ah, the ah, the taliban that makes the sweeping gains in afghanistan, joe biden admits the group is added to the strongest in decades. but the u. s. president is still picking american boots off the ground by the end of next month. you know, the companies that we gather scholars, some of the log in terrorism is not emanating from that part of serving themes of self harm in belgium as migrants who go to extremes in their flight for asylum. although authorities insisted that they was the black and britain granted us the right to try again to extradite julian songs. however, one of the whistleblower oldest friends believes washington's attempts alternately failed this appeal. this attendant pro long the inevitable,

inevitable is the freedom of duty. the broadcasting live direct from our studios and moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program. this is our international now 16 people were killed and dozens more injured in fighting between the african army and the taliban . in the city of kandahar on saturday, that's according to local officials. it comes as fighting has been intensifying across the country with the taliban making big territorial games while the u. s. presidential biden has conceded the group is now at its strongest in 2 decades. he is still defending the decision to pull american troops out your view with making this decision for the last 20 years worth. we went for 2

reasons. one, can you blame him after 20 long years and no victory? anyone would struggle to answer. why? so that $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 biden 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 have been won in terrorism is not emanating from that part a little. we achieved those objectives. well, not quite all carnita and might be gone, but the tunnel bon is ascendant. advancing so quickly that

a now came to control 85 percent of afghanistan and with the countries us and nato allies having jumped ship. it's people have been left to fend for themselves. getting them to 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 businesses collapse because there is no stability before when the u. s. 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. the monday gave us a recommendation. they have not only my life, my family, and i've also done 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 were seen plundering 5 grand base that any american souvenirs left behind. with this hasty exit parallel to being drawn with another open us, as for, for was vietnam wage a war on terror realized 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. 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 the us finally learns its 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 more. and so there's obvious parallels between afghanistan and

vietnam when i was in vietnam, i was only met mom. 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 unit. obviously, at that point in 197071, we were questioning, why were we ever in vietnam, you know, because a lot of was thought that we were there to preserve peace and democracy and in 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 very rack and ask them better, is probably committing suicide. there's a lot of that we're going to drink and drive themselves to death because they're going to ask themselves, what's the point of me ever being in iraq or afghanistan?

hundreds of undocumented migrants are on hunger strike in brussels. in a bid to press the authorities to grant them asylum, some have even sown their mouths, shut it to show that they have no say. on wednesday government officials met with protesters. no agreement was reached. but the union representing migrants says some of the progress was made. officials now say fighting economic exploitation is one of their priorities. they say that there are a 150000 living here illegally. and the $200.00 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 migrant center, the you and 2015 and were blamed for terror attacks and sharp increases in crime. some migrants who have been in belgium for more than a decade. there asylum appeals have still not been processed, or she shall davinsky takes up the story from brussels. indigo long term migrants

across brussels or taking action into their own hands and resorting 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 have needed urgent care. some for 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 their situation, leaving them no choice. i have started this and i have to continue to the end. i've lost 15 kilos, but i am reading to lose another 15 or 20 just to be legalized. some other people

risk 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 chinese not never in the don't understand the poly. kennedy speaking the police and they speak only 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 in

front of also been processed stage to call attention to the thousands who also in a similar situation the. a in the but is a regular is they shouldn't real solution in some other countries. of course the e u. spain, portugal in italy, that's the route it's been pursued. however, that too has caused problems. italy's point to grant access to around 600000 undocumented migrants. but the process has been proved with allegations that permits a being issued arbitrarily with it has collected regulated position 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 it opens the book for more actions like this for a new wave of immigrants coming to our country, i sent you the picture. let's together then your situation more. her oral than is already used. wrongest ortiz on 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, been point where they can irreversibly put the health a great risk. we regret that public us or just remain deaf to their ques, 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 any level, there's still 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 ejected 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 may be new york's next mayor, after winning the democratic nomination. he was picked to despite a year of black lives matter protests who's stated aim included to funding the police. now in the city, crime is soaring with new york state governor andrew cuomo declaring a gun violence disaster emergency. the new mayoral candidate is eric adams. he served in the police for 22 years and is currently the brooklyn borough president at the forefront of his platform is a commitment to combating gun crime. he supports police reform, but as against the funding, the force if black lives is really matter, it can only be against police abuse. it 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 capital is to some sort of change. and it's not just a new york polling shows, concerns about violent crimes are at a 4 year high nationwide with homicide rates climbing across the u. s. chicago's mer has asked the president for help after the city saw it bloodiest weekend over independence day when more than 100 people were shot. policemen zig are come again, says the public is demanding action, but leaders are not listening. the bios 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'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. watching the weekly on our international. we'll be back in just a bit. oh i i, i me

