they are almost no food and no water. but really, i'm not sure somebody either stuck a fish in the cove in your living like the theme of own but in the 21st century. ah ah, simply put, i do not wish you simply to what you got. i don't hear your installation here in front of the camera. you us lawmakers parade secretary said empty blink. and then for his handling of the pull out from i've got a son across his, he says he inherited from full president donald trump. let him approved himself, isolating after coded 19 case in his entourage. nonetheless, he continued carrying out his duties online and showed it before to isolate the

russian leader held unannounced meeting with the syrian counterpart by charlotte's side, were express is a foreign presence in the middle eastern states. we speak to russian tennis star big star right now, daniel med vetted after he upset worlds. number one, nova joke of x to win the us open and stop the serbian legend winning for 4 majors this year. the news is pause 5 in the evening. this sir, tuesday, the 14th of september. here in moscow live from ortiz, world news, h q. my name is kevin, and i'm here with half an hour our latest for you, and thank you to for checking in with us. first than testifying to congress, us secretary state antony blinkin has been harshly grilled for the rush. pull up my gun. this done. lawmakers certainly didn't meant their words with the country's 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 . right? that's great. this administration's bungle pull out from afghanistan. just maybe 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 doing what you said. i don't hear you tell it when you serious front of the camera and you realized of the suffering, your life, all us deadline to crit, i've got to start expired last month. of course, bringing america the longest of a war to a close. as the pens again withdrew, the taliban rapidly took over,

sparking chaos with thousands of africans, trying to flee the country throughout the budget ministration that insisted that things were going just fine. but the white house is finding it harder than ever now to maintain that narrative. as the senior correspondent, we're going to have reports next from carbo. it was largely a partisan spectacle, but the 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 bergman's 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 martin had the better half while half a year to make sure that americans were evacuated, that everything was done and had orderly, an orderly fashion, especially considering that the intelligence was that the state department and that intelligence agencies had warned that there was a serious risk that the taliban overrun the country very quickly. the biden ministration nevertheless maintains that what it did is made the best of a bad situation, which in 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 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 hi jerry, the hearing never. well, there was stretching the truth to put it lightly, for example, that outside has been degraded. well, that is incorrect, it is more widespread with more fall was 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 the, for the 20000 hom, these the, the 40000 pickup trucks, thousands of other vehicles as well as half a 1000000 farms left behind the united states. well, it will simply be able to cannibalize those that it doesn't need to make sure that they're still functional years past decades into the future. what wasn't touched upon in the hearing all that much was the, the humanitarian situation here. and i've got this done,

which is to put it again disaster because there is, there is of the prospect of collapse and on the political front of the social product at the, especially on the humanitarian front. the. 3 hunger, we're talking about across the country. the you in itself has said that more than 10000000 afghans a 3rd of the population, depend due by the terry and 8th. and they have no assurance that tomorrow they'll be able to eat. and bearing that in mind, the tide about and booth, the tide about the world food program have said that he stop positive galveston will run out by the end of september. 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 foes and internationally, especially in the west. and the town of bad has nothing to pay them with and bearing lisa get in mind as some of the questions we had during that hearing

address the l g b t q, community and their well being. 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 rightly putting the spotlight on concerns about the l g b, g q i pos, community. and i can stand to 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 taking the l g b t q, community. they live 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 homosexuality was an offense, and it was punishable by even debt sherry 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 ripping 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. yeah. more thoughts on the big picture. we supposed to retard us. the air force left tenant colonel who also worked for the national security agency. she says biden's miscalculated the whole situation. or blink, and of course he is called the bull in many ways, but the department of defense is the, is a big player here. and a 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. he was in the south to do the tell you the russian president himself oscillation of recovered 19 case was detected amongst his entourage, constantly rose caf report me to pass off. the president spokesman has confirmed that lettering putin 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. it 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 in to continue his work meetings online? it said that he will take part in a session of the c. s t 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 of sputnik vaccine a few months ago. and according to him that when rather smoothly, he mentioned only mild side effects. in general, the situation regarding coven remains relatively stable in russia, especially compared to the uptake of new cases back in june and july, the house official seemed to have managed to get the search 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 us comes as he was saying,

