i ukrainian politician the still reluctant to talk about these events, how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past. and why does the memory of belinda dune divide people ah, confession time, the former national security adviser to donald trump opens upon dora's box after admitting to us involvement in several crews abroad. one doesn't have to be brilliant to attempt to coo. i disagree with that as somebody who is health plan, coo data. no, not here, but you know, other places it takes a lot of work. oh, sure lanka, declare is a state of emergency. i was the president, please. the country with the prime minister temporarily taking charge much to the

continued on growth protesters and they've done yet group public a kindergarten tick said direct hit by ukrainian shelling while a separate attack sees 2 civilians killed. does joe biden touches on israel as part of phase 1st presidential visit to the middle east? we look at how a rising tensions with washington may, through a spark works with wherever you're tuning in from across the world. welcome to moscow into the global use round up an rti, you know, normally in a bombshell admission, the former national security adviser to donald trump has admitted the u. s. was involved in a number of coups around the world. john bolted made the confession during an interview to sienna. one doesn't have to be brilliant to attempt to qu,

i disagree with that as somebody who is health plan, coo data, not here, but you know, other places. it takes a lot of work. well to discuss the revelations. hm. there's quite a few in there and joined by our correspondent dawn quarter dawn. it is absolutely not common practice among those who served in the highest positions in u. s. administrations to confess this such moves. does it now have the potential to open a pandora's box this while definitely a big surprise that john bolton, a former national security adviser, would actually call a spade a spade when it comes to washington's decades long tendency of over throwing governments around the world. that it doesn't like, but to introduce this idea that the u. s. orchestrates coup de tours on, in other countries on a mainstream media outlet like cnn. i mean, that could really like you said, open pandora's box in terms of how people view the legitimacy of washington's foreign policy decisions. we've already seen bolton's comments draw out quite

a bit of criticism from the u. s. is european allies on twitter already, and i mean, do you remember what one, guy doe, america's yes, man, who basically tried to overthrow the venezuelan government several years ago. i mean, he's definitely going to look a lot less like a freedom fighter now and a lot more like a foreign agent to your average american, an important even called vin, as well as government in a legally elected government. let's take those from what he said. i wrote about venezuela in the book and it turned out not to be successful, not that we had all that much to do with it, but i saw what it took for an opposition to try and overturn and illegally elected president and they sailed. we have to understand that bolton's admission of failure in venezuela, his admission that washington organizes coup d'etat around the world. i mean, this all actually flies in the face of what former secretary of state mike pompei o said back in 2019. as the venezuelan government was an, as a life and death struggle over the country, sovereignty pompeo said that the u. s. did not get directly involved in this at all

. now, it looks pretty undeniable that the u. s. was actually quite involved in guido's movement of the same movement that ended with an attempt by armed men to take over the government in which a number of people were killed. and even to 2 american former special forces. soldiers were arrested, there was just breaking all that. don don, countries not accused or accused the u. s. of meddling, their claims must be seen in a holding you like now. surely. that's true. i mean, these are not new claims that the u. s. has been involved in this or that uprising around the world. i mean, we saw mass protests in hong kong in the same year that they were actually taking place in venezuela and back then. beijing said that the u. s. was stoking the flames of those protests there. and bolton statements just lend more legitimacy to that claim. just this year, the former prime minister of pakistan, m ron con, he said he was ousted from power amid

a constitutional crisis. and he says that the u. s. was behind his removal because he tried to maintain a non aligned foreign policy. so with all this political chaos around the world, washington and one way or another connected to the u. s. government. it's really, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that a lot of african countries in asian countries are weary about being connected with the united states, especially when the united states is trying to get them on the anti rush and sanctions bandwagon. i mean, they're, they're leaders see what happens when american influence is tolerated, and countries, and then the authorities there make one wrong move that washington doesn't like. and let me just bring you back a few years on the my done uprising of 2014 in ukraine. will not be considered a crew by the west as well. well, that's possibly the case. i mean, back when it took place back in 2014, many people saw it as a crude, a talk back to them as well. i mean, it's no secret that the former under secretary of european affairs victoria newland

