very hard and also engaging with bought a bond to identify what are the gaps and the risks for having therefore to back up and running. but we would remain hopeful that we wouldn't be able to operate it as soon as possible with a new governmental face and economy. on the brink of collapse. prices of essential goods of living, food and few will have ford. while the u. s. is frozen about $10000000000.00 and national reserves mostly held the broad, nearly half of garrison's population already rely on aid the you and says it needs $200000000.00 to feed the most vulnerable this winter. and the world health organization says it needs medicine for hospitals, food from our nourished children and supplies for cove at 1900 measures. charl stratford has been one of the busiest facilities in the capitol cobble and said this, this report. we went to

a dialysis ward here. people being treated on dialysis machines, the doctor's very concerned. this in fact is a world bank funded project. they haven't received any money for about 3 months now . that means none of the staff are being paid. they're running very low on vital equipments and medicine in that department. one doctor said that if the people they're being treated do not get treatment on on a regular basis, they could die within 2 weeks. they also spoke about the fact that some medicines had arrived this morning, but only enough for a week. they were delivered by the organization medicine, cell phone chair, and they were actually for the emergency not the dialysis, not the dialysis department here refill scenes as well. one poor, elderly woman on a stretcher. choking on on, on her own blood in a terrible state. and the elevators don't work simple things like that. she was

having to be taken out on a stretcher for stories to the war to be treated so horrific. and worrying seems that we also went to the own college department. now this department is funded or was funded by the form of government a similar scenario that the budget had been signed off by the government, but they haven't seen any money yet. big concerns there that the tale bond, we're not going to sign off on this money for whatever reason, whether it be seeing that that money could be used in, in a different sector. again, salaries hadn't been paid. and death rates, mortality rates going up all the time. anyway, certainly people dying from cancer, again because of what people here say is the mismanagement of funds that should be put towards raising greater awareness. many of the people coming to this hospital with stage 4 cancer and in a terrible state. so the situation here certainly is this hospital,

and as you say it is the largest and that's gonna start is anything to go by the health between this country he's hemorrhaging. and there are serious concerns of the withholding of international money. could make things even worse. at least 22 people have been reported dead in the northeastern united states. after the remnants of hurricane ida hit the region with a record breaking rate. philadelphia was one of the cities that's been worst hit with flooding reported over a 400 kilometer stretch from maryland all the way to new york. the city of new york, meanwhile, is under a state of emergency us president joe biden has promised to bring aid to those affected by the store. well, those are the headlines that stay with us up next, the shadow world, it reveals the realities of the global arm straight. and i'm going to have more news for you in just under half an hour. i hope you'll join me then bye bye.

ah oh i, when we stumbled on the saudi alms directly, we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years. heinous punch found has been the heart of many of the great world events of the past 30. i was always pleased to see him when i was prime minister. she considered salary as a strong friend and would be willing to support the kingdom with whatever the kingdom needs and of discussion from their own. everything else was technical. he

explained to mrs. such that this was a deal with saudi arabia, and therefore things were done differently. they wanted 43000000 pounds worth of weaponry. that was 6000000000 pounds in commission. the vast majority of what most people understand is bribes. the, when an executive goes to bribe for an official, he says don't self look. i've taken a lot of risk to take this $5000000.00 that i'm paying to the prime minister of x, y, z. he makes an arrangement with prime minister of x, y, z, i'll hand over the 5000000, but you take half of that 5000000 and you send it to the following bank account and switzerland. i got nothing in money. i don't mind paying bribes to position. it's part of the deal. the thing about politicians is there are very much like prostitutes, but only more expensive from the 1950 s all the way through the

