oh the ah, crossing you choose a red light from permanently bonds to german language channels for allegedly violating the community guidelines. don't these editor in chief goals that i full fledged declaration of media war by germany on russia elsewhere were us. maureen is sent to a military prison after the best thing, his country's leadership for the afghan. some pullout debacle in one of the series of increasingly popular online video. international criminal court will no longer pursue allegations of the us war crimes. enough gone the sound prompting furious rowing schools to accuse the c. c, a being cowed by washington sanction at green cases,

the kind of muslim, and it's internal, the 1st trying to scope an energy deal with russia gas from which we'll see kia, losing out on lucrative trend. ah . hi there, good evening to, thanks for joining me here. on the international. ok, let's start with news of our sister project. this on t deutsch. youtube deleted 2 of our teas, german language channels. so i think alleged community guideline violations such bands and nothing new to our tea but this time. well, it smarts, because it said to be permanent rushes, media regulator has already weighed in and threatened g tubes, parent company, google the $14000.00 fine. if the aren't, the channels aren't allowed to broadcast again, a corresponding scope. jones. be in the studio with more on this list of all costs

and seeing what the notice of look. archie has been crying foul over unfair treatment on e t for for years. and the relationship between the platform and the network has been strained, especially in the recent years. but this is actually the 1st time when one of our aflac, she'd be 2 channels that was run by our colleagues in germany, rti. george is shut down completely. i mean, now not suspended, not shadow band, but completely shut down. this is new, this is truly an precedent that and you know, the popularity of r t among the german speaking audience has been grow in a recent years. just to give you some numbers, rti, george had a total of almost 547000000 views on its youtube channel, with 6 over 600000 subscribers and was among the top german news outlets on that platform. in june alone, our to george gathered over 21000000 views almost as much as

a bigger tv receive. one of the country spiegel is, one of the countries, you know, major media outlets that has been around for decades. so archie deutsch managed to put up a fight against major a german media outlets out there. and of course, this hasn't gone unnoticed. there's been a lot of german politicians who have repeatedly called for curves on rti in the country. and it's no secret that rti has been struggling to open a broadcast and television station in germany for years facing both hidden and over a resistance. so, you know, all in all it's been an extremely harsh and hostile environment for a fellow journalist in germany. permanent bounds just some serious wrong doing what, what was the crime? so what we know 1st r t 2, which is main youtube channel was given several code related stripes which

culminated in a temporary mentions. now we'll get back to this later, but now let me just explain how things unfold. it because they have their main youtube channel, stop shut down our t door, which is a team, decided to continue sharing content, but on their 2nd page that is, belong to one of their shows. just for the record, this was different content, not which not that which had been flagged by youtube as inappropriate, but nonetheless, both pages were deleted permanently without any warnings from youtube whatsoever. now what's interesting is that there are no clear rules saying that you cannot run the separate page or start a new one if you are suspended on need to for, for some reason. and again, our did origin republish any videos that they received a strikes for on that 2nd page. they just transferred some of the new stories,

general new stories to the 2nd page. and those were just regular. like i said, regular new stories. we know that our team, which has been covering a lot of protest against coven restoration. so lately it's a heated topic in germany and not a lot of mainstream german media outlets dare to give this topic a fair and fair and balanced coverage. so but it is what it is has. busy you cheap or any of its own is offered an explanation. just to clarify exactly what is happening. yeah, sure, but i mean, as usual, in these cases, the explanation is vague and you to send a message through our colleagues in germany saying that there were, quote repeated violations of community guidelines. and well, this is basically it get out of, of the platform at google, which owns youtube. we approached them and ask for clarification on that story. so

they gave us more details. let's have a listen to what they said. youtube has clear community guidelines which explained what is allowed on the platform r. t. doyle was issued a warning for uploading content that violates our rules in relation to covert 19 medical misinformation policy. this resulted in the suspension of their right to upload videos. during the suspension, the channels owners tried to bypass the restrictions by using a different channel. as a result, both channels were close, violating youtube tons of service. well, now it's the time to get back to those initial strikes that lead to this supposedly temporary suspension of our t. george may need to channel, as it just heard from google. it says that it has something to do with so called medical misinformation. well, we checked with our colleagues in germany, and they told us that there are 4 videos in question. and all of them contain

criticism of the government's approach of dealing with the pandemic voiced, and by journalists, but boys, by other medical experts in germany. and don't forget, our t deutsche didn't republish this, these videos on their 2nd channel, they just transferred some other content traffic to the 2nd page. and that's what they did. this is something they did in the past. it was okay. no consequences, no red flags from youtube. so they assumed that if they do this, this time around, it's going to be fine. well, it turned out that it's not, i mean, it was, it's a big part of the work that out the door does, you know, but the publishing the stories they cover on social media imagine that the company is not taken to this very kindly what's the l t reaction, been sure. so, you know, among the 1st who reacted to the story and russia was our own editor in chief margarita. see my now. and she said that what has just happened in germany amounts

