8:30 pm
pay a visit to our gates later next month and based on those meetings, we can have a better and clear understanding as to what the roadmap will be moving forward. however, i do want to emphasize a little bit on the nature of ascension. i'll be at the kremlin, might not welcome the nato and section for ukraine. we also know how the turkish president operates. so although the search president on kind of a general doesn't oppose ukraine joining nato, it also does not wants to strain ties with a small scale and based on how on, cuz it has essentially active in the past. we can also assume, at least until this meeting takes place with the russian president, that much of what on cut a says the should be taken with a grain of salt. this could also mean based on what charges channel is sen, experts have been discussing. is this meeting with the landscape and this potential meeting with a lot of improvement in the upcoming month? and the 10 top piece talks, we do know that in order for ukraine to join the joke,
8:31 pm
the bore, or the calls like needs to come to an end. and that could be what is on, on cut his mind. the charges present has been adamant and has been very vocal about bringing an end to the conflict and focusing on reconstruction, which was also a topic of discussion. and the meetings here is stumble. just a few clicks away on our website right now, you might find a number of conservative voices have found themselves being counselled. for example, speaking of the prestigious stanford university in california, however, that very california hosted members of ukraine's extreme mister household put alley in for one big day. read about that on line. it's on t dot com. but i knew that just ation not kicking off in kenya. now those spots nationwide protests, so police using well i'd say a gas and warning shots and attempts to disperse the crowns. now we understand a 1000 is to do the streets across the country. basically, protest in
8:32 pm
a new finance build, it is set to boost taxes. and while the government says the increase is needed to support a tough economy, the international monetary fund has promised the country hundreds of millions of dollars in new loans. if president who chose new budget falls in line with the lenders, expectations the, well, the former from minnesota, you didn't go visit behind a petition to oust the nations president. so now is the time for the country citizens to get out and take action. to me all the time for talking has already ended. so it's action time. the constitution states that the common citizens have
8:33 pm
the authority to end this government through the canyon citizens can now to power to the rightly deserving person. we all know the use tricks to get into power. we're starting the process of taking power from the look on your is face with an ongoing economic crisis and significant poverty levels in the country. basically, compounded by massive public debt that equals 67 percent of g d p. and the government's attempt to do a scale down spending are also part of the wider effort to balance the books. while the international monetary fund is expressing full support for all of these new tax hikes, the, the, the, with the capital said he no, the only place experiencing on rest people, right. the in mom boss. so that's the 2nd largest city in the country. and we spoke with some of the locals and to be fair,
8:34 pm
the opinions polarize to not products were protesting against the guilt. much the economy is difficult, even paying rent is a problem. before going back home, i have to think because my child lost me. when i got them to wait, when i come from work to this point, kenya is not the can you? we knew before things have changed a lot. let me use the support team and i did not support this practices because it is, has no business. we just have to suffer even if we don't take looms now, many loans were taken by the previous government. we just have to work hard to now funds to groups, fluid and all table by which is the police causing chaos. they're also citizens of gain. yeah. and we suffer when we get to the same shops. we went to come to the country peacefully, but they came to disrupt this peaceful protests. i mean, we're getting the heard a lot and we don't have peace. many jania is in a bad place. this president lied to us and his manifesto is because they promised us having once he took the oath and i do,
8:35 pm
it is only baba who can rescue audio and know you. some of us are hurting what keep not everyone has money in their wallets. you promised us at the bottom of the economy, but we have confirmed to lied to us. i do support this process as long as it's peaceful. sustainable development, climate finance and problems facing the global cell. so just some of the issues high on the agenda for the leaders have been g, 20 nations were attending us. some of the kind of western india will have the story over to a runjun shop, a, a to d. o going to n t o you 20 is taking place under india, a series of g 20 meets with all $500.00 vault assistance, bez, deputy mess city officials from around 6 t cities in the world. this is set to be one of the biggest air board you 20 meets takes place and the remainder mode these home state which dropped with a focus on sustainable development, climate finance and building climate responsive and resilience. cities like the
