me the me, the the biggest catch up program in the history of the u. k. national health service. i'll prime minister or johnson described his plans to the countries covered recovery, but paying for it means breaking to key election pledges. yes, i accept this break manifesto commitment, which is not something that is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the son's you into him. government is announced with a cabinet featuring a taliban found and a militant on the one. so the bbc apologizes for a documentary on an alleged chemical attack in syria in 2018,

which made false claims about a former inspector. the challenge the western narrative that blamed the gum. ah hi there, good evening. thanks for joining us here on the british prime minister bar, as johnson has broken tooth, his parties key election manifesto promises in just one day and all to pay for the unprecedented impact of the pandemic correspondent in london isa ali has details absolutely. bars. johnson, the prime minister and flying says he was today by both his health secretary and his chancellor. really outlining these changes to what has been long standing british government policy in particular when it comes to the so called triple lock retentions, which essentially in the part of ensure that 3 pension is,

would have gained an increase year on year on the pensions. whether it was pegged to the rate of inflation to rises in earnings or 2.5 percent. whichever one of those 3 figures would have in the highest, that's how much triple triple pension would have risen by every year. but with an unusually high figure of 8.8 percent rise in earnings, the governments, and they simply cannot afford to rise, raise pensions by that much for the following year. and so they've had to do away with this long standard policy. but far as johnson defending not saying that it's in the public interest for the overall economy. where beginning the biggest catch up program in history of the an h. s. the levy who share the cost as fairly, as possible between people and businesses. because we all benefit from

a well supported and a chest and all businesses benefit from a healthy workforce. while the opposition in the u. k. i haven't taken it lightly. a shuttle complexion secretary, jonathan rentals reacting to the prime minister essentially. 3 saying the way the government have tried to frame this issue of, for example, people living longer and having healthier lives and insensitive way of dealing with what are very real issues for the elderly when it comes to their pensions. the governments cases of the full data and the pandemic have produced a statistical aberration. i reject the presentation of this issue as a source into generational tension or unfairness because we all have an interest in ensuring that there's a decent state pension in the future. we would never present increase longevity as a problem. now this is of course, the manifest pledge that the prime minister has broken within a day. the 2nd of those being an announcement to raise national insurance

contributions, which states the government that is promised not to do the lead up to that election at the end of 2019, but as far as something was pointing out so strenuously today, when that manifested was written in the country and the world in fact, didn't have a panoramic to take into account, no conservative government, no conservative government to seek every once to raise taxes. and i will be honest with the heights i stepped. yes, i accepted the break manifest commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the. so the government, the chancellor, the treasury all with a balancing act to do to perhaps try to please if not all sectors of society as many as possible when it comes to the agenda, not just u. k. the so called global a gender of build back a better point. and slogan the bars johnston repeated again today

to afghanistan and 3 weeks since the taliban swept back to power and seized the full control of the country. these limits militant groups now officially announced its interim government, a correspondent, broadcast of reports from campbell. there had been a lot of speculation in the, in the weeks leading up to this point about the make up of any new afghan or taliban government, whether the taliban would but compromise to all the cool, especially from the west. but any new afghan government to be to be inclusive to perhaps even include women in it. but these new government that has been announced . 5 the taliban says this is a can take a government so only temporary, perhaps with the election stated for the future. this new government is swell taliban, through and through. they have elected to go for the iranian model and that is for a supreme leader. i mean, he bit the law who is the supreme leader of the taliban ruling, the government,

which is then made up of a prime minister in this case mohammed hassan, whom formerly the prime minister of the out of the taliban government during 2000 during 2001, when they were lost in power, he is seen as a loyal functionary of the tyler by someone who has stayed as have all the other figures in this new government with the data. but through the long years of us occupation and the insurrection, against that other names on these new government lease will perhaps turn head cook . joe had one of the sons of the co founder, or perhaps even arguably the founder of the taliban. he is now slated to be the defense minister, perhaps and even more controversial appointment is that of the new interior minister. his dean had guardy, the son of a former warlord, and someone who has

a $5000000.00 bounty to him set by the united states. he's wanted for questioning with regards to a bombing in 2008, which killed amongst others, a us citizen. he is believed to be heavily involved in again the, the, the insurrection, and the resistance against the us presence and nato present here. got to start again. there was a lot of a lot of speculation that perhaps given how hot the taliban is trying to the god to get to get into the actual recognition that they would make compromises. but perhaps after what happened in pad she had valley over the last week. the fierce battles that had the pipes decimation of the opposition that had gathered that the taliban elements, perhaps that had a bold and the taliban to a point. the government and the figures that, that it has. nevertheless, again, a temporary government. the taliban says it is unclear yet how long it will stay in

