refugees arrested in berlin, stabbing 2 people just as europe races when you input for migrants from the i good evening you watching the internet. the white house is knowledge that around 100 americans are still in afghan stan holmes. the week after the evacuation ended, and while the administration grapples with the full of a series of left messages have shed light on the military failed efforts to get every us citizen out of the country, an american citizens. yes, all of them. we are effing, abandoned american citizens. those texts which haven't been verified were disclosed by michael walker, respondent and form a special forces. soldiers who spoke to his sharing details of his conversation
2:02 pm
with the high ranking us army officer. 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 and other were intended with the car and get in. i mean, he wanted to rescue those people and you know, and he, i hope that his tag 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
2:03 pm
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 tally be on this thing that us forces at the 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 have the 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. mike leon also released conversations with contractors who are in cobble. one of them wrote for john martin's, including women and children, were unable to enter the airport. so claimed some were beaten and assaulted in
2:04 pm
their efforts to get in. i didn't that he was asking senior officer for clarification on how they could be helped as they faced the terrifying weight. but his command is prime refused to step in. now the contractor wrote us generals new, their citizens was stuck outside the airport but still wouldn't grant access. he proposed paying of the governments such as the k to help left americans and concern to general mountain really, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff had made the call to not open the gate. can you confirm? general milly was mentioned by name as the leader that is condemning them to death . yes, i can confirm that mentioned by name. the pictures emerging from those conversations is in stark contrast to the narrative coming from the by demonstration. they continually stressed the situation was under control and no american citizens will be left behind. 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,
2:05 pm
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 listed history. extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals evacuation michael, the only scathing lead to the army high command, highlighting some missteps. civically, the fact us nationals were abandoned the gates for quote 3 d. jets paid for by volunteers. we're waiting for them. we are spend comes clarity and they declined to comment on the allegations. don't believe the lack of transparency has made matters worse. 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
2:06 pm
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, we're more efficient, and we don't have the bureaucracy and we're just smarter than they are. in the rush to leave, afghanistan, us forces left plenty of loot behind here, pictures that were taken by our correspondent, bro garcia and abandoned bass and campbell. as you can see, the 2 metals and backpacks actually found american tools, knives, and electronics. we spoke to bruce marx, attorney, former pennsylvania state republican senator, who shed his thoughts on the us withdraw. i don't mean to be unnecessarily critical
2:07 pm
of president my but i thought it was a historic tobacco. the information that he provided to beginning that kimball wasn't going to you know, fall, and then it fell within a week or so. the apparent lack of preparation to have the americans ready to go and closing the military airport, which i still don't understand why you would close the military airport there until everybody was evacuated. no, i don't think it was an extraordinary success at all. and we of course lost, i think, at least 13 american soldiers who were killed as part of this hurry up and get out process. so unfortunately, it wasn't a very high point in american history. i think it, at some point we realized that the mission in afghanistan was not going to be successful. now wasn't worth american lives to stay there. but it didn't mean that we couldn't have an orderly plan to get the americans. and of course, the afghan, it's afghan angel supported us. they always say the interpreters, but there are many more. these are people who put their lives at risk for america
2:08 pm
and also for other countries that were there. so it shouldn't, it shouldn't, it should have been done much differently. and let's not forget, joe biting was vice president for 8 years. you know, when obama was the president and we lost a lot of lives during that time, president trump had a plan. and in the last, i think over a year, i think was a year and a half that week. americans were in ghana, stand one president, trump was president, we didn't lose a single life. so i don't think he deserved particular credit for for the withdrawal spy, use of wrangling, lengthy delays. construction whole host of us sanctions. the huge no stream to gasp hotline projects was complete. the fun part of the part which will pump rushing gas to germany has been welded into place tests are expected to be within days. his all europe correspond to all of the final piece of the pipe work has be welded into
