to the populations of different nations. if nato disbanded 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, it has been barely a date that the american troops have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. and it is a mess. it is a mess. it is all but destroyed putin, the civilian part of the airport. this is say on the way a special report from our team app cobble apple,

now under the full control of the taliban in the wake of the us pull out extraordinary success of this mission. the credible skill, gravely selfless courage is united states military in our diplomats. president biden defends america's hasty withdrawal from afghanistan, stressing the missions out standing results, despite the chaos and bloodshed, the big us military final days. british national stranded in cobble please the help of the foreign secretary of mit. she's unaware of the exact number of citizens still left in afghanistan. ah hi there. good to happy with. this is our fee for moscow is just 6 pm on wednesday . here in the russian capital is 7 30 pm in afghanistan and the 2nd day of its post us reality with cobble airport now devoid of western troops and under the full

control of the taliban. us ahmed vehicles, helicopters, dog crates can now be seen abandoned outside the terminals. i'll senior correspondent rad garcia is out the airport and i sent this exclusive report. it has been barely a day that american troops of have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. we have been able to walk around the various agnes the various sections of the airport and it is a mess. it is a method is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport. the taliban authorities are now clearing away all the bob, while the trash will be exploded munitions, which we saw plenty of mortar rounds, grenades, munitions. aside from that, we also saw the military vehicles, the helicopters, the jets left behind by the united states. one of the black hawk helicopter were left behind the house with the evacuation. the united states has said that one of

the girls have been sabotaged. we can see suddenly sign that the was for example of being caught, there are various electric blocks that's missing and a lot of electronic equipment lying around near the, the hanger and obviously a sledgehammer with something of the sort to be taken to them. other than that, we also went to the civilian terminal and what we saw, all the computers have be destroyed, the cameras knocked out the lights, even the screens, the departures and arrivals they were, they were knocked down and destroyed, smashed the the airport as i say, a brad, we had for now is, is known functions would be impossible to get it functional for civilian floods in the, in the immediate future. but as i say, the, the weapons that we saw,

most of them, the heavy weapons of the vehicles such as such as such as these behind us have been sabotaged, have been destroyed here the, the dog, great. of course such such stuff online about the abandoned dogs left behind by the military. well, the dogs, dogs were left behind. they weren't all evacuated, but they weren't kept. they weren't in the crates. when the tyler by the rod will let go by american troops. those that believe in last, 2 food crates were cut open to allow them to eat the taliban. when they came in these, they saw these dogs running around all over the airport. they weren't aggressive, they were seemingly confused and different to the version that's been described in british, the british press and specific that the taliban had said that these dogs the death,

know they tell us they're, they've caught some of them. they're going to catch the rest. and put them back into military service in an ironic twist. u. s. military dogs now serving the taliban. president biden's giving a glowing endorsements of america as long as the war he went so far as to say, the gotten mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and bloodshed of recent days, just a warning you might find some of the upcoming content of setting. extraordinary success in 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 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 any more 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 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. if there's american citizens left, we're going to stay to get them all out. now we believe that about 100 or 200 americans, we may, nap, can stand with some intention to leave. and for those remaining americans, there is no deadline. 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 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 important that 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 advance 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 dan 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 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 bite and blamed his predecessor donald from for the abruptness of the us withdrawal. the some of the president's remarks were remarkably similar to things trumpet previously said. his phone and need an ear of major military operations to re make other countries the ear of nation building will be brought to a very yeah, placement 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 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 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. meanwhile, enough kind of stand southeast and city of host the taliban held a mock funeral for the as did foreign forces, draping, se coffins with us, nato, british, and french flags that were also banners of the defeated islamic republic of afghanistan, now replaced with the white flag of the taliban islamic amorous developments this afternoon. the british foreign secretary has just finished around 2 hours of grilling from foreign affairs committee and peace. dominic rob and other senior

ministers have been getting a lot of haste over the government's handling of the afghanistan pull out. described by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy and a generation by watching across for us live in westminster, corresponding k paul to tie again. so for those 2 hours then what came out of it? yes, foreign secretary dominate raw has been facing some rigorous questions by the foreign affairs select committee in parliament over his own actions during the withdrawal from afghanistan by the us and its allies and the committee grilled him on several key issues. rob was on holiday is the afghan situation was unfolding. returning on the evening to cobble fell to the taliban. but he said a modern foreign secretary was capable of working from abroad. the committee repeated the asked rob to give the dates when he was on crete, which he wouldn't. another crunch point was about numbers. did the foreign secretary know how many u. k. in foreign nationals and vulnerable people had been left behind in afghanistan, which he couldn't apparently answer. rob also delegated

a key telephone call to the african foreign minister to a junior minister, a call, which didn't ultimately happen. but the foreign secretary believes the efforts in the u. k. much those on the ground. and the key questions when asked rob doesn't believe that he should resign or have anything to apologize for the conference numbers remaining. but we think that they would be in the low hundreds, why 100, you mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean to under $3400.00? they will be low, hundreds 100 sounds that it could be $400.00 or it could be 105-101-1518 month prepare, prepare for variation. and you just said today that in the last 6 months you have 40 me about about the harvest situation. and we ended up with a position with 3 different departments. branch 3 different help lines and hotline, which we're not paying answered. and your department had an african special cases email address that wasn't even been open in life and death cases who is responsible

for that? chaos on the ground when i think except that categorization again, for the sake of conspiracy of your own actions, when did you go and holiday will be did you go and holiday invested in what they are? what they did you go? i made. what date would you go holiday for me? sadly, who stayed? i think the own personal transparencies reports and what date and holiday made. also clear. why should the statement put the date that material times? why? why can't you just answer this question. almost approaching astray towns dominic rob facing and pays you k partridge. a little bit earlier there's you can national still stranded in afghanistan, a pleading with the government for help. although the $5000.00 british citizens have been evacuated from cobble hundreds, i still believe to be left in the capital. one of them's been sharing his fears with us. i'll offer taliban around. yeah. and a lot of people they know that i came from britain and i'm just scared. if i come,

