Civil population the most responsible. Jensen to be sure the great thing before they design. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our q. And moscow thanks for joining us this hour. A u. S. Military judge has ruled the lead prosecutor in the case of a navy seal accused of committing several war crimes one week before the trial has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the republican congressman himself a former soldier recently defended the accused in a way that shocks. And reports the case of a u. S. Navy seal accused of some pretty nasty crimes in iraq has grabbed headlines the man is Eddie Gallagher hes accused of murder attempted murder and a slew of other crimes now according to reports when his team initially reported him and demanded an investigation nothing was done about it he is teammates say they saw him taking pointless shots they say they saw him gunned down and. Old man in a white robe as well as a girl that was simply walking with other girls furthermore the teammates insist that he was unloading gunfire as well as rockets on the areas that were not known to have enemy forces now it all sounds pretty horrendous but some members of congress are speaking up on any gallaghers behalf congressman Duncan Hunter not only defends eddies actions but says that based on his own experiences serving in iraq killing civilians is just part of the job so i was an artillery officer and we fired hundreds of rounds in a palooza killed probably hundreds of civilians if not scores of not hundreds of civilians probably killed women and children if there were any left in the in the city when we invaded so do i get judged too in addition to the other crimes that he is charged with taking a photograph of himself next to the corpse of a captured i still combatant that he allegedly stabbed to death now congressman Duncan Hunter says that taking photographs with dead bodies is not uncommon. So weve got a sitting member of congress who is now emitting that he himself is guilty of the crimes for which any gallagher is now charged now what about pentagon war and military courts if mistreatment of the dead were committed intentionally it could be considered a violation of the law of war u. S. Service members have been charged and punished under the uniform code of military justice for posing for pictures with human casualties by any standard. War crimes trial he should be brought up on charges this idea that 5 year and 7 year statute of limitations actually not true. Nazi war criminals that 30 and 50 years later. Still brought up on charges and 31. 00 people in the u. S. Officers. Who are guilty of war crimes should and ultimately. Well get caught up on charges of war crimes keep in mind that trump has already pardoned Michael Brown hen a former soldier convicted of killing a prisoner trumps critics say that sends a bad message will look at a lot of different partners for a lot of different people some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard long you know we teach him how to be great fighters and then when they fight sometimes they get really treated very unfairly in this case the president is also the commander in chief of the armed forces so he is in fact undercutting the rules and regulations that contribute to good order and discipline in the military and that to me is anathema and its immoral those who committed the crimes such as Duncan Hunter defending the crimes or a navy seal operations chief Edward Gallagher he is facing a pardon this elected representative is to say no charges and yet Chelsea Manning julian a song and. For revealing these crimes are facing very heavy charges now not shows the absolute wallace of United States war today thats the way they conduct war.

Its now day 3 of Donald Trumps state visit to the u. K. Today hes in portsmouth joining the queen and Prime Minister theresa may for the 75th anniversary of the d. Day landings and world war 2 event is also being attended by french president emanuel german chancellor Angela Merkel and other european leaders on tuesday the u. S. President spent the day in talks with his british counterpart and they reaffirmed the special relationship between britain and america. The extraordinary alliance between the american and the british people its the greatest alliance the world has ever known ive always believed that cooperation and compromise on the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this more true that in the special relationship. Trump and may also discuss. The prospects of a trade deal and security concerns over chinese tech giant wall way u. S. President said a phenomenal trade deal was possible once the u. K. Had finally broke the ice for iran both sides committed to ensuring tehran it will never develop Nuclear Weapons and although they disagree on the threat posed by war way they vowed to protect intelligence sharing our correspondent. Has more on the top of. The 2 not always seeing eye to eye on politics but today finding some Common Ground around the special relationship donald trump going so far to say the relationship with britain is the greatest alliance in the world and on the issue of the brics it he mentioned that there will. Phenomenal opportunities for trade links and trade deals in the post britain as the u. K. Makes preparations to exit the European Union the United States is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u. S. And the u. K. There is tremendous potential trade deal now he seemed to be almost reading from a script because he moved away from his usual famous candid approach but he kept that behavior at bay apart from when talking about Jeremy Corbett and in fact we actually saw a dose of his signature. As the protests i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the Prime Minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people on the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i said where are the protests i dont see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came 1st small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say thousands of protesters took to the streets to condemn his policies surrounding Climate ChangeImmigration International relations and of course the issues surrounding women and. Was. An aside the policing issue how much is all of this costing what in terms of costing it seems like trump has out trump himself as this is the most. State visit in british history we asked our guest to assess the chances of a trade deal with. Of course shes the i going Prime Minister and shes always she not on his wavelength i always sleep he seems more in shouldnt know if it will probably be coming in id also with mr ferrars show direction i think britain is grooving in the same direction of the United States and so i was sort of policy that all makes trade and if we are as i said if we can get those fabulous trade deals with