:37notice uh that that invasion force of
00:12:41some sort was its way, they'd be able to send
00:12:44reinforcements, so it'd be actually quite tricky, the only way they
00:12:48could do it would have to be with some sort of
00:12:52surprise in which they could take out the runway as much as possible the
00:12:55garrison. David, as a former pentagon
00:12:59official, what's your thinking here? is Britain a better or worse
00:13:02position to defend itself? yeah, they're
00:13:06a better position to defend it against initial Argentine
00:13:10attack, so um, the Falklands were essentially
00:13:13undefended, and Argentina,
00:13:17landed there without any significant
00:13:21resistance, now that would be much much harder, but if...
00:13:25Argentina were to somehow take the islands initially,
00:13:28and there's there's there's fighter jets there now there, but if they were
00:13:32to take it, I think Britain would be challenged primarily because
00:13:36the uh two generations deterioration of
00:13:40funding and manpower uh, and particularly the loss of both
00:13:43lift and a strategic bomber capability in the British armed forces,
00:13:47so it would be harder for Argentina to take, but it would
00:13:51also be harder for Britain to take back, that's interesting, Simon, your response.
00:13:56"he's right, you mean it, it's the problem is Argentina because
00:14:00the military junter that they had back in 82, um, the
00:14:04civilian uh, the civilian government decided to
00:14:08disband and dismantle most of what the Argentinians had, so
00:14:11they they've got to build up an armed force that's going to be credible, their
00:14:15navy is largely where the British left it in 82 at the bottom
00:14:19the sea, they've only got really obsolete
00:14:23um naval vessels. now uh they have taken
00:14:26delivery of about 20 or 30 uh jets
00:14:30which are surplus to Denmark or Sweden or somewhere
00:14:34um but at the end the day they've got to get those
00:14:38jets to the Falklands could they travel 400 miles
00:14:42fight and then get back again um with all the
00:14:46latest warning systems that exist and the fact that we've got a
00:14:49very up to date ship that floats around the Falklands
00:14:53and plus we have four very up to date fighter
00:14:57aircraft, so there is huge difference to what it was
00:15:01in 82, we had 70 marines, they landed with a force of about
00:15:0510 or 15 thousand people, um, but they don't have
00:15:09that capability at the moment, in two, three, four, five years time
00:15:13they could do, but then again fortunes will have changed here because
00:15:17politics moves on very quickly, and in three years time we'll have another
00:15:21election, so that's right, and and talking of politics, Simon, back in 1980
00:15:25the prime minister was Margaret thatcher, known as the iron lady, she took a big
00:15:28risk, do you think the British government today has the
00:15:32political will to defend the
00:15:34islands?
00:15:37I don't think... is too many people have the the backbone that Baroness
00:15:40Statcher had um and certainly she made
00:15:44more of our GDP available to the armed forces, we had five or
00:15:48just over 5% back then, um, now it's been
00:15:52wowfully diminished, but there's governments that seem
00:15:56to think that we have what they call a peace dividend and I've argued against
00:16:00this continuously, there is no such thing as a peace dividend bause a war can
00:16:04happen so very very quickly as we've seen,
00:16:07so i think that there needs to be somebody very
00:16:10strong in parliament, yeah, people in the
00:16:14labour party, i know people in labor party you've said to me, it's not on
00:16:18the table, they will defend the falklands to the end degree, so
00:16:22we'll see, see if that's true,
00:16:24you know, politicians are not always what they say they are, doesn't it
00:16:28worry that this is the government that gave away the chegos
00:16:30islands, oh absolutely, how
00:16:34what what an economic wonderful plan that was to give. away the
00:16:37chigos islands and then pay for
00:16:39the fact that we gave it away and the americans are paying now um
00:16:43mauricius like what an earth is that about that's like buying
00:16:47a car and giving it away to somebody simon thank you still paying for it
00:16:51simon thank you very much one it remain um president meley is now
00:16:54speeding up construction of naval base in the province nearest to the
