the the report suggests the u. s. mistakenly targeted in afghan aid worker in a drone strike, killing 10 members of one family. we hear from a former american throne operator who tells us of its own experiences, killing innocent people. every shot that we took, like they're cheering, congratulating each other. they're high fiving each other. people are getting promoted because of this stuff. me more in our review of the week here, naughty a series of lead unconfirmed messages from the u. s. military feel. the panic of the redraw from afghanistan, the troops unable to rescue desperate american citizens for my special force and soldier who shared the encrypted message,

gives this his take on what happened. our biggest problem getting people out, actually the u. s. government, it's actually not the time. we've seen the military lead people behind the gate. the us military was not letting even civilian americans with passports. american asked, the british prime minister admitted to breaking a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix the shore, full in health and social care funding. ah, hello welcome. the latest developments and the look back at the last 7 days to watch and weekly here on our t international footage does suggest the u. s. strange, striking cabal intended for terrorists killed an aide worker loading his car with water. 10 civilians died in the attack including 7 children at the end of last month. us forces said the man vehicle much the description of one used by the

terrorist group i c. k. they also said there was a large secondary bluff after the strike suggesting that he was transporting explosives. but it turns out that that claim was false. according to an investigation by the new york times the work had even been employed by an american n g o. well, there are many similar fights and victims of the 20 year u. s. campaign. in afghanistan, we discover many more in our in depth investigation on heard voices. the will use all tools at our disposal. killed our children to united states will bring people to watch us. it was a pointless exercise. while in this episode, we talked to brandon bryant, who flew predator drones for the u. s. military to help pay for his education. he spoke to us about his own personal experiences which include his belief that he

killed innocent men. after my 1st shot, i took the 3 innocent men killed, that i believe are innocent. i called my mother afterwards and cried. and she told me that it was good that i felt bad about it, because if i felt good about it, i was, i would just be another psychopath. ah no other way. and again, for my education and the military showed up one day and i will pay for your education if you serve for a minimum of 4 years. how can anyone turn that down? i started and comes down and turns around now goes in the military grade wraps and

since your job is to kill people and break things. so you got all these young enlisted and girls. galvan guys who are out of high school who have no experience in anything who are now basically video game snipers for months of training, made that put in the position to make these decisions. the are the 1st 3 months i was in active missions. i watched enemy forces die or friendly forces die and the forces die and then innocence and people die. and so i got to see like the impact on everybody. ah

ah ah, mental degredation with the proper term in every shot that we took like they're cheering their congratulating each other. they're high fiving each other people are getting promoted because of this stuff. it's like a withering away of who you are. me, but he or hunting a man named and what all the lucky he was a mom from peerman. ah, i was told one day going in that president obama himself was up and give the order

himself to me. and i got this euphoric feeling. the death of the lock is a major blow tacos most active operational affiliate. and then his 16 year old son was killed 2 weeks later and trying to strike when i asked some of the people that i knew why they struck romanella lucky. they said, because they didn't want them to become a figure. the 1st thing that trump did in office was kill and our, our rockies 8 year old daughter. well we see this thing with the terrorist. you have to take out their families, maybe to them, it seems practical, but to me it seems evil. ah, there was an incident involved killing of civilians. they might have been to new zealand white civilians in afghanistan. president obama got on television himself

and was saying it was not the fault of intelligence or the military leadership. it was defaulted to drone operators that cause this and that really upset me because we get no intel. i felt like he was blaming me. commander in chief of the united states military was pointing a little me and saying, oh, all those things that were other people fault, it's actually your for the ah, i didn't know who i was anymore. i didn't know what i believed anymore. i didn't know my purpose anymore. i almost kill myself with a 9 millimeters 6 p 2266, our german law enforcement weapon. and the only reason i don't is because of him. like he said, he just wants he wanted to go for a walk. and i'm sitting there with the guy in my hand and i ready to do it. and

he's just like, dad, let's go for what, let's go for walk. i'm going to go for a walk. i. ready have more stories from people he's lives with rather changed by americans. longest for that scene are special series on heard voices, which can also watch online. no more americans were allowed to leave afghanistan on thursday. the taliban giving them the green light to flee on charter flights. almost 10 days after the official end of the u. s. the troll many more, however, remain as the biden administration grapples with the full light, with a series of fleet messages now shedding light on his failed efforts to get it. citizens act an american citizens. yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. well, those tax there which haven't been verified, were disclosed by michael young. he's a war correspondent and former us special forces soldier and was among civilians

