hello and welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest world news along with the stories that shape the week. now donald trump announcement of the death of vice only the other backer are baghdadi just over a week ago shocked the world the terror group has since confirms the claim warning america not to be happy or our organs about it but u.s. presidents of the terrorists detonated a suicide vest during a u.s. raid in syria killing himself and his children. a brutal killer one who has caused so much hardship and death. has violently been eliminated he died like a dog he died like a coward. is thrown video purports to show the aftermath of the us operation the

compound is located in italy a province the last rebel held foothold in syria our senior correspondent mark looks into the similarities of the u.s. raid against baghdad they and president obama bin laden's operation. honestly at this point it's turning into whack a mole whack a terrorist it's like an initiation now for american presidents to kill the biggest the baddest guy you cad and take a really cool photo. the united states brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice. of move or car alberg daddy is dead. that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men women and children deja vu doesn't do this just this big bad bin laden hiding out in

pakistan a friendly nation that washington liberally sprinkles with billions in aid big bad baghdadi i doing out in the evening a bastion of u.s. supported rebels which up until 2007 seed washington liberally supplied with guns ammunition and missiles it is the last a major rebel stronghold in the north of syria the last rebel stronghold of in that one of the last remaining areas in western syria that the government does not control booth tera honchos were given the same burial ceremony with the same rights baguette his remains were buried at sea in accordance with the law of armed conflict within 24 hours of his death of some bad law his corpse was taken by the troops to the aircraft carrier the u.s.s. carl vinson the he was buried at sea according to muslim tradition of cool 7 things

classified new pictures new proof that it was the men they claim to have killed just that would also hero dogs the dog that helped sniff out bin laden and the pooch who is in the raid in baghdad what are the chances are all well and good the great click bait for the tabloids but the timing in both cases a year before elections to kill the biggest the baddest guy you can add has got to get voters and you aside right the feet of al qaida defeated isis problem is of course they didn't 8 years since bin laden's death we find the cause. alive and kicking with their own mini caliphate didn't even live where they were hosting the leader of isis is a province that is the largest al qaeda safe haven since 911 killing bin laden

didn't stop al qaida they are googly grew since then now a week after trump off the baghdadi isis has already proclaimed the nuke a live but hey at least both a bomb and trump got absolutely bad-ass pictures to 3 commanders in chief among discuss what's next in the fight against terror with the america correspondent voice. assuming. it is dead how significant a development is that what extent will i still be weakened or they've lost the territory long ago i mean we're dealing with for all intents and purposes are small bands of. leftover bands of fighters their power their true power was was broken long ago with the end of the if it's confirmed and that's a big if always because he's been dead what 5 times by now is would be a significant development in so far as he declared himself the colleague and this

manner of his death has been. there only the legitimizing to that particular role somebody who claims to have the mandate of heaven such as it is and you know ending in such a fashion which i think was the purpose of president trumps comments the way he phrased it there'd be a lot of anger directed double trouble over his. what was called his betrayal of the kurds and that wasn't very long ago high potentially beneficial might this be in the other aspect for him taking out such a high profile target well your vast majority of americans would react to this with pride and joy ok baghdadi we got bugged isis's done for fantastic the media absolutely hated because this ruins their entire narrative about being a bumbling politician who's who's messing up the syria policy who's just needs to be impeached right away that's the narrative they've been trying to sell the

american people for the past 3 years it was a terrible day for them and a really good day for trump from the standpoint of inter merican optics for the for the population of the country at large because it helped obama didn't win and to bin laden photo that went everywhere actually and now they're saying that you have a sim very much the same situation analogous situation and yet the treatment is completely different. it was supposed to be a halloween brags it for the you count the day but the prime minister was forced to ask for yet another extension after months of parliamentary deadlock where the prospect of a no departure now removed the opposition parties have finally agreed to a snap general election next month. that the saga so far. has hit its hollow we brags it deadline i mean case you haven't noticed the u.k. hasn't left the european union again they've called a general election instead it's fair to say that for many here in britain brags it

is now a joke ever since the country voted to leave the e.u. back in 2016 the u.k.'s internet users have been trying to console themselves through the 5 stages. of grief denial when the brags it was all it was fast announced even the queen was confused the british people have to leave the european union right she said the people. and then there was the time that everyone realized that adele song was about brave visit. and brags that wary journalists started talking about the most important meal of the day instead she will say that breaks it means breakfast breaks it until it breaks breakfast and you keep the breaks breakfast we will make breakfast breakfast

