a little grain lisa has that. with this ours headline stories, a moroccan state, pro claims they dance of dozens of migrants trying to reach spain from africa last month was not the result of putting spots out to this by human rights groups, claiming the exact opposite with president biden reaffirmed america is tied to israel, especially, and confronting me a legit nucular threat from iran on that potential need for force in that regard. that sounds, palestinians protest over biden's refusal to meet the family of a journalist recently killed in the west bank also ahead. it's been 7 years since tornado spray painted this insignia,

hon. the school. it was shut down soon off of what the kids couldn't come back to what they had done this place into a a torture pit full of misery arcadia phase. it's what's left of a former bay silva, ukrainian, neo nazi battalion that says he ev releases a notorious nationalist commander from jail to fight on the front line with lighter moscow. this is our t. my name's unit o'neill, at 30 minutes of news and views start now. suffocation and not police violence was to blame for last month's debts of at least 23 migrants in northern africa. that is the conclusion of american fact finding mission, which has been investigating june's tragic events when a huge crowd tried to storm this spanish and place of molly. so teaching haas fuel

that all the deaths we saw were caused by a fix, yet they were the results of over crowding and pushing by huge number of people attempting to cross the border at once while and well to discuss the findings. we can cross, laughed archie, contributor rachel marston for her tick. hi there, rachel. so indeed, the at commission from rockwell concluded it's prob and has said the authorities are apparently not to blame. yeah, well you may recall that these are migrants from africa, the target of western regime change and fail counterterrorism wars who last month attempted to enter the u via spain from morocco at one of just to land borders between the european and african continents. now images and witnesses reports after time, evoked violence by spanish american authorities. we saw it with our own eyes, and the e. u has been pretty quiet. interestingly,

quiet on the issue. despite at least 23 migrants dying. the blocks leadership has since vowed to strengthen the use cooperation with morocco. this suggests that there are more of a security footing rather than a humanitarian one, or maybe more of a job security footing for the use officials, no doubt, politically driven by the rise of the populace right in europe, which is a direct political threat to the use very existence and now them rock in human rights council is officially attributing the cause of death of these migrants to mechanical asphyxiation which suggests physical crushing as they say, caused the death. but you know, it's the kind of crowding and clamoring that we've seen in ra concerts, sin in parties that i mean, we've seen all kinds of news footage where people are dropping dead as a result of, of crowds and pushing and shoving. you know,

it's hard to see how this one passes the smell tests. the moroccan commission found that there was no violence on behalf of the authorities. despite widely available images of the incident. the mission met with authorities and cios and injured migrants at the hospital. they all confirmed that line force meant forces did not use lethal weapons or firearms. oh, that's interesting because it's precisely human rights organizations and the un who have claimed that the authorities did use violence, no one bothered to come to the 8 of the migrants on the ground during and after the clash. some of them were crying in pain for long hours in the sun. so why is this important right now? experts and officials are predicting a global food crisis that could lead to increased migration from africa. the

e u isn't really taking on any leadership role here. it's passing the buck. what's this position? does it not want any more migraines? because if that's the case, that should really just say so, rather than just sitting idly by while these kinds of incidents risk being swept under the rug. rachel, thanks for taking us through that are to contribute our rachel morrison live in rti or during the 2nd day of jo biden's tour of the middle east. the u. s. president alongside the is really p. m. has taken on aggressive stance towards a rum saying force may be needed to bring peace to the region that the if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world will use force. but i also discussed the merger commitment to ensure in iran never change the nuclear weapon. this is

a vital secured interest about israel and united states and i would add for the rest of the world as well. live to tel aviv now our teas paula, sleep for her take on this paula head of the trip or ron was expected to be on the agenda. it certainly was take us through what was said if you will will it said he is on the agenda? what we have been hearing from the tim, please wait a prime minister yet yellow kid is for a formation of some kind of antique ran coalition. he has also said that he believes that her ran is buying full time. now bite him has supported these statements. we have heard from biden, that the united states will never leave, is all alone. so a lot of statements between the 2 countries of how much they appreciate and value each other. having said that, though, i have been speaking to his radio here, many things say that when push comes to shove,

they believe that washington will only look out for washington. and so that all of this is way political statements. at the same time, some people here have commented that the cummins against the ran have been a bit aggressive aside from e ran. and initially just mentioning that there has been a reaction from the rainy and place it and saying that these kind of statements will not bring peace. they so he won't bring security to his role. but aside from he ran the other main topic is the question of whether or not is well, isn't a point 8 state. and the question of whether or not they will be any kind of progress on the israeli palestinian diplomatic front. and certainly we haven't seen any evidence of this so far. if anything we've heard from biden saying that is well is not, and a party state that people who call it and a party state a wrong to do so bite and straight thing that he believes b is really needed. sentiment that israel is a democracy or few of them. i think the wrong thing for making