8:36 pm
programs of the globe. and so the very different from that are the best art is available or not. and that is because of, of an idea of reasons which we all know. so therefore, it makes more sense that we discuss more about the problems related to the global itself and focus on shared interests. because the problems are far with the, the problems of the sources. the problems of lack of capacities visit are very similar in the countries in the global cells. so we need to share these best practices, infinity and also in what we're trying to address these problems. but despite mass from across the world engaging in close door sessions on key priority areas, to be included in the you to in, to communicate inside to see that may not be one owing to differences over the war in ukraine. communicated remains a challenge ahead of the final g. 20 heads of states summit that mr. moody will
8:37 pm
host. on the 9th and 10th of september. you has made its voice clear or multiple times. that is to set aside decisive issues and focus on real issues that are leading toward, especially the often forgotten global south west isn't assistance on housing. it's wait. what a really think was going to for is a consensus based on self condemnation in y'all's role as a shower and as a father thing force is going to be the key ruins and sharma all the daunting. that guards with ross to new york, where protest has gathered in front of the united nations headquarters on friday, demanding an end to us support for israel and his decades long conflict with palestine. and the demonstration was actually organized in response to israel is a raid on the west bank city of jeanine. very recently had left the 12 that including 3 kids. the oppression was branded by the u. n. chief as the west of
8:38 pm
violence. the region is seen in a couple of decades of israel, so it was targeting minutes. and so the some of those in new york disagree with that's fine. the palestinian people are not put down because a lot of their courage, the palestinian people are put down. but you are towards the palestinian people struggle. the only thing that stands in its way is we are motto of the united states. we will continue to stay until the old, mighty, with this compassion bring up 3 pallets sided. part do we can embrace the balance. it means that we would have to 100, so they wouldn't, it was the, are the most provided for the home. that was your name. they just the package you name every time the court and it's because they're defending themselves. well, meanwhile, the usaa passed the move ahead with the building. it's a new embassy in jerusalem. now that of course has promote the palestinian authority. just a curious washington of having a quote, policy, atlantic station and apartheid claims. the construction will happen online and
8:39 pm
taken from them by full of the united states through its illegal decision to recognize jerusalem as a capital of an occupying power. and to build an embassy on private property and endowments lands, which was seized in 1948 from palestinian owners, among whose heirs are residents of jerusalem. and american citizens violates international law and supports policies of annexation and apartheid. instead of policies that serve adjust and last and peace back in 2017 the then us present on donald trump analysis plans to relocate the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem off that he officially recognize it as the as ready capital. naturally the move sparked anger. all across the arab world of a staff as of jerusalem as long being a subject of dispute. israel as controlled as since the end of a 6 day war and 1967. however, the palestinians consider east jerusalem occupied territory. and we heard from some
8:40 pm
of those living in that's it, a problem next to the american decision to move exam, because it contradicts american foreign policy, especially since moving to the embassy and the 2 state solution. now the biggest tragedies that they even move the embassy onto the listing inland, owned by philistines. this is even a bigger contradiction. and violation of the embassy was already built on palestinian land, even if it was in television, it's still on the palestinian land. because tel aviv is the 1st of all neck, but these are any occupation during school. they support an international, military, financial and moral palate from america. america is the tip of the spirit and the struggle with palestinians and everything done by america with the arab states and regime. some is for recruiting them and controlling the political decisions, which is always in favor of the occupying style of the the, the, the us is the one encouraging the occupied to break international law and keeps there can patient state above international law. so jerusalem isn't occupied city,
8:41 pm
