sunday night comment to least also from the m.s.m. . looks like a good spy doesn't cheat the russians by. the must lead or well after much searching here in the heart of brussels it seems that they've been taking me on a bit of a wild goose chase and no we're actually spice. back in the restaurant the only tells me that even if they were filling up the seats they probably will be here you see. it's very difficult to spy when there's lots of noise and you can choose where to sit so you can just arrive here and say there is the commission and i want to sit there a forehead over a belgium state security service once described brussels as being like a kindergarten for spice he said they usually pretend to be diplomats and lobbyist

or shakara journalists so with the trail getting colder and colder it looks like i'm the closest thing to a russian spy now what was that restaurant. r.t. brussels. some of the highlights over the past week of the worldwide headlines on r.t. international your weekly returns in about twenty eighth. join

me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports this list i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. country has gone into a nihilistic fever and that's why i think i'm gonna hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find out what makes america take the charlatans the genius to this question especially american hero this is it we've come to a point around much on what is going on something we always are on the margins someone called the culture as being boring we are about. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bees i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gondo than this maybe people play with different bodies and in this journey. few.

in early february twenty fourth as the made crisis was getting more violent there was a phone call that was intercepted it was a call between the secretary of state for european affairs victoria nuland and the u.s. ambassador. geoffrey pyatt. private chats between. you know what. i think. probably. so you had this remarkable phone call.

of the u.s. government talking about a coup or how they were playing to restructure the government of ukraine. exactly i'm not saying the whole u.s. government feels that way the there is there is division but the neo conservative element very much to change the strategic dynamic in eastern europe. people and they've been at this for a long time they came in around the issue of propaganda they studied how to create hot buttons for the american people they had this experience when they were getting the american people to get excited about central america back in the one nine hundred eighty. and they've been applying those same strategy ever since they were dedicated to achieving their goals they still want to get rid of certain governments they want to regime change in syria for instance regime change in iran. very skilled at this

and they have now inside the news media inside the government means the. they can do a lot to control the narrative of any story so i think in america these days we have somehow told ourselves that there are a lot of ways of dealing with these problems other than hard power lattimer putin cares about hard power the neoconservatives can now demonize a leader of a country that sells with the american people so you don't just sort of argue a policy you attack the leader so the neoconservatives became very skilled at picking out leaders finding their ugly traits and then highlighting them unico bitch you might say was a rather clunky political leader but you make him into a devil he's he's totally corrupt and he's evil and he wants to kill people in the made in these wonderful white headed demonstrators so you get a black cat versus white hat and then you keep repeating that basic scenario and it works with the american people got to realize what vladimir putin is he's an old

k.g.b. colonel it wants to restore the russian empire you make them into demons and the american people find that the way they can understand the world once that happens it's very difficult for a journalist or anyone else to say you know hold it that guy he's got more of a gray happen a white hat or a black at and if you say that you sommelier your unico which apologist or you're putin apologist and and then the attacks come on to the person saying it the journalist the academic or whoever. any good director will tell you that tempo and rhythm are the most essential components to hold an audience's attention . some are. pretty mean you know with. them since they all of you must you suck it out of the news of. the chest. it can also be called a method of betrayal when the allies and followers are relentlessly thrown into the

revolutionary flame. the idea is simple when the preparation. work is done the trigger just needs to be full the second machine into full motion. the murder of politician rafi curry led to the cedar revolution. looking back at the mysterious poisoning of viktor yuschenko right before the orange revolution of two thousand and four we see now that he became a sacred victim himself. most political analysts believe the compassion of the ukrainian people at that moment tilted the scales giving him the presidency. the number of victims among the protesters during your oh my done totaled over one hundred they are called to the heavenly hundred all the sacred victims were immediately in the fall of. the beating of students on nov

thirtieth two thousand and thirteen was the obvious trigger of your own my done those who sent trained provocateurs to the square very well realized that peaceful protesters were the ones who would get hurt the most. it's hard to keep protests going for months on end tensions subside and people inevitably get tired. holidays are also a big danger for revolutionary masterminds people want to be home with their families and friends and one needs to get inventive to keep people in a cold tent city. on christmas day of two thousand and thirteen tabloid journalist and political want to be taught the on a chart of all was chosen to become the tool to whip the protests on my down back

