10:00 am
[000:00:00;00] me ah, self storage here went into national as us troops equip that key african base. the telephone makes a big advantage in the north. the meantime go, president biden. isn't exactly in the mood to talk about it. but happy man. protest signed outrage in london, new york over the weekend. does julian assange mark yet another birthday behind bars? so the impact of his case may go far further. i think she did a challenge. everything. busy in west notices for, you know,
10:01 am
unity on america's independence day as the celebrations of last it over racial issues on the program. we look at how even the stars and stripes now divide the nation. ah, well, a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international in moscow. it's now we're just off to 5 pm on monday. so the us is leaving it's main military base in afghanistan, the bad graham, and feel very close to the capital capital. it's ultimately be in the heart of military operations in the country for 2 decades. now us, the coalition forces moved into the base at the end of 2001. it then turned into a huge facility, housing, $10000.00 troops, and more than $100.00 aircraft. ultimately making the strategic point of operations for washington and nato allies in the entire region. meanwhile, a dozen more districts in the country have fallen under the control of taliban
10:02 am
militants. however, the american president has so far been rather unwilling to address the issue. the taliban are fourthly, setting a deadline for all foreign troops to be gone by september and making a to seize the abandoned background base, which local authorities say is attracting looters. law poured into the information that we have. american forces left bag room air base last night. this has not been officially carbonated and reported to us, but from the ground we get this information from the situation in the area as several looters, opportunists, and others. storm background. eric to 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 us withdrawal. but taliban is coming back in force and according to reports just in june,
10:03 am
they seized more than 700 trucks and armored vehicles from afghan security forces and have also gained 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's stand to seek asylum. say they want to escape the fighting by any means necessary. the. there got it was a the, there's no one that i'm leaving in 3 to 4 days with some friends. we leave because of the lack of job who'd leave this country otherwise. ah, i where very concerned about the possible return of the taliban. therefore we went to leave the country before the situation gets worse than most of the districts of
10:04 am
school. and there is not even one district where there is no fighting. the taliban has even reach the chief of police and provincial capital. i've come here to get possible to get out of afghanistan. it is not the who's the muscular with all the problems who would want to leave and get this done in the kids. very hard to leave here. i'm going to go to belgium. ah, 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 mass 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
10:05 am
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 more and more than happy to help provide anytime for military or me, i'm not going to say 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 he just left. and the question on everyone's mind right now is, what the hell was it all for?
10:06 am
we spoke with john list on the political analysts or robot inlet cash. she says the pentagon withdraw actually symbolizes the entire 20 year campaign. seeing the massive death and destruction brought on afghanistan and the fact that the illicit drug trade expanded with u. s. presence there. and of course the taliban has been able to expand with us present there all these years. americans not really knowing what the war is, even about the former president of africa. 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 is done. we saw under the bomber administration, was joe biden,
10:07 am
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 an exclusive interview, a spokesperson for the taliban political office. and kathy told us that was based on a simple miscalculation 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. and lemme country like af canister, and now the american president has announced 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 the gene not as a representative of the people,
10:08 am
but us with just one of the guns sides. we cannot recognize the regime which has appeared along with the occupants, which is completely corrupted. serbian protests and outrage as julian assange marks yet another birthday behind bars. hundreds of his supporters gathered in london in new york to celebrate his 50th birthday over the weekend and demand his release. washington is still seeking his extradition where if found guilty, science could be sentenced up to a 175 years. now, a scientist charged with conspiracy to the government computers and espionage. he got a big international attention when a wiki least published classified military documents, allegedly exposing war crimes and iraq and afghanistan. over the past decade, a sanchez spent 7 years in the ecuador and embassy in london and 2 years and a british maximum security prison. the latest twist in the case comes when a key witness against the report li,
10:09 am
admitted to giving false testimony. when we discussed the situation with a philosopher slab, boy jack, who says the assange case has exposed how certain countries are trying to maintain the illusion of freedom, a socialist acumen. it's not just what people usually see, disclose some secret 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 x is much more resigned because it doesn't police in being on our limits. our freedom, you still as you do after the 7 inch and you are already manipulated and under control and the wish to
10:10 am
maintain the idea of freedom. there is no data. the rest is lost and when somebody this falls, experience of freed on when somebody demos state all is so very important between companies to reach control and relate us google and so on. and state secrets agencies like in this say and so on. i think we started getting this challenge to everything that the stalls. busy in western notions of freedom, many associate the 4th of july with parade's parties and fireworks as the u. s. celebrates the both of a nation, but this year, the whole day meant to unite the country is ultimately splitting it upon a democratic congresswoman. cory bush posted that the whole day is about, well american freedom, but only for whites. in fact,
10:11 am
that the country has stolen land on black people still are not free. well, you can imagine the tree provoked a whole bunch of mixed reactions or some denouncing her view of the national holiday. republicans pointed out the bush herself, was black, and went from being a nurse to then serving in the house of representatives. and the claim to a message had dishonored every black person who ever fought for the nation and with race now even taught in schools and causing division along with a symbols at the very heart of the republic. what garcia now looks at what american identity really means today. what makes it america is it being 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
10:12 am
back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen in a deeply divided nation. well, that rise about division, which the media of course frightened inflamed in the name of ad revenue, but it's everywhere. people see everything differently. everyone has an opinion that they'd rather that rather die than give up. everything is a battle ground, race, religion, booting 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 tattered, 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 look like this? and just like that out of a sheet, as soon you can see it a little way down the road protests and counter protests about changing the flag
10:13 am
rods and shootings and enmity. because one person's idea is a bob unable to another, founded on an idea. we hold these truths to be self evident. but 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, high school, and the idea that seems to have expired. what did 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 talk about critical race theory, which is pretty much going to be teaching to how to hate each other. how to, how we treat people based on who they are and what are you in tomorrow?
