8:00 am
this thing is got everybody locked down or almost no food and no one really. you know, i'm not sure somebody either stuck in the coven, your living like the theme and of home. but in the 21st century, ah ah, i was begging to go to montana because what i've seen and witnessed in belgrade was so destructive to this day i hadn't, i want to sleep. the 1st of all in depth investigation into the victims of america's brutal war on terror, with a line drawn by the us pull out from afghanistan, latham back a former guantanamo detainees shed the horrors he enjoyed. they had a sound woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife being tortured.
8:01 am
they wait with the picture of my children in front of me off. where do you think they are now? what do you think happened? who took your way? we get access to cobble airport just days after it was abandoned by western troops, terminal equipment shattered and destroyed in the us retreat. all ve helicopters and there are lots of them that were abandoned. that was to be caught various various electrical blocks, remove britton's foreign secretaries, grilled by m p. 's over his handling of the crisis in afghanistan and why he was relaxing on the beach when cobble fell to the taliban. plus well, this is what it feels like. the ice breaker allowing for the ice, trembling of the crew continued its journey on that nuclear icebreaker, ploughing its way through the frozen north and seas. this time exploring more of the high tech vessel meeting its through and encountering an iceberg along the way
8:02 am
. ah, i just sent 3 in the afternoon of thursday here in moscow. my name is called him bray. welcome to your will news from arte 1st with the us out of afghanistan, washington's now set to review the failings of its rushed into chaotic evacuation, and said to scrutinize the heroic impact their occupation had on the lives of millions and special project ghosts of wool. ah, 53 year old milan bag lives in britain runs nonprofit and doesn't look like someone who's lived through the experience of america's worst prison practices. but he knows about that 1st hand. i had to stop telling myself that i'm a father that i my son, i'm a husband that i'm
8:03 am
a human being. i saw the whole myself. what i had been told that i was, and that was my number 558. that was my number and going to be in the room 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, syria, to be tortured with us or you were the enemy. there's no in between. and that doctor still stand. ah, i i think it's quite clear to meet the united states response to the terrible ducks of, of 911 was vengeance. the war on terror is not a police operation. it's
8:04 am
a military operation. why they picked from 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 through the pakistani the enemy overwrite, and i'm my terrorist and i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the mountains without any legal possible for me. i was held for 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 me 30 and nasty in order to take them. i will use our tools at our disposal, the
8:05 am
boys a few bad apples. isolated incident one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to lead this place, i pity my 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 back home and they would go home and tell people what the americans did. by the time i dr. guantanamo, i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witnessed in background was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. oh, i several of us, sensible internal, including several taliban members who now heads of the various departments in the
8:06 am
government were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten with speck 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's being tortured. they waved with pictures of my children in front of me and asked, where do you think they are now? would you think happened to them like me took your way? and of course what they wanted me to do was to sign a confession that i was 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 prison. i me. ah, so this is the hon made calendar that i made when i was in tunnel. i thought that
8:07 am
perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days turn it 2 weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realize 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 growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stabbing heart. and they would come sporadically, 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 official life and a 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,
8:08 am
my belief in god my reading, the koran and again inexpensively 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, lexus, humanity that i have never forgotten to this. and i think i left on time to move, not hating america because of those hold to me . messages directly from some american soldiers who say that this has been a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals sold not spoken to told me that they cannot live. so i am in no doubt about the, the effects of this war,
8:09 am
not just on the individuals, but on the nation as a whole of whom the soldiers are representative me, has gone to the shop and unity types were destroyed. the united states produced a senate to 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 americans, and i got a sense that they will investigate to be united states, the national army, and the caliber. the only ones who responded by threatening the international criminal court was the united states of america. they said that we will sanction all members of the national court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere. the want to investigate. i think the united states of america needs to step back if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people
8:10 am
who understand it's gotten the position to negotiate those conditions. it has, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures towards russia towards china. to it's the wrong to its pockets, dawn to within an easier 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, that they cannot be any more saber rattling. it's no good for the african people. it's no good. got, especially with the britain or america you've really got to find a way forward. we're going to have plenty more of the people. his lives were shattered by the us war on tara. so afghanistan is in its 3rd day now of a post us reality with cobble airport under the full control of the taliban,
8:11 am
us ahmed vehicles. helicopters and munition can be seen abandoned outside those ones of busy terminals. and our senior correspondent, i get the reports next from inside the facility. these place looks very different till what we arrive to during the evacuation that cleaning the plagues up. there's said enormous amount of work to do what with all the vehicles, all the armament, all the i'm you mission that was left behind by us and allied forces as they were treated as above while there was of this tool as a person that's he's 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,
8:12 am
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 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 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
8:13 am
locked in crates as we had be led to believe they were let you at the dentist, someone before the father, us troops had taken someone, had opened all the crate and left them with, with whom online animal activists have 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, the americans lift the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens on our officers 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 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,
8:14 am
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. my actually america was there. we have got damage and the road section you can see at the backside of me, it was also damage. 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
8:15 am
the state 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, even new to 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. or i'd gas d a r t couple. i've gotten this done. just weeks before the taliban seized cobble, joe biden reportedly knew it was about to happen, but desperately wanted ask, understands, then precedent to pretend otherwise. that revelation coming from
