it began spontaneously in benghazi. direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated. this is something -- >> bret: we would later learn the comments by then united nations ambassador susan rice on all five sunday talk shows were met with shock by state department employees. but those comments were backed up by secretary of state hillary clinton who maintained it was unclear at the time what was behind the attack. later an email she wrote to her daughter surfaced. an email written within hours of the assault that makes no mention of the video and, instead, blames a, quote al qaeda-like group. >> this was the fog of war. you know, my own assessment careened from, you know, the video had something to do with it the video had nothing to do with it. >> fox news tried to track down the man who made that video. the last time he was interviewed in 2016, he was living in a homeless shelter in california and told fox news he doesn't believe in democracy anymore. it was the administration's initial blam

liberation of benghazi and now he's looking to be the president of libya and. france france is the main culprit in this france issued a statement in two thousand and sixteen after that half their took over the the oil crescent and called them a military. and are an armed group. less than a year later invited him to the elysee and treated him as head of state and we saw that again on in may of this year of this year so here we go people call it the libyan national army you can call you can call you or your armed group anything you want we saw that in africa in the lord's army and the lebanon the. the party of god and so on but the fact is it's a military it's an armed group and we saw the atrocities that it committed in benghazi and the atrocities it is committing enduring that now and the international community has to. heed that and make a decision maybe maybe a year or for the libyan government to. provide nato troops or something to guard these facilities from judge ron from have them from anybody else rianna given what we're discussing today his desire to t

libya's oil crescent stretches along the mediterranean coast between the cities of sirte and benghazi to the east another region contains eighty percent of libya's estimated forty five billion barrels of oil reserves as well as huge amounts of gas and it contains three of libya's biggest oil fields plus refineries producing about sixty percent of exports well tankers dock at five main ports sidra is the largest exporting four hundred thousand barrels a day followed by move at two hundred twenty thousand barrels ok let's bring in our guests today here on inside story joining us from tripoli is. a political analyst and senior advisor to the negotiating team of the high council of states from cambridge riyadh on smith managing director of libya analysis a consultancy research organization and from london will be joined by tim eaton research fellow in the middle east and north africa program at chatham house welcome to you all so if i can come to you first is what we're seeing right now just a reaction to the latest very ugly very damaging skirmishes or other other dynamics at play here.

gowdy investigated benghazi for two and a half years for context. and this morning julianne set ser. this was a contentious five hours. this one stood out from jim jordan pressing rod rosenstein, listen. >> i don't know why you won't give us what we've asked for. >> sir, i hope your colleagues are not under that impression and that is not accurate, sir -- >> it is accurate. we've caught you hiding -- >> mr. chairman can we allow the witness to answer. >> mr. chairman, point of order. we could go to the press conference to hear from him but we came here to hear the witness. >> you're statement that i'm keeping information from you and concealing information. >> you're the boss, mr. rosenstein. >> that is correct. and my job is to respond to your concerns and we have, sir. >> did you threaten staffers on the house intelligence committee? media reports indicate you did? >> media reports are mistaken. >> sometimes this is what they said, having the nation's number one law enforcement officer threatened to subpoena your calls and e-mails is down right ch

if you remember, trey gowdy oversaw the benghazi investigation which was for a couple of years. it cost about $8 million. he also was saying that members of congress on the democratic side are frankly just -- you know, assuming that president trump is guilty of something. and if you look at the coverage of trey gowdy during the benghazi hearings, that's exactly what republicans were accused of doing. so it looks like partisan politics is at play in some of these hearings today. >> don't try to apply consistency here, that's not allowed especially in an election year in washington. >>> here with me, jackie kosinich with the daily beast, michael shear with the bloomberg times. rod rosenstein tries to keep his cool. during his remarks, he essentially went out of his way, and you have to read into this because he doesn't say it directly, but he's essentially saying, i'm the deputy attorney general, i have to follow the law. i'm not a republican member of the house who can say whatever he or she wants on television. >> i've devoted almost 30 years to the service of my country. my lin

