concerned particularly about the south gate, which is one of the main entrances which is controlled by the taliban. and also the north west area, the holding at pension pixel station area. we went down there yesterday where the telephone had taken control of that area just yesterday and it was very tame. they were very concerned. they said to us, i still is still a problem. and we're trying to push people back, we're worried about you being here would like you to leave quickly. they put barbed wire across the road because they were trying to use it as a barrier to stop crowds getting close. but still still people who are arriving regardless of the threats of isolate and any checkpoints with helemano putting in place. alas, british military flight has left cobble, carrying the caves, remaining diplomats, and troops out of the dentist on. it ends nearly 20 years of british military presence. a final flight for afghan civilians left earlier on saturday. hundreds of people are entitled to reset limit u. k. been left behind. hurricane ida is expected to make landfall on the us gulf

in the joint hearings of the house select committee to investigate covert arms transaction with iran and the select committee on secret military assistance to iran. and the nicaraguan opposition will come to order. congress began to address what they perceive to be an insanely out of control series of covert actions with little to no congressional oversight. we eventually, blank, lethal weapons to terrorists, nation involving the u. s. government in military activities, in direct contravention of the law and lying to the congress. now i believe that democracy cannot revive that kind of abuse. and

people like dick cheney and donald rumsfeld, who were relatively new to government at the time, did not like when congress had, we need to step in and confront the national security state. and what's become a very out of control pill program cheney then went on during the reagan years in the eighty's to serve in congress. and when the iran contra scandal broke out into the open, chaney did not like congress being involved with anything that the executive branch was doing. and you had the 2 others handle that emanated from the highest echelons of power. and the reagan administration was acting as though it had nothing to do with it. i've told you all that i know and you know, the truth of the matter is for quite some long time. all that you knew is what i told you. it was our witness this morning is mister robert mcfarland, the former national security adviser to the president. mr mcfarland. we welcome you

to the committee and we look forward to your testimony. mr. mccall, and did you have any discussion about the possibility of an effect farming out the whole contra support operations in nicaragua to another country which will cor country one? yes, that's correct. and did you, in fact, succeed in obtaining money from another country, which will cor country toe the that's correct. ah, i had the practice of meeting periodically with the official from country to about assistance. we could provide some cases arm or sales. and he intended to provide a contribution of a $1000000.00 per month to the contras through the end of the year. you have no

problems working with us. we have no problem working with the united states government. and unless it does not work for the government, then i think we have a big problem. there have been a case when some question that a, you know, well thank having those occasion was not in connection with ah, i think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run foreign affairs. united states means advance have been characterized by some pretty strong statements. we've heard talk of a grave constitutional crisis and even been treated to talk about a coup in the white house. not only does cheney sort of defend around contrast, but he argues that iran, contra is actually a model for how the u. s. should be conducting its national security policy. he is

a radical subscriber to this notion of the unitary executive effectively. what you're doing is saying on certain parts of american policy, we don't have a democracy. we have a dictatorship. as a matter of fact, i was very definitely involved in the decisions about support the freedom fighters . my idea to begin with. in my opinion, there is no justification for further restrictions on the power and flexibility of future presidents. ah, the national security lead today is mostly composed of people who hit the revolving door multiple times during their nation. richard, be chinese to be secretary of defense, is can they make a name for themselves in the private industry? and then they come into the go. this revolving door keeps the national security leave very small and very wealthy and increasing as well as it goes up the chain to

the extent that then when you get to the top, as cheney did, then you can become a member of the flu talker. see that runs the country to this is an impressive crowd to have. and have morse cheney commission to study by halliburton to find out how much more of the defense department could be privatized . halliburton, proud to serve our troops. albert was elated to get this $1000000.00 contract and of course returned a verdict that oh mister secretary, lots more of it can be privatized. um, dick cheney leaves the defense department and goes and had halliburton himself. and he spent the entire 1990 s, building up the halliburton war empire. well, if we're going to talk about star wars, we might as well invite darth vader. happy

to accept it. then he comes back into power as vice president. and then they start hiring halliburton to, you know, in advance even of us troops going into iraq, halliburton. so now when equipment was being deployed to the golf, it's hard to, to look at this and not say, these guys had a very long term plan for how they were going to increase the powerful infrastructure of private companies. what we've essentially done is to create a network of corporations that have the fire power of small nation states that could, you know, over throw some small governments around the world. in essence, we, in the united states have privatized the ultimate public function. ward

you know, bombs got a time limit, delay food, emissions. i've got to know so by that through the iraq, the f sixteens and i say teens were firing 6000000 dollars within seconds, coming back re army and going up again. there is no hope of any more because there's always a small cobble of people for more is really, really good. it doesn't matter that we're losing the war and gaston,

alabama, careless for them. good for profit. me the me. i don't want to show the, well we've undergoing a corporate qu data and slow motion to call port john austin, salt 35000 lobbyist, washington. they write the legislation,

