the good news they tell about make sweeping gains enough. joe biden admits the group is up its strongest in decades, but the us president is still pulling most american boots either of the country by the end of next year. we know mission accomplished. i was accomplishing that we get to scott some, him and log in. terrorism is not emanating from that are also in the stories that shape the week from, refuses to reveal the locations of radioactive waste dumps in algeria 6 decades after conducting nuclear tests. there when it was one bit call, an 8th of the u. s. his brother, the right to appeal against britain's refusal to extra died julian sons. however,

one of the whistleblowers on this friend believes washington's attempts. ultimately, this appeal is an attempt to pro long inevitable. the inevitable is the freedom of julian assault ah, with the top stories in the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly, an rti hello and a warm welcome. at least 16 people were killed and dozens more injured and fighting between the oscar army and the taliban in the city of kandahar on saturday. the update coming according to local health officials, the backdrop tool. this is not, it comes as finding really has been intensifying across the country with the

taliban making significant territorial gains. and while the u. s. president joe biden has conceded the group has no of its strongest in 20 years. he still pulling the vast majority of american troops from afghanistan. your view with making this decision for the last 20 years worth. we went for 2 reasons. one, to can you blame him? after 20 long years and no victory? anyone would struggle to answer why. so the $47000.00 civilians could be killed, so that only half the population could live in poverty. so the country could lie and ruins faced with its ugly reality. is it any wonder the bite and decided it was find me time to come home?

i will much send another generation america to war and i can stand with no reasonable expectation of achieving the different outcome. oh, there was no mission accomplish. permission was accomplished in that we get to scott some in widen, and terrorism is not emanating from that part. a little we achieved those objectives. well, not quite. all carnita might be gone, but the taliban is ascendant. advancing so quickly that and now claims to control 85 percent of afghanistan and the country view as nato allies having jumped ship. its people have been left to fend for themselves or calling them. they've got everyone who's worried about how long the uncertainty will continue. no one is doing business, the markets, 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,

have 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. some have already fled to neighboring pudgy kissed on and iran, but that might not be an option for long. the ton of fine controls, 2 thirds of the border with tajikistan and recently captured the crossing to iran, meaning the on many escape routes left and especially dangerous prospect for those who worked with foreign armies favoring for their lives there. now cooling on washington to get them out. one of the monday gave us a recommendation. they not only my life, my family, and i did all set up on the job with really when we don't have an issue we have now we want to take, i need to sit on the united nation. yes. what you

call yourself humanitarians. but what kind of humanitarian saw you left me here after i was 10 years for you? russia is also worried that the fighting will spill over into its territory. so its arched restraint promised to g, cuz tom, back up on the board and maintains dialogue with the taliban and the country that created this whole mess. just opt in left. oh, i for the i upton left in the dead of night without what apparently the washington claims local

officials knew that withdrawal was imminent. the very next day newton was seen plundering background base funny american souvenirs left behind. with this hasty exit parallel for being drawn with another open us, as for was vietnam wage, a war on terror realized that the tree is impossible in could deal with your enemy found in your eyes and get the hell out of that. well, let's just hope the carpool doesn't fall as quickly as south vietnam. did. joe biden, at least, has faith is a tale bon take over that gas that now inevitable? no. it is known. is that what the goal was? 20 years ago? that devastation, no plan for long lasting peace. and i hope that the government wouldn't crumble as soon as the u. s. left. how many more countries will be put through this vicious

cycle before us finally, lines. it's lesson. united states is a far very global empire. we are absolutely totally addicted to war. our economy cannot survive unless we are either actively engaged in war or preparing for war. and so there is obvious parallels between afghanistan and vietnam when i was in vietnam, i was, i mean, many moms. so i was seeing the rapid disintegration of american involvement in vietnam. so i was seeing the homicides the suicides, the ramp, and heroin addiction shit out among the american soldiers within our own. you obviously at that point in 197071, we were questioning, why were we ever in vietnam, you know, because a lot it was thought that we were there to preserve peace and democracy and the

united states government. but that was all a lie. everything was a lie in the same thing is true for the war in afghanistan, you're going to see a lot of a rack and ask them better is probably committing suicide. there's a lot of that are going to drink and drugs themselves and death because they're going to ask themselves, what's the point of me ever being in iraq or afghanistan? so in less than 8 weeks, the u. s. military adventure comes to an end in afghanistan, whichever way the future plays out, it will affect lives both inside and outside the country. according to recent estimates, the exodus of african refugees, that's rising rapidly. the number is closing in on 3000000. putting an immense strain on countries having to cope with the newcomers, germany, france, and romania top. the list of you countries taking in the most south gum migrants in austria, a 5th of all refugees are now from afghan. the stone and the large numbers are also

