3:07 pm
they need some sorts of encouragement to do so. so there needs to be a nother mediator, not the united states, there needs to be an impartial mediator. and there then needs to be something on the table which pressures israel to give concessions, as it is the most powerful actor between the 2 sides here. so as long as the united states is the dominant, our which is claiming the position of mediator in this conflict, there can be no peace process. peace talk and the 2 state solution at this point. as facts on the ground determinant is essentially dead. i mean time violent classes of or update in the west bank over the death of a palestinian man who was on a hunger strike in israeli custody. the you can see the pictures, right? the soldiers are confronted are stone throwing protesters as we understand with rubber, bullets, pastors are wrapped in the city of ramallah. the death of the hunger striking
3:08 pm
prisoner that has exacerbated already soaring tension between israel and palestine . while the band or the excuse me, the dead man's son vowed to fulfil his father desire. that was a wish to liberate the territory of palestine. because my dad wants to overcome those who imprisoned him. that was his dream. and now he is a martyr. yes, i cheer for him from my heart when he was in prison. i loved going to demonstrations to be like my father to free him. but when he died, i felt happy because he achieved his dream. his dream was to conquer those who imprisoned him and become a martyr. he told me he wants to liberate palestine. he kept telling me, you are a lion cub. he said, make me proud and liberate palestine. while the family of the deceased prisoners re speaking to our correspondent in the region, maria finished that i had none. one of the prominence to reach a leader is of the palestinian militant grove, islamic jihad from jeanine. here,
3:09 pm
where we are now in the north. although occupied westbank died at an israeli hospital earlier on tuesday, how there are none has been on a hunger strike in the last 87 days demanded to be released from custody. israel though rejected his requests, accusing him of being involved in terror, activity, and incitement. how odd none has been in and out was really the tension in the last 25 years since he was a student. and it wasn't his 1st hunger strike. he did it 5 times in the past. the last time, however, was his longest one. early in the morning on tuesday, the israeli prison authorities have released a statement saying that there are none, refuse to undergo medical tests or receive any medical treatment. he was found unconscious in his cell, then transported to the hospital where he was pronounced. dad, a 45 year old man, how did odd, nun was a father and husband. we have been able to speak to his family super. somebody knew him. first of all, it was 86 days. there were harsh days and very painful. we felt death and pain
3:10 pm
every single day. it was also painful to see him in court, but the news of his death was the hardest. it's very hard to believe that a loved one is dead. this was his 14th arrest. all his previous arrests were based on the same allegations that he's a leader in these slamming g hot that he, this is the families of killed palestinians and goals and demonstrations that support palestinian prisoners. his last, the rest was the most brutal one. the breached and blew up the 3 entrances of the house. they brought a large number of troops with the broken damaged, lots of things, and a house search savagely. they took him without letting him say good bye to his kit . also, we were scheduled to visit him last thursday, but they denied it as well because he wasn't hunger strike. and inside the court, kids weren't allowed. even. we weren't allowed to touch him or get close to him. last day he was in court and sunday and he was there for 10 minutes. he didn't allow us to talk to him now he's dad and we wish for the resistance to continue and
3:11 pm
we supported with everything we half. i ask god for strength. but in the sub the fullest, lima we blamed the occupation because they deliberately planned and killed my brother carter. more than once. we asked through the red cross and human rights organizations to transfer carter to a civilian hospital to be treated and monitored. but they refused. every time, therefore, they have full responsibility for carters death. my brother was a person full of love for his homeland. he hated and justice loved freedom. he went through 5 hunger strikes for freedom. he is now a free person. they wanted to arrest him for 4 or 5 years and he refused because the allegations were unjust. they simply wanted to put him in prison and deprive him of his family and his homeland. he used to love people always helped people. may god have mercy on his soul. shortly after the death of her, the odd nun was announced some milton groups fired at least 3 rockies from garza to
3:12 pm
the south, an israeli communities, the body of ha that i had none is expected to be headed over to his family during the night. the funeral could attract crowds. israel is on high alert, preparing for that increasing the idea of presence in the west bank. we did have from a prism, arise representative of molina and saudi. she expressed her position and she believes that the only option, but palestinian inmates to protest as via self hom. yes. been the under administrative detention. so without charge or try in an under he could information for more than 5 times accumulating to a peers. so why the israel completion for 3? and then as part of the she had movement, they have never issued him a list of charges with dialect, kind of none, and kind of still in prison. they don't have any other means or method to caught us that are becoming detection, but using their own. bobby's hunger strikes have been and methods were punished and
