didn't has asserted that torture works do you agree with that statement. senator i am i don't believe that torture works i believe as many people directors who have sat in this chair before me that valuable information was obtained from senior al qaeda operatives that allowed us to defend this country and prevent another attack or former cia officer ray mcgovern says war crimes were perpetrated out of the black side in thailand jena has girl was not was playing fast and loose with the truth at her hearing and she was allowed to do that if she was allowed to classify the gerard dettori information on herself before the hearing she supervised the torture to see the graphic and detail here on the interior walling does nothing short of banging someone's head into a wall in the water treatment that's waterboarding condemned by all manner of nations because was practiced by the japanese general or to war crime and so to see

this kind of thing revealed in gory detail blue only solace i get from this is the fact that our system of law sometimes works and that is that the national security archive that did a freedom of information request for this got these details. thousands have gathered in yemen to mourn and bury dozens of children killed in a saudi led coalition air strike that hit a school bus incident caused shock and was condemned around the world. earlier local children and their mothers that gathered outside of the u.n. offices in the capital city demanding an end the consulate to make their banners and chanted slogans against the saudi campaign which has targeted held areas of yemen u.n. has called for an independent investigation into the incident and just

a bit of warning you might find some of the following images are. in an official statement riyadh defended the coalition's actions saying the strike was executed in compliance with international law saudi arabia launched its bombing campaign against who the rebels in yemen when it considers terrorists back in two thousand and fifteen the most recent attack has troubled many across the globe including the u.s. defense secretary james mattis i have dispatched

a three star general into riyadh to look into what happened here and if there's anything we can do to prevent this in the future the united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis it also provides targeting assistance for riyadh's air strikes and military operations last year saudi arabia paid seven hundred fifty million dollars to american specialists for training it said was meant to reduce civilian casualties independent political analyst and damn glazebrook believes humanitarian concerns are unlikely to change should the u.s. position on the conflict. their war in yemen really is the is the vietnam of this generation reality will force a change but unfortunately morality won't a bus full of under ten's being butchered will not change the stand of the us the resistance on the ground will ultimately change the standard of the us i mean brutal and disgusting as this latest massacre is the reality is that at least one

hundred thirty children. have been being killed by this war every single day that's according to save the children not necessarily food direct test rights but through . famine conditions as a result of the deliberate targeting of this is well documented by the aggressive by the aggressor forces the deliberate targeting of agricultural infrastructure of key transport infrastructure necessary to moving supplies around the country. and of course with the blockade that arbitrarily stops key supplies going into the country. any time worse than that that's been ongoing for for over a year this this shocking figure of one hundred thirty children per day dying as a result of the aggression and suicide bombing his head afghanistan's capital just as the afghan army is in a tough fight with militants to the southwest more on that and other stories after a break watching our internet.

here now this new attempt at a global unit of the camel global currency. that will be controlled by any government so it has the chance to do what failed to do

to the. bankers and. economists. this is r t international. donald trump has denounced a former aide on twitter after she revealed a tape which she claims is a recording of her being fired manigault newman also accused the president of having no clue about what was going on in the white house says she was just a bad employee. she begged me for a job tears in her eyes i said ok people in the white house hated her she was vicious but not smart i would rarely see or but heard really bad things nasty to

people and would constantly miss meetings and work when gen kelley came on board he told me she was a loser nothing but problems i told him to try working it out of possible because she only said great things about me until she got fired a washington correspondent american explains what sparked the tit for tat showdown between president trump and his former advisor. well trump's former aide omarosa newman who gained fame on trump's reality show the apprentice has now landed up in controversy with her ex boss ever rose oh rose samantha got a new image all rosa secret recording reality star turned white house aide is she a whistleblower or is she a fame junkie newman was fired towards the end of twenty seventeen and then she began writing a memoir about her time working in the trump white house which is set to release this tuesday now in her book she called her former boss a racist a bigot and a massage missed and then she had

a lot of things to say about the administration as well check it out this is a white house where everybody lies the president lies to the american people sarah huckabee stands in front of the country and lies every single day you have to have your own back because otherwise you'll look back and you'll see seventy knives in your bag cording to trump however she begged him for the job but newman is telling quite a different story as she does the rounds on mainstream media sharing private white house recordings with the entire country in one of them trump a surprise that she's been fired but she claims he's not the one pulling the strings the second audiotape is a recording of her getting fired in the situation room let's take a quick look but as you could push this the president is with nowhere to go it's not the down the road this isn't the discussion but many are now trying to figure out how she recorded her firing in what's supposed to be the most secure room and all of the white house.

