ah, ah, an active bomb threat situation in washington dc where i'm on a pickup truck nic. capitol hill says he's got an explosive in twice back to the white house, the surrounding your blogs. you come on to speak to the president joe boys of the a couple more details for parents tried to kill us. both is hoping to give them a better chance of a new life. the new all the us military uses pick out the monthly field thing with being over, ron, for the families that last lot, one to the conflict in afghanistan. and i've been saying that this made by this kind of bonds that question now whether sacrifices weren't say,

repeat to some other things. if you could even do that, a lot of people are asking, you know, was it worse? i question that and since sunday, like when i when hold on like the one half hold, this is off to national from myself and the whole team here in the newsroom. welcome. let's head straight to breaking news to washington d. c. there is a standoff between capitol hill police and a suspect in a pickup truck. you can't see at the moment it looks quite calm, but we believe the thought is tonight. please take me a bit of a break, but that is a gun in front. more appears to be so now what's the situation, why they out that well, a male drove up near the library of congress on capitol hill in a black pickup truck with no place and claimed there it is,

hiding behind those trees and claims that he's got enough explosives in his car to level at least 2 blocks of the city. of course the area has been a fact. you waited on negotiations between the suspect and the police are ongoing for we delve into who the suspect is and what the motor might be. this is what the official information straight from the penny says at the moment. the driver, the truck told the responding officer on the scene that he had a bomb and what appeared, the officer said appeared to be a detonator. my negotiators are hard at work. i'll talk about that destiny to apparently coins have been used as fragmentation to create a big explosive impact with more damage. and the suspect claims the bonds were made with military expertise. now whether that means he himself has a military background or he wrote in someone with military history is unclear. in fact, very little is clear, this is a developing situations, a life situation, as he will show you, the police that will not long, clearly still very much engaged. we do have

a few details about the suspect himself, so let's run through them now. it's a man, he's called re ruth report and he's around 50 years old and he has alleged to be from north carolina in the us. we're still trying to verify a lot of information about him. we have seen footage of him driving to the site and speaking with passion and indeed expletives about a number of things. we've also had snippets of his dialogue with police. things like i want to go home. we're living in a free country, joe, i'm here for the american people. joe, these are some of the exchanges that we've been told about will return to those. but later i want to see what that, what potentially he could be referring to. but we also have not joe biden expect out for the site itself while we heard from a producer, you can see right there on your screen. like i said, the sniper seems to be lying down in position right. but the scene has been caught in dolph capital police are of course on high a lot of the john we 6 insurgency. we also was managed to speak to someone who was

passing in the area at the time. i want to hear exactly what they had to say. let's listen. i was walking on the block because that's where i go to class. he was shouting that he had a bomb and then he threw money out the side of the truck. while that's a lot of politics and his word like i was talking about earlier about this being a resolution about referring to jo. it does appear that he has an issue with joseph fight, and he's talking of a revolution starting says he doesn't want to give bite and the option to blow up. what he claims is a 7 pound tag of gun powder. and he also keeps referring to pay trips on that. he's just one of many how many, whether from again, we don't have that information many times as well. he's expressed a desire to speak directly with the us president on the phone. i suppose get in line now bite and clearly a focus of all this. we can also see from his twitter history. now this is not verified,

but i do want to point out he did mention joe biden on one of those as well. i actually want to brand right at this moment. let's be all student. she's an r t produce. ah, she's in be no better than me. what's going on? let's see. i know we spoke last hour, but i want to get a sense of any development. the police seem to be taking no chances, like i said cordoning off that huge area. how credible do they think this bomb threat is? well they currently couldn't find any explosives on the men and they're still just communicating with him by him writing on via white board. just trying to figure out what his motive is, but like you said, the area is still blocked off. it's a very tense situation and it's been this way since this morning trying to figure out this man's motive and why he would come down to this area to do such a thing. what we also thought just on the screen that we're barricades now of course, barricade no strangers to d. c off january the 6th, but still create, they've been brought out. the police are taking no chances than negotiating with

