by receiving some secret information. there's much more to it, aside from the harsh sentences and the least than the databases of potential threats. there are special powers that the government wants to give itself the power to punish and restrict individuals, be the journalists or foreign spas. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail them, there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest that an individual is engage in hostile activity, but for limited evidence that could be openly used to support criminal prosecution . the civil order could include a range of restrictive and preventative measures, including measures to prevent an individual associating with certain people or from visiting specified sensitive locations. currently, these proposals were being polished off at the foreign office but could soon be in parliament make no mistake. these, these new secrets he would give the most autherette area and regimes in the world a run for their money, a pass, we feel blowing,

chavez, which is germany, is a country that can overcome this financially. germany is a strong country, will oppose this force. of nature in the short term, but also the medium and long term policy that takes nature and climate into accounts more than we have done in recent years. there had been warning from the weather in 2016 the river, far bursted banks, causing damage to bridges and other infrastructure. they were repaired, but nothing was done to protect against future high waters. it's not a secret that streets and bridges and all these dams are not in a good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting till something happens again, 5 years ago we had a duration similar to this one and a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired it like it's okay for now. and nothing happened till then. and now the bridge is gone again, this part of germany is no stranger to flooding, which banks the questions. why were the authorities not better prepared for what

6:18 pm
6:19 pm
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 critical of time. time to sit down and talk the welcome back. now the u. s will continue to boom. afghan is stand despite previously pledging to withdraw from the country by september, the 11th this year, a top general says as strikes will deter the taliban from further advancing on afghan government positions. the united states has increased airstrikes in the
6:20 pm
support of afghan forces over the last several days. and were prepared to continue this high level support in the coming weeks if the taliban continue their attacks. when this comes amid a massive offensive by the taliban, which now controls over 80 percent of the country's territory, according to estimates by local and international rides, groups over $50000.00 people have died in the conflict in the last 20 years in 2009 alone the united nation says that more than 800000 civilians lost their lives. the rule is also led to an ever increasing refugee crisis to you will get more on this now to with my committee for form a pen can senior security policy advise you very welcome. thanks for coming on again, michael. firstly, this action here. what impact will it have on the taliban? and is there a danger? it will look america back into a never ending war? well, i think it's a little too little too late. the tele bomb was,
6:21 pm
has really been on the move. and you have, you have a lot of african forces that have already deserted they, in fact they've gone into other countries. and this, this kind of support, i think, is a last ditch effort to try and support what's left of the cabal government. if you recall, the defense secretary initially announced that there would been no such air support for afghan forces. now that's been reversed after they saw off the lightning speed in which the telephone has taken over. and they're just, they're just moving, moving, and they're, and they're going into strategic areas that they know that they can take very, very rapidly britson, the district, capitals and provincial capitals rather. and this and that. and there are areas that african forces don't have really good intelligence. so if you run the
6:22 pm
higher risk now of getting collateral hitting civilian populations and, and of course, tell a bond is very wise to air attacks. and that's what they'll do. and i think that it's very unfortunate from a military perspective, only forget the politics, but from a military perspective. isn't it not better to send the troops back in well, in a perfect world, but we have not had combat soldiers in there for some time. we've had it advisors and teachers and it would re, if you, if you did that, you'd be changing the whole. busy policy all over again, and biden, from the very, very start, had advocated removing troops altogether from afghanistan. and, and if you recall, he was also the vice president under obama when obama moved all troops out of, out of iraq. and we only had to go back in again. and so this is just history repeating itself. and it probably will become worse because it's the bombing will
6:23 pm
probably hit limited areas, but i don't think it's going to be effective against the widespread infiltration that the telephone has now made in the inroads that they have made into the districts and the provincial capitals. i mean the prospects on good all day because i remember even just a few months ago, the talk was less how we can get some sort of pay, stay with the taliban and the afghan government, i mean, and the taliban has said that we believe america is breached withdrawal agreement about unspecified consequences? i mean, it sounds like it's just gonna kick off again while the telephone is violated. it's the turn that it also agreed to. it refuses to talk to the afghan government all together. initially they were going to, they were going to do it. so they basically have announced that they will not talk to the government and they want, they want to move in and start and create their own emeralds. but even if we stop farming and, and tell the bomb begins to take,
