devastating war in iraq. it has been 20 years since the u. s. invasion and occupation there, which left an estimated 180000 civilians debt with the we are setting the record straight from moscow and put you back on the mainstream narratives. welcome to your news. this is our t international. so a 13 year old resident of jerusalem has been identified as the shooter in an attack that wounded to people in the city today that's according to was ready police. the gunman has reportedly been wounded and i was overpowered by authorities off re opened fire in an eastern part of the city. now come to us after another incident claimed the lives of at least 9 people in jeanine 2 days ago. at the latest shooter though, is believed to have wounded, at least to that incident, occurred just outside the ancient walls of the old city will keep you posted and

the key players in government such as the police are now we've called national security minister bank beer. bank beer has nothing to do with the army with the defense poses. he's in charge of the police. one important component of the police is the border patrol bank. we are tries to supervise the border patrol personally, the regardless of declarations. and so on bank the side, he's not calling the shots, at least not yet. the russian forces have been pressing for control of the strategically important city of oakland audience. in the don't that script public. the following joan footage appears to show the off them off heavy fighting. this as a moscow forces are making their advance into the city

a roman called her f, sent us this report from the front. we are on the outskirts of the city hall over the door. we are with the forces of the next republic, sir, interior and ben. his free will try and get as close to the door as possible. fighting, there continues as a russian forces have already gain control over the nearby town next to glitter the city of lazar is right behind me and can probably, i see it's a heavy fighting continues right now as we speak at the moment, sir. there are 2 formations here. one is of the internal ministry of the new republic and the other are the marines of russia's pacific fleet. now, the forces at the moment are in the suburbs of lazar. there's no street fighting, taking place right now. the plan is, according to my sources, is to execute

a so called pincer movement, where the korean army will be encircled. meanwhile, russian defense ministry have also reported that the roads leading out of google adore towards ukraine are now also completely blocked. sheila, the situation is stable. we are a storm in the city trying to clear the enemy from a glass door. people are waiting for us there and a constantly calling this year. we have learned to identify all nater techniques, so they no longer work. the command has already changed tactics a little drawing conclusions from previous battles. and i repeat once again that we know all the native techniques so off to resist in a little they will start to surrender and mass commander of the 3rd platoon is showing me the trenches that they have just taken over from ukrainian military. hon . take a look. this is

a looks like one of the flags of ukrainian regiments. 30341 o 2. now i'm not sure what this means, but so there's a lot of ammunition here as well. there is a broad clothing that ukrainian military left and these trenches, or maybe about a kilometer away from oak lazar with intense fighting continues here on the outskirts of lids arc. now we just raised a drone in order to film a little bit closer to the city to find out what's going on within the city limits . however, we lost our drone according to the military, here, it was intercepted by ukraine. so right now we are leaving this area according to the soldiers that i spoke with. they're hoping that

the battle for lazar will and successfully for them very soon from one quarter of our t, the nest republic, the private u. s. military company. the mozart group has denied allegations of being directly involved in fighting against russian forces at the company's director, made those comments and an exclusive int he without is going on the ground. have a listen to this. not by anyone's consent, any common concept or the term we don't carry weapons. we're not finding a training all. and we're a fascinating and seating civilians that your record is saying. ukraine is a corrupt job society. ukraine is in violation of a convention. probably so knock in london, probably sholtes in berlin. they're all saying no, with any hundreds of billions of dollars there. it was the car, it was taken out of context. my voice and i watched it. i watch the interview on it

was it was produced by a guy named max blumenthal. yes, i'm good. let me, let me get the points that i that i said, yes. specifically, ukraine. what i all i said was saying, yes, ukraine has in the past, had a, had a problem with corruption. that's undeniable. all right. and so me, prisoners of all is a violation of the geneva convention. my point is that if you are going to have the moral high ground and you're going to say, and i'm here, listen, i don't get my feet the my lines. so you challenge any, want to say, you know, support, you crime, a convention i every day i just, i mean we're going to the end, i should just, i was actually watching the video. you, your guys put up my fluids, all editor grays and said whether it was a whiskey talking randy milburn to learn the video i posted provides a clear and accurate depiction of his comments on the corruption of the great society, sick leadership and the propensity of its military to commit and videotape battlefield atrocities for its own sake, milburn chasing the ukraine,