and cooperation with the former us ambassador to ukraine at the time in 2014. they did all they could to guide the ukrainians, the ukrainian opposition movement, where they wanted it to go. and this is one only one of the reasons why russia's foreign minister at the time called my don and outright coup d'etat. let's take a listen with him as a way to so that's my thought. if we call it a 2 day target, which took place the morning after france, poland and germany signed an agreement between the then president and opposition leaders in the investing president, them justice and mice and on what ramifications can john bolton's confession not have? well, it's unlikely that level headed leaders of sovereign nations around the world are ever going to entirely trust american diplomats and american politicians ever. again. i mean, in dealing with the united states, it's not going to be clear whether the american politicians are going to be conducting diplomacy with them in good faith. or if they have some sort of alternative agenda, perhaps a coup de top their sleeve. and what's even more shocking is that bolton was not

the 1st one to open this can of worms. earlier this year, the former us ambassador to russia, michael mcfall explained how america teased and lied to ukraine about nato membership. in 2021. we kept reiterating that ukraine was going to join. we kept saying that over and over, you know why he so my, so my, so my, so our diplomats are lying. yeah. so yeah, that is a real world guy. he's come online. so if it wasn't already glaringly obvious how the us views it, feelings with other people around the world, i mean these recent statements by these top us officials should really be one heck of a wakeup call. dawn, thank you very much for taking it through all our t don quarter. nod the chinese foreign minister. how's accuse the us of using us see on countries us chess poems in its attempts to put pressure on

china's policy. as regards the indo pacific region, we should insulate this region from geo political calculations and the trap of the law of the jungle from being used as chess pieces and major power rivalry and from coercion. when it comes amid rising tensions between pacing and washington and the indo pacific region, with the u. s. exerting pressure on the tennessee and countries. meanwhile, us secretary of state, anthony blink, and as now chosen to accuse russia of creating a world where a big nation can volley small nation fighting, the rushing cream conflict if russia is allowed to do what it's doing, that means that we're going to go back to a world in which might makes right in which big nations can bully small nations. that's the opposite of the rules based order. a former indian foreign secretary can walsall ball told us earlier than the blinking words raised more than a few eyebrows since the us itself has a long record of mistreating smaller nations. but i'm

a bit surprised that he should be saying this, knowing that that's when the world thinks that the united states had been willing small nations for decades in latin america. whether it is id or the panama, or tuba, or ben is layla. and of course, in the middle east where they are libya or syria. so medical history is such that they should be very careful when they use such language. now, if we take the blinking is using this language, i can think of 2 reasons. one is a central destination that be and that it is not being bought by the rest of the narrative on russia. movie opperation, you gain the western violated every principle. they have themselves and defining

what i'm getting to in tumbling demetria, governance in defense of both on russia actually conducting actually a proxy war against such. and so do for the moment i think that's a little bit on the back for these policies that are being pursued will not succeed and eventually, and eventually there will be a push back and hopefully multiple world will arise what we see, at least for the time being is that the month people, the idea are being on the back foot because the manner in which to my mind, united states and european union have targeted russia. ok to another over a headline story said a mass on rest, ensure a lanka shows little sign of relenting protesters had no breach the prime minister's office. he was appointed days ago was the country's acting president as

well, but citizens and demanding his immediate resignation. oh, well, police used water commons on tear gas against the protesters, but were unable to stop them taking over what i knew whitker, i'm a single office. at least 30 people were injured during the assault, a local journalist sent us this report a go. but i will protest still do that very much in falls behind me. the president secretary did. now there's been an official confirmation, but the president has left the country and he's currently in all of these things because she lanka will need a new government with the president most likely designing today and prime minister and become a cindy. also expected to follow suit. they will need a replacement. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the i am the international monetary

