the ah, only after a week gone to the last us evacuation light left off counting on around a 100. the american citizens were main stranded in the country. despite the president boynton hailing to pull out an extraordinary success, a series of leagues uncomfort messages from the us military reveal the panic of the withdrawal with troops unable to rescue fellow citizens. we spoke to a special forces. so just to shad encrypted tech, our biggest problem getting people out actually in the us government systems actually not the band. i know that sounds crazy,

but the biggest problem is not valid in italy, man. and actually it's in some cases of actually help us out. refugee is arrested in berlin office having 2 people, just as you are a braces for a new influx of migrant from the war torn country. ah, you are watching audience national. we are live on the russian capital from everyone here in the newsroom and welcome to our new getting started. the white house has admitted that around a 100 americans are still in afghanistan on almost a week after the last u. s. evacuation flight took off from cobble airport. this comes despite the biden administration's claim that the withdrawal was a resounding success. we're in touch with all of them who we've identified

on a regular basis. we're going to find ways to get them the ones that want to leave to get them out of afghanistan. what happened on august 31st, as we transitioned from a, a, a military mission to a diplomatic mission to get the remaining americans and the afghan or afghan allies, the so called s i v's out of the country. and we continue to work on that since sunday, a group of us citizens on off on interpreters have been stranded in the northern town. city of maza is sharice off to the town about denied them permission to take off from the local airport articles. despite into groups pledge to allow foreign nationals and ask our citizens with trouble authorization to leave the country. when the meantime, the new lights been shut on the last minute scrambled to pull out us citizens and a series of unconfirmed nicks masters from the military. now those tax was disclosed by my cool young. he's a war correspondent. i'm form a special forces soldier. he spoke to us and shut details off his conversation with

a high ranking us all the connell that colonel was not physically present, but he was in contact major general chris donahue who, who was the combatant commander on the ground. and so that colonel wasn't physically there, in fact he was very frustrated. you can see from that tax, there was more tax those while he was really demonstrating a lot of frustration at one point you said 10, you ran the gate. in other words, had it with the car and get in. i mean, he wanted to rescue those people and you know, he, i hope that his tags don't cause him any problems. he's the kind of general we need . no, he didn't want to follow those orders. he wanted to get them out. we had 3 jets on the ground that were private jets that were paid for by a friend of mine's team. his name is rick clay, and his team had paid for 3 jets. they were on the ground civilian jets waiting. and the us military was not letting even civilian americans with passports, american passports, our biggest problem of getting people out actually is the u. s. government. it's

actually not the todd man. i know that sounds crazy, but the biggest problem is not valid in italy. man, i'm actually it's in some cases of actually helped us. you can't even make up the stuff. this is like something for a weird movie. so taliban is saying that us forces, happy to come and get them, or call us to let them through. nobody can make up the stuff. i don't care who's fault it is the department of state or the military. it's all of your fault. you didn't let them in period they were at the beginning. then of course, the next day we haven't pentagon in the white house. they're going know, you know, all american citizens who wanted to get in could have gotten in. but they couldn't actually make it to the airport and were saying, excuse my language, i don't know if i can say this on russian tv. they definitely were at the gate period. some strong emotions. well, believe message is also claim, but at least $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to enter a couple international airport. something apparently also beaten and assaulted in

the foot to get in. but military quantities apparently refused to help us generals apart and new us. it was stuck outside but still wouldn't grant them access some even proposed paying out the governments like you pay, for example, to help left americans. a one at top general at mark milly was singled out by soldiers on the ground as making the call to not open the gate, but even off to images of the chaos that call up what a much the u. s. kept up the narrative, but the situation was under total control. what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create a safe passage for all civilians, including the afghan, to work for us to the airport, to get them on planes and get them out. i think they're responsible, say americans are stranded, they are not. we are committed to bringing americans who want to come home homes completed. one of the biggest err lists in history,

extraordinary success. and this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. well, our creation, michael young, wrote a scathing letter to the all of these high command, highlighting some of the missteps. specifically, the fact that u. s. nationals were bound to not the gates while 3 empty jets for a paid for by volunteers waiting for them. we reached out to the pentagon and they declined to comment on the allocations. now you believe the lack of openness from the pentagon has made matters was that's what americans are saying. we leave no one behind, right. and right now we've seen the military leave people behind the gate. but it's, it's a sin to say, well, i'm just going to live because it's humiliating. so we just have to leave behind and lie about it. know, we're going to try to get them out and we're getting a lot of them out right now. the military in the department state are in our way at

