because a north carolina school is in lockdown as a result of a shooting. one student is understood to have been injured and police are searching for the suspect. so many schools in the area are also under locked and see that's what we know for the moment. no, of course we're bringing more details as we get the now another news today, the british foreign secretary has been facing a grilling by foreign affairs committee. paints this wednesday, dominic rob and other senior ministers have been guessing a lot of he's over the government handling of the afghanistan, polite miss described by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation. it is important for us to move what we were doing and where you were doing it from. when did you go and holding with you? i'm not looking to brush over this. i just wanted to know when you went when did you live with the facts on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on
2:03 pm
a 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 very great what seems particularly random because high come us was recently started arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be around the work screen 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. it comes a day after a tv interview where he indicated that military intelligence failures lead to the rapid fall of the country to the taliban. in effect, blaming the ministry of defense. perform 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. numbers were a key question for the can we see?
2:04 pm
did the foreign secretary know how many u. k and foreign 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 in the 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 work 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 delegated a key telephone call to the afghan foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen. wrong result. 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 is
2:05 pm
take response with the 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 email, completing late emails and requests like that. but let me just explain the situation for you. just purely transparency. we got the 3 types of cases. 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 really been fine. but other countries use one process, how career problems other conflicts that don't people. 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. rog 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 transparency of your own actions. when did you go
2:06 pm
holiday? what beeps did you go on holiday? and what did they are? what date 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 dates you and holiday made . also clear why should the statement put the date that material times. why, why can't you just answer this question. so 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 partridge report, and when the mall, the foreign secretary is flatly denied a claim in the u. s. media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cabala poor. last thursday, the blast happened. one of his entrances where afghans were waiting in line to be processed flanked at least a 170 people were killed. append to can document lead to political magazine. just
2:07 pm
suggested american forces kept the airports main gate open despite knowing it was a prime target for terrorists in order to let british personnel evacuate u k. for a 2nd. he says that that allegation is just not true. while another government minister has the keys, the us of indulging in the brain get there is an underlying current of blame, which is on helpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scale of this attack was known beforehand, all gate should have been closed as a matter of protocol. and they went, we suggest, saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. where we are, the former british counter terrorism, intelligence of the child should bridge about how such an operation should be carried out. given the high risks involved 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 dot,
2:08 pm
you constantly shut down the operation every time that there's a time. because if you do so, of course you just had an initiative to group such as i say, so perhaps even the taliban themselves, you could simply manufacture like that. and therefore, by detroit, the operation i saw after time, even before the capture plays, to a 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 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 colleagues or that he was nice, there was information you've been given that e mart your he or she might be on their way. what kinda stand is in the 2nd, dave? it's post us reality with comple airport,
2:09 pm
9 to void of western troops and under the full control of the taliban, u. s. arm and vehicles helicopters nomination can be seen abandoned and signed the terminals. there are senior correspondent, murdered gas, the visit the airport and 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 mess. it is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport. the taliban and the authorities are now clearing away. will the barbed wire over? well, 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. also the evacuation. the united states have said that all the girls
2:10 pm
have been sabotaged. they can see suddenly sign that the y, as for example, of have been caught because there are various electric blocks that are 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, well, the computers have been destroyed. the cameras knocked out the, 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,
2:11 pm
most of them, the heavy weapons of the vehicles such as such as such as these behind us have been sabotaged to have been destroyed. here are the, the dog crate. of course such, such a stuff online about the abandoned dogs left behind by the united states 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 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 britain, the british press and specific that the taliban had said that these dogs the death,
2:12 pm
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 it and i run a twist. u. s. military dogs now serving the taliban gas t at couple airport. now in the meantime, president biden has given a growing endorsement of america's longest war and even said that the afghan mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and bloodshed of recent days, you might find some of the footage in our next report upsetting the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomat and intelligence professionals. it was designed to save american lives, the family of the 13 american soldiers who died and a terrorist attack and cobble a few days ago would definitely argue with that biden's appearance at the dignified
2:13 pm
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, 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
2:14 pm
