    America's Suez Moment: Why the Iran War is a Historic Humiliation | Silk and Steel

    In this episode of The Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha is joined by Arnaud Bertrand (French entrepreneur and geopolitical analyst) to dissect the astonishing developments in the Iran war – where Iran is not just winning tactically, but strategically reshaping the entire Middle East. The headlines are staggering: • Iran said weeks in advance: "If you hit our nuclear site at Natanz, we will hit your nuclear site at Dimona." Israel hit Natanz. Iran hit Dimona – twice. • Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a tollbooth – and countries are paying • Trump is now begging China for help – and getting ignored • The US just attempted a secret special forces raid to capture Iran's nuclear material – and it appears to have been a major disaster • The official story of a "heroic rescue" of a downed pilot is falling apart – hundreds of troops, multiple transport planes, and $300 million in equipment lost We break down: • Why this war is America's Suez Crisis – the moment the empire lost control • How Iran's tollbooth system will permanently change the security architecture of the Middle East • The failed special forces raid – and why the official story makes no sense • Why even the former CIA director says he trusts Iran more than the Trump administration • The USS Ford "laundry room fire" – Trump himself blew the cover story • How Europe is fracturing from the US – and why French kids now hate America • Why Atlanticism is dead – and what comes next for Europe Plus: The BBC's insane propaganda (then quietly deleted), why the Iranians are winning the social media war, and the one thing that could force Trump to back down.

    Justice Withheld: Fornethy Residential School Survivors Speak Out | UK Column Interviews

    Join Fornethy Residential School historical child abuse survivors Kellie Fox, Annie Gray, Jean Pirnie, Lynne Sheerin, and Carol Whyte in conversation with Professor Diane Rasmussen about the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service's withdrawal of its appeal to reconsider the "unduly lenient" sentencing of the former Fornethy teacher and convicted abuser Patricia Robertson, also known as Baxter.   As reported by UK Column News on 23 March 2026, after Baxter was found guilty of 18 out of 25 abuse charges in October 2025, she was spared prison time at her sentencing in December 2025. Instead, she was sentenced to probation, three years' supervision, a 12-month restriction of liberty order, and compensation of £1,000 for each victim whose charge resulted in a conviction. A video that includes the UK Column's interviews with Fornethy survivors about the sentencing, and concludes with a related conversation between Brian Gerrish and Diane Rasmussen, offers insight into how the UK's justice system operates in cases of systemic child abuse and how it re-traumatises survivors.   The impact of the trial and its shocking result has taken an understandable toll on these brave survivors. After years of sustained work, which includes a petition to the Scottish Parliament for access to Scotland's redress scheme for historical institutional child abuse survivors, they demand an apology from Glasgow City Council. The council holds direct responsibility for everything that happened at Fornethy and brought Baxter to trial. The survivors are now angry and exhausted. This is a prime example of how courts function in ways that obscure accountability for institutional child abuse that has occurred, and continues, throughout the UK.   These brave survivors will keep fighting to receive the justice they deserve. Likewise, UK Column will continue to support them and report on their battle for as long as required.   UK Column's complete coverage of the Fornethy Residential School case dates back to 2022. It includes written articles, videos, and news segments, and can be viewed on its website.  ► 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/ukcolumnofficial Follow #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

    China-Pakistan Peace Plan: The 5 Points That Could End the Iran War | Silk and Steel

    China-Pakistan Peace Plan: The 5 Points That Could End the Iran War | Silk and Steel ► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficial In this episode of The Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha breaks down the most significant diplomatic development since the Iran war began: the joint China-Pakistan peace proposal. As the US-Israel war against Iran enters its second month, Donald Trump is desperately looking for an off-ramp. Enter Pakistan's Foreign Minister, who traveled to Beijing to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi – and together, they issued a 5-point plan that could end the conflict. But here's what makes this proposal different: * It explicitly demands that parties refrain from the use or threat of force DURING peace talks – a direct response to the US attacking Iran twice in the middle of negotiations * It calls for safeguarding the independence and security of Iran AND Gulf states – recognizing legitimate security concerns on both sides * It demands an end to attacks on energy infrastructure, desalination plants, and nuclear facilities – all of which have been hit * It's backed by Pakistan, which has unique relationships with the US, China, Iran, and all Gulf Arab states We break down: * Why Pakistan is the perfect go-between (and why this proposal likely had US approval) * How Iran has blinded the US military – destroying AWACS planes, THAAD radars, and 13 bases * The USS Ford "laundry room fire" – more embarrassing than admitting a missile hit * Why sending special forces to capture Iran's nuclear material is the stupidest plan ever floated * The Gallipoli comparison: Why an amphibious assault on Iran would be a massacre * How Iran is now targeting tech company data centers (Palantir, Oracle, Dell, Microsoft) in the Gulf Plus: The AI-energy connection, why data centers in the Gulf were always a target, and whether Trump will accept this off-ramp. ► 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/ukcolumnofficial Follow #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
