this is national security adviser john bolton with the president claiming both he and his administration disagree with many of the. pictures branded a c.n.n. report that the u.s. secret service is a high level spy for moscow in 2017. and israel's prime minister says that he will annex the west bank's jordan valley if reelected this weekend.
5:01 pm
joining us here in moscow you're watching r.t. . donald trump has been wielding his axe once again with national security advisor john bolton the latest victim sacked according to the president over several disagreements more than explains. announcement was made on twitter just before john bolton was about to speak for a press briefing john bolton the national security advisor of donald trump who is associated with the neoconservative school of foreign policy an advocacy of u.s. military intervention is and according to trump's tweet he's out in full jumbled last night video service is no longer needed in the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did of his in the administration and then full on his resignation which was given to me this morning i think john very much for his service will be naming a new national security advisor next week the 70 year old former u.n.
5:02 pm
ambassador gave a slightly different version of the then it's leading to his terminations her resignation then was given by trump on twitter he spoke to the press saying quote i offered my resignation last night and president trump said quote let's talk about it tomorrow well apparently the announcement came on social media they did not talk about it as was planned it simply was an announcement that he was done now mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state also weighed in giving his analysis of what happened with john bolton and what's going on inside of the administration is what we heard from mike pompei oh i'm never surprised. and i don't mean that i just this issue but i would say this the president's intitled to the staff that he wants that at any moment this a staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people they trust and values and whose efforts and judgments benefit him and
5:03 pm
delivering american foreign policy i don't i don't i know everyone's talked about this for an awfully long time there were death with places that invested and i told him i had different views about how we should proceed now john bolton has a reputation for being an advocate of u.s. military force and interventionism around the world he has vocally supported intervention in places like syria. venezuela north korea and iran and there were some moves by the trumpet ministration that certainly fit in with his overall viewpoint he strongly advocated that the usa withdraw from the iran nuclear deal and the trumpet ministration did indeed do that furthermore he has been strongly in favor of trump's moves against venezuela and he supported the withdrawal of the united states from the intermediate nuclear forces agreement with russia however according to the reports paya was strongly opposed to donald trump's a meeting with kim jong il and one which he went to the demilitarized zone and then crossed into the democratic people's republic of korea furthermore from what we
5:04 pm
understand trump also disagreed with thomas aoe and the suggestions he was making when it came to recent events regarding iran or oil tankers an ongoing talk of some kind of negotiations so there were some very solid disagreements between donald trump himself and his national security advisor and it appears that those disagreements and now led to john bolton stepping out of the trump administration. former u.s. congressman ron paul believes that bolton's resignation was a long time coming. britain i think is making progress bold you know but then any rule is this so i think the timing is just too late i mean not too late bed later than it should be as you have been a long time ago a lot of people here didn't even want his appointment because he's the only was able to take a position that didn't require senate approval so he had this position which is
5:05 pm
very very important but he's been a monkey wrench in donald trump's policies of trying to back away from some of these conflicts around the world and it's led to a lot of frustration from a lot of people like myself that would like to see you know back away from our involvement so in so many places around the world i think there are different people pulling strings somewhere one hamby very very much engaged there are powerful forces there financial people military industrial complex and many others the neo cons in the media. hope fiction has branded a c.n.n. report that the u.s. secret service is expected a high level spy for mosco in 2017 citing multiple sources c.n.n. claims the spying was extracted as it was feared donald trump might expose him but the white house and cia say this story is incorrect taylor has been delving deeper . secret missions exfiltration of spies top level
5:06 pm
intelligence it sounds like the makings of a thriller and in a way it is because this is an elaborate tale recently had by c.n.n. multiple trump administration officials tell me that these are officials with direct knowledge that in a previously undisclosed to secret mission in 2017 the u.s. successfully extracted from russia one of its highest level sources covert sources inside the russian government the c.n.n. report claims a man at the highest level of the kremlin was secretly feeding theeye a information for over a decade that he was so ensconced within the kremlin wall so friendly with and trusted by president putin's inner circle but he even managed to photograph documents on the russian leaders desk u.s. intelligence officials had already expressed concerns about the safety of this by other russian assets given the length of their cooperation with the u.s.
