assistant, these products are actually going to reduce these new cigarettes or making the tobacco tours. ah, the taliban takes july about one of the last 2 large cities still controlled by afghan authorities. as the u. s. prepares to fly in another 2000 troops to support the 3000 already helping americans evacuate cobbler developing story from lebanon at least 20 people have died in a gas tank or explosion in the countries of north prompting the former prime minister to urge the president to resign and the images from the tv as more than 300 people are dead after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook the nation, leaving another 2000 and injured aftershock struck throughout the country. ah,

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. and we are going to focus on the latest developments in afghanistan. cobble now remains the only major african city to escape the rapids telephone advance as the taliban has also taken july about one of the last 2 large cities controlled by authorities and joe biden has already decided to increase the number of us troops to 5000 in cobbled to in order to protect evacuating, american embassy staff. this comes as unconfirmed reports. faith. the telephone is just 11 kilometers away from the capital. here are the latest pictures from cobble, whether the locals are desperately seeking shelter. after fleeing the tale bonds, rapid advance men, women and children are struggling with harsh living conditions and an acute shortage of food and water maza. from all of them,

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. the families have very worried because they have no idea what to do with lead from the here are proven you to have this fighting many other families also flood and live 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 discussed the latest developments in afghanistan with ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. and couple journalist below, sar worry the fact that the americans need almost 5000 us troops

just to quit a 1000. so 5 lines in the embassy, it tells you where on the sun 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 ones. we're already very fearful of what could happen. we heard a lot of gotten fired from the police here in p d. 12, where the biggest president is and everyone thought that this was a taliban attack inside the city of cobble. so it did terrorize the local population, especially when i had a coffers or flying over the prison, put in me, was going to fish 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 in africa. leaders could blame, you know, the americans. i think everyone has lived down the f one people, and now we can see even more bloodshed and sufferings if sci fi does not come anytime. so clearly, washington is, 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 does not shows just how much afghan territory is now under telephone control, including 2 thirds of provincial capitals and the biggest cities outside 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 their offensive in april, after the u. s. president announced that he was pulling out troops earlier. we

spoke to people in missouri, shot if the 4th biggest city in afghanistan is recently fallen under control of the taliban mother. and i came to missouri sharif to defend my people that the taliban came here to ruin the country. they invite people to an islam does not really as long as they think that they are also afghans that should come in 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 and we are tired of fighting. we want peace . people are fleeing from a dentist in there, go into iran and turkey because of the situation here. they are selling their houses at half the price and just to be able to leave. i wanted to do the same, but it ran close their borders because of the war and of ghana stamped on this number. how much 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 and people cannot even go to hospital. and just because they don't have money, and even those who eventually go often don't get proper care in the book and on the head of an italian group working enough to stand to promote women's rights, says washington has left civilians in the lurch. so the main concern now is to ensure security for us where and the afghan women and children they're taking care of represent is 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 there and hired documents so that the women under our watch can be tracked down. we continue doing our job on the cover from home, telephone trip to just live in columbus is from kabul. it seems that they're not encountering any resistance. i'm afraid. the total present in the capital is just a matter of faith. 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 u. s. 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 has also expressed concern about the tele bonds blitz and reaffirm support for the african government and security forces are to k, simon, right, gives us his own unique take his america's 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, 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 info actually the combo mind within 90 days. that happened by next week. in fact, some nato countries are actually sending truth back to get their citizens out. already, you wanted a visual metaphor for america 20 years in africa, non hearing the kind of driving us the blind humvees that they just took from the afghan forces. surely washington has prepared his bonds. big got to fight for themselves, fight for their nation. nice lunch. that'll do it. i'm sure they caught your rallying cry on the evening news and laska gone. so overrule president's response to the renewed misery of the average african person is i do not regret my decision . i'm sure he doesn't. he's not the one that can down the power of some ton of bonds. lane is. yeah, they're dragging the dead through the street as