bringing a host of problems. some horrific as electrical reports. imagine you're in charge of a country shocked by a creepy rape skin. the victim who died had just become a teenager. the suspected rapists are young and afghan 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 in their home countries, political opponents will give you a p r b t plus that will raise some liberal e u eyebrows. let's hear from the man who has lately been facing this precise challenge. sebastian kurtz, the chancellor of austria of the dawson. 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. they will definitely

never be a hold to deportations off. can he's done or a watering down of asylum laws for asylum seekers who permits crime just about? what exactly 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, the u. s. military mission can stand, continues to the end of august, where the future of ghana stan, 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 it's asylum policies recently. the justice minister for the green party says more such steps wouldn't be right for the country. the asylum law is all ready been tightened in recent years. i will lose often enough options, but we just have to apply them in a consistent manner. moreover, and 2019 the european court of justice ruled that you members have no right to the port a refugee even for committing a serious crime. if he or she prove that live back 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 is party has locked horns with the greens justice minister saying he will push for more rigid migration and repass ration rules. at the level. the e u silence 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 joe biden's, keen of ganeth stand, pull up the silent system as we have it in europe is just a way to turn illegal immigration into illegal immigration when the illegal immigrant arrives in any country of europe. ready and he, he says asylum, asylum immediately becomes illegal immigrant in the european asylum procedure,

which usually takes place. is it general problem which your console was wanted to measure? so at least the mini stick minister of interior mist. anyhow, my has now admitted that the asylum system up to 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 green mediums 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 in austria, for example, have a quote of about 50 percent, the austrian citizen in the long run. this is a problem because it tracks and facts my guns from all the 3rd world. another story to bring you today,

we and making into years of french nuclear testing in algeria section of the sahara desert as after lasting impact on locals, the environment, 6 decades on, on the radioactive aftermath still remains with algeria denouncing partis, ritz refusal to sure where nuclear waste is buried ah, hurry of france since this morning, just stronger and prouder. ah, well, back in the 60s, france carried out more than a dozen nuclear tests in the sahara. but according to our jury, it made no effort to clean up the sites or pay compensation to the victims who suffered from radiation. r t. charlotte to ben ski has been digging further into

the story from pars your theory and the government is stepping up the fight. it has acute france of refusing to handle important information regarding the sites from refuses to hand over topic 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 differential therapies, should at least recognise these crimes then move on to compensation. jerry, people are still counting the victims of radiation and the nuclear tests. many children are still born with congenital deformities 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. 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, and 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 slide. 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 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 all 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. not on those nuclear test, algeria was, will be 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 6 of the hand. that pressure lead 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 relation between jews and paris. charlotte people sky artsy in paris and indeed a woman who claims similar nuclear tests in french polynesia left her suffering from cancer in later life believes from of the case to answer my grandparents died of cancer. my mother's sister had cancer and the age of 27. i was diagnosed with chronic leukemia, which is a radiation indeed disease that he had fallen asians are very nice. so for us, the sided to conduct tests and follow neesha because the local did not see anything wrong with them. the exercises ended in 1997, but they with 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 are ruining my life. i raise the issue, 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 it's wrongful. they off all the factors polynesians, and be punished by an international court. because now we're a small country taking on big france more from the news week that was in 1902nd stay close. aah! join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . i

me. ah ah, i use the, the, the, the, the hello again, 6 months after the u. s. law sits bid to have whistleblower julian,

a sons extra talented. a u. k. court has granted washington the right to appeal that judge is reported to have agreed with 3 of the 5 justifications. the u. s. submitted. while the by and ministration is apparently not prepared to let a son serve any prison sentence in his history and homeland, but his partner claims healed ready has upright stella morris. this week also gave her reaction to the grunting of the appeal for whiteside the court. i was able to speak to julian about the decision and you know, it's mixed because on the one hand it's been 6 months and we haven't had any news. so it's like an endless purgatory. but at the same time it doesn't here. and julian's very on, well, he's happy when, when he feedback, i went with our eldest this morning. and so it's not representative when i see him because obviously it's a, it's a one rest fight. he get off,

but even bowl marsh prison is a horrible place. he won his case in january. why is he even in prison? why is he even being prosecuted? there is no legal case against him. all. there is an indictment based on life. washington wants his sons to face charges, putting an espionage which could lend him a sentence of a 175 years of convicted. in january, a british judge ruled against his extradition over fears about his mental health. in 2019, he was forcibly removed by police from the ecuadorian embassy in london. after quito terminated his 7 year asylum there. wiki leaks editor in chief, a long time friend of a sons christian, her robinson sees the sheer length of the entire process is shameful. well, it's a great disappointment for julian sounds and for all of 1st that this is continuing . one would hope that the united kingdom courts would to recognize how ridiculous this case is and not grant the appeal. this means that this will drag,

