7:00 pm
good, and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. the begging to go to because what i've seen and witness in background was so destructive to this day. i haven't gone to sleep. coming up this hour, the 1st of our in depth reports into the victims of americans, brittle war on terror. pulling us off from that down, stand once on a boat, detainees, mazama beg shares, the force he had a son, the woman in the next room. that was my wife to torture, a wave with pictures of my children in front of me and off the way you can be on. now what happens with the needs of your way?
7:01 pm
we get access to couple airport just days after it was abandoned by western troops, the terminal and equipment shattered and destroyed during the us retreat. all the helicopters said, there are a lot of them that were banded. the was the, the various various electrical blocks removed. and the you look to buy its way out of another potential migrant crisis with plans pay afghanistan, neighbors, hundreds of millions of euro's to houses such refugee. ah, right, guessing, love, direct studios and moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly go out to happy with us. right now with the u. s. out of afghanistan, washington is now set to review the feelings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation,
7:02 pm
and r t a set to scrutinize the horrific impact that the occupation had on the lives of millions of afghans. in a special project. we tell the stories of people effected directly by the long running battle in ghosts of war. i was in our 1st report, 53 year old of moses. i'm beg, lived in britain, works for a prisoner rights organization. and doesn't look like somebody who has lived the experience of america is worst prison practices, but he knows about them all too. well. 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 the room in may
7:03 pm
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. either you're with us or you're with the enemy. there is no in between and that doctors still stay on the line. i think it's quite clear to me that the united states respond to the terrible acts of non 11th 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. you know, who knows if anybody prepared to hand you over to contact, to talk to you. you know, i live the pakistanis and the bill of rights and i'm my parents and i'm a deal national. they had to deal with any legal process.
7:04 pm
i was held 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 gonna 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 so. i always a few bad apples and isolated incidents one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice to lead this place, a pity mize, what the united states was doing in afghanistan,
7:05 pm
they were bringing people to this torture site. afghans ordering 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 this is 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 . several of us was sent to guantanamo including several taliban members who now heads of various departments in the act and government were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten with spat upon. we were humiliated photographs, and 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 name,
7:06 pm
tortured the way with a picture of my children in front of me and asked me where do you think they are? now what do you think happens in 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 the title, 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 prison. ah, ah, so this is look in 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 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,
7:07 pm
it's actually made it worse to look at the calendar and start the count down 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, they had to be vetted uncensored by the us censorship. my daughter who was 6 at the time, wrote a poem, 12345 was like what the official life. and they redacted that because they said that has numbers in a numbers could mean some sort of a code. so it was that kind of nonsensical reduction disconnecting from the idea of being a father, ironically and sadly, but also my own personal faith, my belief in god my reading, the koran and again and expectedly becoming friends with several of the american soldiers who would bring me little snippets of information. sometime next week in a chocolate, sometime next week, and a dvd player and show me
7:08 pm
a film deluxe of humanity that i have never forgotten to despair. 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, i've spoken to have 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
7:09 pm
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 assistance to the people who understand it's got in a position to negotiate those conditions. it has, it has been an aggressive the taliban already made gestures towards russia to its china, towards iran, to its pockets dawned with indonesia, with like states and britain in particular. i think proceeding very upset because
7:10 pm
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 sense. no, with britain or america, you've really got to find a way for him. he will have further special reports throughout the week speaking to those whose lives were shattered by the us war on terror. in the meantime, video has emerge of us soldiers firing into the air and ground add couple international airport in late august, as crowds of desperate afghans tried to force their way onto the airfield and full of was posted by us marine guarding the airport. it depicts service members throwing smoke grenades, firing warning shots,
7:11 pm
and pointing their weapons of civilians with women and children among them. american officials earlier confirmed that warning shops had indeed been fired as a means of crowd control. couple airport is now devoid of western troops and under taliban control, the u. s. military tried to destroy whatever equipment they could before leaving, which can also be seen in the marines. video. our correspond what i got to have report stuff from the airport. these place looks very different to what we arrived 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 ammunition that was left behind by us and allied forces as they retreated as above while there was of it this tool as a person that is still being cleaned up but as i say, there's a lot of work to do these evacuation that the pentagon called the largest and most
7:12 pm
complex in history left a whole lot of trash behind trash wreckage. and they, bree the taliban command, that tells us they destroyed 95 percent of the equipment, stuff, and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military or for us are destroyed 100 percent. we asked to see the airport and once crammed into the back of a pickup truck, we got our wish. it was like a movie set, 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 blocks removed and smashed, apparently with a sledge hammer. anything the taliban or even afghans could use the americans
7:13 pm
