i with our help headlights are on our t bands, arrested off the threatening to detonate a truck ball near capitol hill. and that's the president biden unleashes mid files up at pal about the story only split the american public straight down party line, the desperate times call for desperate measures. parents can the baby us soldiers at cobble lab board hoping they'll be taken out of afghanistan to safety. we also hear from an american man who to be on the verge of adopting a 10 year old boy from the country. bright when the tale surmounted. unfortunately, have not had any contact with him, but i'm not really sure whether he bought it or not. well, i've got national riley across parts of the country showing resistance to baton
3:01 am
about questions off building on how the terror group was able to simply sweep aside the african army on the program. we debate the issue. last ordinate paper, especially outside of the city, war means stability, an insecurity, got corrupted warlords. and you've got to corrupt government officials. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again work with america ah, rounding up your top stories for this hour here lie for moscow. of course, this is the international, a very warm welcome to a man who threatened to death, a bomb near the capital building in washington. d. c. has been arrested off that hiding himself into police. the suspect was apparently motivated by his anger at
3:02 am
policies of the biden administration. the stories that created 2 distinct partisan lines on twitter with some dubbing him a terrorist supporter of donald trump. but others claiming he was simply provoked by the democrats. now the suspect lives streamed himself from inside a truck pointing to a barrel. he claimed was packed with explosives. his threats triggered the 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 in afghanistan. he claim not to care if trouble becomes president again, but said old democrats should resign. the mind has been identified as 49 year old floyd re roseberry. judging by his social media presence, sees a solid donald trump supporter. he had reported committed a number of offences back in the 1918th, including lawson a. you also said he didn't actually want to kill anybody. he only wanted his ex wife back opinion on twitter has been split over whether the incident may have
3:03 am
actually been staged. margaret terrorists have to rise this country and the good americans who live in it long enough. it tends, no false flag is trending because of the possibility that some are right wing tried to do what they keep saying they want to do. and it's time for damage control. i applaud the capitol police the capturing the f b i agent with a fake bowman, it's truck, false flag maga. terrorists are in real danger. pay no attention to joe biden, handing the dentist on back to terrorists. white raises the story. the liberal media was quick to focus on the suspects. i'm ti biden's dance, which she voiced, while streaming online from inside his truck. his son, christopher told cnn that his father took 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
3:04 am
a kind of online radicalization that would, frankly, i've not seen since my days working al qaeda, isis. the true motive behind it rose praise bama started remains unclear. earlier my colleague saskia taylor talked to ortiz in a voice knowledge. 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 it to capital police chiefs were nothing that serious and that he had his mother had recently passed away. the only other thing he mention, 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 the center of the actual farm. now it's transpired, the he is a trump supporter. key thing capitol hill could have had
3:05 am
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 trumping the last election. that's a pretty big barrel to stuff everybody in. i a lot. look at 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, 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 tory 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
3:06 am
nobody from the structures of power to pay attention to him. except for the police and the media, we got reaction from 2 libertarian party members who believe politics is not actually 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 so the idea that one side is calling their side to 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 is 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
3:07 am
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 terrorism. crowds of desperate afghans are still a mass thing around cobbled ab border, no hope of escaping to a new life away from the taliban. video from the scene show some parents even willing to give up their babies as us soldiers help lift them over the port wall and the state department. so that has a full picture about development on the ground and is doing everything possible to carry out the continued evacuations. 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. u. s. military and other country flights continued throughout the last 24 hours. an american citizens
3:08 am
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 frantically trying to get to safety. a 10 year old afghan boy, they were right on the verge of adopting. they actually started the adoption process. 5 years ago, it was almost complete when the country was suddenly plunged into crisis. and our fear the talib, i could try and block the adoption move. 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 he will be allowed to leave. either he's still at the airport or somewhere in flight going abroad, unfortunately, have not had any contact with him and i'm not really sure whether he pointed or not . the situation is a little bit, i'm certain enough. 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
3:09 am
board on a plane tuesday. they attempted to get to the airport, but unfortunately they were not allowed to get inside the security forces on the side. they were not allowing anybody to enter the gate or whatever. on the 2nd day they did come in taliban have a check point. where are you going to ask that question? and you're showing me 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 they are in round the german broadcast, deutsche avella claims that taliban has killed a close relative of one of his journalists and seriously injured another. the terror group was said to be carrying out a house to house hunt for the reporter who's actually currently in germany. i thought of ella or another, german media outlets approach the both authorities to swiftly evacuate their stuff from afghanistan. as peter oliver now reports. earlier this week we heard
3:10 am