go on for some time for a prisoners to have to wait in a prison cell for 6 months for half a year. just to get a decision of whether the appeal is allowed to to his opponents or not is rages. this decision comes only a week after it is revealed. the indictment has to be and does not have a leg to stand on the key with and says retracted to the testimony and says basically that testament which was cited by the business judge numerous time us truthful allegation doesn't hold true. it is a fabrication and the americans now know if they're still continuing on this truck . this appeal is an attempt to pro long the inevitable. inevitable is the

freedom of julian. if he does not get his freedom, it is such a load to our society and what we believe in that it is almost amount to turning off the light. so this must come to an end. and i can fence in my bones that it will be coming soon. a trillion m p 's are urging president biden to drop the us government's extradition appeal. the straining citizens want juliet, us on to be free, is treatment violates for convention against torture and its persecution threatens journalists worldwide. we drop the u. s. president. jo, button hazards vladimir put, and then a phone call to crack down on ransomware, tuckers,

operating on russian territory. that's despite the white house admitting it has no new evidence suggesting moscow had anything to do with the recent spate of cyber attacks. that in turn, hasn't stopped the mainstream media from pointing the finger out russian hackers as our senior correspondent morale guest. he takes us through in recent weeks, months, russia had because of have seemingly gotten into overdrive at least if a slew of us media reports about cyber attacks on american entities and corporations. if that is to be believed credited gremlins at work, obviously obvious that is only to the u. s. media, we're not, we're not certain. the initial thinking was, it was not russian gums, but we're not sure yet. the media seem to know something that neither biden nor the f, b i, nor an array of intelligence agencies. something that they don't know because where

that media is crying, russia, the politicians in the experts are much less sure. listen carefully to the language that officials use it. they are saying russia tax, anything. what president biden can, and i expect will do his demand. russia live up to its obligations and prevent its territory for being used for these criminal acts in once. russia to be a productive member of the international community. he could certainly arrest and try these criminals in russia or hand them over to stand trial. elsewhere. pundits are saying, it's russia, they, they couldn't possibly know with it's russian government hackers or criminal russian hackers, or even if they're russian. not of the white house itself, doesn't notes. but there you have it. russian government hackers, breach the computer systems of the republican national committee last week around the time. irrational and criminal group unleashed a massive ransomware attack, according to 2 people familiar with the matter. it's the strangest thing. usually

it's the, it's the professionals or the people that they report to the government that tells you if they believe that someone was attacked, it could even be the victim. they would, they would know. but in this case, the republicans, which the media has were attacked even they faith, they weren't. over the weekend, we were informed that synnex a 3rd party provider had been breached. our team worked with microsoft to conduct a review of our systems and after thorough investigation, no r and c data was accessed. what pundits usually do is they write a sensational head, loves the caching on your clicks. family, that medium makes money right ads. so do you encounter from brush collusion hooked skill down the list of the bugs, russia, hackers, stories and you'll see we only learned that they were made up after that generated millions of clicks. but there is also an agenda. the vested interest to keep painting russia bad, to make sure that relations never rebuilt. rushing group are evil,

the same group that took down j. b. s. hacking into software manager, casea ramps of demand came from a criminal organization likely be in russia. we're learning details of what appears to be a new russian cyber attack. the targets were us and foreign government agencies. we can guess why they keep doing this 1st and foremost, the fortunes that have been made. scam or greg about russia from billions of clicks and media side. so enormous cash injections for the pentagon made possible only by hysteria about russia and the cause sold habits die hard after a century of bashing russia, in all its forms. the american media just can't shake the habit. well, they don't have really any idea. they're simply surmising where these attacks are coming from. they don't have any way of sourcing these attributions. because this is merely, these are merely face of a baseless assertion. there could be

a major cipher event coming up in the near future, and they want to have a ready, a ready scapegoat in russia. for some reason. i mean, there are all kinds of indications that something is of foot. in terms of cyber security. it's merely a kind of a, a trove to constantly say russian hackers it's, it's just the common trope that they're throwing around without any evidence whatsoever. a reminder for up to the minute developments this, some they do give her a twitter page follow, well, worth some of your schooling time today. hope you can join me again. the top bye for now. the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation,

let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with me the me to jump to leave you will have access over 20.
