the classified pentagon the current leader of islamic states was previously a us prison informant and exposed some of the terrorist group's most effective operators. the. white house is run by anti european hawks replacing the gas pipeline with more expensive american gas. come to power in the us this will aggravate the problem on the european continent this fits into biden. floating breadcrumbs crying. veteran space travelers talk to us about the joys and challenges of life ahead of the 60th anniversary of the 1st manned flight.

oh good to have you with us just turned 11 pm on saturday here in moscow welcome to world news from the international. declassified u.s. military files have revealed that islamic states current terrorist in chief previously spent time in american military custody in iraq and he apparently revealed crucial secrets on jihadi activities. as the story. 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 do when you go. to war with ringback 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 and 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 is now dead former boss. dotty 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 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. president biden's about to appoint a special envoy with the sole task of killing off the construction of the millstream 2 gas pipeline that major link between russia and europe but one member of the german parliament foreign affairs committee believes those efforts at doomed to failure have been speaking to. 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 dirty and expensive but that does not bother our partners. in the u.s. it already dubbed the project a bad deal for europe with the secretary of state ready to sanction any german firms involved in the project. russian foreign ministry's urge washington not to put illegal obstacles in the way of the project and to abide by international law the things that standing up to go have precious become a vital matter for german sovereignty. 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 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 us thought 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. as we gear up for monday's historic anniversary of the 1st human spaceflight outings got special coverage for you it comes as the international space station welcomes a new 3 man crew who soyuz docked of friday here's the bottom of the thunder towards the heavens from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan.

2 russians. brought from rose colored small sad american band the hay of nasa then i will build the orbiter they'll remain there until at least october as part of expedition 65 joining the 7 other members already working up that the latest load came ahead of the 60th anniversary of cosmonaut yuri gagarin's historic flight on april the 12th 1961 to become the 1st human in space. and for 2 decades now humans have had a constant presence in orbit traveling at 27000 kilometers per hour on the international space station braving radiation and high velocity space junk science gets a liquid an astronaut and 2 cosmonauts including russia's only woman space pilot on the joys and challenges of life in 0 gravity. i went to baikonur in 2019 i was standing there 2 kilometers from the launch pad but even there i 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. 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 a rocket launch and you get to do what you've prepared for for years i thought because one of them sneaks what kind of dreams do have while in space and if you cry on the i assess where do the tears float. do 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. 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 other women haters there and ross course most of all don't know if the women always participate in the selection process and there are women who almost make it almost to the end and usually it is medical conditions are not given them a chance to complete i 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. 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 if 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 air 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 could you assess your favor to bring you something that was after that but we can ask people to bring something and the guys will do it 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 he thought what about the crumbs if you've been even some brad do crimes 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 makes good lives deals based 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. of moscow is also pushing ahead with groundbreaking innovations to improve our understanding of the moon it was done of 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 of the main difference is luna 25 was created with the help of 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 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 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 has never. been done before is going to land on the south paul of the moon why is it so important well because scientists are expecting to find ice 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 way for the 1st lunar base because that's what russia has its sights on. and from moon bases to the search for life on mars for russia's space horizons system expanding 60 years on from that 1st flight into the unknown and throughout monday we'll be bringing you our special coverage of the anniversary here on r.t. .

the fist in my ear a misguided believe by many of them by locking down the whole society can somehow protect the old high risk people who will see how this sort of on here stuff that wasn't the case did not betray. the high risk pool of people they trust in the us we have had over half a 1000000 deaths mostly older people there was a complete failure just saying that these lockdowns would actually put child born

to higher speed i am. that sunday will mark 2 years since wiki leaks founder julian assange has dragged from the ecuadorian embassy in london and arrested he spent 70 is stuck in that building after being granted asylum by ecuador assad is wanted in the united states of multiple espionage charges for leaking classified military files though so far the u.k. has refused to extradite him the un special rapporteur on torture has described the years one hounding of assad's as a war on press freedom as you can hear in the latest edition of going underground on r.t. dot com. but 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 trying to call a war on on the press from press freedom. because joining us andrzej lee

stands for someone. defense the right of the public to have access to the truth julian assange has exposed evidence for systematic state sponsored torture and disks are 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 ascension self has been exposed. to for various 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 isolation in india quit or an embassy but . specially he has been exposed to relent lists. threat