a press conference from the taliban in which they said they weren't going to be carrying out any reprisals against people who had worked alongside nato forces, or journalists that had been working in afghanistan. well, both promises seem to be ringing incredibly hollow. the moment the information coming out from the norwegian center for closer analysis, which was past the united nations, seems to suggest that there are black lists being drawn up with names on of people who worked alongside nato forces or did anything that the taliban is not going to be happy with. now this news coming out of deutsch valid, the german state broadcast, the one of the journalists was the subject of a house to house hunt for him. not ultimately left. one of his close family members shot dead by the taliban. another seriously wounded other family members were able
3:11 am
to escape and currently on the run, the killing of a close relative of one of our editors by the taliban. and hey, rock yesterday is inconceivably tragic and testify to the queue. danger in which all our employees and their families enough can 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, germany approved 100000000 euros in order to help refugees and neighboring countries to a gun it's done. we also heard from whole the whole from the german interior minister. he said that both afghan people that are being put on planes in cobble airport right now in broad t. it's a germany that they on refugees or asylum applicants as far as germany is concerned . there people that work closely with german troops, also german diplomatic stuff. and so berlin has a specific responsibility to look after them to do things kind it, by the way,
3:12 am
they're not refugees or asylum seekers, but they give him permission by the german government to stay in germany out of national political interests. or when it comes to the criteria of who gets on those flights, there is some confusion. we had heard from the office of the interior minister saying families would not be split up when it came to these evacuation flights. now what we're hearing from the ground is that the german development agency, you pretty much in charge of who's getting on those planes is saying that it was only nuclear families of those who helped to work directly with german diplomatic and military forces. and what that means is essentially your husband or wife. also, any children under the age of 18 when it comes to children over the age of 18, it gets more complicated. daughters who are unmarried are being allowed on planes, while son's over the 80, over the age of 18 are not. this is being called madness by some of those local
3:13 am
afghan workers who are saying they're expecting them to abandon the films to the taliban. but there's also being problems when it comes to flights for the united states or us flight leaving cobble airport. the us state departments from overnight, from thursday into friday is decided to wave charges that we're going to be leveled against people getting on those planes. you are looking at a bill of up to $2000.00 if you're a us citizen more, if you are not to us citizen in order to get on a u. s. playing out of afghanistan. well, the state department has decided to waive those fees in light of the unique situation and the circumstances on the ground, but also in light of some real strong criticism of the move. what americans have to pay to be vacuumed from gaston invited america? everything is free except in the vacation from the terrorist written math, he can read it. i just verified this on the us ampersand of genesis website. the
3:14 am
state department was in charge of civilian evacuations. they failed miserably and continued to fail when the dust settles. it's hard to see how secretary blinking should still up a job 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. then there's an ongoing situation regarding around $100.00 gods for the british embassy a cobble. it's turned out they're not eligible to get on the u. k. evacuation flights because their contracts in order to look after the british embassy, we're out sourced to a contractor. something that is going to continue to be looked at as those scenes that we've seen from cobble airport continue to be chaotic. celebrations to mark i've kind of fall into independence day, turned into an p taliban protests around certain parts of the country. that's people rallied to show their resistance to the new regime. in cobble crowds marched through the streets denouncing the takeover of the country. they chanted and the
3:15 am
taliban slogans and carried giant guns flags that have become a symbol of defiance. women also took part in the protest. they remain among the most threatened in today's taliban control canister on since to take over st ads. in kabul, shoving women's faces have been painted over several shops and beauty salons of also close their doors out of fear of possible reprisals in some local se, women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number. daring to go out as all, despite the taliban is only a promise is to respect women's rights. it seems some afghans don't have much confidence. in those words. we don't want to go back 20 years 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 smartphones. and they told us that you
3:16 am
cannot raise your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women be ashamed that told the men to wear a scarf as you bring your women here. and there we will 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. 5 days on from the collapse of the country. questions are still being asked as to how the highly equipped to afghan army was so easily swept aside. we discussed this issue all of american work . spite all of america's allies, united states was really doomed from the very beginning. did i say, did not understand what it was getting involved in united states culturally,
3:17 am
was so ignorant of conditions inside afghanistan, that we thought the war in the completely inept way from the beginning. this is the military blunder and the history of a half the planet. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with america. this is heard 3, just you don't need to have the military main to understand, but you need to remove your staff from an embassy and to secure a 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 if someone has, has dullness with no knowledge whatsoever of the area. a large number of african only people, especially outside the cities, are sick and tired of war instability and insecurity. the corruption of the outgoing western support the governments on perhaps it's not even, it's not actually welcoming the taliban. perhaps in
3:18 am
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 advance 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 in very, very corrupt. this was not planned. strategically has went wrong. if not, i think this is me and america is strategic. foreign policy completely irrelevant. and it's, it's just start, it's just, i've been sorry for the civilians left behind. i'd be sorry for the ask on people. it just seems pointless. the whole lot been
3:19 am
