7:01 am
getting promoted because of this stuff. main terminal news review the week, some stories that we brought to you and the headlines, a series of link unconfirmed messages from the us military revealing the panic of the withdrawal from afghanistan, the troops, unable to rescue desperate american citizens, one form of special forces soldiers shared the encrypted messages give us is thoughts about what happened. our biggest problem are getting people out actually the u. s. government and 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, americans ask warranty. and the british prime minister admits to breaking a key election promised by high king taxes to fix a shall fall in health and social care funding. ah,
7:02 am
hi this the afternoon hope of september life from ortiz, world news, age q and more scope. my name is kevin 0 and welcome to a weekly roundup of the headlines of the last 7 days. and 1st the f b. i that as you have released a previously classified document about its probe into the 911 attacks victims, families have long been clamoring for those records to be made public in the hope of implicating saudi arabia. but he is after $911.00, they claim these latest papers back up their case. let's discuss this in more detail that with me now the student, dimitri poke. so what's come out of it, dmitri? well, basically this report that's been released by the us government basically detailed, it's a, it's an interview with saudi national, who was seeking american citizenship. and this details, his contacts and his knowledge of people who had something to do with the $911.00 tax who knew to me. but these of the hijackers who perpetrated the attack for why it's being released now. well, this comes out to weeks of pressure by the families that are trying to sue the
7:03 am
saudi arabian government. basically they said that biden, unless he released these documents, would be on welcome at any memorial pertaining to $911.00. we had great hope that president biden, who campaigned on bringing truth and trust back to the oval office would value the lives and sacrifices of american citizens over diplomatic relations with a country accused of mass murder. we cannot in good faith and with veneration to those last sick and injured welcome, the president to a hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment while not in direct response, but biden did now give an order to release documents pertaining to the investigation. the investigation of $911.00 attacks within the next 6 months, apparently more documents will follow this hello or is the 1st one and it came out, but it's heavily redacted and small these documents when they're released, they're usually are really heavily redacted. and because of that,
7:04 am
it's not very clear, it's kind of vague and many, even before it was released, have said that these documents probably won't provide that much information and insight into these investigation. i suspect that the families and not going to get the kind of satisfactory answers about the role of saudi arabia with regards to this attack. so redacted or not have the families reacted well, the families at this point seem happy, at least they said that this 1st document seems to be a big step towards break, reproving their case against the saudi government, saying that they funded the attacks. but yeah, they think that it's the 1st revelation in a sense now the saudi secrets are exposed and it is well past time for the kingdom till own up to its officials rolls in, murdering thousands on american soil. now that is part of their ongoing
7:05 am
case against the, sorry, government seeking billions, basically in damages against the people who died. and these are the family members of those who died during those are those attacks that claimed over 3000 lives. however, all throughout all this time, the saudi arabia government itself has denied any accusations of being involved to build a tax and has actually even urged to release more documents to basically prove that they weren't actually had any had anything to do with these attacks. this is tracy or isn't, that's what employee. the saudi embassy in los angeles was up bit about basically earlier this report is basically interview with saudi official who worked apparently worked out the conflict in los angeles. and in this interview, he details his contacts with 2 of the main suspects. basically of this investigation who had a contact with who provided logistics support. who will finance these 2 hijackers who, when they, when they came to the us, basically one of those being
7:06 am
a man named alba you me, who apparently was held in high regard according to this unnamed source. his name is redacted he'll buy me withheld in high regard. to the conflict, although he did not hold any official title apparently, but it suspected that he had some sort of standing with the saudi government. and then there is also the mention of the other person at the consulate to marry who was apparently accredited diplomat at the consulate who also was in the mom and lead some radical faction at a mosque. but basically, all this report details is kind of more information about the people we already knew about in previous reports that were leeks by not weeks reported by the f b i. so that's basically all this document is it's not that much in a lot of it. is kind of vague because again, it's heavily redacted. and that's the thing, isn't it? because it's so heavily redacted. does that mean people up by the fact that saudi arabia is off the hook, you know, as you said, the official line from saudi arabia all the way on the, as they were not involved in this. so is there anything in any way to incriminate
7:07 am
saudi arabia for what we're saying for the bits that are available to the public or not right now, like this document does not provide any direct link. there's no proof, no concrete evidence that the saudi government had anything to do with these terrorists, or with these people who had context with them. so there's no clear link right now . and he's that it now is any more likely to be released, or is it likely to be kind of quietly put to one side? well, remains to be seen. i mean, it's been 20 years since the initial attack and or the years we've seen many reports come out and it seems that every report of solar docs it and so vague that there's still not really a clear picture of how this kind of happened like well who's responsible, who funded how they funded it? it's still unclear maybe was the brightness said within the next 6 months, more documents will be released. maybe something will come, bombshell revelations will be there. but for now, this does not prove to be one of those bombshells we to post. thank you very much
