well, yes, to shape out the thing becomes the after kid and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the parts we choose to look for common ground the i was begging to go to want to know because what i witnessed was so destructive to this day. i haven't gone to sleep. first of all, in depth investigation into the victims of america's brutal war on terror with a line drawn by the us, pulled out from africa, former guantanamo detainees. molest him back, share the horrors he endured. and found a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife, tortured a wave picture of my children. would you say all now? when did it happen? like you took your way to get access to cobble ad pulled just days after it was
12:01 pm
abandoned by western troops, terminal equipment shattered and destroyed in the us for trade, all the helicopters and there are a lot of them that were abandoned the was to be got various various electrical blocks remove you look to buy its way out of another potential migrant crisis plan to pay off. gonna stand neighbors. hundreds of millions of euros to keep refugees that will. this is what it feels like. by the way, why we pretty much everything like that. and the crew continues his journey on that nuclear icebreaker plowing its way through the frozen golden seas. this time exploring more of the high tech vessel meeting its crew had encountering an iceberg along the way. ah,
12:02 pm
i there thursday evening at 7 here and moscow. my name is colin bright with world news from the international welcome to the program. first that with the u. s. out of afghanistan, washington, it is now set to review the failings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation. and r t is set to scrutinize the heroic impact, the occupation had on the lives of millions. in a special project, we tell the stories of the people effected directly by the long running battle and ghosts of war. ah, the 1st 53 year old mo awesome bag lives in britain 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 them all too well. i had to stop telling myself that i'm the father, that i am 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,
12:03 pm
and that was my number 558. that was my number in 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 further tortured. either you're with us or you're with the enemy. 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 response 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 for me. it wasn't just me. they picked on
12:04 pm
everyone who knows. if anybody is prepared to hand you over to contact, to talk to you. you know, i live in the past that is and the bill of rights and i'm my parents from boston. 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, 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 on. we'll use all tools at our disposal. the
12:05 pm
boys a few bad apples and isolated incidents. one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. for me, this place pit demise what the united states was doing in afghanistan. they were bringing people to this torture site afghans ordering guns 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 got to guantanamo, i was begging to go to the tunnel because what i've seen and witnessed in belgrade was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. oh i . several of us were sent to one tunnel including several taliban members,
12:06 pm
who now heads of various departments in the government were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten with spat upon. we were humiliated photographs. this was taken during this period of time, they had a, the sounds of a woman in the next room that led me to believe was my wife being tortured. they waved with a picture of my children in front of me and asked me where do you think they are now? what do you think happened to me took your way? and of course, what they wanted me to do was cosign a confession that i was a member of al qaeda, which i was not. and this was, i'd say, stand it, i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other prisoners i me. ah, so this is the handmade calendar that i made when i was in guantanamo. i thought
12:07 pm
that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days turn it to 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 actually made it worse to look at the calendar and start to count down the days my children growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stab in the 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 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,
12:08 pm
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 day. and i think i left guantanamo not hating america because of those soldiers. 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 you that they cannot sleep at night. so i am in no doubt about the, the effects of this war, not just on the individuals,
12:09 pm
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 americans. enough. they would investigate to the united 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 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
12:10 pm
assistance to the people who understand it's got in a 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, with the united states and britain in particular. i think they're feeling very upset because this is a defeat. it's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and that 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 in touch with britain or america, you've really got to find a way forward. we're going to be bringing more of those very personal stories from people whose lives were shattered by the us war on terror. next though videos emerged of us soldiers firing into the air and grounded
12:11 pm
cobbler international airport in late august as crowds of desperate africa and try to force their way onto the field. the footage was posted by a us marine guarding the airport. it to pick service members throwing smoke grenades for a warning shots and pointing their weapons at civilians with women and children among them. american officials earlier confirmed that warning shots were indeed fired as means of crowd control. now though couple airport is devoid of western troops and under taliban control, the u. s. military tried to destroy whatever equipment they could before leaving, which could also be seen in the marines. video of senior correspondent marine gas, the reports next from the airport. these place looks very different to what we arrived 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
12:12 pm
treated as above while there was of it this tool as a person that is still being cleaned up. but as i said, there's a lot of work to do this. evacuation that the pentagon called 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're destroyed 95 percent of equipment, stuff, and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military, for oedipus, 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 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
12:13 pm
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 loose here the, the dog crate. the cause such as the on lot, you have yet many of the dogs lives behind by americans. but they weren't locked in crates as we had be led to believe what they were let you at the dentist, someone before the father, us troops would take someone, had opened all the crates and left them with, with food on line animal activists of mobilized in the thousands there in the sense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban,
12:14 pm
the americans live the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teams and our officers called the in charge of the docs. 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 these may be just what the taliban needs. a p r. stunt collect the dogs, had the move with the activists and reap the humanitarian glory. alternatively, they may have enough on their plate. she, the americans didn't justice for the helicopters and vehicles. they trashed much more than that when i visited the morning to the airport. so i saw a lot of distractions here. many things were destroyed. i don't know who did this, actually, america was there. we have got damage, and the road section, you can see at the backside of me,
12:15 pm
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 abandoned during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was on the way. this is passport control at capital 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 the power cables knocked over the monitors, smashed windows and kicked in doors, even new to the vending machines. why?
