very critical. you see. top stories here on the head of the u.s. prison informant unquote. to american interrogators exposing some of the terror group's most effective operators this according to declassified. the white house is run by european replacing north with dirtier more expensive that's according to a member of germany's foreign affairs committee he spoke with us here at. the party room on this is come to power in the u.s. this will aggravate the problem on the european continent this fits into biden's concept.

successfully makes its way to the international space station just day head of the 60th anniversary of manned space flight. 2 pm on a very. welcome to weekend headlines on r.t. international. the leader of. the u.s. military prison who quote like a bird in jail revealing secrets on the terror group that allowed western forces to kill quote. the revelations come from 53 previously confidential interrogation reports more details now with. when islamic state was running rampant all over northern iraq a few years ago the indigenous u.c.d. community was bearing the brunt of the jihadi atrocities perhaps more than anyone

else is. going to be with you when you go. to war with you. now some kind of senior figure within eisel ranks must of been behind all this right one of the accused is current islamic state leader. and guess what the released documents reveal the man was once a prisoner of the u.s. military and provided the pentagon with extensive intelligence before being let go in several reports. u.s. forces are the best time of day to find islamic state in iraq members in different locations around mosul for example describing a specific cafe well prince of smith's daily. detainees seems to be more with every

session what else do we learn from the declassified reports. was an absolutely precious asset for the interrogators he revealed the identities of terrorist leaders provided map like directions on how to find them the man even pointed out the phone numbers of 19 jihadi officials as well as pay they got for their jobs to say the current head of eisel once bitrate the group step he commander to american interrogators to then take his place this led to a u.s. military op in which the 2nd in command of the islamic state pretty obsessor group was killed in 2008 think guantanamo think of plenty of other individuals imprisoned by uncle sam you can't help wondering how the hell malo walked free the point it happened at is unclear too but the last interrogation reports mentioning him are dated july 2008 so what's with the release was it a stupid accident

a major system full or maybe someone thought the guy would never really cause trouble well then the story of ice holes now dead former boss. dottie should ring a bell the fact 'd that al baghdadi got his start in an american prison isn't unique there are many people including this use this current isis leader of the american prisons and iraq you've been described by many as an incubator for an incubator for isis you know she's not a war in the. area there were hundreds of prisoners thousands of prisoners life many of whom cooperated all who were eventually released i think is part and parcel of the lack of strategic focus that as plagued the united states in terms of its interactions in the middle east since the. very bad decision to. iraq back in 2003

we haven't made a good decision since then all malala turned out to be the media its successor of al but daddy after he was eliminated any u.s. raid in syria and 29 thing today washington has a bounty of $10000000.00 on all malas head well after all it's the us that one spearheaded the war on terror and remains the most successful force in ridding the world of the evil or maybe something has gone wrong with how it's done we've killed isis members by the 10s of thousands if not hundreds of thousands the same without ita in the n.t. exist because killing people is not destroying the ideology the ideology is sustained by the continued american presence in the middle east this this on lawful presence in iraq and syria and elsewhere so you know until which time we can

diffuse that which motivates these people to support isis isis was always exists no matter who is in charge and how many of their leaders we kill i mean it's a vicious cycle the the american presence in the middle east creates isis and the continued struggle against isis is used to justify the continued presence of the american military in the middle east which creates isis and it's just the circle that goes on and on and on it will never end until we get out of the middle east. and see what all mongers have gained office in america a member of germany's foreign affairs committee has told us here at. it's off the president biden moved to hire a special envoy to kill the construction of the north stream to gas pipeline the m.p.i. that it's impossible to stop the pipeline from bringing billions of cubic meters of gas from russia to europe. a party of war mongers has come to power in the us

this will aggravate the problem on the european continent this fits into biden's concept but we have no other choice the project has been approved by all the authorities and it is fully financed if we don't finish it for whatever reason we will lose billions of euros we will also not be able to guarantee our energy security the project will be finished but it's not clear what compromises will have to be made i know that the resistance is also commercial because the us wants the liquefied natural gas market for itself and wants to supply liquefied natural gas to europe even though american liquefied natural gas is much more expensive and environmentally unacceptable it is to see an expensive but that does not bother our partners the u.s. has already done the project a bad deal for europe the secretary of state ready to sanction any german companies involved in the project. while a russian foreign minister statement calls on washington not to step in legal obstacles blocking completion of the project and to follow international law heard