they write the bills. all it takes is one phone call from somebody on the hill to someone in the pentagon saying, hey, turn on the dogs, the hills out to get our program. the guys in the center on on board, we need you to turn on the gucci. shoot guys to straighten this thing out the gucci . she guys being the lobbyist. and what this does is just lock the system up and that's the whole name. and again, it is called political engineering. and unlike political science, political engineering is real. me one of the most important things to understand it essentially creates what we call a self looking ice cream cone. ready and it's like a perpetual motion machine. forgetting ever increasing defense budgets, the way we do it is by downplaying the future consequences to start a new weapon, we over promise its performance under promises cost. we then systematically spread dollars, jobs and profits to many congressional districts as quickly as possible so that

everybody has skin in the game. ah, the people who are invested in this state are people like the largest defense contractor in the world, lockheed martin. they will die before they see go while the going to change the world. next. we're probably already working on it. a good margin basically give soon like your last suppliers and listeners tentacles, you know, in all branches of the government. and then the ellen. and that's how they make them. i feel like i'm going to school was fiscal year 1999, 2.3 trillion missing fiscal year, 2001 point. one trillion missing the pentagon is claimed year to year that the reason that can't account for the money is because it's computers don't communicate

with each other. one trillion $1.00 bill dak tie would reach nearly 68000 miles into space. one 3rd of the way to the moon. i got a phone call from the of the i thing that i was a target of a death rick. and that's what happens when you go against the big boys who had the contract today to make those systems communicate with each other and how much have the tax payers paid for them. there are times that corporations do things they should not do, in which case they tend to be suspended for some period. there are times then the corporations can get out of the penalty box. it was never in the penalty box. if you could proceed to my 2nd question, please, the. the 2nd question i forgotten what the 2nd question was.

individuals operating in the shadows and never having their names called are able to leverage the power of the military and the foreign policy apparatus for their own personal pecuniary ends was now who's the enemy? how do we justify all the settings, all displays all this bullshit. what better new enemy done, and i pathetic go. invisible enemy called the war on terror. the

event in madison. then yellow mysteries are so young. but of the i don't know those who need to know but she did. she, me, buddy territorial, not too many gamma one or middle. so then you know, this which i really don't need any assistance in missouri. i'm credit, she knew better the, you know, you for the money in federal money on my feet. are we seeing the service in, in the she those from the use for

them in more issues to get the we and i can see on the get going to be on the i think of the most basic level when we realized how we entered into a permanent state of war like when often proponents of counter terrorism on a global scale thinking there's a long war, but a war without end, something like that. and i think that what we've accepted is a political regime that is sustained by fear is a very old very old political tactic. i mean machiavelli,

us and the prince is better for the prince to me theater. loved. and his conclusion is because the locus of fear, the, the source of fear resides in him, in the prince. it can be constant for his rule, whereas the locus of love resides in the people. it's in their power. and so for them could be constant and long lasting mean. so, marquee valley already opens a question that he, he probably doesn't provide us the answer with, what would it mean to have our social arrangement, like the basis of our social choices be founded on love. i don't think one has to justify the cost in nature or the national security state . one just has to keep the people fearful enough to support it. but what i want to bring to your attention today is the potentially much more sinister nexus between iraq and the kite a terrorist network. every word in that speech was gone over by the director of

central intelligence and his deputy directory after we slept. so it's nothing that i made up, it was nothing that i stuck in there, and in fact, some people tried to stick extra things in there that the intelligence community wouldn't verify with multi sourcing. and i said no, active rec, powell grab me physically, which was unlike him and drug me into a space at the ca, at langley, and said, throw all the material in my presentation about terrorism out, cut it out out this amount. this is just within an hour large tenants, the director of central intelligence made a spectacular bar michelle presentation. we have just to learn from a high level al qaeda operative under interrogation about significant context between baghdad, mood of rot and al qaeda. this was devastating. here's the director of central intelligence telling the secretary of state that he

has interrogated evidence. ready while the secretary turned to me and said, put it back in how kite continues to have a deep interest in inquiring weapons of mass destruction. as with the story of the car, we and his network. i can trace the story of a senior terrorist operative telling how iraq provided training in these weapons to al qaeda. later i learned that that was shake al libby that it happened just instantly happened is it happened months before that he'd been water boarded in egypt. 20 did this, no us personnel were present and he had recanted within a couple of weeks. and we never were told about that. every statement i make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. these are not assertions. what we're giving you our facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence. we were indisputably, we were lied to at this hour,

american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free to people, and to defend the world from great danger. as karl rove famously said to this reporter, you guys a reality based communities. we make reality by the time you figured out what's wrong with our reality, we moved the creation of another reality. did you sell or cause to come into the possession of saddam hussein? weapons of mass destruction? did the united states yell to him? absolutely. none of the run around such a scale. i was only run inside and i went down to the back when i was actually given a gas kit. and so let me take the train back. right all the way up to tear on. the carriages were crammed with iran and the soldiers had been ghast. somebody was coughing, wretched, and a one man was reading a koran, put a handkerchief white blood on his lips gradually to car those became permeated with

