the in the a cool thing, you true, the red line, permanently bonds of german language channels for allegedly violating its communities in guidelines. everything pulled up a full flesh declaration of media will by germany on russia. marina sent 10 military prison after lum. don't think his country leadership for the gun is some pullout. deblanco has been a series of increasingly popular online that has been can national criminal court no longer a few allocations of us crimes. and i've done this dance pointing humorous wrong. it's for him to accuse the c field being cowed by washington. the sanction

ah, this is news and i can actually move you nation. hello and welcome to the ground. and with student with news about our project. on see, don't watch. youtube has deleted 2 of his german language channels, fighting alleged community guideline violations such bonds on neutrality. by this time it's set to be permanent versus media regulator has a way the way dane, threatening you troops, parent company, google with a $14000.00 fine in the aussie channels aren't allowed to broadcast again. i'll say constantine bush, gulf told my colleague, new hardy, what happened. rti 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 has 2 channels that is run by colleagues in germany or the door is shut down completely. i mean, now not suspended, not shed a band, but completely shut down. this is new, this is truly an precedent and you know, the popularity of our t among the german speaking audience has been grow in a recent years. just to give you some numbers. right. george had a total of almost $547000000.00 views on its youtube channel, with 6 over $600000.00 subscribers and was among the top german news outlets on that platform. in june alone, rti george gathered over 21000000 views almost as much as a spiegel tv receipt, one of the country speakers, one of the countries, you know, major media outlets that has been around for decades. so r t george managed to put up a fight against major 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 4 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 a year is facing both hidden and over a resistance. so, you know, all in all its been an extremely harsh and hostile environment for a fellow during journalist in germany, permanent bands just some serious, wrong doing what, what was the crime. so what we know 1st art, which is main youtube channel was given several co would related trice, which culminated in the temporary suspensions that will back to this later. but now let me just explain how things unfold. it because they have their main youtube channel. stop shut down r 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 contents, not which not that which had been flag by youtube as an appropriate, 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, are the doors in republish. any videos that they received a strikes for on that 2nd page. they just transferred some other 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 co restoration. so lately it's heated topic in germany,

in 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 youtube will 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 2 percent, a message to 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, have a listen to what they said. youtube has clear community guidelines which explain what is allowed on the platform. r t. doyce was issued a warning for floating content that violates our rules in relation to coven 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 to the time to get back to there was initial strikes that led to this, supposedly temporary suspension of rt torch may need to channel. as it just heard from google, it says that it has something to do with the so called medical misinformation where 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 that by journalist 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, here'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 reaction been sure, so you know, among the 1st who reacted to the story and russia was our own editor in chief margarita to my now. and she said that what has just happened in germany amounts to a declaration of media war on russia by germany. so lots allison to which he sat. so this time they did it and attempt to circumvent the restrictions when we invited our audience to our 2nd channel. while our 1st channel was serving

a sentence for far fetched violation of community guidelines, which were slept in us for airing interviews with critics, of course 19 measures. it wasn't the 1st time when i did our audience to our 2nd channel, but only today did they decide the band both at the same time and effects, or is terrorists and spacious of all kinds are quietly broadcasting on who to they have repeatedly set out, try 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 flash declaration of media war by germany towards russia. russia's media watchdog absorber says it deems youtube recent action in germany against our t george as an active censorship, which is unacceptable. and the organization also said that you to, in russia might face a fine up to 14 little less than $14000.00 us dollars. now rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman many of the heart of also weighed in by saying that this was an act of aggression against our 2 doors. and that there is going to be

a symmetrical response directed at german media working in russia. the stephen doesn't clarify what exactly that means, but i guess our german colleagues should be bracing for the worse and we discussed the bonds and the potential nighters for them with triplets co, unless patrick hanson, there's 2 things going on here. one is this, this idea of giving strikes for medical misinformation. this is something that you tube has begun doing since the beginning of the pandemic. and they are locked in with various governments, mainly western governments. and they'll sort of use this overarching umbrella. it's just intentionally very vague in order to basically delete channels. this is a tactic, this happened to, to us at the u. k column. they deleted a 9 year old channel because of medical misinformation. and they don't give any explanation or any details as to what that offending word or the offending

statement is. it's just a general arbitrary tactic that's used. and i think if you combine that with the political impetus of these governments, i'm talking mainly about the g 7 countries. ok, then you have it's using cove it as a kind of a opportunistic tactic to delete to sensor rti does media coverage which competes with are outcompetes, other english language channels and competitions. so, you know, this is really a credibility war between russia in the west, in the media space. and despite constant efforts by western countries, nato government to paint russian outlet says kremlin propaganda or russian disinformation at no time. can they ever demonstrate exactly where the disinformation is in the content which is being broadcast? and i think this situation is more or less a continuation of that. a us marine officer. her recently became known by

