all the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats 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 is business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. the extraordinary success of his mission, critical skill, gravely helpless church is united states military and our diplomat headlong september 1st president biden defends america's hasty withdraw. my gun stressing me out. standing result of the mission. despite the cale bloodshed that the us military final days in the country. and we won't

be any choice. and i'm please, please, please beg you to, to, to rescue from british national, stronger than ca, pleading for help. as the u. k. foreign secretary admit he's unaware of the exact number of citizens that are left in afghanistan. the german government facing a backlash for its alleged failures during the car ball evacuation to over just how many local work is it actually managed to rescue. ah, hello, they live from oscar. this wednesday just had mid day and now it's kevin are with you adults. he's world news h q. i'm 1st, president biden has given a glowing endorsement of america's longest war than the went so far as to say, the afghan mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and the

bloodshed of recent days, a warning somebody upcoming content, so 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

believe that about 100 to 200 americans remain that 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 her 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 is the right thing to do, to preserve some modicum of honor. and to step down,

i think one of the reasons why the past couple of weeks of gaston have been such a shock to some 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 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 answers and accountability regarding the cascading feelers 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

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, dan 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. despite his claims of success by and blamed his predecessor donald trump for the abruptness of the us withdrawal. but the presidents were to pay remarkably similar to the things that trump had previously said. his phone ending in an era of major military operations to re make other countries

i think the year of nation building will be brought to a very yeah, brighton was not found by anything from did. and the evidence of that 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 it feels held to be, wasn't held to that bite and started backwards by removing our position of strength, like closing back run, 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 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. hello. sure. his troops left the humming cause i internationally putting cobble on monday just before the clock struck midnight local time. well, by tuesday morning tell about a fight is that we can be seen strolling around the facility that they then fully control the main transport hub, looking pretty much deserted the plains anyway in the military, posing for photos, with captured vehicles, croft and equipment. meantime in the southeastern city, of course, the taliban elder mach funeral for the ousted foreign forces. as you can see, the drapes, say coffins with us, nato, british, and french flags. there are also some banners of the defeated islamic republic of afghan. the stan now replaced the course by the white flag of the taliban, islamic emerald reports to come in from the pantry valley as well north of the

africa and capital cob over at least 7 opposition fighters of reportedly been killed in classes with the taliban. monday night since the fall cobble on the 15th of august, and she has been the only province to stand against the militants. we spoke to a representative of the national resistance front of us, going to stand by the recent developments we are not fighting to deepen the risk to exacerbate the ethnic grievances. we are resisting. you are defending our home, our values, our people line of communication is still open. so there is a dialogue between the natural resistance front and the taliban. however, if they continue their narrative of dominance and we will be forced to resist, to defend our home or land or values or people

number one, failure of kennesaw state governments was the political structure. unfortunately, the political system was highly centralized, a highly centralized unitary presidential system that gave all power that concentrated all power in one city in one palace. and in the one individual. the leadership itself didn't have the expertise that didn't have the experience to make rational decisions. so unfortunately, and again, it's done in the past 20 years because of the political system, you've had pervasive corruption. the money that was assisted to get it so which were very grateful for. it wasn't used properly inside afghanistan and it was because it's the week leadership of the army. ah, international terrorism is reemerging. there were videos of stuff that i mean on

a top a lot in, in july a lot. so not only has kind of fighters returns and stuff, but we're seeing all the leaders return and considered a taliban victorious, considered themselves victorious. and so this is a threat not only to afghanistan people, but to the whole world. it's a global conflict. recognizing the islam camera, it's will just be legitimizing international terrorism. the system is not a system that should be acceptable in the 21st century. anyone who recognizes an assad mchenry will be betraying the people of afghanistan. you want sure she know or a channel the always tries to question will give you another perspective on the big stories of the day will case in point. there is a point of view in the us that the face of the soviet union, enough canister, back in the eighty's was maybe a precursor of the collapse of the ussr. serbian american journalists,

the boyish manage. often a guest on this channel had some to say about the expanded on that idea, in opinion, pays for r t dot com. check it out. if you get a minute. he's questioning. if it's now may be america's turn to crumble, you're going to find a load more interesting angles and thought provoking pieces at r t dot com u k. nationals are still stranded enough canister and pleading with their government for help. with $5000.00 pretty citizens evacuated from couple hundreds is still believed to be left in the city. one of them shared his fears a lot for tyler bond around. yeah. and a lot of people they know that i came from britain and i'm just a scared. if i come, i go out and i'm just like looking around and looking, you might be fine if there are some on gun man come to to, to, to kill us all to took us somewhere. i'm trying to bore 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 rubs admitted. he doesn't know exactly how many u. k. nationals are still going to stand. he's facing growing on grove, the handling of the british evacuation mission. and he's put the number left behind in the low hundreds during a recent interview. look, of course we, we 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 are difficult cases where it's not clear around the eligibility of their undocumented robs. also flatly deny the claim in u. s. media the britain may have indirectly been responsible for letting

