individual will power and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic. that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the vehicle, its corporate. me. ah, so my to the right secretary said anthony, blinking for his leg over pulled out from i've got to start the process. he says he inherited from, for, for the told from food and so was laid off for cobra 19 case. and he's on the show and will continue carrying out his duties and law and order before having twice like the russian lead held it out. leave it with serious count the bought bus thought way, express fears about the foreign present in the middle east. and russia had the

polls on friday for the general election. all the parties to become that it's what's at stake in our special coverage this hour. and throughout the week, ah, why from oscar? thanks for joining us tonight on our team tonight shuttle. i'm daniel hawkins with utah. sunrise. welcome to the program. first testifying to congress, you a secretary of states and to blinking has been harshly grilled for the rush to pull out from up kind of stuff like he didn't mean that was with the country's top diplomat. president states is somewhat disadvantaged here in someone's calling the shots. he can't even speak without someone in the white house, censoring it or, or signing off on it. i don't know how it's possible if in fact the people in charge of our foreign policy did not see all these factors and conclude that there

was a very real possibility of a rep, very rapid collapse. and we've got the wrong people making military and diplomacy decisions in our government. the washington post called it a moral disaster. i think it's a moral disgrace. you nearly dislocated your shoulder though, patting yourself on the back for the great job you've done. i mean, just yesterday you stated we did the right thing by our citizens in working feverishly to get every one of them out. but you didn't get every one of them out. us headline to quit going to san expired last month, bringing america longest, ever war to a close. as appendix withdrew the taliban rapidly took over the spot in chaos. with thousands of afghans trying to flee the country. throughout the boy, the ministration insisted. things were going fine, the one house that was finding it harder to maintain that narrative, as all the senior correspondents, what got the reports from cobble. 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 buyer minutes. 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 is made the best of a bad situation, which in those brecht has long ago a song that was killed in 2011 a decade ago. ok. this capabilities were degraded significantly. we completed one of the biggest air lists and 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 maintain . it's not of any great strategic value in terms of threatening us. many of the arguments that be heard jarring the hearing never. well, there was stretching the truth to put it lightly, for example, that i'll hide has been degraded. oh, well, that is incorrect to these 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 up 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 i've got this done, which is to put it again disastrous because there is, there is of the prospect of collapse and on the political front of the social 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 food stop positive get this done. will run out by the end of amber 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. 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 q i pos, community. and i can stand in a 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 know sexuality was an offense, and it was punishable by even death, a sherri, a lot, more remote communities. and for them now to be trying 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 is dishonest. to put it, to put it lively. a retired us air force to sort of currently also work for the national security agency. says one's miscalculated the whole situation or blank. and of course, he is culpable in many ways. but the, the department of defense is the, is the 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 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 transfer power. so he

can blame trump. i don't think it's, it's really valid. in this case the russian president is himself isolation off recovered 19 case was texted among his entourage. it's been confirmed about putin himself as tested negative for the virus who will continue with his work shows you all bits on line. the russian leader had 2 shots of the split vaccine earlier this year. shortly before isolating proven hosted syrian head of state by sharla side on, on, on another visit to the russian capital. monday's meeting was 1st since posting visiting damascus last year, thought from discussing the situation in afghanistan, the latest stress, the need to restore political dialogue. in theory of the country spilled traps in a decade long civil war putting, reassured us out of his support for the country, but raised the law of a foreign pregnancy on its own in the gloom there. probably one of the main issue in my opinion, is that the foreign armed forces present about any un mandate and without your

authorization, which clearly contradicts international law, i'm revenge you taking maximum efforts holiday. the country move along upon the rest of the ration at a rate that you will be inside of coverage. a was controlled by a legitimate government. you get the wrong voice. serious at the pentagon, the presence there is absurd. 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 american troops in the northeast, syria, supposedly to keep control over the ice. if it is a transparent nonsense,

the real purpose has been to put pressure on. i said to set down and it's very unlikely to happen. the friends government's been struggling to explain. it has like a coven crisis, as a former health, when it says officially investigated over a controversial pandemic policy, but literally endangered live shot. doing ski has the story, the manual, my quarter looks to seek a 2nd term at the helm of france. serious questions of being all about the way his administration felt with the cove with 19 pandemic? first to be something for the full, my health minister on your boots, on, on january 24th 2020. as it was being confirmed that the virus had reached. she had made the 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 5, the fact that around and imported case of 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 paid to become the mayor of parish moved on 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 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 diluted president micron and then prime minister edward felipe about the potential dangers of the virus. in january 2020, susan 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,

