| 0:15.8 | Welcome to Navarra Live. I'm Michael Walker. No Arambasani this evening, but I'll be joined later by Helena, aka No Justice MTG. |
| 0:26.6 | And coming up tonight, Amnesty International has launched a new global campaign against the arrest of people protesting the prescription of Palestine action. |
| 0:36.6 | They're asking people from all over the world to email British prosecutors. We'll also weigh in on the debate that's currently |
| 0:43.5 | raging around inheritance tax. And there's lots of talk, including from Sam Altman, that the AI bubble |
| 0:51.0 | might be about to burst. What does that mean for the economy? What does that |
| 0:56.2 | mean for the technology? What does that mean for us all? Stay tuned to find out. And of course, |

| 1:56.3 | Be in no doubt that this is irrefutable testimony. |
| 2:02.7 | It is a famine, the Gaza famine. It is a famine, the Gaza famine. |
| 2:06.7 | It is a famine that we could have prevented. |
| 2:14.9 | It is a famine that hits the most vulnerable first, each with a name, each with a story, |
| 2:22.3 | that strips people of dignity before it strips them of life, that forces a parent to choose which child to feed, that forces people to risk their lives to seek food. |
| 2:32.4 | It is a famine that we repeatedly warned of, but that the international media |
| 2:39.3 | has not been allowed in to cover the bear witness. It is a famine in 2025, a 21st century famine, watched over by drones and the most advanced military technology in history. |
