oh. the final terrorist stronghold in syria sees the us russia over al qaeda affiliates there on the anniversary of the nine eleven attacks. coexistence with terrorists is impossible those are all branches of al-qaeda which we have been fighting since the terror attacks in two thousand and one all we've seen are the actions of cowards interested in a bloody military conquest. coming up in the program a suicide bombing kills thirty two people at a rally in afghanistan against the local police chief twin blasts in the same

province targets school boards during rush hour also ahead. but. there is an international mission to tens of thousands of my going to. i think the citizens of pay my salary in order for me to control my country top level insight into your of smy growing crisis please hardline interior minister talks exclusively to r.t. . around the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself you know me a welcome to the program. the situation around where the biggest bulk of terrorists are now located in syria has become the focus of the latest meeting of

the un security council well samir account joins me live now from washington with the details on those talks hi there samir just tell us give us a feeling about how and your relations are over syria after tuesday's debate. well it doesn't look like everyone's on the same page now everyone that's currently involved in it live was present at the meeting and we heard a pretty harsh rhetoric coming from all sides and of course from the usual culprits let's check it out. coexistence with terrorists is impossible those are all branches of al-qaeda which we have been fighting since the terror attacks in two thousand and one and from whom we can expect the worst attacks imaginable. let's not waste time with the descend from ation distractions and outright lies that the assad regime and their russian and iranian partners constantly use to distort this conversation now iran and turkey were

special guests of the meeting and they all refer to reaffirm the territorial integrity of syria along with china bolivia kazakhstan and russia now while all other member states applauded the efforts of the peace process the u.s. shut it down calling it a failure but what separated the likes of russia china and iran from the western bloc is that they maintain their position of advancing some sort of political process whereas the western bloc called for a political transition what that translates to well to put it simply the west thinks that assad must go mind you he is the democratically elected legitimate leader of syria but russia pointed out that it live province is the last remaining terrorist stronghold in the country and also one of syria's deescalation zones even saying that it seemed as though some of his colleagues would rather not see it liberated but despite the fact that the u.s. doesn't really have any faith in the talks the three countries will be meeting

again in russia now that's according to the russian ambassador but back to do they advance the u.s. and russia when out of again bickering over a potential solutions to the conflict let's take a look. russia iran and assad are done the demolishing in lead and asking us to call it peace but here's the reality a stomach has failed it has failed to stop the violence or to promote a political solution i want to stress once again that deescalation zones were temporary measures they should be either a local peace or a counterterrorism operation i also learned that some of our colleagues are trying to influence our stand our partners you will not succeed in this my american colleagues said that the istana process has failed and maybe you want it to you but i'm going to disappoint you i'm sure we will achieve results. which you would use them according to the syrian representative there are around ten thousand al qaeda

linked militants in it lip and they're referred to as moderate rebels we've all heard that term before now we should also remind ourselves that osama bin ladin was the original moderate rebel in the eighty's backed by the cia and when washington's valiant hero against the evil forces of communism was revealed to be the perpetrator of the nine eleven attacks everything changed now it looks like history might repeat itself but we can only hope for the best and look forward to a liberated terrorist free syria you have thanks for taking us through all of life from washington d.c. . well russia's military sees terrorists in province have started their final preparations for a possible faults flag attack ortiz during a hawkins join kevin on earlier in the studio to this cust the developments. you're upset about accusations and counter-accusations the russian m o d has been warning about this for quite some time today we've got news coming in from the russian

reconsideration center in syria that things are actually on the move according to them camera crews are on site in the libyan the town of jews that should good of their filming this alleged incident a false flag operation according to the russians at least based on intelligence from residents from locals in the town itself while they say this footage that they're filming will include what helmets treating alleged victims of a false chemical weapons attack by the syrian government from barrel bombs from helicopters this footage will then be sent to various news channels across the middle east and the u.s. as well within the next twenty four hours of by the end of today at least we have requested a comment from the u.s. department of defense to see if they know anything about this if they can comment on this somehow we haven't heard back but the u.s. has previously denied all of this they've said this is just a distraction it is just propaganda and the threat of chemical weapons use by damascus is very real tensions on all sides these accusations flying around it does

