came for the ah, the ah headlining this jo biden's approval rating drops to the lowest in his presidency after the k all to withdraw from afghanistan. but the administration sticking to the belief that some good payoff can still ship public opinion away from the object failure to fill out from cobbles. also having a wake up cold for america's allies with probably use diplomats nowadays. they can't rely on the us. the military support and the block needs its own army. in a shop drop in organ transplants worldwide survey says that in the get k, a load that have been hundreds more deaths among patients than before the pandemic

. ah . good to have you with this friday afternoon at 2 here in moscow. my name is connie bry, welcome to you. we'll use 1st then to some troubling numbers for mr. biting the president in the us is hitting new loads at home with any 43 percent of americans approving of his performance. as, according to a recent national poll, is also his worst such rating since he started the job down 6 percentage points following the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, the vast majority of americans view the war as a failure. now for the administration, another operation stops to whenever hearts and minds at home and swayed people. but it wasn't that bad. economist simon, right, gives us his take on it. areas then the law us soldier to leave afghanistan, major general chris donahue, of the 2nd one soon to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or jay to

thinking who nice thing i think is, is definitely going to be a movie because now the robot of rocca, installing has been lost by the u. s. than it bodies real batter within the battery to make light. and i turn the u. s. actually one. well, maybe not one, not miracle workers, but make it look they didn't lose quite so badly. exhibit one is in fact the aforementioned major general chris donahue. there is no way that this picture here was serendipity, his payoff to it, and heroic green. send it out into the world. the media will govern it without question. say stuff like this. the last american soldier to leave afghanistan, you noted to me that the last american troops left can a stand. i mean, come on. you think this is really bizarre, us don't, you're not gonna. we will not forgive. we will not forget.

we will hunt you down to make you pay that angry old uncle joe biden. they're talking about this new all this long. his case ought to be confused with k pop or special k ordered as strikes for whenever they pop on what it might be. hard to believe, given their general accuracy for their joints, you still need special forces on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game. there is no way to answer the last few as sojourn african installment p. o. shaping history is just sending out an image off, joe biden, according to voices and his last phone call to ask our president, gone a before couple fell and gone. the data runner the american president, couldn't run anyone. if he tried, said there was a need, whether it's true or not, there is a need to project a different mixture. it's helpful. so i'm not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or transcripts of phone calls. so yeah,

it's accurate. we're well into the jo biden's words, the project at that age, which is hard when the pictures are clear, was this one for everyone to see you thought to get really questionable stuff. 5 extraordinary success in this mission was due to the incredible skill. bravely and suffer. scourge of united states military praise. extraordinary success. the heavy lifting they're boys, johnson is going in this direction. what we're saying is that guns don canton look back into becoming a breeding ground of terror canister. a cut become a narco state. the girls have got to be educated up to the age of 18 because as the start to balk with, hall to cell is anything like when they get written western nations, they're gonna start sending out liberal statements instead of the un security

council. the security council was voting on a resolution meant as a message for the taliban that the world is watching, also included stuff like telling the van to uphold human rights and fight terrorism . invade sure they're listening at this point. china, russia abstained in the vote because we can see in this an attempt to shift the blame for the failure to collapse after 20 years of the presence of the united states and their allies in the region onto the taliban. and all the countries in the region that will have to deal with the results of the piano opportunity. diplomatic gland standing, flashing the liberal just to show off to you to mess up a country and got it. one of the stories then not advertising. well, this one we're learning details of a secret agreement, stunning details between the taliban and the u. s. military that deal with the us military. julie asking with ton of mostly affect any stranded americans during the

evacuation of combo. bring them gently to the written m i 6 by the pound key. now talking to the taliban to awesome. not to let any terry setup camp. there wasn't that the didn't threatening the taliban at the u. n. and then asking for their help on the ground and getting caught trying to rewrite reality. not a good look of the 2 decades about that stuff doesn't make the hollywood version. i've always hundreds of american citizens and afghans with visas, left stranded in afghanistan, washington's promising to look at all possible options to not leave them there permanently. and looking out for its own people isn't the only thing for us as boston as 20 years and africana stem the who's

the the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. canada and isis k still exist in our growing and afghan stand, and eventually they acquire these weapons. ah, the majority of every member behind me is a veteran. we now have americans stuck in afghan at the taliban in charge with mo, more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and

a border that is open me the humanitarian catastrophe. loons. in afghanistan, almost half the population need humanitarian assistance. one and 3. don't know where their next meal will come from. now that the administration is facing harsh criticism over the i've got this down pull out, the republican party appears poised to gain on biden's misfortune in the upcoming mid term elections, explaining that for his next he is caleb morgan. more than a 100 americans left behind that afghan, a stan, 13 soldiers killed in a bombing. the chaotic pull out of afghanistan has turned into a major weapon for republicans to use against the biden administration as they roll toward the 2020 to mid term election team. trump has even started calling joe biden . the surrender and chief afghanistan cannot be as

