these are my baby, my students witness. showcase this inspiring documentary that changed the world on al jazeera. ah no changing under the stories you hear. us military commander is called the end of the 20 year war and i kind of sound a strategic failure. and his 1st congressional testimony following the chaotic american withdraw. last month, the military's talk ross were being questioned by sentences on capitol hill. the button administration has been widely accused of being unprepared for the fall of campbell. senior officials have admitted the taliban forces advanced far more quickly than anticipated. we helped build a state mister chairman, but we could not for donation. the fact that the afghan army that we in our

partners trained simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise, and it would be just honest a claim. otherwise, we need to consider some uncomfortable truths that we didn't fully comprehend. the depth of corruption and poor leadership and the senior ranks that we didn't gras damaging effect effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders. that we didn't anticipate the snowball effect caused by the deals that the taliban commander struck with local leaders in a wake of the doha agreement. and that the doha agreement itself had a demoralizing effect on afghan soldiers. opposition politicians in june as you have worn down call for widespread protest. and that's the president backtracks on a decision to seize executive power for parties have formed a coalition against k siad for accusing him of carrying out a qu. last week,

the president out he ruled by decree and ignore parts of the constitution. the taliban says it's trying to reinstate a constitution from nearly 6 decades ago. i've got songs, new router, i want to apply the 964 charter but only where it doesn't conflict with their version of islamic law. existing constitution was drawn up with the health of the united states in 2004. the taliban says it won't. no foreign interference. in spain has declared the island of la paula disasters. own 9 days after the caribbean volcano began erupting the government's 1st package of ages. they marked more than $12000000.00 to help rebuild homes and replace furniture and essential goods. while the 600 houses and banana plantations have been destroyed, to stay with us out of the world continues next. the not

israel's military operation in may 2021 against the gallons a strip bombed and destroyed a number of tower blocks. these high rise buildings with both residential and commercial use. these radio authorities claimed the buildings were being used for military purposes by her mass. the palestinian brit, which governors garza ah, the minimal. but a lot of the demonstration, it's like, you know how they apply to evaluate what you get. this took them scary and a half more was how they should have cut the cost of the home because we'd be what should have been had a lot and we'll have the year to stuff took them at us get to you can be can

addition is slightly system on having the 2nd had the stuff off the buckle bush in the one of the, one of the most important aspects of the principle of proposed proportionality is the task that asks whether the same goal can be achieved with a more targeted, more focused, more restricted use of force that would put in risk, much less civilians and civilian and civilian objects. and so if, for example, the israeli forces reach the conclusion that the mos military offices in an apartment building in

a tower. and they are located in one or 2 floors. and they can target those floors only. then of course if they target the whole building that would be on proportional mileage analysis. and i don't have the slide here. and um, i mean, it was definitely helpful. i'm not alone. all hello brazil. and the loose was not unless you had the lumps because me come in a month know a whole man in a slightly and understand the approach that it can be. let me confuse him. her is to ask you what you follow up and you've been with me and i am, i love the sound of the support of an official schedule for now getting on the

i can probably look on wednesday kind of a little bit about that. i can look at it and we'll see a couple of the i will leave it as m of the day of it me, me, le mars are within what bob will out of the hard on the hopefully get the ability to hope and the delivery would be really good for us. a lot of them will have today. she will be if you're the good the whole lot. i live like i thought it was. why do i live? you know, see me how to be you know, i do most okay. how can i thought that it was a visual color because i over 90 feet. but the video, the video was if they knew that the

strategic military route, militarily relevant equipment, was in the building that they must have known. where in the building. i mean, it would be hard to have one type of knowledge without the other type of knowledge . and i think that a more reasonable interpretation is that this military operation was directed not only at hum us, but at the overall population of gasser. they had a hybrid motivation of both deterring and destroying what they could of her massive capabilities, but also warning the people that if they tolerate the leadership of her mass,

they must expect to suffer consequences. at the same time, the, i've lived there for a number of years. and if there is nowhere safe in gaza, they're using the large weaponry as a spectacle to create an image that goes on television. that's what it's for. it's so that everybody in gaza gasps and says, oh my god, that is the point of the that is the military objective is to scar civilians. it's to terrorize civilians. it's to create a punitive cost, a penalty for resisting for not just staying in your ghetto, on starvation level israeli allowances through the checkpoints, and to not say anything about it. and as soon as you fight back, they want to make the cost as heavy as possible while israel and he's really

lawyers have been referring to the mass offices as a justification for the attack other israeli spokes. people have said different things. they have talked about the, the damage to the towers as an advantage in convincing the palestinian population that the way hamas conduct its affairs will bring about economic collapse. that the collapse of the buildings is intimidating. and you know, it's a show of force. now these kind of statements give rise to even deeper suspicions that it's not just a disproportional attack, but it's actually the target of death that was not

