this is just a funny to me for the sake of living here, see instead of just you just east virginia, if you really go into the streets of paris, so riddled with god has thousands of protest since them all that is rarely asked me to be bound to from the upcoming games. so i take the oldest cutting on so i'm gone . obviously we were looking for a month to make sure that everything was going to up and somebody. and today it's all to accept the games hosted by power as opposed to off to a world. keith stopped at damage to process the infrastructure. i'm suspected with friends, the call to a strong shadow of the wealth premier supporting event doesn't take long for the finger to be pointed out at flight and test skate good. question. also to come

for the sake of an experiment, we tore some liquid onto the burning ground and wait before the teas they've been ready. they will tell you that the rates had had a spike in that you'll want to find a way of how to send in a queue and says reset the lives of depriving them of clean water and delta and psycho necessity. the concept here in most cases for myself, the whole team at our age here, thanks for choosing us and a very welcome to the program. well, well uh, powers is often have pulse is the city of love. it seems to be at the moment. this content and the so the of the french capital in the run up still in big games. crowds of people have been taken to the streets and protest the the,

some of those tools have come out to take a stab, decayed stick stream security measures that he had sent to john, limitation that many others have gathered to protest. the full participation of me is really cheap. they pointed out that asked me some stuff in sucks and countries like russia i followed just in case we get is really, is go to get a pause, but even additional protection including the security detail. we are here today. i we're more than 8 the see sure. and sign it or call me to do this protest because today we wanted to show that many people in partners and 1st of all, again, you'll think you said something about one of the things that people don't understand, they don't like about this. i mean, pick is that, is there a russian upset were central uh for the war and ukraine, but uh, number, but uh, the is highly,

often allowed to go compete in dealing with this flags. we see here in paris, a lot of the security and surveillance mission are such as the thrones, such as the cure codes to answer some zones. uh also they use it at a party, is that that basis to say to people that can go to the gates so far as this is why we are again so awesome. i am at this meeting today to show my dissatisfaction with the fact that these really athletes are present as the olympic games and from which has become to have human rights, liberty equality and for tennessee. the large part of these is really athletes are also soldiers of the genocide o r d f, which met this scene, this in women and a huge number of children. i think that their place is not in paris to date. all those protest as an all gone unnoticed by the end is a palace. but in a perhaps surprising ton of events, some french officials of actually joined the crowd's voice in their own concern

about israel's participation in middle impacts as the countries bones continue to for on gaza. contributor rachel, last and brief. it was accordingly off on the summer olympic games on friday night here in paris, french president. imagine that quote has basically suggested that he would just like everyone to calm down, try to behave and keep quiet about politics during this 2 weeks. show explicitly called for a truce on all politics, both foreign and domestic seem to play. yeah, good luck with that 1st started the game. so my pulse of the anti establishment left france and bound party and member of parliament for the department, hosting the olympic village. and the state default, so one of the main venue is hosting sports like soccer field and rugby kicked off some political football of his own between himself and israel. we are a few days away from an international deadline that will be held in paris,

the olympic games. and i'm sure to say that no, these really delegation is not welcome in paris is really athletes are not welcome at the olympic games in paris. and we must use as deadlines, all the levers we have to create and mobilization. so pulse come and suddenly have the political boss here in france, all freaking out accusing him of drumming up potential security issues around israel's presence at the game, saying that he risk creating a sort of munich, 1972 olympic vibes. hm. what's interesting about that is that russians words recently banned from this competition and from competing under the flags, their own country, by the international olympic committee. and on its own website, the committee concern for old russian athletes like crazy, arguing that backlash as a result of the ukraine conflict would endanger russian athletes outside of their country. so security could not be guaranteed, but it sounds like that's exactly the case which is really athletes at these games

