a bargaining chip in trade talks with beijing. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our church here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour 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 at best and i told them i had different views about how we should proceed would certainly like to see things with john bell is a fantasy or. that you're young fulton 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 well
9:02 am
known for his aggressive hawkish 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 artist and hawkins has been taking 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 what will lead 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
9:03 am
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 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 madeira government 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
9:04 am
even the greatest perceived u.s. adversities even if it meant just a symbolic photo op the right intentions seems to be their bet it will make it clear that they won't go like sanctions because. 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
9:05 am
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 speculation has 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 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
9:06 am
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 as. 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 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.
9:07 am
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. 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 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
9:08 am
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. today marks 18 years since the $911.00 terror attacks and the u.s. c moral services are being held across the country and around the world and the thousands killed and injured. despite inquiries and investigations many facts still remain unclear the survivors and relatives launching lawsuits against the saudi government claiming it aided some of the masterminds behind the attacks the illegal action also demands the u.s.
9:09 am
government disclose its names redacted and one of the f.b.i. stockmen's on the issue some survivors say the role of saudi arabia has been downplayed at the highest levels and allege 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 the russia collusion probe fame he oversaw the agency's not 11 investigation and later testified he wasn't aware of any saudi links with more details here. 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
9:10 am
attacks the possible complicity of saudi arabia was brought up from the beginning osama bin laden himself is 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 they've been one disinformation the while as a matter of fact even the obama administration the one. formation to be revealed the wanted to present a. big geopolitical region 1st 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
9:11 am
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
9:12 am
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 wanted 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
9:13 am
conspired along with the hijackers and it seems like a lot of these very legitimate questions have not been answered. 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 policy decisions that have only cause 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
9:14 am
intelligence committee looking into the. the 2 hijackers who were coming to california who were actually gain 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've asked me after i and robert mueller himself for comment we'll bring you any response we were safe. the u.n. has issued a stark warning to benyamin netanyahu over his new plans for the west bank israeli prime minister is up for reelection at the weekend and has promised to annex large parts of the territory if he wins. on a sitcom from our hotel we are on the eve of elections the president trumps of that
9:15 am
after the elections he will 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 with 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. before 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 there is home
9:16 am
to some 3000000 palestinians but increasing numbers of israelis have settled there in recent years with major international organizations labeling it occupied territory and there is concern any move by israel to seize the jordan valley will mark an end to a steer state solution to the historic conflict. meanwhile one of netanyahu his challenger is in the upcoming election benny gantz who himself was a former i.d.f. chief has suggested palestinians love living under occupation. this is. the 2nd this is this. you see. when. we go live now to
9:17 am
jamal jim ahead of the national movement against the border wall who is currently in the west bank himself so when x. i.d.f. chief says palestinians in the west bank are better off than their counterparts in arab countries what do you make of that. this is one of the most racist phrases that just. describing the palestinians living the occupation is just remind me of the south african apartheid regime when he was telling the african the south african people you are living but rather than any of other african countries people in other countries this is very very racist and the truth didn't go just like this does show us what kind of mentality that we are dealing with in this is really that should permit and you know too many gods to all this but it is that they are showing as much as they can for the to get legitimacy how much they are humiliating palestinians how much they are taking hard on the
9:18 am
palestinians and taking the palestinian land confiscating them eliminating the palestinian identity this is their main issue is that going in their head and their main program in order to be elected by those that is asleep unfortunately this is just like the destruction of any possibility in the future for any peace with its people with this really governments and this is just a recipe for. going to continue like conflict in this and. just not just in palestine but as well as in the region yesterday netanyahu promised annex large parts of the territory if he wins the upcoming elections how feasible would it be for israel to actually carry out this pledge given that it's not the 1st time he's actually said that. exactly there's not the 1st time underdog and there's not the 1st time that also trump has been supported supported netanyahu on the promise netanyahu in order to promote him for that to be elected in the next election that he will also support netanyahu and proposal but you know i think this
9:19 am
is like as you said in the report this is illegal by the international law united nation current legalize all the. violations of the international law and get any any if netanyahu did any real step towards that i think what's needed from the palestinians but he could have put us in authority is just to withdraw the mission of israel and to put an end to this. chaotic. agreements that we are living under that form as an umbrella to all the taking over of the palestinian land and what he has been declaring is not like is not the worst done all the settlements that they were building or dislodge the last 20 years and expansion in the upper tide could only assist in that they are putting it in the ground the apartheid road system everything it did had been designed in order to control the palestinians into and to a good cause and isolation that they're creating for them i don't know how the
9:20 am
international community will accept this and how comes that the americans will legalize such and such a kind of project that supposed to fall in. the last century the apartheid system of south africa if netanyahu were to try and put this into a fact how would it go about military intervention or some sort of everlasting negotiation. it should be like an end of the negotiations i think i expected from the palestinian authority that we would any kind of contacts with israelis including the whole what so called security coordination and also economy can call to the nation this is must be and it is not israel must be introduced to the international community that the other colonial apartheid continue go to patient personal authority can continue provide them with to continue doing what they are doing through negotiation and normal relations if they are going to do any step towards an extension of the palestinian area even if didn't stop even continue
9:21 am
building settlements evacuating in the jordan valley targeting the big when communities do not destroying the palestinian house says it is so many things that they are doing daily that it must be we want to stand up strongly against the palestinian ones as will international. if international community interested to see this this is must stop. head of the national movement against the border while they queue for joining us on the program to discuss the story thank you. the protests in hong kong are as passionate as ever even though the authorities have withdrawn a controversial extradition law which sparked a row if that's the message from one of the protest movements figurehead joshua wan entering 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're still fighting for our fundamental
9:22 am
rights and democracy what i hope is apart from each statement to show his support on home calls democratization we strongly hole in the future european unity in when they need to make trade negotiation with china they could at him i'm right cause related to hong kong protests now 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 heiko must this while china which described the meet and greet with a senior official as disrespectful. oh indeed the founding in 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 interest ference in its internal affairs. our taste on the
9:23 am
quarter reports from berlin looking at what message the hong kong activists had for the west. berlin recently rolled out the red carpet for hong kong opposition leader inviting the 22 year old to a human rights event at the stud 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 to get with us resisting the price chinese 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 to 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 now 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 and joining the law is the house but it's. country with 2 systems and this is i'm in hong kong gives people more civil rights than in. 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 cool for free elections of course china has even
9:25 am
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 austral the bill has not just been declared dead it has been but drawn an 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 all and meeting mr wong and the congress u.s. congress they do 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 and inevitably then drifting towards violence that's
