the deal hole again is relatively easy for iran but that cannot be said for the united states does the buy didn't ministration have the political will to say yes to the. top stories here on r.t. the head was a us prison informant. to american interrogators. exposing some of the group's most effective operators this according to the classified pentagon. the white house is run by european a whole set on replacing north stream too with dirty more expensive american gas this coming from a member of germany's foreign affairs committee when he spoke to us. 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 concepts of.

spacecraft successfully makes its way to the international space station just days before the 60th anniversary of human spaceflight. saturday afternoon here in moscow this is international with me from all of us here a very warm welcome to you. so the leader of islamic state was a u.s. military prison. in jail revealing secrets on the terror group that allowed western forces to kill quote high value. the revelations come from 53 previously confidential interrogation reports with more details here's our correspondent. 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. to believe we're going. 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 parts 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 is 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 dottie after he was eliminated in a u.s. raid in syria and $29.00 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 and yet they exist because killing people is not destroying the ideology the ideology is sustained by the continued american presence in the middle east this this unlawful 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 exist 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 a circle that goes on and on and on it will never end until we get out of the middle east. and c.e.u. wall mongers have gained office in america a member of germany's foreign affairs committee told us here at ati it's off the president biden moved to hire a special envoy for the sole purpose of killing the construction of the north stream to gas pipeline the m.p. added it's impossible to stop the pipeline from bringing billions of cubic meters of gas from russia to europe. a party rule mongooses 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 us had already dubbed the project a bad deal for europe with the secretary of state ready to sanction any german firms involved in the project. now a russian foreign minister statement calls on washington not to set illegal

obstacles blocking completion of the project and to follow international law mr hurd again notes u.s. strategy is backfiring. the dependence on the us is enormous it is always claim 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 start to lisbon only then can we speak on an equal footing with everyone else on a 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 and it comes as the international space station welcomes a new 3 man crew as their soyuz space ship docked on friday so for a moment here we return to the blast off for you from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan here we go. so 2 russians oleg novitsky on peter ross cosmos and american monk van de of now they are the 3 man crew of the team will be busy carrying out at least 50 types of scientific research and experiments at the station the crew is a new addition to the 7 members already aboard the i assess and the launch marks the 60th anniversary of cosmonaut yuri gagarin's historic flight on april 12th 1961 to become the 1st human in right. now former director general of the

european space agency johann dietrich and one he was one last about when he said he actually watched the garden's launch as a child he told my colleague and he aaron that the historic flight not only paved the way for exploration but even alien pursuits when i heard about the launch of feel like i got in and his flight their own i thought this is incredible and this is opening the future for dreams and 5 are seeing and this is for a young boy i was 7 years old at that time it's of course it's very strong motivation to understand you can have a tree and you can realize that dream day is no boundary for a tree and i'm really i i'm sorry that i never met him personally as this is what i can say but he was really a hero a fist time he had really a very special flight test so you know that on his flight home yet to leave the capsule and come down disappear so this was really some seem very difficult but he

was smiling saying you see i did it as a person in the know could you just blow our minds and tell is what we might witness in the next 50 is. oh that's nice i will be dead in the next 50 years that's for sure. what will happen yes i'm quite sure that faced with become a commodity we will see that normal people that was not being millionaires a billionaire us and travel to space i believe we will see that and in the next 50 years we will also see as a 1st man or woman on the surface all from us this is for human spaceflight we will see that space is really used as a daily quote it is done already bostic today was set that navigation telecommunication or subserve ation but space will be really just another continent for us the moon is but also as a as low as all bit we will see that we will have production facilities in space

because micro-credit tea is an excellent basis for several for medicines for materials and so on to my 6 year old son who's been adamant he wants to be an astronaut since about the age of 4 what advice would you give him and what should i tell him when he also asked me about life on mars the good thing is if you ask you that this is a very good basis already because that means he is curious and to be curious is very important so my 1st recommendation would be stay curious number 2 is and of course go through an education was school was university and look for it whatever you think is interesting for you would on a scientific or technological specked and then it's time to apply. and should i when he had this interest in aliens and whether there are other people that live in space on different planets how should i answer that. yes i mean

