the, the who's us lawmakers aren't pulling their punches as they drilled the american military top brass for a 2nd day over what summit and congress and called washington and humiliating exit from afghanistan. it was an extraordinary disaster. it will go down in history as one of the greatest failures of american leadership. russia threatened to block you tube in the country after the video sharing platform permanently deletes ortiz, a german language channels. moscow says that the us, the company wouldn't have acted without approval from berlin. and it's made oceans extra troops to kosovo, admit, and arm stand off with serbia. overwrote access will hear from a journalist at the scene. ah,

broadcasting lawns direct from our studios in moscow. this is our, the international. i'm showing thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, america's withdrawal from us can a stand comes into the spotlight as the us secretary of defense, along with a number of top ranking military officials answered questions from lawmakers in congress. the topic is something the biden administration has received a lot of flack over in recent weeks. here's just some of the barbs lawmakers aimed at biden and his top military commanders today. we have poured cash and blood and credibility into a ghani government. that was a mirage, it fell immediately. we were buying into the big lie, the big lie that this, that this was ever going to be successful that we could ever rely on the app. can stand government for anything at all. here's the thing. there's only 3 possibilities. here either the president lied to the american people, or he legitimately cannot remember the counsel of his top military advisors in

winding down the longest war in american history. or you have not been fully accurate under oath. we didn't have a president that was so adult. you all would be fired because that is what you deserve. you of let down the people who wear the uniform in my district and all around this country. it's been a tough couple days for lloyd austin, the u. s. secretary of defense, as well as the top pentagon brass who oversaw the drawing down of forces by the united states in afghanistan. the congressional committee on armed services asked them a lot of tough questions. many of them revolving around a recurring theme, that it could be possible that the united states is actually less safe today from terrorism than it was 20 years ago when the usa 1st invaded afghanistan. i feared the president is delusional. this was an extraordinary success. it was an extraordinary disaster. it will go down in history as one of the greatest failures of american leadership. i expect our witnesses to give us an honest accounting of

exactly what went wrong. i also want answers on how we're going to conduct counterterrorism operations. now that we have 0 presence in afghanistan, according to the latest intelligence assessment, it could be as little as 12 months before. okay, to will use afghans standards based in as a base to conduct air strikes or strikes against the united states. and that's an acceptable, frankly, after this debacle. withdrawal, i don't think anyone contrast anything this present says about afghanistan. lawmakers are asking if america could once again be in the terrorists cry hairs. because some intelligence sources have estimated that it could only be a matter of months before al qaeda sets up shop in afghanistan, once again. and general milly admitted that the united states exit out of afghanistan was what he referred to as a strategic failure. saying that it will be much harder to protect the country from national security threats that are coming out of afghanistan and secretary of

defense austin, he basically describes the by did ministration as miscalculating a number of factors. we need to consider some uncomfortable truth that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership in their senior ranks . that we did not grass damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president gunny of his commanders. that we did not anticipate the snowball effect caused by the the deals that the taliban commanders struck with local leaders in the wake of the high agreement. that the agreement itself had a demoralizing effect on the afghan soldiers. and that we fail to fully grasp that there was only so much for which and for whom many of the afghan forces would fight . since late august, the biden administration has been under fire because of the k arctic scenes at the cobble international airport, which were widely observed. there was

a scramble to leave the country, some green hold. green card holders were turned away at checkpoints. there was a situation where several afghans died hanging off or plains trying to get out of the country all culminating on the terrorist attack. the bombing that killed 13 us service members and led to the death of dozens of afghan civilians. ah, the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill,

bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. it was designed to save american lives while the world looks on the events that took place as the usa withdrew from afghanistan and says, it doesn't really look like a success. many are now concerned about the possibility that the country is in danger from terrorist attacks as a result of the chaos to pull out. now the military voices reassured us that that is not the case, but many have their concern. many wonder if the biden administration will face more consequences for the events that took place and afghanistan other than simply some harsh interrogation on capitol hill, independent journalist and author, nicholas davies told us that the current african crisis could have been averted. have the u. s. reacted differently in the wake of september 11th for officials on

capitol hill to attribute that so way to the somewhat chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan is completely absurd. if us official had dealt with the crime on september. the 11th, that's what they were and found out who was responsible and brought them to justice . you know, they would have been, you know, at this point something that just something that happened 20 years ago that was dealt with. instead, they used september. the 11th, as a pretext for 20 years of war, what the so called war on terra was doing with healing, camp terrorism and the just armed resistance in country after country the united states has, has actually increased the risk of terrorism. russia has slammed youtube for deleting ortiz, german language channels,

