anything. this president says about afghanistan, us lawmakers lambaste president biden, and his top brass, i, what some in congress are calling washington humiliating withdrawal from afghanistan. we asked though, if the whole afghan campaign might be a bigger failure and just the policy itself. and also this, our human rights group, the right raged, is the international criminal court decides to d, prioritize us war crimes in afghanistan, in ex resumed investigation. we hear from a man who lost time relatives knew us strange drive in couple. at the end of all of the all new i will keep demanding that each person who has committed a crime here must be convicted and punished. if americans committed a crime, they must be brought to justice, they should be held to account of not others. ah

hello, they welcome the latest developments to look at what's been happening over the last 7 days to you watching the weekly here on our t international. now this week, it was revealed that the cia plotted to kidnap or assassinate wikileaks found a julian assange while he was in the ecuadorian embassy in london. the u. s. media report was based on statements from 30 former u. s. officials incented on mike pompei o, while he was director of the agency during the time donald trump was empower. will pompeo has denied the accusations, but once action taken against those who made them, or they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the central intelligence agency, maybe they didn't, maybe as the cap just made it up. but you should, i take seriously my responsibilities to protect that information. this can be seen as pompoms confirmation of the assange kit, not or kill story. why else would you want to prosecute those sources? speaking about classified activity kidnapped ariel man hunt and shootout with

russian spies in central london. the new james bond movie. not exactly. in fact, these are the highlights from a reported cia secret plan to silence the journalist already who revealed american for dirty secrets of location. london, the year 2017 starring julian. a sorry man of intra heidi ecuadorian embassy. might compel. then c. i achieve evil mastermind behind the operation. the russkies. the essential ingredient for any good spice dory. doubtless ya would break every possible law to silence independent journalist. stay to the upcoming details, may surprise you. we are rewarding chapter one assassination. my compared wanted the cia to recreate the instructor, subordinates not to self censor themselves. when it comes to dealing wiki links,

sometimes, oh tricks work best they might have thought and came up with a good old assassination plot. detailed sketches options on how to murder sounds, reportedly with disgust in the whiteness on the highest possible level. why would a cia achieve plots of the killing of an independent journalist? well, it was an act of personal vendetta. back in march 2017, the newly appointed cia chief found himself in a very difficult position. when wikileaks released top secret c, i a papers. they were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about vault 7. they were seen blood chapter to kidnapping. but somebody in the white house might have thought paid, no killings where a civilized nation. let's kidnap this journalist and sentenced him to death by american law. the plan was simply break into the embassy drag assange out and bring

him to where we want one small issue. the u. s. justice department failed to keep up with cia fantasies. they were still processing the case and didn't file charges against the wikileaks founda. so the cia was going to kidnap a foreign citizen from the capital of washington's closest ally with no legal basis tool. a perfect master black deed. you could possibly spoil the fun russians of course, chapter 3 fighting russians. what if vladimir putin intelligence gets there 1st, a dunce assange, and then flies him to moscow? that's a possibility. the paranoid ca offices thought brace yourself, the plans accounts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left nothing to chance. the sand gets into the car with the russian operatives. a cia initiates a car crash with the russian diplomatic vehicle. god knows how many other londoners

collateral damage is. they say assange gets on the plane. the cia blocks is on the runway by shooting its tires, as well as anything. and anybody else in the way the plane takes off with a flat tire. the cia hub is a helicopter over, it still manages to leave the ground. they demand the european countries close their recipes. we are still talking about catching julian a, sorry, not the number one, terrorist. oh, well, if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american governments pass the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. rule of law may not surprise you. while jillian assigned remains in a maximum security prison in the u. k, despite a british judge there ruling against her, his extradition to the united states over fears about his mental health. he does face a 175 years in prison in america,

where he's wanted on charges of hacking and espionage in 20. 19 assange was forcibly removed, though by police from the exit, or an embassy in london after the country terminated his 7 year asylum there were following the recent developments we heard from former c i a analyst and whistleblower john cardiac, and also the wikileaks editor. ensure in chief kristin her absence. when you so stunning, revelation is quite shocking. conseula. this was being conquered, cousins in the states, so the kidnapping them, graham, possibly killing. if julian is expedited to to the other states, it will be in the hands of the seo his faith on yours ground. it would be in the hands of those who were planning to kick up, killing him. when these discussions were going on, there was no indictment out 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 day when an entire case, it is now on for him to be so it is

