on a device used by professional galle wags to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them. totally, the stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform. watch guys, we've got a drawn out again admit to try and try can comp will not close, only claimed innocent life. i am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed. and moreover, we know what it is, was that the vehicle and those who died were associated with for a direct rep us. that was a mistake. and i offer my sincere apology. that mission comes 3 weeks after the deadly dr tribe, which was supposed to take counter and ices k post line boma blazing the program

with speak to the father of some of the victims as part of our special project. unheard of voices. russia, elementary election is underway with 1st thing coming to an end in the west. just as the 2nd day is about to start in the far east. ah . you're watching the news on our team to national with media national park. hello and welcome to the program. depends again, has admitted address trunk and i forgot to start a band of august was a tragic mistake that had killed 10 civilians including 7 children. washington had previously claimed this trial have been necessary to prevent on talk on american troops. however, u. s. military officials now say that despite the tragic incident,

it's too early to draw conclusions. i don't think you should draw any conclusions about our ability to strike enough can a stand against isis. j. target's in the future based on this particular strike. meanwhile, depends again how the now is that they are considering reparation for those who lost family members. i think that it will depend on the ability to reach out to people on the ground with all the details of the story he's on. he's on county from campbell confirmation from the pentagon that its last strike of the 20 year afghan war was indeed edward the 10th civilians. the 10th civilians perished in this in this attack, and the united states says it is, it is sorry that perhaps it will pay compensation on a voluntary basis. nevertheless, they say that the intelligence was solid, that they deemed the threat to be imminent. we reported on the situation that there

was a lot of tension and couple. it had been feared that there would be another attack on the airport following the attack on the 26th of august, the claimed the lives of 13 american troops, as well as had more than a 100 other people civilians, taliban fighters included. nevertheless, what we've heard from the pentagon over the past 2 weeks has been well diversion, largely, the pentagon refused to answer and the state department to what they had found, what the findings about this attack, what what we heard today is that the pentagon claim stood surveilled this vehicle watched it for a number of hours before this attack. they claim that the vehicle visited a compound associated with isis k. that is isis affiliate here. and i've got a son. and that had returned to an area 3 kilometers away from couple airport where the evacuation was underway. and that is when they decided to pull the trigger to go forward with this drone strike. and they must have seen the numerous children

playing around in the cars as reported by their families at the time. nevertheless, the pet god says the, the intelligence was taller than they had no choice. but to go on with this strike . now they say they're sorry, i am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed in that strike. moreover, we now assist it. it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with ices cake or were a direct threat to us forces. there was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. the pentagon says there will be no disciplinary measures going going into the future, but that they will investigate further this particular job. so i can try to learn a lesson. they say they will be more careful with with future drone strikes. but that is not to say that they will, that they will stop targeting isis here,

and i've got to start, they, they, they made that point. nevertheless, there is, there is still the fact that not a lot of accountability has been offered by the pentagon and is an issue that has the wrong republicans, as well as critics in the united states. to say that while you know, we have heard, we have had all these hearings, the said with, with the congress that hasn't been, anyone who's reside will be applied for. but many americans, he is a fiasco, a capital airport the, the last few days, few weeks of the evacuation here, the chaos that we saw a capital airport and the lack of planning that went along with it. of the so called defense of as try can cobble report soon. imagine that the number of members of an african family have perished in that talk. they had gathered for a celebration about home and the capital. in an instance they look at took the

lines of pen civilians including 7 children. the youngest victims, 2 girls who are only 2 years old. i was special all see project and heard voices spoke to their father. i saw the sandals belong to milly. she was very close to me. i looked her so much. she always told me to buy ice cream with us military forces conducted and unmanned over the horizon airstrike on a vehicle known to be an imminent isis k threat. on the morning of the bombing, she came and kissed me and said, good morning, father. it was her last meeting. i will never see her again. the my name is amanda maddie. i'm the head of the family that has lost 10 of its members. it was around 4 30 pm. i left for the market and on the way i met my elder

