let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments 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 the ah top headlines or non t at a rocket strike in a residential area of cobbled hills that lead to 6 people with many more were injured. pentagon officials are saying a u. s. dro and hit a bomb laden truck carrying suicide bomber to the airport. meanwhile, the about deployed extra security at campbell airport following and horrific scenes . earlier this week went through a 5 block, killed 170, including 30 and us marines. and hundreds of people will also left badly injured.

following 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent, ami veterans voice their anger at how the situation of the country has unraveled. and so quickly, just given, dating of dana fan was a radio taylor. historically, no one has been ever able to conquer up data and continue to make the same big mistake and were just being used for the will of m i c. and that's i very well welcome to you from all of us here at arte international in moscow. you just had time for the weekly program, top stories of the week and today and explosion has killed up to 6 people in the afghan capital, including 4 children. that's all the according to local reports. and the u. s. military has confirmed that a carried out a drone strike resulting in secondary explosions, although they have no 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 the airport. this comes 3 days after a devastating exposure at that airport. and just 2 days before the us pull out deadline, we the latest from couple ortiz, but i guess 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 g, provis explosive device, a 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 is 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. it is 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 with. i've got journalist blouse auto body . he thinks the ongoing security meltdown and ask honest on 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 on with the forces or station in it alone tells you what is the end result after 20 years of investment in blood pressure. this is what failure exactly looks like. well, it has carried out some of the more deadliest and who's in the tax in the city of cobbler. but this time it is happening under the rule of the taliban. we have to remember the strike today in cobble in the previous one in the city of july, inside the city are taking place when the taliban are in pilot. so one has to really wonder if it is a new chapter of cooperation between the americans and taliban on this side. the road ahead of time slide tragically, is one of economic hardships is one of uncertainty and fear prevailing. thursday's suicide bombing out a couple therefore left 100170 dead,

many hundreds injured and requiring hospital treatment. a number still remained in a critical condition. we spoke to 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 fall into the ground and when i stood up, i told the dog last one side of my abdomen. and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded isis k a. the atomic status splinter group behind 1st aids bombings is active and eastern afghanistan, and pakistan, and launch 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 byproduct of the us invasion and occupation of afghanistan. it grew out of the pockets, donnie taliban, who were disgruntled taliban 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, 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 pockets 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 swath 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 west 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, 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 eerily prophetic. this is how a c n n reporter describes our interview with a senior isis k commander filmed just 2 weeks before the deadly terror attacks and gobble in it. the fighter says, the group is laying low and waiting for the right time to strike the interview itself. with it shortly after the attacks, which has raised questions about the timing of the broadcast, we have asked see an end to comment. in the meantime, i spoke to brian becker a short time ago. he's the national coordinator of the anti war coalition onset. it

was concerned that isis k was given the time in the 1st place. cnn is only about one thing, which is really making profit. they, the cnn said on the interview, waited for something sensational to happen, which i fear k was essentially predicting that as the american forces wound down, ices k would spring into action, which i obviously 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 tribe administration, 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 says, k, u c n n. and cnn was glad to be used by isis k. as a platform where their propaganda, the 13 troops killed and thursday's bombing. we're the 1st death of us personnel in august on an 18 month and one of the largest daily death tolls in a decade now attend to the service. men were from the camp pendleton, military base in california, and dozens of people had been laying flowers of the dead comprised of 9 marines and a sailor. most of them just in the early twenties. the pendleton bases homes, the 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the core of those paying their respects, including relatives of the dead express, the sorrow and frustration of the tragic ton of events. let him down again as she could feel through buds through but

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 blood on there and then it's just with, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, it sina, army veterans voicing their anger and how the current situation has played out. we heard from 2 x 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 papers where a lot of generals basically spoke about the fact that there was no mention that 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 offset with people. i talked to r a re it's completely bunched. 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 of the m i. c. and that's and that's what i'd say about that. 2 men in the 30s have died in japan days off the getting. the 2nd dose is over the mcdonough cove. it vaccine, japanese health ministry has the launch investigation. medina and tequita

pharmaceutical, the japanese, just to distribute all the vaccine have said that there is no indication so far that the deaths were caused by the injection. we do not have any evidence that these deaths caused by them. the done occurred with 19 vaccine and it is important to conduct a formal investigation to determine whether there is any connection on sunday, the open all region suspended. the use of the modern vaccine off to some of the batches were found to be contaminated. the 2 men that died received shots from a painted batch. now it comes off to japan, halted the use of over 1600000 tainted doses of the mcdonough vaccine that had been delivered to more than 800 centers around the country. the government that they measure was just a precaution and is investigating. let's learn more about this live now to dr. bought up time, county or senior lecturer at the university of exit medical school. joining us here in our, to you to national a very good evening to use to young men die off to receiving

