a 13 year old resident of jerusalem has been identified as a shooter in an attack that wounded to people in the city today that's according to police. the gunman was wounded and apprehended by authorities offer opened fire in the eastern part of the city. now this all comes off, the 9 palestinians were killed in the west bank. jeanine refugee camp by it's ready forces 2 days ago, according to local reports, the latest shooter is believe to have wounded at least 2 people. that incident, occurring just outside the ancient walls of the old city was still getting details as phil fielding the information incoming here with national and moscow. we will get more details to you in the very near future. previously, several people were killed and several others wounded in a mass shooting at a sinner golf in jerusalem. the incident occurred on international holocaust remembrance israeli police of identify that gunman is a 21 year old resident of the palestinian territory of east jerusalem authorities.

describing that incident as a tower attack, saying the perpetrator was killed in a shoot out with police. we discussed all of this with john list and government commentator. i mean, oren. now he says that such attacks in jerusalem and yet another instance of the, an ending violence between both the israel and palestine. there is shad this cycle of violence. unfortunately it is true. but if you look at the strategic context, if you look at the overall envelope, obviously there is no political rights for the palestinians under the government. on the contrary, the key players in this government such as the police are now we've called the national security minister bank fear 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 bolted patrol personally, the regardless of declarations. and so on bank the side, he's not calling the shots at least not yet. a 74 year old man has been arrested in spain, non accusations of sending explosive devices to the spanish prime minister, as well as the ukrainian and u. s embassy. last year. this as the new york times earlier claimed, the suspect was directed by russian intelligence. let's get some more on this now without the contributor. rachel must a 74 year old spanish man who appeared in a madrid court on thursday is now formally being probed on charges of terrorism and aggravated terrorism. accused of sending explosive parcels to the ukrainian and us

embassies and spain, to spanish prime minister pedro sanchez's office. to the spanish defense ministry to an air force base and also to a weapons manufacturer. this is all in november and december of last year. now, the judge ordered him detained on fear that, ah, pompeo, gonzalez, pasquale could flee to russia. so what ties to russia did the judge site to support that suspicion? well, the fact that he was a user of russia's facebook like social media site called v k. and the swiss encrypted email service proton now just absolutely damning evidence of a sure fire flight risk to russia. look swiss email platforms aren't like swiss banks. it's not like people stock their e mails there because they're getting ready to flee the country. and v k is actually kind of where a lot of westerners go now when they're fed up with facebook censorship. maybe

investigators also found that his other ties to russia include the fact that he likes to play chess and watches hockey on tv. the judge alleged that the suspect intended to alter the public peace and to hinder spanish and us support for ukraine . there was an objective to seriously disturb public order by transmitting the message that we're facing actions carried out by people linked to russia as a repression of the interests of spain and the united states. as a consequence of support for ukraine in the face of the russian occupation, such as forcing the public powers of our country to refrain from the support shown in favor of ukraine in the face of russian aggression. okay, so what's the corroborating evidence to back up this presumed motive of allegedly wanting to deter support for ukraine? according to the judge? well, the suspects browser history,

his internet history included visits to russian length new sites including r t specific news. and also, while the spanish language, digital newspaper, on weapons case closed. right. another thing that came out in the hearing is that authorities alleged that this guy acted alone. someone might want to tell the new york times, which already went to print last week with the headlines suggesting that russian agents are directing right wingers to send the mail bombs in spain. wow, cool story, bro. the russian embassy in spain basically rolled its eyes in response, the main summary of the fabricated article. russian agents suspected of directing for a ride group to mail bombs in spain. from the u. s. newspaper. the new york times is american, and european officials believe that the russian military intelligence service is culpable. the energy applied by the press to disseminate this is striking, even though does not contain a single piece of evidence. regardless of what the facts actually are,

in this particular case, apparently there isn't too much of an interest in waiting around for them to make an appearance, a trial before deciding that whatever happened here and whatever the truth really is. rushes nonetheless to blame. so it has been 20 years since the u. s. invasion of iraq and here at r t, we are beginning on special coverage throughout the coming months. we'll examine the devastation on the destabilization, of course, essentially throughout the entire middle east region. 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 january 2003 u. s. president george w bush outlined the invasion of iraq in his state of the union address. he called iraqi leader saddam hussein, a brutal dictator with ties to tara, posing a direct threat to the united states. he pledged to disarm hussein and bring freedom to the iraqi people. something the u. s. was already a doing in afghanistan. kate of iraq is not disarming. to the contrary. he is deceiving from intelligence 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. until later it turned out that saddam hussein did not have the so called weapons of mass destruction program. but washington insisted it did have back then. so it was march of 2003 when the us and its allies launch operation iraqi freedom. the coalition started a bombing campaign against iraqi government and military installations. despite months of colossal anti will protests, world wide. u. s. forces with its allies invaded iraq from kuwait within days. and just 3 weeks into the invasion. baghdad fell on the sea ice top weapons inspector in iraq. finally closed the w. m. d. investigation,

