the sovereignty of other countries, the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions more business and businesses. good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. with our top headlines here on our tea, a rocket strike in a residential area of cobbled kills at least 6 people with many more injured have gone. officials are saying a us drones strike a bomb laden truck carrying the suicide bombers to the airport. meanwhile the carline deployed extra security at combo laugh or the following a horrific scenes earlier this week when a suicide bloss killed $170.00,

including philippine us marines, and hundreds of people will also left badly injured following 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent on the veterans voice, their anger and how the situation of the country has unruffled so quickly. just given invading data fan was already a failure. historically, no one has been a ever able to conquer a data fan. 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 the welcome to the weekly program here on the international, the traditional weekly. whereas we are highlighting the top stories of the week and off today, of course, a very busy week with breaking news, rolling coverage out of afghanistan, and more news from couple today. and explosion has killed up to 6 people in the african capital, including for children. that's all according to local reports,

or the u. s. military has confirmed that a carried out a drone strike resulting in secondary explosions, although they have not so far acknowledged in a civilian casualties. according to pentagon officials, the target was a bomb laden vehicle about to carry several suicide bombers, who are planning to attack campbell airport. this comes 3 days, offer a devastating explosion at the air hub and just 2 days before the us pull out deadline. with all the ladies now from the ask on capital correspondent what i guess the f like 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 drove strike itself, the strike targeted a residential neighborhood. there. they identified a threats, a vehicle board, i g, provis explosive 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 tara attack at the airport 2 days ago with a suicide bomber detonated as best at the north gate of capital, airport, causing pandemonium. 13 american troops parish, the dozens of taliban fighters, 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 to start unless they want to risk confrontation with the tyler by the taliban. has made that very clear. as the evacuation facts wraps up, the situation here is ted. see these tabs 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 in the program where the afghan john

listed below outside of wadi he thinks the ongoing security meltdown. and i've got this dawn represents a major challenge. well, it is the 1st time that the americans are carrying out a drawn strike inside the city of car will 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. well, it has carried out some of the most deadliest and brutal attacks in the city of cobbled but this time it is happening under the rule of the taliban. we have to remember the air strikes today in cobble in the previous one. in the city of july, inside the city are taking place when the taliban are in power. so one has to really wonder if it is a new chapter of cooperation between the american and taliban on this fight. the

road ahead for a virus times wire. tragically is one of economic hardships is one of uncertainty and fear prevailing. first ages, suicide bombing, a comp all apple left 170 dead and hundreds injured with many needing a hospital treatment and now but remain in critical condition. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience that i had applied for the visit, the for this 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 as one of the wounded ice s k, the atomic state, a splinter group behind 1st as bombings as active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was 1st 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 isis 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 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 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'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. the 13 troops killed and thursdays bombing. we're the 1st deaths of us personnel, and i've got to start in 18 months and one of the largest daily death tolls in a decade. 10 of the service men were from the camp pendleton, military base in california. a dozens of people happy there, laying flowers. the dead comprise of 9 marines and

a sailor most of them in the early twenties. pendleton bass is home to the 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the corps. those pay their respects, including relatives of the debt, expressed the sorrow and frustration of the tragic ton of events. let him down again as she could feel this stupid 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 yeah, it's heartbreaking. there's not enough words to express, you know how i feel right now, but i just, you know, i feel that somebody has blood on their end and it's just with, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, it seen me, veterans voicing their anger at how the current situation has played out. we also

heard from 2 ex servicemen. the real failure of this war enough 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 yeah, so of course i think, i think not pulling out of just even invading up. dennis sam was a radius taylor. historically no one has been ever able to conquer up down. people are all set with people. i talked to r a re it's completely budged. there is no. 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 be m i c and that's and that's what i'd say about that at the crisis. and i kinda saw, continues to unfold. wiki leaks is drawing attention to past revelations about america's longest war and a series of twitter post the organization we published classified us documents, which at 1st lead to the public a decade ago. like then we're helix co founder julian and sancha warner. the us intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only a few. as donald quarter now investigates, 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 the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that is in many respects more green than the official betrayal of 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 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 actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement in a case by case level in the death more than 20000 people in afghanistan and more than a 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. 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 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 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 sons' claimed is. money making scheme of endless war. use,

