for us, let me know the the taliban celebrates this, we can taking full control of of ghana, sonata declared, declaring that defeated the remnants of the resistance. but as he found vice, his claim they still hold part so beast and punch in providence convicted rapist suspects on terror watch list to discover the among asylum seekers . ellis, germany from afghanistan, i knew that

a stray lives introduced to new build. it allows authorities to access internet accounts and hot devices of anyone under investigation. we debate the controversial regulations. people can be anonymous on the internet and get up to all sorts of criminal activity, closing all sorts of, you brandy, almost an entire nation is criminal. every want me to suspect. feel the approval. nathan, ah . hello, i'm kevin. are you watching out international live this saturday from a world these age q and moscow? first, the taliban saying they claim to can have absolute control over afghanistan, this weekend, defeating the last pocket of resistance in the eastern pansy province. with thousands of anti taliban fighters have formed a strong hold. but the conflicting news too, and the days of fears fighting the opposition also saying that holding fast

reporting from cobble, a senior correspondent during the night, the city of cavil again erupt. it in almost spontaneous gunfire with a constant rule, most of, of rifles firing. trace around into the air was very reminiscent of what happened when the last of american troops pulled out of terrible airport the taliban, celebrated by firing into the air logged into the night. well, yesterday, as we fill matter up here, we had the characteristic sound a bullock makes as it passes, very close a leaves almost. and at that point we decide that perhaps it's, it's best to remain in doors. and we later learned that as many as 17 people from 7 to 17 depending on various sources, died as a result of that gun flaw. yesterday. but taliban had since forbidden firing into the air in full celebration by its side to say any fight that caught doing so would

have his weapon confiscated and would himself be punished at the celebration was launched. allegedly because of the taliban was celebrating the military offensive against the lost hold. our province against taliban rule in a kindness don punch in the province. we also learned that perhaps celebrations were mature because the resistance, those anti taliban forces stationed in pine valley come out and said that they haven't yet broken that they're still holding out. and the fighting is going the ongoing, but there are losses on both sides. we have heard from contacts today that the taliban hasn't. he's the entirety of the problem with the brother. several strategic heights and several areas of the proven they have launched, attacked from the north, from the south, from the east and west surrounded pines, u r g has also spoken. so those forces fighting against the tide about your body.

and they say that while they will welcome negotiations, they are prepared to fight to the end. just to remind everyone, negotiations stretched on for about a week before this offensive began with had about representatives traveling by trying, trying to establish a peace treaty at peaceful resolution to this standup. but the taliban saying that the negotiations fell through because the demands that the i'm futile about forces were making seem to them to be unreasonable. we had heard reports of them demanding 30 percent of municipals in any new government that is formed here and again. but again, i shared province is the last remaining province enough janice, done. not on the taliban rule, the rest of the country is under direct taliban control and italy uncontested.

despite promising to get every us state funded journalist out of afghanistan, none the less hundreds were left behind. as the last american play departed during the evacuation, some did eventually managed to escape, but only with a help from other governments. because of our men and women in uniform, more than 25000000 afghans are free. have ghana shanisha democracy. i finally want to thank the incredible work of our u. s. military who are doing so much to help bring about a more secure and prosperous and democratic afghanistan for 20 long years. the u. s . has tried to force feed afghan, a stand freedom and democracy. now they have another fiasco to show for it. this decision about that can stand, it is not just about to spout ending an error of major military operations to re make other countries no more than cisco have been trying to civilize the people who live there. although in essence,

it means they have been trying to implement their own system of values and rules in the widest sense of the word. and that included the political structure. so it's the result, nothing but tragedies and losses on both sides sustained by those who did it. i. e, the united states, and even more so by the people who live in afghanistan, the the colossal waste of money time and human life have no doubt amounted to one of america's biggest defeats, but further muddying its reputation or the hundreds of employees of its global media agency, still stranded, bare with their families. last year alone, the usa gm, state funded outlets like the voice of america and radio free europe spent over

