we still with d. o challenges its own member states over migrant crackdowns and saying violent push backs on boarders may be illegal. we hear from a former us national security advisor, john fulton, who shares his thoughts on the chaotic afghan withdraw. i think this is one of the few instances where by and in trump agree on policy both wanted to get out of afghanistan and extreme cold and sky high prices and shipping boom. our correspondent visits, 8th, once derelict town in russia's arctic, far east. that has been given a boost by cutting edge nuclear technology ah
11:01 am
. broadcasting live to read from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. the european union is challenging its own member states over the way they are pushing back migrants trying to enter the block. in the latest development, the u. home affairs commissioner summoned the envoys from 3 eastern states, calling the situation on their borders. dyer ortiz, charlotte davinsky, picks up the story. the issue is having to hang its head in over the way its board of forces are treating migrants just trying to cross into the block. this is no longer just about fortress europe and the extensive fence building and surveillance systems that are being put in place on its eastern borders. know in recent weeks, more concerning incidence over the way that my grants are treated to have been exposed in croatia,
11:02 am
3 border police officers have been suspended of being filmed violently pushing back people at the buddha. ah and that's not just confined to croatia, greek border officers are also subject to investigations over hundreds of cases of alleged push backs. are now in lithuania, more violations have been reported. the news own board, the chief admitting the problem was wider than previously known. there are, if i remember correctly. now, 17 almost 20. let's say,
11:03 am
serious insta reports for the suspicion of the violation of fundamental rights. matthew ania, mcgary went on to say the reason was down to how lithuanian law was being interpreted. and the question was, was that compatible with e you legislation? now lithuania is currently a hot spot for migrant crossings. now lithuania is interior minister says my grants have to enter at certain points. we have taken decisions in national laws that one can only until su ania through a legal way that is through a border check point, or by filing their request with our embassy. but these all relatively new rules only adopted in the past few months and the rule appears to be on a collision course with the e u, so called shing borders code that says people seeking asylum cannot be forced back against their will. calls are now coming from the highest ranks for action.
11:04 am
shocking finding. so late reports had to long line of reports, an unacceptable normalization of pushback, violence fierce asylum seekers and migrants. hi, time for the counselor of europe, states to investigate effectively. take action, hold each other to account, and such serious human rights violations was half words, yet all they too little too late. these allegations of migrants, refugees being beaten rob to mistreated and forced back over the eastern borders illegally. not new nor have they blew, particularly happening in secrets, leaving many to believe that the e u itself may have essentially been complicit for not having already taken more concrete action. all this to, to one to promoter liberal moder. we've opened society in the past. they wanted to legalize immigration more and his surely e for e v,
11:05 am
our refugees are but to population or are hostile to any more to more immigration. and this is why you were left to demonstrate that it promotes you was strong or extra extra on our board us. otherwise the national board us will be more and more erected on strength front like you're like, can you, hungary, this is the trends. more. immigration is as the security problem, because islamist in creating saw is more and more sensitive subject. the suicide bombings of a mosque in afghanistan has left almost 50 people dead and dozens injured. the terrorist group isis k has claimed responsibility for the attack in kandahar and a bit of a warning. you may find the following images disturbing, explosions ripped through the shia mosque during the friday prayers when
11:06 am
a large crowd of worshippers was gathered inside. the taliban government says that it has launched an investigation, eye witness accounts described scene for suicide bombers. and the explosion happened when we were at afternoon chris to suicide from one to god confronted with county. and i got killed 2 of them. the other 2 suicide bombers went inside and fridays tragedy came a week after the explosion at another. she unmasked in northern afghanistan. at least 50 people were killed. and the same extreme, it's group group isis k claims that attack as well. it's all comes mid of rapid security meltdown in the wake of the telephone take over an u. s. bullet. we managed to get some unique insights on i've got to stand from a man who served in the bush and ministration at the time of the us invasion. and later as donald trump's security advisor,
11:07 am
john bolton was the guest on our team is going underground. we will be showing the full interview throughout the day, but here is a preview. you say in your book the room where it happened, the afghanistan deal that's trumps one time will prove who is right. and the full extent to the deal may not become apparent until after trump leaves office. what is your assessment as a former national security advisor, a fee by the administration foreign policy, especially on afghanistan? well, i think this is one of those few instances where biden and trump agree on on policy both wanted to get out of afghanistan and both ignored the consequences. i think many people thought were foreseeable when biden did was take trumps deal, which was flawed in many, many respects, and essentially adopted it as his own policy disregarded the advice of senior advisors and the pentagon, the state department, the white house,
