and we'll do that working through partners and jose, the united nation systems and do it in a way that is consistent with, with the sanctions that remain in place on, on afghanistan, we've issued a license in recent days to make sure that some of the a to be facilitated. the united nation says that afghan ashton is facing the collapse of basic services and food and other aid is starting to run out. the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs is urge stone as to give more assistance ahead of an international aid conference for afghan as don on september 13th. charlotte bellis has more from com. the world health organization, doctors without borders, african bridge prison, red cross, all putting out releases saying this is really getting serious. and a lot of it comes down to money. the taliban. essentially, the wisdom community is cuddle funds, so the telephone because they sanctioned with you in sanctions,

but because going to some was running for the most part on international aid. and during us talking health care education, a lot of the staples that people rely on that's been cause there's been a hopeful a little bit funding from the will back from the i mean, even the reserves they ask and reserve bank their funds and new york are being frozen, so there's been a lot of confusion as to what's going to have been mixed in terms of how to get that funding resorted so that we don't see a complete humanitarian catastrophe here. that will help organization has already been saying in just one of the programs which looks it, but 2300 health clinics. they say 90 percent will close eminently. and last year they treated 30000000 people with 3 quarters of the country. so just shows you how dependent people here are on these programs on these international a and dorn is amnesty international says dozens of syrian refugees have been detained, abused and tortured by security forces since returning home. a report describes

violations against 66 people, including 13 children. it says 5 are still in custody, while the fate of more than a dozen is unknown. man, most shadow government has declared what it's calling a people's defensive war against the military rulers. the national unity government is made up of politicians deposed in the qu in february, it all on year. the, as this is a public revolution, all the citizens with me and mar, revolt against the rule of the military terrorists in every corner of the country. a guineas military rulers have pledged to release political detainees following the qu on sunday. on monday they bought officials from leaving the country to meet a colonel, mama de doomed by a summoned cabinet ministers and told them to hand over their passports. the world food program says it's delivered, it's lost a shipment. the e. c o, p is water t gray region. the government is denied allegations it's halting aid, but no food or humanitarian assistance as entity gray for more than 2 weeks. police

in brazil's capital, say supporters of president jerry boston had told down barriers during a protest on monday night. security has been heightened in brasilia ahead of major well is expected in support of the president. later on tuesday. both scenarios, popularity, ratings dropping and he's rallying his right when base. the disappearance of bolivia, 2nd largest lake, is leaving indigenous people in the area struggling to survive. like poor poll once covered 2 and a half, nelson square kilometers, but it's been reduced to a wetland. the american actor michael k williams has died at the age of 54. he start in the popular h. b o television series, the wire, the police say williams was found dead in his new york city apartments. on monday, this death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose. those are the headlines you're up to date right now,

and i just, you know, shadow world. ah oh i, when we stumbled down the saudi arms arms, we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years. heinous punch found has been the hall of many of the grateful defense of the past 30. i was always 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 most people understand 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. 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've got nothing. it's money. i don't mind paying bribes people edition. it's part of the deal. the thing about politicians is they're very much like prostitutes, but only more expensive from the 1950 s all the way through the

1970s. 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 for being an army. dusk was like the contrary, the corolla or a battalion $316.00. and. 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. ah, i our war on terror begins with al qaeda. but it does not in

a 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 the now are you leg reassuring us and we kept believing him because you don't want to think your prime minister is deceiving you in the route to more than more serious when the theory is brought 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, 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, found our 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 cooperation, which would lead in the words of prince bandar to blood 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 bout a criminal investigation presented beeson. 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 interests, that supposed to be a com, the trump, so all of it, i don't believe the investigation is done. 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 of the military equipment and just turn out money, the lat came to south africa, specifically to lobby the 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 air force actually wanted be a system real performance. real advantage as mon della was about to step down from public life. his successor toggle and becky made the decision to spend around $10000000000.00. what we're quite gas public resources on the 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 aids 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 a 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 over me. and i looked at him and i said, no, it's not i wouldn't be able to live with myself if i stopped this investigation. but at the same time, i'm also realizing that this is the end of my political career. the head 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. i companies like be and i don't nice, it's actually 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 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 of corruption from i mean to rush out there for $26000000.00 every year. i was being dragged down to the last 2nd. i'm going to still fe, remind everyone that this guy's

