a system attack using usps. usps made and supplied high mas missiles and targeting a local hospital. in the no, i doubt of which is about 40 minutes drive to the to the north of us. of the hospital was staffed by both civilians and military doctors and also treated both a local local population. this was the local clinic, after all, as well as troops injured in the fighting on the front lines and taken there for further treatment. the attack left 14 people dead from what we understand 24 inch of those numbers may well rise up. we're, we're keeping up to date with information from the russian ministry of defense. but there's also be another strike concurrently targeting a medical facility in nowhere kafka, which is all the way in camps on region. the city of nowhere kafka has been under

endless ukrainian, chilling for the, for the past months and the cheeses, again shelling that facility had been struck before. but again, we're, we, we don't yet know about casualties. injure injuries udette's. unlike in novi, dot of which the russian side has already called the incident, a war crime saying that those responsible those warded the strike, carried out the strike will be identified and will be punished or that is on the i break in utah. international are senior correspondent moran gazda. yes, thank you. well clashes erupt and east jerusalem next to the house of a 13 year old shooter who wounded 2 people in the city. today that is a cord into israeli police, a palestinian residence confronted israeli police forces as they operated around the boy's house. the gunman was wounded and apprehended by authorities off re open fire in an eastern part of the city. and this comes off, the 9 palestinians were killed in the west bank,

janine refugee camp by israeli forces 2 days ago. according to a local official previously 7 people were killed and several others wounded in a mass shooting at a synagogue in jerusalem. or the incident occurred on international holocaust remembrance that israeli police of id that gunman is a 21 year old resident of the palestinian territory of east jerusalem. authorities describe that incident as a terror attack and said the perpetrator was killed in a shoot out with police. well, we brought all this up with a journalist and government comment a man or. and he says that such attacks in jerusalem. and yet another instance of the unending violence between israelis and palestinians. there is shad this cycle 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 horizon for the palestinians on there, the government. on the contrary, the key players in this government such as the police are now we've got 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 regardless of the explorations and brother bill on bank the aside. he is not calling the shots at least not yet. protesters have taken to the streets of the german capital anger to the government's decision to send leopard tanks to ukraine ness cross live

there now and find out details on this to our tea corresponded. we go to dominic rice shot, he's joining us here on the program dominant. good to see you bring us up to speed now. looks like you got a lot of people behind you that exactly what's happening, where you are. it's a pretty, it's a piece of protest right here in berlin. people are taking to the streets at their, against the delivery of the layer part to combat tank to ukraine, as well as all other kinds of weapon deliveries to ukraine effect. those people saw that people here are demanding an immediate cease fire, as well as peace talk, so that they, they are against the aggressive foreign policy that germany is taking. currently they want a very diplomatic approach, very peaceful approach. there are a few 100 people here today, a one might expect more to be on the streets actually, because polls indicate that around half of the german population is strictly against weapon deliveries. but there are 2 major reasons why we're not seeing that

many people on the streets in germany yet. one is that this is organized by a small party that is mostly come out of the covert protest of people who were in the past against a covert measures mostly and now also protest the weapon deliveries. and this is one of many smaller groups in germany that, that protest against these policies. there are other right leaning or a left leaning groups. and they, they seem to be all sort of cooking their, their own separate tea instead of standing together against the delivery of weapons . but the 2nd and even more important reason why they're not that many people is that there's a lot of pressure actually on peace activists. in germany right now, just a couple of days, we found out that a peace activist was prosecuted for saying basically that in a war like this, all sides need to be hurt. and this was a scene as a supporting russian aggression by german authorities. and he was therefore

prosecuted, so there's a lot of a fear as well among the german people to, to protest against these issues. but nevertheless, we're looking at the new nika, security council, next week, where a lot of a key and ne, to official, it's come together. and we are expecting to see a large protest there with at least a several 1000 people joining it. all right, my sister channel artie deutsch shot correspondent dominic that i shot. thank you. liz could have your company as we are marking 20 years now since the u. s. invasion of iraq at r t. now with beginning our special coverage throughout the next couple of months, we'll examine the devastation and ultimately the destabilization caused all throughout the middle east region. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq,

to free people. and to defend the world from great how we with with january 2003 and us president george w bush outlined the invasion of iraq and his state of the union address. he called the iraqi leader, saddam hussein, a brutal dictator with ties to terra, posing a direct threat to the united states. he pledged to disarm hussein and bring

freedom to the iraqi people. something that was already being done by america in afghanistan. dictator rack 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. he'll remember later, it turned out, but a hussain started. moutain did not have the so called weapons of mass destruction program that walk into insisted that it had back then. so it was march of 2003 when the us and its allies launched operation. iraqi freedom coalition started bombing,

or iraqi government and military installations. despite months of enormous anti will protest, worldwide, u. s. forces invaded from q weight within days, and then 3 weeks into the invasion, baghdad fell of a sea ice top weapons inspect the in iraq. finally closed the w. m. d, investigation finding nothing in 2005, but that was already 2 years after the whole invasion. well, you can imagine the years of war in the subsequent rise of terrorism, certainly taking a grim toll on iraq. and it's people are they were at least a $180000.00 documented civilian deaths in the country. some subways putting the number much closer to 1000000. many, those died from bombing shillings gunshots and suicide attacks. 9000000 federal displaced. and the u. s. that coalition last almost 5000 soldiers of its own. of course, you can imagine the war scott, the lives of many iraqis, and some of them share their stories with us.

