back on september the 8th for brand new seasons, still uncovering the stories buried by the so called mainstream media until then keep in touch with us for social media and let us know who you'd like to see on the next season of going undergrad. ah ah ah ah, british foreign secretary in queensland these were the questionable leg of the crisis and i've got it done while he was, we're actually going to the beach while campbell. it's all about. when did you hold the deep? did you know they did say what the future i made? what date would you say? i think the own personal policy supports would be whole. it it
10:01 pm
has been failure date, but american troops left and the taliban had this huge control of capital airport is a mess. it is all but the school including the civilian part of the airport. also we get exclusive access to a problem at all. it's now completely within the group of a ton of that, following the abrupt un enrolled extraordinary success of this mission. critical skill, gravely sculpus courage and united states military and our diplomats. and why don't we defend america? hasty put out from kenneth, goes as far as to say, the mission was a real success for the chaos and bloodshed of the day. i
10:02 pm
thanks for joining us tonight and our team of daniel hawkins with util. sunrise. welcome to the program. the british foreign secretary has been facing a grilling bye and peas in parliament, dominic rob another. see the ministers have been getting a lot of heat over the government's handling of the going to on polo scribe. the opposition is the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation. it is important for us to know what you were doing and what you were doing from when did people were holding me through. i'm not looking to brush over this. i just want to know when you wet things, when did you, when? in fact, on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on, on grunge scale. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? went back and yeah, i'm not sure how to check if you would like to know the busiest, very have to come back to 3rd grade but seems particularly ready because high come us with reason is better start arranging the evacuation of young people through
10:03 pm
tashkent and it seems to be a route the work screen, the effectually, from germany, in terms of your own leadership, in your own actions. up until this point, did you ever, at any point consider offer to reside? now i consider getting home with the job. it comes a day after a tv interview where he indicated that military intelligence failures 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. and concent numbers remain, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why? 100, you mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean under $3400.00?
10:04 pm
they will be low. hundreds, 900 sounds that it could be 400 or it could be 10510115. i'm, if i could give you any 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 were also questions about rob's role in the evacuation. he gated a key telephone call to the afghan 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 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 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 explain the situation for you for the, you know,
10:05 pm
just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting and wanting to get, frankly, and coaches that didn't you 3 question question. you're going back to the question from, from and i'm really been fine. but i'll continue to use one process. how career problems are 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 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 go to holiday? what big did you go and holidays interested in what they are? what they did you go? i made what date, holiday foreign secretary of state. i think your own personal transparencies important. what date and holiday made, how clear i should have the statement. i put the date, the material times. why,
10:06 pm
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 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, henry bolton, former leader of the u. k. independence party says that while questions are being directed, it was the rob did question the to be asked 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 answer certain questions. and i, you know, the question is when he was on leave, it's not particularly serious question in my mind. be sure to be in it. is that got
10:07 pm
to tell when he went on the be sure to be know that he's test 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 in the foreign ministry on a foreign office. it came up the question, when was the last time a sex race 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 pull. and for example, a few years ago, the ambassador to london, the republic of curtis dawn, was complaining to me that anytime he had something serious to discuss with a foreign office here in london, he was unable to speak to anybody but a junior desk officer. that is simply unacceptable. meanwhile, the u. k. foreign secretary has denied a claim in the us media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for getting
10:08 pm
a suicide bomber into common port last thursday. last happened at one of the airports entrances. when afghans waiting in line to be brought to be processed to fly out, at least 170 people killed. a pentagon document leak 2 political magazines suggest american ford, who's kept the apple. it's main gate, open the spot, knowing it was a prime target for terrorists. in order to let british personnel evacuate or u. k. foreign secretary says that allegation is just not true. while another government minister has accused 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 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, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. that was for the former british counter terrorism intelligence office of charles schubert about how such an operation should be carried out. given the high risks invoke the end of the day. if
10:09 pm
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 there's a town. that's because if you do so of course you just had an initiative to groups such as i say, so perhaps even the taliban themselves, you could simply manufacture bomb alerts like that and therefore thereby disrupt the operation to act with 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 disclosing this kind of information. and secondly, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he said he was colleagues, that he was the there was information given that he might,
10:10 pm
he or she might be on their way of going to san is in the david supposed us reality with cobbled for now devoid of western troops and under the full control of a ton of on us, some vehicles helicopters that mission can not be seen abandoned outside the terminals from cobble, or senior correspondent world garcia, sent this exclusive reform. it has been barely a day that american troops of have left and the taliban has assumed control of capital airport. we have been able to walk around the various hangers, the various sections of the airport and it is a mess. it is a method is all but destroyed, including the civilian part of the airport, the pallet button and the authorities are now clearing away all the above. while 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, that gets left behind by the united states. what the black hawk helicopter were
10:11 pm
left behind as the evacuation the united states have said that one of the girls have been sabotaged. they can see certainly 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 sledge hammer or 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, is non functions would be impossible to get it functional for civilian floods in
