i think the answer is no. if that was ever a notion of mission creep up again, it's done. we went from saying that we will get rid of ok so they can threaten us to say we're going to end the taliban. then we said, we will get all the troops the telephone works with them. further to have our exit strategy b. s. table government and again it's done. we have to say good enough is good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, we spoke to scott ritter. he's a former marine corps intelligence officer. he believes that documents confirm what was an open secret. documents may not have been available. ready the information contained in these documents was well known to experts and specialists, and could have been well known to anybody who took the time to do the research. the reality is the united states has not had a co haired afghan policy since from the very beginning. look, defense companies in united states, you're going to profit whether or not, i mean the united states has one of the largest defense budgets in the world. the largest defense budget in the world, $700.00 plus $1000000000.00. and a lot, a good portion of this goes to, you know, the acquisition of weapons and material equipment from defense contractors. you know, afghan. stan was an opportunity for specific technologies and the companies associated with those technologies to come into prominence. and there was some money to be made. the surgeon people saying, i've got to start causing a security nightmare of the year because among those fleeing the taliban, a convicted criminals earlier repacked trade and some of them by the u. back to afghanistan, along with various suspects on global security watch lists. in the u. k. then, and africa national, for instance, on britain's no fly list made it into the country on a military plane. when he got there, he was declared not to be a person of interest in the end and was free to go. but it's one example in france and police arrested one of 5 afghans with suspected links to the taliban. he failed to comply, apparently with a stay at home or to the other 4 or under surveillance. and then in germany, some previously deported off guns with criminal records, managed to sneak back in via those evacuation flights. berlin saying at the moment it is not screening people on the ground in afghanistan. the current procedure is a pragmatic one, which means that security checks on the basis of police findings will only take place in germany and it was deliberately decided that we no longer carry out checks on the spot. but after arrival in germany, women will comment in hungary saying it won't accept an unrestricted flow of migrants from afghanistan, emphasizing the gove

up to $25000000.00 in profits. after selling a defense firm, which has offices in afghanistan. the problem is terrorism. that opens up ghana. stan doesn't stay in afghanistan. we will see all kite, a 3.0. they are working closely with the taliban, and they do tend to attack their former secretary of state condo. liza rice offered her $0.02 on y. america's longest war was not long enough. 20 years may also not have been enough to consolidate our gains against terrorism and assure our own safety we and they needed more time. once again, rice's place on the board of c 3, a i, a defense contracting company is conveniently left out of our article with all these powerful officials having one foot in the capitalist pool and the other in that of the u. s. government. it's not hard to imagine why endless war is a very lucrative business decision for some stock returns from 2001 to 2021 for government contracted arms. companies like lockheed martin and northrop grumman totaled more than 1000 percent and wiki leaks, founder and whistleblower julian assange tried to warn the world about it years ago to use and then washed money out of a way out of the tax basis of european africa back into the hand of a trend that in the goal, my goal is to have in local and for some reason the mainstream media doesn't seem to find it necessary to tell their viewers that the experts they invite to inform public opinion on the afghan war. have a very specific agenda of their own underlining some of that the scan of america's failure in africa stands been revealed in 20 declassified documents published by the us national security archive. one shows the extent to which the calamity was consistently and deliberately hidden from the public. back in 2002, then defense secretary donald rumsfeld, was worried that the afghan mission was drifting. but never mentioned it publicly bother arguing that there was no point in negotiating with the remnants of the taliban. and more than a decade after that, american diplomat had the same concerns. the 1st question of did we know what we were doing? i think the answer is no. if there was ever a notion of mission creep, it is again, it's done. we went from saying that we will get rid of ok. so they can threaten us to say we're going to end the taliban. then we said, we will get all the truth the tell about works with then further to have in our exit strategy, be a stable government. and again, it's done. we have to say good enough is good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, back in 2011 julian, a song said the ultimate goal of the us military campaign in afghanistan was to create an endless war. not a successful one. we had area. we can accept it or in chief, told me that the new documents indicate the groups leaks a decade ago to supported by all the revelations that came out of the documents by we can use 11 years ago. some of them, of course, were from earlier period. ca, documents, diplomatic cables, military documents, it all pain the, the, the, through the true picture of what was going on. and i'm kind of 11 years ago. and it was somehow didn't register the, the lie continued. and that is the, the most of pricing