00:16:58islands how far is he willing to go - to get
00:17:02them well first first let me say something about the the previous thing
00:17:06which is i think is unthinkable any kind of
00:17:10attack of Argentina to the islands, it's
00:17:13totally impossible, it's there is no social support for
00:17:17something like that, there is no, there are no military capacities for
00:17:21that, there is there is nothing like that in the agenda
00:17:25the president, so the president is very
00:17:29vocal and very histonic is - historionic as Trump
00:17:33would say, but he never mentioned something
00:17:37even close to military actions or something
00:17:40like that just just to make the first point because otherwise we can start thinking although there is a
00:17:44chance at least you know could could be something like that and and
00:17:48there is no chance for that and and talking about the
00:17:51base the military base in in in the
00:17:54province of fuego that that was a project that
00:17:58started years ago and and now the president is doing
00:18:02is
00:18:04through a presidential creed
00:18:08is providing more funding to accelerate the construction,
00:18:12it's nothing more like than that. i think
00:18:16reasons
00:18:16to to keep in mind there is that it's very close to the
00:18:19Antarctica, the treaty about the Antarctica is
00:18:23gonna end in the next few years. so
00:18:27the Argentine position there is is critical too,
00:18:30and and and there is a you know strategic
00:18:34connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific they are so...
00:18:39"the reason the fact that we have now this
00:18:43special relationship with the US is giving us like an
00:18:46extra reason to accelerate the construction
00:18:50- but it was something that was in in in the plans and then was
00:18:54under contraction in the past in the last few years understood so you're
00:18:58saying Malay does want to see the Falkland islands become part of
00:19:01Argentina but he wants a diplomatic solution not a military one in which case
00:19:05let's take a look ' the history the Falkland islands and how
00:19:09it ended up in British hands.
00:19:13How did these islands in the far south the Atlantic
00:19:17Ocean become part of a country over 12,000 km
00:19:21away? Well, it's classic tale of colonial
00:19:23rivalries. The first recorded landing the Falklands
00:19:27was by an English captain in 1690 who
00:19:31named the uninhabited islands in honor of his ship sponsor,
00:19:35the Vicount Falkland. However, it was the French that
00:19:39formed the first permanent settlement over a century
00:19:42later. Not to be outdone, the British were close behind with their
00:19:46own settlement. Just year later, France sold
00:19:50its outpost to Spain, but the Brits soon withdrew from
00:19:54the area, needing to focus military resources for the brewing
00:19:57American Revolution. When Spain withdrew a few decades later
00:20:01to focus on their own rebellious American colonies, the islands were
00:20:05once again left unockup. Step
00:20:09in newly independent Argentina who took control the
00:20:13islands 500 kilometers to their east as one their first
00:20:17act as a sovereign nation only for the Americans to
00:20:21soon show up and destroy the Argentinian settlement due
00:20:25to a dispute over some seals. So the islands
00:20:28spent just 11 years under Argentinian
00:20:31control. In 1833 Britain
00:20:35returned for good. It expelled. the remaining Argentinian
00:20:38officers, planting the Union flag and developing a
00:20:42British crown colony. For almost 200
00:20:46years the Falklands have been occupied and administered by
00:20:50a population who regard themselves as British,
00:20:54but despite that only a handful of countries, including
00:20:57France, Canada, Australia and Turkia officially
00:21:01recognize British sovereignty. Sam Weston,
00:21:05given the history and the geographical location the Falkland
00:21:08islands, explain your argument for them belonging to
00:21:12Britain. Um, geography means nothing, and
00:21:15400 miles from somebody's coast does not give them the...
00:21:20right to claim anything, other than that we could still be claiming the
00:21:24Republic of Ireland, we could be claiming any part of France if we wanted
00:21:27to, when we we won wars there, so it doesn't,
00:21:31I don't think geography means anything at all, but history certainly does, and
00:21:35when Argentina has never occupied the place, what's the point?
