Going to take a short break right now and when were back well continue talking with dr massey a bar i have that iran analyst and a former National Intelligence counselor and well talk more about the challenges they todays world order facing stay with us. About your sudden passing ive only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. Your out to you as we all knew it would i tell you im sorry for me i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. I remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. But then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didnt like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with death this one difference i speak to now because there are no other takers. To claim that Mainstream Media has met its maker. All across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who create interviewed by a little sample song alone events im going to guess will elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities many by the bell of the rubble of. Actual issue guys who got very well in the book about decor by ben this is a member of us that got them out of it overall robert or your member of the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water is about water but its also over much more than war its about the hurt and the redistribution of all of those girls and their debt down wars the war and all. Other white. Many clubs over the years so i know the game and saw. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the final school its about the passion from the families its the age of the super money billionaire owners and spend be true to the twenty million and one player. Who its an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game like greeks a woman runs for. The base is going to. And were back with dr matthew barras a cia veteran analyst and a former National Intelligence council are discussing u. S. Russian spat and other issues causing global concern and i think turkey a nato member waste currently attacking the syrian kurds who are here u. S. Allies as washington going to do anything about this so are they going to throw the currents to who are lying on and on to the bus i think. Washing it is very concerned about turkey. Where turkey is heading. So yes there are efforts to to or to warn turkey against its attacks but you know it is a nato member when there is an effort not to alienate for their turkey theres been you know tense relations between u. S. And turkey for some time so i think the effort is to handle this in a very low key manner out of the public eye. Destiny you are seven have enough leverage to stop turkey anyway i dont think we have the leverage you know theres. I mean in the past turkey has taken unilateral actions that have highly displeased the washington. Turkey believe this is very much a threat and you know in the case of any country that believes that they face an existential threat from some sources its very hard to to deter it from carrying out actions to eliminate that threat. Now for decades youve been analyzing and predicting crisis for the u. S. Government how do you expect the turkish intervention to unfold and what consequences will it have well hopefully turkey doesnt mean that its warning the us but does not. Tries to avoid hitting certainly us first and now. And also. Draws backwards on here its actual. Actions against the kurds. You know as i say i think this is a difficult negotiation but i dont think turkey wants to completely alienate the us pentagon has recently revealed a new us to fast track which sas that interstate strategic competition with russia and china is the number one concern for the us is terrorism no longer the biggest threat to america it isnt i mean this is a dramatic switch it on terrorism is still a big threat. And you know any u. S. President does not want to see a repeat of the nine eleven episode so we have been hardening our borders. And we continue. In the middle east and elsewhere cooperated with countries who are fighting terrorism and following also. The spread of extreme extremism in the u. S. Or elsewhere to try to dan to any terrorist attacks but increasingly you know u. S. Is Foreign Policy elite believes that were falling behind china on Technology Certain technologies or that theyre moving ahead on certain technologies. And they actually despite having lots of problems with how Foreign Policy is executed under President Trump actually the Foreign Policy elite both republican and democrat would agree with those statements in the National Defense strategy. To us and in fact abandoning the war on terror are returning to a cold war type of thinking and if so why i wouldnt say its abandoning totally as i talked earlier but i do think that it does worry that. Its margin i mean the u. S. Believes if you go back to the past twenty years you know there was a period in the ninetys when the u. S. Believed it was the unit polar power so clearly above every other power in the world and able to take unilateral action what youve seen in the last decade or two is the fact us seeing china particularly rise very quickly and there is a warri on the economic side you know china is six seven years away from becoming the biggest economic power in market value terms so that is the concern i think were approaching in an interesting way another spot nick moment. As you remember in the fiftys when the u. S. Worried it was falling behind the soviet union and Technology Development russia and china are cold revisionist powerset want to shape the world under their modelling the latest us to fan strategy so to me it sounds tat an american mindset there is to American World to you which is right and there is all the rest which are incorrect or adversary revisionist and need to be confronted how can the u. S. Exist and multiple reality with this type of uni polar mentality well thats thats a big difficulty and thats something that. Ive been worried about for years because i think the u. S. Is going to remain a great power in whatever sort of. World order we have but if it continues to play its cards. You know like it did in the ninetys believing it. Was a you know paul or power could do these things unilaterally and i think we. Could be in for a rough ride because i dont think its just china or russia but i dont think other powers want to see you know polar world with the u. S. As the top power now in your book the future declassified you say that america has to take charge and direct the needed changes in the world what about all the countries of the world that arent excited about the american direction i mean do you think they should be forced into following americas elite no i mean i think way to you earlier said about a poly centric world is correct and if you have a poly centric world then that means that the u. S. Has to sit down with other powers and players in the world and we have to think about how we can Work Together we do have an enormous of a number of and weve talked about some of these shared interests so the effort should be thinking about how do we cooperate in dealing