@@williammuk886perhaps, but it is the correct opinion to hold
Mr President as a Jamaican I salute you … BBC has a negative story to spin … rise up your people against all adversaries, even the BBC
All Western media outlets push the exact same agendas, because their all owned by the billionaire elites.
To be fair, there are no good characters in this video. The president gave virtually everything to US oil corporations. This may end up like the Nigeria situation, where oil companies take the profits and offload the environmental costs to the country.
@xx133 Why can't the present government leader alter the contract?
Respect for the president of guyana by the way he sounds like pm modi 😅😅😅 he also gave best lession to BBC reporters on human rights, ' you Britishers don't teach us human rights.'
@@traycee2404 because they made a deal with the devil-capital owners. This is what would happen.
1. International Court of Arbitration. Capital rules the world. Capital owned have a system whereby they can sue a state for undermining their profits. The judges of said court are appointed by corporations. Honduras recently attempted to take back the drinking water that was sold off by a fa… regime the U.S. put into power-they were ordered to pay billions of dollars, amounting to more than their yearly GDP, in reparations.
2. US could overthrow the government as it has done in virtually every other Latin American country. The US and UK attempted this several times prior, namely after Jagan’s election. They eventually got what they wanted with Forbes Burnham who dismantled democracy and gave the west everything it wanted. He ruled from 1964-1985… and he was not nice, to say the least. So I’m sure they don’t want that history repeated again.
3. Without western support the country would have no way of defending itself against Venezuela. The fact that Exxon has stake in the oil means that U.S. will stop at nothing to protect the oil fields from Venezuela.
4. Capital wants to know that you play by their rules. If you don’t, they’ll pull out of your country. This ain’t bad per se, but having an untapped oil field off of your coast is like dangling raw meat in front of wolves.
5. Guyana doesn’t have the means to drill the oil. Only other option would be China or Iran-then you’re looking at a Cuban missile crisis event (China or Iran would need to protect their investments). Sanctions, embargoes etc would ensure. Also, Monroe doctrine.

This interviewer conveniently forgot that his country Britain, has been extracting oil and gas from their North Sea oilfields since the1960's with over 48 billion barrels extracted and 24 billion barrels remaining that will take another 35 years to extract. Here they go again, "don't do what we do, do what we tell you to do".
Don't forget Coal
What to speak of all the assets - material and human - extracted from Guyana, the rest of the Caribbean and all their other colonies over hundreds of years.
We will not forget Britain because it has looted my land India 45 trillion dollars left Land with famines more than 10 crore people means our forefathers were killed in India, these British partitioned India and killed more than 12 lakh people, actuals are more.

From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 532k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Wilson Louise, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape....
Profitable trading requires experience, a solid strategy,and preparation, which we lack, understand buy/sell ratios, identifying market leaders, and diversifying are key to reducing risk.

