Simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up a certain negligence. A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with mina care and. Making history donald trump asked become the 1st sitting u. S. President to enter north korea and the north korean media and trump himself dubs the meeting an amazing event the reaction back home was far more muted if not outright critical. Vague talk about talks while kim continues to develop Nuclear Warheads and missiles seems like this gigantic p. R. Stunt in trenches unembellished his authoritarian rule without any real meaningful strategy for denuclearization out president shouldnt be squandering american influence on photo ops and exchanging love letters with a ruthless dictator instead we should be dealing with north korea through a principle diplomacy that promotes u. S. Security defense how allies and uphold human rights i have no problem with him sitting down with kim june in north korea or anyplace else but whats going to happen tomorrow and the next day if were going to bring peace to this world we need to move forward diplomatically and not just a Photo Opportunities after crossing the demarcation line between the 2 koreas with his counterpart kim jong il and translator a lot of progress had been made during their talks but functions against pyongyang remain in place our Senior Correspondent well our galaxy of explains whether they symbolic meeting could affect the almost total economic blockade of north korea. Prove the buzz hype and coverage denuclearization was going nowhere it had stalled again despite all the summits and all the handshakes perhaps what it needed was something crazy something radical. The 1st sitting u. S. President to visit north korea who would have thought the worlds most militarized border to boot they shook hands again and talked german and trump trying to revive denuclearization efforts the. Clinically dead made some progress so we had to start small form teams to find Common GroundLittle Things that could lead to bigger ones and pointing everything as is tradition now of those sanctions theyre saying on them are some point look im looking forward to taking them off i dont like sanctions bring on his country im looking forward but the sanctions remain useful but at some point during the negotiation things going to happen and thats what well be talking about promises promises it was sanctions the torpedoed the last summit and the state says trump until this verified denuclearization progress however long that takes and thats what bugs north korea how can 2 sides have meaningful honest discussions when one of them is on its knees being strangled by the this is a manifestation of the most extreme hostile acts by the United States all these speak clearly to the fact that the world dream of the United States to bring us to our knees. By means of sanctions and pressure has not changed at all but grows even more undisguised now factor in those thousands of u. S. Troops stationed in south korea with guns trained in the north and youll understand why trust is well it isnt their young young knows its history too many nations that have gone through denuclearization with then invaded or bombed by the us i doubt kim jong un wants to join that club america fears north korea is just needing the month to get out from under those sanctions decades of talks and the kims have stuck by their nukes we dont expect germany to tell us the truth thats why were going to verify any denuclearization that takes place thats why we will ensure that we see actual on the ground on the ground outcomes were not going to take anyones word for it its not all doom and gloom though this is an ancient conflict by modern standards and this is never going to be solved overnight they need to talk and thats what theyre doing and they seem to get it now that you start small and build up the big and hopefully sometime soon the worlds most militarized dangerous border will well i better become any less tense but at least theyll be no Nuclear Standoff to worry about i think its like if theyre healthy if you can show that at least superficially he is trying to denuclearize the world unless hes actually serious even if the superficial aspects we we think are going on that there are also a lot of people who support something the state Department People im not talking about of this world i think you probably need those missiles and you surely will be controlled people like that sometimes in the middle actually times right in the middle there i do think. However theatrical if you. But if you see a story i mean stepping over that you know if you 6 out of those. 6 and so i have to say. Chaotic scenes in Hong Kong Riot Police are fine tear gas as protesters ended their occupation and vandalism at the Central Chamber of parliament rioters got into the building after smashing a glass door with a trolley despite being pepper sprayed by officers. Who. Was it was. The. This monday marks 22 years since hong kongs handover from britain to china but the anniversary has been overshadowed by weeks of demonstrations against a new extradition bill and Brutal Police response to the rallies if passed the bill would allow beijing to seek the extradition of those convicted for serious crimes from hong kong to Mainland China supporters of the bill say it will stop the territory from becoming a refuge for criminals however many fear it will lead to political persecution from beijing and undermine the areas autonomy britains foreign secretary has waded in with an anniversary statement warning china to respect hong kongs autonomy but beijing reminded him to stop meddling junk food food when they dont want cards china since no foreign country has the right to that of the were urged britain to know its place and to stop interfering in any way in hong kong matters and to focus on its risperidone stability rather than the opposite we shared their thoughts on the u. K. s reaction. What