i use a gun, he's done spinning out of control, stunned by the color bonds rapid advance towards cobble un, which is the militant group to hold the violence in afghanistan. while africa, i'm not going to refer, lies assisting for military, no fed violent retaliation from the resurgent taliban. we speak coming up to one former translate, who asked for his identity, be concealed by his and his family safety post form. we believe that the telephone was down for an interpreter who served to partition american forces. it will be the african interpreters who create the hon force and a state of emergency because of unprecedented wildfires has been expanded now to

cover 2 vast regions at eastern russia. more than 7000000 hector's siberian forest had been effected until christ so sky and his crew on the front line the small fire, the guys are trying to put up with their own hands. my little piece like this burned down dozens of miles. you know force. i like good morning for moscow. it's 11 a one here live from ortiz world, these h q this weekend. kevin, are with you for the next half hour. thank you for checking in. so that a fair bit of coverage, this update focused on this the taliban. now, beginning to encircle the african capital cobble as the militants gain control over half of the war, 2 nations provincial capitals. but it took months for the un security council to

convene an emergency meeting to admit the dire situation on the ground. there are enough ghana, stan, even a country that has tragically known generations of conflicts. afghanistan is in the throes of yet another k. york take and desperate chapter. an incredible treasure the for its long suffering. people are forgotten. he's done. he's spinning out of control. the warning from the united nations follows another day of gains by the taliban, claiming friday it's taken off, kenneth's times 2nd largest city kandahar. you're looking at exclusive footage from there is a mis militant groups saying it sees hundreds of weapons and vehicles as well as large amounts of admission in the city. meantime, the u. s. embassy in the capital kabul is urging all americans now to leave immediately. diplomats are also reportedly directed to destroy sensitive documents and computers before they left, checking out the map. this is the current situation this weekend. the current of

the taliban has taken hold of strategically crucial locations. as described very near the capital, the islamists ramped up their offensive back in april after the us president announced that he was pulling troops out. at the time the military group held less than a 5th of the country, but now the control more than half. with the militant senate cobbles door this weekend, we heard from people in that city or money and sure, we are afraid of them. as the cities are falling tea by day, the capital may also fall after some time. he had also wanted to shut off. we are afraid why is there no weapon support for our security personnel. they are being killed from the front line. they have to retreat or give up. yeah, because they're run out of equipment like what if you could do that when i see that we are on the verge of losing everything really lose hope. i have even taken to ask him some of my friends if i have ever done them wrong and asking for forgiveness. because if the taliban come, none of us will survive. i know will be kill them. i fell at the very last

telephone. i witnessed my mother getting legislative called upon reviewing her fees for a couple of minutes to d. i shielded the taliban, come to power, will return to the seam dark. the, the people often especially the people of cobbled extremely disappointed in a lack of military strategy that should have prevented what is now a very demoralizing trend for the african soldiers entire units. you know, even brigade in or commanders are set entering to the parlor one not putting up a fight. many people in the city of chicago today that i spoke to told. busy me that why did their sons got killed when they were sent to the more corners of this country? and this was the end result when you had the western embassies. the cobble is not, therefore, when you hear them deploying forces, saying that this is specifically to evacuate their own, you know, citizens. it does not instill confidence in the afghan government during the

african peoples. i'm sure that the presence of taliban around cobbler province in within the city is now an open secret. and what is a city like? carbo? it's panic. chaos, you know, the memories of the 1990, the very fresh. when i finally went to a very dark, i must also highlight another point that cobblers have no electricity. so those fears are real risks are in. busy and the people are quite tragically, don't have a hole in the future of this country that is crumbling for the time being the taliban. i've never shied away from saying what they want the complete resurrection or their islamic camera. that rule from one to 96 to 2001. however, concerns remain as for some countries, the group is considered the terrorist organization arabic sat down with the spokesperson for the taliban political office to hear about the future of the

movement. now, as they saw it, should i let people did to tell about use force to take the 10 provinces had no control or did the provinces combo and terribly. i'm an oscar i think you should redirect this question to the people that it's for them to assess whether force was actually needed to take control of 10 large provinces. in little more than a week, when the government forces are much more resources and equipment and we do a bubble, they get financial and political help from other countries. how could this advance on the ground happen then? is that any other explanation of western countries or no accusing the taliban of trying to take control of a canister by force? the united states war that will lead to f. janice, dance isolation, and the taliban will be nice. lation once again. my mom wants good relations with all countries around the world, especially with neighbors in the countries in our region while we maintain contact with them. and we want good relations that we also want the countries that still don't understand the reality of what's happening on the ground and upcoming those

