of rifles firing straight around into the air was very reminiscent of what happened when the last of american troops pulled out of travel 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. at that point we decide that it perhaps its, its 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 5 the poor 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
9:03 am
. our province against taliban rule in kindness, on pensive province. we also learned that perhaps the celebrations were pretty mature because the resistance, those anti taliban forces stationed in pioneer 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 ca, 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, west surrounded pans, u r. g has also spoken, so those forces fighting against the tide about impact your body. and they said 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 had about representatives traveling to budget, trying, trying to establish a peace, peaceful resolution. to listen to this standup. but the taliban saying that 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 again, but again i shared province is the last remaining province in ghana. not on the taliban rule. the rest of the country is i'm the direct taliban control and italy uncontested. just by promising to get every us state, funding, journalist out of afghanistan, nonetheless, hundreds were left behind. as the last american plane departed during the evacuation some day eventually managed to escape, but only would help from other governments. because there were men and women in
9:05 am
uniform, more than 25000000 afghans are free afghans, 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 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, that 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's state funded outlets like 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
9:07 am
free europe and radio. liberty mission is to promote democratic vail, youth and institutions by reporting the use in countries where a free press his band, 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 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 related 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,
9:08 am
the usa g m spokesperson has confirmed that their people are still in a life and death situation. we've asked usa 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 as seen by taliban. they were us
9:09 am
propaganda agents hired and paid by the u. s. 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 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 of afghanistan along with others who have been the cross hairs 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 of 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, well, we've asked the us federal agency for global media if a comment will bring you their response. as soon as we hear anything back. now people big left behind. isn't there anything the public's been blasting the united states for apparently over a 100 dogs?
9:10 am
some of the military k nines were abandon, despite the efforts of an animal rescue center and cobbled to fly them house. the founder of the nonprofit is reported to still be in afghanistan, poly boys 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 dogs left behind. on the tarmac in couples ravaged apple fog, a major backlash online with learning 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 bad news. apparently, the case dynamos 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 private animal sheltering couple called
9:11 am
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, is truth and the faith of the dog in the cages is still a mystery. i was talking to ortiz, mariah garcia, he's one of the early reports on the ground in capital, and he told me that it's still not clear who's dog fees, why and why they were left behind. you the, the don't great food such as 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 contacted animal control dog control to catch them. i know they say they haven't sentenced them to death. just like with the war itself. america just
9:12 am
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 being too slow to help with the evacuation of 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 veteran was questioned 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 to 100 dogs. meanwhile, my interpreter family likely to be killed as one interpreter, osby a few days ago, was my 5 year old with less than your dog that point. and while the us is accused
9:13 am
of rescuing too few people from afghanistan, germany might have taken a few too many after admitting that it 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. they're 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 after in 2012, he was convicted of having raped his daughter over multiple years by
9:14 am
a court in munich. now he was sentenced to 8 years in 3 months for the crime. he was then 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 is 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 angular merkle said would have priority that people who had worked directly with german military, german, diplomat, german, and $200.00 of those were on those slides that have already left when you include
9:15 am
in the family members of those people, while you still looking at less than one in 5 of the people that have already been brought to germany having fits into that category that anglo merkel said we're the priority of long we will continue their vocation operation for as long as possible in order to make it possible for afghans who 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 man 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 search cases. well, that's now being revised into a well, incredibly vague, there's many or more by the federal police who are on the ground at frankfurt airport. you are going through the task of identifying people who come here on evacuation flights, though as soon as the cargo airport is reopened,
9:16 am
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 on the way this saturday messaging service. whatsapp gets an expensive regulatory slap from the e u. and it's all about uses privacy, you know, without c at the weekend to go away. ah, i the, i think was your mind indeed gets up again with a great decision over the last 30 years. it was the 1st decision which did not
9:17 am
follow the course of the events and history was an attempt to change the course. and the biggest task on the statement is to contradict history, is to change the historical part from the national foreign policy and what actually july them do the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation 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
9:18 am
