[000:00:00;00] the telephone that makes the sweeping gains in afghanistan job by the admit, the group is at its strongest in decades. but the last president is still taking american boots off the ground by the end of next month. mission accomplished was accomplished and we've got some in log in. terrorism is not emanating from that point. and disturbing themes of self harm in belgium is migrants that go to extremes in their flight for asylum. although authorities insist that they won't be blackmail written in grants. the us the right to try again to expedite joanna songs, however, one of the whistleblowers oldest friends believes washington's attempts will

ultimately fail. this appeal is an attempt to crow long. the inevitable. inevitable is the freedom of julius ah, and broadcast and web direct my studios musket. this is art international. i'm john thomas. with us is we recap the week's top stories with our weekly program. 16 people were killed and dozens more injured and fighting between the afghan army and the taliban in the city of kandahar on saturday. that's according to local officials. this comes as fighting has been intensifying across the country with the telephone, making big territorial games. and while the u. s. president joe 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 win 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 bite and decided it will find me time to come home? i will much send another generation america to warn i can stand with no reasonable expectation of achieving the different outcome. now mission accomplish permission was accomplished in that we get to scott some and one in 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, s and nato allies having jumped ship. it's people have been left to fend for themselves, 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 instability is increased since they left. 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 tajikistan and iran, but that might not be an option for long. the ton upon control to thoughts of the

border with tajikistan on and recently captured the crossing to iran, meaning of the on many escape proof 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. one of the monday gave us a recommendation. they have not only my life, my family, and i also looked up 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? he left me here after i was 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 up and 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, plundered 5 grand base funny 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 bond 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 us finally launch 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 war. and so there is obvious parallels between afghanistan and vietnam. when i was in vietnam, i was the only medical 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. 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. 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. there are 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 rack or hundreds of undocumented migrants are on hunger strike in brussels. in a bid to press the authorities to grant them asylum, some have even so in their mouths, shot 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 progress was made. officials now say the fighting economic exploitation is one of their priorities. they see 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 results? a week later, you get 202020000 people who would do exactly the same. around a 1000000 migrants enter the u 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,

save that. they're asylum appeals have still not been processed or to show divinity reports of brussels indigo, long term migrants across brussels, 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. while we've been 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 their situation, leaving them no choice. i have started this and i have to continue to the end of

last 15 kilos, but i am ready to lose another 15 or 20 just to be legalized. some other people rest their lives even more. my body 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 isn't that nipple in they don't understand polly kennedy speaking the police, and they see the does the things. so my child is, is property of belgium and just give me what for me. then i can walk and i can give you food, my child, the belgian government. so says it won't change policy. it's frustrating. we are trying to help people as much as possible to get their dossiers 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 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 in the the but is a regular is they shouldn't real solution in some other countries, of course the e u, spain, portugal and 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 migrant. but the process has been proved with allegations that permits

a being issued arbitrarily with it has collected regular possession 9. that is only meant new influx of illegal immigrants doesn't work before the political action is there. all responsibility is not that of the governing or citizens of this country . if our government gives it opens a little more actions like this for a new way. will the immigrants coming to our country, the 5th picture? let's together make 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 stain and one of our campuses have reached you pin point where they can irreversibly put the health at great risk. we grabbed that public assault, just 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 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 the 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. that 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 receive a paper that says they have to return home. a former police officer may be new york, next mayor, after winning the democratic nomination, who has picked despite a year of black lives matter protests who is stated, aims included, defense, the funding, the police in the city crime is soaring with new york state governor andrew cuomo, declaring a gun violence disaster emergency. the new me oral 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 combat in gun crime. he supports police reform, but is against d, funding the force if black lives really matter, it can only be against police abuse and has to be against the violence that's

