because the, the skill back to the left on the left of the me and the, the the, the british foreign secretary is quizzed by m. p. 's over his questionable handling of the crisis in afghanistan. why he was relaxing on a beach when cobble fell to the taliban. when did you board holiday will be speaking for the holidays. so they didn't. they are what i made for the holiday phones that had stayed. i think the own personal transparencies important. what

date, holiday has been barely a day that the american troops have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. this method is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport, plus a special report coming up from cobble airport, which is now under the full control of the taliban in the wake of the us. extraordinary success of this mission. the credible skill gravely sculpus courage and united states military and our diplomat and president biden defense americans, hasty withdrawal from afghanistan, stressing the missions outstanding result, despite the chaos and bloodshed of the us military's final days. i,

the life and worldwide. this is the all tea for moscow. my name is colin bright. welcome to the program 1st that the british foreign secretary has been facing a grilling by foreign affairs committee and peace. this wednesday, dominic rob and other senior ministers have been getting a lot of heat over the government's handling of the afghanistan pull out, described by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation. it is important for us to do what we're doing and where you are doing it from. when did you book hold on me. i'm not looking to brush over this. i just want to know when you went things. when did you little bit when the facts on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on, on the grunge scale. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? went to i'm not sure i have to check if you would like to know the busiest, very, have to come back to 3rd grade what seems particularly ready because high come us

was recently started arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a route the work stream, the effectively from germany in terms of your own leadership, in your own actions. up until this point, did you ever, at any point consider offer to reside? now i consider getting home with the job or watching across the ro saying was our correspondent in westminster, k partridge. hi there. i think it a bit testy at times, didn't it? how did it go? as foreign secretary dominate. rob has been facing some rigorous questions by the foreign affairs select committee over his actions during the withdrawal form. a gun is done by the us and its allies. it comes a day after a tv interview where he indicated that military intelligence failures led to the rapid fall of the country to the taliban in effect, blaming the ministry of defense. but a form ahead of the army. hit back at rob over suggestions that thousands of afghans eligible to come to the u. k were left behind and said the government had

been forewarned about the situation. and numbers were a key question for the committee. did the foreign secretary know how many u. k and for a national, long, vulnerable people were still in afghanistan, which apparently he couldn't answer. confident 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 10510115 . i'm. if i could give you any more precision, cuz i would let me somewhere between 10500, so let me explain. k nationals. so let me explain why it's difficult. there were also questions about rob's role in the evacuation. he delegated a key telephone call to the ask on foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen. rob is off how often he telephoned ministers in

other countries to help us as what was needed during the withdraw process. but the foreign secretary believe the efforts in the u. k. much those on the ground who will take responses helpline and the email address in your department, not even being opened. so the, the issue as you have a search for the door is that you have a search of emails including late emails and requests like that. but let me just explain the situation. just purely transparency. we got the 3 types of cases. they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't use 3 different question question. you're going back to the question from, from what i will find. but i would use one process, how career problems other examples they don't people laugh and other widely anticipated question was about robs holiday. the foreign secretary was on the island of creases. the afghan situation was unfolding and he returned on the

evening off the cobble fell to the taliban. rob said a modern foreign secretary was capable of working from abroad, that the committee repeatedly asked him to give them the dates on which he was away . and he wouldn't for the sake of conspiracy, vehicle and actions. when did you go to hold the, what did you go and holiday didn't? what did they are? what they did you go? i made what date was holiday foreign secretary of state. i think your own personal transparencies reports and what date you and holiday made? how clear i should have the student put the date material times. why, why can't you just on to this question? as to the big questions when asked dominate, rob didn't believe that he should resign or has anything to apologize for though almost almost after almost 2 hours of questions. it remains a case of wait and see to discover if there will be any consequences for the current foreign secretary. i guess we both know the answer to that the way. okay. it, westminster. k. partridge. thanks for that. meantime, separately,

foreign secretary rob has flatly denied a claim in the us media. the britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cobble apple last thursday. last happened at one of its entrances, where afghans were waiting in line to be processed to fly out. at least a 170 people were killed. but a pentagon document leak to political magazine claims that the u. k. had asked american forces to keep a gated cobble airport open to help get british nationals out despite that possible terror threat. the 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 assets. what is happening on the ground? it's a scalar. 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. or we've asked for my british counter

terrorism, intelligence officer tells shoe bridge how such an operation 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 evacuation, it could be argued that you constantly shut down the operation every time that there's a time. because if you do so, of course you should have an initiative to group such as the iso, perhaps even the taliban themselves. you could simply manufacture alerts like that . and therefore, by disrupt the operation i saw after time, even before in chapter place, 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 disclosure at festival, there is a source that is disclosed misconduct information. i'm 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure his son,