a waste of time that he went to the security council has wrapped up a session on global terror situation in afghanistan, of course dominated proceedings. there was an impassioned plea for help from a former aid to the old. i've gotten president 100 cars i doubled most into when to alert and mitigate an a couple it big humanitarian tragedy and reduce in the you and must overcome. it's usually approach void. you learn your situation as engine, you manage area and crisis under the chapter 7, provision of the united nation charge, and this should include serious an urgent deliberation to declare cabal as safe and protected by a un peacekeeping missions. this would love their opposing faction to compton inclusive political settlement while working to mitigate the unfolding catastrophe
3:20 am
. 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 in afghanistan 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 in afghanistan, 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 terrorists 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
3:21 am
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, us department of defense as admitted that it basically doesn't have a breakdown of who has been on the evacuation flights. 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 withdrawl from afghanistan and the implications of the world. that message did not go down so well with various international figures. so here's some of what we heard criticizing the us approach, leaving the country abruptly after 20 years,
3:22 am
mostly than i did just consider the tragic events in september, the 11th 2001 and for the past 20 years of genesis was full of american. the nato troops, military instruct us in advises as officially to glad 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 or able to fight for the values imposed by foreign powers has gone to stand seem to be a terrorist and rock threat. certainly not. but it's now up to the new ab gonna authorities and the countries 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 formation and presence of the i feel terrorist group around the world. there was concern about
3:23 am
the continuous bomb attacks in 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 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. that's all about that take over of, i've gone on, triggered, of course, by the us. pull out means that africa now is in danger of becoming the new frontline of global terror. well, that's a according to nigeria as president through some believe the warren terror winds.
3:24 am
down with the u. s. departure from afghanistan. the threat was supposed to address burns fiercely on my continent, africa as the new front line of global militancy, parts of africa have been struggling with a terror search as various millicent groups take hold on the continent. it's there was altered in millions, fleeing their homes. while last year alone, terror groups claimed the lives of more than 12000 people all across the content. and our analysts won the taliban triumph could have a knock on effect in africa. defeat for us imperialism. and again, a stan has most definitely and certainly in bold in the religious zealots in africa. and now there's a danger that with this defeat of us imperialism and gamma stand that the religious zealots will be energized. that is to say, the tele bond is not arguing that they defeated the super power, speaking of the united states of america. and that will help them to attract
3:25 am
adherence, not only in south asia, but in africa as well. this is a very serious scenario to contemplate it's been a pleasure having with us for this friday morning program and live from moscow nearly half past 10 now here in the russian capital, appreciate you joining us plenty more stories till the combat will be the top of the hour hope you can join us. the look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, accept where's the short or conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs
3:26 am
with artificial intelligence, real summoning the theme and a robot must protect its own existence with existence. once again, we've got ourselves into a quagmire. remember that whereas the popular work during the vietnam era and afghanistan is yet another military quagmire. $2.00 trillion dollars, couple of 1000 soldiers died. and for the same reason there was no clearly stated mission. there was no incentive to win, right? because all the contractors are getting fat rich. and so finally they just had to give up the ghost. now we have e cigarettes, i just heard that it was
3:27 am
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 tours? oh, good. i got to deal with a 6 day marathon of creativity ability, cultural festival, and the biggest variety is the competition for a few days. became a russian cultural capital. 28 categories. ahh, from violin and piano, to the parenting and data protection. not used just throwing up over water. sure. no issues. you can reduce the cost of us
3:28 am
we are hoping to be here. they filter when reading or content. the delta games only take the very best of the best. buy. i welcome to sophie, come visionaries, me sophie shevardnadze. irish total sad. that time is the most unknown of unknown things done about its mystery. i'm joined by professor got a laurel valley theoretical physicist and best selling author.
3:29 am
professor galloway li, theoretical physicist and best selling author. it's great to have you with us today . welcome to our show. thank you very much for having it. all right, so let's start with something blunt. you said there is no time in the objective sense of the term, correct me if i'm wrong, and that time exists only in the i was beholder and depends on what that is where the beholder ease and what they're looking at. but we do feel and experience the passing of time, or the sense of something being after something. and here i am like, i don't know, grabbing a phone for instance, right. and putting down it was in my hand now. it isn't, isn't that time? yes, that is time the end. of course, there is time these time for us. we wake up in the morning, we go to sleep, time passes, we become older. that's real. what. when,
3:30 am
when you say there is no time, what i mean is that there is no time in nature by itself in the fundamental level. let me make an example. if i see the sun does not mover. it still does not move. it does not mean that there is no sunset anymore. we still see the sun going up and going down and going up and going down. but we understand that it's not really the sign which is moving. it's a complicated story between us and the sun. we are sitting on a, on a big rock which is spinning. so from our perspective, we see this on moving. the movement of the sun that we see is real, but is not part just of the sun alone. and the same is about time, time. it's a more complicated story than what we usually think. that's what physics has shown that time is different than what we usually think. so the time of our everyday life
3:31 am
is not really nature nature. the kind of me it was more.