a legitimate target. the aim of the attack was not legitimate because intimidating . the civil society, the population is not a legitimate aim in the laws of warfare, which could be moved out of use a phone call, but not to be my last name out of the nigger baker is or the had my thought here to get them to come and pick them up is a mac, and i'm in the, in when them, i mean, is it done in the bridge? my being up is i had to see it off my feet by the when the full by them you must do ha, a miracle floor. it's a half when love duck with the vehicle fluffy moth. i'm an engine that she doesn't know to look into

a month to. she wouldn't of the she and that she mac on quincy. i'm nana to know what kind of stuff but the lesson is it'll money for the lesson. for the, for the us last for thread was not about us from us. i don't that her level to zone . look for mozilla level clearly and that's how you and i come. i had the 2nd looking figure, the level of i look to see what going on. and i mean, the problem was if it eludes well why i could look what was the look that i'm not sure what i was talking to you of raj army you love. nik i'm a bit of that please. she will put a 2nd for the rest of august and it shouldn't be. it was what some of us were here had the live off as and it off with an extra

ah. and more than he does. i'm on so one for a lot and you just lay out a fever from what you can you can afford to an email, but a lot most of the call be as well. so there's a lot of talk in the is really media about as if hamas is separate from the palestinian people as if they wouldn't be protecting their own families. they will put up military installation in the same building as their families because that's not logical to do as a family member. so we have to think of these things in human term, the israelis managed to de humanize the conflict, but nobody and hamas is setting up a dangerous application. next to a civilian environment. the

the the in the come off understood in 2014, the protective parisian. that when the youth dens area, when the hide behind the civilians, they will be protected and, and they will be immune in immune. there will be immune behind these people and i can tell you that in the case of july, i believe they abuse actually abuse, jazeera and other media because they knew that we will not. he didn't feel like if we not bump just building after on july. how was demolished,

the president and ceo of the associated press news agency, spoke to the media. we are shocked and horrified that the israeli military would target and destroy the building housing, a piece, bureau, and other news organizations in gaza. they've long known the location of our bureau and new journalists were there, the press for proof of the allegations that come up with inside that same building as the a p t 0 bureaus. let me bring in the top editor sally busby. were you ever informed before yesterday that might be operating there in the building? now, we heard this really say they have evidence. we don't know what that evidence that we think it is appropriate at this point for there to be an independent look at what happened yesterday, an independent investigation into what happened yesterday with the head of kristen . it's more closely unless the department of safety just put the 3rd holder and

hand and a month about the had to hear that he must have met the $51.00. sure before that. and had he met with him and the heavy and all that fun with the head and the couple . oh not that i mean oh my mouth of the system the. i think the army should present it case and evidence to the public in general. it's an conceivable that a residential civilian tower is being pancake and the army that does it does not explain what was there that justified such a horrendous, brutal attack. the people that need to have the bruise, people that have the, have the proven to have all of the details that they have the they should have about the about the come up and we have it. but not every time we can expose

the digital to all of the world because some of the, some of the evidence are based on intelligent units. so we got exposed everything, but we do expose the united states as an example and to people that needed for and to we knew we want them to know in to see that there is a terror infrastructure guy that had a bombing over the weekend. that house a u. s. media organization, do you feel that that was justified? have you received a briefing on that? do you want to get a briefing on that at this point? to me looks like a major mistake by the israelis. and i welcome contrary information, but this is part of the reason why we need to get a cease fire very soon. israel is not going to provide some sort of proper evidence that these towers we use for military purposes. the buildings themselves

are commercial buildings. the july building is a mil is a media building that has media offices, functioning all the time, people coming in and out all the time, more so than any building in the entire gaza strip. other than maybe a hospital people are going in and out of that building all the time. the idea that you have a secret facility in that building. it just doesn't whole to me. so called da here doctrine, which was developed in the war against lebanon in i think, 2006. the he doctrine was explained by the i d. f commander in chief at the time as deliberately inflicting disproportionate damage on the civilian population. as a way of discouraging, as boa provocations, and in my view and in the view of the goal,

stone commission that investigated the 20082009 military operation in gaza. the jackie doctrine has been consistently practice by israel and other words, it has made it part of its policy to engage in disproportionate responses to what it believes to be provocation. ah, i do think that israel's attacks against residential buildings against media targets against health care facilities and the gaza strip, did help to shift us public opinion against israel because it was a very dramatic and very visible affirmation of war crimes. israel was

committing that was played out in real time over social media over the news outlet . i never heard the united states criticize about the july building and what i know unit, the euro gave him the information that they're required about the how much structures that they have in the building. and from what i know, they go live, they get it, but i don't need, i don't need to hear about this news. i know. i know because i know why, you know, the idea and i was serving in the ideas we remember hit any target or any infrastructure that we don't know for sure that the if you buy from us or by any innovation that solid charity to push for an end to the violence evidence. hundreds, march through downtown chicago is the bloody conflict in the middle east. the chicago coalition for justice in palestine rally margins has been exposed. it's

been bowed me down, challenge and i brought it to people out of town with i think that it's largely the result of grassroots pressure and the pressure from members of congress that resulted in a change in the by the ministration. i think especially important was the statement that senator bob menendez was the chair of the senate foreign relations committee put out after israel, flattened that residential building in gaza that housed all the media offices and said that israel needed to be held accountable for what it did now it's very significant because sen menendez has been a champion of israel for many, many decades in his congressional career. so the fact that you had someone so prominent and such a high position in congress who is so pro israel say these things. i think that