again notes u.s. strategy is backfiring. the dependence on the us is enormous it is always claimed that we are becoming dependent on russia to gas imports but that is only one percent of our dependence on the us biden can do anything he wants with this government which is completely under the influence of the us they have nothing to fear but if it changes and if we trade move with russia it would be the best thing we could do if we can't do that or we don't do it russia will link up with china and then we will be crushed between the 2 blocs we have only one way out of this mess we have to communicate with russia and end the sanctions we must build a free economic zone from the eyes of our stock to lisbon only then can we speak on an equal footing with everyone else on the political and economic level at the moment we are not sovereign only if you say it but everyone knows that the us has a dilemma if they continue this way europe will shake them off and deal with russia differently. so as we gear up for the historic anniversary of the 1st ever human

spaceflight r.t. has special coverage for you over the coming days it comes as the international space station welcomes a new 3 about the crew of the soyuz space ship docked on friday so we return to the barber to blast off for you from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan here we go. 2 russians oleg novitsky and peta don't put off for all that there of course from most that we have the american value to have now said they're the 3 man crew the team will be carrying out old well i guess up to 50 different types of scientific research at the station the crew is a new addition to the 7 members already aboard the i assess and the launch mocks the 60th anniversary of course when all your gig are in this historic flight on april 12th 961 to become the 1st human in space. while moscow is also pushing ahead with groundbreaking innovations to improve our understanding of the

moon. was done off spoke to scientists behind a new lunar lander. this warehouse holds the next big thing of the russian space exploration program if it had a p.r. slogan it probably be back to the future because by this it's called moon 25 russia aims to return to the earth's only proper natural satellite well the moon building up on the legacy and the lunar program of the soviet union at the bus of the main difference is luna $25.00 was created with the help of modern technology standards of course the machines that flew in the previous century were big and bulky and since space is an expensive pleasure all the engineering and development of space technologies are aimed at minimizing mass there for it old lunar use big and heavy rockets heavy class loads rickles for our projects we shifted to medium close launch vehicles which are cheaper like sawyer's also used to and of course the approaches to construction used for designing the machines are in line with the modern technology.

this is what's left of when you 4 or moon 24 the direct predecessor of the probe that is set to fly to the moon this fall the 2 are decades apart and this 1 may not look like much after all the descend hasn't been easy for it but it was the last time the soviet union got lunar samples in a container exactly like this one. the assembly here barely stops after all the moon $25.00 are said to fly into space on

the 1st of october this year already and it's going to do something that has never . been done before is going to land on the south pole of the moon why is it so important because scientists are expecting to find in the craters there and hence water possibly the most precious resource of all for humanity out there in space this manipulator will be grabbing samples and putting it into a compartment above it that's where the equipment installed on this machine will be heating it up and analyzing it and beaming results back to earth and potentially paving the way for the 1st lunar base because that's what russia has its sights on women's rights in space flying bread crumbs and dancing in 0 gravity artie's saskia taylor quizzed industry pros and some of the real issues around flying to the stars . did not think i went to baikonur in 2019 i was standing there 2 kilometers

from the launch pad but even there was so nervous and sweat and so much i can't even imagine what you feel when you're right there waiting for the launch. sources actually we feel pretty calm because i've been preparing for ages and finally it's the moment i've been waiting for for so long it is like waiting for a birthday cake and here you get your piece of the cake rocket launch and you get to do what you've prepared for for years thought because one of them sneaks what kind of dreams do have while in space and if you cry on their i assess where do the tears float. if you watch the movie gravity which is a it's visually beautiful but it's factually terrible they have the actress sandra bullock cry and her tears come squirting out of her eyes and and fly across the spaceship and i'm thinking when i cry on earth my tears don't come squirting out of my eyes and fly across the room it's ridiculous. your tears just form and

stay on your eyeball like like i don't know jelly or something where they did just stay there permanently in space your tears don't fall if you think right now you are the only woman in the russian team how many years has it been that this is not the 1st woman since 2016. a woman hater is there and ross cos most of all that no of course not all women always participate in the selection process and there are women who almost make it almost to the end and usually does medical conditions are not given them a chance to complete i have a question about the time how do understand when is the day and when is the night where the floor is and where the silliness. picone keep track of the summer we see 16 sunrises and sunsets so we check our watches to see if it is day or night. what excuse can you use of you're late for work here on earth we always say i'm in a traffic jam but if you're late for work at the station what would you say i was

