all social media, let us know how you think finish in chicago, school economics, change the well the the i am now convinced that as many as 2 today and including the 7 children were tragically killed in that strike. that was a mistake. and i all for my sincere apology, i could help us general admit, said try, striking cause less skill tend civilians including 7 children and leaving human rights through claim. washington only owns up because of increased global career today. has since support of those arrested during the january, 6 rise are held in washington. the run i've been peaceful to find see,

is talk top of the media about potential von levels. and russians continue to cause the balance in the countries elections to stay de, my russian low house of parliament status. the countries far $3000.00 say 3 of the i watching the news and all the international would meet you there. sure. hello and welcome to the program. the u. s. has acknowledged last long strike strike and i've got a son killed 10 civilians including 7 children and not a single terrorist. washington had initially claimed this trial was necessary to prevent on talking campbell ab, hold in the final days before americans, military withdrawal. while reports have now much to see, i had issued a warning to the u. s. military. in the immediate run up to the tragedy saying that

civilians including children, were likely in the area. 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 or were a direct threat to us forces. there was a mistake and i offer my sincere apology. here you can see the aftermath of the strike in a residential area of cargo 3 kilometers from the airport. there was a 2nd to re blast, which is believed to have been caused by a gas tank in the driveway. the u. s. military has so far declined to say whether there will be any discipline reaction. oh oh oh. busy the

me and with more details on the story he's on, he's, we're on gas data for forcing from campbell 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 vaccine in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, if we had been a car, bob laden with explosives, that many people speculate that the explosion, the devastation would have been much greater. it was a we also saw that the pictures of grid 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 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 backed 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 believed to be a nice the suspects 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, who 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 worked harder to avoid civilian casualties than the 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 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 shrikes, allegedly going wrong, but then the united states taking a year perhaps longer even tool to admit to 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 new disciplinary measures will be taken as of right now . now, what are the reasons that the human rights agencies, for example, believe that the said mission came soon 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 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 all the civilians killed and they don't like what parts of one family. but we have also heard from the united states the 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 a, as a, as a sign of our diminish ability to strike an ice as targets guy. this done, america's last driven strike of the guy who came just days after the terrible terror attack goods capital airport 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 down the flames of political criticism aimed at the biden administration 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. and former pentagon secures he analysts miko maloof believe the deadly mistake calls into question mark is modern military tactics. it is a little unusual for them to admit to a mistake. 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 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.

washington has revealed it will be reassessing. it's relations with pakistan in the coming weeks. the u. s. believe this lama was interesting that got to stand are in conflict with america's. i was just the china arabic spoke to the prime minister, pakistan who says he's disappointed by the whole attitude of the us and a lack of appreciation for pockets towns ro in the going was to blame august sun for this debacle and honest on it is the most painful thing for us to listen to focus on is the country that give the greatest number of sacrifices to for the american water. and one of the largest on was off to join this. this of envision of, of one of sun by the medical become part of the collision. one focused on had nothing to do with $911.00. there was no pakistan involved in. it either was in a plan is done. there were no military thought abundant,

but this time we had no reason to enter the war. but unfortunately, on military dictator at the time, to get acceptability from the americans, he took us into this war. and this war goest bugging on 80000. people died in this so this country what we went to, the suffering we went through the forget about the people who lost their lives in bon attacks. the last to the economy, the, you know, when you have suicide attacks, islam, what was like the fortress? so the country lost over $150000000000.00 and after all the sacrifice rather than a word of appreciation because they appreciate other people they're saying, you know, what about the of, of ones who help the, the coalition and who, you know, they'll try to look off for getting them to the us. what about purchased on

a country loses 80000 people will be turned off children of a lesser god didn't matter to them and being made to god for their failure to understand i think was the most painful thing. the thing that comes out most most significantly is that the taliban government must have an inclusive government because of a son is, is a country of diversity. the the push to element, one of basically a pistol movement is roughly half the population. then the dodge acts who have significant minority and then the prospects and, and the so from the, for the interest of, of one is for the long term stability of a plan is gone. all of us feel that it must be an inclusive government which, which, which unites of bonus. so really,

