good, and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. and the taliban celebrates taking full control of afghan. it's done, after declaring they defeated the remnants of the resistance, but anti taliban fighters played they still hold the parts of the eastern pantry or providence, a convicted rapist and suspects of tara, what's left to discovered among asylum seekers. elevated to germany from afghanistan. the trailer introduces a new bill that allows authorities to access into that accounts and hack device is anyone under investigation we debate the controversial regulation. people can be

anonymous on the internet and get upset. all sorts of criminal activity, closing all sorts of you brandy, almost an entire nation is criminal. everyone to suspect they're proven innocent. ah . hello, good to have you with this this weekend. you're watching r t international. my name is colleen bright. we didn't update this out 1st. the taliban now claims to have absolute control over afghanistan defeating the last pocket of resistance in the east and pantry, a province where thousands of anti taliban fighters had formed a strong hold. but in conflicting news amid days of fears fighting, the opposition says they're holding fast, reporting from cobble. here's our cd, corresponded during the night. the city of cavil again erupt. it in almost spontaneous gunfire with a constant rule, almost 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 log into the night. well, yesterday, as we fill matter up here, we had the characteristic sound a bullet 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 the various sources, died as a result of that gun flaw. yesterday the taliban had since forbidden firing into the air in full celebration by its side to say any fight the court 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 gun. this don punch in the province. we also learned that perhaps some celebrations were pretty mature because the resistance, those anti taliban forces stationed in pine valley has 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 been tardy of the province, but rather several strategic heights and several areas of the proven they have launched attacks from the north, from the south, from the east and west surrounded pans, u r g has also spoken to those forces fighting against the tide about in pantry or body. and they say that while they were welcome negotiations, they are prepared to fight to the end. i just remind everyone,

negotiations stretched on for about a week before this offensive began with taliban representatives, traveling to pines. you trying, trying to establish a piece, 3 ship 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 minutes. suppose any new government that is formed here and i've gotten some, but again, i check province is the last remaining province in of ghana thoughts. not on the taliban rule. the rest of the country is i'm the direct taliban control and italy uncontested. despite promising to get every us state fund a journalist out of afghanistan, nonetheless, hundreds were left behind. as the last american plane departed during the evacuation, some did eventually managed to escape,

but only withheld 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 afghanistan, freedom and democracy. now they have another fiasco to show for it. this decision about that can stand is not just by that and spout any an era of major military operations to re make other countries no more than a school 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 democratic vail, youth and institutions by reporting the use in countries where a free press is banned by the government or not fully established. woods 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 say only 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, jam 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 a gm 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, to the west, to the u. s. government. and now we've just abandoned them. this is unconscionable . it's immoral. 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, the sort of people who have been a top priority to getting out about dana stand 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. what we've asked the u. s. federal agency for global media and some comments on this. we will bring you that response as soon as we hear anything back, people being left behind on anything the public's been blasting the us for

apparently over a 100 dogs. some of the military. k nines were abandoned by the efforts of an animal rescue center in cobble to fly them out. the founder of the nonprofit is reported to still be in afghanistan, poly boys report was called the internet madder than anything, a handful of what looks like abundant coaches. this photo has gone viral, purportedly showing us military service dogs left behind. on the tarmac in couples ravaged a apple fog, a major backlash online with learning people suggesting that this image is a symbol of the heartlessness of joe biden, did during administration. but washington says, this latest pile on isn't bad news. apparently the case danimal was anything to do with the us military. they belonged to contractors and had been passed and were in the process of being evacuated by

a point. but animal shelter and couple called a couple small animal rescue sources for the, for the pentagon and the department of defense folks, person, the dogs in the picture are actually in the care of cobble, small animal rescue, and animal welfare organization. the 1st casualty of war though, in truth and the fate of the dogs in the cages is still a mystery. i was talking to ortiz, mariah garcia, who's one of the early reports on the ground in capital. and he told me that it's still not clear who's dogs, why and why they were left behind. he will be the greatest such on lot one kind of an official apparent. he told me that they'll retrain and redeploy 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 it lead to 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 primarily being too slow to help with the evacuation of 150 cats and dogs from a campbell animal shelter run by an ex 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. i'll be

a few days ago was my 5 year old with less than you to that point. i want us to keep dive rescuing too few people from afghanistan. germany might have taken a few too many after messing that had evacuated 20 people of question. including suspected terrorists and a convicted rapist among the refugees. his europe correspondent. and he was able to lift around 4 and a half 1000 people out of the country before cobble international airport was closed. that going through the process of identify 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 evacuation flight to germany was one saw 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 that 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 cobble for exactly who was getting on german evacuation flights. some of them totally falsified their papers from a to said. there was an emergency in cabal, 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 would work directly with german military,

german diplomats such as the 200 of those were on those slides 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 of humans long who will continue their vacation operation for as long as possible in order to make it possible for after school worked with us for security . 3 down the rule of law and development to leave the country. see when you look at these people as well, like the, the mon, i mentioned to previously being deported. 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 will be incredibly vague. there's many or more by the federal police who are on the ground and 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 target for people, it 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 all the way from evacuations. to inoculations, germany pushes inoculation. hesitant people to get a cobit jap before the windsor saying it's intensive care units already mainly swamped by unvaccinated people. without the weekend to go away. the

i me ah ah, i use join me every 1st a on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess on the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me

