even slept on the floor of her cia station that must have been torture from danielle drawing an irish journalist. well gentlemen i'm guy 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 agree just illegal actually moral acts i was i was i found it galling that she even talked about repeatedly the morality of what the cia does it's quite remarkable gentlemen i'm going to jump in you know we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news today with our team. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last turn. to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry.

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 day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to view those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave the feeling on the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with this one to. speak to now as there were no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more quick. and by the way he's going to be our coach

. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to be the center of the tell with you and do so with all the great game the great good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going let's go. a low as does i want to you know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me to just say the radio theology team's latest edition to make up is bigger so i need to just say look. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.

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 football. 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. the united states. and its attacks on other countries. economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press countries.

and there has to be an effort to. that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the home. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there would be. welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter about to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok gentlemen let's change gears here a fascinating article came out in. line 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 will. 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 to butter up to him and to try to in the. way in the most embarrassing way but they obviously are invested in this deal with iran do 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 you know 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 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 no 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 and they would have to i mean when you have these globalists a liter 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 struck syria together with trump and he wasn't mad and they were proud about it you know mark said it was a matter of all 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 washington the

only thing that matters is dismantling the leg. peaceful legacy or his predecessor barak obama so you say peaceful well this is what exactly you know not at all not in countries that make a bomb a said he has all the obese because he's got a nobel peace prize right that he has he was bombing only nine countries is peaceful for us 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 us use all those 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 have 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 when they lie and you know how did defense minister get to be defense minister for. russia as well when i was out. for him and 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 that 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 a do goal 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 quote he's not a racist i mean this is the source is that there is sort of already julius so here it's so euro it's weak it's moaning it's snowflake not only since 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 democrats 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 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 ok what will make that assumption will make that assumption. across this week when faced with the possibility that a us 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. we. 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 are 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 could one 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 never mention in

his major speech on one march and president putin talked about a growing very very substantial alliance in effect with country named china ok now i earned my spurs analyzation in the sino soviet dispute when they were in 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 alliances witnessed the fact that the chinese newly appointed defense minister the 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 and syria all against nineteen for teen ok the the the possibility of these interconnecting alliances tems getting out of control in 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 here europe despite the fact that they trade with iran through that you know for twenty five billion a year just to koizumi they destroyed their relationship with russia it cost them a lot more of course the middle east on condit any advice is build 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 the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time remember across the. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private

companies to be able to meet people this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities many by the telescope was allowed to miss you guys who got it while on the pier might be. a been this is. just because they're now looking. out for you the lift hill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of all of. us. debt downwards we want our. global war. telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't believe the new socks credits tell you that will be gossip and public but

also the most important news today. off the bat has been telling you on the cool enough and wants to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. 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 and be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up by the gas business which is a trillion dodgy had them for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in seoul. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution two to ukraine the demonstrations going from be relatively

peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean your list put video through to me in the new bill is that i'm new school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took the boat had invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. political.

career. dozens of palestinians are shot and killed by israeli soldiers on the gaza border and the worst day of violence since the two thousand and fourteen conflict. a soldier subject himself to waterboarding it to test whether the interrogation technique is a form of torture. an issue with strong anti-american views takes the lead in iraq's a general election with most of the votes now counted. or

broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is art international thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now the opening of the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem has been marred by deadly violence on the gaza border the united nations condemned israel's use of lethal force after the largest single day loss of life since two thousand and fourteen fifty five protesters were killed on monday according to gaza's health ministry eight of them were children and more than twenty seven hundred other people were injured as well donald trump's decision to recognize drew slim as of the israeli capital last it's december has caused months of unrest. water glorious day remember this moment.

thanks this is history. the united states will always be a great friend of israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace. that night prayers are still shooting tear gas canisters on the protesters at trying to disperse all these all these protesters in the e.u. can see that at the gaza fire it is very concentrated we've look and feel that from a very very far away there are palestinian protesters that are injured and trapped

inside where. the palestinian minister of having the ambulances can't reach them. so what happened right now is we heard a huge huge explosion and. that they israeli air strikes on a place blame it to the protests as they're trying to scare the palestinian protesters did it the goal. throughout the day there was a bunch of highs regarding violence in fact two hours ago during the highest peak of violence where the protesters and the israeli military forces clashed almost head on israeli military forces using rubber coated steel bullets tear gas

canisters stun grenades and other armaments at their disposal against the palestinian protesters were mainly throwing stones and chanting against israeli military forces this had increased as the day went on with things calming down but make no mistake this area was a battle zone before with many protests happening across the west bank from ramallah to nablus to bethlehem and even have drawn and other protests have occurred in the region as well with different places such as lebanon and even among with some protesters going against the these decisions and rejecting these policies that are being presented by the americans following monday's events turkey recalled its ambassador to israel and the u.s. for consultations france accused washington of violating international law by moving its embassy to jerusalem this condemned the use of force warning of negative consequences for the region international relations professor hussein bob she told

us that the situation could upset u.s. relations with key allies. i think not only because she's right about tours of the american turkish relations. i do expect this the american government. didn't respond. statement indicates clearly that america is not going to become a mediator anymore and turkey appears a long. against america. in this context what. it will be achieved we will see at the moment it is the time of demonstrations the determination of turkish president to a pier. on the protector of. palestinians is. on since very beginning governments most countries decided to boycott the opening of the new u.s.

embassy although representatives from hungary romania and the czech republic were there donald trump himself chose not to attend instead he sent his daughter ivanka and her husband white house adviser jared kirshner here's a brief recap of why the status of jerusalem is such a divisive issue. as 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 the kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth century had been a crusade of 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 regard 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 the subsequent conflict with the 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 on the line 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 take unilateral action as of now out of eighty seven countries that have embassies in israel the u.s. will be the only country to base its facility in jerusalem. i'm standing here in front of the american embassy where in the last few moments an angry crowd has gathered there protesting against him if you need any israeli police are trying to keep the crowd. why you have. i'm here to oppose the this version by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contest the city in

the heart of the city for thirty to forty percent of its residents living under occupation that are not that is that that is their denied basic rights i mean that because all that's left or if they ask for issues against the occupation we're here because we oppose transcending the we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and it's been. it's not a game what's happening today is illegal and unacceptable and it's our duty to say no admittedly anybody parliamentarian why what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by those in a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been two of the best known for them and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok if i did it today it could be the capital of the state of palestine the tensions are definitely running high here as you can see this

scuffles and clashes and we're being pushed forward and. a lot of anger out of. what happened let up in fact right out the heart of the firefight up the materials that up there sure didn't before we went i don't think oh it. was all of this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the road is witnessing crime pictures of a historic occasion are featured we see them in to see opening just across the road are these kind of scenes unfurling where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and a lot of disappointment that the american government went ahead with this move now the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on countries to sign up and approve this move although there is a lot of resistance internationally to it we have seen the u.s. ambassador to the united nations making how he was altering to duty tactics and

writing a threatening letter to consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration and more more question. being asked if the current violence that we witnessing is a response to the embassy me well then just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut as he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians the israeli military has defended its use of live fire on the border and a spokesman for the i.d.f. blamed among us which controls gaza our message to the hamas is clear we will not tolerate this violence we will continue to defend also venti our civilians on our border we will do so while trying to minimize the amount of casualties but we will not in.
