yes from belmarsh prison 13 miles from the studio 60 doctors have signed an open letter claiming the world's most famous publisher julian assange of wiki leaks may die without urgent medical attention as he waits trial for extradition to the usa for revealing major nation war crimes here is that journalist john pilger in the past 72 hours who has been speaking about the issue of a character after its smearing by newspapers like the guardian who are songe supplied with the revelations for so long whenever i see it online i'm reminded of the responsibility of the 1st to fail. yes. the freedom of speech freedom is a. part of the home this is strong. and it is strong above all is one. of the characters and.

the most of the story. i salute before you keya thora he's attempted to silence wiki leaks his revelations of mass killing at the hands of nato countries as on japan donati interviewing us on the struggle of hezbollah who had successfully saved lebanon from israel in 2006 shake us around a famous they told us that hezbollah believed in the freedom to worship and the freedom not to worship god today lebanon is in the grip of demonstrations as well or accuses the usa of interference in its internal affairs joining me now from beirut is former lebanese president and me of the hood former president thanks so much for coming on going underground before we get to the ongoing demonstrations in lebanon your reaction to a wiki leaks whistleblower alleging the o.p.c. w. report which claimed chemical weapons use by outside of syria may have been compromised it was the report which britain used to bomb syria yet so. as usual we

used to it especially in lebanon you know after our experience with the un. unfortunately they do what the us tells them we've been through that and as you said there was still blogger said that they were making that. proved that there was nothing to prove that and i can tell you i had the same thing in lebanon. many instances a stock thing with the implementing 4 to 5 state 22 year there is no return nobody implied that and then we when we got back our land by force. in 2000 had a big argument that the time with mrs albright and she was convincing me from new york that they would there are lots happened that there was still 20000000 meters

that 2 x. still missing and she is stalked for about 3 hours on the phone to come visit me telling me that if we will look after it i said i cannot if there is one meter missing i have to get it back it is my it's not my property to give away and after 3 hours our gay member very well it was about 4 in the morning she said that you know you are talking to or you're talking to the head of the state department of the u.s. there are what it means mr glass how did they fare thing go out of vice i said well i feel sleepy i'd like to sleep and i slept and they took the decision that the withdrawal has happened and the u.n. and then at that time i gave what the auger to they are given not to fill the gap so israel was worried because there were face to face with hezbollah so 3 months later mr walker came. the 2nd ticket of mrs albright and he said you were

right there were still missing 18000000 square meters and they gave us back after 3 months after the united and they choose a good solution just to prove you are how they work ok and they choose a good solution just to prove you are how they work ok the o.p.c. w.-o. ever still does not. say that chemical weapons weren't used but you mentioned israel there do you expect israel to continue bombing syria and lebanon as it has been whether i can tell you they think at twice now about lebanon because they know very well there will be hit head on and said they are as you know now they have a problem of fed lip and i am sure and the longer and i said it in the.

2011 when they stuck to the problems and said here and nobody believed me at the time i said we're going to win there because they had sent all the people from outside the country fundamentalistic cetera you see we've been through that and as i said they have an army that thanks national the president that sponsibility and they will never leave and we have now to the last step are fed live and as everybody knows now the problem is turkey why because we know very well that he was working with the fundamentalists and their way of making money with the art is there but so in the it with feathers and when it will finish and the hands of i will be clear it will be like lebanon there would think twice the. again is to ahead. what is that happening now is that

and this i found it. practically through my tenure as president as she sends to the u.s. what she wants in the middle east and the u.s. sends to saudi arabia who unfortunately they pay people around lebanon and at the same time as you know our monetary is in the dollar and because of that being in dollar whenever day one they start squeezing on lebanon like we are having now and it babbles that somehow that story if you want i will tell you well turkey of course denies helping isis day i showed al qaeda as does israel and of course saudi arabia denies helping israel but you mention lebanon and the demonstrations some demonstrators are

saying his will or should be disarmed britain considers has a buller's forces not only has one us forces but has warners democratically elected politicians in the beirut parliament as terrorists what do you make of the well i tell you what happened you will understand the his target in may and natural and 19th. 1933 i was at the time comedy in chief and at the time has mullah. was a small i mean fox and the south and when i was i mean nominated commander. 989989 i went to the south they told me there was hezbollah in that bag how i got about them and by the name i thought they were fundamentalists to that point there were. ignore. me

a sense busy. i mean the problems in 75 so in 1991 when i arrived they told me they make trouble and we used 20 hands that go to stop them at these people and hand them over to the tool and put them in prison i said dog day palestinians making trouble it was the 1st time i heard about hezbollah 91 and few people know that all my studies i did in england and engineer from over there are a naval engineering college and i don't know and it saddens but i said by means they wanted to go back to their villages where the israelis were setting in their villages so i said these are their existence because i had learned in the us i did the walk college strategy that they couldn't fight with. viet cong because

