a reelection but with an even smaller government. and he actually can use this crisis to his advantage by created ng or a state of emergency which will hold him in power for some time to go without opposition how likely do you think it is that the u.s. will intervene but we see the united states back in iraq well the forces that have been announced today the two hundred seventy five marines that's expected they will go in to protect the embassy and u.s. embassy in baghdad is the largest that they have anywhere in the world it's a huge compound so that's why they need that kind of number there also u.s. forces all around in the area particularly great. so there are but i really doubt that one any intervention by the u.s. even in significant numbers can really achieve anything i says is now

a very well trained militia it has dealt with the syrian army and other militias and it has grown in force and managed to get support from a number of sunni. iraq he's in the north because of the neglect shown by money so they've got some kind of they have some kind of support base. if you will but whether or not the u.s. will will be able to fulfill what they set out to achieve when they get involved in in foreign missions is certainly not a meter of whether or not they'll do it or not is this something washington can honestly say was unpredictable that the country would simply fall apart. well the country has risked falling apart really has it ever really recovered my question has remained in a in a mess for quite some time the numbers of that is just i'm
2:02 pm
a matter of numbers but really terror attacks bombings have continued long after the us left and declared peace or democracy in iraq. could stand where oil most of the oil is produced is semi and dependent these days even though they were these rebels took over mosul but ultimately i really don't think that of regular army can achieve much against a militia force of this type where they really don't care if they die or not that's the other factor so you've seen the terror they've also caused the population with their images that this is the same group that crucified people in syria. just a few weeks ago they will stop at absolutely nothing there that they're absolutely brutal to the point that even al qaeda central has repudiated them out so i hear he . has asked. in syria to fight them i don't know it
2:03 pm
sounds as if there's a direct link but. essentially this is a group that's gone to violence even for al qaeda hideouts under bruno mazed expert and contributor to geo politics dot com thank you so much for being in the know you're welcome thank you when news just in for us this hour the body of a sound engineer from t.v. channel has in fact been found on the scene of army shelling in ukraine's in battle this is according to rebel fighters of course earlier information was that this journalist reporting was in hospital fighting for his life his colleague died after wounds from being hit by a cell from kiev's army going to take a short break and i'll be back day in the not. mum.

not allowed to leave their hometown movement in gaza and the west bank is frozen what's happened. story is carried out through kidnapping of three israeli teenagers we know that for a fact the teens were reportedly hitchhiking they disappeared in israel has thrown literally all its forces to find them at an israeli writer joins me now live from washington thanks for being with us what do you think israel is sore that hamas was behind this and where as we're hearing will do whatever it can to find these missing israelis. well i think it's a tickle of the view that they need to call other people terrorists where he had this he runs this entire terror up operation against the palestinian and has been doing so for years palestinians of in living under a brutal regime that is governed that is that is headed by netanyahu and his and
2:07 pm
his generals god people in gaza are starving and thirsty for water palestinians in the west bank are being brutalized children are being kidnapped thousands of political prisoners hundreds of them on hunger strike and now israel passed a law to to force feed them so forgiving that they now to talk about terrorism is really quite cynical. and now this overreaction this over the top reaction in trying to find these three young israelis again is quite typical of the brutality and the terrorist mindset of these really military and basically the israeli government i just want to take a listen you listen to the well to what the i.d.f. spokesman told r.t. about what's going on just to put that into context in the last year interval the israeli defense forces have prevented sixty incidents over sixty incidents of abduction sixty incidents they say hamas has done this before how do you respond to
2:08 pm
that. well i think he's lying i don't believe it the the the brutality and the responsibility for the brutality and the violence that takes place in the west bank and gaza and other parts of the country are the directly a result of the israeli policies there to expect that israel can maintain such a brutal regime and not have any kind of consequences that israelis will have to pay is absurd now these three young men as we know were students at a universe of a high school this is the breeding ground for the worst kind of fanatic terrorists that later on terror palestinians mostly in the west bank through the through the settlements of the cities and towns in which they live. and again pointing the blame on the palestinians first of all we don't really know the hamas i don't as far as i know nobody's taking responsibility for this. but pointing to the victims
2:09 pm
pointing to the palestinians as responsible for what takes place in the west bank is absolutely a lie and it's a very cynical way of approaching this issue the direct responsibility for what happened to these boys and what happens to thousands of palestinians on a regular basis for years now the birth is this is on the state of israel is on the israeli government an israeli military force pilot israeli writer and peace activist with us on the line from washington thanks so much for your comments tonight in the now i want to keep the conversation going get some more thoughts on this spokesperson for americans for peace now already near and joins us now live from washington as well thanks for being with us again this has clearly escalate into something more than just a search operation what's your take. without a doubt what we're seeing here is is the mushroom of an incident that could have been just there just an incident into something broader and i think what is happening is that this comes of the very sensitive time. after the p.l.o.
