all the countries, the exceptionalism that american uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato, 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 fascist. extraordinary success. and this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless cur, united states, military and our diplomat and the headline to september. the 1st impressed, applied and defends america's hasty withdraw my gun, trusting the outside the result of the mission. despite the cale some bloodshed that the us military fly in those days and the country,
4:01 am
then we won't be in this situation. i'm please, please, please. i beg you to do to rescue from british national stranded in kabul, a pleading for help as the u. k. foreign secretary admit he's unaware of the exact number of citizens to the left and i've gone to the german government facing a backlash for it. alleged failures, jury would cobble evacuation to over. how many local work is it actually managed to rescue? ah, why there were good morning law from oscar. this wednesdays. kevin o in here from r t s. world these h q. and 1st as you heard there was started with president biden has given a glowing endorsement of america's longest war. even went so far as to say, the african mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and the
4:02 am
bloodshed of recent days, warning some of the upcoming content, you may find upsetting. extraordinary success. and this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomat and intelligence professionals. it was designed to save american lives, the family of the 13 american soldiers who died and a terrorist attack and cobble a few days ago would definitely argue with that biden's appearance at the dignified transfer of the remains. certainly added insult to injury. i said, i swear to god if he checks his watch one more time, i couldn't look at him anymore after that considering especially the time and why we were there. i found to be the most disrespectful thing i've ever seen now after this so called successful operation over a 100 americans are still stranded in afghanistan. the exact number is not known apparently, and that is despite jo biden's promise that no one would be left behind. now we
4:03 am
believe that about 102200 americans, we may, nap, can stand with some intention to leave. and for those remaining americans, there is no deadline. we're going to try to get it done before august 3rd. but if we don't, if you're american force, if there's american citizens left, we're going to stay to get them all out. now, while the u. s. public overwhelmingly favors withdrawal from afghanistan. poles also show that the public is unhappy with how it was done. over 80 percent of the public says that they wanted the military to stay in and make sure that americans should get out safely. now, republicans are stepping up and calling for joe biden to step down. we call upon most somberly the resignation of this president joe biden, and it's the right thing to do to preserve some modicum of honor. and to
4:04 am
step down, i think one of the reasons why the past couple of weeks of, of gas that have been such a shock to song and such a disappointing confirmation to others. is because of that disconnect between reality and how that reality is projected. i believe there should be accountability for what i, what i see is probably the biggest failure in american government on a military stage in my lifetime. but it's not just republicans. some democrats also seem rather unsatisfied by recent events. the variation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled. in order to move forward, we need to answers and accountability regarding the cascading failures that lead us to this moment. our troops deserve nothing less than a complete and unvarnished truth. i think that timeline is less than what we have to do to get the us citizen and others out of the country. and within the military, there is discontent as well. over 90 retired generals and admirals called for the highest ranking us general. and for the us secretary of defense to step down the
4:05 am
loss of billions of dollars in our advanced military equipment and supplies fall into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. the damage to the reputation of the united states is indescribable. we will be seen for many years as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. trust in the united states is irreparably damaged. now, after 20 years, the war and ask dana nan seems to have come to an end, at least for america. joe biden is taking credit for finally bringing the troops home. however, the manner in which he did it has many questioning his competency. we've got a situation where it looks like august is wrapping up to be the worst month yet for the biden white house. caleb martin, r t new york. well, despite his claims of success by blamed his predecessor donald trump for the abruptness of the us withdrawal. but the presidents words appear remarkably similar, may be 2 things. trumpet previously said. his phone and need an ear of major
4:06 am
military operations to re make other countries. i think the year of nation building will be brought to a very when i yeah, quite was not found by anything from did. and the evidence of bad is all the other things trump has done that biden has undone as quickly as possible. so biting doesn't care about anything. the trump did that, that he feels held to be, wasn't held to that bite and started backwards by removing our position of strength, like closing background, shrinking our footprint, you half the size of an airport in the city of 4000000 people and then making it impossible to defend that by drawing down the military as he goes until there's not enough people left. it was a disaster waiting to happen, and biden did it all in the wrong order. every death is on him. their blood is on
4:07 am