the business goes on. we'll just before it. and before poacher went into isolation, he hosted the syrian had the state for charlotte sat on the visit to the russian capital. monday's meeting was there 1st since putin visited damascus last year. apart from discussing the situation in afghanistan, the leader stressed the need to restore political dialogue and syria with the country still trapped in the decade long civil war. 2, to reassure the side of his support for the country, but raised alarm to foreign presence on its soil. glove, no problem when the main issue in my opinion is that foreign armed forces are present and certain certain territories without any un mandates. 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. i wanted to get more on this. britain's former invoices,

syria told me the pentagon's presence. that is absurd. i think that if 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 american troops in the northeast, syria, supposedly to keep control over. i fish is a transparent nonsense. the real purpose has been to put pressure on. i said to step down and it is very unlikely to happen. this next french government is struggling to explain its handling of the coven crisis. as the former health ministers officially been proven for her pandemic policy and endangering the lives

of french people shall dimansky picks up the story for you. the manual mat corner look to seek a 2nd term at the helm of from serious questions of being all about the way his administration felt with the code with 19 pandemic. first to be something for the full might help them in the stuff on your mood zone. on january 24th 2020 as it was being confirmed that the vars had reached brought. she had made this statement open . the due history of the risk of invitation from hon is moderate. it is now practically 0. since the city, you know, is isolated the risks of side, the fact that around and imported case and very weak and the risks of spreading the 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 moved on 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 related to told the parliamentary investigation that she, the looting president michael 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 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 and the current health minister olivia, around the court of justice also has its 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 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 mister mccolan, those that he appoint says that he is president, enjoys immunity from prosecution. now since that was emissions 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 ledger spaces as well as in most restaurant farms and cafes rule that triggered protests. the news, those who end up being caught over the states handling of covey 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 policies. just that 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 mentoring. and she lied about the math. it seems only now politicians of finally the school, the serving, the public interest comes with responsibility. who watching the clock. exactly 17 pass. i know for the really about the cove in a minute. but for the tech leverage, we say amongst us, we thought we'd throw this in hope you let the tech to the door. one of the robot says, here is russia has been using them in combat. long side humans in something called zappa 2021. the military drills, so it would go robots named or 9 navy. they were put through their paces this monday. they resemble tanks, the conventional robot kind of thing. he can say marriage to terry, across the plagues of western russia, national guard region, the military vehicles. the people say provides cover fire for human units. while

the more aggressive order 9 is good to destroy the enemy equipment at a 3 to 5 kilometer radius. so the military people are happy, the drills take place every 4 years across russia, tech joining humans there now, but covert still to come. this is our t by the way, some marino urge is brussels to let people innoculated with this. putting the job into the you, you think it's not much to us, but boy, this is dragged on in. the countries already defeated the virus with the help all the russian vaccine. but that kind of trapped because of it will tell you more after the break. ah, hello, this is driven by dream shaped by those in

the me. i think we dare to ask in i think we're going to say something remarkable going to senior economy take on the gdp, salvador is about to explode higher and that all ratings about to go fully good going, hyper pointed ation 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 ah

ah, why again, cell is the same for the bright than some marina is cooling on the you to open it board is to people are not killing with rush and splitting the job as most of the european micro state has already been given said vaccine but the blocks medicines watchdog is still hesitant about whether or not to approve it. this has been dragging on a long time summary, those tub diplomat shipping in to saying there's no place for politics when it comes to vaccines. look, and 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 the v because it has indeed helped us reduce infections. i would say even reduce them to 0 and we did not have any issues in the summer months and we do not have any today. even though new virus strains have emerged. we can see that the situation is very calm and our republic largely thanks to the use of the russian vaccine was 20000 people. as 2 thirds of some marino's population have

been in okay, lately whispered vina, but the inability to move freely, as i said, is especially problematic because the landlord nations entirely surrounded by italy, which isn't a human mistake, that kind of traps well. citizens who had the russian job and unable to obtain that coven 19 passport. the thing they need to move. summary is health chief, also contributing to the conversation, saying geo politics as a part to play in the issue as well. we have some problem to, to. ready movement in, in italy, there is some jupiter legal issues. there is no doubt that to fight coby. it is necessary to dispose of as many vaccines treatment as possible. 94 percent of people actually need to

