crazy foundation, 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, the rocket strike in a residential area of cobble reportedly till 9 people with many more injured pentagon officials are saying a u. s. jerone had a bomb, a laden truck carrying suicide bombers to the airport. meanwhile, the taliban deployed extra security at cobble airport following for rif exceeds earlier this week, when a suicide blast claimed, at least 170 lives, including 13 us marines. hundreds of people were also left intern follower,

in 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent. i mean veterans voice their anger at how the situation in the country has unraveled so fast and just invading up. janet sam was a radius taylor. historically, no one has ever able to conquer up dennis. man, people are the people i talk to or a reason. it's completely fudge. ah, are broadcasting live director of studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have with you know, an explosion has reportedly killed up to 9 people in the african capital couple, including for children, dis, according to local reports. all of the victims belonged to the same family. the us military has confirmed that it did carry out a drone strike, resulting in secondary explosions. a central command folks,

men has said that it is aware of reports that civilians were killed and is conducting an investigation. now, according to pentagon officials and target was a bomb laden vehicle carrying several suicide bombers, who are planning to attack couple airport. this comes 3 days after devastating explosion at the airport and just 2 days before the us pull out deadline with all of the latest. here's our 2, but i got you have, who's in the afghan capital? 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 threats, a vehicle bored. i g, provis explosive device suicide vehicle that potentially could have been that driven towards the airport and designated there. 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. 30 the 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 to start unless they want to risk the confrontation with the taliban. the taliban has made that very clear. as the evacuation facts wraps up, the situation here is 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 with afghan journalist, belong, worry, he thinks the ongoing security meltdown enough to understand represents a major challenge. well, it is the 1st time that the americans are carrying out

a drawing strike 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 pressure. this is what failure exactly looks like. well, it has carried out some of the most deadliest and 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 impala. so one has to really wonder if it is a new chapter of cooperation between the american taliban on this side. the road ahead for a virus, i'm quite tragically, is one of economic hardships is one of uncertainty and fear prevailing. there's

a suicide bombing at tumble airport left 170 dead and hundreds injured with many needing hospital treatment a number remain in critical condition. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the visit and 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 told to the last one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. i says, katy islamic state splinter group behind thursday's bombings is active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan and launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015 the the

we did hear about this group for example, and i believe april 2017 when trump and essentially authorized the pentagon to drop the mother of all bombs in eastern afghanistan, i believe in the none go har, province on ices k. but the roots of this group 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 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, 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 fight in the us and i bring up the point about the weapons because we just did the exact same thing and up 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 yearly prophetic. this is how seen and reporter describes her interview with a senior isis k come in and her films just 2 weeks before the deadly attacks in trouble in it. the fighter says that the group is laying low and waiting for the time to strike. the interview itself was aired shortly after the attacks, which has raised questions about the timing of the broadcast. we asked fin into comment. brian becker, the national coordinator of the anti war coalition answer was concerned that isis came, was given the air 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 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 says, k, u c n n. and cnn was glad to be used by isis k as

a platform where their propaganda, your 13 troops killed and thursdays bombing. we're the 1st deaths of us personnel in afghanistan in 16 month. and one of the largest daily dep told in a decade, 10 of the service men were from the camp pendleton, military base in california. dozens of people have been laying flowers at the entrance to the site. the dead comprised of 9 marines and a sailor. most of them in their early twenties, the pendleton base is the home to the 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the corps. those paying their respects, including relatives of the dead, expressed their sorrow and frustration at the tragic turn of events came and 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 there and then it's just was, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, army veterans have voiced 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 that a conflict was explicitly pointed out in the dentist and papers where a lot of generals basically spoke about the fact that there was no mention. they had no mission, they didn't know what they were doing there, and they didn't know what they were going to do in the future anyway. so yes, of course i think, i think not pulling out of just even invading up. dennis sam was a radius taylor. historically no one has been ever able to conquer up down. people

said 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 go. 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 in their early 2 thousands. i mean, we're just going to continue to make the same big mistakes because they were not the ones that are pocketing the mit and were 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 their thirty's have died in japan days after getting their 2nd doses of the madana covert vaccine. the japanese health ministry has launched an investigation madana and to cater pharmaceuticals. the japanese distributor of the vaccine have said that there is no indication so far that the deaths were caused by the job. we do not have any