1970. the cia and the u. s. military were engaged in covert actions throughout central america throughout africa, really throughout the world where they were assassinating populous leaders. they were backing up right way, military winters. fun being an army desk was like the contrary, nicaragua, or a battalion $316.00. and there were the spade of assassinations across the globe. 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 ins. mm. in our war on terror begins with al qaeda. but it does not in

the very war on terror is irrational. it's like saying, a war on war. war on violence won't know, since you slipping into this possibility of confir picture war how are you re assuring us and we kept believing him because you don't want to think your prime minister is deceiving you in route to more than more serious when the serious wrote of it launched his investigation into all the crimes that we were uncovering. it turned out that many of these alms deals had been forced through by tony blair personally, he's a dedicated arm salesman with every was a dispute ever in government. he was not the onset of the serious fraud office got

to the brink of uncovering the secret swiss bank accounts by which b a was funnelling money to the saudi royal family. the swiss said we're going to notify the bank account holders band are flew to london, a bless swung into action. ah, he ordered the serious road office to close down their investigation. prince bandar said if the investigation continued, they would withdraw national security co operation, which would lead in the words of prince bandar to black on the streets of london. the story we've been banging away out for more than 5 years. suddenly everybody woke up to it because everybody could see was a huge cover up scandal. the spectacle of british prime minister closing down a criminal investigation present reasons. were you aware that your governor was approving payments to a friend of president bush's as part of the british?

aerospace is kicked back system. is that why you suspended a fraud inquiry? when tony blair started talking about national security interest, that supposed to be a com trumps or all other i don't believe the investigation is that it would have led anywhere except for the complete wreckage of a vital strategic relationship or our country in terms of fighting terrorism. in terms of the middle east, in terms of british interest that says things absolutely stunning. it seems to be a very expensive way of organizing broad payment as well, because out the military equipment and just turn out money. the le came to south africa, specifically to lobby that be the british weapons manufacturer, one the biggest contract on our deal.

and the option that they presented was 2 and a half times more expensive than the pain that the south african apple actually wanted be a system real performance. real advantage as mondell was about to step down from public life, his successor toggle, and he made the decision to spend around $10000000000.00. what were quite gas public resources on this weaponry that we didn't need rather than provide life saving cation for the almost 6000000 south africans who had been living with h. i v o a is the primary reason for those deals. was that around $300000000.00 in bribes were paid to senior politicians

and sadly to the african national congress, the a n c. my own party i was called in by a senior member of the n c's national executive council. he said to me, look, andrew, this is a battle you cannot win. because this money bribes, we used to fund on 190909 election. and almost immediately, i'm off to make a statement to the press that says there's nothing to investigate. so it's all in and i looked at him and i said, no, it's not i wouldn't be able to live with myself if i stop this investigation. but at the same time, i'm also realizing that this is the end of my political career. the head, this is a government of the sales people in chief of their countries, large arms contractors. and this is the template used by large defense contractors

around the world in companies like be not nice are effectively part of the government, but there is actually above the law. corruption is not merely a dirty little detail on top of the arms trade. it's actually in a lot of cases, what drives the international arms trade. many of these deals would not happen if they did not provide opportunities for personal enrichment. i would be offended if i thought we had the monopoly or corruption, the mean to rush out there for $26000000.00 every year. no, no. i thought i was being dragged down right to the last 2nd. i'm going to still

remind everyone that this cause of walk them is, can, i just say, actually called the record. but he said about iraq and jason, morgan is completely and totally untrue. i've never had a discussion with them. now. i'm not suggesting that it was a phone call between j people than in black. that's what happened with j. p. morgan and the consortium of other banks did. in fact, pro pop the whole iraqi economy to the tune of about 2 and a half 1000000000, not 20000000000 other than 6 months after he left office, blair from a signed by j. p. morgan for $5000000.00 every year. i was just trying to enlighten the public. there was corruption involved and not just bad decision making. but i'd like to find out how this gentleman managed to access the court. there must be a back door in because they don't go out for tea a time. and there was a court room directly underneath the court room. the play was in and it was left on lot. so i went through that run up to florida by the fosgate and then to the, to the door that called itself. by this time my heart was pounding like, you know, really going mad. and i actually lost my courage for the moment i went and sat down

