history of the usa by america on r t who both in the stories is shake the way here in our tea, a bombshell reports and ledges the cia plan to kidnap or sasa. nate wiki leaks found that julian assange, the agencies former chief, mike pompei at the center of the plot. he's now calling to the sources behind revelation to be found despite deny the accusations. russia threatened to block you tube after the video sharing platform, the only deletes are teach german language channels. moscow though, says the u. s. company would not have acted with act approval from berlin. also to come it was an extraordinary disaster. if we didn't have a president that was so adult,

you all would be fired. i don't think anyone control anything this president sales about afghanistan, u. s. law make his van vice president biden, and his top bras over what some in congress are calling washington's humiliating withdrawal. from afghanistan, we asked though if the whole game campaign might be at the bigger failure than just the pull act itself and human rights groups, right, race is the international criminal court decides to ignore, alleged american war crimes in afghanistan, we hear from a man who lost 10 relatives in the us dream strike in couple. at the end of all a book, 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. ah hello, welcome, the latest developments and look back. what's been to over the last 7 days you

watch in the weekly here and arty international. now this week it was reveal the c . i plotted it to kidnap or assassinate wiki leaks, founder julian assange, when he was in the act, the drawing embassy in london. u. s. media report was based on statements from 30 former u. s. officials and centered on mike pompeo. while he was director of the agency during the time donald trump was empower, pompei though has denied the accusations, but once action taken against those who made them. and they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the central intelligence agency. maybe they didn't, maybe as a 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, kidnap ariel man, hunt and shootout with russian spies in central london. a 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 americans for dirty secrets. location, london, the year 2017 starting julian, a sorry, a man of interest. heidi ecuadorian embassy might compel. then c, i achieve evil mastermind behind the operation. the russkies. the essential ingredient for any good spice dory. down the cia would break every possible law to silence independent journalist. stay to the upcoming details may surprise you. we are recording chapter one, assassination. my compared wanted the cia to be create instructors, subordinates not to self sense of 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 a sound, reportedly with disgust in the whiteness on the finest 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 secrets ya 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 tape, no killings where a civilized nation that's kidnapped 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 who the cia was going to kidnap the 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? abducted a sound and then flies him to moscow? that's a possibility. the paranoid ca offices thought brace yourself. the plan to counts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left nothing to chance. the sand gets into the car with the russian operatives. the 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 it on the runway by shooting its tires, as well as anything. and anybody else's way? the plane takes off with a flat tire, the c, i a hovers a helicopter over, it still manages to leave the ground. they demand for the european countries close their aspects. we are still talking about catching julian assange, not the number one, terrorist. oh, well, if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american government, ah, the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. the rule of law may not surprise you. we margin assigned remains in a maximum security prison in the u. k. despite a british judge their ruling against his expedition to the united states over fears about his mental health. he faces a 175 years in prison in america, where he's wanted on charges of hacking and espionage, and 2019 assange was forcibly removed by police from the ag throwing embassy in

london after the country terminated is 7 years silent. there are falling, the recent developments we heard from format c, i a analyst and whistle glow, john kerry echo. and also we can leaks editor in tree in chief kristin, her atkinson, me so stunning. the revolution is quite shocking. conseula. this was being conquered, cousins in the states, so kit, mapping them, also please killing if julian is expedited to to the other states, it will be in the hands of the seo is shades on yours ground. it would be in the hands of those who were planning to kill 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 the 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 assange 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. one of the things that we learned in this article was dad, the british intelligence service, the external intelligence service m, i. 6, was apparently involved, you know, where they were talking about, shoot out the potential, pursued out in front of the, at, with dorian 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. and 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 assigned should or could be extradited to the united states, and he should be free to go. now russia, his threatening to block inches that after the video sharing service deleted artes german language channels for allegedly breaching community guidelines. moscow described the move though, as an act of unprecedented information aggression, the russian foreign ministry saying that the measures against artie 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, but clash with a media background that is comfortable for german officialdom. while the german

government has denied the allegations earlier, neil harvey spoke to our correspondent constantine garage, cough about the band and the possible ramifications. or, you know, the popularity of our tea in germany among the german speaking audience has been grow in, 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 had not a small e to channel that placed it among the top german news channels on that platform. so arte doris 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 r t in a, in the country. and rti has been struggling to start a teeny broadcast in germany 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 kosh 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 in 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 clay community guidelines which explain what is loud on the platform. i'll t deutsch was issued a warning for up floating content that violates our rules in relation to cov, at 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 for violating you cheaper terms of service. so to give us some context, our 1st artie george, his main youtube channel law, 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 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 are, 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 strikes for are 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 been 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 delete for several months before channels were banned. the german media had been publishing care stories about r t, german becoming 2 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. shines. 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 beacon audience have so much success. they made us out to be a boogeyman. 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 rush response we're looking forward to it or just foreign

