[000:00:00;00] ah, headline stories this hour, the e u challenge is its own member states over migrant cracked guns saying violent pushback. some borders may be legal, despite many saying it's brussels immigration policies, which have led to the survey. also handle the program r t speaks to former us national security adviser, jumbled insurers. his thoughts on the chaotic american withdrawal from afghanistan . i think this is one of the few instances where bind and trump agree on policy both wanted to get out of afghanistan on the extreme cold sky high prices

and the shipping. our correspondent visits at once derelict town and russia's arctic far east spouts been given a boost, courtesy, cutting edge nuclear technology. ah lie from our international new center here in moscow. this is our team. my name is unit only welcome to the program. the 1st ever film crew to shoot a feature movie in orbit, a russian actress and a russian director are about to embark on their return journey to earth. after spending 10 days aboard the international space station. now what we believe is happening right now is the closure of the transfer for how chase between the soyuz m. s. 18 space craft, which the crew will return in. and they now k, which means science module of the russian segment of the international space

station. want to show you some image from earlier as well. we saw the crew bidding farewell to the rest of the i assess crew. the team comprises of russian actress, eulley, parasites, directorate, clim, ship panko, as well as veteran cars. not our leg novit ski, who blasted off into space, specifically to facilitate the process a lot of excitement there isn't there? now the films working title is the challenge. i do know that the plot centers around a female cardiac doctor who's called to go into orbit, perform heart surgery on a cosmic not who got stranded. there are due to a condition further details though of the plot or the type wasn't all fallen. so making per slid on shipping cool. also have the pitching with the day to day running of the space station even helping load the soyuz module with cargo to retrace or they are expected by the way to land back on earth and around 7 hours

from the under correspondence will be on the ground we thing a bike and or close to the room and he has to bring you or the latest you can indeed shoot any for the day to follow what will be or special coverage. so a big, exciting night. coming back to space, the crew, the russian actress russian director their pilot, well, will be, keep me co stops and not 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 home of 1st commissioner summoned the envoys from 3 eastern european countries, calling the situation on their borders. dyer, charlotte davinsky picked up the story for us. 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, 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.

and 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, 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. oh,

by filing their request with our embassy. but these are 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. shocking finding shall h reports her to long line of reports, an unacceptable normalization of pushback, violence, fierce asylum seekers and migrants. high time for the cancer 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 ears, eastern borders, illegally not knew nor have a pool, particularly happening in sequence,

leaving many to believe that the ear itself may have essentially been complicit for not having already taken more concrete action all this to, to one to promoter liberal border. we've opened society in the past. they want you to legalize immigration more and is surely for if they are refugees or but to population or are hostile to any more to more immigration. and this is why you were left to demonstrate that each it promotes you was strong or extra extra on our board us. otherwise, the national board us will be more and more erected and strength front like you're like, can you, hungary, this is the trends. more immigration is in the security problem because of islamist crating. so it's more no,

a sensitive subject moving the program or no, a suicide bombing at a mosque enough. dana stone has left almost 50 people dead and dozens more injured . the terrorist group, isaac k, has claimed responsibility for fried his attack in kandahar warning. you may find the following images, disturbing, explosions ripped through the she and lost out a time when large crowds of worshippers were gathered there. the telephone government said it's launched on investigation. eye witnesses described seeing for suicide bombers. of the explosion happened when we were at afternoon praise. in 2 suicide bombers wanted to come inside our gods. confronted them with the doors, crashes began, and the gods killed 2 of them. but the other 2 suicide bombers went inside and blew themselves up. and yes, we're going to be much, much worse. even the tragedy came a week after an explosion. another she had lost and northern afghanistan. at least 50 people were killed on the same extreme,

the script to give them their full name. as lumnick sate corps as on province claimed south attack, it all comes and then a rapid security melts. in the wake of the taliban take over us for we get some unique insights on the scanner done from a man who served in the bush administration at the time of the us invasion. and later of donald trump security advisor, john bolton spoke to our team, going underground show we will be hearing the fall and view throughout the weekend . here's part of it. 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 adviser of fee by the administration, the foreign policy, especially on afghanistan. well,

i think this is one of those few instances where by and in tromp agree 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 is on policy, disregard of the advice of senior advisers and the pentagon. the state department, the white house, 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 2009 say say, ironically, trump wave dana 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 rushes daily death toll from cove at 19 how serge beyond 1000 for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic, and case numbers, the rising fast, especially here in the capitol ortiz. dimitri polk is across development. 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 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 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 there 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 also 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 iris 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 has also come out with 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 and at least received their 1st job, that's about a 3rd of the population and regions continue 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 . and in addition to restrictions all aimed at trying to curb the rise in numbers and that's throughout the country. dmitri polk, stella had an ard t will take you on a journey to russia's extreme north, where a floating nuclear power plant is breathing new life into

a coastal hedge with well that gig is a rather glad merican entre armed with volcano energy is calling out the wall street and the whole financier class ah, also for eric room, identify 2 types of freedom, freedom, roman freedom too. and while we all idealized alessa, achieving the former, the freedom from use on abuse is no small feat in this day and age. this is especially true for africa, which for centuries has been exploited under all sorts of pretext. what needs to happen, or the continent truly take its deserve place in the world. join