they said it was like them ere they could get to they are very easily it but they couldn't get to the existence so what i did i said delayed by these armies is going to back these lebanese people without knowing them and remember i got the time the president of the problem in a way with the officer that was with the forces of syria and lebanon at the time. he said how can you give such an auger and say i will hit back and then you would lose the army i said why then have a national army if we cannot had played by needs to go back to that land so just to tell you that nobody was with a resistance but the army was backing it up until 930 day as well i made the operation in israel. and the guy had pounded lebanon

for a week and the prime minister haggerty asked for me to go and see him i was commander and he says i just come from syria syria wants to finish with as my law and you your ground to go there with the u.n. forces feel and finish with them with that i agree man but he gave the the time. burn them with burn. what you call burning throwers where you have the palm like this i said i'm not going to do it and they had the they took in lebanon the decision to head has fallen and they told me say i wanted that and the u.n. at the time was a valley he was as well. and the pocket of haiti and they took the decision and they gave me they are there i left the army by that time 3 as i did

not president have his last so president assad said he wants to make my acquaintance when i said that so i thought there was going to tell me why you didn't do that so when i saw him he said he appalled you you and told you 11 told you to a threat to hezbollah why didn't you do that i said how can my conscious part of me to have lebanese because israelis are staying in their homes so he laughed he said you were right i have sand 70 in store lebanon who understand lebanese like assad and shabby and that ozzy i didn't talk that it was. cut down that are there that saw he said you act and he backed me and the resistance at that. if it wasn't for i was last had it wouldn't have taken more

than 2 hours and thought that and that as well and there were no iranians there was nothing it was the lebanese army backing it and the is it is again is there where you know the folks generations soldiers they don't fight they go in there go planes and that's how we liberated our land israel and the west and all one platter to stead confessional i knew about they are to me and in the army i could unite the argument and 19 when they went as well as the president didn't want nobody wanted and that remember they got shabby to tell me not to unite the army i mean confessional e because there were as. duels brigade and my own night we gave when i am god i said i want to end each brigade they are all confessions nobody wanted so i said

you can't take me out of the army and it is my job to do it and i did and it worked in the army but when i became president i found that the politicians all think confessional and this is something wanted by the west and by israel because when there are confessions in lebanon there is corruption and everyone still says i even told hezbollah and everybody 3 years ago you should make a election law whereby like we did in the army all 11 and elect that are members of parliament not according to confessional means but now that we are in terrible now and our young people that i really admire and they are asking do all of finish with the confessions like i was doing 20 years ago. more from former president emile lahoud after the.

let's move. on. oh we're going to call. you. could we're going to talk about getting out of your. algorithm is all. the time to read too much good tall. often to get a feel. good on the ball. going next time you don't come fall.

much in a pop or in strength. and then you have the record and what we have done is to try and identify something happening in the brain where the extension of the ripples corresponds to the depth of your consciousness. welcome back i'm still with former lebanese president i mean a lot of course for the president you're referring to. the father of the present president you probably are aware that some of the demonstrators say that as well those should disown him as well or of course was victorious against israel when it bombed beirut in. 26 can lebanon survive today without his will or in the face of

attack from israel i'm telling you the confessional leaders from the very beginning they didn't want hezbollah it was forced upon them because at the time i have last had helped me and. president the president president president of syria but shoghi had me and in 2006 ag remembered i was president and when this everybody wanted to finish with hezbollah but at that time i was president and hezbollah was that and they couldn't do it of course has my life should stay it should stay because if it to end foxes by law and i said it in 2006 at the beginning when all the confessional people didn't want they wanted to give up their arms and i said if it to end fuck them and 96 weeks

is that i live with that i have to beirut like in the 82 and it should be there with that arms so now that's why i'm telling you when the guy who couldn't beat us from the military point of view now what they are thinking is from the economic and point of view and they are trying to get into our gear on our young people most of them are asking for our dagger rights and they are gripe about it they don't want conflict that lets them and they don't want to grab ssion just on that you've talked previously about the corruption and the corruption in lebanon you've talked about how the assassination of there is farther afield career he was assassinated over squabbles over money just about the demonstrations going on today is this part and parcel not only of israeli policy but also private. zation

a neo liberal economics being forced on lebanon that's why i'm telling you now you said that about the park option nobody talks about it all of these are forgotten in their book and i've said it many times you imagine 989 when i was appointed commander in chief week after being appointed the president of the public i gaue balls for me and he says look how would the ag throw graphic having a he wasn't prime minister got the time $89.00 he with were going to half a $1000000.00 a month to the commander in chief since $82.00 since the invasion of israel and the because now you are commander and he had the ax. the chief of the 2nd bureau johnny abdul he opened the suitcase there were half a $1000000.00 and he said these are for you catch every month i would bring it to you i said who is that i think he said he is ex lebanese with the i have been

