[000:00:00;00] the headlines are what our team us president joe biden admitted. taliban is stronger than it's been in 20 years. and that doesn't mean afghanistan for the militant but the claims america mission in the country has been accomplished. and it's time to go home. paris is refusing to reveal to algeria the locations of radioactive waste dumps 6 decades on from colonial frog conducting nuclear you toast, tucker, carlson claims the n. s a spied on his communications and leaked private emails to journalists, alleging that is all because he tried to get an interview with a russian president.

ah, or i'd run the top stories for this our life from moscow. this is the international, a very warm welcome to you. so mission accomplished, that's the u. s. president's verdicts on america's longest f. a war as it ever passed to pull out the last troops from us gun. this done. we achieved those objectives. that's why we, when we did not go to afghanistan to nation bill and is the right and the responsibility of the afghan people alone to decide their future and how they want to run their country. joe biden also admitted that the taliban military might was at a 20 year peak, adding though that it wasn't inevitable, the group would take over cobble. the president's remarks come off the sweeping territorial gains by the militant factors and $911.00.

this is one of the numerous hot front lines between taliban fighters and afghan forces. the army is on the back foot with over a 1000 soldiers recently, fleeing right over the border to tajikistan. the latest estimate is that the taliban now controlled a 3rd of us on this. if all are, all we want to do is kill been lot. and in the and i laid 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 abandoned mean 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 last and now we should be looking to the international community,

especially afghan stance regional neighbors offer assistance in helping come up with a solution by pretending that we're a mission accomplished. that we, we did what we wanted to do, and now it's on the ask and people to, to fix this mess. that's just disingenuous. lot years off, a french nuclear testing. algeria, as part of the sahara desert, has left a lasting impact on locals on the environment. 6 decades on and the radioactive off them off still remains. with algeria denouncing paris over its refusal to show where nuclear waste is buried. ah, harry of france,

since this morning it's stronger and proud. ah, back in the night in sixty's, france carried out 17 nuclear test in us a horror. but according to our area, it made no effort to clean up the site. so pay compensation to the victims who suffered from radiation. charlotte dubious sky, fall this report from paris. your theory and government is stepping up the fight. it has accused frances refusing to handle the important information regarding the sites from 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 to still survive just a single algerian has been compensated. the french authorities 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. now 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 with an inhabited, deserted, an isolated in reality. it was an area inhabited by people that were re coastal areas with a waste, these palm trees. and various animals, this is the 1st lie and they also said that these with another french themselves, amid that these, when you click solutions, not test and from these explosions, the radiation was not limited to the algebra and deserts was spread to the african jungle. and even europe, the current french president has asked for

a commission of memories and of truth to be established to address the country's colonial past in our 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 strongest 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, one woman who claims that life was severely affected by similar nuclear tests 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, i was diagnosed with chronic leukemia, which is

a radiation indeed disease that haiti and politicians are very nice. so for us decided to conduct tests in polynesia because the local did not see anything wrong with them. the exercises ended in 1997, but there was enormous damage. there is a lot of misinformation they are 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 sick 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 this ross will pay off all the factors polynesians and be punished by an international court. because now we're a small country taking on big france. fox news host tucker calls and claims the n. s a spied on him and even leaked his private e mails to journalists in the mails he reportedly discussed arrangements for an interview with a russian president vladimir putin. ortiz kellum often has details. now according to axial z,

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 this report on wednesday. he spoke up confirming it and went further saying that the essay 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 it 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 nessie 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 a 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 got len 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 spied on carson's e mails and leave 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 is 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. let's get back to our top story for you here. when you international the us president joe biden says america's mission, and i'm gonna stop is complete. as the remaining us troops are about to be withdrawn from the country. let's discuss this further now. jesse chad with a us veteran who's certain ask on is, are joining us here on the program. good to see you today. thanks for joining us for an international. joe biden is saying that america is a chief objective and i've got to start was quite what he said that he said he was quote, to, to bring oh,

some i've been logged into the gates of hell will been lived and died roughly a decade ago. tell us this, jesse, why is it taken so long to finally start to really officially withdrawal and get out of afghanistan? you know, i think it was driven by a lot of corporate interests. you know, i'm surprised that they, they aren't keeping it going, you know, to generate, you know, billions of dollars of revenue from it. i'm surprised that there, there, there are pulling out actually, what, jesse, what about the idea us d as person joe biden. he was saying that nation building was never actually a true part of the plan and i've gotten this done. why do you think washington got so deeply involved in the country's political and social processes than do you think american imperialism? as simple as that you say? do you think you think it was always just about terrorism? the reason why us troops on british,

