competence, short form, and this is the way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else to be happening. the biggest catch up program in the history of the u. k. is national health service. that's how the prime minister boris johnson has this client, his plans for the countries coby recovery, but paying for it means breaking to k election pledges. dis like, separate this brig amount if it's so commitment, which is which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within. nick was also the so i've got his new in trim government is announced. the covenant they treat as taliban found. and the medicines on the as be,

always wanted lived on the b. b. c. apologizes for a documentary on alleged chemical talkin theory back in 2018, which made false claims about a full inspector which challenged the western narcy of the blame the assad government. ah, this has been using seen to national hello and welcome to the program. british prime minister member, as johnson has broken 2 of his parties, key election manifesto promises and just one day and all to pay for the unprecedented impacts all the funds that make our correspondent in london isa on a house at his house. absolutely. bar. as johnson, the prime minister and flags, as he was today by both his health secretary and his chancellor. really outlining

these changes to what has been long. you get a government policy in particular, when it comes to the whole law retentions, which is essentially the positive insure factory pension is, would have an increase year on, on the pensions, whether it was peg, the rates of inflation rises in earnings or point 5 percent. whichever one of those 3 you could have in the highest, that's how much triple triple on pension would have risen by a 5 with an unusually high figure of 88 percent arrived in earnings. the government till they simply cannot afford to rise pension is by the money for the following year. so they've had to do away with this long, you know, policy, but far as the funding, 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 will

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 new k, i haven't taken it lightly. henry, a shudder work comparison for secretary jonathan of the rental is reacting to the prime minister. essentially, same way the government tries to frame this issue of, for example, people living longer and having healthier lives and insensitive way of dealing with one of the very real issues for the elderly when they come to that pension to governments cases of the 1st day or in the pandemic have produced a statistical aberration, i reject the presentation of this issue as the source of intergenerational 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 prime minister has broken within a day, the 2nd of those being an announcement to raise the national insurance contributions, which the government, i will promise not to do in the lecture. me on the 29th part, something was pointing out strenuously today when the manifesto was the rest of the country in the world and didn't have a pen to take into account, no conservative government, no conservative government to speak every once to raise taxes. and i will be honest with the high, except yes, i accept the break i manifest to commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within no one. so the government, the, the treasury, all with a balancing act to do to have tried to please if not all sectors of society as many as possible when it comes to gender. you have the so called global

a gender build back a better point. and slogan, the bars johnson repeated again today. and we'll discuss the issue with political commentator antony webb who told us the problems with the n h. s. and social cast. thompson. well, before the pandemic, i think it is damaging because of the way it's been done to saw when he's playing a panoramic. the government has actually dealt with the a desperate course that way. it's been spending more time, not thinking about the consequences. it's now trying to deal with the consequences by bringing in this additional means of getting money. as i said, leader, the opposition court is now today, all the problems we had with the chest and with social care existed well before the cabinet won't have got to start now and 3

weeks since the taliban swept spunk to power and seized full control, the country the miss millison group has now officially announced its interim government. our senior correspondent garcia 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 would compromise to all the cool, especially from the west for 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't take a government. so only temporary, perhaps with electron 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 had son, 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 by through the long years of us occupation and the direction against the other names on these new government lease will perhaps turn heads, you could move ahead. 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, said 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 us present and nato presents. here you have got to start again. there was a lot of a lot of speculation that perhaps given how hard the vitality is trying to the god to get to get into the actual recognition that they would make compromises. but perhaps after what happened in patch here valley over the last week, the fierce battles there and the pat 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 it and say in british journalist richard met hurst, believes the world will have, will take a cautious approach to the new government, hoping the country doesn't descend towards terrorism. again, i think that a lot more can be achieved with diplomacy if they really want to stop ganeth them from becoming a terror hub. as they say, the best thing to do is to, you know, sit down and talk with talent to avoid. busy this happening, but as i said, i'm gonna send was never a problem really. regarding 911 of the war on terror, this was all afar invaded afghanistan and iraq for different reasons, right. if they were really concerned about terrorism, they have to look at the allies because many of them are sponsors of terrorism. and the united states itself was helping these groups, the very same ones that are now in the, in the taliban government to how connie network, for example. and as we said, the majority back in the 1980s they were getting the money from the united states. so the us helped create these groups, pop them up and had a hand in this had

