then now, well, reduce the lower the best under cutting, but what's good food market to get to the global economy? the ah, this weekend on the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attack, the f. b, i has released the declassified documents about those who carried out the atrocity with the files, though essentially repeating known facts and adding no information on possible saudi involvement. reports suggest the us mistakenly targeted and aft and aid worker and drones strike, killing him. and 9 members of his family were from 2 fathers who lost children in that attack. the youngest of them were just 2 years old. i'm the head of the family that has lost 10 of its members, and this is not a mistake of america. this is
9:01 pm
a crime. meanwhile, in our news review of the week, a series leaked of leaks coming unconfirmed messages from the pentagon reveals panic resulting from the afghanistan withdrawal. us troops are unable to rescue desperate american citizens in one form. our special forces soldier who shared the encrypted messages gave us his thoughts about what happened. our biggest problem getting people out, actually the u. s. government, actually not the taliban. we've seen the military. people behind the gate. the us military was not letting even civilian americans with passports, american passports, and the british prime minister admits he broke a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix a shortfall in health and social care funding. ah,
9:02 pm
the hello there. thank you for joining us on the weekly, on our t international. my name is done with quarter. welcome to the program. kathy has released to previously classified documents and investigation into the 911 attacks victims. families have long demanded such records to be made public with many calling for more focus on allegations of saudi involvement. however, it's not clear whether the latest disclosure really says anything new as r t corresponded. dimitri power reports. the latest report declassified by the f b i, pertaining to the 911 terror attack, was hoped by many to finally shed light on the role of saudi arabia and the plot. some of the families suing the saudi government for its alleged involvement. wanted this report to be a smoking gun, but is it? well, frankly not really. the report is heavily redacted. a meeting, many names title than other information, but more importantly,
9:03 pm
most of the information is actually old news. most of the things detailed in the report turn out to be supplementary. the findings made public years ago. for example, the new report just gave us more details on a man accused of supporting 2 of the hijackers. but says pretty much essentially the same thing as a 2016 document to describe what you mean as a saudi citizen treated with great respect inside the cell, he considered, well regarded by consider personnel who held a very high status, the f. b. i has received numerous reports that al, by you, me, may be a saudi intelligence officer i'll, by you, me, had extensive contact with the saudi government's establishment in the united states. it's still not exactly evidence of saudi government involvement. another example is hot offer married and accredited diplomat society consulate pro allegedly also provided logistical support to 2 of the terrorists in los angeles. and yet again,
9:04 pm
we learn practically nothing new about him. other than some details about how he helps that would be hijackers. the report says he held extremist views, but we sort of already knew that because he was barred from entering the us precisely because of his extremist leanings and some of the passages on all for mary, are nearly identical to what was published back in 2016 with co split to my read to assist has me and mid while they were in los angeles, i'll to my re immediately assigned an individual to take care of al has me and me dar during their time in the los angeles area. so basically the released report only gives us more detail on information that was already known, but doesn't seem to reveal any new facts that could directly incriminate the saudi government, which has repeatedly denied any involvement or prior knowledge of the attack. but nevertheless, some of the families of the victims maintain hope that this latest report will be instrumental in their lawsuit against the saudi arabian government. we had great
9:05 pm
hope that president biden, who campaigned on bringing truce, entrust 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. however, remaining suspect that this will not be a transformative report at best. it reinforces suspicion that saudi officials might have been involved with the attack, but the document does not provide any concrete evidence. then again, this report is not the last of its kind executive order following through on his presidential campaign promise. biden said, there will be more documents to come within the next 6 months. however, given how little this 1st report delivered in terms of actual evidence, many, including a former c i, a director, are skeptical that these documents will actually provide any useful insight. i
9:06 pm
suspect that the families are not going to get the kind of satisfactory answers about the role of saudi arabia with regards to this attack. meanwhile, some suspect that even if there was sod involvement, the u. s. wouldn't want to release that information after all, for v was putting such a valuable economic partner like react in a bad light would be just bad for business. saudi arabia is in a place of protection for biden, because biden has gone to such efforts to reduce the energy output of the united states. and so, saudi arabia, one of the principal countries of oil production in the world market, he needs their favor in order to continue to provide energy to the us economy. they're going to take care of saudi arabia as they are clearly doing right now by releasing a report that doesn't really tell you anything. and the indication from there is don't ask for any more. we'll give it to you in our own time. and this is a good start and you should be happy with it. it's all very much kabuki theater,
9:07 pm
