i, the ah, crossing you choose the red line, the platform permanently of all to german language channels, but allegedly violating is community guidelines and all things ad thing tree call that a full fledged declaration of media will by germany on russia. the us marina sent him military prison after le boston, his country's leadership for the i've gone, it's gone, pull out the vancho in what had been a series of increasingly popular online v as the international criminal pools no longer it's you allocation of the us more crimes enough gone, it's prompting furious wines group. he's, he's the i c c o. being cowed by washington,

a sanctioning ah, you're watching the news and all the international with me. you nation along. hello and welcome to the program. and we start with news about our sister project o t do inch youtube has deleted 2 of us. he's german language channels, sizing, alleged community guidelines, while ations such as on utah fee by this time is said to be permanent, or shes media regulator has already waiting, threatening he troops, parent company, google with a 14000 dollars fine. if the all say channels aren't allowed to broadcast again on his constantino's cough told my colleague new harvey, what happened? you know, the popularity of r t in germany among the german speaking audience has been growing, especially in the recent years. and just to give you some numbers, rti, george had a total of almost $547000000.00 views, and over 600000 subscribers and not

a small youtube channel that placed it among the top german news channels on that platform. you know, in june alone, rti george gather over 21000000 views on that platform, which is almost as much as what speed to be received spiegel is one of the most credible and major news outlets in germany and which has been around for decades. so already, george has managed to put up a fight against major german news outlets. and of course, this hasn't gone unnoticed. there are a lot of politicians in germany who have repeatedly called for curbs on r t in in the country. and rti has been struggling to study tv broadcast in germany for many years, facing both overton hayden resistance. so all in all its been an extremely harsh environment, hostile environment for our fellow colleagues in germany. so these bands seem like cause treatment. what, what was the, the potential crime was committed?

well, as usual, in these cases, the response from a media platform is vague and youtube send our colleagues in germany, a message saying that there were a quote repeated violations of community guidelines. so, you know, that's it. you know, get out of the platform. google, which owns youtube, gave us a more detailed response. so let's have a listen. youtube has clear community guidelines which explain 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 closed, violating youtube tons of service. so to give you some con text, 1st archie george, his main youtube channel was given several code related strikes and that led to a temporary suspension. so because the main page was suspended,

its team decided to continue sharing its content on a different page that belongs to one of its shows. it was different content, not that which had been flagged by youtube, of course, but nonetheless, both pages were completely deleted by youtube without any warning. now what's interesting is that there are no clear rules saying that you can run a separate page or maybe even start a new page if you are suspended on youtube for whatever reason. besides those 4 videos and question that are 2 doors receive strikes for contained criticism of the government's approach of the pandemic voiced by other medical experts not by journalists. so to claim that this was medical mis information, misinterpretation, well, in the eyes of rt george, that's debatable. so is denying any wrong doing. is it challenging this spun while they're saying that they receive enough fair treatment?

and actually, 1st to comment on that story in russia with our own editor in chief, i'm going to get it to see my now. and then she said that was just happened in germany to rt george amounts to a declaration of war on russia by germany. let's hear what she actually said. so this time they did it an 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 to day did they decide the band both at the same time and effects, or is terrorists and spacious of all kinds are quietly broadcasting on youtube. they have repeatedly said, i'll try that a 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 seem deleted us. this is a full flash declaration of media war by germany towards russia. was just foreign ministry spokeswoman many of the hot also we didn't by saying that would just happen was an active aggression and that there's going to be

a symmetrical response directed at german media working in russia. now the message she had didn't clarify what exactly that means, but i guess her through my colleagues working here can be bracing for a bumpy road ahead and were discounts the bonds and the potential much behind them with martin dolts, a member of germans and a link of policy and political, honest patrick canning. so is a clear case of political transition, democratic society with german, he should be able to handle different opinions and your to me. and google is american companies. and the companies as well should be able to handle different ideas. and not to send law, some different opinions. this is some kind of altering behavior and manner, which is not worth for a democracy. there's 2 things going on here. one is just 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're locked in with various governments, mainly western governments. and they'll sort of use this overarching umbrella. it's just intentionally very vague. r t 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. nothing either us marine officer who recently became known

by the public of his criticism. washington's handling of the afghanistan pull out 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, let us shall i 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 heeded. others believe that he spoke out of turn 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 servicemen that were killed in an ice. his k, tara attack on the 26th of august had capital airport and that he much that he had to speak out to get the incompetence 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 air various before we evacuate everyone. i am submitting charges against general mckenzie for his bad assumptions. now, because i'm vindictive, 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, you 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 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 american c as a fiasco the final days of american present here in get 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 and our partner strained, simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise, and it would be just honest a 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 and enough to understand and you know, 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, the frankly false so that we didn't leave americans behind. so in august we all witnessed the horror of pres is own making for now, mr. shallow who, off the 17 years of service, says he, he walked away from a $2000000.00 pension and 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. when wiling,