7:08 am
for explaining that to as complicated one new drone photos just suggest the u. s. drones strike and cobble intended for terrorists, killed and aid worker loading his car. with water 10 civilian started the attack including 7 children at the end of last month, allegedly us forces said the mans vehicle much description of one used by the terrorist group isis k. he'll so says there was a large secondary block to off the throne strike, suggesting in theory was transporting explosive. turns out that claim was false according to an investigation. anyway, by the new york times, the aid worker, it even been apparently employed by an american n g o. there been many similar fights and victims of the 20 a us campaign enough gun this time. as we discovered in our, in that investigation series. and his voices the will use all tools our disposal killed,
7:09 am
our children to united states was bringing people to watch a site. it was a pointless exercise. in the latest report we told to brandon bryan, who flew predator drones for the us military to help pay for his education. we need 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 in this, and 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, my education and the military showed up one day and i will pay for your education if you, sir, for a minimum of 4 years. and how can anyone turn that down?
7:10 am
oh, i started and comes down and turns around. now goes in the military crater, actually since your job is to kill people and break things. so you got all these young enlisted dude 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 i the 1st 3 months i was inactive missions,
7:11 am
i watched enemy forces die. friendly forces, di and the forces die and an innocent, innocent people die. and so i got to see like, the impact on everybody ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, degradation. we did proper term, every shot that we took, like they're cheering, they're 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. i are hunting a man named and want all lucky. he was
7:12 am
a mom from pm and 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 to all kind of most active operational ophelia. and his 16 year old son was killed 2 weeks later. and it's just right when i asked some of the people that i knew why they struck me romanella lucky 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. we think the other thing is with the terrorist, you have to take out their families, maybe to them, it seems practical,
7:13 am
but to me it seems evil. oh i, there was an incident involved killing of civilians. they might have been to new zealand white civilians in afghanistan, so 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 planner and 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 phone, the ah, i didn't know who i was anymore. i didn't know what i believed anymore. i didn't
7:14 am
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 to, you want to go for a walk, but 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 one. ready i . ready ready can tell you will have more 1st time stories, some people who lives forever changed by america. longest war and continuing special, seriously unheard voices which can also catch on line as well. at r t dot com more americans were allowed to leave half gonna stand on thursday. then the taliban giving them the green light to flee on charter flights. almost 10 days after the official end of the u. s. withdrawal. many more the remainder, the by the ministration grapples with a fall out and
7:15 am
a series of leak messages now shedding light on its failed efforts to get its citizens out. an american citizens. yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. those texts which haven't been verified, were disclosed by a guy called michael jo and he's a war correspondent and former us special forces soldier was among the civilians working with the military and private networks to rescue stranded americans. he gave us details of his conversation with a high ranking us army officer that colonel was not physically present, but he was an contacts, 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. you can see from that tax, there was more tax those while he was really demonstrating a lot of frustration at one point he said, can you ram the gate and other intended with the car and get in? i mean, he wanted to rescue those people and you know, he,
7:16 am
i hope that his tags don't 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. be in italy, man i'm actually it's in some cases of actually helped us. you can 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,
7:17 am
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 tv. they definitely were at the gate period. well michael young also released conversations with conversations with contractors who were in cobble one of them, claiming that $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to get into that airport, even if they had you passports with them. the source claimed that somewhat beaten and assaulted in their efforts to get in and added, but he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as they were facing a terrifying weight at the time. however, the fee, but from that is, it seems his command is apparently refused to step in. you may not be surprised to hear. well, another contract wrote that us generals, new the citizens were stuck outside the pope,
7:18 am
but still wouldn't grant access even propose paying other governments, such as the u. k. to help airlift americans and confirm to the general mark. millie, chairman of the joint chiefs of stuff, 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. while the picture coming from those conversations is installed, contrast of the narrative telling from the bite administration and bay continually stress, the situation was under control, and 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 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 lists in history,