a terrorist for terrorism, we get everybody out. dozens, and dozens of us went to the airport and they never opened. it hasn't failed. it reason failure? what the failure looked like afghanistan. now seems to be the reason the republicans are now calling for impeachment we call upon most somberly the resignation of this president joe biden. if we leave any americans behind, if we leave thousands of those afghans who thought along our side behind bravely, joe biden deserves to be in peach for a higher crime and misdemeanor of dereliction of duty. republicans in congress have to get on board with this process, build the case, start doing the work, and figure out how to get this done and impeach joe by mouth. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, so the impeachment is not on the table,

but he couldn't hide the fact that some democrats are starting to get hot under the collar. well, look, the president is not going to be removed from office. it's a democratic house, narrowly democratic senate, have a feeling, the american people didn't think they voted for this government. it's grosser expression. we fill in it, i think given some of the democrats affiliate, this goes beyond capitol hill. divisions of spread to ordinary citizens, half of americans, including one 3rd of democrats, now say that joe biden should resign over the afghanistan debacle. though 47 percent say his replacement comma le harris wouldn't fair, much better. one restaurant owner in florida has actually gone as far as banning biden's supporters from her diner. she says the sign stays up in her window until every american is out of afghanistan. if you voted for and continued to support and stand behind the breathless, inept and corrupt administration currently inhabiting the white house that is

complicit in the death of all the service men and women in afghanistan, please take a business elsewhere. yes, the us public has long favorite pulling out of afghanistan the way joe biden did it blew up in his face. now we've got republicans saying that he abandoned americans and made the country look weak and that has intensified divisions in the country. over all the white house is a pretty weak spot with the country looking on and disapproval. there just aren't people that are united over anything these days. they're divided over war. they're divided over response to the corona virus. they're divided over the economy. the divisiveness in america causes people not to reflect on what really makes sense. and instead to join in this blame game of right versus left, which leads to know which doesn't lead to actual illumination of the issues and thoughtful responses. the rift between the american people is just going to wide

and wide and wide and, and the possibility for civil dialogue between the 2 is going to become harder and harder. and that's why it's crucial for those of us who don't fall into either one of those, can make a point of pointing out how all of the politicians are wrong and how this was never supposed to be about republican versus democratic reality. as this is the american people for the very small handful of incredibly powerful people that run washington d. c. a. well, joe biden tries to load the canister mission as a great success. the european union is apparently taking it as a wakeup call. that's expose holes in the blocks defense capabilities, w diplomat say they should no longer depend on america's military support. and has shown that the deficiencies, you know, the danger on me need to increase our capacity to be able to act autonomously when and where necessary. and not to be dependent on the charges made by others. one idea is emerging strongly, the issue needs its own only. it's not new,

but what many now feel is that the u. s. isn't unreliable partner and this is one idea. gaining traction me to the home i go, the u. s. is tired and doesn't want to be the guardian of the world anymore. so last for the year war enough goes done. is a lie. the americans lied to the people, died in the european union, must improve europe's defense as a feeler, inside nato. fine it is. we have to know the limits or, or capacities and to very carefully analyze the you possibilities, though with voices only echoed what some you need being saying. now there is a deep sense that you must find a way to have more or told me which could mean no more cozying up to the us. we do not need to know the search, just politically veined to breast that you must twice for greater decision making

to autonomy and greater capacity for action throughout. we must reflect openly and clear on a new stage in collective security and defense ability. while there might be whispers over in you, all, you even a common defense policy. how likely is it? well, coverage tool in brussels have been focused on mere change, rapid reaction force, intervening, international crises, previous efforts controlling the military might have ended in failure. the

reality of bringing this idea to fruition is even more complicated than not a number of men to state skeptical of such plans. there are concerns that in you military force would effectively duplicate the work already carried out by nito, and that this could be the strain relation with us. the ear is not a credible substitute for what nature represents. you will not see any appetite for the european army amongst member states. and some defense experts said to remove in you all me is a known starter for an operation such as the recreation from cooper to such a large, viscous organization as the used to slow for that countries must join forces in opportunity collisions. oh thing that is that i got a song was a wake up call to the new and it's found itself lacking in military friends and

military mind. martin said that it was fantastic, least successful evacuation, and you have bought all saying no, it was a disaster. that's why they say now we should have a force that we can project the project across the book. but to go where they can. i mean, america is, is falling back behind its own borders. they become isolationists to get both republicans and democrats. you fuchs, and the european governments feel that they're being let down by america in this, that bite and one much too fast. and so they, they wonder if natal is still a good idea. it's a, it's a real basic question that they're looking at. is nato still alive? so much better across the channel, even relations between to give k and the us seem to event at a critical moment with british prime minister boris johnson. blaming washington for

