a pillow top, we had to operate our drones. i was 8 hours a day. and then the same at night there was a u. s. company and the afghan government was signed an agreement with he. so we were employed by this company. they scam eagle with each month, one pilot conducted $1720.00 drone strikes. it could be more than that, but not less. and with
7:04 am
data throughout operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong targets. and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data ah, ah, ah, at the port we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work. and after the taliban took over and one was arrested in cobble. and the 2nd, when he was visiting his family, some drone pilots were also beaten and humiliated. and 3 or 4 of our colleagues are missing with a even the closest relatives don't know where they are. sex age, they blinking is leading the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure

a safe passage for any american afghan partner or foreign national wants to lead up again as to what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day. it's working to create safe passage for all civilians, including the afghan, to work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate afghans who worked alongside us in our particular risk reprise of our commitment to them has no deadline of let me put it this way. yes, i've lost my own people. know i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay in one place. i can't meet my family. i don't even know how my family is doing now. i can't see them with my colleagues. we can't see or contact each other because we are afraid the taliban are tapping our phones. in
7:06 am
the us, we have lost our way. what can we do and what will they do to us? we are counting our last breast. they might kill us today or tomorrow. i have one son staying with me and when he goes out to buy something to eat, he says he is afraid of being killed or kept. there is no one to help us in this situation. i live in here and i have to wonder why i was born in this hell, i am a human being. i have the right to free life. so the us and lead mission and i've kind of on has not had that over responsibility saying the afghan army cannot operate whole the drones without any outside assistance where you get many more stories on how the war on terror has affected. i've gotten a thought and change live are on the heard voices project waiting for you right now . just a few clicks away from now here on your monday program, paradoxical and counter productive. that's how belgian engineers describe
7:07 am
a government decision to de nuclear eyes. the entire country over the next 3 years, brussels will shut down all of his nuclear reactors and redirect investment into a new technologies. the government's decision to phase out nuclear energy, the largest source of low carbon energy in belgium and to finance new fossil gas power plants is paradoxical and counterproductive. this decision would only reinforce the predominance of fossil fuels in the belgian energy landscape. currently, there are 2 nuclear plants in belgium, though with 7 reactors, they to generate almost half of the entire countries power, authority, se, avoiding nuclear energy will make power production more safe. and is of course, as you probably know in line with a common you goal to go green. however, it all does come in your grapples with an energy crisis that has seen prices sorta record highs. now, in neighboring france and germany known for that nuclear power capabilities,
7:08 am
the cost of atomic energy has spiked off the pirate, closed $1.00 of those plans and halted operations at another over suspected security system faults. now as for germany, it intends to close all of its nuclear power plants by the end of next year, starting with its brock off site. on new year's eve, the closure will leave the country with 3 nuclear power stations. and germans have respond to the news with pretty mixed reactions on a forefront enough time. it has its pros and cons, but actually here in brogue there for only so advantages other countries are building nuclear power plants to. and the question is, where do we get our electricity from? and it isn't the out of the finally, it's happening and i'm very happy about it. because you never know if an accident might occur or thought people might try to destroy it. yes, of course. are people in the village to see things differently because the village has become rich on taxpayer money. if you drive through the village and see how much was invested in it,
7:09 am
and i think it's an important decision. i also think we're not there yet. we can't get from renewable energy and what we're getting from nuclear power, many locals work. we have to see where they will end up. but some people will definitely lose their jobs. we discussed the issue with independent journalist or charlie boyle and writing a clue to the chairman of a german nuclear activist organization. solar and wind are not available 100 percent of the time while nuclear is so you have to fill the gaps with fossil generation. and this is a tremendous hom for the climate because belgium replace is a low carbon energy form by a common intensive form of electricity. and this is just the opposite of climate protection. what belgium is doing year it is, it is of no use for the climate. it's. it's not climate protection, it's timing the climate. and it's for a purely easier,
7:10 am
logical read reason of the green party. once again it's, it's all about like a plan and seen a missed call point score and they may well those beliefs. but as usual, the practicalities always take now the reality is sinking high inflation. a huge demand surge going in the winter. and we, we simply can't have a situation where energy prices are going up. 1200 percent. we need to have a profit plan on around the world. but i think it transitions renewable is what the mixture is gonna be. and we're going to need to be honest about me, which are completely pilots or a 10 parsley here in moscow. a new un report says that all parties and ethiopia is
7:11 am
civil war, have committed atrocities raped on both for killing and torture. or the ruthless cough that has been waged by the tea gray people's liberation front and the european government art correspondent policy. i traveled to the country. i'm a 135 kilometers from the capital city of addis ababa in a city called deborah b at hon. now this is the 1st city when you're coming from the capital, when you get a sense of the impact of the fighting over the past few weeks in the past few days . and that is because the victim rate victims, people who work that are soft soldiers, people who witness to tennessee the playground people's liberation party. and the supporters have been largely because the hospitals in the areas that were under fighting were completely destroyed. so this is the main hospital here. we're going to try and get in and see if we can talk to some of the victims and to some of the
7:12 am
doctors about what is happening and whatnot. so far about 25 women where i committed in norfolk and the majority of women were 3 today. and we started, you called the beta goldman. and the remaining contain saturday to meet here has been kind of music them. and one of the calamities, 80 years old woman. yeah. 8180. and she was late. yeah. and you kind of media defense. she's not in our hospital by heating the news. it's very shocking. good news raping a woman hands and if the st. let's say that either it was, it was also a it was all otherwise psychology. ah,
7:13 am
can you often if they've okay to talk to us, is that well into their oh i nathan. when i was asleep during the 19 knocked on the door and said, please open the door. then he punched me. took me down and rate me. i don't know him. he was a stranger with a gun. i'll never forget what he did to me. ah. when they came to my home accusing me of being the wife of one of their enemies, i denied it, but they just burst into my home, tied me up and then for them raped me. i was in the 5th months of my pregnancy and i lost the baby. i'm not sure if i'll ever be fine again. i normally do teaching.
