while the taliban claims that it took half canister relatively easily, here's some pictures from the southern province of helman, where the locals are facing the aftermath of the militants and vicious offensive. with no doors or windows left in schools and hospitals that barely able to function right now, and there's no sign that's going to change anytime soon. and as i mentioned, the united nations is now warning that i've got to stand faces an absolute catastrophe of homelessness. and economic collapse unless urgent financial aid is sent, his will be un secretary general. deputy special representative of the country told us it is addition remains to be tense, needs are enormous, nearly half of the population are neither half of the children or 5 orientation phase of attrition. basically very little, nothing to eat. and almost 600000 people, placed by the dog, continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we probably did not
11:12 am
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 focus so much on this because of what the driving company, 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 the significant attention to which are watching the center of the news, the political issues due to the issues that somehow they forget about the social needs of the people. the limitation right now is funding litigation right now is the consequences or the military conflicts. but the most important thing right now is to provide funds so that we can or why partial assistance to the people.
11:13 am
every one on this done, it isn't just on a global issue. i've gotten some ease and we how they're looking at the international community. we have multiple life site. they, we really need help will determine so many things in the future that they may be who got the woman that we've been meeting the natural disasters, the active development. everyone bears all the crisis, came up in budapest, early this tuesday as well, where russia's foreign minister met his hungarian counterpart as part of an e you tool. responding to report his questions. second of all, discussed ask honest on the west political games on the crisis. peter oliver followed the joint news conference. i've got this done, as you would imagine being discussed by the foreign ministers as they address the media set again, love for all the russian foreign ministers saying that he had concerns that the us
11:14 am
foreign policy chief had his priorities wrong when it came to the ongoing situation global google users are b, u foreign policy chief joseph burrell. immediately after the americans withdrew from a dentist and said, we must not allow of canister to go into the hands of russia and china. if the head of e u foreign policy, things in such categories, then i feel sorry for countries you're forced to hear such a philosophy and apparently to support it. to me, that is not what mr. burrell should be worrying about you. we must rather look to the against springing come to their country as soon as possible. well, the whole thing, a lot of talk about a potential role that russia could play as mediator with the taliban regime. gala for all said that russia had spoken to all sides enough down a sub for a long time, and that those dialogues would continue was in your mind if we have been helping the african sites for many years. the so called moscow form,
11:15 am
it was created in russia with the participation of china pakistan in iran, the usa and the russian federation. and obviously with a for government and the taliban. and now, after what happened in galveston on the ground, when a new reality has been created, it will have to do with it co mediation, cold interaction with the aim of creating favorable conditions for the against to reach an agreement on their own. alongside mr. law for off with on gary and for him and a 50 to see also he said his country, grateful to russia, providing the foot nick v vaccine against the cove at 19 virus. he said that without those sputnik v vaccines, the country wouldn't have been able to get the vaccine rollout that they had. they also said that hungry host to be producing scott, nick v inside its own territory. in the very near future us without spooning the we would not have been able to have the most successful vaccine roll out in the european union. the plan to manufacture the splitting the vaccine in the hungarian
11:16 am
city of the bridge and starting at the end of 2022 will be manufacturing the vaccine through a russian license. thus, in the future, we will be less vulnerable for gala from describe 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, he did points out that they don't agree exactly on everything. would say that he has a magician. we do appreciate hungary pragmatic behavior as with the past doesn't put geopolitical and ideological games above the interests of development and economic cooperation. even though there are and will be some disagreements, what relationship doesn't have a disagreement every now and again, but the overall take away with the message of for the tire cooperation, where she was afraid there was i said multiple times, 5 votes for a minute says that they folks here in budapest,
11:17 am
amid the chaotic pullout from afghanistan wiki leaks, is drawing attention to its past revelations about america's longest war in a series of twitter post. the organization republished classified us documents, which had 1st linked to the public a decade ago. back then we can make found a julian, a sorry, was that the u. s. intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only a few correspondent tunnel 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 is 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 reasons hesitant to share with the public
11:18 am
the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that is in many respects more green than the official betrayal of the biggest leagues in u. s. military history. a devastating portrait of the failing war in afghanistan. 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 2 songs, calling him a criminal for apparently putting american lives in danger. what he likes, walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. it is an attack on the international community. julie, this is engaged in terrorism. he should be treated as an enemy combatant. so a sounds put american lives in danger when he showed the world how us soldiers