the fiasco in afghanistan, saying the taliban, brutal suite, the power could have been predicted much earlier. it's been clear for many months that the situation could go very fast and that was being part of the the intelligence briefing, i think once people felt in that kind of so once the people in the army felt that they were no longer going to be getting that american cover, then i think the logic for them became really to, to in that their resistance and say things did go fast era. this statement reflects something of a you turn on the usual british noises on this. so to unpack some of it, let's go live now to our correspondent, isa, alley, and london. hi there, he said, why the shift now? well, what we've been seeing, of course, with those chaotic scenes of that disorderly withdrawal and retreat from afghanistan by the western forces by nato, is essentially a game of pointing fingers and

a blame game as people scuttle to free themselves of any responsibility or not include putting strains between the u. s. and the u. k. that so called special relationship, we've had so much about over the past decades now again, once more on the strain and of course previously much of the blame of that was put down to donald trump's own erotic behavior. but now there's a new president who's been accused of not consulting with his british allies, not even taking bars thompson's calls off to the fall of a couple to the taliban. and as for joe biden, him self saying himself, but perhaps the intelligence briefings of the white house were receiving didn't tell them or show them that there was an anticipation of the city falling as quickly as it did. i stand squarely behind my decision. truth is, this did on fall more quickly than we had anticipated that will be,

those will be pointing to the fact that the use, the united states claims are trailing the army, the afghan army. and that they decided essentially without much resistance or any resistance at all to seed the city to the forces from the taliban. now of course, we know that it's quite similar for the british as well. they were undertaking some efforts to train the army and they to, according to the foreign secretary, did an anticipated things to go south so quickly or essential composition was given the true true. by the end of august you would see a steady deterioration from that point. and that it was, unlike jacob would fall this year, the central assessment remained until late that the deterioration would be

increment pool. now we've also been hearing the defense secretary ben wallace speaking a, giving an interview to a magazine here in the u. k. and again, putting real strain on not so could relationship the so called special relationship, saying that the behavior of the united states, the way that they with drew, was not becoming of a superpower. it was not the behavior of a superpower. and again, this is all just putting extra strain on those ties. a super po that is also not preferred to stick at something, isn't probably superpower either. it is certainly not a global force, it's just a big power. now of course, there are some counter arguments to that defenders of joe biden in washington and perhaps on this side of the atlantic as well would point to the fact that after 20 years, nato was unable to defeat the resistance put out by africans. and of course by the taliban essentially they have 2 choices, continue forever,

war or to withdraw. and essentially, joe biden made the decision that forever war in the money being spent on it could be spent better elsewhere for now, those seems a special relationships entity. it's complicated face. okay, fit our in westminster. sally, thanks for that change of topic. now there's been a stabbing attack at a supermarket in new zealand. 6 people were injured in oakland, which officials said was an act of terror witnesses of described while they saw the 2 ladies. what ladies, who probably just went sort of stepping usually allow for a lower but, and then i just realized that, oh my god, i have to run a lot of people run up to me says just one, just one. there's a guy, the stabbing of the one. and then i walked to the next thought and i saw a lady flag on the floor and then we had about like 6 or 7 gunshots. and everyone just kind of freaked out. everyone ran into the pharmacy of 3 of the 6 people injured or in

a critical condition right now. the attack happened at around 2 40 pm local time on friday was reportedly carried out by us for lanka, national, who had been on the security threat list since 2016. he was shot dead by police shortly after grabbing a knife of a shelf in a supermarket and starting the stopping rampage. he was previously arrested for planning an attack after which he was closely monitored. new zealand prime minister, you send to arden said that the man was inspired by isis and that he was a violent extremist, a violent extremist undertook a terrorist attack on innocent, easy islanders. it was senseless. and i'm so sorry it happened. okay, let's talk to david low, an expert terrorism and security also former police officer david, welcome back to l t. a times like this is we often hear when there's been a suspect, who's been on a watchlist, who then carries out an attack. those questions get out, did the police do enough from what you've seen? how would you assess the police, his actions here?