may not be here in front of those who held high office during the pandemic. do you to be question to that includes? would phillipe and the current health minister leave you around? the court of justice also has its site set on the director general of health and public 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 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 lacked 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. mccolan though, is that he a point says that he is president, enjoys immunity from prosecution. now since that was a missions from has run stuff, it's couldn't be rules. mosques remain mandatory in shops and on public transport. health passes showing you. do vaccinations, faces are obligatory in many cultural and ledger spaces as well as in most restaurant fonts and cafe room. that's true. good. protect the with those who end up in court over the state handling of cove, it will have the opportunity to think that defense moving has already said that she

won't let the action of the government being discredited and 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. in the month 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 help management, which was a disaster. remember, it was august 1st and who said that the virus with don't spread in front. but also one post was a power sample designed to prevent so far as mentoring. and she lied about the matter. it seems only now politicians have finally discovered serving the public interest comes with responsibility. this is all the international still to come launch back into our russian parliamentary election, special coverage as the race he sought for seats in the state duma. that's coming up in 90 seconds. ah,

join me every 1st day on the alex summon 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 ah, with me ah ah, i use

the, the, the, the the welcome actually international. we're not moving to the hearts of moscow. i know election i q over looking read square. article embrace that to bring you the very best coverage of the upcoming elections to russia's state duma, the federal law house of paula the

who's there a just a couple of days of campaigning left to go before 3 days of voting. kicks off on friday and throughout the week we're going to be here introducing you to the party in the race, the priorities on voters minds and also a bit more insight into rushes politics. just to clarify for you how the election works while they're fighting for there will be 450 m, b from 225 and actual districts chosen to the state. do they get a 5 year term? half of them, it's 1st past the post. it's majority vote again, single mandate constituencies on the basis of one m. p. 's per constituency. the other 225 sent in by the parties. but i need the parties that managed to secure more than 5 percent representation. and parliament that will be known. come monday, no doubt, and that's for the issues that are on voters minds. well, russia, of course, is not immune from what many worldwide the safe as the mishandling at the time, then it by right,

cleaning governments. so donald court has been asking whether that could boost left this groupings at the russian ballot box, super profits for some abject poverty. for others, the pandemic striven. a sharp wedge between the world's rich and poor, sending millions of people to the bread line. while the lead skyrocketing profit margins carry them into space, i also want to think every amazon employee and every amazon customer, because you guys paid for all this. ah way to make space more accessible. all welcome to dawn avenue space age ah, ah, in the u. s. a pole of 18 to 34 year olds found only 49 percent of respondents had

a positive view of capitalism. that's down from 58 percent when the same question was asked 2 years ago. and the ship can be seen through the 10000 new people who have joined the democratic socialists of america since march. people are really starting to just look around and say, man, capitalism isn't working. if the markets can't even produce hand sanitizer the toilet paper masks during the plague, what good as the system? a steep majority of young brits also on socialism according to a new poll by the institute of economic affairs, almost 70 percent. in fact, at the same time in spain, the socialist workers party has retained its firm, hold on power. throughout the pandemic, for people growing up in the economy far less forgiving than the one in which their parents spent their best years. radical solutions look like the only viable ones. defeating a disease. like this is an activity for which

a society must be prepared and which is society must mobilize its resources to confront this disease when cold is 19 came in the late winter of 2020. the united states was unprepared and the united states has been able to cope the country. this system as a whole has broken down, and that is a clear way in which the experience of the pandemic has made the witnesses of capitalism and the growing interest in socialism. much stronger than it was already before that russia also has not been in to the rise in global wealth inequality. the countries rich have added $40000000000.00 to their collective net worth since the beginning of this year. so the russian communist

party says it's going to tackle the financial gap, its program titled 10 steps towards people. power promises fixes through policies like nationalization of key industries and banks, as well as an overhaul of industrial investment. although some have criticize the k p r ups own relationship to russia's millionaires since the party nominated over 100 of them for its ticket to the state, duma general secretary cannot use the gun of though claims that there is nothing contradictory about that most. is it possible for a millionaire to be a communist? i believe it's completely possible for us all to be millionaires. if the 10000 minds that this country has created worked for every person. there would be plenty of millionaires, but even stolen by 15 scoundrels who don't even want to pay normal taxes. and what was inherited from our forefathers and from god worked for every person and the situation would change dramatically. it's times like these when capitalism is not