3:13 pm
your prisoners use as a peaceful digital way for us. there are bitterly and harsh discussion condition. so for the 1st time in french polonaise is history. a pro independence party is now in control of the government. it does follow a landslide election. victor independence is the only way if we want to read to k, the property that it's in a way, it's our country. however, any referendum needs the approval of paris and even the most ardent of secessionist, acknowledge it could take 10 to 15 years to achieve their goal. french president manual macro and recently criticize the polynesian authorities over their plans to increase cooperation with another major player and the region back of china. france to control of the archipelago in the 19th century, ultimately monopolizing its natural resources in giving it what a strategic military presence. now during the cold war get this, it's pretty hard to believe, but it's true. france blew up
3:14 pm
a total of $41.00 nuclear weapons in the islands as part of its testing program, causing loss or damage to the environment and exposing the indigenous population to shoot doses of radiation. un security council is for the territory on a b colonization list. and called for compensation from paris, highlighting the right of its people to self determination. however, france has repeatedly refused to abide by that ruling. we can learn more, let's cross the parish now and speak the water and political analysts, nickel america, which is joining us here on our t international very will welcome to you, so thanks so much for coming on the program. what do you think of this? i mean, some people are saying it has seismic potential, but french polynesia have now put into power a pro independence party for the 1st time. do you think it could actually translate the independence for those island? well it could. this is, i think the aim of the separatist on in the french polynesia. they have said that
3:15 pm
their leader that this would not happen from monday to the other end. it would take time. indeed, as you just said, it could take maybe a decade or so. but definitely there's an idea behind the selection to maybe bring the french out when you get 10 dependents. i think also we should not overstate or underestimate the impact that had on the mental macro was quite president present in french polynesia. he went there in 2021. his allies last. so this is a new would say bad news for a manual macro who made french polynesia. one of his priority is probably 2nd zone priority, but one of his priorities. so there's a new defeat for menu macro, and there is this possibility that the independence, the separate. this may try to build a platform to gain independence in the years to come. but it may maybe not just them to me, for example, from a lot of regions with separate just sentiment, corsica, french, guyana. even brittany for goodness sake, i mean, so if french polynesia was to get its own way, is it possible that could trigger further sessions?
3:16 pm
well, of course, and the week of france is the more you will have in its peripheral origins, the will from separatist and as you said, there are it for historical reasons, separate this movement and practically all the region. the fact that they feel in these regions that parents can no longer bring them the security, the support, the well being that they used to have in france. then there is going to be a search there, a probable search as some of these movements, which will say would parents can help us out any more. we will take our destinies in our own hands, and we will do the independence. so this, there could be some sort of domino effect, even though we must much recognize that a french college anesha as new caledonia, do seem quite far for many people who are in continental france and in europe. well this, this is part of it. the distance is, is enormous here, and one of the things i wanted to ask you from has, well, continuously try to batter away chinese interest in french polynesia. nicola,
3:17 pm
what's, what's the importance to beijing of this area? well i think also we must not forget that french polynesia is a strategic military region for france has been for a nuclear ester test and it's also for the french pacific fleet. so i think that france is afraid that it's french polynesia were to become independent. then maybe it may be ruled by china, and this would counter frances. i would say military strategy, which for now is very strongly to nato. it is totally links to nato. as a matter of fact, the french n, a u. s. cruisers go throat around the pacific ocean. so i think there is this, this fear in paris that french polynesia which may have to have a strong local partner because this is, these are island economies. and we all know that it's a bit more complicated because they have to import a lot of the goods that they use,
3:18 pm
that this could push fresh public media into the arms of china. and french prime minister was also minister of the departments of the pacific. and the different items which we dr. fast date was faded himself. he said that he was afraid that french polynesia may slip into the hand of china if they were going down to separate as one of the things that is, i guess, profoundly disturbing. and maybe people don't really know too much about it, i guess. check the history books. maybe it's not even in the history books, but we understand france blew up, 41 nuclear bombs in french polynesia during the cold war, late sixties, early seventies. i mean devil's advocate here, but how would you assess the moral aspect of those tests and the responsibility the paris holes, to the indigenous people. therefore, the harm cost to the environment and the populace and generations of birth defects as well. that has created a lot of damage in the french polynesia and a lot of people. and those items resents really what friends friends did