brave people who want justice but you know a flea come in that in the now this picture was taken in benghazi. the same show was shot to prove what's going on in the central african republic one minute it's in an exercise post alongside many other photos of people who were abused to rape of women and girls who change does to one wanted children out of them in addition a full that. the winning documentary starting june fourteenth own d w. dot com hi and welcome back to sara's music today's episode is a compilation of some of my favorites so that was we've had on the program so far i love doing these compilations because it now. yes i can delve around in the serious music archive for hours and revisit some of these fantastic musicians today we're starting off with the wonderful tradition of. so daniel we are in hamburg coffeehouse you're really all over the world you actually do like discovering these new cities or do you know them already well and move them all out as when i was seven or eight my cousin that was my mentor when i was a kid to look at the maps i would study and linus natural dif

the benghazi investigation that trey gowdy talked about, 31 months. 31 months.ere were zero indictments, zero charges, except against those that perpetrated it. now, some of the other ones, you go back further in history. iran contra investigation, i have to move here so you can see this. 80 months. whitewater, 80 months. you know, we have a tendency to stand one inch from the picture, particularly when motivated bipartisan leanings and say this is the worst thing ever. how can this keep going on. truth of the matter, compare apples to apples, the mueller investigation hasn't been going on very long comparatively. i understand trey gowdy's frustration. part of that is donald trump's obsession with the investigation, he is tweeting constantly about it. trey gowdy wants to get beyond it for the country and the party, but he needs to be a student of history. there's just not evidence that this is going on anywhere near as long as some of the other investigations that are well known in our history. >> so hard to be patient. everybody wants answers immediately, espec

. >> so the irony here, of course, that gowdy himself ran the benghazi investigation if i recall fore better part of roughly two years. no criminal prosecutions. mueller's investigation has been about a year going. it continues to go on. your assessment of what we just heard from the congressman? >> i mean, the congressman is a politician. so the congressman is entitled to his opinions about what he thinks and how he thinks should go. i can say the benghazi investigation, there was just recently, you know, that investigation essentially just recently wrapped up with a conviction and a sentencing. and it's been obviously some time since that incident occurred. investigations like this, whether what happened in benghazi, or what may have happened involving the trump campaign, in russia, in interference in an election, a very complex investigation, investigations, that take a lot of evidence. both investigations frankly have an overseas component to them, of course. so those investigations take even more time. you have to look at evidence, get testimony, solicit the validity of that evi

benghazi was twice as long.rey gowdy or republicans become unhinged about that. >> house republicans passed a nonbinding measure demanding the justice department produce sensitive documents about the russia investigation within the next seven days with some threatening to impeach deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. >> let me get this straight. they want the fbi and justice department to release sensitive documents about an ongoing investigation against russia? >> mm-hmm. >> that says just about everything you need to know about how unhinged they are. >> here is more. alongside fbi director, christopher wray, rosenstein appears where republican lawmakers berated him with accusations. >> mr. rosenstein, why are you keeping information from congress? >> congressman, i am not keeping information from congress. >> in a few minutes, i think the house of representatives is going to say something different. >> i don't agree with you congressman. >> i think -- i think, i don't know why you won't give us what we asked

after have to deploy because the clerk told the liberation of benghazi we saw the majority of fatalities in libya according to ac lived in a universe of slaughter it happened in benghazi after i have to declare victory and i suspect. that the same atrocities will happen in again thank you very much for speaking to us certainly a very big picture as a political analyst joining us there from libya's capital tripoli thank you very much for your time now as you heard there from i guess a number of countries have been trying to find a political solution to the crisis the conflict in libya france and italy among others in this opinion piece by. piece borsa role and influence of regional and western countries in libya's conflict he believes that regional interference is the most significant obstacle to a sustainable peace and prosperous future in libya and interesting perspective read it on al-jazeera dot com. now libya is among the worst ranked countries in the latest global peace index but it's not just libya the annual study by the institute for economics and peace concludes the world is a l

why is it that after half a dozen investigations found no wrongdoing at benghazi, the majorities spent millions of dollars on their own benghazi select committee, and when that body found no wrongdoing either, why is it that the majority moved on to legitimize conspiracy theories about the clinton foundation and uranium 1? why is it that after the department of justice and the fbi concluded it should not charge secretary clinton with a crime, rather than accepting the conclusion as we would in most criminal cases, the judiciary and oversight majorities launched an investigation into the department of justice and the fbi? why is it that after you released this report, mr. horowitz, some of my colleagues seriously suggested that we open an investigation into your investigation of the investigation? why is it that here and now, in june of 2018, we are still talking about hillary clinton's e-mails at all? i suspect it has something to do with the way republicans have squandered their opportunity to govern and the consequences of abdicating that responsibility. house republicans have done l

