the the headlines are not emotional us. president joe biden admitted that taliban is stronger than it's been in 20 years, but insists that doesn't mean i've got don will fall to middle of the claims. america's mission in the country has been a competition. it's time to go, piracy refusing to reveal to algeria the locations of radioactive waste dumps 6 decades on from colonial frogs, conducting nuclear test, and use host and talk a call and claims. the n. s. a spied on the communications and leaking private emails to journalists, alleging that it's all because he tries to get an interview with a russian president. ah, or just off the midnight here at moscow course,

this is our international welcome to your new mission accomplished. that's the u. s president's verdict on america's longest as a war, as it prepares to pull his last troops out of afghanistan. we achieved those objectives. that's why we, when we did not go to afghanistan to nation bill. and it's the right and the responsibility of afghan people alone to decide their future and how they want to run their country. joe biden also admitted that the taliban military might, without a 20 year peak, adding though that it wasn't inevitable, the group would take over the cobble. one of the president's remarks come off a sweeping territorial gains by the minute actors. this is one of the numerous hot front lines between taliban fighters and forces. the army is on the back foot with over a 1000 soldiers recently,

fleeing right over the border to the latest estimate is now that the taliban controls are good for united nations weapons inspector. scott ritter believes the u . s. mission in the country was far from success. if all are, all we want to do is kill bin laden and mail it out. we could have done all of that much sooner without undertaking that, which we did undertake biden, can say otherwise, but the reality is we were involved in nation building. we did build a nation in afghanistan, a failed nation, and now we're abandoning it. you know, i will be the last person to argue in favor of a continued american military presence. but we need to be honest with the people with their neighbors, the regional neighbors and the world. what we did for the last 20 years was fail. we lost and now we should be looking to the international community, especially afghan stands,

regional neighbors offer assistance in helping come up with a solution by pretending that we're a mission accomplished. that we, we, we did what we wanted to do, and now it's on the ask and people to, to, to fix this message. that's just disingenuous. yes. so french nuclear testing, and i'll jerry, as part of the sahara desert, has left a lasting impact on locals. and of course, the environment, 6 decades on and the radioactive off the mouth still remains. with algeria denouncing paris over its refusal to show whether nuclear waste is buried. i hurry for france since this morning. it's stronger and proud. ah

fuck in the 1960s france carried out 17 nuclear tests in a horror. but according to our gerry, it made no effort to clean up the side store even pay compensation to the victims who suffered from radiation. ortiz charlotte, do buskie fall, this report from powers? your cheery and government is stepping up the fight. it has accused france of refusing to handle the important information regarding the sites. france refuses to hand over top a graphical maps to determine the burial sites of the polluting, a radioactive or chemical waste, which have still not been discovered. the radiation victims have already died due to unknown medical conditions and causes, but of those 2 still survive just a single algerian has been compensated differential therapies should at least recognize these crimes then move on to compensation. jerry,

people are still counting the victims of radiation and the nuclear tests. many children, still born with congenital, deforms, is due to the variation. so it makes sense that all these victims deserve compensation hospitals to treat the kansas caused by radiation should be built at the very least. another crime still effects in these people is the denial of these events, the downplaying and suppression of them. at that time, france submitted a false report, the un, which said that the area where the test would be carried out was uninhabited, deserted, and isolated. in reality, it was an area inhabited by people. there will be cultural areas with a way these palm trees and various animals. this is the 1st lie. and they also said that these would test another french themselves. amid that these, when you click slogans not test and from these explosions, the radiation was not limited to the algebra. deserts was spread to the african jungle and even europe. the current french president has off for a commission of memories and of truth to be established to address the countries

colonial passed in the g area. but it's really, it will focus on the torture, the disappearance, and the hundreds of thousands of deaths that occurred during the war for independence. and not on those nuclear test. algeria was the only place that france carried out such deadly testing. an independent investigation recently criticized fall and damage in hiding the devastating impacts of the nuclear explosions that it carried out the majority of which were in french hall anesha. it said in that report, the radiation levels were up to 10 times higher than those that had been estimated by the countries own atomic energy commission. back in 2016. you can't erase 60 years of state propaganda, denial, intimidation, contempt,

an arrogance with a wave of the hand. that pressure led to talk at the start of july to assess the impact that those detonations had. the strong remains completely firm that there was no cover up. so far that only branch has been extended to algeria, that is likely to great with the fall out of those nuclear tests still polluting relations between l. g 's and paris. charlotte ski ot see in paris. meanwhile, a woman who claims her life was severely affected by a similar nuclear test in french polynesia says franz should pay for the damages done 2 generations of locals. my grandparents died of cancer, my mother's sister had cancer. at the age of $27.00, i was diagnosed with chronic leukemia, which is radiation and d. disease that haiti and politicians are very nice. so for us decided to conduct

