a spate of terror attacks in the country since the us exit the u. s. marine officer plead guilty for, criticizing the military leadership for the chaotic afghan. withdraw the marine demands. senior leaders accept accountability. i st. clashes blocked ports and strike action. that's all in response to the italian government, introduction of mandatory coven passes for all workers in the country. ah, a broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our t international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. in the u. k, the conservative m. p has reportedly been stopped multiple times while meeting with
10:02 am
his constituents, a suspect has been arrested from one of the lift cross live down to archie is shot edwards joshua, who is in london with the latest shot in. tell us what you know well, conservative m p for david a most, he's 69 years of age has been stopped multiple times this afternoon around 12 o 5 p. m. it happened at the methodist church where he was holding his local constituency surgery meeting. now what that means is that members of the public can go and talk to that local m p 's about various political issues affecting the area . it's understood that a member of the public then attended, went into that meeting and stopped the tory m p multiple times. now this is in south and just outside of london and happen as i say, just a few hours ago now since then. but has been arrested. we've heard from essex police,
10:03 am
the police in the local area saying that they are not looking for anyone else at this point. clearly they feel like this suspect was acting alone since then. they have also located a knife on the scene as well. now in terms of david amos's condition, it's still unclear and ambulance went to the scene almost immediately. but we understand that he was receiving medical treatment at the scene and only taken by ambulance just a few minutes ago. so as i say, the ethics please have released the statement. they've thanked the public and they've said that they are appealing for any information that the public may have on local. cctv cameras or on cameras on people's front door is now a bit more context. of course, we have had statements and tribute pouring in from many, many, m, p across the political spectrum we've had from the labor lead calling. this incident absolutely heretic similar sentiments though, as i say,
10:04 am
across the political spectrum. but this, unfortunately, it's not the 1st time that a member of parliament has been attack todd, a constituency. of course, most notoriously. we know the fate will stopping of jo cox. back in 2016. she too, was holding her constituency surgery meeting on the friday. we've had from her husband who has immediately tweeted out saying that attacking elected representative is an attack on democracy itself. now with david amos, he has always put the constituency out for us, taking the political platforms like parliament or committee meeting to bring a constituency issues right to the forefront of politics. yes, he did have some strong opinions as well. we know he was a leading campaign for, for brakes it a few years ago. he was also opposed to things like l g, b, t, right. so quite a controversial figure in some respects, but this latest incident,
10:05 am
very, very dark indeed. and shows a very worrying trend to, particularly in light of all of the politics he's been campaigning for, for instance, on t nice crime. making this and not context all the more doc or darcy's shut it edwards darcy and we're getting reports in unconfirmed at this point. that the m p has actually passed away. we will confirm that and get back to you. we know that as a story develops, you will be getting back with us as well. thanks. now a mosque attack in afghanistan has reportedly killed 37 with more than 70 injured in that blast. now a bit of a warning you may find the following. images disturbing. the explosion happened at a shia mosque in the city of kandahar during the weekly friday prayer, a large crowd had gathered there. the telephone says it has launched an investigation. for more than this, we can cross live to brian becker was the director of the anti war answer coalition
10:06 am
. brian, thanks for being with us here on our international as always. so, if you had to guess who do you think might be behind the attack? i mean, at this point, could it be islamic state k? yes, i mean the, the signature of this kind of an attack seems compatible with what isis isis. k attacks have been in afghanistan. there was a previous slaughter of she prayer meetings at a mosque initiate mosque in afghanistan. and we know from what happened in iraq, the attacks on the she, i community. and she was a signature of how isis functioned at the time that isis began. so i think that while no one at this moment, the moment that we're speaking has claimed responsibility, one would have to guess that it's isis, of course, because it's