Irfaan ali rocked
BBC are shocked..
Greetings from Bangladesh
BBC are focked. Focked. That is the word.
BBC has a holier than thou attitude. Thank you Mr. Irfaan Ali for showing the middle finger to BBC
Are you ignoring the fact that the whole point of the show HardTalk, which the President agreed to come on, is to ask uncomfortable questions?
@@abird955these were not hard questions, these were demeaning and patronising questions to a former UK colony. If he was questioning the US president he would not be asking such questions as if a black county can't cope with it's new found wealth without white interference or advise. Then to lecture of climate change? The UK chipped down most of its forests within the UK as well going around the world deforesting it's own colonies. It's trying to make the president look stupid in front of his own people and the world
@@roseanncampbell3168 Except you can look at his other interviews and find that yes, he does ask other world leaders these same style of questions, albeit some of these will have different interviewers. It's a series called HardTalk where the whole intent and purpose is to bring up such questions.
This isn't a debate, it's not meant to bring up a balanced argument and have the interviewer argue his point of view. Instead he is meant to challenge the President with difficult questions in order to check both the validity of his statements and challenge his belief, to which the President provided well thought out responses which demonstrated he knew what he was doing. Well thought out plans are not made through constant agreements, you have to ask tough questions and question your own beliefs in order to move forward.
Neither is it meant to make the President look stupid, otherwise the President would not have agreed for the interview to take place. You seem to forget that the entire interview was agreed to be filmed by both parties and that the BBC uploaded this video, meaning both parties were happy with the results from this interview.
@@roseanncampbell3168"If he was questioning the US president he would not be asking such questions" This is COMPLETELY incorrect. Go watch his interview with John Kerry, Biden's Climate Envoy. He presses Kerry repeatedly for answers to tough questions of US hypocrisy on natural gas and commitments to international clean energy funds. Why would you make such a confident yet clearly uninformed comment?
@@reiddickson I'm not interested in your reply. I live in the UK and know how these bigoted white people think about black and brown people. He used all sorts of coded racialised language to cut President Ali down and cause distrust from Guyanese who may watch this. End of
Interviewer came with an agenda but was swatted down by a very intelligent and articulate President. Had Guyana tried to scrap and renegotiate the deal with Exxon, interviewer would be there attacking the President for not respecting contracts and scaring away foreign investment. Great interview, Mr. President.
Hard Talk is a show where the interviewer aggressively questions the guest. The host is a dick to everyone to make them defend their positions under pressure.
Yep I really like this guy sounds smart and honest
@@SD78being agressive is one thing...BUT BEING UNREASONABLE, HAVING BIASED VIEWS AND BEING IGNORANT ON TOPICS HES INTERVIEWING ON...he's just a c#*t
@gregorygeorge2035 Yes he would be grilled even if he had walked back on the Exxon contract.
I am really loving this new crop of young leaders. They are kicking ass in Africa too!
Man speaks the truth.... Well done Mr President... Respect from South Africa
It feels satisfying to see
A) patriotic over arrogant
B)Wisdom over ignorance
C)Truth over hypocrisy
D)Mr.President Ali over bbc 😂😂😂😂
… light over darkness
Absolutely!
Great manifestation!
This is something the people of Jamaica need to learn because they are still very backward in many ways.
Much respects to President Ali for showing the true colors of the hard skinned colonial mindset of this BBC journalist.
I am from Bangladeshi I like the way the Guyanese president talk to the BBC journalist.
Your country will remain a third world hell.
And not because of the "evil colonialist". That's bullshit.
Love for Guyanese people from India and huge respect to Mr. President Dr. Irfaan Ali..
The BBC Hardtalk Anchor was very disrespectful and President Ali bravo for handling this anchor the way he should be handled!
Yes 4 real that ho w..a cuscasian talk to a non cuscasian...check out the other interview with Mr Ali and a racist intervier jump on him when he say uk govt need to apologise etc to guyana
Julius Malema in South Africa told him where to get off. Steven is a total banker with a 'W'
@@Sthmohtwenty
Ali is a boss.
@@Sthmohtwenty Please, don't bring up the raze card. It's had nothing to do with it rather them being from different countries (first vs. third world), hence the arrogant, snobbish and lecturing way of the host.

Dr. Ali for President of the Caribbean!! The way these people come and disrespect us on our home turf! Thank you sir, for putting him in his place! I am proud of ýou! We in the Caribbean are proud of you! ❤❤
Absolutely, he did set him straight Guyanese style. Good viewing that was. I'm pleased Guyanese are now fully aware & speaking out, of this external corrupt manipulative plague they've endured.
Im so sorry im from the UK, the arrogance from our elite is embarrassing, but they disrespect us working class in the UK too
our own country developed from the industrial revolution, we have no right to lecture anyone trying to get out of poverty

