kaiser's financials to live with. no money. there's a girl. i want to be the central pug support. don't call them. i know they stopped the top headlines with it's all here. when i see a us marine is sent to a military j o off that thing. his government handling of the kindest on pull out in a series of viral videos, the critics say he's being punished for asking vital questions. nobody was really stepping up to the plate. the tenant colonel seller decided to be the 1st one to come public and criticize leadership and youtube removed off these german language channels for allegedly violating the platforms community guidelines . the editor in chief quarter of a fully fledged declaration of a media war on russia also form i. c, i,

a director of mike from peo refuses to confirm or deny a 2017 murder plot against julian a sons, but says that whatever happened, he's not sorry, although the current of wikileaks boss says the revelation shows a sanchez life would be in danger. if he was sent to america, fate was ground would be in the hands of those who were planning to finally, france rejects what it calls in decent claims from molly, that it's a band in the country by withdrawing troops. while the african nation turns to russian contractors to help the fight against tara, ah, well, we're just getting warmed up here at the international and already an action packed program for you today. welcome to it. i'm ro receive a us marine at known for his outspoken criticism of the us, pull out from

a gun. s. dawn has been sent to a military prison. stewart shallow lieutenant colonel of the us marines was relieved of his command after a series of videos on line, flagging multiple failures and the gun draw down and branding at a humiliation for the us. shallow says he couldn't stay silent after serving in the military for 17 years and losing colleagues in the recent cobble airport, suicide bombing. people are upset because they're 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 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 a guest general mackenzie 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 the

marine has been accused of violating several us laws. it is forbidden, for example, for a service men of publicly criticize superior officers or the government. now the officers faith is not yet clear that several charges are being considered. 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 kennel shallow will be afforded. oh, due process, the will generals in the sector and everybody else. they see him as a threat, so they need it. they need to shut him up. joe, what did they do? they gave him a gag order right now. now he's going to go to the break. now he's facing charges. and i personally think that they're also trying to make an example of him and showing the world. okay. if you're going to do this, if you're going to speak out against us, we're gonna, we're going to hit hard and you're probably going to phase military prison,

which is unfortunately, that looks like it's shallow. his parents are standing by his actions saying all that son did was ask the questions that everyone else has been asking specifically about the apparent lack of planning of the african withdrawal and why many americans were left behind. meanwhile, top generals have been forced to answer those very same questions in congress. 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 dishonest to claim otherwise. i was there a couple times in 2006. i was there in 2011. i was there, but every time it got worse, it 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 were still in enough dentistry. and yet are we continue to work to try to nobody was manning up to a nobody was on the disaster. they're just trying to make it go away. nobody raised

their hand in hand and said this is on me. and they're just trying to sweep it under the rug and distract, distract, struck, and move on to the next thing. and nothing was being done about it. so after the whole incident occurred, a week or so passed and nobody said anything. and then now lieutenant colonel sheller made that, made that video on his laptop and all he did, he didn't ask for anything completely unreasonable. all i did was he asked for accountability and he asked for answers. and in the military accountability is a major thing. when you're scheduling a major evacuation of a country you've been in for 20 years, there is no excuse to not be on the same page. there's no excuse to come up with an effective bullet proof plan to evacuate successfully. there's another thing in the military called leave. no man behind the matter. also another thing we did,

we left hundreds of americans behind. so since nobody was really stepping up to the plate, the tenant colonel sheller decided to be the 1st one to come public and criticize leadership. i don't, i think i'm still the come in the program here. one of the international criminal court dropped a probe and the us war crime, jonathan, and instead will focus on terra group more of that in just a moment. now, you tube has deleted ortiz, german language channels, citing alleged community guideline violations, and rushes. media regulator has weight in threatening youtube, the parent company, google with a fine if the band is not reversed, cause it in ross scoff. describe the story discussed it earlier with my colleague, neil harvey. 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 doors had

a total of almost 547000000 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 spiegel tv received. nashville is one of the most credible in the major news outlets in germany and which has been around for decades . so our d, george has managed to put up a fight against major german news outlet. 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 over it and 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 was the, the potential crime was committed while, as usual, in these cases, the response from a media platform is fake. and youtube send our colleagues in germany message saying that there were, 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 or t. joyce was issued a warning for uploading 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. so to give some context, 1st party george, his main youtube channel was given several co 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 voice 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 he denying any wrong doing? is it challenging this man?

