driven by dreamer shapes, by those in me dares thing we dare to ask me. ah, i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witnessed was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. the 1st 7 in depth investigation for you then into the victims of america's brutal war on terror, with a line drawn out by the us from a gun to sun. well as a bag, full guantanamo detainees,
6:01 am
shares with us the horrors in june. they had a found a woman in the next room that led me to believe was my wife being tortured with the picture of my children in front of me off the way, do you think they are now? what do you think happened to me took your way coming up so if you will get access to cobble apple just days after it was abandoned by western troops, you see that the equipment shafted and destroyed in the us retreat for the helicopters. and there are a lot of them that were abandoned the was have been caught various various electrical blocks, remove britain this foreign secretary grilled by pays over his handling of the crisis. enough gun to start and why he was relaxing on a big show when cobble fell to the taliban. plus the well, this is what it feels like. the iceberg. while we were the way that's
6:02 am
accrues the different snotty crew continuing his journey on that massive nuclear icebreaker. plowing his way through the frozen northern seas, some exploring more of the high tech vessel, me to the crew, and encountering one or 2 icebergs along the way. ah, one of the afternoon he and i live marty's world views h q, moscow. this thursday, the 2nd of september, my name is kevin o, in thank you for checking in with us, is taking through the top stories and with the us out of afghanistan, washington, there's no set to review the failings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation. and we here at our te, set to scrutinize the riffing impact their occupation had on the lives of millions of people in our special project we put together called ghosts of war. i
6:03 am
53 year old was and beg lives in britain. these days 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 full well. first hand, i had to stop telling myself that i'm the father, that i, my son, i'm a husband that i'm a human being. i started to whole myself. what i had been told that i was, and that was my number 558. that was my number and gone to the in was in may 2002. 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 tortured with us. are you with the enemy?
6:04 am
there is no in between and that doctor still stay on the line? i think it's quite clear to me at the 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 didn't pick from me? it wasn't just me. they picked on everyone. who knows. if anybody prepared to hand you over to complete the course, you know, i live in the packet. that is the enemy overwrite. and i'm, my parents went on a deal national. they handed me over to the americans without any legal principle for me with me. i was held for
6:05 am
a year in 2002 to 2003. and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american soldiers. these terrorists played by a whole set of different rules. it's going to force us in your words to get mean dirty and nasty in order to take them. i will use all tools at our disposal to do the boys a few bad apples and isolated incidents one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to me, this place, i pity my what me and i did. states was doing that. they were bringing people to this torture site afghans 40 afghans and abusing them outside of the rule of law,
6:06 am
and then allowing some of them to go 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 witness and background was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. i use several of us since one time and several taliban members who now heads of various departments in the act and government were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten, was spat upon. we were humiliated photographs, and this was taken during this period of time. they had a, they found a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife being tortured. they waived the picture 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 try and a confession that i was
6:07 am
a member of al qaeda, which i was not. and this was, i'd say stand that i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other person. i me. ah, so this look into handmade calendar that i made when i was in quinton, them. 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 start to count on the days my children were growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stab in the heart. and they would come sporadically,
6:08 am
they had to be vetted uncensored by the us censorship. my daughter who was 6 at the time, wrote a poem, 12345. once i caught a fish alive, and they redacted that because they said that has numbers in the 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 on expectedly, becoming friends with several of the american soldiers who would bring me little snippets of information. sometimes they can a chocolate. sometimes we can a dvd player and show me a film, lexus, humanity that i have never forgotten to this. and i think i left guantanamo not hating america because of those soldiers,
6:09 am
me messages directly from some american soldiers who say that this has been a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals, soldiers spoken to told me that they cannot sleep 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 by
6:10 am
americans. and they were investigating the united states, the african national army, and the taliban. the only ones who responded by threatening the international criminal court will be united states of america. they said that we will sanction all members of the national committee court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere that 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 its china, towards iran, to its pockets dawned with indonesia would be like states and britain in particular . i think they're feeling very upset because this is a defeat that's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and not imperial hubris, as it were, will not allow them to say that we need to move forward and continue within
6:11 am
