coincidence that some of the people he met with in odessa were seen at the scene that fateful day. but not everyone was mourning on the popular political talk show schuster live the news about the people burned alive in odessa was welcomed with a long round of applause are you sure for saudi what this it but lots of your i don't want to see you said yes but in your story you know what you see. on its facebook page the right sector announce the events of may second a proud moment in national history an official investigation into this sad event has been going on now for nearly two years and it's yet to reach a conclusion but it seems the experts and all the information they needed from the very beginning. you just get really cute you can put it all.

it looks like a desa really is a very important piece of real estate as it was on earth with a very special new governor appointed on may thirtieth of two thousand and fifteen . mikhail saakashvili an old friend of the united states and born and raised in ukraine's neighboring country georgia hello there in georgia a quick look at his biography gives one an understanding that he's been groomed for a special mission i mean should i be doing as i did when i was honored to go did it never got to mr saakashvili received a u.s. state department scholarship and he worked for a new york law firm which represented the organization come on or a group that appeared earlier when we learned about the color revolutions and we're dealing with democratic blood blister aleutian this is the revolution of roses and this is me kyle saakashvili with camara busy over. we're throwing the legitimately

elected president eduard shevardnadze. but. soon after the rose revolution blossom fully george announced its intentions to join nato and plant fresh nato military bases in the fertile soil right on russia's border never ever freedom and independence never never will give any piece of our territory saakashvili is mission was accomplished at least with his friends and nato the georgian populace wasn't quite as happy though in two thousand and seven they took to the streets to voice discontent and mr saakashvili responded with force. the people's discontent. saakashvili party lost parliamentary elections and the opposition took control this means. the president.

decided not to wait for the results of the president's election and fled the country in october two thousand and thirteen. the great destabilization with nato meeting only days away from began. to pay their way an open seat on the u.s. supreme court. are the democrats. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does what mike was hoping the board doesn't implement the eyes of god i'm stunned this is going to come to the. woods as the fever of the dog on into the sea at the most of them proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that a such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments

under cyber threat and not only that some things off message books get more that's what we call softness of the assistant is it selling this is also the only one we know called and do more for the signal into almost up the wall in this huge borden's problems with. the incident this is the arsenals of the company started on me with the old vision stopping there was a sting of uncles in front is up and describes all the fine. the accounting firms the banks the the rating agencies the government and the central bank it's called a racket the u.k. profits from it handsomely that's how the aristocracy keeps going and that's not going to stop. trying to to. come

. in two thousand and fourteen saakashvili refused summons to appear in court as a witness in several criminal cases later that same year he was accused of misuse of power and investment. saakashvili wound up in the u.s. and soon his friends in washington found him a new assignment. mikail actively supported my down and very soon was rewarded with a high position in the new ukrainian government. first as the president's counselor and then as the governor of odessa the day before taking this position he renounced his citizenship to georgia the country of these birth and became a ukrainian citizen. and the suggest others gordon could have done in the way exhorting that road in a. coordinate of that in the way explored that road in. as they say

the battle is worth the blood both literally and figuratively yet they could ask us now do i not somebody afforded us by the us out reading your paper to class now the last thought on. your life a chest about iraq that i thought of those nasa she's up to date on the my seal of geoffrey pyatt the u.s. ambassador to ukraine paid a visit to saakashvili just a month after he took office in odessa it is law and the all last administration is delivering results and you raise your voice to see a steady flow of embassy and washington visitors coming here the meeting was fruitful and geoffrey generous. no matter how well saakashvili is job goes it looks like he shouldn't be worried about his own finances on his facebook page he posted an official document showing that the new governor of odessa gets

a pretty penny from washington almost two hundred thousand dollars a year for comparison the governor of maine gets seventy thousand dollars a year. so if odessa became a new u.s. state it would be at the top of the list mr saakashvili should feel right at home in his newly adopted country he is best of friends with fellow color revolutionary leader viktor yuschenko who is the godfather of his son. and then now that i'm on this school bus in the lesson of lucia please don't think i should give it up as the bully walk us kind of being it's just a d.c. at them the if someone is going to. even though there's a double chooses to show. it when used to the cut the hook but they still do a straight is if they did it with you but i'd have to stand on the issue of this boy that business doing this if it were good enough out of this almost a student of the body of this that i see in the in the special because bone is nothing but a little crane so. a

war once launched doesn't choose its victims we are just learning at this hour that malaysian airlines has now confirmed that it has lost contact with one of its planes plane was indeed shot down by a missile off line at a high altitude over eastern ukraine near the russian border two hundred ninety eight revised number of souls on board all feared dead it was a murder it was a crime there's been this odd nonchalance about pursuing the answers there was a report a very limited report put out a few months after the event but since then they said the next report will be on the first anniversary of the event but you deal with a criminal investigation before becomes a cold case so there's been this curious element of why is there not greater pressure from both the media and the the western governments to answer these