while they're saying that they receive an unfair treatment and will actually 1st 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 happen in germany, the rti george amounts to a declaration of war on russia by germany. let's hear what she actually said. 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 eric interviews with critics. of course, 19 measures. it wasn't the 1st i went by to our audience to our 2nd channel, but only to day did they decide the band both at the same time and to vex, or 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 simply didn't us. this is a full fledged declaration of media war by germany to worth russia purchased.

foreign ministry spokeswoman, many of the hot, also waited in by saying that would just happen was an active aggression. and that there is 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. we discussed the potential motors behind the youtube band with our guests, and also the issue of the long running claims of russian disinformation is a clear case of political transition. democratic society with german he is, should be able to handle different opinions and you, what you meant. 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 and manner

which is not worth for a democracy. 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 there are locked in with various governments, mainly western governments. 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. former us secretary of state, my palm pay has refused to confirm or deny a report that the us plotted to kill julian assange or upon payer made it clear that whatever the trumpet amendment at the trial ministration did was upon peo,

is not sorry. i couldn't tell you who they have is their sources, but the sources didn't know what we were doing. i make no apologies for the fact that we and the administration were working diligently to make sure we were able to protect this important sensitive information from whether it was cyber in russia or the chinese military. or anyone who was trying to take this information away from us, or voters without borders, has joined an international outcry over the alleged plot against assange dating back to 2017. the press freedom organization said the reports now corroborated by multiple sources show that the helix found as life is still in danger, and he should be released from a u. k. prison for his own safety. meanwhile, we can lease editor in chief, kristen. samson discussed the case in our program going on the ground. you can watch a full episode a bit later in the day. many so stunning revelation is quite shocking to see, let this be in confidence in the, in the, in the state. so kids, nothing and possibly killing. we had to wind up some of this before. the

proceedings in that spain criminal proceedings against members of the security company. you see global who are supposed to be overseeing julian associates, curity in the u. s. embassy in the embassy, but actually were bribed to, to ca, to spying on julian, provide it in life feeds from the cameras inside the embassy and 2 devices that they planted on top of that, of course, they were stealing legally privileged material. and you think this article will help to make the case even more clearer, that genius on should be freed at the end of october at his hearing immediately. given that the whole process is being turned into doubt. it should have a bearing in any circumstances. so there are 2 main reasons. if julian is expedited to the states, it will be in the hands of the c h to, to decide whether he is put under so called sam spectral administrative measures,

which is another word for 12 to an isolation is fade on the ground would be in the hands of those who were planning to kill him when these discussions were going on, there was no engagement out against him. he hadn't been charged with anything. so if there was any doubt the political nature of the indictment and the creation of the entire case, it is now confirmed to be so it is a political persecution and nothing else. franz has angrily denied its abandoning marley despite a partial troop pullout after an 8 year anti terror campaign or the african nation though was looking for support elsewhere. now, turning to russian contractors, i thought he'd surely do. whisky now investigates. it's a situation that's going from bad to well disastrous for a moly. alright,

loggerheads operation ball cain and security in the form a colony marley's prime minister has been clear that the operation has failed. but the un he went even further. he does need to laugh and button the situation arising from the end of operation buck and puts molly in a fee accompli abandoning those mid flight to a certain extent. and it forces us to explore alternatives. a means to better ensure our security atomically or with other partners. so as to fill the gap that will certainly result from the withdrawal of buck and in the north of the country, mounted up a decree that let a fire under the french armed forces minister us, it's a lot of, he parker see, it's a lot of bad faith, a lot of indecency, especially because these comments were made on saturday, september 25th, but on friday, september 24th. if, if the 2nd french soldier gave his life fighting terrorism in this hell. poly has

also accused molly of provoking a storm because of an inability to keep a commitment to return power following a military coup to civilians. next year. i have the impression that the date does not see them perfectly. and that they want to prolong the things. but from wanting that to wiping his feet on the blood of french soldiers, it's an acceptable for molly's paul. is real concerned about the future. earlier this year, president my call now the end of opperation ball came french troops have been engaged on the ground since 2013 in a be to fight your heart is groups. but now, according to my call, that will be prof. i will be changed with the closure of french army bases, the withdrawal of more than 2000 soldiers that lead to fears molly could see