2:10 pm
has. them a certain alliance with hamas and alliance that is anathema to the israeli government and i think of what the israeli government is trying to do is to take advantage of this timing of the circumstances obviously to both the game as much both militarily and politically in terms of its relations with hamas in other words what it is trying to do is destroy the infrastructure of hamas in the west bank perhaps perhaps we'll see how this plays out launch some kind of an operation in the hamas controlled gaza strip as well and politically what it is trying to do is prove to the world there cannot continue. and. really not continue. i think they seem to be losing some sound for you i'm to go try to ask you one more question if i can
2:11 pm
hear you well go on with our conversation or in your tell me this it sounds like you're saying that this is not about those three boys and girls not about to have it's not about saving and protecting israeli citizens you're saying this is something much more. it is something much more it is about the boy the three missing teenagers of course but what i think what i'm trying to say is that the that is what is trying to do here with the israeli government is trying to do is to take advantage of those circumstances and make some gains. both militarily and politically in its relationship with hamas right or in your spokesperson for americans for peace now in the now with us tonight thanks so much thank you. well the biggest world cup match for the u.s. in brazil might have been biden versus rousseff the american vice president met brazil's president for the first time since relations fell apart last october after
2:12 pm
an easy dropping scandal unfolded and seriously soured relations. with put together the top three reasons brazil most likely didn't score at this friendly faceoff with the united states brics stick together brazil and other emerging economies speak out about failed western monetary policies and of called many times for complete rehov all of global financial institutions like the world bank and i.m.f. brazil tends to have friends the u.s. doesn't like very much close ties with cuba and the late venezuelan leader hugo chavez have always put a dent in dialogue but the number one reason brazil might not want to score with america is after it was revealed the n.s.a. was spying on the country and roots of herself they didn't even say sorry in fact an official trip to the white house was canceled with brazil demanding a u.s. apology i won't hold your breath for
2:13 pm
a sorry we spied from joe biden the world cup is of course attracting a lots of politicians and politicians these days are attracting themselves selfies are becoming a trend among global leaders here's germany's merkel with her country's football star is russia's pm taking a shot of himself in an elevator i don't get it not just from politicians my entire feet is filled with lifts selfies by the way as much fun is made of medvedev he's the most popular russian politician online with over two million twitter followers my question is don't important leaders have better things to do than take pictures of themselves. i guess not that doesn't for me tonight in the name of selfies we took this one
2:14 pm
tonight before the show have a lot of a great night from in the now see you tomorrow. recently four hundred high level russian officials including duma members were someone for a three day military training event that would include the use of various different weapons and lectures about state of the russian military the stated objective of all of this was to make the average soldiers in the army aware of the patriotic attitudes of those who can order them off to fight in theory this is a good idea but the reality is this kind of reeks that sweet stench of an empty p.r.
2:15 pm
stunt this is not nearly enough to convince the average grunt that the guys in power care about him as far as i understand it in the military they want to push people to break down their psychology and boot camp so they can make new better tougher more patriotic people and obedient ones as well the sort of cutesy who we can camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians and to be honest i think bureaucrats the world over have it too easy their lives are too comfortable heck all the duma deputies have these nice leather chairs and they have gold watches and assistants and all that stuff i think that if the duma deputies had to suffer through a military health for one month out of the year the corrupt comfort obsessed weaklings might get squeezed out of the says. stop this training for the elite is a good idea but it needs to be done right and brutal but that's just my opinion.