finding nothing in 2005 though that was 2 full years after the innovation. now, the years of war and the subsequent rise of terrorism, certainly taking a grim toll on a rock and its people. they were at least a $180000.00 documented civilian deaths in the country. some surveys put the number much closer to 1000000. many of those died from bombing shelling suicide attacks. 9000000 either fled or what displaced. the u. s. that coalition lost almost 5000 of its own soldiers and the war scott, the lives of many locals and iraq. he's essentially some of them share their stories with us. oh, michelle at 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. oh wow . now yeah, they are live, became a living health because as a child you're supposed to see beautiful things, but we saw bullets tags 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 and it, one of my sons wanted to celebrate his success with his studies. so my wife gave him money to buy some junk food and eat out with his friends, and they sat to eat and they were an american bass. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot as if all 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,

hear the crowd queer somebody 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 the 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 ladder to 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. 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. mm. got it. oh, what do you want? what do you remember my 1st day at the kindergarten? the 1st day 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, a life full of blood. i know many showing jo away, 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. but 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 child food. i spend in the month war and terrorist organizations such as r k that among slaughter americans bombing that kinda and kinda bowman americans. when we went to school, i used to walk along the wolf so as not to be shot and killed. ah, the last half i lost my though, my cousin, my brother in law. unfortunately, the americans did not fulfill the promise you ho to rock because of your last my loved ones. you hold as a lot. i wouldn't hurry. i didn't want to had the united states. you destroyed iraq, you, we can national sovereignty. and over 20 years you fail to manage

a rock. i wouldn't think that will stop destroying stuff, control the national resources, let the rocky people leave in peace. i blow that suffering and heart break might have actually been avoided if washington had not rejected the negotiation conditions that were actually offered by saddam hussein's government. in january, 2003 aussies, steve sweeney. now picking up the story. 20 years ago us president george w bush trying to convince the world the iraqi leader, saddam hussein with 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 their own intelligence services told them while un weapons inspectors also said that they found no evidence of

w. m days. none of dies turned up with ins of mass distraction and you've been surprised and then 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 trip sess, 2 sites to go to and we went to many of them, but only in 3 of those cases the, the find anything and in none of these cases was his weapons, last destruction. so that shook maybe if 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 the, the seriousness of their, of their proposals. one was we would be allowed to take to allow $5000.00 us troops to go into iraq and look for weapons of mass destruction. there was talk at high levels, all those 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 it 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 to this is their last chance there have to be serious consequences and those serious consequences. matthews 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 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. iraq as rich a natural resources and human talent and has unlimited potential for a peaceful, prosperous future. our goal would be interacted as territorial integrity,

a government that is democratic and pluralistic a nation where the human rights 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 wool. 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 count to all good

journalistic practice. the only source was an anonymous one. the whole story could have been made up. and guess what? there was drums beating there and, and there were, we had the agency over there ca saying there is 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 sold a case for war on a lie, the now infamous doughty dossier,

which claim saddam's 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 extensive, detailed, and authoritative. it concludes that iraq has chemical and biological weapons that saddam 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 loudly 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 rack war is largely about oil. people say we're not fighting for oil. of course, we are hardly surprising since the oil companies spent big bucks getting formal oil . ma'am bush and former halliburton, c o dick shady into office in the 1st place. private military contractors also sold 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 to decades on an iraq remains in tatters with sectarian militia running a mock and deep political instability, with a war blame for the rise of islamic state and other global g. how these 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 ally get a small sampling there of some of the stories from what was a decades long conflict and here at r t will be bringing you more throughout the next couple of months and our special coverage of the 20th anniversary of what was one of america's longest wars. ah, let's get straight back to our breaking news coverage for you this hour as we understand. the latest numbers are 14 people have been killed. 20 full wounded as a ukrainian attack. hits a hospital in the look on square public using american supplied rockets. it's all according to russia's ministry of defense, which brands the attack? a grave wall crime. so that's cross live right now to the la guns republican artists senior correspondent marquez to have joining us here to update us on the
