me the ah, the us marine is sent to a military prison. still a bus think it's 100 leadership. so the afghan is done pull up. debacle in what have been a series of increasingly popular online video. how does the international criminal goals says that it will no longer pursue allegations of us walk around and get this done? prompting here is rice group, the qsi i. c. c. a being cowed by washington sanctioned the news hungry cases, a crate of meddling in its internal affairs. but i'm trying to scuff for an energy deal with russia gas from which we'll see kia, lose out on lucrative transit things. we think medical seem to vacate her role as

defense, so lead through the u. speculation world over whether the french president might phyllis shoes and how that might shift the course of the blog. first, the major speaks exclusively to r t in the wake of russia parliamentary election in a wide ranging interview, the president of the country, i'm prime minister talks about the challenges of holding this most folks in the cyber meddling from overseas voting up during the 3 day vote, central election commission servers were under constant attack around half came from the united states. that's reason enough for a fight. right? ah, did everything they said joining us this is nancy internation. this is will begin with the news about her sister project last r t. do each, youtube has deleted 2 of

a r t, german language channel channels. citing a less community guideline violations, one of the channels is r t d itself. the other is called df paid. last week they received a temporary suspension over supposed medical misinformation in relation to cove in 19 that was meant to end today. but instead its culminated in a band band. this permanent r, t d has over 500000000 views. and more than 600000 followers at the moment, and according to tubular labs, it had more than 20000000 views in june alone, and his 4th and the influence rating among german media. and then use them politics category leukemia. today's, on that story as more information comes in. but in the meantime, this gets when alex is from ya cohen, into that law expert, get in to ya. why do you think you'd she would decide to delete this? r t d a, a town they've said that it violated the rules, but they haven't said what those rules on are these. we're talking about

a private platform that we hear this argument made often. you know, the gang, you know, you, they let you know they can throw you out just as easily, but should they have to explain why people are being kicked off? oh, they, they demand transparency from everyone else. it is all about the internet, according to google is all about transparency is all about being open. it's all about having conversations, opening up conversations, but when it comes to decision making processes, there's 0 transparency. but i just want to go back to the point of being a private company. youtube hasn't got any expertise to to fact check. so if, say your, your sister station had say, broadcasted information about coffee, the day in youtube is not in a position to tell whether the information is,

is accurate or not. so what you tube does, you just say that relies, unofficial souls is now who are those official sources? the official sources are official sources of the us government. and some of those sources also un sources. so, so even the official governments say, say in case of corporate over the us government, tell us so that coverage has come from way to market and we've got nothing to do with with the lab that perhaps happened to be the same town. dane, this is the truth so, so it, it does very several officials who tell us what the shortly. now there is no debate, there is no paternity for anyone to put forward a different point of view. we're not talking here child, it spread goes to be called terrorist activities or for, for. busy any violence or anything like that,

we're talking about putting in the tentative point of view, which is supported by many, many other people. and the so the point of view is just being suppressed. oh we seeing now these, these, these big social media companies might operate quite benignly, most of the time for the average person. but all they, when called upon by, by governments being weaponized as a political arm one i'm going to send. there's no doubt in my mind, the police that will be our days who might dispute this, that the big social media company is on now acting as an arm of the government. because the us government is unable to suppress free speech. well, they do, they use social media company that's proxies and effectively what they say to me, social media companies, you know, wink, wink, follow, follow directions,

or they are going to be consequences perhaps so. so media companies will be losing some of their immunity rights on the, on the u. s. law. perhaps that could be made a liable for, for, for editing of postal. busy for, for post the posting themselves. so it seems now date the administration in the united states and find the way to suppress free speech. but without doing these directly, they are doing this very much indirectly and is going to be a beta, is going to come a time where with social media will come back and they will ask to be paid back full does favors and is going to come a time where, where they the party now now in child is going to come to be a social media companies and they will ask for payback favors scary times.