a success. after denial that was anger best summed up by john bercow trying to keep a lid on parliamentary proceedings or did. she. know what i'm doing. oh do. i want it was time to officially trigger article 50 that's that letter telling brussels that the u.k. really does want not divorce well the analogy is well priceless. then there was bargaining when terrorism a made trip off the trip to brussels trying to get herself a brags it deal off to advance the own set of bragg's it induced depression

that was when brits started coming up with drinking games just to make things a little more exciting what we need is a bricks and drinking guy it would be so much more interesting if the whole country lined up some shots and took one every time said. words will mention the government is still searching for the censorship. come on us like you've been drinking going to see a little bit go on. to reason raised governments vision of a successful brags it had become this magical unattainable unicorn politics you know basically parents who promise their daughter a unicorn to reason why is presenting them a horse with an oist cream cone gluten which while over in brussels the u.k.'s even ability to get a briggs it deal through parliament turned into existential i sed there is a special place in hell for those promoting bragg's it without a plan said donald terse and the guest list is still being finalized

according to. those still empty and. it means the lot of. one man we can bet terse may think will make an appearance is britain's new prime minister boris johnson. with another extension agreed with brussels and a general election on the way the u.k. gets to stay in gregg's it limbo for another few months in fact pug tree has become the norm for those of us living in these green and pleasant pastures which brings us to the final stage of grief and that is except. an american journalist claims the us is trying to steal his freedom and silence him

after his recent arrest concerning that alleged attack on a woman during protests live on his way an embassy in washington in may my experiment thought his told r.t. he believes it's linked to his reporting and which he's critical of u.s. support for parents who chain. venezuela. why 5 months after the incident alleged in the court documents and this false charge did i have a team of police officers show up and demand entry to my house and take me to prison for 2 days without access to a lawyer i was told by someone who has very good inside knowledge of this case that a judge already rejected the warrant and i for the last 5 months have been able to walk free i have traveled in and out of the country if there had been a warrant at any point i would have already been arrested furthermore. why didn't they notify me that there was

a warrant so i could turn myself in and show up at my own arraignment because i have nothing to fear i'm completely innocent i'm not a flight risk why didn't they do that it's an attempt to persecute me for the journalism that we've done at the gray zone because at the gray zone we have been at the forefront of exposing the u.s. against venezuela of exposing one team for the covert and overt u.s. support they've received and for the massive corruption and now they're trying to steal my freedom. police said the woman in question identified the journalist from a photo she's a supporter of the venezuelan opposition not explain one thought was reporting from outside the finance when an embassy where the woman claimed she was badly beaten. i want to make it to be pushed to the 2 of them then they try to grab the passage so i start to do how do. i get. early this year

u.s. backed opposition leaders in venezuela trying to oust president nicolas maduro and to washington the supporters of the opposition it's had to install themselves in the country's embassy during the tussle for control with pro-government activists the alleged assault took place next month as attorney told us more about the political persecution. they decided to arrest him right after the gray zone had republished a story that showed that. and his team were receiving funding from usa id now are those 2 things related it certainly would seem like this is some form of retaliation if you sit in a court for arraignment you'll see 3040 people come up and their cases if it's a simple assault allegedly. will be what's called no paper the prosecution won't bring a case here we have a dynamic where one individual was arrested in may and now 6 months later.

they are now bringing a case against max blumenthal on the same matter where i do believe that there are political motives i mean how else does one explain a case that you know is brought 6 months after the fact. you know what was going on in those 6 months prior why did they not bring the case then because there's not evidence this man didn't do this so here we have a journalist on this topic and others who have been critically reporting inconvenient facts about powerful people. you know both in the u.s. government and in the u.s. interests and you know it's been reported critically on those which is a journalist is supposed to do and now he's being retaliated against and now you know this is his punishment for speaking out that is what this looks like. well we've contacted the prosecutor's office in washington but has not got back to us with a comment as of yet now still to come another nation facing

a huge protest movement we'll take a look at how things are unfolding in iraq after this very short break do stay with . you know we all take a language that we speak for granted it's like the air that we breathe we don't notice it and in fact most of us believe that we simply perceive reality the way that it is in fact we know many years of psychological experiments that's very far from the truth we don't see things just the way that they are instead the world that we their internal world we live and it's highly constructed by the structures of our brains but also by the structures around languages and cultures tell us how to thanks to. the people who are printing the money don't rely on taxes to get wealthy they're

not part of the real economy that's a does the same thing as saying the rulers of saudi arabia rely on the wages of the people living in saudi arabia to get rich they they don't they just print more or pump more oil so in the america the princes that run our economy just print more money they don't need the workers they don't need their taxes that's why they don't have wage growth that's why there's been that this aeration has their own media. back huge crowds flooded central baghdad throughout the weekend calling for a radical overhaul of the country's political system demonstrators have been blocking major roads and burning tires forcing government offices and businesses to close right. they've also been taking place in the country south with protesters disrupting transport networks in bad for it works government is accused of rampant

