1:01 pm
a doctor in florida cause he's outraged by refusing to treat patients who haven't had a coven vaccine. we debate the issue and understand where this doctor's getting frustration . she wants to help people and they haven't even bothered to have the backs. i think we need to respect the people who, who are so far, refusing the vaccine and trying to lure them into persuading them, making them comfortable in receiving the bags. ah, good evening. thanks for joining us. this is almost 2 decades have passed since the horrors of 911. the event, the trigger america's war on terror will continue to investigate the lasting impacts those conflicts of odds on the lives of millions in our special project.
1:02 pm
unheard voices. the will use all tools at our disposal killed our children for united states will bring people to the site. it was a pointless exercise among those who paid the highest price for the african invasion with the $457.00 british personnel killed inaction. but for those lucky enough to make it home, many was still left with lasting trauma. let's say the account of trevor cold su, served in the british army for 20 years, including 4 tours of afghanistan. and he received one of the highest honors for his service. i can take my life last year and i was in a wheel by the way, my mind and i nearly lost my son. i didn't know what to do. a lot of the guys i was with don't really talk to each other any more. i mean, they're going try to delete it and move away. so we'll put, put quite a few people lives in the last, but for 5 years, most recent is only
1:03 pm
a few months ago. i he's been through hell and you're still living it. you just get a feeling of fear somebody wouldn't understand, you know, giving the order to kill someone and stuff. you know, people get upset about things today that don't need a satellite. i want, so i walk in my coffee. i really just drink the coffee
1:04 pm
when i 1st went to go on, we were told that we were going to burn the poppy fields to the palms. we're not pon change them out. we landed in on our troops in a way that they haven't for many years, are going to be fighting alongside other countries in situations of great danger. solutions are very good at taking orders and just getting on with it or not questioning orders. but as you go to the years and you mature and you start to sort of have to bring in the thing for yourself and realize, okay, why are we here? what do we think we know looking at style? i think it was a pointless exercise. what's happening in the south of afghanistan, the residence about the taliban trying to get back power? ah, we want our way back. and the taliban had already got in the grind that we had already cleared. my friend my reader up just
1:05 pm
a couple stood on one. and died instantly, lost his arms and legs. i believe it's 17 casualties all from, from our group or the each of those casualties. you've got quite a few guys affected by what they've seen. it's trauma on top of trauma as a consul heights about over a weeks and weeks. and most the u. k. troops and officials work round the clock to a remorseless deadline. it's thanks to that colossal exertions this country has not been processed, check vetted, and ended more than 15000 people to safety in less than 2 weeks. i mean, it's been a complete mess. have binds administration, worked with the rest of his allies. it would have been, we were going to leave anyway, but we could have done it
1:06 pm
a systematic approach. for instance. you don't even the top of middle of the mindset to understand that if you're going to extract from a country, you bring back all your citizens from the embassy, put them into secure b. s and then fly them or what you don't do, your flyers, your military and angle. what about the, what about the civilians? come out and i got to go home, be 600016 weapon systems, 3 stars and bombs left behind. so that's munitions that can use fridays last night i was watching that i watched the video of taliban draft as us special forces moving in behind her to take control of fortune x, which, you know, it's just unbelievable. we talk to many people for a situation which we just give a point of a highly decorated full british army officer that trevor courts throughout the week will be hearing from more people. but soldiers and civilians whose lives were irrevocably altered by america's longest war. that's in our special coverage on
1:07 pm
heard voices. 9 days after the us pull out from afghanistan, the country has a new government in waiting, had consist mostly of hard line taliban militants. and the u. s. as it's in no rush to recognize that new regime said, the white house i did, it has little option. but to work with the very tara group, it went to war against 20 years ago. their new acting interior minister is her tiny network carriage. these wanted for a bombing that killed 6 people, including americans believed to have participated in cross border attack against us troops. there's a $10000000.00 balance on his head. why are we engaging? should we, should we not talk to the people who are overseeing of ghana san and just leave it and not get the rest of the american citizens out with the international community is watching the united states as watching its whether they let people depart the country who want to depart, whether they treat women across the country as they have committed to treat them
1:08 pm
and how they behave and operate, and therefore we're not moving toward recognition. at the same time, we're dealing with a reality world here. we have to engage in order to get american citizens and others out of the country. the taliban unveiled it's all my oh, interim government. on wednesday the military will be led by the son of the taliban founder. and the interior minister is a militant wanted in the united states for deadly bombings, including a 2017 truck blasting cobble that killed a $150.00 people taliban leadership. but also include members of the us, designated territory has who comedy and former guantanamo inmates. the person has been operating the u. s. military base in cuba for 19 years. in that time, almost $800.00 people have been held without charge or trial many subjected to water boarding stress positions and sleep deprivation. former c i a analyst, john kitty, i q who lifted the lid on abusive interrogations in guantanamo still stands by his
