today the distressing images from haiti as more than 300 people are dead after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook the nation, leaving another 2000 an injured after shock struck throughout the country as well. president joe biden is to increase the total number of us troops in cobbled to $5000.00 and has warned that any action against us personnel will receive a military response. this comes as the islam of militant group closes in on the capitol more demonstrations against covalent restrictions in france today with 1000 turning out in paris for the 5th consecutive week. and the state of emergency over unprecedented wildfires has now been expanded to cover 2 vast regions in eastern

russia. more than 70000000 hectares of siberian forest are effected and r t. news crew reports from the front line. the small fire to the guys are trying to put up with their own hands. my little piece like this was burned down dozens of miles, forrest ah, are broadcasting live direct from our studios and michael, this is art international. and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now more than 300 people have died after a 7.2, magnitude earthquake has struck. he forcing the government to declare a state of emergency across almost half of the country. now warning, you may find the following images disturbing. the the quake which was also felt in neighboring countries brought down buildings and

left rubble strewn throughout the streets. almost 2000 people were injured, comes in. haiti continues to face the political instability, months after the assassination of president jovan l. a. a tropical storm is also expected to come in the next few days to exacerbate the situation. a striking, just 150 kilometers just from the capital. the quick was even more powerful than one in 2010, which killed around 300000 people, devastated the nation and sparked to humanitarian crisis. a senior researcher in the science knology department had mexico's national autonomous university. he's parallel with that quake and says, an effective warning system is a problem for places like haiti in this week has similar characteristics to a devastating trauma that occurred 11 years ago. fortunately, the time it didn't happen at a capital, mac populated report to print as it did in 2010. however, we still see it's effect and use of damage to infrastructure. for an early warning

system to work, the unit, detecting trauma should be near the, at the center of the population should live farther away, giving them valuable seconds to react. but in places like in california, last week, mo populate releases. that isn't an effect of warning system which would give people time. now switching gears to the latest developments, enough, gonna stand by me as to increase the number of us troops to 5000 in cobble in order to protect evacuating american embassy staff. while warning that any action against us personnel will receive a military response, the new total almost doubles the original number. biden's said he would send in just 3000. this comes as unconfirmed reports. say the taliban are now just 11 kilometers from the capital couple. so the decision to increase the number follows another day of gains by the taliban. seizing afghanistan's 2nd largest city kind of harm. meanwhile, the u. s. embassy in cobble. the capital there is urging all americans to leave

immediately going so far as to offer loans to those unable to afford plane tickets home, and use any available commercial carriers. here are the latest pictures from cobble where locals are desperately seeking shelter. after fleeing the telephone's rapid advance men, women and children are struggling with harsh living conditions and an acute shortage of food and water. mom from all of i came from the northern jo john province. there was ongoing, brutal fighting and we could only save ourselves and fled to cobble, and my mother, myself and some people of the town. car condos, and bergland provinces came here to the park. we have all fled to fighting. there is no food and no water. these families have very worried because they have no idea what to do with lead from the hero, proven due to have if i chain many other families, also flood and live in in that conditions. if dissertation continuous like this in galveston, they want us to return. they should support us and give us weapons so we can defend

our country as we have lost our family members during the case of war. now as african women, we should get weapons and fight. we just got the latest developments and i've got to send with can stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war in cobble and excuse me, couple journalists below sar. worry the fact that the americans need almost 5000 us troops just to quit, you know, thousands of 5 lines in the embassy. it tells you where my son is after 20 years of massive investment in blood and treasure, not only by the americans, but also by the international community. and every time you hear to these countries tell the citizens to leave us on as soon as possible, especially cobble those type of messages. it is terrorizing one. so we're already very fearful of what could happen. we heard

a lot of gotten fired from the police. chelsea area, it's in p d 12 where the biggest prison is and everyone thought that this was a toddler, bon attack, inside the city of cobble. so it did terrorize the local population, especially when i had a couple years. we're flying over the prison, then we were going to officially that there was a problem in the counter narcotics wing of the prison. so you can imagine the impact of what is happening around the country. so it's not a success story. and it's also not the time you know, that the americans could blamed africa needed africa. leaders could blame, you know, the americans. i think everyone has lived down the avalon people. and now we can see even more bloodshed and sufferings if the sci fi does not come any time. so clearly, washington did miscalculate and it scrambled to increase troop levels. to

