ah ah, by the explosion in the afghan capital leaves 2 people injured that comes as the country marks their 1st anniversary of the tele bouldin's return to power following the bought us winter. all moscow urges western countries to quote, stop playing irresponsible gains on push key. have to hold the shelling of this up erosion nuclear power plant. also had this with india and pakistan celebrate independence, a 75 years after colonial rule came to an end. we look at how the nation's tried to force their own paths forward following the partition that ripped british india

apart with pro moscow to the world. this is our t great to have your company today. my name's unit o'neill. on explosion in couple has left 2 people injured. the incident is believed to have happened near a local tv channel and occurred on the 1st anniversary of the taliban returning to power in afghanistan. amid the chaotic us withdrawal, a local journalist sent this brief report. on monday, the islamic government of the taliban was celebrating the 1st anniversary of their victory over the americans who left afghanistan on the same day last year and the taliban established their own rule. meanwhile, there was an explosion in the capital cobble which caused chaos later. government officials said the blas occurred in a vehicle. it may have been

a magnetic device or a mine, but we don't know about the nature of this blas yet here in the streets of cobbler . people strongly believe it was a bomb planted by the enemy to subvert our celebrations. and it comes as new details of the failures accompanying the u. s. retreat have recently emerged in elite report. now it was carried out by republicans on the u. s. foreign affairs committee on reportedly claims there were just 36 state department officials on the ground at could buller report a year ago to deal with the thousands of people desperately trying to get out of the country. now, 12 months on there are reportedly still tens of thousands of afghan stuck in the country waiting for special immigrant visas. us. congressman michael mccaul said there was simply no plan for the chaotic withdrawal. there are many non since if you will though, there was a complete lack of failure to plan. there was no plan and it was there was no plant execute. there was a disconnect between, you know, intelligence on the ground and what the white house is doing. and this report,

the says it all, i, there is no way we're gonna evacuate embassy personnel from hell covers like we did in vietnam fail. of course, we know that happened. well, let's take a closer look now at how the widely criticized withdrawal was implemented and how the events on the ground unfolded.

i do not regret my decision to end america war fighting them carelessly and maintain a laser focused on our counterterrorism mission there and other parts of the world

the it seems the emotional wounds of the botched military withdrawal from the country are still being felt by americans the u. s. media is reporting on a man who apparently committed suicide during a memorial service for his fallen soldier, brother kills during last years followed. the 20 year old corporal was among 13 american servicemen who lost their lives in their suicide bomb attack near capital . the report, the incident happened while large crowds of people were trying to flee the off gun capital while a period of just 10 days last year, a soft gun this done turned on its head on the taliban back were they were

precisely 2 decades before our teeth rachel blevins reports one year after the botched chaotic and deadly end of the u. s. war and afghanistan. there are still countless questions about how and why the world's leading intelligence agency got it so wrong when the time came to leave the country, the u. s. had been occupying for 20 years after all, even president biden express. nothing but confidence before he made the official call. is a tale bob take over that gas that now inevitable? no, it is none. because you have the african troops have 300000. well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 colored mine. it is not enough. weeks later, it was a very different story when the us withdrew from the country, the government,

they had spent 2 decades building and supporting fell apart. and it took the taliban just 10 days to gain control of the country's capital, notably faster than it took the us to do so. when an invaded back in 2001, ah ah, how is it possible that multiple reports from, for intelligence agencies in the u. s. managed to get this situation so wrong, that even the same mainstream outlet who had spent 20 years justifying the u. s. military's presence in the country were forced to admit what a disaster it was. us intelligence officials are pushing back on the charts that they were caught off guard by the rapid collapse of afghanistan's government. for 20 years. we know the taliban, we have people on the ground, and yet you, the u. s. was caught unaware, and completely off guard to the commander of us forces in afghanistan. alerted the

pentagon. cobble could be surrounded within 30 day, an alarming prediction. the turned out to be way off. what he's talking about here is a failure of intelligence. so we saw across the world we saw in washington, knew the pentagon had no idea this was happening. however, what the us learn the hard way was that just because it spent nearly $90000000000.00 training, the afghan defense and security forces did not mean that their army of around $300000.00 would be able to take on the taliban without the u. s. military there to support them. and yes, that's despite the claims made by the biden administration, that they just needed to strengthen their unity and political will in order to succeed. ultimately, the african national security defends versus had the equipment, numbers and training to fight back. they have what they need, what they need to determine is if they have the political will to fight back. and if they have the ability to unite as a, as leaders to fight back. and that's really where it stands at this point. as it

turned out, the 20 year long reliance on the u. s. military proved to be much more than the white house expected. and after they were abandoned by their allies, the will of the afghan forces to attempt to fight back against the taliban fell apart in record time when the us announced a total withdrawal that sent a signal to afghan soldiers and police that the end was near. and converted chronically poor motivation into acute collapse as nobody wanted to be. the last man standing after the others gave up. there was the all or nothing strategy employed by the u. s. in which it opted for a quick pull out from the country rather than withdrawing gradually and leaving a few 1000 troops on the ground to help with the transition. after all was said and done, bite and denied that was ever an option. the pentagon had been considering your top military advisors war against withdrawn on this timeline. they wanted you to keep about 2500 to no, they didn't. that was split though that wasn't true. and it wasn't just the u. s.

