the with the the news ahead of the anniversary of 911 arch, he's been looking at the lasting impact of the us led war on terror. today we'll be hearing from a british army veteran about the devastating toll of the 20 year afghan conflict. people for situation which we just gave appointment. also had the taliban unveils its new government for afghan. instead, including a terrorist on the f. b i as most wanted to put washington left with no other option. it must cooperate with the incoming leadership and the australian high court rules that media companies can be held liable for defamatory 3rd party

comments posted on their facebook page. the decision didn't go down well with many news outlets. as we discussed with our guy needs to be accountability directly on those and posting them basically able to do their own research and looking into things that people are claiming and the infection who should have been mentioned, they can also what is that, what those i broadcasting lie from moscow to the world. this is rti international. my name is donald quarter. welcome to the program. almost 2 decades had passed since the tragedy of 911. the event that triggered america's war on terror. we're continuing to investigate the lasting impact that that conflict has had on the lives of millions in our special project on heard voices. the will use all

tools at our disposal. killed our children to united states will bring people to watch the site. it was a pointless exercise among those who paid the highest price for the afghan invasion were the $457.00 british personnel killed in action. but for those lucky enough to make it home, many were still left with lasting trauma. let's hear the account of trevor colt who served in the british army for 20 years. he saw 4 tours of afghanistan and received one of the case, highest honors for his service. i take my life last year. i was in a wheel by the way, my mind ended. i needed lost my son, and i didn't know what to do. a lot of the guys i was with don't really talk to each other anymore. i mean there and to try to delete it and move away small. but

quite a few people lives in the last 4 or 5 years. i think the most recent is only a few months ago. guys i few been through hell and you're still living it. you just get a feeling of fear somebody wouldn't understand, you know, and given the order to kill someone and stuff you, people get upset of it, things today that don't maybe look satellite i want. so i woke and my coffee, i really just drink the coffee

when i 1st went to the gallery on, we were told that we were going to burn the puppy feels to the promise to work and do not, not planned, change them out. we landed and gone on our troops in a way that they haven't for many years are going to be fighting alongside other countries and situations. a great danger, soonish are very good at taking orders and just getting on with it. i'm not questioning orders, but as you go to the years and you mature and you start to sort of have to bring the thing yourself and realize, okay, why are we here? what do we think we know looking at? honestly, i don't think it was a pointless exercise. what's happening in the south of afghanistan? residence about the taliban trying to get back power the water way back. and the taliban had already got in the grind,

but we'd already cleared my friend. my really was just a couple stood on one and died instantly, lost his arms and legs. i believe it's 17 casualties all from, from our group out of each of those casualties. you've got quite a few guys affected by what they've seen. it's trauma on top of trauma, it's a constant heights about over a weeks and weeks, and most the u. k. troops and officials of work round the clock to a remorseless deadline. it thanks to the colossal exertions this country has not been processed, checked, vetted, and ended more than 15000 people to safety in less than 2 weeks. i mean, it's been a complete mess. hard by ins and ministration worked with the rest of his allies.

it would have been, we were going to leave anyway, but we could have done up a systematic approach. for instance. you don't even need to have a military 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 bias and then fly them or what you don't do, your flyer, your military, and then go, what about the, what are the civilians come out and i got tional that got home be 600000 m 16 weapon systems, 3 stars and bombs left behind. so that's munitions that can use for id. like last night i was watching that i watch a video of telephone draft as us special forces moving in behind her to take control of fortune x. which, you know, it's just unbelievable. we've lost too many people for situation which we just gave up on. finally decorated former british army officer trevor cult. throughout the week we'll be hearing from more people both soldiers and civilians whose lives were forever changed by americans. longest war that's in our special

coverage on heard voices. 9 days after the u. s. pull out from afghanistan, the country has a new government and waiting. it consists mostly of hard lying taliban militants. and the u. s. says it's in no rush to recognise the new regime. that said, the white house is added that it has no other option, but to work with the very terror group it went to war against 20 years ago. acting interior minister is tying networks terrorists these want it for bombing the kill. think people including americans believe to have participated in cross border attack against us troops. there's a $10000000.00 bounty on his head. why are we engaging? should we not? should we not talk to the people who are overseeing ganna, stan, 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 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 male 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 u. s. for deadly bombings including a 2017 truck blast and cabal that killed 150 people. a taliban leadership will also include members of the u. s. designated terror group and former guantanamo inmates . the prison has been operating at a u. s. military base in cuba for 19 years. in that time, almost $800.00 people have been held there without charge or trial. many having been subjected to water boarding stress positions and sleep deprivation. former c i a analyst, john kerry. aku who lifted the lid on abuse of interrogations in guantanamo told

our chief neil harvey that he still stands by his 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 name. 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,

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 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,

