to the populations of different nations. if nato were disbanded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or in business and businesses. good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. the the news the headlines are not into national. it's often midnight on august the 31st. now enough guy missed on us troops, a scrambling to complete one of the largest evacuations in history while cobble reels from several deadly explosions. the janice dan, i'm not going to give you, give us president joe biden duck out of answering. i've gotten

a storm related questions about the bodies of the fall in us troops killed in last week's airport attack. return home and destroy veterans are looking for answers and government led him down to business through the big mission at this point. and i'm in the latest in our special investigation theory as we continue to explore issues around transgender inmates being placed inside of women's prison. sometimes with dire consequences, all the program will be hearing up a trauma. one female conflict allegedly went for ah,

very what, welcome to you for all of us here at the international in moscow is now just off the 11 pm on monday. we do start this hour with afghanistan, which is bracing for further. cale soft. last week's suicide bombing at cobble airport. this comes out. the last us troops are due to leave the capital on tuesday . in fact, it is now after midnight in cub ball on the 31st of august. meanwhile, survivors of last week's blas have spoken exclusively to our crew. and joshua probably be with him. i'm not sure if my brother was killed by an american bullish or a fragment of an explosive device. the americans opened fire to protect themselves because they feared another explosion. i was standing right next to my brother, so the right side of my neck were slightly cut and i also have problems with my right ear. i was cursed with them after the explosion i ran and many other people also ran. i didn't see who was shooting, i ran out into the street and heard both gone far and the sound of an explosion.

well, what we have heard and bear in mind, we visited just one hospital survivors. and victims of that terrible tragedy would take into many hospitals because such was the quantity, the number of people that were injured to 100 dead, 200, thereabouts injured. but the story we does the same story that is being told and will be of the hospitals in american press. in the worldwide press that american troops began firing in the aftermath of the explosion that the suicide bomber came with a very close proximity of us troops who were lined up shoulder the shoulder, designated his device and patted ammonia, began. people began rushing and screaming. some had no idea of what was going on. those that the further back at told us, some of them told us that they saw american troop shooting. others said they had no

idea who was shooting. all they wanted to do was to survive the doctor. we spoke to at the hospital also described one of the victims who was bored, the man who didn't make it a man who died who had numerous wounds to him. 5 in all, some of them shrapnel bloss shrapnel wounds from obviously the explosion, but also bullet wounds. there were t 3 patients to 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 warms from bartow, i couldn't say that all of them are from somewhere somewhat below. but it's more

than that. we have now requested for a comment from the pentagon to, to address these allegations coming from all over capital. that it was us troops who fall into the crowd that the pentagon has said that it is investigating this matter. but from experience these investigations can take, sometimes more than a year, as we saw, for example, in mosul and iraq, whether a number of deadly stripes that killed doesn't. and sometimes more than a 100 people, nevertheless, very still a lot of tension here and in capital very easily. expectation that there may be more attacks of threat level that is persistent. that is ongoing. according to the taliban, according to the united states and its allies, all of them, it's said that the stage a remains just to remind everyone there are now about 24 hours left before the tattered bands ultimatum expires. and that is that the united states must leave of

guy this done by the end of the 31st of august in the wake of the 1st bombing in cobble, we spoke to a man who was just meters away from the blast side. he claimed to have seen us troops firing directly on the crowd. well though we should stress that his allegation has not been verified. 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 years and also we couldn't breed. 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 open the guns at the people's be, it was only one exam 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 dave for me and i thought that my aunt and her children's drug 10 feed or they are maybe god forbid they might be did 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 their dead. i mean, it was really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just didn't look at them, just look at it was so, i mean, this is very bad for sure. well, when i asked if there was evidence of us troops opening far out, cobble airport, the u. s. r. press secretary from the department of defense, john coby said he could neither confirm nor deny there appear to be images and

reports from the ground that some of the african civilians killed me. i have been shot by the marines at the gate at this point in time. since we're 48 hours, do you have any evidence that the marines or any of the us troops may have shot injure or wounded? we can, we can confirm that and certainly not a position to deny it either. we are investigating this and as we get more information that we can reliably communicate to you about this, and so that we will post a suicide bombing in combo claim. the lives also of 13 american troops. the 1st death of us personnel in afghanistan in 18 months was also one of the highest daily death holes of us troops in a decade. the bodies of those soldiers were transferred back home on sunday to dover air force base among those paying their respects with us president joe biden . however, when later quizzed by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer ultimately, sparking alfredo online. 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. and so the issues the t badge 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 dad are from the camp pendleton. the military base in california. dozens of people had been laying flowers at the entrance of the dead comprise of 9 marines under salem, most of them in the early twenties and those paying their respects. and looking for answers, government let him down to live here. so she

could feel this 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, you know how 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, well, european powers are seeking to create a so called safe zone in kabul to allow humanitarian operations to continue. the un security council has passed a resolution tabled by france, the u. k. and germany urging the taliban to allow africans and foreign nationals to leave safely. speaking of the weekend and manual macro and without any use of military force in afghanistan, we cannot impose democracy, a government from the outside. when we intervene,

