the gunfire start, that it is spread. now, throughout the city, machine guns rifles firing into the air raid read tre, surrounds, again, streaming into the air across the cities. in these ad points, difficult, difficult to hear. nevertheless, the united states lives in a sad state because many american citizens never mind. you are the citizens of u. s. allies. citizens of european states. they are still stuck in afghanistan, people with passports. we saw them today in capital city said in the hospitals, the crowds that were packed around the airport. they were full of people with visas, with, with passports, desperate to get of gardens thought they haven't managed to make it. the taliban assures us, assures the international community that they will let them leave that even for
5:06 pm
translators, for american forces, who they brand as, as collaborate as even they will be able to leave one civilian floods. resume that has be in the taliban promise. we'll have to wait and see if it's true, as i say, all around may god for right now, the united states did say the pentagon did say that the taliban was helpful and useful in securing the perimeter around the airport as over the last 2 or so weeks the united states conducted an enormous evacuation the united states and its allies . mostly nato countries evacuated more than a $100000.00 people, including military personnel. thereon. still though thousands, as i said, remaining, and i've got this done. well, it's 1 36 am. now there are the afghan capital murdad absolutely amazing to see the trace of fire being spread all behind you there, across the sky,
5:07 pm
over the afghan capital bed. so half off 1 in the morning where you are now about an hour and a half into deadline day, which means theoretically the u. s. has on its commitment to withdrawal by the end of the deadline, meaning the 31st of august ortiz, and we're not gonna be able speak to you soon. please standby. of course it has been a chaotic pull out and couple is still counting the cost of last thursday, suicide bombing survivors of that blast at the airport spoke exclusively to our crew. i might go 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. i should 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 concurred with deadly terror
5:08 pm
attack broke out me a couple of port. his thousands tried to flee the country, almost $200.00 were killed while another $200.00 were injured. the ice k millison group has claimed responsibility for that attack, and we spoke to one of the doctors carrying for the victims. 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 also in the hand, he did so we had 5 booms. he had many warms from bartow, i couldn't say that all of them are from somewhere somewhere. but it in the wake of thursday, bombing at the airport in cavalry, spoke to a man who was just meters away from the law side. he claimed to have seen us troops
5:09 pm
firing directly into the crowd, although we should stress that this allegation has not been verified. this was something that we are living in public life for 20 years or more than that. i hadn't witnessed. first thing that hurt our eyes. i was alert full of tears and also we couldn't breathe. oxygen was all like good. there was no oxygen at that time. after that, when that happened, the americans just shot the fire. i mean, they opened the guns at the people, there 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 me and i thought that my aunt and her children's drug 10 feed
5:10 pm
or are maybe god forbid, they might be good 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 a 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 certain things. went off if there was evidence of us troops opening fire at campbell, apple, the u. s. defense department press for to re john kirby said he could neither confirm nor deny the claim. there appear to be images and reports from the ground that some of the african civilians killed may have been shot by the marine advocate 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, a wound that we can. we can confirm that and was certainly not
5:11 pm
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 incident, we will post a suicide bombing and comp claim. the lives of 13 american troops. the 1st death of us personnel in afghanistan, in 18 months. it was also one of the highest deli death tolls 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 joe biden. however, when later quizzed by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer the ultimately spark outrage on line. metro said any questions or go ahead on 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,
5:12 pm
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? 10 of the that were from the camp pendleton, military base in california. dozens of people have been laying flowers at the side of the dead, comprised of 9 marines under sale of most of them just in the early twenties. and those paying their respects are also looking for answers. government let him down. the leaders feel that loose through beds through bed 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,
5:13 pm
that's our break. and there's not enough words to the marine officer has been dismissed after accusing the government of watching the afghanistan withdrawal. speaking in the wake of the cobble airport bombing, stewart shallow posted a video on social media that did go viral. just for a moment. 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, will you rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic their various before we evacuate everyone. that 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. i clipper. lieutenant colonel chela said he had been relieved of duty quote, for cause based on a lack of trust and confidence. however,
5:14 pm
he received an outpouring of support on line. and on sunday he posted another video saying he's also resigning his commission, adding, quote, i have forfeited my retirement all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar. we heard from former marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. he thinks that someone needs to be held accountable for lessons. and 1st 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. 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 away. 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
5:15 pm
is senior leadership to while i sympathize with his position, he had no right to do this a 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, to be critically outside of the chain of command about policies. they disagree with, or else we'd have chaos and 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. the russian diplomatic emission in cobble is one of the very few of the decided to remain in the country despite the tele bands returned to power. we have been in regular contact with the embassies since the city fell to the militant group. ambassador shared 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
5:16 pm
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 have 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 donny 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
5:17 pm
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. so the come here on the program on into national, committing crimes behind bogs will look at the growing problem of transgender, con, big thing posted and women's prisons intellectually abusing fellow inmates will have a special report right off to the banking. ah, join me every 1st on the alex summon 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
5:18 pm
this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation for community you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to this end. the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in the the me
5:19 pm
ah, could i be with us for this program here on our t for now in the program? we do return to a topic that feels well this was 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 said their lives have been turned into a living. hell. so i'll leave you for now here with today's report in which my colleagues tusky taylor spoke to one female convict from california about her matic experience. oh the with me. this time with focusing on the case of to me care 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
5:20 pm
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 faced fresh abuse this time from her soulmate. a transgender woman told 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 streaming 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 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
5:21 pm
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 what bring something to you. he would prefer to make you go back and clean the reform the way he felt for reference to being clean. thanking with the forward, we have to for that sometimes we can car 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 stay. and 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 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
5:22 pm
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 girl. and i said to me without the wire, what was going on? oh, absolutely. i was 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 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 led down so hopefully also traps. we've contacted the central california women's facility about the allegations for commons. not like i said, pemmican is incarcerated in california. one of the most old g
5:23 pm
b 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 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
5:24 pm
out there who want to see everybody become face or be face. and so they'll play to the heart strings of both people to say, hey, the people we could go to another institution because there be with that 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 are 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 prison as you 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
5:25 pm
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 of what they've had gender reassignment surgery. ah,
5:26 pm
i readily accept the proposition this sum and pops many women prisoners may suffer fear and acute anxiety if required to ship prison, accommodation, and facilities 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 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. k. 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 that this practice is lawful. that extends
5:27 pm
to housing, male prisoners with fully functioning male genitalia. i find not 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 u. k. called the equality and 10 basically it's not and 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 mailed with the protected characteristics,
5:28 pm
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 we're keeping a close eye on all the issues raised by this topic. and no doubt they'll be more to come. me. ah,
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
they shut their bitcoin mining down. not sense. they burg, their treasure fleet 500 years ago. one of the main dynastee has a country made such a boneheaded and stupid mistake. the the who's dom action or can senior what's going on the ground, 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 the.
