the, the, the, the, the headlines here on r c, u. s. troops leave the main air base and i've gotten us on the title about make big advances to the north of the country. meantime, president biden, not apparently, not in the mood should we say to talk about the issue, but happy the man protest dot outrage in london and new york over the weekend. does julian assange marks yet another birthday behind boss? and the impact of his case may go way beyond what we're seeing today. i'll be what she started. school everything that you've seen, west notices of know,

unity during america is independent say celebrations. the holidays denounced over racial issues on the program. we look at how even the stars and stripes start dividing the nation. ah, well, a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at asi international here at moscow . we put you monday stories all lined up. so the us is leaving its main military base in afghanistan, that of the by graham and field very close to the capital kabul. it's ultimately be in the heart of military operations in the country for 2 decades. a us coalition force has moved into the base at the end of 2001. it turned into a huge facility housing up 210000 soldiers know, 100 aircraft, ultimately making the strategic point of operations for washington and his nato allies in the entire region. meanwhile,

a dozen more districts in the country have fallen under the control of taliban militants. however, the american president has so far been well unwilling to address the issue. the talib, reportedly setting a deadline for all foreign troops to be gone by september, and making attempts to seize the abandoned by graham airbase, which local authorities say is also attracting looted. law poured into the information that we have american forces left the bag room air base last night. this has not been officially carbonated and reported to us, but from the ground we get these information from the situation in the area as several looters, opportunists, and others, storm background air through this morning. and with a quick response from our district administration, we were able to fall their plans are more important question present itself. how long will the afghan government be able to hold it? because looters weren't the only ones excited about the u. s. withdrawl, the taliban is coming back in force. and according to reports just in june,

they seized more than 700 trucks and armored vehicles from afghan security forces and have also getting significant chunks of territory throughout the country. humanitarian organizations are now in panic. warning of yet another wave of refugees from the country and the afghans themselves, more than a 1000 of which have recently fled to the jacob stand to seek asylum. say they want to escape the fighting by any means necessary. the. they've got, it was a the, there's no one that i'm leaving, you know, 3 to 4 days with some friends we because of the lack of job and he would leave this country otherwise. ah, i'm not aware very concerned about the return of the taliban. therefore, when to leave the country before the situation gets worse,

most of the districts and there is not even one district where there is no fighting . the taliban has even regional chief of police is to come here to get possible get out of afghanistan. it is not i must get out with all these problems who would want to leave and get this done. it's very hard to leave here. i'm going to go to belgium, the the decades of fighting and instability and gas than have already displaced some 2700000 people from their home country. in terms of numbers that 2nd only to syria. but this math us exodus might make matters even worse. so what does joe biden think of all this after all

journalists have been growing him on this issue for a while now. well, apparently not a lot. he'd rather talk about happy things like fireworks and the 4th of july is going to be in the next few days. no. my fall, we are hearing about taking more and more than happy to help provide any kind of a parent for military. for me, i'm not going to see more question again as to load life. we're bringing our, bring our troops home. we have all across america. people are going to ball games. i guess if you pretend to problem doesn't exist at all, just go away. perhaps that's just uncle sam's method. in the end, the u. s. came it saw, and then it just left. and the question on everyone's mind right now is,

what the hell was it all for? political analyst and john let robert intellect cash explains the consequences of the foreign occupation of afghanistan. seeing the massive death and destruction brought on afghanistan and the fact that the illicit drug trade expanded with us presence there. and of course, the taliban has been able to expand with u. s. presence there, all these years. americans not really knowing what the war is, even about the former president of a done. how need congress? i has even said that the us role and war in the country, the longest in us history has actually allowed extremism and terrorism to have free reign, essentially in the country and has been a spectacular failure. what we could see is that the united states may be, enters back into us, and it's done with or under the bomber administration with joe biden was part of that obama had no problem getting back in iraq after he announced that he was going

to withdraw all his forces and it is something of course, which is not something to out of the ordinary for the united states, back and involved in a war which it says that it has withdrawn from we also got an exclusive interview with a spokesman for the taliban political office in cut out, who says i've gotten astound was underestimated all these years live up on. unfortunately, the situation in the country is getting worse. if not for the occupation, the situation would not have worse than to that extent. they should have thought about that before invading under the lumber country like i've got to stand. and now the american president has announced that the foreign american troops will finally leave our country. there is no need to lay foreign troops in the country. we want to solve problems through negotiation, and we have a maintaining such a position from the very beginning. but we will negotiate with gene not as a representative of the people,

but us with just one of the afghan sides. we cannot recognize the regime which has appear along with the occupants, which is completely corrupted. they have been processed and outrageous julian assange marks yet another birthday behind bars. hundreds of his supporters gathered in london and new york to celebrate his 50th over the weekend and demand his release. washington is still seeking his extradition, where if found guilty, he could be sentenced for up to a 175 years. during his own, just charged there with conspiracy to the government computers and espionage gone into a huge international attention when wikileaks published classified military documents had exposed war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. over the past decade, assange spent 7 years in the ecuador and embassy in london, and 3 years and a u. k. maximum security prison. the latest twist, in his case came when a key witness against him are portly, admitted to giving false testimony. we spoke with a philosopher slide show, jack,

