it's remarkable give me the, the, the, the, the, 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 involved. reports suggests the u. s. mistakenly targeted and aft and aid worker and a drone strike, killing him and 9 members of his family. we heard 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. this is not a mistake of america, this is a crime. meanwhile, in our news review of the week,
10:01 pm
the series of leaked unconfirmed messages from the pentagon reveals panic resulting from the dana stand. withdrawl us troops are unable to rescue desperate american citizen. and one former special forces soldier who shared the encrypted messages gave us his thoughts about what happened. our biggest problem on getting people out actually to us government is actually not the admin. 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 . hello there. thanks for joining us for the on rti international. my name's donald
10:02 pm
quarter. welcome to the program. the f. b, i has released a previously classified document on its investigation into the 911 attacks victims, families have long demanded such records 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 is dimitri poke 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, admitting many names, titles, and other information, but more important wait, most of the information is actually old news. most of the things detailed in the
10:03 pm
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 the 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 establishment in the united states . it's still not exactly evidence of saudi government involvement. another example is hot offer, married an accredited diplomat, society consulate who allegedly also provided logistical support to 2 of the terrorists in los angeles. and yet again, we learned practically nothing new about him. other than some details about how he helped that would be hijackers. the report says he held extremist views,
10:04 pm
but we sort of already knew that because he was borrowed 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 re, to cyst has me and middle, 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 release report only give us more details on information that was already known, but doesn't seem to review 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 hope that president biden to campaigned on bringing truth and trust,
10:05 pm
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 the veneration to those last sick and injured welcome, the president to a hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment. however, remaining suspects that this will not be a transformative report at best. it reinforces suspicions 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 in is it accurate 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 suspect that the families and not going to get the kind of satisfactory answers
10:06 pm
about the role of saudi arabia with regards to this attack. meanwhile, some suspect that even if there was saudi 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 buying because biden has gone to such efforts to reduce the energy output of the united states and 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 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 in 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, dance presentation of forward and backward. and again,
10:07 pm
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 is darrell 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 who are 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. they're part of him. even though it's not his parents, obviously it's not 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. the new footage suggests to us drone strike and couple that had been meant to target is
10:08 pm
a terrorist group actually killed, an aide worker. transporting drinking water tends to 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 drone strike suggesting that he was transporting explosives. but it actually turns out that claim was false according to an investigation by the new york times. that aid worker had even been employed by an american and g o. there are many similar face and victim of the 20 year us campaign in afghanistan. as we discover in our in depth investigative theories on heard, the will use all tools at our disposal. killed our children for united states was bringing people to watch a site. it was a pointless exercise. we spoke with 2 fathers who lost children in the
10:09 pm
attack. the youngest were just 2 years old. thought the sandals belong to melinda. she was very close to me and i looked her so much. she always be only 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. mm. the my name is maddie. i'm the head of the family that has lost 10 of its members, and it was around 4 30 pm. i left for the market and on the way i met my elder brother who was driving back home. we talked a little, then he left to go home and i crossed the road to go to the other side. i just
10:10 pm
crossed the road and i heard an explosion, my daughter later to me that she saw a smaller craft, a drone, moving around in a circle which then fired and miss tiled about hitch or home. and i turned to look there was dust and smoke lightning, it was a terrible scene. my wife was shutting her high. she was on fire. ah. busy there were parts of children's bodies, it was so bloody increase and i went into my home on fun, 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 life. another relative was also here, a guest. she was killed to oh,
10:11 pm
i was maya love's cosmetic. she likes painting her nails for she like dolls very much. the main cause of the incident was the american president planning this attack without any evidence and destroying our family. with the catastrophe. ringback ringback ah, the president is made clear to the commanders that they should stop and nothing to make isis pay for the death of those american service members at the cobbler airport. they say, isis k lived in this house in this house were these children members of ice is a stupid thought without any proof, without any investigation, they attacked us and killed our children, and we will never forgive them. ah,
10:12 pm
our entire families. in short, it's being so painful for us mentally. we are not in a stable condition. the women are dead silent. they don't speak, you know, we left out devastated home and now live in my sister's place. it's so painful to visit it because we could see your children dying there. the people accusing us of having contact with islamic state, the americans who bombed our family, seeing we'd been preparing an attack on them. their complete and utter liars, 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. this is not a mistake of america, this is
10:13 pm