dance presentation of forward and backward, and again, the gang and given taken in the end. nothing really changes except joe biden is still the president and the democrats are still in charge and that of course, they're open to go. but whatever the truth for many of the victims, families, the reality is nothing can bring their loved ones back. i know family members really want to know the information. it doesn't help me at all because i can't bring my michael home. so it's not going to, i just want to save it for the future generations. it will help them and making sure that this never happens again on american soil, and i have 2 girls for 1315. this is my nightmare which became their nightmare and they became their legacy now because they're a part of me and he, michael, is a part of me. so they're part of him. even though it's not his parents, obviously it's not at their father, but you know, i just also want to make sure they're very safe growing up. and especially if i'm not here in the future that they can navigate. new footage suggests the u. s. drawn
9:08 pm
strike and cabal that had been meant to target a terrorist group actually killed an aide worker transporting drinking water. 10 civilians died in that attack last month 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 explosive. but it turns out that that claim was false according to an investigation by the new york times. the aid worker had even been employed by an american n g l. and there are many similar fates and victims of the 20 year us campaign in afghanistan. as we discover in our in depth investigative series on heard voices, the will use all tools at our disposal phase, killed our children to united states was bringing people to watch a site. it was a pointless exercise. we spoke with 2 fathers who lost their children in the
9:09 pm
attack. the youngest were just 2 years old. thought the sandals belong to milly. she was very close to me. i looked her so much. she always told me to buy ice cream with us military forces conducted and unmanned over the horizon airstrike on a vehicle known to be an imminent isis k threads. on the morning of the bombing, she came and said, good morning, father was her last meeting. i will never see her again. the my name is maddie. i'm the head of the family that has lost 10 of its members. it was around 430 pm, i left for the mortgage, and on the way i met my elder brother who was driving back home. we talked a little,
9:10 pm
then he left to go. and i crossed the road to go to the other side. i just across the road and i heard an explosion. my daughter lead her to me that she saw a smaller truck moving around in a circle which then fired miss tyler. i turned to look, but there was a distance smoke was heard of a scene, my wife was shutting out her fire ah . busy there were parts of the children's bodies, it was so bloody and i went into my home phone, my brother and a nephew. they were critically injured, but still alive and breathing. they later died in hospital. my brother and 9 others were killed in this horrific attack. my brother's daughter, who was student to get married, also lost her lives. another relative was also here, a guest. she was killed to,
9:11 pm
oh, i love cosmetic, she likes crating her nails. she like very much on the main cause of the incident, was the american president planning this attack without any evidence and destroying family catastrophe. ringback ringback ah, the president has made clear to the commanders that they should stuff and nothing to make isis pay for the death of those american service members at the cobble airport. isis k. lived in this house, in this house with these children, members of isis. stupid thoughts without any proof, without any investigation, they killed our children and we will never forgive ah,
9:12 pm
our entire family's insurance, being so painful for us mentally, we are not in a stable condition where the women are dead silent. they don't speak tomorrow, we left devastate at home, and now live in my sister's place, so painful to visit it. because we could see your children dying there. the people accusing us of having contact with islam mc state, the americans who colemander family seeing we've been preparing an attack on them. they're complete and utter lawyers. ah . ringback after the incident, no authority came here to investigate. nobody asked us what happened to your new one help. ready no one came here to morally support us. do not mistaken america.
9:13 pm
this is a crime. we've lost her children. the count returned to us. so at least or owner should be word bias for investigation into the in we off the international community to investigate this incident. ah, make no mistake. no, no, terry, on the face of the earth or harder to avoid civilian casualties than the united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life. i'm happy to, the americans have left us get this done. they came because of their own goals and humiliated in my country. america is not achieved. anything else going on? america has failed in afghanistan. and in his made people miserable
9:14 pm
more americans were allowed to leave afghanistan on thursday with the taliban, giving them the green light to flee on charter flights. almost 10 days after the official end of the u. s. withdraw many more though still remain as the biden administration grapples with the fall out. and a series of leave messages is now shutting light on the failed efforts to evacuate american citizens and the american citizens. yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. now those texts which haven't yet been verified, were disclosed by michael young, a war correspondent and former us special forces soldier. he was among civilians working with the military and private networks to rescue stranded americans. and he gave us details of his conversation with a high ranking u. s. military officer. that colonel was not physically present, but he was in contact major general chris donahue who,
9:15 pm
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. in 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, but the biggest problem is not valid in italy. man,
9:16 pm
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. like, oh, yon also released the conversations with contractors who are incapable one of them, claiming that $45.00 americans, including women and children, were unable to enter the airport even if they had their us passports with them. the source claims that some more even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get in.
