a web to taking, but to give up the edge i just didn't, did fussing bite. so both sides. and i know where did you dividing into 2 camps? one game preserved why you make your districts and natural and other jobs that you invest in is young. uh, do you have already gotten a request from? uh oh wait, i mean it be like, love a lot if they are divided assigned to dana. so the india has been a blanket, discard the when the law and it has been up at the olive government has had been pursuing electronics unemployment policy. and it has been to logic to and successful due date. but it seems now thinks of getting of more tricky of ad. both sides are low bonding mode and edge that

you're toward that. it's the dispatcher that you might dentist dare say, not to avoid this. and that will bless all natural plus group didn't there to plus football, gym and they, they want to get in the us would drain this, deb, it looked as if the strategy in it did this. what is see the big off? uh, i need a mission, w have and global times article in this context. as part of the vehicle that you're sending is concerned many people in new delhi, on india mer disagreements is the hold up full of understanding of things that are in good environment. it's a, it's, it's following any decor liaison budget, but a lot of times that had you will come big, but nobody's name's a heads. said that india is it. so it's in the confidence but, but, but, but to dec. did they go for that?

and they haven't ever done in there that fees that in the article i, yes, i'm so totally lead demonstrate that unique logic philosophy and imagine this and obviously related to country. and they have advised india to not fall in you wish to have this. they have said many concept instead of so what they have a wing that india so many damn it's a independent font or the lowest part of the policy. and this is the issue with india, follow this policy or be able to follow this policy. keeping the net and network and read or a quick quick little things as real edge. same game in a seo and it big and add stuff to it. why that is, why the an old subject to the c o. c or some it won't take place in the new that it

takes a bit web to amanda. there may have been some sort of in them may be some message in this announcement. then many people are so watching victims give and risk. what in the i don't, it's so tough to be go in for the administrative subgroups country when committed this big only. so all this things are very heads, you know? so what i am saying that works during the day. i'm busy saying why do later districts is reporting all things so to be considered out of taking in larger context of deal forwarded to go it for a sense of being formed. and i know, do you think there are any benefits for new dally to become a member of nato? plus in my opinion, i knew that this would let me go for this. it will be very risky of because

a net. net metro plus the natural heddrick lodge. that if i'm that will be a member member member can read, adapt, then holding that to consider cuz he does. it's a deck on every member as if they've got an echo. but this load load has been to be moved from there to plus and new it, india, india, geography. it, india is situated in a geography of where it cannot be. so is that it's a never like jane up. you're focused on and this is what you, india, india, it's heavy, much better than you invest him landmark. so, so far me them. and i have been to the, to the concrete which interest dog to clear different who have who imperialist. the card, put on the other side of the card, has been up all the ridge. it's a n n and detected goes to be

a little bit to indian mazda is a so, so we have the indian government that because they've done all these aspects, i think, and i hope there's a lot of fall in descript. alright journalists such sandra, ron, john, thanks a lot for joining us in the program. thank you. it's come to light that a british journalist who works for the investigative new site. the grey zone was recently detained and questioned by british counter terror. police, upon arrival in the u. k, that's according to the greys on itself. kit clarin berg was detained in london on may 17th, after arriving from the serbian capital of belgrade, where he lives here. here's question for more than 5 hours about his political views on everything. from the current british political leadership to the ukraine, conflicts of his electronic devices were seized. the interrogator specifically demanded to know whether the grey zone had ties with russia security services to

publish hacked materials. actually, no reason was given for the detention and clarin berg has worked on reports from how british government had a hard liners violated the official secrets act. to exploit brags it, and british plans to bomb the bridge, connecting crimea with russia. british journalists, paul mason, being a tied rather, or rather a state security collaborator who tried to take down the grey zone and even a report earlier this year, claiming the c, i a recruited to 911 hijackers now to get more on this uh, it story and have a better discussion, we're going across live now to max blumenthal, who is the gray zone editor in chief, is also the author of the report on clarin bergs detention by british police max, thanks for joining us on the program. always a pleasure having you here. can you just 1st take us through what happened as well?

