This week's Global Research News Hour features an interview with prolific essayist and commentator Binoy Kampmark. In this extensive interview, Dr. Kampmark speaks from London, England where a major referendum is being waged to determine whether or not the united Kingdom should remain within the European Union or leave. Kampmark shares his perspecitves on a possible "Brexit" and what it would mean for the nation, and for the continent. He then addresses controversies around the major trade agreements known as the US-EU Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He dissects the current Australian election campaign, and he tackles the tragic Orlando, Florida shooting rampage, and puts it in a larger geopolitical and cultural context.