the. the news. ah. hello again. the australian parliament passed the bill, granting police powers to access suspects, social media accounts, and even control them. he authorities, when i'll be able to modify and delete suspects data and hacked their devices or without having to seek judges approval. they say the power is needed to fight terrorism and child exploitation, much of which is conducted on line critics. the stress that the new bill makes australian police judge jury and executioner, while for instance, in the u. k. in the us, no such powers have been granted at the same time. there's also been discussion about the possibility of introducing id checks for uses on social media and also dating apps. australians may be asked to answer a 100 point question that before setting up an account,

essentially putting it in to anonymity on the internet for many living that the suggestion but also aimed at tackling online abuse. yet it didn't make it into its way to the current bill. we got some reaction about the 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 fascism really because this is where the government is effectively controlling the media. in this case, social media or the internet. 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 that fast. and communication technology has moved incredible speed, light speed over the last few decades. and so, problems have a reason where legitimate interests of the state, legitimate interests of the courts, legitimate interest of others of failed to provide sufficient ways into internet communications. and so that lacks behind the times. the reality is that in nearly all cases we are able to, to unravel the id of people. people who use email addresses and credit cards and they pay for things entities 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, but 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 in order. 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 in their proper grounds for it. and so those things do take time, so it's 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 regulator has slapped what's up messaging service with the record 225000000 euro find the breaching you've data privacy laws. find relates to a probe, launched in 2018 questioning, the transparency of the company's privacy policies included the way uses data is processed and how clarity over how rules are applied on the platform. the commission caused the violations. very serious. well, facebook and whatsapp 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 c, and the fundamental right of the individual to protection of he's held personal 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 disproportion. i saw the 1st instance of penalties being imposed on tech giants in europe just this summer. amazon was fined by luxemburg regulated the breaking your data protection bills as well. but privacy activist and tech ex, but they'll be a believe that the huge fines will go almost unnoticed by the 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 a counselor 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 dental protection authorities are doing this. facebook and what's up or in a position where they are regularly fall and fall of the regulations. i'm facing rental fraction at all. this volume is, is the chicken feed to them. they all have enormously deep pockets. and there's

actually no assurance that these foreign will actually ever be levied against them . they're going to go to appeal and they will stretch this out as long as they can . and the irish regulate just it's just trying to tracks a big tech booms to base that european headquarters in ireland for a favorable tax regime. now, volumes is in charge of regulating these organizations and holding them out. i didn't really just want to run the boat. jim health minister is strongly encouraging all unvaccinated citizens to overcome their skepticism and finally got a cobra jump, momentous in via an appendix. a moment we are seeing a pandemic of the vaccinated, more than 90 percent of intensive care patients with cove at 19 or not vaccinating . 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 cobit naturally now are those who are not vaccine so that the term dependence of the non max needed 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 back are at risk. the official numbers in germany shows more than half the population has received both vaccine doses and the number of those who called the illness after getting a job extremely low, less than a fraction of one percent. yet the effectiveness of the vaccine produced by pfizer remains a little bit in doubt because statistics from israel, for example, differ significantly from those in germany. 60 percent of israelis that had the 5 jobs still fell ill. then there's a recent study. the knock elation that suggest that in fact, natural immunity is more effective in tackling cove at 19 the made that we spoke to

again says the getting vaccinated might not stop you 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 it. 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, maybe worse, the rate is higher. the chance of being intensive care unit is higher, and the chance of having bad complications is higher. those sort of vaccinated just to much better, and those are not vaccinated 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 to this is an, a surge will occur. and those people, a surge occurs because it is still not gone. it's their surges in infections occur because there is variance. by the way, we all know that in variance are much more infectious than the 1st variance that we

had. hey, what would you all stay safe this weekend and call him right back. we the next hour to international news and just have a half an hour. see that the, who's the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. 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

ah me ah, when you're starting to go awesome and i think you probably didn't share it with me because he knew that they, they worked for me and they were successful for me. but that wasn't the case for him. she knew something was, was different, she knew something was wrong. i was having a lot of your ability, lot of all the communicating. so a lot of stress on our relationship and we just didn't talk about it much. you know?

i thought i was the worst wife in the world and i didn't know was going on and for day driving home. i was like okay, well, you know, what can i do differently? and about 4 weeks later he shared with me that he had taken himself off the medication when i was a huge relief to me to okay, it's not me, but yeah, he was, it just became short and irritable and he wasn't positive anymore. everything was negative. i was totally dysfunctional and began experiencing this well call this irrational terror like level of anxiety that i had never previously experienced. i come home from work and i found him on the kitchen floor, crawl up in a ball, sobbing and rocking. didn't want anybody to touch him, be anywhere near him. he go, you find

a place to go hide in the house and just saw and controlled lee. it's really, really hard to see. i got to a point where i refer wholesale, refused to consume a more drugs and that kind of can do ahead several months ago. and that's why right now we're separated. the breaking point for me to signing to move out there was, there was a couple of things. he is of the mindset that it's just going to take time and there's nothing that you can do. he said, here's what the options that i see. they are mostly in medical based and have absolutely refused my entire background of my psychiatrists. i said i look, i took pride in being in the navy. i took pride and surviving and making it through my tea and had high hopes to do good things for the navy and for the country and. and now i don't know who i am. and the only thing that happened between then and now is i've been exposed to a series of very strong.