so we say acting at times as if they have political affiliations. does that mean you'll get the so to respond, you would normally get if this as if this was a government, do you think that the russian government will step in and say, ban youtube in the country? take some kind of action is if they were actually dealing with another government, well, maybe it might be, the dc is going to be something that will follow. i think there is going to come a time where not just guy, russia, governments, but other governments will say, you know, enough is enough. we have seen legislations in countries such as poland, where date, date, date, depalma. this is very, very clearly they will not accept any unilateral banning of politicians that youtube or google. facebook might not like the policies. and the thing that we are going to see more and more of governments retaliating in response to social

media companies. political, what is effectively political activity appreciate your analysis. ever interesting? yeah. cohen, my guess internet law expert can moving on the us marine officer. he recently became known by the public for his criticism of washington handling of the afghanistan pullouts has been sent to a military prison. left tenant, colonel stewart shall a junior is currently in pre trial confinement. the time, date and location of the proceedings have not been determined less tenant, colonel shallow will be afforded. oh, due process. what steward shall did his polarized many americans because there are those who believe that he is a hero. that he stood up and spoke out for what he believes, and that is a view shed by many americans. at the end of the afghan war, the evacuation that we saw at the end of august was humiliating for the united

states. that it was a arctic that had cost the lives of to many american servicemen, and that it could have been avoided. if intelligence had been heated, others believe that he spoke out of turn that, that he should have addressed as grievances through proper channels. but he himself says that off the 17 years in the military that he could no longer stay solid. that he knew one of the 13 american service men that were killed in an ice. his k, tara attack on the 26th of august had capital airport. and that he must, that he had to speak out to get the competence of senior pentagon leadership. people are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we mess this up. i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever, but i am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's

a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic berries before we evacuate everyone. i am submitting charges against general mckenzie for his bad assumptions. now, because i've been directive, but because the senior leaders need to be help counsel the standard is essentially what steward. shallow one sees accountability and he says that he has always been held responsible for those. i bet him and so my senior pentagon leadership be held accountable for those that me who didn't the 13 american troops killed in the terror attacked by ice case on the 26th of august at the airport of campbell. however, when he went public key violated all manner of protocols and codes of the us military because officers and service went off a bid from publicly criticizing their superior officers, as well as speaking with contempt of civilian leadership, both of which he did. he was also issued a gag order, which he willingly violated,

and which was evidently the final straw for the military. they arrested him and threw him in the military prison for his parents. that was an act of courage. although sunday id is asked the questions that everybody was asking themselves below to get to speak out loud. he was asking for accountability. in fact, i think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn't do that, which is mind blowing. there have been little by way of accountability. no one has been fired or resigned either at the white house in the biden administration or at the pentagon over what many american c as a fiasco the final days of american present here in again, his thoughts. nevertheless, what we have seen is continued hearings, continued grilling by especially republic republicans, but as well as, as well as veterans who have criticized the biden administration, which has been on the defensive with excuses after excuses,

retaining bog room would have required putting as many as $5000.00 us troops in harm's way just to operate and defend that distance from cobble also rendered bob graham of little value, any evacuation the staying at bar graham, even for counterterrorism purposes, meant staying at war in afghanistan. something that the president made clear that he would not do for now mister shallow, who office 17 years of service, says he, he walked away from a $2000000.00 pension. he has had it in his resignation. he has also been relieved of command, but he remains an active serviceman. as these resignations can take a while to go through and for discharge to officially be confirmed, he remains a detention pre trial, detention and awaits the most likely faced military charges. while the international criminal court, his resuming a probe into war crimes in afghanistan,

the investigation will no longer look at allegations of us atrocities. instead, the focus will be exclusively on the taliban and isis. k r t scale. morgan picks up a story, military personnel and top brass who were involved in the 20 years of us operations in afghanistan can now sleep easy because it appears they will not be facing prosecution from the international criminal court. the new chief prosecutor of the international criminal court has said they won't be looking in to us atrocities in afghanistan because of the taliban take over the country and quote, limited resources available to the international criminal court. i have therefore decided to focus my offices investigations enough, going to stop on crimes allegedly committed by the taliban and the exotic state correson province and to de prioritize other aspects of this investigation. now this decision to quote de, prioritize as the international criminal court is calling it has upset many human

rights organizations. they feel that washington is essentially being let off the hook. the prosecutors telling war criminals around the world that the u. s. playbook of delay and intimidation works. it also validates one of the cool criticisms of the i, c. c that it only takes action against politically weak individuals or nations while giving western powers a pass. by d prioritizing, investigating us and former africa national security forces, the icpc prosecutor, it's shamefully having him get out of jail free card. now, there were plenty of scandals and horrendous incidents over the course of the 20 years of the united states military presence in afghanistan. all culminating in the recent chaotic pullout and we also witnessed the incident recently where there was a drone strike that intended to hit isis k fighters and killing civilians. a family ended up dying at the hands of the united states, but it appears that incident like this will not be investigated by the