tests and follow neesha because the worker did not see anything wrong with them. the exercises ended in 1997, but they left enormous damage. there is a lot of misinformation they're trying to solve in size, many locals and i'll talk about their diseases. today. my symptoms i wrote in my life, i raised the issue of the un at the international level. we have thousands of people in the eighty's do i talk about the radioactive impact on the population? when you nothing, and today our surroundings are contaminated and damaged. i hope it's for us, we'll pay off all the factors polynesians and be punished by an international court . because now we're a small country taking on big france for news hose to tucker. carlson claims the n s a spied on him and even leaked his private e mails to journalists. in the mails he reported discussed arrangements for an interview with vladimir putin as asked. he's caleb martin now investigates. now according to axis, els tucker carlson was communicating with 2 intermediaries trying to set up an

interview with russian president vladimir putin shortly before. busy he accused the national security agency the last day of the united states of spying on him. now tucker carlson has confirmed his report on wednesday. he spoke up confirming it and went further saying that the n s a had actually leaked emails in the hopes of discrediting him. here's what the fox news host had to say. why would they do that? well, the point of course was to paint me as a disloyal american. a russian operative then called that before a student of the kremlin a traitor doing the bidding of a foreign adversary. now gets even more interesting because we had a situation where the n s a actually responded to tucker carlson. tucker carlson has never been an intelligence target of the agency and the new se has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air. we target foreign powers to generate insights on foreign activities that could harm the united states

. with the limited exceptions, and if they may not target a us citizen without a court order that explicitly authorizes the targeting. what's interesting to note is that it's not clear who the to in immediate aries were, but if they were foreign, national, not us citizens, then the n. s a. and they would not have had to get special permission in order to spy on their communications. according to their procedures. now at this point we've got long standing critics of the n. s. a speaking up, we've gotten glen greenwald, shining in and giving his perspective. here's what he had to say. everyone should want to see the evidence about whether an essay, spite on conference e mails and leaked them. that's how we'll know for sure whether it happened. but you have to be staggeringly naive or willfully ignorant to think n s a. ca haven't always done exactly this and still do. now, there are a number of journalists and news anchors in the united states who have interviewed russian president vladimir putin. so the question is,

why was tucker carlson single doubt and subject to surveillance? at this point, the n s. a reputation as a result of the edward snowden revelations and many other things that had been brought to light is certainly once again in question. now it seems tucker carlson is taking them to taska and many people who had meyer or watch tucker carlson are asking themselves questions about the new surveillance culture in america. the host of anti america is on contact program. chris hedges says it remains to be seen whether carlson's claims are true, though they do seem to fit neatly into a rather familiar pattern. i mean, i would begin by saying the n s a is deny the claim, but it's pretty clear from the climate that especially with a democratic administration, russia has been demonized. although china is a close 2nd for all sorts of internal problems within the united states. we have

had now going all the way back to the director of national intelligence report in 2017. this ridiculous claim that left wing uneven right wing critics. of us capitalism, imperialism the political system are agents of a foreign power that has become the knee jerk response. and so what you're seeing is if it's true, what tucker carlson says, well, we certainly know it's true that he's reached out for an interview with the president of russia. but if it's true that the n s a essentially use that attempt at a very legitimate and i would argue important journalistic activity to a brand him and agent of a foreign power. what you're seeing is a kind of ratcheting up of this attempt to use russia as an excuse or scape goat to mask the unrest and internal problems that the binding ministration,

quite frankly, is not addressing in any serious way. a former police officer could become a new york city's next mayor after he won the democratic nomination. he was picked despite a year of b. l. m. protests calling of course to defend the police. at the same time, the crime is soaring with new york state governor cuomo declaring a gun violence disaster emergency. now the new may oral candidate is eric adams. he's a 22 year police veteran, currently serving as the brooklyn bar, a president at the forefront of his platform as a commitment to combating gun violence. and he supports police reform, but he's against the funding. the police. if black lives really matter, it can only be against police abuse and has to be against the violence that's ripping apart our communities. people want to feel safe. right now. they don't feel safe or crime is happening all around them. shootings are up, robberies are up, homelessness is up. they see in the subway. they don't feel safe nor subways. they

