[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, breaking news on our team rocket hits a residential building in car, been killing up to 6 people with many more injured pentagon officials, the saying it was a us drying strike targeting suicide bombers, heading for the taliban deploy extra security at carville airport following riffing seemed earlier in the week when

a suicide attack targeted the site claiming at least a 170 lives, including 13 us marines. hundreds of people also left injured bullying 20 years of war, and trillions of dollars spent on the veteran's voice. their anger at how the situation and the countries on rebels so quickly just given invading up dennis sam was a radius taylor. historically no one has been ever able to conquer up data. we're just gonna continue to make the same business days and we're just being used for the will of the m i. c. and that's i good evening. thanks for joining us for the weekly here on an explosion has killed up to 6 people in the africa and capital cobble including 4 children. according to local reports. the us military has confirmed that it's carried out a drone strike,

although they have so far acknowledged any casualties. according to the pentagon officials, a bomb laden truck was destroyed, carrying several suicide bombers in the direction of campbell airport. it comes 3 days after a suicide bombing at the airport and just 2 days before the us pull out deadline with the latest is ortiz garcia who's in cobble it has now been confirmed that this was indeed an air strike. it happened just in the valley just beyond the valley between the 2 hills behind me, that is where the airport of gobble is, the dro strike itself. the strike targeted a residential neighborhood. there they identified a threat, a vehicle board id, provide exclusive device, a suicide vehicle that potentially could have been driven towards the airport and designated that it has been very tense here in capital since that terror attack at the airport 2 days ago with

a suicide bomber detonated as best at the north gate of capital, airport, causing pandemonium. surgeon, american troops parish that dozens of taliban sizes, and more than a 100 women, children, civilians all desperate to get inside. before the evacuation wraps up on the 31st of august, that is the deadline for american troops their allies to get out of of got to start unless they want to risk the confrontation with the taliban. the taliban has made that very clear. as the evacuation facts wraps up, the situation here is tense. it is tense because of the security threat that isis k, which claimed responsibility for the last bombing may try to attack the airport again. that is the biggest fear i spoke with me or in defense and political commentator about the us to a striking campbell which apparently killed 6, including 4 children. he said that any such operation carries the risk of severe

collateral damage. thing to morrow and operational dilemma. if you don't that you are going to suffer mass casualties, but you're not sure you can pinpoint and strike the perpetrator without keeping others. what are the limit to what is called limited strike and been paid because couple s the capital, but being kind of country of god. these are government perhaps i'm gonna bill. this is what we are expecting to see in the months of perhaps years ahead. as cali tries to rule the country volleyball, he's only the most power to militia or organization around not the only one i. c, k is challenging a suicide bombing at the airport left,

a 170 dead, hundreds injured with many needing hospital treatment. a number remained in critical condition. we spoke with one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the visit, the foreigners invited us to come near the door. i was near the gate when the explosion occurred. i saw myself falling to the ground and when i stood up, i felt as dodd lost one side of my abdomen. and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. the i splinter group behind thursday's, bombings, has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan and loosed a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015. the

the we did hear about this group, for example, and i believe april 2017. when trump and essentially authorized the pentagon to drop the mother of all bombs in eastern afghanistan, i believe in the none go har, province on ices k. but the roots of this group and its existence is poorly understood. and of course, when we hear these press briefings at the pentagon, there's very little context as group actually is a direct by product of the us invasion and occupation of afghanistan. it grew out of the pockets donnie taliban, who were a disgruntled tolerable members who wanted to carry out attacks on us targets inside pakistan and afghanistan. one of their most spectacular attacks was on camp

camp chapman, a u. s. military base where they used a c. i turn coat to attack us soldiers. there are several other attacks on american assets. and this all led to a rise of terrorism inside pocket on directly related to the u. s. presence in afghanistan, 6 years ago, the pakistani taliban, which was widely suspected of being used by the african government, backed by the u. s. against pakistan turned into isis k central. it's the same thing as isis. so most viewers with no slumming state of iraq and syria, right. isis, which was this group that took over in 2014, 2015 big swaps of iraq and. and by the way, who were able to do that because of massive about the military equipment that the us left behind, the civically interact, that's where they really got their weapons from. they went into iraq, took those home these weapons and went back into syria, isis k, which is the islamic state of correspond, which essentially means eastern. they don't like the taliban,

they're not friends with the taliban. they've been fighting the taliban. but more importantly, they've been fighting with us and i bring up the point about the weapons because we just did the exact same thing enough dennis and left behind. unbelievable amounts of us military equipment, massive amounts of weaponry and guns black hawk helicopters from these. we left it all there the same way that we did in iraq. so we could be creating a very similar problem. what we saw 20142015 with the other isis. but isis case far from being the only faction able to carry out such attack stuff. the warning coming from the afghan national resistance front, which controls the passenger valley. an area now seen as the center of the anti taliban opposition is foreign relations. he believes the terrorist threats in the country right now is even stronger than 20 years ago. it could be, i says, cables. we think there are, there are other elements plan. the attacks might have perpetrated such attacks against us soldiers and was

