. we also learned that perhaps the celebrations were very mature because the resistance, those anti taliban forces stationed in pine valley have 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 problems, 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 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 to

2:06 pm
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 g. m state funded outlets like voice of america and radio free europe spent over $5000000.00 to win the country's 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

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 as seen by taliban. they were us
2:09 pm
propaganda agents hired and paid by the u. s. 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 of afghanistan along with others who have been in 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 we might step up to the plate and do it. what we have asked the u. s. federal agency for global media to comment on this story and we'll let you know when we get a reply. now people being left behind isn't the only thing the public has been

call when online right now. earlier in august when actual footage of us service dogs being evacuated from capital did emerge, it led to a comment 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 penn bobbing. when one conservative politician, you will so happens to be an afghan war that trent was questioned about that this was the difficulty is 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 is one interpreter, i'll speak a few days ago, was my 5 year old with less than your dog that point. and i,

while the u. s. is accused of rescuing too few people from afghanistan. germany might have taken a few too many because among those it's a lifted 20 have turned out to be people have question including suspected terrorists and a convicted rapist. he's all your correspondent, peter oliver. 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 out 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
2:14 pm
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 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, 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,
2:15 pm
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, we will continue their vacation alteration for as long as possible in order to make it possible for after school worked with us for security. freedom, the rule of law and development to leave the country. he, 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 such 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 in frankfurt airport. you are going through the task of identifying people who come
2:16 pm
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. meanwhile, turkey has reinforces eastern border with a ran to cater for the mass ex. this from afghanistan and new 150 kilometer war in van province is 3 meters high, is top 3 barbed wire. and his patrol around the clock was still come, few this hour the messaging service, what's up? guess a massive fire from the you. what it does with use this data will be back for the details in a couple of the

2:19 pm
opposition figure in lex in developing who is now serving time in jail after being convicted for embezzlement and reaching his parole condition in the eyes of the authorities. this, of course, amounts to blatant interference in russia's political affairs by foreign states and maria harv, i couldn't help but draw parallels with the heated debate between russia and the us that ensued in the wake of america, 2016 presidential election following the 2016 elections in the us, doesn't the fresh and diplomats were accused of meddling in the election process and expelled without any proof whatsoever. i dread 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, according to maria's harbor for an embassies, namely the u. s. and germany hired russian citizens to transfer money to the val man, he's projects as a private donations, one of them. the anti corruption fund, was brenda, an extremist organization. for inciting an authorized demonstrations in russia earlier this year, maria,
2:20 pm
the harvest says it's unclear whether the transfers were done voluntarily by embassy staff, who simply sympathized with an invalid. the or it just may be part of their salaries, were designated to sponsor the russian opposition. all along, what's important here is that for officials, the situation is totally unacceptable. and is a clear case of meddling in the russian politics. movies in brief, now for saturday, september has been a busy one of protests round the world 1st here in london where nancy migration march was met with a kind of protest. there were some minor scuffles between demonstrators and police, with opposing marches. clearly at numbering initials and then in paris, tango became restrictions or thousands to and i was again in protest at faxing part is mandatory jobs. there was a heavy police presence. there's previous gatherings had occasionally island, and then in greece, dozens of right wing at gathered in central athens to protest the arrival of little mile 3 and a half feet high. profit of a serene child,

2:22 pm
an account. so it would essentially remove anonymity on the internet for many, although it is still just a proposal. this stage we put the issues up for discussion. 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 that the source of the problem is that social media an
2:23 pm
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 communication technology has moved incredible speed like speed over the last few decades. and so problems have a reason where and legitimate interests of the state legitimacy interests of the course. legitimate interest of others have 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 aid id of people. people use email addresses and credit cards and they pay for things entities nearly always possible to,
2:24 pm
to find out who they are, no matter where they are in the world. and you know, this is the dope of the police. here's 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. no, no, you cannot incriminate. being an 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's the, the, 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 that 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
2:25 pm
stream in government is doing. now they are just taking as much power as the possibly can because they can elsewhere islands. data regulator has slapped the whatsapp messaging service with the record 225000000 euro fine for breaching you data privacy laws. it does relate to a probe loans in 2018 questioning the transparency of the company's privacy policy . they do include the way use this data is processed and clarity over high rules replied on the platform. the commission caused the violations. very serious. so they facebook own sap to say 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
