we dare to ask in ah discipline those except amy responsibility, any personal responsibility for the message be less than i've done? it's done. we have a prime minister incapable international leadership just when we needed it. where it has lawmakers round on the prime minister, the disastrous would fall from down at dawn with them to be run through the forest johns and incapable of international leadership. the b. b. c apologizes, read documentary on an alleged chemical attack in syria back in 2018, which included a full time, a geisha that informants that it was staged to make some money. also, i had the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, from wilkinson kick us, john, how's russia came up with some choice? not to count to any potential press, stepping from the trail in afghanistan. ah, 27 live from the russian capital. this is, you guessed it, all the international. it was good to have you with us and i would welcome on february this our, the u. k. parliament will some pretty on greg's changes on monday as m. p. 's returned from that's on the break. as the u. s, the opposition has been around re condemning the leadership over the last minute if i q ration from afghanistan. and that was some tough questions for the british prime minister families. 1 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 the years and i want to ask the prime minister, how on earth would potentially fit the decision? allow perhaps, even after i live these, my friends will minister boys left and right. and how many objected from the airport into harm's way. and just the up to 3 to the families that the government has the port. and then we have no evidence of anybody being pulled off the flight. but i would ask him, obviously, if the guy would ask him to, to raise it with the raise. the particular cases, directly with, with my right, honorable friends, of course, johnson went on to defend the ass can put out as a success that any riled up the opposition parties even more with some branding him

incapable of international leadership. crystallizes this is not so much a defeat is a capitulation. those appointments to accept any responsibility, any personal responsibility for the message be left an upcoming time we have before us the prime minister desperately trying to cover for a foreign secretary who should have been 5 weeks ago. he has to be failed to take the measures required to make that a reality for veterans and communities like mine, a national disgrace. as far as those critiques concerned, the u. k. government is falling short of any type of planning for the post occupation phase in afghanistan. and the government doesn't have a plan to get everybody out. cobbler pool 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 of international leadership just when we needed it. yeah, i know it's on johnson 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 our son 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 and so bars. johnson, 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.

well, like i mentioned the us presidential binds, also facing a power of criticism. those are the kind of on to ball coal around a 100 americans are still stronger than the town upon a full control. now, washington barney has very little room for maneuver. we do not have personnel on the grounds. we do not have assets in the country. we do not control the space where the over afghanistan are elsewhere in the region. given these constraints, we also do not have a reliable means to confirm the basic details of charter flights and creating who may be organizing them. the number of us citizens and other priority groups on board. well, i don't on union o'neill discuss the kale, so the last few weeks with bruce marx, a tiny and former pennsylvania state republican senator. the bible administration, as you well know, as hailed the withdrawal, quote, an extraordinary success is something we keep hearing repeatedly considering the

chaos playing on our screenings in the past number of weeks. is that how you see it? no, it's not how i see it at all the unnecessarily critical presence by what 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 in 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. what would you say to some of the presidents, supporters who say that he achieved what 3 other president didn't and actually ended u. s. involvement. 3rd, does he deserve praise for that?

i think at some point, we realized that the mission in afghanistan was not going to be successful. and it 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 dentist answers 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 biting was vice president for 8 years 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 understand when president trump was president, we didn't lose a single life. so i don't think he deserves particular credit for for the withdrawal. i do think it's going to be hard. we have

a lot of americans who served bravely enough, ghana, stan, and i think that they are very upset about how this ended. and i have to say, you know, they, when you give the analogy to the vietnam war, you know, we have the famous photos of the helicopter leaving, you know, the, the roof of the embassy in saigon. and joe biden said that wasn't going to happen. you know, we had a helicopter leaving the embassy in couple like the next day. so yeah, americans don't like to, to, to be involved and lose american lives. and then have it turn out not to be a very positive outcome that happened in vietnam. and it happened unfortunately here in off canister. do you think that other administrations bear responsibility for the crisis? start unfortunate enough. galveston, you're george w bush, beginning the whereas as you say the what were the war in terror? and then you had perhaps donald trump at reaching withdrawal agreement with the taliban. that didn't very much free. i think the questions, you know, but obviously you have the george bush administration,

