no, what about really? i'm not sure somebody either that got me specially built in the coven, your living like the theme at home. but in the 21st century, i the betrayal the worst for affairs disaster in american history. and that's a failure on you. simply put, i do not wish you. i'm not simply couldn't love what you thought i dealt with here . you want us to make his brain secretary state anthony blinking over his handling, polite from afghanistan christ. he says he inherited from former president donald trump foresight to come this way. we're gonna introduce you to the parties involved in the right. of course it would be for inside politics. why am i to be on the left?

russia is getting ready for parliamentary elections. this week is we take a look at the parties, the candidates, and also what's at stake. and we speak to the new mit vet is after his surprising victory in the us open the russian tennis starting to the 1st grand slam by defeating the world. number one, choke of h, ending his own dream of winning all 4 majors in a single season and dropped politics after defeating cove. it with the vaccine, the tiny state to submarine, i will be to open its borders to those who had the jap. ah, hello, that just gone 10 in the morning here in moscow you watching out the international . now in his testimony before congress, the u. s. secretary of state hampson, the blank and has been harshly grilled for the hasty plank from afghanistan, and all makers didn't minced their words either with the country's top diplomat. i

can summarize this in one word, but trail mr. blink, and assuming it's not classified, can you tell us where you are today? yes, i'm at the state farm. it could couldn't be bothered to come down here and see congress are right. that's great. this administration's bungle pull out from afghanistan just may be the worst foreign affairs disaster in american history. and that's a failure on you either to plan or you had a horrible plan. simply put, i do not wish you. i'm not simply what you said. i don't wish to hear your installation of intelligence when you run to the camera and not list your regularly or lives of the intelligence stuff or your life all well, the last us flight left got to stand on august 30th, bringing to a close america's longest for the 2 weeks between the taliban, rapid advance and the deadline for the u. s. withdrawal. the world witness. chaotic images as thousands of desperate afghans sorta way act during all this. however,

the by the administration has continued to put a brave face on it. while after a poor performance bullying can return to the by the ministration man trip of blaming donald trump for a crisis democrats inherited, however, despite us citizens being left behind in afghanistan, secretary of state they chose to choose to focus on the lack of inclusivity in the war torn country, something he faced mockery on line for as you know, mr. secretary, the l g b t q community in afghanistan is extremely vulnerable to punitive actions from the taliban. what thank you for very, rightly putting the spotlight on concerns about the l g. b, g, q, i, pos, community. and again, it's the end of the particular threat that they may find themselves under. this is something that we are focused on. i'm glad that cleared up. i'll be sleeping so much better tonight. thank god, luckily we have no issues in our country that are more important than the l g. b t q. crisis in afghanistan. what, a complete absolute bleeping idiot we have for

a secretary of state. the only reason he's not the dumbest man in d. c is his boss already has that title. we spoke more about this with a retired us air force left handing colonel. he used to work for the n s a and also the pentagon. and she says that biden miscalculated or blink. and of course, he is called people in many ways, but the department of defense is the, is a big player here. and the tone of the questioning today is really political theater. and you can, you can kind of watch it on both sides. it's more entertaining than it is revealing . we blamed for everything. we don't see signs so that i assessed the situation 8 months ago. let's say in january, let's say at the end of january, when he took power, it didn't seem like he was really assessing what he had been left by the previous administration. and that's the duty of all presidents as they tread for power. so

he can blame trump, i don't think it's, it's really valid in this case. you're watching out international. okay. well, let's turn now to our special coverage of russia's parliamentary elections, which are due to take place this weekend the welcome back to the heart of moscow. and to special studio full set up here throughout the week to bring you the very best coverage and reporting on the election for the state to do about the russians. loa house for voting itself takes place over 3 days on friday, due to the end of sunday. this week we're going to introduce you to the parties involved in the rice. also give you a deeper insight into russian politics. why it matters beyond the lesson for the 1st konstantin raj cove explains why the elections are so special this time around

more duties, more responsibility, more power. the upcoming election marks a new chapter in the history of the state duma. russia's lower house of parliament, the 2020 constitution, the referendum gave russian legislators, new authority hands. whoever grabs these seats now will have greater political weight than their predecessors. the dumas now responsible for approving the countries prime minister, deputy prime minister, that most of the cabinet. what remains intact, however, is the duma structure and there are $400.00 and tpc for grab, which will this time be contested him on the 14th political party, the president can still appoint minister is responsible for national security and foreign policy without parliament's approval. but even with that floss the new elected m, p 's will gain more influence and play a bigger role, same domestic economic affairs. and this is just a fraction of their newfound authority. the 2020 amendments have also solidified

