oh, the challenge is its own member states over migrant crackdown 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 withdrawal. i think this is one of the few instances where by and, and trump agree on policy both wanted to get out of afghanistan and extreme cold sky high prices and a shipping boom. our correspondent visits a once derelict town in russia's arctic, far east. that has been given a boost by cutting edge nuclear technology. ah,

quite casting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international . i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you. with right now, 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, archie shaw. davinsky has the story. the issue is having to hang its head in shame over the way its border forces are treating my grants just trying to cross into the block. this is no longer just about fortress europe, an extensive fence building and surveillance systems that are being put in place on its eastern borders. know, in recent weeks, more concerning incidents over the way that my grants are treated to have been

exposed in croatia, 3 border police officers have been suspended of being filmed violently pushing back people at the border. 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. mm hm. now in lithuania, more violations have been reported. the use 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,

serious insta reports for the suspicion of the violation of fundamental rights. and with you ania le gary 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 crossing. now lithuania is interior minister says my grants have to enter at certain points. we have taken decisions on national law that one can only until su ania through a legal way that is through a border checkpoint, 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 shrinking voters code that says people seeking asylum cannot be forced back against their will calls on. now coming from the highest ranks for action,

shocking finding solid reports had to long line of reports, an unacceptable normalization of push backs violence, fierce asylum seekers and migrants. high time for the counselor of europe, states to investigate effectively. take action, hold each other to account, and such serious human rights violations. half words, yet all they to little too late. these allegations of migrants, refugees being beaten robe to mistreated and forced back over the eastern borders illegally. not knew nor have the blue, particularly happening in sequence, 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 you to one to promote, to overly broad moder. we've open society in the past, they wanted to legalize immigration more and to shut e for e,

v r refugees. but to population are, are hostile to any more or to more immigration. and this is why you were we left to demonstrate that each it promotes you was strong or extra extra on our board us. otherwise the national, both of us will be more and more erected on strength front like you're like in your own. gary, this is the trends more immigration is seen as a security problem because of islamist in fiji. crating. so it's more and more sensitive subject a suicide bombing at 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, but of a warning you may find the following images disturbed. explosions

ripped through the shia mosque during the friday prayers when a large crowd of worshippers was gathered inside, the taliban government says that it has launched an investigation. eye witnesses describe the scene for suicide bombers. and the explosion happened when we were at afternoon pres into suicide. bomb is wanted to come inside, our gods confronted them at the door, the crashes began, and our gods kill 2 of them. but yeah, the 2 suicide bombers went inside and blew themselves up. fridays! tragedy came a week after an explosion to add another sheer mosque in northern afghanistan. at least 50 people were killed and the same extremist group, isis k claimed that attack as well. this all comes at mid a rapid security meltdown in the wake of the taliban takeover and us pull out. we managed to get some unique insights on afghanistan from a men who served in the bush administration at the time of the us invasion. and then later, as donald trump's security advisor,

john bolton was the guest on archie is going underground. we will be showing the full interview throughout the day. but here's 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 of the deal may not become apparent until after trump leaves office. what is your assessment? as a former national security adviser of the, by the administration, the 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, what biden did was take trump's deal, which was flawed in many, many respects, and essentially adopted it as his own policy, disregard of the advice of senior advisors and the pentagon, the state department,

the white house, and i think the consequences have been playing to see that return 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 believed in since at least 2009 se, se, ironically, trump, the, we've done it to, i think it's a mistake for the u. s. and it's a mistake for stability. certainly, it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan, russia daily death toll from coven 19 has surged beyond 1000 for the 1st time. since the start of the pandemic and case numbers are rising fast, especially here in the capitol, which is to meet your power brings us more. well, it seems 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

the last 24 hours. over $33000.00 new cases have been confirmed throughout the country by 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 cove deaths. there's been since the start of the pandemic now in terms of the numbers are 6 and a half 1000 of 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 most mass rapid testing is spreading across europe. moscow is also involved in this experiment. we've opened 20 testing points in the capitals, documents 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

ways to shield yourself. from this disease, it's especially important for the elderly. now the testing campaign has also sprecher several schools, where students can now to receive the free express covered test. however, authorities say that testing is only the 1st step and that the kingery into 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 reports 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 had at least received their 1st jap. 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 fit events that

transaction, in addition to restrictions all aimed at trying to curb the rise of numbers and that's throughout the country. the u. k is one of the countries worst hit by the fuel crisis. and billionaire, jim radcliffe, who has a major chemicals firm, is warning that it could cause an industrial shut down. and while oil and gas prices shoot up, there's also another headache, an acute lack of truck drivers. the british government is now relaxing visa rules for you. drivers in a bid to bring back some of the thousands who left after briggs in the shortage has throttled supplies to petrol stations, and supermarkets and brought freight to a standstill at major ports. the chancellor richie sooner insist that everything is under control. well i tell people, be reassured that we've got somebody, everything we can to mitigate the challenges. they are global in nature. so we can't fix every single problem. don't i feel confident that they'll be good

provision of goods for everybody. and we are working our way to remove blockages where we can. we spoke with tom barris 1st, who runs a company making wine storage systems. he broke down the factors now threatening industries across the u. k. nothing we what was fighting at the moment, did you can mark it is a perfect so why we've got 3 factors coming together. we've got lingering impact on seed of the past 18 months under various closures of golf. the policy industry on off nature blogs, we've got the ongoing impacts and challenges. an administrative doesn't have a complexity that brings in terms of employ for bringing goods into the market. and when you bring that in fact, which is the availability of k y, where we're interested in why did all business, why over the last couple of years, climate, even backs have come together to severely out harvests. so when you bring those 3

things together, you've got less wine available, and you've got a huge logistics challenge. you have to get into the country, practice it, and you've got the delicate recovery phase, all the hospitality industry, post bruckner. i think that's what's causing such challenge in other world news, protesters calling for constitutional reform in chile were met by heavy headed police resistance, the protest mark of the upcoming anniversary of a series of demos in chile coined social outbreak, developed to try to counter what they see, as states lead social inequality and protests in paris over better working conditions for fire fighters, thousands demanded better pay better resources and additional protection on the job . right? police were out in numbers closely following the march field to come to the program . and we will take you on a journey to russia's extreme north, where

a floating nuclear power plant is breathing new life into a coastal town. that is after a short break, this is our international ah ah, with