in a low and a bathroom. i found the toilet that i did that she bring my mother and say, listen, i'm here. and what should i do you think i should still go in? and my mom said, yeah, go and you won't get another chance. and that's it. i mean, the augustine said that hope has to be from daughters anger and courage, anger at the way things are encourage to see that they don't remain the way they are. either way, really. the way you can serve 2 sets of principal is privilege and power justice. and the more you make compromises with those who serve privilege and power more diminished the capacity for justice and trust. and i think that the rebel seeks to keep those who have power fearful

color. they have been unable to re lease agenda for a while, but of well that if he has anti mac on those, we will see that potential with it available. probably a year slash mcduffy buffy was good. now we didn't miss him. why not? as would him salon the color? no, not come to my it can be it to me and hope on george bush. and i wish i don't cited them to bush work on the teacher already. how that i'm and who are putting piece. that's what we want.

freedom and who wouldn't want to think when i know where to huffy in a job or that like, and they get bought in the shop and he says, nobody would kill him if you want to watch the how would it be fully empty key. how about that one was i let me allow to be a diamond. how about that up? how will it's hard to hear julia george bush and telling us what i did not the emory country was what i can make some actually we had the develop it, but it was actually john nanette again let mister george bush, my lord. but it would allow them to join me

the well, i can know the whole and the sort of guy for us not its none at all. let me come pick up my i'm going to be a para for him, comes to the bottom of the bill to biloxi that i just know can know in just a d go on the move hammock. i'm

going to read you the sourcing of the time, the report paragraph, one of us authorities say, call them one still us officials said said one us justice department, counter terrorism official column 2 officials said to us, authorities say us official said those officials said the officials confirmed american officials complained they said us official us officials, crest column 3 us authorities said jordanian official said no last to please we haven't finished yet. several us officials said call them for us. official said, several american official said officials say say us officials, but us said one us counterterrorism official said i'm not joking where it is. that is the journalism you're getting fed. i sometimes think the times new york times to be call american official say i denounced the call to invade iraq publicly

veneer times issued me a formal britain reprimand, which is what you get before you're fired under union rules to stop speaking out against the war. i'd been the middle east bureau to from and i'd been in iraq, been 7 years the middle east. how can you come out of gaza and not be angry? what's been done to those people? how can you come out of the sudan, solid or dozens of other places i've been and not be angry. ah, i've seen the bodies a lot of children, which i can't forget the me especially haven't done it for years and in the

a 1000000 and alone and that's what kills people. i fully get why people blow their brains out. it's really how and i don't use love the kind of hallmark multi we all got to love each other. i'm saying that the only way you're healed from those experiences is by re establishing a connection with that kind of power with another human being. and if you can't do that, you don't survive and i have friends who couldn't do it. they're out here anymore. it's the you know, the power of love to transcend time looks like a g, a u b to alpha 38 that we used to have on our loaches

a mini gun that fired 4000 rounds per minute at one of the manifestations of the national security state especially in the, in the sort of apple j it's arrived at today is that it destroys diplomacy. it destroys the will to diplomacy and it destroys the skill for diplomacy. you're wrong if you're a small state, like we were for 150 years, in essence, these are these spain, france, england, and even russia. you gotta 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 edelman, you don't deal with anybody, you smack your military, you smack them on may 3rd of 2000 and the ambassador

of switzerland to delivers a letter from yvonne to the united states. in that letter, the volumes esentially offer negotiations to open up the nuclear program for full transparency. the proposal came in. i happened to see it because coffee was also given to a member of congress that i worked for at the time. he sent it over to the white house and called rove call road called back down. and he said that he found the proposal intriguing. he wanted to know if it was genuine, were promised to put it in front of the president. i would call karl rove a dear friend. i've seen a man of far sighted courage. put america on a war footy and protect us against a brutal enemy in a dangerous conflict that will shapes us 2 centuries. no form of response was given to the iranians at all. i'm grateful to have been witnessed