a suicide bomber to cobble airport last thursday and all the damage that we witnessed. the last happened at one of his entrances, where afghans were waiting in line to be processed to fly out. at least a $170.00 would kill this and also said append to conduct human the leak to the political magazine. now claims that the u. k. had asked american forces to keep a gated couple airport open in order to help get british nationals out. despite that possible strong terror threat, u. k. foreign secretary says the allegation is just not true. while another government ministers accused us of indulge, you're going to blame game. there is an underlying current of blame which is unhelpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scale of this attack was known beforehand, all 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. way as for me, you can kind of terrorism intelligence often tell shoes shoe bridge about just how such an operation should go. then in real high risk situations like that 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 there's a time. because if you do so, of course you just had an initiative to group such as i say. so perhaps even the taliban themselves, you could not the operation. i thought at the time, even before the capture place, the british appeared 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 disclosing this conference and 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 you've been given that he might, he or she might be on their way on berlin has been struggling to evacuate germany linked local workers. rough gonna stand with the government, having to explain why up to 40000 personnel is still stuck in the country. despite previous promises is a year of corresponding covering that $4587.00. that's the exact number of people germany was able to lift out of cobble. a jump language merkel was pretty clear about who had priority for evacuation is that you will continue their vocation operation for as long as possible in order to make it possible for atkins, who worked with us for security freedom, the rule of law and development to leave the country however, while just under $4000.00 of that number were off guns citizens only $138.00 of

them were in fact local staff, along with around 500 family members. much 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, 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 lynn 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 as they controlled access to the airport. and as 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. 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 refused to be drawn on how they should get out of the country. i would not come into 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 cobble 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 c. berlin seemed past the hours still to come with me, kevin, over the scenes national reg clips a life on a russian nuclear icebreaker. no less on the mission to the top of the world. all of all of them for a cruise, with a bit of a difference in barking very shortly after this break. ah ah ah

ah, me back either financial survive or no money that the girl i wanted to be the central product support dong could i call them? i know they stopped the again so as pro mr. read. look at life a border, russia,

nuclear. i spray connex then the ship's called 50 is a victory. it's one of the largest of his type. usually it's my job is to guide time because through rushes, froze and northern seas. but in what you call us suppose the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world and 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 an accessible part of our planet that gets only a 1000 visitors year because it's in his suitable environment, the harsh climate. so back a lot, we're going all the way to the north. we're departing from the mascot, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker fleet. a lot of stuff around us

is considered. technically, i'm not even allowed to film here. i throw caution to the wind and check out why the giant behind me is an ice breaker called the fear, the 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 it's 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 there are smartest kids in russia. the cream of the crop. we the press simply tagged along. the vessel is large and heavy. it takes to tug both 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 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 line which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries have icebreakers, but only russia has empowered by atomic energy. this is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding apartment complex but place platform because of its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now, try to find my cabin, but i have no idea where it is. in i use the

50 years of victory bose to jim basketball court restaurant convention, hol, flash disco bar, given a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically, you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let step in dark habit. though nothing fancy slide it has everything we need. we haven't found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers are minor of how rocket can get in the ocean. the room has what look, it even has a humidifier and it also has its he, me, but only 2 channels. one shows you the route and the other one gives you the view from the ship bow. so given the fact that there is no internet and mobile reception whatsoever, this is about all the digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can always gauge in the window enjoy using our big news.

the icebreaker uses the energy to nuclear reactors which can power small town if need be there operated from a control center that is vital to maintain the ship. safety is 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 that it could be exposed to radiation. you know, 1st of all, you're walking by rooms which have only limited access in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the level of special alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken up should be told the reactors are say it is more likely you will be blown overboard by strong wind lever. there was a radiation on this ship. we

had the correct coming up next. we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. it's and we're approaching the edge of the world. this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the way of doing it's a common misconception that the north pole is the cold spots on the i don't know. let me say it again. we are on top of the bracing. i think they call that delay. now, according to new study, tech companies spend around a $100000000.00 euro every year on lobbying efforts to shape or try to anyway you

policies in their interests with us firms topping the list of the biggest spend as it comes to brussels has been pushing, promising policies against corporations to try to regulate their online activities . let's look at the news. we'll see what this is about. the ease of. busy the company spending the most on low being all of the pretty familiar names, aren't they? so maybe no surprises. the list is taught by us. tech john google would shells. i'd almost $6000000.00 euro a year. and as you can see, the top firms, mostly american companies, all together, they're showing up more than 32000000 year a year to try and push that agenda in the blog. the rebel than $600.00 companies volume to try to buy some kind of influence. whether in the e. u. well, they're all headquarters around the world in china and france, a large percentage of them are american research shows, industry lobbyists were involved in the majority of almost $300.00 european commission meetings. you may be surprised or not, that had been intended to rein in the power attack giants. something that's less

consumer rights campaign is then worried. what is most striking is how big tech is trying to control the narrative around regulating digital markets and services through its 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, into the low expert. yeah. co and spoke to a see 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 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 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. robust run of so far right here in just a minute or 2. i can tell you, paid lavelle waiting in the wings along with his latest cross to guess they had a thrash out some more about how effective or not they think the u. s. president, speeding the current crisis of pull out from afghan instead of the ramifications of it. and how is set citizen again, citizens. so that's to come, but for now, that's the way things look in the september the 1st year,

moscow capital in the teams thanking you for watching and have a great day. the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except when so shorter that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear problems like take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence with existence.

join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then in the me the hello and welcome to cross back were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, president joe biden invoke civil war parallels with greater frequency. this is ominous and dangerous. unfortunately, it would seem this is how the major political parties and the.
