language in the report about my recollection of the events, it is even referenced that i don t remember when my son died. how in the hell dare he raise that? frankly when i was asked the question, it wasn t any of their damn business. let me tell you something. since the day he died, every single day. every memorial day, we hold a service remembering him, attended by friends and family and the people who loved him. i don t need anyone, i don t need anyone to remind me when he passed away. the simple truth is, i sat for five hours, passed away. the simple truth is, i sat forfive hours, two days of events, going back years. at the same time i was handling an international crisis. their task was to make a decision about whether the charges in this case. that is their decision to make. that is hisjob. they decided not their decision to make. that is his job. they decided not to move forward. for any extraneous commentary, they don t know what they are talking about. it has no pla
across the region. they re venting their anger over soaring fuel and fertilizer costs, low prices for their produce, and increasingly restrictive eu regulations. demonstrations by farmers are planned in poland, hungary and italy today. italy s government has promised tax breaks to ease hardship for farmers after hundreds began gathering with their tractors this week, on motorways outside rome and turin. this was the scene on thursday. and in cyprus, farmers blocked the entrance to the european union s offices in nicosia, on thursday. there were also demonstrations in bulgaria. and more tractor protests across spain for the third day in a row, with farmers disrupting traffic in barcelona, and in smaller cities all over the country. they say eu rules to protect the environment make them less competitive. they have also had to compete with imports from ukraine after brussels waived duties and quotas after the russian invasion. this and renewed eu talks on a south america trade d
we were analysing the evidence. it was just not matching the official story. protests erupted across mexico. a team of independent experts began their own investigation and the government case starts to unravel. the mexican government claimed the students were on four buses when they were attacked. but cctv revealed students on a fifth bus. we saw that the mexican government was officially stating that the guerreros unidos were simply a local gang, and we knew that not to be the truth at all. my name is mark guiffre, and for 30 years, i was a special agent with the us drug enforcement administration. prior to the disappearance of the students, we had received intelligence that there was going to be activity relating to the movement of illicit heroin proceeds coming out of this particular location. we got authorisation to conduct a search of that location. and there we seized many kilograms of heroin, money counters, a quarter of a million dollars or so in cash and illicit he
presidentjose ramos horta, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. it is a great pleasure to have you in the studio. i think it s fair to say you ve given most of your life to the struggle for freedom in timor leste, east timor, as we used to know it, and you have served as its president, not just once, but twice. you decided to come back in 2022 to seek the presidency again. was that a tough decision, to come back? yes. on a personal basis, yes. it was not in my plan, but then mr xanana gusmao, now prime minister, whom i deeply respect, he asked me to run again. ..to put timor leste back on the map of the world, because it was neglected, forgotten for a few years, because we ve been living in peace and tranquillity, so we did not constitute news. but at the same time, with so many conflicts in the world, we were running the risk of being forgotten. so. and then our asean accession. so i was asked to serve, to be the visible face of the campaign for our asean accession.
ambassador vassily nebenzia, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, stephen. ambassador, i want to begin with some words said recently by the uk foreign minister, david cameron. he said this: the lights are flashing red right across the global dashboard. it is hard to think of a time when there s been so much danger, insecurity, instability in the world. would you agree with him on that? i would. and where do you see the instability at its most dangerous? the most pressing thing today is, of course, the middle east. you cannot deny it. it s obvious. it is a conflict that is fraught with the regional conflagration, potential global conflagration. you see what s happening what has been happening in recent days. you have seen what s been happening in the red sea with the us aggression on yemen, with the recent us plus uk aggression on iraq and syria, the situation on the northern border of israel with lebanon. so, the middle east may explode, unfortunately. i m looking at some of