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 it's the right thing to do to preserve some modicum of honor. and to step down, i think one of the reasons why the past couple of weeks of, of gas that have been such a shock to song and such a disappointing confirmation to others is because of that disconnect between reality and how that realities project. 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 answer send accountability regarding the cascading failures that lead us
2:15 pm
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 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 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
2:16 pm
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. while despite his claims of success, biden did blame his pre december, donald trump, the abruptness of the us withdrew. though some of the president's remarks were pretty similar to statements made by trump in the past 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. it might and doesn't care about anything that trump did that, that he feels held to be, wasn't held to that slide and started backwards by removing our position of
2:17 pm
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 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 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 me more than enough kind of stand southeast and city. of course, the taliban held a mock funeral for the ice. did foreign forces draping face coffins with the u. s. nato. british and also french flags. there are also banners, if the defeated islamic republic of a scanner stand, spanish not being replaced with the white flag of the taliban,
2:18 pm
islamic emerett. you still come see this i read glimpse of life on a russian nuclear icebreaker on a mission to the top of the world. a join us on board for crews with a different yourself. ah me i ah, to be with me ah ah,
2:19 pm
i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for an taishan, 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 the welcome back with us now. yet another e border crisis shows little sign of a thing. in august the mid a surgeon migrant crossings, poland president, was asked declare a state of emergency in 2 regions. the board is better. ruth,
2:20 pm
by the russian president, was blamed 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, that is why we decided to propose such a solution. to mister president analysts increased the security of our eastern border even more will if approved, it will be the 1st time such a state has existed in the area since the cold war. it will last almost a month and restrict movements in 2 provinces. last month. poland registered thousands of attempts to legally cross its board is from batteries also along with some if i some other countries do believe to the crossings are being encouraged. bry presently shanker, in retaliation to the blocks sanctions. poland does plan to build a fence along the board to keep the league of migrants, many of whom from the middle east. meantime, it has been drawing criticism for refusing to let in a group of african stranded between the 2 countries for 3 weeks. political analysts,
2:21 pm
gilbert. dr. i've shared his perspective on the situation. i think that this statement about possible state of emergency is simply political posturing by the polish government. they will set up a, a barbed wire fence delivery border. but it's not because they face a security risk, it's only so they can get the television cameras there and to show west europeans show brussels how keen they are to protect europe, ian values from the dictator in charge in minsk. this is a political statement. it is not a security statement, so they don't like to look at the map. but if you look at the map, you see this is not a definitely. this is not a country that has an island just a few dozen kilometers from the libyan coast. this is a country bell roost, which is in the middle of europe, that in order to get to bell roost,
2:22 pm
you likely have to pass through most of russia. so this is from start to finish. the claim of an emergency is rubbish. finally, this is our a rare look at life on board. a russian nuclear ice break ship behind me called 50 years victory and is one of the largest of its type. and 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. all roving reporter bought a ticket. were on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north hall. 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's, it has that ability vironment and harsh climate. so like a lot, we're going all the way to the north.
2:23 pm
the word morning from the 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 the fears of 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 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 those are smartest kids in russia. the cream of the crop week,
2:24 pm
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 is the world's 2nd largest nuclear icebreaker. it used to be number one until recently, but then the article came along which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries have icebreakers, but only russia has empowered 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, i'm trying to find my cabin,
2:25 pm
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. even a swimming pool filled with salty water. you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. deaf and 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 myra rocket and 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 shows you the
2:26 pm
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 as 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 doubting 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 axis in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the level of special alarm goes off,
2:27 pm
which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken from putting them up for me to 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 had to look like some more coming up next we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. and we're approaching b as over the world. well, this is what it feels like. the ice breaker allowing for the life of 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,
2:28 pm
well i know before we go, well let's just give you an update on that school shooting in the american state of north carolina because police are continuing to search for suspect after student was shot at a high school. the school and others were briefly placed in lockdown, but students were reunited with their parents after police had secured the buildings. one student was injured in the shooting. we're bringing more updates as we get the just coming up to half past 9 in the evening. here. moscow good to have you company, we're back again in about 30 minutes. ah ah ah
2:29 pm
ah ah ah ah ah the news i'm action or to 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 on this,
