trial you know the german nazi spite of that accused of torturing people can you imagine good i can tell you if i did that this is close you fly you know they will say that they would if i can call me near them while they are different resisting jewish law but they will never say it was a collection fight it is business as if there are never happened i mean this is what happens to a twenty four year veteran of the cia when he protests against torture and war criminal let's be clear you know haskell is a war criminal. for not wanting a torture to be the director of the cia and it's not the first time we've seen this type of brutality of course i mean we all remember occupy wall street pepper spray ferguson black lives matter and so i keystone x.l. anti the code of pipelines we've seen this again but but really i'm i'm glad that you i'm trying to keep a sense of humor and i've got a couple twitter quotes for you in that vein jeremy scahill i'm sure you know as

well as i do ben jena high school is waterboarding the glass ceiling movement who. because you know in america at least at least women have the equal rights to torture you guys thirty seconds gina haskell says she worked very hard and sometimes even slept on the floor of her cia station that must have been torture from danielle brian irish journalist. well gentlemen i'm glad we're making light of this and i'm really glad that ray is ok but again it seems to me this is a sign of time in the times that we have a person that is obviously committed to green illegal acts the moral acts i was i was funded galling that he even talked about repeatedly the morality of what the cia does it's quite remarkable and gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with our team.

global warming off selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. produce offspring to tell you that somebody gossiped a couple of us fell for the supporters of a. muslim off the bat i sometimes think you are not cool enough and let's fight product. these are the hawks that we along with all the ones.

the united states has always had a tools to use in its attacks on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the country's attorney talking about. their past to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for the rest of them because without us there will be chaos. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what will befall three of them all can't be good but i'm interested always in the waters of college. bush should. twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean. they believe is that i do believe that the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four to. those who took part in this state over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other it will ensure secure and prosperous and democratic.

welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter we were discussing some real news. ok gentlemen let's change gears here a fascinating article came out in the online titled time for europe to join the resistance here of course this is a reaction to. my decision to move to leave the iran deal which is a multilateral treaty that was supervised and signed under the auspices of the united nations security council so it is not a bilateral agreement as it is betrayed in western media here. mark i thought it was interesting the title time for europe to join the resistance i would say that's a bit too late but you know they might try go ahead europe was

a member of the resistance before the resistance and you know existed as european leaders you know had a problem with donald trump during his election campaign and now they've they initially when he took office they tried various attempts to butter up to him and to try to in the. way in the most embarrassing way but. yeah there they obviously are invested in this deal with iran and they have good reason to be u.s. trade with iran last year was two hundred million dollars each trade with iran was twenty five billion dollars right so that that tells you that there are there are vested interests they're all there then you know just preventing a war in conflagration across the across the middle east but you know i have problem believing that the e.u. will stick by their guns we've seen them bow down before even when obama was was wiretapping angela merkel's phone but that the reason the reason why this is not

let me go to reign in washington with one of the reasons why the using the term resistance is all nice and fine but what power do they have to resist there's not much there and this is a result of them abrogating their own security interests their own borders i would say and going along with american postmodernists social theory i mean they've just essentially castrated themselves now they're angry and upset but they're defenseless more or less go ahead. or they have castrated themselves and the question really is peter it's seventy three years since the end of the war. now i lived in germany for five years you know germans and i know the younger generation for which there is grille hope but the notion that after the war germans would act like well like juveniles or adolescents and all was about to to the

winners of the war i mean that's seventy three years when are they going to grow up and act like adults when their own economic and other interests are concerned i think this may be the time because never before have we had a certifiable crazy person in charge of washington. it's quite a pass when the. when the restraining influence has to be exerted by a guy who likes to be called mad dog mad dog madison ok so you have a situation here which is new and i don't rush the kasia now i won't see europe acting as an independent entity in my lifetime i think. i agree with ray but i think it's far too late they would have to i mean when you have these globalists elites of so integrated i mean that is assuming that merkel mccrone in may actually have a lot of power i don't think they do and actually and they all they're certainly out of touch with their electorates ok well they just drug syria together with

trump and he wasn't mad and they were proud about it you know mark said it was a matter of order for that for europe to go along with trump against syria so in order to resist the main problem is not have been the financial power to do it the main problem is the moral the moral right to do it europe went along with every action against iran and against many other middle eastern countries in the last thirty years so when when they are speak it writes that in terms of washington the only thing that matters is dismantling the legacy. peaceful legacy or his predecessor of barak obama so you say peaceful well this is what exactly you know not at all not in countries that monica obama said he has all the all because he's got a nobel peace prize right that he has he was bombing only nine countries is peaceful

for president brady want to jump in go ahead. yeah i just point out that there was the iraq war and. said no you know now he said no and then of course he he let the u.s. use all his bases and everything else in germany but it is a known sort of the french so there is some hope here i mean situation is really different than ever before you have people who are not fully in possession of their faculties running our country and running the alliance so to speak you know places like turkey drifting away from nato montenegro i don't think that really is substitute for turkey so this is a time of flux and if the you know. sadly in germany you have. in charge of the foreign ministry fund their lion you know how to defense minister and get to be defense minister for. russia.