i think the introduction provided a pretty good synopsis of what took place on may 17th kit clarin berg was returning home to his home countries. a british citizen landed at lou ton airport and was immediately detained upon disembarking from the plain by 6 plain clothes politic, british police officers under 60 section schedule 3 section 4 of the 2019 counter terrorism and border act. i looked into that code and it doesn't appear to apply to journalism. it's something related to northern ireland. so this is highly unusual. and then he was interrogated for 5 hours by counter terror. police about not just his journalism for the gray zone, but who owns degrades own who funds the greys zone? are we connected to russia's intelligence services and his political opinions on

everything from the british political leadership to what his opinion of ukraine proxy war is. so this was, in my view, political repression by the british state, which has no pretty speech protections against a journalist who has been exposing, in, meticulous and completely factual fashion how british intelligence has been violating international and domestic law in order to carry out some very dark machinations well based on what i've read from the story and what you just mentioned about the strange reasoning behind why they would detain cape clair and berg. do you think it's possible we're witnessing a sort of which ones right now and if so, what kind of repercussions could come out of it? while we're witnessing the mask of british liberal democracy come off in a very dramatic fashion. i mean before kit was interrogated, many figures have been held, including the french publisher,

who is grilled about his views, about a manual macro and who is not the prime minister of the u. k. that the president of france and his views of the protests against my crone, this is just a few weeks before kids detention kit is known for using leaks to expose british intelligence injuries. and he has embarrassed some very powerful figures in the u. k. who are breaking the law, including violating the official secrets act to manipulate, breaks it and install british j boss johnson, as prime minister. that's so bad for them that they have even had a political right hit pieces on kit. but what kit hasn't done is broken any laws are violated. any journalistic f ethics. what he's done is standard practice, even at legacy wester. newspapers like the washington post in the new york times, who they use leaks all the time, including of classified information to provide input in the news that in the public

interest. and what's amazing is that while kit was being grilled by these counter terror cops, they actually got him into a debate about what the public interest is and said, you're reporting might be interesting, but it's not in the public interest. and keep in mind that if kit did not respond or comply with these questions, and these philosophical treaties as he was subject to arrest as well kit, clarin burge is actually obviously been a regular guest here on r t. he's openly shared his views on different political issues. so i want to bring up one thing that occurred with him he, when he was asked if he was ever concerned about his political stance, or rather, if it could cause him troubles with the british authorities. he always said, no, do you think that this will now cause him to rethink his work? well, kit received a letter that we kept. the key we we had had that reported on.

he received a letter in june 2022 demanding that he report to the nearest british police station for a quote unquote interview about his journalism. but then the case was closed in september, so we didn't do anything about it, but i don't think that kit was surprised even set on the record that he expected to be detained. and let me just state clearly for the record. i mean, i'm on our tea right now. this is pretty much the full extent of our contact with anything russian is that we go on this network, but i would happily go on voice of america or radio free europe to talk about this issue. we have no connection to russian intelligence. we receive no state funding at the great zone from rush or any other state which actually puts us in contrast with a lot of our adversaries, including people attacking kids. and so this was a baseless interrogation. it's a fishing expedition by british intelligence. they're going after journalists, who are dissenters, dissidents, and who are exposing their own violations of international and domestic law.

another piece by kit that was absolutely a blockbuster relied on leaks to expose how british military intelligence operatives had produced a blueprint for the ukrainians on bonding. the courage, bridge, clear violation of international law. why aren't they being put on trial? why is it that the journalist, why is that the julian assign just being held? it's because the, the, there is no rule of law. well, how is only if it was based order, right? how? how is this incident affected? the spirit at the grace own our people a bit shaken up about it or are people just as a standing firm as they were before? yeah, i mean, well, we've received the outpouring of solidarity and support and we're hoping that groups like reporters without borders will weigh in here. i know kits been in contact with them that other press freedom and joe's will actually speak up. this

really is a question of whether you agree with me or kit clarin berg. it's about whether journalists can continue to follow standard journalistic practice and using leaks material to provide news that's in the public interest. and so far, we're really gratified by the support we received. and we are not surprised by the repressive behavior of the united kingdom, which has no free speech protection. and i'd like to blumenthal editor and chief of the grades on and thanks a lot for joining us. on the program, wish you all the best and kid as well. thanks a lot. in other news, there's been an outrage in india over the brutal murder of a 16 year old girl on the streets of new delhi. a warning you may find the following images. a bit disturbing video of the incident which was captured on a security camera, shows that multiple people were walking close by. as the attacker repeatedly strikes the victim, one man attempted to intervene,

but was violently rebuffed by the assailant. the one called the police and after the killing the girls body laid in an alleyway, untouched, until responded about 30 minutes later. according to the police, the killer had been in a relationship with the girl and turned on her. when she tried to ended, it tag prompted outrage from activists and politicians for demanding more to be done to protect women in the capital of india. now on to other news, the colonial is scramble for resources in south africa is being remembered today. this wednesday, march the 100 and 21st anniversary of the end of the 2nd power war. one of the biggest and bloodiest conflicts of the british that the british fought before world war one. at the dawn of the 20th century, britain attempted to satisfy its appetite for south african gold, claiming some 70000 lives in the process. the military power was an uneven with