the so called parliamentary control, a range of legal action. the duma can take the over hold different aspects. the countries governance like finances. for instance, m p 's can now summon russia. central bank chairman who now must report both to the president and the parliament with new powers come new responsibilities. they would be in peace now face cow, for scrutiny to be allowed to run. no foreign citizenship and no money or acids in banks outside of russia. the pandemic has pushed authorities to increase the online balloting 1st tested during the 2020 constitutional referendum. 7 russian regents will provide this option for those who can't or don't want to go to a polling station. in addition to vote is going to be held for 3 straight days to avoid lines and unnecessary commotion ad ballad boxes. the increased role of the country's main legislative body, along with organizational challenges make this election. one of the rushes most significant, both of the last decade. oh those are the technical. what about the 14 parties

constantino just mentioned that we're going to take you through some of them. let's start with a just russia patriot. for truth along title for a party. i know it comes off to adjust russia recently merged with 2 smaller poppies. it's a social, it's leading policy at 16.2 percent and the previous selection that made it did pass that 5 percent threshold. that all important threshold needed to get some seats in parliament, hollywood stuff stevens ago. he's now called russian citizenship. he's a member of this coffee. the chairman of the party told us what they offer. and what they expected was a new socialism. we say that private property is necessary entrepreneurship to redistribution of wealth is mandatory, as well as the control healthcare cation, science and culture should all be the burden of the state business. it shouldn't finance any of that. why is it in so many countries around 80 percent of government revenue comes from small, medium businesses. but in russia it's less than 10 percent. export to the oil and

gas contribute the lion's share. of course there should be a different taxation system. the state doom election results would be highly influential. but unfortunately, people don't get it. they can't say that went off the repeated promises that the retirement age wouldn't be increased is still happened. that was a decision made by the state duma deputies the people voted for some of them. at least some stayed home 5 years ago and didn't vote. as a result, people in the duma voted for reforms to trash collection, health care and increase in the retirement age. people need to understand live, depend on those who will be in the state duma after these upcoming elections. so she will help will be affected. this safety when they see justice in the country or not, but people aren't able to connect the dots and see this pretty much. what was it about? the journalist martin summers says that the ruling coffee is likely to do some support. well, i think the pension sold is clearly going to be

a major issue and it's not just been raised by the pension is party it's, it's the major issue between the main policies that, that are likely to fall better than 5 percent. and our suspects search, the main thing of interest to our side is, will be that the predominance of the united russia over russian politics is going to be somewhat wednesday removed because they get there are actually going to be the largest party. but i do not think they're going to get the 50 percent of the vote that they had last time. which implies, of course, that we're talking about coalition politics in the russian duma, which of course is normal in other european countries like germany. all right, that's all from our reduction studio for this hour, but our coverage is really only just beginning plenty more for you in the coming days here on the international. because we explain the big issues facing russian versus people trying to win that balance this weekend. the

french government has been struggling to explain his handling of the kobe crisis is the country's former health minister has officially come under investigation for her pandemic policy and endangering the lives of french people with more on this is charlotte davinsky, the manual. my corner looks to seek a 2nd term at the helm of france. serious questions of being all about the way his administration felt with the cova 19 pandemic? first to be something for the full might help him in this stuff on your own. on january 24th 2020 as it was being confirmed that the vars had reached prompt. she had made the statement open. the disco risk of invitation from hon is moderate. it is now practically 0 since the city, you know, is isolated the risks of thought. the facts around and imported case of very weak

and the risks of spread and virus in the population of very low. however, a few months later, often leaving the health ministry and launching a failed bid to become the mayor of parish lose all was telling a very different story. when i left the ministry, i was crying because i knew that not the way was in front of us from the start. i only sort of one thing. the corona virus. we should have stopped everything. it was a masquerade. she also will lead to told the parliamentary investigation that she'd alerts in president macro and and then prime minister edward felipe about the potential dangers of the virus in january 2020. loosen is now under investigation by a special court for endangering the lives of others. this is one of the very 1st cases worldwide we're leading, public figure is being held accountable for how the crisis was handled. however,

we may not be alone here in front of those who held high office during the pandemic. do you to be question to that includes edgewood felipe and the current health minister olivia, around the court of justice also has the site set on the director general of health and public fraud. the pressure is on the court of justice is wading through thousands and thousands of complaints against government ministers, all over allegations of handling the pandemic. even president cohen has admitted that france was prepared and mistakes were made. let's be honest. the moment has revealed flaws, shortcomings, like all the countries of the world. we have lack gowns, gloves, hydro alcoholic gels. we were not able to distribute as many mosques as we would have liked for our caregivers for staff carrying for our seniors,