jimmy hunder stealing of course east because the election is the Prime Minister es preaching and then he need to show you steve falters and the British Public that hes doing the right thing here and hes trying to be the i join to creation and on hong kong with china so this is basically i believe has to do with the mystical decks in the u. K. More people more foreign secretary more president s more Prime Ministers in the world should actually express their concern about what is happening in hong kong about what were trying now is trying to do through the paper hong kong because charnel is technically trying to impose a system of governance that devol that they impose on the Chinese People people in hong kong are very rightly opposing up. A new commission chief junko younker has again suspended a block summit as the leaders of Member States squabble over who should get the used top jobs but talks in brussels were into that 20 half hour the europe correspondent piece all of a house will. Well a number of big jobs in the european institutions need to be decided in the rist future really but the biggest job among them in the one thats causing the most consternation when it comes to putting forward a candidate is European Commission president its who will take over from sean claude younker and what we understand is that that is not happening at the moment because of a split within the conservative bloc in the European Council of the European Councils made up of the heads of government of the 28 e. U. Member states they decide on who they want to nominate the candidate that candidates then put forward to the European Parliament who vote on it they can get past the nomination stage at the moment young himself part of the process of searching for his replacement wasnt giving much away to the press. Leadership someone to say. Well certainly wasnt holding back the french president was well visibly angry at times when he spoke to the press he said it was embarrassing that they couldnt come up with a solution in the e. U. 2028 in the European Council and he said that if they were in this position perhaps the whole system needed to be changed it will be said to me today has ended in failure because we were unable to reach any agreement something i think reflects very badly on the council and well when it comes to who is causing the problems who is causing the problems with getting this deal across its really a group thats being led by poland and by italy well i had initially. For the job of European Commission president she then switched her allegiance when she realized that wasnt going to happen and had backed the timmermans plan however she said its progress was being made but this it was a very difficult road ahead still to be delayed. Things are going to the talks will be easier and thats a pretty mildly was Even Parliament which is to be captioned is fixated on the principle of tolls paid today and yet the biggest force the European Peoples Party has no majority and so donal to say will have a difficult task today the group will try to be constructive so the European Council the heads of government of the 28. 00 Member States of the European Union will recall of even brussels on tuesday 11 am as they try to work out who should be the next president of the European Commission plenty still to go yet when it comes to who will take over from john claude younger still anybodys guess right now. In germany 3 men have been charged in connection with the sexual abuse of more than 40 children aged between 3 and 42 at the 1st bags have pleaded guilty reportedly took place over a number of years as a campsite in a small german town of loopt or between them the men are accused of some 450. 00 cases of child abuse local authorities are being blamed for failing to act earlier. You. Know most of the abuse was by a single suspect identified only as andreas v. Hes accused of almost 306 crimes against 23 children the offense is a believed to have been committed in 1998 and then between 2008 and last year. The police are accused of inaction despite evidence of abuse for years on the authorities also blamed for letting evidence disappear back in february they admitted losing almost a terabyte of evidence meanwhile one of the childrens representatives ses the victims were questioned in an inappropriate way for their age 20 or 30 themselves acknowledge there was a Police Failure calling the situation a debacle the regions interior minister says this was worse than negligence and should never happen again we spoke to one of the victims lawyers about the mistakes made. If you look we have seen numerous flaws the most terrifying is the disappearance of 155. 00 c. D. s from a secure Police Station were talking about the c. D. s which were found at the campsite in the main suspects trailer it turned out that the people with prior convictions for possession of child pornography were working at that Police Station and still are as for the interrogation of the children they were questioned at the Police Station but this is not what should have happened there are specific ways in which children can be questioned and it involves support from social services and the establishment of a trusting relationship it should not happen as an interview at a Police Station that my opinion matters are allowed to escalate because of the careless approach to information on child pornography and paedophilia and the departments employees lack of awareness it is simply unacceptable for a department to react in this manner and then try to cover up its own negligence. The un has condemned a terror attack in the Afghan Capital that had scores of School Children a taliban militants there tonight in an explosives laden lorry on monday morning in a civilian area before opening fire on Security Forces 16 people are reportedly confirmed dead and more than 100. 