out in the, in the it was an extraordinary disaster. we didn't have a president that was so adult. you all would be fired. i don't think anyone can trust anything. this president says about up can stand us lawmakers, sculls, joe biden, and his top ralph, save about some in congress, according washington's humiliating withdrawal from afghanistan. we also, if the whole afghan campaign might be a bigger failure than just the pull out itself, also this alex the wall of shame, that was the graffiti spells out how some encourage of come to view a paris suburbs up in arms over the construction of a wall designed in theory to keep drug out exams saying it's in humane and in

practice only makes things worse. it really feels like it's on the apocalypse movie . since last week we have faced assault after assault theft theft. we put them to one side like animal. it's a long western tradition to segregate new comments on the canadian military chiefs who saw the pandemic as a chance to test propaganda on citizen. according to a troubling new report. ah, how is good to be with us this evening and here in moscow. my name's calling bry. welcome to your well to use 1st, then it's been a 2nd day of tough talks in the us congress as lawmakers yet again lash out of joe biden. that is top military commanders over the afghanistan withdrawal. the by and ministrations received a lot of flack over this in recent weeks with some calling the pullout humiliating for washington. here were just some of the accusations that have been fired at the

president and his team. the president said, none of his commanders said that he should keep troops in afghanistan. was that a false statement by the president? i remember you do not have a duty to cover for the president when he's not telling the truth. i've given you my judgment on it. and i think we all know it was a false statement. i have been frustrated by the lack of someone in charge on the biggest national security fiasco in a generation. there has been 0 accountability, no responsibility from anybody. we have poured cash and blood and credibility into a got a government that was a mirage. it fell immediately. we were buying into the big line, the big lie that this, that this was ever going to be successful. now, 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, but it's not just the pull out that's being attacked. the entire afghan campaign is now coming in for increasing criticism. more on that next from caleb, open. the testimony before congress was damning. not only was the pull out of afghanistan fiasco, but the campaign failed to achieve its primary aim. it was an extraordinary disaster. it will go down in history, is one of the greatest failures of american leadership. we have 0 presence in afghanistan. it could be as little as 12 months before our cato. we'll use f canister as a base can do as a base to conduct air strikes or strikes against the united states. frankly, after this debacle withdrawal. i don't think anyone contrast anything this present says about afghanistan. we need to consider some uncomfortable truths that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership in nursing. your ranks. that we did not grass a damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president gunny of his

commanders. and that we fail to fully grasp that there was only so much for which and for whom many of the afghan forces what's fight. so after an entire war aimed to eliminate a terrorist threat to america, that threat could now be worse to real possibility. in a not too distant future, 612182436 months. that time of timeframe for recalls, tuition about carter, isis, terrorist organizations seek on govern spaces so that they can train and equip and thrive. and there is clearly a possibility that that can happen here. going forward. afghanistan in effect now has become an entire terrorist state tele bond, even though they may think that they're trying to govern that place itself to split . and already we're seeing isis attacking caliber on. and there's no guarantee them that taliban can ensure that attacks will not be planned and launched from

that. but from afghanistan thought there were more revelations in the testimony, apparently behind closed doors. the biden administration was more divided on afghanistan. i think while we've, it's conceivable that you could stay there. my view is that you would have had to deploy more forces in order to protect ourselves and accomplish any mission that we would have been assign. it appears that the department of defense was not fully on board with pulling out of afghanistan, and they are arguing for maintaining some presence in the country. my view was that we needed to maintain about 2500. and that we also needed to work with our coalition partners. we had about 6000 troops in there, nato and other cor, countries that would, that would remain there. this flies in the face of the biden administration's claim that pulling out was the unanimous decision. it's unclear what would really change if the united states stayed in the country. it has been 20 years after all,

and the security situation in afghanistan has not improved. so maybe the mistake wasn't pulling out in 2021, but rather going in in 2001. now that's a discussion you won't hear on capitol hill, but it's probably taking place in many american minds for officials on capitol hill to attribute that solely to the somewhat chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan is completely absurd. if us officials had dealt with the crime on september 11th, that's what they were and found out who was responsible and brought them to justice . you know, this 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, at the pretext, for 20 years of war. what the so called war on terra was doing was healing

tech terrorism, and the gist of armed resistance in country after country the united states has, has actually increased the risk of terrorism. angus mounting in paris suburb over the construction of a wall designed to keep drug uses out, but instead of solving the problem, residents that say it's actually made matters worse and they turn the area into a living. hell chela. do. ben ski takes up that story. the writing is on the wall quite literally the wall of shame, that's what the graffiti spells out. and that's how some encourage have come to view this. this barrier has been built to hide one of the cities, ugliest problems. crack addiction for model drug use is turned hawk. it will in the 19th home, decent paris and the surrounding streets into a living nightmare. locals,

