with the consequences today, the dan, he's done, he's spinning out of control, stunned by the taliban to rapid advance towards cobbled un or just the medicine group to hope the violence in africa. meanwhile, the president there refuses to step down going against the key taliban condition for a peace deal. while africa, nationals who risk their lives assisting foreign militaries, now fear violent retaliation from the resurgent taliban. we speak to a former translator who asked for his identity to be concealed for his and his family safety. from the belief that the telephone had been interpreter was served to partition american forces. it will be the african interpreters will create the course and other needs. a state of emergency over

unprecedented wildfires has now expanded to cover to vast regions in the eastern russia. now more than 7000000 hectares of siberian forest are effected nazi news. crew reports from the front line, the small fires, the guys are trying to put up with their own hands. my little piece like this burned down dozens of miles forest. ah . hello there. good to happy with this this weekend here on our see international as we take you through some of the big stories across this weekend, around the world and a fair bit of coverage. this update focusing on the latest developments in afghanistan and his 1st appearance on national television. since the recent taliban resurgence president ash rough, gaudy, has refused to resign. something that was part of a proposed piece deal with the medicine group. he also called the re mobilize ation of armed forces, a top priority. all this comes as the taliban,

the gun encircling the african capital cobbled. it's now in control of more than half of the water 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 in afghanistan. even a country that has tragically known generations of conflicts, afghanistan is in the throes of yet another k. u optic and desperate chapter. an incredible treasure the for its long suffering people, afghanistan is spinning out of control. and the warning from the united nations follows another day of gains by the taliban, claiming on friday that it had taken got us on 2nd largest city kandahar. you looking at exclusive video from the militant groups that had seized hundreds of weapons and vehicles, as well as large amounts of ammunition in the 50. meantime, the u. s. embassy in the capital is urging all americans to leave immediately. diplomats were also reportedly directed to destroy sensitive documents and

computers before they left. and this map shows the situation right now. currently the taliban taken hold of us strategically crucial locations very near to the capital. the best ramped up there offensive in april, after the us president announced he was pulling troops out at the same time, the minute group held less than a 5th of the country, but now it controls more than half with the militants and cobbles door. then this weekend's, we hear from people in that city or by the tub and sure we are afraid of them as the cities are falling t by day, the capital may also fall after some time. he had also my enemies 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 run out of equipment like what do they have 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. i love you for have i ever done them wrong? and asking for forgiveness because of the taliban come,

none of us will survive. i know and will be kill them. i fell at the very last telephone. i witnessed my mother catching leslie told upon reviewing her feet for a couple of minutes to d. i shielded the child, but come to power will return to the scene dark. the people often especially the people of cobble or extremely disappointed in a lack of strategy that should've prevented what is now a very demoralizing trend for the african soldiers entire unit. you know, even brigade in core commanders are surrendering to the top one, not putting up a fight. many people in the city of chicago today that i spoke to, told 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 list of the cobble is not there for 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 african 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 cobbler? it's panic. it's chaos. you know the memories of the 1990 s, very fresh. when i finally went to a very dark period, i must also highlight another point that cobbler had no electricity. so those fears are real risks. busy and the people of mine is quite tragically, don't. busy have a hole in the future of this country that is crumbling for the time being. a ton of bands, never shy away from saying what they want, the complete resurrection of the islamic amorous that ruled from 996 to 2001. but consent remain because for some countries the group is considered a terrorist organization. i'll teach arabic channels met with the spokes person for

the taliban political office to hear about the future of the movements as they see it. did the taliban use force to take the 10 provinces, now controls or did the provinces come voluntarily? i mean, i think you should redirect this question to the people. it's for them to assess whether force was actually needed to take control of 10 large provinces. in little more than a week. the government forces are much more resources and equipment and we do above all else. they get financial and political help from other countries. how could this advance on the ground happen then? is there any other explanation on the western countries or no accusing the taliban of trying to take control of a canister by force? the united states wars that will lead to f. janice, dance isolation and the taliban will be nice. lation once again. we want to have good relations with all countries around the world, especially with neighbors in the countries now region while we maintain contact

with them and we want good relations. but we also want the countries that still don't understand the reality of what's happening on the ground enough chemist on those countries that came to us chemist on 20 years ago. we want them to understand who represents the people in those countries put those who are now in power in place. and they gave them a lot of money. if we put all those dollars on the ground, they would cover the entire territory of afghanistan. but where did the money go? it went into the pockets of certain people who then moved abroad with this money. these countries know there is corruption here. they still support a vision which can't control itself. how can it serve the people? and we said that during the meetings, and we say again, these countries have to understand the reality. why are people forced to have something they don't want something that contradicts the principles and values of the people not open. meanwhile, a deployment of us troops has arrived and cobbled to help evacuate embassy staff from the country. $3000.00 more are expected to arrive in the coming days. and the

