the top story says, allah, here will not see a man's arrested off the threatening to detonate a truck bomb near capitol hill. and that's president biden unleashes missiles at the time about. the story only split the american public right down party line, the desperate times call for desperate measures parents. honda babies to us soldiers at cobbled ab border hoping they'll be taken out of. i've got a song to safety. we also hear from an american man who would be on the verge of adopting a 10 year old boy from the country, though. then the tale erupt, to fortunately, have not had any contact with him in. i'm not really sure whether he boarded or not . and while some national radi across the country showed resistance to the taliban questions are still being on that the how the terror group was able to simply sweep
1:01 am
the afghan army side of the program. we debate the issue is not the ordinary people, especially outside sick and tired of war instability, an insecurity. you've got some corrupt warlords, and you've got to corrupt government officials. and i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with america ah, rounding up your top stories for this am hour on this friday and moscow. i'm real research a welcome to a man who threatened to designate a bomb near the capital building in washington. d. c. has been arrested off the hiding himself into police. the suspect was apparently motivated by his anger at the policies of the by the ministration. the stories created 2 distinct partisan lines on twitter, with some dubbing him a terrorist supporter of donald trump,
1:02 am
but others claiming he was provoked by the democrats. well, they suspect live streamed himself from inside a truck pointing to a barrel. he claimed was packed with explosives, his threats triggered and evacuation of the area around capitol hill. a during the live stream. he said he was directly addressing president biden and demanded as drugs on the taliban. and i've gone on. you claim not to care. trouble becomes president again, but said all democrats should quit. well, the mind was identified as 49 year old floyd re roseberry judging by his social media presence. he's donald trump supporter. he had reportedly committed a number of offences and the 1980s including lawson. a. you also said he didn't actually want to kill anybody. he only wanted his ex wife, back at the liberal media has focused on the suspects, and the biden stones would choose installed contrast to conservative coverage. he's son christopher told cnn that his father took
1:03 am
a much greater interest in politics after donald trump was elected biden's. victory made him very upset. the anti mask, the anti vaccine, the january 6 political prisoner notion, all of this is causing a kind of online radicalization that would, frankly, i've not seen since my days working al qaeda isis railroads, very got emotional during those facebook lives when talking about the love for his country is lawmakers, they weren't here it is. it is very hot out here in dc. this is august. they usually skipped town. and this week they were not here. with the remote behind roseberry bomb threat remains unclear in his live stream. he also mentioned gannons don earlier, my colleagues jessica taylor, talk to ortiz mallet. she was at the scene in washington. i was here when the capital police chief announced that he was taken in without a struggle without incident. they said that he had a criminal record in north carolina, but the capital police chiefs were nothing that serious and that he had his mother
1:04 am
had recently passed way. the only other thing he mentioned there was no mention of politics. they said there will be clearing the scene for several hours looking to make sure that the truck is actually safe. they had concerns about the propane tank in the back of it, which is anderson or the actual farm. how it's transpired, the he is a trump supporter. key thing capital hell could have had a special significance for him given what happened on january the 6th, of course it looked like he was berating some football players for kneeling, for the national anthem and losing the game. i mean, the trump support, 75000000 americans voted for trump in the last election. that's a pretty big barrel to stuff everybody in. i a lot the look, the prevailing attitude on that portion of the american political spectrum is that january 6th was at, at best a horrible mistake and at worst set up. i don't know if that's true or not,
1:05 am
but that's what they believe. and so i don't think they would. i'm not in his head . i don't know what motivated him. i can't really. this is a bad, a tori disclaimer. i can't really say what he did or didn't do. and we'll see if he has anything to say. but i don't think he sort of came back to the capital for any sort of special significance, especially since biden's not in d. c. biden's in delaware. and congress is our session. so there was literally nobody from the structure of power to pay attention to him. except for the police in the media. we got reaction from 2 libertarian party members who believe politics is actually not involved here. there's, there's an unprecedented level of political division. and we've seen politics spilling over into social areas. that it's really been able to steer clear out of for the vast majority of american history. so we now see the, the line between political views and just personal identity and social views blurred to such an extent that essentially united states has been to camps now. and
1:06 am
