of the 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 or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing. which is fascist. with our top headlines who are not fee and a rocket strike and a residential area of cobble killed at least $6.00 people while injuring many more hands on officials are saying a us drone hit, a bomb laden truck carrying suicide bombers to the apple. meanwhile, the taliban deployed extra security at cobb all airport, following her wrecked scenes earlier this week when suicide bloss killed 170,

including 13 us marines, hundreds of other people to less injured and following 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent probably veteran's voice, their anger at how the situation of the country has unruffled and so far, just given, invading up, dennis sam was a radius taylor. historically, no one has been a never able to conquer up data, and we're just gonna continue to make the same big mistake. and we're just being used for the will of the mit. and that's i with the top stories of the week and especially of to day. welcome to the weekly. this is nancy and an explosion has killed up to 6 people in the african capital, including for children. it's old, according to local reports, the u. s. military has confirmed that a carried out a drone strike resulting in secondary explosions, although have not so far acknowledged any civilian casualties. according to

pentagon officials, the target was a bomb laden vehicle carrying several suicide bombers, who are planning to attack cobble airport. this comes 3 days after a devastating explosion at the air hub and just 2 days before the us pull out the deadline. with all the light is now from the gun capital correspondent with gas via 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 i g improvised explosive device suicide vehicle that potentially could have been driven towards the airport. and designated there, it has been very tense here in capital. seen 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. 13 american troops perish 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 to start unless they want to risk confrontation with the taliban. 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 a short time ago in the program. i spoke with joe and listed below outside of wadi . he thinks the ongoing security meltdown and i've got his on represents a major challenge. well,

it is the 1st time that the americans are carrying out and brought strides inside. the city of car will not very far from where the forces are stationed in 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 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 and cobble in the previous one in the city of july, you know, 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 taliban on this fight, the road ahead for a virus, i'm quite tragically, as one of the economic hardships is one of uncertainty and fear prevailing. first,

a suicide bombing up a couple of their port killed, 170, and left hundreds injured with many needing hospital number remain at a critical condition. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience for us then 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 fall into the ground and when i stood up, i told the last one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. i. c, k, the islamic state splinter group behind 1st bombings is active and eastern afghanistan and pakistan as well. it 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 non ga 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. this 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. busy other attacks on american assets and this all lead to a rise of terrorism inside pakistan 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 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 the 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 of what we saw. 20142015 with the other isis eerily prophetic. this is how a c n n reporter describes her interview with a senior isis k command, filmed just 2 weeks before the deadly attacks and cobble in it. the fight says that the group is quote, laying low and waiting for the time to strike. the interview itself was at shortly after the attacks, which has raised questions about the timing of the broadcast. in fact, we have off to see it as a comment, the sofa. we continue to wait for that comment. let's learn more now. crossing life

to brian becker, national coordinator at the onset coalition. great to have you on the program with us tonight live from moscow. good to see bry, what do you make a, what do you make it a timing of the broadcast of the see it an interview? apparently they sat on the interview for 2 weeks. and then after the terror attack cobble airport, they bring out the interview. is it just a case of timing is everything? what do you think? right. i mean c n n is only about one thing, which is really making profits. and so this is sensational news. i, you know, when you, when you watch that interview, which is heavily edited, you have to ask yourself, what exactly does the audience learn? the answer would be basically nothing. it's really just sensationalist news. they, the cnn said on the interview, waited for something sensational to happen, which i k was essentially predicting that as the american forces wound down, ices k would spring into action, which obviously it did at the airport. i thought it was nauseating, actually,

i think cnn is just giving heights as k, a platform, so that, that cnn gets higher ratings and gets more viewers. in other words, there's an element of a moral, unethical, ridiculous profit driven coverage by cnn. but if you look at cnn coverage of iraq or afghanistan, or the trumpet ministration, or the u. s. government, now it has that same sort of profit driven orientation. and again, we learn nothing from that interview. but i said, can you, cnn? and cnn was glad to be used by isis k as a platform where their propaganda will broaden with we're talking about all of this in the wake of in the wake of the biggest loss of us life. and i've kind of gone in basically a decade. this terror talking cobble was, was certainly a big moment in time when it comes to the wards on legacy of afghanistan. see it and ratings i, as you've said, have been in the tank ever since trump was booted out of the white house. i mean,

is, is, is see it and sympathetic to all those american families, the bereaved families who are affected by this terror attack, or is it simply just a case of getting good ratings? they don't have, i mean, human emotions and human feelings and concerns for the american people or veterans or afghan civilians. you know, 71000 of whom have died as us since the us went to war in october 2001. none of that matters to cnn. remember, a cnn spent 4 years trashing trump, but before the republican nomination was sealed by trump, they spent all of their time giving free coverage to donald trump. been mark sector, who was the ceo of cnn said cnn has a problem, but donald trump fixed it, meaning by giving him endless coverage when he was really not a thing yet. in american politics. they built up their ratings and then he became president and they spent the next 4 years saying he was an illegitimate president.

