greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large arms 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, the, the, the, the extraordinary success in this mission critical skills, gravely selfless courage, united states, military and our diplomats. in the headlines this september, the 1st president biden defends america's hasty withdrawal from afghanistan, stressing the outstanding results of the mission, despite the chaos and bloodshed that the us military's final days that be all

designed. we don't want to be in that. it's a choice and i'm please, please, please, i beg you to, to, to rescue from british national stranded in cobble plead for help of the foreign secretary of mit. she's unaware of the exact number of citizens who were left in afghanistan. the german government also facing scrutiny over it selected failures during the carbon evacuation and the limited number of local workers. it managed to rescue ah hello, good, happy with a slide for moscow. this is the international. my name is connie bray. both the program have gone down to the 2nd day of its posting us reality with cobbled international airport now devoid of western troops that under the full control of the taliban cruise,

their film this exclusive footage in the past few hours. the last us planes flew out on monday night and since tuesday morning, taliban fighters have been strolling around the facility, hundreds of vomit vehicles can be seen abandoned cobble apples. and i'll respond and tells us visa, western diplomatic cars lined up as an extra barricade during the hasty evacuation . and president biden's, given a glaring endorsements of america the longest war he even went so far as to say, the ask admission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and bloodshed of recent days now, just bordering that you might find some of the upcoming content upsetting, extraordinary success. and this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. it was designed to save american lives, the families 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 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 or and, but if we don't, if for 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 realities 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 recreation process appears to have

been egregiously mishandled. in order to move forward, we need 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 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 animal to national agreement or operation. trust in the united states is irreparably damaged. now, after 20 years, the war and ask dana, stan, seem 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, biden blamed his predecessor, donald trump for the abruptness of the us withdrawal. although some of the precedence remarks were remarkably similar to the things trump previously said, is found indeed an error for major military operations to re make other countries the ear of nation building will be brought to a very well i placement was not found by anything from it and the evidence of that is all the other things trump has done that biden has undone as quickly as possible. so whiten 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 by 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 hand, 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. meanwhile, in the se, in city of host, the taliban held a mock funeral. so i was did foreign forces, draping, se coffins with us, nato, british, and french flags. there were also some banners of the defeated islamic republic of

afghanistan, now replaced by the white flag of the taliban. islamic emerett. other also reports from the pan sheer valley north of cobbled where at least 7 opposition fighters were reportedly killed in classes with the taliban on monday night since the fall of the african capital on august the 15th. and she has been the only province to hold out against the militants. we spoke to a representative of the national resistance front of afghanistan about the development we are not fighting. busy to deepen the risk to exacerbate the ethnic grievances, we are resisting. we 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 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 had 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 a global conflict. recognizing the islamic camera, it's will just be legitimizing international termism. the system is not a system that should be acceptable in the 21st century. anyone who recognizes and asli mchenry will be betraying the people of afghanistan for years. there's been a point of view in the west that the defeat of the soviet union in afghanistan, the $900.00 was a precursor for the collapse. the ussr of serbian american journalists, new portia, and mileage is expanded on that idea. no opinion piece for all t dot com questioning. if it's now america's turn to crumble, you'll find plenty more angles and so provoking pieces right now on our website.

meanwhile, the russian foreign ministry says moscow, beijing, washington and islamic bad plan to hold a meeting and cobble as soon as the situation in afghanistan stabilizes on the airport reopens for russia. of course, the region is a top priority for national security and president putin views the entire u. s. campaign in afghanistan as a disaster. so we to get to the police when you look at the events unfolding now near russia. i mean, i've gotten this done for 20 years. us soldiers have been on american 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 on the political structure of society. and what did that bring them? only tragedies? the lynn struggling to evacuate afghan staff who held german forces and it's facing questions over why up to 40000 personnel is still stuck in the country despite previous promises. peter, all of a has the story. 4587,

that the exact number of people germany was able to lift out of cobble, a jump, langler merkel, was pretty clear about who had priority for evacuation is up to the if you will continue their vocation, alteration for as long as possible, in order to make it possible for evidence who worked with us for security, freedom, the rule of law and development to leave the country. however, while just under $4000.00, if that number were oscar 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. 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 cale thick 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.