up a civic activist in journalist known for investigating corruption among senior officials was beaten outside. crane's capitol on christmas. her heroic deeds as a reporter looked more like petty crimes trespassing on the presidential residence of victory on a covert age leading the rioting crowd to seize the key of city administration building breaking into a car of the security service of ukraine it looked like tatyana was more interested in making news than reporting it and gaining name recognition that could be turned into votes for her struggling political career in the opposition party fatherland she gave the world media a christmas present in two thousand and thirteen when she was cruelly beaten by unknown assailants on the road despite the fact that in just three days all the suspects were arrested and confessed to beating tatyana during a road rage incident world media kept insisting upon the political background of the crime instantaneously tatyana became

a heroic martyr uniting people around her image the beating coming and the political turmoil in ukraine this is draw if protests your own my done was once again center stage and tatyana in less than two months after the assault she was already healthy enough to attack the office of party of regions the party of victory on a covert each month due to the jealousy much in the people in my neck to look at this in a disability which in my view as they got it was like this group does if one of the staff members sixty five year old i.t. specialist of lattimer's a heart of was killed during the attack. so where is tatyana now well she finally got her position of power in the new government. one month later the time for another act in the play came armenian ukrainian protester sir gagne go on was one of the first to arrive at my don he wasn't radical or violent but instead naive and full of hope. watching surrogate read

a patriotic poem is like watching a casting tape. for the role of a sacred victim lead to simple mourning the most common solicitousness. for this is. unfortunately sergei got the part betrayed by his brothers in arms this video would eventually go viral after sergei was killed early in the morning of january twenty second two thousand and fourteen the circumstances of his death remain unknown to this day even though the whole area of protests was heavily filmed at that time there were no records or witnesses to help the investigation and his body was moved immediately from the scene of the crime sergei became the first killed martyr of your own my done and in a heartbeat the police officers were appointed as his killers almost two years later the official investigation would still deliver no results now it is widely

believed that nico yawns murder was staged by provoke a tourist to escalate the conflict. god speaks to people with the language of science on january twenty sixth two thousand and fourteen hope francis prayed for ukraine addressing thousands of people at st peter's square in vatican city. hate speech and. after the prayer two white doves were released from the papal window and were immediately attacked by a crow and siegel those who understand the language could easily read the meaning of this ailment soon great forces the sea eagle and the crow would be tearing apart to slavic nations the white doves this omen gave hope to the ukrainian people saying that by god's will the doves would be saved but it also predicted severe

hardship and many victims. the events which could enter into the history of the color revolutions as the most massive human sacrifice yet arrived right on schedule one month later. for weeks this european capital has been the scene of a violent uprising. today yesterday yet the protesters are pushing up towards the government district arms here with molotov cocktails but we still have guns and shotguns too. there are casualties on both sides with it. which is just said that there is six dead people out there not just injured dead they say they've been hit by snipers. i have thought of who is the liar who will accept the idea of course this would be

ocean without palestinian i was there on the border the six the seven was there was about is it's got to go or we are going to be slipping i underline the snipping and go once they feel it i underline which means that we will be living in it do you find one this did situation therefore to slide with find itself neither jewish as they claim nor the local i think i was very clear. from the must lead people by as keep the salaam view or smear the focus on the us to use that. to click on the above. you see in the film was not the. most good moment. for the week.

you know shane when you don't then. you know want to. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. came here where did you were before you came here when you lived. in many u.s. states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us somebody even proven innocent of two years on

death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. you were much a little earlier with. the. store naturalist through. the years. consider what order. to libya where we still. might go and here again we meet our old acquaintance from not old in iraq on three part of me who was at the peak of his glorious self proclaimed commandant of my don . which basically means the leader of the radical opposition. so my dad most of that is up to be yourself this is the bus you will

look in on your list. of things will be a host nor do you feel of course addition your bills into the both. the protesters were filmed leading a long line of riot police away it's not clear where they were taking them sixty seven officers are currently reported to be missing fourteen police and forty three one hundred or you can do what social. security and the news three million year. old what's it be or if you want to learn. naturals. because from inside the protest camp the opposition leader vitali klitschko urged his supporters to stay put each of you here should stay strong in spirit he said

because we're not going anywhere. we believe with the video put him in the video what us up as it's. just the what it is. khaki a poor support at the. top of. and you put in the. water and i think yes i'm. in you know when this was. aboard. like in two thousand and four during the orange revolution international leaders felt it necessary to intervene and bring both sides to the negotiating table but he used to us than the. obvious. front valter steinmeyer. wratislaw of sikorsky.