a search into hardest activity. whole situation in this a hell is right now, not being addressed because you can't address it simply from a security standpoint. but aware of 1012 years molly is gone to one destabilization after another is not going to be resolved by military deployment by the french or anyone else to say how is suffering a massive economic under development deserts open space. and in the open space is that the terrorist and others live and deploy for my 1st work out how it's going to fight against such threats. it's turning the idea of using private companies in a been to sure up security. however, the fact that these companies or russian seems to have really looked at chrome, but also you, they certainly could seriously affect you to be in union relations with

molly. so why all the you in front, so concerned about international security measures in molly, is this jeff the case of hearing that they are losing control? and you know, but if you could just let us use the way mother has approached rash and private military companies, we have nothing to do with this. this is an activity that has been carried out legitimately where it is killing itself and is now has less and less leverage in africa. they're making africa part of the geo political doctrine of remaining this to one number one superpower in the world. and they're attacking washington, china. so they're the ones that are actually danny development because of their geopolitical view of russia in china. and that's the mistake china. he's never going to be put back in the box. they're all over africa and african countries more

and more terrain to china because they also. ringback it is ration ball came, was supposed to have produced that your hardest right across the saw how region, which includes molly inside the us state department reporters previously suggested that attacks of actually increased 250 percent since 2018 quite simply. it's not working, and frogs is acutely aware of this, hence, to some degree, that's why it's stepping back. but in doing so, it seems incapable of allowing others to fill the void instead it thrashing out and possibly permanently damaging its african toys. show it to you, been ski policy, paris still to come here on the program on t. nato has wrapped up its military presence on the coast of serbia border years, although new conflict would hear from correspondence at the same

ah, as anglo merkel makes her exit from german politics, voters have made it clear. they are looking for new ideas and directions. wrinkles party suffered total defeat with smaller parties in the mix to form a new governing coalition. will there be called the merkel inheritance? ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way?

where are you being somewhere which direction? what is truth? what is faith? in a world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, use the good to be with us for this program here will not see the international criminal court his resuming, and i've gotten us on war crimes prob, but from now on the investigation will ignore any allegations of us wrong during and will focus only on the taliban and isis k minutes. in new york countries, kellum often 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 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 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 gun 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 . we'll face charges in the hague. busy busy

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 prosecutors simply wants to avoid having his own name on the sanctions list. human rights lawyer, don kovachick things. the ccs decision makes a mockery of international law. 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. the 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? it's saying to the world. if you are a week country, you can be subject to itc prosecution. but if you are a strong economic and military power, like the u. s, who can throw its weight around, you will be exempt from human rights prosecution. basically what we're 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. a feud between serbia and cause of overrode access shows no sign of abating and nato troops have boosted that presence along the cause of o. so be a border as the you and us have called on both sides to show restraint. a local reporter, boris molly. go to ski reports from the frontier. 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 nato 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 per stina to remove the serbian license plates. but the mayors 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. 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 benny as prime minister has visited coast of all that a proceed. i sent a message, the belgrade should ease up on the tension on people here that have been protesting,

serves 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, cause of unilaterally declared his independence from serbia back in 2008, almost a decade after a devastating conflict under nato intervention. but around half of un member states, including several e u members have refused to recognize cause as a country, political analyst and nichol markovich things. because i've always been emboldened by foreign support. just one new crisis, as you've seen many every, every these past years. and this is not something actually renewed when deeper. what is new, is that and again, that in this situation for the 1st time, serbia is not afraid to muscle and show that a red line has been crossed. nato is responsible of this situation. if nato had not bomb illegally us aria in $999.00,

we would not have pen situation. we do have in kosovo, montague, and service. so i think the fact that nato had not been capable of managing the situation which he created. so it is definitely not a good idea to have nato forces, again, on, on, on the administrative border between central serbia and kosovo. antonia, but then the western organizations have shown that they have failed, totally failed in the balcony. and they should a nation state over and probably maybe let the surgeons and albanians and countries from that region to the situation between themselves. for as you know, there's more of this potential start off online right now at auto dot com. lots of your wednesday, both headlines told her come here on this channel a busy day already at half past 9 in the morning. here at moscow we are back at the top of the hour. ah.