so the idea that one side of calling the side, the terrors and the other side saying that the others, the 1st side is, is setting up a false false flag operation is not even surprising. it's just kind of par for the course right now. i'm not sure if it was a hasty reaction during the stand off, but now knowing what we do for anyone to call this terrorism much less anything indicative and full disclosure or not a republican. certainly not a trump supporter. i ran on a presidential ticket against donald trump and mike and so no, you know, certainly not trying to stick up for the republican party or donald trump. this has nothing to do with politics. this was a person with a mental health problem. who did something very, very bad. thankfully, no one got hurt. this was not a crowd of desperate afghans was still amassing around cobble app or in the hope of escaping to a new life away from the taliban. a video from the scene show some parents even willing to give up the babies, given them to us soldiers, they're in the home and they'll be taken off to
1:07 am
a safer region. the state department says it's aware of the situation on the ground and is doing everything possible to carry out necessary evacuation. we're aware of congestion around the airport. we are working closely with the department of defense to facilitate safe and orderly access for consular processing on the airport compact. you was military and other country flights continued throughout the last 24 hours. an american citizens and legal permanent residents will be given the 1st opportunity to board with other priority groups filling in seats from their . meanwhile, a couple of us are practically trying to get to safety. a 10 year old ask and boy, they were on the verge of adopting. they started the adoption process 5 years ago and it was almost complete when the country was suddenly plunged into chaos. and i fear the taliban will block the move. and we talked to the foster father who was waiting for his new son in florida. he says, while the boy has made it to the airport, is unclear. if you'll be allowed to leave either he's still at the airport or
1:08 am
somewhere in flight going abroad. unfortunately, have not had any contact with him in i'm not really sure whether he bought it or not and the situation is a little bit, i'm certain enough canister. and so i did speak with him about 13 hours ago a couple airport. so he was inside the airport to finally and he was waiting to board on a plane trip. they attempted to get to the airport, but unfortunately they were not allowed to get inside the security of forces on the top inside. they were not allowing anybody to enter the gate or whatever. on the 2nd day they did come in taliban have a checkpoint where you go and they asked that question and you showed them your documents and says, my friend is an american citizen with an american passport. and they were allowed to go inside. they are in there or, and they are in the german broadcast deutscher vela claims. the taliban has killed
1:09 am
a close relative of one of its journalists and seriously injured another. the tara group was said to be carrying out a house to house hunt for the reporter who is actually currently working in germany, dw, and other german media outlets approached above authorities to swiftly evacuate their staff from afghanistan. well, let's learn a little more about this crossing live now to berlin, and a very good morning to you peter oliver. what do we know about this story? all those promises that we heard being made it a press conference by the taliban earlier this week that there wouldn't be reprisals again. people like journalists, they seem to be ringing hollow. this fall is the news that the taliban had been going house to house in an attempt to try and find a sure valid german state broadcast journalist who, whose father had family in the area. now one of his close family members have been killed. apparently we also hearing another family member is seriously injured.
1:10 am
following this, this incident involving the taliban. others were able to flee at the very last moment the currently on the run from those same gunman. now, the journalist in question who is being searched for by the taliban, he's understood to be here in germany right now. the director general of deutsch, vela put out his statement condemning the incident, the killing of a close relative of one of our editors by the taliban. and hey, rod yesterday is inconceivably tragic and testifies to the queue. danger in which all our employees and their families in afghan to stand find themselves. it is evident that the taliban are already carrying out organized searches for journalists, both in kabul and in the provinces. we are running out of time on thursday evening, the german government approved 100000000 euros. that'll be used to help aid african refugees coming to the country. we've also heard early this week from angle america,
1:11 am
the german chancellor saying that lessons need to be learned from what happened in the country. these are seldom isn't. at this point, i can say that we have, nor did she sell goals, and we have to discuss more lessons. we have learned from this that there are criticisms as well of the promises the german government has made to those local african workers on the ground in cobble many of them in cobble airport, trying to get on german flights to come here and what they were told was the all families would be kept together. they were told this was recently thursday. what we're now hearing is that the information from the, the german development agency on the ground, the handling who gets on flights is that, yes. if you worked with the german authorities, then you can come, your spouse can come, your wife or husband, your children under the age of 18 can come at any daughters or married over the age
1:12 am