6:24 pm
take over governmental run in of the country. it's still going to have a problem with ethnic groups that now we're re read, reforming or reshaping their, their militias and creating new warlords because they, the tele bonus advancing into territories and they're trying to, trying to protect. many of them are shared by the way and they are, they are there against taliban. they and they don't have any faith that the government could protect them. so we're in for another slog, i think it's going to be, i think it's going to disintegrate back into a civil war in the very, very little time. so the bombing is it looks good for purposes of trying to keep up the think the government temporarily, but it's on its way out. and just lastly, did she think this will have the support of the afghan people this latest bombing
6:25 pm
by america? oh or is it just too difficult to say? i don't think it's, i don't think they care. i think they're all wondering how they're going to survive period. and they know that the effectiveness of u. s. military power in afghanistan, such including the history of other countries, army use story, historically speaking, going all the way back to alexander the great. they just cannot take over that country and that area. and it's, this is just one more futile attempt and the people are really looking on how to survive at this point. they're not they, they do fear the tele bomb and it's very strict shari'a law. and that doesn't preclude the possibility that other ethnic groups and other militias, probably harbor shari'a law themselves. and it's, it's, we're going back to where we were back in 79. we've spent trillions of dollars,
6:26 pm
tremendous loss of life on both sides. and we have nothing to show for michael, look, it was a pleasure to talk, she will leave it there. that was mike maloof, a former pentagon adviser, thanks coming on. thank you, andrew. he's already the world's richest man, but thomas and found jeff bezos has scaled new heights off the blasting off into orbit in his new rocket. the managers start to what? the what it was a quick trip into space, entire journey lost in just 10 minutes off landing safe and back on earth. although some had wanted to stay in space for a lot longer, perhaps for good, an online petition objecting to his re entry to rack up more than 100. 60000 signatures. he's kellum off in us new yorkers. whether in an ideal world would allow you, we need them here, but i'm saying it's a lot of things happen in the world. you don't need to be flying to the space. well, that seems a little bit extreme,
6:27 pm
but maybe because it will probably never really happen. those 3 people alone can take care of the whole world problems right now with the pandemic. but they're going to space at the end of the day. we supposed be focusing on our population, not up there down here jeff days. those is not the only 1000000000 air to have gotten space fever. he actually lost the space race to another. alter richman, richard branson. and ilan mosque is set to be 3rd on the podium. they all claim that it's for the common good way here to make space more accessible to all welcome to dawn of a new space age. recent studies showed that a minimum wage worker cannot afford a one bedroom apartment in 93 percent of the counties in the united states. this is not a situation where people can afford to just get off to the stars for a holiday weekend. now there are many billionaires like days i was who actually avoided paying taxes. many look at this and blame a corrupt loophole. written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due
6:28 pm
all backwards and corrupt tax system has allowed the same person who pays next to know federal income tax to blow $7500000000.00 on his own. private aerospace company, while hard work in american families pay an average of 14 percent income tax each year. basis on the other, billionaires in his obscene race to space should be required to pay death show. while working families were struggling to pay their bill than the infrastructure of the united states is crumbling, the billionaires are having their own little space race and seeing who can reach the stars faster. do you think you'll ever be able to afford to go to space? i can't afford to live in new york. the average person can barely afford starbucks travels, never going to be affordable for everybody. by the fact we might be because you know what, as this economy is coming down to order technology and everything is being upgraded to the fact that how we bought the mobile with ers. i mean over to an explain it possibly. so now with many feeling that glory projects such as races into space to
6:29 pm
make a mockery of the hard work carried out by the majority, it shouldn't be a surprise that many are wondering if we shouldn't just dump the ultra rich into outer space as the latest piece of space junk muffin, r t new york. i'm not note, it brings us to the end of the weekly. thanks for watching back again at the top. oh the, i use
6:30 pm
the war on drugs noted as a way to come back, a great problem. what's the one, it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was competing insurance form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else to be happening. join me every 1st day on the alex, silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politic sport business . i'm show business.
