Consulate oh and i forgot to mention hes not big on compromise so theres no end game theres the internet to war at home people are willing to engage it theres also an Organization Funded by the u. S. Congress which has been distributing money to groups it claims are preserving democratic rights then of course as the incendiary legislation washington is passed the human rights and democracy act includes im going to stay for those arrested up protests and will monitor hong kong to ensure that in the eyes of the u. S. Of course an appropriate level of autonomy from Mainland China is. These 2 bills an obvious intervention of hong kong some turn north further than necessary and without grounds it will also harm the relationship in the interests between hong kong and the u. S. All of this on top of the protest as mass waving of the starspangled banner have sparked concern that the u. S. Might be lending more than just a supportive hand in. Many to aust the question if the protest is according to selfdetermination is appealing to a foreign power to shape the future the best way to go about it especially when that foreign power might want to contain a rising star theyre reaching. For and using methods that have created challenges for the United States and for the world and we collectively all of us need to confront these challenges from the p. R. C. Head on and on each of the many facets of the fallout of all this has a little impact on washington of course its the average hong kong who find his pocket that little bit lighter on his home that little less popular major. Is really the. Real. Because. Nobody is coming to. My 50 or more. It was his job by 50 per se as far as as fair rises and as prosperity fades it seems this fight for freedom is costing hong kong more dearly than many could have imagined. 633. 00 in the moscow time which is joining us to see the red ticker there youll see what the headline is ramifications from what happened friday the Iraqi Parliament has voted in the last hour to remove all foreign troops from the country it comes as hundreds of thousands lined the streets as well as the body of the assassinated iranian general money is returned home this resolution is a norm binding when it was passed sunday after iraqs caretaker Prime Minister. Called for an end to Foreign Military presence in a speech to peace not entirely sure this will get through but bear in mind it looks like it will and the u. S. Says 5000 military personnel in iraq mainly as advisors more feedback on this what its going to mean where its going to go if indeed its one thing to say youve got to go its one thing for it to happen youve got a lot of gas lines up throughout the evening to try and gauge where its going to go next this is. International. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being so. What is true what is. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or remain in the shallows. Reduced to 6 physics is nothing but the harmony you can create on vibrating strings but its chemistry chemistry is the melody the melodies you can play on strings what is the universe the universe is a symphony of strings. What do you so. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to express. Something want to its. Actually going to be prose thats what the 4. People are. Interested in the water. Again this is the weekly small its international my name is kevin owen live in moscow thank you for your time today and if youre just joining us were breaking our usual coverage to go full time with the big top stories seeing on the screen there Iraqs Parliament has voted to basically kick out if all goes to plan u. S. Troops there some 5000. 00 military personnel in iraq made these advises 12 u. S. Bases is going to go to the government again the course thats all in transition at the moment but its a big headline on monday a look at its process resolution calling on the government to expel all Foreign Forces and to formally terminate its request for assistance thats the official from the u. S. Led coalition this vote follows the United States assassination of irans most powerful general in the air raid on Baghdad International airport on friday we got more details tell you by that as well were finding out we think. Iraqi official described the strike as a violation of their countrys sovereignty igors done office across igor this came out for our viewers just joined this well by an hour ago we know that be a vote if up before the vote trying to work out whether or not it would go through because its such a complicated political picture there was a thought that no it wouldnt go through it was close to call take us through what happened then i will talk about some of the other ramifications but how close was it to not getting through this well ok youre absolutely right when you describe it as a close call because they barely reached the minimum amount of m. P. s to be present for the vote for the whole vote to happen in the 1st place in the socalled quorum and the reason for that is that certain powers of political powers in iraq they have been under tremendous pressure from the United States to boycott the vote to sabotage the whole thing because obviously the united this is this is a development the United States certainly doesnt like to wake up to this morning a so essentially the kurds for instance the officially had announced that they were boycotting the vote the were a no show that certain sunni groups also decided not to come to the parliament for the vote but the minimum amount and weve seen figures from 170. 00 around 170. 