and only in the white house of it is driven by ratings. all of it is driven by money. all of it is driven for profits and again, cnn. try to present itself as the free press. well, no. it's really a corporate driven entity. the same goal that the biggest banks and wall street have, which is to make as much money as possible. brian backup, national coordinator, the onset coalition joining us life or when off into national. we appreciate it. thanks for that price or the $13.00 troops killed in those days, bombing. we're the 1st deaths of us personnel, enough canister on in many, many months, one of the largest daily death poles in a decade. a 10 of the service amended from the camp pendleton military base in california, and thousands of people have been laying flat was that of the dead comprise of 9 marines under say love, most of them in the early twenty's. pendleton base is home to the 1st marine

division, the largest and oldest in the core. those pay their respects, including relatives of the dead, expressed sorrow and frustration of a tried to tone of event. let him down the leaders and she feels that this through goods, through bid 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, 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 their hands and it's just was so i need it so unnecessary. you know, well as the crisis in afghanistan continues to unfold, wiki leaks is drawing attention to past revelations about america. longest war and

a series of twitter post. the organization republished classified us documents, which had 1st linked to the public a decade ago. then wiki league found a julian us on warned, at the us intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only a few will a few will, i should say, as i don't know, quarter now picks 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 for the 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 grief than the official betrayal to one of the biggest leeks in u. s. military history. a devastating portraits of the failing war, and 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. wiki lakes, walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. it is an attack on the international community liaisons 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,

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 just make the same accusation to the, to the person that is making accusation against you. wiki 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 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 tasked 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 at 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 prophets 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 the way out of the pack. and basically you're getting back into the hands of a truck. that is the goal. my goal is to have in people and 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 oregon ida has slammed into the u. s. gulf coast and is now causing havoc in the state of louisiana. it's one of the most powerful storms on record. it's already left a quarter of a 1000000 people without power and it's also shut down. 95 percent of oil production in the gulf of mexico. ida 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 that inflicted around a $100000000000.00 in damage. louisiana or officials say, hearken, either will post the biggest challenge yet to the states newly renovated levy system. 20 past the hour we return now to a topic we feel deserves more attention. in the latest of

a series of reports, we are 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. in 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 and he had inspecting the dream in the ball for him, making out with someone else and wanting to re sign with me. we women needed the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which is used under the assumption, but it provides protection from 8th and habitat is be

mean the one to 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 shell in 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 brag many girls his last year, and he also brag about taking the girls virginity in the library to get details, as well as when they're worth your boxes and it was in the living room, do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the braces are inside women's games rating. our women men are using this loophole to access

already vulnerable women who have new voice, so platform to speak with government setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may read the correctional service of canada has told us here that provides a safe and secure environment in prisons and does not tolerate sexual corrosion and violence. earlier my colleagues, husky taylor spoke to activist, had a mason, who shed more light on that story in canada and described her own experience of abuse in prison. oh, i want to get a sense of your time inside, and specifically how problems inmates affected your experience. i was incarcerated with trans individuals in provincial. that was the 1st time i came across it. 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 guard told me anyway, that 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 it. i couldn't believe that they were putting males in women's prison. 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 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 a correctional service, canada. and 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 or 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 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 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 hormone therapy. that what is enough fuel far to say this is in the name of the quality and to ensure the safety of transgender is 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, 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. have they get used at 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 in men's institutions that have wings and dorms. and they can make l g b, t q wings, better tailor to fit their unique name over in the united states. similar concerns

have been raised, for example, by the case of to no one wrote a transgender woman in enjoy, who was transferred from a mens prison to a women's facility that was after 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 below was adopted in january by may, over 260 transfer requests had been made. and that left some female convex 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 care. and founder of the agenda mapping project, she says the well being of women prisoners, it's simply of no interest to legislators. senate bill 132 is is it 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 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

param, it's nice 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. the next round of our investigation into transgender crime and female prisons as tomorrow. on monday, we'll be looking into cases in america, in the us state of california, but also with the u. k as well. so the meantime, thanks for joining us for the weekly program here. on the international, the 12 30 am now heading into monday morning here at moscow. we are back in half an hour. hope you can join me. ah.