working with the military and private networks to rescue stranded americans. he gave us details of his conversations with a high ranking u. s. army officer. that colonel was not physically present, but he was in contact major general chris donahue who, who was the combatant commander on the ground. and so that colonel wasn't physically there. in fact, he was very frustrated and you can see from that tax, there was more tax those while he was really demonstrating a lot of frustration at one point you said, can you ram the gate and other intended with the car and get in? i mean, he wanted to rescue those people and he, i hope that his tag cause him any problems. he's the kind of general we need. no, he didn't want to follow those orders. he wanted to get them out. we had 3 jets on the ground that were private jets that were paid for by a friend of mine's team. his name is rick clay, and his team had paid for 3 jets. they were on the ground civilian jets waiting.

and the us military was not letting even civilian americans with passports, american passports, our biggest problem on getting people out actually is the u. s. government. it's actually not the todd man. i know that sounds crazy, but the biggest problem is not valid in italy. man, i'm actually it's in some cases of actually helped us. you can't even make up the stuff. this is like something for a weird movie. so taliban is saying that us forces, happy to come and get them, or call us to let them through. nobody can make up the stuff. i don't care who's fault it is the department of state or the military. it's all of your fault. you didn't let them in period they were at the beginning. then of course, the next day we have a pentagon in the white house. they're going know, you know, all american citizens who wanted to get in could have gotten in. but they couldn't actually make it to the airport and were saying, excuse my language, i don't know if i can say this on russian t v. they definitely were at the gate period. michael on there also released

conversations with contract is who were in cabal. one of them claiming that $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to enter the airport even if they had us passports with them. the source claim that some were beaten and assaulted in their efforts to get in and added to that. he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as a face to terrifying weight. however, the commanders apparently refused to step in another contract to, to wrote that us generals new their citizens were stuck outside the airport, but still wouldn't grant access even proposed paying of the government such as the u. k. to help lift americans and confirm to the general mark, millie, chairman of the joint chiefs, his staff, had made the decision not to open the gate. can you confirm? general milly was mentioned by name as the leader that is condemning them to death . yes, i can confirm that mentioned by name or the picture coming from those conversations

is in stark contrast to the narrative coming from the biden administration. they continually stress the situation was under control, that no american citizens would be left behind. what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create a safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. i think they're responsible, say americans are stranded, they are not. we are committed to bringing americans who want to come home homes completed one of the biggest err left in history. extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. well after the evacuation mark leon wrote this scathing letter to the armies high command highlighting some of the missteps. specifically that the us nationals were

abandoned at the gates, while 3 empty jets paid for by volunteers were actually waiting for them. we asked the pentagon to clarify, although they did declined to comment on believes that the lack of transparency has made matters worse. that's what americans already say. we leave no one behind. right. and right now we've seen the military leave people behind the gate. but it's, it's a sin to say, well, i'm just going to live because it's humiliating. so we just have to leave behind and lie about it, know we're going to try to get them out and we're getting a lot of them out right now. the military in the department state are in our way, at this point. so in addition to leaving people behind, they are stopping us from getting them out. now, department state isn't our way where we want the military and the government to get out of our way. we don't need their help anymore. i mean, now that we're getting success as civilians because you know, we can do it, we don't need them, we're faster or more efficient. and we don't have the bureaucracy and we're just

smarter than they are. so this is high when merrick is war on terror in afghanistan has come to an end. the taliban back empower, and american citizens desperate to get tagged left behind. but i did the 20 year long. u. s. afghan mission actually begin artist, contributor richard met hurst. explain. 20 years ago, the attacks of september, the 11th, changed the world forever. on the 20th anniversary, we wanted to take a look back at the fruitful event that launched the war on terror, a cataclysmic shift in world politics. so big we have to go country by country just to see how much damage is cost. join me as we look back on america's war on terror, or is it should rightfully me cold war of terror. everyone's talking about the u. s . withdrawal. no one seems to be asking why the us invaded afghanistan in the 1st place in 2000. and 120 years ago, the attacks of september, the 11th,

