to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a cave still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. this is charlie miners approach to economic slow bold blow bubbles from wells fargo grill and wells fargo below the turf charlie monger i wore love it does the word.

with gold make this manufacture consent to certainty of public wealth. when the right wing closes the project over themselves. when the primary go around lift certainly the one percent job. last night during the whole middle of the room sick. to lose the real news is really the world. the united states is going to look very deep of the mystic rose shell instrumental supremest see the north from the outside noise from russia not from china from the inside all sides are missing what you see now all around rushed. and there is. no

rush. to find somebody outside. while the real problem was. welcome back to our interview with alastair cook we're talking about the middle

east before we went to the break we were talking about the a cultural shift and maybe a strategic shift in israeli thinking because of what's going on in syria but it's always about iraq it's always about human well and i know that you know you're an expert in the region. there's a lot of bluster in the rhetoric that comes out and you know you have to kind of decipher it but we know that prime minister netanyahu is in trouble politically domestically because of corruption charges and allegations. and then we when we had this shoot down of this israeli plane the israeli media and the military talked about you know these. iranian death posen supplies in syria as if syria really isn't even a sovereign country here how much is with this shift that you were talking about and we have the hawks in the pentagon in the white house when it comes to iran is there something coming together right now that iran is always. a target of these

people is as it moved up to another level yes i think it's changed in a sense what i mean what you're saying about israel is absolutely right but it's not a consensus and the security establishment of israel the prime minister and his father before him have been iran hawks and everyone knows it but there are the the the security establishment don't forget many of them said afterwards and have said subsequently when trump became president they said listen the j c p a way is an israeli interest is our interest so it's not absolutely black and white in israel but where it is black and white is in the circle of the white house where you have iran folks from the head of the cia to the national security council i don't know how it's happened but it's surrounded by people who believe iran is the source of all evil and of course netanyahu feeds this and is capable of using less and of

course we have in saudi arabia another for iran for the person and something happened before this u.n. security council sold meeting in in in new york this summer because there was a meeting and netanyahu had a meeting with mr trump and the next day he produced that extraordinary diatribe against north korea and against iran and labeled iran is the source of all evil i imagine that somehow that netanyahu promised him and israeli support for action like this and then what happened saudi arabia tried to contrive the circumstances for an attack on hezbollah by forcing saad hariri the prime minister of lebanon to unwillingly ritter and the security and the army of israel the dog didn't bark in the night they didn't go over. part of maybe to inveigle or is

going on here a lot of them and it's a very toxic mix when it all comes together you talked about. trump and his generals he seems to have just kind abrogated his responsibility to theirs and that's the impression i have because we can we see rex tillerson the secretary of state he's overruled even publicly quite often when it comes from north korea to syria maybe even towards iran here i mean it seems like a very much a military foreign policy because we've had these posture reviews come out security defense but i'm not expecting a diplomacy review to come out anytime soon you know i mean people have talked talking about caging the president and containing him but in this respect i think i don't think it was so unwilling i think he likes it and you know he keeps talking about my generals and i think he actually i'm commander in chief and these are my

generals i mean that's something that feeds into trump's ego and he literally feeding them with these immense defense. immense and they feed him by saying america has got to be respected and america's got to be powerful and he says absolutely right you know the cya agree with so i think i think it's voluntary what is particularly significant is the move we've had from if you like the ban on coal which were in a different philosophical view who said america house to be america is culturally. american but it also implied that russia could be in russia as it was and that was a basis where you could have a foreign policy we have now a group of generals that are a vision of the generals who believe in fighting the vietnam war to prove the vietnam war was never lost by the americans in mosul. you know what we have nikki

haley is there is there a bullhorn on the world stage i mean when it comes to israel when it comes to around i mean this is this is this she just perpetuates this this echo chamber you have to see the language who is very important in the second statement to begin with russia and china work competitors and rival the second statement there revisionist party now that has a very specific meaning it has a meaning the. will use military force to undermine the status quo of the world order after the second world war in other words saying russia and china are submission is against the global order or or just challenging american hegemony in its you know polar moment i'm giving a different interpretation. there will be different and then they go on to say so. seditionists have taken advantage of us so we're going to have to rebuild the whole nuclear deterrence submarines missile new weapons and we're going to build the

whole any more than rockets are neutral assured destruction is eroded more than it's worth more than that because what we're seeing is the blurring of the borderline between nuclear war and non nuclear war i mean when they talk about you know using tact using tactical nuclear weapons or conventional setting then the border goes it becomes blurred and even though they've just given a contract to for having cruise missiles with nuclear weapons well if you're a state and you know people fire cruise missiles how do you know whether it's going to be nuclear or going to be conventional it's a big blurring of the whole problem in that posture is if you read it rationally in a detached way it is a justification for the united states to use these weapons it's not a deterrent to russia in china it's explicit. right it's explicit in it that it

