ah ah, and so is he shake the way here in our t a bombshell reporter ledges to see i planned to kidnap or assassinate? we colleagues found that union assange with the agencies former chief mike pompei at the center of the plot. also this are russia threatened to block you cheap after the video sharing platform permanently deletes parties, german language channels, mosque. i believe that the u. s. company would not have acted without approval from berlin. and it was of extraordinary disaster if we didn't have a president that was so adult, you all would be fired. i don't think anyone controls anything. this president says about afghanistan, us lawmakers lambaste president biden,

and his top bras over what some in congress, calling washington's humiliating withdrawal from afghanistan. we are stay with the whole half can campaign might be a big failure than just the pull act itself. meanwhile, human rights group right raged as the international criminal court decided to ignore, alleged the american war crimes. in afghanistan, we hear from a man who lost 10 relatives in the us stream strike in couple. at the end of august . both mark already on it was i will keep demanding the 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 look back to what's been happening over the last 7 days. you watch in the weekly here on arte international. now this week it was

revealed, the c i ported to kidnap or assassinate wiki leagues, founded judy assange, when he was in the ecuadorian embassy in london. the u. s. media report was based on statements from 34 me u. s. officials and sent it on mike campaign while he was director of the agency during the time donald trump was empower pompeo as deny the accusations, but once action taken against those who made them. 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 aerial man, hunt and shootout with russian spies and central london. a new james bond movie.

not exactly. in fact, these are the highlights from a reported cia secret plan will silence the journalist already revealed americans for dirty secrets. location london, the year 2017 starting julian, a sorry, a man of interest. heidi ecuadorian embassy. my campaign, 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 tune. the upcoming details may surprise you. we are removing chapter one. assassination. my campaign wanted the cia to be create, instruct, 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 sounds reportedly discussed in the white house on the finest possible level. why would a cia chief 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 2, kidnapping. but somebody in the white house might have thought paid, no killings where a civilized nation that's kidnapped this journalist and sentence 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 filed charges

against the wikileaks found him. 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 plan deed do could possibly spoil the fun russians. of course, chapter 3, fighting russians. what is 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 plan to counts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left, nothing to chance bisons 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's on the runway by shooting it's tiresome as well as anything. and anybody else's way the plane take self with a flat tire. the see i hovers, a helicopter over is 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 governments pass the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. the rule of law may not surprise you. martin, a sand remains in a maximum security prison in the u. k. despite a british judge there ruling against 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 well in 2019 assange was forcibly removed by police from the ecuadorian embassy in london after the country

terminated his 7 year asylum. they're falling the recent developments this week. we heard from former c, i a analyst em whistleblower john kerry acco and also the wikileaks editor in chief kristin her atkinson. when you so stunning revelation is quite shocking. conseula this was being conquered 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 you as 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 of 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 owned 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 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 talk 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's no way that julian assigns should or could be extradited to the united

states and he should be free to go. now russia is threatening to block. he ching bad after the video sharing service, deleted artes, german language channels for allegedly breaching community guidelines. moscow described though, the move is an active, unprecedented inclination, aggression. but the russian foreign ministry saying that the measures again start, he could not have been taken without berlin's approval. 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. the gen government has denied the allegations are early at neil harvey spoke to our correspondent constantine raj cove, about the band and the possible ramifications are, you know,

the popularity of r t in germany among the germans speaking the audience has been grow and especially in the recent years and just to give you some numbers, artie 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. so already, doris has managed to put up a fight against major german news outlet, and of course it 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 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 in germany message saying that there were, quote repeated violations of community guidelines. so, you know, that's it. you get out of the platform, google, which owns you tube. a gave us a more detailed response. so let's have a listen. ye cheap has clear community guidelines which explain what is allowed on the platform. i'll t deutsch was issued a warning for uploading 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, violating you cheap times of service. so to give you some context, our 1st artie george, his main youtube channel law, was given several code related stripes and that led to a temporary suspension. so because the main page was suspended,

