hey, jim, it is dangerous, is the, the sovereignty of other countries, the exceptionalism that america uses. and it's international. war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions more business and businesses. good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion the was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witnessed in the background was so destructive to this day i haven't, i can't sleep in depths investigation into victims of america's brutal war on cetera, with a lying drawn by the us pull, i'd gone this was some fag form, a ton of details, shows the horrors that endured the sounds of
2:01 am
a woman in the next room that led me to believe was my wife being tortured a wave picture of my children in front of me and asked me where do you think they are now, what do you think happened in the night and took your way coming up to get access to cobble airport just days after it was abandoned by western troops. we see the terminal and equipment shattered and destroyed in the us retreat. all the helicopters and there are lots of them that were abandoned the was have been caught various various electrical blogs removed. britain, this foreign secretary is grilled by am, pays over his handling of the crisis and i've got a son why he was relaxing on the beach when kabul fell to the taliban. plus the well, this is what it feels like, by the way. well, why we, for the,
2:02 am
i have, if you don't get to see this kind of thing, very often what we're bringing to you in our tea crew continuing his journey on, but nuclear icebreaker plowing its way through frozen northern c. this time we explore more of the high tech vessel we'd meet its crew and we encountered iceberg along the way. ah, good morning to life marty's world, these ange q here moscow, this thursday, the 2nd this of ambridge, kevin, in with you for the next fall with our latest, with the us out of afghan est washington is now set to review the failings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation we hear a lot see said to review the rhythmic impact, their occupation i had on the lives of millions, in our special project called ghosts of war. i
2:03 am
53 year old was a bag lives in britain. he runs a non profit and doesn't look like someone who's lived through the experience of america's worst prison practices. but he knows about that. first had i had to stop telling myself that i am the father. that i my son, i'm a husband that i'm a human being. i started to call myself what i had been told that i was, and that was my number 558. that was my number and going to the in room in may 2000. i was interrogated by the c i and the f b i and they threatened if i did not corporate to send me either to egypt or serious to be further. tortured with us. are you with the enemy?
2:04 am
there is no in between and that doctor still stand. ah, i, i i think it's quite clear to me that united states respond to the terrible acts of 911 was vengeance. the war on terror is not a police operation. it's a military operation. why they picked on me. it wasn't just me. they picked on everyone who knows. if anybody prepared to hand you over to conflict, talk to you. you know, i live in the past that is and the bill of rights and i'm my parents and i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the americans without any legal process before i was held for a year in 2002 to 2003. and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american
2:05 am
soldiers. these terrorists play by a whole set of different rules. it's going to force us in your words to get mean 30 and nasty in order to take them. i will use all tools at our disposal to do the boys a few bad apples. isolated incident one by one, the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to me this place the pit, am i what the united states was doing in afghanistan, they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans for africa and abusing them outside of the rule of law and then allowing some of them to go
2:06 am
back home and they would go home and tell people what the americans did. by the time i got to guantanamo, i was begging to go to turn on because what i've seen and witnessed in belgrade was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. oh, i. ready several of us were sent to one tunnel including several taliban members, who now heads of various departments in the act and government were tortured. we were strict, we were beaten and was spat upon. we were humiliated photographs. this was taken during this period of time. they had a sound, a woman in the next room that led me to believe was my wife being tortured. they waved with pictures of my children in front of me and asked, where do you think they are now, what do you think happened in the night and took your way? and of course, what they wanted me to do was cosign and confession that i was a member of the title, which i was not. and this was, i'd say,
2:07 am
stand it. i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other prison. ah, i me, ah, so this is the hon made calendar that i made when i was in tunnel. i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days turn into weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realized that it was just futile. when i received such letters from my children who are very young at the time, it's actually made it worse to look at the calendar and stopped to count on the days my children growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stab in the heart. and they would come sporadically,
2:08 am
they had to be vetted and censored by the us. censorship. my daughter who was 6 at the time, wrote a poem, 12345. once i caught official life and they redacted that because they said that has numbers in a numbers could mean some sort of a code. so it was that kind of nonsensical reduction disconnecting from the idea of being a father. ironically and sadly, but also my own personal faith, my belief in god my reading, the koran and again and expectedly becoming friends with several of the american soldiers who would bring me little snippets of inclination sometime next week in a chocolate. sometime maybe we can a dvd player and show me a film deluxe of humanity that i have never forgotten to this day. and i think i left guantanamo not hating america because of those soldiers, me
2:09 am
