this is in the, in the, in the a project outcome, the bank again, and mrs. drones from, i can call last month that was meant to target terrorists only claimed innocent lines with officials not offering that comparison to the families of those who died . as the secretary says, in this statement, we apologize and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake as mister car 3 weeks after the deadly trans try, which were supposed to take count. and i says, cases find boma late in the program with speak to the father or some of the victim, the panama, a special project on had voices and russia. commentary

election is underway with funds damn thing coming to them in the west just as the 2nd day is about to start and the far east. ah . you're watching the news on our international with me. you have all of our hello and welcome to the car graham. the pentagon has admitted drones, trunk, and have gone astounded the end of august for the tragic mistake that co 10 civilians including 7 children. washington had previously claim to try and have been necessary to prevent an attack on american troops. us officials say no disciplinary action regarding the deadly talk is expected, and they stand by the intelligence that lead to strike. they do say, however, that lessons wilbur learned from this tragic accident. as the secretary says,

in the statement we, we apologize and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake. and to that end, he has directed a thorough review of the investigation just completed by us central command. meanwhile, the panther going has announced that they all can say true reparation for those who lost family members. i think that it will depend on the ability to reach out to people on the ground. ministry officials also trans. however, the, despite the deadly mistake is to any control conclusions. i don't think you should draw any conclusions about our ability to strike enough can ascend against isis. j target's in the future based on this particular strike. confirmation from the pentagon that its last strike of the 20 year afghan war was indeed edward the 10 civilians. the 10 civilians perished in this in this attack. and that the united states says it is, it is sorry that perhaps it'll 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 then 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 30 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 refuse to odds and the state department to what they had found. what the findings about this attack was, what we heard today is the, the pentagon claims the surveil. 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 of got us done and that had returned to an area 3

kilometers away from a couple airport where the evacuation was underway. and that is when they decided to pull the trigger to go forward with this drone truck. and they must have seen the numerous children playing around in the car as reported by their families at the time. nevertheless, the pentagon 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 assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with us is take, or were a director at to us forces. that was a mistake. and i offer my sincere apology. the pentagon says there will be no disciplinary measures going going into the future, but they will investigate further this particular job. so i can try to learn

a lesson. they say they will be more careful with the 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 stop they, they, they made that point. nevertheless, there is, there is still, you know, the, the fact that not a lot of accountability has been offered by the pentagon and is an issue that has the rod republicans as well as critics in the united states to say that while, you know, we have heard we have had all these hearings that the senate with the, with the congress that hasn't been anyone who's reside will be fired for, but many americans, he is a fiasco at 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 which went along with it. also the so

called defense of as striking cargo resorts luna mashed at a number of members of an african family, had perished in that time. they had gathered for a celebration about home and the capital in an instant the work it took, the lives of 10 civilians, including 7 children. the youngest victims were 2 girls who are both only 2 years old, was close to their father's this part of our special project and heard voices saw i to 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 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 and i just crossed the road and i heard an explosion. my daughter later to me that she saw a small aircraft. i drove moving around in a circle which then fired a missile about his or home and i turned to look, there was distant smoke lightning. it was a terrible scene. my wife was shutting her high, was on fire. ah, there were parts of the children's bodies. it was so bloody increase and i went into my home phone, my brother and a nephew. they were critically injured, but still alive and breathing. they later died in hospital. my brother and 9 others

were killed in this horrific attack. my brother's daughter, who was student to get married, also lost her lives. another relative was also here, a guest. she was killed to, oh, i was maya loves cosmetic. 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 our family. 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 attacked us and killed our children, and we will never forgive. ah, our entire families. in short, 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 our devastated homes 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 this law mc 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 her children. the count returned to us. mister owners should be restored by us for investigation into the incident. we all see 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 taken

i think that the americans have left us get this done. they came because of their own goal and humiliated my country. america is not achieved. anything else going on? america has failed in afghanistan, and it has made our people miserable. oh, and there live pentagon spokesman john kirby said the strike was taken to prevent, quote, an imminent attack on campbell 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. i'm alive now to what can founder and director of nurses. and we're just think time foundation focusing on the middle east. mr. walker. thank you very much indeed for joining us right now. could the us a source, he's no longer hide from the truth now that had been growing speculation about the

