. good afternoon, and thanks for joining his hip. anata internation. we start this with breaking news survivors of a suicide bombing comp lab, which of exclusively told our crew enough gone, is done that the number of those killed was shot by us troops opened fire in the aftermath of the explosion. micah, with a managed escape. we saw that they were shooting people in the stomach and in the had from all sides non just into the air. mostly americans were shooting shut down, there was a crowd, everyone tried to flee, and apparently the american store that there were terrorist amana who could still make an explosion. so they opened fire closure and skilled few again because it happened in the size where the americans were. so people died in the crowd with the shooting from different sites. well, let's go lives and see carla correspondent,

brand guys, the visa, foreign morale. what exactly then did the attack survivors tell you the well, we've heard different perspectives these, these people, some of them are still in shock. some of them can't hear properly because of the blood because of the shooting. this one woman in particular, she caught the out of her right ear for a 3rd day now, but putting all these perspectives together, we now have, we believe a clearer picture of what happened on that deadly day that deadly incident at the north gate of capital airport. according to the witnesses, the american troops there at the gate was stood in a line shoulder to shoulder the ice, a suicide bomber that designated his device, managed to get very, very close to them. just just meters away. and surrounding him was a crowd i've described before. the press of people, a capital airport,

and in that case, if it was the same press, people were jam packed together. once he's best, he's suicide vest. when doth, there was absolute pandemonium. people started running in all directions including him to the airport, trying to flee to safety. there was a stampede, and that is when american troops, according to the witnesses, began firing into the crowds. we're talking about troops that is stationed on the walls around the checkpoint, around the entry to the airport, where the suicide bombing took place. they say that they began shooting, i indiscriminately, that they began shooting at a people who were trying to free, tries to jump down into the water canal. the skirts the ball that follows the wall, the perimeter of the airport. many of the people, according to the doctors we've talked to, he says, artificially his colleagues at another hospital told him that many of the people

had both shrapnel wounds and bullet wounds. some others had no mark on them, but they were, they were not under foot. they died from suffocation and for, for trauma being run over by this, these panic mob and the american troops, according to the witnesses. again, this is all their testimony. they kept firing far past the, the, the bombing while they were concerned, while they were fearful that they could be more suicide bombers in the crowd. it wasn't, of course, helped by the panicking crowd, who are running in all directions, including towards the firing. the foreign troops and the doctor we talked through in the board emergency board of couple hospital confirmed that many of the victims had bullet wounds. there were 3 patients that the critical condition that we admitted to i q one was in general. notice

he was short in just an dorman and leg, and he's also in the hand. he did 5. so we had 5 booms. he had many worms from bartow, i couldn't say that all of them are from somewhere somewhat below. but it well, the, the thing here is that there are also greece, the details, the following. the american troops, according to witnesses conducted into the crowd, while it was entirely indiscriminate, according to some people other people saying that they were aiming, they were aiming for those people running around the northern you running around. but we have descriptions of people with both shrapnel wounds and gunshot wounds. presumably some of these people according to witnesses again,

they will lay down and they were shot in the aftermath of the bomb bloss. after they fell down, they was shot while lying down. we have reached out to the pentagon, we have asked them about these new allegations these new with this testimonies. and the pentagon has said that they are still investigating, as they usually do in, in such instances. i remember we were when we were in mosul and iraq, where the united states conducted day and burial bombing campaign. we were, they were homes where, you know, after a single ad rates that were up to 100 civilians killed these investigations. my point is they may take a very long time and we may not hear confirmation if it's all way for to, from the pentagon, for a year, or perhaps even more. okay, in the african capital last. and he's when i guess the detailing some shocking information coming down about the days suicide bombing in cobble

will earlier. the following video is shared with this by witness of the poor suicide bombing. you may find these images disturbing the to the blast shots were fired, although it is unclear who fired them, who spoke to the man behind that video, just meters away from the blossom. this was something that we are living in probably like for 20 years or more than that. i hadn't witnessed thing that hurt our eyes. i was alert full of tears and all we couldn't breathe. the oxygen was all like that. there was no oxygen at that time. after that, when that happened, the americans just shot the highest. i mean they opened the guns at the people's been was only one exit and that was near the explosion area.

so when they tried to push me and like i really tried to reach my on and but i couldn't save me and i thought that my aunt and her children's drug 10 feed or they are maybe god forbid, they might be dead by now. so when i went there and saw them, i was really thankful for that that they were like, we saw me and many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people were laying there dead. i mean, it was really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just didn't that just don't look at them. just look at it was. so i mean this is very bad for sure. ok, let's take a look at some of the latest pitches emerging from the afghan capital where our

