the appellate body to make sweeping gains. and i've done this on joe biden admit, the group that it strongest in deck in the us president is still taking american boots off the ground by the end of next month. you know, obviously to the competition that we get to scott, some in log in terrorism is not emanating from that part of the disturbing scenes of health hom, in belgium, as migrant go to extreme in the fight or a style of the authorities. and they will not be black men and britain drunk, the us the right to try again to extradite julianna's. however, one of the 1st of all i was the oldest friends believed buffington's at times will ultimately fail. this appeal is an attempt to pro long

inevitable. inevitable is the freedom of julian assault ah, highlighting the top stories of the day and of the we welcome to the program here. this is on the international was 16 people were killed on dozens more injured in fighting between the african army and the taliban. this was happening in the city of kandahar on saturday and it's all according to local officials. it comes as fighting, has been intensifying across the country, the taliban making big territorial gains. and while the u. s. president joe biden has conceited, the group was now at its strongest in 2 decades. he's still defending the decision to pull out all american troops. your view with making this decision for the last 20 years worth that we win 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 ugly reality. is it any wonder the bite and decided it was find the 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 accomplished. i mission was accomplished in that we get to scott some of 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 a now came to control 85 percent of afghanistan and with the country view, s and nato allies having jumped ship. it's people have been left to fend for themselves, calling them they go. everyone is 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 us didn't plan withdraw, things were stable, but instability is increased since they left. i mean, i'm very clear the yes had contracts with market owners here and we used to purchase from them the withdraw will affect our business. we can buy any goods because there are transportation problems. some have already fled to neighboring tajikistan 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 of the on many escape routes left. an especially dangerous prospect for

those who worked with foreign armies, fearing for their lives there, now cooling on washington to get them out of the monday, gave us a recommendation. they've not only my life, my family, and i've also done a lot with really when we don't have an issue we have now we want to take any decisions or united nation or you call yourself humanitarians. but what kind of humanitarian saw you left me here after i worked 10 years for you. russia is also worried that the fighting will spill over into its territory. so it's 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 the i up to left in the dead of night without what apparently the washington claims that local officials knew that withdrawal was imminent. the very next day looters was seen plundering 5 grand base funny american souvenirs left behind. with this hasty exit parallel to being drawn with another open us for, for was vietnam wage a war on terror, realize that the tree is impossible in could deal with your enemy found in your

allies and get the hell out of that. well, let's just hope the carpool doesn't fall as quickly as south vietnam did. to buy didn't 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 berry 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 and $97071.00. 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 and the same thing is true for the war in afghanistan. you're going to see a lot of rack and ask them better, is probably committing suicide. a lot of them are going to drink and drive themselves and death because they're going to ask themselves, what's the point of me ever being in iraq or afghanistan?

hundreds of undocumented migrants or on a hunger strike in brussels in a bit to should we say pressure the authorities to grant them asylum, some of even so in the mouth close to show they have no say on wednesday it government officials met with protesters. we understand no agreement was met with the union representing the migrant said some progress was made. officials now say fighting economic exploitation is one of the top priority. they say that there are 850000 living here illegally and the 200 people that decide to stop eating should be regularized individually. what would be the result? a week later, you get 202020000 people who would do exactly the same around a 1000000 microns enter the e u and 2015 and will blame for terror attacks and a very sharp rise in crime. some migrants who have been in belgium for more than a decade, say their asylum appeals have still not been processed. charlotte do buskey reports from brother, indigo, long term migrants across brussels,

taking action into their own hands and rooting in some extent to extreme measures to demand their rights, suicide attempts and sewing up their own lips. just to the shocking moves the migrants have taken to show just how serious they are. well, we've been to have 3 people who needed urgent care. some of the men and women taking part in this protest have been in the country for more than a decade. and they say that they have simply had enough of government in action. there's also criticism that brussels and even europe as a whole, have been so hesitant and imposing any kind of rooms for that situation, leaving them no choice. i have started this and i have to continue to the end of last 15 kilos, but i am reading to lose another 15 or 20 just to be legalized. some other people

rest their lives even more. my buddy kareem recently swallowed a razor blade. he had to get an emergency operation for other people. so the lips always actions of one go to show that we really need the documents. i am the nipple guy, but my child is not nibbling. they don't understand the poly kennedy speaking the police and they see the does the things. so my child is, is property of belgium does give me work for me. then i can walk and i can give you food, my child, the belgian government says it won't change policy. it's frustrating. we are trying to help people as much as possible to get their dos is to be treated as fast as possible. but of course not every undocumented person, not every person who is here can stay in belgium. the hunger strike is not going to help an issue of undocumented migrant isn't just confined in belgium. and

france have also been processed stage to call attention to the thousands who also in a similar situation the . a in the i the but is a regular a shouldn't real solution in some other countries across the u. spain, portugal in italy, that's the route it's been pursued. however, that too has caused problems. italy is trying to grant access to around 600000 undocumented migrants. but the process has been fruit with allegations that permits a being issued arbitrarily with it has collected regular possession 9 that is only . ready meant new influx of illegal immigrants doesn't work for political action.

