there is no deadline. we remain committed to get them out if they want to come out . but the president pace is growing criticism from political opponents and even though is on his own site, the say he fail his leadership, fail, america, fail the lives have got to stop the accountability needs to be there. but most importantly, americans need to be able to be brought home. this cannot be our history. this cannot be where this ends. we will not allow it. whitening says he did the best job possible after the previous administration. never mentioning, come by name, signed to deal, to kill, trips out without political assurance that onto the new threat. the group behind last week, suicide attack at the international airport. there was this warning to isis k. we are not done with you yet. the air left organize been carried out in such a short space of time was undoubtedly a military, diplomatic, and humanity,

and success with americans left behind it for very little america has questions to ask about this involvement in afghanistan. questions that are obvious and difficult . you'll buys and has been politically damaged by what has happened over the last few weeks. he didn't start the war, but what happened at the end? well, hang over the remainder of his time and often. allen fisher, i'll just eat up at the white house. will taliban leaders say they want to attract international investment and form an increase of government? but while the group group has been celebrating, it's also expressed disappointment. and what's been left behind the tell about alleges that the departing foreign troops disabled planes and helicopters and destroy equipment couples at fort the long keys outside banks in couple the countries long running economic problems got worse. as the taliban advanced, people have been trying to withdraw the maximum limit of $200.00

ah, [000:00:00;00] i o.

i. o i still we are responsible for the deployment of thousands of young americans to battle in a distant land. some will kill and some will be killed inside of the alarm conflict. filled with difficult questions about the relationship between war and peace and our effort to replace one with the other we come and now we've got tv pictures

like all the temp said to the adams, you don't need to make them. don't get them tony. yes. oh um no, i pay the

ah me ah ah, there were 5 months in a world war one, both sides were entrenched. they were just mass slaughter and cost the landscape. men were standing up sleeping. they were in their own feces and their dead comrades were sitting there. no man, i couldn't even get them and bring them back. the burial was christmas eve and the german i can add a little christmas tree. it was like a stage that all of a sudden across the german front you saw the little christmas tree lighting up. and then the allies heard silent night being stunned by the german and started applauding. and then all of a sudden

a couple of guys on both side get out of the trenches and start walking toward each other and expect at any moment to pull flat with the machine to pick it up. and nothing happened. and within 2 hours walking about and laughing and talking and laughing from the german lines, hundreds get out of the trenches, $10000.00 to get out of the trenches. and they embrace each other, $100000.00 men. oh them. and that was great and that he was smoking and talking, shaking hands, exchanging names, addresses after all. right, one of the in the about a back and you're trying to general shelton the general be i must have seen it and

going to spacious one day again. others for about 3 of guns behind us to fire on officers fire their revolvers, that the jerry goes out out to the war again or we were christian. and ah, this was or to, and all this was a war to make the world safe for democracy. at least 21000 new millionaires were made in the u. s. billions and billions of dollars would be piled up. few nation makers, ship builders, meat packers, and let us not forget the bankers who finance the great boy who turn blood into gold. and i'm profits were a secret, as they were a man's. all the looking ahead.

ah. i stand before you tonight. in my red star chiffon evening, the the, i say softly made up my fell gently wave, the law the, the name of the west. my 6th review between the united kingdom and saudi arabia, in which ronald reagan wanted to sell the saudi billions and billions dollars worth of equipment. but these really lobbies stopped it and congress wouldn't approve it because they feared arming. saudi would threaten israel. so ronald reagan handed

the deal is effectively to his political soulmate. margaret trach. it un soon. nothing yet. yeah. you have very tough act. the me, i when we stumbled on the saudi alms deal, the gamma moms deal, we really started to stumble along a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years. heinous punch found on the hall of many of the great world events of the past. 30 years, i was always pleased to see him when i was prime minister, because he brought me extraordinary insight on both proposals. the she informed us to consider salary as a strong friend and would be willing to support the kingdom with whatever the

kingdom need and of discussion from there on everything else was technically he explained to mrs batch and this was a deal with saudi arabia and therefore things were done differently. they wanted 43000000 pounds worth of weaponry. that was 6000000000 compound in commission. the vast majority of what most people understand is bribes. we'll continue to work together against the terrorists who threaten the way of life of us to the one day my phone rang and it was a man called eddie coming to me. actually, he said, i've been working for a travel company and we had a kind of slush funds we used to distribute to saudis and other arabs when they came to britain to be all to help the path of arms deals.

