the, the, i choose the rocket strike in a residential area of cobble reportedly kills 9 people with many more injured pentagon officials are saying a u. s. drone hit, a bomb laden truck caring suicide bombers through the airport. meanwhile, the tele bonded boys extra security ad cobble airport following horrific scenes. earlier this week, when a suicide blast claimed at least 170 lives,

including 13 us marine, hundreds of people were also left injured. following 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent the army, veterans voice their anger and how the situation in the country as unraveled so fast. just even dating up dennis found was radio taylor. historically no one has ever able to conquer up people or people. i talk to or maybe it's completely budgeting ah, are broadcasting lot direct from a studios martha. this is our to international. and john thomas should be glad to have you with us. now in explosion has reportedly killed up to 9 people in the african capital cobble including 4 children. according to local reports, all of the victims belong to the same family. of the us military has confirmed that

it carried out a drone strike resulting in secondary explosions. the central command spokesman has said it is aware of reports and civilians were killed and is conducting investigation. now, according to pentagon officials, the target was a bomb laden vehicle carrying several suicide bombers, who were planning to attack couple airport. this comes 3 days after a devastating explosion at the airport and just 2 days before the us pull up the deadline with all the latest, here's what i got. you have who is in the 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 threat, a vehicle bored. 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 terror 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 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 after journalist be loss or worry. he thinks the ongoing security meltdown enough kind of

stand 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 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 foods and the tax 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 of us inside the city are taking place when the taliban empower. 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 the uncertainty and fair prevailing. thursday, suicide bombing ad cobble airport left 170 dead, and hundreds injured with many needing hospital treatment number remain in critical condition. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the visit and the poor nurse invited us to come near the door was near the gate when the explosion occurred. i saw myself fall into the ground and when i stood up, i told him the last one side of my abdomen. and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. i says k, the 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

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 ices k. but the roots of this group in its existence is poorly understood. and of course, when we hear these press briefings at the pentagon, there's very little context as group actually is a direct by product of the us invasion and occupation of afghanistan. it grew out of the pockets, donnie taliban, who were disgruntled tally bon 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, the 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 afghan as dan, 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'd been fighting 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 eerily prophetic. this is how a cnn reporter describes her interview with a senior isis k commander filled to just 2 weeks before the deadly attacks. and couple in it, the fighter says that the group is laying down low and waiting for the right time to strike. the interview itself was aired shortly after the tax, which has raised questions about the timing of the broadcast. we have asked see an end to comment. brian becker,

national coordinator of the anti war coalition answer was concerned, said isis. k 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 is k a platform so that the cnn gets higher ratings and gets more viewers. in other words, there's an element of a moral, unethical, ridiculous profit driven coverage by c n n. but if you look at cnn coverage of iraq or afghanistan, or the tribe and 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 isis can use cnn. and cnn was glad to be used by isis k. as a platform for their propaganda. the 13 troops killed and thursday's bombing. we're the 1st death of us personnel and i've got to stand 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. dozens of people have been link flowers at the entrance to the side. the dead comprised of 9 marines and a sailor. most of them in their early twenties. pendleton bass is home to the 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the corps. those paying their respects, including relatives of the dead express, their sorrow and frustration at the tragic turn of events. let him down the leaders and feel this through goods through

a mission at this point and tell him to send them in like that. you never wanna, you never want to see something like that happen. and so that's that's 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 hands and it's just with so i need it so unnecessary. you know, army veterans have voice to their anger and how the current situation is played out as well. we heard from 2 ex servicemen. the real failure of this war enough can expand or whatever you want to call it. a conflict was explicitly pointed out in the dentist and papers where a lot of generals basically spoke about the fact that there was no mention. they had no mission, they didn't know what they were doing there. and they didn't know what they were going to do in the future anyway. so yes, of course i think, i think not even pulling out of just even invading up dana. stan was

a radio taylor. historically no one has been ever able to conquer up janet stan. people are offset. busy 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 africa. and as far as lessons learned from, i mean other previous words. i mean, if we haven't learned from vietnam, if we didn't learn from, you know, from iraq and early to thousands. i mean, we're just gonna continue to make the same big mistakes because we're not the ones that are pocketing the mit, and we're just being used for the will of the m i c. and that's and that's what i say about that to men in their thirty's have died in japan days after getting their 2nd doses of the madonna covered vaccine. japanese health ministry has launched an investigation madana and kinda pharmaceutical 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 that these deaths caused by the maternal tribute 19 vaccine. and it is important to conduct a formal investigation to determine whether there is any connection right on sunday, the all region suspended the use of the madana vaccine. after some of the batches were found to be contaminated, 2 men died, received shots from a tainted batch. and this comes after japan halted the use of over 1600000, tainted doses of the medina vaccine. that had been delivered to more than $800.00 centers around the country. the government said that the measure was just a precaution and has launched a probe. senior clinical lecture brought upon comment, told us that the investigation must be carried out to see if there is a link between the contaminated vaccines and the death. so i didn't 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 there actually 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 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 any time,

every time one person has been confirmed dead is hurricane ida batters u. s. gulf coast victim was reportedly killed by a falling tree in the state of louisiana. the storm which has weekend from 4 to a category to storm is one of the most powerful on record and has for thousands of people to evacuate their homes. it has already left more than half a 1000000 people without electricity and shut down. 95 percent of oil production in the gulf of mexico. the sure strength of idle wins even forced the mississippi river to flow backwards. damaging a number of berries. the fur cane made landfall 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 official said that hurricane i will post the biggest challenge yet to the se newly renovated levy system.

