in let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witnessed was so destructive to say i haven't gone to sleep coming up this hour. the 1st of our in depth reports into the victims of america's brutal war on terror . pulling the west withdrawal from afghanistan when we're talking about detainees. most, i'm a big chairs. this whores, the suffering. they had a found a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife, who tortured their way with just my children in front of me and also where you can see on. now what do you think happened to him? took your way. we get access to couple airport 2 days after it was abandoned by

western troops, terminal and equipment shattered and destroyed during us retreat and all the helicopters. and there are a lot of them that were banded. the was to be caught various various electrical blocks removed. and you looked into by its way out of another potential migrant crisis with plans to pay off gala sams neighbors. hundreds of millions of euros to houses such refugees ah, broadcasting live, direct my studios and moscow. this is the rti international. i'm john thomas is certainly glad to have you with us. now with the us out of afghanistan, washington is now set to review the feelings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation.

and r t is said to scrutinize the perfect impact that the occupation had on the lives of millions of afghans in a special project. we tell the stories of people affected directly by the long running battle in ghosts of war. i ah, in our 1st report, 53 year old mose, i'm beg, lives in britain, works for a prisoner rights organization and doesn't look like somebody who has lived the experience of america's worst prison practices. but he knows about them all too well. i had to stop telling myself that i am a father that i am a son. i'm a husband that i'm a human being. i started to call myself what i had been told that i was, and that was my number 558. that was my number and going

in was in may 2000. 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 further. tortured with us. are you with the enemy? there is no in between. and that doctrine still stand ah, in. i think it's quite clear to meet 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 pick from me. it wasn't just me. they picked on everyone who knows. if anybody prepared to hand you over to country to talk to you. you know, i live the pen sundays and the bill of rights and i'm my parents from boston. i'm

a deal national. they handed me over to the masters without any legal process before 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 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 the boys, a few bad apples and isolated incidents one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice.

for me, this place, i pity my what the united states was doing in afghanistan. 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 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 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, 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. 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 waived the picture 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 cosign a confession that i was a member of al qaeda, which i was not. and this was, i'd say, send it, i got it. i think i got it's 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 court. i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it would be easier. but when the days turn it 2 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 the 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, i wrote a poem, 12345. once i caught official life and they redacted that because they said that has numbers and 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 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 inclination. sometimes if we can chocolate. sometime

maybe we can a dvd player and show me a film deluxe of humanity that i have never forgotten to this but. 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 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 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 enough. they would investigate to the united states, the national army, and the caliber, the only ones who responded by threatening the international criminal court would be 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 us. i think the united states of america needs to step back. if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people who understand it's not in a position to negotiate those conditions, it has, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures to russia to its china, to the wrong,

to its 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 african people. it's no good background, especially with the britain or america you've really got to find a way forward. and we will have further special points throughout the week. speaking to those whose were shattered by the us war on terror. in the meantime, video has emerged us soldiers firing into the air and grounded couple international airport in late august as crowds of desperate afghans tried to force their way on to the airfield. 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 on the marines video. our senior correspondent ragowski have reports now from the airport. these place looks very different to what we arrived to during the evacuation that cleaning the plagues up. there's set enormous amount of work to do what with all the vehicles, all the armament tool, 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 calls the largest and most complex in history, left a whole lot of trash behind trash wreckage and they brie the taliban command, that tells us they're 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 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 loose. here are the, the dog crate. the cause such as the on lot, you have the yes, many of the dogs lives behind by american booth,

but they were locked in crates as we had be led to believe they will let you at the dentist, someone before. the final us troops that take someone had opened all the crates and left them with, with whom online animal activists have 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, the americans live the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teams on our office called the in charge of those dogs. and to dave, they came to the board 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 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 distractions here. many things were destroyed. i don't know who did this. actually, america was there. we have got damage and the road on faction. you can see 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 abandoned during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was underway. 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 store much of the airport civilian infrastructure, computers, x rays, cameras, even arrival and departure screens. here they're saying it was the americans who cut the power cables knocked over the monitors, smashed windows and kicked in doors. even looted the big machines. why? that's boredom. bats hate. you don't end the 20 year war and even a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of spite more i'd get you a couple of gotten this done with some european countries refusing to accept african refugees. a recent joint statement from the e u 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 a bob has recently announced it is closing the crossing due to the sheer volume of people arriving done quarter takes a closer look at another migraine 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 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 and transmit support to 3rd countries. in particular, the neighbor and in transit countries housed 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, saw me, your country is like austria, poland, and hungary have flat out, refused to accept any new migrants. while germany has sent its foreign minister, hika 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 afghans last year with the latter accepting nearly $1500000.00 new asylum seekers to push to the capacity. you know,