and it's always extra stories that when the saudi military officers would come along even present the campaigns of cutlery, that was something that they liked. another thing they liked was girls. so he would take them out in the town and get them girls. to be honest, it seemed like quite small beer payments made some of them for rather an atlantic activities. i know gaming, chip, civic talks about cool girls that sort of thing. there's only 2 things that count in business, my friends, money, and sex. the rest, you can write as much as you like, is absolute garbage. you to measure weapon beautiful depends on the secretary. because they're more distracted looking at your secondary something when you're talking about. and that is sometimes all the, as you need to use and

ask what agency called blog is because of the special taste of the street. stuff of the army, lay blonde wood. so we had the secretary of the embassy, come and review the photos. you said i want this when i, when this, when i, when this, when i, when this one i had the girls arrived one day before. i said, you know, i know you will be paid handsomely for this, but do me a favor if you get any people thought that is relevant, please bring across because i can use it. and for each interesting information, i will give another 2000 and your bonus. so with 60 grand i signed the contract with 3000000, so it wasn't ideal. and then my phone rang again, and it was another whistle. and he said, you have no idea what it is that you're getting into here. and he said, a slush fund is much, much bigger than you realize. our job was to look after the really high level people, those who used to come to england, who are being bribed essentially by

b a. were people at the level of the head of the saudi air force who was a royal prince. we would fly them to los angeles and they would buy cars and dresses and it wasn't shopping like you. and i would think in the end, when they gathered together all their shopping, we would charter an entire jumbo jet to fly it all back to saudi arabia. it was in the attempt to try and trace through the bank accounts who the ultimate beneficiaries are. that the case became really very serious, is the trail appeared to lead towards senior members of the sacking room family. the most outrageous example was that a i know to, to speak with away with print, spend one point, maybe a president of a huge commercial airline, all of his very own which he promptly have painted in the gray and silver colors of the dallas cowboys. and his favorite american team,

and he used to fly around in that god cheerfully the k centered on establishing the ultimate beneficiaries of exceptionally knowledge amounts of money paid by sherry space for consultancy services. has evidence that mark fashion. this is not just some got 12000000 in cash for his work as a fixer. ah, no, no. no one is somebody beautiful weapon close to a name? if you want to sell on the market, you're looking probably about $3500.00 euros. and why do you keep it in the house? because i was older and you can do that legally. yeah, so no, but yeah,

more or less, you can, as long as it's in the house. and you know, the kind of the neighbor i got, nothing is money. i don't mind paying bribes to bull additions. it's part of the deal. the thing about politicians is very much like prostitutes, but only more expensive the policies. is it dated by the whims of the arms industry? politicians are nothing more than the sales reps by the front. they have as much power as a middle ranking is they could have been lucky martin. at the end of the day they do what they told. when an executive goes to bribe a foreign official, he says don't self look. i've taken a lot of risk to take this $5000000.00 that i'm paying to the prime minister of x, y, z mixon arrangement with prime minister x y, z. i'll hand over the 5000000,

but you take cancel that fine and you send it to the following bank account and switzerland will share in this learning. yes. the 1st time and executive does that any collect $2500000.00. he says, wow, this is a good business to be in. and within moments of that realization he is now no longer in the business of showing airplanes. he's in the business of selling bribes and he has no scouring of the world for somebody to find to bribe ah, she has a fuse in june. to to, to mention the i was, i had to do the coach extension i each call.

ah, good bye. when i'm in the phone rang again and this was somebody who said you have no idea what you're getting into. he said this whole be a thing is much, much bigger. goes right to the very top. what he had was something that you never see as a journalist. swiss bank records of international covered payments going all over the world. he showed me how be a set up a whole system with lloyd's bank under which they channeled secret payment into a british virgin islands of your company, called red diamond from red diamond. the money went into his guys swiss bank account and he then used it to distribute to the local politicians, taking

a big truck graham self, of course, may not showing up lee. and i believe most companies are not in the business of making payments. passing, as you suggest, a large sum of money to employees of governance is just not the way my business we've done me. we were actually able to publish what was the most dangerous story the prince band had been given, not just a claim, but over the years, a total of 1000000000 pounds. we did not invent corruption. i mean, i had them and he wouldn't have him. and they had hanky panky and they had to go down to add so the to this is human nature neutral punch, a state one and a friend. what is great? of course none of us are greedy. it's only the other this, the world runs on individuals pursuing their separate enters all

