but really give them up. sure. somebody you know stuck, especially in the cove in your living like the fema home. but in the 21st century, the i am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up the 7 children, were tragically killed in that slide, it was a mistake. and i offer my sincere apology. a tell us general admit, said drone striking couple last month and killed 10 civilians including 7 children that happened right before the american military pullout also had on the program. it took 3 weeks for washington to acknowledge that incident. after initially claiming a terrorist had been, we speak to the relatives of the victims in our special project on heard voices.

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 our last meeting. i will never see her again. falling stations are now open across the country and date 2 of russia's parliamentary election. the vote continues until something not ah, just after midday in moscow, this saturday september, the 18th, welcome to the news, our an rti. my name's unit known in the united states. i was acknowledged that last month's drone strike in us gala. stan killed 10 civilians including 7 children and not a single terrorist. washington had initially claim the strike was necessary to prevent

con, kept buller port in the final days before americans 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 k or were a director at the us forces. there was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. or here you can see the aftermath of that strike in a residential area of cabal. 3 kilometers from the report that was a secondary blast, which is not believe to have been caused by a propane tank in the driveway. the us military has so far declined to say whether there will be any discipline reaction. busy

or senior correspond murat, gusty, of his, incredible hand file. this, this report get 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 scene in the immediate aftermath of the exclusion . if police 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 maintained that the intelligence behind loose 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 freight 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 an ice 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 were ost 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 v 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 even tool to admit to

a nash 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. and despite this incident, being a tremendous blunder from a tactical perspective, as well as from a public relations perspective, the united states says that no 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 soon 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 that happened 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 then the civilians killed them. they don't like what parts of one family, but we have also heard from the united states the. these strides 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 our diminish ability to strike it. isis target's guy. this done, america's last drilling strike of the guy who came just days after the terrible terror attackers capital, airports at the north gate, which came the lives of 13 american troops, as well as more than a 100 civilian. but again, this is odd likely to sort of doubt the flames of political criticism aimed at the bible and ministration and the state department for what many he has a fiasco is

a humiliating and key author, k arctic and to american presence. and i've got to start off the 20 years of war broadcast from the gun capital, while the youngest victims of the august 29 striking couple were 2 girls, both age to the man who was targeted, turned out to be an aide worker. us forces apparently thought he was loading bombs onto a truck, but those turned out to be water bottles. his brother was among the grieving family members who shared their stories with us, or a special project on heard, 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. u. s. 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 told me that she saw a small aircraft, 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 on fun, my brother and the 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 maya love's 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 the catastrophe. ringback ringback ah,

the president is made clear to the commanders that they should stop and 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. it's been 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. that people accusing us of having

contact with this law, mac state, the americans who bombed our family, seeing we'd been preparing an attack on them. their complete and utter liars, ah. ringback ah, after the incident, noah 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 mister owner should be restored by a fir 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 all people miserable. but just a few days ago, pentagon spokesman john kirby was maintaining the line that the drone strike was a vital contra terah 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 eminent attack on the airport. former pentagon security analyst, an ex intelligence officer, gave us their views and the u. s. apology and the deep underlying issues that reveals 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 and 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. a car had nothing to do with isis. united states should not be employed and 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 . moving all know authorities in southern texas have been drones from flying near the border after a dramatic footage showed thousands of migrants crowded under a bridge. official said the move was done to quote security reasons or to kill up and picks up the story for us. the my 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. $10503.00 illegal aliens or under this bridge tonight, because joe biden made a political decision to cancel deportation flights 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 bite in 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. 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 polling stations are now open across the country's 11 times owns on day 2 of russia's parliamentary election ballot doesn't dent on till sunday evening. so still plenty of time for people to have their say. the now a total of 14 parties are running 4 seats in the state duma. and throughout the week we have been reviewing each one on what they stand for. let's take a glimpse of a number of the contenders. first off, the new people party, it was funded

a year ago and is considered to be center right. some of its key pledges are to cut down and bureaucracy modernize rushes political institutions. the party also wants to boost the high tech sector and scientific research that we have the liberal democratic party of russia, which is at the nationalist end of the political spectrum. it has the same leader. it's all of us heard loud, amir, sure enough sky, who founded the movement of the end of the soviet erect. that makes the l. z p r. the oldest of russia's political factions, it promotes patriotism and anti western stamps along with a tougher line on immigration. the party came 3rd in the last election. well, this time around russia has invited election observers from dozens of countries who are visiting pulling stations across the world's largest nation. my colleague, new harvey, has more than that aspect in our continuing special coverage of russia election.

2021. 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 shed with is what they've seen the medical security condition, but also like to pursue 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 will help all additions or electives vary from country to country. how does the process work in russia? $450.00 and pace with $225.00 electoral districts chosen to the state duma for a 5 year term. half of them elected by majority voting based on one m. p per constituency. the remaining $225.00, 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 sat on the 1st voting with worn out on how online voting works and how secure the system is, is to me to back 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 is 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 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, 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, choose a 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 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 for alter, since the boat exists on several node 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 the vote. 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, 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 totally through the importance of this particular election on the west, stands on it. a lot of orders 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 already in law school and the in some other seat is a lot of people voted via electronic devices. and participation certainly will be done in 2016 when we've had the last election. presidential elections coming up. 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 in russia building up to the other traditionally, duly elections for waco rehearsal for the presidential election and russia definitely want to see new faces. the big question is,

i would like to see new part. yes. and how well russia is going to do. all right. if people are getting more interested in politics, i mean, i read the western press that the selection of sony. so an interesting but then a conference, so like it goes about this in the western media in russian media, new name, some mentioned some call and when i see the 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 seduction video for me? it's not an action. so he's definitely taken 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 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,

they are people who wins their main candidate. no money is not trying. so they registered is bank. you know, either we get area of allusion in russia or we're not interested and that's are all natural. first is bad for russia because we need gradual change. we don't need revolutions. 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 and the apple. some people have called it 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 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 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 and russian. the ah ah ah

ah ah, the ah hey, you know we have moved on from just printing lots of money and incurring lots of dead for dom reasons to printing lots of money and incurring lots of debt for extraordinarily dom reason the the the the, the.
