the who's ah, this weekend on the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attacks the f. b, i has released the declassified document about those who carried out the atrocity with the files, though essentially repeating known facts and adding no information on possible saudi involved reports suggest the u. s. mistakenly targeted and a half dan aid worker and drones strike, killing him and 9 members of his family. we heard from the 2 father to last children and youngest of them were just 2 years old. i'm the head of the family that has lost 10 members. this is north america and crime,

and i got on that one. meanwhile, in our news review of the week, a series of leaked unconfirmed messages from the pentagon reveals panic resulting from the afghanistan with roll. us troops are unable to rescue desperate american citizens and one former special forces soldier who shared the encrypted messages gave us his thoughts about what happened. our biggest problem getting people out actually in the us government is 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, and the british prime minister admin. he broke a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix a shortfall in health and social care funding. ah,

oh, hello there. thank you for joining us for the weekly on rti international. my name is donald quarter. welcome to the program. yet b, i has released to 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 document really says anything new, as kevin know and discussed with our team to be 3. poke this report, what it is basically is it's an interview with 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 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 with smashing 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 south, 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, sorry, national, there's 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 some restaurant, the ones who, but it does not give any specific evidence, not new, no connection. society, 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 in their lawsuit against saudi arabia. because

again, they're suing saudi arabia for billions of dollars in damages. for their suppose and involvement in the 911 attacks, the one the 1st report dropped. the 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, 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 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 director has said that there's people shouldn't really expect too much from these upcoming documents and reveals, i suspect that the families 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 note 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 to link even though the, all the terrorist like $900.00. there was 1900 and the terrorist and during that 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 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 radio host and political analysts. dave perkins says the report lacks details because saudi arabia plays an important part in the us economy. saudi arabia is in a place of protection for biting, 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 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, 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 there. go. meanwhile rushes new york consul at envoy survey of john cove gave a speech at a memorial ceremony to honor $911.00 victims. the commemoration was held in front of the tear drop memorial and new jersey attend story sculpture donated by the russian government to honor the fallen in those terrorist attacks while expressing sorrow for the victims. the diplomat noted that the memorial is also a symbol of russia solidarity with the u. s. in its time of need when murdered anything. new footage suggests that a u. s. drones strike and couple 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 several 7 children. us forces said that the mans vehicle matched 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 explosive . but it actually turns out that that claim was fall according to an investigation by the new york times. the aid worker had even been employed by an american n g o. there are many similar fates and victims of the 20 year us campaign in afghanistan. as we discover in our in depth investigative hearing on heard voices, the will use all tools at our disposal. killed our children to united states was bringing people to watch a sight. it was a pointless exercise. in a recent report in the series,

we heard from 2 afghan fathers who lost their children in that attack. the youngest war to the youngest were 2 year old girls. a total of 7 children were among the dead. saw the sandals belong to melinda. 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 threat. on the morning of the bombing, she came and kissed me and said, good morning father. it 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, 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 crossed the road and i heard an explosion. my daughter lead her to me that she saw a small aircraft. i drove moving around in a circle which then fired a missile, hit her home and i turned to look, but there was distance smoke lightning. it was a terrible thing. my wife was shutting out her high was on fire. ah, 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 lives. another relative was also here a guest. she was killed to,

oh, i as bush, my love, cosmetic. she likes crating her nails for she like don't very much. the main cause of the incident was the american president planning this attack without any evidence and destroying my family was a 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 cobble airport . this 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,

in 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 tomorrow, we left our 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. that people accusing us of having contact with islam state the american to 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 here. no one

help. no one came here to morally support us. this is not a mistake of america, this is a crime. we've lost her children. the count returned to us with mr. owners should be restored by us for investigation into the incident. we off the international community to investigate this incident. ah, make no mistake. no, no cherry on the face of the earth, works harder to avoid civilian casualties than the united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taking 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 in african america has

failed in afghanistan, and it has made our people miserable. and we'll have more 1st 10 stories from people whose lives were forever changed by americans longest war and are continuing special series on heard voices, which you can also check out at r t dot com. now 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 us withdrawal. many more. those still remain as the biden administration grapples with the fall out. and a series of leaked messages is now shedding light on failed efforts to evacuate american citizens and the american citizens. yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. now those texts which have not yet been verified, were disclosed by michael yon, a war correspondent and former us special forces soldier. he was among civilians