10:07 am
a bomb attack like this. anyone could actually carry out such an attack and have it be attributed to some other entity life. isis. obviously it has a destabilizing impact on the african government. it's designed to destabilize the afghan government. isis is not the only player that wants to do that. but i think at this point, we can say without certainty, but with, in all likelihood that this will be a claim by isis as their attack. now, as we know, this is the 2nd attack on the shared mosque since the telephone seized power. why do you think shape muslims are being targeted at this point? well, from an ideological or theological point of view, isis. this extreme, a sunni, political entity has declared that shiites are infidels, and should be killed. i mean, that's been part of the political program a basis from the beginning. but the most important part of what's happening
10:08 am
politically with the tax is there's an effort to show that the taliban now in government are not able to secure law and order, not able to guarantee the protection of its own people. not able to have a security capacity such that it can prevent these attacks. so of course, i think what isis and perhaps other opposition forces to the taliban want to have achieved the idea that the taliban actually can't rule. and so there is and will be a contest for political power inside of afghanistan. and this is part of an effort to deal with, utilize the efficacy or effectiveness of the taliban government. now, there has been a visible spike in these gruesome terror tags since the u. s. pullout have to ask, do you think that there's a link there? well, less, less. remember the big picture of the context when the united states invaded
10:09 am
afghanistan on october 7th, 2001? there was no isis, there was no isis in iraq, no. isis in syria, no. isis in yemen. no. isis in africa and no isis in afghanistan. the whole war on terror by the united states, which is included the death of $250000.00 and afghans during the past 20 years. that has created that has created that has been the trigger or the catalyst for the further expansion of isis or isis like formations. so from out of space, the war on terror has been a complete and utter failure because rather than containing or stopping this kind of extremism or terrorism, it has accelerated and expanded it as a phenomena. and so while we can say, well the us last and thus these attacks are happening. these attacks were happening
10:10 am
while the us was there and they were tech. the attacks were happening by isis. some of the attacks were happening by the old, the afghan army, and of course some of the attachment happening by taliban and other resistance fighters to the african government. so i don't think it would be correct to say because the u. s. this is now happening, but i do think that we can say the big picture that the war on terror proclaimed by the united states after the september 11th attacks in 2001 has accelerated not defeated. the expansion of this kind of terrorist activity are i, brian becker, director of the anti were answer coalition. thanks for your thoughts on the subject . now, today's blast comes a week after an explosion tore through another she a mosque in the north of the country. 50 people were killed back then with even more injured islamic states. correson claimed responsibility for the attack or t contributor richard matters. looks back at what happened a week ago, asking why islam mac state is intensifying its activities in the country. last week,
10:11 am
a tragic terrorist attack in afghanistan. the explosion occurred during friday. prayers at a mosque in conduce, in northern part of the country. at least a 100 people were killed or wounded. most of the victims has ara, she has an ethnic minority. isaac k quickly stepped up to claim responsibility for the attack, but with one intriguing detail. turns out the suicide bomber was a you grew muslim from china's changing province. this is very interesting because you girls are indeed a minority muslim population in china. and usually the only thing you hear about them is that the chinese government is committing genocide against them. believe something the media haven't told you. there are indeed many ogres in afghanistan, militants, who are members of various jihadist groups like al qaeda or rises there actually. so many of them, united nations put out a report in june about foreign fighters in afghanistan. the report estimates that there are between 8010000 foreign terrorist fighters,
10:12 am
