the the the, the, the the, i am now convinced that as many as 2 civilians, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed in that's right. it was a mistake. and i offer my sincere apology. the us admit that drones try and use cobbled last month right before the military pull out and killed 10 civilians including 7 children. now it took 3 weeks for washington to acknowledge what now called a horrible mistake. after initially planning a terrorist had been hit, we speak to the relatives of victims at our special project called unheard voice. this is not a mistake of america, this is a crime. 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. i'd rather follow me through election enters date to holding stations, and i'll open across most of the country in a 3 day. ah, very good morning to you from all of us here at archie international. it's a cool, sunny morning here on the russian capital. so straight into your saturday stories for now, i'm real research the united states has acknowledged that last month's drones strike. and i've got us on killed 10 civilians including 7 kid and not a single terrorist. i. washington had initially claim the strike was necessary to prevent an attack on cobble airport in the final days before the military withdrawal. 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 isis k or were a director at to us forces. there was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. and here you can see the aftermath of that strike and a residential area of cobbled 3 kilometers from the airport. now, there was a secondary blast, which is now believed to be caused by a propane tank in the driveway. and the us military have so far declined to say whether or not they will be any disciplinary action. oh oh oh. busy the me

all right, let's cross block now to senior correspondent, motor gas b, as in kabul motor, the very good morning to you, but if a delay in a transmission is going to take a few seconds for you to hear this, but it turns out this is all horrific miscalculation by the u. s. military with this drone strike has been any international reaction so far. while there's been a lot, there's been, there was reaction in the immediate aftermath. just a few days after this drone track, it had been evident to many and many people, but something had gone terribly wrong with this strike. this was weeks ago, weeks ago because people saw the machine in the immediate aftermath of the explosion. if police had been a car, bob laden with explosives, that many people speculate that the explosion, the devastation would have been much greater. it was. and we also saw that the

pictures of a grid, 3 images of the kids, 7 of them killed during the strike. now the united states maintained that the intelligence behind most was solid. they claim that they track this vehicle from a presumed isis compound, isis, k. compound, near capital, all the way to this residential district. just 3 kilometers away from capital international airport. where, of course, at the time of frantic evacuation was due on the way very frantic and with people's nerves frayed because everybody back when feared that there would be another terror attack. and the united states says that they surveilled this vehicle as it arrived in this residential neighborhood. they allegedly allegedly, according to witnesses, must have seen all the kids around the car as well as the, the owner of the man they believe, to be

a nice suspect. carrying containers which turned out to be empty water containers to and from his car and what we had heard and up until now is a lot of mumbling and diversion on behalf of the state department. the pentagon, us grilled by senators and congressmen alike about this as striking about the overwhelming evidence that it had gone again terribly wrong. make no mistake. no military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taken 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.

what is highly unusual about the submission is that it came so fast because the united states is well known for dragging these things as in, in iraq, in the syria. we have seen incidents of as shrikes, allegedly going wrong, but then the united states taking a year perhaps longer if a tool to admit to an air strike cause in collateral damage killing civilians. usually their investigations are a very drags out, and there is at the end of it, no disciplinary measures take it and we have heard here as well. but the intelligence they believe was solid, that there were no holds of the chain of command to the orders being passed to and fro, to and fro. so presumably they must have seen the kids playing around the cup because at the time we, we saw ad heard the incessant noise of, of drones across patrolling over the skies in the skies over capital in the

vicinity of the airport trying to ensure security. they must have been watching this car and they must be, they must have known that the, all these kids were around this guy. and they took that they made the decision to carry on with a stroke strike. now, what is the reason that the human rights agencies, for example, believe the recent mission came through quickly, is because of the huge, both political and public pressure on the united states to admit to it. it should be noted that the us military was only forced to admit sweets failure in the strike because of the current global scrutiny on afghanistan. many similar strikes in syria, iraq and somalia have happened out of the spotlights, and the u. s. continues to no responsibility while devastate to families suffer in silence while they have said that, they're sorry, they have also offered compensation to the families of the victims. presumably the