a role. and it's very important to underline the historical aspect of that the b, b. c has apologized for talk human tree on alleged kennicott, hawkins sera back in 2018 as missing its content contains, serious in our curious is a, comes 10 months after the report was ad on radio, for a key implication by the british broadcast. was it a for inspector whose views had control of stock, would be west and nursing, blaming. they say were in government was motivated by peo from we can leaks, they were blowing website was in fact offering a cash incentive for information on d ma at the time. but says no sancha reward or ever paid the editing chief or we can ex, welcome their poetry from the b b c. i think that he hopes other media outlets will follow. suit shot it. edwards dashti has more the case unraveling. what really

happened? that takes us to the heart of the global race and to control the narrative as the war. this was the opening of a, b, b, c radio for documentary. and as we know, the pbc predicates itself on anything but the fake news. the so you can rely on the go to platform for truth and the broadcast the valid 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 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 is so called account of a former inspector from the organization for the position 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 wiki 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 raced. 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 in my 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 to down downings by former

w inspector jose, but stoney, 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 not 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 fast side, 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 worry and 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 brought 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 the baby posted the ball can tackle narratives rather than spin and create them all this the, the bbc 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 convincingly turned out to be not through time hoping that more of a more what will be made to them to look into more substantial issues here.

the fall out from they taliban takeover in afghanistan has posed a challenge with a central asia region and also russia and facing of any potential threat is a key focus of military drills now and away in the nation of care of your son as he is constance. he rush golf is there for us. the cloud? well, the military exercises been crickets down have officially kicked off and show a force been 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 wargames are stage of annual leave. this year they're common to 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 how the bond is still trying to establish itself as

the new government and cobble neighboring countries. namely, good than that you could stand as big as stand 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 mountains by the lake a physical and it is specifically designed to help the military deal with mountain $1000.00 military personnel as well as out artillery over $150.00 armored vehicles

tanks as well as a vh and or taking part in this maneuvers now according to the area of the israel, the terrorist and the made, the country named guardia attacked several villages here. and there was main job to repel the sold as quickly as possible. well, that's reaching out to grace. repeat the important for russia cruise. and one of the main rushes out posed in this region, the military phase in the senior khan. and by the way, helicopters and several closures, or chats from the bait, or also taken part in this maneuvers, other countries that have send the military to the exercise. there were conflicts on energy just on, 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 trail, just improve skills of the military. but there is also

a message here that moscow allies in the region remain vigilant. in this you most was time following the us pull out from again a standard also for eventually here in gaming got to do with how much more you may have to pay for your next home renovation old tablet computer. potentially quite a lot of global medium prices. sol finds out more aust herschel brake ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for patients . 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 join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then in it's almost exactly 10 years ago today when we 1st introduced to the world, the idea of the coin. 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. ah, you're watching our scene to national welcome back. and domestic economics can

convey about to break out in the you was the city of portland, oregon is said to vote on imposing economic functionals against the state of texas . they proposed measures include a boy court of goods and a bond on 60 employees traveling to the lone star state. it comes in response to a device, a new abortion law in texas. this law does not recognize or show respect for the human rights of those who may become pregnant. this law, rewards private individuals for exciting surveillance and control of others bodies . it violates the separation of church and state, and it will force people to carry pregnancy against their will and comical their portal. and mayor ted wheeler is worried about texas when his city defended the police and he had to ask citizens to take back the city. texas is solidly pro life and texas support law enforcement. meanwhile, portland is a dumpster fire, and texas is thriving. the law bonds,

