south and which is just outside of central london when a young man wielding a knife run into the methodist church attacks. the veteran politician and of course subsequently, murdering him at that point, an ambulance attended to the c. u. a power medics treated him to see where he was fighting for his life. but tragically he passed away. jo, being confirmed at around 3 p. m. the incident, as i say, happened some hours before that and the police have released a statement about this incident saying that a suspect of 25 year old man has now been arrested. they are saying that they are not looking for anybody else in relation to this incident, suggesting that the suspect was acting alone. and this is not a live incident, but it's certainly a closed matter. we don't know anything about the suspect, other than the fact that he is a 25 years of age. we don't know his motivation nor his thinking behind this
11:03 am
incident since the news of his passing just an hour ago. so we've seen tributes and statements pouring in across the political spectrum a bit about. so david amos then as he's 69, he was a husband and father to 5 children. he spent 4 decades, at least in politics in the united kingdom, holding his seats in since 1997. now people in the local community have been flocking to social media saying that absolutely heart broken. they felt that he really was a member of parliament that put that positionings in their thoughts and passion really as a full front of his own politics. they say that he use his parliamentary platform to advocate for them. now many people are also calling for more security and safety procedures and policies and measures as full members of parliament. of course,
11:04 am
this is not the 1st time that such a tragic incident has taken place. this is the 2nd m p that has lost their lives in just 5 years. of course we cost online back to have another very doc moment in british history went by jo clocks, a member of parliament was stabbed, and shot to death at back in 2016. not just 2 incidents in 5 years. so many, many questions moving forward. how to protect members of parliament. obviously, it is a very harrowing incident. violent and then today, a complete shot. the nation as now and the investigation is underway. radar chase shot edwards joshua, and we know that as more information comes available you will stay on top of it for us. thanks for that. and now in moscow tack and afghanistan has reportedly killed 37 with more than 70 injured in the blast and a bit of a warning you may find the following images disturbing. the explosion happened at a sheer mosque in the city of kandahar. during the weekly friday prayer,
11:05 am
a large crowd had gathered there. the taliban says that it has launched an investigation. today's blast comes a week after an explosion tore through another sheer mosque in the north of the country. 50 people were killed back then with even more injured islamic state. correson claimed responsibility for that attack. our 2 contributor richard met hurst looks back at what happened a week ago, asking why islamic state is intensifying its activities in the country. last week, 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 the you group muslim from china's changing province. this is very interesting because you girls are indeed minority muslim
11:06 am
population in china. usually the only thing you hear about them is that the chinese government is committing genocide against them. blue something the media i haven't told you. there are indeed many ogres in afghanistan, militants who are members of various jo, hottest groups like al qaeda arises there actually. so many of them, the united nations, put out a report in june about foreign fighters in of janice. then the report estimates that there are between 8010000 foreign terrorist fighters, comprised mainly of individuals from central asia, the north caucasus region of the russian federation, pakistan and the shin, january thomas 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
11:07 am
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 gannons, dan, syria, speaking of syria, there are 5000 uga terrorists over there, fighting alongside other jaundice. 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 that most of its truth of withdrawn in the united states is shifting its focus from them, at least to china. us wants to keep china's border with janice, n as unsafe as possible, and a constant worry by tacitly endorsing. for 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,
11:08 am
create chaos, divide and conquer. but the united states is making a huge mistake once again. dislike they back the majority 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 about someone's blowing themselves up and 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, stan or anywhere for that matter is a really bad idea. they did it in the 1980s. they back been loudon. it came back to bite them. it always does, and this is no exception. earlier we asked a political analyst, chris bemberry, and anti war activist brian becker, what the american anti terror operation achieved for afghanistan to decades. american read occupation has increased the number of to harvest groups increased
11:09 am
