frank assessment is orcus likely to change biking behavioral. it's not going to change their behavior. they are going to continue to do what they do and in depth analysis of the days global headlights inside story on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah clara, i'm fully back to bo, this is the news. our live from our world headquarters in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, a trail blazer and trusted advisor to several u. s. presidents. collin powell, the 1st black secretary of state, as diets, flooding and landslides hate southern india. after heavy rains, dozens are killed and more bad weather is on the way. also the sour protesters stage are sitting outside sedans, presidential palace,

demanding the prime minister, dissolving dream government. plus. this is how it sounds and how it looks when i scott reach to see. we are in greenland looking at the melting ice sheet and its consequences for all of us and in sport, the house of next year is football. world comp have announced a new partnership with the world health organization was spanish tennis player paula: but osa has won the biggest title of her career sheet, former world and one victoria's herancha in indian wells final ah thank you for joining us. collin powell, one of the leading figures of american military and foreign policy for nearly 2 decades, has died at the age of 84. his family confirmed the new saying power died from covered 19 complications. he was the 1st black american to serve as both secretary

of state and as the country's top general, our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins, looks back on calling pounds life and career. colin powell spent his career breaking barriers. he was the son of jamaican immigrants and spent 35 years in the u. s. army. he led combat forces in vietnam and eventually became a 4 star general. powell was ronald reagan's national security adviser in the 1980s in 1989, george h. w. bush made him the pentagon, top military officer, chair of the joint chiefs of staff. i will do it at a broken united states directly to do and what the bush administration wanted. the invasion of iraq in january 1991 in response to his invasion of kuwait several months earlier. and with unrelenting, overwhelming use of military force. the powell doctrine was born. you have to kind

of a clear understanding of why they're being committed for what purpose. and it can't just be was seen all this terrible stuff because the gulf war turned power into a hero. many wanted him to run for president, but he refused. instead, powell broke the color barrier once more, he was the 1st african american to serve as secretary of state during george w bush's presidency. during that tenure, powell did one thing that ultimately changed his reputation. he argued for the invasion of iraq in 2003 before the un security council acts and iraq's behavior show that saddam hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction. the evidence for powells case turned out to be false. he accepted responsibility for helping to lead the country into what pow later called an unjustified war. since i deeply regret that the information,

some of the information on all that some of the information i presented with from multi source was wrong. and it is a lot on my record. but yeah, i, there's nothing i can do to change that block over time pals, regret turned into disillusion with the republican party. he endorsed democratic presidential candidate brock obama in 2008. the visibility was far because of the inclusive nature of his campaign because he is reaching out all across america. he gave similar reasons for backing hillary clinton over donald trump in 2016, and did the same for joe biden in 2020 with joe biden in the white house. you will never doubt that he will stand with our friends and stand up to our adversaries. never the other way around. after the storming of the u. s. capital on january 6th, 2021. by then president donald trump supporters. powell announced he was quitting

the republican party and he called on trump to resign. not surprising from a man who had always believed in duty to country before politics and had devoted his career to just that the u. s. secret secretary of defense lloyd austin, has paid tribute to pow saying his last a friend and mental the world lost. one of the greatest leaders that we have ever witnessed almost lost the great huffman and the family was a tremendous form. and i lost her a tremendous personal friend and mentor. he has been my mentor for a number of years. i always made time for me and i can always go to him with, with tough issues. he always had great re council we. we will certainly motion. i feel as if i have

a hole in my heart. just this morning of this just recently when i speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how kato's life from the white house kimberly collin power set out. i drove cove in 19 related complications, even though he was double vaccinated. what as a family said yeah, the family made that a very prominent aspect of their announcement on social media saying he was fully vaccinated. but going on to talk about the last than the grief that they are feeling saying we have lost, remarkable, and loving husband, father ground, father and great american. so certainly it is painful for the family and it is being noted on social media that in fact it's even been trending. powell, fully vaccinate and given the fact that we do know that this does happen on occasion, particularly to communities of color that are more susceptible to co good 19, but still that doesn't make the loss any easier. knowing those facts,

but you can still pass from coke 19 and be fully vaccinated as the case of colin powell, who has at 84 died of those complications. but we should point out as well that the reaction has come not just from the family or from current members of the administration, but past presidents also now starting to send their condolences for example george w bush, who of course appointed colin powell to be his secretary of state saying this laura and i are deeply saddened by the death of colin powell. he was a great public servant, started with his time as a soldier during vietnam. many presidents relied on general powells counsel and experience. he was national security adviser under president reagan, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under my father and president clinton and secretary of state during my administration. he was such a favorite of precedents that he earned the presidential medal of freedom twice. he

