0 yeah, to go to whatever you're dealing with, you have to go through the origin of the problems and started. you cannot be very selective. use justice as a political instrument when justice or use of the instrument, there will be no justice. the us even has a law that allows its president to order an invasion of the hague. if the icpc tries to bring americans into the dog. where does that leave the course international standing? do you think? what president, you're talking about? for example, late president bush, during the war in iraq. he was a very meticulous statesman. he had a very huge rolodex and he called all the world leaders. and they created a consensus of historic consensus. i remember that he's

no longer alive, just to judge grades and i started consensus and everybody goes on board with them . even russia was with him when they went to iraq. although russia did not participate, but russia did not object. many countries were on board because he approached them. what present it was he up started this war without consensus when wars are unfortunately, i have to say this when war start there, there's a consensus. they become just wars. fortunately and my view, there's really just war. but today's world has created that when you create that war, because just and more that started, i guess ukraine,

although you know russians it both committed atrocities and again, some i don't, i don't differentiate between this war started without major consensus. that's why the west is now that we've seen the west and will be so intensely focused on helping ukraine over the past year. whereas a less countries like house down the stone, which is still desperately in need of international aid to recover from the aftermath of 20 years of us occupation. i think we have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time while the water ukraine has to south people are dying, human beings are losing their lives. and their country, of course, is, is at risk of losing its sovereignty. but that we should not forget

what is happening is up against women children to human rights to, to poverty. all of these things this world has the ability to do all with all of these kinds of simultaneously cannot allow one approach to wait. so we can resolve the other one. we have to deal with everything, you know, because larger problems are well waiting if the major poverty in the world inequality, environmental issues. major threats are awaiting human time. where are you at these more things, trying to divide your brain us and try to talk about who will win this war? why you're re to lose the major awards. so many thanks for speaking to us today. we really appreciate your thoughts and your insight into the matter. don't sultan's

only former of couple. thank you. ah, now they disastrous war in iraq, which left a trail of destruction on the reported 1000000 people dead is coming up on his grim 20th anniversary. we're bringing to you on special coverage of the conflicts that through the oil rich country into chaos and destabilize the region for many years to come. with 20 years ago to the day george w bush made the decision to oust then iraq healy to saddam hussein by force saying he had to give up power and leave the country or face attack by thousands of us and allied troops. saddam hussein and his sons must leave iraq within 48 hours. their refusal to do so will result in military conflict

commenced at a time of our choosing. should saddam hussein choose confrontation? the american people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war. and every measure will be taken to win it. or despite george bush's promise to take every measure, to avoid war, his ultimate decision to invade iraq through the country on the white, a region into chaos, to space, millions and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. us invaded a walk on the pretext of stopping the danger from its alleged weapons of mass destruction thing peaceful attempts to disarm box dance had failed. thus, despite un inspectors reporting no evidence of weapons in iraq, george bush's ultimatum came out of the u. s. u k. and spain signed a joint draft resolution seeking military action. but 2 days later, the us and its allies a talked about without un approval. the while the is better off

without saddam in power. george bush's words were boxed by former british prime minister, tony blair, driven by desire for regime change and the u. k. decided to join us for then toppling the iraqi government and unleashing chaos in the country. as he's marina closer with picks up the story 20 years after the us led invasion of iraq and one question remains could have been prevented. while the answer seems to be no, because it was the plan all along after $911.00, it was payback time for america. and the hunt for state sponsors of terrorism was on. after i've gone the stone, iraq became the next target. and the british prime minister, tony blair, became george bush's accomplice. all that was missing was an excuse to invade. well, here in the declassified letter, we can see how blair tells bush that he's with him no matter what,

as in to support him in removing saddam hussein from power. i will be with you. what's heather getting rid of saddam is the right thing to do. he's a potential threat he could be contained in another secret memo were told that the pair were concocting a p r campaign on how to sell the iraq war. an entire year before the us invaded to pay him said we needed an accompanying payoff strategy that highlighted the risks of saddam's w m. d program. and his appalling human rights record, bush strongly agreed to pay him said this approach would be important in managing european public opinion. and in helping the president constructs an international coalition, the p. m said no one could doubt the world would be a better place if there were a regime change in iraq. what's war? they had a strategy in case that saddam hussein actually gave you an weapons inspectors free