this point. so in addition to leaving people behind, they are stopping us from getting them out. now, department state isn't our way where we want the military and the government to get out of our way. we don't need their help anymore. i mean, now that we're getting success as civilians, because you know, we can do it. we don't need them, we're faster or more efficient. and we don't have the bureaucracy and we're just smarter than they are. still to come. this was american to quit african. it's donna, florida to dyna nuts, held by to supporters to head for the exits. find out how that turned out in a few minutes while life and crime is under renewed script, me in germany, also an african refugees stab to 2 people in berlin on saturday, leaving them with severe injuries. this comes as the leaders of all john sob, discuss ways of inviting a new influx of migrants, his ortiz, peter oliver with more not afghans coming to europe are very much in focus right

now. and this is particularly being highlighted here in germany, following terrible events that took place on saturday in a district of berlin, which a 29 year old man from afghanistan has been arrested following the stopping to death of a 58 year old woman at 66 year old man was also seriously wounded in that a talk. what we know so far about the 29 year old is that when being reported in local media, that the attack was prompted following him being upset that this woman had been working as a gardener. what we know from the police is that they had no information on him as a potential link to extremism. before this had happened, however, we do understand that he was receiving psychiatric treatment. he arrived here in germany in 2016 and has been arrested on suspicion of murder grovee to the salt and dangerous assault. this case involving a man from afghanistan has more focus when we look at the potential for increasing

numbers of people from afghanistan looking to seek refuge here in europe, survosity, and courts. the austrian chancellor has said europe may not be that welcoming towards people coming from afghanistan and fight. previously he said that his country would take no more refugees on his watch. now he saying that it's nearby countries too. i've got this done. that should be looking to take in refugees were absolutely convinced that the people living african is done should be cared for in neighboring countries. and it shouldn't reach a point where these people set out for europe. diversity and courts with speaking alongside the serbian prime minister, alexander church, could said that you repeat leaders would not be as welcoming as they had been 6 years ago. there's been a rethink among a lot of european officials and heads of state. and thankfully, jimmy's position today is different to the one they held back in 2015. well,

back in 2015, it was german chancellor angle america who led the calls saying that germany could, and europe could accept refugees from the syrian crisis. 6 years on the message has changed somewhat. and what we're seeing is particularly strong pushback from countries like greece and italy, as well as countries like serbia and austria saying that europe cannot take any more refugees. and that they are prepared to step up when it comes to accepting people from afghanistan. what we have seen in the 6 years following the message from anglo merkel that germany could help. and jim, you could take people in with the europe migration and refugee and asylum policies, while they haven't been unified in the slightest and their policies that look like they're going to be put to the test and coming months. well, as the tunnel bonded false to cross f gone stone, you might remember that the countries former president beat a hasty retreat. ashcroft connie became president back in 2014 after an election

denounced as rife with corruption. he allegedly stolen with $170000000.00 as he fled. we spoke to john spend walton, who investigates, had gone in the background on his ties with the u. s. government, the lead interests in washington, and specifically on wall street and silicon valley. they cultivate these elite figures in countries around the world, especially in the global south to serve their interests for very clear reasons. those interests are pecuniary, their financial, they want money, they want access natural resources. they want control over pipelines and things like that. so i sure have gunny as a fellow member of the ally who was born into a wealthy family and a lead family who was educated in the west who lived a half of his life in the united states and had us citizenship and worked at the world bank, he was incorporated into this new liberal ideology that says that the solution to all of life's problems are market are freeing the market. i should have gone,

he was cultivated by these elite interests. just like one why you go who wants to privatize all of the oil and minerals in venezuela. and just like many of these other figures who go through what you could call regime change inc, the u. s. regime change industry to create these figures. who eventually will try to come to power and then we'll privatize everything in the country and allow western corporation specifically us corporations to exploit them. so i, jo, biden's ratings might be in free fall, but a florida dinah have found its popularity, which new heights off to denying service to the president, supporters and creevy. there are so many farms that even run out of food. oh, the me, if you look for and continue to support and stand behind the workplace,