7:14 am
i'm high school teacher. but after the war broke out, i just came here to add to the thought bought into government that i'd, she's best, it's best to, to not start to watch cnn, bbc, and waiting for let me know that international media we are doing together with a t p forces because we have seen in place that people who are caught by the soldiers who said under to the so just a little cold but suggested they said we are for money told by our leaders for waiting to be on there. if you're gonna force a uniform rate people, kids, whatever to name day to be on the soldiers. ok. they produce that movie. they produce quite effect pictures from different,
7:15 am
but just places they say to me because many bombarding churches and i well now we're going to go to a nearby town where actually most of the rate victims come from hearing their harrowing stories. we now go and see the actual damage that was left behind. ah, ah, i'm standing in what i think was the living room of a house. that's what i can piece together. what the neighbors are telling me. use to be home. some 10 people who've now fled and have taken refuge with family in addis ababa in the capital city. i mean, the town of kaya and the playground people liberation front and the allies came here at least a time. so that's
7:16 am
a different occasion. and the last time they stayed for 18 days. so as you can see, they've completely destroyed homes like this. i mean it's absolutely nothing. so not only did they lose the home, but they also burn it when they lift and not only are people still afraid to come back, but there's really not much to come back to. i mean, if you look yeah, even the window frame. absolutely. everything has been taken everything ah, the wall has been raging for just over a year and the government keeps promising. it will in soon. but for people who live here, it's already too late. they've lost everything. policy a r t e c. ok. but you know, human rights council earlier voted for an independent investigation into the
7:17 am
atrocities committed by all sides. ethiopia, called the decision politically motivated and refused to cooperate. well, still the come here on the program a lot to come on your monday program here on our chines. national a german restaurant says he won't change the name of his establish, which has been called racist, vice some locals just to my wood off the break. we hear from the owner of the malls head ah, oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being
7:18 am
led somewhere? direct. what is true war? his way in the world corrupted you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. for special gas today. the old in the legendary midst fire stein, author of the planet ponzi match. nice to see. happy holidays. ah good that be with us for the monday program here on our team. so to florida we go way soaring can so rights and pollution are being blamed on that of phosphate
7:19 am
mining is locals find for their health the one mining giant accused of polluting the vast waterways plans on opening another site later today. oxy will area documentary about the toxic situation, beth, for now, here's a preview. one of the most toxic places in america, florida, one of florida's biggest industries and best kept secrets is phosphoric mine in the biggest player is $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic, and i there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aqua floor liberal. there's a chronic or, you know, i called don't let work towards me, but that's what it is. i'm in 2013, my uncle, our family dog, my brother, who is 21 years old, myself and my father, and we're all dying with rob, with black hole
7:20 am
and the good place. right? yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're, that far hill is more important than the company responded to the accusations made of the documentary by saying it doesn't to accurately portray the cancer risks associated with mining earlier this year, a 1000000 gallons of waste water from one former mining facility leaked in florida, the state is building an injection well to pump out the remaining water there it's something environmentalists. they could just make it all so much worse and filmmaker eric crown, who made the documentary you just so previewed, explained his motivation as i was traveling around the world, doing a lot of direct action conservation work. i started to see that right in my own backyard, we had these issues where we were questioning children in a way that regularly is actually regulated and allowed for cam. so, you know,
7:21 am
as soon as i saw that with i thought this is something we can stop and if he's environmental cancers, if we're able to stop them, it's our obligation to investigate and stop them for continuing. one interesting thing is they're allowed to do their own testing is fast, so they simply do their own tests and then provide the results to the state. so there is no oversight. you act on this entire industry statewide. and that is where we're finding the difficulties. you know, i was able to come up with it by going through the public records of the different counties that have mining and mining areas and they're all they're leading cause of death was cancer and their rates were extremely higher. i spoke to a lot of people that had been silenced by them by music directly. as a matter of fact, one person who spoke i recently had a gag order placed on them where they could not speak publicly about mosaic, which i just thought was crazy. actually, the gag order said you're not allowed to speak about music on facebook and for somebody to lose the 1st amendment, right, like that. that shows
7:22 am
a lot of influence in the area. you know, we find that most it goes through and they kind of gain the favor of a lot of people by putting a lot of money into the local communities. but at the same time they're, they're presenting this nice picture while they're also getting everybody sick at the same time. you know, and it was, it was maddening for me because we did find cancer causing chemicals, and it was proven in the movie. we even found one of their outfalls had there, there's a level that they're not supposed to go over and we found that level and we tested the water of radiation. so we're finding that there's, there's just, again, there's no oversight into this type of an industry. and they kind of run roughshod over everybody in the local areas. it's pretty wiring stuff. in fact, you can watch the full documentary later today on our channel as well as all day tomorrow as well at our see on line also on the i. so a restaurant owner in the german city of keel is refusing to change the name of his