a mistake. israel is a democracy. israel is our ally, israel friend, ah. now at the same time, we have been hearing from palestinian organizations, some human whites groups from the united nations. indeed, from a whole host of international organizations calling is role in apartheid said. so the question needs to be asked all of him wrong. in april, you had the united nations issuing a report in which had found that israel was, and a party to state and window biden visits the west bank to morrow friday way. he will be meeting in the palestinian city of bethlehem with the palestinian president. ma'am, what a bus, they will be, bull boards, they to greet him that will say mister president, this is a party. and certainly we do expect that they will be a number of protests and demonstrations there to greet the american president as well. another issue here is that of the slain al jazeera high profile journalists

should wean abu actually now, whose family has expressed that it is to quote, full of grief outrage and put trail at what it says of the white washing of the american response to the alleged israeli killing all the high profile journalists, and they had requested a meeting with joe biden that he hasn't been able to find some 1015 minutes in his schedule to meet with a family so that sophie hasn't gone down well in particularly palestinian circles within the united states as well, you have a number of you may or may cause who are upset. you have a number of senate democrats who have said that the u. s. lid review of her killing quote, hardly constitutes an independent investigation. take a listen. this does not meet any plausible definition of the independent investigation that you and members of congress have called for. nor does it provide the transparency that this case demands. therefore, we right to seek further information regarding how the administration plans to

ensure that an independent thorough and transparent investigation is conducted into the shooting death of this american citizen and journalist. the issue of is really human rights is top of the agenda aside from iran. and of course the issue of whether or not it's all in some party state. we have seen a number of organizations coming out with reports that are highly critical of israel for don paul, the recent finding of a palestinian christian organization and need to gain an exchange rate to the fact that is what is in apartheid state. in the meantime, by them will continue today to meet with israeli leadership. and we do not expect anything really new to come out of those meetings. if anything, tomorrow's the day when he needs to come to the palace, thing and areas will be the day to march by. thanks for that. our teeth middle east correspondent policy clear on. indeed, let's say attempt to delve into some of the issues that paula was bringing off there with bob dole, harvey researcher and academic for his view on development.

we'll try a little bit later in fact, to get to rob bob on the dell of into that. but for the next day, let's move on to more news and indeed to the conflict in don bass, at least 2 civilians are dead. and 3 more injured after ukrainian forces shall the city center of done yet. according to multiple reports, a local bus station came under a rock in the famous nato, went to the target, the civilian area, with other reports coming in now that several other regions of the city have also been targeted. as you can imagine, this is all very live reports coming in. we're trying to verify exactly what is occurring we will of course bring to when we can move to move out. for now though, let's move to another aspect of the concept according to us. all right, he's in the central city of the myths has been hit by several rockets,

20 people were reportedly killed and dozens more injured. some reports claim a local military units and facility were targeted. although you printing officials say free russian given office building the russian defense ministry has he had to comment on the incident. what has repeatedly stressed does not target civilians. while that's of a notorious convict has been released by the ukrainian government as part of an amnesty for criminals with combat experience. re slum only shinkel, it has served time for torture and rape among other crimes. led the infamous neo nazi tornado battalion, which targeted the lou ganske republic between 2014 and 15, or a senior correspondent morocco. the of went to see what's left of the units. former, based near this, it chanced that was after russian lead forces took the city under their control in

ukraine and russia. tornado is a name that is soaked with infamy, a ukrainian battalion, so murderous sadistic and perverted, that even the ukrainian government wanted them gone. yet 7 years on half to their rest and disbandment, that headquarters still stands in. what remains of the school has been 7 years since tornado spray painted this insignia on the walls of this school. it was shut down soon afterwards, the kids couldn't come back than what they had. ton these place into a torture pit full of misery and pain, but much more recently, just 2 weeks ago. another neo nazi volunteer battalion was also stationed here. that is, as off they also the fall, the woods with their own insignia. you can argue which is worse. as of nationalists butchered thousands of civilians and mario bo,

but tornado. it was so much more revolting, say, even ukrainian officials lim letter stolen when the tornado commanders were detained. their mobile phones were seized when there was some scary footage on those full incident footage of sex orgies and rape. there were rapes of underage girls. no one will ever know precisely how many people they mud tortured and raped . here the court case against the rustling only shinkel and his henchmen consisted of 8. he tombs had more than a 100 witnesses and victims. but that is believed to be only a fraction of them as locals told me, 05 of what it is with who i that i thought i thought it was you on my going

