nato was founded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. in the story that shape the week for us in this 20 year, a military campaign in afghanistan leaving the country in the same terrorist group . they vowed to defeat a generation they go, though they parting american forces, rob h, capital international airport, their final refuge and all the helicopters. and there are a lot of them that were finding the was, have been caught various various electrical blocks, remove the,

the telephone, their supporters helping, celebrating the us withdrawal with the groups, white flags blown across the country. jo biden's approval, racing things to new lows. we look at how the u. s. administration is trying to salvage its image after the disaster, if a whole lot. and another aspect coming up, the british foreign secretary, is brill by empties over his handling of the gun prices and why he was relaxing on a beach. when did you board holiday? deep speaking, interested in what he did. that's what i made. what date did you call before? and i think your own personal transparency support holiday i with the stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as

well. welcome to the weekly an rti annuity this week. so the u. s. military concluded, longest, ever war leaving afghanistan to the fates of the same people, washington had promised to overthrow 20 years ago. the remaining american troops left the country in the dead of night early on august 31st, which was deadline de campbell welcome the withdrawal with celebrated reed gun shellfish fireworks right after the last u. s. military aircraft took off from the cities report, which is now fully under taliban control. let's have a look at what the americans left behind, damaged cars, broken glass, barbed wire, and piles of rubber st. essentially what the airport looked like, killed the day, the us military disabled, whatever equipment they could before, leaving, which you can see. in fact, in one marines, video on thursday or a senior correspondent morocco the visited the capital ger hope. 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 armament, all the ammunition that was left behind by us and allied forces as they retreated as above. while there was of this tool as a person that is still being cleaned up. but as i say, there's a lot of work to do these evacuation that the pentagon calls the largest and most complex in history left a whole lot of trash behind trash wreckage. and they, bree the taliban command, that tells us they destroyed 95 percent of the equipment, stuff, and systems. they destroyed everything and destroyed cars. airplanes, especially the military for us 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, the scene. our 1st stop was the helicopter graveyard, all the helicopters and there are lots of them that were abandoned at capital airport. they have been sabotaged quite visibly. the wires 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 the, the don't create the cause such as the on lot. you have the yet many of the gods behind by the american. but they weren't locked in crates as we had be led to believe they what they will let you at the dentist, someone before the final 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, their incense that the american troops could have left behind these dogs right there next to the runway. at the mercy of the taliban, the americans live the dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens are often called the in charge of those dogs and to dave, they came to the port and they are trying to collect the docks and they are trying to in the facility for them and what they need to give them all we can say that these may be just what the taliban needs. a p r stuck collect the dogs and the move with the activities and reap the humanitarian glory. alternatively, 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 abandoned

during the evacuation. they used these vehicles to block off roads while the evacuation was on the way. this is passport control at capital international airport. this is the states that it was left in after the evacuation was complete for some reason, other than destroying or 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. bats hate. you don't end the 20 year war and leave in a humiliating evacuation without feeling

a little bit of st. right. where i'd get you g couple. i've gotten this done. i'll of course, there's realm of occasions beyond the countries borders in the us. the bodies of soldiers killed in the capital or port blasts were transferred to dover or force base in delaware. 13 service members were among 170 people killed in the suicide bombing. the old list of the soldiers was just 31 among those paying the respects was the u. s. president. well, joe biden is hitting the new rating. lowes at home with only 43 percent of americans approving of his performance according to a national poll. that is his worst performance, his worst numbers, since he started the job done 6 percent after the chaotic withdrawal from cable. so what a p r campaign? a lot of the administration to win back the hearts and minds of voters. our t column is simon wright, gives us his take areas. then the last us soldier to leave afghan is don major