though or to high. despite us on the growing, the afghan is done as a reaction soon what the americans did to could indiscriminate killing of civilians by drawing the bombing at sides. therefore, i don't think we should hold off the american presence as be forced to stability in afghanistan. it actually de, stabilize the country across the board. and it rebuilt support the tower. but the main point on makers is that the americans are not part of a solution in afghanistan. they were part of the problem. let's remember the big picture, the context. when the united states invaded afghanistan on october 7th, 2001, there was no isis. the whole war i'm terror by the united states, which is included the death of 250000 afghans during the past 20 years. and that has created that has created that has been the trigger or the catalyst for the further expansion of ice is, or ice is like formations. so from a on its face,
11:10 am
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 phenomenon. to staying with the fall out of the u. s. withdraw from afghanistan, a u. s. marina has been sentenced after pleading guilty to disobeying his superiors by criticizing the military leadership for the way they handled the exit. however, he remains adamant. army chiefs are made accountable. 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 scandals. it does. it's best to deter for those who would start scandals and if it's squashes scandals out, sometimes in a very harsh way. so it was surprising that instead of a paths, jail time, perhaps
11:11 am
a dishonorable discharge. all he was sentenced to was a $5000.00 fun, which will be dogged from his wages next month, as well as a letter of reprimand. there's 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 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 canisters. i did what i did because i thought it was in the best long term interest of the marine corps going forward. i'm still demanding accountability. there were those who supported him. who said that, yes, this evacuation was completely humiliating. it was insulting to all the americans that sacrificed their lives who owe their health in order to fight that born of
11:12 am
canister and for america to leave in such a manner. it was absolutely tragic. there were also those that said that he should 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. but ultimately, over the course of all these videos that we saw a released by him in the build up to this trial. he was making $1.11 point only that somebody must be held accountable for the disaster. as many americans he, it that we saw at the end of august at the airport and cobbled 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 bob graham airfield, the strategic air berries before we evacuate everyone. i am submitting charges
11:13 am
against general mckenzie for his bad assumptions, not because i've been did, but because the senior leader he to be held out to the same standard as us the terrorist attack the on the input of gobble and the 26th of august. it was, it was a mess. there were almost 200 people killed. everybody has admitted that yes, mistakes were made. but to date, nobody has decided to bear responsibility for what happened there and cobbled watching our international mourners for you after a short break. stay with us. ah ah
11:14 am
11:15 am
ah, well come back. this is our t international. now transport workers in italy are threatening strike action over a new coven, green pass system. starting today, all workers have to show proof of vaccination or a negative coverage test or go without pay the government's decision comes despite a relatively low nationwide infection rate of $3000.00 per day with around 40 daily deaths among those who are unhappy about the green pass system, our workers at one of europe's major ports in korea. a few 1000 protesters have gathered outside the port, threatening to disrupt its operation. the vaccination rate among the port workers is presently at 40 percent, and those still not inoculated are said to be against coercive policy
11:16 am
phones we're here to protest against the green fast food workers within the green pass is an unlawful tool and improper one that should not be forced from the workers because it is criminal tree. so we are demonstrating against the government to the constitution is being trampled on. what is happening today is like i can 900 a nice say no to the discrimination that deepening class divide. we're not looking for confrontation, both openness and opportunity for reasoning. here we are talking about economic recovery, but whose economic recovery farming less even more in crisis. those who previously could not make it until the end of the month now find themselves in our region $200.00 or 300 years less from having to pay for their testimony. and happening right now, a demonstration in the italian capital, thousands have gathered to voice their anger at the obligatory passes. a similar rally in rome last weekend saw violence classes with police. this one though seems to be going peacefully. now despite the public outcry, the italian government is refusing to back down,
11:17 am
it has already met the national 80 percent target for vaccinations, meaning that heard immunity has been achieved. but the government wants to go further or to charlotte. davinsky has more on the public resistance to cover measures across europe. when italy's government last month warned that it 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.
