is often very dramatic developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. a very critical time. time to sit down and talk me the news. the lines, the dollar here were not to eat and smoke could be seen near cobble. therefore, the morning after an american defense system intercepted by rockets targeting the side and all the crew is in the country's capital and continues to follow development. the janet dan, i'm not going to give you, give us president joe biden thought of answering. i've got some related questions.

the bodies of the fall in us troops killed and last week to add port attack and cobbled with on home, destroyed, veteran demanding on government. let him down, the leaders feel stupid this stupid mission at this point and tell us in our special investigation theories, we continue to explore issues around trends agenda inmates being placed in women's prison. sometimes with dire consequences on the program will be hearing of the trauma. one alleged female convict went through the use your thought to 9 pm monday evening. here at moscow. this is the international, a very warm welcome to you. while the pentagon is warning, there's still

a real and active threat of another terrorist attack on campbell airport. as the u . s. concludes is withdrawal from us gun just on earlier on monday, a huge plume of black smoke billows into the sky near the airport as us anti missile defenses intercepted of rockets fired at the facility of this on the eve of the august 31st pull out deadline. now, no casualties are reported in those miss all strikes and no group has a claim responsibility at this comes a day after a deadly rocket attack on the capital. the u. s. military says, one of us drones took out a suicide bomber truck resulting in a secondary bloss, reportedly killed 9 people, including children. se a suicide bombing in cobbled claim the lives of 13 american troops. the 1st death of us personnel and i've got to stop in 18 months, was also one of the highest daily death tolls of us troops in a decade. now the bodies of those soldiers were transferred back home on sunday to dover air force base among those paying their respects was the u. s. president joe

biden. however, when later quizzed by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer, sparking outrage online. take any questions or go ahead on janice and i'm not going to give you that this man runs at the mention of being held accountable until the issues that he bad 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? fan of the dad, but from the come pendleton, military base in california, dozens of people have been laying flowers. the dead comprise of 9 marines under sailor. most of them in the early twenties and those paying their respects. and

looking for answers, government let him down. the leaders so she could feel this through buds through but 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, that's our break and kind of, 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 needed to unnecessary, you know, meanwhile european powers are seeking to create a so called safe zone in cobble to allow humanitarian operations to continue. the french president has said, he's working with the u. k. on germany on an initiative which will be presented to the un security council at an emergency meeting later today. although speaking, the weekend emanuel macro and ruled out any use of military force. and i got this

done. we cannot impose democracy, a government from the outside. when we intervene, we must do so alongside the sovereign state. it is not by force of arms, the sovereign state is created. we discussed the situation with political analyst and nichol markovich. he thinks the initiative might seem like a positive step, but the legitimacy of the country suggesting it perhaps is questionable. so let's not forget that the u. s. was not alone and they were managing this. there were nato countries, france and germany weren't dennison as well. i think it's important to remote that indeed but some sort of responsibility. ready as well, and it was going down in afghanistan today. i think honestly, building the space don't seem to take the current situation. doesn't seem such a bad idea. now, how legitimate is it for france and germany to be organizing this? this is why i think i've got are the u. k. this is ethical. i've got some, some difficulties. of course. busy we've seen that the went through were there after 20 years, and no big deal isn't trillions of dollars invested over there invested,

actually wasted over there. we have see no result. how legitimate are they to be asking about today? i think the fact that it's been requested going through the united nation is maybe on a good step. again, of course they've got to discuss that with the local authorities. now, whether you like them or not, they are the local authorities attorney for them. what they're saying, they're saying that they're a sovereign state and they don't want a safe zone or organize with. ready for military present president on their, on their territory, especially when they see the scorecard of the way in fighting terrorism. it seems that everywhere they go, terrorism just. busy busy just just keep on growing, they should stop the western approach to fighting terrorism is a failure. so definitely this is something that they should get out of immediately and they should concentrate on terrorism in their own country. the russian, a diplomatic mission in cobble is one of the very few that decided to remain in the country despite the towns return to power off. he's been in regular contact with

the embassies since the city fell to the terra group. the basset shared his view on the current situation following the unrest of the last week. the, 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 bushes to the plains, so we needed the taliban to provide security because they were the only actual authority and cobble. we came to arrange them 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 after the many foreign embassies. i've been in contact with the buses 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 gone 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, or a us marine officer has been dismissed after accusing the government of botching the canister withdrawal. speaking in the wake of the comp or bombing, a stuart shallow posted a video on social media that went viral. let's take a listen. reason. people are so upset on social media right now is not because the