ah ah, i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk the welcome back to the weekly read here on our

international. now, italy is the official winner of the euro 2020 football championship. that's after they beat england fried to in a tense penalty. shoot out. the thousands of ecstatic italians flooded the streets of rome to celebrate what is only the 2nd time elite has won the euros setting off fireworks and probably waving the italian tree killing. however, the picture in england is much more subdued as fans come to terms with the result. the 10th final sparks clashes near wembley stadium with around 45 people being arrested. according to british police are shot edwards da street reports from a very disappointed london. deborah sarah, no money was to relate tonight. of course england have now lost the year for

2020. the final being a really, really interesting night. london is poor a right now. the rain is pouring down and the front is a downpour as well. we often penalties great against the it was so close that it felt like for the play, a much thing in which dominating is to leave. but in this kind of things were changing from what and actually in the 2nd half of extra time it really father actually was coming back very, very strong. but still the english pipe was alive and kicking. i was here right now in pub, in london. and it really felt like it was coming home so devastating to see that is absolutely not the case. but what can we say? we have the experience play as we have lots of sterling realist. we had some all

but still it just didn't come to fruition tonight. or many people in central london is my lunch in the whole of england. still some more optimistic saying some point eventually it's coming home 6 months after the u. s. last, it's been to have whistleblower julian sanchez extradited. a u. k. court has granted washington the right to appeal. the judges reported to have agreed with 3 of the 5 justifications us submitted. while the by the administration is apparently now prepared to let us on serve any prison sentence in his australian homeland. but his partner claims he already has that right, stella morris this week, also gave her reaction to the granting of the appeal from outside the court. 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 unwell, he's happy when, when he 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 belmont prison is a horrible place. he won his case in january. why is even in prison? why is he even being prostituted? there is no legal case against him. all there is, is an indictment based on life. washington wants to sign to face the charges of hacking and espionage which could lend him a sentence of 175 years. if convicted in january, a british judge ruled against his extradition of mental health issues in 2001, 900. he was forcibly removed by police from ecuador, and embassy in london, after quito terminated his 7 year asylum. there were 2 weeks editor in chief christian preference and says the sheer length of the entire process,

his shameful will. it's a great disappointment for julius thompson for all of this is continuing. one would hope that the united kingdom courts would to 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 sudan 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 track . 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 low 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 urging president biden to drop the u. s. government extradition, appeal strongly and citizens want julie at us on to be free is treatment, violates the convention against torture. and it's persecution threatens journalists worldwide. we drop

us president joe biden has urged let him put in a phone call to crack down on ransomware. hackers operating on russian territory, but despite the white house admitting it has no new evidence suggesting that moscow has anything to do with the recent spate of cyber attacks. that hasn't stopped much of the western media from pointing the finger at so called russian hackers as our cheese. but our gods have comments. in recent weeks, months rushman hackers of have keeping you gotten to overdraw and at least of a slew of us media reports about cyber attacks or american entities and corporations. if that is to be believed, criminal gremlins at work, obviously obvious that is only to the us media. we're not, we're not certain. the initial thinking was it was not rushing 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 the media is crying, russia, the politicians in the experts 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. it put in once russia to be a productive member, 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 breached the

computer systems of the republican national committee last week around the time. irrational and criminal group, unleashed a massive france where attack, according to 2 people, familiar with the matter. it's the strangest thing. usually it's the, it's the professionals or that 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 say they weren't. over the weekend, we were informed that cynex a 3rd party provider had been breached. our team worked with microsoft to conduct a review of our systems and after a thorough investigation, no r and c data was accessed. what pundits usually do is they right. sensational head loves the caching on your clicks. fabulous, medium makes money right? ads. thought even counter from prussia 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 assertions. 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 a 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. that's look to weekly for this hour. i'll be back in, let's say 31 minutes and 15 seconds with another look, stay with us. i

use ah, the news
