ah, ah ah bomb explosion in the yard down in capital leaves 2 people injured that comes as the country marks the 1st anniversary of the telephone's return to power following the botch. us withdrawal. moscow urges western countries to quote, still playing irresponsible games on push key have to hold the shelling of the suffer. rogia a nuclear power plant. also at this 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 rip british india

a policy with for 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 us 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 blast 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 port 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 a special immigrant visas. us. congressman michael mccaul said there was simply no plan for the chaotic withdrawal. burn many done 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, it tells it's 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 how the widely criticized withdrawal was implemented and how the events on the ground unfolded.

i do not regret my decision to end america's war fighting that garrison and maintain a laser focused on our counterterrorism mission. there and other parts of the world

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

2 decades before ortiz. rachel blevins reports one year after the botched chaotic and deadly end of the u. s. war in 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 one take over that gas that now inevitable? no, it is none. because you have the app can troops of $300000.00 well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force against something like $75000.00 bond. it is not in every 2 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 us 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 charge 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 days. an alarming prediction that turned out to be way off. what he's talking about here is a failure of intelligence that we saw across the world we saw in washington. you know, the pentagon had no idea this was happening. however, what the us learned 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 drinks and their unity and political will in order to succeed. ultimately, the african national security defense 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. there's nobody wanted to be the last man standing after the others gave up. there was a 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 time realty advisors war against withdrawn on this timeline. they wanted to keep about 2500 turn. oh, they did. it 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 that list was the fact that the u. k. foreign secretary at 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 i wouldn't go on holiday, let alone. and we've come home on the government for you as had been propping up for nearly 2 decades, was also supported by an embassy that housed around 4000 and 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 off san 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 us accept plan was eventually proven wrong. there's going to be no circumstance. 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 the non 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, but we'll be bringing you more on afghanistan and how it's people happy navigating their lives since the turbulent us polite in our special coverage. right, right. this month. ah,

to the latest on the ukraine conflict. no moscow has called on the west to influence the authorities in t uh to stop shelling this up. it was your nuclear power plant brushes. foreign ministry spokeswoman house brun did western up at trees 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 it's 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 then you can cite 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 prove deadly. this is the new fcc tb 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 thermo power station which generates the energy for the nuclear plant. the sites on the nearby city of an air guitar have been repeatedly targeted for more than a week now, sparking fears of a tree noble like nuclear are teeth don't quarter, told us more and all bars 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 wiring positions that are constantly shelling near the plants because they're really the ones endangering it the most. although vladimir zalinski doesn't seem to see it that way, he's been pointing the finger at russian troops published, or she's copies. every russian military officer who either shoots at the plant or shoots under the cover of the plan, you must understand that he becomes a special target for our intelligence, for our special services for our army. well, it's shocking enough to hear at 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 risk. many people will suffer, but even more people will suffer if russian administrations and nuclear facilities and not attack 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 harvard 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 whose actually endangering it, but for some reason the united nations 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 mom who wants headed the soviet union's nuclear radiation safety body vladimir couldn't yet self outline the potential

dangers the world could face. if this upper osha plan took a direct hit. no nebraska, 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 rocket will hit exactly. the rocket has a certain weight to be at the 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 where 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 is stored, 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 denita 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 and the territory western ukraine. recruit, preparing for some interesting remarks there at local officials. meanwhile, se russian lead forces are advancing in dunbar nearby dunbar, reaching key strongholds previously held by ukrainian troops in the region. russian soldiers continue to engage the ukrainian army and the key city of d. f. car that's in the done yet for public. the urea has been the focus of fierce bottles since the conflict erupt in late february with key forces long using it to target the regions capital done yet. 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 outskirts of severs or turning attention to africa. where 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 kenya's economy and quote, uplift ordinary citizens. both contenders had appeal for tom throughout the election after disputed votes in the past lead to violence erupting in the country . while asian, the 1st on the list, tend to sir, leaves the spy political division in the nation. one hopes the new president will follow through with his electoral promises was a very young shift bid been 6 days awaiting and it was actually the climate of what was calling a dinner. and through the day, people been waging bills turned off in the way shown. finally, looters,

and now they come on weekly doing very badly doldrums. the cost of living is high a little in the course of the campaign promised to undress what recall production ended by giving more substitutes to how much to try and get to things to get to business. it's multi and coming, going and productivity. that's what it means that he has to do right now inside of the hub of the country divided i think at some point can use of to place the tough choices ahead of them. put, pull it back by and 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 indian. those are 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 brutish barrister. it was called the partition august of 1947 ratcliffe to align bordering india and pakistan. that line also divided this way, part have been job tearing apart, will edges, families and communities now hindu than seeks on one side and the 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 asp or district barely a few miles from the india pakistan. border 104 year old miller rom is one of the few living partition survivors in the which if you're dealing with her here

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 the spring when it was all that shit her chatter. he may have left pakistan, but pakistan has stayed with him in more ways than one. even today, he rides thick haines in order and keeps them close to his heart. in another village we meet could pulsing, his grandchildren, and great grandchildren have all moved to big cities. he's decided to state his 1st 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 result with it in his childhood home in pakistan was a dream come true. ah, brenda, i went to my village, my home, i cried. alarm for 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 give money and a blessing to the children living in the house. a few villages, father, also by the border stands, the rows are shut if thou gall, the sacred islamic shrine fell on the indian side. when the partition line was drawn, as many seeks shines, ended up on the pakistani side. he or the entire willing around 80 families that came from see, are caught in pakistan, have maintained this structure for 75 years, like their own. and you know, the whole village takes care of the dogger. we come here every day, train it, lights out the lamp, cray here across 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, but at the borders of reality. and despite living to the pain of partition many. so i was have chosen to remember the love or with the pain ridge and sharma, arte but job louse, 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 displays of flags and national symbols. we heard from guests in both countries and how the nations tried to force their own parts forward following the partition that ripped british india apart in foreign policy that very much active since 2014. after the 9 no more, the government gave me so, but there is a big difference between the 2014 find for indian find policy and all 2014 can find now in, in point, policy makers are very active on. foreign minister is josh and then he is ready dyadic and die. he's all this, but people are about the interest of indian people in young golf man in yesterday and he doesn't. he doesn't whole himself back when he talks about that indian foreign policy interest, an indian in objective of scenarios like

a few problem is that baki stun always wants to solve the issue in an international . but on the other hand, india, indian foreign policy make birdsong and 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 artist on foreign policy. heard age 75, i think focused on find itself in a, in an extremely difficult situation. or 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 regime change. because the former prime minister sounded very nationalistic, very 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 run han 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 in ron khan. the former prime minister had created by getting into in getting into a really nationalistic and rhetoric and which was perceived as india, america in the united states itself. and that's where we leave the global news roundup for now, don't stray too far, though as more programs are about to get going see was showing where you are. why that in with

a look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point obviously is too late trust or rather than fear. i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with oh, when i was showing wrong, when i just don't know if you have to shape out

this thing becomes the answer to an engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds of horn, we choose to look so common ground. ah, lisa canter, russian state flow narrative. i've stayed on the most landscape div with those houses, and i made a coup in a 55. we did. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else was about with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine. the state aren't russia today, and school r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on you too. mm hm. so we could pull the question,

did you think even close to chat with oh, well, she's nice menus cards and like if you speak russian, keep your voice down while out and about a couple. don't put your human symbols on display a guy. so you guys don't talk to strangers, i avoid noisy

gatherings with your colleagues and perhaps also your friends think you're guilty because you'll russian a glad to with being a specific social with a with a really.