power. and what will follow is the b, b. c has apologized for documentary on an alleged chemical attack in syria back in 2018. admitting it contained serious inaccuracies. it comes 10 months after the report was ad on radio for. the key implication by the british broadcaster was that a former inspector, whose views contrasted starkly with the western narrative, blaming the syrian government, was motivated by a pale from wiki legs, were sublime website was in fact offering a cash incentive information on doom at the time. but says, no such reward was ever paid. the editor in chief wickedly welcomed the apology from the b, b. c. adding, he hopes that other media alice will follow suit, share the address dashti has more unraveling. what really happen 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 holes you can rely on the go to the top from the 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 also the publishing of this so called truce the b b c. admit. so that contains some serious inaccuracies. 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 as so called account of a former inspector from the organization for the part bishan of chemical weapons under the name alex was included. only suggests that alex is disclosures have been motivated by reward 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 baby see? remember this, this serious is the result of sorrow journalism and needs to be b. c's editorial standards and 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 was down damning by former p. c. w inspector jose, but stoney, as merely having an axe to grind with the americans. however,

they will either rebuffed or down played back then that he was. he now admits it 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 fall 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 leads to warning questions 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 who 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 were supposed to t bone can tackle narratives rather than spin and create them. all this need to be

b. c has backtracked on that. and well peter hitch and to push the b. 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. it 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 convinced really turned out to be not through time hoping that more a more quest will be made to them to look into more substantial issues here.

the fall and from the taliban. take over in afghanistan has posed a challenge for the central asian region, and also russia and facing off any potential threat is a key focus of military drills underway now in the nation of care gets done on he's constantly in rush, casa, the cloud. well, the military, i just didn't, cricket down have officially kicked off and show up displayed by famous rocket artillery laundry, the famous grab and elsewhere the training facility. troops have also engaged in active shooting, and these are well under way. now these workings are stage with annual leave. this year, they are communism the backdrop of the disaster. it's us redraw from again, it's dan, which is by the way, not far from here. and as the taliban is still trying to establish itself as the new government in kabul, neighboring countries, namely kurdistan, did you get sam, his biggest as well as russia. the main military ally are weary of hon. controlled

militants for extreme, as he 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 talisman to coordinate the dentist and which borders on to genius time the region is seen height and activity from international terrorism. and really just radical is now this training facility, the training ground where we are at, is located in probably one of the most scenic part of stan and the mountains by the lake of physical. and it is specifically designed to help the military deal with mountain 1000 military personnel as well as john artillery, over 100 feet the armored vehicles tanks and are taking part in this maneuvers now according to the area of the israel, the terrace,

and the made up country named connie attacked several villages here, and there was main job to repel the sold as quickly as possible. well, that's reaching race repeated. important is for russia cruise, and one of the main rushes out posed in this region, the military base and the con, and by the way, helicopter. then several closures, or chats from the base, are also taken part in this maneuvers and other countries that have send the military to the exercise or conflicts done. and she gets done along with russia and fergus done. these are for members of the c s. c 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 the motion was time following the us pull out from again,

a standard that reveals more than half of all people on germany is extremist watch list, or german passport holders. revelation k master, a request from the alternative for germany party among the suspects are citizens of syria, iraq, russia, turkey and afghan. this down we spoke to 50 member martin hess about the government's migration policy. one z a simply don't see or recognize that the basic mistake is the people without identity paperwork and without the 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. we need to protect a board as effectively and we must not, as is now happening in our kennesaw and who 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 posing islamist grants. we're pursuing a completely misguided migration policy. we need to protect our borders. only those who have identified documents for those who can prove who they are, give a credible reasons. i should be allowed to enter our country and see what we should help those in need. and for the refugee, please doesn't have to be in germany, should be somewhere close to their home. and we should consistently call anyone who becomes an islamist or preacher of hate. given con, we can only of this danger by deporting them where it is possible, where it is not possible because there are obstacles station. we have to put them in custody and weight and ation and german systems who we can not do who we should put them into longer term, cassidy. we should reduce their radius faction to 0 by depriving them with their liberty the only that will bring security to our country. as

a consequence. still to come, the su in africa, the say government down the alley, minium prices rocketing up. find out the connection to the brake shoes. me, i the ah