and this believe it or not even has a former staffer scratching their heads i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not typical something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into to seach

ration room it's totally privet it as someone who spent a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to wrap my head around how insane this is if a carrot for example the cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations that but so potentially has any country or criminal organization that thought to hack a phone it's no wonder the media always cites leaks and anonymous sources at least now we can check off one. now let's cross live to former u.s. diplomat jim john trance who can kind of give us some insight on this first of all just disclosure here i can't believe it is even in our news right now but the white house presumably has a high level of security how is it possible that someone was able to secretly record in the situation room one of the most secure areas of the white house.

as i understand it first off the entire area where the executive office of the president operates is a secure area and the people who are in there are all cleared personnel and are expected to behave ethically as far as taking a device into the situation room that would normally not be done i'm not sure would be any procedure through or specifically checking that unless some highly classified matter were about to be discussed in there and maybe they would take other precautions but normally you would you wouldn't expect you need to do that with people that are supposed to be there in a position of trust and it is a significant breach of trust for someone to be taking those steps that's for sure so do you think that the white house will change its security measures as a result of this incident i mean we do know that because of leaks in the past the white house has actually banned personal cell phones from the building itself it's something i'm afraid we'll have to consider now look i think there is an element of truth here in terms of the backbiting the backstabbing the contentious

contention that goes on in this white house but frankly to some extent i think has gone on in other white houses well i think maybe it's worse in this one partly because of the siege atmosphere that the trumpet ministration has experienced from day one and and to be honest knowing some of the people that are that are in that situation i'm not sure they're all as any more trustworthy than that omarosa is about that trustworthiness i mean i kind of get your idea of your opinion on what rosa did what about the ethical concerns. to record white house conversations in general. i mean we know that that got nixon in trouble and that's one of the reasons why the white house itself doesn't do it as a matter of policy but what about the staff members doing it of their. contemporaries. well you have to wonder is she is she the only one or other people doing that now as i understand it she did sign

a non-disclosure agreement that even if she had recorded something or heard something even if she had recorded jesus heard something she's not supposed to disclose it there may be some i understand legal actions from some of the people that were mentioned in her book that are claiming that she she lied about what they said or what they did so i think there are all sorts of angles to this a lot of a lot of them reflect on her personally but i think the premise of your question is correct that this opens up a whole bucket of worms in terms of water on the procedures what are the protections and what kind of behavior can we expect in the future. jim says that she felt threatened by what the chief of staff john kelly said to her and during her firing and some believe that some of his actions were actually against the law do you think that he crossed the line in any way and not as far as i can tell i mean if this is it in an ironic sense her recording is his protection and

his exact words are clear for people to hear i didn't see any place where he crossed the line in terms of hiring and firing staff as a formal administrative matter that's his call of course he reports to the president but he makes the decision as he said there this is non-negotiable he made it clear he was letting her go that was the end of the discussion and he has that authority i think is on firm ground here all right former u.s. a diplomat jim john just again can't believe we're talking about a former reality star in the white house in this type of a position but that's where we are these days thanks for being with us. all right switching gears now a suicide bomber has detonated explosives at the office of the electoral commission in the afghan capital people had gathered there to protest the disqualification of multiple candidates running in parliamentary elections journalist. reports now from kabul some of the supporters of those candidates who were disqualified from to run for the parliamentarian elections they were they were gathering in