a gravy train and get back on the wagon. i don't know. i mean, i'm like, oh, yeah, you're reading from, you know, black's mom, of course i agree from look at his background. right. i mean, he is a, it doesn't matter. all right. the point is, why did he also that video? why did he, what i say with contest? ah, yeah, i stand behind a, you know, i love, i love you. trainees. i'm here. i'm risking my life. you can keep trying maximum is all i me he's but i've, i've so didn't with my see no, no one on that ukrainians have no problem with that video because because they know that the nature of russian disinformation and that, and, and so you know, but the point is, you don't support a side by simply spouting propaganda. you've got to be honest, i'm saying with united states, you just talk to me about what i write in my book, where i criticize my own administration, my country's administration. this is the healthy aspect of a democracy. all right,

ukraine isn't a model of the united states is mercy. that's i bring in about a context for you hear the video that are out. andrew melbourne was discussing with a host of going on the ground was actually part of his recent interview on the team house podcast, where he showed his experience on working in ukraine. the montague group found a denounced corruption in t f and said he is actually quote, not a fan of ukraine. it's a corrupt of society. the let you know. so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like, i have to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no, because it's i understand that plenty of people running ukraine and the cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p o. w 's is by lady laura.

laura vom conflict will open out to a independent journalist, maxim blumenthal who reposed at the previous video and twitter. he spoke about the talk group director and the latter's claims that his comments were taken out of context. i don't know what could have been manipulated or taken out of context there. and as i said, i included a link to the full discussion which includes many more unguarded and incriminating comments that andy milburn made under the obvious, clear influence of the true serum known as whiskey and retired colonel andy milburn was speaking to an american channel. and his comments or publicized on twitter by an american journalist, the person you see right here. and it was, they were viewed by a 1000000 people, mostly people in the west, outside russia, and scrutinized by them. and those comments were conveyed accurately, clearly,

and without manipulation or distortion. what's more, i linked to the complete conversation he had with 2 american interviewers. so for him to call it russian propaganda must mean, maybe he's referring to a brand of whiskey called russian propaganda. although i think he was getting intoxicated off buffalo trace and left roy act the reason andy milburn is so reluctant to acknowledge that he said what he in fact did. and what i publicized before a twitter audience in a video that now has close to 1000000 views, is because it affects his paycheck. he is relying on the ukranian state and the ukranian military to provide him with lucrative contracts. and when they hear him say that for him, it's not about ukraine, because this is a sick society that he doesn't re truly believe in ukraine. that he thinks that its

soldiers are actually war criminals. they will no longer want to work with him. and so this is costing andy milburn business and war is a business for andy milburn and many other people in ukraine. well, the mozart group is a private military company that says that trains ukrainian soldiers are rescues civilians and distribute aid. it's members say they haven't actually been involved in fighting on the frontline. recently, the mozart group c, e o denied claims that a the company is looking to expand its presence in conflict areas. our journalists, max blumenthal again, says the mozart group essentially is just made up of mercenaries. the problem here for andy melbourne is that he offended his so called ukrainian partners, the people that he needs to justify his contracts and his paycheck. and that is why the mozart group of andy milburn pumped out a false hood late in absurd,

almost insane twitter thread in ukrainian attacking me as a russian asset. i consider it unhealthy for the mozart group, which consists of armed mercenaries, including criminal class thugs, who are recruited from the most violent elements of societies around the world, from the israel to ukraine. to be pumping out lies about me on their twitter page in ukrainian for ukrainian audience, any melbourne's mozart group falsely accused me of producing a deep fake video. when i conveyed his comments clearly with no manipulation, i strongly suggest that andy milburn stop chasing the gravy, the gravy train of ukraine aide and get back on the wagon for his own sake and for the sake of humanity. because enough people have died. so that mercenary sociopath, like andy milburn can make a profit. ah, well,

it's good to have your company full this saturday program as we begin our special coverage 20 years since the us invasion of iraq, which left hundreds of thousands of people dead throughout the coming months will examine the devastation and basically the, the destabilization to cost all across the middle east. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great. how we with with

it was our january, 2000 or 3 us president george w bush outlined the invasion of iraq and his state of the union address, bush cold. saddam hussein, a brutal dictator connected to terrorism, posing a direct threat to america. he pledge to disarm hussein and bring freedom to be iraqis as something america was already doing in afghanistan, kate of iraq is not disarming. to the contrary. he is deceiving from intelligent sources. we know, for instance, that thousands of iraqi security personnel are at work hiding documents and materials from the un inspectors sanitizing inspection sites and monitoring the inspectors themselves. if saddam hussein does not fully disarm for