7:19 am
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. after evacuation monthly on wrote a scathing letter to the army side command highlighting some of the missteps as he saw them. specifically the us nationals were abandoned that the gates swell. 3 empty jets paid for by volunteers. he says we're waiting for them. we ask the pentagon for clarity. they've declined to come in sofa. yon believes 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 lead people behind the gate, but it's, it's a thin 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
7:20 am
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. you watching out scenes national more of a news headlines of the week coming up out of the short break. this to candidate for the french presidency, calling for his version of brakes. it telling his countrymen to free themselves from the clutches of the european union. play with the driven by
7:22 am
choose me. ah, again, bruce pro ministers admitted breaking the key pledges 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 seek every once to raise taxes. and i will be honest with heights i stepped. yes, i accepted the brakes. i manifesto commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the college and 18 months spending bonanza because
7:23 am
a covered 19 the see the u. k. national debt spiral in the 1st year of the palm that the government borrowed $300000000000.00 pounds a large part of which was to fund the work his fellow scheme of johnson called tuesday, a tax hike, a difficult but responsible decision and needed to fix of funding shortfall in health and social care we're beginning the biggest catch up program in the history of the an hfs. 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. the shuttle work in pensions. secretary, jonathan reynolds, reacting to the prime minister, essentially. 3 saying the way the government try to frame this issue of, for example, people living longer and having healthier lives and insensitive way of dealing with
7:24 am
what are very real issues for the elderly when it comes to that pensions to governments, cases of the photo data and the panoramic hip produced a statistical aberration i rejected 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, he's only here because it's time to make is not going to wash. he's putting a sticking plaster over the 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. so 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
7:25 am
a balancing act to do to try 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 build back a better point. and slogan, the bars johnson repeated again today, how much work he has done we took to, but it was political commentator anthony whether he says there is a long bit short fallen and a chest 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, like a mummy term house as the leader, the opposition court. today,
7:26 am
all the problems we had with the us and with social care interested well before the camera won't give up in the wake house to break it could for exit be next because a candidate for the french presidency, big name to is no calling on his country. to seize but control and free itself from the clutches of the e. u. as they put it to you shall do better. explain more from paris. he was a man that was leaving the charge when it came to those brig negotiation with the man that was in charge of insuring a victory. you fooled you. and during many years old briggs that he was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions you even accuse the u. k. you trying to cherry pick water, won't it for you? now, mission volunteer is telling a very different story. he's standing for the presidency hearing from elections, take place in about
7:27 am
a level. and the thing he is saying is shocking. many events in the phone yesterday he was leaving out more influencing european counterpart. it was many is doing. and when it came to migration of what he has to say, we cannot do all this without having regained our legal sovereignty. being permanently frightened by a ruling or a condemnation at the level of the european court of justice. so the european convention human rights by an interpretation, by our own judicial institutions, the reaction has been. in fact, some people were so shocked about these comments. they thought the thing was fake news. how could someone like me should vanya see such things. there is a junior european affairs mister clement, paul said that he couldn't believe the somebody who was truly committed to you will be able to say such things. others suggested the mission volunteer had essentially included toya korea. michelle bonnie: a is giving
7:28 am
a master class on how to destroy your career and legacy in the desperate hope of looking electable to just straight up dislikes you regardless. well, bonia has defended his comment, saying the idea of a constitutional field would only apply when it comes to european pools on issues such as migration. but his attempts to defend his comments seem to have made things worse. you can only imagine how griggs that have been reacting to this. here are just some of the comments. this is breathtaking. the hypocrisy the same. michel bonnie who during the breaks it negotiations tried to belittle the u. k for demanding control over our courts and our borders. now he wants the same for friends for exit. this is ironic in the extreme bonnie: a preaching the merits of national sovereignty to cover the over powerful e. you filed the comp time for the book at the moment.
7:29 am
brussels is trying to research the premises when it comes to issues of the country, such as hungary and poland. seeing some questions being raised by germany, constitutional court, and his coma to phone meetings, to maybe be able to, to have more influence when it comes to the european union to counterbalance influence of germany. just will suggest that the relationship within the block goes cosy. i think would have you believe which many one day it does mean that there are trouble as well. that's just not shown the way the weak pile of the needs we brought you here in moscow. my name is kevin from me in the team. thank you for watching our programs. i can tell you a focus on i've gone ahead next this weekend to international me