his hands, the only choice he has right now is to claim credit for doing good because that will fool that people who aren't really paying attention. but the whole world knows he did this completely wrong. and in the worst, most inept, bumbling possible way, and i don't see him saving we'll try and give you a tend to know the stories of the day. so for years there's been a point of view in the us of the defeat of the soviet union, and i've got to stand back in the 1900 eighty's was, may be a precursor to the collapse of the ussr, serbian american journalists, the boy ship malice expanded on that, they are an opinion piece he's done. first of all, the da com questioning may be now if it's america's turn of crumbled, this may be you're going to find lows, more interesting angles and thought provoking pieces just like that. and all big stories today at r t dot com u. k. national, still stranded in afghanistan, depleted with their government for help. with $5000.00 british citizens evacuated
4:08 am
from cobble hundreds is still believe to be left in that city. one of them shed his fears with us. a lot for taliban around. yeah. and a lot of people they know that i came from britain and i'm just scared. if i come i, i probably go out and i'm just like looking around and looking might be fine. if they start someone gun man come to to, to, to kill us all to took us somewhere. i'm trying to board johnson and the foreign minister. and we all, we all versus it does and we, we don't want to be in this situation. i'm please, please, please, i beg you to, to, to rescue from here as british foreign secretary, dominic robs have method. he doesn't know exactly how many u. k. nationals are still in afghanistan. he's facing growing under the over the handling of the british evacuation mission thus far, and he put the number left behind in the low hundreds during
4:09 am
a recent interview. look, of course, when we are lament the fact that anyone would be left behind. i know that the number of u. k. nationals, the particular responsibility of the foreign office is now down at a very low level, specific, well, low hundreds given that we've taken in total $5000.00 out. and most of those difficult cases where it's not clear around the eligibility of their undocumented robs, also flatly deny the claim in us media. the britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cobble airport last thursday. course our blast was, you know, at one of its entrances, whereas the guns were waiting in line to be processed to fly out. at least a 170 were killed. pen can document league to political magazine claims that the u . k. at austin, american forces to keep a gate a cobble airport open to help get british nationals out despite the possible terror threat. the u. k. foreign secretary says that allegation is simply just not true.
4:10 am
while another government ministers accused us of indulging in a blame game. there is an underlying current of blame which is on helpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scale of this attack was known beforehand, old gate should have been closed as a matter of protocol. and they went, which suggest i have a detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. we asked former u. k, counter terrorism intelligence officer should bridge about how such an operation should go. that high risk situation like end of the day. if you've only got one or 2 or 3 days left to carry out your evacuation, it could be argued got, you constantly shut down the operation every time that as a tower. because if you do so, of course you just had an initiative to group such as i say, so perhaps even the taliban themselves,
4:11 am
you could simply manufacture bomb alerts like that and therefore their budget srp the operation. you know, i thought after time, even before the chapter plays, the british appear to be the people who actually went public with this. which in a way, could undermine any attempts to capture or kill the attacker before he got to the airport. because of course, got disclosed at festival, there is a source that is disclosed misconduct information. i'm 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he said he was colleagues, that he was nice. there was information been given that he might, he or she might be on their way. and berlin has been struggling to evacuate germany linked local workers from. i've got to stand where the government having to explain and why up to 40000 personnel still stuck in the country. despite previous promises, a europe correspondence across that 14587.
4:12 am
that the exact number of people germany was able to lift out of cobble chancellor anglo merkel, was pretty clear about who had priority for evacuation. definitely, if you will, will continue their location operation for as long as possible in order to make it possible for afghans who worked with us for security freedom, the rule of law and development to leave the country. however, while just under $4000.00 is not number, we're off guns citizens and the $138.00 of them were in fact local staff, along with around $500.00 family members. not less than one in 5 of those rescued by germany. as for who the rest of the people that's still being worked out. but in this case, we do not yet know, at least in each individual case, whether there's any direct connection with local staff. you can imagine how things were happening. there is, nobody was standing in front of a german plane counting and saying,
4:13 am
we're only taking with us those who are coming to germany and we're leaving those who need to go to italy or belgium. because of this, of course, there are people connected with other you countries who have been brought to germany. the chaotic approach to the l, if to be blamed on a lack of preparedness from both the foreign defense ministries here in berlin, when it came to the speed at which the taliban advanced and the limited capability of local forces. in mid august, the german government estimated that less than $180.00 local employees and their families would need to be flown out. ultimately who got on to german planes, was decided by the taliban. they controlled access to the airport and does the interior ministry admitted last week? that severely complicated the selection process. we currently have a very pragmatic procedure. we only carry out the security check upon entry to the country. we have now identified 4 cases of people who had already been deported.
