1:02 pm
we were shopping in the country for 20 years are packing their bags. joe biden has defended sending them home while leaving the country to face what he's now calling the strongest taliban in 20 years. the u. s. president says simply, nothing more for washington to do. no mission accomplish. permission was accomplished in that we get to scott some in widen and terrorism is not emanating from that part of the 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. so here's what i've got on looks like right now in terms of who controls what a taliban areas. and you've read to cover an estimated half of the country that the group claims to control up to 85 percent. areas in yellow are contested,
1:03 pm
pockets of green showing where the government hold sway. with the u. s. president saying americans achieved its objectives in the country. critics decry the price that's been paid me. oh i a i the her the
1:04 pm
of course is not just garbage. the u. s. has left behind. in fact, afghans have been well seen selling plunder us goods off the looters ransacked what was america's main military base and background. us troops slipped out of the field and the dead of night without even notifying local forces. the claim of african officials. the pentagon denies that saying the god military was well informed of the withdrawal. nevertheless, locals living and working thereby are worried about what lies ahead. are calling them. they've got everyone who's worried about how long the uncertainty will continue. no one is doing business. the market and the people that work there have been badly affected. business has collapsed because there is no stability before when the u. s. didn't plans withdraw, things were stable, but the instability is increased since they left. well, i mean, i'm very clear the yes had contracts with market owners here, and we used to purchase from them that withdraw will affect our business. we can buy any goods because there are transportation problems. well, the british troops have also now wrapped up their mission and i've got install and
1:05 pm
according to the u. k. prime minister. in fact, he says most of them have already left the country. a fact that riled some of his own. m. p. 's. i speaking in the house of commons, tom took an hot began his statement by recalling how he 1st met another m p on the battle ground. this is an enormously possible issue for me. i didn't meet the hon member for bonds, the central here or any of the clubs. the thing. thanks around westman. so i met him about 20 miles to the west of gums here in the desert as we were fighting side by side against the enemy. he's just lifted and the achievements that he has listed were won with the blood of my friends. i can point him to the grave where they now lay. because that legacy is now one that is in real doubt, we know it, and we know that is not just his decision. we know that the u. s. decision to withdraw forces was fundamental here. but he can, he explained to me,
1:06 pm
how does britain foreign policy work in a country like half gonna stand? if persistence isn't persistent? if endurance doesn't endure, then how can people trust us as an ally? how can people look at us as a friend? we spoke to a former royal air force officer who served in afghanistan, who shared his thoughts on the withdrawal and of the entire mission. on the one hand, ethically it's right for us can to determine as a future that will happen. it's just the future may well be particularly unstable. brucell takes us back to the medieval period of time without the democratic will or the democratic infrastructure being in place. the security forces were established to create it. i think to be realistic. we need to wait and see what the future holds for the thompson have correctly said. we've had 20 years, 20 years,
1:07 pm
with trillions of dollars through this campaign. and to achieve what we've achieved in 20 years, which is unclear. as a military guy myself, i somewhat ashamed, ashamed of that. so in less than 8 weeks, the u. s. military operation come to an end in afghanistan, whichever way the whole future plays out, it will affect lives both inside and outside the country. according to recent estimates, the exodus of african refugees is on the rise considerably. in fact, the number is closing in on 3000000, putting an incredible strain on the countries forced to cope with the newcomers. a germany, france, i'd romania top the list of e u countries taking in the most to ask and migrants in austria, a 5th of all refugees are now from us. kindest. on. and the large numbers are also bringing a host of problems. some of the groups and as elliot trendkite reports,
1:08 pm
imagine you're in charge of a country. shocked by a creepy raved scale. the victim who died had just become a teenager. the suspected rapists are young and again refugees. you've got no choice but to take action. if you don't, the public won't get it, and that's if you're lucky. if you get too tough on those who escape misery and war back home and their home countries, political opponents will give you a p r b t plus that will raise some liberal u eyebrows. let's hear from the man who has lately been facing this precise challenge. sebastian kurtz, the chancellor of austria. often i find it intolerable for people to come here, sing seeking protection, and then commit cruel and barbaric crimes in austria. politically, this means for me that we will stick to our line with me. there will definitely never be a whole to deportation to stun or a watering down of asylum laws for asylum seekers. who permits crimes. what exactly
1:09 pm
did he mean by barbaric ah? and austria, more than 4 percent of all rapes, an 8 and a half percent of all murders are committed by afghans. of course, not all refugees are thugs, but e statistics in 2020 show that afghanistan citizens have the highest number of asylum applications in austria. and for 3 years in a row, they also are the 2nd largest group of asylum seekers arriving in europe as a whole right after syrians. some are worried that higher numbers of refugees could mean more potential trouble. i want to be clear, u. s. military mission can stand, continues to the end of august, where the future of ghana stan,
1:10 pm