$5000000.00 to win the countries hearts and minds. the organization claims to have the ears of over 60 percent of the afghan population as well. no doubt cutting edge propaganda was just as important to washington as state of the art bombs. radio free europe and radio liberty mission is to promote mccrae to fail, use, and institutions by reporting the use in countries where a free press is banned by the government or not fully established. voice of america will serve as a constantly reliable and authoritative source of news was of america will represent america, not any single segment of american society. and will therefore present a balanced and comprehensive projection of significant american thought and institutions. officials on the house foreign affairs committee, se the 50 usa gm journalists were able to escape after getting help from other governments. the state department hasn't even put forward a concrete plan to get its own personnel back home. it just relate

a promise that no one has been forgotten. we did not forget about you say g m employees and families are, will, we will remain keenly focused on getting them out safely. just as soon as we can, the usa g m spokesperson has confirmed that their people are still in a life and death situation. we've asked us the g m. exactly. how many there are. but reports suggest around $500.00 employees and their families remain a situation. republicans describe as disgraceful. my office was working with one of these journalists and tried for 2 weeks to get attention brought his case. so he, his wife and his infant child could be saved, but our police were ignored. it's absolutely disgraceful. the us state department claimed they evacuated the local employees when in reality they abandoned hundreds of usa gm journalists and their families. a scrambled evacuation terrorist attacks a couple airport and a government that doesn't exactly love the us state department. it's

a horrifying situation. it's a horrifying ideal. i mean, we've essentially our government essentially left these people to be murdered, slaughtered by the taliban. these people were seen by taliban. they were us propaganda agents hired and paid by the us government to to report news favorable to democracy, to what to the west, to the u. s. government. and now we've just abandoned them. this is unconscionable . it's immoral it's, it's disgusting because the american people do not think of their government as a sort of government that would do something like that. and yet here we are, these sort of people who have been a top priority to getting out of afghanistan along with others who have been the crosshairs of the taliban. and now they're essentially stuck and left to fend on their own. it's going to be very difficult to get others trust united states government. but then again, you know, our military industrial complex is all the money in the world. so, you know, you can always at the prices, right? so it might step up to the plate and do it. i can tell you to follow this up. we

asked the federal agency for global media for comment as they get back to us. so hopefully this weekend we'll let you know what they had to say. people being left behind on the only thing the public been blasting the us full party, hundreds of dogs, some of the military canines were abandoned. despite the efforts of animal rescue center and cobbled to fly them out, the phone to the non profits reported to be still in afghanistan. poly boy reports what's called the internet madder than anything. a handful of what looks like abandoned to kids. this photo have gone viral, purportedly showing us military service dog left behind. on the tarmac in couples ravaged apple fog, a major backlash on line with people suggesting that this image is a symbol of the heartlessness of joe biden, dithering administration. but washington says, this latest pile on isn't fat. fake news. apparently,

the case animal was anything to do with the us military. they belonged to contractors and had been passed. them were in the process of being evacuated by a point, but animal shelter and couple called a couple small animal rescue sources for this, or the pentagon and the department of defense, folk person. the dogs in the picture are actually in the care of cobbled small animal rescue and animal welfare organization. the 1st casualty of war though is truth and the fate of the dog in the cages is still a mystery. i was talking to ortiz, mariah garcia, who is one of the early reporters on the ground in capital. and he told me that it's still not clear whose dog sees why and why they were left behind. the dog crate, such as the last one, kind of an official apparent, he told me that they'll retrain and we deploy the dog to work for them. instead

they're still running around the perimeter of the airport and the taliban. ah. but taliban has contracted animal control dog control to catch the. i know they say they haven't sentenced them to death. just like with the war itself. america just call when online right now. earlier in august when actual footage of us service dogs being evacuated from capital did emerge, it led to the comments that american dogs lives were more precious than those of afghan human. u. k. government came on defy a couple of weeks ago as well for you being too slow to help with the evacuation of a 150 cats and dogs from a campbell animal shelter run by an expert marine called pen balding when one conservative politician you will. so happens to be an afghan war, veterans with questions about that this was has

a difficulty getting people into and out of the airport. and we just use a lot of troops to bring in 200 dogs. meanwhile, my interpreter family likely to be killed as one interpreter of me a few days ago was my 5 year old with less than your dog. that point. well, the us is accused of rescuing to few people from i've got to start germany. meantime, other take on a few too many now for admitting evacuated 20 people question including suspected terrorists and the convicted rapist among the refugees in europe corresponded and he was able to airlift around 4 and a half 1000 people out of the country before cobble international airport was closed, that going through the process of identifying exactly who has arrived here in the country right now. while they've been doing that, while they've uncovered that, amongst those people that came here on the evacuation flight to germany was one saw doubt. mohammed and the reason he is being named like that is because he was very

well known to german authorities. the reason he was very well known was because he previously being deported from germany that was off the in 2012. he was convicted of having raped his daughter over multiple years by a court in munich. now. he was sentenced to 8 years in 3 months for crime. he was deported to afghanistan back in 2019. we have heard from the interior ministry previously saying that there was no way to carry out checks on the ground in carnival for exactly who was getting on german evacuation flights. some of them totally falsified their papers from a to said. there was an emergency, and cocoa and such situations are always exploited by criminals. for the german government identifies around 40000 people still in afghanistan that it says should be able to come here to germany. when you look at about 4 and