was highly respected at home and abroad, and most important holland was a family man and a friend, laura and i send and their children are sincere condolences as they remember the life of a great man. i think that last part so important the fact that well, he was and identified as a republican. he certainly did cross along party lines because his duty was to country that something he made a point about not to an a party affiliation. and that is how he is remembered in a very divided america, where we no longer see men that hold on to those views. kimberly thank you very much. kimberly hawkins bringing us their reaction from the white house to the death of colin powell. let's discuss this further now with martin reid and who's a former f b i agent and senior vice president of the so fond group which is a security and intelligence consultancy. thank you very much martin to being with. busy us, i think outside of the us many will remember collin powell,

as the man who defended the american decision to invade iraq in 2003. we all remember his presentation at the u. n. to justify the war in iraq, which was faulty and heave and later of knowledge of this state had faint his reputation. would you agree with that? would you say that this was his lasting legacy yesterday? that that was his concern. it were, were not for his defense in the lead up or the causes belie for the us to go to war iraq. his legacy would have been entirely different, which is unfortunate because as your correspond didn't mention in the previous segment, he had an extraordinary career of 35 year career in a military where he rose and ranged if either chairman or the joint chiefs of staff and then follow that in a number of high profile national security administration positions with 3 different dom presidential administrations, extraordinary career. he was

a remarkably human being and a highly respected leader. but i think one of his big regrets were his big regret is going to be, is the facts of the us invasion of iraq and the lead up to what, ah, which was ultimately based on false information. my last stand by i'm going to bring in ban hodges now is also joining us on this news. our ben is a retired us lieutenant general and is with the center for european policy analysis . joining us from frankfurt, i do agree with their what martin said, they're been of course upon power, one of the most respected public figures in american public life. but again, the war in 2003 in the fact that he was the person who defended at the u. s. involvement and death in that war has somewhat overshadowed everything that he's achieved. would you agree with that? well actually no, i would not agree that this overshadowed everything he's achieved. i think go cause legacy of martin says a lie,

a time of service. and the fact that he owned up to his mistake there, they did you to which you're referring to his defense of the decision to go on to iraq. and he acknowledged it was a mistake. and nobody's ever accused him. i think of him personally fabricating something. and nobody would ever acute, there will be any yes man, just doing whatever the president told him to do. so being a person of integrity doesn't mean you never make that mistake. he'll also be remembered martin, i think as a general, they the u. s. military during the gulf war, who led the u. s. military during the gulf war and you lived in the middle east when he was secretary of state. how was he viewed by leaders and people in this region martin? he was well respected as a secretary of state, all in the middle in the lead up to immediately after the aftermath of 911 p. for the alliance, the u. s. and other nations used to go into afghanistan by his highly regarded

throughout not only the middle east by, throughout the world. and again, this goes back to his extraordinary career in the military. and then his service to 3 administrations very was been hodges of course we all ran by colin powell as a 1st african american joint chiefs of staff and also the youngest. he was the 1st black secretary of state also. but leaving aside race, this is someone who old so that of the pinnacle of american foreign and military policy for 40 years. and he toyed with the idea of running for president, but he didn't. why do you think that is? look, oh, every officer that ever served in the u. s. military in the last 40 years knew who colin powell was, that he was just this paragon of this is what an officer should look like. how he had speak. he managed for 1st as an adviser to

president reagan, and then later chairman of the joint chiefs where the political and the military come together. he managed to be able to, he knew how to speak to presidents and civilian leaders to represent and to give his best professional military advice, which was his constitutional duty as chairman of the joint chiefs. but he never lost sight of the fact that you know, that advice would have to be carried out by young women and men in uniform of all of our services and probably with allies. and i don't know if any chairman's been as good or has been better than him and doing that. and i think as martin says, easy so well respected by who was respected because of that. why would he not run for president? i think, you know, he would have family considerations and, and, and, and i think he, he could have also fairly said, hey i've,

i've done my share for the country. you know, time for someone else to help me pick up the load. yeah. lord austin talked about mountain rate and he talked about, he's called him power as a mentor, a power wasn't of course, the 1st african american general, but he was, i guess, enormous, an enormous mentor for, for i generation of black offices. what, what do you think the legacy of that is within the military service in the us today? well, you know, yes, he was a mentor. he was a role model. again, you know, the as starting early in the, in the regular ministration is the 1st african american national security advisor. and then under bush administration, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, a 1st bush restriction and then can junior rigel. yes. i mean, he highly respected and i think in the study of leadership for years to come at our military pathologist was in the service academies in the

