no longer prosecute abortion cases. i'll just do as manuel rep hello reports from mexico city. what was decided by the supreme court on tuesday relates specific to one portion when segment of the criminal code of the mexican state of while wheeler, which criminalizes abortion. so the back of the mexican supreme court has ruled, that criminalization of abortion in court is unconstitutional. and in doing so, that's a precedent that will lead to the de criminalization of abortion nationwide. now this was a vote. this was a unanimous unanimous vote by the high court here in mexico and in broad terms. what this means is that mexico becomes a 4th country enlighten america to move toward abortion. d criminalization following argentina, your wife, as well as, as well as cuba, may not be a very welcome decision by many of the more conservative regions in the country. specifically, states like web log when i want to hi lease school, just to name

a few. we should also mentioned that to the archbishop of the catholic church here and mexico, even before the vote that took place in the supreme court today, had pleaded with the court asking them to reconsider this ruling that was made related to abortion rights. but having that said the wheels are already in motion, mexico now becomes the most populous country in latin america to move toward abortion. d criminalization. and this happens at a time where the tougher restrictions against against abortions are being put in place in the u. s. state of texas, that's right across the border from, from the state of while we love, which is really the center of this, of this ruling by the mexican supreme court. so it wouldn't be hard to imagine a scenario in the near future where women in texas could be seeking out mexico for safe and legal abortions. police in brazil of 500 gas of supporters of president tribal scenario, who were trying to saw the supreme court that unhappy that judges of back to an investigation into both scenarios. handling of the pandemic, the president lashed out of the court when attending and military rally to mark

oh i, when we stumbled on the saudi alms deal mom's deal, we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years. heinous punch found has been at 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 to consider 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, our most people understand bribes. the, when an executive goes to bribe before an official, he says to himself, 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 a 1000000 and you send it to the following bank account and switzerland. i've got nothing, it's money. i don't mind paying bribes to politicians. it's part of the deal. the thing about politicians is very much like prostitutes, but only more expensive from the 1950 s all the way through the 1970 s 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 hunters from being an army desk was by the contrary. nicaragua, our battalion 316 and 100. 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, our war on terror begins without data, 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 now, or you can reassuring us and we kept believing him because you don't want to think your prime minister is deceiving, in 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 on 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 that we're going to notify the bank account holders band are flew to london, a blessed swung into action. ah, he ordered the series for august that closed 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 a 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 has done. it would have led anywhere except to 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 he thinks actually at least times 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 black 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 plane 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 this weaponry that we didn't need rather than provide life saving medication for the almost 6000000 south africans who have 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 the n c's national executive council. he said to me, look angry. 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 i 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, 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.

i companies like be and i don't nice, it's actually part of the government, but they're effectively above the law. corruption is not merely a 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 on corruption trim. i mean by the rush for 20 it would pay $50000000.00 every year. no, no. i was being dragged down right to the last 2nd. i'm going to still remind everyone that this guy is a war criminal, but can i just say, actually called the record. but he said about iraq and jamie morgan was 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 consulting of other banks did. in fact, prop the whole iraqi economy to the tune of about 2 and a half 1000000000. not 20000000000 other than 6 miles off. so 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 tea a time. and there was a court directly underneath the court room, the play was in and it was left on not. so i went through that run up 2 floors 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 in the bathroom. i found the gens toilet, but i did not. she ring my mother and said, listen, i'm here,

what should i do you think i should still go in? my mom said, yeah, go and you will get another chance that say, i mean the augustine said that hope as to beautiful daughters anger and courage, anger the way things are encourage to see that they don't remain the way they are either way, really the way to return and you can serve 2 sets of principles, privilege and power justice and the more you make compromises windows, to serve, privilege and power. the more you diminish 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 reach lisa just for a while. but if that if he has anti mac on that we will see that potential with it available for the year. so i show it to free the free c was good. now, gentlemen, why not resumed salon the color? no, not come to my pocket. could be tillman hope of george bush and washington, cited them in the college of bush con 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 i know it to be in a job. wonderful weekend or that like and these kids, but in the shop and he says nobody would kill him if you want the how would it be fully empty key. how about that one was let me allow to be a diamond. how about that up? how will it's hard to hear julia george bush and tenant that i thought i did not the 11 to come to was what i can mix and actually we had the end and then look at it. but it was actually john nanette, again let miss george bush, my lord, bear with me

the whole time. well, i can know the whole and the sort of guy and it's none subtle that me can run about or my going to be me does it had honor that comes to tell me about it? so what, what are the building blocks that i just know can know in just the d dawning moving hammock? ah, i'm going to read you the sourcing of the times or a 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 call them 3 us already said jordanian official said no laugh to please we haven't finished yet . several us officials said call them for us. official said, several american officials 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 l a times new york times will be call american official say. i denounced the call to invade or publicly veneer times issued me a formal written reprimand, which is what you get before you're fired under union rules to stop speaking out

against the war. i had been the middle east bureau from and i'd been in iraq when 7 years, the middle aged. the how can you come out of garza 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 a not the i've seen the bodies, a lot of children, which i can't forget. ah, especially haven't done it for years and in the

hell is in a 1000000 in alone and that's what kills people. i fully get why people move their brains out. it's really how and i don't use love the kind of 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 out 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 to day 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 of 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's hagaman, you don't deal with anybody you smack and use your military and you smack them on may 3rd of 2000 and the ambassador of switzerland to, 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 a copy 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. he said that he found the proposal intriguing. he wanted to know if it was genuine, were any promise 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 footing and protect us against a brutal enemy and a dangerous conflict that will shape this new century. no form of response was guaranteed, 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 in iraq. and some of the arguments. however, the principle 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 wanted to see under secretary defense. the idea is that wolf which shared with me and charter 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 in 2001. i went through the pentagon in november, 2001, and one of the general said, sure, i got this ma'am on which we're 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 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 his eyes, so i'm 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 are us. so i told them the us marines were operating in the blue sky, missouri and kurdish 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 interest 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 of lead command unit. it has 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 a 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 sterile and they killed people to work and sort of the dark side, if you will spend time in the shadows, the 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 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 momma'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 discover a world of difference determination. i'm coming down. we are moving the freedom plan. so the 16 people corruption and compassion,

the just 0 world selection of the best films from across our network of channels. the right here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be hurt. how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas. of course, we cover major global events, but our passion lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how was fine libya and her region. and so many other. we go to them, you make the effort, we care it's one of the world's most powerful and dangerous criminal enterprises. central to the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people and behind the death of many more. exceptional access to some of its key players reveals the inner workings of an organization telling the name to many as

the blood alliance. inside this, in a la carte house taught one of the key parts investigation, people and power on al jazeera. i again, adrian, i got a hearing. the headlines on i was here at the taliban as ne, the transitional government for afghanistan, the most powerful positions have been given to men who dominated the 20 year war against the us. led coalition at its afghan allies. telephone a forces of 5 warning shops to disperse women protested in campbell. they were calling for greater representation in the new government and for their wives to be respected.
