i'll see you then the me the, the, the, the, the in the store is the trade, the week, the us and the 20 minutes campaign in afghanistan, leaving the country in the hands of the same terrorist group. they vowed to defeat a generation ago, and as a parting act, retreated, american forces detroit key equipment, all the helicopters and there are a lot of them that were abandoned the was, have been cut various various electrical blogs removed. yeah. the holding a return to the tunnel bonds and it's supposed to celebrate the us troll with the

proofs white flag flown across the country. as joe biden approval, racing things denila. look at how the us administration is trying to salvage the image or the disastrous pool out on the british foreign secretary as grilled by m. p. 's of have humbling of the crisis and why he was relying on a page when cobble fell. when did you for holding? we'll be teaching gordon holiday. what he did, that's what i made a holiday for him. secretary who said, i think the own personal transparencies reports and what i

launching on international. this is the weekly. thank you very much for joining us . next week saw the u. s. military conclude, as long as ever was leaving of got his son to the fate of the same parent group. washington overthrew. 20 years ago. the remaining american troops led the country in the dead of night early on august 31st, which was the deadline day. the ton of and welcomes the withdrawal with celebry tree gun shells and fireworks rise to be lost to us miniature aircraft to come from campbell airport. before they left soldiers disabled, whatever equipment they could, which you can see now in one marines via on saturday rod count, the one to see for himself was left behind in the rush to get out. these place looks very different to what we arrive 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 said, there's a lot of work to do these evacuation that the pentagon cools 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 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 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 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 use the, the dog crate. the cause such as the on lot. you have the get many of the dogs live behind by americans. but they weren't locked in crates as we had be led to believe they, they were let go. at the dentist, someone before the father, 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 to dogs to get out from the specific places. but our teens or officials 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 the facility for them and what they need to give them all we can say that they are safe. these may be just what the taliban needs. a p r, stuck collect the dogs, hadn't 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 abandon 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 new to the vending machines. why? perhaps boredom, baths hate. you don't then the 20 year war edge, even a humiliating evacuation without feeling a little bit of more. i'd get you on a couple of gotten this done over in the us. the bodies of soldiers killed in the

recent attack on combo f. hold returned to the f one space. searching service members were among a 170 people killed in the city side bombing. the oldest of the soldiers all just says he, one among those paying their respects for the us president. they chaotic scenes and i've got to stand have head joe biden. hard in the ratings is only 43 percent of americans approving of his performance. according to a new poll. those all his was numbers since he started his job down 6 percent after the kale to withdraw from campbell. so with a p r campaign allowed administration to win back the hearts and minds of voters. we've been finding out areas in the law, us soldier to leave afghanistan, major general chris donahue, of the 2nd one seems to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or jay to pink. who nice thing i do know is, is definitely going to be

a movie because now the robot of rocket installing has been lost by the us. and it's 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 there. and if it has pay on, do it in iraq green, send out into the well, the media will go out without question. say stuff like this, the last american soldier to leave afghanistan. and us noted to me that the last american troops left dana, stan, i mean, come on, you think this is really bizarre? 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 all this long. his case ought to be confused with k pop or

special case on how he ordered asteroids whenever they pop on what it might be. hard to believe, given their general accuracy for their drugs, you still need special 4th time on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game civilians who are in dade, hey, it's monday us turns trying reporter la killed 10 members of one family. most of them children, the pentagon says the target was a vehicle carrying several suicide bombers from ices. k, a local splintered group of atlantic states who are planning an attack in cobble. the us military has confounded, carried our best strike saying it resulted in secondary explosions. central command said it was aware of the reports of civilian casualties and had launched an investigation and it all adds to the death toll over the course of

a 2 decade long war that's come at a devastating cost. i want to tell it now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah, and isis k still exist in our growing and gamma stand. and eventually they acquire these weapons. ah, the

majority of every member behind me is a veteran. we now have americans stuck enough 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 humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the half the population need be monetary and a system one and 3 don't know where the next meal will come from. the u. k. had the 2nd largest military prevalence in afghanistan and the british foreign secretary has been grilled over some major missteps. during the withdrawal, all of these, he's shot edwards darcy, half the story. pair in the house of westminster. it only feels like

a matter of time until the foreign secretary will be given the. the incompetence of the nato was rural is munition. but dominic robin fountain, self, undefined. for his disappearing cobble south. he was on holiday for what exactly did he go? a detail. he dodged 11 times for the seats of conspiracy vehicle nations. when did you put holiday will be did you go and holiday? didn't? what did they, or what did you go? i made what date was holiday foreign secretary of state. i think your own personal transparencies reports. what date and holiday. so you can run, but you can't hide in this touch your parents. he 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 song was on the brink of collapse. piece talks a stall on the u. s. nato withdrawal is resulting in rapid taliban advances. that