can we absorb more? if it is what needs to be understood, it's no wonder as lama bod is not looking for anymore or focus on or not support. massive influx of refuses to focus on 35. and he have millions of refugees. this is burden on by some of the sources because the international community is dark port gummy, and it has also created social nomic problems and through the past 4 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 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. our county is 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 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 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 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. in other news tonight, 11 people have died in new york and new jersey as a severe storm. ida continued to recal it in the us all at its peak in recent days. it was one of the strongest hurricanes in american history. is truck southern parts 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 have already declared a state of emergency while it is being reported. tornadoes have also read through parts of india and maryland. and edward snowden has slammed apple for what he believes to be in for encroachment on privacy,

which he says could lead to government trawling through your phone. the u. s. tech giant says it wants to scan content on mobiles in an effort to crack down on child pornography, but the se whistleblower once. and once it starts to fish for such flies, it opens the door for governments to search for other behavior deemed to criminal. instead of a private company in their bibles, in the well on their systems, now they're doing on your phone, they take it away that separation between what they owe and what you all know, they're telling your device what to what they say. you can't have this file on your phone and we develop the system to detecting they decide in the future. what kind of files will be searched for? it's no longer company question. it's a good question ah,

in an interview with russian who's in an interview with russian media and snowden, also discussed the results of the u. s. intervention in afghanistan and burst into laughter when asked whether he thinks he would win the nobel peace prize. snowden has been nominated with julian sanchez and chelsea manning for the 2021 accurate. you can read more about it at r t dot com. now it is back to get on board a cruise with the difference. icebergs and arctic animals are all part of today's report from a russian nuclear icebreaker, taking our correspondence to the north pole, proving the cold once again. here's constantine or rush of previously, or departing from the city of more mascot, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker fleet. this shit is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding the left step and dark habit. nothing fancy,

but it has everything we need. so we walk around the ship i c radio doesn't mean that could be exposed to radiation. all 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 a rudder, as i understand through a move through all the more than you can effectively call the ship's wheel, the rudder. and it has automatic steering, which holds the ship's course for the sum of course. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? nice axiom of the bill. that's quite an auto pilot. auto pilot is what keeps an aircraft in 3 dimensions. whereas on a ship, it's just to show up. and then if i turn the rudder or that was,

it was assisting 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 there 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 wash sheet. 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. frank 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 or in the northernmost

part of russia, and a last piece of land on the way to the north hall. so in advance, we're approaching the edge of the world. 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 will. this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the trembling of camp admitting when the ship hits the ice

seated huge. blaze on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are their part bored for bail or that are constantly working underneath the vessel. my things added ice breaker ramsey, i what it actually rides upon it 1st and then crushes downward with all the might. and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help chop the into small pieces, painting the way forward, watching the ship, break the ards, 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 left 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 ship start to cover with ice as we get closer to the north pole.

however, the temperature is an extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me, battery 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 poles. the north pole is the middle of an ocean. the ocean does it kind of have 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. but i share the same viewpoint is fine to also think with this process is not a reversible in nature. the anthropogenic factor is the main way. what it means is

that imagine for a 2nd, we'll switch to green energy and stop reducing c o 2 in the atmosphere over factories a close. and you think this will suddenly, i don't know why it's 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 very time, it's midnight. but look how bright it is. it looks to me. we are on top of the world to try coming together. m, as in tom, i'm going in it as a for me this, i'll be back in about 30 minutes of the lecture news. this is art international, say with the

next financial survival guide. daisy, let's learn about fill out. let's say i'm a and your i'm grief on base of the site. walk 3 prod. thank you for helping ah, enjoy. 6 that right fell out that way. the war on drugs nodded as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the wonder? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time the fight against drugs took a tragic. he told us that andrew was competent. sean form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in.
