i think russia and the u. s. could find an accommodation we did when i served george w bush's his under secretary of state for arms control. we signed the treaty of moscow in 2002, which reduced the operationally deployed strategic nuclear forces. both countries think that's possible again, but i think you cannot do that in the absence of having china participate. but do you think germany is your boy got no extreme to i do i make a mistake? sure. i think work. i think it's a mistake to become strategically dependent on any on any particular source of energy. and this is something that ronald reagan warren.

i'm still here with the full, the u. s. ambassador of u. n. and the 27th us national security advisor, john bolton, quite a lot of us subsidy to the you. and i know that under trump, you got out of unesco biting. took you back in. did you advise of national security adviser that some of that us subsidy to the u. n. g reduced i belong shall. based on my tenure in new york is un baster and other positions i've held that the u. s. money is, is wasted in many respects misspent in many respects. and my overall reform proposal for the un is to abolish what are called assess contributions, which are essentially mandatory. the u. s. pays around 2022 percent of the budgets and most agencies i make all contributions from national members of the you and i make all. busy contributions, cibola, but here, i mean, there must be people all over the world, arguably that would agree with all this. why did you get nowhere with all of this, the notion to make contributions, voluntary, unfortunately didn't have agreement all around the world. but i, it did, it wou

i think the u. s. has to take a much more self reflective perspective and to change its position, but definitely via sort of more muslim progression is always on the table when it comes to american foreign policy. so we have to be very aware of that. and i think the only way that it can be, stop is by pressuring from outside and from within a thanks to people like bernie sanders and others who are more progressive might be able to persuade president binding to take the road. but what, i'm sure, you know, i'm not sure how often they, they meet in spanish. i mean, you're an expert on lithium. what do you say to the bolivian president incumbent luis us about lithium? i mean, you heard a lot musk, a pioneer of electric cars powered on lithium. we all carry lithium in our mobile phones. in almost said we will, qu, whoever we want, no evidence that he was behind the jenny in the us bag. who would, i mean, how, how do you advise louise us to run bolivia in the face of one of the riches people are not saying w

it could be china, russia, the u. k, the u. s. but they have to respect the laws and the people in bolivia that's, that's the 1st thing. and they have to have some idea of war, believe what's the history the, what's the move or the indigenous community? what are they were there like, you can just come in and take the lithium. so i think which is very much open to working with anybody as long as they respect the fact that it's a national natural resources it's, it's not going to be privatized. but companies can come in and work to help extract the lithium and commercialize it until it the best way that will help bolivia, minimize our team, but also improve its position geopolitically. and it's such a big resource delivery and resource and believe, you know, just so you need a beautiful lake and you know, which should be protected, of course, for environmental tourism reasons, but it's extremely large. and so it's kind of a win win situation for the world. you know, the whole world is shared to green energy, and bolivia is key that

a u. s. wealth advisory firm is on that. if you look at the map of the world, the tool, russia, there's nothing, nothing wrong going on in the united states to all the other countries. well, you know, here's the problem. all the leaks came from officer services companies outside the united states, and that's not the place where u. s. oligarchy are going to go for their, you know, wealth defense services. we, we need a couple of good leaks from some of these trust companies. and if anyone's listening and they want to contact me, i can help you, you know, disclose your information confidentially. because that will actually help shift the u. s. dynamic. the fact that the u. s. oligarchy are not name doesn't mean they're not using the same secrecy jurisdiction, shell companies opaque trust. they're using all the same tools. they just haven't been named in the story yet. but you've been investigating equality for years. and, you know, say the big accounting firms for some of the biggest banks, how is it that they are so able to s

i think russia and the u. s. could find in a combination we did when i served george w bush's his under secretary of state for arms control. we signed the treaty of moscow in 2002, which reduced the operational and deployed strategic nuclear forces. both countries think that's possible again, but i think you cannot do that in the absence of having china participate. but do you think germany's your boy got no stream to i do i make a mistake? sure. i think work. i think it's a mistake to become strategically dependent on any, on any particular source of energy. and this is something that ronald reagan warren to europe about in the $198.00 jo bolden. thank you. and that's for the show will be back on monday when we asked for a technical co lead at google about technological clos war until then, keep in touch by social media and let us know what you thought of. john bolton's on says to our question. with for driven by drimmers shaped by 10 percent of those with who dares sinks, we dared to ask in join me every thursd