of 18 can come as well. but any male children over the age of 18, they are not allowed to travel. now this is prompted some of those local off can work is the describe. this is martin is saying they're not going to abandon their sons to the taliban. but there's also being problems as well when it comes to us flight said how to merge that the united states state department was going to be charging as much as $2000.00 to us citizens and much more for non us citizens, for them to get on planes out of cobble airports, we've seen the things that were, are unfolding out by the airport. still, it is a very chaotic sensor of activity at the moment. now, overnight that says day into friday, the state department is back down from this move where they would have charged money. usually recreation flights are charged. however, they seem to have acknowledged that this is an extreme situation, but it follows
1:13 am
a backlash is so against the state department's decision when a bad, not a dime of that makes its way to the us treasury, our entire government is report out is scamarus liars, and thieves, i find that fascinating because they wouldn't need a $2000.00 escape flight if the government hadn't made a decision to abandon them. that when it comes to the united kingdom, evacuating those low, those are the guns that had worked with the u. k. forces in the country around $100.00 guards and it looked after the british embassy of being told, they're not eligible to be evacuated from cobble apple. but because the contracts they had were out sourced to an agency so well, balls them from being able to get on british flights. as i said, a chaotic scene still cobble airport one that does look like it's going to continue for a while yet. all right, peter, thank you. well,
1:14 am
celebrations to mark ask honest on independence day, turned into anti taliban protests around parts of the country that says people rally to show their resistance to the new regime in cobble crowds, march through the streets denouncing the takeover of the country. they chanted anti taliban slogans. and carried john to scan flags that have become a symbol of defiance. a women also took part in the protests. they remained among the most threatened and today's taliban control canister on. since the takeover st advertisement in kabul, showing women's faces have been painted over a several shops and beauty salon seville to close the doors out of fear of possible reprisals. some local, say, women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number. daring to go out and fall despite the taliban earlier promises to respect women's rights. it seems. many africans don't have confidence in those words. we don't want to go back 20 years,
1:15 am
as we've struggled during these 20 years, how elders have been struggling. our family members have struggled as well, so we can not just sit at home, they used force against us and broke our smart phones. and they told us that you cannot raise your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women be ashamed. they told the men to wear a scarf as you bring your women here. and there we were forced to protest against them to show the world that the telephone government does not have any value, no, just flaws. it has no legitimacy in the world. well, the 5 days on for the collapse of the country, questions are still being asked as to how the well equipped to ask an army was so easily swept aside. we discussed the issue with
1:16 am
a panel of gas. so despite all of america's fire power, despite all of america's allies, united states was really doomed from the very beginning, did i say, did not understand, but it was getting involved in united states culturally was so ignorant of conditions inside afghanistan that we've fought the war and the completely inept way from the beginning. this is the biggest military blunder and the history of the planet. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with america. this is hurts, reaches. you don't need to have the main to understand, but you need to remove your staff from an embassy into a secure b s. and then leave the countries, but to do it backwards is completely in unheard of. it's been, has been for so it, it feels like someone has, has dullness, with no knowledge whatsoever of the area. a large number of african only people,
1:17 am
especially outside the cities are sick and tired of war instability and insecurity . the corruption of the outgoing west and support the government is not even, it's not actually welcoming telephone or perhaps in a mindset that it can't be worse than the previous incumbents that were backed by the western powers. and without those factors in place, this rapid fonts could not take place. you've got some corrupt warlords, and you've got to corrupt government officials and business men who have their own pockets effectively stolen. the money that was supposed to go to supplies for the military and the supposed to go direct reconstruction programs to help the afghan people, who were they going to fight for. they didn't believe in many of the leaders in the military who were also stealing. and they didn't believe in the government, which was very, very corrupt. this was not planned. strategically has went wrong. if not,
1:18 am
i think this has made america's strategic foreign policy completely irrelevant. and i, and it's, it's just sad. it's just, i've been sorry for the civilians left behind. i'd be sorry for the afghan people. it just seemed pointless the whole lot been a waste of time. but he went to the security council, has wrapped up a session on global para situation that's going to start of course, at dominating proceedings. and there was an impassioned plea for help from a former a to the old gun president i met cause i doubled most into when to alert and mitigate and a couple it big humanitarian tragedy. and to the end, you must overcome its usual approach by declaring your situation as urging you, monetary and crisis on to chapter 7, provision of the united nation charge. and this should include serious and urgent deliberation, to declare cabal as safe and protected by
1:19 am
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 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
1:20 am