is there, old responsibility is not that of the government or citizens of this country. if our government gives in every month it's opens the book for more actions like this for a new way. will immigrants coming to our country, i sent you the picture. let's together your situation more. her oral than is already used. wrongest ortiz all refusing to budge those supporting the protesters say that off the 6 weeks, the situation is now very desperate. the undocumented people who have been in hunger strike, especially those stand and one of our campuses have reached you ben, point where they can irreversibly put the health at great risk. we regret that public authority to remain deaf to their quest, which will continue to support stay faithful to our humanist commitments and our sense of justice. yet, despite all of the focus on migration, at an in new level, there is to no coherent strategy, which many think will only make the problem worse. the problem is,

is huge. it is without any doubt, the biggest problem facing belgium and european union right now. every single domain is under enormous pressure because of mass migration. i'm talking about public safety policing and migratory services, but also about things like education, housing, and the judicial system. if we decide to ignore the rules because people go on hunger strikes that we're setting a horrible example. the migration law in belgium is not strict at all. so if your application to get red residence papers is rejected, that means you, you really don't deserve them. and you have to go hope the problem is that the belgian government isn't doing enough to make sure that these illegal migrants who have their application regret your objectives effectively go hope. in many countries, they are, they are put on

a plane back to their country of origin. but in belgium, they just received a paper that says they have to return home a former police officer, maybe new york's next mail. after winning the democratic nomination, it was picked despite a year of black lives matter protest too, of course, stated aims included out of the funding, the police in the city, the crime is soaring with new york state governor andrew cuomo declaring a gun violence disaster emergency. now the new mayor, old candidate is eric adams. he's served in the police force for 2422 years. i should say he's currently though the brooklyn bar, a president at the forefront of his platform is a commitment to combating gun crime. he says he supports police reform, but it's firmly 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 britting 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 or 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 capital is to some sort of change. it's not just new york polling shows concerns about violent crime at a 4 year high across the country with homicide rights climbing across america. chicago's man has asked the president for help of the city sorts bloodiest weekend over independence day. when more than 100 people were shot, a policeman, z awesome again says the public at the mining action, but the leaders simply are not listening. the virus 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't 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 well, england are one nail ahead and the hero 2020 final. between england and italy. it's either coming home or it's going rome. let's absorb some of that material in london . our correspondent is there in the capital shot ed was dashti. now joining us live here in the midst of all the action, although you are luckily away from some of the larger crowds, one neale already. how's the scene for you? well, is absolutely incredible here tonight, a pool tonight is the final of the euro. 2020. actually,

and you're invested in this minute number 3, loop short circuit to one. now again, it's lee. i'm here in a pub in west london. very close to the stadium where that much is taking place. so now mr. inside the top is absolutely electric. all evening people have been singing it coming home, but the consequence on the city even i'm able to put emphasis hurricane school about winning goal in the seventy's. fine. no, but i managed to place myself in this pop up. many people told me they were giving up since the early hours of this morning to make sure that they had a table here tonight for the final. it is a really, really big game and then also very high. yes. we all one know, but still than the question really is because we just because of the italian team,

they haven't lost the day. i'm in such a 3, not just only conceiving 10 goals in that time. they were very strong team and they won't be an easy ride whatsoever. but the pundits all suggesting that they have it in the fact they all got to bring that towards the home this evening. we do have a price for the life of the likes of shore pool to schools that go on and g soccer, but a pulls we have hurricane our to is really leading by example showing a lot of confidence to what the reading a call for the team but it's not just their players that are competent this evening for the phones as well. quite a bit. no, that's not gonna lie, but most of it and we're going to win tonight. this give it to you want to england in the 9 to minute extra time. sterling has been brilliant. top case on a great job with a voice. i think we've got a team that wants to type england and when things, yes it is coming home coming time. definitely. yeah. because england

and we, we the support support touch it top 40 to better level the war and the name of the war. the please. that's are i strong and that can do anything that will re 140. yeah. so you just had that from italian funds as well. just as confident this evening, but we've had from other managers to south get who said we've come so far away in the final. we don't want to disappoint funds now. and tonight we're going to bring the trophy home. we've also had a message from hurricane our captain. you such to see these funds out on the streets is receive this huge reception of phasing. so say i'm not going to let

those funds down either. this is a huge, huge occasion. in fact, it really is with the in the nation behind them. what we've seen is all 24000000 people are churning in this evening to watch england bring that trophy home and in the passes around 2000000 people as well. what that means is a part of the 7 point. $1000000.00 points will be gobbled during this much tonight . it really is a time where we're seeing the whole nation come together. united of the was we don't really difficult year is a 1216 month of 90 and this is a time i was thing. people really, really coming together, but do we blame them for coming together after what's been so difficult? of course we've seen english many seem i haven't won a single for them. and since 1966, that is by the way, 65 years. so of course the sentiment tonight, one question learn,