scenarios of being extradited to the u.s. into a jurisdiction where he cannot expect to be true. according to the rule of law and we are he has to expect to disappear basically in a burial a lie in some kind of a super much. like. one of the world's biggest air carriers united airlines plans to diversify the pool of pilots the company says it will train 10000 more of plans for half of them to be women or people of color u.s. company says a fewer than 7 percent of its pilots currently are women and just 13 percent are nonwhite the industry is bracing for a wave of vacancies as large numbers of pilots are approaching the retirement age of 65 but opinions are divided over who should replace them. actually united airlines has your customer i'd prefer your mission to always be to employ the very best and talented pilots for a girl less of race color or gender why would they not be qualified diversifying

the job doesn't mean lowering standards it means ending the practice of passing over qualified women and minorities in favor of white men one of the ratios of qualified pilots are you going to hire less qualified pilots just to be walk when i fly i want to be confident the pilot on my flight was chosen because they were the most qualified not because of their skin color or gender we got reaction from an aviation safety consultant who believes diversity is necessary but skills and safety should always come 1st. for safety reasons you can use skin color or gender as an excuse to have someone on the flight deck who doesn't belong there because they simply don't have the skill sets to be there that's not to say that you're prejudice or you're racist it's simply measuring a person's performance to determine are they the best fit to be in their position i

have no issue with diversity i have no problem with anybody wanting to become a pirate there was a time. as a young man i wanted to become a pilot and i don't think there should be any obstruction to somebody doing what they want to do however that said they have to have the training they have to have the professional skills necessary to leave the job properly so diversifying for the sake of diversification and coming up with numbers. out of nowhere. doesn't it doesn't mean anything. spain is doing its best to revive a tourist economy battered by the pandemic the government's now allowing in travellers from other states as long as they have negative covert tests i think contrasts those how not essential trips between spanish regions still banned the people on the streets of madrid told us the new rules make no sense. we are all

human beings and we should have the same privileges you can go to a restaurant with several people and then you go to the subway and hang out with 500. it is the contradiction if europe the same thing is happening throughout europe and france cannot travel between region side there but you can travel to spin the world the truth is really that bad it doesn't seem right to me right now i could go to france and catch a flight to majorca closing autonomous communities and then letting foreigners come seems contradictory to me. look at some other stories making headlines around the world now starting with anti lock down on the rest in austria. vienna and the eastern states have extended tough covert restrictions for a week causing fury in the capital more than 400 people rallied in the city center today leading to some ugly scenes riot police used pepper spray to push back the

crowds and several arrests were made. london and dublin are calling for calm in northern ireland after 8 nights of rioting the violence erupted in a pro u.k. loyalist area of belfast amid anger over a post breaks a trade barriers between the north and the republic police have struggled to contain fighting between gangs armed with bricks and petrol bombs it's the worst flare up the region seen in decades and threatens to shatter the peace deal signed exactly 23 years ago. and. cities across britain of all of the late prince philip with a 41 gun salute the husband of queen elizabeth the 2nd died on friday just 2 months short of his 100th birthday is funerals next saturday at windsor castle in what will be a smaller ceremonial rather than a grand state event. now if you thought of a modern day at cabins of a cramped spare

a thought for bryan robson he flew from australia to the united states in 1965 but as a stowaway inside a wooden crate well now he's releasing a book about his experience called the crate escape. mr robson who's from wales got stuck in melbourne at the time and couldn't afford his airfare home because it would have cost the equivalent of $12000.00 pounds today so he came up with a plan to travel as freight inside a wooden box the size of a fridge unfortunately though didn't go into as planned the plane was supposed to go to london but instead it ended up in los angeles rory sushi i spoke to brian about his airborne adventure. you know 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 in expect it 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 you've actually issued now a public call to track down the 2 irishman who helped you get into that crate 56 years ago what would you do 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 could and i am 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 far as passengers were concerned it was very expensive

there was no terrorism or oh no nothing so there was very little security actually after i did it they introduced what they considered to be a secure method and most countries then started spraying all crates with sneezing so if somebody was in there the they would seize obviously you know. never complain about the leg room on board again that's the news for now thanks for checking in without say i'll have your next update right here in about 33 minutes from now to see that about. the swarms of them so moving. and good your local was before.