be has antibodies infection have to do tv, amber controlled, and we are talking about 58 positive people to date and we have had not death since april and our next 2 years are currently 3 in the meals. i believe it will be an opportunity that european union can not miss the opportunity because i think we do the an effective vaccine instantly. what we're talking about all this summary and it was the only stay this found. the russian covert shop to be effective, far from it, a new study from argentina, then, published by the renown medical journal. the lancet shows a single dose. this book is better protecting the elderly. again, serious cobit 19 inspection and other chaps. if you want to read up more, check it us site o t t o. com. 4th grade sport sees russia after winning his 1st of

a grand slam dynamic vetted has been speaking to us. he took the time to do it great rushes talk, tennis play a defeated world number one of the joke of h to lift the us open title and stopped at the same time. then the sub from planning all 4 majors in the single season. some of the 5th time russia manns won a grand slam on the 1st since 2005 so well done him. you can watch the fall interview on youtube channel. oh, yeah, for sure. i didn't leave a lot 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 helped 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 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 if with a banana 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 against me. they really wanted another to in that 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 was new interest law, sorry if we didn't catch it. the u. s. major communication breakdown with a run is over. it was the big statement that is how the head of it's nuclear

watchdog described a new deal with to run, which grant you access to site surveillance equipment. it's been signed just days before western post to, to discuss whether or not ron should be censured for a lack of cooperation. the nuclear agency insist this new agreement will ensure around transparency. this deal was signed after the nuclear agency issued its quarterly report in which should said its verification of monitoring activities in iran had quotes been seriously undermined since february 1 political and list we spoke to told us white to run is not ready to cooperate. so the situation is basically the same, nothing has changed. the incentive is different for iranian, what mattered was removing the bank all throughout the past 8 years of honey administration. he did his that he was the most cooperate with the, with the, with the united states. and nothing was given 3 iran in return, as expected. why? and he has been in compliance because it's been looking for

a conflict resolution. that's the problem here. now iran seems to have learned the less than we rhenium government is looking for, calibrating the new and developing and calibrating a new strategy in order to make the united states comply with the terms of the agreement. if there is any chance, because sanctions are the only weapon of choice for the united states and they would never comply with the terms of the j. c. p. o, a. because in that case, they would have to remove the sanctions and they would lose their weapon of choice for us news for me so far, but do stay with us. so michelle, today you can say, why enough? now we go straight to call him praise in moscow again at a special rooftop vantage point. 5 views the last to do in the center. going to be using that a lot over the next few days. he said to take you through the evening with all the headlines gearing up for russia's big elections and the weekend. it will shape the course of the country for the next 5 years. got super coverage plan then. and it's

happening for, for the week for you. but, but to know here, t h q, kevin, i will signing off and reminding you you're watching r t. it's in the i me by the panoramic know, you know, borders and the number please. ah, we don't have authority. we don't actually, the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people judge, governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also

know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel very proud that we need together in the pacific leg around the world expedition 5000 ocean miles round the clock of the dead. calm miss wilson in every country close by like the crew, gavin's food and water and food to check those for shelter.

literally. i know i said it's got everybody locked down or almost no food and no one really sure. somebody. especially in the cove it you're living like the theme of own but in the 21st century, ah ah, the united states has withdrawn their metal defense system when parts of saudi arabia signaling the us is not as committed to the golf country as it used to be this is georgia tech are part of a saudi arabia's are starting to s, place of all your horses and equipment might be scaling back in one region.

predictably, it did not take long for us military equipment left behind. i'm going to stand shopping on bringing the fuel for report, and if this means, if you ask, abandoning to some middle east allies, realigning with others back in the united states, democrats are ready to make good on their campaign promise to attack the wealthy. and the preparation to help pay for expanded social services to tackle climate change. we will give you the story of whether this is just campaign talk, and why republican se individuals are the one will be left paying. the bill. and american football season is in full swing, and a controversy has become as much a part of the tradition as tailgating and of noxious band. this year, the national anthem is in the spotlight again as a one high school over the 911 weekend, refuse to let their students wear red, white, and blue, saying it was originally sensitive. meanwhile, the nfl, it's allowing the black national anthem to be played alongside the star spangled banner. we will have a sphere to debate.