00 injured the taliban says it was targeting a Defense Ministry building an attack comes 2 days after the taliban and u. S. Resumed peace talks in qatar. Were saying with afghanistan a u. S. Army captain says his book exposing alleged mis practice by the pentagon there was heavily redacted watching hill served in afghanistan from 2 1008 8 to 2009 he says he uncovered taliban infiltrators on his base but commanders refused to question them concerned about an imminent Taliban Attack he interrogated them himself firing shots into the ground to scare them into talking the army then launched an internal investigation before discharging him from the military. Captain hill joins me live now i meant catching hell great to have you with us you also the author of the book a dog company and what worries you most about commanders initial refusal to question those taliban in full traces. Or theyre not taking the word of the ground commanders that are on the front lines fighting a new start to. Deny their intelligence their perspective i think the whole idea of fighting in and were trying to accomplish over there falls apart. And how commonplace do you think such failures are in the u. S. Military. I think theyre fairly commonplace of course our footprint both in iraq and afghanistan has been reducing nif achille over the last 10 years however with the footprint that we do have there is a sizeable relatively sizable Insider Threat to the Ground Forces on the ground for deployed. For u. N. Finds the u. S. And our allies in afghanistan responsible for more civilian deaths in the 1st 3 months of this year than the taliban and isis together so it isnt your call to further relax pence a good rules against enemy combatants highly irresponsible. I think the underlying premise that youre getting at may be. Too narrow in scope. I think the idea the ideal behind why were overseas in iraq and afghanistan is what needs to be questioned i think a lot of times we get fixated on individual instances of civilian casualties and persecuting military Service Members for the collateral thats created however the type of fight that weve been forced to engage in there is a large possibility or risk for inevitable collateral to include civilian casualties so my overall idea or message is if youre going to send military Service Members overseas to fight in these sorts of conflicts one of the rules of engagements are outdated and when i say rules of engagement i mean the law of war the law of Armed Conflict dont necessarily account for an enemy force that doesnt reciprocate them and the other part of that is you have an enemy thats hidden behind civilians so theres going to be inevitable collateral so you cant place an undue burden on the Service Members on the ground when that collateral is created and if you do then the people that you need to bring alongside them when you do prosecute them needs to be the politicians in the senior military that sent them over there to begin with. You mentioned at the pentagon is overly concerned about protecting the enemy how does that put u. S. Troops that race. It sounds like a pretty obvious answer for such an obvious question if we give the enemy more rights than theyre due in a combat zone in other words if ringback as i just said the geneva conventions concerning how we fight and in how we conduct ourselves in warfare are written under the idea that the enemy were super kate how we fight and how we conduct ourselves in combat and the enemy does in fact reciprocate and find thats thats one thing all together but however were fighting in a in a situation thats unprecedented for example with isis and the enemy. Does not fight according to those conventions and so were trying to force an undue burden on our military Service Members to conduct themselves when there is such a deficit or disparity between how they fight and the the enemys forces are fighting one interesting thing that you do say is that the u. S. Shouldnt apply. Rules when feinstein was in countries like afghanistan and now many like coal that incredibly race things and reminiscent of colonial art to choose what would you say so that. Yeah so im just a simple or fighter in future mean if you will and the 2 terms that you just used racism in colonialism. Or a loss for me i dont see how those apply at all but maybe in a more academic discussion i could be convinced otherwise the simple fact is that when youre on the Ground Fighting a war and. The you are dealing with a combat situation you can apply the same. Rule of law the standard that you have in a western country like the United States or name a country in europe thats very progressed and developed you can apply those principles in that framework in a warzone especially when youre dealing with a 4th 5th or 6th world country it just doesnt make sense because there is no framework that exist to allow for that rule of law to be executed by human life it makes sense when life isnt and no matter whether there are enough 1st world country or 3rd world country. I dont disagree with that yeah youve talked about a minute remain with you you talked about the case of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher he was jailed for shootings in iraq so you believe the rank and file on made scapegoats for military leaders. I do believe that i think. As i just mentioned earlier we are often placed in untenable situations in wars that have no end just look at afghanistan right now weve been there for nearly 20 years and isis for example in the edit gallagher case just to be clear i think at the gallery is a hero not just to the United States and United States military but to the world because hes over there fighting isis which is an enemy that very few countries are willing to put forth troops and resources to can to fight themselves so he basically is being charged with premeditated murder for an isis fighter in my mind and im just a simple man here but that sounds like an oxymoron that you would send a navy seal to go fight isis which is a cancer upon humanity yes there are humans