over alleged community guidelines, violations the foreign ministry, believes the move couldn't have happened without approval from the german government. and russia's media regulator is now threatening to block of the us video sharing service. the actions of the video platform youtube against those channels violate the key principles of free distribution of information and unhindered access to it. if the owners of youtube disregard the warning from russ kinetzer russian law allows for the full or partial blocking of access to the platform, there is no doubt that you tube was acting with the open and tacit support of the german government in taking these unjust measures they have exposed correspondents of russian broadcasters, 2 years long, harris met, including the blocking of bank accounts and public slander. the purpose of this aggression against the russian media holdings projects is obvious to drown out sources of information that clash with a media background that is comfortable for german official. the german government has rejected moscow's allegations. a number of journalists press berlin's spokesmen

on the matter on steve, and this was the one with the german government and its representatives. and i've nothing to do with the decision. anyone who thinks otherwise is in the grid for conspiracy theory miss design. but i'm a bit confused. i've been a moscow correspondent for 16 years and have carefully been following the development when it's russia that takes action against german media outlets, including most recently, it's actually always private companies and private businesses that are taking the action of a german government has always condemned it all the same, however, according to a statement that would have been a conspiracy theory about why in russia, these are not private companies or private network operators, but in germany, it's different mr. rice's that i must confess. i don't understand your question. i'm happy to explain it once again when russia takes action against german media outlets, and russia says it's not the government's taking action. it's a private network operator, yet the german government still considered it

a political step. now we have a similar situation here. you say it's the decision of a private network operator youtube, what's the difference under disease? so in this case, the decision was taken by youtube. it justified to move with reference to its own platform rules in russia, measures were taken against our immediate and n g o. we criticized out because those measures were taken by the government 9 know, in many cases those measures were imposed by private entities. i agree that the government was behind them, but technically those were private decisions by network operators. for example. good, then listen to talk specifically about this case. we're talking about action that you took against archie. and as far as i understand the 2nd channel in accordance with the own policies, we are aware of what's happened. of course the channel can try to get the decision reversed, but the bond wasn't imposed by the german government. and since that's exactly what is being said, i must clearly reject it. that's of course a problem has ever too quick question with this disciple. how did you find out

about the band? was it from the media? what did you find out little earlier? my 2nd question is when you tell us that everyone should be judge equally. today, there are plenty of conspiracy theories about hope and 19 on life. however, the freedom of the press which you defend doesn't why we're all these channels to leave. but not as these extra bits of fake news. typewriter, for years. i learned about the bands in the media, my feelings about it don't matter. we are aware of the decision youtube explained it and i have nothing else to say about it. it was not the decision of the german government. on tuesday, youtube deleted to have r t a german language channels r t popularity among it's a german speaking audience has been growing rapidly in recent years. now archie deutsch and racked up almost 547000000 views and more than 600000 subscribers. the channel competed with germany's major news outlets on social media, which led to to some german politicians, calling for curbs on

r t in the country. this time, the explanation for the band given by youtube is vague, citing alleged community guideline violations. google, which owns youtube, responded with more details. youtube has clear community guidelines which explain what is allowed on the platform. r t. doyle was issued a warning for uploading content that violates our rules in relation to covert 19 medical misinformation policy. this resulted in the suspension of their right to upload videos. during the suspension, the channels owners tried to bypass the restrictions by using a different channel. as a result, both channels were closed, violating youtube terms of service. following the suspension of the main page, archie deutsche continued sharing content, which had not been flagged by youtube on a different account. youtube does not clearly state that this violates its terms and conditions. ortiz, editor in chief, margarita simonian, was the 1st to comment on the story in russia. the gym for several months before

channels were banned. the german media had been publishing scare stories about rti, german becoming too influential too significant, according to their own calculations wearing forth in terms of influence in germany were bigger than well were bigger than germany's own giants. like, don't you? well, no one expected that of course, we also didn't expect that to happen so quickly. i mean, that would attract, so we can audience have so much success. they made us out to be a boogeyman. they refused to give us a license. the forbade bangs for working with us on the pressured luxembourg, so we couldn't get a license there. and when all that didn't work, they deleted us from using farfetched pretext. that was predictable because no normal person believes that freedom of speech exists in this countries. the question is how russia respond? we're looking forward to it. we spoke to peter by trend, the foreign policy speaker for the alternative for germany party, he sees the you to ban as overtly political. many channels are close