will there be a u. s. base in haiti? some have said that the united states once military base in the have to attacks perhaps in the future chinese, the interests in latin america. it already has the 4th largest u. s embassy in the world, in the border prints. i don't think we've talked about us base today, is sure that after the assassination of the president, the prime minister into the project, and the government asked for some help to secure some critical states. critical plants like airports, balls in asked to goes in and but for them now we're talking about us base like as far as maybe very it talk to one of us, the chinese everyone else in latin america is, are you allowed as a government to get chinese investment as above and we like to get any investment from anybody. but for now is you know, countries i've, i've new friends like you, we used to say in diplomacy. we have interest. so i believe the haitian government, the haitian leaders, will sit down and decide whenever a deal or an offer is good for the country

under every treaty treaties that the u. s. has signed the geneva conventions, the convention against torture. every single convention says and it's in the u. s. r. code it torture is illegal, under all circumstances. we've called this torture. obama said we tortured a few folks, which i thought was a horrible way to put it. these are people not folks. and now, which should all come out and if it helps people not get the death penalty. so be it because we've already given harm to these people so badly that they suffer. they suffer now from a physical and mental pain every day of their lives. from this horrific torture. do you think one element of trying to keep it secret and keep guantanamo open? maybe is it is all that out there like you want it to be more than 50 black sites. reputedly lithuania, poland. poland was mentioned in the supreme court, remain the america if they're more than 50 it as huge foreign policy implications further united states of those countries, governments can be attacked by their own people for cooper

now the u. s. 3 gates has been very, very important. we have a saluted the return of the u. s. at unfortunately, it has been offset by decreases by decrease funding from a number of a traditional donor, but also from lack of strong engagement. here in the reason, i mean, can you see why barra johnson here in britain which slash the grant by 50 percent, or 40 to enough 1000000 balance to 20800000 pounds? i mean, obviously with issued a weapon sales this coming to $400000000.00 to israel. what would you say to borrow johnson? well, the decision to slash and to decrease the over the budget from 0172015 percent of the g. d. p has barrick, the consequences. it has a human consequences, but it has also an impact on keeping and maintaining the stability here in the region. i mean, just to remind our viewers say in gaza, i mean they're just the other day, there's a 13 year old killed in the occupied territories. what does it ro actually do? because obviously the red cross tries and does what it tries to aid agencies indigenous ones from his bola, from mammoth from the p. a. they try an

and that the level of engagement of the u. s. a son was not something that he was and off, and when he began the president, he showed that amid unfair because that meant, as we now know, he just didn't support the surge. that obama was supporting. he said that obama that we're using a young president does me when they did that surgeon 2010. i mean the read out from the meeting of this to have canister meeting in the past 24 hours. he says from the biden statement, the leaders discuss critical need to maintain laser focus, enduring counter terrorism efforts, including against threats or isis, isis k wouldn't. who is who funds isis k? is it related to the isis, the britain in the united states de facto supported against us, out of syria? or is it not at all connected with that isis? and if not, why is it called isis? and then k, we don't really know, be honest with you, even when i was strong in body nissan, is that in my own home province? i'm. it wasn't mysterious for the prior to that a lot, number of the ice kill the pakistani

and we knew about the u. s. coups. just one example. i mean, we know from wiki leaks that the obama bite and administration intervened on the minimum wage for people in 80. it was supposed to be $0.61, and now they got it down to $0.31. is that the kind of level of us interference in haiti since the u. s. schools that have occurred to, i think in the past 20 years or so. again, sarah stevens on. yeah, it's a long debate. you know, obviously today is the time that we we are morning morning for the, for the president. but he's alone debate about the us prisons and haiti. of course haitians would like haiti to be to be wooed differently. they would like a different issue from our, from our problems. we have a lot of problems. but the reason why the lead is i just, i just talk about them. the leaders that we have today to bring themselves together and we have the solutions to asian bothers. will there be a u. s. base and have some i've said that the united states once military base in the haiti to attacks perhaps in the future, chinese inte

so you're right that the u. s. is still the largest per capita polluter, but the emissions are coming down significantly. china is, has continued to go in the wrong direction. the reason for that is very simple. cole and why has the u. k been able to reduce its emission so substantially, it's because we've almost entirely got rid of coal from the electricity system, replaced it with clean energy instead. and if you look what's happened in the u. s . despite the last administration under donald trump's rhetoric, the reality is coal continued to come off the system. china still needs to and reduce and then eventually eliminate cold production. but it's got such a long way to go for that to happen. how geopolitical, in cold war, 2.0 as it's being talked about, is the whole combating climate change debate. i mean, after all, the, the by the administration is continuing with this pipeline fossil fuel pipeline of a native american lands. i know your company host to john kerry, the u. s. a climate on why he's been involve

