manage the older america, native americans look past the death that happened every single day. this is a modern history of the usa america on our t the, the top headlines here when i see an russia it threatens to block you tube. off the video sharing platform permanently deleted ortiz and german language channel. and the russian foreign ministry itself stepped in saying the u. s. company wouldn't have acted without approval from berlin. the international criminal court and dropped the probe and the us war crimes and gone on to focus on a terrorist instead. meantime, rights groups condemned the move accusing the cc of paving into pressure. nato sends extra troops of cars were made. an om to stand up with serbia over road . we'll be hearing from a local correspondent at the scene,

but later in this program. also for my director, mike pom taylor refuses to confirm or deny of 2017 at mud logic as julian sons. but says that whatever happened, he's not sorry, although the current with helix boss says the revelation shows a soldier's life would be in danger. if he were to be sent to america, said he was groaned. the would be in the hands of those who were planning to kick. ah, well, it's a thought turned into the wednesday. your worldwide use headlines. welcome to the program. this is nancy international. russia has slammed you to for deleting ortiz, german language channels, over alleged community guidelines, violations the foreign ministry, believes the move could not have happened without the approval approval from that

of the german government rushers, media regulator is now threatening to block the us video sharing platform. the actions of the video platform youtube against those channels violate the key principles of free distribution of information and unhindered access to it. if the owners of youtube disregard the warning from russ kinetzer russian law allows for the full or partial blocking of access to the platform, there is no doubt that you tube was acting with the open and tacit support of the german government in taking these unjust measures they have exposed correspondents of russian broadcasters, 2 years long, harris met, including the blocking of bank accounts in public slander. the purpose of this aggression against the russian media holdings projects is obvious to drown out sources of information that clash with a media background that is comfortable for german official. earlier my colleague niel harvey discussed the whole story with archie correspondent, concertina ross, cough. you know, the popularity of art in germany among the german speaking audience has been grow.

and especially in the recent years. and just to give you some numbers, rti, george had a total of almost 547000000 views. and over 600000 subscribers had not a small you to channel that, placed it among the top german news channels on that platform. you know, in june alone rti, george gathered over $21000000.00 views on that platform, which is almost as much as what she goes to be received. nish, bagel, it's one of the most credible in the 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 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? well, as usual, in these cases, the response from a media platform is fake 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. all t doyce 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 some context, our 1st orthogeorgia is may need to channel was given several co,

it 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 war. and 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 question that rti doors to 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 rti, george, that's debatable. so is anti denying any wrong doing it challenging this man. while

they're saying that they received an unfair treatment and actually the 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 sad that was just happen in germany to rti george amounts to a declaration of war on russia by germany. let's hear what she actually said. so this time, they deemed 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 a far fetched violation of community guidelines, which was slapped enough for airing interviews with critics of coven 19 measures, it wasn't the 1st time we invited audience to our 2nd channel. but only today did they decide to ban both at the same time, anti faxes terrorists and fascists. of all kinds of quietly broadcasting on youtube . they have repeatedly said outright that they shadow by us 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

a media war by germany towards russia or just foreign ministry spokeswoman money is also we'd in 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. we discussed the, the potential motives behind the youtube band with, i guess, sand the long running issue, of course, claims of russian disinformation is a clear case of political transition, democratic society which 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 they're 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 just information is in the content which is being broadcast? and i think this situation is more or less a continuation of that. the international criminal court is resuming enough canister on war crimes prob, from now on the investigation will ignore allegations of any us wrong doing. and

i'm going to start instead of the only focus on the taliban and isis k militants, let's investigate the story now from new york with our te, scalable 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 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 we could, 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. 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 visa 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 itc 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. we spoke earlier to human rights lawyer, don co, violet who thinks the ccs decision actually 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. 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 at 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 weak country, you can be subject to i. c. c, 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. a feud between serbia and cause of overrode access shows no sign of abating nato

troops in kosovo have bolstered their presence right along the soviet border. and the e u commission president has called on both sides to show restraint. the current res intentions between possible and serbia is very concerning, is worrying. it is essential to lower the tension and to return to the dialogue. the escalation started earlier this month when caused a vote over the serbian drive as entering the region to obtain new license plates issued by pristine. and that led to protests by ethnic serbs in northern kosovo who blocked traffic to border crossings. because of our central top, it's police presence near the frontier while serbia has sent troops to the area. well, let's learn a little bit more in our cross live to local reporter board smaller go to skate. joining us here on our team international bores. a bit of a delay with transmission. hey, it'll be a few seconds before you hear me. but could you tell us more about the standoff between kosovo and serbia? and essentially, what is the situation right now?

