the headlines in our say the u.s. president fires one of the most hawkish members of this white house john bolton who becomes the 3rd national security adviser to be booted out by donald trump. pulp fiction that's how moscow has branded a c.n.n. report that claims u.s. secret service is extracted a high level spy from moscow back in 2017 and benjamin netanyahu seeks to woo israeli voters by promising to annex large parts of the west bank although it has sparked outrage in the arab world and mornings from the u.s. . hello there she is content in the morning here in moscow are you watching r.t.

international now the u.s. president has sacked his national security adviser citing multiple disagreements john bolton's policies were seen by many as controversial and attracted plenty of criticism. i know everyone's talked about this for an awfully long time there were definite places that about and i told them i had different views about how we should proceed like to me and maybe something down the line is if we end our or if you're. going for your young man comes out of the same group of advisers that led us into war in iraq and here have caused america to put our troops in harm's way for far too often to a little bit of that's john bolton is known for his aggressive approach to foreign policy he supported the u.s. intervention in syria and was staunchly against easing pressure on north korea he also the top to adopt a tough stance to iran and back the scrapping of the nuclear deal and hawkins takes

a closer look at his record. scandals resignations and dismissals are part and parcel of trump's presidency a few policy disagreements a swift tweet from the president's another administration official bites the dust it was clear from the outset but trump and his national security advisor would have their disagreements i'm the one that tempers him but that's ok i have different sides i mean i have john bolton and i have other people that are a little more dovish than him and ultimately i make that decision we can speculate on which exact squabble led to bolton's exit the failed talks on afghanistan the question of russia's role perhaps iran but it seems the animosity lasted until his final day in office i offered to resign last night and president trump said let's talk about it tomorrow i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions

as did others in the administration to trump views himself as a skilled dealmaker who talked tough when needed for bolton but wasn't enough he needed to walk the walk and actively consistently show strength on all fronts. the middle east's russia north korea latin america you name it he held out on compromising stance on sanctions military action and regime change. bolton was one of the key advocates of toppling the moderate government using any means necessary all options on the table ready to go this troika of tyranny this triangle of chairs stretching from havana to caracas to managua is the cause of immense human suffering this is a time for action. trump showed he was willing to meet to negotiate with even the greatest perceived u.s. adversities even if it meant just a symbolic photo op the right intentions seems to be their bed and we like each

other they won't i don't like sanctions because on his country i think they want to make peace i think it's time for bolton though this was unacceptable so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be a short non productive meeting we have very much in mind the libya model from 20032004 while bolton boiled that north korea had violated u.n. sanctions off for missile test and may trump downplayed the incident saying he wasn't spooked north korea fired off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others but not me. taking on iran was perhaps bolton's priority number one within a month of his appointment in april 28th in the u.s. have pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and advocate of preemptive strikes he pushed for military action against iran after a u.s. drone was brought down and as ever his thinly veiled threats centered around regime

change we hope that these new measures directed at the arabian dictatorship will compel the government to re-evaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i. his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction ironically just as bolton prepared to depart speculations been rife on possible talks between trump and the rain in president through army it would have thought that possible after so much hostile rhetoric perhaps the final straw was trump's plan to wind down the longest war in u.s. history including hosting talks with taliban leaders at camp david it's speculated that bolton this was in comprehensible so what's next for u.s. foreign policy will troops was often have little correlation with his actions and the u.s. secretary of state reassures us not too much will change. leave to the present to talk about the reasons he made the decision but i would say this the president's

intitled to the staff that he wants it at any moment as a staff person who works directly for the president of states and he should have people he trusted values and whose efforts and judgments benefit him and delivering american foreign policy it seems that with or without bolton's presence u.s. foreign policy may have more surprises in store during trump's 1st. and hawkins there will be discuss bolton's dismissal with the former u.s. naval intelligence officer steve rogers and also the former u.s. congressman ron paul. john bolton was rather more hawkish than any national security advisor that i've seen the least and my wife time 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 want the 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 president united states the president is the duly elected representative of this country and mr bolton had an obligation to support the president's policies. also i had a lot of disagreement with secretary of state might pompei oh and as a result we now see what this culminated in today every time i think is making progress bold you know but then any rule is a so i think the timing is just too late i mean not too late bed later than it should be as you'd 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 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. that the russian government has described to c.n.n. reporters pulp fiction off to the knees channel claims about the cia be touring a high level spy from c.n.n. reported to quote a source inside the russian government was successfully extracted in 27 saying you know the concerns about the way don't trump classified intelligence but both the white house and the cia say the story is incorrect and as more. secret missions exfiltration of spies top level 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 cia information for over a decade but 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. 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 give an interplay 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 it was the russians not the american public who elected 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 the president and his administration had 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 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 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 trampas in tejpal of dealing with the discreet demands of office and washington being a step ahead of everyone well it just fits all too neatly. the u.n. has issued a stark warning to bending over his newly and i'm supplants for the west bank israeli prime minister is up for reelection next week and he's promised to parts of it if he winds. 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 and the palestinians 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 of significance for our security our heritage and our future any. israeli decision to impose its laws jurisdiction administration

in the occupied west bank is without any international legal effect i think such a such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving negotiations regional peace and the very essence of a 2 state solution. of the council is considering this announcement a serious development and a new israeli aggression through its intention to violate international law the un charter and the concerned resolutions of the international legitimacy when the area is home to some 3000000 palestinians and increasing numbers of israelis have settled that over recent years with major international organizations labeling it occupied territory and this concern say that a move by israel to seize the known is the jordan valley will mark an end to a 2 state solution in the historic conflict.