1:09 pm
decision to speak out. i have 0 regrets. i will never have any regrets. somebody had to tell the american people that the government was committing crimes in their names. you know, when we try to convince the world that we are a shining beacon of human rights and respect for civil rights and civil liberties. and then they see us carrying out a torture program at secret prisons around the world. it just makes us look so hypocritical. i can understand why any country would want to emulate the united states in a situation like that. the end of this 20 year military campaign by the united states in afghanistan. did you ever imagine that it would and so quickly, so frantically. no, i didn't imagine so, and i don't think any americans did just like no american assumed in september or october of 2001 that 20 years later we would be having this conversation. you know,
1:10 pm
president biden said just about a month ago that he believed that the african government could hold out for 6 more months. in fact, they held out for 6 days. and i think that that he gave that 6 month time because that's what he was told by the cia. and it just goes to show you that this was another intelligence failure in a long line of intelligence failures. i think the asked at the afghan people rightly resent the united states for 20 years of occupation and then in the end, nothing to show for it, but death and destruction. we made this terrible, terrible mistake called nation building, where we decided that it was, it was incumbent upon us to impose a western style democracy on a country that never had any history of western style democracy. and then we couldn't understand why it didn't stick. what we have to have is true and robust,
1:11 pm
congressional oversight, which we have not had in decades. what you see general is a group of congressional cheerleaders for the cia, the f, b i, the defense department, and the state department. and that has to stop. there has to be legitimate, true oversight, where members of congress tell the government to stock crimes are being committed and then we have to see those crime prosecuted and see the people who carried out those crimes punished. we haven't seen that in many, many years. meanwhile, the united nations human rights party has warned that account is done is facing a total collapse in basic services with food and life. saving a bound to run out estimates of the $600000000.00 in a will be needed by the end of the year just to prevent a catastrophe. you and also reports nearly half of garrison's population of 30 a 1000000 needs humanitarian aids among them. 3 and a half 1000000 people internally displaced by conflict. red cross president pizza
1:12 pm
mara traveled to the country and visited medical facilities before meeting with the new african government. and he spoke to r t the on the one side, you will see all that the remnants of war. you see these camps, distorted vehicles, military vehicles. you see the struction where fighting has taken place, including in some of the cities like glasgow and others. and on the other hand, you see an normality of life and normal life. you see that this country is and has been affected by 40 years of war and by poverty. and the 2 together create enormous human period meet. we had a long conversation with marla, about the deputy of now we're now in government,
1:13 pm
a very substantive conversation with him self and with some of his clothes, their age and collaborators in order to ensure that the humanitarian space, which is needed for a good, impactful and mutually human, terry and assistance are guaranteed. i think we got a lot of understanding and also good sense that we need further dialogues as we move forward. the doctor in miami is making headlines after announcing that she won't treat anyone in person who hasn't had a coven vaccine. linda mata she any claims that she's been forced to draw a red line by her concern for public health. we will no longer subject our patients and stuff, so unnecessary risk when it comes to safety of others. when it comes to the fact
1:14 pm
that it's a global health problem and community health problem. at this point, i really said this is where it draws the line and the send for me. the doctor says that her decision complies with ethical standards because she still offering phone appointments on exempting people who can get vaccinated on medical grounds with a highly contagious delta varying to cove. it's still a concern doctor, me out of cheney joins the global chorus of those calling for a greater vaccination push. we put this issue up for debate. she's obviously set out a standard in her practice and everybody knows about that. then all of our patients know, and she's using, i'm sure, computer based telemedicine. however, if they require in person care, she'll have to refer them elsewhere. here in my own medical center, the vanderbilt university medical center. we're not doing that. we're using good infection control precautions to take care of all patients infected with coded and
1:15 pm
not vaccinated or not. and understand where this doctor's getting frustrated. because there she is. she wants to deal with people. she wants to help people, but she's got people who present themselves who wanted to present themselves, her medical center, and they haven't even bothered to have the back look. i believe is everybody's duty . no man is an island and everybody should be getting vaccinated for a few high profile cases that gets picked up by the media. i think that was a b b. c presenter who got a blood clot from a vaccination and di me. so we've got a lot of attention. can you understand people reading something like that and thinking, i don't want to die. i don't want to be one of the lucky ones who gets a blood clot and dies from this. and it probably statistically isn't going to kill me any way. cobit, i'm going to take my chances. can you sympathize with that mentality? the average person hasn't the background in science and they're fearful fearful of the vaccine and fearful of the virus. and that gets them in the middle,
1:16 pm