questions but even without any answers the fingers were pointed immediately that's not an. that is happening because a russian support evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine usually. to put up a national stage it's a question to kate. the malaysian boeing wasn't the first plane to play a significant part in american russian relationships on september first one nine hundred eighty three korean airlines flight double zero seven from new york to seoul via anchorage was shot down by a soviet interceptor aircraft over the territory of the u.s.s.r. in the sea of japan there was absolutely no justification i don't legal or moral for what the soviets did the tragedy of the korean boeing was considered a perfect occasion to demonstrate the nato military power within dangerous

proximity to the soviets on november second one thousand nine hundred eighty three nato launched able archer attend a command post exercise simulating a conflict escalation culminating in a nuclear attack that was followed by placing pershing two nuclear missiles in europe with what reagan didn't take into consideration was the paranoid overreaction of the soviets and. the recently declassified us intelligence report shows that for the first time since the cuban missile crisis the world was that close to nuclear war. just like in one nine hundred eighty three the malaysian boeing crash was leveraged against the enemy. a new wave of sanctions hit russia mediately after the tragedy. the united states is imposing new sanctions in key sectors of the russian economy almost a year and three months later the dutch safety board published

a report that is itself a flight m.h. seventy crashed because of. i have three well for more i have the today just outside of the airplane and the best a list site of the cockpit the report didn't blame any specific group or person and estimated a very wide area of three hundred twenty kilometers as a zone from which the missiles fired at the same time the russian producer of boog missiles day conducted its own independent investigation. that they speeded me up the fullest. lou of the delegates i mean if you take it the nist is up a school during the experiment they blew up a retired airliner with a bouquet missile and came to the conclusion that the malaysian plane was brought down by the older type of missiles not used by russia anymore but still in the possession of ukraine the company claims that the missile was launched from the

territory controlled by the ukrainian military. one would expect that these controversial results would again stir up public interest in the investigation but the tragedy of malaysian flight m.h. seventeen at already played its role in the big geo political game therefore it was soon forgotten the goal was achieved after the third wave of sanctions hit russia the tensions between the two countries skyrocketed so the question presents itself are we truly witnessing the beginning of cold war two point zero and if so what are our chances to survive at this time. in one thousand nine hundred seven the bulletin of atomic scientists introduce the doomsday clock. it represents

a countdown to global nuclear annihilation. in one thousand nine hundred. the three during the height of the cold war it came its closest to midnight as the superpowers were creating massive nuclear arsenal spent her story of america's ever expanding atomic weapons program as the world began to grasp the insane danger of nuclear warfare and took measures to control the arms race the situation steadily improved. in one thousand nine hundred one the doomsday clock was at its furthest from midnight seventeen minutes. the time of hope was short lived though as the world has become more and more unstable. but in two thousand and fifteen the bulletin of atomic scientists moved the clock to just three minutes to midnight stay on check to climate change in a nuclear arms race resulting from modernization of huge ourselves pose

extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity. the united states and russia have embarked on massive programs to modernize their nuclear arsenals. undermining existing nuclear weapons treaties. the clock ticks now at just three minutes to midnight because international leaders are failing to perform their most important duty ensuring and preserving the health and vitality of human civilization.

latest news and more world cup action with me in an hour we should very good morning between now and then just let you know on out international it's crosstalk on what to expect from the upcoming nato summit and if you're watching in the u.k. are all of morning to you really getting looks at the state of press freedom in britain that's coming right up. hello and welcome to cross town for all things are considered i'm peter lavelle the great destabilization with nato meeting only days away trying to get presses to pay their way an open seat on the u.s. supreme court sharpens the political divide and are the democrats going socialist.

cross locking the political divide i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have. he is a political analyst with sputnik international and we have a row he is the founder of the center of political strategic analysis struck paul or joining crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciated before we move on with our agenda here i'd like to go to berlin our chorus what international correspondent policy joins us paula thank you for joining us i want to continue on with what happened to you visiting. being invited to a know a c.e.o. conference on freedom of speech the floor is yours dear go ahead well as you mentioned we had received this invitation it was an open meeting that was geared towards media player ality of media freedom in the ukraine and i was made to participate from the floor however when i arrived at the airport in biased poll my passport was fled the customs i was pulled across and kept waiting for an hour and

a half they asked to see my press credentials they are asked what was the purpose of my visit and subsequent to that they got me to sign a deportation paper that they explained had orders they came from above and the orders were that i was not allowed to enter ukraine and i was banned for the next five years and i was then essentially put on the next plane and i had to leave the country now the last time i was in kiev was back in two thousand and fifteen i was reporting on fires that had broken out in chernobyl that story was not political in any way but there was an online witch hunt that began by ukrainian blogger essentially calling for. people to find me and the most horrendous things to rip they hit my head from my body that was intimidation and threats against not only me but also my family and at that time in consultation with the producers in moscow the decision was made made to pull me out now i was not aware of being on any blacklist we checked that before i went to kiev and certainly it raises questions as to a why does the o.e.c.d.