that definitely had a big consideration in terms of changing the domestic dynamics of the politics is using it right herself. the international human rights organizations have also criticize the actions of both the israeli army and her mouth since the violence human rights watch said quote, rocket and mortar attacks during the may 2021. fighting in the gaza strip, which killed and injured civilians in israel and gaza, violated the laws of war, an amount to war crimes in a separate report, human rights watch stated. it found no evidence that members of palestinian groups involved in the military operations. had a current or long term presence in any of the towers at the time they were attack i although undertook for caution such as advanced warning tax, in some cases,

it slides in such densely populated areas. we felt that the high level of fatalities, that injuries, as well as the widespread destruction of being an instruction such as re, fuse concerns of these wild compliance with the principal. distinction of proportionality under international law is found to be in this proportion. and what's the impact on how to make on war crimes for you to dig deep at what mobiles tell your thoughtful dial my for july tech about so hope of my listen people, me young collateral joining us like 80 have a lot about possibly 1000 miles and hadn't had a trouble, could it be

a lot for printing yet, while you bumble up up, up a 1000 miles out of the had a couple incent, caesar stuff for the united nations top human rights official has condemned israel of expulsion of the un. special rutter from the country calling it unprecedented and deeply regretable on monday is ready for it is detained richard folk and held him for 20 hours before putting him back on a plane to geneva. israel has understood that it's legal arguments are not persuasive, so they've tended to attack the, the person or the institution. for instance, they called the i c, c decision, pure anti semitism. or, you know, rather than saying it was wrong for legal grad. they didn't bother with the argument. and the same thing in, in my experience they, they want to wound the messenger rather than deal with

a message. because their arguments are too weak now. and that's why i've been saying that the palestinian so winning the legitimacy war their, their grievances are gaining more public support and understanding then israel's proper propaganda, even though it's heavily subsidized and all kinds of ideological or support, it's losing ground. analia of keen intellect or thought earlier, the williams, the la with a matter of hob heather hill abroad, you have in my 2nd a lu, julie called the and you had the lawyer militia, fee and say to me, then odyssey, left campus online

for jen. other luck, i don't know of the, of the heard of it at the the for the day and couldn't murphy and she, prior to those. so you over the door. so you got off on the, for the, you know, and i've seen no, have you here? well, good lee of last year about that, are you al, jazeera condemned in the strongest turns the bombing and destruction of its offices by the israeli military in gather it said it viewed this as a clear act to stop journalists from reporting events on the ground. oh, if it's to rebuild garza following the may 2021 attacks afloat. 2 months after the bombings the world bank, the e u, and the un concluded a rapid damage, a needs assessment report, forgotten. they estimated the recovery cost to be up to $485000000.00 us dollars

over the next 2 years. the human cost with the death of at least $253.00 pounds still remains, including $65.00 children killed in the israeli bombardment. on these really side 12 people, including 2 children, were killed by him ass rocket fire. despite the bombing of their offices, al jazeera, associated press, and other media organizations continue to report on events in gaffa ah, ah ah,

ah. the still big circulation in the bite? it stretches clyde wise right into the red interior attempt is dropped off the recent quite high values i have to say. and all his adding to an increase in the heat being brought in. and the marshman brought in a new south wales. i could put a queen's and victorian a c t to means it's understood pretty big with i think potentially damaging hail as a result of that that all marches off shore and juice is quite a strong wind to the bath, straight again to some victorian tasmania during thursday, the same time pop refuse showers. percy's la clauser at about $23.00, and darwin's enjoying the chuckle, heated and no longer in the record valley. 33, still very active weather in the western pacific. this is mindy lay. we think it's going to go towards japan, but not make land context,

but you'll feel the influence, the same time, this belt of whether the plum raise it gave about a 100 millimeters, a movie, steady south with. and as they keep going south to the temperance shanghai come down, the weather behind is dry and then he got to come together. over of pad is not a good prospect. the full cast for tokyo, obviously can be western windy that really arrives during friday. the best of days, the pitches joint. why? that's the beauty of telling me in general with i've always wanted to make the audience feel something to create an emotional connection with the story. ah, sometimes you have to go to great lengths to do just ah, when we made a film on the bar without fear or favor,

we thought this hand the fee of the panoramic course and the behavior you later when the truck, you realize what's going on. the police investigated right and i was expelled me that i couldn't hide from the truth as a tax on press freedom escalade. i work the al jazeera because i hold the line. mom drew ambrose in. ready to often of cornerstone as portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film, archives fanning for decades reveals the forgotten truth of the countries modern history. the forbidden real park free the rise of the machine on

a just a holding the powerful to account as we examined the us his role in the world on al jazeera. ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, lauren taylor. this is sharon hughes. i live from london coming off the fact that the afghan army that we in our partners trained simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise and us defense.