the safety of our people and for the peace of the world, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. later it turned out that saddam hussein did not have circled weapons of mass destruction program and what triggered the american invasion of iraq, appear to be what many and ended up calling just a pack of lies. well, the cia top weapons inspector in iraq posed the investigation, finding nothing in 2005, 2 years after the invasion. the u. s. war in iraq began on the 19th of march, 2003, the u. s. joined by its allies, launched operation. iraqi freedom, the operation of the coalition. i was to say it started a bombing campaign against the rocky government and the military, despite months of enormous anti will protest worldwide. a u. s. force is invaded iraq from kuwait in the south within 3 days. and then, of course, well, a few weeks into it all by dad fell. now the years of war and the subsequent rise of terrorism, of course, have taken

a grim toll on iraq. and it's people that were at least 180000 documented civilian deaths in the country. or some surveys estimate the actual figure closer to a 1000000. most iraqis died from bombings, shillings and suicide attacks. of a 9000000 people either fled over displaced the war. scott, the lives of many iraqis who shed some of their stories with us. ah, michelle and i left the streets were packed with barriers and tunnels. i remember it well. baghdad became a battlefield tanks and security forces of all kinds of them deployed there. wow. i out now, so yeah, they are live became a live in health because as a child you're supposed to see beautiful things. but we so bullets tanks and kind of tear for humanity, children and society as

a whole. there was nothing but war. oh, most of the families last members and i lost one of my brothers because of the bomb banks. the americans were killing everything in front of them. i know that here with one of my sons wanted to celebrate his success with his studies. so my wife gave him money to buy some junk food in the town with his friends, and they sat to eat and they were an american base. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot as if up, my friends were killed by the explosion at that time. my neighbor was killed by the americans, but he was going to buy a kenneth cook and guess they thought he was a suicide bomber and kill him. or love pay the crowd chrisala these are very difficult memories for me. a mortar shall fell at the door of our house and killed one of my playmates. ah!

no sucking about that want police to live in bagdad. our dreams were shattered. we wished to complete our studies that we cannot because of the war and the killings in the streets. we had to leave our homes and go to the north a place a with while i mentioned that, but i do with up the top, we were in baghdad. we stayed at home and closed the windows, covered them with blankets. we were afraid of a chemical bombardment. we saw america come to us. they told us that a rock would become a paradise. they published news about how they were distributing food, but those were all false dreams. a. and only after i turned 14 years old, was i able to leave the house with my friends before that i couldn't even think about it. i was afraid something would happen outside. and even now i don't want to leave without telling my family where i'm going. mm

. let got it. oh, what do you want? what do you remember my 1st day of the kindergarten? the thursday i tell a mattress cool. the textbooks shall picture some, a full my regime, but they took them away and gave us new different books. i'll now forget the coal sop of a bullet. the sound of an explosion. even just a smoke, an american soldier, alive, full of blood. let me shine jaw, avoid. the americans arrested my father. he did not belong to any party. he was working at the market. he was kept in prison until 2018. i didn't have a chance to know my father. after he was released, his health deteriorated. we took him to germany for treatment, but up to 4 surgeries, he died. ah, a little you may say to me your childhood was stolen and i didn't have

a childhood. i spend and among war and terrorist organizations, such as on k that among slaughter, americans bombing that kinda and kinda bowman americans. when we went to school, i used to walk along the wall so as not to be shot and killed. ah, the alaska, i lost my though, my cousin, my brother in law. unfortunately, the americans did not fulfill the promise you hope to rock because of your last my loved ones. you hold as a lot. i didn't want to either the united states, you destroyed iraq. you, we can national sovereignty. and over 20 years, you fail to manage a rock. i wouldn't probably gonna stop destroying stuff, control the national resources, let the rocky people leave in peace. but

without suffering, i might have actually been avoided. if washington had not actually rejected the negotiation conditions offered by saddam hussein's government in january 2003, yet the masterminds behind the iraq war apparently didn't see that as part of the plan. let's handed over to a correspondent steve suite. 20 years ago. us president george w bush tried to convince the world the iraqi leader, saddam hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction. and that he had the evidence to prove it. the phrase w. m. d entered the lexical with politicians, repeating it over and over again, despite in fact, knowing that they didn't actually exist in iraq as the own intelligence services told them. while un weapons inspectors also said that they found no evidence of w. m days. none of doors turned up with just mess distraction and you've been surprised and said you were surprised that that was the case. do you believe the information i gave you was good information to be got. i got a good many. a tip says 2 sites to go to and we went to many of them,