since 82 his helping the army and now you are commander i bring it to you so i said why don't you give it to the army and spend it like the money that comes to the army he said but you have to buy the officers so i stood up the president told them but i thought that he is mad the commander give it to me and they were staking it then the when i became command president they came back again and not only damn some of the gulf countries except that i just will tell you about how it is done so you imagine most of our leaders are getting paid from outside whether from saudi arabia or wow that is so now i would young people are saying these are the pure that has nothing to do with the ambiance is that we want to finish the corruption by having a law that has nothing to do with confessions. we want to be elected by all lebanon

not be elected my going out by michael madsen it by suddenly and that they fight and is that governance you know or something. they let the world know they were giving lebanon 10 years only $300000000.00 a egg when i became president by force i took it from president having when you are not bribed they cannot. i mean it went on you and i took it faggots here it was giving cleverer than $2000000000.00 so they were stealing folk then yeah i guess when $1000000000.00 and $700000000000.00 ok well finally they want to sell it again why obvious the. career is dead there is no longer prime minister is it time then with all the corruption you just talked about with the history of working with the the i.m.f. and washington authorities is it time for lebanon to break with money from the

g.c.c. from the i.m.f. and embrace the brics countries where as i said it a long time ago and that is sad if when we want weapons why you we have as assistance because nobody gives the army i was from on the phone line yes the us except that nobody gives us anything to fight is ahead they give us all tanks being used for 20 hags in drug them they send it to us all day at the banks and they sell us and they make money on it and they use to move i mean corrupt money buying weaponry that could not fight our enemy and that's why i said we have to back their existence but the israelis they want and we caught me and they want to take their weapons of as well or of course we should not give. their weapons if it

weren't for their weapons now. 11 would that been much worse they would have been in turmoil was that in iraq etc but now you say what is this solution and i said this whole used unfortunately even our friends they say it's ok we bring back this son but this son is cock up that is why i like his father he didn't pay he should have paid this if he inherited 80 year 18000000000 dollars he should pay for it i own $2000000000.00 when the father dies you know the tax from dying he didn't pay when he asked her because at the time saddam your guy was the biggest part happy he bade the low for $1.00 night so that nobody pays in lebanon these say is. taxes for somebody dies during denied he breaks his papers they did that doesn't pay $1.00 pastor and he didn't pay $2000000000.00 to

the government everybody knows that now they want him back prime minister and i just and i just heard our friends are asking guys ok former president obviously they would deny all of that all the different parties you heard urging there. is it your understanding that saudi arabia allegedly kidnapped former prime minister saad hariri not long ago and that this was connected to israel what's your take on on the us and whether money was connected to israel well i can tell you something at the time with i was there i made with. sadly having a very it was because. they said sad that i have is being lenient was has about hezbollah that's all but all is well it's everything is there and now he has at last a lot after his father died is father was much more. sure that done them but now

they're coming back to the companies they want to settle again like the seller like the water they wanted to buy the salad they worked i said make it why don't you make by god jesus and not one drop of water will go to the sea and you have a lot of article 11 and some of them is that i had taken them that's why i said we should stay at work and then we get our job as a chef and they want that as well but what is happening is that now all have corrupt in their pocket is their don't want think clean government because if they have a clean government if for example they're going to. i mean to sunyata then everybody will go to cracow but when you get it becomes prime minister nobody will bring it to god and now they deny it's not true everybody knows that they're mad they take money at the end of the responsible

people whether it's from. saudi arabia etc and i love the country if somebody now we know about to come because i only asked father and ambassador to the doctor do they have any and because of his elections to find something of their on the son of by them they want to make impeachment here they take money every month nobody asked for an impeachment from another country this is a high treason that's why our children are saying we don't want that but what is happening the ambassadors are trying to get and do it i am sure whether americans accept that they don't want to change the regime they want to keep it weak like this confessional and take the only stance they have which is has violence i know very well they had done as well or when he sends his son to die. he's not corrupt

but underground like me when i was president i discovered when the how they died under me i found their way up that they were getting money from so i would add as well which i didn't know is there anybody in the world like lebanon the catholic elect the catholic protestant elect since muslim moslems know everybody likes that you have natural like i did in the army we have to do it as well and the state and if it is not done believe me the. israelis who has the upper hand with the us in lebanon he there will. make lebanon go bankrupt and that's what they're asking for so that we become weak and they said i am after you are in the club of paki and now you have to pay what is due and if you don't play fast you have to take out because this there's 2nd you

have to do that and that for the good over the other ok i am telling this so that everybody knows i've said it and lebanon but nobody here is outside level and that's the pity for a president thank you thank you. and that's if the show will be back on saturday as european bosses your quote younger and all just back up their desks up to failing to give them the coup d'etat in bolivia supplier of lithium for the world mobile phone batteries will be talking south they are both sides of the defacto e.u. us back could it up still think you would talk about social media don't forget to subscribe to our you tube channel. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida you know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in meaning messes with your head what happens to the community the
