a crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier, but admit that it's belated response, failed to avoid that. anyway, we did contemplate a big grey hail move of afghans and others in the july, early august timeframe. we made the determination not to do so because not just african government officials, but supporters of the afghan government in afghanistan, including many of the people who want to come out. now said that doing so would trigger a complete crisis of confidence in the government as it turns out. not taking out the vacuum, not doing that. evacuation didn't exactly said the afghan government, we acknowledge that. but that was a consider judgment at the time. here's some pictures from cobble airport, some of the reality of those decisions in the white house that you can see. there are still large crowds of the gates of the only way left out of the country. people are anxiously waiting for the airport to open those doors again. they've been shut tight for the last 2 days. but that hope so maybe dashed off to washington changed

its policy at the hub on renew initiative. only american citizens green cardholders and people from nato countries are allowed to enter. but afghans who've applied for special us immigrant visas were reportedly told to stay away for now. and that's going to be painful news, not just for them, but for friends and family abroad. the want and data formats got interpreted, rallied in london on monday against what they call the shameful behavior of britain's government planning. the authorities for doing nothing to get their families out of the taliban control country. i say it's a strange thank you for putting their lives on the line. if i was in day, if i wouldn't say this to how they would communicate with the people, how would they find out who is local, who is in surgery. so i've done a great job, but why they kill us? why they can afraid why they can target families really in the home
9:04 am
at the operations such as for today we come in year and they are just trying to get back to us this i kind of share we've, we've had very show what we did. i myself have a brother who is an interpreter, who was an interpreter for the british forces. he was here at the airport trying to get to the airport actually even did it from checkpoint with the taliban. my family as well. so they're trying to get through the tell a bunch going to get to the crisis, came up in budapest a little earlier where rushes foreign ministers been meeting his hungarian counterpart as part of an e q tool offering report his questions. ok. liberal discuss stuff, kind of son and also the west political games on the crisis. that's got a lot to budapest now, a correspondent peter, all of the following. the joint news conference that we saw live here a couple of hours ago high that what was the key takeaways from what we saw earlier peter i've got this done,
9:05 am
as you would imagine being discussed by the foreign ministers as they address the media set again for all the russian foreign ministers saying that he had concerns that the use foreign policy chief had his priorities wrong when it came to the ongoing to ation the global buddies give us the users you for him. policy chief joseph burrell, immediately after the americans withdrew from the dentist and said, we must not allow of dentists to go into the hands of russia and china. if the head of you foreign policy thinks in such categories, then i feel sorry for your country's use force to hear such a philosophy and apparently to support it. to me, that is not what mister burrell should be worrying about you. we must rather look to the against springing come to their country as soon as possible. we'll feel associates. well, the whole thing a lot of talk about a potential role that russia could play as mediator with the taliban regime. so to
9:06 am
gala from said that russia had spoken to all sides enough down some for a long time, and that both dialogues would continue with numerous, we have been helping the african sites for many years. the so called moscow form, it was created in russia with the participation of china pakistan in iran, the usa and the russian federation, and obviously with the form of government and the taliban. and now, after what happened in gaston, on the ground, when a new reality has been created, it will have to do with it. co made the ation cold interaction with the aim of creating favorable conditions for the absence to reach an agreement on their own. well alongside mister love ralph was hung gary and for a minute to see. so he praised russia, said he was grateful for the sputnik v vaccine that was distributed here in the countryside without the vaccination program. he would have lagged well behind where
9:07 am
it is already. he also talks about the potential of producing the vaccine inside hungry. in the very near future. we live us with, you know, for example, we would not have been able to have the most successful vaccine roll out in the european union because we plan to manufacture the vaccine in the hunger in city of the bridge. and starting at the end of 2022 will be manufacturing the vac thing through a russian license. thus in the future will be less vulnerable as well. so gala from described, the relationship between hungry and russia. as a pragmatic one. you said they didn't let geo politics get in the way of getting business done, however, did points out that they don't agree exactly on everything with saying that he has a magician. we do appreciate hungary pragmatic behavior. as with the past doesn't put political and ideological games above the interest of development and the
9:08 am
