might be coming to an end. we are in the conference situation with the largest and most powerful employer. in such a situation. it's remarkable. the this weekend or the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attack, the f. b, i released the declassified document into who carried out the atrocity, the files, so essentially repeating known fact setting no information on possible saudi involvement. support suggest the us mistakenly targeted an african aid worker and a drug strike killing 10 members of one family that we have from a former american drone operator who tells us of its own experiences. it's killing innocent people. every shot that we turn like they're cheering their congratulating each other. they're high fiving each other. people getting promoted because of this stuff. plus, in our news review of the week,

a series of leaked unconfirmed messages from the pentagon revealed the panic. the withdrawal from afghanistan with troops unable to rescue desperate american citizens, one form of special forces soldier who shed the encrypted messages gives us his thoughts about what happened. our biggest problem getting people out actually is 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 passports. the british prime minister admits to breaking a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix a shortfall in health and social care funding. ah . hello, good to be with us this weekend. i'm calling brand mosque. i just had a lemon pm on sunday. is the news for you from this weekend? the f. b, i has released a previously classified document on

a probe into the 911 attacks victims families of long demanded the record to be made public with many calling for more focus on saudi arabia as possible. involvement. however, it's not clear whether the latest document really says anything new. as kevin, we discussed with our correspondent dmitri polk. this report, what it is basically is. it's an interview with a saudi national, who was applying for citizenship, who apparently had contexts with 2 saudi nationals who apparently assisted to hijackers while they were in the us. one of the 1st came to hijackers of the $911.00 lane, 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, 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 she did not work there. but the main thing that this report was supposed to do is prove a connection to the saudi arabia government. and it does not do that. there is no concrete evidence that links these people who were sorry, national. there is no link to the actual saudi officials, government officials, so that link does not exist. also there were people names 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 accredited diplomat. so he'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 from restaurant the one to 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 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? it 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 supposed 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 there will apparently be more within the next 6 months. but these, as you saw this one, the report is heavily redacted and doesn't really provide any bombshell, revelations, or any of that anything of that sort. and even the former ca rector 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 point to know that this is saudi arabia. us has very high dealings with him. 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 to link even though the, all the terrorists like 900, there was 1900 and the terrorist and during the attack. and most of them were saudi nationals. so it's obvious why it's 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 just wouldn't be really beneficial to the us saudi relations. 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 short range passenger aircraft. his crash landed in the remote. how could screeching in central russia not far from lake by cow? it's our, it is now say there are multiple victims including the potters that we got this recording from. one of the survivors, due to julia, just allow students to be home on the board was given the l 410 propeller aircraft operated by a region. a landline made a hard landing about 4 kilometers short of the runway. the plane was making its 2nd approach in thick folk when it disappeared from radar. it then cold fire on landing and emergency services were alerted by one of the passengers on board for weather conditions and engine failure being investigated as possible causes the u footage suggests us drone striking cobble targeting terrorists actually killed an

aide, work a loading his car with water, 10 civilians died and last month's attack including 7 children, us forces said demands vehicle match the description of one used by the terrorist group, isis k. they 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 according to an investigation by the new york times. the worker even been employed by an american n g o. many similar fate. some victims of the 20 us campaign in afghanistan, as we discovered in depth investigation series on heard voices. the will use all tools at our disposal. killed our children to united states was bringing people to watch the site. it was a pointless exercise. in our latest report, we talked to brandon bryant, who flew drones for the us military to help pay for his education. he spoke to us about his own personal experiences, which include his belief that he killed innocent people. after my 1st shot i took

with 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 i was gonna get my education. and the military showed up when 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've got all these young enlisted deeds and girls, 1000 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 inactive missions, i watched enemy forces die. friendly forces die and the forces die and an innocence innocent people die. and so i got to see like the impact on everybody. ah,

