5:02 am
citizens billions around the world, politicians, including those in allied nations in either part of the nation with through denmark that they targeted sweden, norway, as well as frauds, germany, bank, muggles food was bothered by the n. s a by american intelligence. and what we have learned now is that danish intelligence was completed in all of this, and knowing cogs in this last surveillance machine. they help the american intelligence gather information, amongst others, their own cultural corporations, danish corporations, danish weapon, manufacturer, davis government. they had to do the inflammation danishes and the government to american intelligence and new. we've heard a lot of reaction to this latest investigation, which by the way, was carried out by european news agencies who were given information, internal reports and weakness testimony, as well as inside sources in his investigation. and victims of come out and said,
5:03 am
you know, all manner of things, no way sweden saying they want an investigation. and to be told of the conference we've heard of the victims, the leader of the german opposition who was bogged saying that this is simply grotesque on fish bits and decisions. it is, quote, set that friendly intelligence services are indeed intercepting and laying on top representatives of other countries. so one of the questions people might have is why denmark? well, on the technical side of things, denmark is a communications hub to all these under cables, from sweden, from germany, they will urge the converge in denmark, claire, other telecommunication centers. and danish intelligence gave access to this infrastructure to american intelligence, sienna, say to all these spy agencies, they facilitate that they help them carry out all the surveillance, all this spy, and with full knowledge. one of the questions was it was the danish government
5:04 am
aware of all of this and by 2015 they would definitely be aware of all of this the launch investigation. and edward soon had since come out and said that joe barton, who was the vice president over the world office, and you guys might and as well prepared to answer for this one, he soon visits europe. since of course, he was deeply involved in this scandal. the 1st time around there should be an explicit requirement for full public disclosure, not only from denmark, but they're senior partner, as well. with regards to the latest revelations about the extent of denmark spike, this is all unofficial. the perpetrators in the united states, denmark, they, they still haven't issued any sort of any sort of meaningful common the, the, the leadership. but it must also be mentioned that last year and this report that they published. they also said that the public may never learn the true magnitude of the, of this operation. the details denmark's role in all of this because it is too
5:05 am
sensitive. it may cause too much damage with shorter, you know, ring alarm bells. the fact that they would rather there be speculation, rumors and conspiracy theories, rather than admitting the truth and other big stories say after 12 years at the helm of israeli politics, benjamin netanyahu could be on the way out. right. we got positionally to natalie bennett has just announced he's ready to form a new government late today. with more details on the middle east correspondent policy, natalie bennett, who is the leader of the main party, which means the right party. and israel has now announced that he's joining forces with the need of the opposition get in that kid to get it. they have is 61 majority, which is what they need to be able to form the next majority coalition in his role . now, bennett has said that although he come from the right of the political spectrum and he's essentially joining forces with parties in the center, and he's doing this because the country has been in a crisis,
5:06 am
politically. they have been the election in the space of 2 years, all over the last 4 rounds of elections. we have seen a country weakening itself, damaging itself and losing its ability to function. we see ministers who are fighting with each other, who do not manage anything. we have seen riots and the burning of synagogues and load and aca instead of managing and leading their methodist to spread hatred and polarization between the people of our country to conceal their own failure. but the coalition that benefit is joining is a very wide. we've changed so much so that it's going to be fragile and not be able to form consensus on controversial issues like the piece. rather, it will have to limited to making decisions about the economy, how to deal with prob 19. and this is something that these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been appealing to the electorate. and to those who have joined the coalition about, he is not ready to give up without
5:07 am
a fight. and he is warning israelis versus new coalition could spell. disaster might be fairly been, i heard not totally banner. unfortunately, he's again misleading the public. the same lies for them to slogan some have written division from the person who himself sows hatred and division. his leading the scam of the century. and it has been the longest serving payment of job israel . he's been in office for some 12 years. and what we see happening here is really political parties coming together because they have constraints upon issues that ra, that because that we have a joint desire to get baton yahoo out of this come at a particularly sensitive time for israel. they was the recent israel. god, the war that lasted 11 days, the same time we've seen some of the with violence between the way the jews and he's wally ivan, that the country has witnessed in years. the