. french interior ministers at all done and i know said that the government was deployed the g j n or so the principal is tactical unit to guard is really ghastly around the clock during the games. i guess that means where there's a will, there's a way, so this same m, p to him i call, also wrote a piece for the french press media path underscore is a whole lot of double standards when it comes to olympic politics. the olympic games are not neutral events. history shows that they have always been a major center of international diplomacy. from 1962 to 1992 south africa was excluded because of its apartheid policy. these really anthem and flag should not be raised to the olympics, as long as israel continues to come in war crimes and gaza and to intensify it's illegal. colonization of westbank international law is not variable, geometry,

and does not suffer from double standards. otherwise it becomes no and void. all this controversy around israel's olympic participation comes on the keels of a non binding advisory opinion issued earlier this month by the united nations international court of justice, demanding an end to israel's occupation of gaza. and finding that israel had breached several international laws, including the prohibition on segregation and apartheid activists are now pointing out the aisles. the has a very specific precedent of exclusion on precisely those grounds. important, the ice j advisory opinion mandates the building be sufficient with ben israel. the i o. c. has a policy prohibiting apartheid and systematic discrimination. necessitating the battle governments engaging such practices to isolate has confirmed that israel is guilty of these actions. and why one israel to participate violates the i o. c. charter, ignoring the palestinian. and when the committee is requested will permanently

stain the paras olympics and every member of the olympic community activism around israel's gaze. participation has been spilling over into the street and the stadium where the countries soccer team played on one stage. when asked about all this on friday, the tv president, a menu on the back home, basically just fall off israel's participation onto the i o. c. this is rob assets, a welcoming over the country. they must be able to compete, because that is what the limpid movement has decided that will do it in front of the responsibility is to ensure security and i condemn with the arguments, felton, this all of those who, in some way put these aspects at risk and implicity threatened them with sort of that they say fail, but as a attitude to the potential for political may him as a result of israel's presence in france is pretty wide. it's tough to argue the israel has made any effort to dial down the drama and provocation for these games when one of its 2 flag bearers for the opening ceremonies as former european

champions. you joke of peter paul check caught hosting on social media. some signs bombshells destined to rain down on gaz. uh like they were just football is about to be tossed out at a kid sports camp. they even feel like you to be the president of these really olympic committee paid visits to his really service men who have been perpetrating massacres in the gaza strip. the most serious violation was committed by the israeli flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the olympics. who had put his signature on a missile and posted the picture on his account on social media with text reading, a gift from me to gaza. the same ukrainian born is really olympian ended up scuffling with palestinian solidarity protesters in japan back in april and apparently couldn't even be bothered to change 1st into something a bit more tangible than his official national geo kit before you know,

taking it out to the parking lot to potentially get down with some israel palestine mortal combat action on the other side of the world. having these games back in may, the i o. c reaffirmed its quote, strong position against the politicization of support, a fundamental principle of the olympic charter. in reality, their selected application of that rule has effectively just made leveling the political playing field, a sport unto itself at these games to protest the railway attack suspected bomb threats on a cancelled press conference. but quite the opening ceremony. the powers seldom pick committee was hoping full, but hey, it's the one but it's called man hours before the games. a set to kick off fronts has been plunged into total chaos, and apple has been closed due to a suspected terror attack. a railway has been paralyzed by table. 5, look forward to supporting sabotaged up to austin attacks affected the high speed train connecting london to paris. and all of this has disrupted the pounds,

been estimated. 800000 tablets, the director of the friendship, i'm to access high speed rail line, commented on this series of unfortunate events. obviously, we were working for months to make sure that everything was going to up and property. and to date, it's all to accept the rails power lies throughout the country. as he said, some 800000 individuals have the transport interrupted this sick lo fi as they move paving stones onto the truck cables. and also that potential tara threats that was cold in the fossil add port. so really, the transport network has been hate incredibly badly. and already the investigators are starting to look into what happens. people question will, who's behind this? because this is being described as a series of coordinated attacks and it probably won't surprise aids to say at the top of those who are likely to have done it. the thing is pointing towards russia