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 was 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 out the door making big point, legal, tender the, the news ah, the number of spare covert gems is likely to exceed 1000000000 in high income countries by the end of the year. that's according to new research by london based on elliptic firm that says it's access or not supplies. that is the main stumbling

block to vaccine bowl as important nations. the estimated stop take suggest western countries currently have 500000000 doses in the chile cabinets. although the vast majority aren't allocated for donations, however, by the end of the year, the quantity of excess jobs is expected to stand at $1200000000.00. now the research also suggests there's no need to worry about supply problems because will buy manufacturing capacity a's at his highest levels. last month, global vaccine production reached a milestone, 6000000000 doses mid day going global disparity and job axis 7 of the world's advanced economies. along with the a you promise to divert more than a 1000000 doses, but so far, just 15 percent of that number have reportedly been delivered funding show that they'll still be a surplus even after wealthy nations inoculate all the children and officer dos booster shots. recently, the w h o condemned countries for administering follow up shots when so many people haven't even had the 1st, the body urged

a fair share of the shots. a 3rd dose of vaccine is not a luxury boost taken away from someone who still waiting for a 1st job. but it's basically a way to keep the people safe, the most vulnerable. but at the same time, we need to share, we need to do it all when a ceo of the firm, which carried out the new research release, the millions of lice can be saved as the vaccine surpluses diverted as soon as possible. of course, it's like the question is, how do we just do, how do we distribute and, and to which country should be distributed? those are really important, a global decision to ultimate, the political decisions. so if the u. s. and you kind of got together made a kind of impact on deal on how to distribute those, some kind of data principles for which country to receive. and when, and, you know, maybe include some reselling possibilities. then i think we would be a big step forward, a solution the we estimate that the,

the savings, the, the number of lives saved is very conservative. the 1500000 lives. but it could be up to 2 to 3000000 lives that can be saved with doses that will be available in the coming months. and, you know, the alternative to this is that we will be losing lives unnecessary. but also that the new variance had a higher risk of emerging and spreading. so, you know, from it, from a global safety perspective, this is really in everyone's interest to, to get the vaccines out as soon as they are the west african nation of guinea rarely draws global headlines, but a military coup there ever since shockwave through commodity markets. because it's a key metal producer on the dramatic spike and the medium prices, some market plays a split it a chance. the caching on daniel hawkins has been taking 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 by the countries special forces. their constitution dissolved by nationwide curfew declared with any refusal from officials to corporate deemed a rebellion. the mutineers certainly mean business, but claim is all for the greater good will no longer entrust politics to one man will intrusted to the people. guineas. beautiful. we don't need to re guinea anymore. we just need to make love to her world as seen a rare moments of unity from the year when to the african union, 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 relief of president of con day. while the attention guinea, despite being direly poor, is actually pretty rich. apart from large amounts of gold and diamonds,

the country holds by some estimates. a 3rd of the worlds with the book size. one of the main sources 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 the country that supplies 20 percent of book site to the global market, then clearly that will be a problem. i live in the price is over the decade, high, great news for mining companies. but it probably makes little difference to the average guinea. and like in most former colonies, he's mainly mining conglomerates that tend to profit multiple states have investments in the country from russia and china to australia and the u. k. according to the us state department, one of the biggest plays in guineas, marcus is froth. friends. companies as part of international conglomerates, play a big role in the mining sector, as well as the privatization of the countries. any grid on relations between the 2

countries have grown closer under the baffled president's rule. from from guinea have thrown bilateral relations with many high level meetings relations have intensified since our conduct came to power. convey one office in the country's 1st free 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 descent amid bloody protest, costing dozens of lives. yet his rule is still considered better than an unknown alternative. and guinea turbulence follows and all too familiar pattern, 3 crews, and just 10 years, a neighboring formal french colony. molly, a recent military takeover in shad, following the killing of its strong one pro. didn't erase 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 won't be the loss in a vicious cycle of violence,

power struggles and instability for africans in former 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 regime and food or do not want to leave out like what happened or school 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 conference because this is a problem with most african and developing countries. it's the natural resources are not really used to help develop the country for the sake of it. that's the conundrum that most african countries have not managed to rick away from. so i don't think even the new regime we managed to do different policies. i guess the

business as usual would be the same again. get a, be me going to korea and then the multinational companies will keep proctoring from the actual resources for a smoke size or gold or diamond. i don't think thing would change for the regular regular giddeons to wraps it up for this hour. but that with more in 30 minutes, the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation community. are you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith?

in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, the pacific leg around the world, expedition by 1000 miles round the clock of the dead. calm, the national every country close by. it was like the crew, gavin's food, and one or 2 to chat for

a show for bloom. it's got everybody locked down or almost no food, no water that only give them up. so somebody stuck in the cove in your living like the female. but in the 21st century, the join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the, the me that

you're still with me is a confidential informant. anything that you try to pick apart everything that he did for the a year and you just like i don't know, it's tough call in the text message. all this friends, not we all sort even through all of this. so he could have and like he wants reading and but he didn't understand that you want.
