with a figure like zahar django that was that would be it you would see that come the regime completely on ravel and a figure like that hard and it would completely dominate and crush anyone like poor shango in any type of legal today this is just an extension of that no dialogue no compromise surrender. and that's it i mean this is this is their mindset you just facts one important fact there is a hunch and signature and to me sc agreements formally these about agreements between france germany russia. france germany ukraine russia is not mentioned in the me it's good dreams and as a hunch and point needs to be the leader of. the time they kind of there were witnesses to it and their signatures are all still there so they basically killed one of the persons who was a participant in the music agreements and what is very important is that that means process the last time they had

a meeting in the so-called normandy form it was last august exactly a year ago after that we had another formal dialogue there was the russian presidential aide the largest of meeting volcker in belgrade that stopped in january this year for eight months there was basically no dialogue except some walking meetings in minsk now after this assess in asian we got some very strong language from president putin he called it a terrorist act at directress terrorist act there's a spokeswoman for the king foreign minister said that with the west was behind it not on the it not on the the west was behind the ukrainian regime and the ukrainian regime this is a legal case of the reason we go back to the alex and in athens i mean it's really quite interesting is that first of all you have the pushing through and his cronies made it pretty well known that they were anti trump during the u.s. presidential campaign. you have a basically silence coming out of the e.u.

they have their plate full with their own internal problems here they've essentially abandoned ukraine at least overtly is is part of shango or people around him trying to force something trying to get things back and get them back on the map as it were politically to get the attention of these other players. yet i mean they're obviously not moving towards reconciliation and they're moving towards conflict and it's no secret like you said peter that ukraine was actively involved in helping hillary clinton and trump knows that and you know does not care about ukraine and the e.u. does not care about ukraine either but the e.u. did remain silent on this i least expected germany france at least to issue some sort of statement of condemnation the hypocrisy is terrible it's incredible what's going on mark. trump may not like the government in ukraine but in a further sign that trump has no control over his foreign military policy the day

after the assassination and terrorist bombing the u.s. envoy to ukraine volker announced that the u.s. was ready to send more military aid clearly sending a signal of approval for this assassination and that the ukrainian regime should continue in this you know manner of assassinating you know its own citizen its opponents our condolences to his wife his widowed wife and four sons that he leaves behind the people of don boss and all the people of ukraine because they have lost a truly competent and respected game if this is just created a greater divide if that could even be possible here kili killing a very popular leader right gentlemen on this note here i have 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 mistake with our.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be brits. consider like to be for us this is what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. the was a car god

. the was. welcome back to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok and i think go back to alex and athens let's shift gears and talk about syria looking through the pages of the washington post not because i like reading it because i have to for this program we have david ignatius writing about syria and he he's quoting an administration official i suppose we could all play a little game who it is i think i know who it is the official said to ignatius right now our job is to help create quagmires parentheses for russia and the syrian

regime and until we get what we want well that's really straightforward it is clear that the thing much to do with the plume with the whatsoever making sure that the conflict the international proxy war that is being played out in syria that is coming down winding down because of the efforts of syria and its allies including russia it shows the true intentions of the real true colors of the of the the deep state at least in their approach to syria go ahead alex yeah it's a disgusting statement but it's not very surprising either. i think the worst kept secret right now peter is that there is going to be some sort of chemical attack in . sponsored by the white helmets al qaeda isis but obviously no one is reporting on this either no matter how much the alternative media yeah but us here are screaming about what's going on the russian ministry of defense everyone is talking about the delicate situation it in that the warships moving in the u.s.