him. is that any sense of what he's any quote that the handling himself in was the negotiations have progressed in the last hour. well, negotiations are still at a stand so where they were before, but police are still taking caution. so like before they evacuated the area for businesses and local homes. so people are out of their homes trying to figure out just like you and i, what is going on and police have been working with them. but, you know, as most negotiations this negotiations go, it will take a while to get results in tons of motives. now, i was talking a lot about joe biden. we do know, at least from what peers to be a video from youtube channel that he's a trump support, that he himself came to politics has got nothing to do with this. have they been able to glean anything about what might have driven him quite literally to the scene? well, in his facebook live,

which he recorded while pulling up into the sidewalk in front of the library of congress. he states very take government views and as well as asking to sit down with president joe biden. he is pro trumps very mega heavy. so that, that is there to me will not assuming, but we're trying to figure out what the actual motive is. but those are definitely key elements to who this man is and his characteristic. i don't find a thing, i want to get a sense of the atmosphere on the ground. not the air is being evacuated. you made that clear last out. i did not go off without a hitch, was already panic. i mean, obviously this is a political capital. it is also the real capital. what people worried that we might see a very serious situation to be honest, they weren't as worried. i mean, with after january 6 who can be worried with what's going to happen. this is actually just like some seem like a routine evacuation for most, you know, you live in the dc area. so you're used to being big things happening and not really knowing what the scene is and what you're evacuating for. as of right now,

no one's in clear panic or anything, everyone's just trying to figure out what's going on. and if this is an actual threat that was less reporting from sci fi, i'm very sure that we're going to be coming back here with those updates as they come along many thanks. i want to recap quickly. what is going on? this is d. c. were talking about re roseberry in a pickup truck near capitol hill. he says he's got explosives on board, but as leslie was saying, notes, places have been found so far. negotiations are going. you can see a heavy police presence nadia sniper, look at those armed officers. that's a lot of flashing light. he claims that there is no politics related to why he's that. d we don't know why he is. we do know that he is a trump supporter. might explain why he's got a big picture by not appeared from his live stream that he recorded as he was driving to the site for tens of millions of american thompson to leave, but probably cheated out of that presidential election victory back in 2020. but

again, we don't know what is the reason for that. he did also, one point allegedly said he's doing this for us. john is on to lots of people for not just in america and by what they see the pointlessness of the 20 year campaign and the chaos that we're looking at daily now following the u. s. withdrawal. but it seems at least if we believe that the threatened d c might go beyond his pickup truck, he's claiming that he has one of 5, and that for more bombs have been placed around the capital. despite the fact that clearly washington's eyes on him, on the part to he, regardless of what the explosives in his call turned out to be real or not will of course be in a lot of trouble. lot of questions. look how many police i mean we saw on the screen, so there's no way that he's just going to be let go. he claims to have no fear. the reaction, like we were talking about with leslie, the area port and off police negotiating. his facebook page has also been blocked

and his videos have him live streaming while driving to the capital, all taken down. so re re free pick up truck in p. c, capital police, and a bit of a panic trying to sound probably what to do. negotiations underway, what the goal is. we're not sure what i want to do though, is now bring in a guest. i believe we can be joined to right now by no boyce monica, be an american john, let laga on translator. welcome to the program. now of course we're, we're trying to sort of sift through the information, verify a lot of information on to sound what's going on. but i want to get your opinion. what do you think might have motivated this man to make this bomb threat? hi, well, i'm outside of the capital myself, trying to figure out what's going on. and i, i know as much about this fellow as, as you just said diff since facebook removed his feed. the capitol police is

actually my impression of them because i've been talking to them over the past couple of minutes trying to get close. they seem to be not really alarmed professionally tense. i would say they're the recording off the entire area. it's impossible to get near the actual location where his truck is parked. the best we can do is get out to the front of the capital, but it's interesting that he picks this particular time to pull the stopper because congress has been out of town for days. present a biking himself is out of town. he's in delaware of the the eyes of the nation have been on, i've got to stand for better part of the week. every other issue has sort of been swept away side, including president biden's conference yesterday on cobra and additional jobs and everything that sort of landed with a thud. nobody was paying attention to that every, every. everybody's looking at again a, standing, the evacuation for couple and all of