10:14 am
this is, this is how children think right in critical race. nearing ones who in one couldn't only wonder how the land they go to go off the asian americans next. and then latino is paps, maybe a few decades down the line and 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 not 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. hundreds of children have been wounded in 7 years of war in easton, ukraine often by ordinance fire near their homes or landing just outside their windows, launched a children of war project to get help to those and need ortiz, roman country, has details from the same such a family lives just
10:15 am
a few 100 meters from the dimmer occasional line between the ukrainian military and self reclaimed the next crew public. he lost part of his hand after a rocket. he tried to throw a lot of heat. backyard exploded. he's still shy to show his hand to strangers, but that could soon change when he's flown to moscow to receive a new percentage replacement, his re now not to be officially disabled and to get his driving license. when he turns 18. during the head of the children of war project and my, 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 are 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. costa 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,
10:16 am
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 showed 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 indifferent to a trouble. a year ago, doctor's extracted, at least 40 shell fragments from demon body after explosion rocked his village. he also lives just a few 100 meters from ukrainian military positions. on the horizon, we can see the positions of 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 demon lake from amputation, and he will soon undergo and operation and rehabilitation in russia. carina just gave birth to triplets, a joyous occasion for the war or an area, and a potentially huge burden for this young family. after a call for help,
10:17 am
we collected enough funds to buy them and all season baby carriage and the stock of diapers. the 7 years civil war in the east 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 bionic 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 cost for if you don't ask the high chord for england. and wales has rejected a challenge by
10:18 am
a former inmate who claims she was sexually assaulted by a transgender prisoner and rule. but trans women, sex offenders can be imprisoned in female jails. the claimant expressed fears the ruling could lead to more victim by bringing this challenge, i did not seek to prevent trans women in prison from living in dignity or to exclude all trans women from women's prisons. however, i feel that trans women who have a history of violence and sexual assassin against women should not be in a situation where they can put o a safety at risk. the claimant says she was sexually assaulted in prison by a transgender woman who had a certificate affirming that agenda change had been officially recognized. the alleged assailant is said to have previous convictions for attempted rape, although this incident has not been officially confirmed that have been several other registered cases. the judge, one know it's almost a 100 sexist old cases,
10:19 am
were recorded in female prisons in england and wales from 2016 to 20. 197. we're actually perpetrated by transgender women who didn't have a gender recognition certificate as of march 2019. they were $34.00 transgender women without certificate and female jails in england and wales. in his ruling, the judge accepted the female inmates fear of attack. i readily accept the proposition that some and perhaps many women prisoners may suffer fear and acute anxiety if required to share present accommodation and facilities with a transgender woman who has male genitalia. individual decisions may be susceptible to challenge, but that does not render the policies unlawful. so we got the reaction to the issue from various gusts, assaults in prison, sexual assaults in prisons, are a big problem. women, a woman man on man, women, men, jones didn't do women own women. it is
10:20 am
a big problem in prisons anyway. so the number of transgender people is actually very, very small. they have a disproportionate amount of publicity, but the numbers are very, very small. knowing that half of all trumps gender, people in custody, have sexual and violent assaults in their history. then the prison service is required to go through the appropriate risk assessment. i think what happened in, if taking the case was those risk assessments failed. assault upon transgender prisoners is also very high level. so generally violence and sexual assaults in prisons is really the headline story here. broadly, there are 2 policies that are followed. one depends on whether or not you are legally classed as of the gender you identify with. so in other words, have you got gender recognition certificate?