00 issue which is just about half of all seats in the in the parliament they decided to show and they voted to pass this resolution interestingly enough the iraqi Prime Minister who presented this resolution he gave the parliamentary to options of voting option one the Nuclear Option to expel all foreign troops to just chill the door to the United States and all other allies which is what got through it which is exactly what and that which means that the parliamentary as they decided to turn down a more moderate option which was to just reinvent the rules of how the foreign troops are present in iraq to kind of redraw to you know to get to the drawing board and to change. Conditions under which Foreign Forces operate in iraq they decided to turn that down and they opted for the Nuclear Option. The. Man i would think just looking at this was an Emergency Parliament session he said the american side notified the Iraqi Military and did know that before thats really in this session but its not how they know it well yet but notified about this plan theres only minutes before it was occurring further he went on to stress and stress again that his government did not need washington for a mission to do that to continue with the operation but again the forewarning was like were just minutes ago probably the or the ball the red buttons were already pushed or about to be pushed deny or not or not deny this didnt really mean anything at all at that stage you know again stressed this is a not the way it works the d man like in britain was so they go to the government against apartment that happens its a different thing that gets presented to the parliament then has to go back to the government this is a this is a nonbinding resolution thats been passed i just heard and revolt full cheek on the line getting his take and he said well its one thing to say this its another thing to get 5000 u. S. Troops close 12 bases to actually get them out of the country how do you do that would you begin to do that we can absolutely resolutely right that this is a nonbinding vote but i mean the approval the approval and the signing this into action by the government is seen largely as a formality so it is it is if if i were to make any bets i would bet on this happening in the near future but indeed how do you execute this how do you enforce these 5000 troops to leave the country do you get out of my studio youre sitting tight you know that you get a fight on your hands dont you but i mean thats the thing theres another bit of information thats really important you touched on earlier on i want to get your brains are a bit more there is this question why curse him so the money was actually there in iraq on friday morning now you seem to fade from a journalist that seems of cancer. But the light on there isnt really loaded as a whole speech poster the speech of the iraqi Prime Minister posted online and apparently according to that. Is an angry man as youve just said he spilled the beans on exactly why to see him silly money was in iraq in the 1st place apparently the United States to iraq to mediate between washington and tehran to be the mediator because greed and invited because seems really money essentially with a Diplomatic Mission to its soil to baghdad apparently there was an appointment between with seems fully money arrived in baghdad for an appointment with the Prime Minister so and thats when the United States decided to bomb him essentially if this is true it means that essentially seems really money being a top general but still essentially acted in the capacity of a diplomatic envoy and would mean the United States bombed a diplomatic envoy which is a very big you know no huge bill in the international according to the International Law so this could be again we do not know if i mean this coming from the iraqi Prime Minister i mean we have to take his word for it again we still have not heard anything from iran as far as i know they still have not explained why their top general and again its difficult these days to work out so many stories to try to work out whats the motivation behind this but wiling it all but of course donald trump is advocated for withdrawing troops from the region anyway getting the boys and girls home that is. He says is this just played right into his hands did he does this what he wanted why surely the top brass and he in the pentagon knew it would be huge ramifications from what happened on friday morning i wonder what the game plan was hard to say isnt it that is very difficult to say because youre on the one hand they think its a bit tongue in cheek of course when they were saying that world has been calling on the. Boy should you hes been saying lets bring our boys home this is a very this is a very Good Opportunity for him to bring some 5000 boys and girls of american boys and girls home from iraq but i really really lets be serious here i really doubt that this is about this is this is what he wanted because this is a void that iran will be happy to fill and they get their all for and all foreign powers to. Isis if theres some sort of power vacuum now if the u. S. Goes i still. Believe that even worse than that because this vote remember the kurds did not vote the some sunnis did not vote as well sunni coalitions so this bears a split because some people are very hardline about wanting the American Forces on the rocky soil and others are as hardline but they are against that and so essentially the United States could just move its troops to irbil to go to the kurdish controlled region and so what is it what is it going to be i mean some people are saying that this is the beginning of the civil war how does that either work out with the government there or in a civil war the political strife between and this is iraq a lot of people are very trigger happy there so really it could mean very very severe consequences for iraq itself but i mean as a pinball sort of domino effect it could kick off a domino effect many of what i show you actually from from the United States or any of the last years not yet not to this not to this not to this vote yet not have seen anything anything like oh no for now but i mean this is this is the news they will be waking up to this morning and certainly something is going to come out who are eager will it get the millstone there see what else comes through in the in the coming minutes or so were going to continue to roll with this. As were doing right lovely 845. 