3:00 pm
don't want to see more instability or terrorism but there is a huge disagreement on tactics you know u.s. is not. making it a condition anymore that assad leaves office but nevertheless there's still strong anti a sawed sentiment all right matthew we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking with dr. have that or an analyst and a former national intelligence counselor and we'll talk more about the challenges they today's world order stay with us.
3:01 pm
the memo has come and gone but this controversy is far from over the political bias of the deep state has been revealed and the legal activities exposed if anyone will be held responsible. despite it's tough going into history the soviet union i know has dominated international sport however this was not about the lives of those champions from the. right moment you're worth. more moved there with the ball for the think you're going to do with your brother this is for the lord your god what i wish was the most good example for you if you were to the first some of you to limp
3:02 pm
a team of nine hundred fifty two with some good seeds of life as concentration camp prisoners and frontline soldiers. maybe even though it's good to go from here with europe sure you get a much needed new ship because your first move but you're in for the one for yourself or where they're going to have a wonderful future you think that the area we're going to go with. the variations you'll push through for through personal bursting into shows you will know when you do when you're at the ocean we're going to be putting your work through with others here we are in the world now as you can we. here's what people have been saying about redacted and i say it's full of. the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know a lot of the really packed them. sleep yeah mr john all. for a hearty americans just the same as we are apparently better than blue things that
3:03 pm
i see people who have never heard of love right back to the night i'm president of the world bank hey i'm going to write he sent us an email. i'd like for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million. so it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so one more chance with. and thinks it's going to.
3:04 pm
cut off. and we're back with dr matthew barra's a cia veteran analyst and a former national intelligence council are discussing u.s. russian spat and other issues causing global concern and i think turkey a nato member waste currently attacking the syrian kurds who are here u.s. allies as washington going to do anything about this so are is it going to throw
3:05 pm
the currents to who are lying on and on to the bus i think. washing it is very concerned about turkey. where turkey is heading. so yes there are efforts to to or to warn turkey against its attacks but you know it is a nato member when there is an effort not to alienate for further turkey there's been you know tense relations between the u.s. and turkey for some time so i think the effort is to handle this in a very low key manner out of the public eye destiny u.s. and when have enough leverage to stop turkey anyway i don't think we have the leverage you know there is. i'm mean in the past turkey has taken unilateral
3:06 pm
actions that have highly displeased the washington. turkey believe he said the this is very much a threat. and you know in the case of any country that believes that they face an existential threat from some source it's very hard to to deter it from carrying out actions to eliminate that threat. now for decades you've been analyzing and predicting world crisis for the u.s. government how do you expect the turkish intervention to unfold and what consequences will it have. hopefully turkey doesn't mean that it's warning the us but does not. tries to avoid hitting certainly us first and now. and also.
