spoke to a former afghan translator who works with the british army if there isn't an office full recognition by the government so far and the process soft been often terp there's order not very much at the top priority of the ministry of defense i think minister of defense under u.k. government as a whole are forgetting that interpreters were key assets off the the. long combat military mission in afghanistan and leaving them behind and forgetting them is putting them at risk. u.s. president joe biden announced the withdrawal of american and nato troops a couple of days ago the reason the translators you help them are so scared is that the taliban which is resurgent in the country as branded them national traitors and considers them legitimate targets as here i am again says interpreters that been

left traumatized. i am regularly in touch with the afghan interpreters who are searched for the british army and they are still stuck in afghanistan and they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma and fare every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next they didn't so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan unless the british government acts quickly and introduces an inclusive scheme that allows all interpreters to relocate to the u.k. the situation will not be resolved our part of the international. mission subjective in afghanistan was to secure europe and american borders from the threat of terrorism so afghans who joined the international forces and world doesn't target us alongside these forces they are actually the core of the ends of the safety and security of europe and america leaving them behind is not

a way of morality. and human. the russian foreign ministry has published a sanctions list which includes senior by the ministration officials it's a direct response the new american restrictions imposed on moscow over alleged harmful activities russia's measures also include the expulsion of 10 u.s. diplomats and the possible reduction of washington's diplomatic mission in the capital u.s. state department called the response a skill a true and regrettable earlier saskia taylor joined my colleague in a needle to assess russia's response 1st though here's what the foreign minister had to say. the latest attack on a country by dubai didn't ministration cannot. it seems that washington does not want to accept the fact that in the new geo political realities there is no place for unilateral dictatorship and the broken scenarios of containing moscow which the us short sightedly continues to deploy when you risk further degrading russia u.s.

relations we knew that this was coming in one form or another it was just a matter of time and on friday russia very demonstrative retaliated against those punitive measures that washington announced against moscow earlier this week perhaps the most interesting part is that 8 top level washington officials have been banned from entering russian territory and when i say top level i mean highlight reel you know we're talking the head of the f.b.i. the director of national intelligence the secretary of homeland security to i people who are powerful decision makers in washington also a lot less to susan rice and john bolton historically to politicians who are you know and who are. russian rhetoric alongside the names moscow explained that these individuals have been chosen precisely because they all responsibility for promoting america's anti russian policy direction i have to say this is
1:06 am
a really strong move because usually such bans are done on the low down in the quiet that are not announced publicly so clearly the kremlin here is so frustrated by what's going on that it wants to make a really bold korea statement of not 10 american diplomats have been expelled a number of american organizations suspected of interfering in russia's internal affairs have been told that they need to stop their activity and it was also made clear that if the u.s. continues to behave this way the more can and will be done including reducing the diplomatic mission here to just $300.00 and taking action that would be harmful to u.s. business interests so very loud very. of announcement leaving the door open for an improvement of relations but at the same time being practical and preparing for the worst as you see it it comes not long after what. they were going to do as regards sions what was said on thursday well you have to look at the fact up to this
1:07 am
hostile undiplomatic rhetoric coming from the white house of course now the infamous interview joe biden calling president putin the killer on international television and then this final blow out by joe biden signing what can only be called a sanction spree so you got package includes a $32.00 russian and an individual sanction for allegedly interference in last year's presidential election stateside a range of financial and technology firms targeted for power and cyber attacks on federal agencies 10 russian diplomats expelled borrowing money international made more difficult for russia to and why anyone reasonable would look at this and say well this is pretty extensive apparently joe biden claims that this was his take it easy on russia set of sanctions and that ultimately all he really wants is to be friendly and turn the pressure dial down united states is not looking to. school is she in conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship now is the time to deescalate well saying after
1:08 am
announcing a slew of sanctions is mixed messages it's illogical it's very confusing i mean generally punishment and deescalation don't go hand in hand so you can see why the russian side pointed out that the moment there's a huge disconnect between what russia says or rather what washington says and what washington does. to refrain from escalation sound hypocritical in essence to trying to talk to us from a position of strength we have repeatedly warned and proved in practice that sanctions and other pressures are not only futile but will also result in disastrous consequences for the. to decide on such provocations so clearly normalized relations between the u.s. and russia are going to require a serious shift in gear but at the moment it does definitely sound that whilst moscow of course doesn't want a deterioration in relations and it's tried everything it can to avoid that at the moment it feels that that might be the only option left. journalist and author

daniel azhar believes that the by the administration's behaving without restraint in this moves against russia america's behavior is out of control i mean the by the by demonstration is well spent the last 4 years accusing trump of being soft on russia and now is what has got into office it is trying to show that it is going to be as confrontational and hostile as a possibly and there is no charge there but i did this russian wood where it was level against moscow biden has been absolutely unrestrained he's determined to show that he's a tough guy tougher than than donald trump and so therefore he's being very aggressive with regard to both russia and and china and out and there are no restraints that's that that's the amazing thing and the u.s. is just it's rampaging or around with these charges. the

bottled drinking water brand van has made a splash for all the wrong reasons it's being accused of islamophobia over tweets encouraging people to drink more water so who do explains to you to me this is perhaps nothing more than a thirst. something to cling to the streets but the ground evian responded still things still very hopeful to hear your friends being accused of everything the fault is a lot of phobia to being a victim of intellectual terrorism and it all started with the tweens seems to listen it's not throwing its retreat if you've had a liter of water i don't necessarily even say water i mean we're all supposed to drink to eat is it day but knew this reminder of a staple for human life was put on 1st day of ramadan a festival with muslims for eating drinking during daylight hours the reaction king think and false. i have to explain to my mother how it is normal for everyone to
1:11 am
tweet about water even during ramadan because she thinks they are islamophobia you know it's ramadan you're abusing it he issued an apology coming to coors in the offense and said the post was kanimozhi without any saw it in sinking even deeper into cultural sea. i would never buy every and again inadmissible to apologize it's basically a cool health message and yet you have to apologize if in 2021 asking for drinks water since provoke it if you should have a consultation. every umbrella under tax for advertising water on ramadan day for some islamists muslim festival should be imposed on everyone well no let's stop this madness soon was ending the street. is a long way off through here in paris people with the best food boy that allegation
1:12 am
. for me no i saw the controversy i saw the to eat frankly i think it could be quincy adams in my opinion there was no bad intention and they deleted the tweet to avoid unnecessary control the city but not at all because they felt guilty. for me it's not a slam a phobic i don't understand it like that for me would denigrate a strong one who say look at her she still veiled for me that islam the full get. him or madonna when i'm doing my ramadan i know where to start in the morning and it goes on until the evening i don't eat so i don't drink it has nothing to do with business or anyone else if someone tweets like this i don't care how many muslims also took to twitter to say that they didn't think that tweet by everyone was is a little thing but leading so to question the way that any muslim had. been left insulted by evian or if somehow this whole story was the result of a real being and playing it rather see so what do you see

i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. welcome back joe biden has unveiled a new infrastructure package that's left many people confused because it's a mixed bag of the contains all sorts of. little to do with infrastructure for example on jobs and environmental issues to unpick all that is on. joe biden's infrastructure plan is getting a fair amount of criticism polls show the country is pretty divided when it comes to the plan itself but overwhelmingly americans do agree that infrastructure should be a priority joe biden is selling the plan as a jobs creator then american jobs plan is an investment in america that will create