international criminal court. it's unlikely any individuals involved in such events will face charges in the hague. busy busy busy the me now the i c. c tried to probe us activities in afghanistan and in response, donald trump slap sanctions on officials of the i c. c. here's how then secretary of state mike, palm pale, commented on it at the time. we cannot, we will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court, we have responded any way. the way a responsible nation must, by condemning the investigation by suspending cooperation with the court and

denying basis to those most directly responsible for going after our personnel. now, while the international criminal court will be investigating the situation in afghanistan, they won't be investigating the role of the united states. they say they simply don't have the resources to do it. they're citing the taliban take over the country . but many observers are looking on wondering if this isn't simply due to the fact that the u. s. a has been so harsh and placed sanctions on icpc officials who did look into them. they're wondering if the new prosecutor simply wants to avoid having his own name on the sanctions list. hungary has slammed ukraine, accusing kids trying to sink in natural gas, the able to in budapest and rushes gas from the hungarian. foreign minister says that no amount of political maneuvering is more important than keeping people's homes warm or sag one for hungary. energy safety is a matter of security, sovereignty and economy rather than

a political matter. you cannot heed homes with political statements. today, the reality is that energy supplies in hungary can be guaranteed most securely through a long term agreement with gas. from this new 15 year deal will supply hungry with only 5000000 cubic meters of gas every year. mainly using an undersea pipeline called to extreme, which is not routed through ukraine and not moves as good care of which is set to lose money from the fee. it takes to allow the gas to pass through its territory. both countries already, some of each of the some basset basset is over the signing of the deal. ukraine claims that the agreement stance the favor of russia and not its own national interest. we consider this to be a purely political economically unreasonable decision taken in favor of the kremlin, unto the detriment of ukraine's national interests and ukrainian hungarian relations. for his thought, the chrome, it says the gas, there was no purely thing, can only benefits. and there's no reason for what it calls an extreme reaction from ukraine. can speak now to dr. pierre, a manual to

a man who's a geopolitical expert, piano manual, thank you. do you think that this is actually going to lead to any concrete actions for my the side, or is this just political hand bags the summoning of the masses way to react to, to see what's going to happens or future. but for my part of you is mainly for did you car communication communication wall. busy because you're behind this dispute about or are you guys the trans each varies they are road job got arrive are we are between ukraine and russia and ukraine. each trying to instrumental ice the construct to between hungary, on russia to attract attention to its own problems with russia. and what is very

strategy is asking you and you and you and or who you could, he's not a member of the you is asking you to you investigate whom, gary, which is a member states for dieter and be quite awkward situation. i mean, russia says this is just about money. ukraine says it's about politics. do you see political maneuvering in this agreement? where from the old guy and point of view they won secure or supply of god on for most of european countries varies. no, i cannot achieve to rush on god because each geography cordy quite or near near neighborhood and also is cheap through or. busy busy gas pipelines, but we know, but behind this dispute ukraine is playing the american game because

you couldn't consider as a pilot geopolitical pilot from united states to try to weaken russia and the united states to push ukraine against russia, policies and also to promote its own no or own shale gas, for example. they promote verb 3 seas initiative or so report under no corporation . and would like to connect ukraine to we are reorientation the infrastructure, which would, would be not small, or este west east west about north south on to supply. we've american shade got so i think there is a much bigger game behind this communication war. the fact that the gas is going through ukraine in the missing out on transit phase is either a big deal if you cry. i mean, is it, is it a big financial hit for them? well, yes, sure. of course, or ukraine is going to lose money each guys,

or if our guys piped on, i used outside the ukraine like turkish nor stream on. but we have to understand that bill a crisis are between russia and ukraine and a few years ago ukraine or stopped to, to throw gas to to of europe and became a big problem. and because you have to disprove russia so many european countries like your hunger rebuttal, germany one teach with direct access to russia and gas because it's much more secure, secure. and it's not our stage to geopolitical games we played by ukraine. appreciate your time dr. pierre manual to man geopolitical expert, my guess to santa thank you. now, in an era of increase cyber meddling and elections,

new challenges of rapidly rising and keeping boat secure. that was one of the topics that we spoke about in an exclusive chat with russia's former president and prime minister to meet you. med vetted, will be showing the sit down in full throughout the day. his a premium. what would you prefer to do during the 3 day vote? central election commission servers were under constant attack. according to the ministry of digital development, around half came from the united states. that's reason enough for a fight. right? i mean, everyone's sick and tired of big tech, including the united states. the big tech plays by its own corporate rules, the money they made them up. and now that's how they decide things. they let some of the hook give others the chop. they blocked the former us president everywhere. he had 85 or 90000000 followers. by, by why, why we don't like him. when i check twitter recommendations on who to follow. of course, the 1st person who comes up isn't about me. who is serving a criminal sentence? isn't this interference in the affairs of a foreign country?