3:19 pm
there, probably because 1st of all, there wasn't a lot of communication. we learned a lot about what happened there years after was really gonna have to really happen . harris tried to reassure every thing that there was no damage to the, to the people living there or to the environments. we know that the different test which said other ways. so i think this is really heard. and the fact that people in the french polynesia may think that they have been used as guinea pig in these tests. and the fact that paris is not communicated correctly has really heard the relationship between the french politicians and france, which had before that i would say would have been actually quite strong. even if the us has always been a separatist movement, the relationship was quite strong. and i think people in a different i of in polynesia are quite happy to be dr. friends that made a lot of damage of damage and the fact that there can be consequences also on the health of the people living infringe. polynesia on the environment also are helpful
3:20 pm
to separate, decide or saying listen, we have to manage our own. we're not, we're not going to be of this. we don't want this to be more and we can continue with the country which did this in the past. this is something that's some dependent, some separate to have said during the campaign, author and political analyst, nicola markovich, joining us live here on our team to national a great pleasure. thanks so much for your time. thank you. well, new revelations about an additional list of prominent figures who were meeting with jeffrey epstein, even after he'd been out as a sex offender house. boswell, so we say fury in the us, for example, the libertarian party accusing political elites of a moral behavior activists say the f, b i and c. i have ignored the rights of minus it has long been hypothesized that epstein was an intelligence asset, but we have moved far past the point where it requires more faith to assume he wasn't supported by our government. the f
3:21 pm
b i is halting investigations on child sexual abuse cases and the cia has a long history of using children as bargaining chips. the picture paints itself, there is no limit on the elite and morality in their pursuit of political dominance . well, this new round of revelations about who jeffrey epstein associated with and had meetings with as many asking questions. it's long been speculated that there was some kind of intelligence connection on the part of jeffrey epstein. and now we have confirmation that after his conviction, 2008, he had met with prominent individuals such as future cia director william burns prominent banker. ronnie, to rothschild, as well as white house council, catherine rambler. and at this point we have a very not so convincing response from the cia spokeswoman. here's what she had to say. mister burns met with mr. epstein about
3:22 pm
a decade ago as he was preparing to leave government service, the director didn't know anything about him. other than that, he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice and transition to the private sector. they had no relationship. it's understood that this response is not the most convincing one and many of heard this response and said they have many more questions, especially with the new revelations of mr. epstein and who he met with who he was associated with. now for those who may not recall, jeffrey epstein was a wealthy financier, was known for running a child sex prostitution rang. now he was 1st convicted in 2008 of doing these kinds of activities. but he was the very mild sentence of only house arrest. however, he was charged arrested in charge once again in 2019. then he died under very
3:23 pm
questionable circumstances in a u. s. federal facility revelations about that case. and the connections the jeffrey epstein add to the american lead have caused many to ask serious questions about what's going on behind closed doors. ready in washington d. c. let's learn just a little bit more now. of course we'll have to journalist and author daniela's odd areas. daniel chris, see you. thanks so much for joining us here on the program today is great to have your time the libertarian party. now saying that it was a moral for prominent figures to maintain ties with jeffrey epstein, even off he was convicted. so was it a moral and why do you think they did? i think because he's a near billionaire who used the money to gain influence was, was waving around the possibility of making donations to, to colleges. i, he had, i had been tried, convicted, had completed his sentence. so as far as these people were concerned,
3:24 pm
the slaves had been wiped clean. i think there's a lot of heavy, you know, there's a lot of suspicious, you know, a lot of suspicions being voiced a lot of questions being raised. but so far i don't see anything in this, which is simply more than a, than a rich man. you know, sort of cultivating certain celebrities who met with them on a few occasions and that's really bad. and then we're very embarrassed when he was subsequently re prosecuted and was sent to prison. but i don't see anything more in this whole episode than the, i mean even the future ca director william burns. i said to have met epstein purely for the business consultations. but i mean, i guess how, how appropriate is it to separate a person's professional activity from their crimes. do you think? well, once you, once you serve your sentence, your supposedly you know that your latest white wiped clean is not the case. i mean