family because all 10 the civilians killed in their stone track were part of one family. but we have also heard from the united states that these stripes will go on . they will try to learn the lessons, to quote them of this terrible tragedy. but they also said, please don't take this as, as a, as a sign of a diminished ability to strike it isis targets. enough guy to stop. we've also heard joe biden saying that they will forget and that they will punish those responsible for the terror attack on capital airport in the 26th of august, just days before this latest drone track where 13 american troops were killed. but again, this is unlikely to sort of down the flames of political criticism aimed at the biden administration and the state department for what many she has a fiasco as

a humiliating and key author, k arctic and to american presence. and i've got to start off the 20 years of war. i know what i guess they have live in cobble. thank you. now the youngest victims of this august 29th strike and cobble with 2 girls, both aged to the man who was targeted, turned out to be an aide worker. us forces apparently what he was loading bombs into a truck. but those turn out to be water bottles. his brother was among the grieving family members who shared their stories with us. it's all special project cold, unheard voices saw the sandals, belong to melinda. 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 air strike 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, 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. i just crossed the road and i heard an explosion. my daughter later to me that she saw a smaller craft, a drone, moving around in a circle which then fired and miss tiled about hitch or home. i turned to look, there was dust and smoke lightning. it was a terrible scene. my wife was shutting her high. she 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 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 life. another relative was also here, a guest. she was killed to oh, i as bush my a loves, cosmetic. she likes painting her nails for 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 was the catastrophe. ringback ringback ah, the president has made clear to commanders that they should stop and nothing to

make isis pay for the death of those american service members at the cobble airport . they say, isis k lived in this house in this house were these children members of ice is a stupid thought without any proof, without any investigation, they attacked us and killed our children, and we will never forgive them. ah, our entire families in shock, its being so painful for us mentally. we are not in a stable condition. 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 islam, mac state, the americans who bombed our family,

saying we'd been preparing an attack on them. their complete and utter liars, ah . ringback after the incident, no authority came here to investigate. nobody asked us what happened here? no one help. 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. so what mister owner should be restored by us for investigation into the incident. we all see international community to investigate this incident. ah,

i'm happy to. the americans have left afghanistan. they came because of their own goals and humiliated my country. america is not achieved anything in afghanistan, america has failed in afghanistan, and in his made people miserable. now, just a few days ago, pentagon spokesman john covey was maintaining the line that the drone strike was a vital counted tara measure. 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 before a pentagon security on the list on x intelligence officer gave us our views on the us apology. in the deep underlying problems that reveal it is a little unusual for them to admit to a mistake. and yet they used to be bombings all the time in syria and northern iraq . they hardly ever admitted to it. the kind of gun really had no choice but to look

into it. so the general takes responsibility and they're going to offer compensation that doesn't bring back the lives of these, of these children and the adults who are killed and clearly shows that this over the horizon approach is inadequate. those levels of intelligence are going to have to be re examined the whole idea by the united states of regime change and and nation building has got to stop. the u. s. never wants to admit that it made an error, especially the u. s. military given the publicity that this this case has the military really had no choice but to admit. and it had made a mistake. if you simply pay off, you say ok, 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 child to a child, if nobody's fired or charged with criminal activity. and if this goes way, if we throw money a dead people. and if we allow the military to walk away without any repercussions, it will happen again. authorities and southern texas have banned drones from flying near the border. after dramatic footage showed thousands of migrants crowded under a bridge. authority said the move was down to security reasons. can often has the administration has been focusing on all the lack of catching over the afghan pull out. but meanwhile, things that the us mexico border are getting worse. shocking footage now shows more than $10000.00 migrants packed under a single bridge in texas. me . ah,

ah, 10503 illegal aliens or under this bridge tonight, because joe biden made a political decision to cancel deportation flight to haiti. the border patrol is over capacity. it's indefensible. it's inhuman and it was entirely caused by biden and harris hash tag biden. border crisis. so we now have the federal aviation administration saying that no drones may fly over the area. they say it's about security concerns, but media says it's about restricting their ability to show the world what's actually happening. after exposing the massive explosion in illegal border crossings in the last 24 hours with their overhead drone, the federal aviation administration steps into ban fox news from flying widens the