a walk him and can i just say actually on 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 there was a phone call between j. p. morgan and 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 bit nervous that day. then 6 months after he left office, blair from a signed by a 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. 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 2 years time and there was a court room directly underneath the court room. the player was in and it was left on not. so i went through that run up to florida by the fosgate. i'm in to the, to the door that called itself. by this time my heart was pounding like, you know, it's 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 actually ring my mother and said, listen, i'm here. and what should i do you think i should still go in? my mom said, yeah, go and get another chance and i think that's it. i mean, augustine said, that hope has to be from dollars anger and courage, anger the way things are encourage to see that they don't remain the way they are. way. the way you can serve 2 sets of principal is privilege and power justice. and the more you make compromises with those to 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 a gym for free, but af, well that if he has anti mac on one of those, we will see that potentially thought it available. probably a year of slash mcduffy buffy was good now. man's in. well, i don't. it's not as william salon the color, no, not come to my pocket can be used to me and hope of george bush and washington cited the middle seat of bush work on the teacher or how that i'm going to look at it piece. that's what we want. freedom and

who wouldn't want to think when, who know what to huffy, georgia, push them and the kids are that are like and how they get bought in the shop and they said it's not good, but i got him. if you want to much, how would you be following me at emily key? how about that one was let me allow to be a diamond. how about and how will it's hard to hear julia george bush and tenant that i saw the emory country was what i can make so much that we had the end up being developed on it. but it was actually john nanette, again, let miss george washburn. well, what do you think of allow them to

me the like you know, the whole and the the sort of the get a huge for us. none, none at all. and i me can about my going to be me. does it had honor for him comes to the bottom with the blue co bartley delegate and no con low in just a d dawning move hammock. ah, i'm going to reach 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 counterterrorism 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 so far it is said jordanian official said no last to please we haven't finished yet. the federal us official said, call them for us. official said, several american officials said officials say, say us officials, but us and who 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 l a times in new york times who be call american official say i denounced the call to invade iraq publicly. bonaire times issued me a formal written reprimand,

which is what you get before your fire 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 aged. the 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 salad 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, i mean years in the

hell is in a 1000000 alone, and that's what killed people i fully get why people blow their brains out. it's really how and i don't use love the hallmark multi, you know, we all gotta 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 not here anymore. it's the, you know, the power of love to transcend time like ga,

u. b to alpha 38 that we used to have on our loaches. a mini gun it fired $4000.00 rounds per minutes. 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. the wrong thing. 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 the wrong to the united states. in that matter, the wrong is essentially 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 colorado callback. and you 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 through century. no form of response was given to the iranians at all. i'm grateful to have been

a witness to history and the argument was that whatever could come out of a 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 is tony's any said former central command commander, if you like the rock, you will love iran. 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 to fetch the ideas that was for which shared with

me and charter cheney in $9192.00 package town re tool and thought about them went to the white house brief people like presidents america needs a new strategy, a forceful wish in change. so here in this idea, springs back up in 2001. i went through the pentagon in november, 2001, and one of the general said, sure, i got this mom on. i was going to go after 7 countries in 5 years. i says that a class right memo. he said, yes sir. we're going to start with iraq and we're going to move to syria, 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 us 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 i, 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 were operating in the blue sky, 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 for so most elite 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 back and san, and outside of iraq. but i'm telling the american ca, station chief, or the american ambassador, they go in there and they kill people. i love 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. so our intelligence agencies me,

the doctrine that has endured from bush to obama is that the world is a battlefield. and that 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 was 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 gauge and preemptive strikes. but they became the policy itself. in it was meant to be that day. did you hear the car was going on quickly? but a tragic attack stunned the world and the u. s. president, a guy came in and whispered something to the present ear. what did he just waited

for? the school children present? the events of september, the 11th defined the world. they grew up in just a huge moment. these are their stories. $911.00, witness on al jazeera, the latest news, as it breaks. the concern is that my suits forces are coming round on the mountain ridges. i try to surround this area in order to isolate school with detailed coverage, real power, fill live, and my how much sick he takes all the major strategic vision from around the world . the water rose so quickly at this new jersey apartment complex. it caught many people off guard. i can look my phone with my face. you can access your bank account with your voice. unique algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionizing the process of identification, biometrics, a fall from person, big convenience and seeming infallibility,
