me ah ah, we have just spoken to the survivors of the para attacked good capital airport and they described a dreadful seed thing that american troops paddic off to the suicide block that began firing wildly into the crowd. even at the body of the fool, a copy here from survivor to say, suicide blotted, cobbled app or who claim us troops opened fire on the crowd right after the explosion, killing many civilians. everyone tried to me and apparently the americans thought

that there were terrorists in my notes who could still make an explosion. we saw that they were shooting people in the stomach and had from all sides non just into the air. mostly americans, washington could be seen a couple airport this morning after an american air defense system intercepted by rocket targeting the side. and the crew is in the countries and capital and following the development janice, in not going to give us president job. i've got a volunteering, i've gotten a call related questions about the bodies of the fallen us troops killed in last week's airport bama talking to cobbled return destroyed veterans, but demanding on him and let him down as you feel to do

a mission at this point and tell him i it is monday evening in moscow on this the 30th of august. what can be a headlines for when are you into national? i'm role research. i will survive as of thursdays, suicide bombing at combo lab, board of exclusive we told our crew enough dentist on that a number of those killed were actually shocked by us troops who opened fire in the aftermath of the explosion. jerry, micah with them managed to escape, was 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 terrorists amana who could still make an explosion. so they opened fire. explosions, killed few afghans because have happened to the sides where the americans were. so

people died in the crowd with the shooting from different sites, but 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. 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 allied shoulder to shoulder the ice of suicide bombers. designated his device, managed to get very, very close to them, just just meters away and surrounding him was a crowd. i've described that for the press of people who airport in that case it was the same fresh people what jam packed together. once he's best, he's suicide. this web gulf there was absolute part of the movie. people started

watching in all directions including into 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 crowd, was walking about troops 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 and discriminatory, but they began shooting it at people who are trying to the slides had jumped down at the water. and now that stirred the wall that follows the wall, the perimeter of the airport. many of the people, according to the doctors we've talked to, he said i'd officially 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 wouldn't. they would not under foot, they died from suffocation and for,

for trauma being run over by this, these panic mall and the american troops, according to the weaknesses again, this is all that 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 health by the panicking crowd who were running in all directions, including towards the firing, the foreign troops and the doctor. we talked through the board emergency would of couple hospital confirm 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 so he had 5 booms.

he had many warms from bartow, i couldn't say that all of them are from somewhere somewhat below. but we also saw entire families in the hallways waiting for news of the relatives of how their recovery is going. and one family let us feel that heavily injured relative. this is one of the victims of the terror attack at the north gates of capital airport. like many other victims, he is here not with shrapnel bomb bomb wounds, but a gunshot wound to the head. it has been reported widely that most of the casualties at the airport at the size of the terror attack died not because of the bombing, but because of the ensuring fire coming from the side of the airport, the us troops. the thing here is that there are also greece, the details this 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 laying 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 the 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 the rock where the united states conduct a day and burial bombing campaign. we were, they were homes where, you know, after a single rate,

they were up to 100 civilians killed. so 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 earlier. the following video was shared with us by a witness of the airport suicide bombing. you may find these images to study the. the eye witness told us, you've never seen anything like the scenes with bodies lying all across the ground . he said the american soldiers actually opened fire on the crowd and many people with trapped with just one except to escape the last area. we discussed the situation with professor sites more mirandi, a professor at the university of jerome. it was a master. these american soldiers committed crimes against humanity, whether they were hysterical or not beyond the point. and the western media was

whitewashed when we all knew what had happened, we knew within a couple of hours exactly what has happened. it was leaking online and became bigger and bigger. the western media was pretending that this was just a suicide human rights watch. amnesty international. the western media has been done by any other country, has been happen with russian troops or chinese to iranian troops. if 110th of this had happened, they would be screaming bloody murder, day and night for weeks, but they try to cover up the media, try to cover this up, the regimes western regimes try to cover this up and they will continue to try to cover it up with this time because the world is focused on cargo the whole world. and even though the whole world saw it, they still try to hide it. that's how outrages the behavior of the western media. there is no independent western media. we saw exactly how the function over the