i 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 for a minute. and we all, we all best to sit does and we, we don't want this be in this situation. i'm please, please, please, i beg you to, to, to rescue from here separately. foreign secretary rob has flatly denied a claim in the us media. the britain mobile indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber in the cobbled apple last thursday. the blast happened to one of its entrances, where afghans were waiting in line to be processed the fly out. at least a 170 people were killed. but a pendant can document lead to political magazine claims that the u. k. it asked american forces to keep a gate 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 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 saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. we asked for my british counter terrorism intelligence officer charles through bridge house sheltering operations should go in such a high risk situation. end of the day. if you've only got one or 2 or 3 days left to carry out your evaluation, it could be argued that 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 the iso, perhaps even the taliban themselves. you could simply manufacture like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation to act time. even before the capture 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 the airport. because of course, that discloses the 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 his son, he was colleague so that he was nice, there was information you've been given that he might, he or she might be on their way. now for years to the point of view in the west, at the defeat of the soviet union, and i've got a stat in the 1980 was precursor to the collapse of the ussr. be an american journalist. natasha knowledge has expanded on that idea. in an opinion piece for dot com questioning. if it's now america's turn to crumbled, you'll find plenty of all wrangles and thought provoking please. he's on our website right now. move all the russian foreign ministry says moscow, beijing,

washington, and his lam, a bad plan to hold a meeting in cobble. as soon as the situation in afghanistan stabilizes in the airport reopens for russia, of course, the region is a top priority for national security and president posting views. the entire u. s. campaign in afghanistan has a disaster. so we took out, would you, please, would you look at the events unfolding now near russia? i mean, i've got 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 on the political structure of society. and what did that bring them? only tragedies change of direction after the break get a glimpse of life on our russian nuclear ice breaker on a mission into the top of the world, portable them for cruise with a bit of a difference. embarking in around to minute

the join me every thursday on the alex summon, 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 media a reflection of reality the in a world transformed. what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? direct? what is true? what is in

a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows, ah, in the low again, the red look at life on board. her russian nuclear icebreaker, next the ships called at 50 years. victory is one of the largest of its type. usually its main job is to guide tankers through rushes, frozen northern seeds, but in the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world. a roving corresponded volta 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 and gets only a 1000 visitors year because it has sort of a lead environment that harsh climate. so like a lot,

we're going all the way to the north. ah, we're departing from the media more man's god. the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker played a lot of stuff round as is considered. technically, i'm not. hello, you're still here. i live, throw caution to the wind and check out my the giant behind me is an icebreaker called 50 years, a victory that is going to take us to the north pole. the ice breakers main job is to guide tankers through russia, frozen northern seas. but in the summer, when it's downtime the ship carries the tories 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 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 yeah. 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 also have icebreaker is, but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy. this is a 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. 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. technically, you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let step in dark habit. though nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we've 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

a tv but only 2 channels. one shows you the route and the other one gives you the view from the ship foul. 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 gaze 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. it's telling that the only books to 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 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 sleep 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 we have to look like some writing on coming up next we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. we're approaching the edge of the world. well this is what it feels like a high b icebreaker allowing for the way of doing it. 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 i go now it fills out the term fascism get thrown around. increasingly these days i was able helping you understand why it's alarming reemergence should not be taken lightly fascism history to nazi original 100. as here next the while the make note certainly no board is blind to nationalities as emerge. we don't, we don't actually the whole world leads to take action and be ready. not a joke. people are judge. 2 governors crisis

we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges wait for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the war on drugs, nodded as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota. and it's got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a tragic, told us that andrew was competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college

student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else to be happening. awe on november, the $945.00, just a month after the war ended. ah, the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9 me select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s. was devastated by the united states last about 400000 people. had the brits last less than the americans bid, and your soviets suffered 27000000 deaths. me 27000000. there's an

incredible number. i john kennedy has american university commerce that address at 963. he said that with the soviet suffered a world war 2 was the equivalent of the entire united states, eastern chicago having been destroyed, ah, initially the plan to attack the u. s. s. was code named trojan over time and devolved into pincher bush lanka, crankshaft half moon, cog wheel off tackle and sharia. december 19th, 1949, saw the adoption of the best known plan to wipe out the soviets, ah, operation dropshot, date of attack. january the 1st 1957. ah

the plan outlined the complete annihilation of the u. s. s. under the democratic guys of liberating the nations from communism that was very nations would be wiped out along with communism. in the 1st phase of authoration dropped shot and visited dropping 300 nuclear and 250000 tons of conventional bombs on the soviet union. in 100 soviet cities were pre selected as targets. the 2nd phase in the ussr is attacked by 250 nato divisions. so your thoughts are taken over by nato naval forces. the 3rd phase, annihilating the ussr, wiping it off the world map. to that end, all new weapons types had to be deployed nuclear, chemical, radiological, and biological,

as well as small arms. the final phase breaking the ussr into 4 zones and posting nato troops on its territory. the more than 18000000 people. the majority of the huge countries population would have died in the intense bombing and subsequent fighting. we have a series of these kinds of war plans. when kennedy is briefed on them in the early sixty's, there was our advice, you know, and he said, we call ourselves the human race. but these plans continue for preemptive attacks against the soviet union. mm. this was in essence an updated version of the nazi general plan. aust, that envisaged eliminating millions of slavic people.