a terrorist attack on the watch of the taliban group that says we are able to provide security. and now in one day we see numerous terrorist attacks happening on the watch. unfortunately, international terrorism and sun is much stronger compared to 2001. this is something that the national resistance front of afghan, a son has been saying for the past year, we believe the international community should help or efforts to combat or national terrorism, enough in the to the international community, abandon the dentist. and we saw how afghanistan became a haven for terrorists groups. the same will happen in the international community, abandoned of canada into 2021. there's no pose threat towards everyone. no one is exempt. and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world,

or the 30 soldiers killed in those days. bombing with the 1st death of us personnel, enough gone this done for 18 months. and one of the largest daily death tolls for a decade. 10 of those service member from the camp pendleton military base in california. dozens of people have been lying flowers at the entrance to the side. the those killed comprised of 9 marines and a sale of most of them in their early twenties. the pendleton bases home to the 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the core, was paying respects, including relatives of the dead, expressed sorrow and frustration of the tragic events. let him down as she could feel through stupid mission at this point and tell him to send them in like that you never want to,

you never want to see something like that happen. and so that's, that's it so far back and there's not enough words to express, you know, how i feel right now. but i just, you know, i feel that somebody has led on there and then it's just, so i needed to unnecessary, you know, well, it's seen me veterans, voice their anger at the current situation is played out. we heard from 2 act serviceman, the real failure of this war and up can expand or whatever you want to call that a conflict was explicitly pointed out in the dentist and papers where a lot of generals basically spoke about the fact that there was no mention they had no mission, they didn't know what they were doing there, and they didn't know what they were going to do in the future anyway. so yes, of course, i think, i think not pulling out of just even invading up. dana. sam was a radio taylor, historically no one has been ever able to conquer up down. people are all set with people i talk to are a re,

is completely budged. there is no. busy ready political will, and there are still americans trap in afghanistan and still haven't been able to get to and as far as lessons learned from, i mean other previous words. i mean, if we haven't learned from vietnam, if we didn't learn from, you know, from iraq and early to thousands. i mean, we're just gonna continue to make the same big mistakes because we're not the ones that are pocketing the mit. and we're just being used for the will of the m i c. and that's and that's what i say about that. leslie crisis in ghana, santa falls. wikileaks is drawing attention to past revelations about america's longest war and a series of twitter post the organization republished classified us documents at 1st link to the public a decade. back. then we can found the julian songs warned that the us intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only

a few. and 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 julie and his 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 reasons hesitant to share with the public the unvarnished ground level picture of the world have got to stand. there isn't many respects more green than the official betrayal to one of the biggest leagues in u. s. military history and devastating portraits 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 guilt. instead it shifted the blame onto assad's 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. julius is engaged in terrorism. he should be treated as an enemy combatant. so a psalms put american lives in danger. when he showed the world how us soldiers actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement. if 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 just make 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 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, se $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 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 leave 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 a 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 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 a money making scheme of endless war to use wash money out of a way to base your back into the hand of a trade that in the goal. my goal is to have people wonder the west to may want to bury the truth and condemn julian a 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. still to come on off the international, committing crimes behind balls. we look at the growing problem of transgender

convicts abusing fellow inmates in women's prison story. after the break i use what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for taishan, 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. a very critical time, time to sit down and talk when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't rule out the thing

because the after an engagement equals the trail, when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground in the, in the, in the ah, welcome back. we return now to a topic that we feel deserves more investigation than this getting elsewhere in the life of a series of reports. we're looking at the problem of transgender convex, abusing female inmates imprisons around the globe. growing number of women said the lives have been turned into a living hell by male prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after a predatory male offender. it claimed to be identifying as

a woman was sent to the prison. the was in on him have inspecting the gene in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting a free son with me. free women needed the morning after pill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption that it provides protection from 8th and habitat as be he called me in the laundry room one day, telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get with me. he was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable, shalon and the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me he was in love with me. it was weird. he asked me to leave for him and the 0 and started making out with her and feeling her out. well,

i was there he bragged the how many girl his last week there. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to give details as well as home the air when it, when there were a few of us speaking, there it was in the living room do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the bravest are inside women's jails rating. our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable. women who have no voice. so platform to speak from our government is setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may rate this the correctional service, canada told on tape, provides a safe and secure environment in prisons and does not tolerate sexual coersion or violence. my colleagues, se taylor spoke to activist heather mason,