reign to check on everything. the p. m. late a commented to me privately that had spoken again to bush about the issue of un inspectors. bush and acknowledged that there was just a possibility that saddam would allow them in and go about their own business. if that happened, we would have to adjust our approach accordingly. so they didn't even want full transparency. that is pretended. so wanted, hoping iraq's leader would say no, and that would be enough to topple him. well, september 2002, tony blair's infamous claim. the intelligence, the picture they paint is one accumulated over the last 4 years. it is extensive detail and authority. 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. 45 minutes really sounds fake.

well, it turned out to be, which was confirmed by british weapons expert dr. kelly to a b. b, c, journalist, it was transformed in the week before it was published to make it 6 here. the classic example was the claim that weapons of mass destruction were ready for use within 45 minutes. that information was not in the original draft. it was included in the dorsey against our wishes, because it wasn't reliable. most of the things in the dossier were double sauced, but that was single sauced and we believe that the sauce was wrong. this fiasco even made it to the parliamentary hearings, which is where doctor kelly's name was revealed as he was asked to give evidence on what he knew. 2 days later, the man who set the british government sec, stop iraq's w m d. dosier was found dead and 10 years after saddam hussein was hang,

they rock inquiry known as a chill cut report revealed that the so called the rocky dictator, posed no eminent threats at the time of the invasion. and that the war was fought on the basis of flawed intelligence. the spotlight was now put on george bush and tony blair, with some calling for the pair to be prosecuted and even take in their case, took courts. saddam hussein had known posed an immediate threat to the interest of the k. the intelligence regarding the weapons of mass destructions was presented with unwarranted sentence. he, the invasion was not necessary and the invasion had been undertaken without the authority of the one security council. what's the attempts made to prosecute mister blair failed? as the u. k. court ruled that there exists no crime under english law, which the former prime minister could be charged with. and the international criminal court said that the decision he made to go to war in 2003 is beyond ever

met of investigations. and that's it. i apologize for the fact that the intelligence we received was, was wrong. the program in the form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that we thought over a 100000 civilian rockies killed. many more displaced, british and american soldiers dead for no apparent reason. and this is what they get. oops, sorry about that. and what was the plan for the contract actor saddam hussein? well, they didn't care, as was revealed in a secret memo, ands of war, that they care about iraq's oil reserves, and they were discussing it before the war even began declassified documents states that the british government was encouraged to start preliminary work to ensure you k companies are well placed to pick up contracts in the aftermath of the war.

by way of specific follow up, we should convene a meeting with b, p shell, and other appropriate u. k. companies, whether together or separately to explore ideas and tap into the expertise, we would need to handle this carefully and assure it was confidential to avoid charges of oil motivations. so preliminary work to ensure you k companies well place to pick up contracts. in the aftermath. this is all in the public domain. it's been 20 years and still no one has been held accountable. a country was destroyed, a president was basically assassinated and those who did it aren't behind bars. no, but lecturing others on war and peace. the bad guys bought away, unbelievable velocity continue this special coverage of the legacy of the u. s. left in iraq off to the unquote invasion later throughout the day. so do stay with us for that 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. a with food and sleep with roxanne harcum once again made the headlines of western media, which now alleges the most go regularly holds cyber attacks on ukraine as, according to microsoft and its latest reports, a tech company claims that russia has deployed at least 9 malware programs which

have targeted over 100 ukrainian, governmental and private sector organizations with 17 european countries being named as vixens among other allegations of espionage attacks. one contributing author of the reported the in a tory as a clint watts, a former f b i. agent on the creator of the hamilton, $68.00 dash board, an organization made to track so called russian influence on twitter. as investigative journalist did not tie be revealed in his twitter falls report, the dashboard falsely labeled real uses those russian boys, claiming that they promoted conspiracy theories during trump's presidency walk sand . his latest microsoft report has some twit to use as raising their eyebrows. the new york times is credulous the citing former f. b. i official clint watts. even though journalist mets i e be exposed his scam to smear dozens of twitter uses as russian bots. thanks to his access to the twitter files single source carrying the water for the cia regarding ukraine to the new york times,