a political persecution and nothing else. the world to understand that the united states is trying to criminalize journalism. they refused to accept the fact that julian assigned is a journalist, that the american people own this information and they have the right to know what it is. and that the government behind their backs, the backs of the american people, is trying to assassinate someone who has not been kid victim of a crime. in one of the things that we learned in this article was dad, the british intelligence service, the external intelligence service, and my sex was apparently involved, you know, where they were talking about, shoot out the potential pursued outs in front of the ecuadorian embassy. that was the british that were supposed to be doing this shooting when they talked about shooting out the, the tires of a russian plane that might have been taking jillian assigned to, to russia. that was the british that were supposed to be doing the shooting. so i

would certainly hope that the british courts finally say enough is enough. there is no way that julian assigns should or could be extradited to the united states, and he should be free to go that russia is threatening to blow king chain. that after the video sharing service deleted artes, german language channels for allegedly breaching community guidelines. moscow described the move, though, is an active, unprecedented information aggression. the russian foreign minister saying that the measures against r t could not have been taken without berlin's approval. there is no doubt that youtube was acting with the open and tacit support of the german government and taking these unjust measures. they have exposed correspondence of russian broadcasters to years long harassment, including the blocking of bank accounts and 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 officialdom. well, the german government has denied the allegations early at new harvey space, while correspondent constantine thrush cove, about the ban and the possible knock on effects. or, you know, the popularity of r t in germany among the germans speaking audience has been growing, especially in the recent years. and just to give you some numbers. artie doors 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. so artie dodge has managed to put up a fight against major german news outlets. and of course this hasn't gone unnoticed . odd, there are a lot of politicians in germany who have repeatedly called for curves on our tea in a in the country. and rti has been struggling to start a teeny broadcast in germany for, for many years, facing both overton hayden resistance. so all in all is been an extremely harsh

environment. hostile environment for our fellow colleagues in germany. so these bands seem like cost treatment, what, what was the, the potential crime that was committed while as usual in these cases, the response from a media platform is vague and ye tube send our colleagues and germany message saying that there were, quote repeated violations of community guideline, so you know, that's it, you get out of the platform. google, which owns you tube i gave is a more detailed response. so let's have a listen ye cheap has clear community guidelines which explain what is allowed on the platform. all t deutsche 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 closed, violating you cheaper terms of service. so to give you some context are 1st archie

george, his main youtube channel law was given several, whoa would related strikes and that led to a temporary suspension. so because the main page was suspended, its team decided to continue sharing his content on a different page that belongs to one of its r shows. ah, it was different content. ah, 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 rti doors receive stripes for a contained criticism of the government's approach of the pandemic voiced by other medical experts, not by journalists so ah, to claim that this was medical. a miss information, misinterpretation. well,

in the eyes of archie george that saw debatable. so is aunty denying in the wrong doings it challenging this book. while they're saying that they receive an unfair treatment. and actually the 1st to common on that story in russia was our own editor in chief museum, co deletes for several months before channels were banned. the german media had been publishing scare stories about r t, german becoming too influential to significant according to their own calculations . where ranked forth in terms of influence in germany were bigger than, well were bigger than germany's own chinese. like don't you? well, no one expected that. of course, we also didn't expect that to happen so quickly. i mean that would attract so big an audience, have so much success. they made us out to be a bogeyman. they refused to give us a license. they forbade banks for working with us. they pressured luxembourg, so we couldn't get a license there. and when all that didn't work, they deleted us from youtube using the far fetched pretext that was predictable because no normal person believes that freedom of speech exists in this countries.

the question is how we rush respond where it looking forward to it or just for ministry spokeswoman mighty as a harder while also weighed in by saying that would just happen. ah, was an act of aggression and that there is going to be a symmetrical response directed at german media work in, in russia. now the message she didn't clarify what exactly that means, but i guess her art driven colleagues working here should be bracing for a bumpy road ahead. but we also got the thoughts on this a of alexander ne, from jim these left party know, safely them a who is a cd, you, politician. they say it is a step backwards for press freedom in europe. does this in oh, clearly this situation does not with european freedom in a positive light. we have to acknowledge to deny mediaspace has been subject to censorship and manipulation, which reminds me of the worst times in germany. it's in our interests for our see to make an even greater contribution to german and european media diversity. as