Good reply president
Brave man. Countries need leaders like him
The Caribbean needs more leaders like this. The British colonial mindset is still with the BBC. It’s okay for them to invest and use their natural resources but when another country does; now it’s a problem.
They stole all the wealth of the colonies..India Africa .the west indies.Guyana.
He is coming to our country and trying to bully our president.
We are not intimidated by you with your fancy accent.
GO HOME.
Yea and they like to use it to think they can push America around too. Trying to censor speech is a huge no-no in America.
As one climate investigator, Malgorzata Askanas, Senior R&D Associate at Aurora Biophysics Research, has said about the gov’t promotion of climate change as she pushed back on the widely propagated concept that there’s scientific consensus about “the harmfulness of CO2, about global warming trend, about the increase in natural disasters, about the melting of arctic ice”:
“These are all politically motivated dogmas that are buttressed by careless or outright fraudulent data, statistics, and arguments,” she said, calling the U.N. net-zero plan “fascistic through-and-through.” She sees the climate agenda as a way for governments to gain total political control and outlined several government-imposed climate remedies including carbon footprint regulations, carbon credits, skyrocketing transportation costs, and huge government subsidies for so-called green initiatives. Presently, some gov’ts are using these funds for corruption disguised as valid programs where they divert funds to political allies.
She continued: “Converting the Earth into a desert of solar panels and wind generators will still not provide enough energy. Although it might make the planet unlivable enough so no energy would be required.”
Another climate expert has called climate science a “failed science” as the questioning of its proponents and so-called experts, along with their absurd claims, has been discouraged or prevented by governments and main stream media.
classical western double moral and arrogance ... must come to an end.
Spot on. Former colonialist nations don't deserve any say on how other nations should run their countries.
100% Straight up a Guyanese. That's how frank and honest we are in our country. Thank you President Irfaan Ali.
Wish your the country the very best of luck and growth in the next decades ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Mr President, salute from Brazil! Hopefully our country will soon be led to prosperity and democracy like yours!
Brave man, every word gave me goosebump, Honour to the President, for defending his nation from hypocrite western media. Good wises for Guyana.
From Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
14:50 is what you are here for guys . Thank me by liking this comment.
The way he is pointing and gesturing his hands towards the Guyana Prez has never been seen. All the time he keeps his head down and eyes rolled up while asking questions. Have you ever seen one such interview with any European leader or American or British or any white for that matter? No ! You don't talk to a nation's head like that. BBC IS COMPLETE BS.
As an Indian I completely stand with Guyana❤
Exactly pointing a president like is minimum disrspectful, and the language he use stinks moralist arrogant colonialism
Same is the style and body language of Karan Thapar...
He is very disrespectful!
It's very weird to take this stance with this comment, as you can simply google other HardTalk interviews by the same journalist and see that his style and body language is the same across every single one, even in interviews that where not done face-to-face such as those during the COVID Pandemic.
For these styles of questions to be effective, you cannot allow one candidate to have more respect that then other, all are treated the same. Just because someone is the leader of a country does not mean the style of questioning should be adjusted, otherwise it loses it's effectiveness at being uncomfortable and putting the interviewee on the spot.
People spouting nonsense about a 'West vs Growing Countries' narrative as part of this interview seem to lack any form of reading comprehension nor research skills, as the interviewer is not trying to shame or belittle the President, rather to put pressure on him to make sure answers given are not something he rehearsed for.
@@abird955 That's a load of bull. The interviewer should also researched the other side of the coin so it wouldn't sound so biased if climate change is to be the concern. Even if he has the same mannerism in all his interviews, it was still improper to act like that as it shows pretentiosness on his part. This is an interview, not an interrogation so spare me with your "putting pressure". He came to their country and therefore he should show some respect. No wonder journalism is dying all across the globe. They're just activists pretending to be journalists.
Mr. Irfaan has just EATEN the super-unpolite interviewer. So good to see someone with balls in an interview like this one. Cheers for the brazilian neighbors.
The words arrogant elitist should be inserted behind unpolite.
And how's the Amazon rainforest is doing in Brazil?
This was a great interview...after all its called HardTalk....Dr. Ali really held his own...
This man deserves a standing ovation 🔥, Salute
Perfect slap on British Journalist.
Dr Irfaan Ali is 43 years, unlike others who have one leg in grave and worship power, the future of the country is his priority.
Born to do this!
From Egypt, I just saw the video when Dr Irfann taught this uk journalist a lesson, good president
From India 🇮🇳 ❤
Black American here.. I loved everything about this❤❤. Please continue to fight against these disproportionate narratives. When they do it, it's necessary; when we do it, its harmful. Smh. Bravo Mr President 👏🏾
Well said friend ❤
It's simple: the developed world has already made their money from extracting oil. Now they've made their money, they want to tell developing countries they need to stay poor and focus on the environment. It's hypocrisy at it's finest. You don't want them to drill? Then pay them the same amount of money they'd receive from Exxon or shut your mouth.
I must say - you Americans are way too obsessed with race. We are all just people. I think you'd find that most of your issues would be resolved by taking race out of everything and just focus on socioeconomics. Nothing about this story even slightly has anything to do with skin colour. It's a real shame of the American lens to see colour in everything. Peace! ✌
