in the 21st century, ah ah ah ah, i am now convinced that as many as since the incident, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed in that strike. it was a mistake. can i offer my sincere apology, but us admits its drones, striking, cobbled last month right before the industry pull out killed and 10 civilians, including 7 children, did take 3 weeks for washington to acknowledge what it now called a horrible mistake author initially claiming a terrorist had been targeted on the program, we speak to the relatives of the victims that our special projects calls unheard voices. and 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. and rough is solomon, her election enters day to all the stations and i'll open all across the country in the 3 day time. ah, could talk to 9 o'clock on saturday morning here at moscow. this is the international one of very warm welcome to the united states has acknowledged that last month. drones strike and i've gotten his daughter killed 10 civilians including 7 kids, not a single terrorist. washington had initially claimed the strike was necessary to prevent an attack on cobbled 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 ices take or were a direct rep to us forces. there was a mistake and i offer my sincere apology. are here, you can see the aftermath of that strike in a residential area of cobble about 3 kilometers from the airport. that was a secondary blast, which is now believe to have been caused by a propane tank in the driveway, or the u. s. military has so far declined to say whether there will be any disciplinary action or not. busy oh. busy busy the

senior correspondent morale gas d f is in cobble. he has the latest now on this. it had been evidence to many and many people that something had gone terribly wrong with this strike you to this is weeks ago, weeks ago because people saw the machine in the immediate aftermath of the explosion. if they had been a car, bob laden with explosives, that many people speculate that the exposure, the devastation would have been much greater. it was a we also saw that the pictures of great 3 images of the kids, 7 of them killed during the strike. now the united states maintain that the intelligence behind most was solid. they claim that they track this vehicle from a presumed isis compound, isis, k. compound, near campbell, 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 backed, 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 an ice suspect. carrying containers which turned out to be empty water containers to and from his car. and what we had heard up until now is a lot of mumbling and diversion on behalf of the state department, the pentagon os 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 is directed to 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 e for to, to admit to in their strike causing collateral damage killing civilians. usually their investigations are a very drags out, and there is at the end of it,

no disciplinary measures. and despite this incident, being a tremendous blunder, promote tactical perspective, as well as from a public relations perspective. the united states says the new disciplinary measures will be taken as of right now. now, what are the reasons that human rights agencies, for example, believe that the said mission came through quickly is because of the huge both political ad, public pressure on the united states to admit to it. it should be noted that the us military was only forced to admit its failure in the strike because of the current global scrutiny on afghanistan. many similar strikes in syria, iraq and somalia have happened to out of the spotlights, and the u. s. continues to not have responsibility while devastated families suffer in silence. while they have said that they're sorry, they have also offered compensation to the families of the victims or presumably the family. because all the civilians killed and they don't like what parts of one

family. but we have also heard from the united states that these stripes will go out and they will try to learn the lessons. 2 to quote them of this terrible tragedy, but they also said, please don't take this as, as a, as aside about diminish ability to strike it. isis. target's guidance on america's last drone strike of the afghan war came just days after the terrible terra capital for the last game which played the lives of 13 american troops as well as more than a 100 civilians. but again, this is odd likely to sort of doubt the flames of political criticism aimed at the by the ministration and the state department for what benny he has a fiasco is a humiliating and key author k arctic and to americans presence and have got to stop after 20 years of war,

the youngest victims of that august 29th strike and cobble were 2 girls, both aged 2 at the man who was target it turned out to be an aide worker. a u. s. forces apparently thought he was loading bombs into a truck, but there was actually turn out to be empty water bottles. his brother was among the grieving family members who share their stories with us. it's our special project called unheard voices saw the sandals belong to melinda. she was very close to me. i loved her so much. she always told me to buy ice cream 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 430 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 a missile about hitch or home. i turned to look that was destined, smoked. it was a terrible scene. my wife was shutting not her highest was on fire. ah, there were parts of children's bodies. it was so bloody increase and i went into my home and find 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 bush, maya, loves cosmetics. 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 a catastrophe. ringback ringback ah, the president is made clear to the commanders that they should stop at nothing to make isis pay for the deaths of those american service members at the cobbler airport. they say, isis k lived in this house in this house,