now this picture was taken in benghazi. was shot to prove what's going on in the central african republic will be the. next sizable alongside many other photos of people who were abused raped women and girls who gave birth to one wanted children with a lot of them in addition the full of. documentary starting june fourteenth on d w. the a. little. hello and a warm welcome to a new edition of q no from the beautiful cinema in downtown but it coming up on the show german intellectuals as terrorist sympathizers a new documentary on the shadow of political terror in the one nine hundred seventy s. and face to face with german films a new generation of german directors take procurements history i would make it into a memorable movie from. fifty years ago in one hundred sixty eight student protests heralded a social read. lucian in its wake some radicalized young germans took up arms against the state the red army faction's terrorist campaign shook germany to its core a new documentary shows how the authorities blanket suspicion

but saying get the damn thing over with when benghazi took two and a half years.ituational ethics. it shows that is not what this is about. >> it seems that it is systematically debunked, a lot of the charges you heard. or at least tried to debunk them. this has gone on too long. rod rosenstein basically said it will go on as long as it has to. the idea that perhaps he has a conflict of interest, rod rosenstein said, believe me, if i could, i would. i would like nothing more than to not be doing this. and the idea that he is hiding something from congressional investigators. he said i'm not the one redacting here. we have given you thousands and thousands of documents. this is the way it works. >> rod rosenstein did take the gloves off and calmly kept shooting down each of these points. they are saying this is more about you than mueller. you have proven to be hiding things from us. we are focusing on you in this one. he kept point by point shooting all the allegations down. it is not actually, though -- look, this is a microcosm of what's going on. trying to pinp

listen to trey gowdy who took nearly 2 1/2 years to complete the benghazi investigation ripping rosensteinor the length of the investigation. >> if you have evidence of wrongdoing by any member of the trump campaign, present it to the damn grand jury. if you have evidence that this president acted inappropriately, present it to the american people. whatever you got. finish it the hell up. >> what the hell? rosenstein, a registered republican spent much of the hearing debunking efforts by the gop to undermine the russia probe including one memorable clash with the congressman citing a claim straight from fox news. here's manu raju. >> reporter: good morning. now the house republicans and rod rosenstein went to battle. they've been battling for months and months over a range of issues, namely the production of documents related to the clinton e-mail investigation and the russia investigation. the justice department has provided doupts. in fact, christopher wray and rod rosenstein testified they've provided 880,000 pages of documents. republicans are just not satisfied. they say these documen

breeze in north africa keeping temps is typically in the middle twenty's maybe higher than that in benghazi even the tropical showers actually for the moment are quite well spread out they are there in tropical africa from easy if you know how does through south sudan through nigeria and beyond acra being a focus they are creeping up the western side of africa actually quite well spaced . arts. you're watching al jazeera let's recap the top stories for you now the saudi marotta coalition in yemen has launched a military offensive to take the port city of new data from group the rebels it comes to spite warnings that an attack could have catastrophic communitarian ponson months as the u.a.e. had given the rebels until tuesday to leave. the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is headed to seoul south korean leaders on the summit between donald trump and kim from singapore one of the topics is sure to be trump's surprising decision to cancel the annual military drills along the korean peninsula south korea and japan say the exercises is essential to regional security football's ruling body i

remeer, republicans spent millions of dollars over four years investigating benghazi and came up withng. and yet today, they basically yelled at deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to end the russia investigation. here's retiring gocongressman trey gowdy freaking out at rosenstein today. >> we are two years into this investigation. we're a year and a half into the presidency. we are over a year in the special counsel. there is a presumption of guilt. there is a desire by democrat senators to fundraise off of your investition. more than 60 democrats have already voted to proceed with impeachment before bob mueller has found a single solitary damn thing. more than 60 have voted to move forward with impeachment. and he hasn't presented his first finding. if you have evidence of wrongdoing by any member of the trump campaign, present it to the damn grand jury. whatever you got, finish it the hell up. >> seth: what's up with trey gowdy? i mean, look at him, lose tie, messy hair. he looks like he's about to be cut off by the bartender. imhey're trying to impeach [ laughter ] of course, g