8:16 am
a bombshell leaked phone call between the 2 leaders, which the reuters news agency says it's been 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 a different picture, like conversation between biden and connie allegedly took place on the 23rd of july . the african liter appears to have followed the advice and 3 weeks later he addressed the nation bowing to prevent further instability, violent, and displacement of people. but just one day after that happened the taliban to cobble disbanded the police and government and force county to flee. the country all despite president biden heaping praise on the afghan army you clearly have the best military. you have 300000 well armed forces versus 708-0000. and 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
8:17 am
would be a strong adversary in their civil wars or the tale bond. that assumption that the afghan government would be able to hold on for a period of time beyond military draw down, turned out not to be accurate and exercise and in south delusion or spreading allusions. but the idea that you can say whether or not is 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 to come from to come from a world leader by having appears concerned about it. here is his image perception
8:18 am
of buying and that perception, of course, i'd take a big hit with his proclamations like this. there's 300000 african national army trained by the us. they wouldn't be able to do the job, they'd be able to hold on, of course, or we've all seen that none of that was true. and what's been called the biggest failure of foreign policy in a generation, the u. k. foreign secretary dominic rob has been lost by parliament for his performance on afghanistan. the hasty withdrawal of us troops of the swift, successful offensive by the taliban, apparently took rob by surprise. it is important for us to know what we're doing and why are you doing it from when did you were holding me through? i'm not looking to brush vicki. over this, i just want to know when you went, when did you get when? in fact, when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? went to becca. i'm not sure i'd have to check if you would like to know the busiest,
8:19 am
very have to come back to. i'd be very grateful. it seems particularly random because high come us with recent is better, start arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a real the work screen the effectively from germany. 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, claiming 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 committee. did the foreign secretary know how many u. k and 4 national long vulnerable people were still in afghanistan, which apparently he couldn't answer. confident numbers remaining, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why? 100 you mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean to under $3400.00?
8:20 am
they will be low, hundreds 100 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 afghan foreign minister to a junior minister to make a call, which ultimately didn't happen wrong off. how often he telephoned ministers in other countries to help assess what was needed during the or 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
8:21 am
explain the situation for you. just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting away together, frankly, and culture didn't use 3 question question. you're going back to the question from that from really been fine. but the other company did use one process, how career problems other examples they told me below, 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, the former leader of the independence party, said the war questions being directed at mister rob. bigger ones need to be asked of the british foreign office. think in this particular case dominant. rob needs to be able to offer certain questions. and i, you know, there's a question as you know when he was on leave, it's not particularly serious question in my mind. he should have been it is that got to tell 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 foreign ministry that came
8:22 am
up the question. when was the last time this state visitors specs done? well, probably never. and i know for a fact having worked across central asia for some years, the british engagement across central asia has been incredibly full. 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 corn office here in london, he was unable to speak to anybody but a junior desk officer. that is simply unacceptable. pay on line for you this thursday, reality or speculation. see it any claims that growing concerned in the us, the white supremacists and insurrection, as to being inspired by the taliban success in afghanistan. where did they saw that story find out at r t dot com money that east coast americans and gulf by tornadoes, floods and heavy down poles in the wake of hurricane ida with the devastating force
8:23 am
of nature captured on video for that much more had to our website who's a few minutes and now finally for a spot of adventure, icebergs arctic animals on the top of the world. all that a more an art is continuing adventure to the north pole. we're heading there aboard a russian nuclear icebreaker and it is 2nd report. constantine voice called braves, the cold meets the ship's crew and takes a plunge into those icy waters. previously, we're departing from the mascot. the whole board of our world only nuclear ice breaker played. this is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding the left step and our cabin nothing fancy, but it has everything we need. so we walk around the ship, i see radio doesn't mean that could be exposed to radiation. all right, so writing more like
8:24 am
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 his bite on the bridge while steering the mighty valve so forward. at the other 20 miles, 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. some there's a call. 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 just a new course. the vessel will turn and adjust 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 interview and
8:25 am
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 watch. she. they also come in handy for local birds. it's been in the habit of the library. i can 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, or this is the northern most part of russia and a last piece of land on the way to the north pole. so in this dance, we're approaching the edge of the world. now the most dangerous part of our journey begins. if something happens,
8:26 am
it will take days for someone to come rescue us from now on. we can count only in ourselves and our captain the, the well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers when it, when everything trembling and when the ship hits the huge blades on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are, they are part board prevail or that are constantly working underneath. you might think data icebreaker, ramsey, i did actually write the potter 1st and then crushes down word with all the mind.
8:27 am
and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help chop the small pieces, paving the way forward watching the ship break yards and push dry and trying to decide is mesmerized. it's weirdly 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 is an 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 prism. 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
8:28 am
of have storage and as it allows temperature spike 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. 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 pissed off fine. to also think that this process is not a reversible in nature. the anthropogenic fact 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? well, don't be fooled by his adorable look. a polar bear will go after anything that's moving. if it's there time,
8:29 am
it's midnight. but look how bright it is. it looks to me. we are on top of the old coming together ems and go it. it was more of constant. these no poll voyage to morrow and also when you tube channels where you'll also find more of our award winning shows. your next update from us here in moscow isn't around half an hour. see then oh i i, i
