will not go on forever. the challenges to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together in the this weekend home. the 20th anniversary of the $911.00 terror attack, the release of the declassified document and carried out the atrocity with the file . so essentially repeating known facts, adding no insulation on possible saudi involvement. reports suggest to us mistakenly targeted an afghan aid worker in a drone striking, killing 10 members of one family. this we have from a former american drug operator who tells us of his own experiences is killing innocent people. 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. meanwhile,
2:01 pm
in our youth review of the week, a series of leaks unconfirmed messages from the pentagon revealed a panic of the withdrawal from afghanistan with troops unable to rescue desperate american city. one form of special forces, soldiers who shared the encrypted messages gives us his thoughts about what happened. our biggest problem on getting people out actually is the u. s. government, it's actually not the taliban. we've seen the military lead people behind the gate . the us military was not letting even civilian americans with bad for the american passports. and the british prime minister admits to breaking a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix a shortfall in health and social ah, hello good tabby with us since 9 pm sunday evening on the most go to the weekly. so
2:02 pm
we're going to take you through some of the biggest stories we've covered here over the past week, and also the weekends developments to 1st than the f. b, i has released previously classified document on it's proven to the 911 attacks victims, families have long demanded that these records be made public with many calling for more focus on saudi arabia as possible. involvement. however, still not clear whether the latest document really says anything new, as kevin, we discussed earlier with ortiz, to me, to poke this report. what it is basically is it's an interview with a saudi national, who is applying for citizenship, who apparently had contexts with 2 saudi nationals who apparently assistant to hijackers while they were in the u. s. 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
2:03 pm
stuff. it's the same people, especially the same people. for example, one of them is 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 the staff, even though he did 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's no link to the actual saudi officials, government officials, so that link does not exist. also, there were people named, 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,
2:04 pm
who was apparently accredited diplomat. so she's like one of mark accredited people, but again, he was not proven to be following any direct orders from saudi arabia from their official government. so this report basically just shows more details like 5 minute detail, like phone calls, where the met accidentally some restaurant, the ones who, but it does not give any specific evidence new, no connections to the saudi government. ok, going along with what the saudi government said, all along the way that they would not respond to revolt in this, in any shape or form. right. that when all that said, what are the victims? relatives had to say this report was heavily redacted. you saying this hardly anything new at it? are they happy or not about this them? 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
2:05 pm
involvement in the $911.00 attacks. the one the 1st report dropped. the said yes, this will definitely help. but upon closer inspection, really there's not that much there. 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, who 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 she did issue in order to release more documents pertaining to the investigation of the 911 attacks. and this is just the 1st one and there will apparently be more within the next 6 months. but these, as you saw what this one,
2:06 pm
the report is heavily redacted and doesn't really 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 from 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 doesn't seem to be any of that information and a lot of people have no, it's fortunate to know that this is saudi arabia. us has very high dealings with there's 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 for link even though the all the terrorist like 900, there was 1900 and the terrorist during that attack. and most of them were saudi nationals. so it's obvious why some people would assume there isn't 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 it just wouldn't be really
2:07 pm
beneficial to 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 she'll rain, passenger aircraft is crash, landed in the remote, or could screech and in central russia not far from lake by cow. local officials say that all 16 people on board to buy, but one person is in a critical condition, reports also coming in though unconfirmed. that one person has died. the l for 10 propeller aircraft operated by a regional airline, made a hard landing about 4 kilometers short of the runway. the plane was making its 2nd approach in thick fog when it disappeared from radar and then called fire on landing and emergency services were alerted by one of the passengers on board. the poor weather, an engine failure being investigated as possible causes you footage suggests us drones striking, cobble targeting terrorists, killed an aide,
2:08 pm
work loading his car with water. 10 civilians died in last month attack including 7 children. us forces said the mans vehicle match the description of what used by the ice terrorist group ice his case. he also said there was a large secondary blast after the drug strike suggesting that he was transporting explosives. but it turns out that claim was false, and certainly according to an investigation by the new york times, the worker had even been employed by an american n g o. there are many similar fate, son, victims of the 20 year us campaign in afghanistan. as we discover and are in depth investigation series on heard voices, the will use all tools at our disposal. killed our children for united states will bring people to your site. it was a pointless exercise. when our latest report, we talked to brandon bryan to through drones for the us military to help pay for his education. he spoke to us about his own personal experiences which include his
2:09 pm
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 was, i would just be another psychopath. ah no other way, i'm going to get 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
2:10 pm
young enlisted dude and girls. galvan guys who are out of high school grab 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 1st 3 months. i was in active missions. i watched enemy forces die or friendly forces die and the forces die and then innocence, innocent people die. and so i got to see like the impact on everybody. ah,
2:11 pm
ah, ah, ah, mental degredation, 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 getting promoted because of this stuff. it's like a withering away of who you are. i. you were hunting a man named and was lucky. he was a mom from pm and ah, 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
2:12 pm
death of a lock is a major blow to all kind of most active operational affiliate. and then his 16 year old son with job 2 weeks later and it runs right when i asked some of the people that i knew why they struck the dual romanella. lucky because i didn't want them to become a figurehead. the 1st thing that trump did in office was kill and we're like, he's 8 year old daughter. we stick 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. 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
2:13 pm
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's fault and sexually you're from the. ready 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 killed myself with a 9 millimeters 6 p 2266, our german law enforcement weapon. and the only reason i don't, 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'm 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. 0
2:14 pm
i. ready have no stories from people whose lives forever changed by america longest more and continuing special series, unheard voices which could also find him full on r t dot com. more americans were allowed to leave kind of stuff on thursday. that's how about giving them the green light to flee on charter flights. almost 10 days after the official end of the us withdrawal, many mold remain as the biden administration grapples with the fall out. and the series of leak messages is now shedding light on the failed efforts to get the citizens out. and the american citizens. yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. those texts we haven't been verified with disclosed by michael young. he's a war correspondent and for us special forces soldier, i 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,