you'd have to corrupt administration currently and happy in the white house that was completed and the depth was service men and women. and again, it's them please. thank your business elsewhere. ah, me, at this point i'm hearing a lot of people calling me asking me for permission to put that same sign on their business doors. and i think that's freaking great. because more people need to stand up more. people need to make the president be accountable for what's happening. the snap political is not political. i don't care who you voted for, but at this point you need to find your president responsible and you need to hold them accountable and he should be the commander in chief and not hide behind the counter and not wait for someone to instruct him on what to do because he is a present in the spring world. the

ah, that i've also gotten a lot of support from the military community, especially. i'm very grateful for me. i think fantastic. we came all the way we came 30 miles to be here just for the support. i think it's a free country and she can do whatever she wants. very good. i fully support it. we've came, came up today from new smyrna beach, just to support and really like the policy. i agree with the, with the policy and respect to both sides of the politics. ah, phil, i had here with him to get another confederate statutes about to be removed in the

us as warriors, continued that campaign. that story was much more shall break. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, will i live when i would show the wrong one

just don't move out date because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the drug started as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was a competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head

and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening with the welcome back. now special forces in the african nation of guinea, all claiming to have toppled the president and dissolved the government that was heavy on fire outside the presidential palace on some day with minute true vehicles patrolling the streets the local major, all things sold to have arrested the head of state, along with top ranking officials, but the defense ministry disputes sat saying a crew has been prevented annoying. us forces a walking to restore law and order guinea, which has a long history of military uprising for violent unrest following a disputed presidential election. and that was last october the

different story school district in california has suspended a teacher accused of rod to closing his students with an p for propaganda off the investigative group project veritax released and undercover video 180 days revolutionary. how do you do that? how do you i probably that's as far left as you can find why or. ready why it can take up on like i get to say i have an antique flag on my roof on my wall cleaned about that and made it to make it faster to i don't, i don't really know. maybe you shouldn't be aligning with the value added medical. so we're just throwing up 50. that was capital point walks at a california high school. after that clip from project, our taxi was placed on leave for violating political action guidelines and local

authority. say they now plan to fire him while to the video, going to apologize saying that teachers should not be sharing the personal beliefs . but for many parents there wasn't enough and they express that outreach out of school board meeting. this is evil, it's darkness. it is hell. and these are criminals for abusing our children. maybe we should get a class action lawsuit, endangerment of a child. yeah, you guys would have done nothing because you did nothing. when the students come wayne, you stand by this man preaching and people and communism in our classroom. disgrace . this is this too much, this man being fired is not everything that we want. we need our right back is there, and it is your responsibility. to know what he's teaching and it's been going on for years and you will allow that to happen. you're going to be held accountable. this is because of you, came gabriel guy is a symptom,

not the sickness. when we got him from legal on this to mom, she says a better background checks on me to before hiring educators typically in the public school system. i mean, we're seeing over and over these, the public school teachers that are aligning the very, very dangerous ideology allowed to, to children. i mean, he wasn't hiding his belief. if he would, that obvious about about his, his belief than what he was doing. i guarantee that students were already talking to their parents and their parents were already complaining to the district to the school board and trying to get something done and nothing was ever done. i think more of that is going to come out because in the public schools is different for private schools than it is for public schools. private schools have a lot more leeway and how they want to interview people. every employer these days looks that social media looks up what you say. they have a right to choose, not to hire you, but in the government, you know, they are supposed to do that more in government positions like

a public school teacher. and so they should be looking into these accounts and seen that what would starling of be that number of public school teachers that have such outrageous extreme. and let me believe that continue to get hired off the a long running legal battle. all the u. s. state of virginia has decided to remove a start to off confederate general robot, eat the huge monument with why the scene is a symbol of racial injustice. and it's one of many stop. she's been targeted one across the us. since the police killing of george floyd laughed him. the me i

choose choose. ah, i choose well that way for statute removal as being resisted by one group of academics who have launched initiative called history reclaimed and we spoke to some of the