a sudden this happens and it changes the subject. so i'm not sure what the motives are. who this man is. but i know that from the perspective of mr. american media, looking at the situation in the capital, this was a godsend, does change the subject was very interesting point of view. what i do want to ask you, as we know, you said you're trying to get closer to the police, have you got any sense of what they think this is a credible threat? will they have to treat every threat? it's credible. it's, it's in the procedure. they just have to, it's a professional requirement. i didn't get a sense that they were extremely tense and prepared to shoot over it. i got that. they were very friendly. they just basically said, nobody can come in or out of and you know, the staffers have been evacuated if you don't have special papers, you just can't go in. but they didn't seem they didn't seem on the edge as i've seen police and certain other situations respond. so i believe it so far, it's

a very, it's a massive police response, but so far it's a routine response in a sense that this is what the protocol that should be done and therefore that's what they're doing. now just around you, just so you can get a sense of the atmosphere, of course, with 1000 kilometers away in moscow, we can only imagine what it is you're right that was there any panic amongst the people was the creation of the area. quick. was it decisive? so i wasn't here earlier when the actual college congressional buildings were evacuated. but standing here right now, it's about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. so about 4 or 5 hours after the whole thing started. the people are, the locals are jogging by cycling strolling. there's not very many tourists on account of the panoramic. but it seems like with the exception of the roadblocks and the police barricades, it's a relatively normal, very warm day on capitol hill. so i don't get the impression of panic or fear from people in the area just as i didn't get the impression of the police being super

tense. but again, this is just my impression from, from walking around here trying to get a sense of what's going on now cause we caught avoid had the elephant in the room that you mentioned course afghan nest on. now he himself has said that he's doing this for us down as dawn. do you think may be this unraveling chaos, the themes that have obviously ripped so many people's hearts out? it's been really quite distressing to watch. do you think that has anything maybe is related in some way towards helping at the moment? well, if he's a veteran, i would imagine he's probably tremendously upset over award that a lot of people are now saying was for nothing. but again, i can't get into his head, but i've been seeing a lot of chatter over the past several days from people who have been deployed, who have been in the military with been out there. iraq, afghanistan and other fronts of the war on terror saying, you know, what was it all for. and then you have the administration basically ignoring the

image is coming out a couple for the 1st couple of days and then giving a justification of the with all itself, which is not what anybody was asking about what they were wondering why it was going supposedly and then you have this effort to prevent any sort of more images out of couple coming to the media and shifting the attention to anything else that you know that, that sort of anger and resentment and frustration really needs to be addressed. that they're not addressing it on the final thing i do want to ask you, obviously you said that people are professionally tense. it does seem to just that they think it's under control. how do you, i understand that this is just you kind of thinking what might happen a suspicion, how do you think it's going to pay out? do you think it's going to pay out without incident it's difficult to in and then thank was to try to predict anything. but if the past is any guide, they will probably disarm him. take him into custody. he will face a whole bunch of federal charges,

probably something on par with the criminal trespassing making terrorist threats and so on and up in jail. and we will never find out about his motivation because the media is going to area. and the incident will just be referred to your evil trump person trying to blow up the capitol and threaten our democracy. but it will have served a purpose of diverting attention from the what's happening in afghanistan? absolutely. that was sudden voice from audit. thank you so much for being on the scene for bring not really an eye witness account of what is unfolding at the moment. i have situation in d. c will, will be updated on us. that comes in no voice, much stop in american john list a translator could have you want. thank you for moving on, thrawn use our the taliban has declared the creational vs lumnick emerett of afghanistan on the same name they use for the country when they were lost in power for days on from the taliban. dramatic return that have been fresh scenes of chaos that cobbles made a port of people try to flee on wednesday. hundreds of crowds,