5:07 pm
this according to a former senior intelligence official the report is peppered with vague mentions of secret sources mysterious interviews and skips a bit on the facts facts make a thriller indeed the c.n.n. report doesn't even given in playing of the identity of the informant but the russian media was willing to give it a chance and landed on one smiling cough it's been reported that he previously worked at the russian embassy in washington before becoming up to stay counselor at the presidential administration not really the pinnacle of influence which is true that smiling cough worked in the president's administration but several years ago he was fired his position wasn't that of a top official all the discussion in the u.s. media about someone urgently extracting someone and saving someone it cetera it is part of as you know a sort of pope fiction genre but c.n.n. probably felt it had a bombshell report on its hands it found yet another. unverified crime to suggest
5:08 pm
it was the russians not the american public who lacked a trump and then showing that washington had successfully outwitted moscow by sneaking a legit spy out but what could make this revelation for more delicious how about trump also being shown to be an unreliable slip president now that would be called a person directly involved in these discussions said that the removal of the russian was driven in part by concerns that president trump in his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and that that could contribute to exposing the covert source as aspiring so just to clarify the cia gave up its most important source on the off chance that trump might spill the beans a source that's been cultivated for over 10 years in the country is readily says it's almost impossible to infiltrate i could even buy into that if the cia gave me something to what quits i mean they aren't exactly trump's cheerleaders their
5:09 pm
response that must have come as a bitter blow at c.n.n. h.q. misguided speculation that the president's handling of our nation's most sensitive intelligence which he has access to each and every day driven alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate i love a good story but anonymous sources classified information which is impossible to verify trump is incapable of dealing with the discreet demands of office and washington being a step ahead of everyone well it just fits all too neatly. israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has announced a free later this weekend to go next the jordan valley that forms part of the west bank and has long been labeled by critics as occupied territory. on the suit. we are on the eve of elections president trump said that after the elections he would present his deal of the century for a permanent agreement for israel's and the palestinians it will be presented just
5:10 pm
a few days after the elections and it's right around the corner this offers us a great challenge and a great historic once in a lifetime opportunity to apply israel sovereignty over our settlements in judea and samaria and also other areas with significance for our security our heritage and our future. the disputed territories of the west bank and gaza strip of long being a seed of discord more than 600000 israelis including in west jerusalem live in the settlements which 1st appeared in the region more than 50 years ago many international organizations including u.n. and e.u. call these areas a serious breach of international law but israel rejects the accusations claiming the territories never belong to any particular country and so no legislation has been violated let's go on the mitchell barac believes no one will take this issue seriously on an international level. i think it's a cynical use of policy it's
5:11 pm
a cynical use of a very serious issue it's a serious use of a contentious issue internationally although most israelis would agree that the bekka valley belongs to israel and will remain in israeli hands for many many generations but to use it now i think a lot of people think it's a political stunt and it's a political stunt that may work have we seen any international reaction from the united nations or anyone else when the united states recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel and move this embassy to jerusalem the answer is no words are very easily used but seldom in force and whereas it is a contentious issue there are people that think that maybe these territories are occupied there are a lot of people that think that they're not and right now the united states is in the corner of the and again this is a lot of electioneering. china slammed germany for hosting the prominent hong kong activist joshua wong beijing described it disrespectful that he
5:12 pm
was greeted by the german foreign minister. monday the phone china is extremely unhappy at germany for hosting hong kong separatists so they can undertake anti china separatist activities and a german foreign minister publicly meeting such people it is disrespectful of china's sovereignty interference in its internal affairs. of course woman donald cool to pick up the story from berlin. berlin recently rolled out the red carpet for hong kong opposition leader inviting the 22 year old busy to a human rights event at the boom to stop once there jumped at the opportunity to call hong kong's political situation part of a new cold war we are in a new cold war hold all the further we are for you to stay with us in resisting and probably. it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big weeks and foreign minister heiko moss was one of the 1st to be won over after
5:13 pm
hearing that one was detained in china for breaking bail and then released just a day before the event moss was overjoyed. we will come the fact that joshua warm is free. and what could make a bull in the stock conference even better a photo shoot wong was pictured with the leader of the white helmets an organization often praised by western leaders and just as often accused by critics of staging chemical attacks and supporting terrorist groups by now was probably an expert at posing in pictures because just last month he was caught on camera meeting with an employee of the us consulate political division in hong kong and although wong has been hustling hard for that western support he's also been very critical of the west and the fact that they haven't done enough to figure i want the conflicts to be resolved without violence and anything else would be a disaster joining the law is a help but it's
5:14 pm
a country with 2 systems and this isn't hong kong gives people more civil rights than it does a china. i think chancellor merkel for speaking to hong kong in beijing but was far less clear than the hong kong people wanted germany's business interest should not override the universal value we believe in if the chancellor wants to do something then she must help president she responds to the cool for free elections of course china is even more against western officials stoking the flames of opposition in hong kong they've already labeled meetings with western officials as meddling and the root cause of violence in hong kong but based on this most recent rendezvous it seems the west is not listening donald quarter r.t. berlin. i'm joined on the line of a sort of asia pacific strategic and economic policy specialist welcome so why do you believe that just. that it seems the western media and governments are like.
