very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk a series of linkedin. messages from u. s. military revealed the panic withdrawal from afghan to stand with troops unable to rescue fellow citizens. we form a special forces. soldiers who shed the trip to texas. our biggest problem getting people out actually in the u. s. government is actually not the job. 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 helping us angry parliamentarians, rage apartments. of course john sins answer over handling of the events that unraveled enough ganeth destination fuel. the long awaited frequently undermined

no string to gas pipeline will finally be completed in a matter of days with the last part of the pipe welded into place. ah welcome you're watching arctic. white house has acknowledged that around a 100 americans are still in afghanistan almost a week after the evacuation ended. while the administration grapples with the fall and a series of linked messages of shed light on the military's failed efforts to get every us citizen out of the country and the american citizens. yes, all of them. we are effing, abandoned american citizens. those texts which hadn't been verified with a slight disclose by michael yon walker respondent and form a special forces soldier. he spoke to a showing details of his conversation 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. in other words, hit 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 on 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 have a 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. uncle young also released conversations with contractors who were in cobble . one of them wrote $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to enter the airport. the source claims some would beaten and assaulted in their efforts to get in. and i did. she was asking senior office clarification

on how they could be helped as they faced a terrifying wait. this command is apparently refused to step in another contract, wrote us generals, new their citizens were stuck outside the apple was still wouldn't grant access, even proposed paying of the government such as the k to help out if americans and confer in 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 that re merging from those conversations and start contrast as narrative coming from the by the ministration. they continually stressed the situation was under control and no american citizens would be left behind. what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create 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 left 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. after the evacuation, michael young wrote a scathing letter to the army high command, highlighting some missteps. sufficiently, the fact to us nationals were abandoned at the gates. one quote, 3 t jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them. we have depends on clarity. they declined to comment on believes the lack of transparency is made. matters worse. that's what americans always say. we leave no one behind, right. and right now we've seen the military lead people behind the gate. but it's, it's a thin to say, well, i'm just going to live because it's humiliating. so we just have to leave behind

and lie about it. no, 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 of 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 roster leave, afghanistan, us forces left behind plenty of lutes. these pictures were taken marker, respond my guess deal, and then abandoned bass. and cobble, as you see, there are military metals and backpacks. true found american tools, knives, electronics. really. we spoke to bruce marx, attorney form of pennsylvania state republican senator. he shared his thoughts on

the us withdraw. and i don't mean to be necessarily critical of president my but i thought it was a historic tobacco. the information that he provided at the beginning they'd 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 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 us 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 afghans have dana stands who supported us. they always say the interpreters, but there are many more. these are people who put their lives at risk for america 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 biden was vice president for 8 years. and 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 afghan 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. my new crime is under, we need to scrutiny in germany after an african refugees stamped to people berlin on saturday, leaving them severely injured. 40 said the attack targeted a woman because he didn't like the fact she was allowed to have a job,

a reportedly engaged in conversation for pulling out a knife and stabbing a several times in the neck. they 66 show pacify. who came to the woman's rescue was then also attacked by the man 29 year old man from galveston was arrested following the incident. his mental health currently being assessed. prosecutors are also looking into whether the attack was motivated by islamists ideology. following the incident, the austrian chance was that all efforts should be taken to stop a new margaret simplex b, as in, were absolutely convinced that the people living afghanistan should be cared for in the neighboring countries and points where these people set out for europe. while the council slammed a new greek migration law that would limit the activities of jose picking up from migrants in the agency since the height of the migrant crisis in 2015. and jo work is using boats and ships have been accused by athens of helping so say the legal migration in degrees. we support our national guard and

configure the duties, but they can give you some to the glued together with the nation. so we're in but don't, percy posed is also a full respect, figure national sherman to deal with having been actually for corporate with us. but it was a very small minority over the years. actually, you know, there's 2 people use the same m jose have hundreds, if not thousands of likes in that in the and they think we must not distinguish. that is what she really does of pew with the great, the work that the majority of your, for being jose in throughout europe, is for more than the similarity to lation de la vini in italy, who are the 1st who introduced sensitive relation. basically,

it confuses that i to end the obligation of every state to bring back the its own from tears. anger was boiling in the british parliament. today's m pays returned from the summer break. armed with countless questions for minister force johnson over the 100 to get the galveston crisis on correspondence in london is ali has details. those half hazard, chaotic scenes of the western withdrawal from afghanistan continues to have political reverberations. and all of the nato member states and the united kingdom being a senior partner in our lives is know there for many taking a far as 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 in evacuating people from afghanistan or 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 and 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 read, 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 that from the time the doha agreement was signed until the eventual withdrawal that was a whole 18 month,

not that 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 the resettlement of african refugees. we have a prime minister incapable international leadership just when we needed it. yeah, no response. no against the backdrop. you've also been seeing reports that some africans were actually removed from the flight up couple airport where just hours earlier bomb, but huge bomb and say can play some one labor m p saying that some amongst his constituents had family members who had not exact faith before them 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 sleep 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 potentially fit a decision allow perhaps even, even after i've lived these, my friends with minutes 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. but the goal month, how about any danger? we have no evidence of anybody being pools of flights, but i would ask him obviously, and if you think i would ask him to, to raise it with the right the particular cases directly with, with my right honorable friends. so bars, johnson,