the United States great for britain great for breaks it well you know perhaps it is really undermined a lot of the International Power of the u. K. Despite what their own leaders will say theyre so busy every single day trying to figure out how to leave the European Union what does going to look like that i cant imagine they wont be exhausted when they get to the negotiation table about specific. Trade deals and certainly there is some pushback about some things that donald trump wants certain types of education for instance and how theyre being prepared being brought over he wants to consumers to decide whether they will purchase or not and hes made that quite clear but when it comes to the negotiation table there are so many things yet to be understood about whether its going to mean about leaving the e. U. That the u. S. Might just get a little bit more than its bargained for because of that weakness. Well it wasnt just the Prime Minister waiting to meet trump at downing street on tuesday someone else was also there to give him the perfect welcome. Im. Going to leave were going to. Leave. The. Human rights lawyers are planning to sue the European Union in connection with Migrant Deaths they argue that thousands of people needlessly lost their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea they say migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e. U. For example by scaling back sea rescues in 2014 and hampering the work of n. G. O. S they also slim the decision to send 40000 migrants back to dangerous camps in libya and to help libyan coast guards catch migrant boats the lawyers allege that certain statements by e. U. Leaders make it clear they were aware of the risks we spoke with 2 of the lawyers one bronco and omar shots were talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of. Crimes committed since the beginning of the century 14000 people. And we showed that there was a clear consciousness and willingness to let part of them all these people out today intercepted by day in. A treated close to god and now being detained in ill be to be in detention camps and he told her how is this where they are exposed to these crimes its not that its going to investigating the in the forest in congo its very easy task to go to the perrysburg living room and go into the archives and the to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes the influx of refugees to the e. U. From 2015 to 2017 involved more than one and a half 1000000 people or 12000 are reported to have died making their way over or are missing southern European Countries in particular italy greece and spain were the main entry points in the e. U. Spokesperson refused to comment on what they branded existant legal action saying only that it was a priority of the block to protect human lives a lawyer as though say the e. U. Has failed in that. We really hope for. A huge tragedy in this sense something that the International Criminal court doesnt known for a simple reason theres been very sever a level of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish those who executive and who created the objectives that triggered this execution and you cannot you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior the commissioner if you see the most and then another lever the director front takes and then another that for the militia leaders of both but what we show is that they are all connected in a common plan which was to systematically and widespread to the. Civil population and therefore to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors we agents in the. History of these policy that designed it and had to stablish it. On Political Goals to stimulation to your. Coming up as. Many serious hits the top of the ratings are to speak to one of the key figures involved in the cleanup of the Nuclear Disaster the real Major General tacan up after the break. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. For something i want to. Get to the right person this is what the 3 of the more people. Interested in the waters are. Welcome back the latest h. B. O. Miniseries true noble is proving a huge hit and it has also generated intense interest in the 1986 Nuclear Disaster one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy was the soviet Major General nick light a column of he was in charge of the socalled liquidators division tasked with removing Radioactive Material from the chernobyl site to the call of says the disaster will stay with him forever. To it is there with a leak i spent 2 years of my life in hospital but i was still in the army i returned to service says deputy chief of staff of the russian Civil Defense but 2 years later my symptoms caught up with me again my doctor said you will be suffering the rest of your life sure noble will never let go of you that your noble disaster shocked the soviet union more than 30 years ago it is considered to be the Largest Nuclear accident in history as almost 600000 people were affected by the blast at the Nuclear Plant its thought up to 4000 will die early as a result radiation levels in the epstein are massively higher than a lethal dose. Of again and recalls what happened. I spent 3 months at chernobyl the hardest part as far as i remember was when we came in by helicopter we hovered above the reactor and it was simply frightening to view the results of the catastrophe i could not even imagine Something Like that what kind of a Nuclear Catastrophe could destroy that giant construction grade of onward concrete about 300000 cubic meters of soil where excavated collected and brought to a special Disposal Area immediately after that the radiation level in the area decreased a 1000 times that allowed us to tell the soldiers to enter the station and start deactivating the facility yes i usually give the scientists and others credit for the very important job they did there but ordinary soldiers were the main heroes. Radiation sickness for example i could shave and accidentally cut myself and the bleeding would not stop a small scratch wouldnt heal for weeks its scary just to think about it my dear wife who was a ph d. Took very good care of me i was taking a ton of pills and i still am in my kitchen i have about 8 different kinds of medicine i take them 3 times a day. Really looks like i mean i really like you and your it was you know i almost fell in love with him then the Division Commander assembled his men and this scene was included because i stood in front of the soldiers and said there are men our people are tired of the constant reports about this huge disaster at your nobody we have to get rid of the consequences of this catastrophe all of you are volunteers and if anyone does not want to continue please leave the team if you have one minute to make a decision over a board no one will blame you for it because its your life and i am responsible for it through.