11:08 am
and i think the consequences have been plain to see it returned to afghanistan to control by the taliban and everything that's flowing from that, including the likelihood of foreign terrorist returning and again using afghanistan is based plan terrorist operations around the world. so this is a retreat by the united states, from the international stage, something by and believe then since at least 2000, i say say, ironically, trump wave dana to i think it's a mistake for the u. s. i think it's a mistake for stability. certainly, it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan. russia daily death toll from co 19 has surged to beyond 1000 for the 1st time. since the start of the pandemic and case numbers are rising fast, especially here in the capitol ortiz to meet your power brings us more. well, i've seen that despite all the efforts by the russian government to try and curve the spread of the corona virus, the numbers unfortunately continue to grow and are even reaching record levels over
11:09 am
the last 24 hours. over $33000.00 new cases have been confirmed throughout the country, 9 percent of which were apparently asymptomatic, but a new morbid record was established over a 1000 deaths were reported. it's the highest number of daily covey debts there's been since the start of the pandemic. now in terms of the numbers, 6 and a half 1000, the new cases were reported from moscow where authorities recently launched 20 new centers where people can get free express covered tests. that's in addition to the vaccination sites throughout the city, which authorities, they are the key to battling the karone of ours. you look where must mass rapid testing is spreading across europe. moscow is also involved in this experiment. we've open 20 testing points in the capitals document, centers and shopping malls, and we will open 30 more points on october. the 18th to cover the broader population. again, i'm calling on everybody to get to not collated because they are currently no other
11:10 am
ways to shield yourself. from this disease, it's especially important for the elderly. now the testing campaign has also spread the several schools where students can now also receive the free express covered test. however, authorities say that testing is only the 1st step and that the king re in to defeating the crone of ours is of course vaccinations. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly highlighted the importance of boosting the vaccination re throughout the country, especially for the sake of those who are at the highest risk of complications from the virus. the health ministry as also come hours report showing that of all the people who have died from the virus, only less than a fraction of a percent were actually vaccinated. once again highlighting the importance of vaccinations. in terms of numbers, at this point, over 51000000 russians have at least received their 1st job. that's about a 3rd of the population and regions continue to introduce more measures to try and curve the spread of the disease. in some cases, introducing mandatory vaccinations for certain groups of citizens that's injection
11:11 am
. and in addition to restrictions all aimed at trying to curb the rise in numbers and that's throughout the country. still to come on our team, we will take you on a journey to russia's extreme north, where a floating nuclear power plant is reading new life into a coastal town. that's after short break. this is our international blue. ah ah ah
11:12 am
join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess when the world of politics spoke. business i'm show business. i'll see you then. while the jig is, ah, president, other latin american country armed with volcano energy is calling out wall street and the whole financier class join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world of politics spoke. business i'm show business. i'll see you then.
11:13 am
oh, well, come back. this is our t international. now i'm going to step aside for a bit, but before i do, i'm gonna talk to you about a remote town in russia's eastern arctic that is experiencing an economic boom after being hooked up to the world's 1st floating atomic power plant. it's now becoming a vital link in the fast growing northern shipping root artes konstantin roscoe made the long journey to perfect better we are in the vic or rushes northern mo city where the main job is to survive cold, extreme weather and hostile environment. when the soviet union collapsed, this life used to be a ghost. yeah. i was want to rushes bustling seaports along the northern thea route
11:14 am
. the country is ambitious project in the arctic aim to reshape international trade . vic, those are the sight of a daunting experiment, which made it the 1st duty in the world powered by floating nuclear reactors. let's see, white life was like russia's atomic boom town. we're like a big family emetic nationality people are actually friends with each other here. let me show you something. what did you eat for dinner yesterday? yeah, i don't have do. i'm on the diet. green onion, 16 west dollars. some parts of the city. it looked like a ghost out. the snow still turns blacks are they make is located in chicago. the country's most eastern region which borders alaska. it's not an island but local, still referred to the rest of russia as the mainland perhaps because of how isolated the field. for instance, there are no permanent roads or railway tracks,
11:15 am
