got everybody locked down in the rear or no food and no one really shook unless somebody either stuck a species in the cove. if you're living like the semen of own, but in the 21st century, we put i do not wish you. i'm not simply what you do. god, i don't hear your front of the camera view of us all. mike has the right secretary stayed on the blanket and over his handling of the full i've got the crisis. he says he inherited from the full of president donald trump. also today, russian president vladimir putin, himself isolation for cobra. 9 case with protected amongst is i'm on to rise

shortly before this decision to isolate the russian leader had another nice meeting with the syrian counterpart to charlotte side. but he express phase about foreign presence in the meetings comfrey. we speak to daniel mid, very big. so right now offer a surprising victory in the us, open the russian tennis claiming his 1st grand slam by defeating world number one, nova, talk of it, ending the own dream of winning all 4 majors in a single season. ah, i know that you think 14th of september live from ortiz will use h q. it's kevin, over with you for the next half an hour will come to the program. and 1st in his testimony before congress, she was secretary said anthony, blinking it's been harshly grilled for the hasty pull. i've got this done. lawmakers didn't minutes their words for the countries top diplomat. i can

summarize this in one word, the 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, you know what you i don't hear your installation of intelligence when you stereo the front of the camera and you will realize of the live all the last you as flight left. i'm going to start an august 30th. bring to a close america's longest war. ready in the 2 weeks between the telephones rapid advance and the deadline for the us withdrawal, the world witness chaotic images, thousands of desperate african sold away out. during all that though,

the button administration continue to put on a brave face to senior correspondent. we're going to have is no with this from cobble with more. it was largely a partisan spectacle with republicans attempting to shift the blame for this catastrophe, as they described it onto the biden administration. the democrats, on the other hand, as well as the administration, attempted to absolve themselves of all responsibility for what happened in cobble as american troops pulled that more importantly, the by minute administration says that this is squarely on the shoulders of trump, the former president, because it was him who agreed to they pull out without leaving them a detailed plan as to what to do. now, the republicans saying that this is an agreement defense because barton had the better half of well half a year to make sure that americans were evacuated,

that everything was done and orderly in an orderly fashion, especially considering that the intelligence was that. but the state department and that intelligence agencies had warned that there was a serious risk that the taliban would overrun the country very quickly. the biden administration nevertheless, maintains that what it did at he's made the best of a bad situation, which he, those brecht has long ago. a song when one was killed in 2011 a decade ago. ok, this capabilities were degraded significantly. we completed one of the biggest air lifts in history, much of the equipment that was left behind, including in the hands of the afghan forces that then fell to the taliban. much of it, based on what i understand from my colleagues at b o. d is an operable or soon will become an operable because it has to be maintained. it's not of any great strategic value in terms of threatening us. many of the arguments that be her during the hearing never. well,

there was stretching the truth to put it lightly, for example, that outside has been degraded. well, that is incorrect, that is more widespread with more followers than ever before. as for the argument that much of the equipment and weapons left behind by the united states and gather stock will become inoperable. well, that is untrue as well. because even if the taliban doesn't care for, for the 20000 hum, these the, the 40000 pickup trucks, thousands of other vehicles as well as half a 1000000 farms left behind the united states. well, as will simply be able to cannibalize those, that it doesn't need to make sure that they're still functional years that decades into the future. what wasn't touched apart in the hearing all that much was the, the humanitarian situation here and gather on, which is to put it again disastrous because there is, there is of the prospect of collapse and on the political front of the show. so

front, at the, especially on the humanitarian front, the hunger we're talking about across the country. the you in itself has said that more than $10000000.00 afghans, a 3rd of the population, depends on humanitarian aid. and they have no assurance that tomorrow they'll be able to eat. and bearing that in mind, the time about and booth the taliban in the world. food program have said that he stop positive catalyst on we'll run out by the end of timber unless something is done. i mean, you, you take a walk down the street here and in capital duty, louis as well as teachers, professors begging for food because they haven't been paid in months because government accounts have been frozen internationally, especially in the west. and the taliban has nothing to pay them with and bearing lisa get in mind as some of the questions we have during that hearing address the l g b, g q, community and their well being. as you know, mr. secretary, the l g

b t q i community afghanistan is extremely vulnerable to punitive actions from the taliban. what thank you for rightly putting the spotlight on concerns about the l g b, g q i pos, community. and i can't stand that 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 that he's not the dumbest man in d. c is his boss already has that title. it is important to bear in mind that that people are saying the l g b t q, community, the lives that their rights, that they don't matter, the point these, they're making that the l g b t q community was persecuted under the previous us back regime the government here where he'll most technicality was an offense,