according to international law. you as brags about democracy, the right of self determination and international law, then submits to this breach and establishes its embassy, imp listing in land that the legal director of an organization naturally fighting to stop the embassy being billed us, who had been shot a, a says that us, that you're not a decision on your site on that my is not in yet session and stuff as we find the objections to that. so are you sort of just as well to the u. s embassy and department of state in washington. it was approved documents of cardboard documents that proves the publishing and ownership of this specific is site on behalf of hands of the owners of senior refugees. a we claimed that these properties were illegally confiscated and seized by the is there any authorities on the inside of the law and, and hopefully they won't get to the stage of a asking for
8:42 pm
a permit to build on the site. and the case is still ongoing. it also, is there any sort of these has made they have made a decision on that massive planning reps to that is a stage of us sort of these asking to issue a parent to build their uh do the diplomatic compound on the site. so we hopefully, if it wish and it would be appropriate not to go forward with the side. the answer that we got from the us department of state was that they haven't made up their mind yet. no final decisions were made. and it's through this process, the history of the land ownership on this i will be seriously consider the court in israel as a result, a police officer for the killing of an anom palestinian man with autism in
8:43 pm
jerusalem. i had a high lock with shot in bed in may. 2020. the officers said that he had mistaken him for an on the same or the nasa eunice. what does patrick? the song does empower the sergeant, but all out assault just haven't gone to promotion. at court to the last may not tell me i stole that there is hope by the moist agent in front of me. everyone was telling me that there is hope right after you stop that, you turned around again and said he was acquitted. i lost my mind and i didn't know what to do next. i had a very slight hope that a soldier might get conyers, but the wasted at all the
8:44 pm
status fish. you know why he fired the pond? him because i locks and mosque was placed 15 days before that they didn't allow anyone to and my son was killed on saturday. everyone you on august i was supposed to be open on sunday. they told the challenges that my son was a terrorist. they got the message that the terrorist is on the way knowing the that the has been passed and suzanne for the past 6 years. he was known to them, but they want you to an excuse to close alex and most of the
8:45 pm
while i've been here no one. i no longer hear anything. 2 years ago when we used to go to court, vandevere came and well, the settlers there when the palestinians lease corn, cheese them and beat them. one time he told the settlers once they leave the court, follow them and beat them. we laughed and people told us to be careful. they will do this to watch the people with us helped us. most of people in solidarity with us when waiting outside they supported us home, imagined they killed our son and want to beat us. this is the ultimate hosting justice for the police and powers have once again at least that by holmes this time and in the attempt to disperse o'reilly and on a, on the i'm a proud right who died in 2016 while in police custody. i hear the brother of the dead man, we can show you is a c and out number the then hand cuff and taken away by police who said that he attacked public officials. i also found another man who have been detained by federal authorities as, according to media reports which say the reilly gathered more than 2000 people at
8:46 pm
the plus the public. a problem this is we strongly with violent protests and reason, weeks out for a police officer faithfully show to a young al jerry and during a traffic incident the killing highlighted in broad concerns about the racial profiling in the country. the un human rights committee spoke out of how the incident saying the fronds must address, excessive use of force by police. federal authorities, a place of temporary bond, meantime on raleigh's, in an effort to avoid further right well despise. so i mean, the door shut on the american market for a chinese tech giants like while away the us treasury secretary, there's a huge badging of using protectionist practices against foreign funds. i've done it yet as well. it's came on her visit to china. i mean, it escalating tensions between the wells, 2 largest economy during meetings with my counter ports and communicating the concerns,
8:47 pm
including china is use of non more to tools like to expand its subsidies for state enterprises and domestic firms, as well as barriers to market access to foreign firms, i think particularly triple like you need to, factions has been taken. it gives us firms in recent months. it's just so unfair. what the market do, it's work. don't have the government rigging things interesting words from the us. treasury secretary janet yell and as she arrives in beijing for a 4 day stay and talks, this comes in the aftermath of biden and referring to chinese president. she's been paying as a dictator and a spat ask. busy leading the trade war, this time over computer chips. right before yelling arrived, china slap some new export controls onto semi conductor computer chip manufacturers in the united states yell and brought it up immediately. of course,