that's where we stand today. we will discuss with all the, the neighbors of atlanta son and come up with a policy there are traces, have gathered in washington demanding justice for those rest during the january, 6 front. since the storming of the capital building more than 600 people have been charged on c contributor nico house reports now from the scene. we are here in d. c. where the 1st amendment process is actually happening, right, bonded, and it seems like people seem to be gathered here for all types of different reasons. some people are here on behalf of some of the processors that have been arbitrarily arrested who have not been charged, have not been rated, have not even been given the option to be denied bill. other people are here protesting a mag arrive that they were looking for. that didn't seem like it actually happened . so you can see the entire protest with calm, despite warning from the mainstream media that it would be incredibly violent. all

right, those that deny history are doomed to repeat it and we may be thing a re run of january fix and just a few weeks breaking news. law enforcement now preparing for the possibility of armed protesters and saturdays far right. rally in support of the january 6 writer . okay, right now security tight at the u. s. capital, the fencing that's back up, the national guard standing by again. it's all because of tomorrow's far right. rally 100 percent for certain that the people were not here for any type of violence. and that there's a good chance that there's some positive relationship that a big could have been creating here, which is once again the opposite of what the major media. because we are all, if you listen to the media for why a little at yahoo, he really want us to be scared to our whole native capital. on the other side of that thing, you would think that a positive people response and the protests will yield a minimal minimal response from the kaufman. instead, as more call unity and more calls for peace began,

you actually begin to see more swat team members arrive. according the u. k, has ruled that children under the age of 16 can take puberty blockers without parental consent. the court of appeal of attendant judgement last year by the high court. he's shonda edwards dashed a half the story for us trans rights in the u. k. as back in the spotlight again as doctors are now able to prescribe puberty blockers to on the 16th. and again, central london, which runs, you can only use gender identity clinic as one the appeal which refers to the 2020 ruling that under 16 lack the capacity to give their own consent. the judgment upholds established legal principles, which respect the ability of our clinicians to engage actively and thoughtfully with our patients in decisions about their care and futures. it's a firms that it is for doctors not judges to decide on the capacity of under 16th to consent to medical treatment. the case was brought by di transitional care,

a bow who started taking puberty blockers at 16 prescribed mail home and testosterone, and had surgery to remove her breasts. but now in mid twenty's, she regrets a decision to transition. last year, the high court rule that teenagers were highly unlikely to be able to give informed consent to what described as experimental treatment. nor would they be able to understand and way up the implications following the court's decision, all treatment was been suspended. a new referrals put on hold as wow, a view that has now been overturned. it has shown a light into the dark corners of a medical scandal that is carmen children and harm me. obviously disappointed with the ruin of the court and especially that it didn't grapple with the significant risk of harm the children exposed to by being given powerful experimental drugs. they couldn't access though that the whole name blocking treatment is used by specialists to put a pulls on puberty. while young people think about whether it really is something

that they want to do. for many young people struggling with their gender identity, who believe the way for treatment is far too long. this is a life saving victory, but for care about who wants to take an appeal to the supreme court. the decision today is a step backwards for common sense and my colleague, you know, new put a show of puberty blockades for debate. the court is essentially hunting decision making power from the parent to the doctor. the doctor can say no, but the parent can't, doesn't not finally at the right of parents to bring up their, their children as they see fit is for the medical professionals, along with ideally the parents. but ultimately, it looks at whether the child on the fax, at the individual case is capable of giving informed consent. and the best person to judge there is the medical practitioner who's fully aware of all the

treatment involves. and the pros and cons, it's fine to say that the doctors and conditions and the regulations need to take responsibility for judging informed consent like children. but we have to accept that say, in, sorry, that failed as an exponential rise of the transition accounts on social media. and so clearly the system has been working for adolescents so far we have no idea what the long term results will be in terms of rach from this current. whoa, whoa. to children going through the system just because one individual person in this case came about, well, it's not one individual, as you know, well, i'm referring to the pal taste, that is the case to choose decided by the court of appeal yesterday. in that particular case, k rebel has regretted her transition from the selected to do transition back. that

