[000:00:00;00] a in the headlines this hour, anacio international, at least 12 people are reportedly killed and pull them 30 ended and blasted cobble 2nd biggest moment. the telephone says it's detained. 3 people allegedly responsible it was an extraordinary disaster. if we didn't have a president, it was so adult, you all would be fired. i don't think anyone control anything this president says about afghanistan. plus in the top stories of the week just gone us lawmakers lambaste president biden and his top bras. i want some in congress called washington's humiliating withdrawal from afghanistan. we asked though, if the whole afghan campaign might be

a big of failure than just the pull out itself. from shell reporter ledges the cia plan to kidnap or assassination, we can leeks found a julian assange with former agency chief, mike pompei over the center of the plot. and russia threatened to block youtube off of the video sharing platform permanently deleted. i'll teach german language channels. moscow believes the u. s. t firm would not have acted without approval from berlin. ah, hello, good. have you ever since sunday, and i'll tell you that means we're going to take you through some of the biggest stories we've covered here over the past 7 days. first though, to that developing story in the afghan capital, where the number of deaths has reported to climb to 12 and a blast at a leading cobble mask. the attacks also left to more than 30 injured to all these more, i guess d f, who call the explosion himself,

reports now from the city. we heard the blast club clearly even this distance for kilometers till it got mosque where the explosion took place, and it was evidently a powerful blast by the, by the sound that it made even even at that distance. also, it is not surprising that the number of casualties is being revised upwards. that is the patent of these things. usually, the 1st count that we hear is on the low side of things. 3 people, the taliban says have been arrested in connection with this blas. it is unclear but organization they belong to or what their role in this explosion was put, according to our unconfirmed reports at the time of the blast. there was a funeral underway at the most. the funeral of the mother recently deceased mother of the taliban spokespersons a beulah maggio head. so perhaps it may have been isis. it's usually eas, them who, who claim responsibility in these latest attacks that have been happening all over

all over afghanistan, especially here in cobble of we regularly here and read about fire fights, raids carried out by the taliban. them trying to track down crack down and isis k cells here. and i've got to saw the 2 organizations have been at war for years now . and the taliban is evidently trying to solidify its control over of galveston. there was also another attack yesterday that has been attributed by local to isis k, whereby they say that of the terrorists drove by, ah taliban taliban members and began firing at them in a drive by attacking the in a vehicle attack with where 4 people were killed and another attack, another part of, of galveston. an attack on a taliban convoy, which has also been attributed to isis at 17 people was said to have been killed in

that. so suddenly that violence, the spot, the end of the african, the pull out of american and allied troops that violence here in afghanistan, a hasn't abated of whining it back a bit. this weeks or tough talks in the u. s. congress as lawmakers lashed out. and joe biden, and his military commanders over the afghan withdrawal. humiliating is just one of the ways to pull out been described. the president said, none of his commanders said that he should keep troops in afghanistan was on a false statement by the president as remembered. 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. now we think we all know it was a false tape. 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 lot, the big law that this,

that this was ever going to be successful near. here's the thing. there's only 3 possibilities here. either the president lie to the american people, or he legitimately cannot remember the counsel of his top military advisors in winding down the longest war and american history or view 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 been attacked. the entire afghan campaign is now coming in for increasing criticism. as kind of moping explains a testimony before congress was dancing. not only was the pull out of afghanistan, a 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 al kato will use afghanistan as a base conduct as a base to conduct air strikes or strikes against united states. frankly,

after this debacle of withdrawal, i don't think anyone can trust anything. this president says about afghanistan. we need to consider some uncomfortable truths that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership in her senior ranks. that we did not grasp a damaging effect. the frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders, and that we fail to fully grasp what there was only so much for which and for home . many of the afghan forces would fight. so after an entire war aimed to eliminate a terrorist threat to america, that threat could now be worse to real possibility in the not too distant future, 612182436 months that time the time frame for re constitutional kite are isis terrorist organizations seek ungoverned 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 taliban. even though they may think that they're trying to govern that place itself to slit and already we're seen isis attacking caliber on an. there's no guarantee then that taliban can ensure that attacks will not be planned. and launched from that from afghanistan, thought there were more revelations in the testimony, apparently behind closed doors. the biden administration was more divided on afghanistan. i think a while we is conceivable that you could stay there. my view was 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 and their nato and other core 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. so way to the somewhat chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan is completely absurd. if the u. s. officials had dealt with these crime on september the 11th as what they were and found out who was responsible and