now they have be moved to around this location. meaning that the problem haven't been tackled. it's just bought a new set of glucose to deal with him and he'd really feels like a zombie apocalypse movie. last week we have faced assault after assault theft. after 1st, my neighbor is still in hospital at the trying to catch a drug addict who robbed him. he was beaten up. noel says, this neighborhood has long suffered problems, but this addition of more than a 100 drug addicts on the doorstep only creates greater insecurity. that's been done. yeah, we are almost a breaking point. there's a feeling of nervousness, violence. we think about it everyday. i even have to all myself with protective equipment. gus, a taser or a but why? because just last weekend, there were 5 fight that happened on friday, then saturday and sunday they just didn't stall. we have got to x who come here

every day because they need crack. this war was hastily built with the authority saying that it was necessary to protect glucose from the drug uses. but it happened to walking around in that neighborhood. we have seen everything from spilling over into commercial areas and drug deals taking place in the, in the metro is mounting here, locals, all protesting against the fact that they have been on the doorstep just to know who left. i'm angry because these people i've been treated like animals, we country, people like that. we can just move them to please further away from very well known color. why are we angry today? because of everything that's happened. we always been attacked. it's getting worse and worse. women are being the salted threat and we must find a solution to the problem and we find that counselors, there you go, we have to do something proving. so do you want to instead of relocating people to

good neighborhood where moving them to areas that already have difficulty with them? they just shifted the problem a few blocks away. instead of building the infrastructure to accommodate the people about sun acceptable left. we are angry because instead of taking care of the deprived migrant population, we put them to one side like animal. it's a long western tradition to segregate new comment, to put problems to one side instead of holding them. it's nothing new. the fascist were very good at it said crazy, it's the work on the medical supervision have been approved by the government. but every time a location. the suggested position from people who are buying some lightning the plan putting rock and they know the menu schools endangering children. cool is something that addresses the like a logical and also the psychiatric needs. there are about a 130 and

a 150 men and some women living in a kind of shanty town on the outskirts of paris in totally unsanitary conditions. they need social and health care, not this type of security response. they all had already been about. this is the latest layer of insecurity. what's really good success, really wonderful, how to solve a sometimes a new canadian, i'll be reporters revealed that military bosses. so the pandemic is a quote, unique opportunity to test propaganda on the population. the plans were implemented, but disturbingly army chiefs thought that they didn't need approval from higher authorities. several officials and military headquarters warned that such policies are not usually deployed against citizens domestically and have the potential to be abused by targeting government critics. the campaign called for shaping and

exploiting information. c, j o. c. claim. the information operation scheme with needed the head of civil disobedience by canadians during the karone of ours pandemic, and to bolster government messages about the pandemic. this project which attempted to shape and exploit information was launched in april of 2020 without the request or even permission of cabinet. and even though then, chief of the defense staff, general john vance, gave verbal orders to shut down the initiative that very same month report show that these influence activities as the military likes to call them, continued for 6 more months until events finally submitted a written edict in november and now you might be wondering how such authoritarian and frankly even mackey value and projects could be allowed to take place in a supposedly liberal country like canada, is specially since canadian law states that the military is specifically forbidden from using psychological operations or

a psy ups within canada unless given explicit permission from the federal government. well, it turns out that the answer there is essentially creative semantics. you see, according to the department of national defense, cy ops are only used abroad and they are, of course, completely and totally different from what it is. instead choosing to refer to as information, operation, campaigns. sure. and as terrible as all this sounds. the sad truth is that this isn't even the 1st time that the canadian military has said it sites upon fellow law abiding canadians. another initiative, this one spearheaded by intelligence officers focused on gathering data from the social media profiles of canadians, is included collecting data on b, l. m. leaders and collecting posts that discussed public opinion of ontario premier doug ford. all of this, especially when combined with the increasingly strict code protocols put in place by the federal and provincial gulf myths paints

a grim picture for canada's future. it seems increasingly like canadians are finding themselves in a position where their own government and yes, even their own military views them as the enemy and a group to be controlled. you know, without secret, happy with us on the way europe is feeling the hate that struggles to stick to its green goals of nations rely on fossil fuels to keep homes warm this winter. and we're going to talk you through that in 90 seconds from now. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me. oh, when i was the wrong one old fool,

