fire says national security adviser john bolton to the president this administration. of bolton's idea. fiction branded a c.n.n. report that the u.s. secret service is extracted a high level spy from moscow in 2017. israel's prime minister says that he will annex the west bank's jordan valley if reelected this weekend. great to have your company. donald trump has been wielding the ax once

again says national security adviser this time becoming the latest victim that's john bolton sects according to the president over a number of disagreements killam open expects. 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. 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 thank john very much for his service i'll be naming a new national security advisor next week the 70 year old former u.n. ambassador gave a slightly different version of the vents 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 palm pale i'm never surprised. well yes i don't mean that on just this issue but i would say this the president's intitled to the staff that he wants that at any moment 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 in delivering american foreign policy i don't i don't i know everyone's talked about this for an awfully long time there were definite 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 pompei 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 understand trump also disagreed with peo 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. joining me now live on the line is retired u.s. naval intelligence officers steven rogers stephen the timing of john bolton's depart chip might be a surprise to many when you look at all the pressing issues on the table for the u.s. around north korea afghanistan do you think any one of those in particular might have been what proved to be the tipping point. well couple of things to keep in mind john bolton was rather more hawkish than any national security advisor that i've seen at least in my lifetime he was opposed to the president taking steps

to sit with foreign leaders across the table look when president trump suggested that lattimer putin be invited to the g. 7 summit was opposed to that the president recently wanted taliban to come to camp david and talk and so it seemed to be a situation where the national security advisor john bolton was not respecting the wishes of the present united states the president is the duly elected representative of this country and mr bolton had an obligation to support the president's policies because the ball also had a lot of disagreement with secretary of state might pompei o and as a result we now see what this culminated in today. bolton was in particular a hard line on iran with him do you think that could mean improved relations these tensions perhaps between the u.s. and iran. well this is going to be up to iran president

trump has been very consistent in making sure that the security of the national of the national interests of the united states is protected iran is hurting very badly their economy is crashing they've got a lot of problems there as a result of these sanctions so i don't think you see any change in any policy that president trump has taken with regard to iran. john bolton would have been a familiar face for many of the countries that the u.s. dealt with is it created a bit of uncertainty even among stylize how exactly relations are going to be with the u.s. now he's gone. well i don't think so the president has a good number of very skilled people around him a lot of diplomats in his working circle i don't think we're going to see very much anxiety over this of course change is always something difficult for some people to accept but the president's been consistent america 1st and he has gone down that

road and no one should be surprised that as he moves forward that will continue to be his the. troops burning through the national security adviser's what is it one a year now i think it's that's 3 been and gone what does the next person in that position have to do to stick around a bit longer well here's what's important that whether you're a national security advisor or any subordinate to the president of the united states you have to be in support of the president's policies you have to be a team player it can't be your way or the highway and i surmise that this is what happened with regard to john bolton i know john bolton my vet had the pleasure of meeting him a few times but at the end of the day you have to be supporting the policies of the man who was elected to office and in this case it was president donald trump so the next security advisor that comes in yes i'm sure the president will listen to his

opinions and his views but at the end of the day yes to be supporting the president's policies they've been great to speak to appreciate you coming on stephen roach is my guest former u.s. naval intelligence officer thank you always a pleasure. and through these now pope fiction is was branded a c.n.n. report that the u.s. secret service is extracted a high level spy from moscow in 2070 something multiple sources c.n.n. claims the spy was extracted as it was feared that double trouble might expose him at the white house and cia said the story's incorrect saskia taylor has. secret missions exfiltration of spies toplevel intelligence it sounds like the makings of a thrilla and in a way it is because this is an elaborate tail recently add by c.n.n. multiple tromp administration officials tell me than these are officials with

direct knowledge that in a previously undisclosed to secret mission in 2017 the u.s. successfully extract it from russia one of its highest level source's 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 a who for a decade that he was so ensconced with end the creadon and wool so friendly with and trusted by president putin's in a circle but he even manage to photograph documents on the russian leaders desk u.s. intelligence officials had already express concerns about the safety of this by and other russian assets given the length of their cooperation with the us this according to a former senior intelligence official the report is peppered with think mentions of secret salsas mysterious interviews and the skimps a bit on the facts fucked off trolled terry make a thriller and deed the c n n report doesn't even give an in playing of the identity of the informant but the