2:09 pm
place that pipe number 200858 quite the jake. so when you think about it that way, also quite the cheek. so when you take into account the $11000000000.00 price tag for this pipeline, all it's left to do now is a final link cope between the end of the pipeline that originated in russia and is coming in towards germany from danish waters has to be finally linked up with the part of the pipeline, it's coming from the german shore. once it's done estimate it takes around 3 mom certificate ation for safety checks to be carried out. then gas should be able to be flowing through this pipeline by the end of this year. now it happened being easy, routing for north stream to it was not liked at all by the donald trump administration in the united states. not really being liked by the joe biden administration either . but trump put in place swinging sanctions against the project that caused delays
2:10 pm
. and cost millions upon millions in well money that was being essentially flitted away. joe biden removed the sanctions against the north stream to company in may of this year. that's really allowed things to move pace towards the finish line where we're at. but it doesn't mean that the u. s. is happy with it. he said, time and time again, the u. s. president. that is that he doesn't like it. the secretary of state, anthony blink, and says he doesn't like it either. ukraine also not happy kiev is concerned that this could be used to could ukraine out of europe, gas transit infrastructure. what russia is said is they actually want to keep gas moving across ukraine and use node stream to because there's demand enough for both routes to continue being used, as well as the route that goes across deliveries on poland as well to bring your rushing gas into europe, it does look like we all set to see this pipeline in process in full working order
2:11 pm
by the end of the year. it's a big job. 1230 kilometers worth of pipe that's been laid. it will provide 55000000000 cubic meters of russian gas to europe. that's roughly enough to power 26000000 european homes and it was boiling in the british parliament to day and peace returned from the summer break. armed with countless questions, performance divorce johnson over his handling of the gun this time, crisis correspondents in london. these are the house details those half hazard. chaotic scenes of the western withdrawal from afghanistan continues to have political reverberations in all of the nato member states. and the united kingdom, being a senior partner in our lives is know there for many taking a forest. johnson for his government perceived miss handling of the crisis bars. johnston strongly coming out fighting, defending the case record over the past few weeks and months evacuating people from
2:12 pm
afghanistan are just africans, but also people from other countries as well. but also defending the record of the nato alliance when it comes to the lack of any terror attacks that were planned from afghanistan over the past 20 years. one of the most spectacular operations in our country posts will military history. no terrorist attack against this country or any of our western allies has been launched from afghanistan for 20 years. now, critics would point to those comments and say that that's all well and good to. there are no guarantees going forward as to whether or not any tara groups will be able to re gather enough kind of star or launch attacks from them. but as far as those critics can, the government is full and short of any type of planning for the post occupation phase in afghanistan and kiss solver is one of those critical voices pointing out
2:13 pm
that from the time the doha agreement was signed until the eventual withdrawal that was a whole 18 month, not there was simply no excuse for the type of chaotic scenes that we witnessed. the government doesn't have a plan to get everybody out. cobbler port remains close to international flights. safe passage has not been created to africans, neighbors, and whatever. the prime minister says today, there is no international agreement on resettlement of african refugees. we have a prime minister incapable international leadership just when we needed it. yeah, i know, you know, against the backdrop. you've also been seeing reports of some africans were actually removed from the flight up couple airport where just hours earlier bottom of that huge form and say can play some one labor m p 's saying that some amongst his constituents had family members who had not exact faith before them,
2:14 pm
the families of 2 of my constituents, including a 7 month old child, was forcibly removed from flight and thrown out of cobble into the street where the seat of the suicide bombing. i was before. mister speaker, i absolutely feel yes and i want to ask the prime minister, how on earth would this potentially fit decision allow perhaps even, even after i lived these, my friends were minister sucked, which left and the light and how many objected from the airport into harm's way and just now will be up to 3 to the families that the government has the portal and live until we have no evidence of anybody being pools of flights. but i would ask him, obviously, and if the guy would ask him to,
2:15 pm