2:15 pm
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. as 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 and other words, hit it with the car and get in. i mean, he wanted to rescue those people and you know, and 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 getting people out actually is the u. s. government. it's actually not the todd man. i know that sounds crazy,
2:16 pm
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 gate. then of course, the next day we have a pentagon in the white house that 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. michael young also released conversations with contractors who were in cobbled one of them, claiming that $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to enter the apples even if they had the us passports with them. the source claimed that some are even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get in
2:17 pm
and added that he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as they faced a terrifying weight. however, his commanders apparently refused to step in, leaving those still stuck outside to meet their fate in those desperate conditions . another contract wrote the us generals knew that there isn't, we're stuck outside the pool, but still wouldn't grant access even propose paying the government such as the u. k . to help and left americans out and confirm 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, as in stark contrast to the narrative from the biden administration, the white house kept insisting that the situation was under control, and that no american citizens will be left behind. what we're doing every single
2:18 pm
minute of every single hour of every single day. it's 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 to 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. and this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. off to the evacuation, michael yon wrote a scathing letter to the armies high command, highlighting some of what he saw as missteps. specifically, the us nationals were abandoned that the gate small 3 empty jet paid for by volunteers. we're waiting for them. and we've asked the pentagon photographer cation some of these claims, but so far they've declined to comment. your beliefs though, that the lack of transparency has made matters worse. that's what americans are saying. we leave no one behind,
2:19 pm
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 is 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. still to come on. this edition of the way clear candidate for the french presidency as colon for his version of breck said, telling citizens to free themselves from the clutches of the a you, that story and more after a quick break. ah,
2:20 pm
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 really 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 complex 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
2:21 pm
beings, afghan women and now being told that this amount to satanic possession when they turn to. and on what can they count in this time of existential struggle? ah ah, welcome back to the weekly the british prime minister submitted 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 the rave passes. and i will be honest with the heights i stepped. yes, i accepted the brakes manifesto commitment,
2:22 pm
which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the as it goes, follows an 18 month spending. but because of cobit 19 that seen the national debt spiral in the 1st year of the pandemic, the government borrowed $300000000000.00 pounds, a large part of which was to fund the workers furlough scheme for his johnson called tuesday's tax hike. a difficult but responsible decision needed to fix a funding show for 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,
2:23 pm
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 reject the presentation of this issue as the 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 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 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
2:24 pm
election at the end of $29.00 teams. so the government, the chancellor, the treasury all with 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 of build back and better point. and slogan the bars johnson repeated again. i know clinical commentator anthony web told us the tax hike reflects they're responsible government behavior during the pandemic. i think it is damaging because of the way it's been job to saw where he's playing 3 times. i make the governments is actually dealt with the not a desperate 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, like a mummy house as a leader position,
2:25 pm
according to now today, all the problems we had with the us with social care interested, well be poor. the panoramic camera won't have to breakfast, could fax it the next because a candidate for the french presidency is now calling on his country to seize back control and free itself from the grip of brussels. and he's a big name and politics to charlotte. do ben sky explains next from paris? he was the man that was leaving 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 had to break that. she was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions. and even if she was the u. k, you trying to cherry pick was wanting from the youth. now mission volunteer is telling a very different story. he's standing for the presidency hearing from elections, take place in about
2:26 pm
a level. and the thing he is saying is shocking. many events in the south phone yesterday about leaving out more fluid in europe. it was too many is doing. and when it came to migration of the rule, 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 or 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. there is a junior european affairs. mr. clement ball said that he couldn't believe that somebody who was truly committed to you will be able to say such things. others suggested the mission volunteer had essentially imploded entire career. michelle
2:27 pm
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 european court on issues such as like gratian, but his attempts to defend his comments seem to make 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 try 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 through feelings. it seems
2:28 pm
about you in about european institutions couldn't have come at the worst time to the block. at the moment, russell is trying to reschedule supremacy when it comes to issues with the poor. poor countries such as hungary and poland, even seeing some questions being raised by germany called to school court and his comment to phone meetings to maybe to, to have more influence when it comes to the european union to counterbalance influence of germany just suggests 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 trouble voices hash and i said for the weekly, for now, thanks very much for choosing out. see this weekend? well, great programs all the way for you, i'll be back here with you next update and how for now? oh, i do
2:29 pm
me the me a loan of welcome to deport. there's a thing in the garage attributed you profitable honda? the readings be fall times they're represented, divides guidance, some time from the time they are about the conflict of daily living impact to them . this applies practically to women and encouraged in the past. to leave out that dream, we flush the human beings being told by the college on this and i'll do nothing
2:30 pm
more. but the panic possession who walk until they count on in this time of a truly existential struggle. well, to discuss now joined the slow kabul by what was the rash executive director of athens, women, fields, development, venture mister 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. your show, i really appreciate it. thanks. 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 got to sign at a time with thousands and thousands of your countrymen and women are desperately trying to police. why did you make that decision? and was a very personal decision by myself. i am an african american, wendy, and thank you so much. when i had complete my country because of the at that time because of the russian invasion and the arrival of the communist and a son,
