behind me watching events unfold. bus loads of people were brought in to create the impression that it was ordinary iraqis that tore down the statue. it was to create the narrative that the people who supported the us led invasion as a us struggled with heavy losses. private military contractors were brought in, but they too were involved in war crime for their atrocities against ordinary iraqi civilian. here in this whole square, one of the worst massacres took place at the hands of the notorious blackwater private military company. as they escorted to a u. s. military convoy. the mercenaries open fire, killing 17 and wounding 20 to word blackwater for me as a journalist is associated with something terrifying. i saw people in complete disarray, for example. there was always arrested. any resident could be shot dead on the street. this incident took place in the al cartler area. there was a turmoil, some pass spy were killed by blackwater, p. m. c. we went to this place only after the blackwater left by then black war was something terrible for us. this incident was not particularly disgust at the meetings by the government then for blackwater. personnel would charge in jail, but i would like to pardon by then, you are resident donald from black or to maintain his name, but not vacaville under the name of how to me. it was a letter they involve in the fighting a fall. i fought ahead of the conflict in ukraine now as constant. it has a vested interest in liquid natural gas, which many phase the recalls what has been described as nato, for the war. confederates was bought $1000000000.00 by investment company apollo group in 2016 and september 2020 apollo group entered a 5 and a half 1000000000 real estate investment partnership with the abbey national oil company, one of the world's largest oil companies, and a major exporter of liquefied natural gas in december 2021 at note, was invited to enter a joint venture to create an all in gusto, new in the ukrainian pulse of a desa for transportation to western countries. the announcement came a month after chief executive of the ukrainian state energy company nafta. guess you re veteran co towed in abu dhabi energy conference that he hopes to russian nurturing to pipeline into europe, which bypasses ukraine would not be approved. he said that ukraine stood to lose $2000000000.00 per year, about 1.5 percent of its g d p. if the russian pipe was operational, claiming that no string to is actually putting the whole continent and global security at risk. one expert says, these organizations operate in a gray area, often outside the law, little shift to black, what a case has not been solved. i think the americans are investigating the case, but insignificant information about the investigation. procedure and compensation issues comes from different sources. i heard that some citizens receive compensation while others did. not all this is caused by the weakness of the government in protecting its citizens. we now know that the war was based on a lie. there were no w m days on saddam had nothing to do with 911 but the legacy of the invasion, a smith all by and we were talking with the u. s. military specialist to holland elman. he was a principal author of washington, so called shock and awe tactics using overwhelming force during the invasion of iraq. he spoke with ashton return, see a host of going on to ground. i'm at the 20th anniversary of the start of the war. today mark's 20 years since the u. s. a in britain launched an unprovoked invasion of iraq, which would lead to tens of millions killed, wounded or displaced in was throughout the region and beyond. and since this seismic a change in the world, you design shock and oh, how do you reflect on it today? the shock and awe that we design and i was part of a group of people who had actually thought and desert storm as well as donald rumsfeld, secretary of defense, who was a wrong number of the group. the shock and all that we design was not the shock and awe. that general tommy franks administered what frank did was a desert storm sort of massive attack on steroids in the real shock. and i had been used we would have try to depose saddam hussein without firing a shot. the same time geopolitical strategy of the kind that you write about you write books about has nothing to do with it in a way and let until someone settles down and realizes that, that, well, suddenly, the united states and nato and particularly benefiting out of this as lenin said, there are contradictions, comrade, and there are contradictions, everywhere, and you point out some of the issues. look, the europeans are dependent upon russian energy period. and that applies very much in germany, where there is a soft spot for russia. for those reasons, if you go so further, the bulk of members of the united nations, and if you do it by population or not on the side of the us in the west and ukraine, ah, we've got several other reports coming up about the us invasion and ultimate occupation to mark this a well grim anniversary. do. stay tuned for those and more about the military campaign. it'll be, you know, throughout the day here when i say poland would enter the ukraine conflict and fight against russia if key of military ultimately fails. according to poland basset with a fellow nato may have a member state france. has he spoken? a recent interview on french tv swell is the ukraine will defend its independence, or else we will be obligated to enter into these conflict because our principal values that of the foundation of all civilization of our culture will fundamentally be in danger. so we have no choice, oh, the bass or the paris just went on one of francis top news networks and basically told the french people that poland is willing to drag the rest of the west into a full blown frontal war with russia. why? because ukraine's independence is threatened, he says, warsaw is now trying to back pedal in connection with the comments on the interview given by ambassador roches shasky