hugely proud of the u. k f over the past weeks, the evacuated many, but there are those who say that there are still those left behind who need help. the non mine is in the self proclaimed republic of la guns died on monday after the cable to the lift. they were snapped, according to me to report 25 people were travelling in the elevator of the time. the condition of the remaining minors is not yet clear. the incident took place at the cross name popped his on mine and emergency services all working at the scene. as always, when you more on the story as the details come in, still ahead on our fee. and iranian american, all the subjects around the clock, surveillance of to be from did a foreign agent that story after the break. ah, ah, ah

ah, ah ah ah, ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have is 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 the use of wrangling, legacy delays to construction a whole host of us sanctions. the huge new stream to gas pipeline is almost complete. the final part of the pipe which will be rushing gas to germany that they welded in place and tests are expected to begin with in days. corresponding to oliver has the latest. the final piece of the pipe work has be welded into 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 hasn't been easy running for nord 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 cause delays and cost millions upon millions. 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 us 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 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. political

scientist and author is facing government. how they are foresee, i'll be denies the charges. he's been subjected to the surveillance with thousands of his phone calls recorded according to court records. yes, donna has more strangers getting full access to your cool history. can be a person's worst night map yet. that's a reality right now. full kathy, a for b, 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 part 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 with his journals and so on. and to be cornish, like this, without a shred of evidence for fiarty is no terrorist, nor did he plan something as dramatic as a federal reserve heist. the prosecution accuses him of failing to register as a for an agent, and being a clandestine propaganda to for the rainy and government. the allegedly sought to 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 of 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, news outlets for an agents. you and other journalists and independent journalists continue 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 descent, 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 to foreign agent in april. so all this was over, the russian government demand to add a foreign agent. disclaimer to the content published by select entities,

no prison time, no finds. no why a tapping 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 . i think this case is inherently finance, is i have been an agent or piece, not any particular government because i was pushed for the mutual interest of both us and you know, on the line with my any 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 being something illegal. that was the case. why didn't they give me a call 13 years ago and they might be violation of this. you know, far i have done with a whole number of people, you know, they may

a courtesy call or send letters to these people and say, you know, did you know that you're violating and you need to register and they do that. we'd meet 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 the discovery to know and for himself seems to be rather unfazed by the case against him speaking to r t. his revealed that this is not his 1st legal battle as an analyst of iranian descent. this is the time in the past 25 years, there are been subjected to free witness criminal charges. and i think a lot of them stand 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 speak more for us justices them. and obviously this will have repercussions at the moral level as well. washington loves to play freedom of speech, mental land, basking others for pinning down outlets. and also journalists were often reimbursed with the us taxpayer dollars. striking writers at home with multiply the vigor special forces in the african nation of guinea claimed to have captured the presidents and dissolved the government. there was heavy gum far. i found the presidential palace on sunday with military vehicles patrolling streets. defense minister claimed on sunday, the cue attempt has been defeated. the local media reporting soldiers have arrested the head of state and a number of top ranking officials. the stay the father condemned the coo saying it

may prevent guineas, international partners from helping the country. he cannot community of west african states as threatened sanctions, unless constitutional orders are stored. all the african union is calling for president con days, immediate release conditions border with malia in the north, the whole region, which is considered one of the poorest in the whole african continent. and despite the presence of foreign troops, terrorist violence has continued cost around for years now, with islam, his medicines flooding the territory, legal and media on this line, or believes the u. s. has no right to pass judgment on getting no work will be on this. that tale bond is our sensible partner. okay. if that's true, who is anybody to pass any judgment on? give me. what's the difference? mean? what? a different form of chaos. but it seems like we just keep repeating the same mistakes. so i hope this is just,

this is and i hope that our involvement remains merely rhetorical. we give you the advice we lend our assistance. do you think that right now? anybody is in the position to see know what see who would be best able to handle guinea best for each people know and dimension. i don't want to get conspiratorial, but i don't know the back story and who's, who, who's paying, who and all of that. right. now, we're looking at this horror story, this fire storm among other types of storms updates coming away in 30 minutes. me the

ah, the the, it's almost exactly 10 years ago today when we 1st introduced to the world, the idea of bit going. it was trading at a dollar, and this was back in 2011, and i said it would be the biggest story of the decade. and certainly that has proven to be the case. and now we've got out the door making big point, legal, tender.

the the the with i'm action or 10 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 in the 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 the new cold war ratchets up the chances of extinction, but another man made existential threat, nuclear annihilation. so is humanities,

intelligence, and collective knowledge, also the root of its own destruction, and the only beneficiaries of billionaires looking to escape the planet in private rockets. joining me now is renown philosopher, author ac grayling, whose new book the frontiers of knowledge explores 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 the only 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 graph and forced always used in his novels, you know, only connect that if you are 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 about the great.