brother who was driving back home. we talked a little, then he left to go home and i crossed the road to go to the other side. i just crossed the road and i heard an explosion, my daughter, and later to me that she saw a small aircraft. i drove moving around in a circle which then fired a missile, hit her home and i turned to look. there was dust and smoke. it was a terrible scene, my wife was shutting out her high was on fire. ah . busy there were parts of children's bodies, it was so bloody increase and i went into my home on fun, my brother and a nephew. they were critically injured but still alive and breathing. one day later died in hospital. my brother and 9 others were killed in this horrific attack. my brother's daughter, who was soon to get married, also lost her lives. another relative was also here,

a guest. she was killed too. oh, i love magic. she likes painting her nails. she like dolls very much. the main cause of the incident was the american president planning this attack without any evidence and destroying my family. with the catastrophe. ringback ringback ah, the president has made clear to the commanders that they should stop and nothing to make isis pay for the death of those american service members at the cobbler airport. isis k. lived in this house in this house with these children, members of isis. stupid thought without any proof, without any investigation. they killed our children and we will never forgive them

. ah, our entire family's insurance. it's been so painful for us mentally. we are not in a stable condition where the women are dead silent. they don't speak tomorrow. we left out devastated home and now live in my sister's place. it's so painful to visit it, because we could see your children dying there. the people accusing us of having contact with islam state, the americans who colemander family seeing we've been preparing an attack on them. they're complete and utter lawyers. ah. ringback ah, after the incident, noah came here to investigate. nobody asked us what happened to your new one help.

ready no one came here to morally support us. this is not a mistake of america, this is a crime. we've lost their children. the count returned to us, so at least or owner should be restored by us for investigation into the incident. we asked the international community to investigate this incident. ah, make no mistake. no, no, cherry on the face of the earth, works harder to avoid civilian casualties than united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taking the americans have left us can stand. they came because of their own goal and humiliated my country. america is not achieved anything and america has failed

in afghanistan. and in his made people miserable and pentagon spokesman john car, they said the trunk was taken to prevent a quote, imminent attack and cobble airport. i'm not able to confirm the identities of isis individuals that were targeted in those strikes. the strike was taken to prevent an imminent attack on the airport. let's go live now to form a us marine corps intelligence officer. scott ritter. it's called very nice to have you here on the program. thank you very much for joining us. so have their submission come as a surprise to you that had been growing speculation about the strike in the press about it could be you are so source, he's no longer hide from from us the truth. why did it take them so long term method? well, 1st of all, the results of the strike did not come as

a surprise to me. i said almost immediately after the strike that there was no way this. the isis a hormone stake it making the taken. and that this was clear evidence of just how bad the over the horizon strike capability is for for a, for the united states. the, the fact that it took this long look, the u. s. never wants to admit that it made an error, especially the u. s. military, so you know, there, there had to be an investigation. they had to make sure that there was no chance that this could have been a nice his target and, and once the facts came out, given the publicity that this so this case has the military really had no choice but to admit that it had made a mistake and carol mchenry has offered acquired

a sincere apology for the incident. what do you think the likelihood that reparation will actually be made to the families given the complex situation on the grounds? and do you think the us will be held accountable? why no, i, i strong suspected the u. s. will make every effort to, to make some sort of reparations. there are been used in which we can use to contact l. a bond. and you know, there is an indication that we will try to put a, a price to a life and there's 10 lives have been lost. i don't know what price that is. no price should be acceptable. the real accountability, however, if you simply pay off, yes, you say okay, we made a mistake here. we'll throw money at it. it goes away, nothing goes away. i mean, 10 people are dead and no one will be held to account. we need to take a long, hard look at the process. he's involved in authorizing the strike and giving permission to release this missile. who made that decision based upon what

intelligence? and again, if you sweep this under the rug, if no one shall do account if nobody's hired or charged with criminal activity because this leave me so is criminal negligence on the part of somebody. somebody made a decision to fire that missile with insufficient information. and 10 innocent people died. and if this goes away, we throw money, a dead people. and if we allow the military to walk away without any repercussions, it will happen again. so do you think that somebody will be held accountable then? no, absolutely not. not in the united states, d n a to hold its military to account for mistakes made of this nature understand that the ultimately the person that must be held accountable is the president. the president joe biden said we will do anything to strike those who kill 13 american service members in the, in the, in the suicide bomb attack, be pretty much, gave a green light to the military to, to, to,