oh, i have no idea. zip in a few, but not all but of identify with the company. lilian president, senior guy for b. b, i have a good deal to navina. oh, good move. oh, i mean below, at its inception in 2014 tornado was formed from the remnants of another disgraced ukrainian volunteer battalion shocked your desk. a quarter of the volunteers who formed tornado. what convicts? as they grew and recruited, that percentage only increased what, especially if there were a lot of them with prison tattoos. convicts can easily be recognized by their

behavior. we were picked up at the bus stop. i didn't have my passport with me. they checked us with some were released, but some were not as a result and i was on my knees in my former school. they tied my hands. i stood like that from 6 am to 8 pm, when one of them would come up and point the muzzle at my neck like this and pull the trigger. it's all up to you the show. this was once only jenkins caught us. turn into a dump, a trash followed by the ukrainians who stationed here now safe, still an open 3rd, mon though the only shanker was arrested into a navy was disbanded in 2015 lot of time has passed. but people still remember despite everything that was slum only shampoo, who ordered and oversaw uncountable, torches rapes and killings of civilians has been released from jail early by

ukrainian authorities of the serving holy 7 years. he and his closest henchmen are once again together and have at their disposal millions of dollars in nate, who weaponry all the guns and pallor. they need to chad a hole. the hate that they carry their blue straw rosky 1000000. they came to me and said, you know, what's up russian, i told them already, guess looking for russians than should every one hears. i told them i was born here . i grew up here. you, i will die here is when you're looking for russians. i said, well, should me then what was the plane? they were doing something in the basement. they were walking around dressed like nazis as they were shooting at the cemetery. they had a shooting range therapy bucket people disappeared. we've dug up everything around here. no one knows where they have gone. the slot, only shackles release will only boost thrushes case that moscow is waging battle

against those depraved few who hold ukraine, hostage against nationalism and radicalism. the likes of which the world has forgotten against hatred, depravity, and xenophobia. given human form, or i'd guides the of r t, from pre voya lugens people's republic. now a decade after the ar and the spring uprisings are swept across the middle east, a new survey has fine. most people in the countries affected believe their economies are weaker under democracy, ortiz acreage down of has been taking a closer look at some of the consequences suffered by those countries that went through the regime change. democracy. this form of government has long been peddled by the us and its allies as a cure all fixed for the world's problems. i think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy. democracy remains the definition of political legitimacy that has not changed and that will not change in

the face of sustain alarming challenges to democracy, universal human rights, and all around the world. democracy needs champions. but according to the latest survey among arab nations, the u. s. sled, democracy building has backfired tremendously. there an inevitable given for anyone born in europe who the us democracy remained a foreign odyssey for the po region of them. at least the 2 political worlds, while they co existed under an unwritten status quo, until the arab spring happened in 2010. ah

ah! with nation by nation, a cascade of bloody revolutions plunged the region into civil strife, terrorism and wars, and from thousands of miles away. washington cheered hailing would it called a transition. i even as we promote political reform, even as we promote human rights in the region, our efforts can't stop there. so the 2nd way that we must support positive change in the region is through our efforts to advance e can mac development for nations that are transitioning to democracy. well now over a decade later, the purveyors of democracy can exactly see the much fruitless results of their hard self with nary a crop of believe us turns out the arab world wasn't exactly and throughly with the

democratic ideal. there is a growing perception that democracy is not a perfect form of government and it won't fix everything. what we see across the region is people going hungry. people need bread. people are frustrated with the systems that they have. thousands of people were surveyed across the region, including those who were supposed to be enjoying the post arab spring, democratic fervor. but the aunt to nicea the sole example of a completed change of governance apparently hates it. almost 3 quarters of the population believe their economy has been weakened by democracy, while pretty much the whole country agrees. their nation is headed in the wrong direction. and similar results are coming from libya to following the 2011 ne, to intervention the country is in an ongoing civil war. with almost a 1000000 people relying on humanitarian aid to survive. even countries untouched

by the arab spring still have learned from their neighbors mistakes. democracy is disavowed across the boards in the middle east. nations take more kindly to the idea of reinstating kings and embracing the old ways as long as an effective government is part of the deal. the u. s. lead experiment of nation building has failed miserably in the past couple years from the african disaster to the continued fall out of the arab spring gamble. now nations favor governance options . actually at the furthest end of the political spectrum from the much hailed democratic model. well, let's pick up on some of egos points there that he's raised with the director of the asian center for studies and translation med most stuff from egypt to day live . and the program good to have you on a recent pool shows