5:09 am
the, me the right let's try work where this is go, go live to jerusalem political unless mitchell barracks there know aid when he was deputy minister. thanks your time today. nice to see you. so the big question is this. finally, the end for the man they call the political masters survive. and what do you think? i would not be so quick as to write mister nathan. yahoo! obituary. i think that, you know, he still got a week left and as paula said, he has 61. bennett has 61 seats. now that are going to is what you need. so any one person who doesn't show up any one person who changes their mind and it could be someone from the other side that joins as well. it's still wide open, meaning it does look like bennett is poised to be prime minister. but even
5:10 am
yesterday, i mean if you saw what he said, 1st of all, he was speaking about unity. he was speaking about, you know, trying to calm people down. but i don't personally, it doesn't seem like he's fully convinced that there he says he's complete with that decision. but you know, with the right opportunity and if nathan, yeah, had a real government, he might leave and go join nathan, you know, it's too early to write is obituary, but he's, you know, it's just those talking to i was i was talking to somebody else in israel just an hour ago, the st. generally, the feeney across the board and for the public is his time for him to go at last know 100 percent. it is time for it to the out of go many people that even think he's done great things and he's done some, some fantastic achievement. it is wait time for him to go, he's toxic. but there's only 2 people in the country that don't feel that way. and that's mr. and mrs. newton. yeah. and they will fight to the end and he will not give up. and normally, i mean here's what's happening. he's saying that bennett is going in with
5:11 am
a left when government is, if the left wing is the most dangerous thing to happen to the state of israel, but yet if nathan, ja steps down are right when government would be formed tomorrow. so he is so emboldened to keep his position, even if that means a left or unity government with the left wing people in there, he will go down to the end and even in a normal country after he's not prime minister, he'll. busy get a message after 4 elections and he'll leave office. he is not preparing to do that . he is prepared to be a very vocal opposition and believes that at the end of the day, he will get the $61.00 seats. even if bennett is installed temporarily as prime minister, he is not going to give up. what sort of coalition government would it be or opposite side say, would it be a mess? well, you know, it is the chaos that is taking place in israel having had poor elections. israel will have as many elections until nathan now as prime minister. that's what he wants to do. at the same time,
5:12 am
this coalition of people that are looking to change and it's in, you know, it's, they don't have a clear cut majority right now it looks like they have the 61. but again, it's a very tight thing. the interesting thing about that group is they come from all sides of the political spectrum from the very left to the very right. the problem is going to be there. they're actually held together now by the desire to replace the, to know what's in the, to now is replaced, and he's out of the picture. i don't know what the glue is that's going to hold this group of this coalition together. and it may dissolve very quickly, or they may say, you know, we have to fix things that are going on in israel. it's too early to tell. but there's certainly when i think stability, either way, even if bennett takes over, it's not a clear cut. you know, thing for right now that this is going to be a stable government. and bennett is governing from a position of weakness. he has only 6 seats in the government in the, in the coalition, even last one of his people. he had 7. so it's, you know,
5:13 am
it's an exciting place politically. it's not stable right now. we don't know where we're going. netanyahu says that benny's plans, his ideas, endanger israel, what he's going to say. but anyway, that was me. correct. he's going to say that he says that bennet is an opportunist which is laughable. because that's an yeah, i would do anything. he's saying that, you know, he lied to the voters. he told the voters, yes, he told him that he would not go in with, with year le paid, but at the same time and it was in prime minister of a government of so who got more seats got in the 3rd election. got, you know, a 1000000 votes on the one platform that i will not go into a government with b, b and i and i will replace b b and in the, in god's broke away from the party of issue with your la paid and became the, the alternate prime minister to deal with the to now and that also those voters were very, very angry. but the situation in israel is we don't have a budget. we just had a war. we still have corona virus is
5:14 am
a lot of things that have to get done in this kind of hatred at a high level of, you know, animosity is not helping anyone. mitchell, thanks a lot, mitchell, back on the line there for jerusalem. political analyst have a good day. thank you. know, thanks 2 minutes. 2 at home because it was coming up. got a special for you. i'll see, brings you a special report from the central african republic, a country ravaged by civil war. we look at how russian instruct as a helping try to in that conflict. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic developments. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,
