what about that? only give them up. sure. somebody stuck up in the cove if you're living like the semen of own but in the 21st century, the week, the top floors on the us and the 20 military campaign not counted on leaving the country in the hands of the same 100 pound. they found to defeat a generation ago on the parting gifts, the american forces rubbish, cobble international airport. that's fine, all refugees, all the helicopters and there are a lot of them. the band and the was, have been various various electrical blocks, remove the

taliban and the support says happy in celebrating the us withdrawal with the group for white flags across the country. has jo 5 approval rates and things to its lowest points so far? we look at how the us administration is trying to salvage his image. also that does off to a soft downfall out found the british foreign secretary of growth by empties over his handling of the crisis in afghan. a song on why he was relaxing on a beach one call fall to the how to when to pull it will be interested in there. what i made, what date would you hold the phone? i think your own personal trans policies reports and what was holding. i

sunday so it's so we can hear on our tea a breakdown of the stories that grabbed headlines over the past 7 days. well, fast up what we have, of course this week. so b, u. s. military concluded the longest of a war even gone down to the fate of the same people. washington had promised to overthrow 20. the remaining american troops left the country in the dead of night early on such fast, walrus, which was deadline de couple welcomed withdrawal with celebratory gunshots and fireworks right off to the last. u. s. military cross took off from the cities up route, which has now fully under taliban control. well that's how the look at what americans left behind damaged, caused broken glass, barbed wire piles of rubbish until the port looked like that day b, u. s. military disabled, whatever equipment they could before, leaving, which you can now see in one video post by marine now back on thursday, how senior correspondent, where our gas dave showed us what the capitals at hub looked like. these place

looks very different to what we arrived to during the evacuation that cleaning the plagues up. there's said enormous amount of work to do what with all the vehicles, all the amendments, all the i'm you mission that was left behind by us and allied forces that they were treated as above while there was of it this tool as a person that is still being cleaned up, but as i said, there's a lot of work to do this. evacuation that the pentagon called the largest and most complex in history, left a whole lot of trash behind trash, wreckage and de brie. the taliban command that tells us they destroyed 95 percent of equipment, stuff and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military, for aeroplane, are destroyed 100 percent. we asked to see the airport and once crammed into the

back of a pickup truck, we got our wish. it was like a movie set, a disaster scene. our 1st stop was the helicopter graveyard, all the helicopters and there are a lot of them that were abandoned at capital airport. they have been sabotaged quite visibly. the was have been cut various various electrical blocks removed and smashed, apparently with a sledge hammer. anything the taliban or even afghans could use the americans destroyed and what they couldn't bring themselves to destroy. they let loose. here the, the dog crate. the cause such as the on lot. you have the yes, many of the dog was behind by american booth, but they weren't locked in crates as we had be led to believe they what they were, let you at the dentist, someone before the vital us troops had taken someone,

had opened all the crates and left them with, with food on line animal activists of mobilized in the thousands there in the sense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban, the americans lift the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens and our officers called the in charge of those dogs. and today they came to the port and they are trying to collect the docks and they are trying to the facility for them and what they need to give them all we can say that this may be just what the taliban needs. a p r, stunt, collect the dogs, had the move with the activists and reap the humanitarian glory will tentatively, they may have enough on their plate. the other interesting thing about the airport

is the, the hundreds of armored diplomatic vehicles that have been left here abandon during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was on the way. this is passport control at capitol international airport. this is the states that it was left in after the evacuation was complete for some reason, other than destroying all the military vehicles and aircraft that the united states left behind. they also destroyed much of the airport civilian infrastructure, computers, x rays, cameras, even arrival and departure screens. here they saying it was the americans who cut the power cables knocked over the monitors, smashed windows and kicked in doors, even lou to the vending machines. why? that's boredom, perhaps hate. you don't end the 20 year war and leave in a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of spite more i'd gas