looking murky beyond the withdrawal of us troops and the taliban, making large territorial gains. it's only natural that a new wave of refugees from there is expected in europe. it's obvious that austria can close its borders. it has already regularly tightened its asylum policies. recently, the justice minister from the green party says more such steps wouldn't be right for the country. the asylum law has already been tightened in recent years. i will lose offer enough options, but we just have to apply them in a consistent manner. moreover, in 2019, the european court of justice ruled that you members have no ride to the port a refugee even for committing a serious crime. if he or she prove that live by home would be in danger. all of this does seem to tie the hands of cancel or curts, who like you've heard, is in favor of different patients for criminals. the minister of interior from mr. kurtz,
1:11 pm
his party has locked horns with the greens justice minister saying he will push for more rigid migration and recreation rules at the level. the asylum system is not working, migrants who committed criminal offenses have to be reported immediately. while the advocates of the harsh approach towards refugees in the austrian government are teaming up with colleagues from hungary and the czech republic, the iraq received doesn't exactly paid the way for quick changes in a solemn rules. certainly, they won't be as quick as job biden's, keen of gannett stand, pull up the silent system as we have it in europe is just a way to turn illegal immigration into legal immigration when the illegal immigrant arrives in any country of europe. and he, he says asylum, asylum immediately becomes illegal immigrant in the european asylum procedure,
1:12 pm
which usually takes place. is it general problem which your console was wanted to measure? so at least the mini stick minister of interior. miss denise, how am i, has now admitted that the asylum system of europe in union is a disaster. but austria and the government has done nothing to change that or to avoid it. because austria, through the dreams of the european union, has collaborated in creating the system. we didn't send $11.00 single africans, african home for years in austria, not one and hundreds we street, for example, have a quote of about 50 percent, the austrian citizen in the long run. this is a student problem because it tracks and tracks magnets from all the 3rd world. meanwhile, the austrian feminists have been having this say on the issue. they've accused local media over races, reporting, which they say vilified migrant. a group of activists, steven storm,
1:13 pm
of the offices of a local newspaper, confronting the journalist. you can find video of that at a whole lot more. besides at r t dot com right now. so 17 people have been detained in connection with the murder of haitian president hope and l. moiz among them 2 americans of haitian descent of police are also looking for 8 other suspects . in this case, that's learn more about this right now. live to watch these, kill it more than a good to see you today. what's the latest in the investigation you can reveal to us now? sure, well we have a situation where the police are still tracking down some of the suspects in this high profile case. we're now getting an image of the team of 28 trained killers who took out the president of haiti and they did this on wednesday. now, details are starting to emerge. we understand there are 2 haitian americans and the
1:14 pm
rest are of colombian descent. now the police tracked the assassins to a house near the scene of the crime. there was a fire fight that lasted late into the night. 3 of the assailants were then killed . as some others were able to escape and then broke into the embassy of taiwan. they broke in and, and were in the embassy of taiwan. there was a situation where some suspects were, grabbed by a crowd, and a crowd demanded that the police and burn the suspects. they wanted them to be burned. we also have a situation where we now have a press conference taking place where we're getting kind of a clearer picture of this squad. some of the weapons that were used, the rifles machetes that were used are being displayed. here's what we heard from the haitian police, the these assailants, the thugs, who killed the president. we've caught them. we've captured them there in the hands of the police,
1:15 pm
as you can see. now among those to arrested were to us citizens of haitian descent that were arrested. now the u. s. the u. s. the state department spokesperson wasn't able to confirm that they were indeed us citizens. now media is reporting that one of the individuals had previously been detained at the canadian embassy in haiti, and is actually described as a certified diplomatic agent on his own website. now, since then, there have been some reporting that have said he was simply a translator, but others are purporting to a ledge. he was somehow the mastermind behind this attack. meanwhile, the colombians appears they were retired military individuals and they are being described as basically professional assassins. take a listen they put my initial information indicates that they are
1:16 pm
columbian citizens retired members of the national army. we have given instructions from the national government to our police and the army to immediately cooperate in this investigation so that these events can be clarified. now as the details of the assassination are coming out, we're getting a rather gruesome image of what happened. the president apparently had 12 bullets shot into him in addition to having his eyes gouged out, his wife was flown to florida for emergency medical treatment. she sustained very serious injuries herself. now some reports indicate that the, the, the aim of the mission may have been to actually detain or arrest the president of haiti rather than kill him. but that is not what happened. he did end up losing his life. furthermore, from what we understand there is now a very big political vacuum in the country. the parliament is pretty much default. there are 2 individuals claiming to be the rightful successor of noise. and now
1:17 pm