russian me tail was willing to give it a chance and landed on one i yank smile in cough it's been reported that he previously watt to the russian embassy and washington before becoming up 3rd to stay counselor up the presidential administration not really the pinnacle health influence it is true that smalling cough worked in the president's administration but several years ago he was fired his position wasn't that's of a top official all the discussion in the us media or about someone urgently extracting someone and saving someone it cetera it is ponce of as you know was sorts of pope fiction genre but see and and probably felt it had a bombshell report on its hands it found yet another unverified crum to suggest it was the russians not the american public who lacked a trump and then showing that washington had successfully outwitted moscow by sneaking that alleged 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 trumps cheerleaders their 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. israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has announced if reelected this weekend he will an x. the jordan valley forms part of the west bank and has long been labeled by critics as occupied territory. in 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 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 seat of discourse more than 600000 israelis including in west jerusalem live in settlements which 1st appeared in the region more than 50 years ago many international organizations including the un an e.u. of cool things there is a serious breach of international law is route rejects the accusations claiming the territories never belonged to any country and so no legislation has been violated that mitchell barac believes that noam will take the issue seriously at an international level. i think it's a cynical use of policy it's 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 bekaa 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 its own you know and again this is a lot of electioneering. the attention being given to prominent hong kong activists by some western governments is provoking reaction from beijing that story and more after the break. when almost seems wrong. but. just don't hold. me.

to shape out just because you add to it and it gains from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves while the party we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present. something want to. get it right. it's like the korean people are. interested. they should.

talk about china slammed germany for hosting the prominent hong kong activist joshua one being beijing is described as disrespectful that he was greeted by the german foreign minister. china is extremely unhappy at germany for hosting hong kong separatists so they can undertake anti china separatists activities and a german foreign minister publicly meeting such people it is disrespectful of china's sovereignty interference in its internal affairs. of these double quarter has more of 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. we urge everyone to say. it is 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 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 to. you st. 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 u.s. consulates 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 of the food. 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 a country with 2 systems and the system in hong kong gives people more civil rights than does the chinese. 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. the hong kong issue has become a huge embarrassment for the government of china and they would like to perpetrate there to continue that embarrassment for china and so they provide oxygen to this movement and $2.00 to $2.00 individuals leg geoffrey one. 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 unders degree of embarrassment on 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 part for it 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 salute 2 systems in that spirit. british prime minister boris johnson has lost a 2nd term to to trigger a snap general election success at the ballot box could have allowed him to repeal a recently passed law aimed at blocking a no deal bragg's it during 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 these proceedings 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. i did how you 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 a horrendous week in parliament and in fact that terrible night last night boris johnson still maintains that breck set needs noted that this government will not today brics it rather we will not allow the emphatic good into the referendum to be slowly suffocated by corporate thank you very much he says is the point of.

me 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 orbits a 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 a majority of no i basically requiring the government to hand over documents and messages and can. cation it also includes the operation yellow hammer documents there's a files on preparations they too should also be to disclosed under this motion now the government yesterday responded saying that it would share these appropriate documents but believes it's an absolutely unprecedented and disproportionate move

very parliamentary session has now wrapped up once and for all till 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. arment may have entered its 5 week suspension but not before plenty of commotion in the house of commons when pete holding up signs that read silence one even threw himself across the speaker of the house's chair to try to prevent him from leaving a conservative politician roger evans believes that another break that delay would be pointless. i think he will do his level best to get this done by the 31st of october without an extension if he doesn't it will 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 they could continue talking about the solutions they didn't want to briggs it which is all you ever hear out of the house of 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. an explosion has occurred in the afghan capital close to the u.s. embassy the blast was reportedly caused by a rocket though no one has yet claimed responsibility the attack comes just as the u.s. prepares to mark the anniversary of the september 11th attacks which led washington to intervene in afghanistan back in 2001 so the 1st such incident since u.s. taliban peace talks were canceled by president trump over the weekend afghan officials say that are no reported injuries will bring in any new information as it