a warning to anyone who gets some report suggests that us officials, i mean cool by surprise, the 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 ready preparing position. the 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 plan since trump. i could win that war in a week. i just don't want to kill 10000000 people. they could, it was, i supposed say some other powers of wisdom coming from the white house include saying, the government should make peace with the town to avoid civil war. 2 lane, american diplomats of talked to the guns in the back as danis. they've been talking

to china and the russians, how they even going to do with a ton of law and loaded in the prison. but when it comes down to it, this is what we spent over $2000000.00 over 20 years. we trained and equipped with modern equipment over 300000 afghan forces, how many more times american truck bombs spend trillions of dollars to win a war that may surprise when it doesn't work. the site is not un report and 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 mates with a ton of baths closer than ever. of course, we'll probably come back britain defense sanctuary that well done, everyone here for the next 20 years and pointlessness and staying with breaking news in a different area. another developing story, if you will,

former lebanese prime minister, cited. how do you read and has called for the president to step down after 20 people die and 79 are entered in a gas tank or explosion in the countries north. a warning you may find the following: images disturbing. the red cross has been deployed to the area to transport burn victims both dead and voted to local hospitals. the number of people are missing the cause of the blasters as of yet unknown country recently marked into one year anniversary of an explosion at the capital port in which 218 people died. it was followed by the countries worst economic crisis in decades along with political turmoil and mass protests against the government. the situation was hardy to buy fuel shortages, military stepped in to confiscate, hoarded gas, and several fuel tankers were seized by people angry at those shortages after shocks. continue to hit hating hours after a deadly quake of more than $300.00 people dead in the island nation. forcing the government to declare a state of emergency across almost half the country,

the bit of a warning. again, you may find these following images disturbing as well. the the saturdays at quick, which was also felt in neighboring countries, brought down buildings and left rebels strewn throughout the streets. almost 2000 people were injured. it comes as he continues to face political instability, months after the assassination of its president, jovan illinois, a. a tropical storm is also expected incoming days to exacerbate things even more striking, just 150 kilometers from the capitol. the quake was even more powerful than the one in 2010, which killed around 300000 people. devastated the nation and sparked a humanitarian crisis. if you knew researcher in the sized ology department had, mexico was national autonomous university. he's parallels with that quake and says an effective warning system is a problem for places like 80 in this as quick has similar characteristics to

a devastating trauma that occurred 11 years ago. fortunately, this time, it didn't happen near the capital populated report to print as it did in 2010. however, we still see it's effect and here use of damage to infrastructure for an early warning system to work sent units 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 haiti, and california quakes occur in well populated places, that isn't an effective warning system, which would give people time to prepare a thousands are out again in paris, protesting against coven 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 pos monday. this is one of the suite rallies taking place here in paris this saturday. and there were more than $200.00 that are taking place across the country. we are hearing of violence in the city of neil way, the police subbing for you to get against protesters. the feeding on the ground, $51.00 of the suppression people having turned out to wait a full 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 today. 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 or 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 out but the re haitian it 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 marshal to proceed. there is a strong police presence and no doubt they will continue to be as these kinds of manifestations and demonstrations. taken to be st upfront. tragic news now from turkey, where a russian firefighting plane has crashed while helping extinguishing blazes in the south of the country. all the people aboard the be 200, died in the incident. according to the russian defense ministry. 5 russian citizens were among the crew. an investigation into the tragedy is currently underway. a state of emergency over wildfires has been expanded to cover 2 vast regions in eastern russia. fix smokes covered parts of the cookie of 4 weeks and has spread to the neighboring courts region. the fire has now threatened a dozen villages with several having to be evacuated. this week in our news team

has been following from me. i wouldn't read one of 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? what about 150 square kilometers? 150000 heck tears. there was a huge bar, but you have already put it up. it was here where we drove the fire 100 kilometers . i

was just upset. we're running and driving, trying to find the fire, but the shift fast and the wind an open escape, yet sometimes they move one kilometer in each direct me of everything, just sort of us. where is a fire that you're told every way? i guess how you could burn here. it's a total nightmare. i've never seen it as bad as it is before i look like a smart. where is the fire now? everywhere. that's 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 4th bird. c this is the average. i just can't even breathe here. the small fire, the guys are trying to put their own hands. so my little piece like this burn down doesn't so miles forest me.