well the pen standoff between belgrade and prestige and causal has everyone wondering whether the next war in the balkans will start over a license plate route serves here. have been protesting for the past 10 days against this license plate band, a ban on serbian license plates, imposed by the prestige authorities that call it reciprocal measures. but belgrade actually calls it a violation of the brussel agreement that was signed in 2013. and the violation of the basic human rights of serbs, the freedom of movement. also, as we know, has been as administered by the united nations as since 9099 after nato bomb serbia to take control of its southern province of call. civil that is declared independence in 2008, something that has not been recognized by about half of the world countries,

including russia and china, but much of the western countries consider constable an independent country. now serbia has sent its military forces to the administrative crossings of cosmo. and what makes this stand off different than the stand off in the past? is serbia as a parent readiness to flex its military muscle? they have called on pers tina to remove the license plate band while christina has called them belgrade to ease up on the tension. however, whether belgrade it's actually ready to use military force to protect the serbs in cost of all remains a question. i love a horse bonnet and borrow some while ago to sky joining us lie for one or 2. thank you for that to come to our hair on this channel a long and costly french anti terror operation in molly is unraveling with the 2 nations trading accusations, while russian contractors step in to fill the void. that story, and many more we are back in just as

i 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 a total defeat with smaller parties in the mix to form a new governing coalition. will this be called the merkel inheritance live in a try now, where we received so many inputs on a daily basis that are completely related to the allergy. so think about how in social media filters and they basically were present themselves very unrealistic way. and so we come to a fomo, there is and be involved more than that. it's about being sort of envious of something that may not exist. and it's also really tied to the fact that humans,

we want to be part of the crowd. join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then me the it is nearly 20 past here in the russian capital, former us secretary of state mike pompeo has refused to confirm or deny a report that the u. s. plotted to kill julian assange. although upon pay, i made it clear that whatever the trump administration did do he's 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. reporters without borders has joined an international outcry over the alleged plot against assange. it goes back to 2017. the press freedom organization said the reports corroborated not by multiple sources show that the wiki leaks found his life is still in danger, and he should be released apparently from a u. k. prison for his own safety. meanwhile, were helix editor in chief christians, ramson discussed the case in our program, going underground. you can watch all of that in full just a bit later in the day. many so stunning revelation is quite shocking to see that this was being in the, in the, in the state kits. nothing possibly killing. we had to wind up some of this before through the proceedings in spain, criminal proceedings against members of the security company. you see global who are supposed to be overseen julian associates curity in the u. s. embassy,

and the embassy actually will bribe try to ca, to spying on. julian provide it in life feeds from the cameras inside the embassy and through the devices that they implanted on top of that. of course, they were stealing legally prevalent material. and do 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 thrown into doubt. it should have a bearing and almost circumstance. and so there are 2 main reasons if julian is extradited to say, will be in the hands of it 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 a tool kit. when the discussions were going on,

there was no guide meant against julia. he hadn't been charged with anything. so if there was any doubt about 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 prawns has angrily denied that is abandoning molly despite the partial troop pull out after an 8 year anti terror campaign, the african nation that was looking for support elsewhere and is now turning to russian contractors as on his shoulder to basically investigate. it's a situation that going from bad to well disastrous folk and moly are at loggerheads operation volcano and security in the form a colony marley's prime minister has been clear that the operation has failed without the you and he went even further move. if he does need to send to button

the situation arising from the end of operation buck and puts molly in accompli bundling those mid flight to a certain extent. and it forces us to explore alternatives. i mean, to better ensure a security autonomy safely or with other partners so as to fill the gap that will certainly result from the withdrawal of back and in the north of the country. in the month up, i decree that lake 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 the hell, poli has also accused morally 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 authoration ball came french troops have been engaged on the ground since 2013 in afraid to fight your hardest group. but now, according to my call, that will be proof. i will lease 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 a hardest activity. whole situation in this herald is right now, not being addressed because you can't address it simply from a security standpoint. or last 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 are russian seems to have really not just problems, but also you the 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. a molly, is this the case of fearing that they are losing control and you know,

but if you could, could chestnut a huge way molly has approached russian private military companies. well, nothing to do with that go up. this is an activity that hasn't 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 the one number one superpower in the world. and they're attacking welsh in 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 teresa 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 moly, 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. so let's even sky policy, paris you video has emerge casting doubt on media claims that us border guards, whipped haitian migrants to the texas mexico border. a camera man who filmed some of the footage says it was misconstrued, and the officers were only using their reins to control their horses. is a quick recap of the initial reaction to this story. how boys with their rains again, with things like peaceful patience into the water. the image of one agent

appearing to use hoarse reins potentially as a whip. we saw that image of at least one border patrol agent using a width and was effectively trying to last. so some of the migrants see that picture, their border patrol agents allegedly whipping haitian migrants as they tried to get into the united states. so i show you another video which shows the same scene from a different angle. you can see an agent a directing a migrant back towards the river. from this perspective, at least it doesn't look like any body is being whipped. something corroborated by the photographer who was there and says, nobody was hit the haitian man for running brain. go 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 him actually take, you know, with someone who knows something they can easily misconstrued. when you're looking

at a picture, the number of a news outlets have since corrected their reports. the new york times now says the board of agents were close waving their reins while pushing migraines back into the rio grande river. well, here's the clarification from the 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 wip, legal and a media analyst line or things the whole scandal was whipped up by the media outlets with a very clear agenda 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 ghouls in these, these, you know, the, these 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 cheeks, 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 case b, the rest of the world is gagging. it's more of been, it's, it's, it, it doesn't exist. it, it's almost criminal. and i'm going to go that far. it's criminal by what they're doing. well that story and those pictures are there for your analysis if you like on line r t dot com right now for the meantime video wednesday will headlines return in half and ah,

when i will show the wrong one, i'll just don't need you to fill out this thing because the applicant and engagement equals the trail when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground in the .