4:14 am
border now in germany and government estimate 40000 people were left behind when you factor in family members as well. german foreign minister, high coma, said the safe haven would be offered to more guns, but refuse to be drawn on how they should get out of the country. i would not comment on that publicly in any way. currently, the conditions for securing these routes have not been created at all for that there would have to be agreements with the taliban as well as with the countries where these people will go for hope is that once coble airport is open to civilian flights, more people will be able to come here to germany, but make no mistake. the taliban hold all of the cards on the ground and indicates is that any checks carried out on eligibility to fly. won't be able to be carried out until those people are on german soil. peter oliver, off the berlin. hope you can stick around. thanks for checking in this morning by
4:15 am
the way. it's come to 15 past the hour. kevin, over here today, we'll call this a glimpse of life on russia. nuclear ice breaker. on a mission to the top of the world or ball, but for a cruise with a bit of a difference in parking very shortly, i can tell you after this break ah, ah ah ah, ah,
4:16 am
i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have, it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the hello. good. good morning. so next, as promised the rare look at life home border, russia, nuclear ice spray can next coming up the ship's cold, 50 years victory,
4:17 am
and it's one of the largest of its type. usually its main job is to guide tankers through rushes, frozen northern seas. but in the off season, so to speak, it also takes people and adventures to the top of the world. a roving correspondent bought a ticket. were on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north pole. as a journalist, i've been to many dangerous places all around the world, but this trip definitely stands out. we're about to visit police explored and accessible part of our planet that gets only a 1000 visitors the year because it has suitable environment and harsh climates. so back a lot, we're going all the way to the nord ah, the word morning from the city of more man, the whole board of world only nuclear eyes breaker plates. a lot of stuff around us is considered. technically, i'm not even allowed to film here. my throw caution to the wind and check out why
4:18 am
the giant behind me is an icebreaker called the fears, a victory that is going to take us to the north pole. the ice breakers main job is to guide tankers through rushes, frozen northern seas. but in the summer, when its downtime the ship carries tories to the north pole, normally trip like this would cost up to $50000.00. but this time the ice breakers booked for russian a grade. students have got tickets as a reward for their studies. and also, i guess you could say that things are like the smartest kids in russia, the cream of the crop. we've the press simply tagged along. the vessel is large and heavy. it takes to tug boats to pull it out from its moorings and were sailing off into the arctic ocean. so for the next 10 days is going to be ice water, more ice, more water and humming of the ships nuclear reactors. the 50 years of
4:19 am
victory was launched in 1993 and as the world's 2nd largest nuclear icebreaker. it used to be number one until recently with them the arctic again lot which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries have icebreakers, but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy. this is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding apartment complex placed on a platform because of its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now, i'm trying to find my cabin, but i have no idea where it is. in i use the 50 years of victory gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar, given
4:20 am
a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically, you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let the deaf in dark habit. nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we've found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers are admire how rough it can get in the ocean. the room has why look, it even has a humidifier and it also has a tv, but only 2 channels. one shows you the route and the other one gives you the view from the ship south. so given the fact that there is no internet and mobile reception whatsoever, this is about all digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can always gauge in the window enjoy using our big news.