us lead alliance withdraws. africa, nationals who helped foreign troops now fear taliban reprisals. one group had assisted u. k. forces rallied other streets of cobble on friday, demanding protection from the british government. and perhaps that calls have been heard. 600 british troops have been deployed to safe guard and u. k. nationals, if they evacuate the capital, as well as supporting the relocation of for my afghan stuff. we spoke to an interpreter who worked for british on american forces. he asked to remain anonymous atmosphere 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 not one but 2 of her son's guest. the italian was 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 will, who is an interpreter, to come in trace the it should be a 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 to the interpreters who have served for years and years or stems. the chemist on tracing risk and 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 their 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 there 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 already pay to the you to my brother office for the trip 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 other 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 serves the partition american forces. it will be the african interpreters, or who paid the ultimate force. while nato is also concerned over the taliban, bled from the summit, an emergency meeting on friday, the lines his chief says,

their aim is to support the african government and security forces are to you, case simon, right, gives us his take on that next. his america's troops and the nights so long as it drags along for the ride pulled up his dawn last month on the 20 years of bombing by the way. and i'll be honest, i haven't gone well. and on friday the 1st city fell to the child in the sunshine. we've seen like a domino effect. 9 other provincial capitals in rural areas falling 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 non hearing the kind of driving us blind humvees that they just took from the afghan forces. surely washington has prepared his bonds. big. 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 person is i do not regret my decision. i'm sure he doesn't. he's not the one that can down the bout of some kind of bond score settling is. yeah, they're dragging the dead through the street as a warning to anyone who get some report suggests that us officials have been 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, fortunately, no one told washington that the enemy supposed to be surprised last year, un report at the ready, preparing position. when foreign troops leave proving that age or piece of military wisdom, if you're going to retreat,

it's probably 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 was i supposed say some other pals and wisdom coming from the white house include thank the afghan government should make peace with the man to avoid civil war, to american diplomats to talk to the guns in the bank as danis. i've been talking to china and the russians, how they even going to deal with a ton of law and prison. but when it comes down to it, this is where they thought 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 spend trillions of dollars to win a war? be surprised when it doesn't work. the site is not you and report that no one seems

to have read from last year. page 12 interesting is suggest i'm calling to is present in at least 15 afghan provinces and it's still great my way back closer than ever. of course, i'll tell you will probably come back britain's defense actually that well done, everyone here for the next 20 years, the pointlessness i will on the diplomatic side, neighboring pakistan's. national security advisor is urging afghan leaders to try and find a political solution to avoid further violence in the past, islam about spain, a successful mediator between afghanistan and the militants. but couples critical of pakistan for offering shelter to taliban leaders and claims that it's also providing haven for islam as fighters. today's going underground and i'll talk to the afghan president, special envoy for pakistan, about the ongoing crisis. you don't think some people in washington see this policy as when, when they remove the troops, ladies stabilize the canister and the stabilizing china with the east coast on

terrorists, as the chinese call them. who emanate? of course, who's in jang. andy stabilize russia with the tech man. it's done is becca stone borders. and the same time they don't have to pay so much. they've been for 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 sponsor really? i've done woman very i see it personally so far. i mean the administration that was born in the conference it was built 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 watching

while another news today, a state of emergency of wildfires has been expanded to cover 2 vast regions in eastern russia. 6 most covered, you could hear the weeks that spread to the neighboring screech, and the 5, the threatening doesn't villages the now with several having to be evacuated this week on cross gave me with the red one. those are fires. a 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 cover? about 150 square kilometers or 150000 hector's. there was

a huge bar here, but we have already put it out. it was here. we drove the fire 100 kilometers from me. it's just we're running and driving, trying to find the fire, but the shift fast and the wind an open escape. sometimes they move one kilometer in each direction. you have everything sort of you ask where is and fire that you're told everywhere. this how you get burned. it's a total nightmare. i've never seen it as bad as this before i look like a smarter. so where is 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 epicenter. i can't even breathe 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 a forest. mm mm . ah. what else? what can we were told the summer would be the same as usual, more arid? that's understandable because it happens every 5 to 10 years. we've been preparing for this, but what we have now is the tri, somewhere in history. we could not imagine this. this is a very serious challenge. me me let me