i think it's a very, very difficult situation. we have a similar one in the u. k. the of the stress from high street where an individual was 24 hours surveillance on and you look at the incident and it was a 62nd attack. no, i know really look about a short time, but she was the damage that can happen with a sharpie. blade instrument but you know, it's very, very difficult to keep that surveillance where you don't give away that, you know, keeping someone on disability. and so it's not fine line, but you see a very short time the damage that happened with those casualties that we've seen through in critical condition. but it's very hard. i think for me to put any blame at all on the police. i think they try what they can do, but it shows you how risk. this is when you're watching someone who is even be the i think one of the other issues with new zealanders, they don't how similar offenses we do in the likes of

u. k. canada and so on with terrorism, one could have been planning to tell you when you were looking at earlier this year . well, they don't have legislation. so that's a difficult jumping to going to have to look at the legislation as well as the police, the prime minister, stress that it was not an act of faith. what happened but an individual who carried out the attack? what do you think it's emboldened for her to describe it in those terms? yeah, i mean, if you look at the actual definition and under the suppression, active museum, the definition amongst the causes are political, ideological, or religious. and we tend to see globally, anything that islamic states inspired or even by we see that as a religious cause. but she's right this, this place, this individual would not represent the vast majority of muslims around the world. of course, what i think what is quite interesting is, but again we're seeing is let me state who in spite of these it's to of course,

this is one big issue. certainly from the withdrawal from afghanistan and western forces on western influence with the islamic state in the course of province, islamic state k. as a know, that's one of the things they do they, they inspire after terms of globally. so it might be a coincidence, but you know, timing wise was this individual will never know now because he was, he was told by the news, the police was by a bench. what happened that psych coble airport last week and a few nations have been worried about that. there hadn't a that there might be dorman cells or latent supporters and individuals and sympathizes that might not be triggered by what happened in afghanistan. is that going to be a worry for not just western leaning nations, but any nations that have come to terror attacks? you know, i think globally, because if you look at the islam is cause it's, it's an international terrorist cause and they don't just focus on, on one nation or a couple of nations. and it's pretty global movement. got to look,

for example, is some states at its peak in syria and iraq, how they use the communications, the medium industry, they got their message across globally. and of course they so decentralized parts of it. so, virtually all languages in the world, them, they inspire fighters to come globally towards that district. and that's another issue we could have enough going on with this. let me state k, you know, they have an area in the area of the eastern border with pakistan. you know, they will no doubt want to encourage that individuals who feel like causing trouble over that frustrating campus, but the other factor's good degree of stability. they can get the media ministry running again and there is effective as it was and do these trucks. the inspire give that message to inspire people carry out the charts and just quickly them because nobody wants to be in a police state where anybody who might be there even miles, suspicion is therefore prevented from living their life as a citizen. but equally,

you don't want a terrified community thinking that police haven't quite got on top of everything. if terra alerts on now, if not high in the high medium, let's say what could police do in order to try and avert got a handle on this renewed perceived threat? i think and no doubt it is not the last couple weeks, but in particular is looking at all the intelligence coming in each state where the fortune is great. international cooperation on this looking individuals who are likely to be at risk of doing those risk assessment. but as you said earlier, it's very, very difficult to have everybody completely on this about 24 hours. you've got to go for the grades, it's respond is always want to the can get through, but i'm no doubt it would do that. that discount to tell me about preventing its actual happening. the last thing they want is to detect that means people are being killed. go says the m u. so that's what they will be working out. and we don't them maybe security threat levels might increase based states. for example,

the most substantial attack is likely might go back to savannah is highly likely. so we'll have to wait and see, but there will be great international cooperation on this. okay, good to get your thoughts on this david expert on anti terrorism insecurity. david live in the u. k. thank you. next britain seen a sharp drop in organ transplants since the covert pandemic took hold across the world. studies shown that operations that were down about a quarter last year, which resulted in about $7000.00 people waiting for a transplant. a signal seen in 9 years. around 500 patients died while waiting for treatment. 30 percent more than the previous year. policy director of kidney k u k, told us that it's going to take years to catch up with preteen pandemic numbers. what has been happening because of the pandemic? was that a lot of transplant systems across the whole world had to stop. well, not completely stop,

but how to partially spelt and what not has meant is that there are now more people on the trans flush waiting list, hoping to receive a translator and colleagues in the medical professionals think that it could take up to 3 years for the numbers to be able to fully catch up again. although many countries, the numbers are catching up slightly. a worldwide, the overall drop in transplant activity was 16 percent by the end of last year. research say that there have been concerns around exposing living donors to cove. it in hospitals of care and allowed says the ra, valuable lessons to be learned from the pandemic in different ways. different countries are doing to bring the system's back up again and have in the u. k. i to say that the transplant teens have learned a lot from the to the panoramic and what we learned was things like if you care, if you are part of a transplant team, looking out somebody having a fence, just make up a single team rather than have more people carrying because that reduces the source

of infection. and the other thing that, that i think is, is a company called to learn from is a possibility to move a patient and a donation organ. if one hospital is very busy and it's not able to carry out, no such, we moved to a different part of the countries to have that we saw that happening in a couple of places. and i think we'd like to see more of that kind of flexibility. that you'd use for now the next b, m, x biker, and now mtv hose, t j 11, is dennis minutes plus one in just a moment after which i'll have your next update from r t in moscow. the, the war on drugs noted as a way to combat 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 fighting.