permit for me is that it's not i agree on the economics thing of course the europeans would be afraid of being sanctioned by the united states they're more than willing to give up on their own national interest we've seen this for thirty years this is a pattern here but the for me it's the dimension of leadership there's a huge leadership gap we don't have. we don't have it do gall ok we don't have a margaret thatcher i mean she had a vision you could agree or disagree with it but she had a vision i would even say helmut kohl had a vision for europe i don't see any of these characters now have a vision for europe they've gotten so used to taking orders from washington and now we have this situation where we have not just a president we have mike pompeo we have john bolton. and we're going to have bloody gina i'm sorry i want to disagree with i think he's going to make a good team you want to jump in there well i just wanted to say that when i begin.

clever resistance is necessary and necessary as sad as that may sound resistance against america and of quote he's not a racist i mean i guess this is the source is that there is sort of already julian so here. it's week it's moaning it's snowflake not only sins here it's too late to be the first to have a problem with the term resistance we can't even talk about the us democrat since they approved a sanctions bill that not only targeted russia. north korea and syria but also targeted iran while this agreement was still in effect so i mean which would seem to be a breach it of it. to my mind at least and in many others. i think the e.u. will just wait donald trump out their problems with him is mostly partisan and ideological if this was hillary clinton leading the charge in the dissolution of this agreement she'd be holding their hand and they'd be going along we were

assuming trump is a one term president what would make that assumption i would make that assumption well. this week when faced with the possibility that a u.s. may put tariffs and saying sions on european companies if they do business with iran now he said what are we americans vassal to which my reply is we yeah you are merkel and merkel said. they would be and i'm articles that we can no longer rely on the us for our defense too late yeah angela i hate to tell you something honey but the biggest threat to your sovereignty and security is the u.s. ok you know you know ray one of the interesting things is that we have the tribes decision to withdraw from the iran deal but what's really quite remarkable is that we hear from the state department even though the united states is no longer a member of this multilateral treaty we expect the iranians to comply with the

treaty i mean there's so many different dimensions right there that don't make any sense why did the united states leave if they are in compliance and we don't want to part be party to that agreement but you must being still and you must comply with the rank hypocrisy of all it's so illogical ok how people countries around the world look at the united states as a reasonable actor now. you know well peter it's giving hypocrisy a bad name let's face it but it's not the first time i what i want to introduce a factor here that's overwhelming significance and which is never mention in his major speech on one march president putin talked about a growing very very substantial alliance in effect with country named china ok now i earned my spurs analyzing the sino soviet dispute when they were in

a loggerheads when they were fighting military clash is it because they're riverine borders i know what that was like in my short lifetime i've seen a complete change if there's trouble china supports russian policy in syria and in ukraine if this trouble in either of those places mark my words you're going to have trouble in the south china sea in the taiwan straits that's how close the military alliance is witness the fact that the chinese newly appointed defense minister first thing he did was travel to moscow they asked him why he said because i want to express my solidarity what the russians are doing in this era of challenge so that's a new element and that is something that i've been trying to get into the pressure about now because i don't think i don't think mad dog mattis i don't think trump i don't think of bolton they don't know that they're they're proceeding from the old paradigm where after the war in ninety one in iraq the main lesson was we

can do these things and the russians won't stop us you have the russians are not alone now the russians and the chinese can stop us yes but another historical analogy ray considering what you just said about china visa v ukraine in syria august nineteenth for teen ok the the the possibility of these interconnecting alliances tems getting out of control and escalation going to market china's got its own interests i mean after russia. iran is the biggest supplier of energy to the chinese industrial you know economic machine so they've got their own interests and with it with iran thirty seconds you know when people say that quantum is so important ok china is following its economic logic which markets just grab just very well europe despite the fact that they trade with iran that you know twenty five billion a year just told me they destroyed their relationship with russia it cost them a lot more it cost them at least on condit any advice is building across russia

four times. more than that with iran and they still went ahead with it despite the fact that russia was no threat north at that point can you spell castration ok gentlemen that's all the time we have many thanks to my guests here in moscow this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us to be expanded version on our you tube channel see you next time remember cross talk. to some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world for both. were good that some people may have

opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes. local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that. the new socks for the tell you to be gossiping public life. most important news today the time off the bad guys are telling you on the cool enough and let's go buy their product plenty of. things all the hawks that we along with our audience will watch the law. the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of

a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a truly dodgy and for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in some way. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies move to me to be about the social simple song alone even cycling the biggest elsewhere though they can find private companies to take over the utilities many bought a dell of. allowed to go. there might be cool. this is. for you bill if bill broader locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water shortages of school for much more and more it's about the hurt and the redistribution of all it was to this. date

downwards do you want or will. it be us prepares to open its embassy in jerusalem later this monday palestinians are promising rage and math action against in the way of bringing you live pictures from to see. a british tabloid rounds up the fifth on one month before the world cup in russia using a photo a project to highlight but only violence however the both of what has been twisted . plus demonstrations and a terror attack the end different presidents in manual mode crying. first year you know that. many in france same corner is like a king who doesn't understand his subjects.