500000 british soldiers facing off against 88000 bower troops due to an unknown and difficult terrain for the british. the power republic gained the upper hand at 1st, but london's forces quickly prevailed. archie corresponding catholic and saw me expands on the grim anniversary. and now some are seeking to justify the wars brutality of the narratives of this con 60 leaves, or rather between these 2 warring fire in the sides on the african. so has been carried through over many years and the plates and dispute thoughts for the involvement of subjects. not only and reading you fault in this whole thing, did some of the west pain and see facts. blacks are employed in the concentration camps. the main with as many to supply and age 14 and will the transporting food and weapons as well as animal seats. the women on the other hand, as well as the children, are not stayed as the woods and the concentration camps as assistance to the women . this rule was to feed the front line commanders. now the british felipe suits in

using the black label as 5 and the movement of the fluids as well as healthy, and that which is navigates the south african landscape. now, many of these black men and women died not as a result of the voice self back from multiple diseases. from the overcrowding in those concentration comes as well as plus invitation, entering t 19 a purchase and to defend that the actions of his full fathers during a dialogue about winston churchill legacy. now, jacob reese mold was justifying concentration camps, doing an appearance on pvc question. time while these concentration camps held black and will women and children against, they will often abruptly see them from the funds with over 27000 of them died at those kinds. only $6000.00 men died as a result of the voice of that with which mt insist that the formation of the camps will for the safety, south african concentration camps have exactly the same mortality rates as existing laws go at the time. so then not a good thing but where. busy where people going to live when the use of

concentration gotten? no, i didn't. i'm talking about the bull bull talk. people pushing comes for the protection of bridge when men to the use a concentration. but i'm afraid or confusing concentration comes with it says extermination. come outside of this, i like the any calls in the family. i wouldn't be for all the people who were in tongue for the safety. the numbers of those that perished during the war remained conclusive for the port and the british. but alarmingly, the black mess this will account for launch a percentage of the dates, remain unknown, which is campaign. and it may be, clubhouse, has come out with the latest evidencing hello demona was the unit of the british army had been since or other had rather sent our places to live or other. he had been since kabibi need the situation in south africa at the time. he also writes switches that meets the atrocities posts to the boys and the natives of the land using sweep schools of children that were dying and how the conditions in black

came so atrocious. with little to no food as well as milk, basic health care. the theory that all the weekly children being dead, the rate would fall off is not so far borne out by the facts. the strong ones must be dying now, and they will all be dead by the spring of 19 o. 3. i thought we had begun to turn the corner and that after having reached unparalleled heights of mortality in october, we should now show a heavy decline on fortune to leave the figures have risen again. alarmingly, this, the convertible was a complex and lighted concepts that had far reaching consequences for southern africa and the clue. it remains an important event in the history of imperialism and colonialism and serves as a reminder of the human cost of will and concepts. that's of, i'm assuming for r t to finish the former south african torres administer in d y c c. so we'll believes that the colonial era is one of the most shameful pages

of history in the us because we just standing by with nobody to protect them. and indeed the numbers are still wrong because i think it registers right now. something like a 100000 black people died for no reason the war had nothing to do with them. in fact, the to inferior dispos had no right whatsoever to come and waves the elbow on so that if it's in sun, without too much is by, you need from the people of to, to the people of, of the country. it was a lot of the beginning of the to, to kind of in the nation of the country until we look what age we're to very, which country kind of continents with anybody who didn't belong to this country and be, and who wants to comment to make changes in the arms of the hedge. we didn't, we had, you know, on the munition that you have in the country in the continent such as all the heads up the see over the, overcame us. and we didn't have the kind of unity as often as we would have been

able to impose a job, is to make sure that we get rid of every vestige of new colonialism. because while the colonialist win packing home of to became quite kid that they had no place in our country. uh, the developed trade relations with us that we know to not favor the develop relations with us to do business is that even safer assets, favorites, and sells, which is a despicable act from europeans that i don't think i have had the on i to apologize for only 2 in that which they still from the african continent. that's all for this our, my colleague roy associate will be taking over in just about 30 minutes with more news here on our teacher and the

