[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, top headlines are, what are the national are rocket strike in a residential area of cobbled kills that lead to 6 people with more injured pentagon officials are saying a u. s. drones try to bomb laden truck carrying suicide bombers to the airport. meanwhile, the kind of deploy extra security cobble airport following horrific scenes earlier this week when a suicide bloss claimed at least a 170 lives, including 13 us marines and hundreds of people who are also left injured.

following 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spend on the veterans voice, their anger and how the situation of the country has unruffled so far. just even invading up dana fan was radio taylor. historically no one has ever able to conquer up dennis. we're just going to continue to make the same big mistake and we're just being used for the will of the m i. c. and that's the news. well, i will talk stories of the week and the big headlines old today. welcome to the weekly. this is our t international. so an explosion has killed now up to 6 people in the african capital campbell, including 4 children. this is all according to local reports of the us military has confirmed that a carried out a drone strike, although they have not so far acknowledged any casualties. according to the

pentagon officials, a bomb laden truck, which destroyed carrying several suicide bombers and the direction of kabul airport . and this, of course, comes 3 days after a suicide bombing at that same airport. and just 2 days before the us pull out deadline with all the latest. now ortiz, but i guess there has this report from the gun capital. it has now been confirmed that this was indeed a nash 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 i. d, provis explosive device of suicide vehicle that potentially could have been driven towards the airport and designated that it has been very ted here in capital. since that terror attack at the airport 2 days ago where the suicide bomber detonated as best at the north gate of capital airport,

causing pandemonium. 13 american troops parish, the 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 the allies to get out of of got a sod unless they want to risk confrontation with the tyler by the taliban has made that very clear. as the evacuation backs wraps up, the situation here is ted ted 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 we spoke earlier with amir or, and defense and political commentator about this us drones strike and cobble, he said, any such operation carries the risk of severe collateral damage. it's a painful morrow,

an 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 heating 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 book this is what we are expecting to see in the months of perhaps years ahead, as probably tries to rule the country volleyball. he's only the most power to militia or organization around not the only one. i c k. he's challenging the suicide bombing at campbell airport. let the 170 dead hundreds injured, with many needing hospital treatment. a number do remain in critical condition. we had

a chance to speak to one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the visit, the for us invited us to come near the door. i was near the gate when the explosion occurred. i saw myself fall into the ground and when i stood up, i told the dod last one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. let's get more details on this right now here on the channel. artie international ask on journalists brill outside was joining us here on the evening program. great to see you today though. i'm very bad news. indeed the us, it's calling this a defensive strike targeting isis k. although there are now multiple reports, confirming the civilians were killed, including children. it's a residential area. this sounds like rather heavy collateral damage. well, it is the 1st time that the americans are carrying out a drawn strike inside the city of chicago. not very far from where the forces are

stationed. it alone tells you what is the end result after 20 years of investment in blood and treasure. this is what failure exactly looks like. on the lam exceed the strength of it. the lead talary of the group there was always in debate. the thought about him was indeed fighting against a room in the eastern provinces of canada and then got hot. the americans had been helping the taliban. few years ago when the taliban were passing on exact locations of the ice k members over the radios in the americans would carry out your strikes . i remember in the eastern province of the afghan government, at least 3 years ago, was also providing safe corridors in safe passage to taliban fighters and leaders. so it was dubbed, at that time by former one officials sarcastically, as a counterterrorism corporation between the americans and the taliban over the fight

against ice k p. but this is a group that had thousands of fighters and commanders inside of one gym and wherever the taliban went in and the doors of those presidents all can be allowed everyone to go out, including members of the islamic state. the group has been training and more valleys in districts, in eastern time than those when they have an ample supply of weapons. glad suicide attackers. they have been having access to official resources like a top mine in the eastern province of mingo hard. they were also involved in the selling of semi precious stones as well as the timbers smuggling and pine nuts to sickly. and there are patients, but the group was also getting money from places like here in iraq over the years. so it doesn't remain an extremely important one. but there's also the presence of

high that there's also the presence of thousands of foreign fighters, even with organizations like the lamp movement of those backs than these foreign fighters have been fighting alongside this all alone for 20 plus years. they have married look the need to speak the language. so this is the massive obstacle down the road. but i want to ask you talk about the various factions that have been fighting with the taliban, for example, over the past 2 decades. obviously with the, with the u. s. withdrawal, it seems some saying that taliban have essentially vacuumed up other various factions of people willing to fight. a biden, of course, said a few days ago that they will be revenge essentially for those behind the cobbled airport attack. now we see this strike in a residential area, taking out some ice k members, but also children as well. is it possible now that ice k or isis members can now announce their revenge for this strike? and so we're just going to have a renewed back and forth of revenge between america with drones strikes and ices

with some sort of bombing attacks. well, it is like said, has carried out some of the most deadliest and brutal attacks in the city of cobble . but this time it is happening under the rule of the taliban. we have to remember the air strikes today and cobble in the previous one in the city of july, you know, inside the city or taking place. you know, when the taller bomb are in power. so one has to really wonder if it is a new chapter of cooperation between the american taliban on this fight, or if these attacks are taking place without the agreement of the taliban. but either way, the road ahead for some quiet, tragically, is one of economic hardships is one of uncertainty and fear prevailing as well as bloodshed, as we saw with the very deadly attacks outside of the home. because they don't actually airport. that's all i'm on that always been very item and they could deal

with the extent that they had captured all of the concrete and they could bring security. and now the challenge is to the taliban room to taliban government because taliban are normal. the shadow government. so we will have to see how events and formed in the future that so let's talk about the flash point of kale. so over the week of the couple international airport, obviously you and i've been covering this now for the past week. the kale with hundreds and hundreds of people trying to flee the country and planes coming in for these heavy events. what is the situation at the campbell international airport right now? do you still have hundreds of people trying to find a place to sleep on the ground? are they still trying to find evacuation slides out of the country? the numbers of dropped significantly because of the attack and also because of the taliban restrictions and extra deployment of their soldiers. but let's also bear in mind that this evacuation takes place in the 11th hour. this is

