china by rolling out the red carpet for a hong kong protest leader. you to use human rights as a bargaining chip in trade talks with beijing. this is our great to have you with us. the day after sacking his 3rd national security advisor john bolton citing multiple disagreements donald trump now says making a deal with iran would be a good thing. they are much different country right now than they were 2 and a half years ago when i came into office. and i do believe they'd like to make a deal if they do that it's great and if they don't that's great too the st john bolton's well known for his aggressive hawkish approach to foreign policy he supported u.s. intervention in syria was stored slee against easing pressure on north korea and adopted a tough stance on iran backing the scrapping of the nuclear deal then hawkins is
2:02 pm
taking a closer look at bolton's 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 i 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 in 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
2:03 pm
as did others in the administration of 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. adverse stories even if it meant just
2:04 pm
a symbolic photo op the right intentions seems to be their bed. they won't i don'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 one 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. 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
2:05 pm
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 iranian 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 act. and the u.s. secretary of state reassures us not too much will change. leave to the present to
2:06 pm
talk about the reasons he made the decision but i would say this the president's intitled to the staff that he wants it at any moment as a staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people he trusted values and whose efforts and judgments benefit him and 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 bolton's dismissal with former u.s. naval intelligence officer steven rogers and former u.s. congressman rumpole. 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
2:07 pm
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 in 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 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 rule is it 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 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
2:08 pm
a lot of frustration here. today months 18 years since the $911.00 terrorist attacks in the u.s. the mobile service is being held across the country and around the world for the thousands killed and injured. well despite inquiries investigations many facts remain unclear survivors and relatives launched 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 disclose names redacted in one of the f.b.i.'s documents on the issue some survivors say the role of saudi arabia has been downplayed at the very highest
2:09 pm
levels they also allege a senior intelligence official contributed to the cover up of the some of the attacks the man in charge of the f.b.i. was robert mueller sound familiar of course it's the man behind the russian collusion probe and of course he oversaw the agency's $911.00 investigation later testifying that he wasn't aware of saudi links with more is kelly. 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
2:10 pm
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 formation go wow that's a matter of fact even the obama administration the one. formation to be revealed they wanted to preserve. their 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 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
2:11 pm
but they weren't allowed to share any of it diplomatic and intelligence personnel of saudi arabia knowingly provided material support to the 2 hijackers and facilitated the 911 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 of 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 $911.00 attacks he says that his warrant for this cleric was canceled and the cleric also got a special flight out of the country. lucky was
2:12 pm
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 word 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 caleb r.t.
2:13 pm
new york. we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent who was active during investigations into $911.00 and she says fail is in the process led to policy decisions that 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 on iraq for instance were 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 to look into our the. the 2 hijackers who were coming to california who were actually gain with an f.b.i.
2:14 pm
informant he required they are 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. all this refused to give us comment on the story we've also sent a request to robot mode himself we'll bring you his response as soon as we get it. you know his nation's issued a warning to binyamin netanyahu over his new plans for the west bank the israeli prime minister is up for reelection this week as promised to nix large parts of the toe tree if he wins. in the sudan for most a whole year we are on the eve of election president trump said that after the elections he would present his deal of the century for
2:15 pm
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 them and also other areas of significance for our security our heritage and our future any israeli decision to impose its laws jurisdiction administration in the occupied west bank is without any international legal effect i think such a such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving negotiations regional peace and the very essence of a 2 state solution. of the council is considering this announcement a serious development and a new israeli aggression through its intention to violate international law the un charter and the concerned resolutions of the international legitimacy or there is home to some 3000000 palestinians but increasing numbers of israelis of settled

head of national movement against the border wall in the west bank he draws parallels between gansa statement and the arguments south african politicians use to justify apartheid regime in the eighty's unfortunately this is just like the destruction of any possibility in the future for any peace with these people it's just remind me of the south african apartheid regime when he was telling the south african people you are living. african countries people in other countries this is very very racist didn't just like this this is shore us what kind of mentality that we are dealing with in this is that you should promote and young to be gods to all this politicians that are showing as much as they can to get legitimacy how much they are accumulating palestinians how much they are taking part in the palestinians and taking the palestinian 1st getting them eliminating the palestinian identity this is their main issue is that going to the main program in order to be elected by those. protests in hong

kong arrest passionate even though the authorities of withdrawn a controversial extradition law that spot the release that's the message coming from one of the protest movements figureheads joshua wong majoring in media conference and activist also called on europe to put economic pressure on to beijing. withdrawal of the field is far from enough the protests in hall call are 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 his support on hong kong democratization we strongly hope. in the future european union when they need to make trade negotiation with china they could at human right cause related to hong kong protests. just in the media was an issue of what was in town for earlier on tuesday he was given a high level reception in berlin by the german foreign minister michael musto in
2:19 pm
response the chinese foreign ministry summoned the german ambassador in protest that reception chinese officials described the meeting greet in berlin 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 and interference in its internal affairs. well seized on culture reports from the taking a look at the message to hong kong i 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

heard every word to say. it is a joke and probably a chinese it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big wigs and foreign minister heiko moss was one of the 1st to be won over after hearing that one was detained in china for breaking bail and then released just a day before the event moss was overjoyed. we will come the fact that. he's free. and what could make a 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
2:21 pm
for that western support he's also been very critical of the west in the fact that they haven't done enough of the food devolve i want the conflicts to be resolved without violence and anything else would be a disaster and joining the law is the house but it's a country with 2 systems and this is i'm in hong kong gives people more civil rights than does the chinese. 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 chinese who wants to do something then she must have. urge president xi to respond to the call for free elections of course china's 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