who says the assange case is exposed how certain countries are trying to maintain the illusion of freedom. achievement is not just what people usually see, disclose some documents and so on. in our songs made us aware that we are in new york where state control and social is going over. our eggs is much more resigned because they believe in being on our limits. our freedom. you still you after the 7 inch and you are already manipulated. and under control, the wish to maintain the idea of freedom. there is no day the rest is lost and when somebody be

this follows experience feed on will be demo estates always. so the link between comp, i'm speech on their own and us and so on. and state secret agencies like in this say and so on, i being a sounds stop it is the challenge to everything that follows in western notions of. 2 a grave risk to the environment and safety. that's the warning coming from greenpeace, following a leak from an underwater gas pipeline in the gulf of mexico. the company responsible is reported more than $100000000000.00 in debt. and therefore, failing to adequately maintainance facilities. ah,

the mexican energy environment and safety agency follows up on the event that occurred in the campaign. she proved related to a guest line. the incident did not generate any ah . when you think over the 4th of july,

you think of parades and parties and fireworks as america celebrates the birth of a nation. however, this year, a number of strong divisions have also been brought straight to the table. it's after our democratic congresswoman set of fled to the racial issues surrounding the celebration. cory bush said that the freedom to hold a representative is only for white people, and the black people in america still are not free. well, you can imagine that tweet to vote will a fairly mixed bag of reactions with many denouncing views of that of the national holiday. that included a fierce reaction from republicans who pointed out the cory bush herself. a black woman went from being a nurse to then serving in the house of representatives. but she was also accused of dishonoring black people fighting for the nation. of course, for some time now, the country is being split over its symbols and even the subjects taught in school without her mind. but i guess d f now looks at what american identity really means today. what makes it american,

is it being a, a patriot lesson serving in the marines. paying taxes is waving the flag, putting up the stars and stripes and poll outside your house. know that according to that media, just might make you of fanatical republican today flying the american flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen a clue will be. it's an imperfect one to a person's political affiliation and it's deeply divided nation. well, they're right about division. which media of course, flat and inflamed in the name of ad revenue. but it's everywhere. people see everything differently. everyone has an opinion that they'd rather they'd rather die than give up. everything is a battle ground, race, religion, routing, sex, orientation, police, immigration, and war. there is almost nothing left that americans agree or have the flag symbol

of unity as now a symbol of oppression. it is chatted dated, divisive and incorrect. it no longer represents democracy and freedom, it no longer represents all of us. it's not fair to be forced to own aid. it's signed for a new flag. what if the flag looked like this? and just like that out of the she the so you can see it a little way down the road protests and counter protests about changing the flag, rives and shootings and enmity. because one person's idea is a bob winnable to another. you're founded on an idea. we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty to suit, happiness, sounds corny, to america. we learn this in grade school and high school. an idea that seems to have expired. what do they learn in schools now?

critical race theory, the idea that no, we weren't created equal, but we didn't leave equal. and that racism has painted every aspect of institutional america. that's what they learn in school. now. a far cry from created equal you thought about critical race theory, which is pretty much going to be teaching kids how to hate each other. how to do, how we treat people is based on who they are and what are you in tomorrow? this is, this is how children think right in critical writing. nearing want to in one couldn't only wonder how the land they go to go off the asian americans next. and then latino paths maybe a few decades down the line and the sick twist of already they'll turn it against african americans at the end of the day, america is bursting at the seams. it's, it's more over population. it's over belief where everyone has an idea that they

think is better than everyone else's, and they demand that people respect it. in the meantime, the white house is actually tried to cash in on the 4th of july celebrations by claiming credit for cheaper barbecues, but apparently not. everyone's entirely fired up by the savings planning of cook out the sheer ketchup on the news. according to the farm bureau, the cost of a 4th of july barbecue is down from last year. it's a fact. you must heard hop dog. the biden economic plan is working and not something we can all rubbish. look what i got from the grocery store with the $0.16 . i saved. thanks biden. wow. what will we peasants do with that big 16 samson savings the possibility of their endless. where would $0.16 have been significant savings? $800.00. 23. when hot dog prices may be down, but inflation has driven us petrol prices up by

a dollar since last year. electricity and the overall cost of food is also on the up as well, with inflation at its highest now since 2008. the white house, things that instead people should be focusing on the 3000000 jobs created since joe biden took office. i think $0.16 a barbecue has more of an impact on people's lives than gas being a dollar more this time. i would say, if you don't like hotdogs, you may not care of the reduction of cost. you don't have to like that. but the 1st big i reduction, i will say that what we're most focus on is the fact that we've created now more than 3000000 jobs since the president took office. they really think that 16 senses amazing and we're going to go out to the streets and, you know, show our love for president biden over $0.16. i haven't seen much effort on the, by an administration to pursue any sort of economic policy that we have. unemployment numbers, they talk about the 3000000 jobs that they've created,