i've said before, r t has become an integral component of european press freedom. we as citizens have the right to be informed and have access to high quality journalists, regardless of its origin. fitness, you know, i considered it a challenging situation that now the russian point of view, public, or political, is being more and more suppressed. archie deutsch does not have a particularly good reputation in germany, not with readers, but rather among their colleagues. they don't like our tea deutsche, because it has broken their monopoly and the dictate of opinion in german journalists and journalists who practice journalism that praises the authorities. instead of critical journalists do not like such competition. they don't like it that a mirror has been put in front of them in which they can see what they really should be doing. thou, after chaotic scenes in the u. k. this week, some pet 4 stations there is still dry despite the fuel crisis easing britain. so massive keys and for courts across the country with frustrated drivers, sometimes even resorting to violence. p drive boy,

the very old playing very loud. you okay, i'm ready. one then got you as you can see, tension then at the pumps has been pretty intense this week. the massive keys in panic buying kicked off after oil firm b. p did warn it would have to temporarily close some of its petrol stations. g to a lack of laurie drive is needed to deliver fuel supplies and u. k. government now intends to bring in the army to help deliver fuel from monday when he is a reminder of how the crisis took help. ah many you work us you worked inside the u. k. left new dr. a. did not enter our peer

. professional. bish, all came together in the supply chain temp the stops. ah the government for more than anything the government isn't making the 2nd to be honest with anything marriage, you've taken us 10 years back. so confidence interval. there's always a plan b, y loose a day. so can you please relieve don't know what's in the next level. what is the next stage with a leash, the potential of the entire people of this country. ah,

fish offering a piece i showed temper is totally no strategic strategy to solve the issue in the in the street. and this will not be shocked way, pending alti 1000 feet. if no place for you strategic action is taken, it will also only become more worse still to come on. the weekly us low mike, his slam president biden, and his top military brass, i with a humiliating afghanistan withdrawal. but we asked the whole half can campaign, could be seen as a much bigger failure to come in with ah, ah,

join me every 1st bit on the alex simon. sure. when i'll be speaking the yes, when the world politics sport business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then ah ah,

hello again i this week, so tough talks in congress is us lawmakers lashed at joe biden and his top military commanders over the afghanistan withdrawal. the biden administration has received a lot of flak. i with this recently with some calling the polite humiliating for washington. well, here are just some of the accusations that were fired at the president and his team . the president said, none of his commanders said that he should keep troops in afghanistan was on a false statement by the president. yes. remember, you do not have a duty to cover for the president when he's not telling the truth. i've given you my judgment on it. now we think we all know it was a false faith. i have been frustrated by the lack of someone in charge on the biggest national security fiasco in a generation. there has been 0 accountability, no responsibility from anybody. we have poured cash and blood and credibility

into a ghani government. that was a mirage. it fell immediately. we were buying it at the big lot. the big law that this, that this was ever going to be successful near. here's the thing. there's only 3 possibilities here. either the president lie to the american people, or he legitimately cannot remember the counsel of his top military advisors in winding down the longest war in american history or you have not been fully accurate under oath. we didn't have a president that was so adult. you all would be fired when it's not just the polite though that's being attacked. the entire afghan campaign is now coming in for increasing criticism. is kind of mopping. explains a testimony before congress was dancing. not only was the pull out of afghanistan, a fiasco, but the campaign failed to achieve its primary aim. it was an extraordinary disaster. it will go down in history, is one of the greatest failures of american leadership. we have 0 presence in afghanistan. it could be as little as 12 months before al kato will use afghanistan

as a base conduct as a base to conduct airstrikes or strikes against united states. frankly, after this debacle of a withdrawal. i don't think anyone control anything this president says about afghanistan. we need to consider some uncomfortable truce that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership and their senior ranks. that we did not grasp the damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders. and that we fail to fully grasp why there was only so much for which and for home. many of the afghan forces would fight. so after an entire war aimed to eliminate a terrorist threat to america, that threat could now be worse to real possibility in the not too distant future, 612182436 months that time the time frame for re constitution about kite are isis terrorist organizations seek ungoverned spaces so that they can train and equip and

thrive. and there is clearly a possibility that that can happen. here are going forward. afghanistan in effect now has become an entire terrace state taliban, even though they may think that they're trying to govern that place itself to slit and already we're seeing isis attacking caliber and there's no guarantee then that taliban can ensure that the attacks will not be planned. and launched from that from afghanistan, thought there were more revelations in the testimony, apparently behind closed doors. the biden administration was more divided on afghanistan. i think a while we've, it's conceivable that you, you could stay there. my view was that you would have had to deploy more forces in order to protect ourselves and accomplish any mission that we would have been assigned. it appears that the department of defense was not fully on board with pulling out of afghanistan. and they are arguing for maintaining some presence in