national criminal court has renaming a probe into war crimes and i've got to stand on the investigation will no longer look at allegations of us atrocities. instead, the focus will be exclusively on the taliban and the ices k office. katie, milton, fixed on 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 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 we can 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 him up, 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 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. so and he walks his, brian becca and human rights lower down, cuz on like told us the decision makes and mockery of international law. you. i said, 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 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 chords in 201829900. 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's cow towering 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 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 the 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 prosecution. 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 match casting doubt on recent media claims that us border guards allegedly whipped haitian migrants of the texas mexico border. the photographer had to 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. and here's a quick recap of those initial reactions how boys with their reins again with things like people, 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 whitley could slavery, the image of one agent appearing to use horse reins 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 and i hear that news emerge should be there again, which shows the incidents from a different angle. you can say an agent grabbing a migrant and turning him round back towards the river from they suspected, at least it doesn't look like anybody's being whipped. that something cooperate to the bind photographer who was on the ground at the time. pull right here. he took many pictures or what happened, says he, so no one being hit with rings the haitian men are running right around the horses and that's kinda when the whole thing happened. i didn't number them with anybody. with the thing he was swinging it,

but i didn't see him actually take, you know, with someone who knows that something they can easily misconstrued. when you're looking at a picture, a number of news outlets have now corrected their version of events. the new york times. now says the board of agents were closed, waving the reins while pushing migraines back into the rio grande river. and here they clarification from the el paso times now 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 is not an actual whip legal on me that unless line or 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 parade. and in one fell swoop in one moment, the mounted police officer friendly when to these ghouls and these, these,

you know the terror masters on their steeds. 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're 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 can 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 has slammed ukraine and he's in cave of trying to think and natural

gas deal between budapest and russia. gas from the hunger and foreign minister says, 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 15 year deal will supply hungry with nearly 5000000 cubic meters of gas every year. mainly using an to see pipeline cold turk stream, which is not ready to 3 ukraine. the move has on good kid, which is said to lose money from the fee takes to allow the gas to pass through it . both countries have already summons each other than passes over the signing on the deal with ukraine, claiming the agreement stance to favor russia and noted. so 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. so for as far the cleverness as the gas deal was made purely for economic benefits, and there is no reason for what it calls an extreme reaction from ukraine. and i spoke to dr pierre and mano to man and your political expert. and he says the current tension is actually being driven from across the atlantic. from the old guy and point of view, they won secure or a supply of god on for most of european countries varies. no, i cannot chief to russian gas because isa geography cardi 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, and we would like to connect ukraine to. we are reorientation the infrastructure which will be nuts, more east, west about north, south and to supply reef. american shade. got so i think there is a much bigger game behind this communication wall. vehicle license plate route between server and call server that has now escalated into a military standard, shows no sign of abating native troops has boosted their presence along the causeway border. and the you and you have called on both sides to show restraint of correspondent bar is one of yours k 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 coastal and k for the needle forces in charge of keeping the peace in kosovo. k for his suggested to the mares, is that a key for troops actually replaced the special units called ross that were sent by bertina to remove the serbian license plates. but the mayors have refused this because it doesn't solve the issue the 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 coastal, while the serbian president alexander butcher himself, has remained silent today,

cancelling all of his meetings at the same time. a baby as prime minister has visited coast of all the proceed and sent the message. the belgrade should ease up on the tensions all. the people here that have been protesting serbs who live in the north. of course, civil are hoping that this will be resolved peacefully. they have been imposing barricades, hoping that this issue will be solved without any conflicts. sad that does not recognize it's form province of course, of a separate nation. always trying to impose official regulation such as those governing vehicle license plates course will unilaterally declared independence from said that back in 2008. that's almost a decade after the conflict between benee to the 2 sides and the nation intervention around half of you and member states have recognized cost of those independence. now police co unlist. nicola markovich told us that nato forces should not get involved in this latest flare up just one new crisis, as you've seen many, every, every in these past years. and this is not something actually renewed when deeper.

what is new is that, and we see again that in this situation for the 1st time, certainly got afraid. deflection muscle, that red line has been crossed. nato is responsible of this situation. if nato had not on illegally you've assario in 1989, we would not have the situation we do have in coastal mentor and serve. yes. so i think the fact that nato had not been capable of managing the situation which he created it. so it is definitely not a good idea to have nato forces, again, on, on, on the administrative border between central serbia and co civil. and it took here, but definitely western organizations have shown that they have failed, totally failed in the balcony. and they should of the nation staple, and probably maybe let the surgeons and albanians and countries from that region to the contrition between themselves 1st. that brings us up today, so they found up next 8th,

and use use hughes. ah, so much happening in paris actually they say are taking it all in geo politics. gone. birds are australia, friend the u. k. all battling it out. what appears to be a new york with me ah

ah ah, in the disaster we have dentist and under the microscope today as the chairman of the joint chiefs general loc millie and defense secretary lloyd austin, big the senate committee and they faced some tough questions on both sides of the aisle and the us marine officer who's rand plastic military leaders over dennison is now reportedly in jail. we'll discuss it off with our panel. president biden claims his multi trillion dollar build back better plan, actually costs nothing. and you've heard the president proclaimed to the rich that they need to pay their fair share of taxes biden. and his wife plants certain income in a place that would prevent it from paying their fair.