00:21:39Argentina wasn't a country when we went there, it didn't have a parliament, didn't
00:21:43have a president, didn't even have national flag, um, was known as the
00:21:47nation of states, so I i think that... "before you go down
00:21:51the road, history has to be looked at probably, but I don't think geography
00:21:55is of any relevance at all. Dr.
00:21:58Juan, man, well, of course we have different position, and
00:22:01and just just I'm gonna let you know what we, we
00:22:05what all Argentine learn at school when we are
00:22:09kids, what we say is, we we had our independence
00:22:13in 1816, and just after that what
00:22:17happened was that the argent the..." country was
00:22:20organizing itself and and that's why we didn't have the
00:22:24capacity to be in all the points of our
00:22:28geography at that time, so when the UK took the
00:22:31islands, the Argentines were not able
00:22:35to to to defend the place at that time,
00:22:39because we were a civil war at that
00:22:42time that ended in
00:22:451880, so many, many years later, so the...
00:22:50so that's the reason why we didn't claim at that time we were not able to
00:22:54defend
00:22:54a place, but but it was heritance
00:22:58from the from the spanish lands
00:23:01or or or kingdom at that time, and that's a way in
00:23:04which we learn our our history, and and it's interesting when
00:23:08we talk about that, we said argentine, argentina is
00:23:12very polarized society, very very
00:23:15polarized, and we agree in two points, only two
00:23:18points, and that's it,
00:23:22so it's the only two points in which we we are pretty much in the
00:23:26same page, we think we are right in this point, but again
00:23:30we always think that there is a there is
00:23:34claim that it's going to be always diplomatic and
00:23:38never ever will make sense to do anything
00:23:42in terms of of of
00:23:43you know violence
00:23:44or or military action, dr juan, David and
00:23:48Simon Weston, thank you. very much for your analysis today, really appreciate that. well,
00:23:52let's get different perspective now, and James Granger grew up in
00:23:56Britain, but for the last 15 years he has called Argentina, his
00:23:59home, and he's now editor in chief at the only English language
00:24:03paper in Argentina, the Buenezaris Times and James joins
00:24:07us now. uh, James, given what Malay has just said over the last couple
00:24:11of days, I think is getting a little tense in your
00:24:13newsroom? uh, well, maybe not
00:24:17specifically in my news room, shall we say? I mean, 'I would say
00:24:21that definitely, you know, it's fair to say tensions of rising, this is definitely
00:24:25one of those moments that you get every few years where the kind of Malvina's debate, the
00:24:29Falkland's debate picks up a little bit more, but you know a day-to-day
00:24:32level, I would say I I really have no problems at all, and
00:24:36um, you know, for the most part Argentines are kind of anglefars to be honest with you, yes, and
00:24:40in fact, Malay is said to have picture of Margaret thatcher in his
00:24:44office, is that true? Indeed, I, well, so so
00:24:48I am told, I haven't been.' able to go in there, let's say my media company has run
00:24:51into some problems with Mr. Malay and his administration, but
00:24:55uh, he is definitely an angle, he has spoke on multiple occasions in
00:24:59the past about his admiration for Margaret Thatter and everything she
00:25:02did in Britain during her time in office, and no much more so than Mc
00:25:06Jagger, he's a huge fan of Jagger, and uh, Boris Johnson, the last time that
00:25:10he was in Buenos Aires, promised to uh broker a meeting between the two,
00:25:14if Milet went to London, which was a trip that was uh, scheduled
00:25:18to play take place this year. "we're now hearing that that's probably likely to be
00:25:22cancelled uh, let ask you about Mile's real motivation, you sort of alluded to some
00:25:26difficulties between your mediar organization and Malay, so I imagine you
00:25:30suspect he has less than pure intentions when he
00:25:33brings up the Falkland Islands or last
00:25:36malvinus, well I think it's you know it's
00:25:40something that is
00:25:41you know - the sovereignty claim is something that every Argentine
00:25:45believes
00:25:45in uh, it's something that's really essential
00:25:47to their national identity, I I
00:25:49like I like to say
00:25:49that there's you now three types of things that unify the argentines, one is
00:25:53barbecue, the the great famous asal, the other is the national