but how long has under employment and people who are working part time that want to work full time. you know, there's real unemployment numbers are much higher there at least in the double digits. and even at the same time, does it really matter if $3000000.00 jobs are created? if they're all created at mcdonald's, wendy's target and walmart, not really even s. b economy is growing at an accelerated pace, even as the economy g d p is expanding. how much does that actually translate into people's everyday lives? ahead for you here on the program on the international, but the ongoing ukrainian civil war leaving hundreds of children worded off. he was initiated a special project to get them help with his straight from the don bus region. just about 62nd. ah

ah me ah ah, i use join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics, small business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. in

the news. ah, why right now? 3 20 pm here at moscow. 7 years into the protracted civil war and eastern ukraine. hundreds of children have been injured in the conflict, and some cases simply wounded by ordinance they found just outside their homes. so here at r t, we've actually launched a special program called children of war to get help directly to those most in need . or amount casara now reports from the don bass region. such a family lives just a few 100 meters from the demarkation line between the ukrainian military and self reclaimed the next republic. he lost part of his hand after a rocket. he tried to throw a lot of his backyard exploded. he still shy to show his hand to strangers,

but that could soon change when his flown to moscow to receive a new prophetic replacement of his re now not to be officially disabled. and to get his driving license, when he turns 18, i am the head of the children for project. and my vision is that we take care not on the little children, but also older ones. these are not only children with expose of injuries and older . they are the majority at the moment, but also all the children. the project was created with the support of editing chief margarita simon young. costio lost his arm 4 years ago and needed several operations after a shell he found while fishing exploded, as specialist takes a cast mold for a new by jani, prophetic, and cost your nose. life is far from over. come september, he will start to school with a state of the art functional arm, but he saw him. thank you very much for my sons by only post faces. thank you to

all the people who helped us told those who didn't stay in different or trouble. a year ago, doctor's extracted, at least 40 shell fragments from the most body, after explosions rocked his village. he also lives just a few 100 meters from ukrainian military positions. on the horizon, we can see the positions in the cranium military, their armed forces. you can imagine that right now, they're looking at us through their site. we're driving straight along the dimmer cation line. local medics managed to save dreamers like from amputation and he will soon undergo an operation and rehabilitation in russia. carina just gave birth to triplets, a joyous occasion for the war torn area, and potentially huge burden for this young family. after a cold for help, we collected enough funds to buy them and all season baby carriage and the stock of diapers. the 7 years civil war in the of ukraine claimed the lives of more than 120

children, according to estimates. more than 260 kids have been wounded and many are in desperate need of aid. to give them a chance for a better life artsy, special humanitarian project. children a for has been set up to work directly with the families needing medical help from sourcing biotech prosthetics to treating those with illnesses such as cancer. the schemes already assisted more than a dozen kids from the region. the projects working with donations from thousands around the world to restore whole to the region. i hope that the boys and girls hit by the conflict can have a bright future. for me on call thrift. r t. scores of rights groups have signed an open letter to president biden, demanding the us and lethal as strikes outside of recognized battlegrounds. we were to demand an end to the unlawful program of lethal strikes outside any

recognized bustle field, including through the use of drones. this program is a centerpiece of the united states for river was successive. presidents have now claimed the unilateral power to authorize secretive extra judicial killing outside any recognize battlefield with no meaningful accountability for wrongful death and civilian lives. lost and injured. we are one of the secretary is why he got involved. first of all, i think we signed that letter because don't it acts as a tendency to petty disgraceful and very wonderfully dangerous a new, a new tool in the war. maybe one letter maybe signed by several conditions, does not have immediate impact. but we like to educate, we like to mobilize the american public opinion against is the whole global war and that this war is against american values. this body is creating,

like it is mentioned in the letter racial injustice. those we are killing the muslim black, the minorities. but this was not the solution. these are, this is not the solution to have peace in the war. nearly 500 strikes were conducted against targets outside of ghana, st on iraq and syria between 292015. the us acknowledged more than $100.00 civilian deaths while rights group say the figure is much more closer to a 1000 doctor because again says drug strikes should be made illegal at the level of the united nations donte or bast, the september 11 and the united states was enrolled in global water and data, and i think what they got instead of destruction in the muslim country, especially, and also with huge financial loss for medical money should be spending the american development infrastructure development and over in the better image of america use of grown is especially very,

very customer issue that you are the machine you are you are saving your life, your personal. but you are calling human over there in sibley and it should be declared at the level that it is illegal to use this type of rap on that these type of tools in the walk or i didn't brief. some other headlines for you from all around the world. a forest fire has killed at least 4 people in southern cypress thought who have been migrant farm workers from egypt. a 67 year old man has been detained, suspects of having started ablaze, a cypress as president to describe the situation as an unprecedented tragedy. a series of planned terrorist attacks have been prevented by authorities and southern russia. a 6 islamic state follow was, were killed in a raid when they resisted arrest. a 2 other suspects helping detained. an investigation is underway into illegal trafficking and other terror related charges