comprised mainly of individuals from central asia, the north caucasus region of the russian federation, pakistan and the shin, january autonomy region of china, among others. although the majority are affiliated foremost with the taliban, many also support al qaeda. others are allied with iso or have iso sympathies. another one of these groups is e t i m, which stands for the east torcous don islamic movement. this huger extremist group used to be on the united states list of terrorist organization. but for some reason, in 2020, the united states, remove them from the list us cozying up to terrorist groups, using them as proxies for regime change in countries. they don't like where we seen that before. latin america of ganawe's dancer. yes. speaking of syria, there are 5000 euchre terrorists over there, fighting alongside other jonas,
10:13 am
but just going back to afghanistan for the last 20 years, the u. s. has had an enormous military footprint on china's doorstep. now the most of its truth of withdrawn and the united states is shifting its focus from them, at least to china. us wants to keep china's border with janice, then as unsafe as possible, and a constant worry by tacitly endorsing for at the very least turning a blind to i, the terrorist groups, and the u. s. and the u. k. m is supporting separatist movements in china going back decades. this is all part of america strategy to mess with china, create chaos, divide and conquer. but the that it states is making a huge mistake. once again, dislike they back the margin in the 1980s to fight soviet. now they're implicitly backing you the terrorists in order to fight the chinese. and, you know, there comes a point where you really have to understand that backing jihadists is not a good idea. there is nothing beneficial that someone blowing themselves up and
10:14 am
committing a terrorist attack. i mean, this is incredible. how many times is it gonna take for the united states to realize that backing which i, dean and of gannon san, or anywhere for that matter is a really bad idea. they did it in the 1980s. they back, bin laden, it came back to bite them. it always does. and this is no exception. u. s. marine has pleaded guilty to criticizing the military leadership over the chaotic afghan. withdraw. he is demanding. army chiefs accept accountability from on this. we can bring in our cheese morag, gusty of a who can, has a unique perspective. you're just back from afghanistan. ah. 2 tell us um, murat, what exactly did stewart schiller do and will he be? well, should shelah has, has just been sentenced, and there is the opinion that he got off very light. all things considered the scandal that he caused winter went right up to congress and the united states military. we will know it doesn't like scandalous. it does,
10:15 am
it's best to deter for those who would start scandals and it squashes scandals out sometimes in a very harsh way. so it was surprising that instead of a paths, jail t r. bob's a dishonorable discharge. all he was sentenced to was a $5000.00 fine, which will be dogged from his wages next month, as well as a letter of reprimand. so is told off basically. so he gets an honorable or less than honorable discharge, as well as gets the keep all of his or all the pension that he has worked up on the 17 years of service and whatever defences that he may be called a witness or witness. that said basically that the u. s. military a has a 2 tier system. so a system of accountability in which some people, perhaps a junior, ranked mister shelley himself that they would have been punished much more harshly while those at the top such as him, lieutenant colonel,
10:16 am
they faced much more lenient, lenient measures from the court. the united states marine corp saddam asked for a harsh punishment for 6 months or $30000.00 to be a dog from his pay of the 6 months. but obviously that the court decided differently, the decided that this was punishment enough. and this was part of the point that stuart jello was making before he went into the court. ah, he said that ultimately he had to bear responsibility for his actions. just as those above him had to bear responsibility for their actions as including the chaotic withdrawal from gaston. i did what i did because i sorted was in the best long term interest of the marine corps going forward. i'm still demanding accountability again, the video that he published on the 26th of august. and i remember it caused quite a stir cuz waves in america divided people again polarized them. they were that
10:17 am
there were those who supported him. who said that, yes, these evacuation was completely humiliating. it was insulting to all the americans that sacrificed their lives will owe their health in order to fight that born of canister. and for america to leave in such a manner was absolutely tragic. there were also those that said that he shouldn't have done this because the united states military has a different code of conduct. and so they're not allowed to criticize those above them of senior rank. and he, himself a 6 charges, including i conduct unbecoming of an officer as well as contempt towards the superior to service men in the united states of her bidding from criticizing either a superior officer or a civilian leader of the united states government. both of which he did and people said that he should have done this. he had 17 years of service to, to his name at he should have known better than to do this. but ultimately, over the course of all these videos that we saw and released by him in the build up