members. history is such a powerful weapon. we've seen this in the last 150 years throughout europe. the politicians regularly use history because it's why, of mobilizing popular opinion to why boosting the support in a way of getting the population to act and says wives and also uses the why, of silencing people. a particular vision of history is presented. and if you disagree with that scene, the mob will be asked you, but what is important is to hold people to account. so it's not good enough just to say, well, someone's worse than something, it must be true. increasingly, we have to draw down, find out what are the sources, what's the evidence for decline, the pocket leverage that might suggest something different. we need to examine this rather than just accept everything at face value. gauging and politics can make our society better. then we can find ways to improve things. and instead, what we've got the focus is on changing the representations, changing, pictures,

changing statues, changing the curriculum, changing the historical narrative is sort of everybody's story, is treated as equally valid and constantly changing. then we actually lack capacity to take a long you back and project wrong view, food becomes much smaller, it shrinks and that's not healthy for any kind of didn't democratic society caused by floss, hey, and we'll get to this all, but we're going to had to u k, now full, the latest episode of going on the ground. enjoy and have a great day. the

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 with me. ah i will the

join me every 1st bit on the alex silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the the was time action or to senior what's going underground, the team and i are away at the moment, but we'll be back for a new series on september the 8th until then we'll be playing some of your favorite

episodes of this season coming up on this show over the past week, so called mainstream media has been waking up to the potential extinction of humanity. after landmark, i dcc report issued a warning of hell on earth because of climate change. while this, while a new cold war ratchets up the chances of extinction, but another man made existential threat, nuclear annihilation. so is humanity's intelligence and collective knowledge, also the route of its own destruction, and the only beneficiaries of billionaires looking to escape the planet in private rockets. joining me now is renowned philosopher offer a c. grayling, whose new book, the frontiers of knowledge, explodes, the progress, barriers and future of humanity when it comes to enlightenment. thank you so much, professor grayling for coming back gone. if anyone thinks that they don't need to read this book, you imply that they have their own themselves to be to blame for not being blown to bits by a pentagon in the nation drone. why? why is this not as it's eric? well, because i'm here. i can quote,

the and to graph enforced always used in his novels. only connect that if you're able to connect things together a bit, make better sense of them, your much more likely to make good decisions about what to do. you know, there's a wonderful anecdote towed about the great for the steven weinberg nobel prize winning physicist who when ronald reagan was contemplating the anti ballistic missiles up in space. you may remember that kind of defense that was installed on satellites. weinberg said, it doesn't bother me. the president reagan doesn't know any science, but it doesn't bother me if he doesn't know any philosophy and history. and of course, the point was precisely that if you don't have context, don't put scientific development in the context of it and see how science is changing history. if you don't do that 2 way, joining up then you're going to get into trouble. well, little, or in fact, you know, i was cradled on the enforced his knee. that's how old i am. pretty we're. but i,

i do the, with the quote from using which you don't use in the book when he said, i, maybe it's apocryphal, that all he saw himself was finding a smooth pebble or a pretty shell, the great ocean of truth before him. central to this book is what the more we know the less we know. yes, i mean, it's really very striking fact about the history of knowledge, if you'd like, until the beginning of modern times, that is in the 16th and 17th century people fault as an increase of knowledge meant diminishment of ignorance and moving you the last few weeks are involved in place one day we will know everything, we will understand everything. we have a complete picture of the universe and we will have a grip on the truth. and of course, this is inspired by the model of knowledge, truth and certainty, which is provided by the great religions because the great clinicians say that they have the final place story about everything. what's happened since the scientific

revolution, many of the 17th century and everything is funded for mashes at the more we discover, the more we find out, the more knowledge we accumulate. the more questions that prompted. and it's been like occupy an island which is growing in the ocean, and the big island gets longer, the shoreline of ignorance becomes, and we realized more and more and more how little we know give you one very striking example of that. if you think of the enormous explosion of scientific knowledge, particle physics, quantum theory at one end of the scale, cosmetology at the other end of the scale, our understanding of the universe just in the last 100 years, huge explosion of knowledge about that. and what does it torture its torture? we have access to less than 5 percent of the mass density of the universe. less than 5 percent. the physical reality is accessible to scientific investigation. more than 95 percent of that didn't matter. doc energy no idea what it is, we can see some.
