the the i was begging to go to one because what i witnessed was so destructive, they say i have gone to sleep coming up. this are the 1st of our in depth reports into the victims of america's brutal war on terror following us withdrawal from afghanistan. one cannibal detainees was on big chairs, the corps he suffered, they had a sound, a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife, tortured a wave picture of my children in front of me. off the way, do you think they are now?

what do you think happened to me took your way. we have access to capital airport just days after it was abandoned by western troops to the terminal and equipment shattered and destroyed during the u. s. retreat full of the helicopters and there are a lot of them that were banned in the was to really various various electrical blocks remove and then you look into, by its way out of another potential migrant crisis with plans to pay off. dennis stands neighbors, hundreds of millions of euros to house and such refugees. ah, testing lab direct from our studios and moscow, this is our team to national. i'm john thomas. glad to have with us. right, with the us out of afghanistan,

washington is now set to review the failings of its rushed and chaotic evacuation, and our team is set to scrutinize our her if it impact that the occupation have on the lives of millions of afghanistan's in a special report. we tell the stories of people affected directly by the long running battle in ghosts afore i now 1st report 53 year old mose, i'm beg, believe in he lives in britain and works for a prisoner rights organization. and does not look like somebody who has lived the experience of america, the worst president practices, but he knows about them all too well. i had to stop telling myself that i'm a father, that i am a son. i'm a husband, that i'm a human being. i started to pull myself what i had been told that i was,

and that with my number 558, that was my number and going in were 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 so the tortured you're with us. are you with the enemy? there is 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 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, you know, who knows?

if anybody's prepared to hand you over to contact the court, you know, i live the pakistanis and to be overwrite, and i'm my parents in boston. i'm a deal national. they had to deal with americans 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 do so. 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 me and i did, states was doing in afghanistan. they were bringing people to this torture sight 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 one tunnel because what i've seen in witness in background was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. oh, i. several of us was 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, they found 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 them the night and took your way? and of course, what they wanted me to do was try and 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 that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days turn 2

weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realized that it was just too tall. 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 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 inexpensively becoming friends with several of the american

soldiers who would bring me little snippets of inclination sometime next week in a chocolate sometime next week. and a dvd player and show me a film deluxe of humanity that i have never forgotten to despair. and i think i left to go on time to move, 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 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 a senate report on torture, but not a single person was ever bought for charges for these times. recently i gave evidence international criminal court for their investigations of abuses by americans. enough that they would investigate to the united states, the african national army, and the taliban. the only ones who responded by threatening to 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 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 aggressor. the taliban already made gestures towards russia towards china, towards the iran to its pockets. dawn with indonesia would be like states and britain in particular. i think that feeling very upset because this is a defeat that's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and not 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. got in touch with the britain or america you've really got to find a way forward and we will have it. so they're special reports throughout the week speaking to those whose lives were shattered by the us war on terror. in the meantime, video has emerged of us soldiers firing into the air and ground at cobble nation international airport in late august and crowds of desperate afghans tried to force

their way onto the airfield. the footage was posted by u. s. marine guarding the airport depicts service members throwing smoke grenades and firing warning shots and pointing their weapons at civilians with women and children among them. american officials earlier confirmed that one in shots had been fired by a means of crowning crowd control. now, couple airport is devoid of western troops and under telephone control. and the u. s. military tried to destroy whatever equipment they could before leaving, which can also be seen in the marines video. our correspondent, my god, you 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 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 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 calls the largest and most complex in history left a whole lot of trash behind trash wreckage. and they, bree the taliban command, that tells us they destroyed 95 percent of the equipment, stuff, and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military or for us are destroyed 100 percent. we asked the she 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 the, the dog crate the cause such as the on lot. we have the yet many of the dog lives behind by american boot. 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 someone, had opened all the crates and left them with, with food, online 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, the americans lift the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens or officials called the in charge of those dogs. and today 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 they are safe. these may be just what the taliban needs. a p r stuck collect the dogs and the move with the activists and reap the humanitarian glory. alternatively, they may have enough on their plate. she, the americans didn't just the sure the helicopters and vehicles, they trashed much more than that. when i read the morning to the airport, so i saw a lot of distractions here. many things who are distraught. i don't know who did this, actually, american was there. we have got damage in the road on faction. 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 during the evacuation, they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was on the way. this is passport control at capitol international airport. this is the states that it was left in after the evacuation was complete for some reason, other than destroying all 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 lou to the vending machines. why? 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. or i'd get you. a couple of gotten started with some european countries refusing to accept to african refugees of recent joint statement from the e. u has pledged 300000000 euros to help nations that border afghanistan deal with the flow of newcomers. now over the past few days, thousands of african refugees have entered pakistan. setting up a make shift camp near one border crossing. the country is already home to about one and a half 1000000 afghans and islam about has recently announced it is closing the crossing due to the sheer volume of people arriving. don quarter takes a closer look at other migrant crisis in 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, the oh, based message known to you and its 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 app. dana stands 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 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 livelihoods 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, 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 g is what needs to be understood. it's no wonder as lama bod is not looking for anymore or our focus on. we're not support. massive influx of refugees to purchase order d 5. and he 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 part 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 world, especially the developed war or the european union are the united 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 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 year on is going to be very problematic for the government. you could 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 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. another news tonight, 11 people have died in new do new york and new jersey as a severe storm. ida continued to wreak havoc in the u. s. at its peak in recent