past few days, suicide bombing and combo claimed the lives of 13 american troops. so the 1st deaths of us personnel and i've got a son in 18 months. it was also one of the highest daily death. those of us troops in a decade and the bodies of those soldiers were transferred back home on sunday to dover air force base among those paying their respects with the u. s. president job widen . however, when later quizzed by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer ultimately sparking outrage online. so any questions or go ahead and ask janice and i'm not going to give you this man runs at the mention of being held accountable. and so 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 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? 10 of the dead from the canvas. pendleton military base in california. dozens of people have been laying wreaths of flowers. the dead comprise of 9 marines under salem, most of them in the early twenties and those paying that respects well, some of them are demanding answers. government let him down. the leaders feel this through through bid 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 led on their hands and it's just with so i need it so unnecessary. you know, why do here are some of the latest pictures coming from the african capital right now where our video agency has captured the moment. a huge plume of black smoke billowed into the sky near the cobble airport. the images reach us as the august 31st withdrawal deadline lose. however, despite the fixed smoke not long off, the aircraft appeared to be moving all about the air. left san has now entered its 3rd week under taliban rule, and just a few hours ago, the u. s set it had intercepted 5 rockets and cobble airport. according to reports, those rockets have been fired from a concealed launches on pickup trucks. either miss also shut down by the defense system installed at the capital app or no casualties have been reported so far. and no group has claim responsibility that comes just a day after a deadly rocket strike on the capital. the u. s. military says, one of the drones took out a suicide bomber truck resulting in

a secondary blast. the reporter killed 9 people, including children. well, here on the china, we return to a topic that we feel deserves more attention. the latest of a series of reports, we're looking at how the prison system is being abused by some transgender convicts to allow them access to female inmates. so we'll leave, you know, with today's report in which my, our colleague saskia taylor spoke to one female conflict from california about her matic experience. oh, in this time with focusing on the case of to me care johnson. the mother and former highway patrol officer is solving 15 years for killing her abusive husband. he was fatally shot while attacking her. the pad struggled with the gun to meet, 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's 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 entire will be. he was very violent. he was very vulgar. he was at high, not familiar at all because well, he will have a stroke of anger and he will start talking 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 number 2 actually cleaned up behind yourself appropriately. like you can see his feet from the bottom of the door just standing there waiting for you to think she's in the restroom. and if you didn't do it being you want me to do as far as

cleanliness, the way he wanted you to do them been. he was great something to you. he would prefer to make you go back in and clean the reform the way he spoke the reference point thing with the forward. we have for some time looking for here, i would have to get all my have a knee, literally what a bottle the windex and the kyle and clean the floor. me, you know, different stand when i was at home. living in the situation is transgender had a girlfriend. that was actually my phone to me. he would be, don't miss her all he would choker, he killed her locker, bringing her up off of her off the floor. her feet will be, we need, he will be nation already. i guess 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. never reporter news. i never saw her go out to talk to the old one or

in our crew and to be without wow, what was going on? oh we, i was told later on by a foreign to that because of my former career, i was actually placing that sale with that me on puppy like it was a joke. i used to be a police officer. so there were a certain amount of b o n manny 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 live 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 g, p t friendly states at the start of this year, local authorities passed a controversial bill. but let's trans inmate's 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 into the scenes 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 face or face. and so they'll place at

the heart strings of both people to say, hey, these people lead 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 california. but over in the u. k. similar concerns all being voice to a one form of 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 mun, facts, offences against women. been in prison with mail, prisoners, he always feel an edge. you know, something could happen, attending time. we know they are not women, they are physically threatening and aggressive. i was sexually assaulted and i am not the only woman who has been, they haven't had surgery and they expose 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 is 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 of what they've had gender reassignment surgery. ah, i readily accept the proposition this sum and pops many women prisoners may stuff,

a fear and acute anxiety if required to ship prison, accommodation, and facilities with a transgender woman who has 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 seek to prevent trans women in prison from leaving indignity 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. take coleman from the keep prison, single sex campaign group, believes the current regulations are making a mockery of the segregated prison system to our surprise, and frankly, shock. the judges rule. but 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 assault. then the law needs to change, we have a law in the he k called the equality act, $60010.00 basically it's out and he discrimination law. however, we have in that law, single effects exceptions which provide the in certain situations where 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 levels. and that includes mailed 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's prisons. it appears not to apply to 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 it apply? and we're keeping a close eye on all the issues raised by this topic. and no doubt they'll be more to call peter casual, a veteran l g b t and human rights campaign and are joining us here on the program on our tea. a very good evening to you. so of course, as you know here on the program, we've been running these stories about transgender abuse of female prisoners. how widespread problem is this? do you think in various correctional facilities? well, 1st let me say, i am not trends. i do not speak on behalf the trends community, but i am a trends all i i do believe that trans people are entitled to human rights with