were used by the united states not just to invade afghanistan, but to start an entire war on terror. within 24 hours, they had already started the master valence programs and not even a week after $911.00, congress passed something called the authorization for the use of military force. the a on this didn't even specify of ghana, stan all. kyra for the taliban. just refer to the people who attacked or helped attack america on 911, which is a really great way to bomb anyone. you don't like, just accuse them of being an archive supporter. and that's what every single president, since george bush has done. they've used the a o m f to bong 19 countries. so after 911, the u. s. a. q is the taliban who are in power. and again, a sense of sheltering the some of the line and al qaeda. the taliban actually offered to give bin laden up. if the u. s. could just prove he was guilty, but bush rejected this offer multiple times. and just like in 2000, when people say gas, dan is going to become a terror hub, which is all it gets back then tony blair said ok that was destroyed one month after the invasion. literally,

we had destroyed virtually all the terrorist training camps of al qaeda. we destroyed an enormous amount of the military infrastructure of the taliban. their power, as far as the existence completely taken out, so of america's war on terror was supposed to beat terrorism. why are there more suicide attacks and more people dying from terrorism? since 2001? just look and how the number of deaths keeps rising and rising and rising. if america lost 3000 people on 911 again, austin has had multiple 9 eleven's since the invasion. and just like the people in new york city had nothing to do with america's foreign policy. neither do the people of gaston have anything to do with al qaeda at all. in fact, the hijackers were mostly from saudi arabia, even brought their passports to prove it. another development on saturday, new york officials revealed at a news conference here in the city that hijackers passport was found blocks from the world trade center crash side. if you can believe, ap, when people in the west see the war and go all, where did we get out of it?

hold on a 2nd. what about again, what did they get out of? it was not the victim here. the average age of denison is 18, meaning most of afghans have grown up only knowing war because every president has kept the war of terror. boeing their whole lives. they've been hearing empty promises, one nation building and democracy. well, here's what that entails. 50000 civilians dead over 26000 children wounded, 3000000 refugees, more terrorism, more deaths from terrorism, more corruption, more instability. and according to former, again, president honey 90 percent of adkins live in extreme poverty, which is a great thing to say shortly before you run away with a 170000000 dollars in cash. and you know, again, it's, dan was a scam and a cash cow. when the vice president starting the war, dick cheney is the former c o, one of the companies making money from the war. bush and blair didn't invade afghanistan for the sake of women's rights or democracy. stop white washing their

imperialist crimes. they started the war and tara, based on lies. did the nation build? no, did counter terrorism work? no. was the taliban defeated? no. did western corporations make lots of money? yes. the telephone is back in power. even including people who are portraits one time a baby. and we're back to square one except lots of people died and suffered. and so this idea that you can fight terrorism and impose democracy on others by invading them is a lie which falls flat on its face. when confronted with the fact that terrorism and deaths from terrorism increased after 2001, this either indicates extreme malice, or at best, enormous incompetence, an abject failure, and other weight. no one should have ever invaded afghanistan, just because the war and i've got to stand has ended. does not mean the war on terror. has the war machine isn't going anywhere? i was archie contributor, richard met hurst and they suite the taliban position, strengthened even more with the announcement of

a new interim or mailed government allocation of poses temporary, although no election date to vote for new government. reset this point, the taliban. do you control? almost all african territory low skirmishes with resistance in ne, in pansy province and continue. now according to human rights organizations, the situation on the ground remains tense. we discussed humanitarian issues with the president of the red cross international committee. he's been visiting medical facilities and his also met with the new african government the on the one side, you will see all that these are remnants of war. you see these camps, these vehicles, military vehicles. you see this traction where fighting has taken place, including in some of the cities like lasker, gar, 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 need. what i can see is that this is a country in bad need of your many terry and assistance of help to stop realize, infrastructure and basic services. it needs international support and when and how political lack there's states will recognize the new i've gone. government is of course, up to them. our interest is that international support comes to have gone east on to the people of i've gone east and in a way which is respectful of the geneva conventions of best you many tavian practices. and i'm hopeful that we manage to have acceptable conditions, given some of the assurances that myself and also the coordinator of the community