on the because they are very critical about the german government. so of course, there is no proof. there is no hard truth for any involvement, but there is no logic in it. why should capitalistic information on big company close channels with which there earning money? if they was really closing channels that are spreading miss information about medical information, they must close the government channel and the public television channel and germany, the 5 globally structures against politicians and media who are critical about topics that those go about it try to pushed into the society now it's not the 1st time you tube has targeted rti in april. this year the google owned platform took down several of the channels videos relating to covet 19 that

included an interview with a renowned virology test and footage of anti lockdown protest. youtube accused r t of spreading medical information without giving specific willie zimmer from germany see to you party thinks that people should be able to decide for themselves where they get their information doesn't open. clearly the situation does not. with europe in freedom, in a positive light, we have to acknowledge that the entire media space has been subject to censorship and manipulation. which reminds me of the worst times in germany. it's in our interest for see to make an even greater contribution to german and european media diversity. as i said before, r t has become an integral component of european press freedom. we are citizens have the right to be informed and have access to high quality journalist, regardless of its origin still become friends vigorously denies it, is abandoning molly despite a partial troop withdrawal from the west african nation. molly is now turning to

russian contractors to fill the gap, a story much more after a short break. this is our international ah the ah, me

a try now with so many inputs on a daily basis that are completely related to reality. so think about how in social media filters and they basically were present themselves in a very unrealistic way. and so we come out of fomo, there's and be involved more than that. it's about the sort of envious or something . it may not exist. it's also really tied to the fact that as humans, we want to be part of the crowd. oh, we'll come back. this is our international. now if you'd between serbia and kosovo, overwrote access shows no sign of abating nato troops in kosovo have now bolstered their presence on the serbian border. the commission president has called on both sides to show restraint. the current res intentions between causal one

serbia, is very concerning, is worrying. it is essential to lower the attention and to return to the dialogue. right, so far there is no sign of the escalation, filmmaker and journalist boris mela. gorski sent us this report from the border while the pen stand off between belgrade and prestige and causal has everyone wondering whether the next war in the balkans will start over a license plate route serves here, have been protesting for the past 10 days against this license plate ban a ban on serbian license plates, imposed by the pristina authorities that call it reciprocal measures. but belgrade actually calls it a violation of the brussels agreement that was signed in 2013 and the violation of the basic human rights of serbs. the freedom of movement and not addition emotions are repeated. new people can no longer tolerate the tyranny, harassment, and depression. we don't want to face the same fate to subs from central cos,

who are expelled and ethnically cleanse, believe me that the subs have had enough and will no longer take this occupation. and these attacks. also, as we know, has been as many administered by the united nations as since 9099 after nato bomb serbia to take control of its southern province of call. civil that has declared independence in 2008. something that has not been recognized by about half of the world countries, including russia and china, but much of the western countries consider cost civil an independent country. now serbia has sent its military forces to the administrative crossings, of course, of all. and what makes this stand off different than the stand off in the past? is serbia as a parent readiness to flex its military muscle? they have called on pers tina to remove the license plate band while christina has called them belgrade to ease up on the tensions. however,

whether belgrade it's actually ready to use military force to protect the serbs in constable remains a question hurts from political analyst nicholas medical, which he thinks kosovo has been. bolden by foreign support, just one new crisis, as you've seen many every, every day in the past. years and this is not something actually renewed when deeper . what is new is that and we see again that in this situation for the 1st time, serbia got afraid to flex its muscle and show that a red line has been crossed. nato is responsible of this situation if nato had not bomb illegally yugoslavia in 1989, we would not have these 10 situation we do have in coastal middle and surgery. so i think the fact that nato has not been capable of managing the situation which he created. so it is definitely not a good idea to have nato forces, again, on the administrative border between central serbia and co civil antonia. but

definitely, western organizations have shown that they have failed, totally failed in the balcony. and they should of the nation state, and probably maybe let the surgeons and albanians and countries from that region to the situation between themselves. first, friends has angrily denied that it's abandoning molly. and despite a partial trooper pull out from the western african nation, parents has been engaged in an anti terror campaign there for 8 years. but now bama co is looking for support elsewhere and has turned to russian contractors. here's our to use, try to build you with more. it's a situation that going from bad to well disastrous for and morally or at loggerheads operation volcano and security in the form a colony marley's prime minister has been clear that the operation has failed. but the un he went even further moving near the last button. the situation arising from

