what will make you feel safe for the tycer? elation community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. i the british foreign secretary quiz plan p. i v. his questionable handling the crisis in afghanistan. why he was relaxing on the beach when couple fell to the taliban. when did you already, what did you call didn't what did, what did you go? i made a proof. what date was what holiday forms i had said,

i think the own passport trans policies and ports of what the holiday booth. it has been barely a day that american troops have left and the taliban has its you control of capital airport. it is a mess. it is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport porter. this we get exclusive access to control airport. now the grip of the taliban after the us and the extraordinary success of this mission through the credible skill. helpless courage, united states military and our diplomats. president guiding defends americans hasty patrol from afghanistan and prizes the missions i standing result despite the chaos on the bloodshed scene during the final day. ah,

good evening, you're watching our team to national. she's going to 11 o'clock in the british. foreign secretary has been facing a grilling by foreign affairs committee and peas. dominic rob and other senior ministers have been getting a lot of a tell you the government's handling of the afghanistan polis, and was described by the opposition is the biggest failure of foreign policy. in the generation, it is important for us to know what you were doing and what you were doing from when did you go home with him? i'm not looking to brush over this. i just wanted to know when you went things. when did you a little bit with the facts on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on, on grunz. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop went to back. 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 to take the reading because high come us was recently and is better ranging the evacuation of german people through

tashkent. and it seems to be around the work screen effectively from germany in terms of your own leadership, in your own actions pop until this point. did you ever 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 reform 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 what 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 to under $3400.00?

they will be low, hundreds 100 sounds that it could be full 100 or it could be 10510115 . 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 created a key telephone call to the afghan foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen wrong 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 is take responsibility 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 for just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't use 3 different question. question your question from that from what i will find. but other countries 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 after 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 of your own actions. when did you for the holiday? what did you go and holiday invested in what they are? what date did you go? i made it to what date would you hold the phone and sadly, who stayed? i think the own personal transparencies important. what date and holiday made out.

there were clearly sure that the student clicked the date material times. why, why can you just on to this question? 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, a partridge that henry bolton, the former leader of you, came dependents. party says that there are still plenty of questions mister rob needs to answer. i don't believe that in the field of national security defense, foreign affairs, the should be too much transparency. it's very important, for example, in the diplomatic discussions and negotiations. so you to be very tight lips about what's actually being said and done. but, but i think in this particular case, dominant rob needs to be able to answer certain questions. and i, you know, there's a question as to when he was on leave,

it's not particularly serious question in my mind. he should have been at his desk . i don't care when he went to lee, be sure to be know that he says, and if he was on leave, he should have got straight back. robin delayed his return. there's a systemic problem. deep seated systemic problem. and in all foreign ministry on a foreign office, it came up the question, when was the last time a site visit you do specs gone? well, probably never. and i know for a fact having worked across central asia for some years on a diplomatic level, on the international level. i know for a fact that the british engagement across central asia has been incredibly full. and for example, a few years ago, the ambassador to london, the republic of kirk stone, was complaining to me that any time he had something serious to discuss with corn office here in london, he was unable to speak to anybody but a junior desk officer. that is simply unacceptable. meanwhile, the hey, foreign sack trees will say flatly deny declaim in the u. s. media that britain may

have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cabal airport last thursday. the blast happened. one of its entrances where afghans were waiting in line to be processed to fly, at least 170 people were killed. appendix document though lead to the political magazine, political magazine, sorry, suggest american forces kept the airport main gate open despite knowing it was a prime target for terrorists in order to let british personnel evacuate u. k. foreign sex. he says that the allegation, though, is just not true, while another government minister as the keys the us of indulging in a blame game. there is an underlying currency blame which is unhelpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scalar, 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 the former british counter

terrorism intelligence officer charles, she bridge a bad house. 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 that you constantly shut down the operation at the time that there's a town or not. because if you do so, of course you just had an initiative to groups such as the iso, perhaps even to taliban themselves. you could simply manufacture alerts like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation to act the 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 disclose the festival, there is a source that is disclose in this conference. mation. i'm 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news,