3:25 pm
that doesn't, that is not how it works if you, if you, if you, if you do the do the sentence you're out, you're once more able to resume your normal activities. and he also met with noam chomsky and apparently arranged to have dinner with with what he allen and members of the israeli leadership, former prime minister who as well they you know, yeah. ok, fine. so, you know, friends, friend, and, and even inconvenient even convenient bed fellows. well let me, let me ask you this. and if i may, i mean, do you think these revelations would, it would have any impact on the people listed in, in epstein calendar? i mean, how bad of a brushes this to be tarnished by all will all be swept under the carpet. do you think? well, it's obviously very embarrassing. very embarrassing. i mean, i mean people, i'm sure these people looking back in regard your, you know, or are flagellating themselves or being so stupid as to us as to meant to have met with this guy and not to have thought more carefully about who they were
3:26 pm
associating with but it's just, you know, but this is just, you know, that's one of those, those unfortunate things that people do. and as far as they were concerned, he was, he was his late, had been wiped, wiped clean. he had done his time. but i just don't, you know, sort of jump in, forgive me for interrupting you. it's just the time and it's so good to have you on the show. but, you know, i just, the, the point i just can't get my head around is ok. so it gets laid, maxwell, you know, she's behind bars, epstein killed himself or did not kill himself, but wearily or big ne, i mean he, we have what the media says, the biggest sex traffic, a child traffic or, and history. and they took all about epstein all about maxwell, but where all the clients, daniel, where all the clients please, can you tell me? well, what is, what is part of what is a member of the british royal family as we all know, but the, but yes, you're right, but these aren't necessarily his clients. we've got to be very careful. and i,
3:27 pm
when we, when we explore relationships like this, so. busy you know, if what yeah one has been or has dinner with it was epstein. what does it mean? means that what he out was clearly unwise in his choice of dining associates. but it doesn't mean that he was a client. it doesn't mean that he's somehow tired by, by f seems activities. the same goes for noam chomsky who by the way is had a as had a you know, i don't agree with everything. chomsky says, but he's, he's had a, a quite a courageous career as a political critic of the u. s. establishment. are we going to charge him with the epstein brush as well? yeah i so i saw the comments with no, i'm chomsky and, and he basically said look, i knew the guy we had lunch couple of times and. and so what i mean, perhaps perhaps people did have relationships with epstein business and whatnot, and tati based on, on, well, as we know, illegal trafficking and sex island and all this kind of stuff. daniela's odd. it's
3:28 pm
a dirty, murky story, but i appreciate you sharing your time with us on your commentary. we'll see you again soon. thanks very much. thank you. thank you. the leader of a death cult in kenya under investigation. if a murder is accused of encouraging followers to starve themselves to death to meet their god, the local authorities of now revealed among more than a 100 bodies, found in a mass grave with several children who had been strangled. generally, most of them showed signs of starvation. we saw features of people who had not eaten, there was no food in their stomach to showed signs of his fixation. the investigation is really looking into one of the worst cult related tragedies in history. the chief atalla just mr. hanson or dawn came out with us, with his initial findings from the 10 a bodies that he had been looking and true. and they had amongst the bodies were
3:29 pm
mostly of children and one of an adult female. but we talking 9 children who are aged between 18 months and 10 years. and when one thinks of that one can only imagine the horror and the tragedy of, of such young lives being being put at the altar essentially of this extreme. and really manipulated religious belief if one will. and this has been so much in the news that it spurred canyon precedent on sunday to announced to the country that he will be as stablish in a, a commission to probe these particular killings. all murders of the said people in the chicago hall are forest and he will be also starting with their probe as soon as this week we expected to start this on thursday,
3:30 pm
and this will be going on for a lengthy period of time. but here is the views of king and president, mr. william, brutal people like mckenzie and all other territories. and criminals do not belong to any religion. they belong to jail. and that is where they should be. the red cross estimates that over $300.00 people were reported missing in that sheeka hall, our area in can leafy county and we expect that the death toll will arrive even more. 2 cases of those young kids who are under the age of 10 were found to been axiate and dead really goes towards deliberate murder and taking off life. then unless he ation or starvation might lead us. but indeed, most of these cops were starved and they were found to have nothing in their
