this is the largest democracy is providing to be amazing. the resilience about turkey does not fulfill the basic principles of the democratic election special as well. the council of europe lays out a controversial assessment of the turkish election on western media. links president are the one with risk to turkish democracy. that's as a nation is set for a run off vote at the end of may. nearly released documents revealed the us had little concern about the past activities of his proxies, despite human rights violations, and war crimes allegations also ahead here just covering the water where all the basic other water world, let's go down the party dives into you. the beauty of iran,

kish island, known as the pearl of the persian gulf, as it prepares to be added to do nest those heritage less than by way ignores. i am escorting spelling around 40000000 us dollars worth of gold back digital tokens that says the country speaks to reduce to dollars dominance, a mid hyperinflation, and following national for and please the morning for moscow. this is our to international with the latest from these updates . i'm paralyzed about. it's great to have you with us. we start with search here where the nation is set to decide on the presidency in iran. also after neither of the top candidates passed a crucial 50 percent threshold to win in the 1st round. on sunday,

the the, the supreme election council of trachea announced a run off the will be held on the 28th of may. with 99 percent of votes counted or to one received about 49.5 percent compared to almost 45 percent for his main opponent to monkey lisa dark blue, a nationalist candidate spitting non of non came in 3rd with slightly above 5 percent with his supporters votes now set to be a decisive factor in the run off assemble. residents shared their expectations from the 2nd round of the presidential race. allow you to listen to wish for the best outcome possible. i hope someone good will when things are deteriorated, somebody will loan for and then to the war and the high cost of everything you put

up. i guess, to prove that if the over ministration continues, they will learn from their mistakes and make them right. if the new administration comes to power, they will put time and effort into the nation. we want to leave a happy life in this country. just for some of the western reaction to the turkish election was not long coming with washington saying it's continuing to closely monitor the ongoing electoral process. and the european commission president noted the huge turnout showed that turkish people are committed to exercising democratic rights. yet the council of europe's assessment of turkish democracy was rather confusing. so i would say the tucker's democracy is providing to be amazingly resilient the shows the high turn out in the election. but turkey does not fulfill the basic principles of a democratic election. such was well,

of western media. what further, whether it's headlines definitively linking president ergo, one with a wrist a turkish democracy that says the country's opposition promises to take a course towards wider integration with europe are to contributor rachel mars and shares her take on how the you plays its membership cards to influence other states policies and why oregon is for trade as an obstacle to turkish democracy. so once again, the e u is dangling block membership in front of yet another candidate country turkey kind of like an engagement ring. and they're doing it right in the heat of an election. and the opposition candidate is talking like it's only voters which use him over incumbent president, raise of air to one venture if he could finally live happily ever after in the arms of brussels. our main goal is membership in the european union. of course we want to be part of the civilized world. we are ready to rapidly transform turkey a into

a true democracy that our citizens deserve, as well as to carry out the democratic reforms required by the e look session process. hey, look, there's nothing wrong with self improvement when it's done for yourself. but the opposition is talking like it's ready to give the country a face, lift a button with some new teeth, and maybe upsize to some double d's, just so that rustles finds it more attractive. now why don't the opposition be under that impression more because the you keep saying. so if the decisions would go towards opening the country to democracy and the rule of flaw, sonton who have been origin for a long time, then we should start talking. who can start talking about to the liberalization of the visa, redeem? yeah, baby, just do what i ask and then we can talk about taking this relationship to the next level, like a liberal visa regime, where you can kind of go freely at my place and even leave your toothbrush there without it being kind of weird sounds

a lot like the kind of promises me to keep of under the european union ukraine association agreement that set off the euro. my dog protest in 2013 when venue crane president and your new convicts refused to sign it. quick reminder of what was behind those popping off ukrainian demonstration now demonstrating now in ukraine. they may not be in your opinion of them. they are certainly part of the broad political family of european nations. all right, so and kara has, i see your example in front of its eyes of the kind of blueprint that exists with respect to the you and it's modus operandi. and kind of makes you wonder why hasn't it just blocked brussels number yet? it's beyond be frankly, turkey and nato ally applied to the use freed assessor the european economic community in 1987 and was recognized as a candidate in 19199 and still isn't a member. that's a long time to wait around for commitment yet. turkey is also allow nato and you