to raise it with the right the particular cases directly with, with my right, honorable friends. so bars, tonton, hugely proud of the case effort over the past weeks to evacuate. many, but there are those who say that there are still those left behind who need help migrant crimes under need scrutiny in germany, astern african refugees stamped to people in berlin on saturday, leaving them severely injured. florida said the attack had targeted a woman because he didn't like the fact she was allowed to have a job reported engaged in conversation before pulling out the knife stamping several times in the neck. 66 shell pass by he came to the woman's rescue was then also attacked by the man 29 year old man from afghanistan was arrested. following the incident, his mental health currently being assessed. prosecutors also looking into whether the tent was motivated by islamist ideology. according to press reports, samantha poverty, germany december, 2015. the central office of migration and refugees declared is

summit. the coming be been actually for got placed with us, but it was a very small minority over the years. actually, you know, there's 2 people use the same be good embryos have hundreds if not thousands of lives in that in the and yet they think we must not distinguish that it was really this of which is a great the work that the majority of your, for being ceos in throughout europe is for more than the similarity to lation de la vini in italy, who are the 1st who into abuse censor elation. basically, it confuses that. i to end the obligation of every state to protect its own from tears. special forces in the

african nation of guinea claimed to have captured the president dissolved the government. there was, had begun tara on the presidential palace on sunday with military vehicles patrolling the streets while they come to the defense minister claims. the cue attempt has been fainted like me to sang soldiers arrested the head of states. along with top ranking officials. the state department has condemned thee who sang it may prevent guineas international partners from helping the country. the economic community of west african states has threatened sanctions unless constitutional order is were stores while the african union is quoting for president, con days. immediate release. kenesha has a board with molly in the north, in the saw health region, which is considered one of the poorest in the whole african continent and respond the presence of foreign troops to response is continued across the room for years
2:19 pm
now. with islamist militants flooding the territory let's bring a media political analyst line along all the us condemned the qu in guinea. a surprise. washington is, is commenting rather than just winding the next enough to what happened in the canister. well, this is, this is the question that i have. how is anyone seriously going to be talking about this? and let's just assume that the word cool is never good to have a good thing is a good cool. it always sounds like something which is unlawful and improper and let us put that there. but we right now have the tally bon running rough shod. we have reports of americans being held hostage of every conceivable. been humanity that could possibly be directed towards americans. and yet those are our
2:20 pm
partners. no work will be on this the tale bond, or is our a sensible partner. ok, if that's true. who is anybody to pass any judgment on kenny? what's the difference? mean what a different form of chaos. i mean, this goes without saying, but we are sitting here in this country scratching our head. shane, can this be happening? there has been absolute and complete and total discombobulated of order. is that even a concept do? do you see by my, by my concern or being consistent? speaking of consistency moke is quite consistent. it likes to get involved in any kind of regime changes or conflicts in other countries. do you think you'll be able to resist the opportunity to get involved now that it's in struggling to find
2:21 pm
conflicts to keep you busy? you know, we keep making the same well the same issue, the same mistakes. what is regime change? mean? doesn't regime change imply parents, ethically betterment improvement, you know, free homeless as opposed to regime change. what if i said you were going to change your disease disease right now? i'm going to change that. so you don't have this disease. don't do that. you did well, my weight rate is going to be worse, is going to be better. these, these questions are so plainly obvious, not to mention the vacuum. do you think that right now? anybody is in the position to see know what to see? who would be best able to handle guinea best for its people now? and not to mention, i don't want to get conspiratorial, but i don't know the backstory and who's who, who's paying who and all of that. so right now, we're looking at this horror story. this firestorm among other types of storms in,
2:22 pm