for nurses and home helpers. however, the difference between mr. mccall and those that he a point is that he is president, enjoys immunity from prosecution. now, since that was missions from has run up, it's couldn't be rules, mosques remain mandatory in shops and on public transport health passes, showing your door vaccination faces are obligatory in many cultural and leisure spaces as well as in most restaurant fonts and cafes rule that triggered protein the with those who end up being caught over the states handling of cobra, it will have the opportunity to speak that defense losing has already said that she

won't let the action of the government be discredited. much was done to prepare for the global crisis. whether or not that was the case is now in the hands of the french judicial system. from the very beginning, there were apparently lies understatement. so many failures not health policy. justice should come into play to understand what really happened to health management, which was a disaster. remember, it was agnes fuson who stated that the virus would not spread in front, but also hung posters at paris, therefore, designed to prevent so far as from entering. and she lied about the mass. it seems only now politicians are finally discovered serving the public interest comes with responsibility. now it seems the dawn of the robot is here because russia has been using them in combat, alongside humans, and it's a pad 2021 military trails. robots named wood and 9 and new rector were put through that pace is this monday or 9,

neutralizing an anti tank missiles system to destroy manpower, military equipment, to the radius of 3 to 5 kilometers. while no director provides cover fire for human units. the 3 will be, take place every 4 years across russia. what's, you know, i think still had this out of the, you repeat state of sam marino has been urging the you to let those in ocoee late the job into the block. the country has already defeated the virus with the help of the russian vaccine. we'll take a look at that just off the bright. ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very political time. time to sit down and talk join me every thursday 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 me. i think we're going to say something remarkable going to senior economy. take on the g, d p and also about to explode, hire and that all ravens about to go fully going hyper before the nation. and that's going to filter up to some bigger countries is going to go global, and we're all living to something that is absolutely remarkable. the hello again are some arena urging you to open its borders to those inoculates the sputnik fi job. as

most of the country has received the russian vaccine, but the medicines watchdog is still hesitant to buy whether to prove it. some marino's talk to, matt says though there is no place for politics when it comes to vaccines. look, there should be no politicization about the use of a vaccine scientist should speak about the research. and we were glad to see that we were right to use boutique v, because it has indeed helped us reduce infections. i would say even reduce them to 0. we did not have any issues in the summer months and we do not have any today even though new virus trains have emerged. we can see that the situation is very calm and our republic largely thanks to the use of the russian vaccine. almost 20000 people. that's 2 thirds. a summary. nice population have been an aki lated with sputnik fee, but their inability to move freely is especially problematic. as the landlord nation is entirely surrounded by italy and the members state and citizens. you've had the russian job and i, unable to obtain a k with 19 passport summary,

knows health chief says that geo politics has a part to play in the issue. we have some problem to, to. ready moment in in italy there is some jubilee nickel issues. there is no doubt that to fight coby. it is necessary to dispose of as many vaccines and treatment as possible. the 94 percentage of people actually need to be has antibodies, the infection to do tv ambulance control. we are talking about 58 positive people to date and we haven't had not death since april and our visuals are currently extremely meals. i believe it will be an

opportunity that european union can not miss julia because me is do the and effectiveness vaccine or summary now is the only state that is found the russian k, which ought to be effective. and you study from argentina, published by the renowned medical journal, the lancet does show a single dose of sputnik fee is better protecting the elderly. again, serious code with 900 infections and other jobs. you can read that story in more detail at a website at oxy. don't come off the winning his 1st ever grand slam. the new york midvale is, has been speaking to us here at ortiz brushes, top tennis pi has defeated wells. number one novak joke of h to lift the u. s. open title and stop the search to you from claiming all 4 majors in a single season. you can see that interview him for a youtube channel, but his taste of what he said. oh,

yeah. first of all, i didn't leave a lot left like 3 hours and definitely a lot of emotions going through my body and through my head. but force just really happy and a lot of relief. because finally choose something i was dreaming for a long time. yeah, i think i think it helps me when i say this, i'm talking only from my side because i knew he's going to have this pressure at the same time. it's not like and when he has pressure, he becomes a better player normally. so i knew that from the start of the match, i need to turn this pressure on him and not let him be stronger because of this pressure and feel from it. because that was just super important point of the match . and i'm really had to manage to, to follow my plan. yeah, well, it was not easy, especially for kinetic, we didn't have funds for some time. the things that they supported me through all