d a r t couple of gotten this done well over in the u. s. c. bodies of soldiers killed in the combo blast was transferred to dover, full space. so a team service members were among a 170 people killed not suicide bombing. the oldest of the troops was just 31 years old, among those paying that respect was the u. s president of speaking over liter terabyte and his hitting a new lowe's home with 43 percent of americans approving of his performance. according to a national poll, his was rating since you started the job and that's actually down 6 percent since the kale to withdraw from cobble. so would a p all campaign allow the administration to win back the hearts and minds of voters? auntie columnist simon wright gives us his take areas in the last us soldier to leave afghanistan, major general chris donahue of the 2nd and soon to be played on the screen by

bradley cooper or chris or jay to thinking you know, i don't think i know is is definitely going to be a movie because now the robot to install has been lost by the u. s. than it buddies the real battle we're getting the battle to make it turn the u. s. actually one. well, maybe not one. they're 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. this is pay all through it and heroic green. send it out into the well, the media will govern it without question. say stuff like this, the last american soldier to leave afghanistan, us 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 do enough, gunner, 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 his long voices case ought to be confused with cable or special case on eagle the asteroid. whenever they pull pung what it might be, hard to believe, given the general accuracy for those and strikes, you still need special forces time on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game civilians. why indeed, hit on monday, a us trying to strike quarterly kill 10 members of one family. most of them children, append to confess the target was a form late and beckle carrying several suicide bombers from isis case locals to get all this lung state who are planning and attacking cobble of course is came just 3 days after that devastating blast up the port now the u. s. entree has confirmed that it did carry out the strike saying it resulted in secondary

explosions. central kwan said it's a wire reports that civilians were killed and is conducting an investigation. so that adds to the evolved death toll over the course of a 20 year war that's come at a devastating cost. i the the the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah okada and ices k still exist in our growing and afghan stand and eventually they acquire these weapons.

oh, the majority of every member behind me is a veteran. we now have americans stuck in afghan. it's been the taliban in charge with mo, more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open ah, humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the half the population need few monetary and a system $1.00 and $3.00. don't know where the next meal will come from. and the u . k. had the 2nd largest military presence in afghanistan and the british foreign

secretary has been grilled over some major missteps during the withdrawal on t. shante edwards dash t. how's the story pair in the heart of rest and it only feels like a matter of time until the foreign secretary will be given the boot. the incompetence of the nature withdrawal is harmful munition. but dominic robert found himself under fire for his disappearing acts of kabul south he was on holiday. but what exactly did he go detail? he dodged 11 times for the seats of transparency of your own actions. when did you hold the will be? did you go and holiday? didn't? what did they, or what date did you go? i made to what date would you hold? the foreign secretary who stayed? i think your own personal transparencies reports and what date you and holiday and so you can run. but you can't hide in this touch. your parents who blame dorothy intelligence for the speed at which the region was seized by the taliban. although a leaks foreign office risk assessment showed that the department,

the one he himself was in charge of wound i saw was on the brink of collapse. peace talks, a stall, and the u. s. nato withdrawal is resulting and rapid taliban advances. this could lead to fall a city club of security forces. taliban return to power must displacement and significant humanitarian need as a days and weeks go by since the taliban takeover, the foreign secretary falls under more and more scrutiny even from colleagues in his own party. many of whom have served enough counties on an arguably never know more about the country than he does when there's a little time, a foreign minister went to his becca stone. went to bed. yeah, i'm not sure i have to check if you would like to know. the busiest seems particularly ready because high come us with reason is better stop ranging evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a route the work screen the effectively from germany. ho minutes i could ever stop the us from a tree to from asked don, going,

i won't declining phone calls from counterparts and literally putting you had in the sound won't make the situation old problem disappear. and the comments weren't, let him forget that who is take response to the helpline and even if it's in your department, not even being opened. so the, the issue as you have a search for the door is that you have a search of emails including late emails and requests like that. but let me just explain the situation for you. just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't you 3 different question. i got a question on the surface. this looks like a friend you've planning on on grunt scale. ok. so he has finally decided to follow his foreign counterpart lead and head to the region. but it's a bit late now, considering all western forces have left us on neighboring countries of clothes

