| 0:00.0 | The truth should be a good in its own right and end in itself. |
| 0:05.0 | Crucial in a democracy because otherwise without it we are unable to hold politicians to account for what they promise. |
| 0:12.0 | In war it becomes a matter of life and death. |
| 0:15.2 | And so of course we return to the horror of the current onslaught against Gaza which |