professional colleges and elsewhere. he will be a case study in leadership for everything that he has done right on. so i final question to both of you. let me start with you. i have been what do you think the well should remember collin power for his integrity and his humility? i mean, of course he, you know, he had a reason to be confident that he had earned all of these things, but he still came across as a very humble human. and, and i think soldiers as well as those are political leaders warmed or gravitated towards. it and in his book an american journey got, i think i marked or tabs about 100 pages in that book because there are so many wonderful examples of,

of things that made him who he is. i martin, you have the last word. of course, we talked about the legacy of 2003 in the u. s. involvement in iraq. but what do you think? he should be able to remember for he should be remembered for 40 plus years of service to his country. first i have stage arm the officer, chairman, joint chiefs of staff and of course is raul is, is significant wall in through your administration. all that should be his legacy. truly are a remarkable man in a sad day in america. we america lost a r o law. so remarkable approach today. thank you both gentlemen for talking to us and giving us your reaction there to news of collin powells death. we are expecting the u. s. secretary of state antony blank in to be speaking very shortly. i will probably peer reaction from him to use of column power death will bring that to you

and their family members, and also the american and canadian group where, kidnapped as they left, an open h. d had a capital porto prince. it's the latest in a wave of kidnappings which have risen dramatically since the presidents of fascination and july as bringing in rossie jordan, who is live at the state department in washington dc. what is the state department saying about investigation? what more are we learning about the school behind this kidnapped? well, the state department isn't saying much about this case, be a beyond saying that because there are a us citizens involved, that it is going to be working very, very closely with asian government to try to bring these people safely home. a lease stud, get them away from other kidnappers, it is worth pointing out that haiti is one of those countries listed as a tier for basically a country that americans should not travel to unless they absolutely have to. and

it could very well be argued that the missionaries are working for this ohio based on non profit, had been working in the country for some time. and were road basically trying to provide assistance in the wake of this summer's earthquake. now it's been reported that they were returning from an orphanage going back to their compound near the capital portal once when their road vehicle was stopped and they were abducted, its been reported in the united states process that to one of those being kidnapped was able to get a message out on whatsapp saying that how they were being kidnapped. and that tub hateful should basically raise the alarms and try to bring them to safety. now there is a daily press briefing here at the state department at 18 g al jazeera will be attending, but it's not clear how much more can be said about this case. because if there's one thing that to the state department has come to find that if it says too much,

it could possibly imperil those that they are trying to help. but to suffice to say there is a very much deep concern here in the u. s. government about the status of those missionary workers. rosen. thank you very much for that. rosalind jordan lined for a santa state department in washington. russia is closing nato's permanent mission in moscow. the move is in response to the expulsion of half of russia's mission to the western military alliance nearly 2 weeks ago. it's also closing all other nato related missions. nato is accused to 8 members of being undeclared russian spies, rush us, foreign minister, announced a retaliatory move in a media briefing earlier. while blaming natal for the worst thing relations almost for a future. we don't have proper conditions for basic diplomatic activities as a result of natal steps in response to natives actions. we suspend the work of our permanent mission to nato, including the work of the chief military representative starting from november 1st . nadine baba, falling the story for us from london joined, says,

now live on the news hour and a deem what practical difference as russia closing its mission to nato. make willfully, if you listen to the german farm is hika mosse, who spoken in the last few hours. it's a very worrying development. he says that these moves will make the west relationship with russia even more difficult, in his words, saying that very well severely damage that relationship. now, as you were just saying in the very short term, the next couple of weeks russia will be bringing back home the remaining members of its mission to nato based in brussels, the belgian capital. but actually not nato not near nature headquarters in a completely different suburb of the city. after half of them were. busy were actually expelled, as you were saying last week by nato. that obviously has good moscow and

lever off the russian foreign minister says that all of nato's military and military liaison and information offices in moscow are also to close down. so really not going in the right direction, but perhaps not a huge surprise. nato said it has taken note of love robes, comments, but hasn't actually been officially communicated or, or notified of these imminent steps. the background. of course, all this is worth sitting in relationship in the ration ship between nato and russia over many years. russia's foreign ministry says that the latest actions by nato confirmed they are not interested in an equal.