corruption and fairly to restore basic public services adding say the anger it's also launched a brutal crackdown on dissent is killing more than $250.00 since the uprising began . to love with all of the university students in baghdad taking part in this protest it's for our countrymen most of the people here are the patriarch to. these protests are sending a message if our demands are not mad we will hold even bigger demonstrations. lead the people decide for themselves that the people form the government at least. people are protesting and so the government should resign everyone is taking to the streets students young people the elderly when everyone is on the streets middle eastern affairs analyst ali risk told us more about what's driving the protests. just fact is that you do have the words 'd for corruption in iraq this is something which iraq all these iraqi citizens have complained all the time and again you have

to remember that there's a lot of a lot of resources you are correct it's a very rich country you know. somebody rob should be a prosperous nation if you take all new starters in mind do you know its economic strengths you already know it's as i said it was just tourists trouble tourists place where many shop programs don't visit to. iraq does indeed suffer from this problem. was donald trump's former national security adviser pushed into pleading guilty to lying to the f.b.i. in 2017 u.s. federal prosecutors have refuted those claims but michael things new legal team claim evidence against him had been manipulated flynn had admitted to misrepresenting conversations he had had with russia's u.s. ambassador at the time and was prosecuted as part of the investigation into suppose it russian meddling.

michael flynn lied to the f.b.i. flynn is a proven liar practice liar michael flynn is a liar why did the f.b.i. was a lawyer general flynn casualty number one of the russia gates saga is calling out the f.b.i. he claims they changed the wording of his responses to their questioning and did so to arrest him we also have information that the agents did manipulate the 3 o 2 you know it was long in a quote deliberative state as they called it which is highly unusual in an homage self we have taxes exhibit 11 to our document comparison of the february 10th and february 11th 3 o 2 that show the addition of substantial additional claims that were not in there

before and are not supported by the notes. the f.b.i. uses 30 tuesday keep an official record of their interviews in flynn's case the form was used by the f.b.i. to claim he lied but did he really it's not so clear anymore flynn's defense team just released a court documents suggesting something very different happened that the f.b.i. actually significantly changed the meaning of what he actually said. the f.b.i. wanted to know if len had ever discussed sanctions with the russian ambassador he said he wasn't sure he had spoken to many i'm basters and didn't really keep a tally although the record showed he said this. flynn stated he did not the narrative of flynn the liar was born but that wasn't the only problem with the interview some of which were there from the get go. the f.b.i.

wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview senior official you would work through the white house counsel and the discussions and approvals and it would be there and i thought it's early enough to send a couple guys over so who did call me send on over agent peter strock who was fired for sending messages to his f.b.i. girlfriend funny enough it's those messages that shed some light on how flynn's 3 o 2 was apparently tampered with on major edits and sent them to joe i also e-mailed you the day 23 o 2 a live this was proven to be a lie it was a setup and there is an investigation that is going on by attorney use the f.b.i. for political purposes in order to manipulate or to target certain people like michael flynn by using the countries like russia and others as scapegoats as enemies of the people as as those not to be trusted all of this was set up in order to harm political opponents and these notes that were typed up later were altered

in edited even so much so that the written word again was altered later it would be as if somebody say you are either normal person was questioned by police officers about a robbery and you say i did not commit this robbery but instead the officer writes down they committed the robbery and then you have to go before a judge and argue that your statements weren't lies within the notes of the officer and that's what this case is talking about that's why this is so important. and joining us here nancy international thomas will be here with all the latest at the top there. they put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject it. so when you want

to be president. or somehow want to. have to do i would be the person this is what before 3 of them or 10 people that. interested always in the waters of. their ship. of american men and women she was just sort of in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. the day that i was right and. you know told to shut up or they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he raped me with his birthing area if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from

women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave the sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or women. we were told there was no such thing as the deep state now we're told to adore it also arms control is done we should all be worried and concerned and why samantha power is a hypocrite. just because that ship right now is it just us that's one of the 1st of my it's not

space the more but it's. for the 1st political or it's. just look at. life from a downtown become a blogger he lives in a water company housing compound miles from anywhere in a tiny village that doesn't even have a name. but he is convinced that soon. that will change. the open last book here minister mia those though did you even look at the business the book and there's the meeting that was also the to be among some bread. and gloom sway you would say that the mr. ashley. every day of the week the horror shows are up at 6 am to milk the cows. at least.