were these children members of ices, 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. 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 state, the americans who bombed our family, seeing 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 to your new 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 . busy 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. but just a few days ago, pentagon spokesman john kirby was maintaining the line that this drone strike was a vital counter terror 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 with a former pentagon security analyst and an ex intelligence officer, gave us the views on, on the situation, and also what they call 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, doesn't bring back the lives of these children and the adults who are killed and it

also showed they didn't have good intelligence. and it really throws into question the over the horizon concept that kind of gun says it now has and will continue to watch f can a stand for any potential terrorist attacks out of isis or, or al qaeda. it clearly shows that this over the horizon approach is inadequate. it makes more terrorist, it kills by alienating entire populations who say all the united states is doing is murdering innocence. we have a person who's not properly trained, looking at a screen under great pressure from his commander in chief to be seen as striking somebody. and 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. and then result, we fire missile will do a building. and a car had nothing to do with isis. 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 or just the final exclamation on a program is killed thousands of innocence the same way. this happened with bad intelligence. bad information and political pressure to be seen as doing something for possibly out here in moscow. authorities in southern texas have banned drones from flying near the border. it's off dramatic footage showed thousands of migrants crowded under a bridge. authority said the move was to well help with security issues. we'll learn more now without the correspondent caleb martin. the mind 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. 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

a legal border crossings in the last 24 hours with their overhead drone, the federal aviation administration steps into ban fox news from flying widens. 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 inspiration has failed to do its job. this government has not forgotten about the migrants, but they hope that the public has forgotten. the government is up to something. everything it's happening on the border happens for a reason, and they never explained 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 democrat party voters,

and then in the future, never lose another national election. that's what this border is about. is entrenching 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's 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 to 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. so that appears they are doing nothing about it. well, except telling people not to film it. that is caleb martin,

r t new york. well, it is day 2 of russia's parliamentary election and paulding stations are now open all across the country's vast 11 times or now throughout the 3 days of voting. we are continuing our special coverage. iran, nazi the that's. i'll give you some details here on the program. on this whole process, 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 what they stand for. so let's take a glimpse that a couple of the contenders for now. first off you have the liberal pro business. yeah. which means apple. it's been around for almost 3 decades, but its popularity has waned over the years. yeah, because best result was in 1901909. when it took almost 6 percent of the vote. that

was not one any seats in parliament since 2003. then there is a party of growth. it's seen as a right wing liberal movement promoting the free market, wants to see economy reforms and tax cuts for the working class. the part, he also wants parliament to have greater control over the executive branch. it picked up a little under 2 percent of the vote in the last election. while this time around, russia has invited election observers from dozens of countries from all around the world who are now visiting paulding stations across russia. 11 times on has no hobby has more than that. now. with continued in depth coverage of 2021, russia state, duma election, whole 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 percentages, so to make the 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, helpful additions or electives 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 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 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 an arctic explore. but as with anything new, especially electronic issues of accessible rudy, voter, 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 access to the vote, answer, 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 sally 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 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 poor 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 ballads. 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 through 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 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 certainly will be done 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 like, traditionally, duly elections for white 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. yes . 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 mention 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 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 effectively 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 one. they are people when they remain candidate only is not training. so they registered is bank. you know, either we get evolution in russia or we're not interested and that's are all nature . first is bad for russia because we need gradual change. we don't need religions.

second, it's bad for the west because it and tegan, isis, russia, and also it strikes to achieve result it cannot achieve that won't be renewed and russia this issue now about the nevada and the apple. 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? imagine if in the united states, russian companies had a device that would allow vote us 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 for the radical position in russia. you're just have to read the newspapers in the west lot in russian. the the robin driven by dreams shaped back in me dares thing. we dare to ask me.

i have often said transparency for the pal full received for the last bit cares about privacy. what people care about is power. tony and sons is become a symbol of the battles of brevity. information is power. that's what's going on and a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know whether they're going to do watch such help to shift the conversation around transparency. see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian 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.