a large number of people in the middle east are disillusion with democracy. that's essentially what with summarize there. why is that? oh, thank a lot my defend 1st. i have to go something from what to i send the saw last yesterday during the visit by the real america wife now is it presented in the old the hi, i'm a patient guy before america will never be before. of course, america trying to impose its mother of democracy and human rights in the vision. countries, especially the middle east. but should you know that the read them off the revolution? our vision, especially in egypt, indonesia and wade and indiana. it was the economic translation, not the political issue, because if you're already give democracy and the people is offering from poverty

suffering from hunger, things like that. what is going to to lead us to for example, india is the biggest democracy in the walk. but india still having magic problems concerning concerning diseases concerning a lot of natural capital that take, taking place over there. and also some sort of judaism over there in india, the biggest democracy as they are legion qualified about the problem here. whether to apply the american model of all the pin model to see if that is not. 6 matching with the main culture in our society or your will be thing with eyes as you are clearly in machine, things like that. they told us if the gene well susceptible economically revolutions will not what not take place in our vision because the main

object and the main logan for example in the career my dad, my dad and guy there called brent. 5 what liberty and social justice, the, for the bread and social justice where the main target of our illusion has not ignitor by there not to be well, a legion know well made by the people. and also just all those people are med sorry to interrupt. but most of the citizens surveyed where the citizens of countries of experience the arab spring is not significant in terms of the findings. exactly because for example, if the people already experienced these so legit, western democracy. and if we return to iraq and they came on the

cannon and the americans after killing 1000000 buying top off of iraqi civilians. although it's a thought that nobody told about that because the democracy that they need to do also what's happened in libya after, you know, at the making believe the video was one of the best economic leader in africa. they want to just unite africa about 170 to make africa way across a t and the american globalization. and well, the main reason supplement that also here i'm talking about the double the standards of the web. if you talk about the mac and you see that the value of the rescue and the work that the to choose between the work and the work. because for example, i was talking to some american friends and give me all the most to fall in an institute,

which is one of the weakest unit that is in russia. they went from america and were just, you know, making like a review for the american election the lot. i told them you weren't completely mistaken because you're a young generation and you are obliged to choose between 2 grand but where is the rule of the youth and united states? where does your body? well, as to me. 5 when all the members of, if you're part of the young people, it is a big double, a standard form. the wes concerning the matter of whether i follow that model or i will be just returning the g. i command, we got to leave it there. thank you, as always, are coming in the program and sharing your views with act bed. miss staff, director of the center for studies and translation in alexandria. thank you. okay, we returned to one of our top stories today. the other president biden's tour of the middle east where he met with is really prime minister year law on thursday.

the big issue. and there are being a run on how to deal with the perceived threat from a runs a legit nucular program. let's delve into the story on cross to research on academic rob bob abdulla hardy. welcome at to you. the u. s. continues to ignore, alleged this really crimes concerning palestinian civilians and tara trees. why do you think that is? let me just thank you so much for sure. can i say that it is not really an edge? it's actually. c established crimes, the monthly with international organization. i'm missing the rational human rights watch and the rain, the number of bits they have is average. what is the range is actually conducting among palestinians for our side against human. and this is something that the

palestinians have established again and again, why does the us continue to do so? because the u. s. is locked in what they call a strategic relationship with the state of is name company is that a miss do? and basically not ignoring international law is running on standards of human rights violations and i know it's on it just it's under us. and this is why many people are using in palestine. have we got to buy them it and i get this thing by the minute and people around the world. and then the, the members of congress themselves, president biden reaffirm his belief studies really not in apartheid state. rather, a democratic beacon in the region that's despite human rights groups even the un stating otherwise. did you expect to see anything different on up regard? i did not expect them to see anything different, but i didn't expect them to least alive and listen to the numbers of this on party

and to the populace of the united states that elected them. this was one of the promises that be made during the next 350 number of them. i think national committee that's elective in a letter saying that the usaa policies have to change. and the reason that the, the policy more that were implemented by but i'm for, but there was, for some of them would continuation of long can us administration policies that favor israel. that said that, and unfortunately that isn't what unquote, the, on the democracy in the region, which is actually not the locus. if you are watching what's going on right now, they're going to want internet assist in actions. and primarily because they are that i and that i the answer, right, i'm fighting over how can be, how can they be more disassembled and you decide them towards the by listen, nathan. yeah, who wants to have.