another story here the mastermind of benghazi attack sentenced to 22 years in prison.he terror attacks in 2012 in benghazi led to the death of four americans, ignited a political firestorm. charles woods is the father of ty woods. he lost his life. you think the sentencing is outrageous. make your case. >> one thing that really bothers me personally after five years, after an american diplomat has been killed for the first time in 40 years, after four americans were killed in benghazi, we finally only have one person responsible that has been brought to trial and that one person received a very light sentence. >> bill: how are you doing -- >> the worst thing about the light sentence, he will be out in a few years. but after he is released he is going to be on probation supervised here in the united states for five years. so for five years we have an american terrorist walking our streets. i thought we were supposed to get terrorists out of our country. he will be a hero to those people here in the united states that hate our government and what happens if he marries an

. >> this from the man who kept the select committee on benghazi going for two and a half years. kept it going until right after the 2016 presidential election whereupon he lost interest and quietly wrapped it up. two and a half years trey goudy's investigation. he's now demanding that the 1-year-old robert mueller investigation which resulted in lots of indictments and lots of guilty pleas and even jail time, he's insisting that one has gone on way too long and it must be -- what was he saying? must be finished the hell up. i should mention the guy who led the real benghazi attack was sentenced yesterday to 22 years in federal prison. i mention it because you may not have heard anything about it otherwise. republicans really turned out to be not that interested in it at all. unless it could be used to attack hillary clinton somehow and try to hurt her chances in the presidential election. but today, for whatever reason, republicans in congress really popped the cork on trying to shut down the special counsel's investigation into what russia did to mess with our last presidential

>> you'll remember trey gowdy as the chair who led the house select committee's investigation on benghazihan two years. it did result in no criminal indictments. the point is, though, that lasted a long time as well. our legal analyst chan wu is with me right now. look, they say this is going on too long. the benghazi probe went on a really long time and you didn't have criminal indictment, so that's noteworthy. here is how rosenstein shot back yesterday to those who threatened to hold him in contempt -- he said there are mechanisms to resolve this without threatening to hold people in contempt. "we are not in contempt of this congress. we are not going to be." are there legal grounds, do you believe, to hold him in contempt? >> probably not. and i think it's important for us to remember that in june, i think it was 2012, attorney general eric holder was held in both civil and criminal contempt by the congress. there's some similar analogiean. rosenstein, of course, is standing in for the a.g. who recused himself, and like the previous situation with congress, this doj has turned over doc

including trey gowdy who led the benghazi investigation. that lasted two-and-a-half years. this has gone on just over a year. put it in context of other investigations, much shorter than white water, iran contra, average investigation is still more than double how long this investigation has gone on so far. >> i was going to say this is a complex investigation and it is going to take some time. it has been productive. we have seen more than a dozen individuals and entities indicted, seen significant guilty pleas. congress would be well advised to be patient, let the special counsel simply do his work. >> we have the graphic showing there have been some 20 plus indictments. 17 for russian nationals or businesses, you had paul manafort and other members of people involved in the president's campaign at the time. yet republicans know how long the benghazi investigation took. how patient they were in those. why is that not set in this investigation? >> trey gowdy's comments this is tearing the country apart is ridiculous. it shows the country is torn apart the way the republica

gowdy making the accusation when he himself pursued the benghazi investigation well beyond the sell-by date speaks for itself. >> let me correct myself. 2.5 years for the benghazi investigation as you correctly point out. iran-contra went on for six or seven years like the whitewater investigation during the clinton administration. what's your bottom line assessment of what's going on now in the house judiciary committee? >> i think it's clear. it's very clear that this is an effort to discredit the fbi, to discredit the justic department, and ultimately to discredit the mueller investigation. no matter what mr. mueller brings forward, he and anyone involved in the investigation are somehow delegitimized. as a result, whatever they find is delegitimatized. it's been clear it's been going on for a long time. today is just another chapter in that long-standing effort. >> go ahead. >> wolf, the investigation has already produced results. we've had the campaign chairman indicted. the former national security adviser plead guilty to make false statements. we've had numerous pleas in terms o