compensate for that, the u. s. should never have been, and nato should never have been in afghanistan in the 1st place. this was a unilateral and illegal invasion and occupation that took place without the approval of the un security council. now today, a, the united states of staging a withdrawal, a retreat from afghanistan, and they're doing it in a unilateral fashion. again, they didn't use the help that they could have called upon from russia, china, india, iran and pakistan. and those regional and, and asian powers to organize an orderly withdrawal and the creation of a stable government in kabul. that one that might have been a government of national unity or a power sharing arrangement or coalition government. instead,

the u. s. deliberately left mass. this map shows just how much african territory is now under taliban control, including 2 thirds of provincial capitals and the biggest cities outside of the capital, such as kandahar where they have reportedly seized hundreds of weapons and vehicles as well as large amounts of ammunition, islamists ramped up there offensive in april, after the us president announced that he was pulling out troops earlier. we spoke to people in missouri, shot if the 4th biggest city and i can send it is recently fallen under control of the taliban mother and i came to missouri sharif to defend my people that were of the taliban came here to ruin the country. they invite people to an islam does not really as long if they think that they are also afghans, they should come and negotiate with us. or if they want to take power, they should go for elections and make people vote for them. but the only thing they actually want is to ruin afghanistan and our people jenco, especially then they got whole people are fed up with the war and unemployment.

i've been jobless for 2 months already. we are tired of fighting. we want peace. people are fleeing from ghana stand, they're going to iraq and turkey because of the situation here. they are selling their houses at half the price just to be able to leave. i wanted to do the same, but it ran close their borders because of the war and ghana stamped on this number . how much of our life was ruined because of this war? have the people escaped, but those who had no money had to stay. these attacks scare our families because they always happen at night. people cannot even go to hospital just because they don't have money. and even those who eventually go often don't get proper care about. the head of an italian group working enough can stand to promote women's rights, says washington has left civilians in the large so main concern now is to ensure security for us where and the afghan women and children, they're taking care of our representatives. preoccupied with the faith of women's

rights, which they've been fighting for for 20 years earlier today, we decided to shut down our office and hide documents, so that the women under what cannot be tracked down. we will continue doing our job on the cover from home, telephone trip to just live in columbus is from couple things to them, not encountering any resistance. i'm afraid. the total present in the caps was just a matter of days. probably they're waiting until the definitive pull out of us troops scheduled for august 30th before capturing the capital of furthest seeing that with the us and they to withdraw. afghans got the opportunity to run their country on their own. however, in fact, it turned out to be american, the west established a puppet government, which could not care less about afghanistan. and today's officials are only concerned about saving their lives. i think the americans could have handled better their retreat and thought more about ordinary people and their rights. tragic news in from turkey where

a russian fire fighting plane has crashed while helping extinguish blazes in the south of the country. all the people on board died in the incident. according to the russian defense ministry, 5 russian citizens were among the crew. an investigation into the tragedy is now under way thousands are out again in paris, protesting against co restrictions for the 5th consecutive week. the outcry is over, the mandatory health passes now needed to get into restaurants and other public places are these policies here takes a closer look. well, as many as a quarter of a 1000000 people are estimated to have turned out to the streets of france today to protest against the mandatory wearing of the mosque in public places and also having to show their health past monday. this is one of the sweet rallies taking place here in paris the saturday. and there were more than $200.00 that are taking place across the country. we are hearing are violent in the city of meal way

. the police subbing for you here get against protested. the feeling on the ground is one of the creation people having turned out awaiting you for 5 straight. we came saying that they'll be back next weekend until the situation is dealt with. the reading call has been no con, we will not accept will pass. people have also been shouting liberty while the various tech, hard from posters make reference to this health path, being a reminder of the possible use in a party south africa. i've also seen posters saying that this is a health dictatorship and shame on the past. the people i've been talking to all angry or frustrated and this is what a few of them had to say. we don't want to, we don't want to turn terika. we don't want this. it's not. we're not again, vaccination, we're not against health issues. we're not against all that we just don't want to. this president has cornered us into depriving us our freedom. i mean it's,

it's crazy. it's soon, 984. it's for concrete and it's all be done to, to go, you know, in a coffee, in a restaurant to, to go, you know, for instance, many sides. we've our relation on it. it's again, democrats, the institutions, hello. thank you. the bus decided not to take it home, so we have appointment and we need the boat in downtown parents have been closed off to and now for the mom to proceed, there is a strong police prison. and no doubt they will continue to be as these kind of manifestations and demonstrations taken to be st upfront. still to come to the

program, the scottish government offers new guidance, claiming that children as young as 4 are able to decide their gender identity without parents consent on that among our stories. and after a short break, this is our international ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safer