ripping 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. you see it out in the streets, in their homes, in the neighborhoods and they want to feel safe. so this gentleman ran on a platform of public safety and making people feel safe in their resume with them. and that's it. you know, the, to find the police movement has been a large failure. demonizing and attacking cops has been a failure and people are ready for change and hopefully this is the catalyst of some sort of change. and it's not just a new york police or polling shows that concerns about violent crime, or at a 4 year high nationwide with homicide rates. climbing across the us. chicago's mayor has asked the president for help after the city saw it's bloodiest weekend over independence day. when more than a 100 people were shot,

policemen 0 are come again, says the public are demanding action, but leaders aren't listening. the bias is right and people's faces. you can put all the crime statistics out there, say a 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. italy is the official winner of the euro. 2020 football championship. that is after they beat to england $32.00 in a tense penalty shoot out.

the data contains the streets of rome to celebrate what is only the 2nd time. it only has one of the euros setting off fireworks and probably waving the italian tree color. the overall picture in england is much more subdued as fans come to terms with the result. however, the 10th final did spark clashes near wembley stadium with around 45 people being arrested according to british police. and he's shutting edwards dusty 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 for the fans is a downpour. as i feel it was heartbreaking to see the way

it was just an expected with the goal at the very beginning in expected place. i think we'll have that in. it comes out one day like we've really had, like just looking for everyone considering the last yes. well, we look great to against the it was so close and it felt like for the entire much thing with domain name thing is to leave it in. the 2nd of things were changing somewhat. and actually in the 2nd half of the extra time, it really was kind of a very, very strong but still the english was alive and kicking. i was here right now in a pub in west london. and it really felt like it was coming home. it's devastating to see that it's not the case, but what can we say? we have the experience play as we have lots of sterling realist. we had them all

but still it just didn't come to fruition tonight. but 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 us last. it's better to have whistleblower gillian. assange 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 bite administration is apparently now prepared to let the sergeant serve any prison sentence in his australian homeland. but his partner claims he already has that right? still a 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 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 you know, boma prison is a horrible place he want his case in january. why is even in prison? why is he 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 him a sentence of 175 years if convicted in january, a british judge ruled against his extradition over mental health issues. 200-1900. he was forcibly removed by police from the ecuadorian embassy in london, after quito terminated his 7 year asylum. their weekly editor in chief christian

robinson says, the sheer length of the entire process is shameful. well, it's a great disappointment for julian sounds and for all of those, but 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 after it is revealed that the indictment of studio does not have a leg to stand on the key with and says retracted to testimony and says basically that testament,

which was cited by the business judge numerous times as truthful allegation, doesn't hold true, it is a fabrication and the americans now know it and they're still continuing on this track. this appeal is an attempt to pro long the inevitable. inevitable is the freedom of julia. 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 urging president biden to drop the u. s. government extradition appeal. the striding citizens want juliet, 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 vladimir putin 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 is our case. but i got to give comments in recent weeks, months rushman hackers of have seemingly got into overdrive at least if a slew of us media reports about cyber attacks or american entities and corporations. if that is to be believed, credit in 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 are much less sure. listen carefully to the language that officials, they 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 burst 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 ah, 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 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 a thorough investigation, no r and c data was accessed. what pundents usually do is they right. sensational head loves the caching on your clicks. fabulous. the medium makes money right? ads. thought even counter from brush collusion, hooked skill down the list of the bunked, 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 russian group are able, the same group that took down j. b. s. hacking into software manager, casea ramps of the bad 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 of course old 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 cybersecurity. it's merely a kind of a, a troth to constantly say russian hackers it's, it's just the common trope that they're throwing around without any evidence whatsoever. that is a look at your weekly for this, or i will be back in just over 32 minutes with another full look. give

me who i make. no, certainly no borders and the line to emerge . we don't have authority. we go to the back seat. the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is to response has been massive, so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need

together in 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 on 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 to

me. we live in a world where industry doesn't want any regulation. they just want to put their products on the market the we need a regulation so we don't do create the things because maybe sometimes who do great things i don't know. but except that we have regulation,