00:25:57team, the selection, and the third is the malvinus,
00:26:01every time i get a bus in is there is a sign
00:26:04saying las malvinas son argentinas it is a law that it must
00:26:08be proclaimed on public transport and you know it's really something that
00:26:12unifies the country uh so I think when Milet touches that
00:26:15issue uh he knows that he is something that is able
00:26:19to unify the country and it's something that previous presidents have done in the past as
00:26:23well Cristina Fernandezna was was famous for making similar kind
00:26:27of interventions and he needs to boost his popularity doesn't he's got an
00:26:31election coming up next year and at the beginning of this year he his
00:26:35popularity rating was around 60%, it's now say between 31 and
00:26:3838%, so has this given him a little boost in the
00:26:42polls? mean, we'll have to wait and
00:26:45see, i would, you know, it's difficult to say whether it will give him
00:26:49a boost in the polls, but his his popularity is definitely flagging, you know, mean we're
00:26:52going through some, the economy is a much more stable position,
00:26:56inflation is much more, much more stable than it was previously, though it's still
00:27:00persistent, and i think ' "you know, there are certain things
00:27:04you could say about the economy, perhaps it's going, it's a kind of two-stream economy, mining and
00:27:08energy, these types of things doing very well, whereas you
00:27:11know in industry, commerce, these things are down, so uh, in that
00:27:15moment, year out from the election, it's it's not a bad
00:27:19topic for him to hit, I think politically speaking, but the most important thing here is
00:27:23the is the Trump comment, it gave him the opportunity to seas on the issue,
00:27:26and um, and he can, like he is at the moment, he's trying to paint
00:27:30this as as a real victory. his diplomacy and as newspaper
00:27:34man do
00:27:34you find this story sells well for
00:27:36you? mean sure there's always
00:27:40traffic
00:27:40no doubt uh you know how much you have to say online when you look at
00:27:44social media these days his bots or not you know who knows but it's definitely something
00:27:48that's you know always interesting to the reader for sure and i think
00:27:52we are able to offer
00:27:53you know kind of unique insight you the fact that we're in the english
00:27:57language as well and how do you
00:28:01gain people's trust? out there is somebody who's you know born in
00:28:04Britain, clearly has a British accent, um, still have has ties to
00:28:08Britain, how have you gained their trust there
00:28:11as a newspaper
00:28:11editor? I
00:28:15mean, I mean that's a difficult question, maybe it's for somebody else to answer, but I
00:28:19think I've always tried to be transparent and up front in the way in which we do things, you
00:28:22know, when I first arrived in Argentina, people were really eager to speak English to
00:28:26a party, they wanted to practice, and like I said, they are really, they are
00:28:30real anglefars,
00:28:31you know, I mean the... British music here does amazing, I mean the football, the Premier
00:28:35League, these types of things, and really there are so many things that we have in in
00:28:39common really, I I always focus on that uh, and and I
00:28:43think people are always going to be open to to meeting someone that's new, and don't
00:28:47forget this as as so many other countries in the world is a country that
00:28:50is, kind of founded on immigration, and so I think people were always ready
00:28:54to open their arms and invite you to an Asado, family dinner
00:28:58and you pick your brains a bit, see what you think, well that sounds great uh James.

00:30:20people, including two children have been killed in Saudi Lad coalition air
00:30:24strikes in Yemen's Thais province, that's according to Huti Run
00:30:27Media, the attacks come as Saudi Arabia says, it will
00:30:31respond firmly to... the strikes that injured 13 civilians
00:30:35in three Saudi cities. The United Nations says fighting in
00:30:39Yemen has forced 125000 people from their homes
00:30:42since the start of this month. We walked on
00:30:46foot at night after sunset from Mokha to Babal
00:30:49Mandap. We were then told that the road was closed and that we had to
00:30:53return to Mokha. We appeal to the humanitarian
00:30:56organizations and the international community to intervene
00:31:00and provide shelter for these. families and ensure that they
00:31:04receive food, water,
