we get access to control airport just days after was abandoned by western troops terminal and equipment shattered, destroyed in the u. s. richard all the helicopters and there are lots of them that were abandoned. the wise have been cut various various electrical blocks, remove more v looks to buy its way to another potential migrant crisis with plans to pay after understands neighbors. hundreds of millions of euro's the key refugees there. and what about? well this is what it feels like. the eyes break. allowing for the trembling hand, denotie cru continues its journey on that nuclear icebreaker, having its way through the phrase and seem to be out sick. this time exploring more of the high tech vessel meeting the crew, and also encountering an iceberg along the way.
1:02 pm
ah, hello, welcome. good evening. just going 8 o'clock in moscow. you watching artie international . now with the us, i told the afghan is done. washington is set to review the failings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation. an art is set to scrutinize to the risk impact the occupation had on the lives of millions. in the special report, we tell the stories of people affected directly by the long running battle in go of war. i. now in our 1st report, 53 year old motion, beg lives in britain, from the nonprofit organization and doesn't look like someone who slipped the experience of america's worst prison practices. but he knows about them all say, well i had to stop telling myself that i'm a father that i am a son. i'm
1:03 pm
a husband that i'm a human being. i started to pull myself with what i had been told that i was, and that was my number 558. that was my number. and going to the 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 serious to be tortured. either you're with us or you were the enemy. there's no in between . and that doctor still stand. ah, in i think it's quite clear to meet the united states response to the terrible acts of,
1:04 pm
of 911 was vengeance. the war on terror is not a police operation. it's 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 complete the talk you, you know, i live pakistan is the enemy of the right. and i'm my terrorist and i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the americans without any legal process before i was held that for a year in 2002 to 2003. and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american soldiers. these terrorists play by a whole set of different rules. it's going to force us in your words to get me dirty and nasty in order to take them. i will use all tools at our disposal to do so. the
1:05 pm
boys a few bad apples. isolated incidents, one by one, the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to lead this place, i pity my what me and i did, states was doing in afghanistan. they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans bordering 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 got to guantanamo, i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witness in background was so destructive to this day i have, i can't sleep. oh i
1:06 pm
. several of us was sent to one tunnel including several taliban members, who now heads of various departments from the act and government were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten and was spat upon. we were humiliated photographs and this was taken during this period of time. they had a found 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 me where do you think they are now, what do you think happened to them? the night and took your way. and of course what they wanted me to do was to sign a confession that i was a member of our kite, of which i was not. and this was i chase and that i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other prisoners i me.
1:07 pm
ah, so this is the handmade calendar that i made when i was in guantanamo. i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days tended 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's 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 the numbers could mean some sort of a code. so it was that kind of nonsensical reduction disconnecting from the idea of
1:08 pm
being a father. ironically and sadly, but also my own personal faith in 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 information. sometimes they can chocolate. sometime maybe we can a dvd player and show me a film. did lots of humanity that i have never forgotten to do that. and i think i left on time to move, not hating america because of those soldiers, me messages directly from some american soldiers who say that this has be a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals. soldiers i spoke,
1:09 pm
told me that they cannot sleep at night. so i am in no doubt about the, the effect 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 destroyed. the united states produced a senate to report on torture, but not a single person was bought for charges for these war crimes. recently i gave evidence the international criminal court for their investigations of abuses by americans, enough gunnison they will investigate to the united states, the gun national army and the taliban. 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 committee court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere the want to investigate us. i
1:10 pm
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 got in 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 it's pakistan with indonesia would be like states and britain in particular. i think that 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 asking people, it's no good. i've got a sense of what the britain or america you've really got to find a way forward. we'll have that service special reports this week, speaking to values whose lives were shattered by the us for on terror. now the
1:11 pm
video has emerged. us soldiers meanwhile, firing into the ground cabal international airport. in late august as crime of desperate afghans tried to force their way on to the airfield, the footage was posted by us marine guarding the airport just to pick service members throwing smoke grenades following morning shots and pointing their weapons civilians with women and children among them american officials early confirmed to that warning shorts were indeed fired as a means of crime control. well, couple airport, he's now devoid of western troops and on the taliban control, the u. s. military tried to destroy whatever equipment they could before leaving, which can also be seen in the marines. video of senior correspondent motors cast 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's said
1:12 pm
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 that they were 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 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 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, a disaster, the scene. our 1st stop was the helicopter graveyard,
1:13 pm
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 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 dogs lives behind by american food. 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 off, someone had opened all the crates and left them with, with food on line animal activists of mobilized in the thousands,
