bill are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible beyond the jobs they've been shipped overseas and i'm nothing left of day trading and the market goes up therefore i'm being productive but it's a piece of. the u.s. president far as one of the most hawkish members of his white house team john bolton becomes the 3rd national security adviser to be booted out by donald trump. also this hour memorials are held across the u.s. for the victims of the 911 terror attacks while survivors continue to ask questions about how the investigation process has been handled. made to. the geopolitical region far as. the needs of the families and the family members survivors. and germany infuriates china by rolling out the red carpet for at hong kong a protest leader that's here just the e.u. to use human rights as

a bargaining chip in trade talks with beijing. you're watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 3 pm welcome to the program. the u.s. president has sacked his 3rd national security adviser citing multiple disagreements john bolton's paul things were seen by many as controversial and attracted plenty of criticism but i know everyone's talked about this for an awfully long time there were definite places that best and i told them i had different views about how we should proceed like certainly in my discipline the with john coleman on his or me and policy for sure. that we're dealing with iran comes out of the same group of advisers that led us into the war in iraq and they have caused america to put our troops in harm's way for far too often too

little benefits. 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 adopted a tough stance on iran and backed scrapping the nuclear deal. 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 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 squabble led to bolton's exit the failed talks on afghanistan the question of rush hour 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 and 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 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 care 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 i don't like sanctions because. this 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 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 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 is 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 speculations been rife on possible talks between trump and the rain in president through any 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 trumps words often have little relation 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 steps that he wants that at any moment this. the staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people he trusted values and whose efforts and judgments benefit him in delivering american foreign policy and seems that way though without bolton's presence u.s. foreign policy might have more surprises in store during trumps. we discussed dismissal with former u.s. naval intelligence officer steven rogers and former u.s. 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 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 trump is making progress bold you know but in any room is a so i think the timing is just too late i mean not to lay bad later than it should be a had 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 here. today marks 18 years since the $911.00 terrorist attacks and the united states memorial some ceremonies are being held across the country and around the world for the thousands who were killed and injured. despite inquiries and investigations many facts remain unclear with survivors and relatives launching a lawsuit against saudi arabia claiming the government it is masterminds behind the attacks the filing also calls for the u.s.

justice department to disclose names redacted in an f.b.i. document with some survivor saying the saudis role has been downplayed at the highest levels that a senior intelligence official contributed to that cover up at the time of the attacks the man in charge of the f.b.i. it was robert mueller now of russia collusion profane he oversaw the agency's $911.00 investigation and he later testified that he wasn't aware of any study links are often picks up the story. the 911 attacks that shocked the world took place 18 years ago on wednesday the cost in terms of human life was massive in response to 911 the f.b.i. launched a massive investigation and who headed up that investigation robert muller and that's the same robert mueller who recently led the probe into allegations of trumped russia collusion now the media portrayed robert mueller as a relentless crusader he was standing up to trumpet and digging for truth but when it came to investigating foreign influence into 911 he looked

a little bit soft riyadh was an obvious target for an investigation into the 911 attacks the possible complicity of saudi arabia was brought up from the beginning osama bin ladin himself a saudi as are 15 of the 19 hijackers now saudi arabia of course denies any wrongdoing but now a victim of 911 is speaking up and saying that robert mueller appeared to be covering for saudi arabia in his investigation the saudi arabia was from the very beginning involved through the whole process and they didn't want to see information go wow that's a matter of fact even the obama administration the one. formation to be revealed they wanted to preserve. the geopolitical region 1st and the. needs of the families and the family members survivors that were directly affected by the event so in that way it was. a way to digest the level of incompetence that we had in the government regarding to the 911 investigation i

believe that all up to now we still don't know everything that happened and that the that the f.b.i. agents who did begin to look into saudi arabia actually collected all kinds of data but they weren't allowed to share any of it diplomatic and intelligence person no of saudi arabia knowingly provided material support to the 2 hijackers and facilitated the $911.00 plot another former f.b.i. agent says that prince bandar who was. at that point the saudi ambassador should have been a suspect he should be treated as a terrorist suspect as should other members of the saudi elite class who the u.s. government knows are currently funding the global jihad but the f.b.i. didn't question bandar instead $1.00 was assigned to a score bandar as well as a whole slew of saudi officials and at least one member of the bin laden family on a plane out of the country for any arab the joint terrorism task force says that he was investigating a saudi cleric for his possible role in the 911 attacks he says that his warrant