to a declaration of media war on russia by germany. so let's listen to what she said. so this time they dented an attempt to circumvent the restrictions when we invited our audience to our 2nd channel. while our 1st channel was serving a santa's 1st far fetched violation of community guidelines, which was swept in us for airing interviews with critics of covered 19 measures. it wasn't the 1st sy when vital to our audience to our 2nd channel. but only today did they decide the band both at the same time. and the vector is terrorists and spacious of all kinds are quietly broadcasting on youtube. they have repeatedly said outright that they shadow banners and don't let us in. but this turned out to be not enough. we grew despite, they're not letting us in. now they've simply deleted us. this is a full fledged declaration of media war by germany to worth russia. russia's media watchdog common absorb, says deems youtube recent action in germany against art deutsche as an act of

censorship, which is unacceptable. and the organization also said that you to, in russia might face a fine up to you are 14 little less than $14000.00 us dollars. now rush us foreign ministry spokeswoman many of the heart of also weighed in by saying that this was an act of aggression against archie doors. and that there is going to be a symmetrical response directed at german media working in russia. the steven doesn't clarify what exactly that means, but i guess our german colleagues should be racing for the worse. okay, i appreciate the dates. i will stay with this story. many thanks, constantly springing a guess martin don't sir. is from the parliamentary for 72 link parties. let's bring him in the getting the see martin r t h e channel from what we've just been hearing. pretty popular with the german audience. had some good ratings, just wondering why you would get such

a very extreme treatment from a platform when you are actually one of the good customers. you would have thought yes, if you look at the case clearly and i'm a social scientist. so i try to see all the sites in that it's a clear case of political transition. you can see that russia today is respected by a large part of society as long channel and a strong democrat or a normal democracy should be able to handle different opinions and not to censorship. because in that say, in some kind of some, some areas, which was the enemy picture, for example, in the moment against russia and china is brought forward. so we can see that clearly as a part of a kind of propaganda war against russia and china. to my mind,

democrats, society, which german, he should be able to handle different opinions and youtube and google is american companies. and the companies as well should be able to handle different ideas and not to send some different opinions. and if you want society and people to be able to paint it and to be free and the decision while they want that there should be the possibility to abolish and to broadcast and to lead publish and to let broadcast different different broadcast us different media from different countries, for example, me, if i want to inform i have about a problem. i watch. i watch city f, d,

cnn, bbc, i just euro. and after all, i have a picture of the different ideas of different governments on different broadcasters, from different areas of the world. so i can build my own opinion and that is a strengths and youtube notarize to cancel the russian site. or idea of protection of different topics in society. this is some kind of altering their behavior and manner, which is not us for democracy. has broad construct, i'm sure no problem with somebody saying what you said isn't true, it's absolutely incorrect. and then the big repercussions for that, if nothing else, it actually helps broadcast to improve their standards. you have the likes of off come in the u. k. they can flag up things that broadcast is do that it just wrong

or offensive. they'll be an investigation. and they'll be transparency at any wrongdoing, will be explained. very different massa when you talking about some of these big tech companies, the social media platform, those kind of rules are opaque to start with and their explanation when people transgress those guidelines is also lacking. a lot of clarity and in this case we've talked about that there was misinformation itself, not a very clear word. so is it dangerous? when you have these essentially broadcasting platforms, the social media companies able to make the rules that nobody really understands and they don't hope to explain them. yes, if you look from the perspective of our democratic society should be built up to date. she has influence on what is legal and illegal and company shouldn't have too much influence. and at least if they want to keep the influence

on what it's broadcast that through their platforms, it should be with transparent roots and with rich room, with roots of equality towards all users of the platforms. and if we look at the power of some, especially social platforms like facebook or youtube, they have an amount of power which is nearly in control, uncontrolled by the different states and the world. of course, that is a problem because then a company starts to move directly and built that own legislation which is not fund demented in the democratic process. so of course this is a problem martin. thanks so much for your time. i guess not indulge from the parliamentarian for germany's dealing capacity. thank you very much. it doesn't use

a us marine officer who recently became known by the public to his criticism of washington handling of the afghanistan. pullouts is now 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 you 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 shared 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 he should've addresses 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 servicemen that were killed in an ice. his k terror attack on the 26th of august had capital airport and that he much that he had to speak out. and he gets 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 messed this up. i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever, but i am saying, did any of you? will you rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic barriers before we evacuate? everyone. i am submitting charges against general mckenzie for his bad assumptions now because i've been dated, but because the senior leaders need to be helped how to the same standard as us. 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 of them, including 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, he violated all manner of protocols and codes of the u. s. 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. all our son did 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 blow. 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 get his thoughts. nevertheless, what we have seen, his 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. the fact that the afghan army that we in our partner strain simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. i was there a couple times in 2006. i was there in 2011. i was there,

but i every time it got worse and get better. so it is going to be a surprise. isn't it true that you've left americans behind on august the 31st. there are americans, there were americans, there was still in enough grandstand and, you know, are, we can tell you work to try to get those americans out. yeah. that, that's a yes. let's, let's not repeat please. the frankly, false that we didn't leave americans behind. so in august we all witnessed the horror of praises own making for now mister shallow, who office 17 years of service, says he, he walked away from a 2000000 dollar 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 face military charges. meanwhile,