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i'll see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk a little while come back. this is our g international. now i'm going to step aside for a bit, but for a very good reason, we have a special report about a remote town in russia's eastern arctic. it's 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 at northern shipping route or cheese constantine

brush cough made the long journey to perfect. oh, 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 place used to be a ghost hour. i was want to rushes bustling, seaports along the northern sea route. the country's ambitious project in the arctic aim to reshape international trade. the vic is also the sight of a daunting experiment which made it the 1st city 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?

yes, i don't have dinner. i'm on the diet. green onions. 16 through s dollars. some parts of the city didn't look like a ghost out. the snow still turned 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, leading to perfect. your only options would be ice breakers or airplanes. while we're not into that yet, but we're already tired of traveling. ha has been what's 24? no. over 24 hours is for left. 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 lack

a 2 hour fly to pick on one on the soviet era there place with the a and $28.00 that took us to pay back have the smallest restroom i've ever been and but no complaints were, were going, it's not about comfort. flew one of the 1st things that strike you in perfect 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 coloring buildings, an orange or pink,

is probably not the worst idea. the next notorious for harsh with, but it's not just about the cold. a. zach is actually so ferocious there are videos of people falling over and rolling across the street not being able to stand up with a local resident soya soccer shows of her winter outfit. he mink fur coat, she knows animal advocates won't like it and she doesn't care in perfect. if you are not dress warm enough since you die, you shouldn't have burned the nurse. now cold,

can it be in winter and today the temperature drops as low as minus 45 minus put 8 degrees celsius, gets very cold and you still go out on the street. of course, harsh climate dictates every aspect of the events life. let me show you something because of the permafrost, most of the cities communications run above ground and are hidden inside concrete boxes like this one right here. and this also became a popular alternative for regular sidewalks which some times are impassable, especially in winters i. so as they say one in rome, or in perfect, we're gonna hop on one of the communication lines and get around like real locals. most of the residential buildings, intellect have been built and 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 is a building, in fact that has empty glass bottles fit right into the walls 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 god, 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, was gold, another precious metals that attracted people and turned the place into an arctic blue town initially to vac was a place at least 3 glock hands. cheap labor 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 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, 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 the buildings . the new people leave something behind the wilderness claims. it almost as if there is a message and gets his 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 a new church has been black. so there is lives 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 herself on the map as a side of a daunting experiment. it's the 1st city in the world that lives off 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 saint petersburg and then moved to pivot by sea. it turned out to be way cheaper and easier than bringing thousands of constrain in workers and 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, but sticky system of only the top i was brought up on everyone is concerned said on the motive there is a c store or is to nami, what's going to happen to atomic reactor said, remember the acronym is dish or exit florida. is that a stress tests were conducted because it was showed that even if a phenomena rentals off our morning line lawyer and we get carried ashore on those boards, our safety is still insured. and radiation emissions will be presented academic issues in 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 extra lines and cold 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 coal power plant. we can see this plan right from here.

pacific 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 perfect. 2 ladies working at the library 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 yet, although i really want them. but i rarely buy cheese ish because it costs a 101200 rou. gulshan rarely by hand because it's also real expensive. what did you eat for dinner yesterday? yeah, i don't have deer. i'm on the diet. the next rated among russia's 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 than say in 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 tire shop. now this one, garlic 15 us dollars per kilo, and it's just for maybe 5 times more. i've been saying masika where i live and that's one my favorite, it's green orleans $16.00 for one piece. busy insane each time here in the know we usually eat frozen food. if you look here, you can see that everything is in the freezer, very deaf 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 that is a small and close knit committee of law. you were there 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. he owe money to the store. if you've lived next to someone for 20 years, and now they still live here with us, then you can say there's no escape from the submarine. they'll come and take what they need to day and another day they'll return the money for the real disaster for prevent because when a supply she doesn't come on time saying because of bad weather. therefore, some local shops break the law by not getting rid of expired products, just in case this is box right here. it's part in june. look, though it's 5 months ago, but i just bought it with a 50 percent. it's a common thing in the deck when we show the expired juice box to protect the 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 the vet can be supplied regularly. all year round, we have appropriate items and shops, or we don't always have on a shop owners from augusta sources or former. we have a supply period from june to november, fulfill most of the fresh groceries will come closer to the end of this period comes. when would it, gus are possible 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. no mex, nationality. people are actually friends with each other here. this dore gold and

expensive here. yeah, i love my town. very much. honestly. i gave birth to to amazing boys and i've met the man of my life. headache has given me a lot of what makes people staying this down to lead. if nobody knows and looked at if everyone wants to move to the mainland, but they come back cut off. so now that you've been, hey, you'll come back as well. congratulations with the new revolutionary power plant, which brings jobs and higher salaries. things begin to look up for the city, but it's not electricity per se, that makes things change. it's the people. and that's the true power of vac in russia's arctic. ah ah

ah ah, that also for eric from identified 2 types of freedom, freedom from and freedom to. and while we all idealize the lesser achieving the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day in age. this is especially true for africa, which for centuries has been exploited under all sorts of pretext. what needs to happen with the continent a truly take its deserve place in the world.