countries that came to us kind of some 20 years ago. we want them to understand who represent the us again. one of those countries put those who are now in power in places, and they gave them a lot of money. if we put all those dollars on the ground, they would cover the entire territory of guns. but when the money go, we went into the pockets of certain people who then moved abroad with the money. these countries know there is corruption here. they still support a vision which can't control it. so i was talking to the people and we said that during the meetings, and we say again that these countries understand the reality. why all people forced to have something. they don't want something that contradicts principles on value side of the people, and that will not be the same way. while deployment of us troops is arrived and cobbled to help of accurate embassy staff from the country. $3000.00 more are expected to arrive in the coming days, and as the us lead lyons withdraws. i've got nationals who help foreign troops now

fear reprisals from the taliban. one group of outcomes who assisted u. k. forces rallied on the streets a cobble on friday to bunny protection from the british government. and perhaps the calls have been heard. 600 british troops have been deployed that safe guard u. k. nationals as they evacuate from the capitol, as well as to support relocation of former africa and stuff. we spoke to one interpreter who worked for british and american forces. he, us to remain anonymous out of fear for his life. my family has listed to it's in the past sometime my m b home was attacked twice. my father has been given warnings and threats many, many times my. my dad's name was called that his life will be severely at risk because she offered no one but 2 of her son's guest, the italian recently, one of the interpreter,

his father was caught in a province. he was beaten very badly. and he was asked to ask his son, who is an interpreter, to come and face the issue the cause of detail upon recently, one of the interpreter who used to be an interpreter for the american special forces was assassinated by the time of the interpreters who have served for years and years, austin's chemist on tracing risk in benches. however, you can government instead of serving deadlines, bringing them to live in peace and safety with their kids. or they are making excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject cases. all i'm hearing from my colleagues is the big cases have been rejected, rejected. there was a number of cases which were told that they were good to go. there were even given

in there was sent an email confirming that when they were ready for the flights, they told me that they can read it to the you to my brother, book office wanted to up to for the coalition forces. my brothers still enough to understand the british government is making false accusations and excuses to withhold. not only my brothers visa, but many interpreters who genuinely need the british government's help and are very high risk or strongly believed that itala will hug down every or been interpreter who is. so if the partition american forces, it will be the african interpreters or who paid the ultimate force. nato's also concerned with the taliban plants in some emergency meeting on friday. the line

says chief saying they're amos to support the african government unsecured. he forces out to you, k some and right gives his take on the next his american troops and the night so long as it drags along for the ride pulled up. i've got install last month on the 20 is a bombing by the way, and i'll be honest, haven't go well. and on friday the 1st city fell to the child in the sunshine. we've seen like a domino effect. 9 other provincial capital in rural areas flying under child control, us in so actually think the combo might move within 90 days. they say that happened by next week. in fact, some nato countries are actually sending truth back to get their citizens out. already. you want the visual metaphor for america 20 years in african hearing about driving us blind humvees that they just took from the afghan forces. surely washington has prepared his body speak. got

a fight for themselves. fight for their nation. nice one. that will do it. i'm sure they caught your rallying cry on the evening news and laska go over. all president's response to the renewed misery of the average african person is do not regret my decision. i'm sure we done. he's not the one that can down the power of some kind of bond lane is. yeah, they're dragging the dead through the street as a warning to anyone who get some report suggest that us officials are being cool by surprise. speed at which time abandoned me back in underlining what we'll kind of know already the american lease policy. absolutely me off that the element of surprise, you know and told washington that the enemy supposed to be surprised last year you and report at the time i'm ready preparing positions when foreign troops leave proving that age or piece of military wisdom. if you're going to retreat,

it will be best not to tell the enemy the company is in advance. this how withdrawal has been planned to trump. i could win that war in a week. i just don't want to kill 10000000 people. they could have been one, so i suppose. so some other pals and wisdom coming from the white house include st . the afghan government should make peace with the man to avoid civil war. 2 lane, american diplomats of talk to the guns in the back as danis. they've been talking to china and the russians, how they even going to deal with a ton of law and load it in the prison. but when it comes down to it, this is what a forward leg. we spent over $2000000.00 over 20 years. we trained and equipped with modern equipment over 300000 afghan forces, how many more times america truck bombs and trillions of dollars to win a war and be surprised when it doesn't work. the site is you and report that no one