and they don't act at all. certainly not receiving the vaccine. we've given this vaccine to more people in a short period of time before we know have a bad experience, not only in our own country, but around the world with this fact. we know how it works. it's not perfect, but it sure is very, very good. and if we all took it, it could really poured the further spread of virus. the internet is a great place to spread conspiracies. and i think mouse where is coming from? will i from the wild conspiracies that bill gains, he put a chip next. what he's to the, this is an experiment who lack seen, he's not an experimental vaccine vaccine that's being tested. what about the societal him but couldn't wind up with a situation where you've got, you know, for example, almost half of the population in america who haven't been vaccinated. you could have a large percentage of people saying we will refuse this mandatory vaccination. could
1:17 pm
you then and it with a real societal split and a kind of to tear society where you've got people who actually have a lot less freedom because they refuse vaccination versus mandate. i don't really want to be mandatory. there shouldn't be a need for that. people should be selfless, not selfish, be creates in our country, you know, they're talking all if you have enough vaccination, this law can appall tied state. it isn't a part. we can't let these people who got these stupid ideas. well, this so called hesitance, i think we need to respect the people who, who are so far, refusing the vaccine and trying to lure them into persuading them, making them comfortable in receiving the vaccine. the messaging service what's out prides itself on advanced encryption technology, which supposedly keeps your message in private, but it turns out most uses are handing over for more data to the parent company.
1:18 pm
facebook than thoughts to meet. she pack explains every one likes their privacy. and when you use a messenger like what's up that keeps hammering on and on about how secure it is, you're inclined to believe that your private data stays well private. well, shocker, that's apparently not the case. what's up turns out to be, well, not that private and it's owner facebook keep thing, hundreds of millions in fines for privacy violations. and that's after numerous promises from zocker berg about insuring a truly secure experience on their platforms. i believe the future of communication will increasingly shift to private encrypted services where people can be confident, what they say to which others stay secure. this is the future i hope will help bring about that was back in 2019 and what were supposed to be the messenger to bring about a part of that private future. but come on,
1:19 pm
this is facebook we're talking about, according to a recent investigation by the pro public a platform, it turns out facebook actively undermined its security assurances. zone encrypted data available for scrutiny is extensive. it includes the names and profile images of a uses. what's up groups, as well as the phone number, profile, photo status, message phone, but your level language and time zone unique mobile phone id and ip address. and that's not all. other unencrypted data reportedly includes access to the users entire list of electronic devices. any related facebook or instagram accounts the last time they use the app and even a history of any previous violations? not exactly what you would call complete privacy, although a spokesperson for what's ab did reiterate that users messages are still encrypted and are only seen when they are forwarded to the user submitted report system. the decisions we make around how we build out app are focused around the privacy of our users, maintaining a high degree of reliability and prevention abuse. but the company doesn't just
1:20 pm
stop at batting accounts, which had been reported by users. they also allegedly share all the information they have with the justice department. apparently, what's ab metadata played an important role in the arrest of a former senior advisory at the us treasury? natalie may edwards, who had been sent to prisoner for leaking, sensitive information to the media, describing how dirty money flows through us banks edwards has maintained. she leak the documents in a bid to expose corruption. notice was accountability and american people had the right to know what was occurring within treasury and that it was a national security issue and that american lives were in jeopardy. instead of the government doing their job, they decided to come after a whistleblower with the increasing rate at which the u. s. government requests information from all facebook affiliated platforms. it's plausible to assume there will be more arrests based on may. the data in the near future. and while facebook promises but it cares about security and privacy,
1:21 pm
if it's users at the end of the day, it doesn't seem to have an issue collecting and giving out information to those who asked for. it seems like the company is more concerned with stopping the spread of what they call disinformation. and with trying to assert their influence in politics, instead of actually remembering that they started as a social media site, it's true to say that nothing is really private nowadays, but that doesn't change the fact that when a company assures and promises its users that something will be encrypted and they, they will not be able to review the content of their messages when that trust is broke. i think that they should be entitled to, at least, frankly, at this point, some sort of compensation. there are different protections for consumers in every industry, but for some reason, tech companies seem to be the only ones out there that can, once again raise their on terms of service and for their customers trust with no consequences, largely. and i think it's about time that the actual elected officials in the world
1:22 pm
start asserting their power against these tech janes and reminding the silicon valley billionaires that no, they are not our rulers, and that nobody elected them. they are not above the law. the biggest terror trial in french history got underway wednesday almost 6 years after the deadliest ever attack on french soil. 130 people were killed more than 400 injured back in 2015. when 9 islamic state members carried out age, harvest rampage in paris, me the me.