white house has been called out before for restricting the media is access to migrant facilities. concerns about the inflow have been rising ever since he took office. now the texas governor has called out by saying that he won't allow his state to be overrun and that the president is doing nothing as things get worse. it is the federal government's job to secure our border, but the bottom ministration has failed to do his job. this government has not forgotten about the migrants, but they hope that the public as forgotten, the government is up to something. everything it's happening on the border happens for a reason, and they never explain to us what that reason is. and i'll tell you very briefly. it's so they can bring in lots and lots of people from foreign countries, turn them into american citizens, make them into democratic party voters, and then in the future, never lose another national election. that's what this order is about. is

infringing democrats in permanent power, and that's why they don't explain it. and that's why they're willing to let people go along thinking it's some kind of failure or fiasco or incompetence. but it's not . i failed to see how national security could be impinged by a national television network showing pictures from a great distance of thousands of illegal immigrants across the border in texas. there is no national security concern for it, but there is certainly a security concern for the bio ministrations political future. because the more american people see that picture, the more appall they're going to get, the more they're going through demand changes in the policy at the border. this is political security, not national security. many people across america are looking at the migrant in flown, looking at the pact facilities and looking with outrage at the white house as it appears. they are doing nothing about it. well, accept telling people not to film it. that is caleb martin, r t new york. we'll just turn in 20 minutes past the hour. here are the russian

capital. it is day 2 of russia's parliamentary elections. upholding stations are now open throughout the country, except however, the western most pot calendar grad, which is an hour behind moscow. throughout the 3 days of voting go. we are continuing our special coverage. 90 the now a total of 14 parties are running for seats in the state duma. and throughout the week we've been reviewing each and every one and exactly what they stanfull. so let's not take a glimpse that a couple of the contenders. first off, we have a just russia patriots. for truth of the long title comes after a just russia most with 2 smaller factions, the less leading faction, 16.2 percent to the last election in 2016. and hollywood star stevens to go now has

russian citizenship and has become a high profile party member. then there is a party of growth as seen as a right wing liberal movement promoting the free market. wants to see can make reforms and tax cuts for the working class. the party also wants parliament to have greater control over the executive branch and picked up a little under 2 percent of the vote in the last election. when this hum around russia has invited election observers from dozens of countries who are visiting polling stations all across russia's 11 times owns new harvey now has more on that in our in depth coverage of the 2021 state duma election pull 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 think. the medical security condition,

but also like to pursue the research to make the votes 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 and pace with 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, 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 fat on the 1st voting with worn out on how online voting works and how secure the system is. these are things to meet the 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 and russia. electronic ballots 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 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 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 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 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. political analyst at the, in the 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 pandemic was the decision factor, but it was gone over the fact us to already in law school and in some other fetus.

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 and that's 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. busy in russia, building up to that electricity traditionally and duly elections for waco rehearsal for the presidential election in russia. definitely, we're going to see new phases. the question is i would like to see new part if and how well brush 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 like most about it in the west and 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 why right can about young people or there are interesting people, interesting kind of them. how can they seduction video for me? it's not an action. so he's definitely taking an interest in this election is the bottom and actively threatened to not recognize the result of the election if it's a big if they find evidence of 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 want, they are people to wind. their main candidate only is not trying. so they registered is bank. you know, either we get every of illusion in russia or we're not interested. and that's the nature of the 1st battle. russia, because we need gradual change. we don't need religions. second, it's bad for the west because it antagonizes russia and also it tries to achieve

result it cannot achieve that won't be renewed and russia this issue now about the nevada. the app is 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 have been 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 confusion. but we have evidence of

western total support from the radical position in russia. you're just have to reason newspapers in the west lot in russia, the ah, ah ah, the news boom bus the one business show you can't afford to mit bridge the board. and i'm rachel. lemons in washington coming up the popular encrypted message.