but theyve made themselves to be monsters and so they should be treated as such and so when you say that youre going to charge someone with premeditated murder of isis in a combat zone little own a navy seal i just think thats completely contradictory doesnt make any sense the charges themselves dont make sense was there ever an investigation into need as he refused to request to actually question those suspected taliban spies. No that was basically just sidestepped and the command. Of their form may issue with the things that i did but never looked internally to the things that they did wrong and thats not uncommon i think thats true in any doubt at the gallaghers case as well as my own i you said how youll book you dont company it was redacted i can you tell us how and why. Yes so the pentagon has an office a security review. And they claim on their website that they can turn a manuscript around in 2 months and that is to review it for sensitive material and then get back to the authors with their recommendations on what material should be removed or changed they kept dark company for a year and the content that they redacted 95 percent of it according to experts that we hired. 3rd Party Experts that we hired to review the manuscript outside of the pentagon stated that 95 percent of content that was asked to be redacted or removed was actually on federally sponsored websites thats us going to government federally sponsored websites. Ok captain logic hello thought of the book dog company thank you for joining us on r. T. International. The man expected to become britains next Prime Minister has taken issue with remarks made by Vladimir PutinBoris Johnson has vowed to show that the president was wrong to know that liberalism is now obsolete the favorite in the u. K. s conservative Party Leadership contest insists that brags it will prove his point has arties party boyko from london with more details. Ever since that demand putin declared that liberalism is obsolete in that interview ahead of the g 20 summit in japan theres been plenty of discussion about what liberalism actually means there are plenty of those that are keen to counter the russian president s hypothesis one such figure is Boris Johnson the favorite to be the u. K. s next Prime Minister hes written a lengthy article in the telegraph where hes defended liberalism in the u. K. Saying that its made the country a fair a prosperous and a Meritocratic Society and he contrasts that with the way that he views the kremlin and in one part of the article he really lays into the russian political system but the conclusion of boriss defense of liberalism is that the u. K. Has to leave the e. U. By the 31st of october otherwise the u. K. Risks looking like an illiberal and undemocratic country one of the problems with the e. U. As it has developed over the past 45 years of our membership is that it has begun seriously to undermine the fundamental characteristic of a liberal democracy that the people should have the power at elections to remove those who make the laws the e. U. System makes this impossible if we want to uphold liberal values we must leave by october the 31st and we will see from boriss perspective the u. K. Is a liberal democracy and to prove that its got to leave the e. U. By that how low we deadline now the European Union doesnt consider itself any less of a liberal democracy than the u. K. I have to say that i strongly disagree with the main argument. That liberalism is obsolete. We are here. Also too. Really when you vocally defend and promote liberal democracy donald tasks already complained that the u. K. Is wasting all the extra time it was granted in april for that brags that extension and i suspect he might not agree with Boris Johnsons idea that the u. K. Should leave the e. U. A. S. A. P. In order to prove that its a liberal democracy and what its exposed is that everyones definition of the concept of liberalism and has to be different and that may be due to their personal political objectives to scarpe work welcoming immigration and over the country forward but since the last couple of years since a referendum the cameron is going down so im here for to 70 and i believe seen this on. So a lot of things but we dont have the right person coming out and you actually kind contradicts what were doing of our word and what we say and when it came to and it came to the whole opinion on whats going on it was for the flies and fake promises so when it comes to liberalism is there really were. I dont think its going to prove anything i think if anything its going to prove how incompetent a lot of the people sitting in the top are. Palestinians have reacted furiously as top u. S. Diplomats took part in the opening of a tourist site dug under palestinian homes in East Jerusalem u. S. Ambassador to israel David Friedman and Donald Trumps peace envoy jason green blotch were filmed enthusiastically hammering the wall leading to the pilgrimage roadside as part of the Opening Ceremony the tunnel was opened without the permission of palestinian residents some of whom reportedly had to leave their house is due to the excavations.

Swedens liberal party has elected a new leader billed as a rising political star who could change the partys fortunes now kosta boonie has however shocked many with her views arties donald quarter explains for some young course of who might have seemed perfect to lead swedens liberal party shes black shes an immigrant but actually shes pretty inconvenient at least for a number of her colleagues who are leaving in protest. Now that i thought it toler im leaving the liberal stuff to 52 years as a member ive always been a social liberal and will remain so but with a new direction there is no place for me it is with Great Sadness that the fundamental social liberal values that have been so important to me in my political career for many years and now its risk of being eroded in favor of a credit down invest e.
