this is the 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 that. something else had to be happening with the the headlines is the british foreign secretary is quiz by and pays over his questionable handling if the crisis enough gun to stand why he was relaxing on the beach when coupled fell to the taliban. when did you really wouldn't be interested in what he did? what i made, what date was holiday phone secretary, who said, i think your own personal transparencies reports. what date,

holiday made proof that it has been barely a day that the american troops have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital. airport is a mess. it is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport or to this we get exclusive access to control and port. now the grip of the taliban off the us plank. and extraordinary success of this mission through the credible skill. gravely helpless courage of united states military and our diplomat. resin biden defend american hasty patrol from afghanistan and price emissions outstanding result despite the chaos and bloodshed seen during the final day. ah, good evening, just going to talk in moscow. you're watching international. the british foreign
1:02 pm
secretary has been facing a grilling by foreign affairs committee, m p. 's this wednesday, dominic rob and other senior ministers have been getting a lot of heat over the government's handling of the afghanistan, polite, and was described by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy in the generation. it is important for us to know what we're doing and where you are doing it from. when did you book hold on? i'm with you. i'm not looking to brush over this. i just want to know when you went things. when did you want? when in fact, on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on, on grunt scale. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop went to perspective. i'm not sure i'd have to check if you would like to know the busiest, very have to come back to 3rd grade what seems particularly random because high come us was recently started arranging the evacuation of young people through tashkent and it seems to be
1:03 pm
a route that works for me actually from germany in terms of your own leadership in your own actions pop until this point. did you ever, at any point consider offer to reside? now i consider getting home with the job. 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, claiming 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 can we see? did the foreign secretary know how many u. k and 4 national long vulnerable people were still in afghanistan, which apparently he couldn't answer. confident numbers remain, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why? 100, you mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean under $3400.00? they will be low, hundreds 100 sounds that it could be $400.00 or it could be 10510115
1:04 pm
. i'm, if i could give you any more precision because i would let me somewhere between 10500. so let me explain. k nationals. so let me explain why it's difficult. there are also questions about rob's role in the evacuation. he del, created a key telephone call to the ask on foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen. ra off. how often he telephoned ministers in other countries to help assess 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 response with the help line 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 request like that. but let me just explain the situation for you. just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases.
1:05 pm
they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't use 3 question question. you're going back to the question from that, from that i'm really fine. but other countries use one process, calculator problems, other examples they don't need. another 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, but the committee repeatedly asked him to give them the dates on which he was away and he wouldn't for the sake of conspiracy of your own actions. when did you for the holiday will be did you go and holiday interested in what they are? what they did to go? i made. what date would you go holiday for me? sadly. who stayed? i think your own personal transparencies important. what date and holiday made? how clear i should have the statement to put the date that material times. why,
1:06 pm
why can you just on this question? i asked the big questions when asked dominant 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, k potter's reporting now well, let me mile foreign sexy rob has flatly deny declaim in u. s. media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into couple ad pool. last thursday, the blast happened. one of its entrances where afghans were waiting in line to be processed, the fly acts and at least 170 people were killed. pen can document leads to the political magazine to suggest that the american forces kept the airports main gate open despite knowing it was a prime target for terrorists in order to latch british personnel evacuate us, the u. k. foreign secretary says that allegation is just not true. while another
1:07 pm
government minister has a keys, the us have indulging in the 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 weren't. which suggest saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. well, we are the former british counter terrorism intelligence officer charles, she bridge about how such an operation should be carried out given the high risks involved 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 town 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 bomb alerts like
1:08 pm
that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation to act the time even before the capture 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, not disclose the success of all. there is a source that is disclosing this kind of information and secondly, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he was colleagues, that he was nice there was information been given that he might, he or she might be on their way. what kind of stand is in the 2nd day of his post us reality with cabal airport. now devoid of western troops, none the, the full control of the taliban, us almond vehicles, helicopters and munition can i be seen to abandon the site? the terminals where our senior correspondent, motor gas is at the airport and sent this exclusive report. it has been barely
1:09 pm
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 hangers, the various sections of the airport and it is a mess. it is a mess. it is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport, the taliban and the authorities are now clearing away all the above. while the will, the trash will be exploded munitions, which we saw plenty of mortar rounds grenades, i munition. aside from that, we also saw the military vehicles, the helicopters, the jets left behind by the united states. what the black hawk helicopter were left behind. as the evacuation the united states have said that all the girls have been sabotaged. we can see suddenly sign that the y, as for example of being caught, there are various electric blocks that are missing and
1:10 pm
a lot of electronic equipment lying around near the, the hanger. and obviously a sledgehammer was 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 non function 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 and such as these behind us, have been sabotaged to have been destroyed. here are the, the dog crates that, of course, such, such
1:11 pm
a stuff online about the abandon dogs left behind by the military. well, the dogs. yeah. the 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, what cuts open to allows 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 being 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
1:12 pm