leading to perfect. your only options would be icebreakers or airplanes. while we're not into that yet, but we're already tired of traveling. ha has been what's ah, 24 no. over 24 hours is full f. moscow and we're still flying across russia. first, we flew to another severest than further east to the city of mcgayden. ha. then we had to stay here overnight and now it's our final leg a to our fly, to pick on one on the soviet era. airplanes with the a and 28 that took us to perfect, have the smallest restroom i've ever been int, but no complaints we're, we're going, it's not about comfort. flew
11:16 am
one of the 1st things that strike you intervals is that there are no trees just nothing. the land here is so frozen, nothing grows on it, and that makes the landscape bleak and sadly boring. so to live in things up colouring buildings, an orange or pink is probably not the worst idea. the next notorious for harsh weather. but it's not just about the cold. exactly. exactly. so for those who are videos of people falling over and rolling across the street and i've been able to stand up
11:17 am
with my local residents, enjoy a soccer shows off her winter outfit, a mink fur coat. she knows animal advocates won't like it and she doesn't care intervention if you're not dress warm enough. when you die, you should rafter in the north. now cold in winter and drops as low as minus 45 minus 48 degrees celsius. it's very cold and you still go out on the street, of course not harsh climate to every aspect of life. let me show you something because of the permafrost. most of the cities communications run above ground and are hidden inside concrete
11:18 am
boxes like this one right here. and this also became a popular alternative for regular sidewalks which sometimes are impassable, especially in winters. so as they say one in rome or in the vac, we're going to hop on one of the communication lines and get around like real local news. most of the residential buildings and projects have been built in pilots. the space left between the 1st floor and permanently frozen ground helps to keep houses warm. but it looks like somebody has gone even further in fighting the cold. there was a building in fact that has empty glass bottles paid right into the was and you can literally see this from the outside. this extra layer of air is supposed to save up heat. i've never heard of that technology. i'm not sure if it works and there is no way to check because the building has been abandoned. but i guess if you want to survive into kafka,
11:19 am
you gotta stay creative. the city still keeps lots of soviet era structures and monuments, most of which have been around since the vac was founded in 1930. 0 it was gold, another precious metals that attracted people and turned the place into an arctic boon town. initially to vac was the place of at least 3 glock hands cheap labor and came in handing in the rapidly growing settlement. the collapse of the soviet union had a devastating effect on the deck with almost no support from the mainland. the city quickly lost half of its population and lot of residential buildings were left completely abandoned. some parts of the city still looked like a ghost out. people were so desperate to leave in the 1990. sometimes they traded entire apartments were every plane tickets to moscow. after years of exposure to extreme,
11:20 am
whether there is no way people can live in these houses again. and it's too expensive to tear them down. to what nature has done to these buildings. the mill people leave something behind the wilderness claims. it almost as if there is a message and get him garden or you might be next. how do you feel about the city? does it feel like it's on its death row or the opposite bias in the bottle? i don't know why it's developing not to face the district has been rebuilt completely, that we can see all the new house it's. it's a new power plant was built on and you church has been black. so there is live in connecticut. yes, of course. there is one particular project that breathed new life into the city and how did to move on from the devastation of the 19 ninety's baby i currently put itself on the map as a side of a daunting experiment. it's the 1st city in the world that lives off
11:21 am
a floating nuclear power plant. seriously, this huge thing you see right there is basically a c platform would to submarine style atomic reactors on it. no one has ever done this before. the power plant named academic la monassa, was assembled in st. petersburg and then moved to pivot by c, turned out to be way cheaper and easier. and then bringing thousands of constrain workers, tons of materials to remote region like chicken russia plans on building a small fleet of these floating stations and use them to power remote facilities and maybe even offshore oil and gas platforms. sticky system, the only the top i was was up on everyone is concerned said in the motive there is a c store or is to nami, what's going to happen to atomic reactor said, remember the acronym is this her exit florida is that a stress tests were conducted as it was shown, that even if a chamomile rentals off our morning line only and we get carried ashore with our safety is still ensured and radiation emissions will be presented to caricature in
11:22 am
the water around academic la monassa. we sort seals, which seemed perfectly fine about swimming around the nuclear reactors. people here are hopeful that switching to atomic energy will also reduce to vax reliance on coke, that remains its main source of power. you see the snow still turns black some times because of the emissions that are coming out of the old cold power plant. so you can see this plan right from here. pick in search for one refuge, we came across a local library that's apparently quite popular. mainly because of the extremely slow internet in the city, which makes watching netflix or youtube, a torture and having a poor choice of other entertainment people actually read books and pivot. at 2 ladies working at the library,