8:48 pm
i'm also concerned about the new export controls. recently announced by china on to critical minerals used in technologies like semi conductors. we're still evaluating the impact of these actions, but it reminds us of the importance of building resilience and diversified supply chains, rich words. the usa has been dropping new restrictions like halloween, candy, month after month, the restrictions on semi conductor chip manufacturers and china get tighter and tighter with the stated goal of some us lawmakers to be completely locked in china out of this vital market. but now that china is decided to impose some of its own restrictions at this point. you've got jaelyn crying foul. maybe she should have listened to what china has been saying, month after month to. so you can send, china always opposes the wes eva, stretching the national security concept,
8:49 pm
abusing export control measures using all sorts of pre text to control and co us, all the countries into joining it's technological blockade and against china into to you tell me what i'll do for you as introduce the chips and science back to the us companies receiving the us government subsidies not expended, volunteer production capacity in china for 10 years and uses allies to districts and we conduct experts to china. this is a typical economic patient, isn't it? for you guys didn't realize that the concepts of a national security and i've used this national paula to i've been trying to suppress enterprises like huawei antique talk. all 3 talk to of a showing me. but it's not just semi conductor chips. there are many different areas in which the united states has been looking to roll back china's influence and push back against corporations based on the chinese mainland. there is cloud computing, for example, firms based in china has been targeted huawei technologies, the world's largest telecommunications manufacturer,
8:50 pm
has been targeted for years. this corporation, it was cited by harvard business review as being an example of successful profit sharing, as been a target of the united states with us officials traveling around the world urging country is not a contract with wow, way. when it comes to setting up their telecom grids, when janet young complains about the use of non market factors by the chinese government, this is a great example of what some might call pot, calling the kettle black. they will not been marty new york. yeah, i think cause amazing media is not telling you is a fact that a big part of you had on this trip to china is to tell badgering to stop dumping us treasury's been dropping billions and us treasury is on the markets in recent months. and washington is growing increasingly concerned there's a dollar continues to lose this river status. as a unique part of the world is foster coming through the,
8:51 pm
[000:00:00;00] the after the nazis bower in italy, states foreign policy became extremely aggressive. benito mussolini needed glorious victories. he decided to achieve his ambitions in africa. despite the fact that formally libya had become an italian colony back in 1912. the vast territories of this country were not actually controlled by rome. the nazis decided to put an end to this. but as soon as the religious order of the senate side stood in their way,

the arabs did not want to submit to foreign power and put up fierce resistance. dividers against colonialism were led by the seats of this m a side order. omar l move star, who was nick named the lion of the desert for his incredible courage. despite the violent, bombardments and voice and gas usage, mass keyboard agents and the imprisonment of the local population in concentration camps. the invaders could not cope with the era patriots for a decade. in 1931, omar l move star was captured and sentenced the hanging habits trials. the hero of the libyan people behaved very bravely and rejected. pardon. pursuing a policy of genocide, italy was only able to temporarily suppress libya, 18th of the entire population, more than 100000 people fell victim to terror. however, just a few years later,
8:53 pm
the entail ian rule collapsed. in 1951, libya became one of the 1st countries in africa to gain independence there's an old saying, war is hell. it is hell. it's full of death and destruction and the worst of human kind. in the meantime, war is more complicated than most people realize. there are legal and illegal ways to go about waging war and war crimes and crimes against humanity are all too frequent. perhaps more importantly, the effects of war on the human psyche can be devastating. just imagine the effects work and have on the people fighting them when those people understand what's happening. and when they have an appreciation for the legal justification for war, it's called moral injury. i'm john kerry. ok,
8:54 pm
welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 2 a matthew whoa is a former soldier, a former diplomat and a whistle blower in 2007 after his 2nd deployment to iraq, post traumatic stress disorder. moral injury and severe depression took over his life and he began drinking heavily. thoughts of suicide became his constant companion. in 2012, he stopped drinking and sought to take care of his mental health. in 2016, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury in addition to the moral injury and depression. and all of this came after his whistle blowing from 2002 to 2008. matthew worked on the afghanistan and iraq moore's on police and operations issues at the pentagon and at the state department interspersed during that period. matthew was an active duty member of the us military. he took part in the american occupation of iraq. first install a heading province with a state department,
8:55 pm
reconstruction and governance team. and then in unbar province, as a marine corps company commander in 2008. he was assigned to afghanistan, but in 2009 he resigned in protest of the american escalation of the war there. since then, he's been a senior fellow with a center for international policy. matthew hose, bravery in standing up to the might of the american military industrial complex has been recognized repeatedly by his peers. he's the recipient of the written our prize for truth telling. and he was named as a defender of liberty by the committee for the republic. matthew ho, welcome to the show. thanks so much for being with us. hi, john, it's good to see you. thank you for having me. i'm. i'm very happy to see you matt . i, i want to begin by telling our viewers that you and i are friends and i am thrilled that you're here with us. your story is so important to tell. and at the same time, it's also very complicated. you are progressive politically. you are also
8:56 pm
a patriot. so let's begin with your career. tell us how you began in the military and then how you transitioned to the state department. sure, and yeah, it is complicated like most everyone's lives are complicated, not nothing is, are really straightforward. and even years afterwards and you look back, you wonder how does that happen? how do i get to that point? how am i here now? so um, but i graduated college, i worked for a little bit in finance, so i was bored. this was the late ninety's. i want to do something bigger with my life. want to be part of something important or do something serious. one to challenge myself. i end up joining the marine corps and i went to officer candidate school on january of 1998. uh sir, was it that was an open house. japan for a number of years, was in the pentagon, and then ended up going to the rock wars. and after being in iraq where it's twice moved over to the state department where i was appointed as a foreign service officer. and he was in my that 3rd deployment to where that time to afghanistan with the state department as a political officer. when i was,
8:57 pm
you know, morally and intellectually broken, the dishonest, these are the wars was, was, was crippling me. i was, uh, so you mentioned no suicide or at that point because of what i had done, what i had taken part in. and so seeing the escalation of that war and afghanistan by the obama administration, i chose to resign rather than and continue to take part in the wars. and when i did so i did so to quit, to walk away from it all open. i could leave it all behind. and here we are almost 14 years later, still talking about it because the reality is the wars are still going on. and even in afghanistan with, there's no more american troop presence. the war goes on yesterday, asking people the suffering goes on, is just a different phase of that work. you're absolutely right. you and i are similar in that following the 911 attacks, we wanted to serve our country. we believed that we were the good guys and we were supportive, at least early on of us policy in the region. we both drew
8:58 pm
a line at iraq. however, i worked on the rock war from c, i a headquarters. i was opposed to it from the beginning. you were on the ground in iraq. you were opposed to it from the beginning. tell us about that experience and about what you saw there. all right, so excuse me. so i left from the secretary and navy's office to go to a rock. so i was a pretty junior officer in a very high level office. and so i had probably more of an awareness of what had been occurring and the distance between what was officially being said about the war and what was actually occurring in a rock. so in that 1st year, so as, as the white house, the pentagon and the major media reported that things were going, okay, it wasn't so bad, it just took me to time to shake out. i had the intelligence in front of me as well as colleagues, friends of mine in the marine corps who were in iraq, who were, you know, saying this is not going well at all. so by the time i get to
8:59 pm
a rock my 1st time in spring of 2004, i had this idea that this war, of course, at that point we understood to be a lie. we understood. there were no weapons of mass destruction. there were no ties to off high to etc, but also to this war was a colossal era for american foreign policy. that what we had done was catastrophic, not just for the rocky people, but for the entire region in the repercussions. we're going to be something that the united states is going to have to deal with for years and years to come. so you look at it from that, that policy perspective of what we did and what resulted from that cause. so many