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 of the guns would refuse to be drawn on how they should get out of the country. i would not come and turn 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 indicators 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 and british foreign secretary dominic rob is right now facing a drilling by m. p. 's on the foreign affairs committee. ministers have been getting a lot of heat up over the government policy and i've got to stand in recent weeks. rob himself though, recently blamed the u. k. defense ministry for being unprepared for the taliban. swift victory reporting from westminster. his k. partridge. foreign secretary, dominate. rob is appearing before the foreign affairs select committee in the house of commons to face questions by, by bench m. p 's over his actions during the withdrawal from a gun histone by the us and its allies. and this comes a day after the tv interview, where he indicated that military intelligence failures led to the rapid fall of last got on to the taliban in effect, blaming the ministry of defense. so it was an intelligence threatening. i think there's clearly questions around this session was clearly wrong, but allison festival that was shared widely across international partners and certainly not the the foreign offices lead responsibility,

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 boss. the foreign secretary had 18 months to prepare, but was missing in action as a result on his watch, which has become weaker in the world and faces greater risks from terrorism. 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, great to generosity and speed because time was not on our side. the response to that was very disappointing. while a senior foreign office saw in says rob had been talking more broadly about the

intelligence provided and denies. rob was 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 offering for dominic rob under the spotlight of the select committee, that's going on you k, national, still stranded in afghanistan, a pleading with the government for help. although the 5000 british citizens have been evacuated from cobble hundreds are still believed to be left in the capital. one of them share 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 probably go out and i'm just like looking around and looking, you might be fine if someone gun man come to to to, to kill us or took us somewhere. i'm trying to go, or johnson and the foreign minister. and we all, we all best to sit designed we, we don't want to be in this situation. i'm please, please, please, i beg you to, to, to rescue from here of separately, foreign secretary robbers flatly denied a claim in the us media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cobble. apple last thursday, last happened to one of its entrances, where afghans were waiting in line to be processed to fly out. at least a 170 people were killed by the pentagon, documents leak to political magazine claims that the u. k. had off the american forces to keep a gate, a couple apple open to help get british nationals out despite

a possible terror threat. u. k. foreign secretary says that allegation is just not true while that other 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. what is happening on the ground. it's a 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 british counter terror intelligence office, a child shoot bridge. how such an operation should go in such a high risk situation? the 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 that you constantly shut down the operation every time that as a towel or not. because if you do so, of course you just had an initiative to groups such as the iso,

perhaps even the taliban themselves. you could simply manufacture palm alerts like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation to act the time, even before the capture 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 disclose the festival, there is a source that is disclosing this confirmation. and secondly, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure his, he was colleagues, that he was nice. there was information been given that he might he or she might be on their way. okay, changing direction in a couple of minutes, get a glimpse of life on a russian nuclear icebreaker on a mission to the top of the world. portable then for cruise with a bit of a difference, symbolic in very shortly after the break the

the ah me, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, 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,

very political time. time to sit down and talk me the news. the read. look at life on boards, russian nuclear icebreaker. next ships called 50 is a victory and it's one of the largest of its site. now usually its main job is to guide tankers through rushes, frozen northern seas. but in the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world. a roving correspondent to 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 the year because it has sort of a lead environment and harsh climate. so back a lot, we're going all the way to the nord ah, the word to morning from the man's god, the whole board of world only nuclear ice breaker played a lot of stuff round as 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 icebreaker called 50 years, a victory. that is go 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 tours to the north pole, normally trip like this would cost up to $50000.00. but this time the ice breaker

is booked for russian. a grade students have got taken as a reward for their studies. and also, i guess you could say that things are 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 used to be number one until recently, but then the arctic again line, which is even bigger and more powerful other countries to have ice breakers. but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy. this is huge. i mean, it's basically like a rebuilding apartment complex, but placing 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, both the gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar. given a swimming pool filled with salty water. that way you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker left to death and dark habit. though nothing fancy, why it has everything we need. we found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers. now reminder 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 gaze in the window and 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. it's telling that the only books they keep on a shelf in the room are 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 a bruise which have only limited access in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the state level. a special alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measure taken up should be told, the reactors are safe, it is more likely you will be blown overboard by strong wind legal. there was a radiation on the ship look like somebody coming up next. we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. it's and we're approaching the edge of the world. well, this is what it feels like the icebreaker allowing for the ice. everything i'm doing

it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spots on the i don't know . let me say it again. we are on top of the well. ok from the top of the world, going underground with fashion returns in london in a few moments after which i'll have united global update from r t international. see you then the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, accept where's the shorter the 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 to take on various jobs

with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence with the with dom action or 10 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 your favorite episodes of this season coming up in the show. the conversation with one of the

greatest filmmakers of all time, all of us stone, 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, j f k revisited through the looking glass currently premiering at the cabin film festival. and academy award. winna oliver stone joins me now from the festival. thanks so much. all of 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 to have a the movie in your new documentary. what is the relevance in case people are going always not talking about kennedy again, the relevance to joe biden, who was bombing, syria, and iraq only the past few weeks was the relevant to the current whitehouse of this

documentary. well i again, i think that the relevant is the main point.