does not give key rebel who is not as far as i'm aware, medically or legally qualified, the right to bring litigation, the aim of which was to overturn competence and denying access to medical care for transgender children, parents on the whole what, what, what is best for their children, what sometimes you know what children also know what's best for themself. it all depends on the marriage destination of rebel is not acceptable. the, the issue of a child who thinks they will thinks that they are in the wrong body where they learning that this is a unique case where children are indoctrinated don't lines for the but they are in the wrong body. no child is born in the wrong body. they are taught missions fact in school. children, all boys or girls based on the feelings and not on last biological sex. they then

go to each other. so can they rather of a girl will be a firm does or boy, at the time you stop and yet terms don't treat her child. so he's fully aware boys want to go. that is because they treat her healthy body to change it to, to, to look night. the biological view of the russians have been continuing to cause the virus and the 2021 stay to my elections and we'll be taking a closer look at the policies the candidates and exactly what we have. think right after the short break. don't go away. ah, match guys or financial survival guide, liquid assets are those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in

mind, no, i mean to replace that or watch guys reported ah, with me ah ah, i use the the me

ah, welcome back to our team to national it's great to have you with us and our in depth coverage of their actions to the state duma, which is russia's lower house of parliament. russia's far east has entered the fed and final day of the bud. meaning that the country's political cause for the next 5 years will be decided very soon. also you sa, scare taylor and don hawkins, have all delays on that from our specials to you in behalf of moscow voting. taking place across 3 days, beginning on friday and ending on sunday a lot of space or the voters to get through all that time. both turn out in election so far was 31.5 percent as a most good time. this saturday. the turn out for online voting is calculated separately. that stands between 70 and 80 percent of those much higher. given miss

nearly 20 quoting system, which is available across the 7 region, the voting isn't limited to those all alone ross and kaufman or something that actual space station are also able to make that choice. government sky vote on line walter, the voted through. what i didn't pass and back on the ground, as you can see, plenty of options for those of the planet. absolutely no shopping costs you're doing now. one path, not shock. he's responsibility vladimir putin who is in a different kind of self isolation. he's also voted on line the russian president, it's courtney in quarantine after a number of cases were recorded among his co adopting to the era of the mc. russia extended the voting period to 3 days. all designed to limit of course spread over into virus. one topic that has been getting a lot of attention in the run up to the election. not indeed, in the last couple of days in the,

i did of meddling not coming from some russian official company rush cotton next up looks at how much claims over let you to, for an interference of barrel pound, of course, whether indeed there's any truth behind them what is this, if not for an interference, not a single vote has yet been counted and brushes election, and yet the european parliament is talking about not recognizing the result and pass the motions saying the block will ignore the outcome. if a deems devote was enough to european standards, of course not all the lawmakers back, the move with some in that their colleagues over the veiled threat. we surround russia with nathan basis, and we call them the aggressor. we support opposition groups and we accuse them a foreign interference. the european project is not being undermined and divided by russia, but by the rank hypocrisy that is characterized in this report. it tells me that it is time to embark on a positive dialogue with the russian federation is time to stop listening to the

american in europe is our continent from europe, as of right to make a choice in favor of good relations with russia, alaska. moscow is not exactly impressed with the move either by his christa novel. it was stressed that the russian side has concrete evidence of violations of russian law by the u. s. internet platforms in the context of preparing and conducting the duma elections. it was stated that interference in the internal affairs of our country was categorically and admissible. we had also passed the relevant information through our embassy in washington to the u. s. department of state. well, it's not the 1st time russia has been crying foul over outside interference in the selection. russia has irrefutable pre said us tech giant broke russian law relating to the preparation and holding of the russian state tumor election. interference in our country. internal affairs is entirely unacceptable. first, let's talk about so called smart voting scheme, that russian opposition activist alex in nevada. and then his team came up with it