economic cooperation. even though there are and will be some disagreements. what relationship doesn't have its disagreements every now and again, but the overall take away with the message of for the tire cooperation where she was afraid there was a multiple time fight, both for ministers that they spoke here in budapest. okay. and we'll keep watch on for a minister of robs you too often. now though, in budapest, peter, all of a thank you. returning to afghanistan, of course. and while the taliban claims that it took the country relatively easily, here are some pictures from the southern province of helman, where the locals are facing the aftermath of the militants. vicious offensive, with no doors or windows left in schools and hospitals. they barely able to function, and there's no sign that's going to change anytime soon. either. they, while the united nations is holding that i've got to stand faces an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse and less financial aid it urgently sent. here's what the un
9:09 am
secretary general deputy special representative for the country told us it is addition, remains to be tense, needs are enormous, nearly half of the population are either half of the children or 5 orientation phase of fission, basically, or very little to nothing to eat and almost 600000 people, pleased by the dog continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we probably did not factor in is how much of the natural disasters the drought and the dates are contributing in the, in the driving of what is happening over the years. we have holders for so much on the drive and how much we focused on the education, how much we focus on health, how much social will be moving forward. we should do that every time that
9:10 am
the significant attention to which are watching the center of the news, the political issues do to do that somehow. forget about the social needs of the people. the limitation right now is funding limitation right now is the consequences or the military conflicts. but the most important thing right now for wind farms so that we can for awhile, partial systems to the people, stuff. everyone on this done, it isn't just on a global issue. i've gotten respond ease and we how they're looking at the international community. all we have now, it was a live site. they were really stuck on the help will determine so many things in the future that they may be who got the woman that meeting the
9:11 am
natural disasters. the active development everyone a d k also pull out from afghanistan wiki leaks, his drawing attention to its past revelations about america as long as wall in a series of twitter posts the organization republished classified us documents, which it 1st linked to the public a decade ago. back that wiki leaks found a julian a song warned that the u. s. intervention will be an endless war. beneficial to only a few of corresponded donnel quarter, takes up the story. the swift fall of the afghan capital cast a dark shadow over every sacrifice made in the fight against the taliban. but there is a man who tried to stop things from going down this road. his name is julian, a son. she's the co founder of wiki leaks, and behind one of the biggest revelations in u. s. military history. in 2010, the whistleblower group released the afghan papers more than 90. 1000 leaked reports that shed light on the grim affairs. the u. s. was for understandable
9:12 am
reasons hesitant to share with the public the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of gunner stan that is in many respects more green than the official portray of one of the biggest leagues in u. s. military history. a devastating portrayed to the feeling was enough for me. when these reports came into the public eye, washington's reaction was not to say, sorry, or even to try to deflect a guilt. instead, it shifted the blame on to assange, calling him a criminal for apparently putting american lives in danger. wiki lakes walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. it is an attack on the international community.
9:13 am
julie, this is engaged in terrorism. you should be treated as an enemy combatant. so put american lives in danger when he showed the world how us soldiers actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement as a case by case level in a death more than 20000 people in afghanistan. and more than 108000 people in iraq . and so when you want to distract from this, you display the same accusation to the, to the person that is making accusation against you. what do you, leaks determined that the 2006 operation medusa resulted in one of the highest civilian death tolls of the war? despite the shocking circumstances surrounding the event, it was poorly investigated. an american soldier was killed. they called in an ac 130 gunship. this is a c 130 cargo, refitted with canons on the side. it circled overhead and rained down shells the warlock say $181.00 enemy were killed. the logs also say there were no wounded or
9:14 am
captured, it was a significant massacre. the afghan papers go on to suggest that the cover ups began with those actually carrying out the slaughter us soldiers reporting on their own actions appear to lump civilian deaths with the number of insurgency had killed. wiki leaks, revelations also shed light on special task force. 373, and a lead unit task with hunting down taliban leaders. many times though, they were involved in the killing of civilian men, women, and children, and washington later trying to water down the situation with misleading information about what happened. one example of this was when the task force fired rockets set of compound quoting nefarious activity there, but it was apparently not the case. it does appear to be evidence of all crimes in this material. example is the task for 373 high miles missile strike on
9:15 am
a house which killed 7 children. nato later recognized the children's deaths they had caused, said that initially they had no idea they were there. the colossal price american taxpayers paid, the needless suffering caused the fall of a corrupt, failed state. why did all this continue for so long? one answer is gigantic profits for giants of the military. industrial complex with stock returns from 2001 to 2021. for government contracted companies like lockheed martin and northrop grumman, totaling more than 1000 percent. it's one of many, seemingly inevitable consequences of what a san claimed is a money making scheme of endless war to wash money out of a way to the basis of your getting back into the hands of a truck that is going to go in to have in the
