think me, we dare to ask in the us lawmakers, the rape secretary of state anthony blinking has had little to pull out from a guy across his he says he inherited from former president donald trump, not even food and cell phones to like softer team jason. his entourage and will continue carrying out his duties on lloyd before having to isolate the russian lead, held him about meeting with their counterpart by shot on a sudden he expressed fears about the florida present in the lease. but russia had proposed on friday for the general election parties. the candidates take

special coverage this hour throughout the week. ah, why for most go though, because you're willing to national. i'm daniel hawkins with you till sunrise. welcome to the program or testifying to congress us it gives your state anthony blinking has been harshly grilled for the rush to pull out from going to start. little make it didn't mean there was with the country's top to promote 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. then 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. the us deadline to quit, i've got to start expired last month, bringing america's longest war to a close. at the pentagon, withdrew the ton about rapidly took over, sparking chaos with thousands of afghans trying to flee the country. throughout the boston administration insisted things were going fine. what else is finding it ever hard though to maintain that narrative? as all he's seen, correspondence more guys the a for foods from couple. 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 bar 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 at he's made the best of a bad situation, which he, those back as long ago or song. the latin was killed in 2011 a decade ago. ok. this capabilities were degraded, significantly 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 we heard sharing the hearing never. well, they were stretching the truth to put it lightly. for example, that outside has been degraded. well, that is incorrect, that is more widespread with more follow than ever before. as for the argument that much of the equipment and weapons left behind by the united states and get this

done well, 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 firearms 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 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 afghans, a 3rd of the population, depend, humanitarian aid and they have no assurance that tomorrow they'll be able to eat.

and bearing that in mind the time about and both the taliban and the world food program have said that huge stock, 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 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 had during that hearing address the l g b, g q, community. and they're well, big as you know, mister secretary, the l g b t q i 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, 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. it is important to bear in mind that that people are saying the l g b t q, community, their lives that their rights, that they don't matter, the point these, they're making that the l g b t q, community was prosecuted under the previous us back regime the government here where homosexuality was an offense, and it was punishable by even death, or the sherry, a law in 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 getting started to focus

on the l g, b t q, community. well, that is piece honest to put it to put it lightly. retired us air force sort of colonel who also works for the national security agency, says bonham smith counselor to be entire situation or blank. and of course he is called people in many ways, but the department of defense is, 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 transfer power. so he can blame trump. i don't think it's, it's really valid. in this case the russian presidency and self oscillation offer

cobra case was a tech that among his entourage. soon confirmed about putting himself i tested negative for the for if you'll continue with this is work as you'll be, it's online. the russian leader has had 2 shots of us putting we boxing earlier this year. shortly before i said, i think bruton host sincerely out of state by our side on, on. i don't know, was it to the russian capital. monday's meeting was at 1st since putting damascus last year spot from discussing liter situation and i've kind of thought distressed . they need to restore political dialogue and syria with the country still from going to decade long civil war. we reassured us out of his support for the country, but raised alarm before on on a sort of blown, probably when the main issue in my opinion, is that the foreign armed forces are present and certain syrian territories without any un mandate. and without your authorization, which clearly contradicts international law and event you taking maximum efforts

holiday, the country move along the part of your respiration at a rate that would be possible if the entire territory was controlled by a legitimate government. put russians for invoices serious at the pentagon. his presence, that is absurd. i think it was probably very timely in view of 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, it's the american troops. in ne 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.

the french government has been struggling to explain its handling of the co crisis as the former health ministers officially investigate that. i have a controversial pandemic policy that allegedly endangered lives. charlotte lumens key has a story. the manual my corner looks to seek a 2nd term at the helm of frank. serious questions of being all about the way his administration dealt with the code with 19 pandemic. first to be something for the full might help him in this stuff on your mood zone. 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 5, the fact that 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 the to 90 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 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 jeff. this also has the site set on the director general of health and public fraud. the pressure is all in the court of justice is waiting through thousands and thousands of complaints against government ministers, all over allegations of ms handling the pandemic. even president cohen has admitted that francois 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. mccall and those that he a point says 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 you do vaccinations, faces or obligatory in many cultural and leisure spaces as well as in most restaurant fonts and cafes. rule that triggered protests when the with those who end up being caught over the state handling of cobra id 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 they 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 so far as from entering. and she lied about the math. it seems only now politicians of finally the scope serving the public interest comes with responsibility. well, well, come back through all the international and i'm leaving to the hearts of moscow and election h q over living with square. what he's called him break is that to bring you the very best coverage of the upcoming election through russia state, duma, federal lower house of parliament the