in spite of ministration and trump to maintain the american presence there. we just made a miscalculation the beginning that we were going to be able to change. how i, how afghan stan operated. i think the president bush, when he went in there and we went after okay to after 911. i don't think that there's much doubt that that was the right thing to do. we had to take out of it and we did. but as it turns out, i don't think we made a very good decision because we are optimistic that we could change how the country was operated, not just frankly, turned out to be dead wrong. i think the taking out of al qaeda was important and that was the right thing to do. in retrospect, we spent a lot of american lives in american money on something that turned out to be completely unsuccessful. and if you're asking me sometimes do something and it doesn't work out and they say, well would you do it again and you say, yeah, because i, because maybe i would do it better. again, i wouldn't do this again. what we should have done was taken out al qaeda,

and it's unfortunate it is, is it is we should have left because at some point, so you simply have to allow other countries to govern themselves. and if, as long as you're not exporting terrorism, you can't, you can't permit that. but if, if there is none, the less that, that's how the people in those countries want the want to live. unfortunately, it's not worth american or russian lives for that matter. tech. to interfere a bit later on in the program will be reporting from military drills and central asia where russia and it's not always all preparing for any potential spit over from os camera. e b. c has apologized for a documentary on a legit chemical attack in syria back in 2018, admitting it contained serious inaccuracies. this comes 10 months off to report without on radio for a key implication by the pretty broad costs was a form inspector, whose use contrast with stock with the western our to the play. the syrian

government was motivated by a payoff from wikileaks. the whistleblower website was in fact offering a cash incentive information on to me at the time, but says no such reward was ever paid. the editor in chief of waiting is welcome the apology from the b b. c. that he hopes all the media outlets will follow suit, shaw, get with dusty, have more on the case unraveling. what really happened that takes us to the heart of the global race and to control the narrative of the war. this is the opening of a, b, b, c radio for documentary. and as we know, the pbc predicate itself on anything box, fake news. this all you can rely on the go to platform for truth and the broadcast, the vows to leave no stone left on turn over the ledge. 2018 chemical talk in syria . but i run it clean now 10 months off to the publishing of this so called truth, the b, b, c. admit. so that contains some serious inaccuracy. the see you found that although

they were limited to one aspect of an investigation into a complex and hotly contested subject, these points represented a failure to meet the standard of accuracy appropriate to a program of this kind. and this program is so called account of a former inspector from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons under the name alex was included. only it suggests that alex is disclosures have been motivated. barbara ward of a $100000.00 offered by wikileaks. now, just to be clear, no such reward was ever paid according to ricki lake itself. but why does the bbc remember this? this serious is the result of sorrow journalism and needs to be b. c's editorial standards. a number of your points are based on inaccurate interpretations of the contents of the serious and we would suggest listening again for clarification. as appropriate. we approached individuals where allegations were raised, invite exam, as well as others to respond to what is reported in the program. was sent by the

investigation and now we're journalism. yes, it was a b, c. talking about the same documentary off the journalists are and must a sensible casa. his question about how the documentary series failed to mention reports i found to be received on this rhymes. lastly, that the attack may have been staged and how it will to down damming by former p. c . w inspector. jose, astonished as merely having an axe to grind with the americans. however, they were either rebuffed or down played back then that he was, he now admitted, insinuated that alex was off to the cash bounty. but that's all the documentary fabricated or at least seriously exaggerated. it also claim that pizza hitchens the agenda to follow these complaints against the documentary in the very 1st place, shall the russian and syrian state views on the complex that these attacks were indeed staged. and yes, the claims have been withdrawn by the b, b,

c. but aligning hitchens with the russian syrian official view leave to warn in question about anyone stepping out of line automatically being pitted as spinning. and i'm to watch the narrative. as to alex is dealings with journalists. although he has collaborated with journalists, you held broadly the same views on the war as the russian and 3 governments. he had also collaborated with journalists of whom that could not be said, mister hitchens, among them. if they say, suppose that the bank can tackle narratives rather than spin and create them all this way. the bbc has backtracked on that. and well, peter hitch and to push the b. c to face it's fundamental flaws. hales is all as a factory for truth. what does this mean about the war agenda? the broadcast has been pushing for years. the bbc reporting is very biased and, and very much supportive of british establishment. this was a very important incident, led to the u. k. the u. s. and perhaps bombing syria. there's been

a very heavy bias, an assumption that i thought was always wrong and that the accusations of the west were always right. and it's time after time we've seen incident switch and accusations by the west, which have convincingly turned out to be not through time hoping that more a more request will be made to them to look into more substantial issues here. the fall out from the taliban, take her then off canister has posed a challenge for the central asian regional. so russia and faith of any potential threat is a key focus a minute to drills that are happening right now. in k gast on ortiz, constantly rush coffee staff for us. the cloud, while the military exercises in cricket down have officially kicked off impressive show of force displayed by famous rocket artillery launcher is the famous grab and