were against the reporting from couple airport there will. president biden, meanwhile, has given a glowing endorsement of america's longest war and even said that the afghan mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and the bloodshed seen over recent days, a word of warning, he might find some of the upcoming content upsetting. extraordinary success. 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
1:13 pm
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 $100.00 to $200.00 americans. we may nap dance dance 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,
1:14 pm
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 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,
1:15 pm
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 in afghanistan seemed 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 whitehouse. caleb martin, r t new york will despite his claims of success biden blamed his predecessor,
1:16 pm
donald trump. the abruptness of the us drew holo, some of the president's remarks were pretty similar to statements made by trump. in the past spoke in need an ear of major military operations to re make other countries the ear of nation building will be brought to a very brighton was not bound 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 bite and started backwards by removing our position of strength, like closing back run, shrinking our footprint, you half the size of an airport in the city of 4000000 people and then making it impossible to defend that by drawing down the military as he goes until there's not
1:17 pm
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 me more and i'm going to stand se and city. of course the taliban held a mock funeral for the ice. did foreign forces draping face coffins with us, night british and also french flags rural. so the banners of the defeated his public off. ganna. stan that's not being replaced with the white flag of the taliban, islamic emerald sourcing. he still had few reg glimpse of life on a russian nuclear icebreaker automation to the top of the world. joining on board, recruit with a different just off the brand the
1:18 pm
1:19 pm
into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk soon. ah, again now yet another you bought a crisis, shows a little sign of a baiting in august i made a surgeon migrant crossing poland. president asked was asked to declare a state of emergency in 2 regions bordering non block member, better roost. poland pm blamed the batteries president for the problem. we have to stop these aggressive hybrid actions which carried out according to the script written in minsk and by mister lucas. and because patterns,
1:20 pm
that is why we decided to propose such a solution to mister president, it was increased this curious of our eastern border even more if approved, it will be the 1st time such a state has existed in the area since the cold war will last almost a month and restrict movements in 2 provinces. last month, poland registered thousands of attempts to legally cross its board is 3 belly race also, along with some other countries, believe that the crossings are being encouraged by president shank in retaliation to the blocks sanctions. now, in a bid to keep illegal migrants i, poland does plan to erect offence along the border. meantime, it has been drawing criticism for refusing to let in a group of african strand between the 2 countries. for 3 weeks political on this give a doctor, i shared his perspective on the situation. i think this statement about possible state of emergency is simply political posturing by the polish
1:21 pm
government. if we were to consider this, on its merits, its its complete foolishness. they are speaking, i understand of several 100 possible refugees coming in. so put this in comparison or contrast with the experience of going back to 2015. when i wasn't a few 100 applicants for for migrant status or put people stealing across the border, tens of thousands and finally hundreds of thousands who were marching across the european border. and i think that is very relevant to look at the map. how are these people supposed to get to bella luce so that they can then form a contingent marching into poland or into the baltic states?
1:22 pm
this is not generally, this is not a country that has an island. just a few dozen kilometers from the libyan coast. and which faced enormous numbers of migrants coming in inflatable boats. this is a country bell roost, which is in the middle of europe. that in order to get to barrows, you likely have to pass through most of russia. so this is from start to finish. the claim of an emergency is rubbish. finely sir, a relic at life on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker. the ship is called 50 years victory and is one of the largest of his type. and usually his main job is to guide tank is 3 rushes frozen northern seas. but in the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world. roving reporter bought a ticket. were on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north pole. as
1:23 pm
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 a year because of its 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 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. i live, 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,
1:24 pm
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 the 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 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 lot 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
1:25 pm
basically like a rebuilding apartment complex to place 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 a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. deaf and dark habit. nothing fancy. why it has everything we need.
1:26 pm
we found a couple of big bags, and one of the doors were minor, of how rocket can get in the ocean. the room has what look, it even has a humidifier and it also has the tv but only 2 channels. one share with you of the root. 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, it is about all digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can always gave in the window enjoy. using our big news the ice breaker uses the energy of 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 about radiation and how to detect it. as we walk around
1:27 pm
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. official alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken up with should be told, the reactors are safe, it is more likely you'll be blown overboard by strong wind lever. there was a radiation on the ship. we had to look like some more coming up next we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. it's and we're approaching b as in the world. well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the ice,
1:28 pm
everything like that. 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 ah, meeting scenery, if not a little colder. so that's how things are looking here or not so far. tonight, we're back again at the top of the 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
1:29 pm
break truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence as exist. catrice 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 and suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of beneficial effects of these different medicines, any up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to
1:30 pm
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 the this is been by someone business or you can't afford to mess, i'm rachel, blah. bridge aboard washington coming up. the united states and allies have proven billions of dollars in for an a to afghan. it's been will take a look at how the nation's economy will be able to sustain itself. and bitcoin is less than a week away from becoming legal, tender it out, salvador for the i m f is morning to pick.