negotiations that we began in doha, that they cannot be any more saber rattling. it's no good for the african people. it's no good. got in touch with britain or america. you've really got to find a way for why somebody could just leg said we're going to have more of the people whose lives were shattered by the you was war on terror in the near future to go back to afghanistan and the country into its 3rd day of a post u. s. reality with cobble airport and devoid of western troops and under the full control of the taliban. of course us armored vehicles, helicopters and munition can be seen abandoned outside the once the busy set a terminals. it's a weird scene. senior correspondent, we're going to have reports next and from kabul airport, these place looks very different to what we arrived to during the evacuation that cleaning the plagues up. there's set enormous amount of work to do what with all
6:12 am
the vehicles, all the armaments, all the ammunition that was left behind by us and allied forces as they retreated 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 calls 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 equipment, stuff, and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military 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, a disaster scene. our 1st stop was the helicopter graveyard, all the helicopters and there are
6:13 am
a lot of them that were abandoned at capital airport. they have been sabotaged quite visibly. the wires have been cut various various electrical blocks removed and smashed, apparently with a sledge hammer. anything the taliban or even afghans could use the americans destroyed and what they couldn't bring themselves to destroy. they let use of the, the gold crate. the cause such a lot. you have yet many of the dog lives behind by american booth. but they weren't locked in crate, has led to believe they, they will 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,
6:14 am
their incense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban. the americans live the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens are often called the in charge of those 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. these may be just what the taliban needs. a p. r. stuck collect the dogs and the move with the activities and reap the humanitarian glory. alternatively, they may have enough on their plate. she, the americans didn't just this for the helicopters and vehicles. they trashed much more than that. when i was at the, at the morning to the airport, so i saw a lot of destructions here. many things were destroyed. i don't know who did
6:15 am
this actually, american was there. we have got damage in the section. you can see at the backside of me, it was also damage, but fortunately by the help of a 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 at capitol 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 stored much of the airport civilian infrastructure, computers, x rays, cameras, even arrival and departure screens. here they saying it was the americans who cut
6:16 am
the power cables knocked over the monitors, smashed windows and kicked in doors even looted the vending machines. why? perhaps boredom, bats hate. you don't end the 20 year war and leave in a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of spite more i guess d a r t couple. i've gotten this done. then this, these came in just weeks before the taliban said couple seems joe biden reportedly knew about a long way and knew is going to happen, but desperately wanted a gun to stand then president, to pretend otherwise. that revelation coming from a bombshell league phone call between the 2 leaders, which the reuters news agency says it is able to verify the perception around the world. and in parts of afghanistan, i believe, is the things aren't going well in terms of the fight against the taliban, and there's a need whether it is true or not. there is a need to reject
6:17 am
a different picture. now follow this time trial that conversation between biden and god allegedly taking place on the 23rd of july. the african lead appears to have followed the advice to 3 weeks later he addressed the nation fighting to prevent further instability, violence, and displacement of people. but just one day, after that it happened. the taliban took cobble desponding, the police and government, and forced gone to flee the country. all despite president button, he paying praise on the afghan army. you clearly have the best military. you have 300000 well armed forces versus 708-0000 they're clearly capable of fighting. well . the assumption was that more than 300000 afghan national security forces that we had trained over the past 2 decades and equipped would be a strong adversary in their civil wars or the tale bond. that assumption
6:18 am
that the afghan government would be able to hold on for a period of time beyond military drop down turned out not to be accurate and exercise in south delusion or spreading allusions. but i do that, you can say whether or not it's true about the ability of the military, the military us trying to get to carry out the struggle as to whether or not that's true. we just need to change the picture. if i, it's an amazing statement here coming from her, come from a world leader by having appears concerned about here is his image perception of buying. and that perception, of course, i took a big hit with his proclamations like this. you know that there's 300000 african
6:19 am
national army trained by the us. they wouldn't be able to do the job that they'd be able to hold on. of course. and we've all seen that none of that was true. more of the political fall at the biggest fe or foreign policy in a generation. the you case, foreign secretary dominic rubbed and blasted by parliament for his performance and i've got to stand the hasty withdrawal of us troops in the swift, successful offensive by the taliban. apparently, to rob a surprise, it is important for us to know what you were doing and what you were doing from when did you book hold on. i'm with you. i'm not looking to brush big deal for this . i just want to know when you went things. when did you little? 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 very great what seems particularly random because high come us was recently it was better stop ranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be
6:20 am
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, claiming 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 can we see? did the foreign secretary know how many u. k. and 4 national long vulnerable people were still in afghanistan, which apparently he couldn't answer. confident numbers remain, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why? 100, you mean $110.00 sort of area, or do you mean under $3400.00? they will be in the low hundreds, $900.00 sounds that it could be $400.00. or it could be 10510115.
