i. had an r.t. the us president flies one of the most hawkish members of his white house team john bolton he becomes the 3rd national security adviser to be booted out by donald trump also to come pulp fiction that branded a c.n.n. report that claims u.s. secret service has extracted a high level spy from moscow back in 2017 and anyone yet who seeks to move israeli boats is 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. .

good afternoon you're watching r.t. international now the u.s. president has sacked his 3rd 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 certainly and i disagree with john on the survey and policy or. that nuclear deal with iran bolton comes out of the same group of advisors that led us into war in iraq and have caused america to put our troops in harm's way for far too often too little benefits john bolton is 9 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 adopted to tough stance to iran backed scrapping the nuclear deal done hawkins takes a closer look can these record. scandals resignations and dismissals are part and parcel of trump's presidency a few policy disagreements a swift tweet from the presidents and another administration official bites the dust it was clear from the outset that 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 have other people that are a little more dovish than him and ultimately i make that decision we can speculate on which exact what will lead to bolton's exit the failed talks on afghanistan on the question of russia or or 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 of views himself as a skilled dealmaker who talked tough were needed for bolton but wasn't enough he needed to walk the walk and actively consistently show strength on all fronts the middle east 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 more durable vermont using any means necessary all options on the table ready to go this troika of tyranny this triangle of chair 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 for symbolic photo op the right intentions seems to be their bet it will make it clear that they won't like sanctions because. in 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 libyan model from 20032004 while bolton boiled that north korea had violated u.n. sanctions offer a 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 us 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 a rainy and 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 think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction ironically just as bolton prepared to depart speculation has been rife on possible talks between trump and the rein in president rouhani it would have thought that possible after so much hostile rhetoric perhaps the final straw was trump's plans of 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 words often have little correlation with his actions and the u.s. secretary of state reassures us not too much will change of 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. staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people he trusted values and whose efforts and judgments benefit him and delivering american foreign policy seems that way though without bolton's presence u.s. foreign policy may have more surprises in school during trump's. and hawkins that will be discussed bolton's dismissal with the former u.s. naval intelligence officer stephen roach is and also with us congressman ron paul. 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 i 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 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. 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 every time 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've 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 there. now the russian government has described a c.n.n. report as pulp fiction after the news channel aired claims about the cia with roaring a high level spy from moscow c.n.n. reported that a source inside the russian government was successfully extracted back in 2017 over concerns about the way donald trump handled classified information but both white house and the cia have since said that the story is incorrect taylor has 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 aired 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 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 the documents on the russian leaders desk u.s. intelligence officials had already expressed concerns about the safety of this and 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 mentions of fuckwit sources mysterious interviews and escapes a bit on the facts facts after all don't make a thriller indeed the c.n.n. report doesn't even given in the playing of the identity of the informant but the

russian media was willing to give it a chance and landed on one leg while in cough it's been reported that he previously worked at the russian embassy in washington before becoming up 3rd to stay. accounts of the presidential administration not really the pinnacle of influence it 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 us media about someone urgently extracting someone and saving someone etc 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 a legit spy out but what could make this revelation 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 is it ministration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and that that could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy are 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 quids i mean they aren't exactly trump's cheerleaders their response that must have come as a 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 drove an alleged x. filtration 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. the un has issued a stark warning to ben yet yahoo over his new plans for the west bank israeli prime minister is up for reelection next week in his promise to parts of the territory if he wins. we are on the eve of elections the president trumps that after the elections he would presume 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 a new israeli aggression through its intention to violate international law the un charter and the concerned resolutions of the international legitimacy the area is home to some 3000000 palestinians but increasingly a large number of israelis have settled there in recent years with major international organizations neither labeling it an occupied territory and is concerned so you would be heard that a move by israel to seize the part known as the jordan valley well mark an end to a 2 state solution in the historic conflict.

but the 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 earlier this year we spoke to political analysts he says that netanyahu is announcement is a political stunt to win but. this is what's happening in the israeli election every single day and it's a now is throwing some other hail mary hoping that he's going to catch some voters hoping that someone is going to listen and right now the united states is in the corner of the. again this is a lot of electioneering he has donald trump helping him campaign helping possibly will providing something to israel last few days in the next few days and 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 there are people that think that maybe these territories are occupied there are a lot of people that think that they're not 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 when netanyahu bid to attract it is to provoke a cross border rocket exchange and find siren sounded. from the gaza strip while netanyahu was speaking at an election rally in the southern city of ashdod video to show you security surrounding the prime minister hay before leading him out of the main hold of the venue netanyahu were 10 minutes later and continued to address the crag for a minute from said that he it tied into set to 2 rockets launched from the gaza strip no injuries were reported to israel then carried out at retaliation strike in gaza overnight. quickly you have some news in brief here in r.t.