just looking up at the end of this and i just drifted away in my mind when you're living on board the space station there is not just mr and control there in correlative just on the outskirts of moscow at super but there's also mission control in houston and in montreal and in munich and in tokyo and all of those mission controls are telling you what to do and they put it on this computer screen and this red line is moving across your life and it tells you what you're doing every 5 minutes for the whole 6 months that you're on the space station but i think the standard excuse of there is there are 6 people and only 2 bathrooms so that's probably the best excuse we have above all a thought has ever happened that while you are as the eyes sas people come there and bring you something that you're really the wanted from earth such a favor to bring is something that was after that but we can ask people to bring something and the guys will do if the mission control allows them but small things

because there is a strict list of things that can be brought and it is impossible to take something secret place of the space station yes we thought what about the crumbs if you've been eaten some dried do crumbs fly all over the place they get the oh legends about crumbs they can cause some problems but actually they are sucked up by the filters very fast this basically is deals they spread has been made this small our american colleagues even call it barbie bread like the bread for barbie bread that specifically was made so tiny to be eaten in one bite and avoid the crumbs to stick around for a special coverage or not international of course your garden flight ushered in a new era of human space travel and swap is pivotal moment will be covering more high flying missions over the next few days.

because the banks are getting so much free money from the government they don't want to take even any restaurant any small to medium sized enterprise or anyone looking to buy a house because why take any risk at all if the government just going to stuff trillions of dollars on your balance sheet. in the e.u. no misguided believed by many of them by locking down the whole society you can somehow protect the old high risk people we're seeing now is so obvious that that wasn't the case it did not achieve. the high risk pool of people they trust in the us feel have now over half a 1000000 deaths most little of people there was

a complete failure to saying that these last dance would actually put china and all the high risk people. good to have you with us today for the program this sunday 2 years since wiki leaks founder julian assange was forcibly dragged from the ecuadorian embassy in london and arrested by police to briefly remind you as been granted asylum by ecuador and had spent almost 7 years in the embassy after publishing a series of classified military files allegedly revealing u.s. war crimes and that's before he was torn from the building and sentenced to

a prison during which he reportedly suffered psychological torture the u.s. has since sort of a tradition despite complaints from various human rights activists u.n. special report to torture has referred to the saga as a war on press freedom you can watch the full interview with on going underground. i'm not sure it's a key event in the war on terror i think it's a cheap event in what might be termed a core war on on the press from press freedom. because joining us andrea stands for someone. defends to the right of the public to have access to the truth julian assange has exposed evidence for systematic state sponsored torture and this these crimes that she provided evidence for have never been prosecuted even after new evidence was published and no one has ever been prosecuted for those

acts of torture secondly julian assange himself has been exposed. to farias forms of cruel inhuman or degrading treatment that do amount to psychological torture while i visited him out but for weeks after he had been arrested on the 9th of may 2019 and he was obviously was under a lot of stress he already had that time physically belonging to good physical shape she had suffered through 6 years of of isolation in india quit or an embassy but. he specially he has been exposed to relentless. threats scenarios of being extradited to the u.s. into a dura stiction where he cannot expect to be treated according to the rule of law and we are he has to expect to disappear basically in a burial alive in some kind of a supermax prison for the rest of his life. 20 past here in moscow

talks have resumed on a key international issue joe biden's a ministration has set to resolve the iran nuclear deal which trump left in 2018 brings the signatories together in vienna to find a way out of diplomatic deadlock but the u.s. and iran will not talk directly as artie's simon wright explains. there are many jobs for life in this day and age unless you're a diplomat working in us iran relations because that never ends yes they're on it all over again in vienna again washington and tehran are taking steps to revive the iran nuclear deal in 2015 they signed the joint comprehensive plan of action despite iran agreeing to scale back its nuclear program making it harder to build a bomb it says it doesn't want to build anyway 3 years later this i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran's nuclear deal clearly felt he was being deprived of the birthright of all american presidents and

thus to release grew over the iranians but there was a twist as always are to assist us president elected joe biden says he plans to rejoin the 2015 clear deal course immigrant children from central america just because boyd says it's going to happen doesn't mean it actually will. too much so that brings us to the new talks in vienna this week of course as it is the u.s. and iran there has to be an element of fast about the whole proceedings and one hotel of the diplomats from around the e.u. russia china and the you carry the u.s. delegation is across the road in another hotel the 2 sides won't hold direct talks only just kind of stand near each other and the europeans becoming kind of living metaphors for their true standing in the world and being used as messenger boys and girls literally running notes across the road between the 2 camps when you fancied someone at school and balancing the main sticking point is the u.s. wants this to be a step by step process to get the deal back up and running on quite reasonably you