a history and the argument was that whatever could come out of negotiation with the audience, even more can be achieved by simply removing the regime and ross in a way to sum up the arguments. however, the principal in the bush administration said that we simply do not talk to evil and his tony's any said former central command commander. if you liked the rock, you will lobby wrong. that is a 10 to 14 year 3 to $4.00 trillion dollar invasion. at the end of which the world western asia will look not much different than it does right now. it will still be internal, still be in chaos, and 70 plus 1000000. iranians will hate our living gods. i was in the pentagon and i went to see the under secretary of defense. the idea is that wolf which shared

with me and surgery cheney in 919 to package down re tool and thought about them went to the white house brief people like presidents, america needs a new strategy or force for region change. so here in this idea, springs back up again in 2001. i went through the pentagon in november of 2001, and one of the general said, sure, i got this memo and i was going to go after 7 countries in 5 years. i says that a classified memo. he said, yes sir. we're going to start with a rack and then we're going to move to serial. lebanon, libya, somalia, sudan, and iran. i think it's highly probable the administration has already made the decision to go to war against iran. there already us troops inside iran. want to repeat that.

there are already us troops inside iran, the u. s. as long had its eyes and trying to impact regime change in iran. and much of what you've seen the us doing with regards to iran has been on a, on a cobra level. we've seen a report in new york or by seymour hersh that a us so are told in the us marines who are operating in the blue, ki, missouri, and curtis regions of iran. have you ever heard of that report? i've never heard of the report. i've never read the article, nor do i intend to do you have any christian as to whether or not you as the us ambassador. i don't have any interest as to whether or not us marines are actually operating in iran right now. i said i had not heard of the report and i didn't intend to read the article in the new yorker. if i gave you this article right now walked over, would you look at it? i don't think so honestly, congressman, because i don't, i don't have time to read much fiction. we have teams inside

iran and these include joint special operations forces. most the lead command unit is been given executive authority by the president and as many as 12 countries to go in and kill. we're talking about high value targets. they're operating now and they go into countries outside of the war zone. outside of that ghana, stan, and outside of iraq. but i'm telling the american ca, station chief, or the american ambassador, they go in sterile and they kill people to work and sort of the dark side, if you will spend time in the shadows intelligence world. a lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly without any discussion using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies. me,

the doctrine that is endured from bush to obama is that the world is a battlefield. and the united states has the right to go into any country around the world to conduct what they call kinetic operation, legal operations. regardless of what international law says, the, what is president obama's response to that? how is he going to deal with it? he embraced the very covert shadow forces that a decade earlier had only been talked about in hushed tones in the pentagon. not just as the implementers of a policy that said we should decapitate tara networks and engage in preemptive strikes. but they became the policy itself in oh, yes, lived the beach or the use ball is one of you with your right. i do not know and it is the joint that is followed in your life football.

my name is nadia is your development manager is absolutely big. is my you my, my on i'll do there. ah, i was just the right here to report on the people often ignored but who must be hurt. how many other channels can you say? we'll take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas. of course we cover major and global offend, but are passionate lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how, by and libya and her region. and so many other we go to them, you make the effort, we care in 1985 for young anti apartheid activists were murdered by south african security forces. if you've gone solve the problem by removing the guy, you could keep that 36 years on a family's quest for justice, reveal systemic resistance to prosecution,

and must all be convicted for taking my father away from me and exposes the influence. the former part i just stablished, still wielded in the new south africa. my father died for this of people empower investigation on al jazeera. ah hello and barbara sarah london with the top stories on al jazeera, the taliban is expected to soon announce the formation of a new government and of galveston. what form that administration takes could defined the way that the country's new rulers engage with the world. the taliban is also focused on reopening the cobble air force. as soon as possible, captains foreign minister says his officials are talking to the group and working with turkey to help.