the international criminal court resuming a prob into war crimes enough can stand but the investigation will no longer look at allegations of us atrocities. instead, the focus is exclusively on the taliban and isis k. kellum open as the 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 stomach state correson, province and d. 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 weaker individuals or nations while giving western powers a pass. by d prioritizing, investigating us and former gun national security forces, the icpc prosecutor, it's shamefully handing him of 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 ended up 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 . we'll face charges in the hague, the law. 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 they 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 situations 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 and wondering if this isn't simply due to the fact that the u. s. a has been so harsh and placed sanctions on. i think the 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. anti war activist brian becker and human rights fluid done kovachick told us the decision makes a mockery of international law. us has a historically hostile attitude towards international court, unless those courts are paid for by the united states, like the special un tribunals and they can only prosecute those who have been

targeted by the united states, meaning us adversaries. so this isn't just this, these aren't real chords. this is just victor as justice. and other words are in the case of the afghan, is then even though the u. s. is the loser, was defeated on the battlefield by the taliban. it will be the taliban who will be brought to international court in 2018. 20. 19 the last 2 years of active engagement for the u. s. war. the u. s. drop 15000 bombs and missiles on afghan positions. a great number of them undoubtedly killed civilians. these are war crimes. these are violations of the geneva commit convention. they should be investigated. but obviously the kangaroo court here is a kangaroo court in the sense that it cow towing to us into british pressure. the u . s. bullying of the international criminal court did what it set out to do, and that was to get the us off the hook here. miss, that's

a terrible precedent. you know, the job of the icpc is to investigate crimes within these theaters. not to favor one party over another. and that's exactly what it's doing. what i and many other, you know, human rights advocates have been saying for years is that the i, c. c has been used as a tool by the west to punish developing countries. the only leaders successfully prosecuted by the i c. c. have been from african countries. what is this saying to the world saying to the world, if you are a week country, you can be subject to i cc prosecution. but if you are a strong economic and military power, like the us who can throw its weight around, you will be exempt from human rights prosecuting. basically, what we are left with is the law, the jungle, the might makes. right? and that is not what, how international law is supposed to work. it never was supposed to work that way.

new videos and merged casting doubts or recent media claims us border guards, allegedly whipped haitian migrants at the texas mexico border. the photographer he took with 30 said that the images of misconstrued and illnesses were only using the reins to control the horses. the story was covered extensively the media for a week. then the politicians also expressing the disgust is a recap of those initial reactions. how boys with their reins again with things like 3. so patients and to the water. what, how are we doing here? what we witness takes us back hundreds of years. what we witness was worse. ringback than what we witness slavery, the image of one agent appearing to use horse rains potentially as a whip. we saw that image of at least one border patrol agent using

a width effectively trying to last. so some of the migrants, you see that picture, their border patrol agents allegedly whipping haitian migrants as they tried to get into the united states. were you see children ducking out of the way horses charging migrants rains being used so on. you live as video again, it shows the incident from a different angle and you see an agent grabbing a migrant and turning around that towards the river. from this perspective, at least it doesn't look like anyone was width, and it's something corroborated by a photographer who was on the ground at the time. full run until he took many photos of what happened says he saw no one being hit with rains. some of the men are running right around the horses and that's kind of when the whole thing happened, i didn't number them with anybody with the thing he was swinging it, but i didn't see them actually take, you know, with someone who knows. that's something they can easily misconstrue when you're

looking at a picture. well, the number of news atlas is now correct to the version of events in your time says that the board regents were quote, waving the reins while pushing migrants back into the rio grande river. and here's the clarification from the passive tons our reporting team witnessed at least one agents on horseback swing his reins like a whip. we've updated the story to clarify that fact, since it was not an actual wip, legal and media. unless lionel says the american mainstream media hasn't done enough to correct the mistake in this country, we have mounted police, we love them, children, they're always in parades and in one fell swoop in one moment, the mounted police officer friendly when to these goals. and these, these, you know, the, these terror masters on there. steve's, i mean it's just, it's,

but it, par for the course is what we're used to, the american mainstream media. they have no interest in conveying the truth. they are aparadh checks, they are not reporters, they're repeaters, and they're there to push a narrative, whatever the narrative is. and also a very important point. there is misinformation, but there's also era and negligence, and perhaps malfeasance by omission. by not clarified by not explaining american news, media in particular can be the rest of the world is gagging. it's more of been it's it's, it's, it doesn't exist it's, it's almost criminal. and i'm going to go that far. it's criminal by what they're doing. hungary has slammed you gray and accusing key of, of trying to sink and natural gas steel between budapest and rushes gas from the hungarian forum. and this, this is the no amount of political maneuvering is more important than keeping

people's homes will. it's more your side, 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 the new 15 year deal will supply hunger within 5000000 cubic meters of gas. every year may be using an under see pipeline called took stream, which is not routed through your crime. the move then good key, which you said to lose money from the fee. it takes to allow the gas. so it's territory. both countries have already some, and each of the basset is over the deal. ukraine claims the agreement stands to favor of russia, not its own national interests. 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.