video agency has captured the moment. a huge plume of black smoke billowed into the sky near the cobble airport on these images reaches the august 31st. withdrawal deadline is looming, but despite the thick smoke, the long after act appeared to be moving freely about the asked me. i've got a son who's now enter this 3rd week on the taliban rule. and just a few hours ago, the us said that it had intercepted 5 rockets aimed at cobbled port. according to reports, those rockets have been far from concealed launches on pickup trucks. the missiles were shut down by the air defense system has been installed, called black port. no casualties have been reported so far. no group is claimed. responsibility comes just the day after a deadly rocket strike on the capital. u. s. military says the one of its drones took out a suicide bomber shrunk, resulting in a secondary blast that reportedly killed 9 people, including children. last week, suicide bombing and cargo claimed the lives of 13

u. s. strips. the 1st death of american personnel. enough galveston for 18 months. it was also one of the highest daily death tolls of us troops for a decade. the bodies of those soldiers were transferred back home on sunday to dover, full space among those pay their respects with the us president joe biden. but when they did quiz by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer sparking outrage on line. so take any questions or go ahead and ask janice dan, i'm not going to give you this man runs at the mention of being held accountable until the issues that he beg responsibility for joe. no questions biden biden has no clue what's going on. he won't answer any questions on up gadson because he can't answer any questions and get instant he's not all there mentally. time for him to resign. i'm not supposed to answer questions, isn't he?

the boss who is running this show or 10 of those killed were from the camp pendleton, military base in california. dozens of people have been lying flowers there at the entrance to the site. the dead comprised of 9 marines and a sailor, most of them in their early twenties. those paying that respects a demanding answers. government let him down the leaders so she could feel 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. i feel right now, but i just, you know, i feel that somebody has blood on there and then it's just, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, i've got journalists belong, so are,

if is the ongoing security meltdown in his home country will become a major challenge. well, it is the 1st time that the americans are carrying out a drawn strike inside the city of chicago. not very far from where the forces are stationed in it alone tells you what is the end result after 20 years of investment in blood and treasure. this is what failure exactly looks like. well, it has, you know, of 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 air strikes today and cobble in the previous one in the city of july, you know, inside the city are taking place when the taliban are in power. so one has to really wonder if it is a new chapter of cooperation between the america, then 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. the russian diplomatic mission in kabul is one of the few that decided to remain in the country despite the taliban returned to power. and he's been in regular contact with the embassy since the city fell to the tower group. the ambassador shed his view on the current situation following the unrest of last week. ah, this when the taliban came on august, the 16th we needed, we had contact with them. we made a point by point list with them about our security. they told us they would guarantee everything and agree to all 20 security points so far for 2 weeks. they have kept their word. then we evacuated several 100 russian citizens from cobble. we took them in buses to the plains, so we needed to tell a bunch, provide security because they were the only actual authority and cobble we came to arrange with them and they kept all their promises. ah,

we proceeded from a real objective picture. we understood how the situation was developing and who we were dealing with us for the many foreign embassies. i have been in contact with them, but it is until the very last moment. i wonder why they made such incorrect conclusions and forecasts before august 15th, when president johnny fled in a helicopter with money. they had said that we in our countries proceed from the facts, the garnet with the legitimate president for 5 years. and i no longer knew what to say to them before that for a year i told them asked the africans if they support ghani 2 high ranking representatives of western countries told me that they understood that this country supported the taliban. that they understood everything, but they had their own tasks salaries, and they said, we understand that we have to leave. therefore, i was surprised at what incorrect conclusions withdrawn. and now apparently they will have to analyze what exactly they did wrong. still to come on, i see it's

a national committing crimes behind falls. we look at the growing problem with friends, gender, convicts being placed in women's prison and allegedly abusing fellow inmates. the special report for you on that up to the break the when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't rule out the thing because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk the come back. let's move down to the topic and see feels this is more investigation that is getting elsewhere. and the latest of a series of reports, looking at how the prison system is being abused by some transgender convicts to

allow them access to female inmates. a growing number of women say that their lives have been turned into a living. how so will it be now with today's report in which my colleagues, husky, taylor spoke to a female convict from california about her traumatic experience me this time with focusing on the case of chemical johnson, the mother and former highway patrol officer, solving 15 years for killing her abusive husband, he was fatally shot while attacking her. the pair had struggled with a gun to meet you has been incarcerated in the central california women's facility since how conviction back in 2012. but for the last few months, she claims that she faced fresh abuse this time from her soulmate, a transgender woman. so tell me, the 1st thing i want to ask you is what contact you had with trans inmates and how that affected your time in prison?