me every 1st bit on the alex simon. sure. and i'll be speaking to guess with the world politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. o quarter of an hour into the program. welcome back. a remote time in russia's eastern arctic is experiencing an economic boone. after being hooked up to the world's 1st floating atomic power plant, it's not becoming a vital link in the rapidly developing northern shipping route ortiz constantino's cough made the long journey to perfect. you're says extended report or we are in a, vic 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 goes down. i was want to rushes bustling seaports along the northern thea route. the country's ambitious project in the arctic aim to reshape international trade project is also the site of a daunting experiment, which made it the 1st city in the world powered by floating nuclear reactors. let's see what life is like. russia's atomic boom town. we are like a big family emetic nationality people are actually friends with each other here. let me show you something. what do you eat for dinner yesterday? yes, i don't have dinner. i'm on the diet. green onions, 16 west dollars, some parts of the city. it looked like a ghost out. the snow snow turned blacks are. ivank 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 muggy, down 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 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 flu 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, the coloring 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. a. zach is actually so ferocious.

there are videos of people falling over in rome, across the street, not being able to stand up with a local resident soya soccer shows of her winter outfit. he menke fur coat. she knows animal advocates won't like it and she doesn't care. in fact, if you're 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 the back, we're gonna hop on one of the communication lines and get around like real locals with most of the residential buildings and projects have been built on pilots. the space left between the 1st floor and permanently frozen ground helps to keep houses warm, but it looks like somebody has got even further in fighting the cold. there was a building in fact that has empty glass bottles fit right into the was mean. 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 to 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 placed in 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. our people

were so desperate to leave in the 1990. sometimes they traded entire apartments were airplane tickets to moscow. after years of exposure to extreme weather, there is no way people can live in these houses again, and it's too expensive to tear them down. to see what nature has done to the buildings. the minute people leave something behind the wilderness claims, it almost as if there is a message and gets his gar down. 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 about? i don't know why it's developing not to face the district has been built completely different. we can see. oh, the new house is it? a new power plant was built on a new church has been black. so there is life in finicky it. 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 1996, the icarus, as they put itself 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 simmering 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 seat. it turned out to be way cheaper and easier than bringing thousands of construe 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 stuckey system. the only way to approach this up on everyone is concerned said in the motive larissa c store or is to nami. what's going to happen to atomic reactor said to them with acronyms. is this her and reported?

is that a stress tests were conducted because we showed that even if a semantic rentals of our morning line molly and we get carried ashore with our safety is still ensured 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 vex reliance on coal that remains its main source of power. you see, the snow still turns black some times because of the emission coming out of the old cold 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 pivot. a 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 vivica in august. i read sometimes when i'm in the shop, 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 repulsion 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. bex 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 moscow. just look at the price stack here. cucumber. 11 us dollars per kilo tomato, $11.00 per kilo, and there are just

a 2 tomatoes left to in the entire shop. now this one garlic 15 us dollars per kilo and is just for maybe 5 times more. and then same off to where i live. and that's one my favorite, it's a green onions, 16 west dollars per one piece. busy insane. busy with here in the know through you eat frozen food. if you look care, you can see that everything is in the freezer, buries f version. everything is frozen. if we get fresh groceries, it's when they're brought over by plane, things like sausages or ought to protect by plane that. yes ma'am, that's crazy. well, i should keep in mind that to that is a small and close knit committee of law. fewer than 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 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 perfect is when a supply ship 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 visitors box right here, expired in june. look. so it's a 5 months ago, but i just bought it with a 50 percent discount. and it's a common thing in the deck when we show the expired juice box to prevent deputy mayor, he scratched, he's had for about a minute. local authorities are aware of the problem, but there is little they can do until that can be supplied regularly, all year round. if we have appropriate items in shops or we don't always have on a shop owners from augusta sources, your phone, or whatever, we have a supply period from june to november,

a fulfill most of the crest. groceries will come closer to the end of this period comes when it gets there possible. and this is how prices are decided because it all gets destroyed. no one wants to have financial losses. i live at 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 fine. we have a different mentality to people on the mainland. we are like a big family. and that's the nationality. people are actually friends with each other here. this dore gold and expensive. uh huh. yeah. that 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 south eastern lead. nobody knows and look at if everyone wants to move to the mainland, but they come back cut off. so now that you see and he'll come back as well.

congratulations. with the new revolutionary power plant, which brings jobs and higher salaries, things begin to look out for the city. it's not electricity per se, that makes things change. it's the people. and that's the true power of feedback in russia, sparking ah ah yeah, one trip that was and another voyage we're closely following is the return to earth of the 1st crew to ever film and movie in space. the russian actress on director are due to touch down in the early hours of sunday,

and we'll make sure you don't miss a thing. keep track of ortiz, special coverage on there on online, through the day. i forgot to order, driven by dreamer shaped banks, concur senators with dares sinks, we dare to ask a