9:17 pm
he added that he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as they were facing a terrifying wait. however, those commanders apparently refused to step in, leaving those still stuck outside to meet their fate. another contractor wrote that us generals new their citizens were stuck outside the airport, but still would not grant access, even proposed paying other governments, such as the united kingdom, to help airlift americans and confirmed the general mark millie, chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs of staff had made the decision not to open the gate. can you confirm general milly was mentioned by name as the leader that is condemning them to death. yes, i can confirm that mentioned by name. the fixture coming from those conversations, starkly contrast, the vitamins administrations, narrative has the white house kept insisting that the situation was under control, and that no american citizens would be left behind. what we're doing every single
9:18 pm
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 listed history. extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless. courage is united states military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. after the evacuation, michael yon wrote a scathing letter to the military's high command, highlighting some of what he saw as missteps. specifically that us nationals were abandoned at the gates while 3 empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them. there. we have the pentagon for clarifications, but they have so far declined to comment on believes the lack of transparency has made matters worse. that's what americans always say. we leave no one behind and
9:19 pm
right. and right now we've seen the military lead 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. no, we're going to try to get them out and we're getting a lot of them out right now. the military in the department state are in our way at this point. so in addition to leaving people behind, they are stopping us from getting them out. now, department state isn't our way where we want the military and the government to get out of our way. we don't need their help anymore. i mean, now that we're getting success as civilians, because you know, we can do it. we don't need them, we're faster or more efficient. and we don't have the bureaucracy and we're just smarter than they are. and in the u. s. a suspected gas explosion has ripped through an apartment building in a suburb of the city of atlanta. the building partially collapsed with 4 people,
9:20 pm
reported injured. authorities structurally reinforced the destroyed area to conduct a thorough search. and they now do not suspect that anyone else inside has been trapped investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the incident. across the atlantic, the british prime minister has admitted breaking a key pledge of his election manifesto by raising personal taxes to their 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 high except yes, i accept the break. i manifest commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the. the move follows and 18 months spending spree because
9:21 pm
of cobra 19, which has seen the national debt spiral. and the 1st year of the pandemic, the government borrowed $300000000000.00 pounds, a large part of which was used to fund a workers for low scheme. for johnson called tuesdays tax hike, a difficult but responsible decision needed to fix the 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 have try to frame this issue of, for example, people living longer and having healthier lives and insensitive way of dealing with
9:22 pm
what are very real issues for the elderly when it comes to their pensions to governments cases of the 1st day or in the pandemic have produced a statistical aberration i reject the presentation of this issue is 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. 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,
9:23 pm
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 better point and slogan the bars johnson repeated again. do i know how much political commentator anthony webber told us the taxes reflects a, an irresponsible government behavior amid 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. 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 additional meetings like a mummy term house, as the leader of the opposition court. and now today,
9:24 pm
all the problems we had with the chest and with social care. interested well before the camera won't receive briggs it but could for except the next a candidate for the french presidency is now calling on his country to seize back control and free itself. from the grip of brussels, he's a big name in politics too. as charlotte davinsky reports from paris, he was the man that was leading the charge. when it came to the brig negotiations. thing was the man that was in charge of insuring a victory. you fool that you and during many years of briggs that she was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions you even choose the u. k. you trying to cherry pick was wanting from the you. now mission volunteer is telling a very different story, something for the presidency hearing from elections take place in about
9:25 pm
a month. and the things he is saying is shocking. many events in the south from yesterday about leaving out more fluid, european counterpart. it was one to 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 of 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 mistake level. 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

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 close to school feels would only apply when it comes european calls on issues such as migration. 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 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 overpower for e. u and european court of human rights. who born is true feelings, it seems about you and about european you shouldn't come at the worst climb to the
9:27 pm
book at the moment. brussels is trying to reschedule supremacy when it comes to issues with the whole country, such as hungary and poland. even seeing some questions being raised by germany called to school court and his comments from meeting to maybe the am to, to have more influence when it comes to the european union to counterbalance influence of germany. just 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 voices hash a short range passenger plane, with 16 people on board has crash, landed in the remote air. could screech of central russia not far from lake by call, authority say to flight crew members and 2 passengers were killed. recording has emerged even of a phone call by one of the survivors to emergency services. someone