israeli prime minister's promised us come just a few days before israel snap election that was triggered after he failed to form a governing coalition early this year we spoke to a political analyst who does believe that netanyahu is announcement is a political stunt to win votes. 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 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 you know again this is a lot of electioneering. vivienne westwood has revealed details of her prison visit to judy in a song the british fashion design is one of several high profile campaign is calling for the release of the we can each find he's been locked up in london since april while fighting extradition to the u.s. . would stash the reports. the campaign is in solidarity with continue to up the ante and keep him in the public eye as every single day marks another step closer to his extradition to the united states now i'm here at the belmarsh prison which you're listening to was held since april of this year after he was sent basically tracked from london's ecuadorian embassy where he had been holed up since 2012 he's now serving a 50 week sentence at this belmarsh prison for skipping about back 2012 but

activists here says that sentence is grossly unfair for a breach of bail you get 50 weeks because a routine of friends in this country people are walking the streets you breach the should not be happening this is a political stunt by the british government nothing more well because yes it probably didn't any. news is completely leave room with if you don't know the press well there's a man in there being moved literally from people and so you know i mean look i was all the other people you know if you. and westwards in there today there are people trying to help him now you're innocent continues to live in limbo of course the united states is indicted him for 17 counts more than him to face trial for spying and publishing classified documents relating to the war in iraq and afghanistan many campaign as an activist including vivienne westwood and leading british fashion designer believes if he were to be extradited he would not face a fair trial took me

a month to get to go to to vanish to see him during the time he's been in solitary confinement is now gone but to some of them. what they want to get him for is telling the truth the nice of freedom fighter democracy is in crisis at the moment but i think that what is happening nevertheless is that the popular people are beginning to get the same roots of their own responsibility that they have to get involved because the politicians are not in the public interest at all at the moment and so i just really think that the public are going to make all rooted in support of judea let's not be extradited but why all of the english just keeping him there why have they trapped him all the time in order to save him up i mean they are in league with the with the world conspiracy so well

jaron a song just battle continues his supporters outside bellmawr say he's a valiant campaigner and should be applauded rather than pass a q-tip to seeking justice and delivering truth shattered stache day r.t. u.k. london. still ahead diplomatic turbulence between china and. gives a high level welcome to one of the leaders of the hong kong protest movement with the details on this was the story just awful.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you then. again china germany after one of the figureheads of the hong kong protest movement

was given a high level reception in berlin joshua one was met by the german foreign minister something beijing said was disrespectful. 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 and interference in its internal affairs. phone call to reports now from berlin looking at what message the hong kong activist had for the west. 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 stock 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 hall. we heard every word to say what it

is really saying in the private chinese it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big wigs 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 the fact that. he's free. and what could make a boy 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 wong's 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 in the fact that

they haven't done enough of the food devolve i want the conflicts to be resolved without violence and anything else would be a disaster and joining the law is a house but it's a country with 2 systems and this is i'm in hong kong gives people more civil rights than it does the chinese. i think chancellor merkel for speaking to hong kong in beijing but it 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 the the main topics of the protests address to the hong kong government has moved

in the direction that they have asked for the bill has not just been declared there has been bridger on an independent police commission 3 m. work already exists and it is in the process of putting together an inquiry on with regard to police activities so there really isn't that much to protest about but they have now escalated their demands and these sort of when meeting mr wong and the congress u.s. congress getting in the act it just provides that much more oxygen for the movement to keep going on even though their protests have been met which is in heaven doubly then drifting towards violence. more than a 1000000 tons of radioactive waste water could be dumped into the pacific ocean that's the stark warning from japan's environment minister where authorities are still dealing with the aftermath of the fukushima nuclear disaster the only option will be to drain it into the sea and dilute it the whole of the government will discuss this but i would like to offer my simple opinion. well ground water has

accumulated at the plant since the events of 2011 when the tsunami triggered multiple nuclear meltdowns officials have attempted to remove harmful pollutants but a lot still remain and they are warning too that will run out of storage space by 2022 meanwhile the government has spent something like $320000000.00 on a wall to slow the flow of water to the reactors but it hasn't worked in the way they had hoped and thousands were evacuated from fukushima after this tragedy which claimed the lives of more than 2000 people according to japan's reconstruction agency we spoke to a nuclear expert about the ongoing dangers. people will be getting concentrated radiation doses and seafood this is extremely hazardous highly concentrated radioactive waste water that will bio accumulate in the food chain and humans are at the top of the food chain it's not just japanese people it's anyone who eat seafood from the pacific ocean that's why the south korean government is very

concerned the united states government should be very concerned only now the japanese government is proposing to intentionally release a 1000000 tons of highly radioactive waste water that's a 1000000000 liters of highly radioactive waste water they should retain it they should store it for 125 years let the tritium decay away but there will still be other radioactive poisons and there that have to be filtered out and isolated from the environment for much longer periods of time. news in brief starting with when these areas where thousands took to the streets that event. the country's economic crisis people would demand being better wages and food 8 elections coming up at the end of october in argentina and the coverage of ministration argentina to the largest in i.m.f. history but living conditions. in iraq a religious holiday to into tragedy when a worship a fellow during a mass ritual starting to stamp