fund to get a good be now to beckett's, then she'd uncle will also need all good to finance minutes now important to underline. good. that much of the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the massive challenges that made this particular government out. the new government will also inhibit massive humanitarian and no, i know challenges. a state of emergency to president both of my own job shop the country. now the administration is doing everything it can, the sponsor called several gas jails have been used on the port that still remain adam and they want the prime minister as well as the president all 3 long golf design right now a will be with

oh, i'm going to show my in columbus. oh, well, the island nation's parliament speaker, say the former president will submits a formal resignation as promised. today, while the acting president has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country, we'll see if that works. it includes top leaders from the military and police. i said president got a buyer for lunch at baxa and his wife. if fled abroad, a local journalist joined others in the leaders abundant residents take a look at this. i'm here in front of the president's housing, columbus through lanka. as you can see behind me tense and thousands of people are still eagerly awaiting to walk into the sir presidential palace and to see what is the inside and what sort of a bill. and that was captured by the apprentices on the 9th of july. and this particular human line is currently managed by the members of the organizations that

carried out the huge mass valley. the protest that was unveiled on the 9th of july, but still received the presence of the security personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president barbara de boxer who volved to step down from his position as the president. there was a meeting among the members of the representative bodies that organized the early on the 9th of july and the particular party leaders at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker. so of the protest. the organizers have refused to take part in the particular meeting, saying that david have their own nation plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is bush on mass report, or do you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sher lanka. what's herancha is in the midst of a major economic crisis, most of the countries external debt is owed to western countries. now over the past

half a century or so, of the intern monetary fund has given the nation 16 lows, which are like a going through a host of what's called economic stabilization programs with the i m f. back out the 2018 world economic forum sher, like as prime minister, expressed hope that his country would become wealthy by 2025. it's no secret that asia, the economic engine of the future. and in our endeavors to make sri lanka in rich countries, by 2025, we aim to include asia even more and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan. the u. s. government is the only member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular, the i m f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m f demands

that a country cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage, basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest to foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talks between the sri lankan government and the i m f. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i m f. conditionality is that have been imposed on countries like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interests of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was unwilling to given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time.

the case ministry of defense appears to find itself a new enemy, the b, b. c. it's law starts at the broadcaster over a new investigation which claims on s a s death squad was responsible for scores of extra judicial killings. enough, get this done. the ministry claims the documentary puts army lives at risk. the report jumps to in, justified conclusions from allegations that have already been fully investigated. insinuating, otherwise is responsible, incorrect, and puts our brave armed forces personnel at risk, both in the field and reputation only. while the documentary investigation contained a number of revelations, namely, individuals who serve with the ss, said that they witness troops killing alarm people during night rates. the witnesses also saw the operatives, the alleged planting weapons out the scene to justify the killings. the bbc funds

evidence showing that the us top ross knew of possible killings, but fail to pass on. and the evidence. moreover, a pattern of similar instances was discovered all claiming the suspects had pulled their weapons. mm. well, i'm happy to say wooden cross live now to former british soldier who served 3 tours enough down the son trevor. a cold. trevor. welcome to the program. your initial reaction. when you read this, did it much with your own experience. my initial reaction was typical b, b, c, trans store hatred into the population. there are now the government corporation, and that's why meghan solve people. you can subscribe and scrap the tv vices because they're biased on your, from your own experiences. you say you haven't seen anything like this. never at does that. my mom died. there's a chime as to any conversations you've ever had about something like this. no,

never, never seen it and you don't understand it. the british forces are like every other forces and we have our own standers. we know that it's wrong to point a weapon. it's somebody who isn't an immediate threat to life. it's wrong to do so. i've never seen that happen in my company. i've never seen that man around me do it and we know right or wrong, we're not, we're not killers. the program or the documentary alleges that soldiers commanders felt that they didn't have to answer to any one. was that climate there when you served? no, never, and i'd like to point out that the document it was based on the screen, special or service or not based on the british essay. yes. ok. there seems to have been an issue with transparency been as you're going through and reports that none of these instance where passed on to the military police. was there