warships moving in the statements from the u.k. from the u.s. from france that they will attack syria if there is a chemical weapons attack it's i mean that it's so polygyny at what's going on right now they just cannot let it go they cannot accept that assad has what the war is about to win the war they can accept and you know you know mark again. it's not my passion to read the washington post and it isn't my passion to watch c n n m s n b c or the b.b.c. there's hardly a word about this but as i once for some for a pointed out in the alternative media this is one of the biggest hottest topics out there in the mainstream it's invisible well i mean just look at the title of the nation's article how to start syria's bloody fight first of all it's not the final showdown because the syrian government still has the turkish and in american invasions and in eastern north syria to deal with but

you say how to stop the wounds and then you talk about creating as many quagmires i.e. bloody conflicts as possible right until they get the regime change that they want and the article he goes on to talking about us how is it enduring interests in syria beyond killing islamic state terrorists no you don't you have no militias yet a bit dangerous he didn't hear it with those interests i mean i mean this is again this is the people like john bolton that want to kill as many birds with one stone as possible certainly doesn't want to stable syria under the leadership of assad would love to give the russians a bloody nose and to force iran. out of syria but none of those things are going to happen well i like the way. they told us once a dominant position in force to want to go she joins that's why keep sworn in damascus not to take it leap because it is the last stronghold of the swimmers so

look iraq iraq if we believe. that i would go then who wrote an article for them iraq is now probably iranian me so i would move to it you know the proxy allies in iraq because a lot of the russian aviation through its territory in two thousand and fifteen when russia find that it got involved in fighting the terrorists in syria so where did all the money go you know so much money to buy and reform in iraq so many people killed and they didn't want to again get it out because diem of bob it brings up an excellent point here we there are reports that iran is moving certain types of missiles with the permission into iraq with the permission of the iraqi government obviously but you know if we could tie that into the policy that is being announced. indirectly through the washington post is that we are still learning curve would not be you know if the whole point of going into iraq was to

limit the rainy and influence in the region ok now we have i mean it's the same people making the same bad decisions and it always ends badly but nobody loses their job no one loses their job at the washington post go ahead alex. lose their child they get promoted peter some of them are sitting right next to trump and they have trump's ear when it comes to foreign policy they may be even running the foreign policy of trump and i'm you know it goes back i mean how can we not forget george bush mission accomplished in iraq and now you see what's happening today with iraq today with syria and we're hearing the war drums now with the run. same thing over and over rinse and repeat and now the target is iran so all this news coming out about iran whether it's missiles to iraq whether it's anything else it's all about to quote the deceased john mccain bomb iran this is where we're

heading war with iran the geopolitical idiocy of this and the culturally to see is just amazing you invade and regime change iraq remove saddam hussein and you get a shia majority democratic iraq that makes allies with iran and invites them to bring missiles into its own country why not the us has missiles all over the world this short range ballistic missile and iraq was easier in its rich sovereignty back by him by his coalition of the willing and you know these missiles are you know are short range of two hundred to seven hundred kilometers they are just enough to hit riyadh. tel of eve and the us military bases in qatar and elsewhere in the middle east if the us launches an attack on iran and that's exactly what they're there for as a as a backup measure and why should an iraqi allow their own lies with iran and you know they're complaining though about iranians in syria where there weren't any

iranians in the city of affair until you find half the jihadi is in the world to try to overthrow the syrian government now the iranians are in syria invited legally by the syrians who know it haven't you don't get to decide who syrians ally who would have been just a few short years ago i mean the the israelis worried about iranians. illegally occupied golan ok that wasn't even conceivable a few years ago now that's one of their major concerns come on i mean it's really remarkable every time they go after iran in one form or another it ends in failure for them and by default it increases the influence of iran has actually had played . actually invest a few very few resources to expand its influence on the west does it for and i think the neo cons in the us government should be addicted for treason for help spreading iranian influence across the middle east. it's true just a few years ago or including golan heights that was acquired back quartette

tourists were taken there from jerusalem because it was so safe you know no one could imagine in your real immediate reaction there but also look at what happened in general these neoliberals after they had their operation in syria they didn't told paul as so lightly dissident syrian regime which was not really anti west and also the syrian economy to the e.u. you know he was trying to be friends with he was a darling of the older world reformer yes so they they didn't top all of that regime which was not trade in any way what they all lost that much more important ally that was turkey which is now a real dissident inside nato you know and the relations are very bad between washington and uncorrupt so they mess it up every time they want to make it better ok and you know in the united states u.s. treasury has done remarkable things for the turkish lira let me go back to alexander i want to go back to this quote here right now it is our job to help

