7:00 pm
life itself, i just think i was and i was just scared, scared a little girl, the 24. and like i didn't have to be so complicated the the the, the ah, the british foreign secretary quiz via m p. 's of his questionable handling of the crisis. and i've got to stop while he was, we're actually going to beach when cobbled. well, the thought about when did you put hold what the teacher gordon didn't get there? what the people i made, what date would you call it before? and secondly,
7:01 pm
i think your own personal trans policies reports and what the actual holiday when it is being barely a day that american troops of left of the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. this method is will be destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport and also the sal we get inclusive access to cobble that poured out completely within the grip or the taliban following that and brought us withdrawal. extraordinary success. and this mission critical skill break. sculpus courage is united states military and our diplomats and the joke wide and thoughtfully defends america. i put off from i'm going to stop even go to scholar, to say the mission was a real success, despite the chaos and bloodshed of the final day. ah,
7:02 pm
the law for moscow, thanks for joining us tonight. when i say that i shall, i'm daniel wilkins. will be util. sunrise. welcome to the program. and the british . foreign secretary has been facing a grilling bland piece in parliament. so when rob, when other senior ministers have been getting a lot of heat over the government handling of the afghanistan, pull out the straw by the opposition as the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation, it is important for us to move what we were doing when you were doing it from, when did people were holding me through? i'm not looking to brush over this. i just wanted 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 grunt scale. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? went through 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 ready because high come
7:03 pm
us with recent is better start arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a route that works really 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? 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 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 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. conference numbers remain, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why below hundreds,
7:04 pm
do you mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean $23400.00? they will be in the low hundreds, $900.00 sounds that it could be 400. or it could be 10510115. i'm if i could give you more precision cuz 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 ask on 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 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
7:05 pm
situation for you. just purely transparency. we got the 3 types of cases. they melting and wanting to get, frankly, and countries that didn't use 3. if not, i see question question, you're going back to the question from from an i'm really fine, but i would continue to 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 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 actions. when did you for holding? we'll be, did you go and holiday interested in? what did they, or what date did you go? i made what date, holiday foreign secretary of state. i think your own personal transparencies reports and what the actual,
7:06 pm
all of them made it also clear. i should have the statement to put the date material times. why, why can you just on this question i asked the big questions when asked dominant rob didn't believe that he should resign or has anything to apologize for though almost always 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 re bolden formerly to the independence fought. he says that while questions are being directed, mister rob, big questions need to be asked over 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 about what's actually being said and done. but, but i think in this particular case, dominate, rob needs to be able to answer certain questions. and i, you know, the question is, can, when he was on leave,
7:07 pm
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 from the lady's return. there's a systemic problem. deep seated systemic problem in the, in all foreign ministry on a foreign office. it came up the question, when was the last time a secretary of state visits specs done? 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 foreign office, foreign secretary, has slightly denied
7:08 pm
a claim in the us media. that person may have been indirectly responsible for adding a suicide bomber to call the fort last thursday. last one at one of the airports entrances were up, guns were waiting in line to be processed to fly out. at least 170 people were killed. appendix document leaked to political magazine suggests american forces kept the post main gate open the spot, knowing it was a prime target to terrorist. in order to let british personnel evacuate the u. k. foreign secretary says that allegations just not true while another government, mr. q, the u. s. have indulged 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. it's a 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. we asked for british counter
7:09 pm
terrorism intelligence officer charles schubert about how such an operation should be carried out, given the high risks involved in 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 there's a town. that's because if you do so, of course you just had an initiative to groups such as an official, perhaps even the taliban themselves. you could manufacture bomb alerts like that and therefore thereby disrupt the operation to act the time. even before the capture place, 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, it's a festival. there is a source that is disclosing this confirmation. i'm 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he said he was colleagues,
7:10 pm
that he was the information given that he might, he or she might be on their way. i'm going to san is in the 3rd day of its post us reality with couple airport now devoid of western troops and a full control with telephone us on vehicles. helicopters and ammunition can be seen by an outside the terminal from couple of senior correspondent, smart guys, they 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 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 will, the will, the trash will be exploded munitions, which we saw plenty of mortar rounds, grenay that munition. aside from that, we also saw the military vehicles,
7:11 pm
the helicopters, the jets left behind by the united states, one of the black hawk helicopters that were left behind. also the evacuation the united states have said that one of the girls have been sabotaged. we can see suddenly sign that the y, as for example of, of being 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 been 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,
7:12 pm
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. the 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 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,
7:13 pm
they were seemingly confused and different to the version that's being described in british, the british press in 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 in wall and going to san se and city. of course, the santa barbara held a mocked funeral for the house and foreign horses draping for coffins with us. nato, british and french flag also try call upon as of the defeated islamic republic of ob gyn stone has now been replaced with the white flag of a ton of lovick. last year president button gave a gloving endorsement of america's longest war and even said the machine was an extraordinary success. despite the chaos and bloodshed of recent days, you might find the sum of what is you know, next report upsetting,
7:14 pm
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 in 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 aberration 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 to 200
7:15 pm
americans remain that dance dance with some intention to leave. and for those remaining americans, there is no deadline. now while the u. s. public overwhelmingly favors withdrawal from afghanistan. poles also show that the public is unhappy with how it was done. over 80 percent of the public says that they wanted the military to stay in and make sure that americans 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 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 ghana stand have been such a shock to some and such a disappointing confirmation to others. is because of that disconnect between