to want to missile it as an act of revenge, and so what would normally be seen as checks and balances, where people with wiser heads would look at the data and say, this is insufficient for breaking and said all that was pushed aside because the president said he wanted revenge. and he got an act to revenge as a result in some people died. so any chance to stop mistakes like that one being made in the future? the only way this can happen is if we put on the shelf is over the rise and strike capability. it doesn't work, it simply doesn't work. we have killed thousands of innocent civilians using this capability. it's all based on guesswork every once while we get lucky and, and kill a bad guy. but, you know, we're the united states of america. and if, if for secretary kirby's words or to mean anything, when he said we try harder than any military in the world to avoid civilian casualties. and the only way to ensure that we don't kill civilians using

a program that is own for killing civilians is permanent program. we don't need over there arising capability. it doesn't work in as a counterterrorism tool, to be honest, it makes more chairs and it kills by alienating entire populations. who say all the united states is doing is murdering innocence. arise. actually supposed to have been hung on a would be so side boma. this is a major intelligence filets and how could they have got, how could they go that so wrong? well, 1st of all, we have to take a look at the people making the intelligence call are these, you know, the top, the best analysts. we have, you know, clearly they're not these, these are poorly trained, airman, straight out of school, or sitting behind a console increase air force base in the bad or making a call long distance. this, that alone is, is a bad situation. and then you put on top of that the, the pressure from the press united states to,

to be seen as doing something to respond. that means that whatever filters would normally exist to, to say this isn't sufficient data, etc, are removed. so now we have a person who is not properly trained, looking at history and under great pressure from his commander in chief to be seen as striking somebody. he's looking at something that he doesn't understand or she doesn't understand and tries to make a decision that yes, this could be a threat. in result, we fire missile, we do a building, a car had nothing to do with isis. know this is a huge intelligence failure, but it's more than that. it's a policy failure and it's a moral failing. the united states should not be employed. weapons, ap hazard lee in a manner which ends up killing thousands of innocent civilians. remember these last 10 are just the final exclamation on a program. it is kill thousands of innocence the same way this happened with bad

intelligence. bad information and political pressure to be seen as doing some. also the pants again, sadly mistaken trying was not a bond omen for future tags. do you agree? no, it's a horrible omen for future attacks over the horizon as no success record that any human who believes in the law of war. the rule of law and respects the lives of innocent civilians whenever embrace is horribly flawed. program is flawed from its very inception and to sit there and say, oh no, just forget about these 10 will do better next time with what same people the same level of training. same lack of insight, same lack of intelligence, was the same perception of being compelled to do something because of political pressure. no, the pentagon's wrong on this one. this is a horrible weapon system, a horrible platform and a horrible methodology. and it has to be done away with. i got your point. let's

leave that for me. us marine co intelligence of called rita live. the tell us he thank you very much indeed. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. this is nancy international and on the way for you, we'll launch into our rational parliamentary election coverage. and the rate for those $450.00 seats in the stay do man that's coming up on a very short break. ah ah with me ah

ah, i use the western civilization and culture have been infected by a mindset the prizes ideology over confidence, virtue over reason and democracy is only a good idea if and when it's certainly lead interest. then there's the issue of competence, competence used to be rewarded. now incompetent is overlooked with serving ideology . the

welcome back tansy international and his are in depth coverage of the elections to the state. duma, which is russia's low house of parliament polling stations open these door. their doors rather yesterday, and onset to keep them open for another 2 days until sunday on his new harvey is here to explain. while international observers dropped in on polling stations across the country, despite the numbers being restricted because of coven, 250 members were present this year. they represent more than 50 different countries and 10 different international organizations. and one of the observers shared with is what they've seen from the medical security condition, but also like all the percentage to make the vote and transparent. energy to me, i really appreciate is there are so many measures and so many conditions.