a division and not sense that we don't fully trust what the military police will surmise will conclude. no, you've got to remember that that the multi police work under a team called the special investigation brush, the s a b. and i can assure you 100 percent. that if anyone in the essay be thought they could get a scalp, i'm thought they could actually put a special forces shorter in geo for kang, or such atrocities. they would have been all over them and beecher then bear to get that. and special forces troops at don't goin unwilling to kill people, you know, they have a good time for the shall be sh, they go away to get specific targets that are deemed as threat to life and those can kill. and ma'am, they go out and the killer capture those individuals, they made me go ahead and try and capture them. if you can capture them, you can bring them back. you can try and get as much information as you can to help you well the right. so pretty special portion do not go right to kill people they want to capture and bring back the intelligence. ok to get co. sorry. i just want

to say that in props furnace to this program they, they don't try and tar the entire british services with one brush. they conclude that 54 people were killed in suspicious circumstances by one s c s unit in hell mon province at from 2010 to 2011. trevor with respect to how can you be sure that did not happen. i know several come on. there's are with the special push, good stuff i hold in high regard, whoever the walk through. and i know what type of what type of moral color stay house. and i can assure you that it's not them on campus if they go over the policy . okay, we appreciate your time. progress. always. thanks for your view on the program today at trevor cold, british war veteran life on our team. thank you. the most brittle winter of the past 16 years now. so i'm b. e. u is about to face according to romania, as deputy prime minister,

who claimed the crisis has been brought about by the sanctions imposed on russia. first of all, we, the european union will pay for sanctions against russia. europe, the european union must admit, frankly, that unfortunately we will all pay the price this winter. it is going to be a harsh winter, perhaps the harshest in last $4050.00 or 60 years for the whole of europe. west l into this with our t county been our rachel marston. hi there, rachel. so this 4th coming winter, all the sign saying it's not going to be easy for european people. how are authorities in europe, holiday dealing with the energy crisis? how are they dealing with it? well, all i can say to that is that these leaders are just about the worst gamblers ever . if they ended up in las vegas, they b, y, the guys who loses, their sure ends up crying over the free house drinks at the bar and wondering where

it all went wrong. they spent the past several months betting everything on cutting off russian energy revenues. not a day goes by here in europe that we don't hear about this energy crunch, panic, rationing shortages, cut off all this brutality on the people. and, oh, for what? if our leaders, we're aiming for russia than he really could use of shooting lessons. he think that they put down the shovel and stopped digging themselves into a hole maybe just long enough to come to their senses. first, they try me, appellate russia, into caving to western demands in ukraine by cutting off russian gas thinking that russian energy revenues would be cut off entirely. forgetting about the rest of the world, because that all didn't work. russia just ended up finding new customers elsewhere . russian oil has been heading, for example to the middle east and cold china. meanwhile, it's you citizens who are worried about the future, mainly because it's pretty clear that our leaders have no clue what they're doing.

and if they did that, they probably wouldn't have started freaking out over the plan nord stream, one pipeline maintenance, which is only going to last a few days. and they knew that if their goal was so calm, which was so confidently stated, was to shun russian energy permanently. then why are they in such a panic if russia actually fulfills their stated wish? and while they're firing up coal plants again in europe, out of energy desperation and reclassifying, fossil fuel, gas and radioactive power, as green. oh, sorry, environmentalists. germany has now decided that it can do without rushing, cool, starting august 1st. and it can do without russian oil starting december 31st. you know, i put my hands at this point. yeah, sure guys, why not just set fire to all of the sales while you're sitting there in the middle of the ocean struggling, panicking, and just hope that somehow you'll safely end up back or sure if they have