but and only on 3 of those cases did they find anything and, and none of these cases was left us on last destruction. so that shook maybe i meant more beating the drums of war. washington ignored loft hfs by iraq to negotiate for peace. the effort began in january of 2003 in which they contacted us . and through my intermediary friend, he was asked by the syrians to go to baghdad, get conditional terms from saddam hussein and the intelligence and the iraqi intelligence at the time. and he brought them out and sent them to me as conditions that saddam hussein would agree to if the united states did not attack to this, there were 6 conditions, 2 of which we could have implemented immediately to test ah, ah,

the, the, the seriousness of their of their proposals, one was we would be allowed to take the allow $5000.00 you us troops to go into iraq and look for weapons of mass destruction. there was talk at high levels, almost terms because i turned them, turned them over to the secretaries office. and, and was it basically the intermediary? well, they decided to launch the attack on and in march of 2003. so who were the architects of the invasion? well, it's a long list. first to politicians. a no, no, only president george w bush, the day before the 2003 state of the union address. u. s. secretary of state colin powell said the old options were on the table including military intervention. one rack is in material breach 2, this is their last chance there have to be serious consequences and those serious

consequences map the use of force. and you've heard me say that repeatedly, repeatedly. i've also said that if the international community to the un when the time comes, does not wish to use force the united states reserves, it's right as a sovereign nation to make a judgment within this. this clear record of violation to use force alongside a like minded nations who might wish to be part of such a coalition. back in 2002 us vice president dick cheney had his eyes on regime change in iraq. with our health a liberated iraq can be a great nation. once again. a rack is rich, a natural resources and human talent, and has unlimited potential for a peaceful, prosperous future. our goal would be in iraq that as territorial integrity, a government that has a demo craddick and pluralistic a nation where the human race of every ethnic and religious group are recognized and protected in that troubled land. all who seek justice and dignity.

and the chance to live their own lives can know they have a friend and ally in the united states of america. then of course came the media, which was crucial during efforts to build public support for war. pushing the narrative on saddam and wm days. in september 2002, the york times america's newspaper of record went big on a sensational story, claiming a rack was trying to get its hands on nuclear weapons. more than a decade after saddam hussein agreed to give up weapons of mass destruction. iraq has stepped up its quest for nuclear weapons and has embarked on a worldwide hunt for materials to make an atomic bomb, but counter to all good journalistic practice. the only source was an anonymous one . the whole story could be made up. and guess what? there was drums beating there and, and there were, we had the agency out over there,

it ca saying there's debbie m d. i personally believe to this day basically set up george bush for failure. knowing that there was no w m d, they knew it, they knew it, and they had one source that proved later to be unreliable. we presented all the information that we had, all the and, and, and, and with the hope that we could prevent a war. again, not knowing at that time, that there were all terrier motives. so it was just a matter of time before the u. s. unleashed it's shocking or bombing campaign, while across the pond. british prime minister, tony blair, also so will decay for war on ally the now infamous dodgy dossier, which claim sams nonexistent, w. m. d's could attack the country in 45 minutes. the intelligence picture they paint is one accumulated over the last 4 years. it is expensive, detailed,

and authoritative. it concludes that iraq has chemical and biological weapons. that sedan has continued to produce them. that he has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes, including against his own chia population. so who's to to benefit from it all the most? well, before the 2003 invasion, iraq's domestic oil industry was fully nationalized and close to western companies . to decades later, it is largely privatized and dominated by foreign firms, which have right in billions to understand the dynamics that are going on in the middle east. and of course, it's about oil. it's very much about oil, and we can't, we can't really deny that. i'm saddened that it's politically inconvenient to acknowledge what every one knows. the iraq war is largely about oil. people say we're not fighting for oil. of course,

we are hardly surprising since oil companies spent big bucks getting formal oil, mom bush and former halliburton, c o dick shady into office in the 1st place. private military contractors also saw their profit saw at war prove to be a boom for the arms industry with lockheed martin saying a 47 percent increase in profits during the build up to the invasion, which continued throughout the occupation. 2 decades on an iraq remains in tatters with sectarian, our militia running a mock and deep political instability, with a war blame for the rise of islamic state and other global g had his groups and calls for george w bush and tony blair to be tried as war criminals still unanswered as they enjoy the patronage of the lease that they help profit from the war launched on a lie. just some of the stories from what was a decades long cough. it is remark in 20.