a half 1000 people that have already been evacuated though, well, when it comes to the people that angular merkel said would have priority, that people who had work directly with german military, german, diplomat, german, and $200.00 of those were on those flights that have already left, when you included in the family, members of those people, well, you're still looking at less than one in 5 of the people that are already being brought to germany. having fits into that category that anglo miracle said were the priority long will continue their vocation operation for as long as possible in order to make it possible to go to school. worked with us for security freedom, the rule of law and development to leave the country. so when you look at these people as well, like the, the mon i mentioned had previously been reported. we had heard from the interior ministry that they said happened the number that was previously given was that there was 4 such cases. well, that's now being revised into a well,

incredibly vague because many or more by the federal police who are on the ground in frankfurt. airport, you are going through the top of identifying people who come here on evacuation flights. now. as soon as the cargo airport is reopened, we are expecting more hoping that more of those people can come here to germany. however, as it stands at the moment you're seeing germany having missed its target for people who wanted to evacuate from afghanistan by 90 percent. and also having issues with those who have been able to come here on the evacuation flights that have already arrived. feeder, all of your correspondent, coming up of occupations to inoculations after the break. jeremy, again pushing and not kill ation, hasn't and people to get a coven job before. when to say it's intensive care units are ready mainly swamped by unvaccinated people. you without international this week had to meet, you know,

in the the media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. tycer lation for community. you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah

ah ah ah, i get news to tell you, but the next of this trail in parliament has passed a bell, granting police power to access suspect social media accounts and even control them . authorities will not be able to modify and delete suspects dates or to hack the devices or without having to see could judge his approval. they say the power is needed to fight terrorism and child exploitation, much of which is conducted on line career 6. the stress of the new bill makes a straightly and police judge jury and executioner, while for instance,

in the u. k. in the u. s. no such powers have been granted on a site told by the same time. there's also been discussion about the possibility of introducing id checks for uses on social media and dating ups astray. aliens may, for instance, be to answer a 100 point questionnaire before setting up an account to future. essentially putting an end to anonymity on the internet for many there. the suggestion was also about aimed at trying to tackle online abuse, but it didn't make it into this current bill. anyway, we got some action about these unprecedented powers now being given to the police. i believe that people should be identifiable relatively quickly and relatively straightforwardly. should they do something which harms others. things like that are always useful to investigations into investigative offices because communication between individuals is usually a key part of that investigation. and evidentially very important this. this is

clearly police haven, you know police needs to do no more. we call it fascism. really because this is where the government is effectively controlling the media. in this case, social media or the internet that the source of the problem is that social media an internet communication, has moved on leaps and bounds. and legislation hasn't kept up with it. probably because legislation simply cannot move fast. and communication technology has moved incredible speed like speed over the last few decades. and so problems have a reason where the legitimate interests of the state, legitimate interests of the course, legitimate interest of others, have failed to provide sufficient ways into internet communications.

and so that's lacked behind the times. the reality is that in nearly all cases we are able to, to unravel the aid id of people, people to use email addresses and credit cards. and they pay for things. and it is nearly always possible to, to find out who they are, no matter where they are in the world. and you know, this is the deal of the police. the police will lead to work a little bit and do a little bit of digging and do a little bit of investigation. now you cannot incriminate being an entire nation, but in practice, people can be anonymous on the internet and get up to all sorts of criminal activity, closing all sorts of home with the states and judicial bodies having no practical way of getting behind that. and so that, that is the, the home that needs to be addressed. so the balance has to be struck where there

are sufficient safeguards to make sure that the police are doing it on the spec, as it were. and they've got proper grams for it. and so those things do take time. so as getting the balance, right, remember, governments will take as much power as they possibly can. and this is what the stream in government is doing. now they are just taking as much power as they possibly can because they can elsewhere islands data regulators slap the walk messaging service with the record, $225000000.00 euro 5 for reaching a day to privacy laws. the fun relates to a probe, launched in 2018 questioning the transparency of the company's privacy policies. they included the way uses data was processed and clarity of how rules are replied on the platform. the commissioner calls the violations very serious in response. facebook on what's up says it disagrees with the decision. also, infringement,