the public for his criticism. washington's handling of the i've got a sample out, have been sent a military person. left tenant, colonel stuart, 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, but you are shallow. 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. 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 much 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 barger airfield, the strategic berries. before we evacuate everyone, i am submitting charges against general mckenzie for his bad assumption. now, because i've been dated, but because the senior leaders need to be helped counselor 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 of them, including the 13 american troops killed in the terror attacked by isis k 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 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 presence for his parents . that was an act of courage on sunday 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 us 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 americans he is 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. the fact that the afghan army that we in our part restrained 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 there's 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 to understand and yell are we can tell you right. work to try to get those americans out. yeah. that, that's a yes. let's, let's not repeat please. the frankly fall so 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 has resuming a proven to war crimes and i've got to stop, but the investigation will no longer look at allegations of us atrocities. instead, the focus will be exclusively on the tongue about and i says k also is kind of more than picks up 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 said they won't be looking in the u . s. 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 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 weaker 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 hunting and 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 will face charges in the hague. the 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 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 and anti war activist brian becker and human rights law done . kovachick told us the decision makes and mockery. international law us as 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's justice. and other words are in the case of afghan, is then even though the u. s. and the loser was defeated on the battlefield by the taliban. it will be the taliban who will be brought to international chords in 2018 . 2019 the last 2 years of active engagement for the u. s. war. the u. s. dropped 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. the, you know, the job of the i, c. c 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 weak 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 you leave is a mash casting doubt on recent media claim that the us border guns allegedly width haitian migrants at the texas, mexico, texas, mexico border, the photographer who took the footage, said the images have been misconstrued, and the officers were only using their reins to control their horses. the story was covered extensively in the media for a week with many politicians, also expressing their disgust. here's a quick 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 than what we witnessed 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 with him 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 have that new measures here again, which shows the incident from a different angle. you can see an agent robbing a migrant and turning him around back towards the river. from this perspective, at least it doesn't look like anybody's being whipped. that's something corroborated by a photographer. who was on the ground at the time, paul was here, he took many pictures of what happened, says he, so no one being hit with rains. the haitian men are running, right. go around the horses and that's kind of when the whole thing happened. i

didn't understand with anybody with the thing he was swinging it, but i didn't see him actually take, you know, with someone who knows something they can easily misconstrued. when you're looking at a picture, number of news outlets have now corrected their version of, of, and stay in your claims. now says the board of agents will quote, waving their reins while pushing migraines back into the rio grande river. and he's, they clarification from el paso times 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 whip and a legal and neither unless line or has been american mainstream media haven't done enough to correct the era 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, tara masters on their steeds. i mean, it's just, it's, but it's par for the course. it's 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 mis information, but there's also era and negligence, and perhaps malfeasance by omission by not clarified by not explaining american news media in particular, i can't be the rest of the world is gagging. it's more of been it's, it's, it, 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 house land, ukraine, a keys and kia was trying to think a natural gas deal between budapest and russia's gas problem. the hungarian foreign minister says no amount of political maneuvering is more important than keeping people's homes war or 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 hungary with nearly 5000000 cubic meters of gas. happy yeah, mainly using an on the see pipeline cold tech stream, which is not routed through ukraine. the move has on good care, which is said to lose money from the c takes to allow the gas to pass through it. both countries have already someone to each other's ambassadors over the signing of the deal with ukraine, claiming the agreement stance to favor russia and know 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 as far as the kremlin says, the gas deal was made purely for economic benefits. and there is no reason for wanting to cause an extreme reaction from ukraine. and earlier we spoke to dr. pier monona, altamont, and triple co expert. he says the current tensions are actually being driven from across the atlantic from the old guy and point of view, they won secure, or a supply of gods on for most of european countries varies. no, i cannot achieve 2 russian gods because each geography cordy, quite or near near neighborhood and also is cheap through are gas pipelines. but we know,

but behind this dispute ukraine is playing the american game because the ukrainian consider as a pi geopolitical pilot from united states to try to we can russia and the united states to push ukraine or against russia, policies and also to promote its own no or own shale gas, and we would like to connect ukraine to we are reorientation the infrastructure, which would, would be nuts, more east, west about north south on to supply reef, american shale gas. so i think there is a much bigger game behind this communication war. and have a license plate route between 7 and call server that has now escalated into a military standoff, shows no sign of abating native troops has boosted their presence along the course of a border and the you and you have called on both sides to show restraint correspondent,

mores, while ago came reports now from the border. so i am currently here at the administrative crossing between central serbia and coastal. it's been a tough day and negotiations between the mayors in the serbia municipalities in the north of constable and k, for the nato forces in charge of keeping the peace in coastal k for his suggested to the mares. is that a key for troops actually replaced the special units called ross who that were sent by pristina to remove the serbian license plates. but the mares have refused this because it doesn't solve the issue that cause the crisis. it doesn't solve the fact that they would still be removing serbian license plate services in protesting for the past 9 days. saying that this is a violation of the brussels agreement and that they are restricting freedom of movement of serbs in the province. the way they see it, a serbia has sent military forces, a tanks armored vehicles to the region around the administrative crossings with

coast civil. while the serbian president, alexander boot himself, has remained silent today, cancelling all of his meetings. at the same time, a benny as prime minister has visited possible that a proceed. i sent the message, the belgrade should ease up on the attention of people here that have been protesting, serves who live in the north of coastal are hoping that this will be resolved peacefully. they have been imposing barricades, hoping that this issue will be solved without any conflicts. so sad, there does not recognize its former province, of course, as a separate nation, always try to impose official regulation, such as those governing vehicle license plate. so causal, you naturally declared independence from serbia back in 2008. that's almost a decade out of the conflict between the 2 sides. a native intervention around half of you on member states have recognized course of those independence. now political unless chris bomb breeze concerns the situation could easily deteriorate further it is as always.
