10:02 pm
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 ices k or were a direct rep to us forces. that was a mistake. and i offer my sincere apology. and here you can see the all her life and that's tried in a residential area of carnival 3 kilometers from the airport. there was a secondary blast which i believe to have been caused by a gas tank in the driveway. the us military has also so saw the decline to say whether they'll be any disciplinary action. oh oh oh. ringback busy the me
10:03 pm
with more details on the story he is on hasan rod gas. daf reporting now from cobbled get had been evidence to many and many people that something had gone terribly wrong with this as strike you to this was weeks ago, weeks ago because people saw the machine in the immediate aftermath of the explosion. if these 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 this was solid. they claim that they tracked this vehicle from a presumed isis compound, isis, k. compound, near capital,
10:04 pm
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 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 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
10:05 pm
military on the face of the earth worked 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 v submission is that it came so fast because the united states is well known for dragging these things out 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 e for tools to admit to in their strike, cause in collateral damage killing civilians. usually their investigations are
10:06 pm
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 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 have happened out of the spotlight 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
10:07 pm
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 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, as aside about diminish ability to strike it. isis target's guy. this done america's last driven strike of the guy who came just days after the terrible terror attack goods, 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 down 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,
10:08 pm
k arctic and to american presence. and i've got to start off the 20 years of war and full and pentagon, secure as he unless michael maloof believe the deadly mistake calls into question america's 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 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.
10:09 pm
demonstrators have gathered in washington demanding justice for those arrested during the january 6 rides. since the storming of the capital building more than $600.00 people have been charged and he contributes a nico house repulse. now from the scene, we are here in d. c, where the 1st amendment process is actually happening right behind it. 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 around and have not even been given the option to be denied bill. other people are here protesting a magazine that they were looking for. that didn't seem like it actually happened. so as you can see, the entire protest was 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 maybe think a re run of january fix and just

a 15 year old. here i cannot drink. going to make a decision about something isn't leaving freedom. another law will force you to does that you want to take the wrong right? nothing wrong. and i really hope that the children are easily misled. they get these letters in school, which telling you must go here and get inspected. and they come home and ask if they were, you know, after get the vaccine. but he was back to split of families and also in the u. k. a court has ruled the children under the age of 16. can take puberty blockers without parental consent. the court of appeal a returned to judgment last year by the high court on his shines, it was dusty, has a story. trans rights in the u. k. as back in the spotlight again,
10:13 pm
as doctors are now able to prescribe puberty blockers to under sixteens. again, it can central london, which runs the you can only use gender identity clinic has won the appeal which revised the 2020 ruling. that under 16 lack the capacity to give that 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 her mid twenties, she regrets a decision to transition. last year, the high court ruled that teenagers were highly unlikely to be able to give informed consent to what described as experimental treatment. nor would they be
10:14 pm
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 well. 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 harmed 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 that can excess though that the whole 9 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 weight 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, unit o'neill,
10:15 pm
probation of puberty blockers for debate. the court is essentially handing decision making power from the parent to the doctor. the doctor can say no, but the parent can't, does 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 alternately, 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
10:16 pm
that say, in, sorry, that i have failed. there's an exponential rise of the transition accounts and 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 the grant from this current. whoa, whoa to children going through the system just because one individual person and 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 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 dream litigation, the aim of which was to overturn gillian competence. and denying access to medical care for transgender children, parents on the whole what, what,
10:17 pm
what is best for their children. but 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, in the feelings and not on last biological sex. they then go to the child. so can they have a girl will be a firm? does or boy, at the time you stop and yet 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

this saturday, the turn out for online voting is calculated separately. that stands between 70 and 80 percent of those are just a much higher given miss new electronic voting system, which is available across the 7 region. to get into those on a loan ross and kaufman or something, an actual space station are also able to make that choice or doesn't sky vote on line. walk them to profit voted through one person back on the ground. as you can see, plenty of options for those of the product. absolutely, no shocking costs you're doing now. one not shock. he's responsibility vladimir putin who is in a different kind of south isolation. he's also voted on line. the russian president is currently in quarantine after a number of cases were recorded among his co adapting to the era of the contact mac
10:20 pm
. russia extended the voting period to 3 days. all designed to limit of course spreads and an anti 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. it's the idea of net lang coming system russian officials can see rush cotton next up looks at how much claims over let you to foreign into peer and sort of barrel pound of course, whether indeed there's any truth behind them. what is this, if not foreign 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 the deems the vote was enough to european standards, of course not all the lawmakers back, the moved with some incense that their colleagues over the veiled threat. we surround russia with native basis, and we call them the aggressor. we support opposition groups and we accuse them
10:21 pm
a foreign interference. the european project is not been undermined and divided by russia by fight, the rank hypocrisy that is characterized in this report. 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 continental europe has a right to make a choice in favor of good relations with russia. alaska. moscow was not exactly impressed with the move either, but his crystal 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 rush has been crying foul over outside interference in the selection. russia has, they refuse about pre said us tag giant's broke russian law relating to the
10:22 pm
preparation and holding of the russian state tumor election. interference in countries internal affairs is entirely unacceptable. first, let's talk about so called smart voting a scheme that russian opposition activist alex in nevada. and then his team came up with to try to take away votes from united russia, a long standing ruling party that supports the kremlin smart voting suggest you mark your ballot for a rival candidate who's most like 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 fun, which was labeled and extremist organisation for inciting and authorize demonstrations, and defines of russia's covert roles. but that was 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
10:23 pm
a clear case of foreign interference in the countries 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 the 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 values
10:24 pm
that dedicated to smart voting. however, in many other cases, americans take giant or 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, moscow's election authorities have reported a 100 attacks when the elections service, partly blaming the west. the news comes, as the parliament passed a resolution saying it will not recognize the state duma, if russia's election is deemed fraudulent. any reaction to this from political unless the main difficulty right now is the attacks from abroad on our electoral system. this is a direct intervention. the d dos attacks attempts to bring our sites or electronic systems down. obviously we're checking for any hacking, but so far they've been no hacks. it's no technical failures related to the use of
10:25 pm
tax. 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. so know these are osha phobia that you have in the world. now it's, it's deep inside people of people and somebody's minds they, the, they want to feel like the so even before starting, they are thing, oh, the elections are rig there is, was, there is a problem. so i come here as an observer, lots of, of the observers were coming here so we could testify the process. we could be 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 observer people and change. and i think in my
10:26 pm
country for example, there are no observe. and so how can i tell that my election, my more free than your, your new at least bring people to, to watch your election. you bring people to observe your election in my country that no, no such thing. 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 off the way politicians are like, who can vary from countries who countries. so let's look at the process here in russia. 450 m. p 's from 225 electoral districts will be chosen to the se duma for a 5 year term for election by majority voting based on one and paper constituency. the remaining 225, a made up by parties that pass 5 percent threshold to get through. let's take a look at some of those parties hoping to win the seats and fast. so we have the call at the central pas have pension is it runs itself as constructive opposition.
10:27 pm
some of its key manifesto, pleasures aha, health care spending and improving the lines of the elderly. the movement got close to 2 percent of the vote in 2016. another content in this election is the liberal, conservative civic black form. it was founded by 1000000000 in macau proper of before and internal bus stop. so him quit the part. he says a support small and medium sized businesses and wants to see stronger domestic production instead of in pools. civic please. civic platform has one seat in the current parliament and one almost one percent of the vote in 2016. and that some of the news looks like this. our join us the noise set him in. it's fine up next that it was a part was host exxon. a boy i