and this is senior individuals within the font suggesting that russia was behind this. why are they sit signaling russia could be behind this would make and stop patasha time will allow and it's because watching athletes who are not participating, not be lympics as russian athletes apparently be less active. the openings are many which will take place on friday night. so they're not going to this army, and that's why when the media now asking that question, particularly a spokesman as soon fonts, russia is unlikely. health plans. are you worried that this is the act of russia or a malicious accidental tyrus greek? we? i mean, i cannot said the shower and maybe can be also professors in french people. okay. so some suggestion then perhaps it could be,

i don't heard it same story and she told her about the hall last the mouse. because business boy pin fonts for the black folks, they are new for creating chaos, particularly in protests, where they go in and smash things up, and they have a huge network in fonts. and potentially there is legs in the id, but they could be behind this. but then let's move on to the very put the game move to faces, accusations that are being flung around and at the moment this comes from is, well, this is for me is rarely for administer. he says that face spoke to the counter policy and fonts and recent weeks to tell them that a ron was planning some things big. let's have a listen to what they had to say. the sabotage of railway infrastructure across france ahead of the olympics was planned and executed under the influence of iran access of evil and radical as long as i warrant my french counterparts to feign so during this week based on information held by israel. iranians are planning terrorist attacks against these really delegation and all the limbic participants

increase. preventive measures must be taken to fort their plot. the free world must stop, you ran now, before it's too late before any facts have really been established. hey, we've already got lots of people deciding to take the narrative of whatever direction they won't do using political motivations to suggest to they think is behind the attacks. but when you look at the media, what is quite clear is the headline is russia, did it russia, did it, russia, did it. and uh, it was instead of perhaps focusing on waiting for the investigation that will then resonate with people and, and stick in their minds. i mean, the rush of fact uh, is also okay. and, and not the aspect. i mean, the detained watson citizen, accusations of being a spies will quite cold. took us through us. yes. that's why this is a 40 year old russian citizen who is lived in front spruce for a decade, a training there. and one of the most prestigious things to do is to go don't blue to be a chef has been working, is a chef. and apparently he was arrested just

a few days ago. and he has been accused with posting something big, not to terror attack, but something big to cause chaos during the olympics. so if he is found guilty of se base it up to 13, he is in jail. so this is a really serious offense, is a miss kiddo crashing off as a said 40 year old chef one of my he's known to some people who should because he actually took part in a fairly big tv show. had the equivalent of the us version of the bachelor with women trying make him fall in love with them propose. and that was back in 2019. but apparently the whole time he was at despite and coughing, deep undercover for uh, russia. so trained to be a chef on a tv show, all at the same time is receiving apparently wages from the probably another to give you a sense of how the media is covering. something that we need does seem to be a bit far fetched, a foam or russian reality tv chef and suspected spy was nabbed in front of the he

reportedly bragged about and the ledge to plot the cause may have met the paris olympics during a drunken rent grass and off has been living in france for 14 years and was 1st exposed when he got drunk and was kicked off a plane that was due to take him from his stumble to paris in may. the 40 year old chef was today named as carroll. agree as an off, a former love show heart throb thought to have become an f s. b asset. i mean is pretty good cake if you can get it. but apparently after that drunk couldn't run, but you heard about that. his name is the old domain, and the fridge. secret service is radiant, his property, and apparently have found evidence decal due to the fact that he is actually an and cover agent. we have heard from dmitri past cope. this is the criminal spokes person who has described this as being to his case. i think we could all agree with him on not that it's curious, but he said he was waiting for more information from the parish authorities in relation to that particular case. while moving over now to the dispute to

joel tutton valley, what tensions all on the rise with palestinians accusing jewish sections of sabotage. they claim that under the protection of the idea, the 2nd is a depriving them of lights. most basic necessities like volta and a bit to drive out the locals are the middle east bureau chief where it's the notion of visits the area. i don't put an insight into what lights the for palestinian has become a life and a desert comes with its challenges for palestinians. farmers who have to confront jewish settlers. and these really forces the struggles. multiply daily mohammed leaves in the jordan valley. just an hours drive from jerusalem in the region that is internationally recognized as a legally occupied by israel. by local standards mohammed is well off manage and a herd of $100.00 sheep. but today he's filled with worry. he complains that