just don't i mean you have to fill out the thing because the kid an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well the parts we choose to look so common ground in jamie diamond was critical. a big claim was starting what it was, $200.00 a point. it's now around $45000.00 point, attending the points out from here. so he's looking for up to a point or can see the 5 and about a coin the can if you're in europe and worried about your gas bills, look away. now, prices have reached

a new high again. now reaching $1150.00 per 1000 cubic meters. prices have been rocketing since the beginning of september. i told him he gas, which europe desperately needs countries have been struggling to reduce the consumption of coal in line with policies and limits in greenhouse gases. but as dmitri polk explains, those green energy ambitions might have to take a step back for a bit. environmentalism is all the rage right now, but mother nature doesn't always play ball. winter comes whether there's wind enough or not to power the turbines and where it's freezing cold. no one actually cares if gas and coal aren't green. energy prices are skyrocketing in europe and environmental initiatives seem to only be making things worse. the fact that wind farms are useless when there's no wind is a big problem for the likes of the u. k. for example, where they're supposed to produce around 20 percent of the country's energy supply . so it's back to dirtier forms of power. less than that,

we need to learn that fossil fuels are still needed in the energy mix in order to back up renewable energy. because if we continue to remove all the bases capacity that is coming from sources like gas call a nuclear without having something that is like come back up the intermittent sea of wind and solar. then we will be having tight situations of the ones we are experiencing at the moment. take the current unreliability of wind and solar, add the increased demand and low supply of coal and natural gas throughout the continent, plus all the carbon permit fees for coal producers. and you've got a perfect recipe for energy crisis, but somehow no one saw it coming. not a good start for what the likes of ursula andre lines. they will be defining era for environmentalism. it's just a pleasure to welcome you to this conference on the make break decades for climate action. the next 10 years might be a turning point. first and foremost,

for global c o 2 emissions. good luck with that 3 month after she said that and you lawmakers are already extending subsidies for fossil fuel gas until 2027. all the while the energy commission insist that it had nothing to do with the crisis. the current increase in energy prices has little to do with our climate policies and much what to do with our dependence on volatile foreign fossil fuels. right. and the price of coal permits which have more than doubled over the past 2 years. probably also had nothing to do with the current situation, but higher coal prices and a shortage of supply isn't justice acting europe right now. china is also having a hard time with the whole environmentally friendly approach to energy. large sectors of the country's industry have been crippled by energy shortages and regions are being forced to ration power with chinese government is calling for an increase in coal imports and we're not even into winter yet. going green is trendy

and it sounds nice, but in reality we're a long way off before it's actually practical until then it seems non green energy sources are here to stay, trying to limit them without thinking of the consequences. the simply a recipe for disaster. at the moment we have to date that physically it's impossible to get rid of all the fossil fuel sources for energy production. if we did not get now nuclear power production and a little later on and achieve production from coal, we could maybe use less natural gas. but natural gas seems to be the major back bone. so usually for promot providing a stable energy production at with natural gas, you can quickly lift up energy production levels. when

wind stops blowing, when it start. whitehouse has admitted its teaming up with the a you to stop china getting access to high tech know how the u. s. comments chase and the revelation at a top trans atlantic tech trade summit. we have to work with our european allies to deny china the most advanced technology so that they can't catch up in critical areas. and the talks gina romando, branded brussels and indispensable partner the meeting, also focused on artificial intelligence, climate solutions, and development of 6 g networks. but it hasn't gone smoothly as those of us comments suggest to him from among others opposing a statement about the some it's goals. the parents is still bristling over the new orcas packed between the u. s. u. k. and australia. with so camera scrap a $40000000000.00 submarine deal with france. it calls all the stuff in the back

raising fears about the future of the western alliance. a political expert told us that europe simply can't trust washington. you're looking really being cheated by the us. many times you're looking countries on like for laid off and then the us government stuck in the us can not last week we will enter the 10 states, also deeper decrees. i believe that you will have a half being the american light being open to maintain independent political, economic, and even military actually be companies in europe can not fully free to be china in the world largest condenser, much or sci fi, can tech a lot for them. if they don't fail to chime in those companies, if you look at the trade date of this year,

you will know that using the pen that you're trying to train, we, are you looking countries fooling rapidly? and they have increased by 20 percent and even the 30 percent. so yield nice china market and trying to protect thanks more than 100. 30 judges in the us are being criticized for taking part in cases in which they or their families stood to financially gain. the wall street journal reports that 131 judges had fell to recuse themselves from 685 cases in 2010. and they've all firms, in which they all their family held shares, and which 2 thirds of the cases ended up being ruled in their favor. the judges of relatives held stokes with over $15000.00 in companies involved in a $173.00 cases. more than $50000.00 worth in $21.00, others on the report also found that in $61.00 instances, the stocks were traded during the court proceedings. the west coast administrative