7:16 pm
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 recreation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled. in order to move forward, we need answers and accountability regarding the cascading feelers 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
7:17 pm
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 dana nan 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 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. despite his claims of success, spartan blamed his previous donald trump will the abruptness of the us withdraw or some of the president's remarks are pretty similar to statements. trump has made in the past is about indeed an error of major military operations to re make other countries the ear of nation
7:18 pm
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's a bite and doesn't care about anything that 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 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,
7:19 pm
and i don't see him saving yet another easy water crisis show the sign of abating in august them and a surge of margaret crossings. pony the president was asked to declare a state of emergency in 2 regions bordering bellows. while the better russian president was blamed for the problem, we have to stop these aggressive hybrid actions which a carried out according to the script written in minsk and by mister lucas should cause patterns. that is why we decided to propose such a solution to mister president, it was increased the security of our eastern port or even more approved. it will be the 1st time such a state as existed in the area since the cold war will last almost a month and restrict movements into provinces last month and registered thousands of attempts to illegally cross his borders from. but a roof was sold along with some other powers, believe the crossings are being encouraged by a better option president. look a cinco in retaliation against sanctions from the blog opponent plans to build
7:20 pm
a fence along the border to keep out the legal law grants. many of whom are from the middle east was always been drawn criticism for if you can, so that in a group of afghans trying to between potent and batteries 3 weeks that i missed school. but dr. osha is perspective on the situation. well, 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 generally, this is not
7:21 pm
a country that has an island. just a few dozen kilometers from the libyan coast. this is a country bella roost, which is in the middle of europe. then in order to get to bell roost, 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 our rare look at life on water, russian nuclear icebreaker. the ship is called 50 years of victory and is one of the largest of the type usually is main job is to guide tankers through russia's frozen northern face. but in the off season, it also takes people as adventurers to the top of the world. reporter brought a ticket, 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
7:22 pm
a visit. police explored an accessible part of our planet that gets only a 1000 visitors year because it's in his suitable environment. the harsh climate. so like a lot, we're going all the way to the north. ah, we're departing from the media mask. the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker played a lot of stuff around us is considered. technically, i'm not even allowed to film here. i throw caution to the wind and check out why the giant behind me is an icebreaker called. yours, 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,
7:23 pm
trip like this would cost up to $50000.00. but this time, the ice breakers booked for russian. a grade students got taken as a reward for their studies. and also, i guess you could say there are smartest kids in russia. the cream of the crop. we the press simply tagged along. the vessel is large and heavy, it takes to tug boats to pull it out from its moorings and were sailing off into the arctic ocean. so for the next 10 days is going to be ice water, more ice, more water and 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 icebreakers, 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
7:24 pm
its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now try to find my cabin, but i have no idea where it is. i use the 50 years of victory bose to jim basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar, given a swimming pool filled with salty water. technically you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let step in dark habit. nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we haven't found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers. now reminder of how rocket can get in
7:25 pm
the ocean. the room has what look, it even has a humidifier. and it also has its he, me, 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 the digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can always gauge in the window and enjoy using our big news. the icebreaker uses the energy 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 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 it could be exposed to radiation. you know,
7:26 pm
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 official alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are 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 this ship. we have the correct coming up next. we were lucky enough to cite our 1st arctic iceberg. it's and we're approaching the edge of the world. well, this is what it feels like. the ice breaker allowing for the everything i'm doing
7:27 pm
it's a common misconception that the north pole is the cold spots on the. i don't know. let me say it again. we are on top of the love center for this, our boom bust chemical way, just a few moments time with the sea when i was on in 30 minutes with the latest to join us again that the sometimes a simplest answer is the correct answer and a lot of people ask, why are these tax tax so high? why is the stock market so high? and the simple answer is that it's a transfer payment. this federal government is transferring the paper money that they print into the pockets of the attack executives. it's as plain as the nose on your face and you can see in the numbers
7:28 pm
catera 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 the draw 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 and i was just scared, scared a little girl, the 24. and like, didn't have to be so complicated this
7:29 pm
is boom, but the one business show you can't afford a mit branch, a bar. and i'm rachel blevins in washington coming up. the president of ukraine is at the white house for a special meeting with president by that will take a look at why the u. s. is pledging an extra $16000000.00 and military aid and what it means for tensions in the region, plus 5 in the u. s. is done with nation building. we'll discuss whether that's really the case and how much washington is still handing out. and for an aid each year and opec plus members met wednesday to discuss the future of oil output as the delta various ways our demand will bring you up to speed on the latest developments from the car itself. got a lot to get to. let's go with
7:30 pm
the highly criticized exit from afghanistan. now, a really behind him, us president joe biden has now turned his attention to military aid for ukraine, as well as the future of the controversial large stream to pipeline. in fact, wednesday president biden unveiled a wide range of humanitarian and military aid package for ukraine during a visit by the country's president at the white house. joining us now or so, what's in store in this package? joyce is been one co host of boom bus. been always pleasure to have you all here to break these things down forth. let's start with what is inside this ukraine, ukraine humanitarian and military aid package within there. well, that's really what it is, right? it's a, it's a combination of packages on the military side. it's about $60000000.00 of newly designed military equipment which, you know, a big credit can. me says it's kind of jarring to hear even though $60000000.00 is not a whole lot of money for military equipment when you left $90000000000.00 worth of
7:31 pm
military equipment. and again, a stand the fact that you're now.