1:14 pm
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 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 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 distractions here. manny my things are described. i don't know who did
1:15 pm
this. actually, america was there. we have got damage 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 abandoned during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was underway. 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 destroyed much of the airport civilian infrastructure, computers, x rays, cameras, even arrival and departure screens. here they saying it was the americans who cut
1:16 pm
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 read 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. now with some european countries refusing to take half can refugees, a recent joint statement from the year has pledged 300000000 euros to help nations who border afghanistan deal with the flow of newcomers. over the past few days, i was in the vast can refugees have entered pakistan, setting up a mate ship company, one border crossing of the country was already home to some one and a half 1000000 afghans and islam. it's, i'm a bad has recently, and it's closing the crossing gene to the sheer volume of people arriving don't court to take
1:17 pm
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 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 you will engage in strengthening support to 3rd countries. in particular, the neighbor and intransitive. countries host in large numbers of migrants and
1:18 pm
refugees to reinforce their capacities, to provide protection, dignified and safe reception conditions and sustainable livelihood. for refugees and host communities, semi you countries like austria, poland, 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, saw the highest influx of afghan last year with the latter accepting nearly $1500000.00 new asylum seekers to push 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 any more or all focus on. we're not support. massive influx of refugees to focus on the 5. and he have millions of refugees. this is a burden on both sides of the sources because the international community is dark port
1:19 pm
gummy, and it has also created social nomic problems in the past 4 decades. same is true about it on the main question is why these the fuji's are to go to you don, are focused on only why not the rest of the world, especially the developed world or the european union are the states should accept those refuses in 2020 to iran 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 pieces. well, iran already has a can refugee population of around
1:20 pm
a 1000000 with a total of over $2000000.00 counties currently living in iran. so iran is already hosting a very large can population. and because of the current american sanctions on your own, the raining economy is not doing very well. and i think having further refugees, any you want 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 morrow 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
1:21 pm
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 mess it left behind. they have middle with janice that 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. i find the desert
1:22 pm
time to get back on board a cruise with a difference, icebergs and arctic animals rule part today's report from the russian nuclear icebreaker, taking, i'll call, responding to the north pole, raving the cold. once again, his constantine rush cough previously or departing from the city of more mascot, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker played this shit is huge. i mean, it's basically like a rebuilding, let's step in dark habit. so nothing fancy why it has everything we need. we walk around the ship, i see radiation doesn't mean that could be exposed to radiation. 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. he's bite on the bridge while steering the mighty vessel forward. at the other 20 miles,
1:23 pm
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 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 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 the large pistons in motion, which turns the ship laughed. we're right. we were on the bridge interview and 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
1:24 pm
watch shape. they also come in handy for local birds. and habitable icebergs 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, 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 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
1:25 pm
well, well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers when i went for the ice, everything trembling, i can't admit when the ship hits the i mean, it's huge. blaze on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are, they are part bored for baylor, that are constantly working underneath that. 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 small pieces painting the way forward, watching the ship break yards and push dry and trying to decide is mesmerized. it's
1:26 pm
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 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 the resolution. 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 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
1:27 pm
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. and i share the same viewpoint. it's fine to also think that this process is not a reversible in its 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, it's midnight. but look how bright it is. for me, we are on top of the coming together ems and
1:28 pm
i'm go. it is still plenty more to come to the gulf. he killed? no, doesn't it? that's a nice so far today here in archie will have more few in about 30 the ah ah
1:29 pm
for ah ah. well, consider alex salmon you well, we look at the end of medic has the 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 maybe college was his assessment of america's longest war. he joins alec shortly, but 1st your 2 semesters and emails and response to actual last week on political
1:30 pm
polling between professor john curtis. i'm james kelly. did. scott said, love it, opinion poor youth and don't freeze. doesn't stipulate what the rest of us got into thinking. i'm. it's not simple monica, i don't know. faith, this is a must watch for all. induce supporters. i'm going to bonds to james kelly, the parents. teddy says, great, sure, good to see you all jane. and finally, sarah alba says it was nice to see you on t v gene. let's have more non veteran kernel lord wilkerson prepared the un presentation by which colon power justified the invasion of iraq to the international community. he describes it as the worst moments of his professional life as he moved from washington insider to trench and critic of the new con policies of successive us administration. he joins alex, the clause of the american intervention in afghanistan. come a lot of the.