marine on the battlefield. let someone down, people are upset because they're senior leaders like them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we mess this up. all of these people are supposed to advise, and i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever, but i am saying, did any of you? will you rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic air berries before we evacuate? everyone? did anyone do that? and when you didn't think to do that, the thing when raise their hands there, we completely mess this up. well, i just hours after posting that cliff, lieutenant colonel shallow said he had been relieved of duty for course, based on a lack of trust and confidence. however, he received an outpouring of support on line and on sunday he posted another video saying he's also resigning his commission. i didn't quote, i have forfeited my retirement, all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar. well, we can now speak with scott ritter,

a former marine corps intelligence officer joining applied for an international scott. good to see you this evening. let's start with the substance of what's jewish. i just said he, he thinks us troops should not have withdrawn from background base until the evacuation was complete, unquote. senior leaders should be held accountable. is he right? first of all, the issue, accountability is 100 percent, correct? i mean, we have a failure of policy that seems to be driven by political objectives that overrode operational reality. we know that back in april, march april. ready u. s. military senior officers and senior intelligence. a community person's briefed the by white house, on what they deemed to be the situation on the ground afghan stand in the absolute need for the united states to maintain a significantly larger footprint than the one that the white house was allowing the white house to put a cap on the number of us troops that would be allowed to remain in afghanistan at around 60700. and the white house was told, this is, this is not doable. we can't,

for instance, keep bug room air base. and the u. s. embassy, secure with this number of proofs, we need more troops and the white house turned them down. so this somebody's head needs to roll. i personally believe it's jim sullivan, the national security advisor. there has to be accountability or else there, there will be no lessons learned from this in this take. so on this point, lieutenant cur sheller. is 100 percent? correct? i have to say i, i take umbrage it to the way he got his message across. he was really relief for cause because totally inappropriate for an active duty commander in the united states military in uniform, to speak out against you know, the policies of a senior leadership. not this is what i wanted to ask you about, forgive me for jumping in, but i wanted to ask it because it is it normal for serving officer to be fired for expressing an opinion? let's bear in mind those jewish shadow stuff in the military for 17 years. just not

only normal it's, it's absolutely required or you don't get to express a public opinion critical of your civilian leadership. remember, we deal in a way we live in a, in a, in a reality, the united states. and we have for some time where military civil relationships are governed by the premise that civilian control, the military is absolute. so when you put up your hand raised a note to the constitution, swear, no, put on that uniform. your job is to carry out the tasks signed for you. so you any lawful matter? his task was to run the school of infantry combat training battalion. his job was to train young marines to be prepared to fight in future conflicts. his job was not to be critical of policies passed by his senior civilian leadership to while i sympathize with his position, he had no right to do this while he was uniform and he was fired. justifiably so we

cannot have a situation where military officers feel that they have a duty to be critically outside of the chain of command about policies. they disagree with, or else we'd have some energy. we wouldn't have the will discipline military that we, that we need if we're going to actually, you know, maintain our, the national security states. do you think it's got your thing though there'll be, there'll be a fairly large supporting base of troops? who would, who would agree with what shall i have to say? oh, there is no doubt we look 1st while we live in a very complicated time here in the united states where traditional boundaries contained motions are being violated and unbroken. especially when, when we deal with social media, we have a lot of military people on social media, on twitter, on facebook, and other venues who are expressing their, their opinion. jermaine, these opinions are critical. and so we're learning how to deal with this new reality. but this doesn't change the underlying reality that if you are on active

duty wearing the uniform of commission officer, the united states of america, especially the marine corps, you don't have a constitutional right of freedom of speech that went out the window. you can have your own opinions in the, in the coming on the marine corps said you're allowed to think what you want to think. just has to be careful how you express. it's scott ritter, former marine corps intelligence officer. joining us live or on our team to national we appreciate that. thank you. thanks me. russia has been flexing its military muscles over the past week. showcasing the latest and greatest tech the industry has to offer, or the country's leading weapons show on the 2021. it provides a red chance to see up close some of the most advanced machinery on the market advantage. eula, ship of oliver details the

the russians main weapon show the international military, technical for army traditional is a play for demonstrating new development of the military industrial complex, welcoming gets funding large contract. i'm holding scientific conference, it's about 1400 enterprises from russia and foreign countries participating in only 2021. they've unveiled nearly says he's thousands exhibits the demonstration area. huge 350000 square meters, almost 50 soccer fields. and it's so occupied by tongues drove find to dr. helicopters, defense systems, and know it's been reported that delegations from 9 to 7 countries have arrived here. i won't be able to tell you about every piece of hardware, but let's take a look at some of the russian helicopters holding has shown its upgraded me 171 essay strike and special forces transportation helicopter. it's an export and the