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 stop 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 body has warned that if dana stan is facing a total collapse in basic services with food and life saving aid about to run out, it's estimated at least $600000000.00. an aide will be needed by the end of the year to prevent a catastrophe. you and also reports that nearly half of afghanistan's population of 38000000 people needs humanitarian aid. among them are 3 and

a half 1000000 people internally displaced by the conflict. the red cross president peter maurer, traveled to the country and visited medical facilities before meeting with the new afghan government. he also spoke to us earlier on the one side. you will see all that these are the remnants of war. you see these are camps distorted vehicles, military vehicles, you see the struction where fighting has taken place, including in some of the cities like classical regard and others. and on the other hand, you see and normally of life and normalcy of 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 humanitarian need. we

had a long conversation with marla about at the deputy of now we're now in government, a very substantive conversation with him self and with some of his closer aids and collaborators in order to ensure that the humanitarian space, which is needed for a good, impactful and usually humanitarian assistance are guaranteed, i think we got a lot of understanding and also good sense that we need for it or dialogues as we move forward. high court in australia has ruled that some of the country's largest media companies can now be held liable for comments that users post on their social media pages. the case was triggered by dylan vol, or former detainee and in australian youth detention center. he claims that

negative comments posted on an image of him, shackled in a spit hood on social media were defamatory major news outlets including sky news in the sydney morning herald appealed the ruling saying they can't be responsible for 3rd party comments. the decision though, was upheld by the high court. the acts of the palace in facilitating encouraging and the boy assisting the posting of comments spied a 3rd party facebook uses rendered them publishes of those comments. the appellants attempts to betray themselves as passive on unwitting victims of facebook functionality has an air of unreality. having take an action to secure the commercial benefits of the facebook functionality, the appellants bear the legal consequences. facebook has yet to comment on the court decision. the social network did add the ability to disable comments back in march, a feature that australia news outlets may now be forced to use something they say restrict freedom of speech. this decision was time. the exchange of ideas

incursions facebook uses to turn off a put unit is for commons. i call on australia is attorneys general to address this anomaly and bring australian law into line with comparable western democracies. my colleague niel harvey discussed the issue earlier with our panel of guests. we need some accountability needs to be accountability directly on those posting comments. and if you want to pursue those people, you can. but at the same time, if the media companies are encouraging this by skewing what they publish on facebook and other platforms to generate interest, to have those little rabble rousing plate bite, then they need to share some of the blame it. it's supposed people actually say, comment section, seriously, most people read comments be entertained. they know it's maybe a bunch of yahoo's and most people are basically able to do their own research and

looking into things that people are claiming and the section, it's kind of a stretch to hold a publisher accountable for defamation or what have you, based on just what someone on the internet wants to say on their facebook feed, there's a fight now for the attention by media organizations. and they do use the comment section as a way of whipping up interest in a story. and that must be fully aware of the inflammatory things that is said, the money isn't very, very hateful and very defamatory on many subjects, but it serves that purpose. do they need to take more responsibility for? this is the double edge sword. this is the top issue because, you know, in one way we should take personal responsibility. we should be able, we should be allowed to have the freedom of speech regardless of what that is. and i hope that people have the wherewithal to know what to follow, what was nor now with facebook, this outlook does not matter, has an audience of millions and millions of people. 1.2000000000 people around the

world. and so the audience is much, much larger, you're looking at a lot more chances for damages or onto one reputation. and so that's why i think, i think at the very least we should have been mentioned or, or look at in part of that is having these large audiences. because we know that they can also choose what is that and what goes in especially comments. but what they were saying here was that when an article published, even if they try not mention the name, they are still, it's still be on the part of that article to have the comments. because you chose to put it, you're encouraging people to comment urging people to say thing, whatever that might cause to a 3rd party or somebody else. and that is what they're looking at is that people a lot more people are going to read comments from john, go with 10 followers. if it's on some major tabloid article, or even any major news, organization, home and sections of any website, they seem like a kind of a double edged sword. seems like the companies enjoy them. maybe they kind of create more interest. they generate a buzz around an article or a particular topic,

but the, but also that come with that dangerous side that people will say, had a lot of hateful, potentially defamatory stuff. is this the best solution now that what's being proposed or is there a better way to go? we have to start training. people smarter about how they take information and what they read online. the rational people. busy know when they're being misled, they know when something a quick page, they know it's a really common section and maybe fall of it, or they need to look into something more deeply. you know, as a free speech i polluted. i think that if you want to go down this route, the owner of these to go on the owner of the property, which is facebook, you know, in new york time to someone at the facebook page is the most common think you're kind of the own, their page facebook got very clear, the 3rd to serve as a basement owns everything you put on their site. so it does it, it seems suspicious that this comes down onto the publisher and not the publisher being the news organization and not facebook itself. first of all, within facebook,

they can shut off coming, and they're not particularly worried about having driving up a big item. i think for all they can simply go it. and secondly, they told me susan, directly, if a comment is in against their all, they have to be given the opportunity to take it down. and therefore, if somebody points out the family tree comment is being published and the public hit publish as a publisher to do so. if the publisher ignore this opportunity and doesn't take down the very, very brightly, the publisher should buy the music. the messaging service whatsapp prides itself on advanced encryption technology, which supposedly keeps your messages private. but as it turns out, most users are handing over far more data to the apps parent company facebook than previously thought as r t is dimitri polk explains. everyone likes their privacy and when you use