5:15 pm
oh well he's popular there because the hong kong issue has become a huge embarrassment for the government of china and they would like to put up a trade had to continue that embarrass me. for china and so they provide oxygen to this movement and 2 to 2 individuals leg jeffrey wang. the west really has not taken much action and will not take much action on this front unless there's a complete breakdown in violence there but at this point of time it's happy to see hong kong and china on the back foot and under big rio from paris mint china has been angered by top officials globally welcoming. in do they have a point claiming that this is interference in their internal affairs. well this is absolutely an interference in their internal affairs i think mr wong would know
5:16 pm
best of all that china but that one kong is governed by something called the basic law and the basic law does look for full and free elections but says that that is an ultimate goal there's a pathway to get to that ultimate goal ultimately goal that is something to which can be realized down the line but one country 2 systems is a complex arrangement and it requires both sides and i mean both sides i mean the hong kong government and the civil society to engage with each other to find a way to be able to implement one country so 2 systems in that spirit mr mr wong is not interested in implementing it in that spirit here rather wants to have full democracy which he wants to use as a foundation there after for self determination which he has looked at and that self-determination frankly works look seasoned scenes in the eyes of beijing as being just plain subversion and the protests that we've seen in hong kong at times
5:17 pm
that spilled over into violence certainly that's sure to unnerve some investors to think the western support that was saying for wong does that help or does it hurt stability in hong kong. i think it hurt stability it at one point of time early in the summer it was helpful there were demands of the protesters ritual legitimate with regard to the extradition bill and with regard to how the police responded in instances with regard to the protests on both these fronts and these are the critical areas where the welfare civil society and the protestors have had a strong grievance. the hong kong government has moved in the direction that they have asked for the bill has not just been declared dead has been withdrawn and independence bullies. commish police commission framework has been already exists and it is in the process of putting together an inquiry on with regard to police
5:18 pm
activities so there really isn't that much to protest about except for a larger welfare and standard of living grievances which is an ongoing issue but what happens is the protests the the the main topics of the protests have been a grad rest but they have now escalated their demands and these sort of end meeting mr wong and the congress u.s. congress getting in the act just provides that much more oxygen for the movement to keep going on even though their protests have been met which is in evidently then drifting towards violence so both thanks for joining me here in r.t. sort of go to my guest asia pacific strategic and economic policy specialist. british prime minister boris johnson is the last 2nd to turn to triggering a snap general election success at the ballot box could have allowed him to repeal it recently passed a law aimed at blocking a no deal brags it during
5:19 pm
a heated debate in parliament both sides of the house accuse each other of playing political games. many of our constituents will be confused tonight because the labor party this ask for a general election for 2 years turned it down and we have to stop the peace process and we are not walking into traps laid by this prime minister became the 1st leader of the opposition in the history of our country to show his confidence in her majesty's government yeah why did how i mean the opportunity to have an election with a view to removing the government this house has lost the respect of the country as a laughingstock around the world the prime minister has warned his peers in office our number here. parliament is now prorogue or suspended until october the 14th which is a massive 5 weeks away even after
5:20 pm
a horrendous week in parliament and in fact that terrible night last night forrest johnson still maintains that breck set needs noted that this government will not to marry brick city rather we will not allow the emphatic good into the referendum to be slowly suffocated by corridor thank you. mrs earth is the point of. delivery that's what they want. to force us to pay for yet another part of this. i would everybody to know there are circumstances in which i ask brussels to do that we're leaving on the 31st of october gives all bugs timetable was absolutely mammoth us included kill emergency debates plus boris johnson's notion on a snap general election the 1st emergency to pay requires the release of noto preparation documents actually squeeze through with
5:21 pm
a majority of 9 basically requiring the government to hand over documents and messages and can. indications it also includes the operation yellow hammer documents there that files on no preparations they too should also be to disclosed under this motion now the government yesterday responded saying that it would share these appropriate documents that believes it's absolutely unprecedented and disproportionate move very parliamentary session has now wrapped up once and for all said october the 14th 5 weeks away and for the opposition it seems like it's been quite a good end to that session for boris johnson it could get a lot worse. may have entered its 5 week suspension but not before plenty of commotion in the house of commons peace held up signs that read silenced or even threw herself right across the speaker of the house is chair to prevent him from leaving a conservative politician roger evans believes that another briggs's delay would be pointless. i think he will do his level best to get this done by the
5:22 pm