now to a developing store in peru where around 70 people, including about 20 children, are fear dead. after passenger boat and barge collided with indian amazon river warning, you may find that the following images disturbing. the incident occurred in the early hours of sunday morning. a combination of clogging conditions and a lack of lights on the barge that hit the passenger vessel are thought to be the cause. when this is say, the passenger boat was split into in the collision and sunk in a matter of seconds. one survivor told local media that he managed to save one of his sons, tragically lost his wife and another son. the peruvian navy and firefighters attended the scene. 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're looking at the problem of transgender convicts, abusing female inmates in prisons. and growing number of women say that 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 identified 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 reset with me for women needed the morning after someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption, but it provides protection from 8th and habitat, his be call me want to 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. he asked me to read for him and the 0. i started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there to brag how many girls last year. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to get details as well as the error when, when they're worth your of us there. it was in the living room due in count i couldn't eat after the bravest sized 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 this correctional service of canada told r t it provides

a safe and secure environment in prisons and does not tolerate sexual coercion and violence. next round of our investigation into transgender crime and female presence areas on monday where we will in 2 cases in the u. s. state of california and also in the u. k. i'll be back again at the top of the hour with another look at the weekly, but 1st my colleague soft taylor spoke to activist heather mason, who shed more light on the issue in canada and described her own experience of abuse, imprison. oh, 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 the federal and that was when they actually put them on compound with us, instead of segregating them away from us. and they didn't have to have surgery. so

that happened in 2017. and what was your reaction when you lot that that was trans inmates living in the compound with you? well, i was actually really freaked in provincial because they brought me over to the indirect supervision range. and there is a sex offender there that was fully intact and he was there hiding out because of his crimes. that's what the guards told me. anyway, he was trying to peek into my style when they're searching me. so that was my very 1st experience of that, but when i got to federal and i was told that there are men on compound with us, i was blown away. i didn't believe it. i couldn't believe that they were putting males in women's presence. i was actually harassed by one of them when i was inside, used to get me to try to walk back and forth in front of them so that they could check out my but lots of other comments as well. and then i was also in the halfway

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 the he's a man again. well, yeah, there's nothing to prevent them. if they claim transgender identity, you can't say that they're not transgender because you're discriminating against their identity or their expression, and even the one, but do get denied transfer, spare. utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system for correctional services, but canada and when they're complain, it's not resolved. they're bringing it to the human rights tribunal. did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you felt about incident you described of sexual assault and it's so how did they react? so as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are set up for us. so the grievance system and

the human rights tribunal, we're just not, we're not taught about it. we don't understand how the system works. and for the most part, women are there are 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 as 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 to speak to

a lot of women that have been incarcerated. and the stories are very similar, same a physical altercation. they've never been punched in the face so hard. they're starting to carry weapons around, which is not a normal thing for women that are incarcerated in canada. they're putting soup cans and socks because they know that they're fighting males and not women. and there's the really, really big power difference between them. canada, the 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 little change was pushed for by prime minister justin crudo himself. will you do your best to ensure that transforming, 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 how 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 we're going 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 wings, better tailored to their unique needs over the united states. similar concerns

have been raised. for example, by the case of tonight at one row, a transgender woman in enjoy who was transferred from a mens prison to a women's facility 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 facilities. that line with the gender identity below was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made. i'm 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 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 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 for the walt. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to cost me the me, the news the ah,

in the, in the, in the news i'm action or down senior watching, going underground. the team and i are away at the moment, but we'll be back for a new series on september the 8th until then we'll be playing some of your favorite episodes of this season coming up in the show as the china and russia snubbing g. 7 . summit continues in cornwall in the u. k. we speak the legendary or the historian,

an activist, sorry golly, about the meeting of the liberal leaders and ask how hope can be grasped from the jaws of despair when it comes to palestine and demick project. and the police all the small coming up in today's going underground is after repeated threats against china and russia. so cool g, 7 leaders in england continue to talk about the future of human kind from the economy to cobra. to climate catastrophe. the summit, guarded by thousands of extra members of the u. k. security forces is facing massive protests including from groups like extinction, rebellion used by both johnson to justify new, arguably draconian, anti protest legislation. so how can protest descent really make any difference when power more and more lives in the hands of the one percent? joining me now is the original rolling stones street fighting man, author an activist territory who has been at the heart of civil protest for decades . tag, thanks so much for coming back. gone. i should say it's been a week where there's been bombing across syria linked to these very g 7 powers.

obviously, following on from may's 11 day war against garza and jerusalem, you will take 1st of all on the g 7 meeting in england during a pandemic. i'm not totally sure why they want to meet. i mean, why do they want to be a magnet or huge protest? this is the f b r exercise to get their respective populations and such as ideologically prepared for what they're going to be doing economically. and which is extreme name, ultimate and what they're going to do, re china and on a scale to re russia. i think the key issue obviously is, i mean i didn't to station to take now liberalism as we have mounted and to foreign money whether it works on all we will see. but the.