5:15 am
very critical time time to sit down and talk when i would show the wrong one old rule. just don't hold the world. yes. to see out the same because the after an engagement equal the trail. when so many find themselves well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the moon. ah, again, 3 russians into local police officers have been killed by an improvised explosive
5:16 am
devices. the central african republic battles rebels and its long going, brutal civil war. moscow has been helping the government by sending instructions to small alms in compliance with un resolutions in a conflict. this largely been ignored by world media in march. so human rights group expressed alarm of the nation's increased use of private, military and foreign security contractors. the agency says human rights abuses, a link to private military personnel and foreign security contract has operated with national armed forces. now i'm going to leave you this hour with a corresponding konstantin rush, cough who went to the country and met the russian instructors there. and he sent his back this special report. we're flying out of the capital bon key issue, the cd ball at the border with chad. this is our plan. by the way, we were told that that area where we go in is controlled by the government for the most part. but there are still groups of rebels hiding in the jungle and the intact
5:17 am
convoys or out post every now and then the country looks piece salt, but only when you see from above ever since the central african republic gained independence from france and 960 the situation here has been volatile the capital of a central african republic under attack, 100 killed, and the capital bank rebels in the central african republic, staged to a taxi of the capital baggy this is a country already reeling from the years of war and instability. the most recent flare happened only a few months ago when over a dozen heavily our military groups deemed up and marched on the capital bunky. they attempted to seize the city and overthrow the government. here we are. the rebels might have suffered syria to defeat in the past, but there is still a very real threat in some parts of the country. that's why our, our password was absolutely necessary. driving to local military
5:18 am
base, people look at us with suspicion local, malicious or active year and like ambushing military convoys like ours. and i know somebody did not sign your tech on the column was exactly in this area. they fired from the bushes using a man to grenade launcher under barrel grenade launcher and rifles. i know, but they miss you feel some sense of security only after entering the military base where the local army, stationed along with their russian instructors. but even this facility came under attack just 4 months ago, in 2018, the central african government control only a small part of the country. the rasp, belong to britain warlords, and their gangs. that's when president stan or shawn to dera, asked russia for out with the approval of the un security council. moscow started to stand in like weapons and instructors to train the army. but how to turn the
5:19 am
tide and now the government claims it controls over 90 percent of its territory. you can still, how many russian instructions are there? are. there are 535 instructors. what are they allowed to do here or do they train only in the open fire? they cannot open fire unless their lives in danger, or if somebody shoot the russians and can find it, right? they need to defend themselves. the russian and structure is in c, r, r, feel part of the russian army, but certainly have bashed the military experience for security reasons. they don't want to be identified and don't give their real names. one of the tasks that the russians and local military carry out together is this sporting civilian convoys were grounded rare access to see them working shelf when the programs, the reason now we are in the so called road of life to the camry gordon, the government called the right life because all supplies,
5:20 am
including food and various household goods, mainly along this road, even to automate job was they were allowed only quick job and the security guard was have the radio all the time pushed into the jungle. the militants now organized sword is and target unprotected vehicles, plundering anything that comes their way to soldiers, a flimsy shack, a fire, and an old harpy drive over a wooden fence. that's about all we found. of the road checkpoint, those to instill fear in the enemy. the police here also didn't see from it, above least not in the village. we have visited no surprise. the miller den stands this to you for that. he's on the new game and started shooting in the innocent people and then disappeared over all the signs of the russian presence are obvious . inside the local police station, we found
5:21 am