countries to establish military bases inside its territory for western wars in the middle east and in africa. it's also saved you from being over whelmed, by migrates, displaced by western military interventions in africa by holding them in camps on the turkey border. now apparently that's still not enough for brussels. when asked last year about a power is pressed exit. joining the block between ursula vander line, european commission president said, quote, there is no progress. the e u has cited turkeys, human rights record to justify its foot dragging and relationships with its neighbors. meanwhile, it calls you trade with the exact same flaws. problems with its neighbors and issues of human rights, the great defender of european values, at least incumbent president or while i'm realizing that waiting around for commitment is a full game. to key does not need you are but to europe using real need. the prescription for the increasingly chronic problems is to keep in took is full,

your membership. we are not and will not be anyone's placing. we are not and will not be a servant to be treated according to someone's whim. those who think that they can and slave to deal with threats are ignorant of their own history. those would think that they will bring us to our knees with sanctions will soon realize that they are deeply mistaken. brussels. these is the same pick up lines on all the countries that supporting although the georgia serbia and they're all still waiting around to be invited to make it official beach have on the hook with promises even though the gold posts are constantly being moved further out. early one seems to understand the process of selling the fantasies that if the country gives up its independence, then brussels will take care of it. some day. maybe pay a country can dream, right? it can do to build hearts with their names in their notebook, right. and in the best case scenario, you wants to dictate how the country behaves and which of its friends it can still

hang out with it. certainly not that russia one that's for sure. it's also toxic that it's no wonder the early one figures that turkey would be better off stage, single, and independent acting chairman of the center for strategic studies at the turkish ministry of foreign affairs. i the nor had says that western countries are clearly interested in article on losing the elections. a pen nato countries on monday, july 18 turkish elections. they want the purple ad on it starts to look at the german, french, american, english, the magazines and newspapers, the economist, etc. that home, when i guess add on, add up as of monday to ration that this information led to that. what they are doing properly. they say if i change my the to 19

on avalon space, this is the opposite. exactly the opposite. we did not see any russian mingling in that case election, but we saw a lot of naming intake, you see lecture. and that's why a lot of people voted for ad on because of this western manipulation we will keep you updated on the following developments in the turkish presidential election. stay tuned here on our to international the newly released documents show the us didn't care much about the background or activities of its proxies. turning a blind eye on their human rights violations and war crimes are to correspond to

taylor mop and takes a deeper look at the pedagogy relationship with its unsavory allies. if you're providing someone with military training and weapons, don't you have a responsibility to make sure the person is not a criminal to use them to go and commit new crimes? you would think so, but apparently the pentagon does not agree newly released documents show the united states seems to ignore the issue of human rights records and violations when it is training, and then covertly deploying proxy troops to other countries. for the purpose of this veteran used to detect cancer intelligence risks and potential threats to american forces. the directive does not match some violations of human rights, such as rape, torture, or extrajudicial killings. indeed, why worry about such details as long as it serves american interest in far away? lance seems that for the panic on the ends justify the means. even if it means

violating u. s. law that for its military aid to human rights violators abroad, the us track record for such on account ability and impunity goes back decades. here's just a few examples. the infamous and dirty brigades of militias, the united states, trained in order to fight. i still, in a rock, have been accused of torturing detainees and other atrocities. united nations found us backed forces in the democratic republic of the congo were involved in mass rates and torture of civilians. back in 1981 up to a 1000. civilians were slaughtered by us backed forces in el salvador. the famous elm is ot massacre. human rights watch has revealed the results of the us occupation of afghanistan, and shone crimes that were committed by forces trained and backed by the united states. there. the strike forces have been lawfully killed civilians,