a nearby the independent election commission headquarters a suicide bomber according to police tried to approach the gathering but detonated his explosive ahead of approaching the gathering and they killed himself and one other from from this who were nearby also killed two others wounded but this you know the protests against are you see or elect independent electoral commission all the presidential palace actually has been taking place since since a week almost yesterday we had another protest and a gathering that some m.p.'s who are accused of being and. having every sponsible armed man process in. the same way and they were accusing the government of. the process and they were angry and actually this process

has been continuing today we had another one in a different place so we are expecting that it will it will actually take. take place more of these kind of events because it's the first in the afghan election history. while the city of new which is about one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of the capital is facing fierce clashes between taliban and afghan forces special reports say hundreds have been. on both sides so again has more details on the newest taliban threat facing the afghan government minister of interior said. it confirmed the death of seventy security forces in battlefield two with the taleban in gaza that has been taking place since four days but also i have. heard from some local sources in gaza need that taliban

actually are now with from those locations that have been committing. attacks against. various government is solutions since for days this situation is actually really harsh and the hospital is full of dead bodies and wounded and i have seen fresh footage from gaza that is telling a lot of stories inside the city people are really scared and the highways have been blocked since for days that communication has been down and people cannot communicate with their relatives or we even could not talk to the more our local officials or residents in gaza it has been a very harsh time for gaza it has been like a waltz to city but the government is now saying that they are trying to expel the taliban and they are trying to secure the city but we will see what will happen next recent studies say that taliban forces control or have influence in more than

forty percent of afghan territory least expert says america's campaign there has not only failed but has actually boosted extremism called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks as this war has turned out to be an utter failure it was in a stronger position than it ever was ever since it was ousted from power i don't think the u.s. can do anything if it continues with its own focus just on military. you know militarily speaking it hasn't succeeded so i don't think there is much that the u.s. can do in that regard that i think it's proof that the u.s. has been pursuing guy you were wrong strategy in defeating terrorism on the contrary i think that the u.s. involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has led to the growth of terrorism and sort of leading to the cotyledon to alter the curbing

of terrorism i think that is clear from what we see enough out of. that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty one minutes with your news watch march international stay with us. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to be like the press it's like a three of them all the people that i'm interested in the was in the house. sitting. in

a world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. have been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten colored timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per

second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only. blow in welcome across all things are considered i'm peter lavelle all across the western world the so-called melting pot is melting down immigration legal and illegal is probably the most contentious and divisive issue energizing voters and italy for example the right and left have united on the. in germany the government

may collapse and trump has made this his signature cards can the status quo be sustained. stocking immigration i'm joined by my guest john laughlin in paris he's a historian and specialist in international affairs we have roland benedict or he is the co-director of the center for advanced studies of your ex research and in her god that we have niemeyer he is a german journalist and author all right gentlemen crossed rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated and i'm going to john first in paris and i just kind of kicked this whole discussion off by an observation i've had over the last few weeks and months particularly with the events going on in the united states it appears that virtual signalling has replaced policy and debate because all we're supposed to do is to think emotionally

about this and not use our heads and i think this is what the establishment media and establishment parties want us to think that way to address this issue and if we stop virtues signaling maybe we could come up with some solutions your thoughts john. well there's a lot of propaganda involved isn't there peter i mean we've just seen in the events on the mexican border these very propagandistic pictures of children are supposedly being separated from their parents i'm sure your viewers will remember the picture of the poor little kurdish boy on a turkish beach the dead body of a little boy he was a victim of the migration crisis in the broadcast of his photo was used to elicit sympathy for the plight of migrants and it worked very well but when boy of the same age was killed in a terrorist attack in barcelona the policy was not to show his dead body out of respect for him and for his family so we can see that these images are being used to drive