4:21 am
the icebreaker uses the energy of nuclear reactors which can power small town if need be their operating from a control center that is vital to maintain the ship safety. it's telling that the only books they keep on a shelf in the room are about radiation and how to detect it. as we walk around the shift, i see radiation science doesn't mean it could be exposed to radiation. you know, 1st of all, you're walking by rooms which have only limited axis in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the weight level. a special alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measure taken up should be told the reactors are say it is more likely you'll be blown overboard by strong wind lever. there was a radiation on the ship rapidly. we had to look like somebody coming up next. we
4:22 am
were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg and we're approaching b as over the world. well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the life of it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the i don't know . let me say it again. we are on top of the well ah. yeah, well, the venture that is, will be much more that says series that come up for the coming days as well. keep you posted on how we do it. now. next tech companies spend about 100000000 euro every year on lobbying efforts to try to shape you policies in their interest with
4:23 am
us firms top the list of the biggest spend. this is according to a new study. let's take a look at it and see the voltage this. well, a lot of familiar names. they're all these other ones who spend the most on low being all of them as a say familiar names. let's talk by us tech john. google, which shells at her own the $6000000.00 euro a year. as you can see, the top firms said mostly american companies altogether than showing up more than 32000000 year a year to try and push their agenda onto the block. there are more than 600 companies trying to avoid for influence in the you while they're all headquarters around the world, such as china and france. a large percentage of them are american research shows, industry lobbyists, in fact, were involved in majority of almost 300 european commission meetings that had been intended to rain in the power, tech jives, well as suddenly as the consumer rights campaign is worried. what is most striking is how big tech is trying to control the narrative around regulating digital
4:24 am
markets and services through extensive use of think tanks, industry groups, high level names and consultancies, and academic research. with big bucks and a towering presence. big tech is trying hard to prevent the emergence of e, you rules that will force them to change the way they operate in europe. because the thoughts of internet law expert yeah, co and new says the activities a big tech companies like this could be a threat to the founding principles of the you. the idea that tech companies spending is such huge amount of money on low being in d. u is quite frightening to be frankly, not low being in order to benefit their customers a low being in order to avoid being held accountable for their actions. there is no doubt that the greater involvement of tech companies within the political systems in europe and in other countries as well, is
4:25 am
a great threat to democracy. they could be deciding who will be allowed to be heard that can ban politicians from, from the platforms. so there is a very serious risk here, date that companies will be ending up, having almost full control over free speech. could allow her that thought, if you watch of the clock i'm to go to work is actually 25 past the o. r t. the comment of a social so so much more of your say any of the stories we're talking about, but for now, this wednesday, september the 1st already for moscow, kevin, are in the teams. thank you for watching and have a great day. oh, i
4:26 am
i the pacific leg around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock and the dead calm as every country close by. it was like the
4:27 am
crew, gavin's food and water and to check those for shelter. bloom. it's got everybody locked down or almost no food and no one really sure. somebody especially if you're still in the cove it, you're living like the female of own, but in the 21st century i rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in
4:28 am
me i think we dare to ask me. ah ah, the news i'm action are 10 senior 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 on this show the conversation with one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, all of us stone,
4:29 am
his platoon. born on the 4th of july, snowden, and wall street educated generations. his gun breaking work, j. f. k. 1030. this year and stone is returning to the subject with a follow up documentary, james k revisited through the looking glass currently premiering at the cabin film festival. and academy award winner oliver stone joins me now from the festival. thanks so much oliver for coming on. obviously, we have a us president in the white house backing forces against the cuban government plaza shown before we head onto the evidence which, which we wouldn't have without j, f k. the movie in the new commentary. what is the relevance in case people are going on? he's not talking about kennedy again, the relevant to joe biden, who is bombing syria and iraq only the past few weeks. what is the relevant to the current whitehouse of this documentary? well, i, again, i think that the relevance is the main point we were trying to make in the
4:30 am
documentary was that john kennedy was a warrior for peace in all forms. and among the many things he was doing when he was killed, was reaching out to cuba to end this embargo to make the taunt with castro look good. and he was also at the same time over making an overarching deal with khrushchev of the soviet union. they had, they signed the nuclear test ban treaty together, which is an amazing document the 1st time the soviets in the u. s. signed a treaty of this nature and the cold war was, was theoretically coming to an end in 1963. so you can imagine where the world would be now instead we have this retrograde policy where the u. s. is still got an embargo on cuba 60 years later. and the news today is just another one and along concurrent crises, events that happen every few years. i don't, you know, this has been.