destroyed and what they couldn't bring themselves to destroy. they let use of the, the dog crate. the cause such a lot. you have yet many of the gods behind by the american booth. but they weren't locked in crates as we had be led to believe they what they will let you at the dentist, someone before the fire us troops have taken someone, had opened all the crates and left them with, with food on line animal activists of mobilized in the thousands, their incense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban, the americans live the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teams are officials called the in charge of the docs and to dave,
7:14 pm
they came to the port and they're trying to collect the docks and they are trying to in 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, stuck 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 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 this actually, american was there. we have got damage in the fax center. 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
7:15 pm
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 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. or i'd get you
7:16 pm
a couple of guidance done. but some european countries refusing to accept to african refugees. a recent joint statement from the eu has pledged 300000000 euros to help the nations that border afghanistan deal with the flow of newcomers. over the past few days, thousands of african refugees have entered pakistan, setting up a makeshift camp near one border crossing, the country is already home to about one and a half 1000000 afghans and islam abroad has recently announced it's closing the crossing due to sheer volume of people arriving don quarter 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 having flashbacks of the 2015 migration crisis. oh,
7:17 pm
based on message known to you and its members 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 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
7:18 pm
full capacity around in pakistan for example. so 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 oral 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 pipes, tons of his sources because the international community is not coming and it has also created social nomic problems in the past for decades. same is true about it on the main question is why these refugees are to go to you don, are focused on only why not the rest of the world,
7:19 pm
especially the developed war 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 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 are counties currently living in iran. so iran is already hosting 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 a person, iraqi,
7:20 pm
jeez, 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 project 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 mess it left behind. they have meddled with janice that they have ruined their security and they left the atkins unstable. they left them in
7:21 pm
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 the u. s. 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. in other news tonight, all of people have died in new york and new jersey as a severe storm. ida, continue to wreak havoc in the u. s. at its peak in recent days, it was one of the strongest hurricanes in american history. this truck southern regions of the u. s. and now is continuing its way across the northeast flooding neighborhoods, causing widespread power outages and destruction. new york and new jersey,
7:22 pm
i've already declared a state of emergency while it is being reported, the tornadoes have also the same. yeah. and now it is at time to get back on board a cruise with a different icebergs and arctic animals are all part of today's report from a russian nuclear iceberg, taking our correspondence to the north pole, braving the cold. once again, here's our t's consumption rosco. 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. nothing fancy, but it has everything we need. so we walk around the ship, i see radiation doesn't mean i could be exposed to radiation. right, so i'm writing more like
7:23 pm
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, it's the rudder, as i understand through a 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 of course. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? when you say axiom of the bill, that's quite an auto pilot. auto pilot is what keeps an aircraft in 3 dimensions. whereas on a ship, it's just to show up. and then if i turn the rudder or that was, 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 the large pistons in motion, which turns the ship left. we're right. the we were on the bridge interviewing the
7:24 pm
captain and we were lucky enough to side our 1st arctic iceberg. let me show you this. back to the day. icebergs aren't 100 percent white, they have these beautiful to watch shape. they also come in handy for local birds. and habitable icebergs, i can tell there are birds on sea birds which rest in the water. they use any surface that they find it is 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 this dance, we're approaching the edge of the world. now the most dangerous part of our journey begins. if something happens,
7:25 pm
it will take days for someone to come rescue us from now on. we can count only in ourselves and our captain the well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the ice. everything trembling definitely can't emitting the ship, hit the i mean it's huge blades on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are. they're part board for sailors that are constantly working underneath that. you might think that an icebreaker, ramsey, i,
7:26 pm
but it actually rides upon it 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 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's close enough as soon as we had passed through in a few minutes 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, veteran polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on. the common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the earth.
7:27 pm
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 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 i share the same viewpoint. it's fine to also think that 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? well, don't be fooled by his adorable look. a polar bear will go after anything that's
7:28 pm
moving. if it's there time, it's midnight. but look how bright it is. for me, we are on top of the work to try and coming together and i'm going that does it for the news this i'll be back in about 32 minutes of the not looks there with us. so to international ah, the families that mark mark new function, you got to get some more. yeah. worried miller
7:29 pm
definition to another do domain. john got i've got that limit and i wanted them to be like that. you don't know the worst part about the less about i've been up there for me and long when i would show the wrong. why don't i just don't yes, to fill out the thing because after an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart and we
7:30 pm
choose to look for common ground. i don't remember the $945.00 just a month after the war ended. ah, the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9. select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. the u. s. s. was devastated by wal united states last about 400000 people had the brits last less than the americans. and the soviets suffered 27000000 deaths. me.