that brought us to not to mention the numbers of british national. still. how will they get out, or even will they not confident numbers remaining, but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why 100 you mean $110.00 sort of area? or do you mean under $3400.00, they will be in the low hundreds 100 sounds that it could be $400.00. or it could be 10510115. i'm if i could give you any more precision because i would let me somewhere between 10500. so let me explain. k nationals. so let me explain why it's difficult. and the same grilling dominant. rob. talk into the age old mantra, the u. s. remains are closest ally of course, so you can follow the u. s. and assuming the african government could keep the taliban at bay and didn't prepare for the west as every government should. but does this make rob a writer and does, for johnson have a leg to stand on?

when robs incompetence seems to encapsulate the government's loss of control. as a whole, public person doesn't have knowledge and who is supposed to protect the nation. it doesn't make me feel that i can trust politicians. my whole opinion of the government is not very high. and as the dominant, rob, so behavioral things appointment. i'm just sure that she doesn't know what we in the site actually. i think the best i mean to, to be a british, but someone gives you 4 days or 5 days to clear out the countries go much chances getting everyone seems to be more more concerned with his own in depression that he is making on the world. well, there's a lot more what's going on in the world around him. while still ahead, our team sat out on the still avoid the north pole and a russian ice breaker. we're going to be amazing and not of the shall break

i so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk i think what your mind indeed gets up against them with a great decision over the last 30 years. it, it was the 1st decision which didn't follow the course of the events in history. why it was an attempt to change the course. and the biggest

task or this dealership is to contradict history, is to change the historical part from the national 4 important, what actually joe biden did the ah, welcome back. cannot you find me for this hour, but you will must close on for some pretty mesmerizing frozen landscapes and sunny arctic night because we're heading to the north pole. were on board a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north pole. the ice breakers main job is to guide tankers through russia. it's frozen northern seas, but in the summer, when it's downtime the ship carries tories to the north pole, the vessel is large and heavy. it takes 2 tug boats to pull it out from its moorings and we're sailing off into the arctic ocean. so for the next 10 days is

going to be ice water, more ice, more water and yeah. humming of the ship's nuclear reactors. the 50 years of victory was launched in 1993 and as the world's 2nd largest nuclear icebreaker. it used to be number one until recently, but then the arctic came along, which is even bigger and more powerful. other countries also have icebreaker is, but only russia has empowered by atomic energy because of its size. i guess i keep losing sense of direction around here. so for instance, right now, i'm trying to find my cabin, but i have no idea where it is. i use the 50 years of victory gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar, given

a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. what's deaf and dark habit? nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we haven't found a couple of big bags in one of the drawers are admire how rocket can get in the ocean. the room has, why look, it even has a humidifier. and it also has the tv but only 2 channels. one show you the route and one gives you the view from the ship bow. so given the fact that there is no internet and mobile reception whatsoever, this is about all digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can always gauge in the window enjoy using our big news. now it's time to meet the captain. a tall,

handsome man who likes to smoke his bite on the bridge while steering the mighty vessel forward. at the other 20 miles, it's a rudder, as i understand, we'll move through all the more than you can effectively cool the ship's wheel, the rudder, a but of and it has automatic steering, which holds the ship course. some deals with that. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? tony's axiom of the bill that's quite an auto pilots. auto pilot is what keeps an aircraft in 3 dimensions. whereas on a ship, it's just to show up. and then if i turn the rudder or that was, it was just a new course, investor will turn in just to a new steady cause. and this is what happens on a lower deck. every time the captain adjust the course, the helm sets these large pistons in motion, which turns the ship left or right. the we were on the bridge, interviewing the captain and we were lucky enough to side our 1st arctic iceberg.