3:07 pm
draws backwards on the its its actual. actions against the kurds. you know as i say i think this is a difficult negotiation but i don't think turkey wants to completely alienate the us pentagon has recently revealed a new us to fast track which sas that interstate strategic competition with russia and china is the number one concern for the us is terrorism no longer the biggest threat to america it isn't i mean this is a dramatic switch it on terrorism is still a big threat. and you know any u.s. president does not want to see a repeat of the nine eleven episode so we have been hardening our borders. and we continue. in the middle east and elsewhere cooperate ing with countries who
3:08 pm
are fighting terrorism and following also. the spread of extreme extremism in the u.s. or elsewhere to try to dan to any terrorist attacks but increasingly you know u.s. is foreign policy elite believes that we're falling behind china on technology certain technologies or that they're moving ahead on certain technologies. and they actually despite having lots of problems with how foreign policy is executed under president trump actually the foreign policy elite both republican and democrat would agree with those statements in the national defense strategy is to us and in fact abandoning the war on terror are
3:09 pm
returning to a cold war type of thinking and if so why i wouldn't say it's abandoning tolly as i talked earlier but i do think that it does worry that. it's margin i mean the u.s. believes if you go back to the past twenty years you know there was a period in the ninety's when the u.s. believed it was the unit polar power so clearly above every other power in the world and able to take unilateral action what you've seen in the last decade or two is the fact u.s. seeing china particularly rise very quickly and there is a warre on the economic side you know china is six seven years away from becoming the biggest economic power in market value terms so
3:10 pm
that is the concern i think were approaching in an interesting way another spot nick moment. as you remember in the fifty's when the u.s. worried it was falling behind the soviet union in technology development russia and china are cold revisionist powerset want to shape the world under their modelling the latest us to fan strategy so to me it sounds that an american mindset there is to american world to you which is right and there is all the rest which are incorrect or adversary revisionist and need to be confronted how can the u.s. exist in multiple reality with this type of uni polar mentality well that's that's a big difficulty and that's something that. i've been worried about for years because i think the u.s. is going to remain a great power in whatever sort of. world order we have
3:11 pm
but if it continues to play its cards. you know like it did in the ninety's believing it had was a unipolarity power and could do these things unilaterally and i think we. could be in for a rough ride because i don't think it's just china or russia but i don't think other powers want to see you know polar world with the u.s. as the top power now in your book the future declassified you say that america has to take charge and direct the needed changes in the world what about all the countries of the world that aren't excited about the american direction i mean do you think they should be forced into following america's elite no i mean i think way you earlier said about a poly centric world is correct and if you have
3:12 pm
a policy centric world then that means that the u.s. has to sit down with other powers and players in the world and we have to think about how we can work together we do have an enormous of a number of when we've talked about some of these shared interests so the effort should be thinking about how do we cooperate in dealing with the shared interests. so anderson and you're talking about the u.s. adopting a sensible strategic policy and going through with it but if we try to look at it from a non american point of view we see that since iraq invasion in two thousand and three american foreign policy has been impulsive and quite chaotic and focused on its own interests rather than the common one and has contributed to the mess in the middle east rather than solving anything and after two decades of this how can the u.s. regain the trust of the international community and its leadership ability because i mean so far and i repeat from an outside point of view it's not been ticket well
3:13 pm
i completely understand you know your view on it. and i think many americans would also share your view that the invasion of iraq was a strategic blunder and disaster for the u.s. and they were very unhappy about and that's why they the popularity of george w. bush went down in his second term but you know americans look on this is well we had good intentions we were trying to deal with what we thought was a threat of weapons proliferation. and in afghanistan we are trying to rebuild the country now that doesn't exist the good intentions doesn't excuse what it happened and the disrupt jund disarray that happened in the
3:14 pm
middle east but that is still how a lot of americans look on that the rest of the world is very focused on the disastrous results the u.s. public and elite tends to think more more about the intentions we're. seeing those is good intentions almost a decade ago. you set cyber security as a top threat now the pentagon has recently proposed writing a nuclear response to that devastating cyber attack into the u.s. military doctrine what kind of a hostile action in cyber space what merits a nuclear attack well i think in the in the. pentagon's mind it would be to disable. critical infrastructure so for example like the electric grid in the us or the functioning of financial institutions in the
3:15 pm
u.s. . now whether they would actually i'm not sure that even those actions. would. they certainly don't justify in my mind a nuclear attack but i am not sure if they would actually trigger one. because i think you know most americans are very scared about what would happen after they did a nuclear attack and that would be particularly against russia china or another nuclear power there would be retribution. on that optimistic note thank you very much. we're talking now to maurice and cia veteran analyst and former national intelligence counselor about all the major
3:16 pm
3:17 pm

3:19 pm
we want all. the politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to press. you to go right to the press that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the audience in the house. i sit. it.