was. putting in the desperation that we were going to. move through. the ukrainian president to end the leaders of the anti-government protests there have agreed on a truce the truth was to give talks between president and the opposition. just like in two thousand and four the opposition or at least its radical faction the right sector headed by dmitri yarrow she had no intention on fulfilling its part of the bargain. to double what they could but yeah but you made it by the date national public radio and you know. what i always said yes thought this boy but i expect book they have a couple so obvious that john nichols double look at it but if we cannot play all of the shot we will stop at a club which at. the celtic will put up a. new. store.

soon lighted the. suppling news beautiful. at the. national. with. you know miss you already did the opposition leaders left saying they may a found a way to end the bloodshed but they want to take the conclusions from that meeting to the people. it was soon apparent that the people were not happy in a solution when the integration we don't believe changes would have stayed on they would have thought it took only a hold it was a quite silly e.u. it is a young for this and it's resisted minister to just. cut it into a. deal of course so yeah we're little. we got a lot of. those who believe that we. are the one you

know. what is the muslim bill of a horn dog or below. us though in the eyes of the news what they would put as it is. the rest. yeah. it is a deal to put you know. we let you get to it. on the studies that show up though if you want. to do this. at the same time was saying its last goodbyes to the victims of the massacre.

it was also welcoming those who came to power at their cost ukraine's parliament has voted for the new speaker of the assembly to become interim president. called on lawmakers to form an interim government by tuesday these latest developments out followed. dismissal of president victory on saturday and they removed be an acoa bitch not following the constitutional procedures for impeachment. but only because it's all is so if the whole is sold. to. the parliament of ukraine consists of four hundred fifty deputies the constitution of ukraine requires at least a three fourths majority to vote in other words three hundred thirty eight votes in favor of the impeachment but only three hundred twenty eight deputies voted yes. the u.s. state department i mean almost immediately said this was

a legitimate government and that was part of this effort to get regime change instead of trying to find some way to revive the for going twenty first agreement where maybe you could bring back in a titular way that became not a possibility anymore then you had eastern ukraine resisting crimea wanting to break away and things rapidly escalating. voters will decide sunday whether they'll leave ukraine and join russia to campaign with the slogan together with russia has the backing of moscow the crimea situation the referendum is also happening during this period very quickly. but it. was through it. that the new. crimean authorities sensing the mood of the populace fully supported victory on the

covert his decision to postpone the two thousand and thirteen european union association deal and side deeper ties to russia. as the events in kiev took their course crimean authorities issued a declaration putting into words the fears. it's people based on the will of the crimea who elected us we declare that we will not give crimea to extremists and neo nazis seeking to seize power in ukraine at the cost of the blood of the country and its citizens after the regime change in kiev rumors began spreading in crimea that the new authorities would be merciless to those that oppose them so i'll give you. this led to the pro russian demonstrations rejecting the new government in kiev. on february twenty seventh the government buildings in the capital of crimea were seized by pro russian protesters. the current crimean government was dismissed and

the new leader surrogate acciona of was assigned as the leader of the crimean autonomy republic when you lead the below. but i share lists. still with you has this should. on march sixteenth the crimean referendum morse held and the people voted to leave ukraine and enter the russian federation. the situation in crimea is being presented as a russian invasion and again nobody who looks at the seriously and looks at the poll numbers some of the poll numbers done by the us government agencies themselves showing that the people of crimea prefer being part of russia in the u.s. news media it's all been presented as the russians invaded they then station sham election with people with guns at their backs somehow they big the ballot boxes to get ninety six percent approval for rejoining russia idea of a referendum in crimea is just quite simply unconstitutional but it does raise

questions on whether these folk really is free and fair especially given the heavy military presence in crimea right now errol so that's how it's been sold to american people the reality is very different yet it's fantastic be any electrical thousands of people have gathered in the capital crime and safety. it's time for one of us funding away from a dem held last sunday in which the majority of people here overwhelmingly voted in support of being reunited with russia. there has been. a slow in the in the when that was. when the. so even the media more disposable so it's. switch to digital but it's something you socially do most but it's unthinkable so it is a place in the.

when. you go when you will be able. to feel this and. i'm just as it comes to. money and. so there was a building also up. in the him and the question was. what was on the phone with up you guys we. don't want out of the money i don't want to

go about. how to meet. mr need to. own. a shuttle stem and we're going to end. there and we'll get a little warmth and then. so the idea. of the. need. for my daughter for sixteen months on a city denoted. by some. just far under our form of isis fighters and no boarding a philippine people ship. but

not for me mad sounding name. just aren't abdulla still don't know who watch waiting for them. to see. the new sam i do not feel. that was how i make it out of you and i might.