the u. s. government does not claim anymore that he shot these ages. they don't know who killed the aged and his co defendants were acquitted. based on self defense, what the government ended up doing once it was discovered that they had sculpt, tore ballistics evidence that they did not turn over. he was originally convicted of shooting to agent. then it was determined or revealed that they had exculpatory ballistics evidence. once that came out, you could no longer say that leonard peltier shot, anybody because they knew that he had. and so they changed their theory to one of the aiding and abetting. so then the question becomes, who did the aided a bet because his co defendants were acquitted based on self defense. so when the assistant us attorney who tried the case was asked by steve crawford 60 minutes, who did the bet? he said, i don't know, maybe himself. well, that legally a possible. there was no crime. it's co defendants were quoted based on self defense. and you cannot aid and abet yourself. and i know, well, i suspect he was thought he was

s. u k, back terrorists in syria. how much provocation do you think shakiness rama can handle here is this goes on. many say that to as well, that has enough to take over a lebanon tomorrow, within 24 hours as well. it could take over the country, but chooses not to i don't think historically, nobody succeeded in to alone. their culture. ok. if you take the history of lebanon every time they support just by any international power provoked the support of other machine power to other communities. and just story ended or sold by 0. yeah. and the zeros you. ok. i so i think that, yeah, 1st war lebanon would not be to say, if his law is controlled, you're gonna, you're gonna think about it, liberty. you can't think about a free culture. you can see same as well as all that and shake this rattle has been on this channel saying he would recommend complete freedom even even for atheists, as, as you know. but what about the sanctions? what am i going to have a copy of it on you? so if the copy of it on your receipt is a copy

and as u. k u s. u armed israel bombed gaza. so recently the side of the destruction of a p and al jazeera and joined with sydney by independent journal north antony lowenstein, who has been an east jerusalem for the best part of the last decade. and city. thanks so much for coming back on. so yeah, we the now is all this geneva meeting, we get orders by bennett, the new israeli prime minister garza in response to the balloons from hamas. it seems you've been forgotten by the time the global agenda moved to geneva. but your take on the been a decision it sadly on surprising or one of the remarkable things that so much of the western media coverage, actually those who are still writing and netanyahu. and i'm still one of those people. is it been? it's record which i'm guessing you looked at your views will be aware of, is remarkably similar to netanyahu. in fact, in some cases, even though, right, when in fact, many cases, the, he wanted to go even harder against this is bennet. so, you know, it's a classic example here of so muc

but the u . s. in iran never took directly from there was a coordination team, a little european foreign affair service, and chinese, russian, french, german, and you k delegation. all over all of the 6 rounds were worked out. the vision, giving us hope that an agreement is possible in the future. then we had an inevitable hold you to elections in iran and time needed to put together a new government. hours and counterparts were impatient. they wanted to get this done as soon as possible, pushing around to hurry up. reminded them that ron was waiting for a year for the us to revisit this dance. iran has lost his patience equipped the deal. now the election came. so it was natural. i did not want to make a fuss about it. would iranian seem as new, but they quickly familiarize themselves with their duties and proved to be professionals them. they came up with some proposals or western counterparts flatly rejected them 1st. but later they understood the proposal who were studying and this is what we're

this is a complete change in us policy that at last, the u. s. has seen the light and realize they should get out of these wars if they're defeated in well, i think more of the u. s. so was there was no way forward for, for agile, they will go down in a stalemate. the united states is known this since 2015 for the soviet union when be around 10 realized very quickly and determined to move out 3 years in the united states. as a much much longer spent. terinio, seeing the ged, so tens of thousands of grand citizens loss on their own people, not by many, it has to be said and they had no alternative left. so politically and ideologically, it's been a huge setback and they know perfectly well will it stop them containing these crime shows? no, it wont. they're an imperial odd this to behave in their own interests as a b, as i want to do. and setbacks can be. i shrugged off, especially in a large unipolar world, there is no big alternative state life of soviet union in a different way used to be. so there's no global restraint and all the a european u

today, the legendary native american activists woke up in the u. s. after being extradited from canada on now withdrawn testimony linking him to the murder of 2 f. b i. agents is arguably discredited. trial is now viewed in the context of the api. i is white, a co intel pro initiative the name to stifle dissent and protests within the united states. now $77.00 and in ill health peltier is looking to you as president and mass incarceration architect joe biden for clemency than had penalty his lawyer. kevin chop joins me now from nashville, tennessee, as you'd say, judge a judge sharp, thank you so much for going on before i get into this. and i would advise people to look up his case on the internet. if people don't know, leonard peltier is, how is the health of leonard peltier? well, you know, leonard aisd is 77 years old. he has multiple health issues. on top of that, you've got raging co it throughout the bureau, prison system. it's in his really touching, go with leonard's health, and he's got some serious issues that, that really cannot be dealt w