wash money out of a way to the base of europe getting back into the hands of that is the goal. my goal is to have in 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. if extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. hurricane eda has slammed into the u. s. gulf coast and is now wreaking havoc in the state of louisiana. it is one of the most powerful storms on record. it's already left a quarter of a 1000000 people without power off shutting down 95 percent of all production in the gulf of mexico. eda made line for just a few hours ago on the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrina. although it's more

powerful than that storm which back in 2005 killed almost 2000 people and inflicted around $100000000000.00 in damage. louisiana officials say hearken either will post the biggest challenge yet to the states newly renovated levy system. we now return to a topic we feel deserve more attention than it's really getting anywhere in the latest of a series of reports. we're looking at the problem of transgender convicts abusing female inmates in prisons. a growing number of women said their lives have been turned into a living hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. and one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after a predatory male offender who claimed to be identifying as a woman was sent to prison. the was in on him have inspecting the dream in the bathroom,

making out with someone else and wanting to reset with me for women in the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption that it provides protection from 8th and habitat. he'll be going to mean the laundry room one day, telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get his name. he was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable, shalon and the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me she was in love with me. it was weird asking to read for him and the girl and started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there to break the how many girls last week there. and he also bragged about taking in girls virginia be in the library to give details as well as 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 races 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 read this the correctional service of canada told or to provides a safe and secure environment in prisons and does not tolerate sexual corrosion and violence. earlier my colleagues, jessica taylor spoke to activists have a mason who had more light on that story in canada and describe her own experience of abuse in prison. oh, with me, wants to get a 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 it came across. and then again, when i went to 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 love that that was trans inmates living in the compound with you? well, i was actually really freak doe 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 go 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 has with a male who has 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 ones, but do get denied transfer. they're utilizing the grievance system, which is

a complaint system for correctional services with canada. when they're complaint, it's not resolved, they're bringing it to the human rights tribunal. did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you thought 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 prostitution, drug addiction, and abuse their entire lives. they just accept it as another thing that's happened to them is reality. of being female. so there are complaints and there are grievances, but not enough. women are speaking out because they're stared. 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 breast or their touch sexual carmen. a few of them have been sexually assaulted, so to speak to a lot of women that have been incarcerated. and the stories are very similar, same with 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 is the really, really big power difference between them. candidate prison allows men to choose to solve a sentence in a female prison. if they say they identify as women. and they told me to undergo any thought true or human therapy. that was enough fuel far to say this is in the

name of the quality and to ensure the safety of cans, genders, the little 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. had 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 been used or trans. 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 annoy 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 inmates at the thought of the california past its own controversial law. now it allows trans inmates to be transferred to realty. is that in line with that gender identity? the law was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made and not left. some female conduct 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 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 a 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 a 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 a 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. the next round of our investigation into transgender crime and female prisons as tomorrow or monday, we'll be assessing cases in america in the us state of california, also in the u. k. the meantime though, your weekly program returns in about half an hour, we are running down the highlights of the past one week of worldwide news here on the international. oh,

i use rather driven by shaped by those in me dares

thing. we dare to ask me. long when i was wrong, why don't i just don't rule out the thing because the after an engagement was betrayed. when so many find themselves well, did we choose to look for common ground in the government has to determine which owns is going to ensure and which is it not going to insure and it does that based on a racial, makeup of neighborhoods, neighborhoods that had a certain number of black residents would have literally read lines drawn around

them on the map, and they wouldn't insure mortgages in those areas because they believed that the properties would not hold value. the main turned down alone. they said i'm a bad risk with banks take up that same practice bank side. they're not going to land in those areas. that meant that all the benefits are flowing to potential. homeowners were flowing to whites and not going to minorities. it makes this element of racism into our homeowners culture problem. it's not a problem, it's been up and i believe moving down someone can probably be white, but then live in 2 doors away. so we pass the law in 1968, and a fair housing it proclaimed that fair housing for all. all human beings is now a part of the american way of life. the me.