your nitrates forcibly disappeared detainees undetected healthcare facilities for allegedly treated in storage and fighters. civilian casualties from these rates and air operations have dramatically increased in the last 2 years. the us armed and framed ukrainian military is just the latest example. they have been caught summarily executing prisoners of war videos, sho, outright war crimes. russia has many times highlighted these documented atrocities of the united nations. however, the usa and his allies have turned a blind to, i should send me the ideas due to the nearest of all the recent reports by amnesty international and organization that can hardly be classified as pro russian states . we have been talking about at every meeting on the green since the very beginning of the special military operations. the, the um, forces of ukraine and ukrainian nationalist battalions are hiding behind

a civilian population as a human and also use residential houses and apartments in them as fighting boys place heavy equipment in a tillery near the hospitals. schools and keen the gardens keep still has called launch for any crimes. instead of holding the spade the spade, you demonstrate button double standards and middle goals, office thoughtfulness, so as not to cast a shadow of responsibility on the skill for the sheldon is obvious. this shows your responsibility for the brain conflict, started the united states, or at least the question is relationship with infamous groups. like be as off the tally, known for its neo nazi ideology, what is the relationship of the us government to these people? is it training them my did arm them? is this one of those cases where we aid and abet the kind of monsters who eventually become our enemies? but they have admitted there is no real way to stop or even control these evil

practices. here's another example. the tornado battalion was pretty well known for its atrocities. some of its members even got in prison when the crimes they committed became well publicized. but after russia's military operations started, these dangerous radicals were released in order to join ukraine's armed forces. here is just one of those ukrainians who served a prison sounds for kidnapping and torturing civilians. my teacher from the british tass always said that a knock on the head doesn't make soldiers to murder. he also kept saying that the war is art in strict discipline, along the record of washington supporting forces around the world. the do horrendous things, despite existing us laws that mandate otherwise explains why the pentagon doesn't feel obligated to do any of that thing. when you are training people like this, it probably feels better not to know what they did yesterday and what you might be helping them to do tomorrow. caleb bump and archie new york. earlier,

my colleague nicky, are in spoke with investigative journalist by norton who says the us and its allies use such proxies to do their dirty work for them. unfortunately, it's not surprising. we've known that the us military has moved more and more toward using special operations forces abroad. it's a wage what is often referred to as shadow wars, when the us military has forces on the ground, then it inspires criticism. you know, when the us military invaded iraq and violation of international law, everyone around the world could see that this was a blatant war progression. that over a 1000000 e rockies died. well we, we respect to the sovereignty of other countries. well, actually the us is violating the sovereignty of other countries, but instead it's using foreign proxies in order to maintain this idea of plausible deniability. so if those more and proxies are ever caught in arrested and

interrogated, the us can say, well, we don't have anything to do with them. we have no idea of who they are. no, you are currently in nicaragua, what? another pro american group, the conference was accused of a number of atrocities committed by us box dest squads. how much accountability has that been in those cases and, and doesn't look like the u. s. has done anything to provide transparency and closure for locals affected well of course absolutely nothing. it comes as no surprise to to hear that in the 1980s, the ca, back these extremely right wing violent paramilitary groups, that compromise, that were notorious for killing and torturing civilians. burning down schools and hospitals, and there has been no justice. in fact, there are multiple us government institutions that are active around the world training proxy forces in order to fight secretive wars in the shadows to destabilize foreign countries. and former us presidential advisor. fiona hill

has stated that russia is leading a global rebellion against washington's influence, and had germany in the wall has become a proxy for a rebellion by russia and the rest against the united states. and his pursuit of the war. russia has cleverly exploited deep seated international resistance, and in some cases, open challenges to continued american leadership of global institutions. it's not just russia that's 6 to push the united states the sidelines in europe on china that wants to minimize them content and us military and economic presence in asia. so both can secure that respect is fees of influence. they want to decide not to be told, watson of interest. so in show us in 2023, we hear residing no, to us domination and c, a mach selfie title. so one wills for weld without a heads up. let's discuss this more with vice chairman of the shanghai center for