we'll start with vents in buenos aires because thousands have taken to the streets there to vent their anger at the country's economic crisis people are demanding better wages and food aid in argentina elections they're all coming up at the end of october and under the current administration argentina took out the largest loan in i.m.f. but living conditions of only worsened in iraq a religious holiday turned to tragedy when a worshiper fellow virtue ring a mash ritual starting a stampede that killed 31 people over 100 others were injured when this is the say demands for lead to a domino effect of people tripping over each other police say the stampede happened when quite collapsed and the european space agency says that the amazon rain forest fires have led to a huge jump in pollution levels in brazil the flames rage on despite the country's president banning land clearance fires for 60 days officials say the number of fires in the amazon this year is the highest since 20. plus still at the this hour

diplomatic turbulence between china and germany's berlin gives a high level welcome to one of the leaders of the hong kong protest movement we've got the details in a couple of minutes. when else should seem wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out this day become educated and indeed equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go right to be approached this is what the 3 of them would be good. interested in the waters of the how. they should. think. again without saying that the protests in hong kong will not stop even though the authorities have drawn a controversial extradition or at least that is the message from one of the protest movements figureheads joshua long during a media conference in berlin the activists also called on europe to put economic

pressure on beijing which draw off the field is far from enough the protests in whole call i'm not likely to stop because we are still fighting for our fundamental rights and democracy what i hope is apart from each statement is to show you some thoughts on the holocaust about what i say should we strongly hold. in the future european unity in when they need to make trade negotiations with china they could write course related to a song called protests what addressing the media wasn't the only reason he was in time on cheese day he was given a high level reception in berlin by the german foreign minister hike a mass this riled china which described the meeting greet with the senior official is 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. on course and i reports from that. berlin recently rolled out the red carpet for hong kong opposition leader inviting the 22 year old 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 cobol halt. we heard every word to say. it is resisting the price rise it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big wigs and foreign minister heiko moss was $1.00 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 boon to start 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 fugue of all 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 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 it was fun less clear than the hong kong people wanted germany's business interest should not override the universal value we believe in if the

chinese who wants to do something then she must help president she respond 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 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 dead it has been bridger on an independent police commission 3 mm 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. now more than a 1000000 tons of radioactive waste water could be dumped into the pacific ocean the grave warning 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 dilutes the whole of the government will discuss this but i would like to offer my simple opinion where groundwater has accumulated at the plant since the events of 2011 when a tsunami triggered multiple nuclear meltdowns officials have attempted to remove harmful pollutants but a lot of them do remain and they are warning to the 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 although it's not will work quite

as well as they had hoped tens of thousands were evacuated from the fukushima fukushima sorry after the tragedy which claimed the lives of more than 2000 people according to japan's reconstruction agency we spoke to a nuclear experts about the ongoing dangerous 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 and that bring ships and that's how the news is looking more for us at the top of the. the old days there are good dentists and bad evidence the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be the good. word in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right away military windows funding and arming these death squads there's no posts anymore because there's

always a small people for a really good. profit. system mostly the 1920 s. and you know there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were huge and the market went up and people began to look at the stock market as the proxy for the economy people are getting wealthy because their stocks are going up and they didn't take with their jobs they just become speculators and so this is what happened now people are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible rb have no jobs they've been shipped overseas and i'm nothing left of the day trading and the market goes up therefore i'm being productive but it's a piece. in a world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for washing clothes for watching the hawks. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision little sheltered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was right to be instructed here you know told to shut up what they kill me and i see how it destroyed my life and he screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his berthing area if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is

a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished don't be offended i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. join me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics or business i'm sure i'll see a. computer

just. there. is. really no over the shock when i was 3 years old so it's a long story of go shots for me the most difficult i'm in pursuit close when i do so my 1st choice for the 1st photo to tell us what we've done because you can see

shot dead before so it was a fluke a miss which was. not my motivation was just wander off to the because i knew that i wanted to be there i didn't and continue to go to the most. harm revealing just. to see. what i wanted to do with how do you know that you're helping the world be a bit better so i would say that that would mean to me one of the things that has impressed me the most is how you get the editor from where we need to get to but. i wanted to do something for earth when i came onboard it was my 1st time at sea it was my 1st time in the galley. so i had a lot of that. this is the 7th game i just love it and i just love it i hate it that. i don't think i'm shit i love. it.

i just love stuff the whole thing and being at sea.