could lead to fall of cities claps of security forces. telephone return to power, masters placement 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 a foreign minister went to his phone, went to bed. i'm not sure i'd have to check if you'd like to know. the busiest seems particularly random because high come us was recently started arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent. and it seems to be around the work screen effectively from germany. tell her to have her stop. the us from a tracy from african is don, going a role declining phone calls from counterparts and literally putting your head in the sand won't make the situation old problem disappear on the comments. we're let him forget who he's taking the helpline and the email address in your department,

not even being. 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. just purely transparency. we got the 3 types of cases. they melting away and frankly, unconscious 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 counterparts lead and head to the region. but it's a bit late now, considering all western forces have left us on neighboring countries have closed that borders to not to mention the numbers of british national still stuck their how will they get out or even will they, new numbers remain,

but we think that they would be in the low hundreds. why 100 she mean $110.00 sort of area or do you mean to 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 cuz i would let me somewhere between 10500. so let me explain one k nationals. so let me explain why it's difficult. and the same grilling dominate. rob, talk to the age old man tries a us remains our closest allies, of course. so you can follow the us and assuming the african government could keep the taliban up bay, and didn't pass to the west as every government should. but does this make rob a writer and jog forest johnson, have a leg to stand on. when rob incompetent 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 pinion, the government is not very high. and as the dominant, rob, i'm so behavioral things appointing. i'm just sure that she doesn't know what site actually. i paid it on the batch. i mean to, to be a british, but someone gives you 4 days or 5 days to clear out a country, go much chances and everyone, however, you seem to be more, more concerned with his own in depression that he is making on the world. well, that's not what, what's going on in the world around him. having gunfire has been reported in the capital of the west african nation of gain. a military vehicles are also patrolling the city. treat according to local media, meet in a special forces, soldiers arrested, the country president, along with

a number of other top ranking officials. the coolie that has reportedly dissolved the government and closed on board. as authorities though claimed the presidential god manish defense of that talk. guinea, which has a long history of military coups, so violent and rest, following the presidential election last october, with protests as accusing alpha combe de abuser by his office of the he changed the constitution following, allowing rather himself to run for a sad term. i now assigned to head to one of the most inhospitable places on the plan of the frozen north, where our correspondent join some intrepid travellers were on board, a russian nuclear icebreaker bound for the north hall. 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 the 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 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 lot 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. in i use the

50 years of victory, both the gym, basketball court restaurant convention, whole flash disco bar. even a swimming pool filled with salty, sea water. technically you can swim in the arctic ocean without leaving the icebreaker. let the 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. now reminder of 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 shows you the route and gives you the view from the ship's 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 is vibe on the bridge while steering the mighty bat, so forward. at the other 20 miles. it's a rudder, as i understand, through a move through all more than you can effectively cool 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? tony's 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 and then if i turn the rudder or that was it was that was just a new course. investor will turn in the just to a new steady course. 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. we're right. 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 white. they have these beautiful took wash 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 breaker allowing for the way of doing. it definitely can't miss it when the ship hits the ice.

you might think that an icebreaker ramsey, i would actually write the potted 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, paving the way forward watching the ship break yards and push dry and trying to decide as mesmerized. it's weirdly both calming and intimidating at the same parts of the ships start to cover with ice as we get closer to the north pole. 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 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 spikes frequently at the north pole. it's

warmer than let's say in tango or mac on or. and it means the pole of coal does not coincide with an actual geographical walk. on the 3rd day, we saw our 1st polar bear who was taking a nap on an ice floor 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 aren't in order 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 the ship really missed is good asleep it's 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. those to me. so there's a from here, every direction you look at 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 getting the mind. if you want to know what time that, that's gonna work. whatever you want. i meant, by the way, i tried all the way from the mainland to show you all of the strong arming together

at the top or at the bottom just like really longitude we determined time in the blood. so at the north and for the south pole, all the time zones, and none of them 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 in the order in the north full after all, and only had 2 people made it here on top of the world. so i'm going the 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 rhythm of all the people who are close ones friends relative to the different well, unless in this place, if you're in one dimension with nick, you have some alone time. one could look at how we live on the right or wrong with the rush gun reporting for our teeth from the north pole. ah,

me the civic leg around the world, expedition by 1000 miles round the clock and give it to the dead. calm as every country close by it with the crew. gavin's food and one or 2 to chat for a little got everybody down in the rear. almost no food. no. what about that? only give them up. so somebody stuck in the cove in your

living like the fema home, but in the 21st century. 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 on 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 the in the me

ah, hello, welcome to want to part for the most part, living in history for people is a bit like swimming in water for fish. both species are too far side has 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 to try john to stop with. 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 deliver a wealth order. it's about a chef. 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 will be very specific, very individual for each and every country. and that in itself presents one of the hardest problems in foreign affairs today. why is that wilson due to even though

the state of the relatively similar institutionalized public organisms are each of them represents its own unique position in terms of the geo politics, historian, experience, and economics, initial economic possibilities. and these 3 factors there form how the stays, develop and holiday react to the outside challenges and opportunities call the behave from the perspective of the 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 honesty. so, and what you have not mentioned in your introductory remark that there is chance changes in the words the influence each state's.