there are so many galaxies in each and every galaxy us so many stocks and so many stocks you have so many planets so you have a vast number of planets in our universe and therefore the probability that it is very very low but the probability that we need one of those is also very low because of the distance so you can say yes there i yes but so far we did not meet them and maybe we will never meet them well moscow is also pushing ahead with groundbreaking innovations to improve our understanding of the moon auntie's even to donal spoke to the 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 you 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 are the main differences luna $25.00 was created with 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 luna used big and heavy rockets heavy class loads rickles for our projects we shifted to medium close launch vehicles which are cheaper like soyuz or so 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 moon $25.00 is set to fly into space on the 1st of october this year already and it's going to do something that i. as 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 overall 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 but what about women's rights in space or a flying bread crumbs and dancing in 0 gravity these are important issues. industry pros on what they call the real issues of flying to the stars. not to the i went to baikonur in 2019 i was standing there 2 kilometers from the launch pad but even there was soon notice and sweat and so much i can it even imagine what you feel when you're right there waiting for the launch of us. 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 kuzma not them sweet what kind of dreams do have while in space and if you cry on the i assess where do the tears float. 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 i don't know jelly or something where they did they just stay there permanently in space your tears don't fall. 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 not a woman hater is there and ross cost most of all that no of course not the 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 will not have a question about the time how did understand when is the day and when is the night where the floor is and where the silliness. of the cone 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 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 of thought has it 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 could you ask such a favor to bring in 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. to the list of things that can be brought up and it is impossible to take something secret of the space station. what about the crumbs if you've been eaten some dried crumbs fly all over the place ringback. legends about crumbs they can cause some problems but actually they are sucked up by the filters very fast. paced

bread 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. join us for our coverage of monday's anniversary of course. a new era of human space travel and to mark this pivotal moment you'll be covering more high flying missions in the coming days.

it is good to have you with us today this sunday will mock 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 a son she'd been granted asylum by ecuador and had spent almost 7 years in the embassy off the publishing a series of classified military files refuting alleged u.s. war crimes now the u.s. has since sort of songes extradition despite complaints from human rights activists and un special rapporteur on torture mills meltzer has referred to the saga as a war on press freedom you can watch the full interview with meltzer ongoing on the ground here on r.t. international throughout the day. i'm not sure it's a key event in the war on terror i think it's a cheap event than what might be trying to call

a 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 a sentient cell 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 support 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. the talks have reserved when i came international issue joe biden's administration has said to resolve the iran nuclear deal with donald trump left in 2018 brings the signatories together in vienna to find a way out of diplomatic deadlock however the u.s. and iran will not be talking directly as ati's simon wright explains. there are many jobs for life in this day and age unless you're a diplomat working in u.s. 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 a rare look clear deal clearly felt he was being deprived of the birthright of all american presidents and after release grew over the iranians but there was a twist there's always a twist u.s. president elected joe biden says he plans to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal course immigrant children from central america just because biden 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 they'll 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 where 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 one step 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 says that since iran started enriching uranium after the collapse of the deal it's now down to a few months 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 is there are some of your top stories for you here on our international on this saturday thank you for sharing your time with us here nearly half past 3 in the afternoon here in moscow we're back soon with more of your news had. the swarms of them so moving. and good your local was before.

much of those who heard it's a bit of you are never seen with the north we go we're going to. move. move. move show you this look beautiful i mean it's going to look good. muslim also this is also a good view films for good girls. to go to shows look but look the same you want me to show the story to you should go. to starts to. get to me to do it with the little one wished they'd say look it is it's. your stash not just justice to you tonight they mashed on truck to stop the president and please control this project until.

we have produced a ghost whisperer to snap them up when you look as good as the girls are with you sir your supporters to your sure station shouldn't be you should put door for the one whose job is the. best team in my ear a misguided believed by many of that by locking down the whole society you can somehow protect the old high risk people but we're seeing now is the obvious that that wasn't the case it did not possess. the high risk pool of people to trust in the u.s. field. over 2000000 deaths mostly older people so there was a complete failure to seeing these last dance with actually protect the high risk people.

i think one of the worst things as a kid is what do you want to do it's not what you want to do it's why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your y. being aware of work as a way of expression people ask me what motivates me every day and i look i'm just being me i started my company because it was an expression of myself i am just painting on a canvas but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream what they see themselves becoming having that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the shot and i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us we have to picture what our goal is is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal but what do we want our life to look at.