look like something is finally coming to a head there doesn't it you know i mean tensions have been rising and the u.s. has made their position very clear multiple times they've said that chemical weapon use by damascus will trigger retaliation likely military retaliation would strikes by the u.s. and its allies on syrian government forces they've also made clear that any chemical weapon use will be blamed it was printed really on the damascus government so that their position is very clear that's led to clashes between russian and u.s. officials previously things getting quite heated let's take a look just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly you would have syrian own forces have chemical weapons a new plans to use them there is no military in this is the full route we urge the international community to support. collective efforts and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again who would use

that people will not use militarily useless means to draw before three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen what the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be a surprise to anyone that that would be a concern of ours once again. we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there it's not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of eradicating terrorism and extremism. i think it's clear it's shocking that chemical weapons use is even being predicted from any side here as we've said in the past but russia as we say has warned about such provocations what they describe as provocation is that we all agree that the massacres has no weapons and even if they've been using that would be suicidal triggering a military intervention from the west potentially any such chemical weapons use or

even threat to allegation of such chemical weapon use could be the scope of the spark triggering some very serious incidents yeah i just mentioned the u.k. and france have joined washington in warning damascus over a possible chemical attack in libya but germany has taken a step back for an hour saying negotiations should be held between all parties there. you just. want to at the moment it's all about preventing a humanitarian catastrophe in the globe in order to do that we are holding negotiations with all parties and of course first of all with our allies. well berlin has been hesitant to support u.s. strategy in syria in the past it declined to join washington from some of the u.k. and strikes on syria this past april the joint military action came as a response to the alleged doom a chemical attack with washington accusing damascus of masterminding the atrocity around seventy people were reportedly killed in the attack the syrian government

denies any involvement of the time the u.k.'s prime minister came under heavy criticism for siding with washington. because of this house seem to have my say in foreign policy of this country the president trying to. be in this. any neither i nor this government take instructions from any pressure was high. or skepticism over a potential attack in libya is also being voiced by the opposition in the u.k. with the shadow foreign secretary saying britain doesn't rely on information from terrorists and not in the event of an attack it would be crucial to wait for the o.p.c. w. to respond well let's cross live now to michael bradley mike is coeditor of b s news dot com mike good to have you back on the show the u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt has promised quote a strong and united response in the case of chemical weapons being used by the

syrian government front says' it won't tolerate any use of chemical weapons bearing those statements in mind could that mean washington's allies are still leaning toward supporting a strike despite as we were just speaking about skepticism from some quarters. yes absolutely and i think this is more worrying than the strike in april but it's important to point out of the when any western leaders whether it be macron or treason may or trump or any of their representatives in government whenever they talk about a retaliatory strike for the use of chemical weapons they're not addressing the syrian arab army they're not even addressing the syrian government of president assad they're addressing the al-qaeda proxy armies al qaeda affiliates in italy and effectively what they're saying is the hotline is open you can call it your own air strike all you need to do is provide a pretext however lame that pretext may be give us something we can sell to our

publics back home and we'll have the cruise missiles in the air so that's the message is the message is directly to al qaeda and its affiliates in italy and germany as were seen seems wary of a strong response calling for talks on the issue of ellipse so there's almost like a tug of war going on on the continent how do you think other european countries are going to react where will they fall down on which side. i don't know many it doesn't really matter because the scene before is that the french the british and the americans will go it alone anyway its interest in this the last couple weeks we've heard that the dutch government has been supplying arms to terrorists in syria so i think on the whole we always got norwegian special forces obviously inside the country as well as u.s. and u.k. special forces or apparently trapped two hundred of them trapped in italy so i don't i think on the whole european countries have been supporting al-qaeda in syria i think germany is basically i think it's being cautious because it has other

interests at heart it has commercial and trade and economic interests with russia that it doesn't want to jeopardize so maybe that's a note of optimism the germans being fairly cautious but i don't think it would change anything you know we don't even need the o.p.c. w to go in and investigate if you remember the last time in april i was in damascus at the time the west cruise missiles were writing down before while o p c w was still in beirut crossing the border into syria so yeah there's no all that's needed is a pretext and what we've heard already in the last couple of days is is there are news media in the lead and they're ready to get the cameras rolling for the false flag so expected to hit actually tomorrow morning's news and then just to clarify i might weaken the i just for some of you are saying but other european countries supporting al qaeda you know they would say they were supporting rebels but of course we know there's been a crossover between the two has in their e.u. chub but mike has suspended the a kind of serious state news agency do you think that's an effort to suppress