create quagmires until we get what we want that's really remarkable because usually when there is the regime change mantra is that we want regime change and then you deploy some kind of military arsenal or army planes in this time reverse we've got there on the ground now and there is certain search of a mission quagmires that is plural ok mr go ahead. in search of a mission and until they get what they want it it reminds me of exactly what's happening inside the u.s. the same people that are upset that trump won and hillary laws and they're they're going through the motions until they get what they want if this is the same story they just cannot handle when things don't go their way even though the policies that they set forth where this domestic or foreign are just more rhotic i mean they're idiotic and they never get they never move the way they want them to move and now just like you see in the u.s. they're trying to remove troops they're trying to find find the crime that he did

every little till they get what they want the same thing for syria until they get what they want just said or not it is brilliant and i just this week at the same time we were presented with a perfect example of such a quagmire the russian ministry of defense that announced that it had stopped a terrorist attack on powell myra. they captured two of the people responsible these militants openly admitted there an f.s.a. affiliated they were planning bombings and power myra of the lions of the desert they say they were trained by the u.s. ask the altaf of us occupied military base in south syria they were trained armed and salary there to provide terrorist attacks within syria itself the type of quagmire that wasn't talked about i didn't read that in the washington post march where i actually was in routers but it was a man made in reuters or you know you don't even i tend to think that people and.

in the mainstream media and in the deep state the they've forgotten the fear i mean i guess i'm the oldest one here of nuclear of nuclear conflict well i mean but they now they want to go toe to toe and it seems to me that they really want to give russia a bloody nose in syria and this is one of the things they can't let go how are they they want to give russia blodgett notion. so many places. not only in syria not only in ukraine you know just recently the canadian prime minister announced that he would increase that canadian contingent in law to all of the polices by one hundred man why because russia it's all dangerous and they want to give russia a bloody nose there in the baltics that's. right but i think i understand group put it in the best possible way and here is a quote from him sanctioning the wall of the u.s. and the divergent lee create multiple. yeah and of course that that summarizes what

mark has just said and probably all of these people who plan sanctions you know who organize attacks or insurgents as well i can see where they should be given medals by future historians for. promoting multiple isn't by their own aid using the dollars a political weapon is destroying the value of the dollars and the trust people have in the dollar and again the law of unintended consequences gentlemen to jump in here many thanks and i guess here in moscow and in athens this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us more expanded version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember.

truths may seem wrong. but old rules just don't. let me. get to shape our disdain you can stick up to it and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. in a world of big partisan movie lot 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. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like colored prime tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three 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 number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. four men are sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head. all

four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not share around a corner. as a decisive battle looms over the last a rebel stronghold in syria is it. possible chemical attack by. the german city. sees violent clashes triggered by. the police. national.

party's gain momentum in sweden ahead of next week's general election amid a wave of. you know. broadcasting studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program r.t. international glad to have you with us. all right a crucial battle is looming in the last rebel stronghold in the syrian province of the u.n. special envoy for syria says there are around ten thousand terrorists there and the group is capable of producing chemical weapons however the u.s. state department has dismissed the idea of

a pending false flag attack by terrorists which of course could escalate the conflict further. the issue of avoiding the potential use of chemical weapons if indeed crucial and would be totally unacceptable we all are aware that both the government and have that cup ability to produce weaponized chlorine the russians are claiming now and one other groups are stockpiling chemical weapons and planning an attack so you know and i think that's more false flag type reporting it i'm going to be as a seen now for when you try to play the blame they try to put the onus on other groups and we don't buy into that russia says it has information on the delivery of toxic substances to italy province it claims that they got there with the help of the self-styled rescue group the white helmets and are to be used in a false flag attack russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov explained the