ah, has had a michelle at either. 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. they're high up now, so yeah, they are live, became a living. hell, because as a child, you're supposed to see beautiful things, but we so bullets tags and canada, tara, 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 ended 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 and eat out with his friends,

and they sat to eat. they were an american bass. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot live off. my friends were killed by the explosion at that time. my neighbor was killed by the americans where he was going to buy a kenneth could can guess. they thought he was a suicide bomber and kill him, or love, hear 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, nothing about the police to live in bagdad. our dreams were shattered. we wished to complete our studies that we could not because of the war and the killings in the streets. we had to leave our homes and go to the north a little while i mentioned that, but i do with up the top,

we were in baghdad who 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. mm got it. what do you want for you to remember my thursday at the kindergarten? the thursday i tell a mattress cold, the textbooks shall picture the summer full my regime. but they took them away and gave us new different books. i'll never forget the coal sop of a bullet. the sound of an explosion, even just a smoke, an american soldier,

a life full of blood. already showing joe where 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, ah, good little you may say to me, your childhood was stolen and i didn't have a child food. i spend the money war and terrorist organizations, such as anti that among slaughter americans bombing that kinda had 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 fellows though my cousin, my brother in law. unfortunately, the americans did not fulfill the promise. you whoa to rock because of your lost my loved ones. you hold has a lot on it. i didn't when i 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 that we got here stop destroying stuff control in us now let me so says let the rocky people leave in peace and all that suffering and hard break might have easily been avoided. if indeed, washington had not rejected the negotiation conditions that were actually offered by saddam hussein's government, back in january, 2003. sure a lot more. it's all, it's a steep sweeney. 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 and knowing that they didn't actually exist in iraq as their own intelligence services told them. while you and weapons inspectors also said that they found no evidence of w. m days. none of dar's turned up with ins of mass distraction and you've been surprised and said you were surprised that that was the case. do you believe the information that 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 and only, and 3 of those cases the, the find in the thing and in none of these cases was left us on mass destruction. so that shook maybe i met and while beating the drums of war, washington ignored last 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 while 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 states 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 for have to be serious consequences. and those serious consequences met 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 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 americas newspaper of record went big on a sensational story,

claiming a rock 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 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 so will decay for war on ally the now infamous doughty dozier, which claim sam's nonexistent. w m days 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 shia population. so who's to to benefit from 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 rack war is largely about oil. people say we're not fighting for oil. of course, we are hardly surprising since oil companies spend big bucks getting form oil, mom bush and former halliburton. c o dick shady into office in the 1st place. private military contractors also saw their profit, saw a war, proved to be a boom for the arms industry with lockheed martin seeing 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 elite that they help profit from the war launched on a lie. we're just a small sampling there, just some of the stories from what was a decades long conflict here at r t will be bringing you more throughout the next couple of months. our special coverage of the 20th anniversary of one of america's longest was ah, a 74 year old man has been arrested in spain on accusations of sending explosive devices to the spanish prime minister as well as to the u. s. and ukrainian

embassies last year. at this, as the new york times claimed, the suspect was directed by russian intelligence that says the opinion and taken all of this without a 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 u. s. embassies and spain, to spanish prime minister, a pet or a 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, pompei oakland salis 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 mail just absolutely damning evidence of a sure fire flight risk to russia. looks with 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 may be investigators also found that is 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 u. s. 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 our t. sputnik news. and also, while the spanish language digital, these paper on weapons case closed. right. another thing that came out in the hearing is that authorities alleged that this guy acted a lung. someone might want to tell the new york times, which already went to print last week with the headline, suggesting that russian agents are directing right wingers to send the mail bombs in spain. wow, who story bro. the russian embassy in spain basically rolled its eyes in response,

the main summary of the fabricated article, russian asian suspected of directing far ride group to mail bombs and 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. there's a rachel moss and wrapping up his hours live broadcast from moscow, from the rural re sushi and the entire news him thank you for joining us. it was program from the headquarters of arte international. my colleague, unit o'neill is here at the desk in about half an hour time. i do hope you can join