brought them to justice. and, 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 as a pretext for 20 years of war. what the so called war on terror was doing was few ally tech terrorism and the genet armed resistance in country after country the united states has, has actually increased risk of terrorism. when other developments, human rights groups have fuming over decision by the international criminal cold to resume a proven to war crimes in afghanistan, but to no longer look at allegations of american atrocities that instead the focus will be exclusively on the taliban and ices k. i have therefore decided to focus my offices investigations, enough gun histone on crimes allegedly committed by the taliban and the islamic

state correson province onto de prioritize other aspects of this investigation. the prosecutors telling war criminals around the world that the u. s. playbook of delay and intimidation works. it also validates one of the cool criticisms of the i see, see that it only takes action against politically weaker individuals or nations while giving western powers a pass id, prioritizing, investigating us and for the afghan national security forces. the i c, c prosecutor is shamefully hunting and get out of jail free card. with tribunal will set up in 2002 as a court which could any intervene if the perpetrators of war crimes could not be brought to justice by a country's authorities. it spent more than a decade investigating war crimes by all sides in afghanistan. but the us imposed sanctions on 2 officials from a court which had started a probe into alleged us atrocities. and this on the i c. c decision is particularly disturbing for rights organizations because it comes in the wake of august

disastrous drone stripe by the pentagon. cobble and we are 10 civilians, including 7 children, were killed to the harpers. oh . ringback busy mm ah, last month, so pentagon prob admitted the drone attack was a tragic mistake and offered an apology. it back tracked on the targeted it initially claimed was linked to ice's k, saying it was unlikely opposed any threat to washington's pull out from afghanistan . a relatives of the victims say the u. s. officials responsible for the attack must be brought to justice osmotica the only horse i will keep demanding that each person who has committed a crime here must be convicted and punished with the due process of law. it's unfair if a person commits a crime and then

a different person is brought to court to answer, the criminal must be punished, no scapegoat, mozilla, if americans committed a crime, but they must be brought to justice, they should be held to account that americans attacked our house, not the taliban law. the taliban will answer for this attack is a logical seco. this is our say on the way form a cia boss. my competitor is implicated in reports of the agency plans to murder julian sonjee. just one of our stories, when the week he returns after the break. ah, for is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex, simon, sure. but i'll be speaking to guess on the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. ah ah,

hello again. it's been revealed the c i plotted to kidnap or assassinate the wiki leaks found a julian a sound when he was in the ecuadorian embassy in london a while back. a report and the u. s. media was based on statements from 30 former u. s. officials and sent it on my pompei when he was director of the agency during donald trump presidency. a pompei of denies accusations and indeed wants action taken now against the people who made those claims. or they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the central intelligence agency. maybe they didn't, maybe as a gov, just made it up. but you should, i take seriously my responsibilities to protect that information. this can be seen as pompoms confirmation of the assange kit, not or kill story. why else would you want to prosecute those sources? speaking about classified activity kidnapped ariel man hundreds and shootout with russian spies and central london. a new james bond movie. not exactly. in fact, these are the highlights from

a reported cia secret plan will silence the journalist 40 who revealed americans for dirty secrets. location london, the year 2017 starting. julian, a saw a man of interest hiding yet the doors embassy might compare. then c, i achieve that evil mastermind behind the operation. the russkies. the essential ingredient for any good spice dory. doubtless ya would break every possible law to silence independent journalist, stay tune. the upcoming details may surprise you. we are rewarding. chapter one. the assassination. michael, impaired, wanted the cia to be create instructors ordinance not to self sense of themselves when it comes to dealing wikileaks, sometimes old tricks work best. they might have thought and came up with

a good old assassination plot. detailed sketches options on how to murder a sound, reportedly with disgust in the whiteness on the finest possible level. why would a cia chief plots of the killing of an independent journalist? well, it was an act of personal vendetta. back in march 2017, the newly appointed cia chief found himself in a very difficult position. when wikileaks released top secrets ya papers, they were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about bulk 7. they were seen blood chapter to kidnapping. but somebody in the white house might have thought tape, no killings where a civilized nation that's kidnapped this journalist and sentenced him to death by american law. the plan was simply break into the embassy drag assange out and bring him to where we want one small issue. the u. s. justice department failed to keep up with cia fantasies. they were still processing the case and didn't file charges