information coming from non western sources on this particular issue. yes absolutely and especially because of this pretext this false flag that we're talking about they only want their approved media outlets there in country already to actually get any footage and get it out to western media companies so it can be aired within the next twenty four forty eight hours i guess. this is part of tourism i use kind of crackdown on what she calls fake news is she's going after the social media companies like google and facebook and actually said to them whenever we want to we want you to close shove this down and shut that channel down and that's what's happening and you know as far as the claims of free speech go that that's just a law i think they will always saw governments whatever their rights to might just finally all not poor speaking a few moments ago the u.k. foreign secretary shadow foreign secretary has urged caution over it lead saying london cannot afford to act between before the o.p.c.

w that's the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons investigates any potential chemical attack that kind of skepticism that kind of died coming from washington's allies do you think we will see more. yes hopefully i mean i think jeremy corbin was saying exactly the same thing back in april that they needed to wait at least for some initial investigation i mean even even the criminal tony blair actually went to the trouble of producing a dodgy dossier theresa may have done nothing she actually produced no evidence whatsoever those the footage from the white helmets. sharpened. robert fisk the bunt when they went to do were in april so yeah they don't need to wait for evidence they don't need it we need to wait for an investigation they surely don't need to wait for o.p.c. w. or any other agency to apportion blame they're already blaming the syrian government they're already saying that president assad is authorized to chemical weapons strike so that you know the troika all the electronics hasn't even happened but blame has already been a question so you know what more can we say apart from there it looks like very

likely there's going to be a big strike and this could lead to obviously this could lead to a conflict with russia and what will three all the final world wars as we should be called in the thoughts of mike brearley coeditor of b s news live in the program thank you. a suicide bombing has hit a protest in eastern afghanistan killing at least thirty two people authorities say dozens more were injured the demonstration there was calling for the resignation of a local police commander local journalists korea has sunny brings us more. today afternoon exactly just a few minutes after. a suicide bomber actually tore it in a group of sue williams who gathered in eastern province of afghanistan in one go to protest against a local police commander below in action districts often anger i hold which is. the taliban group and also isis group at this problem. hole is

counted as one of the insecurity problems of which this group. parentally in this province and mostly launching such trying to of attacks on civilian government civilian government in a situations more likely that this attack also. you know contacted by the isis group. into plastic also conduct such kind of attacks on civilian gatherings in different parts of afghanistan deadly day for that region a twin blast also hit the same province in afghanistan reports say a child was killed four others injured just a word of warning you may find the following images we're about to show disturbing this is apartment clee a little boy injured in the attack the first bomb went off during morning rush hour right side a girls' school then students from

a neighboring boy's school gathered near the scene when a second explosion occurred witnesses say it was that secondary attack that caused the casualties it's a tactic known as double up no group has claimed responsibility but we do know the taliban and islamic state have previously targeted the region all schools have been closed in july for at the time being. brought back to europe and to barcelona where council on separatists are being out in force this tuesday in the spanish region these are pictures. from the rally which mark rooney is national day it's almost one year on as well from the region's independence referendum remember the catholic parliament you know a lot for all the declaration of independence that was in october the first last year according to some estimates almost a million catholics attended that demo they last year propelled the country

into a constitutional crisis it was the third illegal by. those in charge in the council and government who are the protagonist in this challenge to our coexistence and i ask them to cease illegal activities they should abandon their objectives.

we are now applying article one five five because no government at all in a democratic country can accept that the law will be ignored or violated or changed and this has all happened under false criteria and they impose that criteria on everybody else. key leaders and business executives from across the asia pacific region have gathered in russia's port city of lot of stock for the eastern economic forum and one of them. more interesting events so far it was a meeting. between love him or putin and chinese leader xi jinping the two leaders visited a far east themed exhibition giving their cooking skills as you can see. some pancakes are paying me dating them what else of course caviar on the meeting didn't pass with a light hearted exchange over just who actually pays. at the polls that are.