ministry spokeswoman muddy is a harlow also we'd in by saying that would just happen. ah, was an act of aggression and that there's going to be a symmetrical response directed at german media working in russia. now the message should, didn't clarify what exactly that means, but i guess her are through colleagues working here should be bracing for a bumpy road ahead. we also got the thoughts of alexander new from the, from germany's left party. and also i believe, emma, who is a politician for the c t party, they say it is a step backwards for press freedom in europe doesn't oh, clearly this situation does not put european freedom in a positive light. we have to acknowledge the 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. 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 t deutsche, because it has broken their monopoly and the dictate of opinion in german journalists and journalists who practice journalism that preaches 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. now off to hey, artic saint nene k this week, some pet for stations. they're still dry despite the field crisis easing with britain, so massive kings on full courts across the country with for strike, to drive as even resorting to violence. p drive behind it. harry, i got a new one,

then got you. so as you can see, tension at the pumps has been pretty high this week. the massive cues in panic, buying kicked off after oil firm b. p warned it would have to temporarily close some of its petrol stations. due to a lack of laurie drive is needed to deliver fuel supplies, and e e k government is now intending to bring in the army to help deliver fuel from monday. well, here's a reminder of how the crisis to cult ah many you work us work inside the u. k. left new dr. a. did not enter a peer professional piece. all came together in the supply chain. him the stops.

ah, the government for more than anything the government isn't making this better. to be honest with anything marriage you've taken off 10 years back. so comparative, there's always a plan b y loose a day. so can see the rule and believe we don't know what's in the next level. what is the next stage with english, the potential of the entire people of this country? ah, bish offering or he shall show temper is totally no strategic strategy to solve the

issue in the in the street. and this will not be, shall, 3 pending alti $1000.00 fee shot, if no apiece, re strategic action is taken. it will also only become more worse. now this week, so tough talks in congress. as you estriol make is lashed out joe biden, and his top military commanders over the afghanistan withdrawal, the biden had ministration has received a lot of flack, a with this recently with some calling the pull act humiliating for washington. when he were just some of the accusations that were fired at the president, and he stay, the president said, none of his commanders said that he should keep troops in afghanistan was at a false statement by the president as remembered. you do not have a duty to cover for the president when he's not telling the truth. i've given him my judgment on it. now let's think we all know it was a false state. 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 cache and blood and credibility into a ghani government. that was a mirage. it fell immediately. we were buying into the big lot, the big lie 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 police that spain attack. the entire afghan campaign is now coming in for increasing criticism. is kind of morphing. expect 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 qaeda 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 nursing your ranks. that we did not grasp a damaging effect. the frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders, and that we fail to fully grasp what 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 constitutional 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 terrorist state taliban, even though they may think that they're trying to govern that place itself to split and already were seen isis attacking caliber on an. there's no guarantee then that taliban can ensure that 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 is conceivable that 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 assign. 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 their 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 few away tech terrorism and the just 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 regime a probe 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 have decided to focus my offices investigations in of janice, down on crime, allegedly committed by the taliban and these law mac state and to to prioritize other aspects of this investigation. when this comes is washington face is outrage over a wrongful drone strike that left 10 afghan civilians dead in couple at the end of august, were aghast. yet now look into what the i c c decision will mean for the relatives of those victims who is still seeking justice. what has caused such a scandal and such furor amongst human rights activists that organizations as that the overseas 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 telling war criminals around the world that

the u. s. playbook of dylan 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 down a get out of jail free card of the people that have been kidnapped and tortured at afghan bass has, or it a secret cia basis here. and i've got a son. 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, when webs wrong path mark already on the hearth,

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, or the air space over afghanistan with the american saying that no, they neither need nor, nor plan on requesting. and the afghan permission to conduct air strikes either gain a 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 withdrawal ball out from of get

a star weekly is looking so far this sunday morning godaddy company. don't forget, we've got plenty of story sue and a website, and you can find that as usual. and artie duncan ah, showing me every 1st on the alex simon sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics, small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . oh. i'm with mm hm.

hello, welcome to was a part of the most international players formulating their reaction to use withdrawal from a gas. and it's quite a challenge to many profit gone to tightly intertwined. it's use notable exception, while the india decry as the worst possible outcome and bending before terrorist pakistan is celebrated as an indication of that own strategy and a recognition of the reality on the ground. last week we brought you video from the valley. so let's now we'll do is love to speak to a that my child reach. director general of the institute of strategic status is la, former for and secretary of pakistan. and the former ambassador to the united states ambassador is great, strongly to talk to you. thank you very much for finding the time. thank you for having me now. you know, last week i spoke to.