7:23 am
establishment from that of the morse head because some local say it's racist. andrew and egbert originally from nigeria told us why he's sticking with it. or no more than cough i don't feel discriminated against in any way. warren cough does not races to me morrow. moore's head has no degrading meaning at all. the name more has a positive connotation. so black people consider the name races, but not many. some of those black to see the name as discriminatory, were pushed in that direction by clueless germans. those blacks have no self awareness. i'm old enough and have the knowledge and brains know when my feelings are hurt. i don't the white people to explain to me when my feelings are hurt. the term more has caused controversy before in germany, activists to crying its alleged colonial connotations, successfully petition to get berlin's format more. st. renamed, of the influx of migrants into germany has made more people, but potentially more aware of being offensive. even traditional children songs are
7:24 am
being scoured with the popular 3 chinese with a double bass leading to legal action over alleged racial overtones. but it's not just the germans. the european commission created a fossil by issuing guidelines on inclusive language and suggested avoiding supposedly loaded words like christmas and a man made politicians from the right pallets on the initiative and got it canceled their roster. and her, andrew and echo again explained why he thinks this idea was misguided from the very stuff the much dimension, most big people need to realize the police in a language does not prevent racism, that i've been in germany for almost 30 years now. and i wonder who are the victims of the language that is spoken here every day about so it's not the black people. i can't imagine a black person here getting his high school diploma then wanting to study at university and someone saying you're not allowed to study here. that doesn't happen much, much if you are entitled to a post. no one will say,
7:25 am
you won't get this post because you're a blacker error, asian. there is no such thing. you shouldn't import that from the u. s. to germany . that's why i think this discussion is wrong, shameful, and absolutely ridiculous. what is being said by politicians and the public is the wrong thing to do. racism in germany is being fought in the wrong way for us or where some us cities are saying crime rates comparable to that other 19 ninety's with some areas breaking all time records. this has prompted mayers to jump off the defend the police bandwagon with chicago notorious for his problems with violent crime among those. and now looking to do what well to boost lauren forestman. once again, a serious crime makes the headlines almost daily. most recently a mole shoot out in the suburbs and a double robbery of high end shops, chicago mayor laura lightfoot who previously wanted to slash police funding. so the situation isn't tolerable and forcing her to do the opposite. i have formerly asked
7:26 am
the attorney general of the united states merrick garland too, with all deliberate haste, detail atf agent to chicago for 6 months so that we can increase the number of gun investigations and seizures in chicago. according to chicago police, there were hundreds more shootings in the city this year than last when they were over 3000. and bode is also a source of different spike with 783 committed just this. yeah. or san francisco is also battling a crisis that have drugs last year. it's may, i promise to redirect millions from police, but now she says the city needs to enforce the law more aggressively. and we spoke with former police officer. dominic is, who says vilification has made it much harder for police to just do their job. the crime in chicago is out of control. if you are considering coming to the chic city, chicago for vacation, you've never been here. do not come here. do not try to enjoy the streets of
7:27 am
michigan avenue in state street. your chances of being mugged carjacked shot, stabbed, beaten, are extremely high. chicago is out of control. the police are not allowed to do their jobs. when the police do their jobs are vilified by the media. they're vilified by the local government. they're vilified by the mayor's office. they're vilified by the citizens. you are not safe if you come to chicago, joe, until the state steps up and does their job. you're going to have complete, utter, lawless, and chaos here. and chicago's gonna, it's, it's, it's drowning it's, it's drowning, and i don't know if it could be said it's laughable. it shouldn't even be up for discussion. why we're looking at, laurie lightfoot, who refused the help from the federal government when a different president was in office. but now because one a lines of her political view, she does it. this is, this is offensive. it's very sad. we have to remove all emotions when we talk about this so that we're not looking like we're taking a person's character. but we have to attack with the person is or is not able to do . she is not able to lead. she is unqualified. she is, she is an utter utter failure,
7:28 am
who needs to be removed from office and you can him off. my dominic is oh, if you have to ortiz channel on youtube for the meantime. thanks for joining us, wrapping out the program for this hop. how alive from moscow announcing international more of a monday headline still to come when we were to ah, by the fund, i'm ic. no, certainly no board is like teeth and users as a merge we don't have with the we don't the maxine world needs to be ready judge yes, come with we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this
7:29 am
crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been met. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. oh driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with theirs sinks, we dare to ask with