those people who believe that greed violence, etc, the driver. so primal instincts, other really things and everything else is a social construction. they've lost their mind. and for the last 50 years, at least, policy has been made based on the assumption of green. and it's ruined the one on the right of this pattern. i believe there is no nature of society say to nurture individualism. i don't accept that at all. i think there are very many 4 things besides what they're saying. i love you, make it what is a society that decides that the bulk of its budget is going to go to manufacturing really have a military center. they have made a moral decision that militarism is more important than the creation of well being

for the population. it's not the world i want to live in. i want to live in the real world. and the real world is people by real emotion, including love and generosity. my god, if you want is freedom, the freedom of human beings of individuals to pursue their own values. i think what the term freedom means is economic license and the economic license of those who control property and those who control capital has in fact and a threat not only to equality, but a threat to the freedom of peoples all over the world. and not only in europe and in the united states, but nafrica in asia and in latin america. i want you to know me any society in which you've had any large measure of that freedom where capitalism and free enterprise has not been the predominant mechanism. the free enterprise system has spread through the 4th of arms, and those arms were wielded by government that was government intervention under the name of the free enterprise system, but

a government intervention which destroyed the freedoms of many people, not least of which are the people of chile ah, yeah. i from the 900 fifties all the way through the 1970s. the cia and the u. s. military were engaged in covert actions throughout central america throughout africa, really throughout the world where they were assassinating populous leaders. they were backing up right way military winters, funding an army desk was by the conference in the corolla or a battalion 316 and 100. and. and there were the state of assassinations across the globe in countries like mine, people have been killed to be quiet. to know that any they, anytime you're going to be killed, you don't know how,

but it's coming. we were fighting in only dark and still we are fighting only guards. mines that don't one thing we're going inclusiveness. but just to direction. it's not only about taking from deals but thinking from the people even to dreams. take on the night. the last half of what is called the cold war, not to be a very hot war for many parts of the world. from the standpoint of what it would cause, the victims, what i will think of really as of people trying to make their own futures. there was an attempt in the global south to create an alternative imagination for people, but in the early 1970 is this attempt was destroyed. and it was stopped through

a real genuine attempt by the global law to take over the institutions of the world, including the world bank, the i m f. so it's not simply that the people of the south incapable of getting forward day dream. i was a very strong name. james. fascinated it's not just the one off killing the other. cool. then it's the entire dream that had to be killed in i will be, she told us that book on our cutting for a much better

over the orders for the wireless t and exceed your service. you me, one touch base when i say that this here indeed you are going to him and be able to come in div i'm indeed each thing that a she, i i,

[000:00:00;00] i join hearings of the house, select committee to investigate over arms transaction with iran. and the select committee on secret military assistance to iran and the nicaraguan opposition will come to order september on tuesday, right? rushing most in parliamentary elections and the president putin. 21 year grip on power. the listening post dissects the media, how they operate, the stories they cover, and the reason why the 911 attacked over the world 20 years on the war that followed had finally ended and i've done it. but that's what caught, this didn't real, obviously unique,

attractive on i can help you in history through the eyes of the fearless and vision we will make it. germany goes to the polls and elections the, the angular merkle replace. after 15 years in power. what will the results mean for german and european union? september on al jazeera stories that need to be told, find a way and demand to be heard. opening the window into another light and challenging perception. witness documentary change the way on al jazeera, around the world. a powerful entities are working to manipulate an influence on the controls, taking algorithms that are being developed and designed to push the content that says quick me, every click we make is value. so often what, what ends in the 3rd of a 5 last series raise in mexico,

examining how the propaganda and prop shape contents all fail the algorithm. there is no channel the coverage world views like we do. the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care, it's something but we want to know, how does these things affect people? we revisit places day, even when there are no international headline houses, there are really invest in that, and that's the privilege. as a journalist. oh, i'm on the inside and the headlines on al jazeera us president joe biden has defended his withdrawal of troops from afghanistan, cooling the evacuation. extraordinary success, his face criticism over the chaos of the past few weeks. as i've got this done

rapidly fell under the control of the taliban bonded blamed afghan forces the collapsing far more quickly than expected. we succeed in what we set out to do and i can't stand over