messages directly from some american soldiers who say that this has be a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals, soldiers spoken to told me that they cannot keep at night. so i am in no doubt about the, the effects of this war, not just on the individuals, but on the nation as a whole of whom the soldiers representative me has gone to the shop and unity types were destroyed. the united states produced a senate report on torture, but not a single person was ever bought for charges for these kind. recently, i gave evidence the international criminal court for their investigations of abuses
2:10 am
by americans, enough got sent. they will investigate to be like states, the national army and the taliban. the only ones who responded by threatening the international court was the united states of america. they said that we will sanction all members of the international court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere the want to investigate us. i think the united states of america needs to step back. if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people who understand it's not in the position to negotiate those conditions. it has, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures towards russia to it's china to it's the wrong to it's pakistan with indonesia would be like states and britain in particular. i think that feeling very upset because this is a defeat that's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and imperial hubris, as it were, will not allow them to say that we need to move forward and continue within negotiations that we began in doha,
2:11 am
that they cannot be any more saber rattling. it's no good for the african people. it's no good. i've got especially with the britain or america you've really got to find a way for a lesson bag will have more on the people whose lives was shattered by the us war on terror. so them of canister now heading into a 3rd day of its post u. s. reality was cobble airport and devoid of west and troops. and under the full control of the taliban, us armored vehicles, helicopters, and ammunition can be seen abandoned outside the terminals. there are senior correspondent with gusty of reports next from couple these place looks very different till what we arrive to during the evacuation that cleaning the plagues up there is said enormous amount of work to do what with all the vehicles, all the armaments, all the i'm you mission that was left behind by us and allied forces as they were
2:12 am
treated as above while there was of this tool as a person that is still being cleaned up. but as i said, there's a lot of work to do these evacuation that the pentagon cools the largest and most complex in history left a whole lot of trash behind trash wreckage. and they, bree the taliban command, that tells us they destroyed 95 percent of the equipment, stuff, and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military or for us are destroyed 100 percent. we asked to see the airport and once crammed into the back of a pickup truck, we got our wish. it was like a movie set. dissolve the scene. our 1st stop was the helicopter graveyard. all the helicopters and there are a lot of them that were abandoned at capital airport. they have been sabotaged
2:13 am
quite visibly. the wires have been cut various various electrical blocks removed and smashed, apparently with a sledgehammer. anything the taliban or even afghans could use the americans destroyed and what they couldn't bring themselves to destroy. they let use the, the dog crate the cause such as the on lot. we have yet many of the dog lives behind by americans. but they weren't locked in crates as we had be led to believe they what they were, let you at the dentist, someone before the father, us troops had taken someone, had opened all the crates and left them with, with food on line animal activists of mobilized in the thousands, their incense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban,
2:14 am
the americans lift the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teams and our officers called the in charge of the dogs. and to dave, they came to the port and they are trying to collect the docks and they are trying to the facility for them and what they need to give them all we can say that they are safe. this may be just what the taliban needs. a p r. stuck collect the dogs, had the move with the activities and reap the humanitarian glory. alternatively, they may have enough on their plate. she, the americans didn't just as for the helicopters and vehicles, they trashed much more than that. when i was at the, at the morning led to the airport. so i saw a lot of destructions here. many things were destroyed. i don't know who did this actually, america was there. we have got damage,
2:15 am
and the road section you can see at the backside of me, it was also damaged. but fortunately by the help of our lobby made it and we might make it correct. the other interesting thing about the airport is the, the hundreds of armored diplomatic vehicles that have been left here abandon during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was on the way. this is passport control. a couple international airport. this is the states that it was left in after the evacuation was complete for some reason, other than destroying or the military vehicles and aircraft that the united states left behind. they also did for much of the airport civilian infrastructure, computers, x rays, cameras, even arrival and departure screens. here they saying it was the americans who cut the power cables knocked over the monitors, smashed windows and kicked in doors,
2:16 am
even new to the vending machines. why? perhaps boredom, bats hate. you don't. and the 20 year war edge, even a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of spite. or i'd get you a couple of gotten this done. more of the political side of a british foreign secretary don't want to grab another city. officials have been getting a lot of heat in parliament over the government handling. if you have kind of stuff pull out, described by the opposition is the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation. it is important for us to move what we're doing when 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 wet things. when did you want? when in fact, when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop. went to beck and i'm not sure i'd have to check if you'd like to know the busiest, very have to come back to 3rd grade, but seems particularly reading because high come us was recently in his back
2:17 am
installed, arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a route that works really effectively from germany. did you ever, at any point, consent or 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 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 could not answer. confident in 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?