is it coming home? so everybody in england? yes, it is shot, it was dash 2. thank you. thanks for joining us for an international. your program is back in one minute. the i me ah ah

ah. summer solutions where we focus on the solutions. not so much. the problem, stacy. right. we are joined by jeff booth author of the price of tomorrow. the the, the, the, the ah, top stories of the week and off today, 6 months off to the us last, it's a bit to have whistleblower julian us on extradited. u. k. court has granted washington the right to appeal. the judge is reported to have agreed with 3 of the

5 justifications that us submitted. while the biden administration is apparently now prepared to let us on serve his prison sentence will. anyway, he lives, particularly that is in australia. but his partner claims here already has that right. i sell morris this week also gave her reaction to the grunting of the appeal from just outside the course. i was able to speak to julian now 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 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 gets off, but he's been you know, bowman, prison is a horrible place. he won his case in january. why, even in prison,

why is even being prosecuted? there is no legal case against him. all there is, is an indictment based on life. washington once assigned to face charges of hacking and espionage which could land them. a sentence of 175 years if convicted in january, a british judge ruled against the expedition of mental health issues. in 2019, he was forcibly removed by police from ecuador, and embassy in london. after quito terminated his 7 year assign them, a weekly editor in chief of christian thompson says the sheer length of the entire process is shameful. well, it's a great disappointment for julius thompson for all of this is continuing. one would hope that the united kingdom courts would recognize how ridiculous this case is and not to grant the appeal. this means that this will drag on for some time for a prisoner 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 on the week of the it is revealed that the indictment against union does not have a leg to stand on. the key which 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. meanwhile, australian m. p. 's are having that come by your moment and urging president biden to drop the u. s. government, extradition of the strategy and citizens want julie at us on to be free is treatment, violates the convention against torture. and it's persecution threatens journalists worldwide drop so high and shifts in the u. k. could be having to change their. busy ways that the, as the country plans to bad and boiling lobsters alive is possibly things to activists from crustacean compassion. who say the animals feel pain. there is more

than enough evidence about the ability of this senses if captivating, creatures to feel pain and suffer the undergo paul in treatment in the food industry. the government also intends to recognize crabs, octopuses, and squid as capable of pain, is part of the animal welfare bill, which initially only apply to vertebrates. a few countries have already banned, boiling lobsters alive or switzerland, norway, and new zealand. alternatives though include stunning, the lobster 1st, either with electricity or ice or killing it mechanically. from scientists though, argue that crustacean nervous systems are incapable of pain, claiming that their bodies respond merely reflectively to stimuli. i had the chance to put the issue up for debate with a panel of guests showing compassion to more species that does, but a good thing, isn't it? a lot of concerns have been raised about this bill that there are going to be many unintended consequences in terms of what we mean for fishermen, for full food production for the final cost to the consumer. and i think there's

also a question of why it is being done. now. we have a global and domestic pandemic that we are still struggling to get through. there's going to be a huge economic pool. now from it kate's over to you, forgive me for being devil's advocate, but what's next? cockroaches, when would you go on what this land titles us and right now it tells us that animals with a nervous system and can feel pain and stuff. you know, we think that this is a really big step forward for the animals. it's not just that, but a sentence by recognizing that, you know, and crabs and other stuff that could pub concealed pain. the government is, is going to then protect them further with other animal welfare legislation, which will mean that they can no longer be killed in an inhumane way. transported handled, you know, in an inhumane way. it becomes incredibly dangerous because of killing into bonds.

then what happens is it becomes impossible to eat it so they get their outcome. i actually would much rather sit and be honest about those. i'd say in reality this is about bombing bait fighting fish and bonding all forms of slaughter for the pepsi to study something. you know, this isn't about binding eating animals. obviously pizza would like to live in a world where people aren't, you know, killing and consuming animal. but this is going to make it illegal to eat lots different crabs makes them a lot more expensive for the, for the average consumer. and so predictions are the sorts of wealth measures will increase the final cost, the products by about 20 percent. it's not for the government to tell us what we should or shouldn't be having. you know, this is the 21st century. the people should be in charge. yes, the public needs to be in for it, but they also need to know that these animals and their son and i most people, when they find this information, i will align the morals with the actions. okay. and

if it is purely a public information campaign, then we don't need these measures to practice in the press the fishing industry. and we don't need these, these measures by products. if it's just about math science, we can lay the science before the public and leave the public to decide are there are some your top stories of the day and the week have with a weekly program on our international thanks for sharing your time with us here at moscow the weekly returns at the top of the me ah, the me the board ever since.