days. it was one of the strongest hurricanes in american history, is chuck southern parts of the us and is now 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 to tornadoes. i've also read through parts of pennsylvania and maryland. and edward snowden has slammed a apple for what he believes to be an encroachment on privacy, which he says could lead to governments trawling through your phone. us tech giant says it wants to scan content on mobiles and in efforts to crack down on child pornography. but the u. s. b s. a whistleblower warns that once it starts to fish for such flies, it opens the doors for governments to search for other behavior deemed to criminal

instead of a private company in their bibles, in the cloud on their systems. now, on your home, they take it away that separation between what they own and what you all know, they're telling your device what took what they say. you can't have this on your if 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. in an interview with russian media snowdon also discussed the results of the u. s. intervention in afghanistan and 1st into laughter. when asked whether he think he had, he would win the nobel peace prize. snowden has been nominated with julian sanchez, chelsea manning for the 2021 accolade. you can breathe more about it at r t dot com. now it is time to get back on board a cruise with

a difference. icebergs and arctic animals are all part of today's report from a russian nuclear icebreaker, taking our correspondence to the north pole, bringing the cold once again. here's ortiz constantine roscoe. previously, we're departing from the mascot, the whole board of worlds only nuclear ice breaker fleet. this ship is huge. i mean it's basically like a rebuilding left step in dark habit. nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. walk around the ship. i see radiation doesn't mean i could be exposed to radiation. correct barbara anymore. so 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 is bite on the bridge whilst during the mighty vast

forward at the cliff. it's a rudder, as i understand through a move through all more than you can effectively call the ship's wheel, the rudder. and it has automatic steering, which holds the ship's course, 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 just a new course. the vessel will turn in just to a new steady cause. and this is what happens on a lower deck every time the captain adjust the course. the helm sets these large pistons in motion, which turns the ship left. we're right. we were on the bridge interviewing 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. why they have these beautiful took washing. they also come in handy for local birds. and habitable icebergs. i can tell, there are birds on the site, they see birds which rest in the water. they use any surface that they find attractive, 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 the town, 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

the, the well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers allowing for the ice trembling camp when the ship hits the i see this huge blaze on the deck. let's get a closer look. they are their part or, or bail or that are constantly working on reduce eventually you might think that an ice breaker ramsey, i wouldn't actually ride the potter 1st and then crushes down word with all the mine, and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help the chopped the into small pieces, paving the way forward watching the ship,

break the arts and push dry and trying to decide as mesmerized. it's weirdly both calming and intimidating at the same time. have a look at this. the wide path led by the ice breaker is close enough. as soon as we pass through in a few minutes, or maybe our, 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. however, the temperature isn't extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me, mandarin polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on the prison. it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spots on the earth. it's completely false. the north pole is the middle of an ocean. the ocean is a kind of heat storage and as it allows temperature spike frequently at the north pole, it's warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or whoever. it means the poll 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. soft scientists to also with this process is not a reversible in its 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 closed 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 will 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 timing together and i'm going to do this for me. this are, i will be back to your headlines in 30 minutes. this is our to international. ah, ah, the join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me.
