i. gotta go. says he thinks a deal with iran is possible after he fired one of the most hawkish members of his white house team john bolton who previously back the u.s. quitting the nuclear deal with a round. morals held across the united states for victims of the 911 terrorist attacks while survivors continue to question the way the investigation is being handled. they wanted to. rejoin 1st. the families and their family members survivors. and germany infuriates china by rolling out the red carpet for hong kong protests lead to receive the e.u. to use human rights as

a bargaining chip in trade talks with beijing. more than a year since the u.s. quit the iran nuclear deal president donald trump of making an agreement with tehran could be a good thing he also commented on his reasons for sacking national security adviser john bolton. 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 john wooden 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 tougher than me you know john is known as

a tough guy he's so tough he got us into iraq. john bolton was well known for his aggressive hawkish approach to foreign policy he was adamantly against talks with iran vehemently banks scrapping the nuclear deal and was a proponent of regime change we also supported the u.s. intervention in syria was staunchly against easing pressure on north korea and has been in favor of toppling venezuela's president hawken says taking a closer look at john 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 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 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 madeira 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 in 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 teen 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 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 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. step person who works directly for the president that 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 1st. and there was an interesting reaction to john bolton's departure in the media and online where sudden appreciation of his actions surfaced.

whatever you thought of moments foreign policy views he was largely seen as a check on some of the president's most reckless and childlike impulses the lesson is if you oppose this president and if you try to give him rational advice and what did he get for it he got a fire and he got fired embarrassingly and john bolton has been fiercely critical of putin and north korea 3 years bolton is trumps and it's a never made sense because bolton has never been cozy with those who count americans as the enemy he was a voice that would give alternative realities or real realities to the president for his consideration mr bolton and i didn't agree on a lot of issues but he was a straight shooter jumbles and sudden departure is a symbol of the disarray that has a nerve our ally since day one of the trumpet ministration steady leadership and strategic foreign policy east keaton sharing america's national security.

so they marked 18 years since the $911.00 terror attacks in the united states memorial services have been held across the country and around the world for the thousands killed and injured. despite inquiries and investigations many facts 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 disclose names redacted one of the f.b.i.'s documents on the issue some survivors say the role of saudi arabia has been downplayed at the highest levels

and alleges senior intelligence official contributed to a cover up of the top of the attacks the man in charge of the f.b.i. was robert mueller say man who conducted the russia collusion probe he oversaw the agency's $911.00 investigation and later testified that he wasn't aware of any saudi links with more is kelly morgan. 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 muller 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 the wanted to preserve. the 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 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 of a whole slew of saudi officials and at least one member of the bin laden family on a plane out of the country fournier 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 canceled 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 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. r.t. new york we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent who was active during investigations into $911.00 she says for those in the process the to policy decisions that only cause more suffering. 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 looking to go out the. the 2 hijackers who were coming to california who actually stain 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. refused to give comment on the story we'll sent a request to robert mueller himself bringing his response when we get it. the u.s. has issued a stall warning to binyamin netanyahu of his new plans for the west bank and says that he thinks a show would fall outside international laws israeli pm has promised to seize large parts of the territory if he wins reelection next week. in the sudan for most 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 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 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. there is

home to some $3000000.00 palestinians but increasing numbers of israelis settle their recent is major international organizations label it occupied territory less concern any made by israel the same as the jordan valley would balk an end to a 2 state solution to the historic conflict. meanwhile one of netanyahu has challenges in the upcoming election benny gantz who himself is a former i.d.f. chief suggested that palestinians love living under occupation. this is losing this right this 2nd because this is. the scene. we

spoke to jamal juma the head of the national movement against the border wall in the west bank and he drew parallels between gansa statement and the argument south african politicians used to justify the 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 african the south african people you are living but rather than any of that african countries people in other countries this is very very racist didn't go just like this does show us what kind of mentality that we are dealing with in this israeli leadership from that and young to many gods to all this politicians that they are showing as much as the can to get legitimacy how much they are accumulating palestinians how much they are taking hard on the palestinians and taking the palestinian land confiscation them eliminating the

palestinian identity this is their main issue is that going to the main program in order to be elected by the. moscow courts defer to the embezzlement case of a prominent russian theater director back to the prosecutor's office 2 years after his arrest they cited inconsistency in control of the sea around the official charges. 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 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 around $2000000.00 allocated by the state for the development of more

than art and russia while he denies all charges now he is the 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 at this measure to travel restriction preventing him from leaving moscow and now this is to be the latest twist in this long drawn out saga. the protests in hong kong it was passionate to serve even the authority yourself with drawn a controversial extradition laws that spawn the rallies and that's the message coming from one of the protest movements figureheads joshua wall made those comments during a media conference. 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 is to show your support on the holocaust and can 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 with dressing the media was no one was in town for earlier on tuesday he was given a high level reception in berlin by german foreign minister heiko moss in response the chinese foreign ministry summoned the german ambassador in protest reception chinese officials described the meet and greet in berlin as disrespectful andi the values 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. are these damned quarter reports now from berlin 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 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 a new cold war hold call. for you to stay with us in resisting the problem age it was time for wong to turn on the charm for germany's big weeks 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 to the joshua warm he's free. and what could make a bone 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. i want the conflicts to be resolved without violence and anything else would be a disaster joining the law is a help but it's a country with 2 systems and this isn't hong kong gives people more civil rights

than it does a 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 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 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 ever doubly then drifting towards violence. has been some news in brief now from around the world starting it is where thousands took to the streets to vent their anger at the country's economic crisis people are demanding better wages and food aid elections are coming up at the end of october under the current administration argentina took up the largest load in our history the living conditions of only gotten worse in iraq a religious holiday turned to tragedy when a worshipper fell over during a mass ritual that started a stampede that killed $31.00 people or $100.00 others were injured witnesses say the months for that to a domino effect of people tripping over each other officers say the stampede