see it out in the streets, in their homes, in the neighborhoods, and they want to feel safe. so this gentleman ran on a platform of public safety and making people feel safe in their resume with them. and that's it. you know, the, to find the police movement has been a large failure. demonizing and attacking cops has been a failure and people are ready for change and hopefully this is the catalyst of some sort of change. it's not just new york appalling shows or concerns about crime or a 4 year high nationwide. the homicide rates climbing across the us. i chicago's a mayor off the president for help recently, after the city sorts bloodiest weekend on july 4th with over a 100 people shot a policeman, z call him says action is badly needed. the bias is right in people's faces. you can put all the crime statistics out there, say your crime is going down. you can have all the feel good moments, but people know what they see. they know they here. and you can deny that. so

people definitely want to change, they want some sort of action to be taken. they want to feel safe. that's what's all about public safety. now you're not going to convince someone that just finished watching someone get robbed or know about shooting is going on in the neighborhood that they're safe. they want something done more. so the come here on the program on our see, it's a grim pandemic milestone for 1000000 coping. death is reportedly breached the world health organization admits vaccines are losing the race against new strength that story and a few more just the better survival guide is going to start at the federal reserve. so there are, you don't get a back. oh, no,

refrigeration came. well, look at the rest, the 7 years. so what type of report? the people with diabetes to number raises, whether it's not adequately managed or that they have some immune problem. then their risk of infections and something like the coven 19 pandemic, was very bad news. the people diabetes, and we considered as one of the very high risk situations in terms of people being infected, ah ah, ah

ah, could i be with us today? a judge at the high court in london has suspended for 9 months. all law suits filed by grunfeld towers of i was on the relatives of those who perished in the tragedy and he's encouraging all parties to reach a settlement out of court instead of going to trial. back in 2017 and the recently refurbished apartment block was consumed by new phones which left 72 people dead. nobel shook his mother, sister, brother in law and 3 nieces, all died. the sun is not the last will priceless. they won't make any difference whatsoever to my life or anything because they were more valuable in the families and they will never ever be replace council ability. and that's the most important for me more than anything you know to define that the

blame was. busy to be for them to be accountable for. that's like just stuck on the wrist. i don't have much faith in this is all because it's very out. date. people have go away. i believe really do believe we've got away with mother. but nevertheless, to keep fighting to suit the justice, the reason behind the rapid spread of the fight was believed to be the exterior, cladding, and thousands of other buildings nationwide is still covered in the very same material. the me ah

ah no bill issue again hopes that regulations will be changed as a result of a tragedy but says there's no guarantee. the lol is a bit of day. i hope they can look at prosecutor and when prosecution is due and the sooner the better to even have the laws change. so people don't have to go through all we have to go for the still so much going on is there is legislation regulations all out day and need to be updated. the law is soft. busy where, you know, it's like

a system for themselves where they protect the culprits. these high people in the, in the pages, they're very protected by the law. and then the, so be all changed and updated 20 plus down here in moscow. olympic host city. tokyo has band spectators from attending this summer's games and comes off the pounds. capital declared a state of emergency over its spiraling covert issues. on wednesday, it posted almost a 1000 new infections and the elliptic opening ceremony a schedule for july 23rd. and it has been widespread opposition to the games in japan, with calls for them to be either postponed or entirely canceled or the count for the russian and chinese vaccines. that's the warning from frances, in europe, minister who's concerned e. u. member states might consider green lighting injections that don't have the

blocks approval, as words come as the delta variant is spreading across the world, forcing governments to implement strict measures on a ramp up the vaccination programs. you fully vixon? it's important the vaccines which allow entry to our territory limited to the for, we're sure about and certain countries which are looking to recognize vaccines like the russian and chinese ones. we're saying no, are they are european medicines agency has so far approved for vaccines. pfizer medina, astrazeneca, and johnson and johnson crushers sputnik v short is among those currently under review that that process has gone on for 4 months already. for the e u. m. basset, to russia. claim recently the delay is nothing political. moscow seems to remain optimistic. i know it's clear that there may be different positions if it's clear that so far the european agency has not recognized us but next job. but we assure that to call the prejudices beside those of a political artificial lot in nature. and eventually we will succeed,

and the russian vaccines will be recognized. disco, her marcelo, for other than noali, a founder and chairman over swedish professors. and doctors for human rights says the m a is dragging its feet over sputnik. these authorization that is doing so for political reasons is neither logical nor if you want to go to the vert considering the sectors of the relation of not just being in. when i said, if we compare is a safety feature of axis, there is no clinical use. vacation blog is for me. those negotiations by the french minister. there are the not only to day, but it clearly tried to ignore or even discuss the russians of the masses. from the perspective of the western powers, but they are not primarily an issue of public health or of human rights for all 4