most cutting edge version, based on the renowned me a helicopter platform. the machine is truly ahmed. to increase your ability and protect the transported troops, the k 52 comb, but helicopter that can operate at any time of day and night. and in any weather conditions, this machine have incredible maneuverability. russian ministry of defense has signed a contract at the forum for the supply was fast and bunch of mass produced, upgraded k, a $52.00. and the 1st vehicles will enter to service in 2022. this is the motor, 90 k, for 2 alligator. the helicopter exists in 2 copies, one undergo and trials. this one has been right from the test to the form, but the re but the aiming systems have to go modernization. and this is a special control unit for this guy. the missile called the 305 compliant at a distance of over 14 kilometers and controlled by the helicopter all the way flies

at the army 2021 exhibition kalashnikov grew presented at new 9 millimeters. the machine guns, p, p, k. 20 would be the bus talk. its length is only $41.00 centimeters. it's a dual purpose weapon that can serve as a personal defense weapons of a pilot who went down for a multi purpose culture. compact. special forces weapons that can be used by law enforcement agencies and states security. another novelty from kalashnikov. it's been you a k 12 s p, where s p stands for special knowledge of special forces. as you know, k 12 was developed at several years ago. we already supplied over a 100000 rifles to the russian army, but special forces, they always have their own take of things and they always have their own requirements, delight and see best tang spruce as the other one is an armored truck vehicle with a powerful theory and missile weapon system. it weighs $800.00 tons and it designed

to conduct combat operations against armored vehicles fortified strong points and enemy manpower, airborne and naval landing units, as well as ground force units. it's 5 power equal battle, the t $73.00 c a p and t $92.00 times during the week long event contract worth more than $7000000000.00 have been signed between hardware manufacturers and russian and foreign defense ministry class. every year. the only 4 and bring teams from many countries to compete and on the game, like the tongue by ass loan and $80.00 for the best for the pilots. and of course, the trauma gowns that tracks hundreds of thousands of spectators and military hard when he's the asked us about all of our see your return now to a topic that we feel this is a bit more attention. the latest of a series of reports, we've been looking at how the prison system is being abused by some transgender convicts to allow them access to female. they made a growing number of women,

say their lives been turned into a living. hell, so we'll leave in our program with today's report in which my colleague saskia taylor spoke to one female convict from california about her traumatic experience with me this time with focusing on the case of chemical john sutton. the mother, i'm 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 you has been incarcerated in the central california women's facility since her convictions 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 being,

he was very violent. he was very vulgar. he was at hi, last minute at all times. 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 of all 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 actually 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 for reference to being clean, thinking was the forward we have to for that sometimes leaking, whack are for here i would have to get all my have a nice, literally what

a bottle the window and the pile and clean the floor to me is no different stand when i was at home living in the recent transgender 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 . he never recorded it. i never saw her go out to talk to the old one in our crew and asked me to be without wow, what was going on? oh, absolutely. i was told later on via sergeant that because of my former career that i was actually placing that sale. what that me on partly like it was

a joke. i used to be a police officer. so there were a certain amount of b o n mattie 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 trapped, 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 old 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, but 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 to 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 and positions or have the operations to move up. they are pretty confused support because they need parents support. i think that there are some good people out there who want to see everybody become face or face. and so they'll play for the heart strings of both people to say, hey, the people we could 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 a prison inmate who wished to remain anonymous. and that just she was sexually assaulted by a transgender cellmate who had previously been put behind, falls as a man to sex offences against women. been in prison with mailed 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 expose themselves. one of them had been told he couldn't shower 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 share with us. and because he now has that's right. the other males have the right to corey, you pay law allows inmates to be housed in prisons which suit that declared gender

regardless. so was a, they've had gender reassignment surgery, who's 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 facilitate with a transgender 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. 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, 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 10 basically it's out and he discrimination law. however, we have in the 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 effects of females only on to exclude all males. 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 a female, was in an h s. hospitals. it appears not to apply to changing rooms and girls

toilets in schools. so when does that 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 the the the news. ah, the ah, ah.

the who's dom action or dancing you're 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. 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 belief. all the more 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 boris johnson to justify new, arguably draconian, anti protest legislation. so how can protest a descent really make any difference when power more and more lives in the hands of the one percent join me now is the original rolling stones street fighting man, author an activist carrie gully, who has been at the heart of civil protest for.