1:23 pm
well, the trial is expected to last 9 months. there will be $140.00 days of hearings evolving . $330.00 louis $300.00 victims and testimony from the then president francois along the buddies to be the sole surviving attacker. defintely told the court that he was in islamic state soldier. the other suspects standing trial are accused of helping to organize the attack along with providing guns and cos. when we say, what is justice? these guys took kalashnikov machine guns and money to kill 130 people, even though they weren't that well trained. they were young people, my friends, and i went to drink beer and listen to music. i was spending time with my friends. what did we do wrong? nothing. and we were shot. these memories are impossible to get. them must be justice and not a victim. as such, i was not effective mentally or physically. i wasn't the place that was attacked
1:24 pm
and they've come here because that take it in which is so far removed from everyday life is now the subject of a trial. 60 years later, during these past 6 years, the attack has been the main focus of law is tv programs and victim support organizations. alex don off is an author of a book about one of the battle and terrorists. he believes the trial should be political, not criminal, besides 911, that's the the other major terrorist attack on the west. so yes, it is a major try. when fortunately, there's only 2 people that are sitting in the the accused box as they say, i don't expect any major regulations to come out because it's, it's going to be a criminal trial. it should be a political trial that's, that's an issue. political is radical is,
1:25 pm
should be talked about on this 9 month trial, which i don't think they'll have the courage to address that issue. you have to also understand that we are in a, in an electoral cycle. the presidential election is $200.00 days from now. it will overlap with the trial which should end in may 2022. so anything that will come out from the trial or condition that campaign. so that's, that's the only thing we can that would be interesting. otherwise, it's just another clinical trial. okay, up to date with hor on the headline stories in half an hour. the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a
1:26 pm
robot must obey the orders given by human beings, accept where's the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously, is to great track rather than fear take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real summoning a demon, a little bout must protect its own existence with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk
1:27 pm
the i use well, can fit alex salmon? sure. we examine one of the consequences of all for you kid ministrations. i live in corporate to sweep through the population. although cases have been surging through the late summer, the for whole nation for taking comfort in the fact that mass vaccination has weakened the link between faction and hospitalized ation. thus, although cases had been reaching near record levels, the pressure on the health service from the contagion is much less than it was in previous wave of the by this. however,
1:28 pm
while the vaccines appear to be limiting the acute impact of the condition, there is still grace and certainty about the long term effects and in particular about the conditions of long coping. on today, shall we look at the science and the personal impact of this debilitating illness. professor danny, all of the department of immunology and peter called london, is among the foremost specialist starting this issue that we've done it's, it's a clinical dr. specializing in pediatric infectious diseases. and in it to me, she is also one of the know, estimated one know when people suffering from long call that the administration had no mandate, no political 1st to treat the nose and messages in response to i show last week on the forever wars when alex interviewed cardinal lord and wilkerson, the former chief of staff to us 6 of state general colin powell and she had already clocked up over 725000 views on facebook alone in henderson says,

1:30 pm
. best one yet. keep them coming to it's steven right degrees and says, what is to that one? great interview with top guest. and finally robin jewess says they were never a weapon to tell it, but one of mass destruction is totally delusional. to think otherwise. post covered $900.00 syndrome or long core of it, is still one of the under reported. stories of the pandemic in the 1st year, attention was understandably focused on the dramatic acute cases of corporate cry. tonight, the emergency care wars. however, it is gradually becoming understood that long term debilitation from the aftermath of the disease may be a socially and economically significant as immediate pandemic. alex to be deleting academic in the field. professor danny elfman of imperial college fest, danny elfman. thank you so much.