which i'm sure he said he was colleagues, that he was nice. there was information been given that he might he or she might be on their way? well that's kind of stuck in the 2nd day if it's post u. s. reality with couple airport now devoid of western troops and under the full control of the taliban, us, almon vehicles, helicopters and ammunition can be seen abandoned that side. the terminals from couples are senior correspondent, murdered gas. do you have 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 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. will the barbed wire will 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 left behind. also the evacuation the united states have said that all the girls have been sabotaged. we can see certainly sign that the. why as for example of have been caught, there are various electric blocks that are missing and 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 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 and such as these behind us, have been sabotaged to have been destroyed. here are the, the dog crates, of course, such, such a stir online about the abandoned 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 by american troops. those that believing 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 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 go to catch the rest and put them back into military service in ironic twist u. s. military dogs now serving the taliban against the black port. and the president biden has given a growing endorsement of america's longest for 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 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 anymore after that considering especially the time and why we were there. i found to be the most disrespectful thing i've ever seen now after this so called successful operation over a 100 americans are still stranded in afghanistan. the exact number is not known apparently, and that is despite jo biden's promise that no one would be left behind. 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 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 would 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 as 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 reality is projected. i believe there should be accountability for what i, what i see is probably the biggest failure in 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 variation 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 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 any multinational 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 a situation where it looks like august is wrapping up to be the worst month yet for the biden white house. caleb mop and r t new york. now, despite his claims of success biden blamed his predecessor, donald trump for the abruptness of the us patrol. although some of the president's remarks were pretty similar to statements made by trump in the past is indeed an error for 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 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 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 morning. i'm going to stand south eastern city. of course the taliban held

a mock funeral for the ice foreign forces, striking fe coffins with us, nato, british, and also french flags. and also banners of the defeated islamic republic of afghanistan, spanish and i replaced around the country. but the white flag of the taliban islamic emerett still come this our reg limits of life and a russian nuclear icebreaker on a mission to the top of the world to join us on board for crews with a difference not to come to soft. the bright news join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . this is your media reflection of

reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation whole community. you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? what is in a world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. i the hello again. our next around,

look at life on board. are russian nuclear icebreaker ship behind the school, 50 years of victory, and is one of the largest of its kind. and usually its main job is to guide tank is 3 rushes frozen northern seas. but in the off season it does also take 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 hall. as a journalist have 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 the year because it has suitable environment and harsh climates. so like a lot, we're going all the way to the nord ah, we're departing from the mask. the whole board of worlds 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 the fears, 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 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 those are smartest kids in russia. the cream of the crop. we've the press simply tagged along. the vessel is large and heavy. it takes to tug boats to pull it out from its moorings and were sailing off into the arctic ocean. so for the next 10 days is going to be ice water, more ice,

more water and 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, but then the arctic again lot, 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 been placed on a 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 victory, both the gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar. even a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. deaf and dark habit. 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 why look, it even has a humidifier and it also has the tv 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 gave in the window enjoy using our big news.

the icebreaker uses the energy of nuclear reactors which can power a small town if need be there operate 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 wasn't, as we walk around the shift, i see radiation signs. doesn't mean it could be exposed to radiation. you know, 1st of all, you're walking by rooms which i've only limited access in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the weight. level official alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken 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 somebody coming up next. we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg and were approaching b as over the world. well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the way of doing 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, and amazing journey watching international. that's how things are looking so far. we're back again in just over 30 minutes.

oh i i i use oh, when i went to the wrong one all room. just don't the room. yes to see out. the thing become the attitude. an engagement equal betrayal.

when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground cataract 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 the long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition that 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 scare

a little girl of 24. and like, didn't have to be so complicated. ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer lation whole community you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah

the me not atlantic alliance, reconnaissance aircraft, and warships cruising close to russia's borders have become commonplace along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises. nato has also developed its offensive capability near the russian borders ah, every year a russian bank resolution is submitted to the un against the glorification of not to them i, the outcome is always the same. the us most again.