a scrap of paper with the russian captions on it. an anti malaria medicine's foreigners suffer from tropical diseases. more than the logo cooperation between the central african military and their russian. instructors has been very close recently, even the country we often have to hear e roof and food. we've had lucky to have an interview with an actual warlord, and this man is the leader of one of the militia groups that used to fight against the government. but then they switched to the side. this is how this man looked in the past. and this is him now, this is what i gotta tell you. you doesn't look like a former militia commander. actually. no more. it's true. now, i'm the businessman. there was a time when things were not going well. so i did it. and i'm a businessman that fits the pen. i want to ask you if you get to kill anyone yourself, come on, there's no on the battlefield. who is to come on as he gives the orders,
5:22 am
but the men fight not to come on deck. so i sent myself on the path of peace is then i have broken chicken's neck. unlike of july his same now in advisor to the president who did not every militia commander has agreed to lay down arms. yes. and finally, we made it to the border with camera and there is a rushing out which looks much more solid than everything we've seen along the way . basically this is a stronghold where all the incoming trucks are being organized, the convoys, 9 is already further inland. now that are possible now in the back of the car, we are worried that this part of our journey might be dangerous to jo level. so i was in the passenger seat next to the driver with lighting a cigarette, which is low,
5:23 am
passed my driver right under my notice was told over the convoy made it to no tree basis sunset. no incidents were reported this time. let me actually show you where are we going to sleep? because it's, it's quite something we can see a lot of weapons and ammo. there's someone's gun. this guy is known as godaddy, and he's been in the country for almost a year. now, there is a huge drip by his bad grinding, so using a to treat malaria his recently contract it. and how would you explain who in international worry or is proposal is the person who helps the nations in a difficult situation when people need protection. the day we're flying deeper in the woods to see go ahead to see a gold mine and a village. they were recently captured from rebels as out as a 1000, but i c. r is actually rich with minerals and precious metals,
5:24 am
but for this country it's been both a blessing and a curse. the as we flee over the thing jungle, i was sitting close to a supply of hand grenades. that grew, keep them in case they're fired at from the ground and they need to scare the shooter is often the village we saw was typical for c r 4 and devastated people like basic things like food and and they haven't seen much of the outside world has been less than a month since the village was freed. this man says his father was murdered by militants because he refused to give them money. the thing is, the reason not much you can take from these people whiskey. but actually, when the russians came, what did they do here to get in?
5:25 am
there were no problems. they came to protect us. how did the russians shrink? you? have they been impressive? no, they haven't. we can fly any further and we have to change the transportation. so we're going to use those bikes to get further into the jungle to reach the gold mine. this is our company, the local military, guys, with the road that leads to the gold mine was fried a little over a month ago. some times rebels come back during the night and lay minds hoping to blow up in those re truck and seized weapons and ammo was just fascinated track. there was that that exploded on my name. but how do we know that there are no minds that we just look age range, so it should be visible. there was
5:26 am
a tip off from logos. we saw our man crossing this part of the road last night. the military decided to check thoroughly if they hadn't laughed, planted any explosives, stuff, or something. it looks like there is a mine ahead that sounded away. i'd serial my close. is it a real mine issue there? yes, there is. a business to do mind is real and then to take one ability to production, make it to destroy the tribe right there. so we have to go away. the question is for is, how do the word lawrence get situ deadly weapons? what is clearer is where they get their money with come to the village of lighters, work at the gold mine,
5:27 am
but it looks like everyone's gone. the 1st villagers hid there is still scared of men with guns. local rebels used to force them to work in gold mines like this, a slaves and killed those, refused to do the job or were too exhausted to carry on. now it's relatively safe and people can keep the golden or to themselves the. busy you are a rich man, great. how much money you will get for this amount of on the set, something done. if you missed something, having spent 2 full days in the most remote and perilous parts of central africa, we finally flew back to the capital for an interview with the countries president,
5:28 am
stan or shawn to dera. mister president, i have to apologize for showing up. for this interview in this dirty shoes, but in my defense were into some really extreme places here. and we get a glimpse about what is happening on the ground. and i'm sure you know this, but there are still places areas in your country that are unsafe. so my question is, how are you planning to win this war? today, we are facing acts of aggression by the coalition of patriots for change, which is a union of former groups that have signed an agreement on pace and reconciliation. today, the armed forces of the central african republic, along with the allies, the russian federation, and rwanda, are engaged in a counter offensive put an end of the campaign of destabilization building up its military is the most pressing issue. foresee are now given to guard unit inside the