he was colleagues or that he was nice, there was information you've been given that e mail or he or she might be on their way. i've kind of sent of course, just now in the 2nd day of its post to us reality with cobble airport now devoid of western troops and under the full control of the taliban, us on vehicles, helicopters and ammunition can be seen abandoned outside the terminals. i'll see the correspond mariah garcia is at the airport and sent this exclusive report. it has been barely a day that the american troops of have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. we have been able to walk around the various hagney, 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 and the authorities are now clearing away. will the barbed wire will the will, the tracks 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 have said that all the girls have been sabotaged. they can see suddenly sign that the y, as for example, of have been caught. there are various electric blocks 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 are the, the dog crates, of course, such, such a stuff online about the abandoned dogs, left behind by the united states 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 right, they will let go. buy 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 ironic twist. u. s. military dogs now serving the taliban. president biden's, giving a glowing endorsements of america's longest war even went so far as to say the african mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos, bloodshed of recent days, just a warning 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 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 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 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. 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 remain afghans, then, 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 evacuation 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 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 nan seems to have come to an end, at least for america,

joe biden is taking credit for finally bringing the troops home. however, the manner in which he did it has many questioning his competency. we've got a situation where it looks like august is wrapping up to be the worst month yet for the biden white house. caleb martin, r t new york, despite his claims of success biden blamed his predecessor, donald trump for the abruptness of the us withdraw. although some of the president's remarks were remarkably similar to the things trump previously said, spoke in need an ear of major military operations to re make other countries the year of nation building will be brought to a very brighton 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 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, like closing back run, shrinking our footprint. you have 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 play me credit for doing good because that will fool the 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 back to the here. and now this is i've got to stand se and city of host, which is say the taliban hold a mock funeral for the i was did foreign forces, draping, se coffins with us, nato,

british, and french flags that were also balance of the defeated islamic republic of afghan, his time now replaced with the white flag of the taliban says la mic emerett. now there's been a point of view in the west, the defeat of the soviet union, and i've got a stand in the 1980 was a precursor for the collapse of the ussr of serbian american journalists. and the voice of knowledge expands on that idea. in an opinion piece for all t dot com questioning, if it's now america, this turn to crumble plenty more angle sample provoking piece is online now at all c dot com. ah, meantime, the russian foreign ministry says moscow by james washington and his lam about plan to hold a meeting in cobble the soon as the situation. and i've got to stand stabilizes at the airport reopens for russia. the region is a top priority for national security and president putin views the entire us campaign in afghanistan as a disaster. so we to get to the preschool, you look at the events unfolding 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 on the political structure of society. and what did that bring them? only tragedies a change of direction off for the brake, get a rag glimpse of life on a russian nuclear icebreaker on a mission to the top of the world. all of all done for a cruise with a bit of a difference in barking and to minute oh, i use driven aging shaped banks control center. those vision in

me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, what got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even 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 ah ah hello

again, right now time for a read look at life on the board of russian nuclear icebreaker. next, the beast you can see behind me is called 50 years victory, and it is one of the largest ships of its type are usually its main job is to guide tankers through rushes and frozen northern seas. but in the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world. now, roving reporter 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, it has sort of a lead environment and harsh climate. so like a lot, we're going all the way to the north.

the were the morning from the city of more man, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker played a lot of stuff round as is considered. technically, i'm not even allowed to film here. my throw caution to the wind and check out why 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 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 tickets as a reward for their studies. and also, i guess you could say those 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 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 with them the arctic again line, which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries have icebreakers, but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy. this is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding apartment complex but place platform because of its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now, 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, sea water. technically, you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let the depth and dark habit, nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we've 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 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 is 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 rooms which have only limited access in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the level official alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken up. should be told, the reactors are safe, it is more likely you will be blown overboard by strong winds. leave those

radiation on this ship. we can look like coming up next. we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. it's and we're approaching we as over the world well, this is what it feels like. the ice breaker allowing for the ice, everything late. and 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 i ok, we're in washington. next is scotty. now he's and guess take on the days big

developments after which andrew pharma will be here with you next. something from archie in moscow. thanks for watching. oh i, i, i catera 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 it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can bill. so of all ills, or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like, i was just scared. i was just care a little girl, the 24. and like i didn't have to be so complicated the families that mark i took marking function, you have a good way to check

me to hold. you know, i'm john got that. i've got that limit and i wanted them to be back to the left me about the less about i get up there for us, let me use and there is nothing more valuable than human life. and as the last american soldier of the plane to leave afghanistan, hundreds of americans, and those who have aided the us military, lost even more hope celebrations, parade,

mach funerals for americans. nato allies were held, and the gunfire was heard throughout the bull. as the taliban not only celebrated their victory began to inventory all the millions of dollars the equipment which was left behind. and while the vital ministration continues to compliment the taliban and say the military equipment left with the commission and not working condition, disturbing images and videos of taliban members, gloating in u. s. gear carrying us weapons and flying us helicopters. please surface, this is taliban leaders boasted the air filter will now be a base for jihad, for almost. we're going to bring you the latest from the region as well as the truth about the weapons left behind are still capable of. so here in the usa, the f b, i found a recent attack on a police station in dallas, which called a lift driver, was inspired by foreign terrorist. is this assigned for the future. and where your children are spending too much time playing video games?

well, one country has decided they are going to be the ones to turn the.