strike and the press. well, good evening. yes, i think well, the american forces have killed civilians since the start of the war 20 years ago, sometimes excessively. what isn't you this time around is that there was an investigation and an apology. i think this is mainly 22 elements. first of all, this happened was the whole world was watching. so you had everybody's eyes fixed on a friend to stand on capital and capital airport in specific. and the, the u. s. president himself hailed the operation and vowed to continue and told ice i s k members that you know, we're not done with you yet. and the 2nd element probably over one might argue, is the united states government, future relationship on aspired future relationship with the taliban. and probably

these 2 elements, you know, caused some investigation and eventually and apology. but we know that there have been a lot of bloodshed with civilians previously. and this actually east italy, bonds control over the sun specially campbell, why did take them so long term committed then? i think they were just trying to, to review all the evidence that they had and make sure that you know, they didn't take amy, non necessary. how do you say, well, they didn't make a mistake, they wanted accountability as well. they want to lay blame to somebody. we don't know what the accountability is going to look like on this particular incident. probably nothing will happen, but at least they wanted to make sure probably they were digging or sifting through the evidence just to justify this particular attack. in, in all fairness,

there was a lot of tension at the time. and everybody was expecting a 2nd attack on the us president himself and probably raised the possibility at the time. so you, you could argue that the commanders didn't have the luxury of waiting and whatever . but then they needed some time to come out and say, because all the evidence showed on the ground that there was a family killed and children killed. and, you know, people who are not necessarily, or you know, on the face of it related to i s, or there was an attack or whatever, being planned. they wanted just probably to sift through all the evidence and make sure it probably in the hope to find some evidence linking somebody to something. but they couldn't write as far as we know, it was supposed to have been a talk on

a would be so assigned boma. this is a major intelligence failure, isn't it? how could they? they've got it so wrong then it could happen. i mean mistakes, mistakes can happen, but what is concerning in this whole episode. i know that this last incident is taking so much of the public attention around the world. but actually if we go back to what has happened through the past 20 years, as early as to say 2007 british officers and commanders on the ground in the hellman province were arguing that there were already too many civilians being killed. and they even lobbied for the us special forces to be removed from him and province because they were trigger happy because there were so many aerial attacks or dependency over dependency on area attacks, which would cause

a lot of collateral damage and civilian casualties. and that this was against the target of winning the hearts and minds of the funny people. and so this was like 1415 years ago. and you could argue that this entire time, this whole 15 years, we didn't hear of any investigations. we didn't hear of any accountability as to why this was happening and who is responsible for this and how to correct what was going on. now we are hearing something like, there were lessons, there are lessons to be drawn from this and we going to change the way we collect information. and that to this incident, or probably mistake happened because the united states didn't have eyes and ears on the ground. but at the time they did, and again, i need to reiterate the point. it was probably this element, not necessarily a loan, but at least it definitely contributed to the people have gone to spawn. looking at

the taliban as liberators. which is the only reason why the tiny bond would explain why the tiny bond swept in the entire country. and, you know, it took to control over the entire country with such ease. general mackenzie has offered a quote, it's been apology for the incident. what do you think the likelihood that reparations will actually be made to the families given the complex situation on the ground? i mean, it could be that this would happen. i'm, i'm guessing that the united states have thought this through. they would make false promises. i'm sure that almost sure you can never be sure actually, but i'm almost sure that a decision has been made for some concert and compensation or some, you know, formal and, you know, procedure for the family of the bereaved. yeah,

but again, we're talking about this very special incident again that happened that was everybody's eyes and gazes were fixed on the scene and united states you could argue got away with a lot. and that happened before that i see mr. walker, founder and director of back know, says a british thing, tongue focusing on the middle east, mr. walker. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you very much. thank you for having this is nancy international and coming up next that we're will launch into our russian elementary election coverage. and the raise for be $456.00 in the state. damon that's coming out shall break the

western civilization and culture have been infected by a mind, prizes, ideology over competent virtue over reason. and democracy is only a good idea if and when it's sort of a lead interest. then there's the issue of competence, competence used to be rewarded. now incompetent is overlooked when serving ideology, seafood, that maybe red orange was yellow. maybe we assume that they going to be on the sweet side of things and received a rounder soft. and they can assume again, that they're going to be sweeter in some way. hey, you know, we've moved on from just praising lots of money and incurring lots of dad for dom reasons, to printing lots of money and incurring lots of debt for extraordinarily dom reason .

