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 pills, 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 me didn't have to be so complicated. ah, the rocket strike in a residential area of cobbled reportedly killed 9 people with many more injured pentagon officials are saying a u. s. drone hit a bomb laden truck carrying suicide bombers to the airport. meanwhile, the taliban deployed extra security in coddle airport following horrific scenes earlier this week, when a suicide blast claimed at least 170 lives, including 13 us marines. hundreds of people were also left in the following

20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent the army veterans voice their anger at how the situation in the country has unraveled so fast. just even invading up down at fan was a radius day where historically no one has ever able to conquer up down as people are with the people i talked to are a reason. it's completely botched ah, broadcasting love direct from us studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. i have you with us as we recap the weeks and comp story. and now an explosion has reportedly killed up to 9 people in the african capital couple, including 4 children. according to local reports, all of the victims belong to the same family. u. s. military has confirmed that it did carry out drones strike, resulting in

a secondary explosions. central command spokesman has said that it is aware of reports that civilians were killed and just conducting an investigation. according to pentagon officials and target with 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 airport in just 2 days before the us pull out deadline with all the latest years are what our cost you have who is in the african 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 board i g improvised 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. 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 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 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 afghan journalist to be lost, our worry, he thinks the ongoing security meltdown in afghanistan 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 and treasure this is what failure exactly looks like. well, they said has carried out some of the most deadliest and brutal attacks in the city of cobbler. but this time it is happening under the rule of the taliban. we have to remember the strike today and cobble in the previous one in the city of july, inside the city are taking place when the taliban are in power. so one has to really wonder if it is a new chapter of cooperation between the american taliban on this fight the road ahead 4 times. why tragically is one of economic hardships is one of uncertainty

and fear prevailing. thursday, suicide bombing at 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, 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 cave. islam 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 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 byproduct of the us invasion and occupation of afghanistan. it grew out of the pockets donnie taliban who were a disgruntled tale bon 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 swath 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 and syria, isis k,

which is the climate 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 of what we saw. 20142015 with the other isis eerily prophetic. this is how i c n. n reporter describes her interview with a senior isis k commander filmed just 2 weeks before the deadly attacks. and cobble in vida says that the group is laying low and waiting for the time to strike, interview itself was aired shortly after the attacks, which has raised questions about the timing of the broadcast. we've asked sienna for comment. brian becker, national coordinator of the anti war coalition answer was concerned that 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 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, the searching troops killed and thursday's bombing were the 1st deaths of the u. s . personnel in afghanistan 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 laying flowers at the entrance to the site. the dead comprised of 9 marines and disabled most of them in their early twenties. the pendleton bass is home to be 1st marine division, the largest and oldest in the corps. those paying their respects included, relatives of the dead, expressed their sorrow and frustration at the tragic turn of events. let him down again. as you feel 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, you know, 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 there and then it's just was, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, i mean veterans have voiced their anger and how the current situation has played out. we heard from 2 ex servicemen. the real failure of this war and up 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 radio taylor,

historically no one has been ever able to conquer up down. 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 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 the early, 2, thousands. i mean, we're just going to 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. let's just bring you some breaking news this. our multiple rockets fired towards cobble airport have been intercepted by missile defense systems. this according to reuters, which is citing us military sources. there's still no report over whether all

rockets were intercepted or whether there were any casualties on the ground. of course, a news room is staying across the situation and we will keep you updated as we get information in. all right, 2 men in their thirty's have died in japan after getting their 2nd doses of the madana covered vaccine. the japanese health ministry has launched an investigation madana and to cater pharmaceutical. the japanese distributor of the vaccine have said that there is no indication so far that the deaths were caused by the jap. we do not have any evidence to these deaths caused by the maternal 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 madonna vaccine after some of the batches were found to be contaminated, the 2 men died received shots from 800 batch this comes after japan halted the use of over 1600000, tainted doses of the medina vaccine that had been delivered to more than 800

centers around the country. the government said that the measure was just a precaution and launched a probe senior clinical lecturer. but dropped on connie said that there must be in advance investigation to see if there is a link between the contaminated vaccines and the us. 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 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 off 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 any time. every time president joe biden has declared hurricane ida, a major disaster releasing additional federal aid to the effected region. the storm which is battering the u. s. gulf coast has also claimed the 1st victim. a person was reportedly killed by falling tree in the state of louisiana. ida has now weekend from a 4 to category to storm. it has already left more than half a 1000000 people without the which is t v and shut down. 95 percent of oil

production in the gulf of mexico. the sheer strength of ideas wins even forced the mississippi river to flow backwards. damaging a number of fairies, the hurricane made landfall 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 damaged louisiana official. st. person either will pose the biggest challenge yet in the states newly renovated love the system. and some tragic news. 70 people including about 20 children, are fear dead in peru after a passenger boat and barge collided in a river in the amazon basin. now, just to warn you, the following footage contains graphic images. the incident occurred in the early hours of sunday morning, a combination of fog conditions and lack of lights on the barge that had passenger vessel was thought to be the cause. witnesses say that the passenger boat was split

in 2 in 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 preview, navy and firefighters attended the scene we return now 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 the using female inmates in presence. a growing number of women say that their lives have been turned into a living hell by male 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 their prison. the

walk in on him have inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re sign with me for women leaving 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. mean the laundry 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, 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 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 get details as well as the error when it, when they're worth your of us speaking. there. it was in the living room you encounter. i couldn't eat after the braces are inside women's james raising our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable. women have new voice or platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may be correctional service of canada, told r t. it provides a safe and secure environment in prison and does not to tolerate sexual coercion and violence. the next round of our investigation into transgender crime in female presence errors on monday, where we will look into the cases in the u. s. state of california. and also in the

u. k. my colleagues, oscar taylor spoke to activists. 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 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 guard 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 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. they're utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system for correctional services at canada. and when they're complained, 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 if so, how did they react? so as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are set up, right? 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 hi tanya, 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 punished 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 in a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me 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 trudeau. himself, will you do your best to ensure that transform or 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 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 wings, better tailor to fit their unique needs over in the united states. similar concerns have been raised. for example, by the case of tonight at one row, a transgender woman in illinois 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 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 was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made. and that 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 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 is simply of no interest to legislators . senate bill 132 is is it sentence thing 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 tear of needs. 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 mark. sounds good. i took my new function, you go with a good way to show me to do all you i'm done. got. i've got that limit and i wanted them off. you're gonna be able to do the work for me one above above

me and join me every thursday. on the alex simon show, and i'll be speaking to guess on the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. the with ah. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . much of history is about patterns that are ebbs and flows of political passions. most of the time, these passions are negotiated through compromise. other times there is people

violence and even separation. the idea of succession today is not far fetched. we are witnessing a cultural possession and separation could go even further. the, the cross talking succession. i'm joined by my guess. daniel is our new york. he is a journalist and author of 3 books on the us constitution. and in toronto, we have arthur clara, he is a liberty advocate and freelance editor, gentleman close to growth. in fact, that means he can jump at anytime you want. and i always appreciate, daniel, let me go to you 1st. i mean, we hear new civil war, cultural, civil war, culture war. it's been a while. that's been with us for awhile and we have a president. the united states is constantly invoking this is, you know, as bad as it was before the civil war. and you know, we have it's almost like a battle him right now. i.
