shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing. which is faster than the the, the, the ah, the extraordinary success of this mission. critical skill. gravely helpless courage, united states, military and our diplomats. in the headlines this september, the 1st president biden defend american hasty withdrawal from afghanistan, distressingly standing the result of the mission. despite the chaos and bloodshed to us for the 3 final days that we don't want to

be in the tuition, i'm please, please, please. i beg you to do to rescue from the british national stranded and cobble plead for help. the foreign secretary admits he's unaware of the exact number of citizens who are left in afghanistan. the german government faces a backlash for its alleged failures during the cobble evacuation to rober. just how many local work is it actually managed to rescue? ah, wednesday september the 1st uncle embrace r t h q in moscow with world news this our 1st president biden has given a glowing endorsement of america the longest war even went so far as to say the african mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and bloodshed of recent days, just a warning of some of the upcoming content you might find upsetting. extraordinary
8:02 am
success of 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
8:03 am
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 are american for sure, 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 as 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, of gas that have been such a shock to song and such
8:04 am
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, the 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 creation 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 loss of billions of dollars in our advanced military equipment and supplies fall
8:05 am
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 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. and despite his claims of success bite and blamed his predecessor, donald trump for the abruptness of the us withdrawal. but the presidents were to pay a remarkably similar to the things trump previously said. is found indeed an era of major military operations to re make other countries
8:06 am
the ear of nation building will be brought to a very i yeah, quite 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. it's a bite and doesn't care about anything. the trump did that, that he feels held to be, wasn't held to that fight 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 his hands, the only choice he has right now is to claim credit for doing good because that
8:07 am
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 the last us troops left. haven't cause i international airport and cobble on monday just before the clock struck midnight local time. by tuesday morning taliban fighters could be seen strolling around the facility. they now fully controlled the main transport. the deserted venison post for photos, with captured vehicles across and equipment. however, it's also reported that much of the trophies left behind been decommission, which might explain why it was so readily abandoned. meanwhile, in the southeastern city of host, the taliban held a mock funeral for the austin forum forces draping fake coffins with us. nato, british and french flags. rule says the banners of the defeated islamic republic of africa. stan now replaced by the white flag of the taliban. islamic emerald. there are also reports from the pen she of valley north of the capital cobble where at
8:08 am
least 7 opposition fighters were reportedly killed in classes with the taliban on monday night. since the fall of cobble on august the 15th. and she has been the only providence to stand against the militant, we spoke to a representative of the national resistance front of afghanistan about the recent development we are not fighting. busy 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, orlando, or values or people number one, failure, kennesaw state or government was the political structure. unfortunately,
8:09 am
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 they 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 afghan, which were very grateful for, it wasn't used properly inside afghanistan and it was because of the week leadership of the army. international terrorism is reemerging and considered a taliban victorious, considered themselves victorious. and so this is a threat not only to get some people, but to the whole world. it's
8:10 am
a global conflict. recognizing the islamic 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. now to get to the point of view in the us the, that the feet of the soviet union in afghanistan in the 1980. because for the collapse of the ussr, serbian american journalists, new bush mileage expands on that idea and an opinion piece for all t dot com. questioning. if it's now america's turn to crumbled, are you going to find loads more interesting angles and thought provoking pieces on our website right now. while the russian foreign ministry says moscow, beijing, washington and islam a bad plan to hold a meeting and cobble as soon as the situation and i've got to stand stabilizes,
8:11 am
and the apple reopens for russia. of course the regents considered to be key in terms of its own security president who's spelled out the futility of the us campaign. so we took it to the police. we did look at the events unfold and now new russia. i mean, i've gotten this done for 20 years. us soldiers have been on african soil. and for 20 years they have been trying to, so to say, civilize the local people. but in fact, to impose their own standards and values, including the political structure of society. and what did that bring them? only tragedies. germany struggling to evacuated local workers from afghanistan with the late having to explain why up to 40000 personnel is still stuck in the country . despite previous promises, well not next. from peter oliver. 4587. that's the exact number of people germany was able to lift out of cobble. chancellor angular merkel was pretty clear about who had priority for evacuation. because of the,
8:12 am
if you will continue their documentation alteration 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, just not number were off guns citizens and the $138.00 of them were in fact local staff, along with around $500.00 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
8:13 am
germany. the chaotic approach to the l, if to be blamed on a lack of preparedness from both the foreign and 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. 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,
8:14 am
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 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 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 are there 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, in about an hour from now british foreign secretary dominic rob is due to face a grilling when he goes before a foreign affairs select committee. ministers have been getting
8:15 am
a lot of heat over the government's policy and ask honestly over the past few weeks, rob himself, recently blade, the defense ministry, the big unprepared for the taliban. swift victory. okay, let's have a look above might be a head, then live to westminster, corresponding k pop furniture needs. the parents is k. they're often a bit of a bruising labor. no doubt robs critics on the committee. you're going to have a lot to throw it in the self. the name? oh yes indeed. i mean foreign secretary, dominate. rob is appearing before the foreign affairs select committee in the house of commons to face questions by back bench. m p 's over his actions during the withdrawal from a gun, histone by the u. s. and its allies. on this coming day after the tv interview, where he indicated that military intelligence failures led to the rapid fall of i've gone onto the taliban in effect, blaming the ministry of defense. so it was an intelligence thing. i think there's clearly questions around the the assessment was clearly wrong, but under some festival that was shared widely across international partners. and certainly not the, the, the foreign offices lead responsibility,