it could work like benghazi. it could work like the witch hunt, who knows?hing is cold civil war, constitutional crisis, right? those are big terms. well, carl bernstein said if we're not in it now, he believes it's imminent. >> provocative stuff. i will be watching as always. thanks, my friend. we have some final thoughts and reflections. i have a story that comes to mind that i want to share with you that will give us some perspective. a very powerful lesson about the struggle we have going on in our society right now. next. join t-mobile. and get netflix included for the whole family. so you can get lost in space in your own backyard... or get pumped up for your grand entrance. only t-mobile lets you watch your favorite movies and shows in more places, without paying more. get an unlimited family plan with netflix on us. and right now at t-mobile, buy one samsung galaxy s9 and get one free. with tripadvisor, finding your perfect hotel at the lowest price... is as easy as dates, deals, done! simply enter your destination and dates... and see all the hotels

there were also i believe eight investigations of benghazi as well.what strikes me as odd, too, if you go back to the watergate days, when republicans of good conscious put no such time line on the investigations that were taking place then and, in fact, insisted that the president ultimately own up to anything he might have done. this is in sharp contrast to the history of the republican party with respect to how they deal with things like improper activities by the president, in this case, potential collusion with the russians, other allegations that adam schiff made that potentially deal with money laundering and the like, so it seems incongruous you have a cadre of individuals demanding a shutdown of an investigation that has yet to be completed. >> is this just politics or does trey gowdy legitimately think the investigation has run its course? i mean it definitely hangs over the president. he wakes up half the time tweeting about it. >> yes, but this notion that this russia investigation is tearing the country apart, you know, i travel around th

it took trey gowdy two years and seven months to investigate the 2012 benghazi attack.o you know what his result was? a report. that's it. mueller has been at this for over one year and one month. he already has one person sentenced, five guilty pleas, 79 criminal charges, and who knows what else is to come. so should gowdy of all people really be saying it's time to wrap this up and it's been too long a time after spending two years and a cup of months on an investigation that resulted in nothing? >> well, this investigation will end when its end. as a guy who served as chairman of the ethics committee, i can tell you the more you investigate, that just opens up more doors and you have to chase things down. and these investigations in my view always take longer than any of us would like. i believe director mueller is going to in fact present his findings to the grand jury and ultimately to congress. i think this is going to be dumped in congress' lap at some point. i don't know what mueller is going to find, but i think trey is a good friend, and trey is knowing to get

it's another benghazi to them. another weird rabbit hole to go down. >> but this shows the different roles that rosenstein is playing at the same time. despite the fact that he was part of the comey firing, in favor of doing that, you have representative swalwell, a democrat, saying we need to keep him around. for the democrats they think he's their best bet and they're afraid of what trump would put. that's their redline, i don't know if they can enforce it. >> congressman, that-tas we're g warned the producers, we're trying to figure out what stop this is president from getting rid of mueller? what stops him is rosenstein and jeff sessions but mainly rosenstein who appointed him. is that why the republicans on your committee seem to be targeting rosenstein from a variety of directions? >> they're tries to put an asterisk on this investigation should it bring more indictments, especially if it hits the president or his family. but what stops the president is public sentiment. he wants to be popular. he wants to be

but let me just remind you, trey gowdy oversaw the benghazi investigation, and you can just use your google to go back and look at clips of trey gowdy and other republicans who had a presumption of guilt about hillary clinton. they said that not only was she mishandling the security of the personnel there, they -- that hillary clinton issued a stand-down order so that americans who are under attack by terrorists were killed because they did not receive the proper help. and he also during that same time even during the current investigation, president trump and the rnc have been sending out a fund-raising appeal because of what they say is a witch-hunt. so, look, i think we know what happens during these hearings, but it is kind of -- to watch members of congress to say the things they say. >> i do want to drill down, i want to drill down. josh, help me out on this one. what jim jordan and rod rosenstein were going back and forth about. this gets to -- there are many elements of this, right? it all kind of centers around the russia investigation, the origins of it, and that's what thi