the country. my view was that we needed to maintain about 2500. and that we also needed to work with our coalition partners. we had about 6000 troops and there nato and other core countries that would, that would remain there. this flies in the face of the biden administration's claim that pulling out was the unanimous decision. it's unclear what would really change if the united states stayed in the country. it has been 20 years after all, and the security situation in afghanistan has not improved. so maybe the mistake wasn't pulling out in 2021, but rather going in in 2001. now that's a discussion you won't hear on capitol hill, but it's probably taking place in many american minds for officials on capitol hill to attribute that. so way to the somewhat chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan is completely absurd. if the u. s. officials had dealt with these crime

on september the 11th as what they were and found out who was responsible and brought them to justice. and, you know, this would have been, you know, at this point something that just something that happened 20 years ago. that was dealt with instead, they used september the 11th as a pretext for 20 years of war. what the so called war on terror was doing was fueling tech terrorism. and the adjacent armed resistance in country after country the united states has, has actually increased risk of terrorism. meanwhile, human rights groups a fuming over a decision by the international criminal court to resume a prob, into war crimes in afghanistan, but no longer look at allegations of american atrocities. there. instead, the focus will be exclusively on the taliban and isis k. i has therefore decided to

focus my offices investigations in afghanistan on crimes allegedly committed by the taliban, and the as i mixed 8 correson province and to de prioritize other aspects of this investigation. where this does come as washington face is outrage over a wrongful drain strike that left 10 afghan civilians dead in cabal. at the end of august, we're aghast here flux into what the i, c c's decision will mean for the relatives of those victims who still seeking justice. what has caused such a scandal and such furor amongst human rights activists that organizations as that the eyes he sees essentially sake. we don't have the time or the means to investigate the the thousands of verified civilian casualties caused by the united states and the ica military of the prosecutors, 10 war criminals around the world that the u. s. playbook of deland intimidation works. it also validates one of the core criticisms of the i see that it only takes

action against politically. we came to the deals or nations. well, given western powers a pass by d prioritizing, investigating us and so on. as a national security forces, d i. c, c prosecutor is shamefully hanging, then get out of jail free card of the people that have been kidnapped and tortured at afghan bases or it a secret cia basis here. and i've got to start, they say how we reached here. this point is, is due to mob tactics because initially the, i see, she announced that they would investigate everyone's role in any potential walcross here in afghanistan. which, which prompted a tremendous pressure campaign from the united states where they threatened and sanctioned i. c. c. and officials, the timing of the i c. c decision, the announcement i couldn't have been much worse. the international press as well as the u. s. government. i still reeling from the fall out of the the last drone

strike of the afghan waterloo. ah, a drone strike that caused 10 civilian casualties. we have kept in touch with their relatives and the only apology that they've heard this is on television. but the united states, the pentagon, calling the deaths of 1010 of their loved ones, are a tragic mistake. but at the same time saying, no disciplinary measures would be carried out and they're left with with the understanding that if of their loss hasn't been inflicted by the taliban or isis. well, they're out of luck or commitment to the international court of justice. i will say

that we have been demanding for justice for more than one month now we suffered pain. nobody asked us about or helped us. we need justice to be served as soon as possible. i ask americans and other people around the world who allow the american military to bomb innocent civilians in any part of the world. this must be stopped once and for all, no killings of women and innocent children any more. the pentagon has offered all manner of excuses, many of which they have funneled into the press. 4 for why this was an honest mistake. they claim that they have learned the lesson of this terrible tragedy. but many people find that difficult to believe if, if this was allowed to happen after 20 years in afghanistan after so many drew strikes, similar to this one, weds wrong pathmark already on the horse. i will keep demanding that each person who has committed a crime here must be convicted and punished with the due process of law. it's

unfair. if a person commits a crime and then a different person is brought to court, to answer, the criminal must be punished. no scapegoats. if americans committed a crime, they must be brought to justice. they should be held to account. americans attacked our house, not the taliban. how the taliban will answer for this attack is a logical echo. american drones arm drones keep buzzing. viaz space over afghanistan with the american saying that no, they neither need nor, nor plan on requesting any afghan permission to conduct air strikes either ghana stop. just to remind everyone, no one in the by the administration or at the pentagon, has been fired, has resigned, or, or intention to leave as a result of what many describe was a fiasco. the united states withdraw pullout from of get a star plot against a reporting there from couple. so that's the weekly so far today here and are seen tonight.