a messenger like what's app 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 was supposed to be the messenger to bring about a part of that private future. but come on, 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. the owning crypt

data available for scrutiny is extensive. it includes the names and profile images of the 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 user's 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 i 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. our focus around the privacy of our users maintaining a high degree of reliability and prevention abuse. but the company doesn't just stop at batting accounts, which have been reported by users. they've also allegedly share all the information

they have with the justice department. apparently, what's up? 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 leaked the documents in a bid to expose corruption. notice was accountability and the american people had the right to know what was occurring within treasury and that it was a national security issue. and the american lives were in jeopardy. instead of the government doing the 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 of arrest based on may. the data in the near future. and while facebook promises but it cares about security and privacy of its users at the end of the day, it doesn't seem to have an issue collecting and giving out information to those who ask for it seems 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 reg, they're 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 start asserting their power against these tech james and reminding the silicon valley billionaires that know they are not our rulers, and that nobody elected them. they are not above the law. russia and its neighbor,

bella roofs are moving towards closer integration. the leaders of 2 of the 2 countries met in moscow late on thursday and the ongoing spat between minsk and the european union over refugees was on top of the agenda as really a tranquil explains while now there is definitely a new reason for tension between the european union and bell roofs, which have already been locking horns for a while now because of many different issues in particular because of the attitude by brussels, to the comp, think between the government and minsk, and the opposition there. now you can definitely add, have again refugees to that list. brussels has accused men's of taking advantage of this as a tool for pressure on the european blog. now, on the other hand, bell roost is saying that the european union is turning a blind eye on how poland and lithuania are mis treating the african

refugees and on how they're pretty much taking them out of the country, back into bellows. during the press conference, the journalists asked the 2 presidents whether moscow and mens were ready to react to all this accordingly. with some joint action, a lot of my potent replied that this is not a rush of business. because here we're talking about the border between poland and bell rouge, between lithuania and bruce, but the russian president did go on to criticize the european union. what he meant was that european countries are in touch with the taliban. however, they are refusing to talk to the bell, russian government directly, which never came to power as a result of an armed take over with you. my answer is go and talk to the bell original authorities, european countries talk about the catastrophe. enough chemist on blame themselves for leaving the people the but some african refugees have been pushed out of europe

towards better versus borders with lithuania and poland. i don't understand this logic, you can blame dollars for anything, but at least taking the afghans went to push them out to back to afghanistan. but then will they ask us to get them out of there again, there is no logic. a much wider discussion on the issue of refugees and other security issues related to again, a stan is expected next week when alexander lucas shantell and vladimir putin will be joined by other heads of state from the region induce on bay. that's the capital to g, g. a stand only about 200 kilometers away from of ghana. stan this only proves how crucial these issues are at this point. but it also shows how the most important regional player, such as russia and china, along with their post. soviet allies are ready to deal with all that together. that's the news for this. our stay tuned for your world news headlines and just

about 30 minutes. me, ah, having alternate realities experience or even live in like a role or does my dear you know, especially during and where you can go anywhere in the game world, go everywhere. you know, choose the game that you want. any open roll game to that. and you are now on a vacation in a place where you're like flying helicopters or you're, you're on beaches, you're, you're in a city drive, you know, what are the car you want? you know, you name it these, these are getaways the war on drugs started as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the wonder? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota. it's got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a tragic,

told us that andrew was competing short form. this is 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 that. something else to be happening the long . oh, when i went to the wrong, why don't i just don't the rules? yes. to see out. the thing becomes the after kid and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. a folks next of a good cat. and it's funny that i would call

a good cat since he's the dog was received on i think he did. the dog was very way back. he's got, well, he's got a great, i love the, the rubric that he works off of that there are no bad pets, they're bad owners and you train the owners and you have a good pet, good dog. and i think that's probably a lot of true for that. we'll talk to about it. caesar law right up to this. dennis miller plus one. the folks welcome to dennis miller plus one. i talked to the scott before. i shouldn't call the dog was for cat. sorry, my phone hipster stuff. sees him a lot of the show caesar's a dog trainer with over 25 years experience working with man's best friend. he is most well known obviously for his emmy nominated series. dog whisper was caesar milan before his successful show, caesar focused on rehabilitating severely aggressive dogs and found that the dog

psychology center in los angeles. that's a quandary for dog because they're often told to get off the couch, but the dog psychology center. they are encouraged to hop up on the couch, is a new show called caesar milan better human, better dog like that, which is now streaming on disney plus, she's are milan. how are you, my friend? doing great, great. but i do want to say something. i don't train dogs, i train people, you know, so i know they put me in the category of training dogs. i don't, i don't, i make sure that i train the human so they know how to connect, communicate, and then train the dog. that's what makes the well trained point noted. my friend now listen before we get started, i spent the weekend with my son and his friends dog benny.