evidence to these deaths caused by the mcdonough curve at 19 vaccine. and it is important to conduct a formal investigation to determine whether there is any connection on sunday, the open, our region suspended the use of the medina vaccine. after some of the batches were found to be contaminated, the 2 men died received shots from a tainted batch. and this comes after japan halted the use of over 1600000 painted doses of the majority vaccine that had been delivered to more than 800 centers around the country. the government said the measure was just a precaution and is launched. a probe senior clinical lecturer, barcroft pun connie told us, an investigation must be carried out to see if there is a link between the contaminated vaccines and the death. 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 caused the death of those to japanese people . although it is of course, very unfortunate to hear that soon after getting there seems to 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 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 vaccines at anytime. every time 13

ida has slammed into the u. s. gulf coast and is now causing havoc in the state of louisiana. the storm, which has weekend from 4 to category 3 storm is one of the most powerful on record and has forced thousands of people to evacuate their home. it has already left more than half a 1000000 people with like tricity and shut down. 95 percent of world production in the gulf of mexico. the sheer strength of either wednesday, even for the mississippi river, the fall backwards damaging number of ferry hurricane made landfall. just a few hours ago on the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrina. although it is more powerful than that storm which back in 2005, kills almost 2000 people and inflicted around $100000000000.00 in damage. louisiana official said that the hurricane ida will pose the biggest challenge yet to the states newly renovated levy system. and we now return to a topic we feel deserves more investigation than it's getting elsewhere. in the

latest of a series of reports, we are looking in to the problem of transgender convicts, abusing female inmates in prison. a growing number of women say that their lives have been turned into a living hell by mail, prisoners explaining the system. in one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after predatory male offender who claimed to buy a den affine as a woman was sent to their prison. the walk in on him have inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re son with me. we women really 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 is b.

one of mean the last one day telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get his name. it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable, charlotte, in the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me she was in love with me. it was weird. he asked me to leave for him a little 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 error when it, when they're worth your while she's in 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 rate the correctional service, canada told are to provide the safe and secure environment in prison and does not tolerate sexual coersion and violence. the next round of our investigation into transgender crime in female presence areas. on monday, we'll look into cases in the u. s. state of california and also in the u. k. but 1st, my colleagues after taylor spoke to activists, heather mason, who shed more light on that issue in canada, we describe her own experience of abuse, imprison oh, in fact, 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 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 at 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

it's so how did they react? so. a 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,

sexual comments. 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 there's been really, really big power difference between them. candidate prison system allows men to choose to solve a sentence in a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me to undergo any thought true or human therapy. that what is enough feel for 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 put in prison or prison more appropriate to their gender identity? 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, not have to use that return. so back there's literally no discussion about it. there was 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 tailored to their unique needs over 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 men's prison to a women's facility bubbles off the she alleged mail and mate had sexually harassed her. but in her new prison, monro herself was accused of raping a female inmate at the thought of the california past its own controversial law. now it allows trans inmates to be transferred to facilities that line with that gender identity. the law was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made and not left. some female convicts, 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 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, a har on a co founder partners for ethical, cat, and founder of the gender mapping project. she says the well being of women prisoners is simply of no interest to legislators. senate bill 132 is, 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 govern, newsome and scott winner and every other enabler who were delighted to happen,

views the feelings of and the physical safety of incarcerated women at the bottom of that pyramid 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 where the walt will have more features on the issues raised to come me . and just before we go, a developing story in peru. tragic, harrowing, where around 70 people, including about 20 children, are fear dead after a passenger boat and a barge collided on a river in the amazon. the incident occurred in the early hours of sunday morning, and poor visibility is thought to be the cause. witnesses save the passenger boat was split into the collision and sunk in a matter of seconds. one survivor told local media that he managed to save one of his sons, but tragically lost his wife and another son. the peruvian navy and firefighters

attended to go i will be staying on top of that story, as well as others. this has been the weekly on our international would be back at the top of the hour long when i would show the wrong. why don't just don't room to fill out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground in the me

i will, i psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients. or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work. the problem is, in a long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdraw symptoms more serious than the condition that was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up

to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can bill. so of all ills, or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like i was just scared. i was just care a little girl, the 24. and like, i didn't have to be so complicated driven by shaped by those in me. i think we dare to ask me

ah, the whole earth catalogue was part of the movement. in this publication was created by steward brand, a former biology student, and a jack of all trades. he wanted to help communal is find everything they needed to fend for themselves by showing them where to buy all the necessary tools. ah, so weird because right, so these people are going to build farms. but what kind of tools and they take, well, they take books and that's because what people wanted in the communes was not just farm equipment, but consciousness, equipment they wanted to change their mind catalog is absolutely central to the counterculture and to the the commune. movement of the late 19th sixty's, but it's also central to silicon valley. they found this world and.