a very warm welcome you're watching r t international with me we keep our in our top story this hour we begin with live pictures from the gaza strip protesters have gathered there to denounce the upcoming relocation of the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem protests are planned in the palestinian city of ramallah as well the embassy opening ceremony is shuttle to start and around five hours from now the move has ignited tension across the middle east for months but despite that israelis it israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu insists other countries should follow the u.s. example. these you run this is deducible because it. needs you and this is to do because.

there was a lot. oh oh. oh oh oh oh the middle east correspondent paula slay reports on what we can expect in jerusalem today. well after a lot of speculation the american president donald trump is not going to attend the embassy opening instead he has seen his daughter and her husband have a cushion they attended over simpson that was hosted last night sunday by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he also invited all eighty six diplomatic missions in the country to celebrate this move but only thirty three confirmed attendance amongst them will guatemala pug why both of whom are on schedule to

their own indices to jerusalem later this month and also in attendance where representatives from hungary romania as well as the czech republic but interestingly enough there were no wasted e.u. states present and this is despite the fact that washington really wants approval for it we saw the u.s. resorting to some dirty tricks when the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley issued a threatening letter as you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this move carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration. now ever since the american president announced the embassy moved back in december they have been protests not only in the region but internationally.

just two days ago we saw residents of jerusalem marched through the city also condemning this move came today because i firmly believe jerusalem blogs to everybody and there's just too much bad stuff being done in the name and. i think this is a group of people coming to the center of tourists at a time particularly this coming right where. that's just finally. the keeping of the occupation. coming out to the forefront of the embassy right. and this is i want to join to say right now we are holding we don't want to have a coaster to show you know for. sure you want sharks spotted. yesterday scuffles also broke out at the temple mount in jerusalem between

palestinian and israeli worshippers there was actually an attempt by some israelis to mount the israeli flag and one israeli has been arrested what we're hearing now from him us is that as many as two hundred thousand palestinians will turn out to protest throughout the course of the day so of course that was why the expectation that they could be clashes in the israeli army has issued a somewhat over the top video trying to justify what many have called its outrageous response is really who destroyed. and told innocent men women and children. this is not the video that anyone wants to see this week the israel defense forces will do everything to protect the civilians from the math that hamas is planning ever since donald trump and nonce the embassy and has promised what he scored the deal of the century peace between israelis and palestinians we've witnessed nothing but growing tensions and

violence on the ground so more people are really asking whether this conflict that is essentially centuries old is in any way going to be better served by moving the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and more people coming forward and saying unfortunately no. both states have long time claims over the territory here's a look at how the conflict all started and what's next after washington's embassy move. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away the nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth century there had been eight crusades the holy land and up under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike all reguard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since the formation of the state of israel in one thousand

nine hundred eighty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital of the subsequent conflict with their arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations stands firm on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's underlined that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations and not a unilateral action has made it very difficult for the palestinian leadership to go into any kind of negotiation. international consensus but was there for almost seventy years but clearly here. across the courses of haitians there is already. including the.

it's. already. started hearing some negative. responses from some of the european allies and. who see the trying to dictate. let's go back to live pictures from the gaza strip now demonstrations are can. as you can see protesters have gathered along the border there to denounce the upcoming relocation of the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem lansky to happen later today in about five hours from now protests massive protests in fact have been planned in the palestinian city of ramallah as well this is along the gaza strip there with we're seeing now on our screens live pictures being streamed to you the embassy opening as i said scheduled to start in about five hours time huge of protests have been planned so we'll be bringing you all the latest throughout the day.

now in other news with the twenty eight hundred football world cup exactly one month away a british newspaper has been warning fans to expect a bruising from bare knuckle fighters it takes the series by a serbian photographer who'd be working in moscow to highlight their supporters will be given a hostile welcome however the creator says his work has been taken out of context artie's daniel hawkins takes a closer look. as thousands of england fans pack their bags for russia this summer it seems one thing they won't be needing are travel guides forget trip advisor or lonely planet the sun has all the crucial info along with a handy photo guide it's not for the faint hearted though ultraviolence images ahead of the world cup these are some pretty hard hitting photos from a twenty fifteen project by a serbian photographer known as boogie well the images and captions certainly make an impression nationalistic pro-government messages labeled this photo of army

cadets a tattooed pensioner next men drinking and smoking in broad daylight a woman with a bruised face perhaps a victim of those very russian football folks with a few references to ultras and drinking thrown in the article then a finishes with a classic touch it all makes for a pretty grim picture of the upcoming world cup although some call inside of the piece certainly seem to disagree i would invite the sun to roam around some of america's inner cities in the heartland cleveland detroit chicago baltimore and take pictures that night's report back on what you find if you still are absolutely nothing connecting any of these photos with football hooliganism two men share a smoke and a beer in broad daylight oh my god satan so let's assume for just a moment these are all russian bots and trolls don't take their word for it we caught up with the for.