people thrive to stay healthy. it is a purely competitive enterprise. it is not a corporation and there were a few should. it should have been established between scientists why to find solutions. the pandemic marks are a milestone with full 1000000 people reported now having died from covert. and as the delta strain becomes a dominant variant, the world health organization has sent a warning to countries hoarding vaccines. boxing nationalism where a handful of nations have taken the lion's share is morally indefensible. and an effective publican strategy against a respiratory virus that meet 18 quickly and becoming increasingly effective at moving from human to human violence are currently winning the race against bucks ins. because of inequitable vaccine production and distribution. according to the

world health organization, the delta strain will dominate other variance globally in a few months. it was 1st attacked in india and october last year, and as since spread worldwide. now, dozens of countries are implementing new restrictions on trouble bands to stop the spread. we spoke to dr. jordan grover and a and e consultant about the dangers of mutations is by far the most common experience now to contain it is next to impossible. they will bring you a patient. we don't know where they will come from. they could come from any part of the world. so far, all the mutations are still sensitive to vaccine. at least look at the extent, but you know, you never know you might get the mutation which escapes the current. unless everyone is vaccinated, you're able to control the spread of the widest. why? no one is actually safe. i suspect good, good,

big many years for us to get used to it, find the best vaccinations. prevention strategies this pandemic. we keep spreading to be able to pick the scenes to all humanity. joe biden has signed a bill that would hand additional financial support to washington's whistleblower program. and the move is aimed at improving the protection of those who report different types of violations. however, as practice shows and to meet you, paul takes us through. many of those people are in fact punished instead of being supported. whistleblowers, like julian assigned, edward snowden and others have long been a thorn in the side of washington. and it seems that no matter what washington does, it just can seem to once in for all this scourge, all these pesky leakers from spilling the beans on the government's darkest secrets . when media alpha pro public dropped this bombshell week revealing how

billionaires such as they those mosque, bloomberg sorrows have gone years without paying any federal income tax. what do you think the reaction was? well from the public it was an obvious was to hell. but from the government in investigation, and that's the way this story goes every single time from obama to tromp. and now biden, public officials don't want to address any of the leaks issues, you know, as for public demand. but were there other find those responsible who dared to unveil the government's dark secrets? the united states do something to stop mister assange. we're looking at that right now. you should be treated as an enemy combatant wiki. lee should be closed down permanently indecisively, disguise a trade or a treasonous. and he is broken. every law the united states, the guy ought to be. i'm not for the death penalty. so if i'm not for the defense, i want to do it illegally. shoot the son of a guys. these things are meant to be

a secret for a reason. it's so that the government doesn't have to deal with it and can continue doing whatever it wants without people pestering it with nonsense like who this is unfair. this is on ethical and blah blah blah. of course though, over the years, the government has tried to maintain a facade of being on their side and being supportive of the bravery of truth seekers. it is incumbent on all of us to counter these threats to a free and independent media, including physical risk and arbitrary detention. we celebrate the courage of truth tellers who refused to be intimidated often at great personal risk. but that's just a, it's all a facade. things like the 2012 whistleblower protection act have essentially proven to be useless. whistleblowers continue to face the threat of internal war, italy ation, and possible prosecution for leaking any or reporting any wrong doing. take natalie edwards,

for example. she was an official at the us treasury department. she noticed some suspicious activity reports pointed out that wall street giant, like j. p. morgan chase and hsbc, among others have might have been complicit in money laundering. so she took it to the official whistleblower channels and guess what happened next? absolutely nothing, but some people do hope that biden might be able to break this trend. why do we work with congress to strengthen our whistleblower laws? so there's any federal employee who learns of an improper attempt to influence a department of justice investigation or prosecution knows how to report it and receives full protection against retaliation by anyone including the president. but so far, these have only been words, but at the end of the day, it's not even really just up to biden. to fix this, the people leading these investigations and persecuting these pesky truth tellers are all over the executive branch. and biden's administration is literally packed

with people who were there at the forefront of the crack, down on whistleblowers during the obama days. and after all, why should any of these officials allow whistleblowers to go public? it's their jobs on the line. and what we can tell from all these leaks, these people are not exactly righteous do gooders. there are some of the top stories for this, our headline for moscow on our national. thank you for sharing your time with us here. before we get you with a new program at the top of the hour coming up next is the kaiser report the ah, the ah