9:16 am
morning. no wonder the west may want to bury the truth and condemn julian san, whose fate is still hanging in the air as he faces 175 years in prison. if extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. when we talk more about us policy in afghanistan with journalists, taylor who deck inform whistleblower barrett brown. i think the u. s. government to some extent it isn't really no fighting for northern funding. pretty people are thing such. it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the government domestically. that the manner in which the u. s. has peddled whistleblowers journalists, leakers facts in before trust him in the office? had i think a ball into a, perhaps, to a, to all time low. and things had non improves and 1656 years. i think
9:17 am
anyone who knows what they're talking about has to look at us as a wild animal and go from there. but this is not the 1st time that join a sanchez was correct in his assessment related to us foreign policy. i think what having conversations about us war is in the middle east and in particular afghan at stan. it is so important to talk about julian authority and would you be contributions? i think the united states government is seeking to make an example out of julian assigned to show other journalists, this is what can happen to you if you expose the u. s. military industrial complex . and if you embarrass the u. s. government, we can lead, showed us through the afghan war diaries and the rapport loves it. these were crimes were not happening here. and there, this is with some sort of rare occurrence. there were civilian casualties on a regular basis in wiki leaf expose that we should be thinking, joy and sergeant, we should all be advocating for his immediate release because this was certainly
9:18 am
public interest journalism. ok, so this tuesday from are you mixed messages from ukraine on the possible hijacking of one of its planes that cobble airport will try to shed some light on that for you among our stories after the break? oh, i use german, daydreaming shaped banks. those in me i think we dare to ask me
9:19 am
ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have crazy plantation. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk me ah ah, hello again. now processing the thousands have so far managed to get out of afghanistan is causing some major security problems in europe. because hiding among those fleeing the taliban are convicted criminals who were earlier departing from the u. back to afghanistan, along with the suspects on security. watch lists frances and taken into custody.
9:20 am
one of 5 afghans evacuated to the country and then placed under surveillance for legend. links to the taliban, the suspects failed to comply with a stay at home order. in germany, half guns with criminal records has been previously deported to sneak back in via evacuation flight. the interior ministry says it's unable to screen people on the ground in afghanistan. the current procedure is a pragmatic one, which means that security checks on the basis of police findings will only take place in germany and it was deliberately decided that we no longer carry out checks on the spot. but after arrival in germany, women hungry also said that it won't accept an unrestricted inflow of migrants from afghanistan. i think that the chaos there probably could have been avoided. what we're seeing right now in capital, in other parts of a garrison, is frightening. and i think it could bring about an error in migration and international terrorism that we didn't want and perhaps could have avoided in other
9:21 am
ways away from afghanistan or washington d. c. police officer who fatally shot a trump supporter during the january 6 capital building riots has been cleared by an internal probe. case has become a political cause, with some republicans hailing the victim us at force veteran ashley babbitt. as a matter of these kellum open reports, this is part of the ongoing fall out of the january 6 the capital riot. and we now have the us capital police announcing that they have concluded their investigation into the killing of ashley babbitt, who was fatally shot during the event that took place on capitol hill. now, according to the statement they've released, there won't be any disciplinary action against the officer and carried out the shooting. they say case closed. this is what they said. the actions of the officer in this case potentially saved members and stuff from serious injury and possible
9:22 am
death from a large crowd of riots who forced their way into the u. s. capital and to the health chamber where members and stuff was steps the way. now many conservatives say the case is not closed, and furthermore, there's a lot of outrage on the conservative side because the name of the officer who pulled the trigger has not been reveal it say there are very serious threats to the person involved. his life is on the line, and so they cannot make public the individual who shot ass babbitt, many conservatives have kind of considered ashley babbitt to be a martyr. many liberals are deeply concerned about this and the politicization of this gas. it's also important to know that there were 3 other protesters who died during the january 6 capitals. now 2 died from natural causes and one from a drug overdose. in addition to that, there was another cap, a capitol police officer who died on the scene. first, it was reported that he was bludgeoned the das. later it was ruled that he died
9:23 am