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 leave the country, fearing the taliban and their return to power. but the united states is scrambling to evacuate its own personnel and its own citizens, let alone people in afghanistan 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,
1:21 am
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 us 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 of dentist and was full of american. the nato troops, military instructors and advises as officially declared goal, 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. no one was willing able to fight for the values imposed by foreign powers. has a gun to stand seems to be a terrorist and brought threat? certainly not. but it's now up to the new ab going to authorities and the countries neighbors to deal with that. now the western troops of left the african people are having to deal with an even bigger pile of problems. meeting wasn't solely devoted
1:22 am
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 formation 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 ice hill 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 were 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. some of though is particularly upset at the rapid fall of the western by
1:23 am
the government in kabul, as well as the resurgence of the taliban of british veterans and families who lost loved ones to the conflict that some of questioning for those sacrifices were vain accusing. washington in london of watching the withdrawal and we spoke to the mother of a fall in british soldiers showing benny who was killed in a fire fight with taliban fighters back in 2009. he was just 22. his mother, jeanette told us about her reaction to the events of the past week. a lot of i'm very on the outside with able to do that that they've been able to come in and do what they have been able to do. a lot of people are asking, you know, was it worse? i question not. and since sunday reflect are willing to think any of the mums and families that have lost loved ones. they have really been able to comprehend best. i know that when my son was told he was co saved and women and children and the men that he was mentioned at a time along with his own, you know,
1:24 am
and i will be for effort grateful to him. and so cried that at the end of the d has late was given to try meet the country back to start the tile from being able to rule being able to cause head or any way of light went off and within 24 hours, they have just walked in and took over. it's just ludicrous to me, need to explain why the fight is true so rapidly between the key and america. then he explained why this is that? i mean i personally would like an inquiry as to why that happens like this. well, it's not just the taliban that's been sweeping afghanistan, but apparently correct of ours as well. the world health organization says the events of the past few weeks. i've seen cases on the rise and help is needed at the state is one of the world's least vaccinated countries to help such countries. a worldwide initiative called kofax was launched last year,
1:25 am
was designed to assist poor countries and accessing jobs more easily without being at the mercy of donations. but the initiative doesn't seem to be functioning quite as intended of the 2000000000 promise. those has only 10 percent have been delivered. the deadline is supposed to be early next year, and kofax officials say they are aware of the problem. however, kofax also said more than half a 1000000 doses to britain in june low enough. the country with one of the highest vaccination rates as 2 times more than old doses send to the african continent that month of the wealthy nation such as cut out and buffer and receive jobs by directly paying kovacs. dr. moga come down from the people's vaccine. lions says rich nations only care about themselves. no, it's not acceptable. of course it's not acceptable. the whole idea of having kovacs as a global mechanism is that we don't have that defendant, that the vaccines are distributed fairly while of course,
1:26 am
that mod callbacks when they started and decided to buy vaccines and distributed for the whole world rich and poor. and of course, but of course, that the rich countries already even before i started doing that, why not on data? pharmaceutical companies secured millions and millions and millions of doses. so actually they don't need to get to get doses from corvette's bought. you know, they date of birth and got more than half a $1000000.00 from over canada got some installed and they really shouldn't. yeah. under to companies, i'm just like and i think populations and ignoring the rest. so definitely not fat . definitely that global mac. and so far or nearly half off on friday morning here at moscow, we just getting warmed up here at our national plenty of stories told the com when
1:27 am
we return at the top of the one the make note, you know, board is under my lease has emerged we don't have authority, we actually world leads to take action and be ready. people who judge commoners crisis. we can do better, we should be better. one is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together
1:28 am

a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed that the cigarettes were harmless, at least that's what he had always heard. i didn't think it was dangerous. i thought the worst that could happen is maybe getting addicted to nicotine, which at that time it didn't seem like they killed me cuz i just, a kid does doing things. yeah. and the only really like i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out like, oh, it won't hurt you. is it good for you don't like that, like a really wasn't true. the american boy is one of those vapors who have gone on to develop everly. this new pulmonary disease has been linked to the use of e cigarettes. daniel consumed the same products as his.