shoot you this back to the day. icebergs aren't 100 percent. why they have these beautiful took washing. they also come in handy for local birds. after 2 days of sailing, we reach friends, joseph land, and uninhibited arctic archipelago which belongs to russia are now the most dangerous part of our journey begins. if something happens, it will take days for someone to come rescue us from now on. we can count only in ourselves and our captain the. well, this is what it feels like. the ice breakers, while we wait, i can't admit that when the ship hits the ice.

you might think that an icebreaker ramsey, i wouldn't actually ride the pot at 1st and then crushes downward with all the might. and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help the chopped the into small pieces have away forward watching the ship break, the ice and push trying, trying to decide is mesmerized. it's weirdly both calming and intimidating at the same parts of the ship start to cover with ice as we get closer to the north. however, the temperature is an extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me, veteran polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on that. it's a common misconception that the north pole is the coldest spot on the earth. it's completely false. the north pole is the middle of an ocean. the ocean does it kind of have storage as it allows temperature spike frequently at the north pole. it's warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or who ends remains. the pole of cold does

not coincide with an actual geographical one. on the 3rd day we saw our 1st polar bear. he was taking a nap on an ice load before we woke him up. the beer gave a grumpy look. walk away and try to fall asleep again. well, don't be full by his adorable look. these are deadly wild animals that are in a toria for attacking human. and you see it live in the arctic is no picnic and feed is in short supply for these animals and a polar bear will go after anything that's moving in their time even for you. what a lot of people on the ship really missed is good asleep. it's midnight. but look how bright it is. it's really hard to adjust to the polar day. and a lot of passengers, including myself, are having a hard time falling asleep. you see the sun rises and says just once per year, which makes time of day and irrelevant concept here. that goes to the time itself.

by the way, we'll get to that. but the north pole on the 5th day, all eyes were on gps coordinates as everyone's waiting to finally reach 90 degrees north. i knew it was a oh mm hm. so from here, every direction you look is south. there is nobody above us. we are literally on top of the world. i don't know. let me say it again. we are on top of the well we're against the mind blowing. if you want to know what time it is, it's basically whatever you like it to me is what i meant. by the way, i tried all the way from the mainland to show you. all of us try coming together at the top or at the bottom just like really longitude we've determined time in the

blood. so at the north or south pole this all the time zones and none of them are the same, no time, no other people just the down las frozen desert. it was most to real experience in my life. well, until this happened to us in the order in the north pole after all, and only had 2 people made it here on top of the world. so go ah, your leg. each magical in this place to me personally, is that you exist within one dimension with the world around the human case. time with the rhythms of all the people who are close friends relative to scaffolding

different well, unless in this way you're in one dimension with the law firm some alone time. one could look at how we live the right or wrong, the previous deal with ah constant, the raska reporting for our teeth from the north pole. some pretty beautiful pictures that, that is all been attendant for the albert. remember all t dot com has so much more stories around through much more just to quickly check it out and have a great day. the

ah ah ah ah ah ah, the the me, the me

ah hello and welcome to want to part for them all for leaving in history for people is a bit like swimming in water for fish. both species are too far side had to comprehend what's immediately in front of them. but recently the scale and the speed of transformations have intensified so much that it's impossible not to notice the change though the question of what to do about it still remains open. what the charge on this donald was, i'm now joined by the board, the trough program director at the vault di discussion club and also of the recently published book europe, russia and the liberal wealth order support. or if it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. i'm sure you would agree with my opening statement that the world is changing fast. but you wrote recently that the consequences of such transformations would be very specific, very individual for each and every country. and that in itself presents the hardest

problems in foreign affairs today. why is that wilson due to even though the state of the relatively similar, institutionalized public organism. each of them represents its own unique position in terms of the geo politics, historian, experience, and economic, initial economic possibilities. and these 3 factors there form how the stays, develop and holiday react to the outside challenges and the pin inches, holiday behave from the perspective of the day international relations. we are not looking at the internal particularities of each thing. for us, the most important is how they behave in front of the understand. so and what you have not mentioned in your introductory remark that.