french and other nato allies were enough kindness on what was it purely about terrorism or whether any other objectives? i think it was capitalist agenda. and how would you explain a capitalist agenda, jesse? yes, exploiting. local natural resources, local people, you know, for profit. i had a, i had a gentleman on earlier, a former veteran, and i asked him whether any economic interests in staying and i've got to start with mineral wealth and he told me, no, no, no, no, no. this was about terrorism and about securing a geo political strategic point in the globe. what's your thought on that, jesse? i don't know. i don't know if i buy that completely. what about, what about your benefits now and all the veterans who are returning from afghanistan, everyone's being fully taken care of. everything seems to be okay. at this point. you know, you're a mixed reviews on that. i personally, i've had mostly good experience. it's not a perfect system. there's, you know,

things have changed drastically from the time that i got out until now. so, you know, i can't completely answer that. but, you know, most of the veterans help other veterans get through the va system. good. now, when, when joe biden said recently that the taliban is now what it strongest militarily in 20 years, adding that he didn't think that they would take over the country. do you share biden's optimism that i don't think a guy with as many drap deferrals as him gets to make decisions like that? you think perhaps it's a bit confused about the situation that i've got to stop or the people who are around him or telling him what he wants to hear. he didn't serve. i don't think he has any idea what he's talking about. well, you did so, so, so, so what was it? what? well, 1st of all, when did you return to america from afghanistan, how long did you serve enough canister on jesse? 89 days in 2002 and part of 2003. and what were your men experience? is there enough canister on? i was an in for treatment in the 2nd airborne division. we did

a lot of combat patrols, you know. busy weapons cache, grounding it up and you know, disposing of ordinance. we didn't interact too much with the locals, but i didn't get the sense that we were, you know, anyone is glad for us to be there. what about when biden says that the taliban has reached its highest military might in 20 years, what could you see when you were there? and i've got this, don, could you see that the taliban we're going to be moving towards a resurgence even when you were there. well i think that any indigenous group like that would as soon as their an authoritarian force is gone, they're going to enter. it seems like basic math to me, you know. now some, some analysts have been saying, i see that the concern is as america does finally pull out and there's going to be a vacuum there. the taliban or other interests could try and get a strong foothold there. we just had a story, jesse that a 1000 afghan soldiers on the fire from taliban fighters fled over the border to touch cust on. so my question would be,

where does russia stand and all of this with potential security issues along its southern border? they'll take a, they'll take an interest in it. i'm sure of that. note that northern border that you speak of up there. it's, you know, there's a lot of wild country up there. so it's a little wild country. debra putin, his voice concerned about the security situation along the board is deteriorating. it's something that moscow shouldn't, should be, should be concerned about you. thing. i think they will be whether i say that they are or not. you know, it doesn't really matter. and when do you think jesse, with, with the vast majority, if not nearly all american troops on european troops leaving afghan assigned, it will still be a lot of dollars and euro's going to the government. do you think can cobble i think that'll probably happen. i mean, it would make that would make sense and how would you describe the government in couple a disarray, disarray. i mean,

do you think there's any level of corruption in the government there? probably, i mean, likelihood is probably all right, just you know, what about what about the next 2 to 3 years? what do you see the immediate future for afghan? asked on looking like i think it'll get worse before it gets better. how do you think it's going to get was they'll probably be more violence, more violence as a talent continues to research. alrighty. jesse chadwick or a u. s. veteran who served in afghanistan, joining us live here on the international. really appreciate your time. thanks for your comments. thank you. thank you. i still have you here on the program on our t is the pandemic milestone of 4000000. covert depth is reportedly reached the world health organization admits vaccines are losing the race against new variance stories coming away after the break.

i the ah me the planet's egg trip it's there we found 25 years ago. took only 4 days to go around the stars, which means to plant is very close. so that was really the big surprise. and we have learned since then. that own system is maybe one among

many. that's not the archetype. that's not the stand out way to our planet. another shot because everybody was expecting the planet to look all the same. ah, 20 pos down here in moscow. a former police officer, it could become new york city's next mayor. after he won the democratic nomination . he was picked despite a year of b 11 protests calling to defend the police. the same time 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 up president at the forefront of his platform as a commitment to combating gun violence. he supports police reform, but it'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 sitting apart our communities. people want to feel safe. right now they don't feel safe. 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 in some ways. 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. not just new york polling shows or concerns about crime or a 4 year highs across the country with a homicide rate clerk climbing across america. chicago's man has off the white house for help of the city sorts bloodiest july, 4th weekend with over a 100 people shot