against the wikileaks founda. so the cia was going to kidnap a foreign citizen from the capital of washington's closest ally with no legal basis tool. a perfect master black deed. you could possibly spoil the fun russians of course, chapter 3, fighting russians. what if vladimir putin intelligence gets there 1st, a dunce assange, and then flies him to moscow? that's a possibility. the paranoid c i a officers thought brace yourself. the plan to counts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left nothing to chance. the sand gets into the car with the russian operatives. the caea initiates a car crash with the russian diplomatic vehicle. god knows how many other londoners collateral damage is. they say, assange gets on the plane. the cia blocks,

it's on the runway by shooting its tires. as well as anything and anybody else's way the plane takes off with a flat tire. the cia hub is a helicopter over. it still manages to leave the ground. they demand for the european countries close their recipes. we are still talking about catching julian assange, not the number one terrorist. oh, well, if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american government's path, the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. rule of law may not surprise you. well, for now, jillian sound remains in a maximum security prison in the u. k. despite a british judge ruling against his extradition to the united states over face for his mental health, he faces a 175 years in prison in america. if he's convicted, he's wanted there on hacking and espionage charges. in 2019 hassan was forcibly removed by police from the ecuadorian embassy in london, after the country terminated his 70 or asylum. the following. the recent developments we heard from

a former c i a analyst of whistleblower and also from the currents wiki leaks editor in chief. when you so stunning revelation is quite shocking to see that this was being conquered in the states, so the kidnapping them possibly killing. if julian is expedited to to the other states, it will be in the hands of the seo his faith on you was ground. it would be in the hands of those who were planning to kill, kill him. when these discussions were going on, there was no indictment out against julia. he hadn't been charged with anything. so if there was any doubt about the political nature of the indictment and the creation of the day when the entire case, it is now on for him to be so it is of political persecution and nothing else. the world to understand that the united states is trying to criminalize journalism. they refused to accept the fact that julian assange is a journalist,

that the american people own this information and they have the right to know what it is. and that the government behind their backs, the backs of the american people, is trying to assassinate someone who has not been kid victim of a crime. in one of the things that we learned in this article was dad, the british intelligence service, the external intelligence service, and my sex was apparently involved, you know, where they were talking about, shoot up, the potential pursued out in front of the, at, with dorian embassy. that was the british that were supposed to be doing this shooting when they talk about shooting out the, the tires of a russian plane that might have been taking jillian assigned to, to russia. and that was the british that were supposed to be doing the shooting. so i would certainly hope that the british courts finally say enough is enough. there's no way that julian assigned should or could be extradited to the united states and he should be free to go. or she's threatening to block you tube after the video sharing service,

deleted out his german language channels in the week for allegedly breaching camina the guidelines. moscow described the move as an active, unprecedented information, aggression with the russian foreign ministry, noting that the measure against ality could not have been taken without berlin's approval. there was no doubt that youtube was acting with the open and tacit support of the german government in taking these unjust measures. they've exposed correspondence of russian broadcast as to years long harassment, 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 the media background that is comfortable for german officialdom of a german government denies. the allegations neil harvey took the correspondent constantly rose coff about the band and the possible ramifications are, you know, the popularity of r t in germany among the german speaking audience has been grow in, especially in the recent years. and just to give you some numbers, artie doors had

a total of almost 547000000 views and over 600000 subscribers and not a small youtube channel that placed it among the top german news channels on that platform. so artie, doris has managed to put up a fight against major german news outlets. and of course this hasn't gone unnoticed . odd, there are a lot of politicians in germany who have repeatedly called for curves on r t in a in the country. and rti has been struggling to start a teeny broadcast in germany for many years, facing both overton hayden resistance. so all in all its been an extremely harsh environment, hostile environment for our fellow colleagues in germany. so these bands seem like cost treatment. what, what was the, the potential crime that was committed while, as usual in these cases, the response from a media platform is vague and ye tube send our colleagues in germany message saying that there were, quote repeated violations of community guideline. so, you know,

