when so many find themselves well, the party we choose to look for common ground in the this weekend on the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attack, the f. b, i released the declassified document the who carried out the atrocity with the document. the essentially repeating no facts already adding no information on possible saudi involvement or suggest the u. s. mistake. can they targeted an afghan aid worker and a growth strike? killing 10 members of one family. we hear from a former american drone operated, who tells us of his own experiences of killing innocent people. every shot that we

turn like they're cheering, they're congratulating each other. they're high fiving each other. people are getting promoted because of this stuff. the well, in the news review, the week is a little button. some of the top stories, the last 7 days, a series of leaks unconfirmed messages from the pence. again, revealed a panic of withdraw. my son with troops unable to rescue desperate american citizens, one form a special forces soldier who shared the encrypted messages where this gives this his thought about what happened. our biggest problem getting people out, actually the us government is actually not the todd in. we've seen the military people behind the gate. the us military was not letting even civilian americans with bad boards, american passports. the british prime minister, admit the breaking a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix a short fall in health and social care funding. ah

. hello, sunday evening. 12th of september live from she's world views h q e or moscow. my name's kevin. oh, and welcome to a weekly roundup of the top stories of the last 7 days on what's happening right now. and that's where we're starting to. first off, the, so the f, b, i the as released a previously classified document on it's proven to the 911 attacks victims families of long demanded the records be made public who has many calling for more focus on saudi arabia as possible potential involvement. however, it's not clear whether the late has document really says anything new. i talked about it without t. dimitri poke. a key question is have these grieving relatives that have been waiting so long for answers to put it all together? got the answers they needed from this latest report. well, the short answer is no. basically this report, what it is basically is it's an interview with a saudi national,

who was applying for citizenship, who apparently had contacts with, through saudi nationals who apparently assisted to hijackers. while they were in the us, one of the 1st came to hijackers of the 911 plane basically. but a lot of this stuff, a lot of the information regarding this latest report is actually not that new. there was already a report declassified report back in 2016. and basically this, the stuff told out in this interview that we got in this report is all the same stuff. it's the same people with smashing the same people. for example, one of them as being a person named alba, jo, me who was apparently held in high regard within the consulate of saudi arabia in los angeles. now apparently this person was not working there, but he was highly regarded. and the person in this interview says that he was seen as one of the higher ups even amongst south, even though he does not work there. but the main thing that this report was

supposed to do is prove a connection to the saudi arabian government. and it does not do that. there is no concrete evidence that links these people who were the saudi national. there is no link to the actual saudi officials, government officials. so that link does not exist. also there were people name such as baton again, another person who had a ties to the hijackers who lives across their apartment in los angeles. again, he held extremist views, but no official ties to saudi government. and then there was also also mary, who was apparently a credit, a diplomat. so she's like one of mark accredited people. but again, he was not proven to be following any direct orders from saudi ravia from their official government. so this report basically just shows more details like 5 minute data, like phone calls, where the met accidentally from restaurant the ones who, but it does not give any specific evidence, nothing new, no connections to the saudi government. ok,

going along with what the saudi government said, all along the way that they will not respond to revolt in this, in any shape or form. right. when all that said, what are the victims? relatives had to say this report was heavier attack. did you saying this hardly anything new at it? are they happy or not about this them? well it's, it's odd actually because one of the 1st report, one, the 1st dropped, the initial reaction from the families. was that a, this is a big step in their fight against their lawsuit, against saudi arabia, because again, they're suing saudi arabia for billions of dollars in damages for their suppose it involvement in the $911.00 attacks. the one the 1st report dropped. they said, yes, this will definitely help. but upon closer inspection, really there's not that much of air even though the families have been fighting for this. these documents to be released for quite a while, even threatened bite, and that would be not welcome at any memorials pertaining to 911, unless you released the documents. we had great hope that president biden to campaigned on bringing truth and trust,

back to the oval office would value the lives and sacrifices of america 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. those calls were heard and biden did respond. no, not directly, but he did issue in order to release more documents pertaining to the investigation of the 911 attacks. and this is just the 1st one and the rule apparently be more within the next 6 months. but these, as you saw what this one, the report is heavily redacted and doesn't truly provide any bombshell, revelations, or any of the anything of that sort. and even the former c i e director, has said that there's people shouldn't really expect too much for all these upcoming documents and reveals, 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? well, yeah, and there doesn't seem to be any of that information. and