seems to have read from last year page 12 and interesting is just calling to is present in at least 15 afghan provinces. and it's still great makes for the time that's closer than ever. of course, we'll probably come back britain defense actually there. well done. everyone here for the next 20 years, the pointlessness on the diplomatic side, pakistan's national security advisor is urging africa leaders to try to find a political solution to avoid further violence in the past is about has been a successful mediator between afghanistan and the militants. but couple is critical of pakistan for offering shelter to taliban leaders and claims. it's also providing a haven for islam is fighters and he's going underground show, spoke to the african president, special envoy to pakistan about the ongoing crisis. now, you don't think some people in washington see this policy as when, when they remove the troops,

they destabilize afghanistan and the stabilizing china with the text on terrorists, as the chinese call them. who emanates of course, who's in jang and the stabilize russia with the tech minister is becca star board is the same time. they don't have to pay so much. they've spent 4 trillion maybe on these was after 911. it's a great victory for washington. when that's not how people find this and see, i mean people blame us. that last sponsor, really? the woman very i see personally so far, i mean the administration that was born in the conference it was based on the international consensus. but now whatever happened from now on, it's going to be bed based on the regional consensus. so the initiative is now more in the region then in europe and washington.

okay, away from that. another news today, state of emergency of wildfires has been expanded to cover to vast regions in eastern russia. thick smoke covered utility of a weeks and spreads the neighboring code screech and the father threatening a dozen villages. and i was several having to be evacuated this week. not he's wanted chris, some ski travel to your tier is a short x said from his extended report. ah ah ah, what did the red one? those are fires, fire covered this area. what's highlighted and green was also a fire. what's red is what is actively burning. now, how much land does the fire copper when about 150 square kilometers,

150000 heck tears. there was a huge bar here, but you have already put it up. it was here where we drove the fire 100 kilometers from me. i was just, we're running and driving, trying to find the fire shift fast and the wind an open escape. sometimes they move one kilometer in each direction. i mean, everything very sort of us, where is a fire that you're told everywhere. this how you get burned here? it's a total nightmare. i've never seen it as bad as this before, so i look like a smarter wears to fire. now, everywhere that obvious, the main part is now behind the village. i'm sorry. say everyone is trying to do

something to save the forest or it will all burn it was this year. this is how the forest bird. this is the episode just kind of in breathing here. the small fire, the guys are trying to put up with their own hands. so my little piece like this burned down dozens of miles of forest. me. me. ah. me just what we were told the summer would be the same as usual, no more arid. that's understandable because it happens every 5 to 10 years within preparing for this. but what we have now is to try somewhere in history. we could not imagine. this is a very, who's challenged me. me.

me . ah, ah. so pretty grim said kelly about from there. okay, thanks for watching the solar has out international with me, kevin. and i had the scottish government offering new guidance, claiming the children as young as full or able to decide the gender identity without the parents can meet consent to about it. what do you think about that good plan or not? where across it after the break. ah ah ah

ah me rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me ah, dares think me we dare to ask

me o, according to new guidance published by the scottish government, the children is for are able to change the name of gender school claiming that it's possible to come out as transgender at any age. schools have been recommended to support pupils if they want to transition without their parent's consent. that means then that trans children should be able to use whatever love a tree they want or changing room. they want to help the kids better understand the gender identity. schools have also been told to suggest neutral books and uniforms . but activists marion colder thinks it's a dangerous path to tread. this is inherently flawed through all id ology, which i think the pushing on the lobbying groups which helped write this, this document 4 year old times, no idea what been gender is very kind of easily influenced. and the very easily

influenced by adults and what they say around and so gradually putting kids in boxes that's an age of 4 years old and just saying, oh well if boy and you like you're playing with those, maybe you're at your terms. these are very dangerous ideologies that we're actually, we're going in and i'm sort of being progressive naturally. very me question. but the scottish government says children half here and learn more at school when they feel safe, respect to that included whenever that decision is made to transition. while addition, george galloway gave us his view on it. the nationalist government here of frustrated by its failure to achieve its primary goal the breakup or brits on the independence of scotland has made her turn to matters, solve sexuality and gender. in a truly remarkable way, i have as it happens, a 4 year old school. and if the teacher wanted to take her to the park,