a solution to replacing rushing gas there. sure. being discrete about it and they're not communicating it, but um, it looks like now they're gonna, they're making sure they're going to be left without any backup plans. all because this seems to be the only leverage they have left against russia. so they're playing that card. they're burning bridge after bridge, after bridge with their scorched earth policy, with reckless disregard for the price that the average you citizen will have to pay . and european commission vice president france temperament is sounding the alarm over all of this and how it might turn out. if our society descends into very, very strong conflict and strife because there is no energy, was certainly not going to make our goals was certainly not going to get where we need to get if the lack of energy leads to strong disruption in all societies. and we need to make sure people are not in the cold in the coming winter. strong disruption in europe. huh. so the leadership there is voicing concern about

their own anti russian policy, sparking conflict and strife in europe when they were aiming for russia. hey, at this point, maybe they'll even spark a coup against themselves if you citizens get fed up enough. fly from paris are t contributor rachel marson. hey, let's and would know to the latest on the conflict and don boss, the city of gore law k, in the done yes. republic counts been shallow by ukrainian forces. according to local authorities, a kindergarten took a direct hit. this footage shows the aftermath of the shelling. officials say around 20 rockets from multiple rocket launchers were fired. the city 2 civilians were killed while a number of residential buildings were partly destroyed, local infrastructure pentium was damaged to annette. let's bring u. n. d to the city of done yet, the local authorities say heavily populated areas have been shelled again. as you

can see, one rocket yet hit the roof of an apartment building. going right through. of course no casualties have been reported. officially claim ukraine is using nato weapons to target civilian areas in the region done in the neighboring ganske republic, the city of las, a chance is singing well a semblance of normality. following the patrol of ukrainian forces, units, all the republics forces they are clearing rubble from the at st sauce rebuilding work begins. here's what locals had to say about the arrival of russian at lead troops through la annually. sure they were shooting even back in 2014, the ukrainian soldiers told as to when we leave them, we will destroy everything on our street, which shall 10 times. all of the rounds came from close by kitty. we are deeply grateful for what you've done for liberating lucy chance 0 as we've been waiting for this for 8 years. joe biden's arrived and israel at the beginning of

a 4 day tour of the middle east. now he's expected to focus on and merging r a is really military partnership to combat the elijah threat from air. ron, to run though, claims a trip won't help bring security to israel. i had all the visit is really soldiers flushed with palestinians. dozens of protesters threw stones out, is really security forces who in turn fired tear gas, arrested several people, the demonstrators, through the streets to denounce is really settler. it talks which at police they allege, turn a blind eye to policy or takes us through what we can expect from jo biden's trip to rattle he's a necklace to me here in israel, as joe biden touches down for the 1st time as president and the thousands of police deployed is common place for visiting dignitaries. so what's new on the agenda? temporary 3 prime minister yet. yep. he says he ran is the main issue under

discussion. israel will not stand idly by while iran tries to attack us. we will discuss with the president and his team, expanding security cooperation against all threats. i can say is he's in favor of a more integrated and stable middle east, but he's also suggested 8 new middle east in mason, given the problems some excuse the common to me to of steering up in ukraine. little wonder these criticism that this wilson p d, stabilize the region further. the entry of foreigners in the region will not create security instability, but is itself the main cause of tension and regional rift. america raises such issues solely with the aim of sewing. i ran a phobia and division among the countries in the region. ango at brutal killing of al jazeera agenda. shaheen absolutely hasn't faded, and her family is still seeking justice. they accuse bitin of white washing these way. the armies, actions,

and social pressure is quite high too. when biden enters bethlehem from jerusalem, the 1st thing he sees will be this wall painting. the wall painting as an expression of a rejection of the american position on the issue of the assassination of ob lockley and a condemnation of the american report which results amounting on his way to human rights in the latest danasia by a palestinian christian organization. israel is accused of meeting the criteria of an apartheid state, just the latest voice to the chorus of international organizations denouncing the countries humanitarian track record. it is abundantly clear that israel meets the definition of the crime of a.