elsewhere. the training facility troops have also engaged in active shooting, and these are well under way. now these were games are stage of annual leave, but this year they are common on the back, on the backdrop of the disaster. it's us redraw from, again, it's dana and which is by the way, not far from here and as the how the bond is still trying to establish itself as the new government and cobble neighboring countries, namely, get than you get them is biggest down as well as russia, their main military ally are weary of uncontrolled militants for extreme, as you might take advantage of the situation and cause trouble in the military and political situation in collective security treaty organization, soon of a direct responsibility is still complicated. the most vulnerable area is central asia. in the wake of the talent they coordinate. galveston, which borders on the genius time the region is seen height and activity from international terrorism, and really just radicalism. now this training facility,

the training ground where we are at, is located in probably one of the most scenic part of crude stan and the mountain shop by the lake of school. and it is specifically designed to help the military deal with mountain 1000 military personnel as well as out artillery over 100 feet. the armored vehicles tanks as well as a vh and or taken part in this maneuvers. now, according to the scenario of these drills, the terrorist from the made up country named guardia, attacked several villages here, and you know, their main job to repel the assault as quickly as possible. well, that's really great. strategic, important for russia. chris dan house, one of the main rushes out, posed in this region, the military base and the content by the way, helicopter. then several closures,

or jazz from the base are also taken part in this maneuver. and other countries that have send the military to the exercise or conflicts done in just down along with russia and craig is done. these are for members of the c s t o, the collective security treaty organization, which brings together 6 former soviet republics. now, the main goal of these trails, like any other drill, improve skills of the military, but there is also a message here that moscow allies in the region remain vigilant. and this you motion was time following the us pull out from again a sam me while you data from berlin has revealed more than half thought the people on the extreme of watch this whole german passport about revelation came off to request from your ton of germany. party, among the remaining suspects, are systems of theory, walk russia, talkie and africana stone. we spoke to f t member martin hass about the

government's migration policy. when they simply don't see or recognize that the basic mistake is that people without identity, paperless, and without identity cause of being allowed into the country on a massive scale, they simply don't want to recognize that it is not possible to check the background of these people as a result, the threats of islamist terrorism and our country continues to increase, feel we need to protect a board as effectively and we must not, as is now happening in afghanistan to bring people into our country without any checks. can we see what can happen if we brought 20 convicted criminals into the country who have committed a whole range of crimes for molesting children to other sexual offenses? and in addition, at 350 number of people, we don't know exactly how many with other issues, including those present threats. we are pursuing a completely misguided migration policy. we need to protect board only those who have an identity document for those who can prove who they are. and you can give a credible reasons. i should be allowed to enter our country and see what policy we

should help those in need. and for refugee, if it doesn't have to be in germany, also should be somewhere close to their home. and i was when we ship consistently, anyone who becomes, is mistress or preacher of hate, given con, we can only disdain ship by deporting them where it is possible. where it is not possible because there are obstacles deportation. we have to put them in custody awaiting with ation and german systems who we cannot do, who we should put them into longer term, cassidy for how we should reduce their radius fax one to 0 by depriving them with their liberty the only that will bring security to our country is consequent meantime as well has launched a series of strikes on southern gaza. the idea cross talk to the hama rocket manufacturing site on the concrete card which allegedly made materials across the board to tunnels no casualties have been

me it's almost exactly 10 years ago today when we 1st introduced to the world, the idea of that going, it was trading at a dollar, and this is back in 2011, and i said it would be the biggest story the decade. and certainly that has proven to be the case. and now we've got the door making big point, legal, tender the, the, the, the, ah, the western african nation of guinea rallied rules global headlines, but a military coup that has sent shock waves throughout commodity markets. us because

the country is a key metal producer. and with a traumatic spike and not a minion, price or some marketplace spotted a chance to cache. and daniel hawkins takes a closer look. this isn't the 1st 2 in guineas recent history. in fact, it's one of several people in a number of former french african colonies in just a few months. presidents of the impoverished west african states taken into custody while the countries special forces. their constitution dissolved by nationwide curfew declared with any refusal from officials to cooperate deemed a rebellion. the mutiny is certainly mean business, but claim is all for the greater good will no longer interest politics to one man will intrusted to the people. guineas, beautiful. we don't need to re geenie anymore. we just need to make love to her world a seeing a rare moment of unity from the year when to the african union, and even usually rival staves quickly bonded together to condemn the military