personally, we don't have any italy. half all additions or electrons varies from country to country. how does the process work in russia? $450.00 and pace with $225.00 electoral districts chosen to the state duma for a 5 year term. half of them elected by majority voting based on one m. p per constituency. the remaining 225, made up my apologies, which have all the 5 percent representation in parliament. aside from those traditional polling stations, russian citizens are also able to cast their votes on line. moscow low, more than a 1000000 people have done just that on the 1st day of voting with worn out on how online voting works and how secure the system is, is nice to meet you. back. voting is an essential part of any self respecting democracy. but the way people are voting is changing. the old fashion valid in a box is steadily being replaced, or at least complemented by online voting and russia, electronic ballots have been around for,

for elections already. and the upcoming legislative vote center of the largest share of online voters of any russian election so far. the online system, however, is still relatively new, so it's only being rolled out in several regions. but some 2000000 people have already registered for the electronic vote, including an astronaut aboard the i assess and an arctic explore. but as with anything new, especially electronic issues of accessibility, a voter, security, safety, and reliability or a priority. so how exactly does the online voting system work? first of all, it's easy to use to register. all people need to do is go to their government service account, request access to the vote, enter and s m s confirmation code, and well that's it. on the day of the vote, they just go to the voting website, log in to the candidate and submit their ballot. the process can be done from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, no pulling station needed, just

a smartphone or a computer. for security the system as a whole lot more complicated upon voting, the ballot is encrypted, void of any information about the voter and sensor, distributed block chain network for storage and tally for one to vote closes while the vote is in the system. it is virtually impossible to alter since the vote exists on several nodes simultaneously, which automatically check between themselves to see that the data is consistent. if anything is altered on one node, it is automatically disregarded and information from the other identical nodes is used instead. finding out the result of the vote before the election ends is also impossible. the whole thing is protected by 2 keys, one open key, encrypt all the balance, and the other, which can decipher them, is split into segments that are distributed among the participants of the electoral process. when voting ends and these fragments are combined, the system decrypts, the balance then gives a final result of devote individual votes at this point cannot be decrypted. so it

is impossible to track how each individual voted with each successful election more and more russians are choosing to vote from the comfort of their mobile devices. and pro knows if the system proved safe anonymous. and most importantly, reliable, it could become the primary voting method of choice. in the very near future that's election day. the online voting system is up and running and the servers are ready to accept all the encrypted balance. so let's look don't blank, this should be really fast. so that's all there is to it. now the encrypted ballot is sent to the server where it will be stored safely until the polls close. and no one will be able to take

a peek at it because the only way to see what is actually on that ballad is to decrypt it. and to do that, you need the special key. and the decipher key has already been split into 8 pieces and handed out to the participants of the election process. sort of like horror crux as in harry potter. so now let's, let's to do is wait until monday when the voting is finished and the 8 pieces of the key are reassembled to finally reveal the final result of the vote. there were reports of some technical glitches on day one, putting the online voting system briefly out of action. officials blamed hank attack and since open to the investigation. these attacks were planned and organized, which shows an intention to prevent services from working normally in attempt to block the work of electronic voting systems. there were a number of so called the dos attacks when computers received a huge amount of requests all at once in an attempt to overload and crush the system. first, thrushes, communications ministry reported to such attacks with half requests from the united

states and a quarter from germany. at the end of the day, moscow's election authorities reported more than a 100 attacks against us systems. thus, all from us here at ortiz election headquarters this, our team will be here. they can use around those 3 days of voting. and of course, bring it as all important results on monday morning for now. so i'll return the, the we all going to wrap it up for our election headquarters here for this out days coming your way in just 30 minutes to see if the me

ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah, the the sea food may be red or orange yellow, maybe we assume that they going to be on the sweet side of things. i received a rounder and soft and looking they soon again,

are they going to be sweeter in some way? i have often said transparency for the powerful pharmacy, for the last bit cares about privacy. what people care about is power. julian, a son just become a symbol of the battles of barissi 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 the democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what to do. watch houses help shift the conversation around transparency and 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 survive

financial advisor. i don't buy a guy, mama, teachers, that's not an almost friday. that's the last time i buy it from the future. so price wise, kaiser reporting you know, you mean many people in life works on and then you meet the goals of the world, julio, like one of the few people to come out of the cosmic wave ride of childhood, start that big and be a solid citizen. with his own daughter now and his own happy life, he continues where he's got a great podcast now, and we'll talk all things. julio white right after this. done his really plus one the.