room pack and international studies. nelson wong. good morning, nelson. so what do you make of fiona hill statement? is russia really leading a global rebellion against the us? or is there simply a growing resistance? a well coincidence lay of watch that pulled by fiona hill at the la not mary electra 2 days ago. and what i would like to say is that before the white house official was also known as an expert on russia as raised an important issue, the world is facing right now. as a result of the ongoing war in ukraine was agreeing to feel now. julio hughes outspoken remarks all what she called a russian lad global rebellion against the us edge. but a and put destiny, a full more diplomacy. i would go further to comment into that. we're actually at the biggest and perhaps the most a complicated cross roads right now. and if it's been leading countries around,

the world cannot sit down to map out a way forward that can foster all co peaceful coexistence. we're running into a much bigger k also to the extent that we are in fact inviting self destruction. but feeling a ho, he is not too long in that respect. so there are many other scholars in public intellectuals in the us, such as some jobs, me to chime a, a jeffrey sikes, and even the fox news i'm could talk a call some etc. who of old poor decides the us government to have for a vote to rush to launch its military operation in ukraine. but this is not the point to you. what we are witnessing right now is that more remote countries around the world, and even some of those that us would consider as its own partners. i'm allies, are all getting where a of the us hedge a monic approach and treating the rest of the world. it is all to clear that with

what has happened in iraq, syria lead, be a comfortable and kind of stone. and the obvious role that us has played and is play behind the conflict in you crack and, and it still ring up both patients in the south china. so you on across the taiwan straits and above all, it's voluntary publication to confront china and forcing others to take a side. the us has lost its moral super and us to be the world leader as it may still want to be. yes, this is very interesting because fiona hill also stated that countries like russia and china want to decide their own horses and not be told what's in their interest . is she admitting them that that's exactly what washington does. well, i totally agree with that. and i think so, what, let's take a look at the position of foss towards china. i'm president,

across all bill statement to call for europe in or plumley be. let's read carefully the trying to policy statement of the birth, exploring secretary james cleverly. these are not only evidence of the different voices within the so called united west, but a clear sign that the u. s. being still the largest and most powerful country in the world is by selecting itself to become the global minority as i would opponent . because it has not respected other countries interest and doesn't want to listen to what others have to say. so the constant into fear, into other countries in total effect, as the ruthless use of economic sanctions against others, simply due to disagreements are definitely not the solution to solve the problem. solved any kind. yeah, it isn't a question. no, a, go ahead. all right, isn't it?

yeah, sure. i would say that it is no longer the question of which side is going to win the war in ukraine, or whether china is going to be they to taiwan, or when the brook's country is, will replace the g 7 to be the dominating falls in the world fair as it is about when we can lay down all all and sit down around the table to pull the peaks to face the new reality of a multi paula was a star, good mission, vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies. nelson long. thank you now. thank you. there ons kish island known as the pearl of the persian gulf is preparing to get it h in town, added to the unesco list. the island is well known as a thriving resort, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe every year,

professional ice climbing as an average of $1000000.00 iranian tourists visited the island each year. or despite this abundant potential, the number for visitors is not remarkable. case results put this figure up less than $50000.00 annually. there was storm sanctions and they were on our side by experts as another major challenge, which i'm scared for and visitors away from teach you how well she is. the political propaganda and the legal sanctions, targets in our country have unfortunately homes, all tourism tech to among all the sectors. this issue has created this trust by ford taurus regarding the safety of tourism. email accounts treat this as well. all countries. i'm on the safest places in terms of tories authorities at case freeze on say they have put in place a visa waiver for a tourist was to read the travel permits issued upon arrival. what's the boy and turkey being serious, original for us to cry? bowles case islands can still win the game, as experts say, it's one of your nature and coral coasts around rival officials are now forced to