queens watts. what's played a role in russia gate? new york times pushes new false claims by debunked, propagandist, clint. what's 3 big wig reporters, julian barnes, david sanger and markson taura, continue to repeat. the baseless disinformation lies of the known anti russia propagandist. clint. what's this discuss this with television and radio has to save mounts, like many thanks for joining than a program. it's levy to see, so it saves the same american cybersecurity investigator. he promotes a bit disinformation campaign about so called russian bots. now claims russian hackers have been targeting ukraine. was your take on the story? well, i mean it's, it's how could you not have doubts when you talk about a watts and what he did in the past. of course you mentioned in the past and we know this through the twitter files. and we know this through a report is like of a micah schlumberger and match i e b. and he was part of

a group that was was called the alliance with securing democracy. and that was full of a bunch of, of obama, former obama people. john podesta clinton people, et cetera, and the, the hamilton 68 bought dash for that you referred to in that report, which was headed up, they claim to identify on social media, russian infiltrators. and what we know about the twitter confrontations and meetings between, you know, watson and twitter people when that report was presented to the folks at twitter, the heads of security, a twitter said this is bo, this isn't real. they were identifying a in lake, legitimate people who leaned to the right and they called them russian boss. and this was rud with the media, ran with the story all over the place. this is back in 2018. well, there's my you have, yes, i do says was there interesting,

isn't that considering can, was his track record of this information now the mainstream media seem to have absolutely no problem taking his latest claims seriously. well, he's, he's, he's now head of digital threat assessment. but microsoft, and he's the one who's now warning again in the, in the times be today. and it's all over it been picked up by naturally other news sources that russia is going to launch this in that against ukraine. but, but it's interesting, and this is a key point here. what are we being set up for? possibly because of might schellenberg, who i mentioned one of the key, independent journalists who testified before congress last week with a met t i. e. b, about the twitter files. he tweeted out today, are we being set up? he says, does this all sound very familiar? he said, are we being set up so that down as we go on. and anybody who opposes the war is going to be accused of being a russian bought a russian sympathizer. and it's also interesting to know with the presidential

campaign about to start the 2 republicans who have the best chance of becoming the presidential nominee. on the republican side, donald trump and run descent is the governor of florida. both have criticized the usaa continued support for ukraine to the capacity that, that it now exists. so there's all kinds of possibilities here, but you have to say are the same guy who misled and gave missed information. the 1st time is now doing it from microsoft. it just doesn't, it doesn't fly, but there's no doubt they were made it an international cyber wool right now and is definitely an information will going on as well. so just how hard is it to see through the fog of war? hey, when it comes to was true and must not. well, i think if what you mean is people see through this, i think that there are those who will see through it like like schellenberg,

like my a be in there warning people about it and making people aware. and i think what we found out in january about the original, the alliance for securing democracy and the hamilton, 68 dashboard, i think you have to learn from that. and there are people who are on the right and maybe some on the left with common sense in the media and elsewhere will say, like what, what i'm saying, wait a minute. how, how, how could this same guy be telling us, again, the same thing, and how can we really, even if we believe it deep down or we don't, how can we trust him and what the media, the mainstream media will again report it as they're doing well not question, what were questioning here, because they, it doesn't fit their narrative. and that's the same with story of the story after story. and it applies to the story as well. it kind of brings microsoft is defined as well. it doesn't, it. what's your take on microsoft's role in the story in want seen it for then?