a lot of people have no, it's point to note that this is saudi arabia. us has very high dealings with a lot of money involved. and really there's, it's been 20 years since the attack. there's been many investigations. and still there's not been anything to link even though the, all the terrorists, like 900. there was 1900 and the terrorists during that attack. and most of them were saudi nationals. so it's obvious why some people would assume there is a connection, but it doesn't seem like any of these documents will actually prove that connection for whatever reason either there really isn't on or that just wouldn't be really beneficial for the us saudi relation. so we'll see maybe the next 6 months we'll see something substantial, some actual revelations. what for now, we're still getting the same old new footage suggests to us drone striking, cobble targeting terrorists killed an aide worker loading his car with water instead. 10 civilians died in last month's attack including 7 children. us forces

said the mines vehicle, much description of one used by the terrorist group, isis k. they also said there was a large, secondary, blah, stocks in the drone strike suggesting them that he was transporting explosives. but it turns out that katie was false, according to an investigation by the new york times, the aid worker even been employed by an american n g o. there are many similar fates and victims of the 20 year us campaign. and i've got this done as we discover in our in depth investigation series that continues for you called and heard voices. the will use all tools at our disposal. killed our children to united states was bringing people to watch a site. it was a pointless exercise. so in our latest report, we talked to brandon bryant, who flew drones for the us military to help pay for his education. at the time you spoke to us about his own personal experiences, which include his belief that he killed innocent people. after my 1st shot,

i took it to 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 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. and how can anyone turn that down? oh, i know sergeant 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 deeds and girls. galvan guys who are out of high school have

no experience in anything who are now basically, video game snipers, for months of training, made put in the position to make these decisions. the for the 1st 3 months. i was in active missions. i watched enemy forces di, or friendly forces di and the forces die and then innocence, innocent people die. and so i got to see like, the impact on everybody. ah

ah ah many degredation with the proper term, every shot that we took there cheering their congratulating each other, their high fiving each other people getting promoted because of this stuff. it's like a withering away of who you are. i are hunting a man named and was lucky. he was a mom from pm and i was told one day going in that president obama himself would stop 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 affiliate. and then his 16 year old son was killed 2 weeks later. and it drones, right? when i asked some of the people that i knew why they struck romanella lucky because they didn't want him to become a figure. the 1st thing that trump did in office was kill and or lock. he's 8 year old daughter with a 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, why 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 defaulting 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, where it's pointing a little me and saying, oh, all those things that were other people's fault and sexually your phone, 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. but 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 one. i

. ready can tell you one more time story, some people, his lives service i would change forever by america's longest for and continue special series have put together for you called on heard voices. if you want to see from the start again, you can check it out. it all t dot com as well, it's streaming there now. more americans were allowed to leave afghanistan on, choose the telephone and giving them the green light, then to flee on charter flights. almost 10 days after the official end of the u. s . withdraw many more. the remain as the by the ministration grapples with the fall out. and a series of leaked messages is now shedding light on the 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 yet, were disclosed by a guy called michael young. and he's a war correspondent and a former us special forces soldier and was among the civilians working with the

military and private networks to try to rescue the americans. at the time, he gave us details of his conversation. he says, with a high ranking us 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. 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 10, you ran the gate. in other words, had it with the car and get in. i mean, he wanted to rescue those people and you know, he, 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 is 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, 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 contractors who says

a working cobble one of them, claiming that $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to get into that airport at the time, even if they had the passports with them. further, the source claim that some were even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get it . and adding to that he was asking senior officers for verification on how they could be helped because they were terrified of being outside. but despite all that, he says his command is apparently refused to step in, leaving these people outside, stuck to meet their fate. and you saw it was like that airport, a scary place to be another contract to road. the u. s. generals knew the citizens were stuck outside the airport, but still wouldn't grant access even proposed paying other governments, such as the u. k. to help airlift, americans and confirm to the general mark millie, chair of the us joint chiefs of staff that 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. the picture coming from those conversations is in stark contrast. and the narrative from the by ministration. whitehouse kept insisting didn't it, that the situation was under control. and no american citizens would be left behind . what we are 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, 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 the evacuation,

