andrew was a competent short form. 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 i don't know to the british foreign secretary quiz why and paid his questionable handling of the crisis enough gun to stand. why he was relaxing on the beach when bull fell to the taliban. when did you board holiday? what deep speaking was listed in what you did, what i made, what date would you hold for a 2nd, please? i think your personal transparency is important to hold and

it has been barely a day that american troops have left at the time, but has assumed control of capital. airport is a mess. it is all but destroyed cute in the civilian part of the airport to come we get exclusive access to comple airport and i completed within the grid of the taliban following the abrupt us through an extraordinary success of this mission, critical skill. gravely helpless courage, united states military and our diplomat. joe biden, stanley defend americas hasty pull out from us ghana, stan, he goes as far as to say that the mission was a real success, despite the chaos and the bloodshed over the final day. ah . oh,

good evening. watching archie international. now the british foreign secretary has been facing a grilling by and pays in parliament. dominic rob and other senior ministers have been getting a lot of hate with the government's handling of the afghanistan, polite described by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy in the generation. it is important for us to move what we were doing and where you were doing it from. when did people were holding me through? i'm not looking to brush over this. i just want to know when you went things. when did you know when 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 becky. i'm not sure i have to check if you would like to know the busiest, very have to come back to 3rd grade what seems particularly reading because high come us was recently and is based on ranging evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be around the work streaming effectively from germany and

terms of your own leadership in your own actions. up until this point, did you ever, at any point consider offer to reside? no, 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, blaming the ministry of defense, but a form ahead of the army. hit back at rob over suggestions that thousands of afghans eligible to come to the u. k were left behind and said the government had been forewarned about the situation. and numbers were a key question for the 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 remaining, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why? 100, you mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean under $3400.00? they will be in the low 100 the sounds that it could be $400.00 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 delegated a key telephone call to the gun foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen. rob is off how often he telephoned ministers in other countries to help us as what was needed during the withdraw process. but the foreign secretary believe the efforts in the u. k. much those on the ground who is take response, 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 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. if not a question i got your question, your question from from that i'm really fine, but i would continue to use one process, how career 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. rog 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 conspiring to your phone actions. when did you for the holiday? what beeps did you go and holiday? didn't. what did they or what date did you go? i made. what date would you go? holiday for? i'm saturdays. who stayed? i think the own personal transparencies important. what date and holiday made? how clear i should do that, the student put the date that material. why,

why don't you just on this question, i asked the big questions when asked dominate. rob didn't believe that he should resign or has anything to apologize for though almost almost after almost 2 hours of questions, it remains a case of wait and see to discover if there will be any consequences for the current foreign secretary bolton, former leader of the new k independence party says that while questions are being directed at mr. rob bigger questions need to be asked if 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 knit about what's actually being said and done. but. but i think in this particular case, dominant rob needs to be able to all to certain questions. and i, you know, the question is can, 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 spec stone? 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. while the u. k. foreign secretary has flatly denied a claim in us media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into cooper pause last thursday. the last happened at one of the

airports entrances, whereas the guns were waiting in line to be processed to fly anchor. at least 170 people were killed. appends can document lead to political magazine suggests that american forces kept the airport main gate open despite knowing was a prime target for terrorists in order to let british personnel evacuate u. k foreign section that says that that allegation is just not true. while another government minister to keep the us of indulging in a 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 scalar, this attack was known beforehand, all 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. well, we asked former british counter terrorism intelligence of the charles she bridge about high 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 got, you constantly shut down the operation every time that as a tower. 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 manufacture bomb alerts like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation. i thought after time, even before the chap to place the british appear to be the people who actually went public with this, which in a way could undermine any attempts to capture or kill the attacker before he got to the airport. because of course got disclose the festival, there is a source that is disclosed and it's kind of information. and 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he said 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. while high afghan, his son is in the 3rd, david's post us reality with cabala port now devoid of western troops, and under the full control of the taliban, u. s. arm and vehicles. helicopters and munitions can now be seen abandoned to either side. the terminals from couple her senior correspondent cast. 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 over? well, the trash will be exploded munitions, which we saw plenty of mortar rounds grenades, ammunition. 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 have been sabotaged. we can see suddenly sign that the y, 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 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 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 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 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 mod enough kind of stand south east and city. of course the taliban held a mock funeral for the ice. did foreign forces draping, fake coffins with us nato, british, and also french flags. there were also the trickle banners of the defeated islamic from public of afghanistan. those flags has not been replaced across the country with the white flag of the taliban. islamic emerett. earlier president biden gave a gloving endorsement of america's longest for and even said that the african mission was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and bloodshed seen over recent days, he may 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 102200 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 make sure that americans should get out safely. now, republicans are stepping up and calling for joe biden to step down. we call upon most somberly the resignation of this president joe biden, and is the right thing to do, to preserve some modicum of honor. and to step down, i think one of the reasons why the past couple of weeks of, of gas that 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 creation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled. in order to move forward, we need to answers and accountability regarding the cascading failures that lead us to this moment. our troops deserve nothing less than a complete and unvarnished truth. i think that timeline is less than what we have to do to get the us citizen and others out of the country. and within the military, there is discontent as well. over 90 retired generals and admirals called for the highest ranking us general. and for the us secretary of defense to step down the loss of billions of dollars in our advanced military equipment and supplies fall

into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. the damage to the reputation of the united states is indescribable. we will be seen for many years as an unreliable partner in 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 martin, r t new york. okay, well let's talk more about this now with derek gibson, he's a republican candidate for new york state governor. and you very welcome. thanks for your time tonight. derek gum. how politically speaking? how damaging g think the afghan crisis will be for joe biden? not only is damned into jo bye and with damage damage through our reputation as of