general chris donahue, of the 2nd and seem to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or jay to think it tonight. i don't think i know is, is definitely going to be a movie because now the robot to, for i got installing, has been lost by the u. s. then it's buddies, the real battle, we're getting the battle to make light and i turn the u. s. actually one, well, maybe not one, they're not miracle workers, but make it look, they didn't lose clients i badly exhibit. one is in fact the aforementioned major general chris donahue. there is no way that this picture here was there and different pay all through it and heroic green, and out into the well, the media will govern it without question, say stuff like in the last american soldier to leave afghanistan on the lot and us in the navy and the last american troops left jeff ghana, stan, i mean, come on, you think this is really the last us don't do enough. 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 wife. this long voices came to be confused with k pop or special k on either ordered asteroids for whenever they put on what it might be hard to believe, given their general accuracy for their strikes. you still need special forces on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game. millions were indeed on monday, a us june strike reportedly killed 10 members of one family. most of them children . the pentagon said that target was a bomb laden vehicle carrying several of suicide bombers from isis k, the local affiliate of islam estates who were planning an attack in campbell. it happened 3 days after the devastating blast at the airport. the us military has

confirmed that a carried out the strike seeing it resulted in 2nd, re explosions. central command said it's aware of reports, civilians were killed is conducting an investigation and it's all. busy of course out to the vast death to over the course of a to decade long war that's coming to devastating cost. in the the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah okada and isis k still

exist in our growing and gamma stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. oh, the majority of every member behind a veteran. we now have american stuff going to get us than the taliban in charge with most more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open. ah, the humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the half the population needs the monetary and the system one and 3 don't know where their next meal will come from.

well the u. k. had the 2nd largest military presence in afghanistan on the british . foreign secretary has been grilled over some major mis that during the withdrawal art. shoddy. edwards dusty has this way for us pair in the heart of westminster. it only feels like a matter of time until the foreign secretary will be given that the incompetence of the nature which laurel is munitions. but dominic law, fountain, self, undefined. for his disappearing cobble south. he was on holiday. but what exactly did he go? a detail. he dodged 11 times. for the sake of transparency of your own actions. when did you hold the beach? did you go on holiday? interested in what they are. what date did you go? i made to what date the holiday foreign secretary said. i think your own personal transparency is important. what date 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 leak 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 in rapid taliban advances that 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 and his own party. many of whom have subbed enough to nissan, and arguably never know more about the country than he does. when was it also in a foreign minister way to a 2nd? went to becca. i'm not sure i'd have to check if you'd like to know. the busiest seems particularly reading because high commerce was recently in his best ranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent. and it seems to be

a route the work screen, the effectually, from germany. tell her to stop the us from retreating from africa. don, going a role declining phone calls from counterparts and literally putting you had in the sound won't make the situation old problem disappear on the comments weren't let him forget that. who is take response to the helpline and the email address 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 for the, you know, just purely transparency. we got 3 types of cases. they melting away to get, frankly, and countries that didn't use 3 question question on the surface. this looks like a friend you've planning on on grunz. 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 off on neighboring countries of clothes that borders to not to mention the numbers of british national. phil, how will they guess how or even will they constant numbers remain, 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, talking to the age old man tries to us remains our closest allies, of course. so you can follow the us and assuming the asked on government could keep the taliban at bay and didn't prepare for the west. as every government should,

but does this make robert writer and john forest johnson have a leg to stand on? when rob's 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 politician, my whole opinion of the government is not very high. and as a dominic rob, so behavioral thing is appalling. i'm just sure that she doesn't know what's going on the site actually. i paid 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. and 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. in the come on, the weekly art team set on

a spectacular voyage to the north pole on board of russian, mister icebreaker, more sites and scenes from moorhead for the i 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 often very dramatic. developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk i think what your mind indeed gets up again with a great decision over the last 30 years. it's. it was the 1st decision which did

not follow the course of the event and history. what was an attempt to change the course? and the biggest task or the statement is to contradict history is to change the historical part from the national foreign policy and what actually july them did the ah, okay, let's go back with a developing story. this sunday, heavy gunfire has been reported in the capital of the west african nation of guinea . military vehicles are also patrolling the city streets according to local media, mutinous, special forces, soldiers arrested the country president, along with

