not just north dakota and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was a competent, short form and this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening with the headline decide the british foreign sex res queensland page over his questionable handling of the christ. it's enough got to stand why he was relaxing on the beach when people fell to the taliban. when did you board the didn't. what did, what did i made? what date would you hold on separately?
5:01 pm
i think your personal transparencies important would be hold the date that the american troops have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital. airport is a mess. it is all but destroyed in the civilian parts of the airport. also that we get exclusive access to control airport and complete within the grip to taliban following the abrupt us the role. extraordinary success and this mission critical skill. reg: sculpus, courage, united states military and our diplomats. divide in storage, the defense americas haste pull out from afghan. stan and even go goes as far as to say, the mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and the bloodshed witness in the final deck. ah,
5:02 pm
i just go midnight here. most go. you're watching international. the british 43 has been facing a grilling by m pays in parliament. dominic rob and other senior ministers have been guessing a lot of heat with the government's handling of the afghanistan, polite described by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation. it is important for us to know what we're doing and what are you doing from when did you book hold on. i mean, i'm not looking to brush over this. i just want 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 go. 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
5:03 pm
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 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 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. 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?
5:04 pm
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 meet 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 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 withdrawal process. but the foreign secretary believe the efforts in the u. k. much those on the ground who is 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 emails including late emails and requests like that. but let me just
5:05 pm
explain the situation for you. just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't use 3 question question your question from that from when i was really been fine, but other countries didn't use one process. how career problems other examples they 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. 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 actions. when did you for the holiday will be did you go and holiday invested in what they are? what they did you go? i made. what date would you go? holiday for me? sadly. who stayed? i think your own personal transparencies important. what date and holiday?
5:06 pm
how clear i should have the student clicked the date that material times. why, why can you just on to 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 all. it's 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 and revolt. and the former leader of the cane dependence party says that while questions though are being directed. mister rob, good questions need to be asked of the british foreign office. 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 offer certain questions. and i, you know, there's
5:07 pm
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 me, be sure to be know that he says, and if he was on leave, he should have got straight back from the lady's 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 sex race site visit? you do specs on? 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 anytime 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 foreign secretary has flatly denied
5:08 pm
a claim in the u. s. media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into couple lat pole last thursday. the blast happened at one of the airports entrances, where afghans were waiting in line to be processed. the flags, at least a 170 people were killed. appends again document lead to political magazine to suggest that 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 secretary values says that that allegation is just not true. while another governor minister has a key to us of indulging in the plain gay there is an underlying current of blame which is unhelpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scale of this attack was known beforehand, old gate should have been closed as a matter of protocol. and they went, which suggest saw it, detailed intelligence was missing,
5:09 pm
or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. or we asked for british counter terrorism intelligence officer charles, she 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 that you constantly shut down the operation every time that as a time. because if you do so, of course you should have an initiative to group such as i say. so perhaps even the taliban themselves, you could since he manufacture bomb alerts like that and therefore thereby disrupt the operation. i thought at the time, even before the chapter 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 got disclosures at festival, there is a source that is disclosed misconduct information. i'm 2nd,
5:10 pm
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 you've been given that he might, he or she might be on their way. i've kind of son is in the 2nd david post us reality with cabal airport, to void western troops and under the full control of the taliban. u. s. arm and vehicles, helicopters and munition cannot be seen abandoned side to terminals from comple, our senior correspondent, motor gas to you have sent this exclusive report. it has been barely a day that the american troops 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 over?