from a stroke. and after the capital riot, there are 4 officers who are involved, who are alleged to have committed suicide. and is said that the trauma of the capital riot contributed to that. so that's the situation. but as of now, the capital police say case closed no further investigation, no disciplinary action against the officer. we've been hearing conflicting reports on the possible hijacking of the ukrainian plane at cobbles airport. this stage is also still not clear what type of played it is is. dimitri polk try to clear up the confusion area. still unclear. why does state, what do we even made? it seems like the ukrainian foreign ministry is kind of arguing with itself earlier today. the deputy foreign minister came out with the faith and saying that their flights to their evaluation flight from against and to ukraine were unsuccessful. but more than that, he claimed that one of the planes was actually hijacked by armed persons and then
9:24 am
later was practically stolen and flown through iran. last sunday, our plan was hijacked on tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us. again. it flew to run with an identified group of passengers on board instead of lifting ukrainians. our next 3 evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport . that kind of faith and that started all this confusion. it was extreme, technically extremely specific. what kind of plane is that a military plane? is that a passenger plane? he said 3 flights of harmony. planes, are we talking about? assuming it's one then. the question is, where is this hijacked plane? who is anybody looking for it? because a hijacked planes, a serious security risk which make matters even more configuring, just mere hours after his statement, the spokesperson for the screening for a ministry came out saying that basically it completely contradicting everything. the deputy for a minister side and saying basically everything's fine. there are no hijacked ukrainian plains, neither in capital nor anywhere else. the information about
9:25 am
a hijacked plane been spread by some media is not true. according to the false person, what the deputy foreign minister meant to say was the situation and ghana stan is difficult and that the diplomats are having difficulty evacuating the ukrainian citizen. she also noted that all the planes, all the flights from ghana stand have landed safely in the ukraine. and even the union authorities have also deny that any hijacking took place and that a plane did landing in iran, but only to refuse. and then later went on to give, but even these statements haven't exactly, completely cleared everything up yet. because since the initial statement by the deputy for a minister, we saw several conflicting reports and rumors going on around online, some stating that it was the u. s. military that appropriated the plane for its needs and some others reports suggested that the pilots of this evacuation plane actually decided to take a payday and make some for cash by flying. some wealthy wealthy
9:26 am
people from iran instead of green citizens. so at this point it's really we just need to see more clarification from the craner authorities because especially from the deputy foreign minister because it's unclear why he suggested that the plane was hijacked. and basically just the way that ukrainian for mystery has been communicating. it's like fighting with itself so hence all the confusion will continue to try and get a definitive answer for you. all new boom bus up next stuff to which i'll be here to update you on our developing stories here at our tea from moscow. the who's in the military mission against a we'll conclude on august 31st one sounds good to us. all the quote unquote
9:27 am
a young girl and i really need proof for my you got to be a subtle company, the cut, the cut over the water. okay. that i'm on the 7th, not to get a quote to ship a minute. this was the right weapon against the right hand going from but it was filled out through z o o z the the signing of the us taliban agreement. and i've laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting peace in afghan stamps. and i know we still need that done by and as a whole loan . when i was the wrong when i just don't
9:28 am
the room. yes, to see out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in americans love buying homes. ah, this would have fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain. you get a whole and then you will rebel, right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial back and think about the longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just
9:29 am
that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for this has been us on business. so you can't afford to miss, i'm racial, friendship or in washington coming up as the north stream to pipeline. it's interesting towards completion. german chancellor angle of merkel has called on russia to avoid using the project at age. your political wedge will discuss ad bitcoin is surging as the world foremost crypto currently has cleared the $50000.00 price mark. what will the latest rally continue when he analysis is coming up? then china continues is crap down on the big tag as a new privacy law and for testing users, personal data goes into effect. well, the guy, we have a talk show today. so aside right in the
9:30 am
really the program with the late us on the north stream to pipeline following talks between leaders from germany and ukraine over the weekend. while the u. s. has said it would publicly drop its opposition to the project. * whereas allies in europe are concerned, the buying, the administration confirmed, it is moving forward with sanctions against a russian ship. and 2 companies involved in the construction of the pipeline. the deal between the u. s. and germany was meant to address concerns from countries like ukraine and poland, which said they stand to lose billions of dollars in gas transit fees when they're bypass with the new pipeline. even so you cranium, president, villain ski said he still views north.