the u. k. foreign office admitted last month and it made a number of mistakes in its own exit from the country and quit it on. this was the fact that the case for in secretary of the time was on holiday and didn't take the afghan foreign ministers call when he reached out for help with the benefit of hindsight, of course it's easy to say but, and i wouldn't have gone on holiday let alone and we've come home of the government . the u. s. had been propping up for nearly 2 decades, was also supported by an embassy that housed around $4000.00 diplomats contractors and staff who provided a false sense of confidence even though they were relying on the intent security provided by the u. s. military. but then again, they didn't invade afghanistan looking to learn about the country. instead, the mission they claim to half was to force american values on the people. and after 20 years, it has become clear that they still haven't learned about the country they occupied for so long. it also appeared as though every assurance biden gave about the u. s.

exit plan was eventually proven wrong. there's going to be no circumstance, or you see people be lifted off the roof of a embassy in the of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comfortable. and yet, it was the scenes of helicopters rescuing embassy staff in afghanistan that became a direct comparison to the fall of saigon in 1975. that's only fitting, given the fact that the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan has been called the worst intelligence failure since vietnam, proving that after a 20 year war, thousands of lives lost countless communities destroyed. and more than 2 trillion dollars spent, the u. s. still hasn't learned from its own actions. well, we'll be bringing you more on left, dallas, southern, how it's people happy navigating their lives since the turbulent us polite in our special coverage. right, right. this moment, ah,

to the latest on the ukraine conflict. no. moscow has called on the west to influence the authorities in t up to stop shelling this up or was she a nuclear power plant? russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman has branded western now patricia towards the issue reckless. we strongly urge washington, brussels and other capitals, primarily european ones to stop the irresponsible games and intrigues around the nuclear power plant and immediately influence the key of authorities to force them to stop showing the plant and its adjacent territories. however, and this may be significant, the un no say it is ready to organize a trip of a expert to the nuclear plant if russian and ukrainian authorities agree to the proposal. now the situation surrounding the facility remains extremely tense. local authorities say the city of a neuro guitar and the nuclear side have once again being shared by ukraine. as of

now, there's no reports of casualties or significant damage. however, another attack on sunday did proved deadly. this is the new cctv footage we've received which is purported to show the exact moment of the strike. one civilian was killed and another injured. a young woman who received shopping wounds and needed hospital treatment. local officials also said ukrainian rockets targeted a nearby thermal power station which generates the energy for the nuclear plant. the site and the nearby city of an air guitar has been repeatedly targeted for more than a week now, sparking fears of a true noble life. nuclear ortiz, don't quarter, told us more in all baths earlier. he of stephanie playing with a whole lot of fire by continually launching missiles and artillery strikes near the zeros or nuclear power plant. ukrainian forces did just that as early as, as recently a sunday when one civilian was killed and other was injured. and we also saw

a lot of shelling on saturday as well. and all this of course puts europe in tremendous danger of another nuclear disaster on the continent. and this is exactly why the international atomic energy agency has been demanding an end to the fighting around there. now the upper ocean regional authorities have also commented on this. they have said the best way to accomplish that objective of ending the hostilities around there is by clearing out the ukrainian hiring positions that are constantly showing near the plans because they're really the ones endangering it the most. although, lot of years lensky doesn't seem to see it that way, he's been pointing the finger at russian troops pushing or receive school every russian military officer who either shoots at the plant or shoots under the cover of the plant. he must understand that he becomes a special target for our intelligence, for our special services for our army. while it's shocking enough to hear the president of ukraine say it's acceptable under certain circumstances to shoot at or around a nuclear power plant. but what's more shocking than that is that it's actually