11:23 am
gladly offered as hot beverages and for their hearts out on what they love and hate about the city of berkeley store. prices are a heated topic and pivot in august. i read sometimes when i'm in the shop while i look at some items and i think if i can afford them or not yell though, i really want them. but i rarely buy cheese ish because it costs a 101200 repulsion rarely by hand because it's also real expensive. what did you eat for dinner yesterday? yeah, i don't have deer, the diet. the next rated among rushes most expensive cities, which makes sense because 90 percent of goods are shipped from mainland russia. things like food, household items, and clothes, cost way more insane. moscow. just look at the price back here. cucumber. 11 us dollars per kilo made it $11.00 per kilo, and there are just 2 tomatoes left to in the higher shop. now this one garlic 15 us dollars per kilo, and it's just for maybe 5 times more. and then same moscow where i live and that's
11:24 am
one my favorite, it's green onions. busy $16.00 for one piece. insane here in the know we usually eat frozen food. if you look here, you can see that everything is in the freezer, buried version, everything is frozen. if we get fresh groceries, it's when they're brought over biplane, things like sausages or to buy plane. yes, that's crazy. why should keep in mind that because that is a small and close knit committee of law, the worthy 5000 people. and for instance, if a person is short in cash, he can borrow from a shop. see that on assuming copy book, the shopkeeper, quickly put away, it's a hand written list of those. you owe money to the store. if you've live next to someone for 20 years and now they still live here with us,
11:25 am
then you can say there's no escape from the submarine. still come and take what they need to day and another day they'll return the money for the real disaster for vac is when a supply she doesn't come on time say because of bad weather. therefore some local shops break the law by not getting rid of expired products, just in case this box right here, expired in june. look, though it's 5 months ago, but i just bought it with is to percent discount. and it's a common thing in the deck when we show the expired juice box to put eggs, deputy mayor, he scratch, he's had for about a minute. local authorities are aware of the problem, but there is little they can do until project can be supplied regularly. all year round is we have appropriate items in shops, or we don't always have on a shop owners. mcguffey receives a full, whatever we have a supply period from june to november, fulfill most of the press. groceries will come closer to the end of this period. comes when it gets there possible,
11:26 am
and this is how prices are decided because it all gets destroyed and no one wants to have financial losses. i live with the edge of the world is no picnic. if you want to survive in a place like this, you have to stick together a rule that everyone here seems to leave by. we have a different mentality to people on the mainland. we are like a big family metaphor. nationality. people are actually friends with each other here. this door, cold and expensive here. yeah. they love my town very much. honestly. i gave birth to to amazing boys and i've met the men of my life. headache has given me a lot of what makes people stay in the staff. it's been led to pick up. nobody knows that if everyone wants to move to the mainland, but they come back cut off. so now that you think he'll come back as well, congratulations with the new revolutionary power plant, which brings jobs and higher salaries thinks begin to look out for the city. but
11:27 am
it's not electricity per se, that makes things change. it's the people. and that's the true power of be back in russia's arctic. ah oh, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we
11:28 am
should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust rather than fear with the various job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with ah, it's been decade since the fall of spain's fascist regime. but old wound still haven't tailed, your interest in going into none of them the only sort because on the phone with nichol feeding my people to me so i will set, cutting me in the parentheses. me. notice that i just, i think with thousands of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given
11:29 am
away and forced adoption. the late bought about a used young ford fiesta that my own robots. i feel about him and to this day mothers still search for grown children, while adults look in hope for their birth parents. with ah hi, i'm max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. well, the jig is up president of a latin american country armed with volcano energy is calling out wall street and the whole financier class stacy. right max. well, if you don't get it by now,
11:30 am
after 10 years of kaiser report telling you about big coin, you're never going to make it. and g, i naive book kelly, who is the president bow salvador tweeted about in response with cnn piece pushing the fact that markets are near all time highs. wall street just doesn't get it. the earnings are not real. it's just more money being issued with the same amount of stocks. a real crisis is coming in the supply chains. products, ports, fuel ships, trucks, factories, workers, parts resources is right in front of us. right? well, but kelly, president of el salvador, the george washington on the 21st century, is i like to com. he's on to something they're stock prices are only going up because the money printing that's going on behind the scenes. this is why venezuelan stock market it new all time. this is why bob, why in iraq.
