watching our 2 international bring you your life news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program 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 death with places that best and i told them i had different views about how we should proceed like certainly and i disagree with john the son is a fan policy for. your young bolton comes out of the same group of advisors that led us into the war in iraq and have caused america to put our troops in harm's way for far too often too little benefits bolton is well 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 that 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 gottman 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

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 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

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 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 libyan 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 seen the u.s. had 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 iranian 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 rouhani 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 accountant 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 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 steps that he wants that at any moment this. 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 trump's. we discuss 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 present united states the president is the duly elected representative in 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 this so i think the timing is just too late i mean not to lay bad later than it should be a should'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 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 in the united states a moral services are being held across the country and around the world for the thousands killed and injured. despite inquiries and investigations many facts still remain unclear with survivors and relatives launching lawsuits against the saudi government claiming it aided some of the masterminds behind the attacks parts of the legal action also demand the us government discloses names redacted in one of the f.b.i.

documents 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 the cover up at the time of the attacks the man in charge of the f.b.i. it was robert mueller the rush occlusion probe of fate and he oversaw the agency's $911.00 investigation and later testified he wasn't aware of any saudi links with more details his kill moppet. 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 a 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 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 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 the wanted to. rejoin 1st the. needs of the families and the family members survivors that were directly affected by the event so the 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. 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 a whole slew of saudi officials and at least one member of the bin laden family on a plane out of the country for new era of the joint terrorism task force says that he was investigating a saudi cleric for his possible role in the $911.00 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 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 san diego 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. r.t. new york we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent who was active during investigations into 911 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 intelligence committee looking into the. the 2 hijackers who were coming to

california who are 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 have approached the f.b.i. though it's refused to give us a comment on the story we've also sent a request to robert mueller himself will bring you his response as soon as we get it. the u.n. has issued a stark warning to many in the who over his new plans for the west bank the israeli prime minister is up for reelection next week and as promised once again to annex large parts of the territory if he wins. in the sudan for most a whole year we are on the eve of elections president trump said 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 somalia and also other areas with 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 of a series developments and a new israeli aggression through its intention to violate international law the un charter and the concern resolutions of the international legitimacy. the area is

home to some 3000000 palestinians but increasing numbers of israelis have settled there in recent years with major international organizations labeling it occupied territory there's concern any move by israel to seize the jordan will mark an end to a 2 state solution to the historic conflict. meanwhile one of netanyahu his challengers in the upcoming election benny gantz who himself is a former i.d.f. chief has suggested past indians love living under occupation. the best place to be the release is right and the 2nd best place to be with you this is the last.

we spoke to jamal juma head of the national movement against the border wall in the west bank he draws parallels between netanyahu statement and the argument south african politicians used to justify their apartheid regime in the eighty's. unfortunately this is just like the destruction of any possibility in the future for any peace with this people it's just remind me of the south african apartheid regime he was telling the pick up because the south african people who are living but then i knew nothing about african countries people in the book and countries this is very very racist and the truth didn't he go just like this this is show us what kind of mentality that we are dealing with in this is likely to be the truth from myth and young to many gods to all this put it this is the showing as much as the can photo the to get legitimacy how much the art of humiliating put us kenyans how much the art of picking cotton the best team isn't taking the palestinian conflict getting them eliminating the policy and identity this is their main issue is that going did it did men program in order to be elected by those they dislike.

coming up in the program diplomatic turbulence between china and germany as berlin gives a high level welcome to one of the leaders of the hong kong protest movement that story and more after the break. when else should seem wrong why don't we all just don't call. me all that yet to shape out this day become educated and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. mostly the 1920 s. you know there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were huge and the

market one way 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 do they quit their jobs they just become speculators and so this is what happened now people are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible we have no job they've been shipped overseas and nothing left of day trading and the market goes up therefore i'm being productive but it's abuse. welcome back the protests in hong kong are as passionate as ever even though the authorities have withdrawn a controversial extradition law which sparked the rallies that's the message from one of the protest movements figureheads josh won't want to own a media conference and berlin the activists also called on europe to put economic

pressure on beijing withdrawal of the feel 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 to show he supports on hong kong stomach when i say should we strongly hold. in the future european union when they need to make trade negotiation with china they could at human right cause related to a song called 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 and response the chinese foreign ministry summoned the german ambassador in protest at their reception chinese officials describe the mean greeted as disrespectful. china is extremely unhappy at germany for hosting hong kong separatists so they can

undertake anti china's separatist activities and a german foreign minister publicly admitting such people it is disrespectful of china's sovereignty interference in its internal affairs. don't quarter reports from berlin looking at what message the hong kong activists have 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 a vent at the boom to stop once there jumped at the opportunity to call hong kong's political situation part of a new cold war if we are in a new cold war. we urge everyone to stay together with us in resisting the price rise it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big weeks 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 joshua warns

is free. and what could make a bull in the stock conference even better a photo shoot wong was pictured with the leader of the white helmets an organization often praised by western leaders and just as often accused by critics of staging chemical attacks and supporting terrorist groups by now was probably an expert at posing in pictures because just last month he was caught on camera meeting with an employee of the u.s. consulates political division in hong kong and although wong has been hustling hard for that western support he's also been very critical of the west and the fact that they haven't done enough of the fuk of all 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 a country with 2 systems and this is i'm in hong kong give people more civil rights in india is it china. 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 labelled 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 headrest the hong kong government has moved in the direction that they have austral the bill has not just been declared dead has been withdrawn and independents 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 could do in the act it just provides that. much more oxygen for the movement to keep going on even though their protests be met which was. drifting towards warlords. in moscow court has deferred the embezzlement case of a prominent russian theater director back to the prosecutor's office 2 years after his arrest but did a question about has the details the moscow court has decided to lift the travel restrictions for russian film and theatre director kiel city of a think of more over the court has decided to do further the controversial embezzlement case back to the prosecutor's office and this is how the judge explained her decision the court has decided to hand the case back to the prosecutor's office due to contradictions that hamper the investigation and judgment the case has been dragging on for almost 2 years evidence of was arrested back in september of 2017 the investigators were accusing him of them battling

around $2000000.00 allocated by the state for the development of more than art and russia while he denies all charges now he is a restroom a lot of international attention with the many high profile figures in the world of culture has support now city of i think of who is a winner off the price of the cannes film festival was placed under house arrest back in october 2017 and earlier this april the court changed the measure to travel restriction preventing him from leaving moscow and now this is to be the latest twist in this long drawn out saga. american fast food chain chick fil a has faced a backlash as it opened its 1st store in canada it wasn't only those camping overnight waiting to greet the u.s. company but dozens of protesters as well who are still angered at statements once made by the chain's boss.

we are very much supportive of the family the biblical definition the family unit. we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles. one of the most popular fast food chains in the country is under fire this morning people have been pulling their money from this chain of thousands of scorn customers who've been boycotting the restaurant or promising to hold a national same sex kiss day. across the country. signs like chick fil a abusing people when they're animals protesters expressed their outrage over the opening of the 1st chick fil a in toronto. i think i've the message was loud

and clear. that it is break down for this hour they are tuning in maybe. the very pain years and cross started 10 years and i think it's time to shake