regard to the incidence of violence or sexual assault by trans business. female prison. it is very, very, very tiny. the vast majority of assault on women in prisons are not by trends or by other women. if my biological women, when all the biological women. so i think it's very wrong to single out trans people as a group, a somehow being a threat to a danger to women. i think we need to recognize there are some trends, prisoners that have done bad thing, and i condemned that. you know, women, safety is important. we cannot therefore generalize about or trans women prisoners because most pose no risk. they cause no harm. they get on well with other women in the prison, so they should not be penalize or treated any differently. i can say,

i think you're absolutely right peter, i don't think you can, you can use the whole one bad, a whole sports, a whole bunch idea here, and i think you're absolutely right. i think it's very positive that you say that the number of these transgender assaults have been relatively small and relatively few in various prisons. but i wanted to ask you that where should the line be drawn? because here on our team, we have been covering stories of pretty hard core abuse in various correctional facilities, whether it's the u. k or america also in canada as well. in the u. k. for example, it's enough to simply identify as a woman and have a gender recognition certificate, even if the prisoner has a functional male genitalia. and we've heard some female prisoners telling us that concerns about this. your thoughts, peter? well, absolutely, those concerns are totally valid. but initially the big boss, i mean, if a trends woman has a history of violence or sexual assault against women as

a male or as a trans omen, then that clearly has to be taken into account. and unless they have reformed, unless there is some clear evidence, they posed no risk, then there is a case they should not be able to freely mix in a woman's prison. so i think individual assessment is very important. i think this is one of the failings of the prison system. it does need to assess, indeed, all prisoners coming in to jails to assess their risk and danger they may pose to other inmates. and in cases where there is this history of sexual violence or physical violence. and i think that the probe has to be very of a deep and tara to make sure that those trans women are no longer a threat. and indeed we do need to hold out the prospect the people can change. it is true that someone as a man may have done bad things. but as a trans woman, they are totally changed and they pose nervous to anyone. we need to acknowledge

that as well. pete, i do think though, if we reverse the situation a trans man, a former woman being put into a male prison, is that appropriate? i think so. i don't see a problem. you know, i think that the big danger is if we say that trends woman cannot go into women's prisons. if we insist they must go into men's prisons than i think as a trans women. they would be at great danger of potential physical and sexual assault in a male prison. so we have to take that into account as well. there is, of course, an argument which some people say, well, perhaps the best solution is to have a special prisons for trans ruin. and i think that's an issue that is a matter of debate within the trans community. there are different pros and cons, but i think that's certainly an alternative option to try and ensure that trans

women do get fair treatment in the prison system and that women other women are not but at risk. now i will leave that up to the trans community designed piece i did want to ask you, you've been on the front line now for years. in fact, campaigning for l g b t writes for over 50 years. in fact, you've been assaulted, you've been arrested, you've been targeted with death threats. how far have things moved on since those early days was sort of it's not undoubtedly true that in many western countries there has been huge progress. no, it's, it's living in britain today is a different country to the britain. i lived in as a teenager. but of course in many other countries, meo russia, china, many of the european states, large parts of africa, the middle east, central america, and the caribbean. life is still very tough eligibility for people. there's not only widespread criminalization, but also in some of these countries of bonds,

assault and widespread discrimination in jobs and housing. so there are countries like russia and china, we don't criminalize same sex relation, but there is still discrimination and there's still hate crime. and you know, in those circumstances, you know, there is still progress. 3441 very interesting commentary, pater, title, veteran l, g, p t, and human rights campaign are joining us. lie here on all the international this evening. monday. lie from moscow, peter, thank you. thank you. well, i thank you for joining us. you were naughty, international, your program returns in about half an hour. it's been a busy monday already for your world wide headlines so you can join us. the top of the i use the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the

world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me only one main thing is important for not as an internationally speaking that is a nation's allowed to do anything. all the master races. and then you have the mind, the nation. so the slave, the american's rock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy. so i'm going to noon, i english v i v. i not leashed off in one. interpret lock nato. it's

our we move east. the reason us had jimmy is a dangerous is the lie. the sovereignty of the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or is business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is faster.