2:18 am
they will be in the low hundreds, $900.00 sounds that it could be $400.00 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 one 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 assess what was needed during the to process. but the foreign secretary believe the efforts in the u. k. much those on the ground who is take response because 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 3 types of cases.
2:19 am
they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't you 3 question question. you're going back to the question from that from when i was really been fine, but i'll 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 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. the big picture is ripples from the pull up begin to be felt around the world. western media is saying the u. s. x in from, i've got established actually benefit russia, china now it may be with the americans gone and they say paging. and moscow is set
2:20 am
to a lucrative influence in the central asian country. and it's been something of a talking point to the major economic forum that kicked off early today in russia's far east print together. investors around the globe from the city of lead, it will stop the next exam. boy care reports this platform before and was created 6 years ago as a way of bringing together an a jiving percentages that exist between russia's own parson regions. big asian power houses, countries like china, india, south korea, japan, vietnam. and all of those countries are present. the form in some shape or form, but of course, the russian chinese partnership is the most, develop a wall simply because of the way these countries, complimenting each other's strengths and weaknesses, both strategically and tactically, both russia and china share the vision of eurasia as integrated, logistically i'm economically integrated retail when neighbors can feed off each
2:21 am
other's trade and development rather than compete for the fears up influence such vision of united eurasia into great. if you raise your from lisbon to live a soc, could not be realized with of ghana son remaining a major seat of war. and that's why i think, to some extent watson media arrived that russia and china looking at what's happening in afghanistan very closely because this country of data sun is located right in the center of eurasia, with the war waging their 4th jacobs on any efforts to leave the west and east was doomed. now i think what's taken maney participants of this forum a back. where was the statement by joseph? by them they delayed a statement on the janice, answering gauge of the serious competition with china. we're dealing with the challenges and multiple french with russia,
2:22 am
and there's nothing china or russia would rather have, would want more in this competition in the united states to be bogged down another decade in afghanistan. while the most graceful interpretation i could give to this phrase wide, joseph biden is that he is searching for some retorted old device. but i think it's well known to anyone who knows anything about the politics of the region that russia and china has long been. have long been critical of the american presence here, and the total futility is not declined that this presence abroad because it was a huge waste of money. but above all, it was a huge waste of life, not only african lives, but also live in regions because both russia and china believe that the americans for many decades use the instability, janice on to saw instability in central asia for russia or in suzanne province for china, but both countries are eagerly looking forward to see whether what the american
2:23 am
president sad about and can be either of wars, whether it's indeed true or not, whether it's rhetoric or whether it's indeed a change in american foreign policy because they want nothing else than the united states finally putting an ad to its efforts to remake other countries by the use of military for exxon polio, reporting that a couple of days ago that he can reform over in flooding or stocks. 7, i was head of us. no final, few minutes for support of events should come with us if you will, would token icebergs, octagon animals, and it's all at the top of the world. more than on our continuing adventure to the north pole. sure. we were heading there, a board of russian nuclear. i spray carol, and the 2nd part of his report comes to the heroes called the phrase, the cold reached the ship's crew and even take some plunge into those i see water previously or departing from the city of more mascot, the whole board of world only nuclear ice breaker played this shit is huge. i mean,
2:24 am
