In a troubled and dangerous world the West claims only it holds the line in terms of freedom, democracy, international security and justice.

Deepti is an analyst with UNIT, an international team working to bring peace to Ukraine. She sits down with Brian Gerrish and unmasks that false narrative.

As she exposes how UK, USA and European powers are stirring up slaughter in Ukraine, Deepti has been questioned by the UK Intelligence Services and banned from contacting many concerned politicians, professionals, academics and establishment names who work to progress UNIT's work towards peace.

Those same UK security and intelligence services have also banned this brave woman from being away from her home overnight.

Part 1 of Brian’s interview with Deepti discovers why the West is so afraid of the truth about the origins of the war in Ukraine. And why UK establishment is so afraid of UNIT's international work.

UK Column is an independent media organisation that was established in 2006 to investigate systemic corruption, child abuse, and advocates for accountability.

In this week’s banter, I wanted to know more about its two-decade evolution through changing audio-visual technologies and the persistent challenge to navigate censorship and maintain objective discourse.

57:56 Talmudic: AI the new Tower of Babel

China has gone from having virtually no world-class research universities to domination of global scientific output in just a few decades—but why have traditional university rankings not reflected this transformation?

In this episode of the Silk & Steel Podcast, Carl Zha welcomes returning guest Doggie (Han Feizi) to unpack China's extraordinary rise in science, higher education, and technological innovation.

With the use of objective research metrics—to include the Nature Index, publication output, and citation data—they explore how China's universities rapidly climb. Many Western ranking systems continue to favour reputation over measurable performance.

The conversation expands into China's industrial policy, innovation ecosystem, manufacturing advantages, AI competition, and what these trends mean for future global power balance.

In this episode:

• Why traditional university rankings may no longer reflect reality

• China's explosive growth in scientific research

• How Chinese universities climbed to the world's top tier

• Manufacturing, engineering, and innovation advantages

• The relationship between higher education and economic development

• AI, semiconductors, and the next technological race

• Why perceptions of China often lag behind the data

Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions, this episode is packed with statistics, historical context, and an in-depth discussion of one of the biggest geopolitical shifts of the 21st century.

54:53 In Case You Missed It: Stories spotted by Basil this week

Speaking with Patrick Henningsen in Mashhad during the six-day funeral procession for Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, British journalist Bushra Shaikh describes the extraordinary reaction to her presence in Iran: attacks from The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, Iran, and international and prominent online figures, with some calling for her to be labelled a terrorist. She characterises the campaign as a witch hunt driven by a fringe of the online right, suggesting her critics are unsettled that a Muslim woman they once shared platforms with at GB News and TalkTV cannot be deployed as a political weapon.

Shaikh challenges Western coverage of Iranian women, saying she has moved freely without wearing hijab, and describes the role of women as prominent in Iran. On the funeral itself, she describes the crowds which even the likes of The Financial Times put at 13–15 million in Tehran alone, and a public mood of grief mixed with fury at the United States and Israel following the assassination of the Supreme Leader.

She reports that Iranians she has spoken to reject the MOU ceasefire framework outright, distrust Trump and Israel entirely, and demand serious negotiation rather than a cycle of broken ceasefires.