a bit of a moderate position in ukraine. others are openly calling for the ukranian military to attack nuclear sites on russian territory. cities. yes, it's a race. many people will suffer, but even more people will suffer if russian administrations and nuclear facilities are not attacked. now. there should be a strike. there's no other way. probably the best thing to do here is what we heard from maria's car about to allow specialists from the international atomic energy agency to go there, let them see for themselves the condition of the plant. let them see for themselves who is actually endangering it. but for some reason, the united nation isn't allowing them to do that. i mean, it's more than likely that has to do with ukraine's powerful western friends which are enabling this reckless attitude. the key of hads towards the possibility of another terrible nuclear tragedy. the man who wants headed the soviet union's nuclear radiation safety body love, america's near itself,

outline the potential dangers the world could face if there's up and she a plan took a direct hit no, no subarus, cuz there are 6 power units operating at the nuclear power station where the 100 megawatt pressurized water reactor. if a missile gets into the pressure shell and what is a pressure show, it is a structure in which the main equipment of the react upon is located with a diameter of about 45 to 47 meters up to 70 meters high such a barrel. the thickness of concrete varies in different parts from 800 millimeters to 1200 millimeters. it is necessary to understand where the rock it will hit exactly the rock. it has a certain weight, speed and explosive, which leads to the destruction of certain structures. no one has ever calculated what can happen to a pressure shell if you hit it with a missile. no one could have thought of such a thing. only the effects of gale force winds or the fall of a light engine aircraft, or calculated in these situations. the pressure will be able to protect the reactor

equipment, the reactor itself, and it systems that are inside. in addition to 6 reactors, the most dangerous facility at the power plant is the storage of spent nuclear fuel . it was unclear to me why this repository was launched in 2001, why wasn't a roof installed? that would cover the entire site of the storage facility with containers in which spent nuclear fuel restored the gigantic radioactivity that is in each container. and $300.00 containers should be stored. there is currently one 3rd full. they stand close enough to each other. and if multiple rocket launchers fall into the container, then the container will collapse. actually, a group of containers will be damaged. it will lead to a release of radioactivity into the environment. that is pollution, not only of the industrial side, but also of the geneva plus everything will be accompanied by a fire. and only god knows where the wind will send that. according to my calculations, if $20.00 to $30.00 containers are destroyed, the radio activity will affect about 9 countries among which are turkey, bulgaria,

romania, slovakia, the czech republic, poland, and the baltic countries on the territory. western ukraine who prepared me for some interesting remarks there at local officials. meanwhile, say russian lead forces are advancing end on bias. nearby dunbar reaching key strong holes previously held by ukrainian troops in the region. russian soldiers continue to engage the ukrainian army and the key city of of df. kell us in that done yet for public. the urea has been the focus of fierce bottles since the conflict erupt in late february with key force as long using it to target the regions capital done yet. but recently the ton of pesky came under the control of the done. yet the republics troops, while russian lead forces also secured a strategic point on the ice skirts of severs or i turning attention to africa were for 6 days after the presidential election

took place in kenya. the results are finally in depth to the president. william brutal is celebrating as the new leader, securing 50.5 percent of the vote. now he edged out the african nations ex prime minister, rayleigh dingo, mister rachel, a former teacher as pledge to prioritize. kenny is economy and quote, uplift ordinary citizens. both contenders had appeal for cam throughout the election after disputed votes in the past lead to violence are acting in the country while asian, the 1st unless tend to sir, leaves up the spy political division in the nation. everyone hope the new president will follow through with his electoral promises was a very young ship date been 6 days of waiting, and it was actually the claim of what was calling agency. and through the day, people been waiting bill stand off in the quiz shown, finally, looters,

and now they come legally doing very badly told drums the cost of living is high a little. and in the course of the campaign promised to address what's called production . and then by giving more subsidies to how much to try and get to things to get to business, it's multi and plumbing going and productivity. that's what it means that he has to do right now in spite of the have of the countries divided. i think at some point can use of to place the tough choices ahead of them for politics, but by not begin to address the immediate conference, which is the comic crisis in the country. ah, or from africa to asia 75 years ago to the day on monday, 2 centuries of british colonial rule. and india came to an end giving rise to 2 independent states. but the actual process of partition came

a huge constable. pakistan and india was our correspondent, roon june sharma takes us through amidst the triumphs in dallas independence in the summer of 1947. a line of separation was drawn by british barrister. it was called the partition almost of 1947 ratcliffe to align bordering india and pakistan. that line also divided this way, part of punjab, tearing apart will edges, families and communities now hindu than seeks on one side and a muslims on the other. 75 years on we meet doors whose life was changed forever by hastily drawn borders. this is the north and in state of punjab. the historic homeland of de seeks. we visited cordial village in the good dos for district barely a few miles from the india pakistan. border 104 year old miller rom is one of the few living partitions of i was in the village there here della maria government. we

left our entire life across the border. our old life no longer existed than what we had to start afresh. no memories of days gone by come back to me and that garden in spring. whatever goldlick should have chatter he may have left pakistan, but pakistan has stayed with him in more ways than one. even today, he rides the canes in order and keeps them close to his heart. in another which we meet, could pulsing, his grandchildren, and great grandchildren have all moved to big cities. he's decided to steal his forest home. his ancestral village is only a few miles from your just across the border in pakistan. 3 years ago he got his long awaited resolve with getting his childhood home in pakistan. was a dream come true. ah, brenda, i went to my village, my home, i cried. alarm those who live in the house that was once mine were happy to see me

