the the the i project outcome defense again admitted drug striking carnival last month. that meant of target terrorists only claimed innocent lives to billions, including up to 7 children were tragically killed in that strike. we now it says that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died or associated with isis or a director at the us forces that mission kind of 3 weeks after that settling trying to trying which were supposed to take out. and i says k. so signed form us lation before where i'm with speak to the father of those some of the eviction that's part of our special projects on the voices elementary elections on the

way with coming to and then in the west. just as the 2nd day is about to start in the fall. i this is the new the scenes national is me you lasha. paula, thanks for joining us. they panted in has admitted and trying to strike and i've got to start a band of august was a tragic mistake that killed 10 civilians including 7 children. washington had previously claimed this trial had been necessary to prevent an attack on american troops. us officials reported let's say no disciplinary action regarding the dead laptop is expected as they stand by the intelligence that led to this trial. they did say, however, the lessons will believe from this tragic accident. as the secretary says, in this 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, their pants again have an hour that they are considering reparations for those who lost family members. i think that it will depend on the ability to reach out to people in the ground. military officials also stress. however, despite the deadly mistake is to and 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, 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, then there was a lot of tension and ca bullet 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 how 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 odds and the state department to what they had found. what the findings about this attack was, what we had today is that the pentagon claim stood surveil this vehicle watched it for a number of hours before this attack. they claim that the vehicle visited a comp out 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

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 cars as reported by their families at the time. nevertheless, the pet god says the, the intelligence was solid and they had no choice. but to go on with this strike. now they say this, 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 assume that 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 they will investigate further this particular job. so i can try to learn each

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 a sub 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 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 with the said with, with the congress that hasn't been anyone who's reside will be slide for 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 that went along with it. after the so called defense of as try can cobble report soon emerged that

a number of members of an african family have perished in that time. they had gathered for a celebration of their home in the capital in an instant they walk. it took the lives of 10 children, including pensive millions, rather including 7 children, the youngest victims or 2 girls who are both only 2 years old. and we spoke to their fathers as part of our special project. and her voice has so i thought 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, and 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 lead her 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 just and smoke like it was a terrible scene. my wife was shutting out her high school was on fire. ah, there were parts of children's bodies, it was so bloody increased and i went into my home on fun, my brother and a nephew. they were critically injured but still alive and breathing. they later died in the 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 bush, my a 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 family. catastrophe. ringback ringback ah, the president has made clear commanders that they should stop and nothing to make isis pay for the death of those american service members at the cobble airport. isis k. lived in this house, in this house with these children,

members of isis. stupid thoughts without any proof, without any investigation, they attacked and killed our children, and we will never forgive them. ah, our entire families in short, it's being 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 home and now live in my sister's place, so painful to visit it. because we could see your children dying there. the people accusing us of having contact with islam. mac stated the americans who colemander family seeing we've been preparing an attack on them, they're complete and utter lawyers. ah

. ringback after the incident, no authority came here to investigate. nobody asked us what happened to your new one help. no one came here to morally support us. busy this is not a mistake of america, this is a crime. we've lost her children. the count returned to us with mister owners should be restored by a fir 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 the united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taking

the americans have left us get this done. they came because of their own goals and humiliated in my country. america is not achieved. anything else going on? america has failed in afghanistan, and in his made people miserable. oh, and pentagon spokesman duncan, they also said the trunk was taken to prevent close an imminent attack on 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. and let's go live now to be african john list a below asari below. thank you very much indeed for joining us. very nice to have you on the program. talking about this admission hasn't come as a surprise to you because there's been growing speculation about the strike in the