11:18 am
there's a concern that those protests could be about to get a boost to after francis government announced that it wants to extend the use of health passes up until possibly the summer of 2022 already voices of discontent. arising faculty to pakistan. do they're not going to have a carte blanche until the 31st of july 2022 to parliament must decide it's an attack on the freedoms individual and collective freedoms in parliamentary democracy. it can only be done through parliament of all 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 p dumped far sooner. in this scenario. the cobra pass system could be canceled between november the 15th and the end of the year. if
11:19 am
there are low case levels nationally. it's a waiting phase in order to prepare to cancel the pass system, which will 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 covert negative will no longer be free for those who are vaccinated. another carrot and stick measure, perhaps. but the issue isn't specifically about the coven job. the coping pandemic is seen government across europe flip flopping on policy, ignoring advice. it's come from their own scientific advisors and all of these says perhaps deepened divisions. in fact, many in europe wondering if a government are really working in their best interests. charlotte, even sky, i'll see paris. we spoke with conservative commentator, francesco job dealer. he thinks italy's mandatory green passes will sever society
11:20 am
and crash the economy. we are the only country, not only europe, but the only country all over the world where you must have the so called green pass to, to go to work. and it does use quite the irrational without the green pass. you can't 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 think of if you don't have the green car, 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. this are the ac didn't and as of today, without the vaccine, the 1000 b c. and he's not correcting the democracy, learned the 2nd sci fi immediately, and the 25 percent of the work inside the public transportation in land. they don't have the vaccine. they don't have the green pass, so probably they're going to paralyze the public transportation in milano. but we
11:21 am
can also talk about the logistics system, not only the part of to ask that, but also in the south of there are many big parking and other logistic important industry where the 2015 percent of the workers that they don't have the vaccine. so we have to decide what to do, we can stop our, our economy, and we don't understand why our government is pushing these music is very strongest . the russian military has blocked. and the alleged attempt by u. s. worship to violate russian territorial waters in the sea. of japan, alleged to incursion by the armored u. s. ship came as russia and china were doing joint naval exercises. russian action to maneuver the ship away came amid us signals. it was to continue its course. the russian defense ministry says that the incident was a severe violation of international rules for preventing collisions at sea. meanwhile, the russian military vessel warned the u. s. destroyer about in admissibility of
11:22 am
such actions. 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 the targeted private takeover of government election operations by nominally non partisan but the most of the ideological nonprofit organizations. we should stress that there is no suggestion of illegality and succor bergs 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
11:23 am
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 it. the report has inferior rated republicans who accused the facebook boss of election meddling zocker burke. he spent over $400000000.00 to these quote nonprofits to quote help with election administration . but what they would do is they would require certain things to be done, like mass mail, balloting, ballot, harvey things, and they would focus on partisan voter turnout basically that was totally unacceptable. our elections for fail did mark soccer birth purchase, the wisconsin presidential election. one of the main beneficiaries of the facebook funding was the center for election innovation and research. and it has hit back at the claims saying,
11:24 am
it was proud to assist both republicans and democrats in the election journalist daniel lazar things private funding plays a pivotal role in the outcome of american elections. this is the privatization of election. and when you privatize elections, essentially you undermine their neutrality and their objectivity. so it's very possible that this money helps your voters in a certain direction and help determine the outcome of the election. the electoral process from us 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 should not favor any party whatsoever. and there's no reason to have an injection of private money of this magnitude. there 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. us judge has ruled that a jail violated the rights of
11:25 am
a suspect in the capitol hill, riots by denying him medical treatment. christopher world is being held in a washington dc detention facility on multiple criminal charges over his role in the january 6 the riots he has a form of blood cancer and broke his wrist while in custody. in may, the doctor prescribed surgery which is still not being provided. after reviewing the case, the federal judge held prison officials in civil contempt and branded the delay in treatment inexcusable. i find that the civil rights of the defendant have been abused. i don't know if it's because he's a january 6 defendant or not, but i find this matter should be referred to the attorney general of the united states for a civil rights investigation into whether the dc department of corrections is violating the civil rights of january 6 defendants in this and may be other cases we spoke with attorney albert watkins who was representing several suspects in the capitol hill. right. he says the case is part of an overall disrespect shown towards the detainees or incidence,

trying to stop congress from certifying jo biden's election victory out of the original number 78 are still in jail tending trial most on charges of assaulting police officers. after the federal ruling, the d. c. corrections department responded, saying it is committed to ensuring all inmates have access to health care in a timely and efficient manner. but albert watkins again believes the problems go far beyond a lack of medical care. and so when you have these individuals with no history are being confined in dc and over with restrictions in place and personnel who are working in making the lives of those dependent people. we're simply not taking those measures necessary to fully protect them from others who i can find it. it traverses from confined