to thousands upon thousands of americans lost their homes during the economic crisis of 20082009, commonly known as the housing level, one of the primary reasons why this happened was because of something called subprime loans. mortgage loans were made to people who simply shouldn't have qualified for them. the reason banks do this is simply greed. they hope they can guides consumers and keep the losses in check. but then what happens when the economy slows at the same time? what happens when people just can no longer make payments? the result is that the entire system falls apart. and that's exactly what happened in 2008 from john. kerry ok. welcome to the whistle blowers

the . 2 2 2 2 2 2 the housing bubble, economic collapse of 20082009 was the worst period and economic decline since the great depression. indeed, it's called by many the great recession. memoirs by former fed chairman and secretaries of the treasury are clear economic business and banking leaders had no idea how to get themselves out of a crisis caused by greed and with money being too readily available. that grade was simply providing loans to people who shouldn't have qualified for them and who had no way to pay them back. at the 1st sign of economic trouble. as the economy slowed and unemployment went up, people suddenly fell behind on their payments. hundreds of thousands just walked away from their homes, turned the keys over to the banks and watched. busy everything fell apart,

but none of this should have come as a surprise. there was ample warning, but a disaster was approaching. our next guest was one of the people who was warning his leaders about the danger as a chief business underwriter for city group, during the housing bubble and the subsequent financial crisis. richard bowen repeatedly warned executive management and the banks board of directors, as many as 60 percent of prime mortgages were a risk. he also warned about the risks associated with cities practice of lowering its standards for sub prime mortgages. his warnings were ignored. and as if that wasn't bad enough, city stripped him of all responsibilities, placed him on administrative leave and told him that his presence of the bank was no longer required. but every thing richard said turned out to be true. he later testified before the securities and exchange commission and he gave nationally televised testimony before the financial crisis. inquiry commission. richard's

experience was covered by the renowned news program 60 minutes, as well as by the wall street journal, the new york times and the washington post. as well as other major outlets. richard, thank you so much for joining us. welcome to the show to thank you john. it's a pleasure to meet you as well as be on your show. thank you, sir. the pleasure is all mine, richard for so many americans. the housing bubble hit like a ton of bricks with no warning, but that really wasn't the case. there actually were indications that something terrible was going to happen. when did you 1st see something was a miss? and what did you do at the very beginning as well in 2006. citigroup was the largest bank in the world. and in early 2006, they consolidated all of their banking operations varied earth and came out for lunch. and they, um, they consolidated these and they, i received

a huge promotion. i re, was promoted to business chief underwriter. i had responsibility to make sure that the $90000000000.00 a year of mortgages, that city group was purchasing from other banks. a mortgage company. now understand citigroup did not make these mortgages. they did not originate them. they purchased them from other banks and mortgage companies. and when they pcs, they would turn around and they would sell the they would sell them to fannie mae, freddie mac, mortgage securitization. and when they sold them, they would give their guarantees, they would give their representations and warranties the page mortgages met their policy guidelines. well, i took over my new responsibilities in early 2006 and by june of 2006. and again,

that's my responsibility to make sure that these met our policy guys will much. well, in june of 2006, i discovered that over 60 percent of these mortgages being not meet our guidelines, they were by definition defective. many of them were 401, and 80 silly me. i thought it was my job because they were selling them and guaranteeing that they were group mortgages. so, i started, if you morning, i sent email. i put in my weekly report, i made committee presentations. i corner people in the hallways at the bottom. i'm not a shy guy. and 320062007. the volumes kept increasing and the rates of defective mortgages increased from 60

to an excess of 80 percent. oh my gosh. in india, nothing would happen. they continued to sell them and guarantee to the purchasers, the thing that our guidelines. so i knew somehow this had gone up very high in the organization. i knew somehow i have to get to the board of directors. but how do you do that? and i was agonizing over the ash when on november the 2nd of 2007, it hit all of the press that they were calling an emergency board meeting for the coming sunday, november the 4th. and it was in the press that that charles krench was going to resign at the board meeting as chairman and robert

reuben was the one to be named german of the board. that's it. yeah, that's how what my warnings to the board meeting. so the next day on saturday, november the 3rd, sitting at my kitchen table. i put together an e mail. i addressed it to robert reuben, who was, who was name chairman of the board the next day. i and i also sent it to the major executives, the chief auditor, the chief financial officer, the chief risk officer. and i told them the story about how it been if, when warnings for a year and a half. wow. because i knew under sarbanes oxley, i knew they were legally bound to tell the board can count investors.