hundreds, crowded. rather it's barriers and fences. young children were passed over people's heads and desperate parents hoped us gods would accept them and bring them to safety. confine has been heard coming from taliban checkpoint since sunday. and these 12 people have been killed amid the cale to be 40000 more. i've been interested reports suggested the u. s. military youth, tig asked to despise crowds and nothing at the entrance. dozens of people were seen sitting on the ground without possessions knowing all around. it's been confirmed that us true did 5 warning shots of quote, a crowd control measures. while this unverified figure shows, i found women at the port pleasing with us gods to let the men come says it has to defend the field because thousands could overrun it. putting its forces at risk, america and other western countries are prioritize in getting the nationals out

fuss the pentagon, admit it's facing difficulties. getting people back we don't have the capability to go out and collect of large numbers of people. we're really working hard to get as many people through as possible, and quite frankly, we're not we're, it's obvious. we're not close to where we want to be in terms of getting the numbers through. so we're going to work that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the us was caught unawares and i think once again, they have failed to analyze what the situation was. it really puts on full display, the delusions of the u. s. which after all has been in, in afghanistan for almost 20 years, consuming, according to some estimates, 2 trillion dollars. this money has not gone to the benefit of the afghan people, obviously. and this whole enterprise has been very bad for the american people as

well. many us soldiers have died. the good thing about exposing the delusions of the us empire and the neo conservative to run u. s. foreign policy is that it's going to make them harder to continue. so there needs to be a lot more criticism and exposure of what the reality is versus what are the promises and the, the false estimates by us intelligence officials or the united nations security council has wrapped up possession devoted to issues of terrorism, up the threats it poses to stays off task kind of stone fell into the hands of the taliban. the situation in the country was high on the agenda. of course, among the speak up the session with morality and he does chief of presidential programs on the ground president hum. it's cause i he made an impassioned plea for help, the wound, most inter, when to alert and mitigate. and

a couple it dick humanitarian tragedy. and to defend you and must overcome its usual approach. boy declaring your situation as urgent. you monetary and crisis onto a chapter 7, provision of the united nation charge, and this should include serious and urgent deliberation, to declare cabal as safe and protected by a un peacekeeping missions. this would love their opposing faction to come to an inclusive political settlement while working to mitigate the unfolding catastrophe . at the meeting of the 15 member body, that leads the united nations. we heard dire warnings from the afghan and boy talking about the threat of terrorism and how the situation and afghan, it's dan, threatens the global community. now what was interesting is when we heard from the representative of the united states, it seemed like a very different message. the us representative did not play up concerns about the

situation and asked janice dan, but seemed to kind of downplay the potential threat only reflecting on the possibility that if the terrorists were to set up shop in afghanistan, this could somehow result in the plotting of terror attacks in the united states, very interesting message. we will hold the taliban accountable for its commitments not to allow any terrors to threaten the united states or its allies from afghan soil. and as i said earlier this week, we all, we must all work together to ensure afghanistan cannot ever, ever again be a base for terrorism. folks will recall how the situation in cobble is kind of capturing the attention of the world. there is a number of people surrounding the airport begging for the opportunity to lead the country fearing the taliban and their returns of power. but the united states is scrambling to evacuate its own personnel and its own citizens. let alone people have janice dan, who fear for their lives amid the return of the taliban,

the u. s. department of defense, as admitted that it basically doesn't have a breakdown of who has been on the evacuation flight and that there they are, may be, it does not know. basically how many americans are still trapped in cobble. now, at the un security council, the message of the united states would seem to not really be concerned about the implications of their sudden withdrawal from afghanistan, and that the implications of the world that message did not go down so well with various international figures. here's some of what we heard criticizing the u. s. approach leaving the country abruptly after 20 years was that i did just consider the tragic events in september, the 11th 2001 and for the past 20 years again. this time was full of american. the nato troops, military instructors and advises, was officially declared, go, was to fight terrorism and to prepare african security forces to take part in this fight as well. tremendous human and financial resources were expanded on this. and what's the bottom line?