a sort of 36 smell. and i realize it's the smell of gas that they were coughing up from the lungs when i was going long, the carlos windows to clean the train out of the smell is obviously of chemical water after 2003 i was being attacked on radio shows especially from america, we all complaining about the american event you pro saddam and i said, excuse me. i was on the train of iranians, guessed by the iraq is. and the chemical components came from the united states. at the very time the, your rumsfeld was meeting saddam, you were meeting with saddam hussein. i think we have some video that of that meeting. tell me what was going on during this. where did you get this video from the iraqi? tell them this is from iraqi television. when did they give it to you recently or back then we've dug this out of the sea and in library, i see. isn't that interesting? there i am

with the our war on terror begins without data. but it does not in this war on terror is irrational. it's like saying a war. and when the series for office launched his investigation into the crimes that we were uncovering, it turned out that many of these arms deals had been forced through by tony blair personally. he's a dedicated arm salesman and once you start a war you open and kind of pandora's box. you don't control it, it controls you. i

did. good dennis and mad. did it. the bad better is that those in yemen who the united states deems to be attract the good terrorist and those who are inferior. the joke here is we've been there before. i mean, if you consider the amount of time story, nothing to do. if i say that the saudis are giving money to groups that are in the city and that not only but also the i s i s. people who say you want to come see

me american salary. we put $1000000.00 each to give them arms training equipment. we are the ones who cleared all those people to go. we a new piece, that's what we want. freedom and the doctrine that is endured from bush to obama is that the world is a battlefield. and that united states has the right to go into any country around the world to conduct what they call kinetic operations. lethal operations, regardless of what international law says, if you're a small state like we were for a 150 years, in essence these spain, france, angling and even russia. you've got to be exquisitely good diplomacy. you've got to be able to talk yourself out of lots of things and make deals and compromises and

so forth. but if you're the world henchmen you don't deal with anybody you smack and use your military smack of the ah, they wanted 43000000 pounds worth of weaponry. that was 6000000 pounds in commission. there was no hope of any more because there's always a small combo people for really, really good live in athens, we in the united states, have privatized the ultimate public function war shadow on al jazeera, we tell the untold stories. ah, we speak when others don't. ah,

we cover all sides no matter where it takes a police fin. if you guys are my empowering impartial, we tell your story, we are your voice. you knew your neck out here. ah, hello there. let's have a look at the weather for the middle east and the van. and it is largely hot and dry. temperatures across the region are where we expect them to be for lots of heat coming through, but there were some unsettled weather in the way of dust that's been kicked up from saudi arabia by those winds blowing and, and coastal areas of the red sea. so we're going to have a lot of dust around saudi arabia, q wait, and katasha will be plenty of hazy sunshine with that. now in the south, it is looking cooler thanks to those southern winds blowing across amman and yemen

. and for the showers. we have to look to the western areas of yemen, those join up with the storms and showers across that central band of africa. they're not as heavy as we have seen recently. we have to go further west for that . nigeria seems very heavy for the go into sunday, and for monday it's going to be benny togo as well as gone to that season with a very heavy rains. we could see flooding, you can see those yellow peaks, and it's not just here. it is farther west. it's library and sierra leone that seem to really wet and windy weather. we could see flooding with those intense rains. now for the south, for south africa, it has been feeling rather shinny, thanks to coo and that's kicking in. but the temperature is going to pick up in johannesburg with plenty of sunshine by monday. the think of some of the biggest companies in the world today. all of them big take with algorithms that they're called, the move that we use. the more data we pritchard. we're in the mit,

a great rates. the data and big companies around the empires are rising on a wealth of information and we need other commodity. in the 2nd 5 part series. 90 re examines where the corporations colonizing internet like to meet the popularity and power of text on a jazzy into the latest news. as it breaks, the storms spared the worst for a long island, which fear to direct it, but it's still whipped up high winds and high waves with detailed coverage. the government incentives are still still risky to send all the children back. not only for them from around the world, hundreds of children have been blown to women, abused by fighters. in addition to social pressure can only carry their religion if both parents are v in 2009, a tortured victim of the brutal argent time the delivery gene. confronted his interrogator. torture no, no, no, no. i wasn't trying to,

i was interrogating. has justice now been served for the atrocious crimes committed decades earlier. i do that to you were telling like an investigation into the dark history of argentina, or why didn't they told me in the end 3, wind interrogating? a torture on our 0 ah television scientists. that's on security around cobbler for the us more another i still attack me becoming the case. last military flights lead counsel take actually 15 times and afghans but hundreds are left behind. ah, hello, i'm how am i doing?

this is al jazeera life and also coming up when i got the strength and thousands of americans leave their homes. how can i approach it.