10:21 am
if you have the starting point that you would be allocated to the female state because the law considers you a woman, if you don't, there is done a comprehensive risk assessment. if you've got on speak hypothetically here, a male sex offender convicted the raping, for example, women in those circumstances. i would argue it would be entirely inappropriate to put that person in the general population in the women, the state and the policy of the prison service. and administrative justice foresee star, what the court did make clear is that there is scope for challenge and individual cases. if the particular risk level was an individual prison that is such that it's not appropriate that somebody should be held. for example, in the email of state, when that can inappropriate circumstances be challenged. but it's
10:22 am
a case by case a great risk to the environment. that's the warning from greenpeace on the weekend, under water gas pipelines that lit up the gulf of mexico. and the incident took place less and less than 200 meters from a drilling platform and small t, a quote, see of fire for 5 hours before being put out. the company responsible is reported more than $100000000000.00 in debt and failing to maintain its facilities. however, the regulator insists everything's fine. the mexican energy environment and safety agency follows up on the event that occurred in the campaign she prob, related to a gas line. the incident did not generate any spill or the footage of the situation there in the gulf has res, painful memories of a catastrophe? 11 years ago, that was of course, the deep water horizon gas leak dispute more than 200000000 gallons of oil into the gulf of mexico, covering thousands of kilometers with crewed from louisiana to florida. for 40 the
10:23 am
worst fill in history, the wildlife is off to kill some 800000 but alone. well, let's discuss this. notice across live to john list on a very mental campaign of all of a ticket. joining us your nazi international today. thanks for coming on the program during what is such an awful story here, greenpeace? already slamming the gasoline. can you tell us how bad can this get? because it's not just that the sea or the people living along the beach is the maritime community? is the wild life as well, but what are your expectations here on the road it should received by this particular incident is that we had this really shocking and dramatic footage of this far. this is fun in the go for the next and it looked absolutely scary and appalling. the most surprising thing about it is that it seems to be an environmental term is almost entirely home. so i'm not saying
10:24 am
that we weren't find, you know, the schools already did see, but you know, that will be but it seems to be in the song she knew homeless. the fog was extinguished within about 5 hours as it appears with the league from somewhere among the 200 also kilometers of underwater pipelines. the think this gas filled up their agency will be in this particular organ. gasket vows were used. there was a 12 inch pipe that the release was coming from the supply oil and gas in into that pipe stopped, the fire went out with the assistance of nitrogen. and so the end of it, i think a lot of people distinctly people in amex and then the next and governors are breathing a deep sigh of relief thinking. how did we get away with that?
10:25 am
you know, you're saying sorry to jump in. you're saying basically, if you were to compare this, for example, to do the deep water horizon catastrophe of 2010. that was you're saying this pales in comparison. this is nothing as severe as what we've saw 11 years ago. it absolutely pales in comparison in terms of the environmental impacts. the league was closed off completely within 5 hours and didn't touch and environmental terms. if you're going to have a leak is nice, then this appears in the league nice and natural gas. it is actually much better in a way that it does catch fire, then the g. g is simply release students to the atmosphere because me thing is a very potent greenhouse gas over your time drives and this a few times more powerful than condo it. so in terms of climate change is actually much better. so it's a, it's addressing, it's a good thing as you say, that some of the chemicals have been allowed to burn off in this situation. unlike the deep water horizon of 2010,
10:26 am
when there was approximately 200000000 gallons of oil, this spread along the beaches and long along the coastline. but the company in question here, the quote, the company in question of today's latest the i a fire. as you called it, the company is reportedly a $100000000000.00 in that. and so the idea pops up that perhaps the company is having a tough time maintaining the infrastructure over to operations that i mean on the annual checkup. so i suppose you will checkups to make sure that your rig or your drilling platform is good to go. it's in good condition, and it's not a risk to the environment. well, certainly new company and no oil and gas company is going to want this kind of instant taking place. but i think that it may be, it shows that actually the infrastructure in this case was working quite well because they just managed to cut it off within such a short time. and if you look at the deep water horizon, what happened there is that you had this big pope coming up directly from the
10:27 am
o fi. and it was that point. it was the lining, the grossing in that point that gave way. and so there was no follow that they could shuttle from once it's still leaking. it was, it went on, i can't remember how long for, but i seem to remember it went on for weeks or months before they were able to block. but in this case, it was done within 5 hours and this is actually one is 10, next is new oil facility is responsible for 40 percent of the companies in in time. so this is actually a significant significant facility. as you say, it's quite a new facility out there with this company, although this company has apparently a $100000000000.00 in that i understand. there are 1000, at least 1862 platforms in the gulf of mexico g. think this could serve as any type of wake up call for the so many other platforms out there that they need to check their infrastructure, check all the pipes and make sure that everyone is good to go. the everyone's on
10:28 am
the same page when it comes to environmental responsibility and performing their job in a responsible manner. well, certainly guess, i mean that, that is not something i could possibly disagree with, but what i actually think above all is that is this, it, this is perhaps more of a symbol of the environmental destruction caused by oil and the fossil fuel industry, rather than a natural example of anything terribly damaging, taking place. and i think if you want to look at the impacts of oil and gas production and see what it really means, you know, you look at the, the high temperatures in siberia look at the absolute, the cooling heat effect. in northwest canada, on the pacific cbl, you know, where we are seeing temperatures in what is meant to be a temper. it's
10:29 am
a cold 10 prison of approaching 50 degrees centigrade and, and many people who died in the us and i guess, i guess you're saying, i guess you're saying oliver, i guess you're saying that there's a, essentially a silver lining to what's happening in the gulf of mexico, but it's i, if i you say it is not nearly as bad as part episodes have been in recent history, and actually we should try and try and be grateful. the chemicals here, the toxins are being burned off and the impact is not that big on the environment, all of a tickle. i wish i'm sure i wish i could. i'm just out of time with the tickle, but thank you so much for joining us, journalist and environmental campaign oliver tickle. thank you for your time. thank you. i thank you for joining us. are an asi international. that's all the time we have for now, but we are back soon with all the