after the break, after another week of u. s. u. k armed violence in palestine, we speak to the palestinian, the message of the u. k. about a new ultimatum for israel. all the small can we help about 2 of going undergrad long when i was showing wrong when i just don't hold any world. yes. to see how it becomes the advocate, an engagement, it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation. let it be in arms. race is on offensive, very dramatic development and get into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very katy killed time to sit down and talk with welcome back. at the same u. k. labor party conference were anti jeremy corbin, leader to care stammered declared his party to be the party of nato. emotion was passed calling for israel to meet it because of the ongoing knock by palestine. the motion that passed without much publicity called for an ethical trade policy and an n d u k arm sal

you know, and unfortunately in the u. s. it could go different directions, it could go, you know, right wing fascism or it could go progressive. bernie sanders populace. right? you know, our, our system and our society is very divided in volatile right now. and there's so much misinformation about what are the real harms and causes of those harms that people are confused. so you know, people like me, our job is to try to explain, you know, how this is happening and who is responsible? and people like the people who work in the wealth defense industry and the politicians who enable them are responsible shot guns, obviously going on the ground once that dates are as much as, as you do at the institute, maybe people can send it to both of us if it's in the public interest, chuck collins, thank you. thanks for having me. after the break. ahead of the cop 26 conferencing, glasgow enjoying the lockheed martin swanson world space we. we ask one of the world greatest science communicators, professor jim kelley lee of billionaires bl

but it was quite smart by the u. s. and the u. k. 2 to have it arranged. the other one, so they don't extroverted him. in the 1st instance, they basically confirmed a whole narrative about yes, nice act acquisitions of everything and set the precedent to criminalize message the journalist for that matter. but they will only bring those questions that they want to have to consider. but just to me as under state of health and their prison conditions and now mind you, their prison conditions is absolutely in their control. they can make diplomatic guarantees at any stage of to any extent to neutralize those concerns. they can offer medical services, they can offer no guarantees with regard to the conditions of attention, which makes it very difficult for the high court. now to refuse expedition. yes, james, the excuse. he seemed to be saying we have a psychiatric asylum. we can throw julian sans into if he has mental problems once a extradited and given what you just said, is it sensible for wiki leaks, lawyer edwards. gerald, you see to me in a way, exceptin

back then i met him once and the u. s. embassy in the year. bob, who is there pressured him to accept new liberal policies. he refused, but at the same time he and even jerry law rawlings, his thought was quite a good african lee. they died about a year ago in ghana. they were all they were getting aid. i mean, the st car are getting aid from paris as opposed to the washington d. c. i m f o. well bank. right? i mean it's, it's true and it's, it's, i'm, and i appreciate you complicating the story because it is, it is very complex. so many different points in history, france actually tried to work with some current, even tolerated quite a bit of revolutionary rhetoric targeting france. but yes, a car expected to be treated as an equal, as a peer head of state, you know, a fully sovereign country. so, you know, he refused to accept his country, being a vassal in this neo colonial relationship. and so some car, i mean, he knew that he couldn't break with, with france completely. i mean is seen are the revolutionary state, was still depending on fo

s. force. and the u. s. the committed a pretty impressive amount of resources to beating up the columbia armed forces and police in columbia, in the war against arm rebels. and now that war machine, the united states, that the united states helped build up as being on leave against on arm civilian demonstrators in all colombia, major cities. and most of its towns goes back decades. britain, training. i mean, there's been apparently 2100000 in something called the police innovation. so stabilisation training in columbia and so on. but, but i mean, human rights watch america's director, seriously saying that the scale of the police violence has, there's not been seen in latin america. tell me what you're hearing. that to human rights watch can be saying that the levels of violence can be that, that severe. so the 6 i have come from human rights n g o in columbia, that has been compiling nice. it just extend this started on april 28th and what they have so far, and they tend to be conservative in their numbers

u. s. e, you nation armed. saudi arabian asked strikes on the poorest country in the middle east. yemen today, meanwhile is 48 hours ahead of the 74th anniversary of the united nations partition plan for palestine that arguably capitalized so much bloodshed and population displacement as the u. n continues to struggle to deal with the most important issues over time, from climate change to monopoly power. i'm joined now from geneva by professor how for de zayus. he was the 1st you an independent expert on the promotion of a democratic inequitable international order. and author of building a just well daughter, alfred, welcome to going underground. again. the book is a myriad of issues. i mean, some might say it should be embalmed in the new york and horses. i mean, let's just begin though, with a question that you know before before we live in a society where a book that dames to save every, every human being alive on, on the planet. before it's given to all the ambassadors of the u. n. is