same of you, very serious nature. they go to the heart of the general principle after spare, and see, and to fund a mental right of the individual to protection of he's help us no data. we have worked to ensure the information we provide is transparent and comprehensive and will continue to do so. we disagree with the decision today regarding the transparency we provided to people in 2018 and the penalties are entirely disproportionate. is not the 1st instance of penalties being imposed on take jobs in europe just last summer. amazon was fined by luxembourg regulator for breaking you data protection rules as well. but previously activists and tech expert bill new told us he believes the huge funds are going to go almost unnoticed by these massive corporations anyway. but there are some companies on facebook and google examples of this, but actually have a business model based on exploiting data. and these companies need to be held to account to the different level. the problem that we have is while nominally under g

d p o, you can find a company for 4 percent of its revenue. very few of the data protection authorities are doing this. facebook and what's up or in a position where they are regularly falling fall of the regulations. i'm think i think already built friction. it's whole this volume. this is the chicken feed to them. and they all have enormously deep pockets. and there's actually no assurance that this form will actually ever be levied against them. they can go to appeal and they will stretch this out as long as they can. and the irish regulate it's just trying to tracks a big tech booms to base that european headquarters in ireland for a favorable tax regime. now falling in charge of regulating these organizations and holding them out. and they really don't want boats. germany's health ministers, strong encouraging all unvaccinated citizens to overcome this skepticism as he put

it and finally get a covey job. momentous, india. and at the moment we are seeing a pandemic of the vaccinated, more than 90 percent of intensive care. patients with cove at 19 are not facts unaided. we kept our promise. the vaccination doses are there to get a safely through autumn and winter see the all these bad cases. where did that patients in intensive care units. patients who have a bad course of cove, it naturally now are those who are not actually so that the term dependence of the non vaccinated has been developed has been used in the past. and yes, we can see that the world is being separated to groups. it's not wealthy and poor, it's not black and white, it's vaccinated are not vaccinated, and those who are not vaccinated are at risk. so quit look at the german starts. official data shows that more than half of the population has received both vaccines. so the number had gone on then to catch the las,

after the job was extremely low, half of what was said. yeah, the effectiveness of the vaccine produced by pfizer particularly remains in some doubt sophistic through. israel, for example, differ significantly from the ones coming in from germany. take a look. 60 percent of israelis that had the phase a job apparently still fell ill. but there's also a recent study of the a no kill ations just it may be natural. immunity is a much more effective means to tackle cobit 19 the medic we spoke to. again, this has getting vaccinated anyway. might not stop getting coded, but it could significantly ease the course of the disease. you have patients who are actually needed, who have a better course to get cool that that's true. specifically with the very answer. but i have to say that if you are not back in the course of the disease may be worse, the rate of death is higher. the chance of being intensive care unit is higher than the chance of having bad complications is higher. those sort of vaccinated just too much better than those are not vaccine, then yes,

having an infection and surviving the infection gives you antibodies. what, who tells you that this infection you will come out of it healthy and have antibodies and not harbor complications? you will always have people refusing max editions and assert will occur and those people, a surge occurs because cobra is still not gone. it's their surges infectious occur because there is variance by the way. and we all know that in variance are much more infectious than the 1st variance that we have. the way things look in this weekend from us, from kevin though, and in the rest of the team this saturday. thanks for watching live updates from moscow contented color brazier enough, and i've taken to the afternoon and next programs variously, you will part of the well drawn a for a quick break. 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 the drug started 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's got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a tragic, told us that andrew was competing short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing fairly. they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else had to be happening with the

the with i'm action or 10 senior, what's going underground, the team and i are away at the moment, but we'll be back for a new series on september the 8th until then we'll be playing some of your favorite episodes of this season coming up on this show. looking at imperialism had gemini and the history buried by the victor. exactly 232 years since the creation of the united states department of war has today, the u. s. u k. and israel ratchet up tensions with iran. we'll get to the seventy's, also exactly 31 years. and for 1st american soldiers arrived in saudi arabia as part of persian gulf war, $1.50 is in the passing of the gulf of tonkin resolution,

which escalated doomed. washington mass killing pro vietnam to allow in cambodia. the real history of these events is often missing from textbooks and history classes in nato nations and new volume by retired us me off as a major, danny search and attempts to remedy all that by telling a true history of the united states. he joins me now from lawrence in kansas. danny, welcome to going underground. before we get to this monumental history of the united states, i mean it's up there with how it is in arguably and how you manage to teach this to us army soldiers at west point, which will get hundreds. mazing, the whole idea of it. you will take, obviously, on us troops fleeing in the dead of night from afghanistan. will you fought for the u. s. army? well, i think it's, it's a tragedy for the people, but it's been an ongoing tragedy in general that there's been 40 years of war. i think the american troops leaving the dead of night is a fitting way for the imperial us sort of forces to go this war. it's been over for

10 years or longer.