10:12 pm
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 that just online about the abandon 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 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 being described in
10:13 pm
british, british press and specific that the taliban had said that these dogs to death. no, they tell us they're, they've caught some of them. they're going to catch the rest and put them back into military service it and i run a twist. u. s. military dogs. now serving the taliban. i mean one and i'm going to start south eastern city of costs. the taliban held a mock funeral for the al serra foreign forces, driving flight coffins with the us later british and french flags are also the track of the defeated islamic republic. of i've got some that's not replaced with the white flag of the taliban islamic emerald lolia president bought and gave a gloving endorsement of america's longest war. and even said the african mission was an extraordinary success. that despite the chaos and bloodshed of recent days, may find some of the images in our next reports distressing. extraordinary success . and this mission was due to the incredible skill,
10:14 pm
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 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,
10:15 pm
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 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 gaston 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
10:16 pm
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 evaluation 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 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
10:17 pm
partner in any multinational agreement or operation. trust in the united states is irreparably damaged. now, after 20 years, the war in afghanistan seems to 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 whitehouse. caleb martin r t new york. now despite his claims of success, pardon blamed his previous s a donald trump for the abruptness of the us draw though some of the president's remarks were pretty similar to statements from pass made in the past. is found indeed an era of major military operations to re make other countries. i think the era nation bill will be brought to a very when i yeah. why was not found by
10:18 pm
anything from did and the evidence, the bad as all the other things trump has done that biden has undone as quickly as possible. it's a whiten, 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, the only choice he has right now is to play me 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,
10:19 pm
and i don't see him saving i get another e border crisis shows a little sign of a biting in august. i'm an assertive margaret crossings. pony president was asked to declare a state of emergency in 2 regions bordering but a route on the better russian president was blamed for the problem. we have to stop these aggressive hybrid actions which carried out according to the script written in minsk and by mister lucas. and because patterns, that is why we decided to propose such a solution. to mister president analysts increased the security of our eastern border even more and prove it will be the 1st time such a state has existed in the area since the cold war. it will last almost a month and restrict movements in 2 provinces. last month, poland registered thousands of attempts to illegally cross his borders from better warsaw on with some other u powers. believe the crossings are being encouraged by but russian president look a shank investigation. again. sanctions from loc, opponents planning to build
10:20 pm
a fence along the border to keep out illegal, migrants, many of whom are from the middle east. now also has been drawing criticism for fees and that as a group of afghans trying to between poland and batteries for 3 weeks political unless to kill but dr. osha and his 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. the delivery is 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 definitely. this is not
10:21 pm
a country that has an island just a few dozen kilometers from the libyan coast. this is a country bell roost, which is in the middle of europe. 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. finally this our a rare look at life on was russian nuclear icebreaker. the she was school 50 years . victorian is one of the largest of its type. usually its main job was to go tankers through rushes, frozen northern seas. but in the off season, it also takes people on the benches of the wild rhythm reporter for the 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 to visit police explored an accessible part of our planet and get only a 1000
10:22 pm
a visitor year because of its in his suitable environment. the harsh climates, so like a lot, we're going all the way to the nord ah, we're departing from the mascot. the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breakers 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 fear, the 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 its downtime the ship carries tours to the north pole, normally trip like this would cost up to $50000.00. but this time the ice breakers
10:23 pm
booked for russian a grade. students have got tickets as a reward for their studies. and also, i guess you could say that our 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 both 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 with them the arctic again line which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries 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 placed on
10:24 pm
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. i use the 50 years of victory, both the gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar. given a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. the left 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. there were minor of how rocket and get in the ocean. the room has what look, it even has
10:25 pm
a humidifier and it also has its he 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 there operated from a control center that is vital to maintain the ship's 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 it could be exposed to radiation. you know,
10:26 pm
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 sleep level. a special alarm goes off, which notifies everyone then certain measures are taken up, should be told the reactors are say, it is more likely you will be blown overboard by strong wind legal. there was a radiation on the ship rapidly 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 ice. everything i'm doing it's
10:27 pm
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 oh, we got set with more close and seems global arctic travels in the next few days here and all the international. i'm next, the article commentary explores the dark audiology of fascism, past and present. and we're back in half an hour the latest do join us again that ah, i the who's
10:29 pm
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 tax executives is as plain as the nose on your face. and you can see it in the numbers the me, north 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.
10:30 pm
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 view as most against it. and in recent years with ukrainian banking was typically the you of stains. but with most countries voting in favor, the document is accepted, but it's only advisory me, a writer in history professor at the american university of washington summarizes the usa official position in the united states says that we're not going to prevent freedom of speech. the united states does that even the nazis have the right to.