10:18 am
to the trial at he was making $1.00 and $1.00 of one point only that somebody must be held accountable for the disaster. as many americans here that we saw at the end of august at the airport and couple people are upset because they're senior leaders, let them down. and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we messed this up. i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever, but i am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bargain airfield strategic air berries. before we evacuate everyone, i am submitting charges against general mckenzie for his bad assumptions. not because i've been dated, but because the senior leaders need to be held accountable to the same standard as us. of course, what are the things that pushed him to do? this is the, the, the terrorist attack, the on the input of garbled and 26th of august. it was a, it was
10:19 am
a mess. there were almost 200 people killed. many of them as we later found out due to bullet wounds rather than damage from shrapnel or the explosion itself. ultimately, the, the afghan scandal isn't over yet. no holds of congress in the white house. we will see more hearings. there will be more question or questions us, but it is still a surprising to many americans, including obviously she had sheila, the 2 day, no, i represented of the pentagon or the white house has been flood or has resign of their own volition. over this disastrous evacuation, everybody has admitted that yes mistakes were made, but to date nobody has decided to bear responsibility for what happened there and cobble. all right, which is mariah garcia. we appreciate your unique and experience and your voices and answers some of the questions. but we know
10:20 am
a lot more coming and we know that you'll stay on top of it as they come through. thanks. i switching gears now. transport workers in italy are threatening strike action over a new coven, green pass system. starting today. all workers will have to show proof of vaccination or a negative cobit test or go without pay. the government's decision comes despite the relatively low nationwide inspection rate of a $3000.00 per day with around 40 daily debt. among those who are unhappy about the dream, patterson, our workers at one of europe's major ports in a few 1000 protesters have gathered outside the fort, threatening to disrupt its operation. now the vaccination rate among the port workers is presently at 40 percent and those still not, not deleted, are said to be against coercive policy. for based on we are here to protest against the green fasfa workers would think that the green fuss is an unlawful tool,
10:21 am
an improper one that should not be forced upon the workers because it is discriminatory. so we are demonstrating against this government decree to del constitution as being trampled on what is happening today is like back in 1938, i say no to this discrimination to that, but they're steeping close to vite. we're not looking for confrontation, both openness and opportunity for reasoning. here we are talking about economic recovery, but whose economic recovery have families left it more in crisis. those who previously could not make until the end of the month now find themselves an average of $200.00 to $300.00 euros less from having to pay for the testimony. mass rallies are planned and several italian cities throughout this friday and police are bracing for a repeat of ah, despite the public outcry, the italian government is refusing to back down. it has already met the national 80
10:22 am
percent target for vaccinations, meaning heard immunity has been achieved, but the government wants to go further. artie shaw davinsky has more on the public resistance to covet measures across europe. when italy's government last month sworn that they would bring in the new green card, no pay decree, it expected the announcement to trigger an enormous acceleration of vaccinations. however, that has not materialized while job rates didn't initially increase the has since been a steep decline. and with around 2500000 workers still unvaccinated, there are concerns, more violent rallies could ensue. italians are not the only ones who have been taking to the streets to express their anger. hearing france weekly protests against health passes and mandatory vaccination of health workers are continuing.