5:11 pm
well, the trash will be exploded munitions, which we saw plenty of mortar rounds grenades, munitions. aside from that, we also saw the military vehicles, the helicopters, the jets left behind by the united states. one of the black hawk helicopter were left behind the house with the evacuation. the united states have said that all the girls have been sabotaged. we 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,
5:12 pm
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, 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, dogs were left behind. they weren't all evacuated, but they weren't kept. they weren't in the crates when the time about arrived. they will let go by american troops. those that believe in last,
5:13 pm
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 and i run a twist. u. s. military dogs now serving the taliban. murat, gas. the of that will be mon, in africa understand science, eastern city, of course to the taliban held a mock funeral for the irish did foreign forces striking fate coffins with the us, nato, british, and also french flags. russo beach, for killer banners of the defeated islamic republic. a republic of af ganesh, than those flags that have not been paced across the country with the white flag of the taliban islamic emerett. earlier, president biden gave
5:14 pm
a glowing endorsement of america's longest for and even said that the afghan mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and the bloodshed of the last few 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 diplomats 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
5:15 pm
a 100 americans are still stranded in afghanistan. the exact number is not known apparently, and that is despite joe 102200 americans remain. that can stand with some intention to leave and for those remaining americans, there is no deadline. now, while the u. s. public overwhelmingly favors withdrawal from afghanistan. poles also show that the public is unhappy with how it was done. over 80 percent of the public says that they wanted the military to stay in and make sure that americans should get out safely. now, republicans are stepping up and calling for joe biden to step down. we call upon most somberly the resignation of this president joe biden. and his, 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 dentist and have been such
5:16 pm
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 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 evacuation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled. in order to move forward, we need answers and accountability regarding the cascade and sailors 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 billings of dollars in our advanced military equipment and supplies
5:17 pm
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 dana dan 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 mob been r t new york not despite his claims of success, spied and did blame his predecessor, donald trump, for the abruptness of the u. s. patrol though some of the current president's remarks were remarkably similar to the statements trump has made in the past. is about ending an era of major military operations to re make other
5:18 pm
countries the ear of nation building will be brought to a very yeah, placement was not found by anything from did. and the evidence of that is all the other things trump has done that biden has undone as quickly as possible. so biting doesn't care about anything. the trump did that, that he feels held to be, wasn't held to that fight and started backwards by removing our position of strength, 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 hand,
5:19 pm
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 another news yet. another e border crisis shows a little sign of a bating in august the middle serge of migrant crossings, poland president was asked to declare a state of emergency in 2 regions bordering better. ruth, while the russian president was blamed for the problem, we have to stop these aggressive hybrid actions which are 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 analyst increase the security of our eastern border even more. well, if approved, it will be the 1st time such a status existed in the area since the cold war. it will last almost a month and restrict movements in 2 provinces. last month poem registered thousands
5:20 pm
of attempts to legally cross its board is from better use. also, along with some other powers, believe that the crossings are being encouraged by better russian president lucas, shank, and retaliation. again, sanctions from the blog i. poland does plan to build a fence along the border to keep out illegal, migrants, many of whom are from the middle east. more so it's been drawing criticism for refusing to let in a group of afghans. meanwhile, stranded between poland batteries for 3 weeks. political and miss gilbert. dr. i shed his perspective on the situation. i think that this statement about a 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
5:21 pm
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 belarus which is in the middle of europe. then in order to get to bella luce, you likely have to pass through most of russia. so this is from start to finish. the claim of an emergency is rubbish. next array, look at life on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker. the ship behind me is called 50 years a victory and is one of the largest of his type. unusually, its main job is to guide tank is 3 rushes froze northern seas. but in the off
5:22 pm
season, it also takes paper on adventures to the top of the world. i'll roving reporter find out more, 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 in hospital environment and harsh climate. so like a lot, we're going all the way to the north the word morning rhonda murmansk. the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker played a lot of stuff around 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
5:23 pm
icebreaker called years a victory. that is going to take us to the north pole. the ice breakers mean job is to guide tankers through russia is frozen northern seas. but in the summer, when it's downtime the ship carries the tories to the north pole, normally, trip like this would cost up to $50000.00. but this time the ice breaker is booked for russian. a grade students have got 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 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
5:24 pm
used to be number one until recently, but then the arctic aim line, which is even bigger and more powerful, other countries have icebreaker is, 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, 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,
5:25 pm
sea 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 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 shows you the route and other one gives you the view from the 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
5:26 pm
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 the shift, i see radiation signs. doesn't mean that could be exposed to radiation. you know, 1st of all, you're walking by rooms which have only limited access in case there is an area where the radiation exceeds the level of special alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measure taken up should be told, the reactors are safe, it is more likely you will be blown overboard by strong wind lever. there was a radiation on the ship. we had to look like somebody coming up next. we
5:27 pm
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 way of doing it. it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the i don't know . let me say it again. we are on top of the night before we go or not this, i just want to give you an update and a developing story about a school shooting in the u. s. state of north carolina. one student has reportedly died in hospital from a gunshot wound, police still searching for a suspect. the school has been placed on lockdown, and police have secured that building. that's what we know so far. of course we'll
5:28 pm
bring you more as we get it. we haven't used this looking so far tonight, and we'll have more stories for you in about half an hour. the look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence we'll summoning the demon a robot must protect its own existence with
5:29 pm
the media, a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe relation or community ah, you're going the right way. where are you being somewhere? which direction? what is truth? watches in the world corrupted. you need to defend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah
5:30 pm
i can yeah. trick 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 isn't a 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 pills. so of all ills, or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like i was just scared, scared a little girl, the 24 and like, didn't have to be so complicated the .