who shed more light on the story, encountered an undiscovered their own experience of abuse in prison. oh, with wants to. it's got the status of your time inside. and specifically, how problems inmates affected your experience. i was incarcerated. with trans individuals and provincial that was the 1st time i came across it. and then again, when i went to the federal and i was when they actually put them on compound with us, instead of segregating them away from us. and they didn't have to have surgery, so that happened in 2017. and what was your reaction when you love that that was trans inmates living in the compound with you? well, i was actually really freak joe in provincial because they brought me over to the indirect supervision range. and there is

a sex offender there that was fully intact and he was there hiding out because of his crimes. that's what the guard told me. anyway, he was trying to peek into my style when they're searching me. so that was my very 1st experience of that. but when i got to federal and i was told that there are men on compound with us, i was blown away. i didn't believe that. i couldn't believe that they were putting males in women's presence. i was actually harassed by one of them when i was inside, used to get me to try to walk back and forth in front of them so that they could check out my. but lots of other comments as well. and then i was also in the halfway with a male who had fully intact and it was like walking on egg shells. are you worried that there are people who are going to use the system in order to end up in a female prison and then come out and decide that he's a man again? well, yeah, there's nothing to prevent them. if they claim transgender identity,

you can't say that they're not transgender because you're discriminating against their identity or their expression, and even the one, but do get denied transfer. there are utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or correctional services of canada. when they're complain, it's not resolved, they're bringing it to the human rights tribunal. did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you felt about incident you described of sexual assault? and if so, how did they react? so as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are set up for us. so the grievance system and the human rights tribunal, we're just not, we're not taught about it. we don't understand how the system works. and for the most part, women are there. they're dealing with so much trauma, like a lot of them are like constitution, drug addiction and abuse their entire lives. they just accept it as another thing

that's happened to them. it's reality of being female. so there are complaints and there are grievances, but not enough. women are speaking out because they're scared. did any of your fellow female prisoners have similar experiences to you? yeah. some of my friends were like, pushed up against the wall in the laundry room and a hard time shut down their throats. they've had their breasts or their touch. actual comments. a few of them happens actually assaulted. so i speak to a lot of women that have been incarcerated, and the stories are very similar, same of physical altercation. they've never been punched in the face so hard. they're starting to carry weapons around, which is not a normal thing for women that are incarcerated in canada. they're putting soup cans and socks because they know that they're fighting males and not women. and there's

the really, really big power difference between them. candidates, prison system allows men to choose to solve a sentence and a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me to undergo any thought true or human therapy. that what is enough fuel far to say this is in the name of the quality and to ensure the safety of transgendered, the law change was pushed for by prime minister justin trudeau. himself. will you do your best to ensure that trans women are put in prison or prison, more appropriate to their gender identity? is yes. i will ensure that i consider myself to be a fairly strong advocate for. for l g b t q 2 issues and fairly aware of all the different pressures and this wasn't one that i had ever thought of. so thank you. have the mason, whom we just heard from,

says the government has to rethink its approach to the whole issue. nobody wants to speak about it, they don't want to report on it. we're being told that we're lying, that it's not happening that have to use that retrans. there's literally no discussion about it. there is no discussion before any of the policies that were implemented. and i feel like there are solution to this. they have the room and men's institutions have wings and dorms. and they can make l g, b, t q, wing, better tailor, to fit their unique needs over in the united states. similar concerns have been raised. for example, by the case of janai at one row, a transgender woman in illinois who was transferred from a mens prison to a women's facility that was off to she alleged mail inmates had sexually harassed her. but in her new prison, monro herself was accused of raping

a female inmate at the thought of the california past its own controversial law. now it allows trans inmates to be transferred to facilities that line with that gender identity. the law was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made. and not fleshed some female convicts, very worried. i will not be a victim anymore. i haven't do with sexual abuse as young as 4 to 8 and with the rape as well as numerous main staff correctional officers being an appropriate ever since california. as as b one for 2 has passed, i have been living in constant fear. i can't mentally function without fear. if the men come here, please help us. i'm scared just because they feel like a woman doesn't mean the penis doesn't work. we discuss california law with alex har on a co founder of partners for ethical cat and founder of the agenda mapping project

. she says the well being of women prisoners is simply of no interest to legislators. senate bill 132 is, is look at the sentencing women who have committed whatever crime to the punishment of sexual violence at the hands of meals. and i think that in terms of the pyramids of nice, gavin newsome and scott winner and every other enabler who had the largest to happen, views, the feelings of, and the physical safety of incarcerated women at the bottom of that terra mit of needs. when we of course understand it has to be at top ortiz keeping a close eye on similar developments in the us and for the world. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to cost me. on the next round of our investigation into transgender crime,

in female prisons as tomorrow on monday, we'll be looking at cases in the u. s. that of california and also in the u. k. and that brings you right up to date. appreciate company here in r t more for you in half an hour. oh i, i use join me every thursday on the alex silent shore and i'll be speaking to guess in