press. could be you as a source is no longer hide from the truth and why did it take them so long to admit it? while it is an embarrassment to say the least, but it is also a tragedy for the one family who lost 10 members, especially one of them who had been hoping to live up on a son. we have to put this in the context of the evacuation and 11th our, the fact that the americans were taking such desperate measures carrying over the horizon draw strikes and cobbler city outside of the how many cars the international airport. the question now is, who really provided them with the intelligence? and in the past, you know, when the americans would carry such strikes, they would usually have a target or on the brand. so it doesn't really, you know, bring in the question of how effective these over the horizon strikes could be the way they were over sold. but it is the tragedy of the last 20 years. you know,

how is drawn strikes and strikes of really is tried entire families including younger generation of ones and what is slightly you know, offensive and all the comments. no one is really saying, sorry for the family. no one is talking about, you're not offering any sort of compensation, not that it will really bring back any of those people killed. but at least in a society in a country like a water bottle, where people are extremely poor. that would have been a good world gesture. so it, it is also interesting why dan osmond is taking place after 10 days, one day american pressed and the international media extensively reported about this and they brought into light, you know, the victims who are really civilians. right. he mentioned, and general mackenzie has also offered a quote,

sincere apology for the incident. what do you think the likelihood that reparations or compensation will actually be made to the families giving the complex situation on the ground? and do you think the us will be held accountable while they lived there, as god, no presidents on the ground. so i wonder how they might be able to do that. but you know, this is, you know, something that is a clear, you know, massacre of once a 1000000 so it will have to be seen. and there will be a thorough investigation and those responsible who might be brought into, you know, justice. but we also know that around that time, after the deadly suicide attacks outside of the airport. and there was a similar draws fried, carried out in the eastern city of july. and not the time people in that area said that was really the americans of that extra labor. and the americans insisted, no,

we have killed the members of the law mac states. so it will have to be now seen how in the future the americans could successfully target islamic stage, you know, or any other thread might emerge from a lot of specially when you talk about a high, then foreign fighters in what sort of a relationship the americans might have what some members, if not members of it's all about in terms of counterterrorism relationship. so it really, you know, is a very, very complex, you know, situation for the american specially after 20 years of investing in blood and treasure and spending all the money. the end result is an epic failure. how is that possible to stop mistakes like that one being made in the he tra well, we will have to exactly see if the americans will continue to target groups like the lamps. there are perhaps even elements of the thought of leadership who are on

if we wanted less than they are on the sanction list. if that is something that the americans might do. but if they decide that they need to basically eliminate such targets, how can they get the intelligence who will be helping them on the run? so air, air, power to me it looks will be futile from here on in the americans. it seems to me clearly have no leverage whatsoever, because if you look at the structure of the polymer leadership like the interior minister or the thought of our strategy and have connie, he's wanted by the, if he's, you know, someone who is really inflicted a lot of pain and misery on the americans as well as on the former government over the last 20 years and not to forget the generational ideological and historical relationship that connie family of had with that, but also their relationship to extend the intelligence in army. so we will have to see what sort of involvement that we might see in the months in years to come from

the americans. well, they just simply say actually thank you very much enough, is enough. we're not going to bother with anything any more enough. so you said that it was a major intelligence failure, right. it was supposed to have been a talk on a would be suicide boma. so how could that happened? good question. it is for the american style said that, but i would like to ask, you know, what was the justification of carrying such a deadly strike in a residential neighborhood. we have to really remember, this is where the ordinate ones are living in to be honest with you in many ways, i think after 20 years of being an honest time with having such an extensive presence and having such an extensive network for the american army, the pentagon as well as for the central intelligence agency. this was a massive embarrassment, especially when the american officials were very adamant saying that they had

killed the members of this nomic state. that they had eliminated that. right. and then we saw everyone from the press including correspond from russia today. they were able to basically go and talk to people. but we will have to really see what that investigation might mean, what sort of an outcome we are talking about and what might happen to the relatives of the family that literally got wiped out. and we have to really remember, this was the family, wanted to leave the country and all they wanted to start a better future, but instead they were massacred inside their own living rooms. the pentagon said this trying would not necessarily reflect the outcome of future strikes. do you agree with and i can't really predict or make any predictions, but as i said, we will have to see what sort of threats may or may not emerge from of understand.