the end of operation buchan puts molly in a fair accompli bundling nose mid flight to a certain extent, and it forces us to explore alternative means to better ensure a security autonomy. li are with other partners. so as to fill that gap, that will certainly result from the withdrawal of back in the north of the country . in the month up, i decree that lake fire and the french armed forces minister us. it's a lot of hypocrisy. it's a lot of bad faith, a lot of indecency, especially because these comments were made on saturday, september 25th, but on friday, september 24th. if, if the 2nd french soldier gave his life fighting terrorism in the hell. poly has also accused morally of provoking a storm because of an inability to keep a commitment to return power, following a military coup to civilians. next year, i have the impression that the date does not see them perfectly. and that they want

to prolong the things. but from wanting that to wiping his feet on the blood of french soldiers, it's an acceptable for molly's paul. is real concerned about the future. earlier this year, president my call and now the and the operation ball came french troops have been engaged on the ground since 2013 in afraid to fight your heart is groups. but now, according to my call, that will be proof. i will be changed with the closure of french army bases, the withdrawal of more than 2000 soldiers that lead to fears molly could see a search into hardest activity. whole situation in this, the herald is right now, not being addressed because you can't address, it's simply from a security standpoint. but the worst 1012 years molly is gone to one

destabilization after another is not going to be resolved by military deployment by the french or anyone else to say how is suffering a massive economic under development deserts open space. and in the open spaces that the terrorist and others live and deploy for my 1st work out how it's going to fight against such threats. it's turning to the idea of using private companies in a big to sure up security. however, the fact that these companies are russian seems to have really not just problems, but also you. this certainly could seriously affect you to be in union relations with molly. so why all the you in front so concerned about additional security measures. a molly, is this just the case of fearing that they are losing control and you know,

but if you could, could chestnut a huge way mother has approached russian private military companies. well, nothing to do with that go up. this is an activity that has been carried out legitimately where it is killing itself and is now has less and less leverage in africa. they're making africa part of the geo political doctrine, remaining to one number one superpower in the world. and they're attacking russia in china. so they're the ones that are actually preventing development because of their geopolitical view of russia in china. and that's the mistake china. he's never going to be put back in the box. they're all over africa and african countries more and more touring to china because they also real. ringback it is ration ball cane was supposed to have produced. the chart is right across the saw how region which includes moly, inside the us state department reporters previously suggested that attacks of

actually increased 250 percent since 2018 quite simply. it's not working, and frogs is acutely aware of this, hence to some degree, that's why it's stepping back. but in doing so, it seems incapable of allowing others to fill the void instead it thrashing out and possibly permanently damaging its african toys. so let's even ski or t paris. in a bit of a reminder, our team has always had plenty more content waiting for you on our social channels . on instagram, you can find our men in london boot she davy. in his latest video post explores whether artificial intelligence could lead to the end of humanity. as we know it. the got a 100 year study, artificial intelligence determined that machines did not pose

a threat to human college, but they've updated it to send out a warning letter look that's right. clued in the in default. sure. it has so much in areas like speech recognition language problems isn't decision making among others that we should start getting a little bit worried across the field of artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress in the past 5 years and is having real world impact on people. institutions and culture on the left of, of the 15 more pocket challenges they can predict disease in the human body or even happen the problem they think for themselves, i will start to trust them even by mostly by the front of a close. i really like the big study says i always dr. busy nick information, even discrimination against people who actually lead to some of them coming to home already to i'm soon phone and tell me you can really get food by day. i even mosque

. yes. last week was never too old. i always love to be contained, and i always forget that much for the mobile phone in the mic bought off the that when you do the math does a for me this hour, i'll be back in about 32 minutes with another full 1st look news this is our introduction the ah, ah ah, ah ah

ah, jamie diamond critical, a big claim starting what it was, a $200.00 a point. it's now around $45000.00 point, depending the points out. from here though, he's looking for up to point 55 and about a coin. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters called gun violence school shootings, homelessness. first it was my job and then it was my name was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and all i end up doing is testing the road to the american dream, paved with dead refugees at this very idealized image of the older america,

native americans look past the death that happened every single day. this is a modern history of the usa, my america on r t o. when i was the wrong, when i was just don't any new world yet to shape out disdain becomes good after an engagement equal betrayal. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground in the.