to the french station. now see i on much the 18th this year, we would like to know that it is interpreted by some media in isolation from the context in which it was given. careful listening to the entire conversation allows us to understand that there was no statement about poland, direct participation in the conflict. but only a warning about the consequences of ukraine defeats. the possibility of russia attacking are involved in the central european countries in the war. like the baltic states and poland, but the ambassador sure didn't seem worried about keith's independence when the u. s. state department was setting up shop in ukraine after leading regime changed against his president victoria new coverage back in 2013 for refusing to assign a cooperation deal with europe in favor of a more independent position visa v. russia and the west. and where was the same polish ambassador to uphold those values of independence when the u. s. poured cache into poland, the u. s. congress approved $288000000.00 worth of foreign military financing just last year for warsaw with washington playing sugar, daddy is poland, really in a position to claim independence as a core value, let alone one worth dragging. the whole western world into war with russia to defend. now french, your deputy terri, mariani has just pointed out that warsaw is now going for in washington in providing fighter jets to ukraine, which washington still at least for now refuses to do the kind of weapons mariani says that can hit deep into russian territory. now clearly a huge risk of major escalation here. yet the polish president says that war size make 20 nines will arrive in ukraine within days. and the rest of the wes just shrugs, i guess, by the way, the people of france. so, you know, the audience that the polish ambassador to paris was addressing on french t v. i certainly not agreed to rush in behind holland for a war with russia just because both warsaw and teeth have this totally delusional view of themselves as independent and not washington's paid shields, doing its dirty work against russia. now, germany and france, the economic and military powers of europe have at least tried at times throughout this whole crisis to temper the gung ho washington rhetoric around the great conflict. but poland has been at the forefront of pushing for escalation at every turn. first was supplying tanks and now with fighter jets and this ambassador. and now just casually calling for a head on war between russia, neo a video has a serviced online claiming to show a ukrainian soldier boning a copy of the quote on the incident evoked scathing condemnation from, for example, rams on could 0 for the head of russia's republic of chechnya, he's off with the equivalent of $130000.00 for anyone who detains those involved. a yelman's, a saba news agency, has also denounced the incident southern use as you strongly condemns this sacrilegious desecration of the holy koran by ukrainian soldiers and calls for their emitted arrest. it's clear that these you grin and soldiers are being trained to insult islam and muslims worldwide. out of respect to archie is not going to broadcast the entire video. it appears to show a ukrainian soldier ripping out pages from the muslim holy book and burning. then the video was originally posted on the social network, tick tock, but was removed. following a barrage of condemnation from uses. a senior orthodox christian clergyman in jerusalem has also denounced the incident saying it was an offense to both christians and muslims. yeah, anyhow, clear gotten this infringement and a copy of the holy koran is aggressive, provocative and gross. it indicates an absence of any human moral values among those who committed this. when palestine in jerusalem confirm to you that such a hideous violin immoral acts against islam and the holy koran is an acceptable for us. all such provocations and encroachments on religious values, her and acceptable in no way can we accept any form of racism and hatred, or the rejection of religious pluralism in our world. this bureau, as must be respect, said, what does ukrainian soldiers did as an acceptable for us? this curious act was aimed not only against islam and muslims, but also against all exist in human and moral values in the world as well as holly relics, both muslim and christian. such a thing is an acceptable we in jerusalem suffer from such atrocities. whether it be against our holy relics or palistine has been subjected to the invasion in their homes, israeli and palestinian authorities of agree to a tentative peace deal just ahead of the muslim holy month of ramadan. according to the deal clench, ne gyptian city of shotwell shake a both sides have pledged to stop a unilateral measures, an israel must stop settler activity in palestinian areas. the government of israel and the palestinian national authority reaffirmed their joint readiness and commitment to immediately work to end due to lateral measures for a period of 3 to 6 months. this includes in israeli commitment to stop discussion top story for you here on the international latest pictures with president putin and welcoming the chinese president, teaching ping and moscow. that's at the hold informal one on one folks today. the heads of the 2 states are set to discuss, pressing bilateral, and global issues over the coming days. and for now, we can have a quick listen to some of the common training. and she's free turning in to the community. across the world interview, this man's a lot of interest and we see you even a little bit point to the father and i want to know there him when you can say susan in china, you have been able to build framework for developing and making this faith stronger and it has been quite effectively and this system is much more effective event in many countries. and this is quite obvious to you really shamika is missy toad. so sir, the market mechanism. so we had an ability go hand in hand. even were there any confident teacher political line?