8:16 am
but we've course planned accordingly. but for the head of the army as hit back at the foreign secretary over suggestions that thousands of afghans who are eligible to come to the u. k were left behind and the government were pre warned about the situation. other critics, including the shadow foreign secretary, blame raw for failing to act and for throwing the ministry of defense on dra bus. 45 senior officers, including myself, wrote an open letter to the government in july to say that a large proportion of british nationals and interpreters and other locally engaged civilians where at risk from the taliban weird greater generosity and speed because time was not on our side the response to that was very disappointing. the foreign secretary had 18 months to prepare, but was missing in action. as a result on his watch, britain has become weaker in the world and faces greater risks from terrorism. when
8:17 am
the senior foreign office saw insist rob had been talking more broadly about the intelligence provided and deny is rob were seeking to blame the m o d or other issues a likely to be raised by the committee as well. rob is on holiday as the ask on situation was unfolding and he returned only evening off the cobble fell to the taliban. rob also delegated a key telephone call to the ask on foreign minister to a junior minister, a cool which ultimately didn't happen. rob has blamed the home office for the lack of a planning, relocating african refugees, in other words, blaming to other departments and not his own foreign office or the daily mail has fronted the foreign secretary mister deluded and the could be an uncomfortable afternoon for dominic rob under the spotlight of the select committee. yeah. what about an hour away from hearing how much he's going to be swerving and how much is going to be made? copa. i wouldn't put much money on the latter there. all right for now. okay. portraits, westminster. thank you. goes, meantime those u. k. nationals are still stranded in afghanistan. that pleading with the
8:18 am
government for help right now with 5000 british citizens evacuated from cobble hundreds is still believe to be left in that city. one of them has been sharing his face with us. i'll offer taliban around. yeah. and a lot of people they know that i came from britain and i'm just a scared. if i come i, i probably go out and i'm just like, looking around and looking, you might be fine. if there are some gun man come to to, to, to kill us all to took us somewhere. i'm trying to go, or johnson, and the foreign minister. and we all, we all breast to citizen, we, we don't want to be in this situation. i'm please, please, please, i beg you to, to, to rescue from here. meantime, the british foreign secretary is also flatly denied a claim in the us media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cobbled apple last thursday. applause happened to one of its
8:19 am
entrances, where afghans were waiting in line, the process to fly out. at least a 170 people were killed. the pending documents linked to political magazine claims that the u. k. had asked american forces to keep a gated cobble apple open to help get british national out. despite a possible terror threat. for in secretary dominic rob says that allegation is just not true. while another government ministers accused us of indulging in a 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 saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. we also form a british counterterrorism intelligence office, a child to bridge about how such an operation should go in
8:20 am
a high risk situation like that. and 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, you could manufacture bomb alerts like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation. i thought after time, even before the chapter plays, 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 be because of course, that disclose the festival. there is a source that is disclosing this kind of information. i'm 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he was colleagues of that. he was nice. there was information been
8:21 am
given that he might, he or she might be on their way a changing direction shortly. we get a rare glimpse of life on a russian nuclear icebreaker on a mission to the top of the world. but then for cruise with a bit of a difference in barking very shortly after the break. oh, i use join me every thursday on the alex simon 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 long, long when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't rule out the thing
8:22 am
because after an engagement equal betrayal, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy fontaine, and let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk the again, look at life on board the russian nuclear icebreaker. next, the ships called 50 years of victory is one of the largest of its type. usually its main job is to guide tankers through rushes,
8:23 am
frozen northern seas. but in the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world. rather than 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 year because it has suitable environment and harsh climates. so like 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 played a lot of stuff around us is considered. technically i'm not even allowed to film here. live throw caution to the wind and check out why the giant,
8:24 am
behind me is an ice breaker called 50 years, a victory. that is go to take it 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 that things are like, 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 yeah. humming of the ship's nuclear reactors. the 50 years of victory was launched in 1993 and as the world's 2nd largest nuclear icebreaker. it
8:25 am
used to be number one until recently with them the arctic again lot which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries also have icebreaker is, but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy. this is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding apartment complex been 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
8:26 am
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. nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers are admire how rocket can get in the ocean. the room has what look, it even has a humidifier and it also has it see me, but only 2 channels. one shows you of 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 gaze in the window enjoy using our big news. the icebreaker uses the energy of nuclear reactors which can power small town if
8:27 am
need be their operating 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 signs 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 plate level. a special alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken up with 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 has to look like somebody coming up next. we were
8:28 am
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 breaker allowing for the way of doing 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 level bang for your buck with your average crews, isn't it? right? get more stories and programs at all if you don't call me and also on youtube channel. that's it for the moscow news room for now though, your next update from us. is it just over half an hour? see it? oh, i
8:29 am
8:30 am
are you going the right way or are you being somewhere which direction? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted, you need to this end. the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows ah, in psyche hattrick drugs are essential for millions of patients. or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term. they really work, the problem is in a long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition that was meant to treat instead of a beneficial effect.