affairs of the us have received this with the we had a long conversation with one of the deputy of the 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 a good sense that we need further dialogues as we move forward. as i c r c, we have worked ways that tale bonds in petty tories controlled by them over the

last 4 d case. and so now in power, we will certainly continue to capitalize on these relations watch in the weekly are here on our teams nation. we'll be back with more stories in the last 7 days just after this break. ah, i so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, 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. this

thing in the koran attributed to the prophet mohammed, the dreams are threefold. sometimes they represent divine guidance, sometimes sorrow from the devil, and sometimes there about the conflict of daily living and past events. this applies also to women's rights in afghanistan, today. encouraged in the past to live out their dreams of being fully fledged human beings, afghan women and now being told that this amount to satanic possession and they turn to and on what can they count in this time of existential struggle? ah ah, welcome back to the weekly now, the british prime minister has admitted breaking a key pledge of his election manifesto by raising personal taxes to the highest level. in decades. we promise not to raise the rates of income tax,

national insurance, or v a t. this is a tax guarantee, it will protect the income, so hardworking families across the next parliament. no conservative government, no conservative government to speak every once to rave passes. not will be honest with the highest except yes, i accept that the break i manifest commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the when it's followed and 18 months spending bonanza. g 2 k with 19 that seemed the k national spiral. in the 1st year of the pandemic, the government borrowed $300000000000.00 pounds, a large part of which was to fund a worker's fur low. skein. lawrence johnson called cheese days tax hiker. difficult but responsible decision needed to fix a funding shortfall in health and social care. we're beginning the biggest catch up program in the history of the chest. 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, an all businesses benefit from a healthy workforce. the shuttle work in pensions. secretary, jonathan reynolds, 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 for the data and the pandemic have produced a statistical aberration. i reject the presentation of this issue as a 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. the pretends to the prime minister is only here because it's panoramic is not going to wash. he's putting

a sticking plaster over gaping wounds which his party inflicted. he made the comment of social care before the pandemic, and he said he would pay for it without raising taxes before the pandemic. now this is of course, the 2nd manifest pledge that the prime minister has broken within a day. the 2nd of those being an announcement to raise national insurance contributions, which they the government that is promised not to do in the lead up to that election at the end of $29.00 teams. so the government, the chancellor, 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 the agenda, not just in the u. k. the so called global gender of build back a better point. and slogan the bars johnson repeated again today what she's reporting there will be discuss the issue with the political commentator anthony webber who says that there's long been assure full. and then a chess and social care funding,

i think it is damaging because of the way it's been job to saw where he's playing a pandemic. the government has actually dealt with the district course. no way it's been spending money. we're not thinking about the consequences. it's now trying to deal with the consequences by bringing in this additional means of paying money as the leader of the opposition court. and now today, all the problems we had with the chest and with social care existed well before the camera won't watch in the weekly here, not international, just coming up to half past 9 in the morning and moscow. good to have you company, we're back again in about 15 minutes. oh, the welcome to mac hazard,

financial survival guide. looking forward to your best this is what happens to patients in britain. bill at the top of you watch kaiser report. september the 11th 2001 day that reshape to 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, did they have any idea what they've done? you can, we're going to kill everybody now. everybody alive apocalyptic tv images promote the us into declaring its war on terror.

they've begun to bomb up can villages and holmes and get people hurt and, and killed the main goal of destroying terrorism and then was it achieved? yes. and no. ok to essentially no longer exists good for us. but there are certainly other terrorist groups that are worse than the me the me i don't well controlled before they're just saying you big garage attributed you

profitable honda? the readings all the time. they're represent device guidance sometime from the job . well, some times there about the conflict of daily living impact to them. this applies practically to women and encouraged in the past. you leave out that dream that we flush the human beings that are being told by the taliban. this amount to nothing more, but they shape panic possession, who was the count on in the time of a truly existential struggle. well, to discuss it now joined from kabul by with the rush, executive director of athens women, field development center mr. osh, it's a great personal and professional privilege for me to talk to you. thank you very much for being available. thank you for having me in your show. i really appreciate it. i know that you had a chance to travel to the united states this summer and yet you chose to return to your country. you have.