there was a cry for help from benghazi and the united nations. the west is so utterly ignorant... country any better. same thing with iraq. you've got to have a ten year plan and you've got to know the society. the victorians, the imperialists, when they went into the middle east they spoke the languages, even the bedouin tribal and bridges, they knew the societies, which they took control of. we are in the middle of this great gap of information and knowledge and trust and then we go in. i don't think it helps. as we look at the end of the g7 summit that perhaps has no place any more in your collective view, what is your hope for what might emerge, if we can get beyond this uncertain phase? does human creativity give you cause for hope? i don't know. i wish i did know. but i think yasmin is right that what we are seeing is the unravelling of that post—war consensus which has been going on slowly for some time. i remember in 2003 tony blair saying we needed to rewrite the refugee convention. the world has changed, those rules were set up in a sort of atlanticist world. we have a v

and dispensing justice with an unforgiving hand in benghazi and i finally in iraq on al jazeera. this is al jazeera. blog cell robin and this is the al-jazeera these are live what headquarters here in the. coming up in the next sixty minutes everyone signed the final communique but the signs of a rift of the g. seven summit were impossible to hide also president trouble left canada early his next stop is single pole and a high stakes meeting with north korea's kim jong il and. also in the program a search for survivors around guatemala as one becomes more difficult unless hopeful. and with only a few days left before the world cup kicks off in russia we look at the connection between sports and politics. but into the news our world leaders have wrapped up the g. seven summit by signing a joint communique that's usually a routine part of any summit but after days of tension between the u.s. and its closest allies just getting president trump to agree to the document counts as an accomplishment other leaders had trouble hiding their disappointment and though everyone smiles for the

i never believed cost mattered to anyone on benghazi, whitewater.o you believe the cost factor matters at all, anna palm senator. >> these are things no american voter really understands. we talk about how big the budget is. is it increasing the price of milk, the gas station? if he can make that direct line, maybe. >> eugene scott, i just brought up the "washington post". you're the "washington post" reporter. what is top of your tablet this week? >> yeah. it's difficult to get around the roseanne story and the unfolding of it from trump making it about him in terms of wanting abc and disney to apologize for offensive comments made. to the samantha bee situation where she wound up apologizing for using language not identical to roseanne barr's remarks about valerie jarrett but directed toward ivanka trump. >> how do you compare the two or do they compare at all, eugene scott? roseanne barr versus samantha bee. >> i think they are both crass, inappropriate words. but quite frankly, i think you have to look at the implications of comparing black amer

for any of you who follow the benghazi hearings. all nine of them. that might surprise you. because he certainly went after me to no avail. nevertheless he did. he called me and wanted to talk about the state department. i was happy to talk to him. because i think we have to get back to talking to each other. and more importantly listening to each other. we cannot allow the partisanship and the political -- of everything to interfere with our national interest. i told him that i thought he should take a hard look at retaining career diplomats who could advise him. because you never know what might happen. you have no idea where the next hotspot or crisis will come from. i have no -- i don't have any idea as to whether he will be confirmed or anything he would do if you were. i think it is important to say we have to get back on a more balanced path. in order to protect our interest and to really represent the united states effectively around the world. that comes primarily out of the state department. >>> i know we have very little time. i wanted to say in the spirit that su

that we need to use military force in libya to stop what we thought was going to be genocide in benghaziported us. he abstained on those two security council resolutions. i was in the room, in the kremlin, when he made clear to us that he thought we were doing the right thing. putin two days later publicly criticised it. so was he the public? yes, he was. putin was the main decision maker. but on occasion he did things that we thought were good for us. well, thatis we thought were good for us. well, that is an interesting way of looking at it, but let me be blunt. is it not the case that vladimir putin is brilliant at ruthlessly exploiting weakness? and what he saw in the course of the obama administration, in terms of foreign policymaking, directly relevant to russia, by laterally, but also in the wider sphere of the middle east and elsewhere, he saw a president whom he believed to be weak?” and elsewhere, he saw a president whom he believed to be weak? i don't think of it that way. i mean, he looks for weakness, you're absolutely right about that. he pushes what he believes to be russi