. ah, ah. without coming up this saturday, the scottish government offers new guidance, claiming the children as young as 4 or able to decide their gender identity without parents consent. we'll talk you through that off the break. the ah ah ah ah ah ah,

i will. i will join me every thursday on the alex silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the the news. ah. again, according to new guidance, published by the scottish government children as young as for are able to change

that name agenda at school, claiming that it's possible to come out as transgender at any age of schools have been recommended to support pupils if they want to transition without the parent's consent, it means that trans children should be able to use which have a lot of tray or changing room. they so choose now to help the kids better understand that gender identity. schools have also been told to suggest neutral books and uniforms. but activist marion colder thinks it's a dangerous path to dread. this is inherently flawed. it's true of id. oh geez, which is the fishing on the lobbying groups which helped right this, this document 4 year old has no idea what the gender is very kind of easily influenced. and the very easily influenced. ready by adults and what they say around them. so gradually putting kids in boxes, that's an age of 4 years old and not just saying, oh, well it's boy and you're like, you're playing with those. maybe you're actually trump. these are very dangerous ideologies that we're actually, we're going in and i'm sort of being progressive,

actually very me. but the scottish government says the children are happy and learn more at school when they feel safe, respected, and included whenever they decide to transition is how broadcast from former british mp george callaway season. the nationalist government here frustrated by its failure to achieve its primary goal. the breakup of brits on the independence of scotland has made our turn to matter, 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 and 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 canada of breaking international law over the sale of weapons to saudi arabia. a report from 2 organizations also states that canada violated an alms treaty and humanitarian rights in regard to the conflict in yemen . we spoke with report co author, kelsey gallagher. we endeavored to not only analyze but refute the findings of canada's report and come to the conclusion that kansas export of l. a. v. 's and other canadian made weapons to saudi arabia is actually in contravention of

kansas legal obligations under the arms trade treaty to which candidate has been a safe party for a couple of years now. canada cannot permit the export of weapons to a recipient where there is a substantial risk that that recipient is going to use those weapons in contravention of human rights to facilitate human rights abuses. 2019 canada exported nearly $3000000000.00 worth of weapons to the gulf. monica a very gay, but also signed up for an international arms treaty. and despite global pressure on the saudis, over the assassination of washington post column mister malika shoji in 2020 canada, still raked at around $1300000000.00 in weapons deals. but canadian leaders insists the strong control systems in place and that there's no risk of rights violations. all this of course, is centers around the ongoing complex in the oven, where who the rebels are over through the government are up against the

multinational coalition, led by saudi arabia. more than 200000 yemen have died since that conflict started in 2014. 4000000 have been displaced in tens of thousands on the brink of starvation, and what's frequently described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster tells you. got to go says that the sales from canada facilitate the ball, but 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, jose substantial risk of facilitating that conflict. and that is not just our assessment. in fact, that's actually based on the assessment of the group, the un group of eminent expert 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 that should use for now thanks for watching more great programs on the way for you this weekend. i'll be back here though to update you in just over half an hour to see you then. me the me. one of the worst in mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas. where many say elected officials are controlled by casino learners. the vegas shooting revealed what the l v n p d really is. and now it's part of the machine to the american public barely remembers that it happened, but just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed the true

colors when the pen demik hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to care on goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people vice could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. the the, the the

max size or this is the kaiser report. you know, stacy, i was thinking about the fact that 1980 is the levers buyouts of those days. and the idea of going private, this all become germane to what we're speaking about. well, 50 years later. remember, we're heading right into the 50 year anniversary of the great reset of $971.00, which was the nixon shock when president nixon took the us off the gold standard. he announced that late at night on a sunday night, august 15th august 16th we were off. right. so we're yet again starting another great reset, i believe. and in this reset, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. they've already told us what it's going to be right for every for seller, there's a buyer, black rock. so this is a wall street journal article that i was referring to here. max under the eviction

band. many smaller landlords have struggled to collect their monthly rent checks, and some have gone into forbearance on their mortgages. so were extending yet again this more or to our am perhaps illegally the according to the supreme court. and, you know, a lot of the smaller landlords are not having a good time of it because obviously they haven't been paid for over 1415 months now . so they're defaulting on their mortgage. right, right. so to get back to my $980.00 analogy of the leverage buyouts and going private during that time, it was jackson barnum, lambert, and michael milken and they kind of invented the original issue junk bond. and they terrorized boardrooms across america by tapping into the pension fund market and buying out companies that would quote go private. right? these are probably less the companies they would be go private, se, ron perlman and other corporate raiders as they were noun. were out there gobbling up. so now flash forward in 2021. and here's blackstone essentially taking americas

real estate market private. and they're using similar accounting tricks and financial master nations in the form of the 0 percent interest rate available only to them. and then getting their government bodies to foreclose on property owners by concocting a scandal and a pandemic related policy nightmare. and in a fact stealing like they did in the 2008. so prime crisis like they did post. hurricane katrina in the 9th ford in new orleans. they are the e let the wall street people and, and they steal everything. you mentioned blackstone and they are indeed a huge, private equity firm in the retail in the, you know, residential real estate market across the world in particular was pointing about black rock. black rock is also really getting big into they're the ones buying up 80000 homes at a time at the moment. of course they are.