we're expecting even more unrest on the streets of haiti as it becomes unclear, who shall lead the country. there is a state of martial law with the military trying to keep calm on the streets, but angry, angry crowds have indeed gathered, so more unrest is expected for haiti and the aftermath of the death assassination of the president. oh, i don't see caleb often. thank you. now, according to reports, the to americans claim they were working as translators for the hit squad. it's also reported the operation have been planned for a month and that his aim was not to kill the president, but to bring him to the national palace. well, let's learn more about this right now. we joined life by daniel shore, professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university of new york. great to see today. thanks for joining us, an aussie international. i know it's early days yet, but who do you think ordered the hit here on the president? i know it's early days, speculation of course, but who perhaps was calling the shots? good afternoon,
1:18 pm
rory caleb said some key countries there. when we talk about colombia, when we talk about taiwan, who are we talking about taiwan, is a country recognized by a few others in the world, but of course is always head the support of the us and us satellite states. so neo colonies as haiti as long function. so very telling that these mercenaries 26 out of 28, are colombian to our american, and then they go to seek refuge in the taiwanese embassy. so i think we have to highlight here is colombia now becoming not just an internal oppressor of the everyday colombian. people battling neo colonialism there. and 9 u. s. military bases on colombian soil. but it's columbia, now the largest exporter of violence in latin america. let's not forget rory last year. they tried to assassinate the democratically elected president of venezuela as well. so you don't think, for example, that it would be the leadership in columbia,
1:19 pm
the could be behind this assassination plot. you're saying the columbia is a good place if you need to, most in areas, go to columbia, pick him up and they can go and do a job for you. oh no, i think the links definitely and i'm not speaking from any point of paranoia, but from recent history. the links between the drug enforcement agency, the different intelligence services in columbia, in the us, in haiti, definitely coordination. nothing happens in haiti economically, politically diplomatically, militarily paramilitary param militarily without the u. s. is being involved. and everyone understands that in haiti, and it was very telling that job, and i'm always the former, i'm not going to give him the credit of calling him the president because he didn't have a constitutional mandate. but the former dictator on neo colonial puppet, before he was executed, his security forces completely stood down because they saw some light skin people in haiti, what they called blur. they saw some white people or americans who they perceived
1:20 pm
as americans. and they immediately stood down because they understand who really calls the shots and he, it's very interesting and very interesting, daniel, what about that? when you mentioned, for example, the 2 americans were among the suspects that apparently these 2 americans were translators. were you surprised when you heard that there were 2 americans in the mix? slow, if you're being held with a bunch of em 16th your head, rory. well, we're both going to say we're innocent translators to so i don't believe a word of that. this was a highly sophisticated, heavily armed operation, is by sheer coincidence that i'm reporting from new york city. i was in haiti the day before i was in transit when everything happened. and as you know, all the borders are shut down with the dominican republic. there's no flights in and out of haiti, but then it's very telling that the very countries are the nationals most responsible for this tragedy. if we're, if we're calling it that the true tragedy is with the have 12000000 people with the haitian of haiti,
1:21 pm
suffer through every day grueling poverty and hunger. but now the one sending assistance in big quotation marks is the united states in columbia. so those responsible for the very historical disease now claim to be the ones with the cure . so there's, there's a lot that is very suspicious. worry. so i, are you suggesting that there is a possible us connection with this? o. unquestionably induced lee. i have no doubt whatsoever. i've been a student notation history in haitian creole since 998 frequently travelling to the country, i work with the haitian grass roots organizations. this could be the justification for the next us away as you, when the try factor of evil imperialism for the next invasion and occupation of haiti, where the entire economy is us sweatshops and us agribusiness. so this whole myth about haiti being poor and having no geo political and economic,
1:22 pm
she's important for the united states is ridiculous. and is the number one myth right now that we have to dispel. it's what c n n and the mainstream media will never talk about. so if this was potentially a case of regime change, what's the point? that's a great question because it isn't regime change because job an animal we're was one flunky. and now you have cloud, joseph is to interim prime ministers right now this arial are re, but they're all sink offense. none of them are true nationally, so internationalists, they don't have a anti imperial is ideology. so right now it looks like a palace coup. different wings of the haitian bourgeois z, both of which would be in size with different parts of the state department or the pentagon or the cia, or the d. a or these are the proxy forces from taiwan and what we're seeing columbia, they would be buying for this power. they would have their own graves, we chauvinism, louise, and there's a lot of egos and narcissism involved. but at the end of the day, this is
1:23 pm