type relation for community you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is truth? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, the welcome back. this is our team to national. now, a state of emergency over wildfires has been expanded to cover 2 vast regions in eastern russia to smoke as covered parts of your career for weeks and has spread it to the neighboring coast region. the fires are now threatening a dozen villages with several having to be evacuated this week. not new team has been falling frontline groups. ah,

ah ah, what are the red ones? 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? when about 150 square kilometers, 150000 tech 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 yet. i

was 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 us where is and fire, then you're told everywhere. that's how you burn here. it's a total nightmare. i've never seen it as bad as this before, so i think a smart. where is the fire? now? everywhere. that's obvious. the main part is now behind the village. i'm sorry. 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. they just can't even breathe here. the small fire to the guys are trying to put up with their own hands . so my little piece like this burned down doesn't. and so miles a forced me me

ah, me just what we were told the summer would be the same as usual on the more area. that's understandable because it happens every 5 to 10 years. we've been preparing for this, but we have now to try somewhere in history. we could not imagine. this is a very serious challenge. me in me . ah, ah, according to new guidance published by the scottish government, children as young as 4 are able to change their name and gender at 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. this means that trans children should be able to use whatever bathroom or changing room they choose to help the kids better understand their gender identity. schools have also been advised to suggest neutral books and uniforms, but activists. marietta called her says that it's a dangerous path to turn on. this is inherently flawed. through all id only do, which is the fishing on the lobbying groups, which helps right this, this document 4 year old has no idea what the agenda is very kind of easily influenced and the very easily influenced by adults and what they say around them. so we're actually putting kids in boxes, that's an age of 4 years old. and that you're saying, oh, well, if you're at boy and you like you playing with dolls, maybe you're actually trumps. these are very dangerous ideologies that we're

actually, we're going into and i'm sort of being progressive naturally betting the rest of the scottish government says children are happier and learn more at school when they feel safe, respected, and included whenever they decide to transition. here's how the broadcast her and former british mp and george callaway sees it. 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 gender, 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 choosing canada of breaking international law over the sale of weapons to saudi arabia. a report from 2 organizations also states that candidate violated in arms treaty and humanitarian rights over the war in yemen, we spoke with the reports co authors. we 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 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. alright, in 2019 canada, exported nearly $3000000000.00 worth of weapons to saudi arabia the very year that also signed up for an international arms treating. and despite global pressure on the saudi arabian government, the assassination of washington post columnist jamal shows you in 2020 canada still raked in more than a $1000000000.00 in weapons deals. but kennedy and leaders insist that they are strong and have control systems in place, and that there is no risk of rights violations. much of this, of course,

centers around the ongoing conflict in yemen, where who the rebels, who overthrew that you have any government are up against a multinational coalition led by saudi arabia. more than 200000. you have died since the conflict started in 2014. 4000000 have been displaced and tens of thousands are on the brink of starvation. u. n warns it is the world's worst humanitarian disaster. kelsey gallagher went on to say that arm sales from canada, facilitate that war. that'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, it'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 few countries directly named as supplying weapons and thereby feeling the violence. does me this? i'll be back with more news about the safe, 35 minutes you're watching, aren't internet me. ah, ah ah, ah,

the i think is part of the 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, just say i disagree with you, i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your adventure logic. you say your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said you harmed me again from psychological way because those are psychological terms. and i've got an enormous problem for politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in

their own interest. what you see in this, these techniques is the state devising messrs to end, essentially destroy personality of an individual lifetime. means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how the victim say they still live with the consequences today. this is your media a reflection of reality. the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer relation,

community? are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah ah

me driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me i think we dare to ask me released video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel, even as steven paddock continues to murder people below the ever

killed. and this coward stayed on the 31st floor and not one attempt was made to reach the 32nd floor. buyers could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely. they had a team of armed individuals that did nothing but a coward while the shots were going on. 58 people died at night and the cow will come. who could have done something, they wire them, but they don't tell anybody about it. i found out about it and i did the story on it. there were about 30 police officers with shotguns and they are isn't going to handle the emission point. now on the 32nd floor, went into the room 1121 of the water watch discharges weapon in the room where they went into the room and they completely destroyed the crime

scene. which is something you all do when they turned over paddock, spotty. they ran shocked the room that goes against any stand that police protocol anywhere in this country to handle the crime scene like a bunch of incompetent. because they are my biggest crime scene in american history at that point. the bottle never brought this out until i broke the story and was followed up by some news me after she would not have won the election. in my opinion, had this information been released the way should have been released in the timeframe is should have been released in the put it was forced to release. you have the body chair videos where you hear officers directly saying turn your cameras off. make sure your cameras are off why do you watch about to happen to be on video showing my body? what are the many crazy things in this investigation.