00 on the button well in iran lawmakers have also fiercely condemned the assassination of general sort of money of course they have in fact been chanting death to america. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah so general casey was still a moneys body has now been repatriated to iran where hell be buried on choose day theres been a huge outpouring of grief in that country with tens of thousands of mourners paying tribute to the slain commander crowds also earlier throng the streets of the iraqi capital it was saturday for a funeral procession going to huge turnout again today in parts of iran iran has responded with fury to fridays deadly usa raid vowing to avenge solemn ollies death donald trump in turn the last we heard threaten to retaliate without hesitation if to iran attacks american bases in the next day or 2 or whenever. They attacked us and we hit back if the attack again which i strongly advise them not to do we will hit them harder than they have ever been had before. Around responded to that warning saying the u. S. Doesnt have the courage for a full blown military confrontation the latest exchange of threats comes after several rocket attacks took place as well in iraq saturday evening close to both the American Embassy in baghdad and the air base north of the capital Iraqi Security forces saying no one was hurt there and again as it stands so far as far as we know no one has come forward to say they were behind it so one of the 50 journey already has a look at how 2020 is opened with a turbulent and indeed terrifying 1st week. Lets get thoughts of having to solve a professor of Political Science at the university of. Short notice so. Did you expect this or not this photo in iraq its a vote of confidence i suppose for a run big time isnt it. I think this is a very Significant Development lets remember that the americans since invading iraq illegally in 2003 they have spent trillions of dollars lost thousands of american lives and of course in the process they have killed hundreds of thousands of iraqis all to have influence in a very geostrategic part of the world now when the Iraqi Parliament asks them to leave and of course they will eventually lead i dont think they will have a choice its going to happen sooner or later this is going to be a very significant defeat for the americans i would say you lead the beginning of this with egypt decline of u. S. Power and influence in the region you know but in the 1st place we heard some of these troops are there and advisory capacity now but theyre there because i saw it was being squashed in the whole region or by the danger of eisel thats what was sold on the foot well part of what it was sold on the 1st place while they were there what about that danger is that goldman. I think i think the americans have been very good at branding themselves as the fighter of i saw in reality lets remember that the americans never did actual fighting on the ground with i saw it was the rainy and it was the iraqis and it was the kurds yes they did do some bombings but their troops werent actually fighting isis in the troops they have in iraq are supposedly there to train the iraqis so 5000 troops leaving iraq i dont think is going to be a huge vacuum crisil to fill its going to be a victory for iran and hopefully for iraq and a defeat for the United States but i think then branding this as you know creating a vacuum for ice or is i think just propaganda but politically whats this going to mean for iraq but news or good news is it going to go i mean its a mess at the moment youve got to take a the governments been in constant flux along the way things possibly going to settle down when u. S. Troops go if this happens. Yes its true did the right he government is in a very shaky position nevertheless we have to remember that now that iran is considering u. S. Bases in the region as military targets and making the americans leave actually does have the benefit of your rock not becoming a territory in the fight between iran and the United States so it actually it might actually lead to stability there because lets face it if there are troops remaining in iraq considering that the assassination of possum so they money took place in iraq then that would be the most logical target for a new raney an allegation have you seen this article talks or correspondence earlier on. Friday morning was a kind of a diplomatic. Capability trying to was invited over there to iraq when this drone attack happened if you heard anything about that. Yes source of this this is been out in the rain in media since about half an hour ago and it apparently awesome still a money was there to meet the iraqi Prime Minister on his invitation in apparently they were going to exchange some messages in regards to some of the political differences while im an american you know that he was there at the same time that whether it was the fischel visit if you like a diplomatic official visit from to run to iraq. Absolutely he was there on the invitation of the iraqi Prime Minister in this makes this whole assassination just that more strange and dramatic i mean killing a top official of another country on an