we must do so alongside the sovereign states. it is not by force of arms for the sovereign states, his creators. we discussed the situation with a political analyst and nichol markovich. he thinks the initiative might seem like a positive step, but he also thinks the legitimacy of the country suggesting it is questionable that let's not forget that the us was not alone. of course, they were managing this. there were nato countries, france and germany were and again it's been as well. i think it's important to, to remote that they've got some sort of responsibility. ready as well, and in, with going down and again, today, i think honestly, billing that they 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 where i think i've got are the u. k. this is where i've got some, some difficulties. of course, we've seen that the west were there after 20 years and no big deal. the trillions of dollars invested over there were invested, actually wasted over there. we had 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, may be 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 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 we should get out of immediately and they should concentrate on terrorism in their own country. so one us marine officer has been dismissed after accusing the government of botching the canister withdraw. speaking in the wake of the cobble lab or bombing students, shallow posted a video in 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, let 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 throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic 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. or just ours off the posting that clip, lieutenant colonel shallow said he had been relieved of duty for quote, cause 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 residing his commission adding, quote, i have forfeited my retirement of all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar a little bit. earlier in the program we heard from form a marine corps intelligence officer,

scott ritter. he thinks the marine is correct about the accountability though, had no rights to express his criticism while on duty. the 1st one, 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. there has to be accountability, or else there, there will be no lessons learned from this in this take. so on this point, illusion occur sheller is 100 percent correct. i take umbrage it to the way he got his message across. he was a really relief for cause because 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 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 chaos, an anarchy. 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, or the russian and diplomatic mission in kabul is one of the very few that decided to remain in the country despite the taliban returns a power off, he's been in regular contact with the embassies since the city fell to the medicine group. the basset of that shed his view on the current situation following the unrest of 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 buses to the plains. so we needed to tell

a bunch of 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 us for the many foreign embassies. i've been in contact with the buses until the very last moment. i wondered why they made such incorrect conclusions and forecasts before august 15th, when president donny fled in a helicopter with money. they had said that we in our country's 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 to ask guns 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. but it was still the come on the program on the international, committing crimes and behind bars. we look at the growing problem of transgender convicts being placed in women's prisons and allegedly abusing fellow inmates a special report after the break. ah me ah ah, i will.

i will long when i would show the same wrong when all free just don't. i mean yesterday out the same because the after an engagement equal trail. when so many find themselves well the part we choose to look for common ground. well, this is our see international welcome to the program here lie from moscow. we return now to a topic that we feel deserves a bit more attention. in 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. a growing number of women say their lives have been turned into a living. hell. so we'll leave you now here on the program with today's special report in which my colleague saskia taylor spoke to one female convict from california about her medic experience. oh, the with me. this time with focusing on the case of to meet 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 pair had struggled with the gun to meet you have 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 well being. he was very violent. he was very vulgar. he was at high, not screaming at all, because, well, he will have a stroke of anger and he will start talking like a man there will be crying. this particular transgender was go 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 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 like you want to do as far as cleanliness, the way he wanted you to do them, then she would bring something to you. he would confront you make you go back and

clean the reform the way he spoke with reference to clean painting was the forward . we have for that. sometimes we can wax our for here. i would have to get all my, every ne, literally what a bottle of windex and the pile in clean the floor to me, you know, different stand when i was at home living in the situation transgender had a girlfriend. that was actually my phone to me. he would, you don't miss her all. he would choker, he told her the locker, bringing her up off of her off before her feet will be swinging. he will be back in order to get 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 . it's never reporter news. i never saw her go out to talk to the old one on our bill. and i said to me without aware of what was going on. oh absolutely. i was

told later on by a foreign to that because of my former career that i was actually placed in 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 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 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 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 to have a lot of support. we 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 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 safe. 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 california. but over in the u. k. similar concerns all being voice to a one form a prison inmate who wish 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 facts, 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 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 share 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 that some 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 defendants 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 trans 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 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 syria sexual assault. 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 the biological sex really matters 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 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 it apply? i mean, this is an excellent question. when does they apply? and what keeping a close saw on all the issues raised by this topic, and no doubt they'll be more to come. me. i apologize, we're jumping in and interrupting that report here on our t international. it's nearly half past 11 here in the russian capital. and this news is just coming to us right now. we are getting reports at this very moment that the last american troops have left cobble airport is approximately 1 in the morning that now on the 31st, of course that is deadline day. now this is the last $23.00 and a half hours that they have to get the rest of those western or foreign troops out

of afghanistan. as we say, the news justin confirmed by our correspondent motor guys the on the crew he is with in couple they are reporting the last us troop transport now has left afghanistan for the meantime. now, back to your regularly scheduled program, the this is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way or are you being direct?

what is true? what is in a world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows, use. join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me driven by shaped by those in .