. they wanted to give me a gift, but i said i won't take but give a gift. i gave money and a blessing to the children living in the house. a few will just father also by the border stands. the rules are shut, he started call, the sacred islamic shine fell on the indian side when the partition line was drawn . as many seeks signs ended up on the pakistani side. he or the entire willing around 80 families that came from ceo's court in pakistan have maintained this structure for 75 years like their own. and you have the whole village takes care of the dogger. we come here every day. clean it lights out, the lamp right here. oh cross the river, robbie. the sun is setting in pakistan. it's hard to imagine that this line, this border didn't even exist 75 years ago, bought the borders of reality. and despite leaving to the pain of partition many so i was have chosen to remember the love with the pain orange and sharma artie. but

jop was india and pakistan. mark one of the most significant moments in their respective histories. people have taken to the streets to celebrate the occasion. parades are taking place on both sides of the border with the slays of flags and national symbols. we heard from guests in both countries and how the nations tried to force their own parts forward following their partition, that ripped british india apart in foreign policy that very much after since 2014. after the 9 no more the government came into ball. so, but there is a big difference between b because an unfolding fine for indian find policy and all 2014 and find pulse. now in, in point policymakers very active on foreign minister is josh and then he is buried . dyadic and dar, he's all of us, but people are about the interest of indian people in young god made in yesterday. and he doesn't, he doesn't hold himself back when he talks about the indian foreign policy interest,

an indian aim objectives. and our scenarios, like a few problem, is that pakistan always wants to solve the issue in an international. but on the other hand, india, indian foreign policy make birth on get got men are the all is want to solve the issue in bilateral. so this is the fundamental difference between indian foreign policy makers and august and foreign policy at age 75. i think augustine finds itself in a, in an extremely difficult situation. a one of the electric prime ministers was watered out a few months ago and it is place we have a government which is which is being driven by the perception that this is like pro america, that the united states basically cleared are all in the gym chain. because the former prime minister sounded very nationalistic, already independent. he, he tried to pursue a foreign policy that is independent of the influence of the united states of

america. and this is why right now we see a massive polarization between the former prime minister m. ron hahn and his party on the one hand and the rest of the political parties as well as the military establishment. on the other hand, they believe that they can take the country out of the current crisis, which they believe iran con. the former foreign minister had created by getting into in getting into a really nationalistic rhetoric and which was perceived as india, america in the united states itself. and that's where we leave the global news roundup for another. don't stray too far, though as more programs are about to get going see about showing where you are. why that ah

ah the oh, when i was showing wrong, when i just don't hold any world that we have to shape out these days because the advocate and engagement, it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground.

ah, russia is the gross, you know, if injured much about we have any quality for russians. we have actual racism, bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian in europe. so i work for beach rooster, food can't be ignored soon as possible. if a nation suddenly be dislike, well was the hotel it he always there and only now come to the for the most told was the most for so for the is router will be a new one, hasn't been seen before in their perspective, for federal club must have been a more informed somebody at the studies before door and moving in that i knew you started. ok. you know people not yes. who's die?

you exact or could go with his i here because that's a play team is believe you got a one, was a question was considered, isn't it nearly was due to mr. you should see what i was here. all we gotta do is get him over the head and just tell him the right way to live near is going to do it as a whole. do that before i let you move up just to be. i just play a shy many the kids. i tried to understand why my own credit news use 90 person on tuition for position. i'm in some results and i discussed very deep or so for good since long, long time game it and there's

a well known generalist and politician. he had the geneva pres club that wrote a famous book, creating loose, a phobia from the great religious schism to anti boot in hysteria, in which he contends the rooster phobia in western europe isn't new, but has been there for centuries. resourceful for big narrative is set on 2 main arguments. one is russia is with dorsey, it was a tier one, the written thought was a tier one during subject times. and now it's to run you doing to president sure. a lot times the 2nd phone is worse than expansions, russian value at least 24 p. p fee is, but this is always the same games of visit to any bookshelf in europe or the us is enough to reveal the strength of anti russian sentiment today. love to keep us, he showed me here where you had a piece crystal on you know, some with at.