a number of other top ranking officials. the crew leader reportedly dissolved the government, unclosed old boarders authorities to claim the presidential guard, manage defend off the attack. guinea, which has a long history of military coups, saw a violent unrest following the presidential election left a tobar with protesters accusing the president of usurping his office of 3. change the constitution allowing himself to run for a 3rd term. okay, it is time to go north way up north and look at some mesmerizing frozen landscape plan. sally arctic nights, as our correspondent got on board with some intrepid travellers to the top of the club, were on board a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north thought. the ice breakers main job is to guide tankers through rushes, frozen northern seas. but in the summer, when it's downtime the ship carries tours to the north pole,

the vessel is large and heavy. it takes to tug both to pull it out from its moorings and were 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 ships, 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 with them the arctic again line 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 bose, the gym, basketball court, restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar. given a swimming pool filled with salty water, you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let step in dark habit. though nothing fancy. why it has everything we need. we've found a couple of big deck in one of the drawers. there were minor of how rocket and get in the ocean. the room has why look, it even has a humidifier and it also has its tv, but only 2 channels. one shows 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 the digital entertainment that you will get on board. but you can always gaze in the window and enjoy using our new

now it's time to meet the captain. a tall, handsome man who likes to smoke is 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. you can effectively call the ship's wheel, the rudder, and it has automatic steering, which holds the ship's course. of course. so this is something like an auto pilot, right? nice axiom of the bill. that's quite an auto pilot. auto pilot is what keeps an aircraft in 3 dimensions, whereas on a ship it's just to shut up. i mean, if i turn the rudder than it was, it was just a new course. the vessel will turn and adjust to a new steady cause. and this is what happens on a lower deck. every time the captain adjusts the course. the helm sets the large pistons in motion, which turns the ship left or right. the we were on the bridge interview and 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 white. they have these beautiful to watch sheet. 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 allowing for the ice trembling camp initially, when the ship you

might think data icebreaker, ramsey, i, but it actually rides upon it 1st and then crushes down word with all the mind. and that's one. the propellers come into play. they help chop the small pieces painting the way forward, watching the ship break, the ards, and push drawing. trying to decide is mesmerized. it's really 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 isn't extreme just under 0 degrees celsius. unlike me, veteran polar explorer who we interviewed on the deck even refused to put his hat on the prison. 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 spikes frequently at the north pole. it's warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or beforehand. it means the pole of coal does not coincide with an actual geographical walk. on the 3rd day we saw our 1st polar bear. we've taken a nap on an ice floor before we woke 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 order for attacking human. and you see it live in the arctic is no picnic can feed is in short supply for these animals and a polar bear will go after anything that's moving. is there a time even for you? what a lot of people the ship really missed is good asleep midnight. but look how bright it is. ah, 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 incense just once per year,

which makes the time of day and irrelevant concert 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 was in the air from here, every direction you look at south. there is nobody about us. we are literally on top of the world. i don't know. let me say it again. we are on top of the word, so we're getting the mind blowing. if you want to know what time it is, it's basically wherever you want to play, by the way,

all the way from the mainland to show you all of the strong arming together at the top or at the bottom just like longitude as we determine time in the planet, so at the north or south pole, it's all the time zones and none of them the same time, no time, no other people just the down las frozen desert. it was most real experience in my life. well, until this happened in the order in north pole after all, and only had 2 people made in here. when on top of the world go it in the job job like each magical in this place. to me personally,

is that you exist within one dimension for the world around the special case time with the rhythm of all the people who are close ones friends relative to scaffolding different less weight. because if you're in one dimension with some alone time, one could look at how we lived on the right or wrong deal with the rush gun reporting for our teeth from the north pole. the

ah ah ah, ah ah ah, psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work. the problem is, in the long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant

to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines, any up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible. can pills so of all ills? or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like i was just scared, scare little girl of 24. and like i didn't have to be so complicated the me the me ah hello, welcome to walter part.