she would have to have my consent to do so. but under this new set of regulations, if my 4 year old wanted to change our agenda, her name, her personal pronouns, they wouldn't have to even inform me. nevermind. as for my consent, this decree undoubtedly rob's parents of the rights on the european human rights convention. it is absolutely illegal in my view, i'm responsible for my children until they reach the age of majority. human rights groups are accusing candidates, breaking international law over the sale of weapons to saudi arabia and a report from 2 organizations, also states and also violated an alms treaty and humanitarian rights. in regard to

the conflict in yemen, we spoke to kelsey gallagher. co author of that report be endeavored to not only analyze but refute the findings of canada's report and come to the conclusion that canada's export of l. a. v's and other canadian made weapons to saudi arabia's actually in contravention of canada's legal obligations under the arms trade treaty, to which candidate has been a safe party for a couple of years now. and 2019 canada. exported nearly $3000000000.00 worth of weapons to the gulf monarchy. the very yet also was signed up for international arms treaty. and despite global pressure on re over the assassination of the washington post column, mr. milliken shoji in 2020 canada still reg. 10 about $1300000000.00 in weapons deals with the saudis also maintains it's got strong control systems in place and that there's no risk of rights violations. or this the call centers around the

ongoing conflict in yemen. who see rebels, who over through the many government are up against a multinational coalition, led by saudi arabia. more than 200000 de empties have died since the conflict started in 20144000000 have been displaced in tens of thousands on the brink of starvation and what's frequently been described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster. kelsey got the good telling us the arms sales from kind of facilitate the war. it's been a hot complex, it's 2014 and is deemed one of the world's worst humanitarian crises happening today. and certainly can provision of weapons to saudi arabia has a substantial risk of facilitating that conflict. and that is not just our assessment. in fact that's, that's actually based on the assessment of the group, the, you and group of eminent experts on yemen who have for a couple of years. now, i stated that the provision of weapons to saudi arabia is not only feeling the

conflict, but last year in their annual report. they actually sent it out and directly named canada as one of the, the few countries directly named as supplying weapons and thereby feeling the violence. if you check it upside out to the come, your phone will be covering the whole yemen war story. the saudi arabia for a long time, you once more back story to it. nicole since your chance to say if you go to the comments section on a bit as well, but for now, what time is it coming up to? well, it's just after 26 minutes past the hour, hope you're having a relaxed weekend so far. and thanks for checking in with us, kevin, out in the teams starting off and, and have a good day. mm. ah . 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 political time. time to sit down and talk i think is part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims. the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree with something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your evidence or logic. you see your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said your heart be again some psychological way because those are psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problem for politics

because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the the las vegas was the last resort. it was like tombstone territory, where all outlaws go to die. mom was real generous with everything they gave the rooms away the drinks away. the only thing they were concerned about was just making money on the gambling table. food and rooms and all that was just seen as the service to keep the machines turn in and you always felt welcome. even if you were poor because we were all for walked out the door for the most part. right. you could lose all the money that you had and you become dinners and breakfasts is and rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas. you come back the next year and blow your

money again. the main crime was skimming, and the monsters attracted their turf to the extent that they didn't want to draw attention and the st. criminals drew attention. so they stopped got them out of town. we put them in a shallow grave. over in san bernardino county, the old mob, it didn't allow street crime when the mob ran the town. people didn't lock their doors at night. it was considered to be a safe town back them. my officers were skimming money off the casinos and not paying taxes on that money, but in the 1980s they started getting caught. so you're starting to see a transition from the old kind of monitors with those as 2 suits run into place. this is a totally integrated, balanced resort, a man who turned up the wattage in las vegas. his casino mobile steve, when he set off a building boom and the 1980s that turned a bunch of gambling joints into an international tourist bought the when was the reason why vegas is the way it is. he's responsible for when he sold the gold

nugget and he built the mirage. he changed las vegas tropical setting with lagoons, an adria called home, and you can see the show room where the green roy are going to perform a loaded . that's where the template for the current las vegas casinos of all from las vegas started to change or get rid of the small and c knows going more into the corporate world. big money was starting to run the town as opposed to the people that live there. when he started seeing the implosion, all that old stuff come down and all the new stuff was coming out. all these new mega resorts. ah, in the midnight involving i was going through this family friendly phase.