it had a very adverse effect on my is higher will be, he was very violent. he was very foger. he was at hi. not screaming at all times. well, he will have a stroke of anger and he will star and talk to you like a man. there will be time this particular transgender was so evil, and meticulous about the way that we would clean our crew was the way we would use the restroom. he was made by the door to make sure that you were doing member to, to clean up behind yourself appropriately. like you can see his feet from the bottom of the door just standing there waiting for you to finish the rest. or if you didn't do it being you want to do as far as cleanliness, the way you want to do them been, he was great something he would prefer to make you go back and clean the reform the way he spoke with reference to being clean, thanking with the forward we have for that sometimes we can wax our for here. i

would have to get all my have a nice, literally what a bottle the windex and the pile and clean the floor to me, you know, different day when i was at home living in the recent transgender i had a girlfriend. that was actually my phone to me. he would you don't miss her all. he would choker, he sure is the locker bringing her up off of her off before her feet will be swinging. he will be national guard against the lockers and it would be sometimes over. it will be, she didn't want to be romantic and he would get angry and then he would attack her . she never reported it. i never saw her go out to talk to the old one or in our grill. and i said to me without aware of what was going on. what we were told later on via sovereignty that because of my former career,

i was actually placing that sale with that me on partly like it was a joke. i used to be a police officer. so there were a certain amount of c o n managed to meet who had a problem with the fact that i was once a police officer. so that's the reason why this game was played on me in the 1st place. also led down. so hopefully also traps we've contacted the central california women's facility about the allegations for commons. not like i said to mika is incarcerated in california. one of the most o g p t friendly states. at the start of this year, local authorities passed a controversial bill. but let's trans inmates request to transfer to facilities that align with that gender identity. now since then, around $300.00 such requests have been submitted. as of june, not one has been rejected. why do you think some government officials are pushing

for this? i think it's politics for i think the l g b t community, although they're small in comparison to the rest of the community. they have a lot of poor resources. they have a lot of money. they have a lot of, or they have a lot of reach. they have a lot of political power. they may go to a lot of campaigns. a lot of it is off the stripping people who want to maintain certain offices in positions or have the operations to move up. they are pretty confused support because they need support. i think that there are some good people out there who want to see everybody become pace or be face. and so they'll play for the hard streams of both people to say, hey, the people need to go to another institution because they're being both people don't have the full spectrum of the data. the fact that sold people could go to see

if she's there specifically for so that's kind of fornia. but over in the u. k. similar concerns all being voice to a one form a prison inmate who wished to remain anonymous. and that just she was sexually assaulted by a transgender soulmate who had previously been put behind, falls as a man to sex offences against women. been in prison with mail, prisoners, he always feel an edge. you know, something could happen attorney time. we know they are not women, they are physically threatening and aggressive. i was sexually assaulted and i'm not the only woman who has been, they haven't had surgery and they exposed themselves. one of them had been told he couldn't shower at the same time as asked women, he made a formal complaint and said this was a breach of his human rights. so now he's allowed to shower with us and because he now has that's right. the other males have the right to current u. k. law allows inmates to be housed in prisons which suit that declared gender

regardless. so was a, they've had gender reassignment surgery. ah, i readily accept the proposition this some and pops many women prisoners may stuff, a fear and acute anxiety if required to ship prison accommodation and facilitate with a ton of gender woman who hasn't male genitalia. however, the subjective concerns of women prisoners are not the only concerns which the defendant had to consider in developing the policies. he also had to take into

account the rights of transgender women in the prison system. by bringing this challenge, i did not stick to prevent trunk women in prison from living in dignity or to exclude old trans women from women's presence. however, i feel that trumps women have a history of violence and sexual offending against women should not be in a situation where they can put our safety at risk. k. coleman from the heat, prison, single sex campaign group, believes the current regulations are making a mockery of the segregated prison system. to our surprise and frankly, schalk, the judges rule that this practice is lawful. that extends to housing, male prisoners with fully functioning male genitalia. i find that quite shocking, and if it is lawful to hold males convicted of right alongside women have been subjected in their lives to various sexual assaults. then the law needs to

change. we have a law in the he k called the equality and she's half and 10 basically it's out and he discrimination law. however, we have in the law, the single effects exceptions which provide the in certain situations where the biological sex really masses is when we will know when that masses, it is not discriminatory to make those single sex females only on to exclude all males. and that includes males with the protected characteristics, gender reassignment, and those who have agenda recognition certificate. now, it seems that this provision is simply not being used. we found in recent months that appears not to apply to women is prisons. it appears not to apply to a female, was in an h s. hospitals. it appears not to apply to changing rooms and girls

toilets in schools. so when does it apply? i mean, this is an excellent question. when does they apply? and we're keeping a close eye on all the issues raised by this topic. and no doubt they'll be more to come. me. i joined me every 1st day on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. in the mark. sounds good. i took

my function, you got a good way to show me. was it to another do domain, john? i got i've got that limit. i wanted them off. you're gonna be able to do the work for me. one above above. i've been up there for us. let me back, guys, financial survival guide. when customers go buy, you reduce the price now. well, reduce the lower that's under cutting,

but what's good for food market is not good for the global economy. ah, with ah hello and welcome to cross stock 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 a 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

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 the rules and that means he can jump at anytime you want. and i always appreciate, daniel, let me go to you 1st to me. 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 hear it's almost like a battle him right now. i mean, it's this high per billy because when i hear it, it sets everybody off on all sides. go ahead, daniel. no, i don't think it's really hyperbole. i think it's really in certain ways. biden is quite accurate. what we saw in the years leading up to the civil war in 18. 61 was a very small minority of southern large scale.