and it was punishable by even death, a sherri, a lot, more remote communities. and for them now to be tried to turn people turn people's attention away from the crisis. he's gripping of genocide and to focus on the l. g . b t q. community. well that he's dishonest. to put it to put it lightly. we spoke were by this was charge us for lieutenant currently used to work for the same pentagon. new told us that in her view by miscalculated are blank, and of course he is culpable in many ways. but the, 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 blame trump for everything. we don't see signs 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. for some persons have reputed himself, isolation of recovered 19 case was detected amongst his entourage comes to the rose caf report summit. me to pass off the president spokesman has confirmed that lettering pudding has tested negative for covert. so it is important to stress that we're not talking about russia's president, getting coven or any infection himself. but there are people within his entourage who apparently have and this is the reason he is self isolating. now the news didn't come as a surprise. that is something that the president mentioned the other day saying he may self isolate during an award ceremony for rushing portland parents at the kremlin. and now we've been officially confirmed. now what does this mean for the president scheduled? letterman putting

a go into continue his work meetings online. it said that he will take part in a session of the c s. d o counsel, a military, a lines of russia and 6 former soviet republics, as well as the meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization. but all of that will be via video link. it is worth mentioning that the president of 2 jobs have spoken vaccine a few months ago. and according to him that when rather smoothly he mentioned only mild side effects. in general, the situation regarding cov, it remains relatively stable in russia, especially compared to the uptake and new cases back in june and july. house official seemed to have managed to get the surge under control in part because authorities pushed nationwide vaccination campaign. we saw over $40000000.00 rushing a little less than a 3rd, receive at least one dose of the vaccine. shortly before his decision to isolate goodman fujen hosted the ser, related by sharla sad unannounced visit to the russian capital. monday's meeting

was the 1st between the 2 sins putin's visit to damascus last year. apart from discussing the situation and i've got to stand both lead to stress the need for restoring political dialogue in syria, with the country still trapped in a decade long civil war. and put in reassure the saw that his country had the support of russia, but raised alarm at foreign presence on it. so glove, no problem when the main issue in my opinion is that foreign armed forces are present in certain serious territories without any un mandate. and without your authorization, which clearly contradicts international law and prevent you taking maximum efforts to consolidate the country and move along the path of its restoration at a rate that would be possible if the entire territory was controlled by a legitimate government. you spoke to britain's former ambassador to syria, who said the timing of the meetings just right now, given the current situation in the middle east. i think it was probably very timely into the recent american withdrawal from afghanistan. now logically,

you might think the president biden would follow up withdrawal from ending the forever war in afghanistan with a similar withdrawal in syria. after all, the purpose of the can troops in northeast syria, supposedly to keep control over. i fish is a transparent nonsense. the real purpose has been to put pressure on a sad to set down and is very unlikely to happen. and therefore the u. s. continuing presence in northeast area. the french government's been struggling to explain its handling of the cova crisis as the country's former health ministers officially come under investigation for her pandemic policy and endangering the lives of french people. shallow dependencies got more on the story menu, mac corner look to seek

a 2nd term at the helm of from serious questions of being all about the way his administration dealt with the covey. 19 pandemic. first to be something for the full might help them in the stuff on your own. on january 24th 2020 as it was being confirmed that the vars had reached prompt. she had made the statement in the disco risk of invitation from hon is moderate. it is now practically 0 since the city, you know, is isolated the risks upside the facts around and imported case of very weak and the risks of spread and virus in the population. a 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 crime because i knew that not the way was in front of us from the start. i only thought 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 diluted president micron and then prime minister edward felipe about the potential dangers of the virus in january 2020. loosen is now under destination by a special court for endangering the lives of others. this is one of the very 1st cases worldwide were leading public figure is being held accountable for how the crisis was handled. however, you 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, the current health minister livia around the court of justice also has the site set on the director general of health and public health frogs. the pressure is

on the court of justice is wading through thousands and thousands of complaints against government ministers, all over allegations of ms. handling the pandemic. even president, my colon has admitted that from was you prepared? i 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. michael and those that he a point says that he is president, enjoys immunity from prosecution. now, since that was a missions from has run up its rules, mosques remain mandatory in shops and on public transport. health passes showing you do vaccination faces or obligatory in many cultural and leisure

spaces as well as in most restaurant fonts and cafes rule that triggered approach. the, the those who end up in court over the state handling of cove, it will have the opportunity to state 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 post was a power sample designed to prevent the virus from entering. and she lied about the mass. it seems only now politicians have finally discovered serving the public interest comes with responsibility. seems the door to the robot says, here is russia's been using them in combat, alongside humans in 2021 military drills. let's take a look and robots named audra 9. a nectar were put through their paces on monday. they resemble tank side of the day. he can say network to terry across the plains of western russia, novgorod region. the military vehicle provides cover fire cover, apparently for a human units, while the more aggressive order 9 is that good to destroy is they put it enemy equip, but other 3 to 5 kilometer radius. zappa 2021 drill take place every 4 years across russia with the latest high tech. as you can see, this is our national still the. com. thank you for watching. by the way,