3:21 pm

3:22 pm
and it shows the last moments of the pilot's life you know from what we can hear on the video the pilot had waited for the terrorist to get closer to him and only after that he detonated a grenade taking his own life and also avoiding capture he even managed to shout that he was doing this for his own colleagues that were fighting alongside him or his defense ministry has already confirmed all these details the details of the last moments of his life how he was fighting till the very end. major oman salute both foods and so the very last moment of his long forgets to know if it will mean a number of terrorists it was but. when it's it was. the version of so long with the hand grenade rushes defense ministry has confirmed him. from the ministry said that he was an experienced pilot and it wasn't his first time serving
3:23 pm
in syria now before that he was for several years in the region of russia's far east it was also part of a dozen successful military operations now the pilots plane was shot down on saturday near the province which is located in the north western part of syria which is still controlled by the latest incarnation of the terrorist group and other militants now the pilot was trying to keep the airplane the aircraft in the air as long as he could and he managed to object from the aircraft but then he found himself all over a. terrorist he is the weapon was found with and am. magazine and two others have banned now shortly after is that an unverified video appeared online showing militants taking selfies with the pilot's body and also being on the
3:24 pm
debris of the crashed plane russia has there already reacted to this incident carrying out strikes in that particular area and the ministry said that over thirty militants were killed as a result of these strikes. kilometers of rubble and ruination vost does that you strewn with countless bodies the state of mosul today six months on from its liberation video agency ruptly has been capturing images of the iraqi cities post islamic state reality warning you may find the following footage upsetting. how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred are there any more yes in houses and all their odds.
3:25 pm
are and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we're currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is. we haven't received any kind of aid since things finished in seven months ago on one occasion didn't receive a small box of. food nothing. our senior correspondent what our guys there witnessed the liberation operation and its aftermath as well he shared his experiences with us in a studio earlier today seven months since the battle of mosul ended they're still digging up people's bodies and here there's no end in sight i mean these rescuers work every day just this time we we film them and what's more you know we
3:26 pm
can't obviously show our viewers everything but this footage in particular is very distressing because it's always so when it when it comes to children but i was there when these bodies had just begun to rot and i don't the girl ever forget it was the smell it was beyond sickening beyond north you know there were areas entire districts in mosul where you could hardly breathe properly mother nature in seven months of course done the job but the smell hasn't gone it's still there it's just isn't as bad. on the surface truly the real heroes are the people doing the digging the people the rescuers that are sifting through all this all this wreckage and pulling out these bodies they're so desensitized you can see they're not even wearing breathing mosques or even even rags but then again they're paid pennies to
3:27 pm
do this hard work because obviously jobs are scarce in moves all. standing buildings and they're and you just described a traumatic and have rendered experience. and you found my notes of difficulties but were there any other problems that were highlighted when you with that well there is still a huge problem and that is unexploded bombs and they're mixed with all the wreckage the rubble the clothes the bodies the everywhere for example u.s. coalition jets bomb mosul some bombs failed to explode then you have shells mines isis booby traps suicide vest and one of those are still are still all over mosul and when kids are playing for example on wrecked buildings or when rescuers are digging out the body when homeowners come back to their destroyed houses trying to salvage what they can that's when those bombs go off and rescuers tell us every day
3:28 pm
they get several more new victims of well the battle of the battle of mosul but we were there from the very beginning from when those u.s. led coalition jets bombed isis in in mosul day and night then when it was safer we got a little closer to see what those explosions that really caused the price of the liberation of mosul. oh. you know the billion casualties are a fact of life in this sort of situation.
3:29 pm
do you agree that some of the the high level of i think ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shield they're going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding to the problem congressman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and they're exploiting that and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is imma come more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things we're doing although we will try. the neighboring street all but destroyed the street across rubble the street over there it's the same story wherever you look.
3:30 pm
there are still countless bodies buried under all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take to get would have. let me show you west mosul now a wasteland the city for intents and purposes has been erased and there is little or nothing left so it's no surprise people don't want to return. they would rather live in tents oh my gosh i was really excited to return to my home and see it now when i see it in this state i wish i'd never come back a third hand i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to this home i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. this was.