me. ah. what else? 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 within preparing for this. but we have now the try somewhere in history. we could not imagine this is a very serious challenge. mm mm mm . mm. guidance published by the scottish government children, as young as for are able to change their name and gender at school and 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 rooms that they choose to help the kids better understand their gender identity. schools have also been advised to suggest neutral books and uniforms, but activists marion calder thinks that it's a dangerous path to tread upon. it is inherently flawed through all idea ology, which, pushing on the lobbying groups, which helped right this. this document 4 year old has no idea what the agenda is very kind of easily influencing the very easily influenced 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, if you're a boy and you're like you're playing with dolls, maybe you're actually trumps. these are very dangerous ideologies that we're

actually, we're going into and i'm being progressive naturally betting me questions. but this kind of government says children are happier and learn more at school when they feel safe, respected, and included whenever they decide to transition. here is how broad catherine, former british m p. george galloway sees it. the nationalist government here frustrated by its failure to achieve its primary goal the breakup of britain, the independence of scotland has made our 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 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 human rights over the war. in yemen, we spoke with the reports, co author 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. 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 the human rights to facilitate human rights abuses. in 2019 canada, exported nearly $3000000000.00 worth of weapons to saudi arabia very year. it also signed up for an international treaty. and despite global pressure on the saudis, over the assassination of washington post columnist jamal shoji in 2020 canada is still raking in more than a $1000000000.00 in weapons deals. but canadian leaders insist that they are strong control systems in place, and there is no risk of rights violations. much of this, of course,

centers around the ongoing conflict in yemen were who the rebels over through the many government are up against a multinational coalition led by saudi arabia. more than 200000, you know, many have died since the conflict started and stuff. 144000000 have been displaced in tens of thousands are on the brink of starvation. un warranted is the world's worst humanitarian disaster. kelsey gallagher went on to tell us that arm sales from canada facilitates that 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 this provision of weapons to saudi arabia was a 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 u. n. group of eminent experts on yemen who have for a couple of years now. stated that the provision of weapons to saudi arabia is not only feeling the conflict the 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 to 7, 26 in the morning here in moscow, it is certainly has been very busy news, and i don't word kevin, and we'll be here in about 34 minutes to take you through the rest and keep you updated. this is our international. what have you with the ah ah ah,

me. ah, i think it's 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 don't just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your adventure logic. you see your micro grass, you say you triggered me. you said you hard me again, some psychological way, just news or psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problems or politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the

i father contacted many lawyers in both canada and in the united states and no one was prepared to do this. they were very, very brave to go up against the government in this way. that night. parents thought of them as heroes. and, and so today, david orla coach standing as a member of parliament didn't really help us that much. the powers that be in auto were more concerned about not rocking the boat with their american colleagues. and they were about advancing a case that was brought by one of their own members of parliament. a lot of this our physical therapy. ringback is going on in psychiatry, the time the knowing had ever used a combination of very powerful drug,

electrical, both therapy, extended sleep century isolation and all the other methods that she was using. there'd been never anything like this where i grew up. this is my street. you see that tree there. i remember when i could put my fingers around it. we planted the trees, trees planted in 1945. quite a long time ago, harvey decided to write a book about his father's experiences. as he researched the legal case, he began to get a lot of attention. the strange things were happening. mail was arriving in our house opened. there were all these strange clicks on the telephone. then about 2 weeks after that, i'm driving to pick up my kids from

a school dance clear night. clear road from behind me comes a car with no headlights on slams into me, pushes me off the road and disappears. something that we really haven't spoken about. nothing like this of course ever happened again, but it does interesting questions with me. sarah has been making about her grandmother since 2009. i'm going to film a video. it's going to be the doctor and my grandmother locked in this dance that never ends. i think of it as like like a purgatory state or just like you know.