in afghanistan. and the idea that somebody is even passing judgment is, is mind boggling at this point. it's not a french colony anymore guinea. do you think that it's still a french hand in there trying to influence i would think so you're going to be hearing, come talk about the international community, the international. and by the way, let me just ask who is asking for any assistance. i mean this, this may be, i mean i just meet color me naive, but it's anybody asking for assistance, please, would you help us with our qu, or with our reconciliation of our, you know, this is the part that, you know, there are some axiomatic rules that i always thought everybody abided by one is never bobby self in the civil war or anything that even looks like it. we had this thing called vietnam that we learned years ago, and i'm trying to compare that to. but it seems like we just keep repeating the
2:23 pm
same mistakes. so i hope this is just as a citizen, i hope that our involvement remains merely rhetorical. we will give advice, we lend our assistance, but please, let's figure out what is happening in afghanistan 1st, before we lend to the rest of the world, our expertise. i don't appreciate company is always the media political analyst line on my guest. indeed, sir, thank you. little scientist, ne, facing up to 5 years. broad balls in america to being accused of working covertly for the iranian government coming on for sale. it denies the charges have been subjected to relent. the surveillance thousands of his phone calls recorded according to court records. see this dawn of explains strangers getting full access to your cool history can be a person's worst night map yet. that's a reality right now for kathy, a for b,
2:24 pm
as the prosecution is handing over more than 33000 of the political analysts audio recordings to a court recordings of his conversations with friends, family, business partners. there's not one iota propaganda in any of my articles and books . and i have asked the other side to produce one single evidence of propaganda on my partner and they have failed to do so. and you know, this is really a great injustice to me, and my kids are work as a, as a, as a scholar, to publish books that are highly review of being 40 and affairs me that his journals and so on. and to be cornish like this without a shred of evidence for c r b, as is no terrorist. nor did he plan something as dramatic as a federal reserve heist. the prosecution accuses him of failing to register as
2:25 pm
a for an agent, and being a clandestine propaganda to for the rainy and government. the allegedly sought influence the american public and american policymakers for the benefit of his employer. they rainy and government by disguising propaganda, subjective policy, analysis, and expertise. so a political analyst and opinion writer for such outlets as the new york times, for instance, has years of his phone calls, recorded and faces up to 5 years in jail on criminal charges, or failing to declare himself a for an agent. you'd expect the mainstream media machine stir up a hype? well, at least of the proportion it does. whenever russia labels,
2:26 pm
news outlets for an agents. you and other journalists, an independent journalist, continued to be blacklisted. and you have now been just the latest news organization to be deemed a foreign agent. the kremlin has been silencing all forms of defense, often using the foreign agents law to target critical media. medusa, an independent new site, founded by self exiled russian journalists in neighboring latvia. was branded for an agent in april, so all this was over, the russian government demand to add a for an agent disclaimer to the content published by select entities, no present time, no fines. know why it's happening. that compared to complete radio, silence in response to washington, secretly listening to years of their colleagues private phone calls. as this report is being prepared, literally to news links on google covering the why it's happening in this case is
2:27 pm
inherently politicized. i have been an agent or a piece, not any particular government because i was pushed for the mutual interest of both us and iran in line with my iranian american identity. i never stood back from criticizing, you know, when i thought they deserve. so after all, suddenly the us government claims that, you know, i was doing something illegal. that was the case. why didn't they give me a call 13 years ago and say you might be violation of this? you know, far i have done with a whole number of people, you know, they may courtesy calls or send letters to these people and say, you know, did you know that you're violating thought on? you need to register and they didn't do that with me. even the judge seems perplexed by the timing rating the prosecution for being out the case. i have an assistant us attorney who is dragging out discovery to know and a for c r b himself seems to be rather unfazed by the case against him speaking to
2:28 pm
r t. his revealed that this is not his 1st legal battle as an analyst of iranian descent. this is the system in the past 25 years. there are been subjected to frivolous criminal charges. and i think a lot of them from, you know, political objectives in each episode elevator to prove my innocence in court. and you know, defending myself as a pro se, if this case proceeds and god forbid, found guilty and so forth. this will be a big stigma for the us justice system. and obviously this will have repercussions at the moral level as well. washington loves to play freedom of speech, mental lamb, basking others for pinning down outlets. and also journalists were often reimbursed with the us taxpayer dollars striking, right as at home with multiply vigor. salty,