america, as strong as nation on or it, it will. it will be very damaged to him also. and in general, that make this decision to withdraw to that before taking care of our business 1st . and i did notice the only 20 percent of people in america. do you feel that joe biden deserves the full blame? i mean, is there a sense that okay, america didn't handle it very well, but you can't put the entire blame on joe biden. where's the news? me that pushing that narrative out about 20 percent. absolutely want to go by no response, but he's commanding chief. he's making the federal program, trump laid out a plan to a stroke the correct way, like we always do when we leave a country and he refused to take those plans up and drop them up to 100 percent on your job by him. so, and he need to be held accountable for, i'm concerned, it is true. listen to his speech the other night. i mean, he was desperately trying to draw

a line was in the under the african crisis and move on insights and end of an area for america. she think the american people will think like this now divide their attention towards domestic issues, or are they going to be ramifications here for joe biden in the polls? it's definitely going to be around vacation because i've been out of town rogue elements dot com, paul, and we have it on the app again, a span and a american citizen that we left behind. so definitely it's all joe biden, 100 percent. and america would not move on to the don't miss the issue. we have, we can do both at the same time. we will concentrate on that. and we will concentrate on the afghan debacle that was made by the current administration. i mean, just on that looking at kelvin and obviously looking at the economy again, ratings a pretty favorable for joe biden. from your perspective, you afraid that he might sort of in quite inverting comments, get away with this simply because there are bigger issues and now you say there

aren't entirely, but there are big issues that people have to concern themselves with on a daily basis. yes, we do, and you spoke of co pay them, it was worse. that is to be in the morning when we opened we won't be bringing 100000 people out again to stand with no math, no vaccination. it all, but joe biden will be held accountable and we will deal with the mess the issue. we have also at the same time. so yes, mr. buying will be held accountable. i myself and not all the leaders that i have spoken to will let this slide gotten some of always predicted apart, and could make way for kamala harris at some point in time approaching. you think? i'll make your fed up for kamala harris from day one. i think she will be in one is as president. i think that entire are there back on november the 3rd. what's the set up and there was well aware that joe biden was not going to today. something happened. yeah, carry on very,

we can still hear you. what use me you're saying we well aware that you're buying most of his time would be short. worldly. we've been speaking on the issue about camera harris become in our president of day one because by new suffering from dementia. and they're going to use the 20th of amendment to remove this guy one way or the album alphabet into boxes. but i've known kate and just finally as a republican expecting to make big games in a upcoming elections. right. expecting to make bit huge gains because the people how seen, how the current administration, how was to them. and they took office n d everything. but what they say it is going to do for the american people, jo by news on a globular agenda days where he at the so called great refit and supposed himself, and now he will pay deer. and i think republican would take back over the house and the president in 2024. okay. we'll leave it there. i appreciate your time tonight.

that was derek gibson, republican candidate for new york state, governor i. lastly, this year we have a, a rare look at life on board a russian nuclear icebreaker. the ship is called 50 years victory and is one of the largest of its type. and usually its main job is to guide tank is through rushes, froze northern seas. but in the off season, it also takes people on adventures to the top of the world. roving reporter, as more, were on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north pole. as a journalist, i've been to many dangerous places all around the world, but this trip definitely stands out. we're about to visit police explored and accessible part of our planet that gets only a 1000 visitors the year because of it's in his suitable environment. the harsh climate, so like a lot, we're going all the way to the nord ah,

the word morning from the more mask the whole board of worlds only nuclear eyes breaker played a lot of stuff round as it's considered. technically, i'm not even allowed to film here. my throw caution to the wind and check out why the giant behind me is an icebreaker called 50 years, a victory. that is go to take it to the north pole. the ice breakers main job is to guide tankers through russia's frozen northern seas, but in the summer, when its downtime the ship carries tories to the north pole, normally tripped like this would cost up to 50000 dollars. 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 can say that things are smartest kids in russia. 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 used to be number one until recently with them the arctic again line, which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries also have icebreaker, but only russia hasn't powered by atomic energy. this is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding apartment complex but place platform because of its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now, 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, given a swimming pool filled with salty water. you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker was deaf and dark habit. though nothing fancy, it has everything we need. we've found a couple of big bags, and one of the doors reminder of how rocket can get in the ocean. the room has what look, it even has a humidifier and it also has a 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 gauge in the window enjoy using our big news. the icebreaker uses the energy to nuclear reactors which can power small town if need be their operating from a control center that is vital to maintain the ship safety. it's telling that the only books to keep on a shelf in the room are about radiation and how to detect it wasn't, as we walk around the ship, 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 state level. a 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 legal. there was a radiation on the ship rapidly and 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 we as over the world. well, this is what it feels like. the great, 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

an amazing journey watching auntie internation will offer more stories in the headlines at the top of the oh, i use ah

ah, me. the november the $945.00 just a month after the war ended. ah, the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9 me select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s, i was devastated by war. united states last about $400000.00 people at the brits last less than the americans. and the soviet suffered 27000000,

dest me, 27000000. there's an incredible number i john kennedy has american university commencement address, and 963. he said that was the soviet suffered of world war 2. was the equivalent of the entire united states, eastern chicago having been destroyed, ah, initially the plan to attack the u. s. s. was code named trojan. over time it devolved into pincher bush lanka, crankshaft half moon cog, we'll off tackle and sherry here. the december 19th, $949.00, saw the adoption of the best known plan to wipe out the soviet.