to try to take away votes from united russia long standing ruling party that supports the kremlin smart voting suggest you mark your ballot for a rival candidate who's most likely to be the candidate of the united russia in particular constituency, russian authorities don't say that the tactic is something bad per se, but they claim there is a link between smart voting and development, anti corruption fund, which was labeled and extremist organisation for inciting unauthorized demonstrations and defines of russia's covert roles. but that's just a part of it. according to russia's foreign ministry, certain smartphone apps facilitating smart voting were designed by employees of a firm run by people who have close ties with the pentagon, in the eyes of russian diplomats. this is a clear case of foreign interference in the country as the election. plenty of materials have already been distributed through the communications watchdog and law enforcement agencies. ip addresses have been identified. it has been established

that servers and technical support for the smart voting up, mainly come from the u. s. russian officials have shown no intention of letting this one slide and brought the issue during a meeting with the u. s. tech joins with us ambassador in moscow as well as handing over each row of documents regarding the large and interference to the state department. the main message is, keep out of our election. it's related to the refusal of some online platforms to remove prohibited content. specific facts were handed over to the american ambassador. he promised to check this information while saying they don't have any intelligence that someone could be breaking russian law. as a result, we've already seen apple and google came into the pressure and take down the valid this app dedicated to smart voting. however, in many other cases, america's tech giants are failing to comply with russian laws by not removing illegal content like messages publicly calling on people to take part in an authorized demonstrations. and this is likely to remain the point of tension

between moscow, washington and the with big tech as the duma election plays out. meanwhile, most cars election authorities have reported a 100 approximately elections service, partly blaming the west. the news comes as the e u parliament passed a resolution saying it will not recognize the stay dream if russia selection is deemed fraudulent. and we got reaction to this from political unless the main difficulty right now is the attacks from abroad on our electrical system. this is a direct intervention. the d dos attacks attempts to bring our side so electronic systems down. obviously we're checking for any hacking, but so far they've been no hacks. no technical failures related to these attacks. western partners who are committed to democracy are actually trying to use money today to discredit our elections and democratic procedures. in fact, by lowering the confidence the russian people have in the institutions of democracy

. this makes us very sad because we're ready to develop democracy. we're building and developing modern processes and technologies. this is something that doesn't have to do with the election to know these, the russia phobia that you have in the world. now it's deep inside people of people and civil bodies minds. they the, they want to feel like the so even before starting, they are thing, oh, the elections are rig there is, there is a problem. so i come here as an observer, lots of, of the observers are coming here. so we could testify the process. we could see everything working. so i really, this is the agenda, this is a problem of agenda. even if you have the most transparent elections, the vast elections ever with them, the observer people and change nothing in my country, for example, there are no observers. so how can i tell that my election, i'm off with your, your new at least bring people to, to watch your election. you bring people to observe your election in my country does not know such things. we should question this kind of agenda,

this kind of strategy there is in the world towards russia. i think obviously the west is always a bit nervous with russia and when it comes to elections that shows up. now the way politicians are relax can vary from country to country. so let's have a look at the process here in russia. 450 m p, sometimes 225 electoral districts will be chosen to the stay duma for 5 years. half are elected by majority voting based on one m, p park and c truancy. the remaining 225, a made up by policies that passed 5 percent threshold to get through. let's take a look at some of those fart is hoping to win the seats. first off, the united russia, which is the de facto ruling policy. it's also the largest in the country. it's trammel is the former president and prime minister dmitri me divided the party. suppose the program of the current president and among the goals is trying thing russia sovereignty. it can only could john to include support for domestic industry

with an emphasis on high tech sectors. next we have the rage and the policy which means motherland and russian and is seen as a nationalist movement. rosen, as manifesto includes imposing stricter immigration rules and distributing well from moscow to the regions. again, one and a half percent of the bugs in the 2016 election. you're up to date, more news in about 30 minutes. sign up next to now say international is our documentary. and for our i'll see you cave years. it's nick. oh the me the i

.