its team decided to continue sharing his content on different page that belongs to one of its, ah shows. ah, it was different content. ah, not that which had been flag 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 a 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 law mis information, misinterpretation. well, in the eyes of archie george that saw debatable so his aunty denying in the wrong doings it challenging this phone while they were saying that they received 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 care stories about r t, german becoming too influential to significant according to their own calculations . wearing to forth in terms of incleanse, 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 big an 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 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 i we're looking forward to it. or just foreign ministry spokeswoman muddy. the ha, 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 working in russia. now the message she didn't clarify what exactly that means, but i guess her are driven colleagues working here to be bracing for a bumpy road ahead. the also got so it's of alexander new from germany's last part . you know, so the leave him a, he was a politician for the cd party. they say it, it says that it is a step backwards for press freedom in europe. does this in, oh, clearly this situation does not put european freedom in a positive light. we have to acknowledge that 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. others 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 that off to chaotic st in the u. k. this week, some petrol stations there is still dry despite the fuel, crisis easing britain. so massive keys on full course across the country with frustrated drivers, even resorting to violence. p drive line is going to vary. oh, okay, got you gotta finish tonight. i'm not sure yet.

i so as you can say, tension at the pumps there has been pretty intense this wake the massive keys and panic binding kickoff after oil fin the pay warned it would have to temporarily close some of its special stations. g to a lack of lawyer drive is needed to deliver fuel supplies and the government is now intending to, to bring in the army to help deliver fuel. from monday, when he is a reminder, have had a crisis to help. ah many you work a she worked inside the u. k. left new dr. a. did not enter her profession piece. all came together in the supply chain. chimp 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 comparative, there's always a plan b, y loose a day. so can you see the rule? i believe we 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 off. he shall show trip or is totally no strategic strategy to solve the issue in the street. and this will not be shaw thread pending alti $1000.00 fee shot. if no apiece re strategic action is taken. it will also only come are worse

now this week, so tough talks in congress. as u. s. lawmakers lashed at j biden, and his top military commanders over the afghanistan withdrawal. the biden had ministration, has received a lot of flak. i with his recently, with some cold in the pull out humiliating for washington, who were just some of the accusations that were fired at the president and his take . president said, none of his commanders said that he should keep troops in afghanistan was on a false statement by the president as remembered. you do not have a duty to cover for the president. what is 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 accord cash and blood and credibility

into a ghani government. that was a mirage. it fell immediately. we were buying into 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 and american history or you have not been fully accurate. underwrote. we didn't have a president that was so adult. you all would be fired, but it's not just the pull at this being attacked to the entire afghan campaign is now coming in for increasing criticism. is kind of morphing. expects a testimony before congress was dancing. not only was the pull out of afghanistan 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 the united states. frankly, after this debacle of withdrawal, i don't think anyone can trust anything. this present says about afghanistan. we need to consider some uncomfortable truths that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership in nursing. your ranks that we did not rational damaging effect, are 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 a 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. 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 slit and already we're 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 afghan. yes, dan, i thank yeah. while we this 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 there nato and other cor 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 i 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. i'm, you know, they swayed of being, 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 early tech terrorism and the judge about armed resistance in country after country the united states has, has actually increased the risk of terrorism. more human rights screams are fuming over a decision by the international criminal court regime, a probe into war crimes in afghanistan, but no longer look at allegations of american atrocities. there is said, the focus will be exclusively on the taliban and isis. k. i have decided to focus

my offices investigations and have janice down on crimes allegedly committed by the taliban and these law mac state and to prioritize other aspects of this investigation. while this does come as washington faces outrage over a wrongful drone strike that left 10 afghan civilians dead in cabal at the end of august. but august, if now looks into what the i, c c's decision will actually 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 eyes he sees, essentially saying that we don't have the time or the means to investigate the thousands of verified civilian casualties caused by the united states and the archive military the prosecutors telling 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 get icey, prosecutor is simply hanging then 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 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. busy 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 depths of 10, the 10 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 uh their loss hasn't been inflicted by the taliban or isis. well, they're out of luck for coolness,

muffled 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 palm 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, webs wrong path mark already on a 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. javier 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 gather stuff just to remind everyone. no one in the by the administration or at the pentagon, has been fired, has resigned, or, or intended to leave as a result of what many describe was a fiasco. the united states withdraw pull out from of get a star or a gas f reporting from cabal. there he been watching the weekly hair in our scenes, national get

a heavy company. we're back again at the top. the lou, the lack of universal health care makes america the country of every man for himself. we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with a special mechanism for that. it's called the life settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who are no longer want or can't afford their life insurance policies. if you're sick and for want to live a few more years, you consillio life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment off to your death. and there's a group of people out there, i guess, hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them when i start

crying about him dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of at all. when i oh, yeah. when you come from for you've been issue with in your portion of the countries for staying up your child and left school, what they knew from well was the 1st oh no, no, i love it as the as the sweepstakes this name.