who's there a just a couple of days of campaigning left to go before 3 days of voting. kicks off on friday, i'm sure other 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 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 perceive as the mishandling of japan, then it by rightly name 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 poll 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 this shift 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 poor, 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. the 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 due 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 criticized 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 is gone of though claims that there is nothing contradictory about that. 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 sullen by 15 scoundrels who don't even want to pay normal taxes. if what was inherited from our forefathers and from god work for every person,

then 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. what don't mention that socialist policies are hoping to benefit from widespread disappointments at the handling of the pandemic photos. hey, i have a choice to might be a bit confusing though. the communists of russia ought to be confused with a better known communist party have a marxist and dentist. i ology calling for people, power and for building social justice. that's for that. standing the policy one a little more than 2 percent in the previous election. it's not currently got any representation in the state duma that chad told us why they didn't have a chance. we should still use that and also for the large enterprises in russia that's were viewed by the soviet union are now in private hands. this is the result of predatory privatization whereby allstate enterprises were simply handed over to

specially pointed individuals. and today these individuals reap the profits from these large enterprises. we were not built by them, not funded by russia, returns to socialist economy. that we provide huge revenues for the national budget . we want to preserve private initiative in various branches of the economy like china, history on the accomplish. and we can utilize the successful social aspects of the soviet union, which one should not mix up communists of russia and the communist party of the russian federation, which has the 2nd largest faction in parliament. those who founded communists of russia back in 2009 initially were members of the cpr ass. but then at some point, they decided that their comrades had become to bourgeois and to soft on the kremlin when it comes to preserving social justice. now the cpr aft has been at odds where the communist russia all the law, claiming that there is stealing a vote of the country's main left wing political force. yet communist russia say

that they have their own unique way of winning hearts and minds of russians. for work, if she reduced or was full movement for us to do people name, 1st and foremost, and free health care. i often travel to different countries and everyone says that social countries have the best healthcare. this is true, even in cuba, which is on restricted embargo, where the united states, people from all over the world go there to receive medical care. second is we need to be slanted housing that the state people for free for 330, we must provide a free, high quality education. if not a social will degrade that there are great signs. missing. russia is a legacy. the soviet government was the. well, there are a lot of similarities between the 2 parties and programs. they both want to nationalize key sectors of the economy. they want to call off the recent pension reform that saw russia is retirement age increase. the want to provide free housing

for those below the low incomes and regulate food prices. yet communists of russia present themselves as real hard liars and true successors of a light in march. well, now it's up to a laugh leading voters of which are plenty in russia to decide if they are indeed true communist, as they claim they are. that's all for miles. he's election a to for this hour and doesn't correspond to the right the way through the remaining campaign days on those report results come monday morning, the the ah, to be with

me ah ah ah. i have often said transparency for the powerful receipt for the last bit about privacy. what people care about is power. juliana sons is 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 others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what to do. watch houses help shift the conversation around transparency. see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable survived. in the 19 twenties and 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 us back home. black americans suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. the not but the real be losing sure.

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 soldiers union in 1830 found great success monet blown to. mm hm. and now almost a 100 years later, history is repeating itself. my great grandfather, george times, 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?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is truth? what is faith in the world to corrupted you need to this end? the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, ah, chinese warship have been plotted off the coast of alaska and we will tell you a lie and how this raises the temperature on already sensitive water. the 3rd state a blanket appears in person this time in front of the senate, hearing on the chaos can withdrawal in the american response to the deadly attack

outside the airport to ball. we will bring you expert analysis in highlights, including moments like this. the guy, the biden administration drone, was he, an aide worker or an isis k operative. the administration is, of course, reviewing that, that strike. and i'm sure that a full assessable d will. before you don't know if it was an aide worker or an ices k operative, i can do it on the day. republicans are hoping to tell us, i, i don't know because we're brew during the day. republicans are hoping a california to vote and governor governor out of office is here and even president bite and decided to get on the campaign. we will bring you at the last 24 hours at leading up to the results of the 55th attempt to recall the governor of california . i'm going to use these stories and more on today's new use right here on our to

america. let's get started. ah, thanks for joining now. we're going to start today show with new photos posted on the pentagon information service, which revealed for chinese warships which were selling in the waters off of alaska . now the 4 ships, including the most advanced destroyer, sailed near the aleutian islands, august 29th through september 1st, but did not enter us territorial waters and retracts a whole time by the u. s. coast guard. so why did the pentagon post the photos and then take them down just hours after posting, and how does this play into the continued activity by the united states in the south china sea? while to help us with some answers, we bring in a former counterterrorism officer drew request for thank you so much for joining me on this. hey, thanks for having me. got a real temperamental area that we're dealing with the south china sea, we.