takeover. i am personally following the situation in guinea very closely. i strongly condemn any take over the government by force of the gun and call for the immediate release of president alpha con day said why all the attention? guinea, despite being direly poor, is actually pretty rich apart from large amounts of gold and diamonds. the country holds by some of them as a 3rd of the worlds with the book site. one of the main sources of out of minium, in fact, is the world's 2nd largest producer and metal markets look pretty rattled right now . if you do have issues in a country that supplies 20 percent of book site to the global market, then clearly that will be a problem as many in price as a decade high. great news for mining companies, but it probably makes little difference to the average guinea and like in most former colonies, is mainly mining conglomerates that tend to profit multiple states have investments in the country from russia and china to australia,

on the u. k. according to the us state department, one of the biggest plays in guineas. marcus is france. french companies, as part of international conglomerates, play a big role in the morning sector as well as the product is ation of the countries energy grid and relations between the 2 countries. have grown closer under the baffled president's rule. fountain guinea have thrown bilateral relations with many high level meetings. relations have intensified since south convey came to power, convey one office in the country, 1st 3 elections in later years. like many lead is on the continent. he was accused of holding sham elections, which the opposition boycotted, cracking down on beset, timid, bloody protests, costing dozens of lives. yet his rule is still considered better than an unknown, punitive and guinea turbulence follows and all too familiar pattern, 3 crews, and just 10 years and laboring formal french colony. molly, a recent military takeover in shad following the killing of

a strong one president. adrian, debbie, a long time french ally with president micron even attending his funeral again. despite his flaws. paris was pragmatic. things could be worse. this latest crew certainly will be the loss and a vicious cycle of violence, power struggles, and instability for africans, informal colonies, the only certainty seems to be more of the same. and as the world condemn is the latest round of violence. it's a sad fact that unity only seems to be shown what national interests are at stake. africa seems to be still stuck between either authoritative and regime and rulers do not want to leave our life. what happened without for candy or who and the worst type, of course i always the military one. so it's unfortunate, but i don't see positive developments in the future in the country. of course, this is a problem of most african and developing countries. it's the natural resources are

not really used to help develop the country for the sake of the test. it is that the conundrum that most african countries have not managed to re away from. so i don't think even this new regime will manage to do different policies. i guess the business as usual will be the same again, get a, be me going to korea. and then the multinational companies will keep proctoring from that sources for what they smoke size or gold or diamond. i don't think thing when change for the regular regular guinea institute. the state of confusion and the care of the coven backs in campaign for teenagers and all courtesy of the vaccine minister himself. i thought he gave different answers to the same question. during interviews about whether parents of teens need to give consent, that need to be competent, then that will will goes in the favor. ready of what the teenager

decides, can you show a parents that if there is a decision to vaccinate 12 to 15 year old it will require a parental consent. i can give that sure. absolutely. plans are current and being considered in the past where the healthy 12 to 15 year olds should be jobs on months earlier, the countries vaccine advisory board refused to back. he must throw out fighting a low covert health risk to that age group. however, the chief medical officer says that she needs to be feared from the wider impact it could have on preventing the spread your own group of and to that seem protest is tried to form the headquarters of the you case medicines and health care products, regulatory agency us off to the board and we met the madonna and find the jobs children age 12 and 18 to demonstrate has are against under 6 teams getting jobs. at least 4 offices were injured and the number of arrests were made. we discussed,

the issue was former westland p. bill etheridge, if it were a matter of incompetence, it would be not forgivable, because they're supposed to be going in the country, but it might be perhaps understandable. it's not a matter of incompetence in my view. it's a matter of the states seizing powers that should belong to individuals and families. that since the whole covered situation began, we've been conditioned to accept locked downs. we've been conditioned to accept that if you wish to maintain a degree of personal freedom, you're somehow selfish. so many things that they're forcing non painful through fear, a flu, propaganda, and fear and stuff of people talk to have a look at the reality of the situation and make their own decision not be forced to come to anything. not is all going to send for the hour. i'm not as good bye for me for today. you know, neil take notes at the top so you can join. but later on as me of

the join me every person on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the news that you're still with me as a confidential informant. anything that you try to pick apart everything that he did for the a year and you just like i i don't know it's tough caught in the text message, all of his friends smoked. we all sort even through all of this.
