little trump says he thinks the deal with iran is possible that some day he fired one of the most hawkish members of his white house john bolton who previously banks the u.s. quitting the nuclear deal with. the more across the u.s. for victims of the 911 terror attacks survivors continue to question the way the investigation was handled. the wanted to. rejoin 1st. the needs of the families and their family members survivors. germany infuriates china by rolling out the red carpet for a hong kong protest leader is the e.u. to use human rights as

a bargaining chip in trade talks with beijing. and so joining me this evening this is r.t. international. more than a year since the u.s. quits the iran nuclear deal president donald trump has said making an agreement with tehran could be a good thing they are a 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 he made some very big mistakes when he talked about the libyan model for kim jong il and that was not a good statement to make you just take a look at what happened with khadafi that was not a good statement to make and it set us back. and frankly he wanted to do things not necessarily tough for the millionaire jobs known as

a tough guy so tough he got us into iraq. the us president explained the sacking of his national security advisor john bolton was well known for his aggressive hawkish approach to foreign policy he was adamantly against talks with iran vehemently backed scrapping the nuclear deal and said regime change should happen and also supported the u.s. intervention in syria was staunchly against easing pressure on north korea and voted for toppling the venezuelan leader and 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 what will lead to bolton's exit the failed talks on afghanistan the question of rush hour or perhaps a run 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 to trump 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 more durable vermont using any

means necessary all options on the table ready to go this troika of tyranny this triangle of chairs 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 go like sanctions for. 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 libya model from 20032004 while bolton boiled that north korea had violated u.n. sanctions offer a missile test and may trump downplay 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 team 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 bolton you know but then any rule is it 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. today marks 18 years since the 911 terrorist attacks in the united states the motive services have been held across the country and around the world for the thousands killed and injured.

with a sponsor inquiries and investigations many facts remain unclear with survivors and relatives launching lawsuits against the saudi government claiming that the day you did some of the most the months behind the attacks parts of the legal action also demand the u.s. 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 levels and just senior intelligence official contributed to a cover up at the time of the attacks the month in charge of the f.b.i. was robert mueller you'll know him from the russia collusion probe he oversaw the agency's $911.00 investigation and later testified he wasn't aware of any dealings more details is capable than. 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 muller 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 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. it was from the very beginning involved through the whole process they didn't want to see information go wow that's a matter of fact even the obama administration the one in formation to be revealed they wanted to put the interests of. their geopolitical region 1st than the.

needs of the families and family members survivors that were directly affected by the event so in a 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 on that day 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 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 attacks he says that his warrant for this cleric was cancelled and the cleric also got a special flight out of the country. lackey 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 word that they just want to rescind the warrant and everybody's like what do you want to do that for the justice department was afraid to be in power. by the entire lucky episode not only did robert muller 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 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 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 google and the. the 2 hijackers who were coming to california who were actually gain with an f.b.i. 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 comment on the story we also sent a request to robert mueller himself bringing his response soon as we get it.

the u.s. has issued a stark warning to binyamin netanyahu every new plans for the west bank and says any an exception would fall outside of all international laws the israeli prime minister's promise to seize large parts of the territory if he wins reelection next week. on a sitcom for most a whole year we are on the eve of elections president trump said that after the elections he would 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's sovereignty over our settlements in judea and samaria 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 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 of the area is home to some 3000000 palestinians but increasing numbers of israelis have settled there in recent years and your international organizations have labeled it occupied territory and there's concern any made by israel to seize the jordan valley with the market and to a 2 state solution for the historic conflict. meanwhile

want to put me on his challenges in the upcoming election benny gantz to him self as a former i.d.f. chief has suggested that palestinians love living under occupation. this is losing the. city. we spoke to jamal juma the head of the national movement against the border wall in the west bank he draws parallels between gun sustainment and the arguments that south african politicians used to justify the apartheid regime of the eighty's. unfortunately this is just like the destruction of any possibility in the future for any peace with this is just remind me of the south african apartheid regime he was telling the south african people who are living. and country people in the countries this is very very racist. just like this this is shore us what kind of

mentality that we are dealing with in this israeli leadership from the. guts 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 the. quarter's defers the embezzlement case of a prominent russian theater director back to the prosecutor's office 2 years after his arrest they cited in consistency in control for see around the official charges . explains. the moscow court has decided to lift the travel restrictions for russian film and theatre director kiel city of bringing of more over the court has decided to defer the controversial embezzlement case back to the prosecutor's

latest twist in this long drawn out saga. the protests in hong kong all respond should it deserve even though the authorities have withdrawn a controversial extradition law that sparked the release that's the message coming from one of the protest movements figureheads just. this comes joining a media conference in their interest also called on europe to put economic pressure on 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 your support on hong kong stomach and 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 hong kong protests to sing the media wasn't all joshua young was in town

for earlier tuesday he was given a high level reception in berlin by the german foreign minister must in response the chinese foreign ministry summoned the german ambassador in protest to the reception chinese officials described the meeting great in berlin as being disrespectful and the 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 meeting such people it is disrespectful of china's sovereignty interference in its internal affairs. auntie's don't call to reports now from berlin as he looks at the 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 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 already know the new cold war hall. we heard about for you wrote today. resisting the problem age it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big wigs and foreign minister heiko mosse 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 to. the street. and what could make a boon to 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 fugue of all of them does he 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 isn't hong kong gives people more civil rights than in does it china. i thank 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 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 dead it has been bigger on an independent 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 evidently then drifting towards violence. now or some other world headlines today starting at barcelona where thousands gathered for a separatists rally for the catalan region events become a yearly occurrence on catalonians national day the protest comes a few weeks ahead of a verdict by spain's supremum court in the trial of 12 separatist leaders they