all abortions ever have been in the texas, which is usually around 5 or 6 weeks and open before women note they are pregnant. it also gives private individual the right to bring a legal action against people or clinics flouting into who the you have to trust. department has said it will support a state abortion clinic, but the supreme court has not intervened. and now when that takes for my executive director of the libertarian national committee told us that states shouldn't impose sanctions on each other based on that bill it's composition. it's not a brand new thing, but it does seem like republicans and democrats are more divided than ever and more quick to propose laws than ever. so i think it could get to be a bigger deal. i don't agree with the law. however, i also do not agree with the city of portland, which is outside of texas. i don't think a city should retaliate or attempt to impose penalties or sanctions against

a state that passes the law that the majority of citizens in another state don't agree with. just like you saw texas speaking up against the way of the city of portland history to police officers, what do we expect? texas to impose sanctions and not allow travel to portland can just spiral out of control as cities and states are dominated by republicans or democrats. you know, different parties throughout america, and if they start trying to impose sanctions or penalties based on a political position, it'll just be, it will recap it in america. they canadian prime minister just intruder didn't get the warmest welcomes during an electricity hearing campaign stopping and terrier that after grovel was thrown at him. straighten made them move. the pan was holding his bosh. protests is good and good. and then house posted calling

for no cause and no look down. it will only have his shoulder and true to that, he was not hummed the incidents came unto the premier and slammed box mob that has been disrupting liberal campaign events in within a week. true to a cold s not junior election last month, vowing to lead the country out of a pandemic. however, he's called the recovery plans have faced sharp criticism along with the font. canadians are having to go to the post 2 years ahead of schedule independent political analysts alessandro bruna should have sold on today's decision to go to the polls. well, he appears to be on rocky ground. however, when they called the election a few weeks ago, actually election coincided by the way with the events in cobble with the

withdrawal of the american. it seemed a strategic move at the time because the liberals were actually doing quite well for awhile, particularly with with the vaccinations. there was a feeling that while flow and some say bumpy, and the little lock downs were easing during the summer. so there was a feeling of that, that there is some resolution approaching. i can see why they called this election now before whatever troubles would come as a result of the economic stimulus programs. we don't know in many countries in the west or in for a number of surprises, i think in, in the next coming months. so perhaps if a high, the, i being a strategist for 2 though who is seeking a majority government right now. he has a minority government the west african nation of gainey

railey draws global headlines, but a military crew that has sent shockwave through commodity market. that's because if it came metal producer, under the dramatic spike in aluminium prices, so market plays have sort of the chance to cash. and i'll see is 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 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 you. when to the african, you do, 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 governments by force of the gun and call for the immediate relief 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 estimates, a 3rd of the worlds of 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 prices 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, is 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. france companies as part of international conglomerates. play a big role in the morning sector as well as the privatization of the countries energy grid and relations between the 2 countries of drug, closer under the bottled presidents rule, fountain guinea have thrown bilateral relations with many high level meetings relations have intensified since as a condo came to power, convey one office in the country's 1st free elections in later years. like many leaders on the continent. he was accused of holding sham elections, which the opposition boycotted. cracking down on descent amid bloody protests costing dozens of lives. yet his rule is still considered better than an unknown.

tentative and guinea turbulence follows and all too familiar pattern, 3 cues, and just 10 years and laboring full will furnish colony. molly. a recent minutes he 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 africa. 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 regime and truly do not want to leave our life. what happens on the or school and the worst type of who is always the military one. so it's unfortunate,

but i don't see positive development in the future in the country. of course, this is a problem of most african and developing countries. it's that 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 break 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 doing from that sources for what they smoke size or gold or diamond. i don't think they would change for the regular regular guinea in europe today to mon use and have an hour's time up next to it's kind of talk the

when i went to the wrong when i was just don't i mean you world yes. to safe out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well the part we choose to look so common ground in the september the 11th 2001 day that reshaped the modern world. i remember watching the world trade center burn on a tv at the cia and i was standing there like this just looking at it. and a colleague of mine was standing next to me and he said, my god,

do they have any idea what they've done? we're going to kill every.