because the u. s. wanted to build one american oil company to build a natural gas pipeline from took manner stung through afghanistan to pakistan. absolutely crucial. the alternative routes with russia in the wrong that wilson hall. it was only when bush came to power, george shuffling bush that his administration actually started to question the reliability of the taliban to deliver on a deal. now this steel, the head of the still was dick tracking who became bushes. vice president john, i'll stop you there. more from jerome pill jer after this break. the news join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk me the n

s. and the u. k. met in cornwall for its annual summit that some of accused of repelling and anti russia. and he, china, agenda, west and relations with one of the world's largest economies. china of argument, we shall know point, particularly in the wake of accusations over a lot of bleak and we get genocide. nevertheless, communist china is the only major economy that hit record economic growth in the 1st quarter of this year. amidst the current pandemic. joining me now for a special show from shanghai as venture capitalist and political scientist. eric lee, thanks so much eric for coming on. the g stands for a group, but i don't know whether you think it could stand for globalization. you said before that globalized door globalism, injected globalization is dead, has been dead for a while. was the g 7 basically another funeral? well, thank you for having the i one call the funeral. it it's, it's a small party, you know, listen, i grew up my high school. i went to high school, 300 kids just in my

what with the u. s. a. c o. 2 emissions per capita, double those of china. earlier, i was joined outside of the studio by ecological economist, him, jackson, author of post growth life off to capitalism. tim, welcome to going underground. before we get to what your book says about corona virus and happiness, i've got to ask you because g d p numbers come out every couple of weeks. what have journalist got upside down when? i think every single journalist in this country lead loan around the world according to your book, gets it completely wrong when covering the statistic. you with success with gdc number a quarter after quarter. is it going up? is it going down? what's it doing? but actually, and this is where my book actually starts, is that we've known since robert kennedy, at least in 1968, the g d p is just not a very good number. you know, it's kind of measures lots of things which are actually causing damage to, to us and to society, into the planet. and it leaves out a whole bunch of things that actually really matter to us like our relationships and

to compensate for that, the u. s. should never have been, and nato should never have been in afghanistan in the 1st place. this was a unilateral and illegal invasion and occupation that took place without the approval of the un security council. now, today in the united states and staging a withdrawal, a retreat from afghanistan, and they're doing it in a unilateral fashion. again, they didn't use the help that they could have called upon from russia, china, india, iran, and pakistan. those regional and, and asian powers to organize an orderly withdrawal and the creation of a stable government in kabul, that one that might have been a government of national unity or a power sharing arrangement or coalition government. instead, the u. s. deliberately last mass. now this map shows just how much after the territory is now under telephone control, including 2 thirds of provincial capitals and the biggest cities outside the capital such as kandahar where they have reportedly seized hundreds of weapons. and vehicles as well

after the break, after another week of u. s. u. k. armed violence and palestine, we speak to the palestinian ambassador to the u. k. about a new ultimatum for israel. all the small can we help? we bought 2 of going undergrad. ah. and with a child beginning on it and then each one is a better way to adjust my with issue machine that it with more i mean logical, but that amount with power to store and you with welcome back. at the same you, k labor party conference were anti jeremy corbin, leader to care starman, declared his party to be the party of nato. a motion was passed calling for israel to meet it because of the ongoing knock by palestine. emotion that passed without much publicity cauldron ethical trade policy and an end the u. k. arm sales to his rail progress after another week of violence in palestine and with the palestinian ambassador, britain who sub job lot best to. thanks so much for going to the studio. i mean we've had killings all week in ballast rankings of children by shonda israeli soldiers that had said last y

s. u. s. congress and vice president. he's turned out to be a more mixed picture. it said, what's important is that he has engaged with putting in with russia twice. there was the june 20, the summit in geneva, which was important for establishing what 2 things and arms control process and just cyber that you know, some sort of framework for managing cyber conflict. and of course, the virtual summit this week. so it's, it's important that he's actually talking, i think the big picture is, is that the idea was that they would stabilize the relations with russia and then focus on the conflict with china. you mentioned interestingly, just not, you talked about 57 years ago. the so called code war, it was not, it was not a so called it was the cold war and i meant to call because it was hot for many of the developing world in the class. so in that sense, absolutely. in that sense, it was pretty hot in all sorts of places that goes to vietnam war except, you know, but it was ultimately a cold war in that the major powers did not come into to get confrontation. i argue t