hold a conference on media plurality in ukraine and secondly what does it say about the ukrainian authorities and indeed about the only see if journalists such as myself are prevented from participating in such a conference now there was a response from the o.e.c.d. they said quote that this was regretful and they called on all member states to ensure the free travel of journalists across the o.s.c. region but aside from that there hasn't been anything i have received lots of messages of support from numerous people across the political spectrum on my twitter account but also as to be expected i've received a lot of hate mail a lot of intimidation and of course the usual trolls. you very much for the apollo i suppose we can end this way of saying we should expect more from though if we see that their commitment to freedom of speech is it isn't matched by the reality thank you very much for joining us. well gentlemen let's move forward here. mr trump is coming to europe exactly. what trumps game plan because i think i know

what it is i think mark knows what it is to be intimidating the europeans and we're looking at members of the european union and nato he's showing some of his cards right now this is in his heart of the deal in play in my opinion a. very good game because if you look at what happened to exactly no conflict between the opinion i mean germany and france and the united states and germany and france should have played cards so if you were we should have played late and so when kemp was a g seven it was a from where russia saw immediately. one of the only card that germany and france can play and the direction was stupid because they know no russia so it was. a trap and fall into a sense he used the g seven to lead the e.u.

and nato this is very interesting mark yeah. we you know we're living in a world right now where the u.s. president describes nato is just as bad as nafta and this this morning politico ran an article where they had to specify their president trump says he's not withdrawing from the world trade organization and personally i just living love living in a world where they need to stress. that you know you are calling out right because he has expressed displeasure with the world trade organization as well. there is there is there is a quote attributed. that there is great chaos under heaven the situation is excellent and that's the way i find the. and right now and i think trump just before his trip to this upcoming nato meeting is announced at least at

some level the defense department review of the cost of withdrawing all of its thirty five thousand troops out of germany not all of them but a. significant well it's an important demon again is much is that he's surrounded by these neo cons which we've talked about on this program many times before he still comes out and says these things ok i don't know if it's his own idea if it's part of a concerted strategy that he has but he will not let the payment of. each member of nato he won't let that go he just hanging onto it i mean it's a real competition in absurdity because actually the stockholm institute for peace for a show called too late that that russia spends on its defense twenty seven percent of all what nato european allies spend on their decenter defense russia's defense budget is ten times smaller than the american one but still. actually.

one of the bunch of one of the fears. and i think you know the record was made by their household who commented on the visit by john bolton trumps national security advisor to law school oswalt is very concerned bolton made every sign of having been kept in the crib didn't even use press conference at the russian interfax news agency rather than at the u.s. embassy sat and telling them it's kind of dream of brought up john bolton because we all know his background and the kind of persona that he has here he was really caught flat footed in moscow preparing for this summit here i mean i think was a book with a month before he did your job you wrote in these i don't comment on what. he was smiling the first time i saw it was. mazing but you know what that is you know i think i think you have to take in consideration that the men. from school was to.

reboot in the united states a strong production you know in an industry to bring the brands back and so if it's. the real goal the real and so the there is to be concurrent is germany and china so they have to be controls have to be to be submitted and in my opinion we could have very interesting result of this meeting between trying to put in because if on these men go to make america great i mean industry again. can only be in my opinion you know i can go both ways in this market i've talked about this a number of times i'm not really convinced it's a really good idea because i don't know i mean outside of a photo op ok no matter what the picture is that's going to create a lot of commentary but

a much more interested in substance here mark and i still i mean the fact that bolton was here maybe shows there's some kind of agenda here but i mean i think bolton wants to keep his job so i mean trump said do it and i think that that's essentially where we are where there's a number of me going around the internet showing john. right because he's now the want to finish you finish it he waking up from a nightmare we were all. you know right he was wandering around in the background of the north korean meeting with kim jong on a looking like he's a little lost new york on child somewhere and the same thing he is the one sent to negotiate a summit with putin where just months ago he was saying that you know dialogue with the russians is pointless and it would be to our detriment even to engage in it so . this is all quite interesting to see but you know i brought this up before on the program repeat.