31st of october without an extension if he doesn't bring considerable discredit upon the political process in this country because we keep seeing this difficult decision kicked into the long grass what difference is the 3 month extension really going to make anyway if you look at the timetable for this time if you were about to go off into the party conference season and i don't know if the parties were actually seriously considering abandoning those conferences so they could continue talking about the solutions they didn't want to briggs it which is all you have or hear out of the house the cons but we've got the lived conference coming up then the labor conference then the tory conference so we would expect people to be away from parliament and not having debates and making a lot this time if you or anyone. well grampa's praise the country's record military spending but said it was only forced to do so because of the threat posed
5:23 pm
by others. we've achieved record funding for the u.s. military 700000000000 dollars last year 716000000000 dollars this year 738000000000 dollars and you know i'm a big believer in budgets but we had no choice we had to rebuild our military with all that's going on today with china with russia with radical islam with everything that's happening. the latest report by the congressional budget office has revealed the federal budget deficit has exceeded a trillion dollars that's an increase of $160000000000.00 over the previous year the body claims the figures will improve and september's tax payments are taken into account earlier i spoke to them bora the us libertarian party politician who thinks the u.s. taxpayers are paying too much for difference. we have an administration that is
5:24 pm
putting the needs of europe of israel of saudi arabia above the needs of the american taxpayer today american taxpayers are paying for a military many many times the size of what could possibly be needed for the defense of america so that the u.s. military is able to defend europe and israel and saudi arabia rather than letting those countries provide for their own defense the american people are waking up more and more people know that the united states spends more than the next 7 nations combined on military many people start to figure out that by being part of nato the united states need to maintain a military many times the size of anything we could possibly need more and more people are clamoring to leave nato leave the un just use the military to defend america and no one else we're not the military is not supposed to be a global charity service it's supposed to be protecting the american people at the lowest possible cost to the american people and given the advanced military
5:25 pm
technology that we have that cost is close to nothing. 5 senior officials in london have been banned from office after an inquiry into the actions of an isolated. who was jailed for life last year for attempting to create what has been called a.j. how this child army from young worship is questions being asked about how it was allowed to happen to reports. step around the corner of this suburban london street and the windows on the building and the plaque on the door will reveal that this is in fact a mosque and it's a mosque that sin a bit of trouble right now for hiring a dangerous extremist to teach children and then trying to cover it up 26 year old hack taught islamic studies at the mosque despite having no qualifications and being employed as an administrator. was jailed for life
5:26 pm
during the trial the court heard details of how he'd shown extremist materials to children that had attended the off to school club here and how he tried to mold them into an army of kids. who knows terrorism like how to fight he wants a group of 300 men. and those children to reenact the westminster time he was showing them very concerning terrorist related propaganda videos videos such as beheading videos.
5:27 pm
yet you power laws them with fear from the point of view that if they raise the law then something similar would happen to them. an inquiry by the charity commission that's the governing body which regulates the way that charities in england and wales a run has now disqualified 5 of the senior officials that used to run the sh. academy for failing to safeguard children as young as 11 from the attempted radicalization by that former employee many of the children that attended the classes here were too frightened to tell their parents about the graphic and violent videos that are hike was showing them now that the buses here have been removed an interior mosque manager has been appointed to get things back on the straight and narrow but for the residents of ripple road there are still questions
5:28 pm
about how hacks activities were allowed to continue unchecked for so long overseas quite frightening being and you just because you see everything on the news and obviously it's always quite far away isn't it so it is a bit frightening to think that that's there when i'm here you know as i've been an influx of different nationalities worldwide. i wouldn't sound surprised at all i mean it's a national. problem isn't it it's not a problem for our suits across the country it goes out just around the corner it could be money he was doing it i would never know because you know it's you just never know where there's a large fire there are no passing it's not just the board the management ones who have just been dismissed for their failures because it's more than just a failure because when you read the report they are chiefly. the investigators into it but it's obviously a failings on the education system in the area to actually fully check before
5:29 pm
myself i think it's also a problem where anybody who questions anything to do with islam is vilified and that's a real concern but people should be able to openly raise concerns of anything that they feel is a problem and let it be investigated and if there's no problem phone off. then obviously the children are the pio. because the rough things up of that with more for you in half a. join me every thursday on the alex song i'm sure i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics for those of us i'm sure i'll see you.