have to say things that the u.s. was the one to pull out this should be a deal which will see the fall removal of sanctions to be fair to the u.s. lifting sanctions won't be that easy washington's put in place $1600.00 of them as a lot of paperwork strange quirk of this deal is a lot of attention is put on how long it would take iran to actually build a bomb the original deal about a year the west since iran started enriching uranium after the collapse of the deal is now down to a few months but the real pressure seems to be coming from the election cycle because iran's president rouhani wants to get something in the bag before elections in june because the conservatives he's facing are not big on the deal and president biden worry needs to live up to his election promises because what he's not getting any younger easy. pushing ahead with washington's top rival beijing half a decade of talks concluded last month with iran and china a 25 year deal on strategic and economic partnerships the agreement is part of

beijing's enormous belt road trade initiative part of which will pump $400000000000.00 into global infrastructure he's been sworn got opposing reactions from a panel of guests on his no b.s. podcast. well i get mental one can say is the manifestation of. a long debated policy of to the east or look to the east after 'd you were surveyed do all of iran's nuclear deal in 2018 this policy gain more credibility in order to put to allow iran to cause more relations in terms of it other countries especially russia and china in the eyes of l. these deals this agrement could be seen as a very new course of action for iran to project its power and to prove that. the rain and politicians may say that they are not there are no longer

of olive oil or of those 2 u.s. sanctions and the even past that there came into being after this impasse bit the biden administration and guarding the levi will of the nuclear deal be rainy and now can prove that they are no longer isolated they. believe as you do with the e.u. it's problematic we believe that we should review. it and eventually have a better leave them there one of the 1050 of the j.c.b. or 8 or that are the initiative that they added encourage everyone to continue with their also with the provocation the more. it was seen going back to the g.d.p. way the it's dangerous hope that by that and by then we'll learn to do it when we do the buying going to atlanta for these they were action we end of the agreement

and we know i mean basically give my hand give you their efforts to. liberate people who believe without actually getting anything you read their. now if you thought that modern day cabins were cramped spare a thought for bryan robson you flew from australia to america in 1965 as a stowaway inside a wooden crate and he's now releasing a book about his experiences called create escape mr robson who's from wales was stuck in melbourne at the time he couldn't afford a home which in today's money would have been about 12000 pounds so he came up with a plan to travel as freight inside a wooden box the size of a fridge there we didn't go as planned the plane was supposed to fly to london but it wound up in los angeles i spoke to the man in question. it i understand you spent 4 days in that box 'd 56 years ago i mean it's sounds like absolute torture

how did you survive to be honest i'd like to know that it was absolute dollar general and an expected to be and it was really painful. lack of oxygen no oxygen no air pressure in the old. no heating it was absolutely freezing or it was absolutely boiling in between oh it wasn't a very nice experience but as i understand it you actually issued now a public call to track down the 2 irishmen who helped you get into that crate 56 years ago what would you do you know when you find. i'll let them buy me a beer. well perhaps i'll buy them one i just want to make sure they're all right i have tried for oh well i tried initially to contact them and i couldn't and i'd like to contact them and yes sam come and buy him a drink go have a nice time have a reunion what about what about modern day that if you try to do this today with

modern day airport security do you think it will be possible no absolutely not in those days there was no security it was very lax. aviation was fairly in its infancy as found as passengers were concerned it was very expensive there was no terrorism or oh no nothing so there was very little security and actually after i did it they introduced what they considered to be a secure method and most countries then started spraying crates with seizing up so if somebody was in there the they would seize obviously you know. this is our international thanks for sharing some of your time with us today on this saturday we are back soon with more.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. very dramatic development only personally. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. to sit down and talk. if you're born into a poor family. born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die. generational poverty. it's

a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. i am max kaiser this is they guys are reports so much to get checked analysts they say maxwell we have been warning the audience we said that all this money printing would pop up somewhere and we have of course seen the wealth gap explode over the past year and here are some data showing how those who already own assets and a time of relentless money printing are the ones who are earning the most well since beginning of pandemic median sales price of u.s. homes has jumped by $50000.00 to a record 370000 servicing debt each month this $100.00 more now than

a year ago as for.