michael yon wrote a scathing letter to the high command, highlighting what he said were the missteps. specifically, the us nationals were abandoned at the gates while 3 empty jets paid for by volunteers. he says we're waiting for them. we asked the pencil for clarification on it so far they've declined to comment. young believes the lack of transparencies made matters even 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. we're more efficient and we don't have the bureaucracy and we're just smarter than they are. this is a we play on our international good evening from moscow. my name is kevin, are still ahead. this is a big story in the week, but didn't see it. let me tell you, a candidate for the french presidency is calling for his version of breck telling citizens that 3 themselves. he said from the club, she's the you and it's no less than michelle. bonnie is saying that 2 big name will tell you more and recap more than use the week to after the short break. ah. join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business,

i'll see you then me the the the, the, the, the, the the, the, the,

the ah. again where assumes from the british progress and the admitting breaking a key pledge is 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. and i will be honest with the highest i accept. yes, i accept the, the brakes. i manifesto commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within mit one. indeed, it follows an 18 months spending bonanza because a cobit 19 that's a national debt spiral. in the 1st year of the pandemic, the government borrowed 300000000000 pounds,

a large part of which was to fund the work his fellow scheme. boris johnson called tuesday's tax like difficult but responsible decision. he said needed to fix of funding shortfall in health and social care. we're beginning the biggest catch up program in the history of the chess. 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 tries 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, to governments, cases of the photo data and the pandemic have 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 is only here because it's time to make 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 can better point and slogan the bars. johnson repeated again today, how much, what she's political commentator anthony webber told us the tax height reflects her responsible government behavior in the pandemic. 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 that 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 shipping money. as the leader of the opposition court is now today, all the problems we had with the us and with social care interested well before

the american malone. this made big headlines in the week after breaks it could then be a fritz it while a candidate for the french presidency, no less is no calling on his country to seize control and to free itself from the grip of brussels as he put it. and he's a big name and politics to say another shot to do bend ski reports from paris. he was the man that was leading the charge. when it came to those rig negotiations, he was a man that was in charge of insuring a victory. you fool that you and during many years old briggs that she was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions. even if she was the u. k. you trying to cherry pick more thing from the you now mission volunteer is telling a very different story. something for the presidency, hearing from elections, take place in about a level. and the thing he is saying is shocking. many events in the shots from

yesterday about needing to have more influence in european counterpart. it was too many is doing and when it came to migration of the rules rules, what do you have 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 on human rights, or by an interpretation by our own judicial institutions, the reaction, i mean, i will, in fact some people were so shocked about these comments. they thought that they would fake news. how could someone like me should vanya see such things, the policy is junior european affairs, mr. clement. paul said that he couldn't believe that somebody who was truly committed to you will be able to say such things. others suggested to me should volunteer, had essentially imploded entire career. michelle, bonnie: a is giving a master class on how to destroy your career and legacy and the desperate hope of

looking electable to elect for that 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 you. repeat, calls on issues such as like gratian, but his attempts to defend his comments seem to me things worse. you can only how break that she is. has been reacting to this here just some of the comments. this is breathtaking. the hypocrisy the same. michel bonnie who doing the brakes it negotiations taught 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. u and european court of human rights. who born is true feelings. it seems about you in about european institutions couldn't have come the worst time to the book.

at the moment, russell is trying to reschedule supremacy when it comes to issues of the cold countries such as hungary and poland, even seeing some questions being raised by germany called to school court. and he's coming to from meetings to maybe to, to have more influence. when it comes to the european union to counterbalance influence of germany, doesn't suggest that the relationships within the block goes cosy. i think, would have you believe which many will wonder if this does mean that there are troubled waters hash. if they will continue to follow it, but that's what we're talking about so far this weekend. this is snapshot of the way the news kind of the last 7 days to use bias. moscow. my name is kevin, thanks for watching and have a great rest of the weekend. was left of me. the

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for an taishan, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with the my name is jason. whenever you can plug it in or you think you remember me, he'd been searching the river. it was pretty obvious, he had muddy boots on his arrogant, he was sitting there like this with his muddy boots and flicking mud all over the floor. and.