for this cleric was cancelled and the cleric also got a special flight out of the country. lucky was a very high value target everybody wants to wrap him up get him in a chair and see what he knew about the money then we got the was that they just wanted to rescind the warrant and everybody's like what do you want to do that for the justice department was afraid to be embarrassed by the entire lucky episode not only did robert mueller seem to have the back of the saudis when it came to his work at the f.b.i. but he also objected to the senate intel committee looking into a possible role in 911 by the saudis as well investigates and michael jacobson came across a stray reference to a bureau informant in san diego who had known one of the hijackers bob graham the former chairman of the senate intelligence committee said that robert mueller made the strongest objections to jacobson and his colleagues visiting send you go 18

years on many americans have lots of questions about 911 what forces could have conspired along with the hijackers and it seems like a lot of these very legitimate questions have not been answered caleb r.t. new york we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent who was active during investigations into $911.00 she says failures in the process led to the policy decisions that have caused more suffering. if they had gone through the truth about how the 911 attacks had occurred and how all these failures to share information to even read information if they had done that within a couple of months and i'm sure most of the agents would have told the truth of the the war in iraq for instance would not have been launched there probably would have been no guantanamo no torture no rounding up of innocent people in new york city robert muller did play a role he followed orders and he did not he did not allow for instance the joint

intelligence committee looking into the. the 2 hijackers who were coming to california who were actually staying with an f.b.i. informant he required that he would not allow that f.b.i. source to be interviewed robert muller along with condi rice along with the bush administration were saying that they had no advance warning that the 911 attacks would occur and this was of course completely opposite of the truth there were many many intelligence warnings in memos that came from a number of different intelligence agencies. we were approached the f.b.i. for comment and have not received one yet we will inform you of any response they provide us. the u.n. has issued a stark warning to benyamin netanyahu over his new plans for the west bank israeli prime minister is up or reelection next week and has promised to annex large parts of the territory if he wins. in the sudan foremost we are on the eve of elections

the president trumps of that after the elections he would present he's 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 as 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 series developments and 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 and increasing numbers of israelis have settled there over with recent years with major international organizations labeling it occupied territory and there's concern that a move by israel to seize the part known as the jordan valley will mark and to a 2 state solution in the historic conflict. the israeli prime minister's promise comes just a few days before israel flap election that was triggered after he failed to form a governing coalition earlier this year we spoke to a political analyst who thinks that you know who's announcement is just a political stunt to win both. this is what's happening in the israeli election

every single day and it's and now is throwing some other hell mary hoping that he's going to catch some voters hoping that someone's going to listen and right now the united states is in the corner of the and again this is a lot of electioneering he has donald trump helping him campaign helping possibly will providing something to israel last few days and the next few days it gets 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. still to come in the program diplomatic turbulence between china and germany as well and gives a high level welcome to one of the leaders of the hong kong protest movement and got the details in a couple of minutes. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world

of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. welcome back the protests in hong kong will not stop even though at the authorities how withdrawn the controversial extradition law that's the message from one of the protest movements figureheads joshua wang during a media conference in berlin the activists also called on europe to put economic pressure on beijing withdrawal of the field is far from enough the protests in hong kong 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 to show his support

on hong kong stomach when i say should we strongly hold. in the future european union when they need to make trade negotiations with china they could at human right cause related to hong kong protests addressing the media wasn't all joshua long was in town for earlier on tuesday he was given a high level reception in berlin by german foreign minister hickam us this while china which described the meet and greet with the senior official as disrespectful . oh indeed 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 don't quarter 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 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 the new cold war hall. we are you were to stand here with us 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 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 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 wang'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 and the fact that they haven't done enough of the few. i want the conflicts to be resolved without violence and anything else would be a disaster and joining the law is a help but it's a country. 2 systems and this is i'm in hong kong gives people more civil rights than it does the 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 urge president xi to respond to the call for free elections of course china has 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 bridge drawn and independence 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 and 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 grave 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. groundwater has accumulated at the plant since the events of 2011 that's when a tsunami triggered multiple nuclear meltdowns officials have attempted to remove harmful pollutants but a lot still remain and they're warning the run out of storage space by 2022 meanwhile the government spent $320000000.00 on a wall to slow the flow of water to the reactors but it's not worked as well as they'd hoped tens of thousands were about to get it from fukushima after the tragedy which claimed the lives of more than 2000 people that's 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 but the tritium decay away but there will still be other radioactive poisons in there that have to be filtered out and isolated from the environment for much longer periods of time. in brief starting in buenos aires where thousands took to the streets to vent their anger at the country's economic crisis people were demanding better wages and food aid elections are coming up at the end of october and in the current administration argentina take out the largest