a lot of palace entry. what matters are the interests of the haitian people. and as they said to me as i was still in transit to new york city, leaving cap haitian, the 2nd biggest city and haiti, we were hungry when we woke up on tuesday. the president in the dictated, was killed. we had the same hunger when we woke up on wednesday. that's interesting comments that daniel, you say you say you've been there in recent days. you say that in your life you've been to have had a number of times, so you must have spoken to the locals on the ground there and kind of gotten a feel for what the general public thinks about. there are people happy, the president has been ousted, not well. what? what's the general feeling there? wednesday morning, people were neither celebrating nor morning. they were afraid. they knew that this new state of siege, the haitian people have already lived under a state of siege for how long. and there's been a week, they knew that this would only intensify. so all these images with the new york post and they love sensationalism. and they love putting out all the different races, images of haitians,
1:24 pm
but this idea that all the haitian people in the streets is lynch mob, trying to round up. anyone violated his sovereignty is pretty ridiculous because joan elmore louise was not well love and to quote a haitian leader who spoke on tele sword. we didn't want to assassinate or off the president, but we weren't into ouster him from power. so certainly the popular movement did not wish harm on the 1st lady or the, or the wife of the dictator. but they did want to remove him from office or professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university in new york. daniel shore of very insightful compensation. thank you for your time. thank you. well, trouble is blowing in over. france has plans to build off shore wind farms with turbines as high as the length of 3 football pitches. a belgium has launched legal action against the move off the locals outline their objections. a parish nevertheless says that the wind in its sales, the precedent of the commission for energy regulation,
1:25 pm
even suggested opponents should have their energy cut off. on caesar, charlotte duma ski travel to the area to find out more. it may look calm, but a storm is brewing. and it's a huge one. france plans to build an offshore wind farm just off the coast here. the turbines would be as high as the eiffel tower, around 300 meters tool. so they'd be pretty imposing. the idea has caused a fury in neighboring belgium so much so that the q e u countries, a set to go head to head in court as belgium threatens to sue a complaint will be launched with the european commission because our country has not been consulted about the location of the area, while european directives require it independently owned the french belgium board
1:26 pm
of that anger is palpable. since it is very close to the boarders. about 10 kilometers, it will be very visible from our beaches. this landscapes and the feeling we have of liberty and seeing the thing to horizon is actually our main products. that is why people come to our shores. that is why people buy property with an ocean view is because as he does horizon, they don't come to department to see windmills for francis, a very important project. i understand that, but that doesn't mean that you have to put all the burdens with the neighbors and take all the advantages of nations. so as you've heard that there is really strong opposition to this wind farms from the belgian side, but they are not alone. in this, we're about to cross the french border, where there are protesting groups who have been opposing this windfall ever since. it was suggested that if you do a little bit of research,
1:27 pm
you will find that this project is planned in the heart of the natural habitat, which is supposed to be a safe space for the species living there. and it's also a historic site of operation. dynamo, meaning that this project also does not respect history from, says president mat calling has a set himself up. is this defender of the environment? now he wants prompts to have 40 percent of its energy to come from renewable sources. wind farms that by 2030. now, those wind farms are crucial kogan, that idea, and the pressure is also mounting off. the high council for climate in france says that the country is going to miss its greenhouse gas emission targets. that failure would be embarrassing, but we didn't foam like the one that's planned for here are not popular with everyone. if i go to petition and despite that, when the minister came to dunkirk and we tried to meet her,
1:28 pm
she refused to talk to us. and then she came to tell us the details of a press conference. she told us that this project will be carried out no matter the opinion of the locals. if this has any impact on the territory, why is it not the inhabitants to the side? why is someone in paris making the decision locals here have even demanded a referendum over the project, but that has been completely dismissed by the state france. he's also ignoring the, please from its fellow e. u. member. the government is determined to conduct offshore wind. foreign projects will of course continue the dialogue with our belgium and france to take into account the concerns. but the fact is that the dunkirk park is strategic for the implementation of our energy program. and that we must not waste any more time . however, that could be scuppered. not only has the french military now decided on
1:29 pm
new restrictions and constraints as to where wind farms can be built. but the senate in france is also just adopted a measure that could allow local meds to veto such plans. meaning that frances idea to be greener than green could soon have the wind knocked out of them. charlotte diva ski for all. see on the french belgian border more here on that story right now. it r t dot com with the rest of that mix of the storage. if you think you miss anything, you need an update. just log on to our website for the meantime. your program is back in about half an hour. the back dies or financial survival guys? housing bubble. oh, you mean the downside? artificial mortgage?
1:30 pm
i don't get carried away. i was trying to report the planets i can ship it there. we found 25 years ago. took only 4 days to go around the stars, which means to finance is very close. so that was really the big surprise. and we have learned since then, own system is maybe one among many. that's not the archetype that's not the standard way to our planet. another shot because everybody was expecting the planet to look all the same. ah, to the small town, a 120 kilometers from moscow with a population of a little under 75000. it's no more than a tiny dot on the map. it's actually the very center of russian nuclear physics and