[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, mental 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. me here hunting, a man named and want all lucky. he was 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 striking when i asked some of the people that i knew why they struck me, do a romanella lucky. and they said that because they didn't want them to become a figure. the 1st thing that trump did in office was kill and our, our lockheed 8 year old daughter was 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 weiss 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 defaulted,

the 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 actually 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. 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 what i . ready have more time stories for people whose lives forever changed by america. longest war and are continuing special series, unheard voices which you can also see and full on. don't come 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 us, we draw many mold and remain as divide the ministration grapples with the fall out . and a series of leave messages is now shedding light on the failed efforts to get the american citizens out. and the american citizens, yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. of those texts which haven't been verified, were disclosed by michael young. he's a war correspondent for the us special forces soldiers. and it 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 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. it's actually not the admin. 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 even make up the stuff. this is like something for a weird movie. so taliban is saying that us forces at the 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 haven't 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. he also released conversations with contractors who were in cobble one of them, claiming that $45.00 americans, including women and children,

were on able to enter the app or even if they had the us passport with them. as michael said, the social so claim that some or even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get in. and i did the see was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be held. as they faced a terrifying weight. however, its command is apparently refused to step in, leaving those still stuck outside to meet their fate. during those chaotic days, another contract rope the us generals, knew that that citizens were stuck outside the apple, but still wouldn't grant access. even proposed paying the government such as the u . k. to help left americans out and confirmed the general mar, many chair of the u. s. 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. picture coming from those conversations is in stark contrast to the narrative from the biden administration. the white house kept insisting that the situation was under control,

and no american citizens will be left behind. what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day. it's 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 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 on awfully 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 at the gate while 3 empty jets paid for by volunteers waiting for them. we've asked the pendant for verifications on this, but so far they've declined to comment. y'all know believes that the lack of

transparency is made matters worse. that's what americans are saying. 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 of 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. 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. i still come on, the weekly a candidate with the french presidency is calling for his version of bracket, telling citizens to free themselves from the clutches of the

a you is one of our store is still a head off of this ah, ah ah ah ah ah, ah, the ah,

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 on often very dramatic development only personally and get into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the next up on the weekly, the british prime ministers 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, the no conservative government, no conservative government to speak every once to raise taxes. and i will be honest

with the house i kept. yes, i accepted the break. i manifesto, commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within one of its follows and 18 months spending. but honestly, because of cobit 19 that seen the 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 as furlough scheme. boris johnson, cold tuesdays tax like a difficult but responsible decision needed to fix the funding shortfall in health and social care were beginning the beginning to 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 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 1st 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 only here because it's on demick 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 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 agenda of build back and better point and slogan the bars. johnson repeated against a political commentator anthony webb told us that the tax hike reflects a responsible government behavior during the pandemic. i think it is damaging because of the way it's been job to saw when 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. and now today, all the problems we had with the chests and with social care interested. well, the pool, the camera after breakfast, could fax it the next because the candidate for the french presidency is now holding on his country to seize back control and free itself from the grip of brussels. and he's a big name and politics to shall do. better explains from paris. he was the man that was leaving the charge when it came to those brig negotiation thing was the man that was in charge of insuring a victory you for you. and during many years of briggs, that she was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions, even that she was the u. k. you trying to cherry pick was wanting from the you. now

mission vanya is telling a very different story, something for the presidency, hearing from elections take place in about a little. and the things he is saying is shocking. many events in the south, the phones yesterday, he post about leaving out more fluid, european counterpart. it was germany 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 or the european convention on human rights, or by an interpretation by our own judicial institutions. the reaction as i was in fact, some people were so shocked about these comments. they thought that this was fake news. how could someone like me? should vanya see such things. there is a junior european affairs mystic lemme borne, said that he couldn't believe that some of these who is truly committed to europe

will be able to say such things. others suggested the mission 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 neglect 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, his attempts to defend his comments seem to make things worse. you can only how briggs and she is, has been reacting to this. here are 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 overpower for

e. u and european court of human rights who born is true feelings, it seems about you and about european institutions couldn't have come the worst time to the book at the moment. brussels is trying to reschedule supremacy when it comes to issues of the countries such as hungary and poland, even seeing some questions being raised by germany called to school course. and he's coming to from meetings to maybe to, to have more influence when it comes to the european union to counterbalance the 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 trouble is hash. you been through wrapping up this addition of the weekly thanks for watching on. call him right back me the next edition. they just have a home and that one me

the ah ah ah, there's a thing in the koran attributed to the prophet mohammed, the dreams a threefold. sometimes they represent divine guidance, sometimes sorrow from the devil, and sometimes there about the conflicts of dated 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, african women. and now being told that this amounts to satanic possession. and they turn to and i'm, what can they count in this time of existential struggle? ah, join me every 1st day on the alex summon,

show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the look, we're in that war for 20 years. whether there's a junk and come see the procedure to do project can troubleshoot the united states . did what we want to do in afghanistan. oh, john, john will still hold the line. hello. i'm out of city way just by way. i concluded that it's time to end america. longest war is time for american troops