exactly doing much good for many people. that 1000000 struggling to get by start to look for alternatives. well, the socialists be able to step up to the parliamentary play towards the other end of the spectrum is the liberal, conservative civic platform that was founded by someone else with the pocket 1000000000 a metal proper of for an internal bust up made him quit. that is, the policy stands in support of the small or mid sized businesses and promote boosting domestic production to substitute to import its chairs. also civic platforms only pay in the current parliament, the party winning less than one percent last time round. in the 2016 poll constantine rosco takes a closer look. civic platform is one of the minor par parties which has only one representative in the state duma currently. and of course, their political weight is relatively small, especially compared to heavy weights like the when united russia or the communist party, yet the seek to again support him a one particular group of vote, voters small and mid sized entrepreneurs. and in

a campaign at the head of the party already had show who dina shots in the head of bunker sam with a domestically made sling shot which reflects civic platforms, main message that russia needs a strong economy 1st and foremost in order to thrive on the global stage to move, the stronger will be the stronger the sanctions will be, because we'll be taking back those markets that we lost during the dissolution of the soviet union. look how difficult it's been to distribute our vaccine, how difficult to complete an old stream to its like a military operation. if the find resources for money and we're being pressured from all sides. in such circumstances, the main task is maintain our sovereignty to strengthen it. what do we need to do for that? we need a foreign policy that does not surround with military events, revolution cetera. and domestically, we need to develop our markets. we spend 16 trillion on important medicine, health,

equipment, machines, electronics. we need to restore at least half of what this country sovereignty, its security and the health of its citizens depends upon. the platform was founded in 2011 by russian tycoon and back them the party was more west, leaning liberal, leaning, and more critical of kremlin to konami policies. but the 2014 regional occasion with the crimea put a dent in the party's unity, some of the party members public and back to government. and even how rallied in support of the re, re unification with the peninsula. but then make a proper of and some of his allies dissented and quit, or the foster who did. he took over then has chosen a last critical approach towards the kremlin and focus more on winning hearts and minds. business owners, 1st the parties main task is to support employment nationwide. individuals who sell for lines who want to earn money,

a lot of money to spend an invest in the country. they are prepared for success and the competitive environment to generate their own wealth, as well as national wealth. that's a good method, our country that we need to bring back a plan, the economy, a socialist economy. another message that we should liberalize all the market's doing so would benefit everyone. we've been chasing economic growth, cutting back funding for hospitals for wages and haven't been paying attention to the people themselves. we need to return to a multi structural economy. and where should be planned, we do that and why we need market small businesses entrepreneurs that we need to completely liberalize those areas. all 50 proposals that council has made for supporting small and mid sized businesses have been approved by the government, including tax holidays and concessional, lending to keep up employment ord into the post. chances are low that to the platform will hit 5 percent threshold and make it into the new do my. but they can still compete for several seats in the national parliament through the constituency

elections because the party is represented in the local parliament of 8 regions in russia has just one of the parties hoping that they will be able to see on the thoughts of one particular section of the electorate in order to boost that chances are seated out of the state. we're profiling all of them between now and that's all for miles. he's election h q for this. our angles and correspondents right away through the remaining campaign days does say on those report results come monday morning. the do join us throughout the week on the latest on that russian state duma election because the reports heading your way just a few moments time were back in office with the latest join us again that the

in the 1920s infinity, several 100 african americans move to the soviet union, and many of their descendants still live in russia. no, no rush, but i still have yet to be. i chose for nice things and it was that richard lum duck back home, black american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. you said last month, real. be losing one by one. provide you with the ranger. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all. some of the african americans who went to service union in the 1930 found great success monet is always going to call me and now almost a 100 years later, history is repeating itself. my great grandfather, george time,

went to russia. i'm probably the worst time to go anywhere. why not mean? what if i come here? ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation community. are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is truth? what is faith? in a world corrupted? you need to this end. the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. i

the max kaiser. this is the cause report, you know, war is over if you want it. really. yes and dave stacy? well, many great people throughout history have said that certainly great thinkers, great singer, a great artist, and great businessman, maybe this guy, 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 exist? hint, thank bit quain time for a thread.