it all the week i lot and there was no love hate relationship. this year and i think they just, it was not a guest me. they really wanted another to in that was a lot of service phones in the stands. it definitely was not an easy moment, but that's what makes it even sweeter. i funny savvy, brutal victory of a transgender woman. and for me, us special forces sergeant over female opponent in mixed martial arts is split critics because some reporting it as a case step to a quality while others are report what they call a dangerous mismatch between a female and biological, mild and own, sat down with our teeth, like she, our ship ski to get more details. delana mclaughlin from south carolina is only the 2nd athlete in the history of mixed martial arts to compete being an open transgender. she want her fight last friday against a female opponent. and that ended in a 2nd round with a rear naked choke,

which is quite a brutal way to and, and mixed martial arts about that caused a lot of control. the see among pundits and experts who said that this was an unfair advantage. primarily because alanna was born ryan mclaughlin spend 6 years in the us special forces before starting her transition in 2010. that's why many of the pundits and m. m a very renowned pundits as well said that this was unfair, irrespective of how one treats the rights of transgender people, they all said they supported the rights of transgender people. but from a sporting perspective, this was unjust. let's listen atlanta mclaughlin in transition. 5 years ago, which means that she lived 33 years of her life as a man tonight mclaughlin fought in b to buy a logical woman. what a shock this is nonsense. this is alonda mclaughlin, the female, who won her 1st and may fight again someone born a woman. i think people can identify with whatever they like, but i don't think this has a place in combat sports. your think this is okay and empowering to trans genders.

interestingly enough, not only am i, my pundits were outraged with such fight taking place, but also feminists. a couple of prominent feminist accounts tweeted out that this looks like basically a woman's abuse from a biological male. let's listen to that as well. male violence against women as a public sport. no, thank you. whether you took it up for a child, put off, take estrogen pills or dye, your hair pink and mail will always be a male and can not change into a female. this is so hideous. how can anyone bear to watch or even think that this is normal or acceptable? a lot of herself said that she didn't buy any of this criticism, stating, 1st of all, that she was batted for 2 rounds being fought against by a very equal opponent. and also the fact that everything and all the kind of critics is coming her way is just me a try for be a that's what she described. but i have to say, this is not the 1st case of obese and transgender and more. let's go back to the

tokyo olympics in 2020, where for transgender athletes made their debut for the 1st time in the history of lympics. and it's also the 2nd time in may. there was a fighter folks fall and retiring into 2014, also a transgender. but as we can see, this issue is still very divisive, especially when it comes to convert sport. when either high state representative barbara a heart disbelieve during the year would only be fair for athletes who undergo agenda transition to compete against others who have done the same. every sport, every division, whether it's high school collegiate li, internationally view lympics. we're all dealing with this right now because it's increasing in its philosophy and the participation of biological boys and men in our women sports is increasing. even though it's hard to see someone get beat up and to be forced to compete against the biological male. it stories like this that you're covering, that is the will only help our issue moving forward. i would absolutely be

supportive in helping to provide opportunities for an entirely new category. and that would be of those who have transitioned from one biological sex to the other. if they did not want to compete in on the side of their biological sex, because again, let's remember that none of them are being kept from competing on the side of their biological sex. we're literally talking something that seems more demented and completely unfair when we put a biologic biological girl and a biological male in the ring together to bite it. we're not, we're not playing on ethan grounds right now where she got into national happenings you up to date with all the news so far today we're past again. the help of the the with

the ah long when i would show the wrong. when all just don't the rules. yes, to see out. the thing becomes the attitude. an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground in

the pacific leg around the world. expedition by 1000 miles round the clock of the dead. calm, the national personal finance. even every country close by with the crew. gavin's food and water harbor to go to chat. those little thing is going to everybody's love. are almost no food, no water. but really, you know, i'm not sure somebody stuck

a speech in the coven, you're living like the the men of old. but in the 21st century, the news the match, kaiser. this is the cause report. you know, war is over if you want it. really? yes indeed. stacy? well, many great people throughout history have said that certainly great thinkers, great singer is great artists. and great businessman,

maybe this guy is not necessarily a great guy, but you know, he was a good businessman and that is henry ford 100 years ago, henry ford suggested that wars could for ever more be prevented if only there was a currency denominated. in kilowatt hours question, does this sound like something that now exists? hint, thank bit quain time for a thread. and this was from a guy who had, he is a co founder of galloway, which is like that wallet being used in el salvador. and he was responding to yet another piece, a fight from the new york times where they were like, bitcoin uses more electricity than many countries. and that this is a bad thing. but what the threat is going to show is that that's actually a good thing. and exactly as henry ford and others by the way, economists like me sees and hire and stuff like that. we're saying that energy back money as well as buckminster fuller.