a policeman z. com 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 the 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 was 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. a judge of the high court in london has suspended for 9 months. all lawsuits filed by grunfeld tower survivors and the relatives of those who died. he's encouraging all parties to try and reach a settlement outside of court. back in 2017. the recently refurbished apartment block was consumed by an inferno that killed 72 people. now bill shooters, mother, sister, brother in law and 3 nieces old,

died in that fire. the sun is not the last will priceless. they will make any difference whatsoever to my life or anything because they were more the valuable, the families, and they will never ever be replace council ability. and that's the most important for me more than anything to define that that blame was. busy to be for them to be accountable for it. 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 really do believe we've got away with mother. but nevertheless, to keep fighting to suit the justice, the reason behind the spread of the fire was believed to be the exterior clotting and thousands of other buildings nationwide are still covered in the same material

. ah ah ah bill it shook her again. hopes that regulations will be changed as a result of the tragedy, but he's not entirely optimistic. the lol is a bit of day. i hope they can look at prosecutor in them and when the prosecutor 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 this to so much going on is there is legislation regulations all out day and need to be updated. the law soft. busy where, you know, it's like a system for them, so where they protect the, the corporate, these high people in the, in the pages, they're very protected by the more and then the, so be all changed and updated on the count for the russian and chinese vaccines. that's the warning from france in europe minister who's concerned that e. u. member states might consider green lighting various vaccines that have not been approved by the block. as words con, with a delta variant, is spreading around the world, forcing governments to implement strict measures and ramp up the vaccination

programs. you fully vixon. it's important, the vaccines which allow entry to our territory limited to the 4 way shore about and certain countries which are looking to recognize vaccines like the russian and chinese ones. with saying no. the european medicine's agency has so far approved the following. pfizer, madonna, astrazeneca, and johnson and johnson shots rushers. sputnik ve, though, is among those currently under review process has been ongoing for 4 months already . but the batter to russia claim recently the delay is nothing political. moscow remains optimistic. finance. 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 are sure that to call the prejudices beside, either those of a political, artificial, or lot in nature. and eventually we will succeed. and the russian vaccines will be recognized disco hurricane. we spoke earlier with marcelo found out that they

normally the founder and chairman of swedish professors and doctors for human rights. he says the european medicines agency is driving its feet over the authorization of sputnik v and it is done for political reasons. is neither logical nor in, willing to go. not as he goes, bert considering that the sectors of the relation have not yet been when i said, if we compare it safety feature solid of axis. there is no clinical unused cation. the blog is for me. those are the asians by the french minister. there are the are not all need to do for you, but it clearly try to ignore or even discuss the rest 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 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? while the pandemic marks are grim milestone with 4000000 people, reportedly having died now from cove it. and as the delta strain becomes a dominant variant, the world health organization has sent a warning to countries that might be hoarding vaccine. bucks him 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 of air and will dominate all the other ones in the coming months. it was

1st detected in october in india and since spread through a 100 countries. and now dozens are implementing new restrictions and travel bands . we spoke to dr. joy deep grover and ne consultant about the dangers of mutations . is by far the most common experience now to print in it is next to impossible. there will be new patients. 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 vaccines, at least locally at the extent. but, you know, you never know, you might get the mutation which escapes the current. unless everyone is vaccinated and 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 conditions prevention strategies this pandemic. we keep spreading the able to paper that seems to all humanity. all right, thanks for joining us here. your program returns with daniel hawkins in half an hour in awe. alas, the end appears to be near washington's 20 year average to nation bill and f denison was always going to end this way a complete and total failure. it is doubtful. the corrupt government in kabul will last long after the american withdrawal of dennis and remains broken and the american people poor and no one is held to account. ah

ah well come to the alex, i mean sure we examine the political feature of northern ireland here, nor the knowledge was due to my 100 years of existence. however, despite the best efforts of the british government and various unionist committees, a combination of colbert spectacular divisions with an adornment union, his party, the d, u, p, and the reality the past, the current to to mean uncomfortable with its very existence, celebrations, have been rather muted instead, the province told its collective breath as a marching season starts. this year, however, partisans will not be marching to proclaim their traditional allegiance to credit and country. but on their opposition to the northern ireland protocol, which has effectively placed an administrative boarder in either c. today i'll speak to buying a toy for many years, a living labor politician,