with the shared interests. So anderson and youre talking about the u. S. Adopting a sensible Strategic Policy and going through with it but if we try to look at it from a non American Point of view we see that since iraq invasion in two thousand and three american Foreign Policy has been impulsive and quite chaotic and focused on its own interests rather than the common one and has contributed to the mess in the middle east rather than solving anything and after two decades of this how can the u. S. Regain the trust of the International Community and its leadership ability because i mean so far and i repeat from an outside point of view its not been ticket well i completely understand you know your view on it. And i think Many Americans would also share your view that the invasion of iraq was a strategic blunder and disaster for the u. S. And they were very unhappy about and thats why they the popularity of george w. Bush went down in his second term but you know americans look on this is well we had good intentions we were trying to deal with what we thought was a threat of weapons proliferation. And in afghanistan we are trying to rebuild the the country now that doesnt exist the good intentions doesnt excuse what it happened and the disrupt jund disarray that happened in the middle east but that is still how a lot of americans look on that the rest of the world is very focused on the disastrous results the u. S. Public and elite tends to think more more about the intentions were. Seeing those is good intentions almost a decade ago. You set cybersecurity as a top threat now the pentagon has recently proposed writing a Nuclear Response to devastating cyber attack into the u. S. Military doctrine what kind of a hostile action in cyber space what merits a Nuclear Attack well i think in the in the. Pentagons mind it would be to disable. Critical infrastructure so for example like the electric grid in the us or the functioning of Financial Institutions in the u. S. Now whether they would actually im not sure that even those actions. Would. They certainly dont justify in my mind a Nuclear Attack but i am not sure if they would actually trigger one. Because i think you know most americans are very scared about what would happen after they did trade Nuclear Attack and that would be particularly against russia china or another Nuclear Power there would be retribution. On that optimistic note thank you very much. Were talking to Matthew Maurice and cia veteran analyst and former National Intelligence counsellor about all the major challenges that put our pulled order to test thats it for this edition of the next time. Ron was close to the first out of the jaws of. The concepts playing to perform i had actually prepared myself to die. No said he did what. I was sorry when i asked. You to slow in the home of.

Major oman salute both fulton so the very last moment of his life against an overwhelming number of terrorists he was bugged and surrounded when thats what was.

In the russian capital a memorial has been set up side the Defense Ministry people have been leaving flowers and we are now in the crimean city of sevastopol people lead our country in the shape of a jet to honor philip offs memory. Kilometers of rubble on ruination a vast desolate city strewn with conflicts all night then to find bodies thats the state of mosul today after your own from its liberation arties video agency ruptly has been capturing images of the iraqi cities harder we post Islamic State reality we need to warn you again you may find the following footage highly upsetting. How many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred are there any more yes in houses and all their odds. Are i dont i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we are currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is. We havent received any kind of aid since things finished here seven months ago on one occasion did i receive a small box of food bombs no food nothing. Call our Senior Correspondent witnessed the liberation operation and its aftermath he shared his experiences with us in the studio work here. Seven months since the battle of mosul ended theyre still digging up peoples bodies and i was there when these bodies had just begun to rot and i dont the gull ever forget it was the smell it was beyond sickening beyond north you know there were areas entire districts in mosul where you could hardly breathe properly the real heroes are the people doing the digging the people the rescuers that are sifting through all this all this wreckage and pulling out these bodies theyre so desensitized you can see theyre not even wearing breathing mosques or even even rags but then again theyre paid pennies to do this hard work because obviously jobs are scarce in moves as standing buildings. You just described a traumatic and have rendered experience. And youve outlined lots of difficulties but were there any other problems that were highlighted when you were that well there is still a huge problem and that is unexploded bombs shells mines isis booby trap suicide vests and one of those are still are still all over mosul and when kids are playing for example on wrecked buildings or when rescuers are digging out a body when homeowners come back to their destroyed houses trying to salvage what they can thats when those bombs go off and rescuers tell us every day they get several more new victims of well the battle of the battle of mosul but we were there from the very beginning from when those u. S. Led Coalition Jets bombed isis in in mosul day and night then when it was safer we got a little closer to see what those explosions really caused the price of the liberation of mosul. Oh. The billion cattle thieves are a fact of life in this short of situation. Do you agree that some of the the high level of i think ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this. Behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shield theyre going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding to the problem congresswoman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and theyre exploiting man and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is him become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things were doing although we will try. Laboring street all but destroyed the street across. The street over there its the same story wherever you look. First look how close the border scary and the all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take to get rid of. Let me show you west mosul now a waste. The city for all intents and purposes has been erased and theres little or nothing left so its no surprise people dont want to return they would rather live in tents on one issue i was really excited to return to my home and see it now when i see it illustrates i wish id never come back this was iraqs second largest city founded thousands of years ago and its been a pillar of religion architecture and culture ever since its reconstruction will never be the same if it even happens and its population will be massively diminished