a crime. we've lost her children. the count returned to us, so at least are owner should be restored by us for investigation into the incident . we all see international community to investigate this incident. ah, make no mistake. no military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than the united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taken i think that the americans have left us get this done. they came because of their own goals and humiliated my country. america is not achieved. anything else going on? america has failed in afghanistan, and it has made our people miserable. more americans were allowed to leave
10:14 pm
afghanistan on thursday with the taliban, giving them the green light to flee on charter flights almost 10 days after the official and of the u. s. withdrawal. many more of those still remain as the biden administration grapples with the fall out. and a series of leave messages is now shedding light on the failed efforts to evacuate american citizens and the american citizens. yes, all of them. we are abandoning american citizens. 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, who was the combatant commander on the ground. and so that colonel wasn't
10:15 pm
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 todd man. 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't even make up the
10:16 pm
stuff. this is like something for a weird movie. so taliban is saying that us forces have to either 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 yon also released 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 somewhere even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get in. he added that he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as they faced a terrifying weight. however,
10:17 pm
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 government, such as the united kingdom to airlift, americans out and confirmed that general mark, milly, chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs of staff had made the decision to not 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, starkly contrast, the biden administration narrative, as 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 minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create safe passage
10:18 pm
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 list 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 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. we asked the pentagon for clarifications, but they have so far declined to comment. and yon believes that the lack of transparency has made matters worse. that's what americans already say. we leave no one behind. right. and right now we've seen the military leave people behind the
10:19 pm
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. now 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 reported injured, and authority structurally reinforced the destroyed area to conduct a thorough search. they do not now suspect that any one else has been trapped
10:20 pm
inside an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the the british prime minister has admitted to 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, no conservative government, no conservative government to speak every want to raise taxes and i will be honest with the heights i stepped. yes, i accepted the brakes. a manifesto commitment, which is not something which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within the falls and 18 months spending spree because of coven 19, which has seen the national debt spiral. in the 1st year of the pandemic, the government borrowed 300000000000 pounds,
10:21 pm
a large part of which was used to fund a workers furlow scheme. forest johnson called tuesdays tax hike, a difficult but responsible decision needed to fix the funding shortfall in health and social care were 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 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. the governments cases of the for the data and the pandemic have produced
10:22 pm
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 panoramic 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 team. 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
10:23 pm
as possible when it comes to the agenda, not just in the u. k. the so called global gender of build back a better point. and slogan the bars johnson repeated again to work. he political commentator anthony webber told us that the tax psych reflect irresponsible government behavior amid the pandemic. i think it is damaging because of the way it's been done to saw where he's playing a pandemic. the government has actually dealt with the kid a 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 means, like a money term has as the leader of the opposition in court. and now today, all the problems we had with the chests and with social care interested, well be poor. the camera won't receive breaks it,
10:24 pm
but could phrase it 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. and he's a big name in politics as well as charlotte. you've been sky reports, he was the man that was leaving the charge. when it came to the brig negotiation thing was the man that was in charge of insuring a victory. you fool you. and during many years old briggs that she was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions you even accuse the u . k. you trying to cherry pick 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 a level. and the things he is saying is shocking. many events in the south from yesterday about leaving out more fluid in europe.
10:25 pm
germany is doing and when it came to migration and 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 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 volunteer see such things? there is a junior european affairs, mr. clement born 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 an electric just straight up dislikes you, regardless. well,
10:26 pm
bonia has defended his common thing. the idea of a constitutional field would only apply when it comes european court on issues such as like gratian, but 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 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. one is true feelings, it seems about you in about european positions couldn't have come at the worst time to the book. at the moment, russell is trying to research the supremacy when it comes to issues with the court
10:27 pm
on country such as hungary and poland. even seeing some questions being raised quite germany called to school court and his comments of 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 troubles was, is hash 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. and a recording has emerged of a phone call by one of the survivors to emergency services. someone just like your home on the floor. what
10:28 pm
the hell for 10 propeller aircraft operated by a regional airline made a hard landing in thick fog. about 4 kilometers short of the destination runway emergency workers had to pull apart the wreckage to free. the people stuck inside, poor weather conditions and possible technical failure are being investigated as suspected causes that's it for this our join us again and just about 30 minutes for the weekly me the join me every thursday on the alex salmon 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