official visit to a 3rd country is totally against International Law in its just something that you would expect from someone like donald trump what what was really what was america thinking if everything youre saying there is correct what was america thinking there of occasions would be. Well its very difficult to tell what the motivation of donald trump was i think still i think he doesnt really understand the replications of his decision and its not just the its the pentagon those are the preserve of a very intelligent and of thousands that have come up with these plans this is kind of a figure they feel like its not just his say is it true what American Media is reporting that he was given a whole set of options and he was the one who chose this and lets remember the timing i mean the u. S. President is going to be facing impeachment trials in the senate probably starting in the next week or 2 of this distraction from that impeachment is possibly a motive in lets remember donald trump makes a lot of selfish decisions that are beneficial for unsolved but not good for you the loser in a geisha was that he foiled something really bad that was about to happen thats what thats what its been sold as well exactly but they have proved they have provided no actual evidence of this socalled imminent threat and they have been changing their story in the past 3 days so 1st they said it was an imminent threat thats what secretary powell said and then later they said no he was planning a strike and then later date even today down in adam share the head of the House Intelligence Committee just had an interview with c. N. N. He was actually shown the intelligence the supposed intelligence that the trumpet ministration was bragging about and he was saying that there was actually nothing definite in in the intelligence provided to him that was showing that iran was such an attack so i think this is all just excuses iraqi Prime Minister earlier on of the some urgency sessions saying that yes we did know this before the year they were told what washing was going to do or washington was going to do with this drone strike but only minutes before he went on to stress that iraq said no youre not going to do it but it happened that they were you surprised by that. I mean this is been the polish. Many u. S. Governments they dont really respect the sovereignty of other countries i mean just calling them just a few minutes before your going to strike in another country is just ridiculous i mean the americans are so affirmative in they emphasize so much their own sovereignty and the issue of other countries not interfering in their Domestic Affairs yet they do this stuff in other countries such as in iraq afghanistan and pakistan repeatedly. So this is a norm that binding resolution going back to the headline here before everyone gets too worked up about it is actually going to come to fruition is it done and dusted its going to get through the government theres a lot of countries say like britain for instance the proposal comes through the goes to the government then it goes to be ratified it happens but its the other way around in iraq at the moment where its being put forward as a nonbinding resolution but it then has to be. Agreed again by the government thats the way around my understanding here. True but it is but its also true that the Iraqi Government since today has been clear that it also if the Parliament Passes the rest of this resolution which it has that it is going to ask the americans to leave and lets be clear about this the americans in the past few days have repeatedly said that we are only in iraq on the invitation of the Iraqi Government this is what u. S. Officials are saying well now that the Iraqi Government is asking you to leave then you should also respect that in the otherwise you will be an occupying illegal force in that country. Professor of Political Science at the university of to run think of a couple of short notice and have a good evening sir thank you. And thank you for watching as well its not coming up too for exactly may have looked all the time probably its exactly foreman is the 7 oclock in the even take a quick break this is Art International live from russia my names kevin though we got a big breaking development thats come in from iraq about the vote to kick American Forces the close places where there is another thing its a nonbinding resolution what is r t dot com more details on the social media and more from a then at the top of the hour in just a couple of minutes as we get more reaction to this big story. Heres a thought experiment and a bit of a prediction for 2020 going back to saudi aramco around as it went public just recently at a market valuation an excess of 1. 00 trillion dollars i think at one point was toward 2 trillion dollars i think they were going to see them make a hostile buy of a Company Maybe facebook for example and it could be the 1st trillion dollar hostile raid in history because theyve got the Balance Sheet now if youve got a 2 trillion dollars Balance Sheet that means youve got you know the ability to borrow another trillion so youve got a 3 trillion dollar war chest if you go after an apple or even a Berkshire Hathaway 5 or 600000000000. 00 so i went inside iraq oh by Berkshire Hathaway just as a hostile trade and then they own a huge portion of the whole Global Market the American Market why not theyve got the Balance Sheet now they want to diversify away from oil and gas and i think were going to see a move like that the next 6 to 9 months. You know world of big partners has a lot of things you could see yours its time to wade to dig deeper to hit the stories that made the stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks.