the the news the welcome box on scene to national and we're continue our in depth coverage or their elections to the state. duma, which is russia's law house of parliament piling stations, opened the door yesterday and said to keep them open for another 2 days until sunday on seas. new harvey said, explain. full 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 shed with is what they'd seen from the medical security condition, but also like all the per say, i do so to make the vote transparent. energy to me, i really appreciate is there are so many measures in so many conditions that personally we don't have any italy helpful additions or elected the various countries to country. how does the process work in russia? 450 and pace when 225 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 $225.00, made up my apologies, which has more than 5 percent representation. and part of, aside from those traditional polling stations, russian citizens are also able to cast their votes on live moscow. 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. pac voting is an essential part of any self respecting

democracy. but the way people are voting is changing. the old fashioned ballot in a box is steadily being replaced, or at least complemented by online voting. in russia, electronic ballads have been around for, for elections already, and the upcoming legislative vote cetera. 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 in arctic explore. but as with anything new, especially electronic issues of accessible already, 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, answered 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 send to a 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 ballots. 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 who knows if the system proves 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 the ballot 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 look 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. political analyst of the, in a, me internet media project. dmitri babich totally through the importance of this particular election on the west, stands on it. a lot of voters already decided to do it electronically. i'm not sure

that the pen gaming was the decision factor, but it was gone over the fact us already in law school and in some other fetus. a lot of people voted via electronic devices and participation. so you will be higher than in 2016 when we had the last election. presidential elections coming up on us a different matter altogether, but in 2024. 24. does this have any knock on effect depending on the result of this as to how things will, will go in russia building up to the other traditionally and duly elections for waco rehearsal for the presidential election in russia? definitely, we're going to see new faces. the big question is, i would like to see new part if and how well russian is going to do. all right, if people are getting more interested in politics, i mean, i read the western press that the selection is so dial, so an interesting but there are hundreds. so logic was about it in the western media in russian media, new name, some mentioned somehow,

and when i see these new names in their western media, i just don't know how these people can put their act together. it's not an interesting election. and then while writing about young people, or there are interesting people interesting cases. now how can they said there should be dope? for me, it's not an action. so he's definitely taking an interest in this election is the you in parliament. thankfully threatened to not recognize the result of the election if it's a big if they find evidence a fraud. it's an unusual moved to say, this is the punishment. we're not sure if there's been a crime yet. what do you make of that? well, they just one, they are people when they main candidate only is not running. so they registered is by bank. you know, either we get evolution in russia or we're not interested, and that's are all nature. first is about for russia because we need rachel change . we don't need a 2nd, it's bad for the west because it and tegan, isis, russia,

and also it tries to achieve result. it cannot achieve. there won't be a renewal and russia this issue now about the nevada and the app. as some people have called it this, this was tactical, voting up, which google and apple have allowed access to, which is forbidden that has not been resolved that, that issue. but some people are saying that that was interference. what is your feeling on that? but imagine if in the united states, russian companies had a device that would allow voters in the united states to find out how russia would like them to that will be a huge scandal. you know, we all remember russian gave was i think it was a fortune for american viewers for at least 2 and a half years until april, 2020. when basically mr. miller, mr. miller, acknowledge that there was no confusion. but we have evidence of

western total support from the radical position in russia. you're just have to read the newspapers in the west, not in russia. that's all from us here on his election headquarters this our team will be here a day to nice around those 3 days of voting. and of course you bring it as all important result on monday morning for now. so i'll return with updates, etc. at home with the the ah, working room or should she popped in? she said, well, i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas. and we, we said there was a good device to another,

shooting another safe part of american life. shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an a r 1570 automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act when we're filing on this issue. the other side wins by default, lady that lived over there, i was walking one of the dogs. why do you wear again, were you scared to switch it off and i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that i joined me every thursday on the alex salmon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me .