the european stay to san marino has been urging the you to let people inoculated with the sputnik the job in the blog as the countries already defeated the virus with the help of the russian vaccine. more on it after the break i use i use ah,

me rather driven by shaped control. those in me who dares thing we dare to ask me. ah, again, some reno's urging the youtube whose board is the people in ocoee later with the splitting the job as most of the country has received the russian vaccine. but the use medicines watch dog is still hesitant about whether or not to prove it. summary, those top diplomat saying 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 will write to you specifically 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 in our republic. largely thanks to the use of the russian vaccine. almost 20000 people as to 3rd to summary as population have been inoculated, responded v. but their inability to move freely is especially problematic because the landlord nations entirely surrounded by italy and member state and citizens who had the russian job and unable to obtain a coven 19 passport. summary of health chief, also shipping in st. geo. politics as a part to play in the issue. we have some problem to, to. ready get movement in in italy during some

jubilee legal issues. there is no doubt that to fight coby. it is necessary to dispose of as many vaccines and treatment as possible. the 94 percent of people actually need to be has antibodies infection to do tv controlled. we are talking about 58 positive people to date and we have 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 you for julia because we do the sexiness vaccine. and some marina, that isn't the only state is found the russian cove which ought to be effective.

this new study and from argent, tina, published by the renowned medical journal. the lancer, showing a single doses put degree is better protecting the elderly against serious code with 19 infection than other jobs. if you want to check and let yourself read more about it, to find it, t dot com, sport sport and i was good news for russia after winning his 1st ever grand slam. dynamic veteran has been speaking to us. russia's top 10 is play a defeated world member, one of the joke of h to lift the us open title and stopped to serve them from claiming all 4 majors in a single season. it's the 1st such title, a russian male is one since 2005 on the 5th grand slam victory by a russian male in history. so well done. he, you can see the full interview. if you fancy with that champ on youtube channel. 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 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 feet 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 with the finance. we didn't have funds for some time. the things that they supported me through all it all the week a lot and there was no love, hate relationship this year. and i think they just, it was not a guest me. they really wanted not to when there was

a lot of serbia phones in the stands. it definitely was not an easy moment, but that's what makes it even sweeter. this is become a token point and you think about it a brutal victory of a transgender woman and form a us special forces sergeant over a female opponent in a mixed martial arts fight already split. critics, some are applauding it is a key step to a quality while others are pulled and what they call a dangerous mismatch between a female and a biological male. i never got the details from lexia ski delana mclaughlin from south carolina is only the 2nd athlete in the history of mixed martial arts to compete being an open transgender. she won 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 to see among pundits and experts who said that this was an unfair advantage. primarily because atlanta 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 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 alonda mclaughlin transition 5 years ago, which means that she lived 33 years of her life as a man tonight mclaughlin thought and be to buy a logical woman. what a shock this is nonsense. this is alonda mclaughlin, the female, who won her 1st. i'm in a fight against someone born a woman. i think people can identify with whatever they like, but i don't think this has a place in compet sports. your think this is okay and empowering to trans genders. interestingly enough, not only and i'm a 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 cannot change into 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 backward for 2 rounds being, you know, 4 against by a very equal opponent. and also the fact that everything, all the kind of critics is coming her way is just me a trying to phobia. that's what she described. but i have to say, this is not the 1st case of abuse 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 m. m. a. there was

a fighter, fox fallin retiring into 2014, also a transgender. but as we can see, this issue is still very divisive, especially when it comes to convert sport, idaho, state representative, barbara police who would only be fair for athletes who want to go agenda, transition to compete against others who have done the same. every sport, every division, rather 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 effects. 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 fight it. we're not, we're not playing on ethan grounds right now. there's opinions and all sides about this. if you want to get involved in the conversation on any of her stories candidacy, they'll come in the comment section or go to our socials, etc, always good to hear from me and 28 minutes past the hour. reporting from oscar. this tuesday. kevin. oh, in a great to me here today, signing off and thanking you for watching our t international. oh, the join me every thursday on the alex simon 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. oh, when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't the room. yes. to fill out the thing because after an engagement equal betrayal, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground in this is your media a reflection of reality. the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type

relation for community. are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah. i have often said transfer fee for the bell full receive for the last bit cares about privacy or people care about is power. julian, a son just become a symbol of the battles of brevity, information is power. that's what's going on. and a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and.