motivation behind the plot. the chemical weapons prove a case in which is being prepared is aimed at keeping al nusra counting on using it against the so-called regime as they call it following the alleged goot a chemical attack russia's warning that rebels will try to stage as similar incident in the evening to draw the u.s. france and britain in get them to hit as sad again russia says an incident is imminent especially after the u.s. and the allies jointly stated that they would act if it looks like outside no instead of a chemical attack that's almost an invitation to do so says moscow. now when the u.s. is steering the situation around we want to know how can damascus have chemical weapons if the u.s. france and great britain destroyed them last year you know what the us and says we never said that from its do or die for the jihad ists rebels nowhere left to

run nothing left to lose and their sponsors the west the gulf which have pumped billions upon. billions of dollars into a cause that's on its last legs the massacres in moscow of trying to work out a deal to reduce perhaps avoid the bloodshed but the jihad for it syria russia adamant these swamp of terror and zealotry has no future. this is the last place for the terrorists so from all points of view this abscess should be removed of course what everybody's fearful of is escalation given the us russian military buildup in the region everyone has a gun pointed at each other and given that this is it the final act of the syrian war the urge to shoot might just be overwhelming the united states doesn't believe that the rebels have that capability whereas there is tremendous documentation to

show that they do have the capability they've probably been storing it for months if not years in the province and they have used it in the past they have that capability and it is a last ditch hold for them so it cannot be ruled out and it's not it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the u.s. is trying to get assad out they're going to continue trying and and even though donald trump wants to. get the u.s. out of syria there are elements within the u.s. government that don't want that to happen back to concerns about the white helmets of the controversial syrian rescue group a political activist and rock musician roger waters from pink floyd who has long been a vocal critic of the organization has shared his thoughts on them with r.t. . if

there is a grassroots. body called the way home as a volunteers. separate for the people who actually started in istanbul it was it didn't start syria was started by an english it soldier. in istanbul but if that body exists. and they and they go and help people of. the russians or somebody else is struck bob's them then i support them whole heartedly with every fiber of my being. put all the evidence points to the fact that that is not the reality i don't know if you did you did you see the the documentary that won the oscar. mean have you ever seen anything so obviously scripted and carefully shot.

roger waters has had plenty to say while on tour in russia this week and our full interview with him starts in the new season of sofia and co right here on our international on september seventh. saturdays clashes in the german city of kevin that's between anti migrant protesters and rival groups left eighteen people injured and saw multiple arrests the city has been hit by an arrest of throughout the week after the stabbing of a local man here is a roundup of what's been happening i. was. this murder has affected us too even though we had nothing to do with it we're still having to

pay the price even though we did nothing. was. was it. please. if you see this place you're behind me so a lot of crime. and so on to steal every seeing and so on and it's too much enjoyment i think we must tell people at the box now it's too much i. have. to be honest i'm ashamed of this city when these right wing extremists spread hate like that we should leave and piece together with the refugees. fleeing what i have seen and calmness is something that has no place in

a concert. usual state it's become a witch hunt mobs spewing hate in our street these have no place in our country. the way you want with extremists have capitalized on this terrible crime is tasteless and apparent and we reject it is not acceptable when people who look for him are being attacked in the course of a spontaneous rally. and migrant protesters have also been displaying photos of people who they claim have been assaulted by asylum seekers blaming flaws in germany's own legal and enforcement systems more details our europe correspondent. migration policy in germany is firmly in focus right now but what to do when it's been decided that the person doesn't have the right to be here and should be deported well at the bizarre end of the spectrum is the case of one man in frankfurt who the city's office of public order confirm to r.t.

has had a whopping five hundred and forty two criminal investigations against him the man who doesn't have a passport can't be deported because the authorities can't prove which nation he originally comes from oh and by the way this has been going on since ninety ninety eight over the last twenty years most of his offenses have involved drug charges driving offenses driving without a license and violations of the residency act but who a year is remains a mystery we have a loose biography that suggests that he was born in one nine hundred fifty nine in north africa in the past he said that he was from morocco and also from his from algeria it could be that he is from one of those two countries or it could be from somewhere entirely different opposition figures say that this case shows the flaws in the current system in germany but i'm not surprised this is the most extraordinary case the mall.