there's rarely settlers have damaged the pipes to deliver water from many by springs. and then during the flock, the tanks that quickly are running dry. taking any, most of the spring, has become a dangerous gamble. as settlers now guard the area and prevent the sheet from reaching the vital resource, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. had elected them, sometimes they attack when you go get water or when you go out with the ships or when you drive from the area to jericho, they watch you and attack your car. they also attack when you're going to pray. they sometimes come at nights, they ride horses through the fields or residences, freaking people out, women and children, and how much says settlers can trespass on private property and even steal animals . he shows us a video that supposedly documents the crime. in the food age, we see some local era men trying to confront settlers who are allegedly taking the cheaper way to engage in

a conversation. and film with can do little else as really forces nearby will kind of remember easier when they attack us. the army protects them siting 70 percent with the jewish settlers and 30 percent with the palestinians. but these people were fully supported from when a settler took our sheep saying one ship was better than another. the army facilitated is not. and other video captures the army firing from how much back yard and acts the family described as purely up for vacation. here is really forces are accompanying the settlers, who again come too close to the houses. tensions are rising, and it's not long before those armed. begin to use their guns, show them that we feel anxious and fearful. their main goal is to displace us just replace us with is really settlers sold and how much wife makes us some tea. the families still have some water,

but they can say for how long they will be able to last without buying more from the market, which is expensive. for the sake of an experiment, we pour some liquid onto the burning ground and wait. before the tea, they've been ready, they will to evaporates pleasant. but i mean, i think we need support to stay on our land by the water and we've been here for 50 or 60 years, not just one or 2. we must states, we are the ones rooted here. they came to us, we didn't go to them, they should leave. we invite the family to accompany us to the spring. they refuse out of safety concerns. the kids volunteered to take us with the adults stop them, insisting it isn't safe. we go on our own stick on which plans is painted and the colors of these really flags near the water. we spot 3 do stuff. there is watching palestinian kids swim. and also a group of activists from an is really civil project opposing the occupation at the

palestinians request. they provide at protective presence to help prevent potential violence right here. think it's the 1st the finance here from you can see here joyce theory the trying to make the ethnic cleansing and seeing the barrier feet in the territory. the army, they control the army, they control the police and they control the car. all the, all the system is working for them. we approach those who die goals, terrorist, they are willing to speak and insist they pose no threat to anyone in the aerial beyond. i ask a direct question. do we want our students to leave this area? this is what they say, what, what problems do they make? the young men struggle to formulate an answer and then bring up guys on

where it becomes clear or they make no distinction between the milton group based and gaza. 100 kilometers away and local palestinians, all palestinians. in the end they express the essence of the conflict. they believe these land is bears. it's not. you think it's a israel, where we are right now. officially, israel doesn't see these territory as israel, but an area it's runs under the defense ministry, civil administration, and it's rarely body that overseas. daily communication with palestinians in the west bank. they never because because of the consequences, the un says there is more right now if you us

you will say for you our discussion. he's a dead and much like the decades long palestinian israeli conflict which appears to have no resolution inside. this resilience community stands on the land of an ancient families thing and village that shares its name, a village that has faced the pain of expulsion in the aftermath of a 6 day war. in 1967 today, locals and acts of a se, the shadow of displacement looms once more as through stuff. there is one policy and to faith in this territory. but this time the communities spirits burn brighter than ever. they declare they want to leave whatever the cost of an ocean at all t reporting from the lane and the jordan valley. i'm finding the solid b avalon most of the sanctions. again, small sco, have had little effect of a key take away from us treasury secretary on it yelman's remarks from the g 20

sidelines. in result, she noticed that russia has succeeded in strengthening its military industrial complex despite thousands of barriers from the west. one sanctions more broadly, our approach continues to revolve. and we see that russia, of course, has succeeded to distressing extent in acquiring the military, acquiring dual use goods, like semi conductors. it needs to build up it's military establishment. and as we see that we continue to take for directions to try to interfere with their ability to acquire these goods. hold off, new quite and conflict broke out in 2022 western nations led by the us on least a volley of unprecedented sanctions on russia. and these were across multi sectors