we do know that people who are close to some belie than his security to, for example, did return back to eastern time even with more protection. and it is hardly a secret anymore that there are certain members of the taliban regime and government officials who have a very close relationship not only with that but with other national hardy groups. i mean, i would also say, what can the americans do from here on, you know, they basically left, they were us by the former one government and many of the allies that the should maintain around 2500 horses to make sure that the one step which is no more here, would not crumble in to make sure that there would be no more threat from a lot of stand do us interest in the region into us national security. but president biden, as made it abundantly clear that he does not care about one, is done any more. it doesn't see of understand of the thread. perhaps, you know, members of his own, you know, government and intelligence and army,

and others who worked on it would disagree with him because see it 5 different then the u. s. president, i for african janice below. laurie below. thank you very much indeed for your time . we appreciate that. thanks for your insight. this is also international and coming up shortly, we'll launch into a special russian parliamentary election coverage. and the rates for the 450 seats in the state data that's coming up next after a very short break. ah seafood, that may be red or orange yellow. maybe we assume that they going to be on the sweet side of things. i received a rounder soft and the can be assume again,

that they're going to be sweeter in some way. i i use me join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business, i'll see you then in the

welcome back sounds haines. financial and our in depth coverage of the election to the state duma. russia's lar house of parliament polling stations open their doors yesterday and also to keep them open for another 2 days until sunday. on seas new harvey explains that 4th, 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 thing from the medical security condition, but also like to pursue i do so to make the vote and transparent energy to me,

i really appreciate is there are so many measures and so many conditions that personally we don't have any italy. how petitions are elected varies from country 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 have all the 5 percent representation and part of, aside from those traditional polling stations, russian citizens are also able to cast their votes on line moscow more than a 1000000 people have done just fat on the 1st voting with worn out on how online voting works and how secure the system is, is nice to meet you. bank 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 and

russia. electronic ballads have been around for, for elections already. and the upcoming legislative vote instead 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 in arctic explore. but as with anything new, especially electronic issues of accessible 3 voters, security, safety, and reliability are 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 to access to the vote, enter an estimate 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 is a lot more complicated. upon voting, the ballot is encrypted, void of any information about the voter and send. so distributed block chain network for storage and sally for one to vote closes while the vote is in the system. it is virtually impossible for 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 and 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 selection 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, 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. political analyst of the, in a, me internet media project. dmitri babich took me through the importance of this particular election on the west, stands on 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 vaughan over the fact us. so already in law school and the in some other city is a lot of people voted via electronic devices and participation. so you will be

done in 2016 when we had the last election. presidential elections coming up on us a different matter altogether 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 that traditionally, duly elections for like a rehearsal for the presidential election? russia definitely, we're going to see new faces. the question is, i would like to see new part if and how well the rush is going to do already. if people are getting more interested in politics, i mean, i read the western press that the selection is so. so an interesting but then a 100. so like it was about it in the western media in russian media, new name, some mentioned some call 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 why writing about young people? or there are interesting people interesting cases that how can they seduction be

though, for me it's not about what action. so who's definitely taking an interest in this election is the part 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 move to, 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 want their people to wind. their main candidate only is not trying. so they registered is bunk. you know, either we get area of allusion in russia or we're not interested, and that's the wrong attitude. first is about for russia because we need rachel change. we don't need revisions. second, it's bad for the west because it antagonizes russia and also it tries to achieve result it cannot achieve. there won't be a renewal in russia. this issue now about the nevada. the app is some people have called it dismissal, tactical voting up,

which google and apple have allowed access to, which is forbidden. that does 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 new vice that would allow vote us in the united states to find out how russia would like them to vote. that will be a huge scandal. you know, we all remember russian gauge 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 conclusion. but we have evidence of western total support from the radical position in russia. you're just have to reason.