the study in parliament has passed a bill, granting police powers to access suspects, social media accounts, and even control them. allow authorities to modify and delete suspects data and hacked their services and devices all without having to speak and judges approval. it said the powers needed to fight terrorism and child exploitation, much of which is conducted online. critics outstretched. the new bill makes the australian police judging jury and executioner. well, for instance, in britain, in the us, no such powers have been grounded of the same time. there's also been discussion about the possibility of introducing id checks for users on social media and also dating apps. australians will be asked to answer 100 point questionnaire before setting up an account. essentially putting an end to anonymity on the internet for many suggestion was also aimed at tackling online abuse, but didn't make its way onto the current bill. we got some reaction about the unprecedented powers. now being given to the police. i believe that people should
9:19 am
be identifiable relatively quickly and relatively straightforwardly. should they do something which harms others, things like that are always useful to investigations and to 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 that the source of the problem is that social media and internet communication has moved on leaps and bounds. and legislation hasn't kept up with it. probably because legislation simply cannot lose that fast. and
9:20 am
communication technology has moved. incredible speed, light speed over the last few decades. and so problems have a reason where the legitimate interests of the state legitimacy 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. 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. yes, the police will need 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
9:21 am
entire nation. 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 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
9:22 am
regulator has stopped the whatsapp messaging service with the record 225000000 euro fines breaching you data privacy laws. it relates to a probe, launched in 2018 questioning, the transparency of the company's privacy policies. they included the way uses data is processed and clarity of how rules are applied on the platform. the commission codes the violations, very serious, while facebook and whatsapp says it disagrees with a decision. also infringement, same of you, very serious nature. they go to the heart of the general principle of transparency and defender, mental 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 disproportionate. i saw the 1st instance of penalties being imposed on tech giants in europe just this summer. amazon was fined
9:23 am
by luxembourg regulator, the breaking e u data protection rules as well. but privacy campaigner and tech expert bill me believes that is huge in these fines. look the firms weren't really notice. 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 data protection authorities are doing this. facebook and what's up in a position where they are regularly falling fall of the regulations. i'm finding facing renewable fraction. it's whole, this volume is, is up the chicken feed to them. and they all have enormously deep pockets, and they don't actually know assurance that this foreign will actually ever be, levied against them. they can go to appeal and they will stretch these out as long
9:24 am
as they can. and the irish regulator, it's just trying to attract 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 really don't want to run the boat. jim and health minister is strongly encouraging all unvaccinated citizens to overcome their skepticism. and finally, get a covert job momentum in 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 safety 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 vaccine. so that the term, the panoramic of the non max needed has been developed has been used in the past.
9:25 am
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 on official data shows that more than half of the german population has received both vaccine doses. the number of people who called the illness after a job is extremely low. it's just a fraction of one percent. yet the effectiveness of the vaccines produced by pfizer doesn't remain in a little bit of doubt. statistics from israel, for example, differ significantly from those in germany. 60 percent of israelis had had the 5 jobs still fell ill. then there's also a recent study of the inoculation, suggesting that natural immunity is much more effective as a means to tackle coven 19. but the body that we spoke to says, getting vaccinated might not stop getting covert, but it could significantly ease the course of the disease. you have patients who
9:26 am
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, and the chance of having bad complications is higher. those sor vaccinated just too much better than those are not vaccine, then yes, having an infection and surviving the infection gives you antibodies. 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 a surge will occur in those people. a surge occurs because it is still not gone. it's their surges infections 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. like i knew this hour, it's been revealed that foreign diplomats working in russia,
9:27 am
including those from the u. s and germany have been handing out general financial support to the opposition rushes. foreign ministry says the now defunct to activists organisation of alexi develope was one of the main beneficiaries. and let's cross live to our correspondent, konstantin ross golf. who's across this forest high that what's being said, konstantin tours of bees are quite serious allegations that we're looking at. according to maria, the heart of our russian foreign ministry, spokes woman, embassies of the western countries. namely, the united states and germany are working in russia, sponsored a legacy in the valley and his projects. and of course, in the eyes of russian authorities. this amounts to blayton interference in domestic political affairs of the russian federation, bite foreign states. so let's have a listen. busy to maria's a harbor herself and see which how see how she describes the situation.
9:28 am
follow in the 2016 elections in the united states. dozens of fresh and diplomatic work hughes of madeline in the election process, and expelled without any proof whatsoever. i'd try to think what would have happened if they had found a single dollar transferred from russia to any party in america. and this is what the scheme looked like. foreign embassies hired russian citizens who then transferred money to lexi and n. he's organizations one of them, by the way, anti corruption fund was branded as an extremist organization earlier this year for inciting an authorized demonstration in russia and maria, the harvard believes that those people, russian citizens were hired specifically with a purpose to later on transfer. ah, that money that sums of money to alexandra volley and his allies always get this shady maneuvering close to election time done you ok constantly. roscoe,