once for an instruct isn't troops left all 20 years worth of efforts were nullified overnight if no one was willing or able to fight for the valleys imposed by foreign policy. has a gun to stand seems to be a terrorist and drug threatened, certainly not. but it's now up to the new ab going to authorities and the come for its neighbors to deal with that. now the western troops of left the african people having to deal with an even bigger pile of problems, meeting wasn't solely devoted to afghanistan. it focused on the threat of terrorism around the world. and a lot of time at the meeting was devoted to discussing the continuous, more mation and presence of the ice hill terrorist group around the world. there was concern about the continuous bomb attacks and terrorism in different parts of the world. the attacks on civilians and military camps in african states. it was also touched on what would be done about the i feel foreign fighters who continue to be held in custody in syria and iran and iraq. how would they be dealt with?

how would they be processed and dealt with also, there was some concern about the fate of children being held in detention camps with their parents. these children who are held and associated with ice hill. so that was the focus of the meeting. the focus was on the world situation, the threats of terrorism, a lot of different countries spoke up. that was the meeting of the un security council just before we finish off up with us. and what i do want to do is wrap off and show you what's going on in d. c at the moment that does appear to be a bit of a standoff. now what. 8 were you looking out of along the route to hill in the us talking half the pills. so they do seem to be packing up. however, the situation is that there is a man in the pickup truck contains that he has a lot of explosive brown, 7 pounds of explosives, in his call that he who could potentially blow up in order to level 3 ending 2 blocks. we don't know why he is suggest potentially could be a political merch, if he wants to speak to joe fight. and what we don't know about him is that he is.

9 re rose free, he's around 50 years old. he's from north carolina. what's also interesting is that apparently his ex wife has spoken to people. apparently he does have a history of mental instability and is volatile. and she says he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and prescribed medication. but it's a photo of him. you can see in fact, they seem to be taken in his car as he was driving to the site at capitol hill, near congress on the left. obviously you've got the police reaction to that the whole area has been caught and off the situation is developed that appears to be a button for a powder keg. and i believe what coming in right now is up stand off, might be over. like i said, they looked like they were packing up, and it seems to be that ray ray's breed has,

in fact, handed himself into the police. you can see on the right of your screen that has the police present. so the situation last is round an hour and a half starts. when we 1st started getting reports, it seems that negotiations was successful, but they have managed to lower the temperature of the situation that he has haunted himself in to the police. dot is the scene at the moment in washington. d. c. appears that a crisis has been abutted in that big political city. of course. definitely like i said, that wrapping up. but we were speaking to a court producer, but audio and she was talking about the whole, are it been court and off the piece? did take it very seriously. obviously they have to take every single threat as credible what's interesting will says that the suspect grocery and like i was saying did say that there were 4 other forms locates around that you know, was yet whether those have been found. whether that was true, whether it was coordinated, whether he was making it or not, i'm sure more information will come to light. as i said, thoughts re, re, re,

has been handed himself in to the police. what appears to be, attend, situation has banksley entered with no harm to anyone. i'm not is a rap on that police and straight from washington. we're back in moscow and we will be back at the top out with lots of stories for you. so join us then. oh, i i

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, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk now we have easy read. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco have been course? ah

ah me your new mark, be a precursor? there were some what, what it was going to show the 991 of the situations spirals completely out of control. got about you know, the referendum for the spring of that year of soviet fit to vote on whether the state should be preserved on changed it for you with the 3 city on the board. so you have to get the you i

ah trenton easter is a narrow strip of land along the bank of the nice river in soviet times it was part of the mold davian soviet socialist republic. in the late 19 eighties, the winds of change began to blow and just now and local nationalists demanded that they switched to the left in alphabet and speak romanian trans nice. this predominantly, russian population resisted the changes to rascal the capital declared its refusal to secede from the u. s. s. r. can you let me just go by that? but she moved me to get a lot of them get yesterday she mcdonald.