will use it and the even the preemptory action is is possible where again states that might be likely to acquire nuclear weapons they were this past year here because it focused on russia china of course north korea but it it almost in a dismissive way start talking about in remarkably considering how these two words the war on terrorism that has been degraded and it's a term that was invented by the united states to read havoc unbelievable havoc in the middle east in and beyond and now they're walking away from it they are and were and this is really i mean what your point you know is really significant because what we have in its stead and they are very explicit about saying it these are forever wars generational wars our enemies we will fight them by coin which is any means information wars flyable war any type of ward regime change

over a generation or more and for russia iran is a dietary feel it's theirs and i guarantee that there will be perpetual wars any distance it will be it's really quite circular of course of course it does yes you're i mean and of course we're already seeing russia reading this china reading it i'm not you know i don't when i say war when it comes to iran i don't think there's going to be hot for i think we're going back to twenty fourteen and they'll be financial sanctions will be attempts to undermine it by counter-insurgency messages and then they'll be financial war on russia sanctions and on china no will be tariff wars china is the one thing that they can bring everyone together with in the democratic the republican party airlines agreed we must have economic war on china we must. china down to the side and of course it means that there is

no foreign policy debate at all in the united states is really quite remarkable in two thousand and three when the united states was about to illegally invade iraq there was a huge anti-war movement now it's gone it's changed here it's. during the cold war it was a open agreement between the united states and the soviet union the you don't kill each other on the ground you can use proxies all you want that's changed in syria i don't think a lot of people understand that because there is every reason to believe that the u.s. out of self-defense that's the new just an occasion for regime change now targeted russian contractors and killed them that's something that didn't happen during the cold war so i think it's a you're right it's a very serious escalation and i think that it's likely to.

continue because. iran and syria i think both made it certainly iran has made explicit that if the americans do not leave voluntarily they will be made to leave syria they've said the same about the american presence in iraq i think that in the northern part of the middle east there is a clear determination i don't mean. this is a conspiracy i'm just saying there's a clear consensus a view that the american presence in syria and in iraq is going to be disturbing to the stability of the imagination we have it's upcoming in this temple we're going to have the the russians the turks and the iranians now those three parties had their differences when it comes to syria but they are all united on one issue they do now want press american. since illegal under international law our presence

in syria isn't enough to keep them together no i mean it's more complicated but i think the relationship between russia and iran although there are long history of disagreements but it is a real strategic interest partly because of the financial war they need both russia and iran need if you like commercial depth in order to survive any sanctions sort of put on them so both of them benefit from that and china is part of that axis turkey is more complicated more complicated sometimes it seems to do what was agreed in. sometimes things don't seem to work out quite like that sometimes it's not clear what their ambitions are in syria sometimes there's a cooperation and at the moment when you read the turkish press you see they're angry at the americans they're angry at the u.a.e.

the angry angry and ality isn't really just playing it on the fly because i agree with you i mean what's turkey think today you know i don't know we don't know because i think one of the great difficulty i mean i don't want to is not predictable and you know autumn on language in autumn one sentiments are rising and the people who are with him let's make no. he's got to and that's what the court and that's what worries me is because this operation of branch of all names in meaning of northern syria he can pitch it as being anti-american and he's his his base loves it yes yes and also he's somehow actually in a way managing to bring some sort of togetherness between the secular base and the religious pious base of here that he believes killed in creating

a gilded cage for himself as well because he has to succeed that's all the time we have that was wonderful having interview thank you very much thank you talking with our thank you for inviting me thank you. the. united states is going to look very deep into mystic prizes shell and straw miracles supremest see the north from the outside walls from russia not from china from the inside all sides are missing what you see now on around russia and this cyber bullies easing over russia not to notice is psychos are going to enlist on the bill of times to find somebody outside the united states will is responsible for their while the real problem is the stuff.

or similar for the spurs to the east of us and most of the snowboard of the four of them would. be over yes they were going to push. him over to them close them this month to move him i do you know of the all my money friends with the story know comes from. certain demeanor will someday and soon the muslim even spoke of the dog to us yes so us little. to come to think of yellow would someone from the spirit of them shows who pulls through the priesthood yes his people still most of them so just truth be told what you could give that would usually beautiful the nation as we see would you do you see each of us knows both some. of the media is

a symbol to me so. make this manufacture consent to stick to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round in the one percent. going all middle of the room sick. the real news is really low. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos remember wolf it was dismissive if you like you know there's this isn't my cup of tea is going up to the study hall maybe they're they're old shot down over there.

the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak vision not only could give it. i know it's. hard to this lady in the muscle that you had and i'm going to continue muslims you know do more. but there's also. our.

the u.n. security cali. still holds a round of crisis talks on syria's rebel held district of eastern russia says the international community of double standards also ahead in the program. begging me don't do it don't do it don't do it and we did the right thing donald trump reinforces his commitment to move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem named the date of the spider condemnation from. russian lawmakers to enforce tougher penalties for child sex abuse harling details emerge from an orphanage in central russia.