well, again, microsoft warning their users. but again, when, when you have, when you have this man, somebody who got caught, if you will, according to the twitter files and according to how the twitter files were reported by tell you be and schellenberg that the people within twitter, when they receive this information from the report that, that, that, clint was headed up and said, this is bo, this is it, right? these people are box their people. and you know, they're legitimate, right? when people, i don't know what's going through microsoft mind, you're telling me there's nobody else that could have been at the head of digital threat assessment for this company. so that they would be taken seriously. so that could be no doubt. and when they're warned about something when they want their, their users and their clients about something the clients would say, oh ok, good. thank you. instead of really, you know, this guy. i so i, i don't know why a company would do that unless you know there, if you listen to tv and,

and you read the twitter files and what they all said, there's, you know, that the government has former agents and different things. and many, many of these companies and, and that's why that's why people don't trust a lot of them right now. that doesn't look like that might actually be some hard evidence to any of these cyber security claims against question. is there hard evidence? well, i mean, you know, i haven't, i don't know what he's presented exactly. as far as hard evidence is more of a, it's more of a warning from what i gather, that it's coming and it's in the planning stages. i don't know what proof he's shown, but again, you know, people, people even who want to believe it. and people who say they believe it, and that's fine. i mean, there's a war going on and countries will, you know, i'm not saying what's good and what's not good, but countries will do what they do in a war. but again, it what concerns me most as a, as an american and

a conservative is that this could be a set up as, as michael schellenberg or alluded to. and it's twitter postings today. setting us all up, that they will then identify people who disagree with this war and maybe disagree with some other things as russian supporters, russia box, whatever you want to call them, however they want to identify them. and that's very, very scary. thank you so much for talking to us tonight. so it's great to get your thoughts on things, television, radio, steve miles back. thank you very much. now a recent israeli raid on the city of jan in has enraged palestinians have taken to the streets in their thousands early on thursday, thousands of mona subscription into this site. what for palestinians were killed during is one of the victims of the assault with a 16 year old boy. according to the palace, city, and health ministry. 20 others were injured by gunfire. witnesses of the deli wage said what they saw and how they felt. last night we heard the sound of gunfire and

after that an empty scotto and my car exploded. my vehicle was destroyed. then the arms classes began up the open fire and the shop we were in and we were stuck hiding for more than 2 hours. then they blew up the car. they came with the nest for whom many citizens here a 6 year old boy was injured and later died. may god have mercy on him for all this were injured. these rather special forces headed to the sense of janine and surrounded it as a lead. there were more thought and clashes and they had to open fire randomly in order to escape or staying in the region a wrong on saudi arabia had discuss tons to develop a partnership off the years of rivalry with the presence of saudi arabia accusing the west of an unfair approach towards russia and palestine. none of the un security council resolutions on the israeli palestinian conflict have been implemented. there will be no sanctions against israel for its aggression against the world since $967.00. at the same time when the situation in ukraine arose,

western countries immediately impose all sorts of sanctions against russia. you are treating russia in a certain way while allowing the israelis to continue to occupy palestine and continue to do what they are doing in palestine. these are double standards is well fail, joy over all teachers were saving, inadequate salaries. that's according to protest, a cali to speak in an exclusive interview, discussing the nation wide strike of educators in palestine. so the little card that i tell did these railey governments is fully aware of this and proceeds based on these factors while they believe that palestinians don't deserve to leave, let alone have a decent life. but we are still citizens on this land, the occupation and this crisis must end without linking to political or security demands. the political and secure to situation is created by the occupation which pressures palestinian citizens. that's why the occupation is the main reason behind

this. there are happily watching our ongoing conflict caused by them, but let's be honest. the solution is not in the hands of the government, or the factions, or leaders. the solution must be to create something new well being under occupation. as for israel, the brawn given of the situation makes them feel the joy of victory over the weak fellas tinian citizens, which was suffered from for the past 80 years. the unified teaches movement has been calling a for wage increases for over a month as inflation continues to rise. the palestinian government has only been paying a partial paying parcel salaries to public sector workers since november 2021. the shortages the said to be due to the high tax payments due to israel who is share the palestinian authority can't meet the demands of 5 and a half 1000000 palestinians. i'm sorry, since our national production is barely 22 percent before the piracy, while statehood has failed at. and the resistance have failed to meet the demands

of 5 and a half 1000000 palestinians living in the west bank and gaza. i personally don't agree with the government plans as well as the teachers. they try to spoil all of our plans because these plans are made for the social and financial levels to lead onward to the political level. if the financing doesn't exist, what will happen to us, the prime minister will say he doesn't have the funds, which is true, but he should create an environment for resistance. and thanks for a company here in nazi international will be back with more of the latest in just a few minutes. ah ah ah.