11:19 am
actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement as a case by case level in the death more than 20000 people in afghanistan. and more than 108000 people in iraq. and so when you want to distract from this, you disconnect the same accusation to the, to the person that is making accusation against you. with the 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 and 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 captured. it was a significant massacre. the afghan papers go on to suggest that the cover ups began
11:20 am
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 force free 73 high miles missile strike on a house which killed 7 children. nato later recognized the children's deaths they had caused, but said that initially they had no idea they were there. the colossal price
11:21 am
american taxpayers paid 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 20. 21. 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 money making scheme of endless war to use wash money out of a way to get it back into the hand of a truck. that is the goal. my goal is to have in
11:22 am
no wonder the west may want to bury the truth and condemn julian a song whose fate is still hanging in the air as he faces 175 years in prison. extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. we told more about the us policy in afghanistan with journalist taylor who dot com and former whistleblower barret brown. i think the u. s. government to some extent it doesn't really know what it's fighting for, nor the funding. pretty big thing as such, it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the government's domestically, the manner in which the u. s. has a pedal, whistleblowers journalists, leakers facts, even before dropped him in the office. i think it's ball into a perhaps, to a, to all time low and things did not improve. and 1656 years i think anyone who knows who they're talking about has to look at us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that jolina
11:23 am
sanchez was correct in his assessment related to us foreign policy. i think we're having conversations about us wars in the middle east and in particular afghan, it's dan, it is so important to talk about julian authority and would you be contribution? 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 us government wiki li showed us through the afghan war diaries and the rapport laws, these were crimes were not happening here in their business with some sort of rare occurrence. there were civilian casualties on a regular basis in wiki lease. expose that we should be thinking, joy and sergeant, we should all be advocating for his immediate release because this was certainly public interest journalism. ok on the way another story were tracking for you this tuesday mixed messages from ukraine on the possible hijacking of one of its planes
11:24 am
11:25 am
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, very political time. time to sit down and talk me the news. ah, europe could be facing major security problem as well. processing the thousands of refugees who so far managed to get out of afghanistan because hiding among those playing the tell about a convicted criminals who were earlier departed from the u. back to afghanistan, along with suspects on security watch lists. france has now taken into custody $1.00 to $5.00 afghans evacuated to the country and then placed under surveillance for alleged links to the taliban. a suspect failed to comply with
11:26 am
a stay at home order. in germany pass guns with criminal records who had been previously deported. manage to sneak back in via evacuation flights. 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 check 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, moment hungry also said it won't accept an unrestricted inflow with migrants from afghanistan. adding that the chaos there probably could have been avoided. what were seen right now in capital, in other parts of a garrison is frightening. and i think it could bring about an airing migration and international terrorism that we didn't want and perhaps could have avoided, had there been conflicting reports about a possible hijacking of a ukrainian plane at campbell airport. still not clear even at this state,
11:27 am
what type of planet even is ortiz. dmitri polk has been trying to clear up the confusion still unclear why the state what it was even made. it seems like the ukrainian foreign ministry is kind of arguing with itself earlier today. the deputy foreign minister came out with a faith and saying that their flights to their creation, flights from against and to ukraine were unsuccessful. but more than that, he claimed that one of the plains was actually hijacked by armed persons and then 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 extremely technical, is extremely on specific. what kind of plane is it a military planes that are passenger plane? these had 3 flights with harmony. planes. are we talking about?
11:28 am
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 makes matters even more confusing just mere hours after his statement, the spokesperson for the screening for a ministry came out saying that basically completely contradicting everything. the deputy for a minister side and saying basically everything's fine. there are no hijacked ukrainian planes neither in capital nor anywhere else. the information about a hijacked plane been spread by some media is not true. according to the spokesperson, 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 uranium authorities have also deny that any or jacking took place and that a plane did land in in iran, but only to refuel. and then later went on to give,
11:29 am
but even these statements having to 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 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 you, cranium for mystery has been communicating. it's like it's fighting with itself so hence all the confusion. okay, that's your news for now. your next update for me follows today's kaiser report. me