around the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team myself you know neil welcome to the program we begin with news just in from washington d.c. the white house is in lockdown after a vehicle rammed into a security barrier the driver known female reportedly being detained the secret service said no law enforcement officers were injured during the incident it did happen as president bush hosting australian prime minister malcolm turnbull in sight we are closely following the situation and we'll bring you the details as soon as we get them. ok to another of our big stories this hour the u.n. security council is a buy to the scuffs a possible cease fire for the rebel held district of eastern in syria russia is

pushing for several amendments softer a previous draft failed to pass we cannot cross live to r.t.c. . or bring us up to date what we know at this stage of the in utah. well it's been a tough two days of rhetoric and negotiations now it all relates to the district of eastern ghouta that's east of damascus a suburb that is currently under the control of rebels and terrorists it's an enclave and at this point the syrian government is trying to retake the city in an anti terror operation now at this point the anti terror operation is being widely criticized by western leaders there reporting that civilians are being killed recently we even heard from u.s. president donald trump who said that the operations of the syrian government in eastern guta that they are an outrage this is what the u.s. president said about the fighting. i will say and what russia and want to read

and what syria have done recently is a humanitarian disgrace i will tell you that we're there for one reason with it to get isis and get rid of isis and go home. we're not there for any other reason and we've largely accomplished our goal but what those three countries have done to people over the last short period of time is a disgrace. now we have heard from russian officials regarding the situation there and they have talked about concerns for civilian life not wanting people to be harmed but also pointing out that this is a fight against terrorists and that these terrorists are essentially using the civilians in the area as human shields and that this is taking place that civilians are essentially being used by these terrorists as human shields so we've also heard russian officials point out that it's very interesting to hear such harsh criticism

coming from the people who recently leveled the cities of raka and mosul well let's review what happened in those two cities. we all pooled by the estimation of strikes me humanitarian disaster systematic targeting of civilians this is how on us on going slaughter of trap civilians streaming children digging through rubble to find their children doctors working frantically with no medicine and no equipment it's about the case of the syrian government as well and we call on all that has including russia to ensure that this violence stalks.

the. more of life in iraq and in syria people are much more accepting that because it's . being liberated they understand what they were suffering civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price but unavoidable part of war and commanders have to press on despite that responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with isis we are a good guy. to do right now at this point leaders of the

international community are in full agreement that civilian life in eastern is very important and the conditions are dire all want to make sure that civilians are safe however there are clear disagreements among world leaders about who is to blame for the situation in eastern guta that's the primary point of disagreement we're hearing from world leaders so all eyes are now on the security council chamber. thanks for pointing out what is going to be spoken to today came up and live from new york. well according to the united nations more than three hundred civilians have been killed in eastern since they were strikes intensified the organization second dri general describe the situation there a spell on earth the assad government has refused to scale back the operation saying it is targeting terrorists groups that are using through its as a base to shell residential areas of damascus three people were killed and fifteen

injured in the latest rebel assault of the syrian capital on friday ok for a closer look out the story we can speak with. director of a think tank focusing. on the middle east m.r. for your very welcome russia is saying that any cease fire ok must exclude terrorists groups but so far western powers well they have not agreed to that how big do you expect any compromise to be reached out the u.n. security council. well the fact that this has been delayed for more than five hours now gives me no sort of glimmer of hope there is probably a light at the end of the tunnel otherwise there would have taken the vote and you know probably russia would have used the veto the there was a leaked documents. explaining the russian modifications that were

given to the you know on the original. draft of the resolution and in this specific area that you mentioned that the don't they know no longer suggests talking about somebody like the mossad but also the groups and entities and personnel affiliated with them so this gives a more realistic sort of explanation of the of the or a description of what is going on greedy at least in the east of old and in other places as well and that tells you that you know if you shoot someone who's protecting your mouth and listen i that means that you are actually carrying on an international justice as described by u.n. resolutions but apparently this is a stumbling block and we are yet to see the final draft on the final resolution passed or not actually just to reiterate some our what our correspondent was laying i thought there russia highlighted the the double standard as they see it at play here western powers were more than willing to bomb iraq and mosul in iraq to defeat

islamic state but are not so keen to see that terrorist targeted in eastern why is that. well not only in fact let me add to the argument that the way in which the united states mohmed like the likes of rock and mosul was to eliminate everything to try to destroy every single infrastructure there is nothing left there and it's a huge task after the liberation for the government of iraq and syria to rebuild those places whilst in eastern who turned in other places probably the government would want to make sure that there are areas where it could carry on because the main concern here and the main if the point of view of the syrian government or viewpoint is that the civilians who are in eastern hotel or previously for example in eastern europe will not actually hostages held by these groups by these

militants and once those militants are evacuated elsewhere the life needs to go back as soon as possible to norm which has happened successfully entry into in eastern aleppo and people are not very much complaining there on everybody's relief and the government needs to have that assurance also in eastern border so they're not carpet bombing just like the americans did but this also gives you you know this sort of hypocrisy about we can kill in one air raid something like one hundred sixty people like for example the french did in north members or the americans did two hundred in mosul and rock and so on but you know you're not allowed to kill two or three people as collateral damage and by the way we never hear in is the motor of any militants being killed everybody is civilian in istanbul does if nobody is carrying on rep and.