it's blatant interference. francis took a deal with greece to deliver war ships and fight a jess. this comes 2 weeks after paris lost a lucrative military contract with australia. today's agreements widely seen as a way for ammonia, micron to promote military ties within europe and france, 3 game political leverage. lisa, a band, less of a nice to the europe eons most stopping my when we are under pressure from powers that at times harden we need to react and show that we have the power and capacity to defend ourselves, not escalating things, but protecting ourselves. we as europeans must do our bid for our own protection. or greece is said to buy approximately 5000000000 euros with a french war ships and fighters recouping the paris some of the 50000000000 that was lost when australia ripped up the nucleus submarine deal earlier. this month, camera, instead through lawson with the u. s. and u. k. in

a new defense pat leaving france, furious and tense relations between the nato partners. the major defense deal with athens may benefit microns old agenda to build europe's own defense and army. and with angular medical heading for the exit, he may have more luck than before. with the plan, as many see the position of defense of leader of europe up for grabs. show dubiously asked whether that person could be the french president, a manual my phone like the style himself, but the man with the vision for europe p pushed hard for an you owe me the call for rita integration reform and sending over the single currency. though we have good back to based on that when at least all the while germany under the still guy didn't. so merkel has smiled and nodded. but whenever push came to shove, she made clear who was fall shouldn't benefit from european solidarity while

playing against other member states. solidarity among partners should never lead to adapt unit and it should instead be about helping others to help themselves to have a history. so before macaroni even occupies the a health way as the french economy minister and during talk to help greece avoid crippling or 30 measures. merkel put her foot down. according to emanuel merkel ordered how to keep macro greek negotiations. brickle spell was every bit as powerful as i had imagined with the merkel era slowly but surely winding down. we all know that he's leaving you to fill. my point is clean the keen to them, but come he series. can you be a former investment banker, russell, more than a few feathers, not just in europe, but also across the globe. what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of

nato. nato only works if the guarantor of last resort functions such frances president, her french president, has found rather drastic words to express his views. i don't think such a sweeping judgement is appropriate. this will have to take destiny in our own hands. but the trans atlantic partnership for us is absolutely indispensable in relations with other countries of holsten kids to be rude. we do have a very special relationship. in fact i'll get that little piece of piece we have to make them perfect. perfect. thank you. and your delicious why for your one will come to perfect organization of this trip. thanks to you. thank you very much . no problem. thank you very much. thank you. think isn't there? a strong atlantis is movement in trends. the so go liberals that are more on the greens or the start the inter well,

who is being very apologetic and and i think he still does so much in between. the whole doesn't have it. i didn't know what to do, how to do it. not been a the neck, it was a video, a few of them and she was not, i mean, she was in the sense because generally so powerful. but maybe a success only be the leader or fewer. but i don't know. i mean, because of them he's not going to teaching at home. however, i intend to have often. so if it's showing time, all quite as strong as my court would like to make out. let you to does. it says here that you, the united states, has shown towards the submarine deal clearly illustrates the point we've been making for months. namely, the political dialogue with a nato is non existent, even. they have at home. he's had his work was being suspected, bali, the international press. my son himself was irritating the french who have not been afraid to lash out the look like

the getting the he just didn't come across this front to me and like he's got a lot of issues going on. i mean its own country right now. amec with a lot of the union got high unemployment rate with very large minority population. there's a lot of areas that internally which could potentially put pressure into area from a greater european side. i mean, it be does european area that me, it actually may give him a better view within internally with the country as well. but he's got them. you've got several internal issues that he needs to deal with,

as well as the course of europe. merkel exit to say to my home, i think it's time to come by his office shine. however, with a bite of his life to retain the president, the hearing problems not too far away, he could struggle to keep the dual attention of both the home and european audiences. and right now it is also clear where the political collin match is run through your vision. charlotte, steven sky off fee harris. i'm who we got a quick reminder. we have to move storage. just a click away on the dog. come up there right now. an article on the latest charges against russian position for electron volume extend the q, the founding an extremist group had on lines that are much more number if you brought it today. thanks your company joined me for updates in 30 minutes. oh i