going to be. going to lose you lose your ability to do it was it was supposed to be because it was going to be the real you are just really wanted. yeah that was just the start of some negotiations because there's plenty of business to discuss. and she they've been holding closed door talks with one of the topics discussed we know the support of national currencies our correspondent in vladivostok brings us more on the meeting. the messages from putin paying in vladivostok warned that there was great trust between beijing and moscow when it comes to politics defense and security business to keep growing stronger and stronger and most important the beijing and moscow are looking to get off the dollar at

least when it comes to bilateral trade amid mounting pressure from washington should the to succeed in ditching the dollar as their main currency of trade this could be a clear signal to other countries after all if moscow and beijing could pull it off why couldn't others for one of the rounds of talks the leaders of russia and china word joined by the wealthiest businessmen from the two countries and there was also a behind closed door session the russian ambassador before that session began had hinted that syria would be brought up anyway judging by what was said on tuesday there is every sign that russia and china will continue to act as team players on an international and global scene. meeting plenty of those investors and analysts

on the sidelines of the form he talked earlier to billionaire investor jim rogers and other experts say attending the event ongoing tensions over trade tara are some of the topics touched upon. trade wars have never worked for anybody and no one has been ever want to trade war so this is not a good thing is happening for on the sly is that everybody can find new ways to trade with each other even if there are trade wars it's expensive perhaps but this is a good way for people to share and say what do we do and anybody who knows history and economics knows trade wars don't work countries like china russia japan india and others who do believe that the world must remain to get it must work together must create new forms of cooperation and collaboration have to put capital both political and money on the table to preserve and so this particular cause and forums like these where we are today are actually the new forms of tomorrow it is

in the east east in the economic forum more than the world economic forum but helps there you might find solutions for the asian century. in fact not too far away from where those conversations were happening around three hundred thousand soldiers and thirty six thousand military vehicles were rumbling through the largest military drill seen in the far east in decades. now the story from europe to update you on the un human rights chief has sent delegations to italy and austria to verify how migrants there are being treated that's after a report of increase in racist attacks in those countries. italy's decision to

close its seaports denying entry to m g o rescue ships had serious consequences for the most vulnerable even though we're seeing a big drop in the numbers coming from libya over the past twelve months the number of those who died during the crossing is high in the first six months of twenty eighteen than it was the flow of arrivals in the new creased overall compared to last year it's a trend that's evident in it's a leap but the country still receives a large number the drop in arrivals comes after a populace government took power in june tighten rome's migration policy well italy's interior minister is in the crosshairs over the new rules he's now under investigation for alleged abuse of office kidnapping and a legal arrest that's all after he forced a rescue ship one hundred fifty refugees to stay in port for five days r.t. sophie shevardnadze spoke exclusively to material salvini about the strain the

migrant crisis has placed on europe. that's when there is an international missions that brought tens of thousands of my going to italy alone i think the citizens of pay my salary and in order for me to control who is entering my country the european countries. close their borders and send back fifty thousand people and then try to lecture us on the financial. no not only me. i don't have enemies i see things very differently from on your micro on an angle or merkel on economics immigration the future of europe islam and terrorism we've come a long way there is a historical opportunity next made to finally change the balance in europe and to change our relations with countries beyond europe as well i'm thinking of russia because i've been saying it for years now that i'm in government i will work on it

because sanctions against russia do not make any konami political social or cultural sense. well you know. i'm not against europe i'm in favor of a year of the does few things but does them while leaving freedom of choice on other fronts for individual states this government has already built partnerships in the united states in russia and in china because europe population and economic power would diminish more and more. unfortunately him brussels and in europe they only understand the language of money therefore they're not talking about principles values solidarity but economic issues the e.u. is now discussing the budget for the next seven years seeking to get it approved if we devote all countries and we the italian government from prime minister down have already said that if there is no agreement on the other issues on banking policy i would co-chair policy immigration we won't vote for the budget next in our to

international can china become a super power on what criteria to be labeled as such the kaiser report grapples with that in a moment. when lol may just manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the running plus isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million more you don't need.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus to your home with four hundred to five hundred trees 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't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

i am ask eyes are this is the kaiser important navigating the we board of your mind oh this is an s. . i must be stacey. max you know i'm so excited to get to the second half because you interviewed michael hudson you already did that for us so we're so excited to get to that we're actually going to have this half quite short for the extended interview with dr michael hudson about debt and. of course he is an economist and a historian an economic historian and he has amazing stories but our history is being written today and that is turkey calls us wild wolves that was to abandon dollar in trade turkish president last sunday vowed on karo would pursue non-dollar transactions and trade with russia and other countries accusing the us of behaving like wild wolves he was encouraged to extend and talking to some entrepreneurs and business people and what he said exactly was quote america behaves like wild wall.