6:21 am
i'm, if i could give you any more precision because 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 afghan foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen. ra off. how often he telephoned ministers in other countries to help assess what was needed during the for process. but the foreign secretary believe the efforts in the u. k. much those on the ground who is take response people 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. just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting away to get, frankly,
6:22 am
and countries that didn't you 3 question question. you're going back to the question from that, from what i will find. but other countries use one process, how career problems other examples they don't people out 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. well, we'll have to wait and see on that one. meantime, i've been checking out. i'll see you don't call me on line this thursday. a lot of great stuff there to get your teeth into. if you haven't checked that, why not reality or speculation cnn. now claiming that is growing concerned in the us, the white supremacist insurrection is no less a being inspired by the taliban success. and i've got to stand with the way, did they source that story? find out? what is it terrible whether you see those pictures, east coast america's in gulf by tornadoes, floods and heavy downfalls in the wake of our can either with the devastating force and nature capture the video. so one picture coming through the past, there's
6:23 am
a wall of water. check out our site, r t dot com as some adventures for the next few minutes. why not a spot of iceberg spotting on tick animals and all the top of the world to tease continuing its adventure to the north pole? and the company constantly rose coff. he's all about massive russian nuclear icebreaker. so in the 2nd part of the port, he literally braves the cold as you'll see, meets the ship's crew and takes a plunge into those icy water. previously, or departing from the city of more man's god, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker plate. this shipment is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding step and our cabin nothing fancy, but it has everything we need. we walk around the ship. i see radiation doesn't mean i could be exposed to radiation. correct,
6:24 am
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 to smoke is bite on the bridge while steering the mighty. that's a forward at the clinic. it's the rudder as i understand. we'll move 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 for the sum, of course. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? nice 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, it was a new set. and you, course, the vessel will turn and adjust to a new steady course. and this is what happens on a lower deck every time the captain adjusts the course. the helm sets these large
6:25 am
pistons in motion, which turns to ship left were right. there we were on the bridge, interviewing the captain, and we were lucky enough to side our 1st arctic iceberg. shoot you this back to the day. icebergs aren't 100 percent white. they have these beautiful to a washing. they also come in handy for local birds. it's an habitable iceberg. going to tell. there are birds on the 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, nor this is the northern most part of russia and a last piece of land on the way to the north pole in the sand. we're approaching the edge of the world.
6:26 am
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 in our captain the well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the ice, everything trembling can't admit when the ship hits the scene is huge blades on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are there hard work or bail or that are constantly working
6:27 am
underneath of asking you might think that an icebreaker ramsey, i did actually write the potter 1st and then crushes down word with all the mind. and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help chop the into small pieces, paving the way forward watching the ship break the arts and push. dr. chung's have tried. is 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 parts of the ships start to cover with ice as we get closer to the north. however, the temperature isn't extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me and veteran polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on. that
6:28 am
was 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 spikes frequently at the north pole. it's warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or it means the pole of coal does not coincide with an actual geographical one. be there 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. but can i share the same viewpoint pissed off fine? do also think with this process is not a reversible in nature. the anthropogenic factor is the main way. what it means is 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?
6:29 am
well, don't be fooled by his adorable look. a polar bear. we'll go after anything that's moving. if it's there time, it's midnight. but look how bright it is. it looks to me, we are on top of the coming together and i'm go it, it was big adventure a continues again to morrow. check in with us to see that then back to today. color brace here. now for now to take you through the to do my name's kevin now in reporting for, for moscow, for me in the team. thank you for watching our t international. the look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a
6:30 am
robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. we have so many with demon a robot must protect his own existence with the november the $945.00 just a month after the war ended. ah, the us joint chief.