a painted vaccine doses. what does it mean when they say that a dose has been tainted upwards, possibly of 1600000 of them. so i think the japanese people are referring to a batch that may not be 100 percent clear, but that doesn't mean it was a unsafe batch. and what i mean by peer is there are some reports that in the wiles and the in the, in the empty bottle. after giving the injections, they noticed something that shouldn't be that some contaminant and it looks like a manufacturing contaminant. but i must emphasize that it doesn't, therefore translate that the vaccines cause the death of those 2 japanese people. although it is of course, very unfortunate to hear that soon after getting their back seen, 2 people have died. we need to investigate this and find out if there is

a relationship. i don't think there is a relationship, but we should investigate, talk to even if the batches have found to be safe. it doesn't exactly do much for mod, done as reputation, especially after the, the blood clock concerns and also those reports of inflamed hot tissue. i do understand, but if we look in the big picture, millions of doses of the vaccines have been given with respect to the clubs they are more related to the astrazeneca oxford platform. aflac seems with respect to the 5 mcdonough brand platform, aflac scenes. we've had cases of minor self limiting my product is from which people made a full and complete recovery. and i was surprised talk to that some people these days have doubts about the safety of vaccines. i guess, you know, someone saying if science was as good as we like to think it is, we already have a vaccine for aids. we have a vaccine for tuberculosis from malaria. we'd have a vaccine for cancer. but now after the world's most terrorizing pandemic were

supposed to trust the vaccines that are being produced in just months. oh, believe me, this is really good news in the field of vaccine ology. now that we know that the m r n, a platform of like sean's and the astrazeneca oxford platform of vaccines work. believe you, me, you and i will be talking in a few years time when we have got better vaccines against malaria, p, b, and all those other things that you mentioned. this is a very good breakthrough for medical science doctor. i wanted to ask you because a brand new study from israel is up not to be health care serve as a center in tell of eve has come out with a report saying that natural immunity to the new delta variant is 13 times stronger than today's vaccines. in fact, a science journalist named alex barrison was banned from twitter for talking about this telephone revelation. is there some perhaps truth talk to that recovering?

normally from coven without injecting vaccines? is potentially a safer way to be healthy? no, no, no, no. control. and i say that with a lot of confidence, because whilst i have not read this paper, my answer to you would be as follows. when you get the source code, we do infection, it is a unknown journey. and that unknown journey could end in you being on a ventilator. you could die, or you could end up with long covey. whereas, with the millions of doses of the vaccines now given, we know that it successfully protects you against ending up on the ventilator and dying. so if i were a choosing man, i would choose vaccine at anytime every time. okay, all right, fine. can you senior lecturer at the university of exit medical school? it's a late evening for you. that's just about 11. 17 in boston. i thanks for joining us

late in the evening. we appreciate my pleasure. thank you. are a k and ida slammed into the u. s. gulf coast and is now causing havoc in the state of louisiana. the storm is one of the most powerful on record. and as for thousands of people to evacuate their homes, it's already left more than half a 1000000 people without power and shut down. 95 percent of oil production in the gulf of mexico. the id 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 and people in the streets around a $100000000000.00 in damage. and louisiana officials say a hurricane either will post the biggest challenge you get to the states newly renovated levy system. so now it's a topic we feel this was more attention in the late 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 the prison. the was in and he had inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting a free son 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 8th and habitat as be mean the one who was 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 he was in love with me. it was weird. he asked me to leave for him and the girl and started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there he breck, how many girls his last week there. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to give details as well as the air limit when they're worth your of us isn't there. it was in the living room do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the braces 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,

setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may read the correctional service. canada told us it provides a safe and secure environment in prisons and does not tolerate sexual corrosion and violence. earlier, my colleague sco taylor spoke to activist heather mason who shed more light or more light on that story from canada and described her own experience of abuse in prison . oh, in fact, i want to get a sense of your time inside, and specifically how trans 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 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 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, 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 the 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 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 training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or correctional services with canada. 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 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 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 been really, really big power difference between them. candidate prison system allows men to choose to sob 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? 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

or 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. 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 to use that returns back. 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, 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 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 the gender identity below adopted in january by may, over 260 transfer requests had been made. i'm not flesh some female convex, very worried. i will not be victim any more. 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 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 their 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 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 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 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 elsewhere in the world. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to me. the next round of our investigation into transgender crime and female prisons as tomorrow. on monday, we'll be looking into the cases in the u. s. state of california, but also in the u. k. as well. for the meantime, for this hour, that wraps up the weekly. however, my colleague shawn thomas here with the desk and half an hour's time with the highlights of the past week here on asi international joining the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the the me the versus me ah, welcome 12 the part of the great power politics is not different from the jostling place in a high school hierarchy. the guys playing games of him against one another. well, trying to marshal bothers, apply the pacific.