a political agenda and that is. the problem the problem is that this immigration is being driven by a political agenda it is being driven by a political agenda of european states who are demographically weak the demographic pyramid is inverted there are more old people the young people and for many years and decades now economists and policymakers have decided that in order to rectify this demographic problem in europe we need immigration we need to bring in people from outside in order to pay our pensions and that is the immigration issue. and as long as that ideology remains in place as long as the ideology is believed by these people as it is most notably in germany then i'm afraid the problem will continue ok roland you know thing is that this this is approach with open borders but if you believe that there are open borders then there are no borders to defend i think that's the paradox of what's happening in the western world you want to have open

borders let people come in but then you can't defend your border when it's necessary go ahead roland. well look. look there is no starts seeing like a political entity or a community without borders never in history and unique borders wide because you have to define delimits not related to the few laws and that is what the lefties who live from put school you're going to must says what their system series says so borders that some seem good and not something better when we had the in europe. city kids once very strongly left their story until correct correct. politics on new phoenician of identity and for example descending group and ended the excelled of the european consortium on political research areas and in brussels say today is that we need to define our

identity as your opinions much more no european way right and in a less exaggerated cosmopolitan way because we can't live without borders because if you have no borders you have no rule of law and order finish and you know where you loss of balance and we are not ok let me go to you i mean ok we have a lot of consensus here the media is for open borders the political class is for open borders but you know what the voters aren't for open borders and we're seeing it in election after election i mean isn't it time that democracy be recognized again in the european union i mean we have the austrians we have the italians we have also a new car i could use term fifth column in germany right now that it's waking up to what voters want that in the end they're running on these issues go ahead ralph. yes of course it is true that. bordeaux mirth i must say of leftists and i am

calling myself of after it's at stake because it takes a lot worked out front of the left behind those people who. already live in our country and we need to not take care of our job refugees who have nothing to do with the fact or do actions them up good enough anymore due to privatization of the pension scheme or that of age of good enough or that the rent is too high for apartments those are not due to the refugee crisis but it came up with people are realizing that every left behind and they said hang on a minute harness that kind of as well so this is but a leftist made a key mistake in recent years and especially given two thousand and fifteen happened mrs merkel once and called it a decision so be a shock unless you are going to manage it. people said why don't we manage with ourselves first of course there's a right wing nationalistic. parties are coming up because they take voter sentiment

serious. to do that and especially to have failed completely and that they stood amount of border like. there were no borders and no states which is of course not true there are states and beneath states of course and. i'm lucky that no one wants to live and i know you must think this also brings down to mirko government because she lost control yeah big turn you know the the interesting thing is that these waves of migrants are asylum seekers who are never term you want because it seems to me most of them vast majority of for economic immigrants here but you know they don't really come in on our lair jets do they to germany they don't know they don't fly into airports they kind of walk through the continent you know that's what makes me feel really bad for the greeks and the italians ok i mean if germany wants those people fine but it's not being done the right way even according to e.u.

law it's ok so i mean the germany cannot be that the decision maker of immigration in europe that is into. ensley and i democratic and against the rules of the european union go ahead john you know there's no doubt that the rules are being broken because indeed germany by saying that a million refugees are welcome and then by trying to offload them onto other members of the european union worlds indeed breaking refugee law and breaking the european union's own rules that's for sure i'm in strong agreement with what roland said about borders and the need to protect them but i have a different conclusion i disagree that this is a european problem and indeed i think that the or that this can be solved with european measures and i think that the the reflex position of european leaders which is to say that we need a european solution to this problem is precisely wrong it is precisely the fact that we have a european union with

a borderless internal space the showing an area which has caused the migration problem in the first place i first visited the song at camp near cali in the late one nine hundred ninety s. the migration crisis that we're talking about now didn't start in two thousand and fifteen it started in the one nine hundred ninety s. when italy joined the schengen zone and from that moment onwards the borders of the mediterranean were on the english channel yeah and it's there is a direct relation of cause and effect and what we saw in two thousand and sixteen after hungary and creation and the other countries built fences to close off the balkan route is that national solutions are the ones that solve this problem not european ones and we are now i hope seeing the same result with the italians who are taking matters into their own hands nationally defending their national territory and it's only by doing that with because they have that the navy they

have the ability to.