10:23 am
there's a concern that those protests could be about to get a boost to after francis government. and now that it wants to extend the use of health policies up until possibly the summer of 2022 already voices of discontent. arising faculty to pakistan. and they're not going to have a carte blanche until the 31st of july 2020 to parliament must decide it's an attack on freedom's individual and collective freedoms. in a parliamentary democracy, it can only be done through parliament. those plans by the french government also seem to be in contrast to advice that was recently given by the countries own scientific council. it suggested that it to covey situation remains under control. health passes could be dumped fast sooner in this scenario. the cobra past system could be canceled between november the 15th and the end of the year. if there are low case levels nationally. it's
10:24 am
a waiting phase in order to prepare to cancel the pass system, which would allow us to limit the risk and scale of a possible new wave in december, january. adding fuel to the fire form friday in france, test to show that your coven negative will no longer be for you, for those who are vaccinated. another carrot and stick kamesia perhaps. but the issue isn't specifically about the covert jab, the coated pandemic is seen governments across europe flip flopping on policy, ignoring advice, it's come from their own scientific advisors. and all of these test, perhaps deepened divisions, enact many in europe, wondering if a governments are really working in their best interests show that even sky. i'll see paris. we spoke with conservative commentator francesco, your billing, he thinks that italy's mandatory green passes will sever society and crash the
10:25 am
economy. we are the only country, not only europe, but the only country, all over the ward, where you must have the so called green pass to, to go to work. and it does use quite the irrational without the green fast. you can enter in a restaurant without the green pass, you can enter in a hotel without a green pass. you can think i'd be trained, for example, if you want to move from rama to me or from aroma. napoli with an i is b train. you can keep the, if you don't have the green path, what is happening in our country and i think is very dangerous. also from a social point of view is that we are creating some teachers in the are the ac, didn't and other than without the vaccines, the 1000 b c disease. and he's not correcting the democracy. milan is the 2nd cp immediately, and the 25 percent of the work inside the public transportation in atlanta. they don't have vaccine, they don't have the green pass. so probably they're going to paralyze the public transportation in milano, but we can also talk about the logistics system,
10:26 am
not only that part of it, but also in the south completed. there are many big bar and other logistic important industry where the 2015 percent of the workers that they don't have seen . so we have to decide what to do. we can stop our, our economy, and we don't understand why, how government piece pushing reason music is very strongest. facebook, c, e o. mark zuckerberg may have used his vast wealth to swing the 2020 presidential election in jo biden's favor this according to a study for the new york post. researchers found that his donations to electoral organizations heavily favored left leaning districts in swing states that the democrats ended up winning. the 2020 election was stolen, it was likely bought by one of the wealth, wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes. he funded to targeted private takeover of government election operations by nominally non partisan but the most of the ideological nonprofit organizations. we should
10:27 am
stress that there is no suggestion of illegality in zocker, berg's donations. and the facebook boss himself says he only gave to non partisan organizations last month, priscilla and i donated $300000000.00 to support election officials with the infrastructure they need to administer the vote. today we're committing an additional $100000000.00 to make sure that every jurisdiction that needs funding to help people vote safely can get us. the report has infuriated republicans who cares the facebook boss of electron meddling. joe zocker burke, he spent over $400000000.00 through these quote, non profits to quote help with election administration. but what they would do is they would require certain things to be done like mass mail balloting bout harvey things. and they would focus on partisan voter turnout basically that was totally
10:28 am
unacceptable. aro elections for sale, did mark zuckerberg purchase the wisconsin presidential election? all right, one of the main beneficiaries of the facebook funding was the center for electron innovation and research. and it has hit back at the claims saying it was proud to assist both republicans and democrats in the election journalist daniel lazar, thanks. private funding plays a pivotal role in the outcome of american elections. this is the privatization of elections. and when you privatize elections, essentially you undermine their neutrality and their objectivity. so it's very possible that this money helps steer voters at a certain direction and help determine the outcome of the election. the electoral process from the u. s. is a mess. this is the only country where this takes place. election should be entirely government funded. they should be entirely neutral and objective. they
10:29 am
should not favor any party whatsoever. and there's no reason to have an injection of private money of this magnitude that should be reform process. but it's just not going to happen because the system is completely broken and it's totally out of control. that is it for me this hour i will be back in about 30 minutes with another full and fresh look at your news. this is our t international. the long when i would show the wrong one, i just don't the room. yes. to see out the scene because after an engagement equals the trail went to many find themselves worlds apart and we choose to look for common ground.
10:30 am
ah, there is other places to play, but also within the daniels trulia, the little fish with the rest of the whistle, castile with their mother liquors. melissa was assumable. it was just to say that in then you would you that is images both of those up was good for supposedly good . have my dear some i would say again has been music. his image is filica mom. it's much closer to home. was out of the to get the vote if i give you with all of your rooms there some way up, all of the fella he was right if you didn't sleep.