a very hasty effort and still thousands and thousands of ones incompetent across the country were eligible for such resettlement schemes are stuck inside their homes. they fear that they leave their homes and they make it to the airport. their lives will be at risk. so we will have to see how the united states of america, in other words, the country, will hon or the promises that they've made with then i want to war allies. i think it's equally true that they are facing a massive challenge as well. from here on how can they form a government? how can they transition from fighting into governance as we see their operating in a vacuum and even for an airport like how many cars the international airport, which has been one, it's on gateway to the world. how can they make it opperation and for commercial flight? how can they assure airlines, you know, due to fly back and it's safe because i remember the,

the private company with international credentials and scanners worth millions of dollars to specifically, you know, make, cobble, secure as an airport. so airlines can fly in and out in all of those people are gone. so the challenge for the dollar bon is immense. and you know, like we saw reports from call that bigger number of people who are outside of the new cobbled bank. people are still waiting for cash, the central bank of instructed all the private bank to issue $200.00 to each person per week so that people can buy food commodities, another necesary items. so one is son is literally bankrupt. you know, there's no cash. and with international sanctions, with lack of commitment, it's financial commitment. it does look like i want to stand quiet tragically, heading towards more economic hardships. i'm local that can join us, but our side was joining us live here when asi international. we appreciate your time. we'll be speaking to you again soon. i'm sure well i see it's k,

the islamic state splinter group behind thursday's, bombings is active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan launched a stoppage campaign of bloodshed when it was 1st founded in 2015. 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 in 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 byproduct 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 camped camp chapman, 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 would know the fleming state of iraq and syria, right. isis, which was this group that took over in 2014, 2015, big swats of iraq. and. and by the way, who were able to do that because of massive amounts of 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'd 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. the 13 troops

killed in thursday's bombing with the 1st deaths of us personnel in afghanistan in 18 month son, one of the largest daily death poles in a decade. a 10 of the service member from the camp pendleton military base in california. dozens of people have been laying flowers of the entrance to the side. and the dead comprised of 9 marines and a sailor, most of them in the early twenties and to pendleton bases home to the 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the cool. and those paying their respects, including relatives of the dead express, their sorrow and frustration, and the tragic turn of events. government let him down the leaders. and she could feel this through with, through bid mission at this point and tell him to send them in like that. you never wanna, you never want to see something like that happen. and so that's, that's,

that's our break. 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 with, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, it's the scene or ami veterans voicing their anger at how the current situation has played out. we heard from 2 ex servicemen. the real failure of this war enough can expand or whatever you want to call it. 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 yeah, so of course i think, i think not pulling out of just even invading dennis. sam was a radius taylor. historically no one has been ever able to conquer up down. people are offset with people i talked to r a re it's completely botched. there is no. busy ready political will,

and there is still americans trapped 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. i still to come here on the program on off the international. committing crimes behind bond would have a growing problem of transgender convicts, abusing fellow inmates and women's personal and more. it's the weekly rebecca, just among

the the ah, me rather driven by a rumor shaped by those in

me the dares. things we dare to ask me. 020 minutes past the hour. here in moscow we were turn out to a story we feel deserves more attention than it's getting elsewhere. the latest of a series of reports, we are looking at the problem of transgender convicts abusing female inmates in prison, a growing number of women, so their lives have been tied into a living hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger, offer a predatory male offender who claimed to be id, identifying as

a woman was sent to prison. the walk in and in have inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re some with me for women really the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption, but it provides protection from age and habitat is be mean the want to be one day telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get his name. it was super weird. all the rooms were uncomfortable, shalon and the house was him and everything. he tried to tell me he was in love with me. it was weird. he asked me to read for him and the girl instead of making out with her and feeling her out well, i was there he breck,

how many girls he and he also brag about taking the girls virginity in the library, to give details, as well as the air when it, when they're worth your season there, it was in the living room due in count i couldn't eat after the races are inside women's jail. raising our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable. women who have no voice, so platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may read this. the correctional service of canada told us here at auto that it provides a safe and secure environment in prisons and does not to tolerate sexual corrosion and violence. earlier my colleagues, jessica taylor spoke to activist a heather mason who shed more light on that story in canada and described her own experience of abuse in prison. oh,

the last thing i want to do is get a sense of your time inside. and specifically, how trans inmates affected your experience? i was incarcerated with trans individual's intervention. that was the 1st time i came across it. and then again, when i went to the federal and that 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 lot that was trans inmates living in the compound with you? well, i was actually really freaked 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 guards 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 the federal and i was told that there are men on compound with us, i was blown away. i didn't believe it. 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 the 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 discriminated against

their identity or their expression. and even the one, but do get denied training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system for correctional service canada. and when their complaint is 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 it's 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? yes. some of my friends were like, pushed up against the wall in the laundry room and had time to shut down their throats. they've had their breasts or their touch, actual comments. a few of them have been sexually assaulted. so i speak to a lot of women that have been incarcerated, and the stories are very similar, same a 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 don't need to undergo any sod, 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? me answer 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, 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 returns. 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 in men's institutions that 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 tonight at one row, a transgender woman in enjoy who was transferred from a mens prison to a women's facility bubbles off to she alleged mail inmates had actually 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 the

gender identity below was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made. and that left some female convicts very worried. i will not be victim anymore. i have endured 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 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, i got a new stem and got 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 tear amid 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 call me or the next round of our investigation into transgender crime. and female prisons