from defense to agriculture to media. but it's not just john. 7 and recognizing the failure of these punitive financial measures, us media out of the washington post has published a case on how functions have been so abused by washington that they've now ceased to be effective. alarm about sanctions rise has reached the highest levels of the u . s. government, some senior administration officials have told president biden directly the over use of sanctions risks, making the tool less valuable. and yet, despite recognition that the volume of sanctions may be excessive, us officials tend to see each individual action is justified, making it hard to stop the trend. my colleagues, my vault, which i discussed the post article with profess a jack russell, a sub political economist at st. mary's college of california. now his views of functions are actually walking, but that watching games, washington's lights,

what it's folks, the sites is, aren't new. we've been sanctioning countries, at least since cuba and before what's new is that the new use, the sanctions has been escalating a very rapidly and last last decade or so. it's almost uh, you know, a reflection of the loss of the us of power. the us used to be able to just look across the country and get them to do what they want. now of course that's not working. so now they're throwing sanctions at these countries and sanctions, you know, in a way are saying that the, well we can't, can't get them do what we want. so let's to assign to them is kind of like the last resort to look like you're doing something. and of course, the se shoes aren't working. a good best case is probably russia in china. but i would also say that, you know, maybe in the sanctions are working, you know, because if you look at the, it's not heavy any effect on russian and economy rather sure everything in fact,

on europe, so economy, the sanctions did work in the sense that they drove russia out of the west european economies, and the west companies flowed into the vacuum, charge the higher prices and making euro more dependent on the you want us to economically. so in that size, the sanctions of work plan b has worked. the plan, a putting direct pressure on countries has not worked. and the sanctions obviously they look at, you know, the sanctions across the board. virtually not having any effect at all. but if you've got to do something, it makes it look like you're doing something when you have those items that are there is a political industry that has a raise in around the us functions pushing for sudden interest in washington. and then now let's take a listen to this. in washington, the swell of sanctions has found a multi $1000000000.00 industry. foreign governments and multinational corporations

spend exorbitant sums to influence the system. well, why to law firms and lobbying shops have built booming sanctions practices. in part by lowering government officials to cash in on their expertise, profess, uh, what do you think about this? does this sound like corruption? well, of course it's corruption or else that's a contradiction in terms, but that's how the system works. legally it's, there's corruption to the legal corruption and, uh, yeah, i mean, uh, you know, its capitalist system and you're going to have all kinds of advisors and consultants and friends. the product issues are, are going to dip into the, the money and then spend thrown at making sanctions work because they don't work. but they spend a lot of money and somebody gets that money to try to make them work and reporting on how they're working or not working or covering up the reporting or whatever. so yeah, of course a big, big uh, industry builds up around all this as well. that is

a rob the saw. that's the sticking with us. uh, take you over the top. rachel ribble of pills. the in february 2022. the, i'm see, don't sports organizations to band russian and veneration athlete from competitions . the russia has been stripped to 46 and then pick metals due to do things. allegations the so who is competing, it's boats, menus, athletes will politicians can and the thing was the quote's good name, the

you know this of the bush with the search and pulling the system, move of a symbol of those to been the middle of this. and then come up with a name also, of course in wisdom so, so if the condition of so still of the school initially illustrating the actual mcgross based thoughts for students. so let's continue to a sales trauma little the symbol of such a girl and mueller. uh, okay, both the to the space to do it before the del sol goes there. so mo, shift level, touching piano. shackleton, a goes to some additional was political support, because of course, the 1st of the month now post some, some voice, compute them, swap wheels, deals to go to the law. so we need to move those and he wants the stuff once it goes okay, new initiatives are the name was put on nimble of god's stuff. nimble application folks of goods that are in your put a couple of the machine to play with that. so the spinning screening showing you

have to go.