that's it. you get out of the platform, google, which owns you a, gave us a more detailed response. so let's have a listen. ye cheap has clear community guidelines which explain what is allowed on the platform. ortiz deutsch was issued a warning for uploading content that violates our rules in relation to cov, at 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 for violating you cheaper terms of service. so to give you some context, our 1st artie george, his main youtube channel law, was given several code related strikes and that led to a temporary suspension. so because the main page was suspended, its team decided to continue sharing his content on a different page that belongs to one of its r shows. ah, it was different content. ah,

not that which had been flagged by youtube of course are, but nonetheless, both pages were completely deleted by youtube without any warning. now what's interesting is that there are no clear rules saying that you can run a separate page or maybe even start a new page if you are suspended on youtube for whatever reason. besides those 4 videos and question that rti doors receive strikes for are contained criticism of the government's approach of the pandemic voiced by other medical experts not by journalists. so ah, to claim that this was medical. a miss information, misinterpretation? well, in the eyes of arte doors that saw debatable so is anti denying in the wrong doings it challenging this man. while they're saying that they receive an unfair treatment . and actually, 1st to common on that story in russia, was our own editor in chief museum. got the leads for several months before channels were banned. the german media had been publishing care stories about r t,

german becoming so influential to significantly according to their own calculations . wearing the 4th in terms of a lens in germany were bigger than well. you were bigger than germany's own chinese, like don't you? well, i'd no one expected that of course, like i also didn't expect that to happen so quickly. i mean, that would attract my so beacon audience. i'll have so much success. if they meet us out to be a bogeyman, they refused to give us a license. would it be forbade banks for working with its own them if they pressured luxembourg. so we couldn't get a license narrowly bond when all that in the warrant they deleted us from you. tm, you using the far fetched, freed, accidental. that was predictable because no normal person believes that freedom of speech exists in this countries. the question is how we rush respond i we're looking forward to it or just foreign ministry spokeswoman muddy is a hot dog also we'd in by saying that would just happen. ah, was an act of aggression and that there is going to be a symmetrical response directed at german media working in russia. now the message should, didn't clarify what exactly that means,

but i guess her are driven colleagues work in here to be bracing for a bumpy road ahead. what we call the thoughts of alexander neu, from germany's the left party, and also of believe, emma, who's a politician for germany's ruling a christian democrat, they both said it's a step backwards for press, freedom in europe, doesn't. oh, clearly this situation does not with european freedom in a positive light. so we have to acknowledge that deny mediaspace has been subject to censorship and manipulation, which reminds me of the worst times in germany. it's in our interest for our see to make an even greater contribution to german and european media diversity. as i've said before, r t has become an integral component of european press freedom. we as citizens have the right to be informed and have access to high quality journalists, regardless of its origin fitness. i considered it a challenging situation that now the russian point of view, public, or political, is being more and more suppressed. archie deutsch does not have a particularly good reputation in germany, not with readers,

but rather among their colleagues. they don't like our tea deutsche, because it has broken their monopoly and the dictate of opinion in german journalists and journalists who practice journalism, the praises the authorities. instead of critical journalist do not like such competition. they don't like it that a mirror has been put in front of them in which they can see what they really should be doing. okay, that's the weekly for this out of them, we got more great programs for you this sunday and a couple of minutes. i'll be back here with you next edition. and just over half an hour later, blue ah is driven by dreams shaped by centers and those

in dares sinks. we dare to ask a 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 are no longer want or cant afford their life insurance policies. if you're sick and full, want to live a few more years. you consillio life insurance, that way you get more money right away in the company, collects your insurance payment off to your debt. either there's

a group of people out there, i guess, hoping that people die soon will kind of motivation. does that give them? when i start crying about him dying, that's usually what it's about as just the sheer unfairness of it all. awe unit 731, did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to prisoners who were tied to steaks in a field. we have evidence that they gave disease infected chocolates to children.

i plead guilty to having exercised to direct guidance of preparations for conducting biological warfare, chiefly against the soviet union. biological bombs were to be dropped on vladivostok. mutter sheila about ask jetta and plug a visions tribunal transcript generally amount auto commander in chief japanese quantum army. ceramic bombs containing typhoid and cholera and anthrax. what also she will you see is brain child me today? you may go and metal russia? no, nothing to do with it. more like it did you candidate up how did serial not donia. so i wish i could build a pitch book that bombs packed with deadly