office says that look into the violations. the wall street journal's reports on instances where conflicts inadvertently were not identified before. keith was results or transfer dis troubling, and the administrative office is carefully reviewing the matter. i can say with absolute certainty that i never made any decision in favor of a company, because i own stock and was invested in that company. i dropped the ball. thank you for helping me stay on my toes the way i'm supposed to. i just blew it. i regret any question that i have created an appearance of an appropriate c or a conflict of interest. the newspaper highlight said, new york judge who handle the pollution claim against oil, joined exxon mobil. malone in exxon stuck on a colorado judge who oversaw a case against nbc universal loan, a comcast, in which they to shares the failure of the judges to stand aside when the financial conflict of interest violates federal law and spoke to furious public reaction.

will they go to jail, will be impeached? if not, then it's just another story of entitlement with no repercussions and prosecutions . we expect judges to be fair and impartial. you now see why americans do not trust . there is rotting corruption in every level with no consequences. tell me how is that, okay? and nothing will happen. that's the whole problem. look at the senators who benefit from star traits, nothing out into them. different rules, different people. a lawyer, a new go politician, money, hell asa says the situation on the lines. the reality have american legal impartiality. if it would have been one case that would have been fine, but instead it was 131 judges and nearly 700 cases. so this really proves to be, you know, a pervasive and systemic disregard for the choose a law. and it really illustrates how the judges, the federal bench, the whole system as an institution, you know, is,

is impartial and biased. i think this is just the tip of the iceberg. i think all these judges have been ignoring this for law for a lot, a lot of time when the public gets a, when that the system is corrupt and you know, did you do story is not fair. and impartial, i think that that really pushes the public to put pressure on our elected officials to come up with structures that demand impartiality. ok, and that is your r t news for this. our thanks for watching. i'll have you next update after this week's alex simon show the ah, the ah,

a try now where we would use so many inputs on a daily basis that are completely related to reality. so think about how in social media filters, and they basically present themselves in very unrealistic way. and so we come to a fomo, there is and be involved more than that. it's about the sort of envious or something . it may not exist. and it's also really tied to the fact that as humans, we want to be part of the crowd. lack of universal health care makes america the country of every man for himself.

we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with a special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who no longer want or can't afford their life insurance policies . if you're sick and for one to live a few more years, you can sell your life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment off to your debt. and there's a group of people out there, i get hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them when i start crying about him dying, that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the

news . welcome to the alex salmon. sure. where we examine whether the ongoing vaccination program worldwide is getting to grips with covert 19 to fight back to now haven't been deployed for the best part of this year. wolf . why is it daily you cases of the vital top half a 1000000 daily death over 8000. and the total death is an extremely heading for $5000000.00 or less before the onset of winter, and the heavily infected northern hemisphere. meanwhile, africa means an unvaccinated continent with billy 5 percent of the population covered. while in the u. k, a series of bizarre policy decisions has included delaying the vaccination of

teenage girl child until after the school year had returned. the results across all ford administrations is that the u. k. was one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. also now has one of the highest streets of infinity. those who talked for early signs of no kite blue for science to divide us up to do to disappointment . but as yet look, is bleak as it would at 1st sight appear. well, today we speak to world expert professional. the o'neill of trinity college dublin has emerged, wanted to keep commentators on the ability of vaccines to triumph over crude, a virus, but bright future messages, an e mail the response to actual last week. i mean, you keep parties conference season session. partition quoted says, no one is standing up to the tardies in this says, the program is very informative. i was never important enough to be authority. thanks. vena john carnegie says labor i too much to the right. now. of course chris

will infant for his lifelong hero 20 been and last week. sure. and i'll newman says tony been was awesome. micro brailey says the english ship of state is hold below the waterline. the only thing stopping it from the thinking completely is it makes a public money through an acid. gordon, kansas is adrena cutty is always of great interest. not necessarily politically or factually correct, but always interesting. and finally, while you're more says in relation to the ship of state ship, more like a punctured thing, a with a captain and clueless cabinet last scene. now the back to the deployed, but the vidas is still ripping through society. we try to profess luca, neil of trinity college dublin. profess underlying state to play in the battle between science and the virus. does not look at neil. what's happening? what old? why, i mean i, we wedding less battle with throwing a virus,

probably black students to veiling are the still plenty of pitfalls to come.