12:16 pm
perhaps boredom, perhaps hate. you don't end the 20 year war and leave in a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of spite more i'd guess d a r t couple. i've gotten this done with some european countries refusing to take african refugees. a recent joint statement from the blog has pledged 300000000 euros to help nations border afghanistan. deal with the flow of newcomers. over the past few days and thousands of african refugees have crossed into pakistan, setting up a makeshift company, one border crossing the country's already home to some 1500000 afghans. and it's not about recently announced that it is closing that crossing because it's so overwhelmed with the number of people arriving. don't call to next takes a closer look at another migrant crisis in the making. as the u. s. fled war torn afghanistan, it left countless thousands, either displaced or scrambling to leave the country. and now your opinions are
12:17 pm
having flashbacks of the 2015 migration crisis. oh, based on message known to you and it's member state stand determined to act jointly to prevent the reoccurrence of uncontrolled, large scale illegal migration movements faced in the past. appropriate security checks should be carried out, including through the full use of relevant to you databases. as well as registration in euro deck. this time though brussels is ready to buy out afghanistan's neighbors as long as they're the ones willing to bear the brunt of the refugee influx. the will engage in strengthening support to 3rd countries. in particular, the neighbor and intransitive countries housed in large numbers of migrants and refugees to reinforce their capacities to provide protection, dignified and safe reception conditions and sustainable livelihoods for refugees and host communities. saw me, your country is like austria, poland,
12:18 pm
and hungary have flat out, refused to accept any new migrants. while germany has sent its foreign minister, high co moss, to plead with the middle east and central asia. but many countries are already at full capacity around in pakistan. for example, so the highest influx of afghans last year with the latter accepting nearly $1500000.00 new asylum seekers. pushed to the capacity. you know, can we absorb more if we give is what needs to be understood? it's no wonder as lama bod is not looking for anymore or focus on. we're not support. massive influx of refugees to focus on or d 5, and have millions of refugees. this is burden on both sides of the sources because the international community is dark port gummy, and it has also created social nomic problems in the past for decades. same is true
12:19 pm
about it on the main question is why these refuse use are to go to you don, are focused on only why not the rest of the word, especially the developed war or the european union are the states should accept those refuses in 2020 to ron also accepted a whopping 780000 refugees despite crippling sanctions. while this year, thousands more are expected. it's not like the country is getting much in the way of international aid either. now the financial assistance provided by the un and the european union, etc. they are welcome. of course, they provide very little compared to what it will actually cost for the government to host these peoples. well, iran already has a can refugee population of around a 1000000 with a total of over $2000000.00 r can he is currently living in iran. so iran is already hosting
12:20 pm
a very large can population. and because of the current american sanctions on your, on the raining economy is not doing very well. and i think having further refugees any year on is going to be very problematic for the government. you can also count turkey on the list of migrant overloaded countries. back in 2016 europe, provided ankara, assistance to stem the flow of europe, bound migrants. and to this day, 3700000 syrian refugees and around 300000 afghans remain as turkey, we have sufficiently carried out our moral and humanitarian responsibilities regarding migration, it is out of the question for us to take an additional refugee burden. another regional player took a stan has agreed to accept some refugees temporarily while as becca stand has completely closed its borders to them. so as the west wraps up, it's costly and arguably, pointless. 20 or conflict. it seems like they're expecting others to clean up the
12:21 pm
mess it left behind. they have middle with janice, then they have ruined their security. and they left the atkins unstable. they left them in a way that they rather where sure that there would be war and instability in the country. and they don't care about the problems that they have cause they, us should not be allowed to escape the prices. the europeans who aided the united states, they should not be allowed to escape the prices. they are the 1st and main party that are needed to pay the price for their, you know, for the fire that they started in this region on line for you that says a reality or speculation. cnn planes is growing concerned in the us. the white supremacists and insurrection is to being inspired by the taliban success in afghanistan, where they saw that story find out about the dot com. ah, well,
12:22 pm
is that east coast americans in gulf light, tornadoes, floods and heavy down pools in the wake of hurricane ida with the devastating force of nature captured on video. you can watch that and read more about it on our website right now. a few minutes. finally them for spot of adventure icebergs, optic animals and the top of the world all about a more on artes, continuing adventure to the north pole. i'm a heading, the board of russian nuclear icebreaker. it is 2nd report, constantine broadcom, braves. the cold meets the ship's crew and gets to experience life in the arctic. previously, we're departing from the city of more mascot, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker plate. this shit is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding the left step and our cabin. 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. all
12:23 pm
right, 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 his bite on the bridge while steering the mighty vessel forward. at the other 20 miles, it's the rudder. as i understand through a move through all the more you can effectively cool the ship's wheel, the rudder. 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 course. and this is what happens on a lower deck. every time the captain adjusts the course,
12:24 pm
the helm sets these large pistons in motion, which turns the ship left. we're right there we were on the bridge interview and the captain and we were lucky enough to side our 1st arctic iceberg. appreciate 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. as 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.
12:25 pm
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, the well, this is what it feels like. the ice great when it, when, when the ice, everything was trembling. when the ship hits the, i mean, it's huge blades on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are their part or propellers that are constantly working
12:26 pm
underneath. you might think data, 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 into small pieces, paving the way forward watching the ship break the 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
12:27 pm
on the prison. it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the earth. it's completely poles. the north pole is the middle of an ocean. the ocean is it kind of heat storage and 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 big 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 off scientists who also think that this process is not a reversible in nature. the anthropogenic factor is the main way. what it means is, imagine for a 2nd, we'll switch to green energy and stop reducing c o 2 in the atmosphere. over factory is a close and you think this will suddenly,
12:28 pm
i don't know why coming up next. 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 water right. coming together and i'm going rather mazing ship incredible adventure, looking forward to constant things. next installment tomorrow. here on our tea, we're off to washington. next flow and scottsdale hughes off the witch andrew farmers got your next update from the bosco newsroom. oh, i
12:29 pm
12:30 pm
i can't read the drugs are essential for millions of patients. or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work. the problem is, in a long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can pills. so of all ills, or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like i was just scared, scared, little girl of 24. and like me didn't have to be so complicated the.