working with the military and private networks to rescue stranded americans. he also gave us details of his conversation with a high ranking u. s. military officer. that colonel was not physically present, but he was an contacts, major general, chris donahue who, who was the combatant commander on the ground. and so, 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, 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. be in italy, man i'm actually it's in some cases of actually helped us. you can even make up the stuff. this is like something for a weird movie. so taliban is saying that us forces, happy to come and get them or call us to let them through. nobody can make up the stuff. i don't care who's fault it is the department of state or the military. it's all of your fault. you didn't let them in period they were at the beginning. then of course, the next day we have a pentagon in the white house 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 were in

football, 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 claim that some of them were even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get in. he added that he was that he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as they faced a terrifying weight. however, those commanders apparently refused to step in, leaving those still stuck outside to meet their fate. and other contractor wrote that us generals new their citizens were stuck outside the airport, but was still not grant access, even proposed paying other governments such as the u. k. to help airlift, americans out 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 picture coming from those conversations

starkly contrast. the biden administration's narrative, as the white house keep caps 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 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,

the us nationals were abandoned at the gates, while 3 empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them there. we asked the pentagon for clarification, 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 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, we're 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, reported injured. authorities structurally reinforced the destroyed area to conduct a thorough search, and they now do not suspect that anyone else has been trapped inside investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of 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,

ever want to raise taxes. and i will be honest with the highest like steps. yes, i accept with the brakes manifesto commitment, which is not something yeah, which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within one. this follows and 18 months spending spree because of covered 19, which is 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 furlough scheme for johnson called tuesdays tax hike. a difficult but responsible decision needed to fix a 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 saying the way the government try 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 that 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. 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 pledge that the prime minister has broken within

a day. the 2nd of those being an announcement to raise national insurance contributions, which they the government that is promised not to do in the lead up to that election at the end of $29.00 teams. so the government, the chancellor, the treasury all with a balancing act to do to have tried to please if not all sectors of society as many as possible when it comes to the agenda, not just in the u. k. the so called global gender filled back and better point, and slogan the bars johnson repeated again. do i know how much political commentator anthony webber told us the taxes reflect 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 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 this additional meetings like a mummy house, as the leader of the opposition court. and now today, all the problems we had with the chest and with social care interested well before the camera won't. after breaks it could for exit be next 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. to charlotte to ben sky reports, he was the man that was leaving the charge. when it came to those great, vic, negotiation, he was the man that was in charge of insuring a victory. you fool that you and during many years of breakfast he was the man that kept saying you is the gold standard during those discussions and even the q 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 thing he is saying is shocking. many events in the south from yesterday he was leaving out more fluid, european counterpart. it was germany 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 this was fake news. how could someone like me should volunteer see such things? the problem is 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 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, she would only apply when it comes european court on issues such as like gratian, but his attempts to defend his comments seem to have made 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 overpower for e. u and european court of human rights who born is true feelings, it seems about the new and about european nations couldn't come. the worst time to the book at the moment. brussels is trying to reschedule supremacy when it comes to issues of the whole country, such as hungary and poland. even seeing some questions being raised by germany called to school court. and he's called me to phone meetings to maybe to, to have more influence when it comes to the european union to counterbalance the influence of germany. this will suggest that the relationships within the block goes cosy, i think, would have you believe which many will one day if this does mean that there are trouble waters short range, passenger plane, with 16 people on board has crash, landed in the remote air, coots,

korean of central russia, not far from lake fi call, 30 say to flight crew members and 2 passengers were killed. and the recording has emerged of a phone call by one of the survivors to emergency services. to someone just alone, someone always didn't like your home on the work yell for 10 propeller aircraft operated by a regional airline. made a hard landing and stick fog. about 4 kilometers short of the destination runway emergency workers had to pull apart the wreckage to free. the people stuck inside and poor weather conditions and possible technical failure are being investigated as possible causes that's all for the weekly on rti international. thanks a lot for watching and stay tuned for your normal news programs and just about 30 minutes. me

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me ah ah, ah hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. peter labelle in the wake of biden's, humiliating exit from afghanistan. there are those in the you gentry class again, revisiting the possibility of a.