it's basically like a rebuilding, let's step in dark habit. nothing fancy, but it has everything we need. we walk around the ship, i see radio. doesn't mean that could be exposed to radiation. correct, so i'm writing more like a lot. we're going all the way to the north. now it's time to meet the captain. a tall, handsome man who likes the smoke is bite on the bridge while steering the mighty vessel forward. at the cliff. it's the rudder as i understand, through all through all the more than you can effectively cool the ship's wheel, the rudder above and it has automatic steering, which holds the ship's course. some there's a call. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? when you say axiom of the bill, that's quite an auto pilot. auto pilot is what keeps an aircraft in 3 dimensions. whereas on a ship, it's just to show up. and then if i turn the rudder or that was,
2:25 am
it was just a new course. the vessel will turn and adjusts to a new steady cause. and this is what happens on a lower deck every time the captain adjusts the course. the helm sets these large pistons in motion, which turns the ship left. we're right there. we were on the bridge interviewing the captain, and we were lucky enough to side our 1st arctic iceberg. let me show you this. back to the day. icebergs aren't 100 percent white. they have these beautiful to watch shape. they also come in handy for local birds. and habitable icebergs i can tell, there are birds on the sea, birds which rest in the water. they use any surface that they find it an iceberg or a ship. they use it to take a rest. after 2 days of sailing, we reach friends, joseph land, and uninhibited arctic archipelago which belongs to russia,
2:26 am
nor this is the northern most part of russia and a last piece of land on the way to the north pole. so in advance, we're approaching the edge of the world. now the most dangerous part of our journey begins. if something happens, it will take days for someone to come rescue us from now on. we can count only in ourselves and our captain the well, this is what it feels like. the ice breaker for the ice, everything trembling. we can't win the ship, hit the i mean
2:27 am
it's huge blades on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are. they are part bored for sailors that are constantly working underneath the vessel, my things at an icebreaker, ramsey, i, but it actually rides upon it 1st and then crushes downward with all the mine. and that's one. the propellers come into play, they help chop the small pieces painting the way forward, watching the ship break yards and push dry and trying to decide as mesmerized. it's really both calming and intimidating at the same time. have a look at this. the wide path led by the ice, gregory is close enough. as soon as we have passed through in a few minutes or the hours, it's all going to be covered with ice again as it we've never been here. shows you who the boss is around here and i guess makes you feel small and insignificant
2:28 am
parts of the ships start to cover with ice as we get closer to the north pole. however, the temperature isn't extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me, veteran polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on the resolution. it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the earth. it's completely false. the north pole is the middle of an ocean. the ocean does it kind of have storage as it allows temperature spike frequently at the north pole? it's warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or. and it means the pole of coal does not coincide with an actual geographical walk. victor by ascii, has taken several dozen expeditions to the north pole. global warming, he says, is speaking. it's tall on the arctic and the eyes becomes thinner every year. however, he doesn't believe men made c, o 2 emissions are to blame for everything. and i share the same viewpoint is fine. to also think that this process is not a reversible in nature. the anthropogenic factor is the main way. what it means is
2:29 am
that imagine for a 2nd, we'll switch to green energy and stop reducing c o 2 in the atmosphere. all the factory is a close and you think this will suddenly don't know why it's coming up next? well, don't be fooled by his adorable look. a polar bear will go after anything that's moving. if it's there time, it's midnight. but look how bright it is. for me, we are on top of the coming together and i'm go it it yeah, well, what the venture raise got more to morrow as promise, but back to now it's kevin no into the team signing off. thanks. check it in. if having to go to work or whatever today, it's a $29.00 and
2:30 am
a half minutes past the hour. this is our t international the, [000:00:00;00] who's well considered alex famine. sure. well, we look at the end of the medical longest war in afghanistan, 20 years ago at the start of the conflict. colonel lawrence wilkerson was at the, at the center of decision making as chief of staff to then us secretary of state colin powell. no, i distinguished professor william and me the college was his assessment of a medical longest war. he joins alec shortly, but 1st he treats messages and emails and response to i show last week on political