out there. the, the current events basically is, and the thing clearly may seem media cars come to record with this. how was it possible for 20 years to maintain the like what was going on inside them? julianna's, and also said that the africa was being used to launder american and european money . what, what did he mean by that? the trillion dollar plus the trillion dollars probably under estimate did go into us the pocket, the military industrial complex, the, the private contractors like dunkirk who were supposed to be training the outcome, police, etc. it was a massive flow of money that went into the wrong pocket. it could only be called corruption on a large scale. on top of that, of course there's a, the, the corruption inside the sun where basically money was used as carols on to, to pump on the fire. or there were no loved good on the fire, just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire. everybody knows that the surge of people playing afghanistan is creating a security nightmare for europe. because among those fleeing the taliban, the convicted criminals earlier reported by the u back to afghanistan, along with suspects on various global security watch lists. a topic that came up in talk sally this wednesday between the russian and australian foreign ministers in vienna. they had 2 slides crews stick. foster has the 2nd biggest community of africans in europe, much more than other states could only sweden having more than us. i think austria has shown a loss of solidarity with them. now we have many problems within our country. we are not interested in becoming a failed states. we also don't want africa understand to become a terror base. and we have seen how the americans have enforce their way of living on libya, syria, iraq, and afghanistan. they should mind their own business. i've listed for military campaigns that have resulted in nothing but a surge of terrorism and unprecedented drug trafficking, while illegal migrants flooded into europe following nato's bombing of libya. the main conclusion is rather simple. here don't interfere in and other countries internal affairs and don't use force in violation of the un charter. well to industry some of those concerns in africa, national britain's no fly lists made it into the country on a military plane. he was declared though to not be a person of interest and was free to go in france. police arrested one of 5 guns where the ledge links to the taliban that suspected failed to comply with the stay at home order. the other 4 under surveillance. and in germany, some previously deported afghans with criminal records managed to think back in the fire evacuation flights. hungary, for its part, has emphasized that it won't accept an unrestricted flow of african refugees saying it won't let its people suffer from floor geopolitical decisions made by the u. s. hungary state secretary. i did the chaos and i've gone to stan probably could have been avoided. what we're seeing right now in capital, in other parts of garrison is frightening. and i think it could bring about an error in migration and international terrorism that we didn't want and perhaps could have avoided. or he talked about some of the security concerns with charles shoe bridge, who's a former british counterterrorism intelligence officer. he thinks the chaotic situation and cobble could result and even more complications in the near future. some degree, the concern is justifies because often you've got a situation where g to the logic situation on the ground. and we're talking about the ground around and inside the capital airport in some way that it's taking place . not it means that got together with the problems that are taking place in people haven't correct documentation. i'm a lot of problems around the actual nice no fly less themselves. what today is attention many times in the past, for example, in actresses. there's also the ease with which people can get run days. in any case, it's not surprising that some cases have risen, and i think we can expect more to happen. this is all away from the african crisis after the break, how the german chances chosen success has now gone belly a month to pull out all the stops with a public charm offensive. the poles put the party behind for the 1st time, and well over a decade i ah, with me ah ah, i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk the whole hello again. angular medical time is german chancellor almost up, but if had chosen success, thinks he's inheriting rock solid public support. and he might want to avoid the poles in the papers because for the 1st time in 15 years, the dominant coalition party is behind. as peter oliver explains happy days for the social democrats in germany, they are top of the opinion balls in the country for the 1st time. in 15 years they lead the christy and democratic union christine social union. the conservative union block by 23 point to 22, the greens coming in in 3rd and the most recent polling. it doesn't make good reading for the christian democratic duty when it comes to the opinions or public opinions on who should be the next chancellor. either in not metric, also good reading for the social democrats. all i've shown the candidate coming out on top with 30 percent in 2nd place. there is an all in a book on 15, while way back is and lashes of the christian democratic union. now he's been trying to put out some fires and do some, some face saving. he said that he's the man to look after both the environment and jobs. these criticize the greens in the social democrats for overly politicizing. the climate crisis says you have to factor in social aspects when you said such big goals. and that's also my idea of what lies ahead of us. it's not about making the steel industry uncompetitive with more restrictions and having to relocate elsewhere. that would give us a good climate picture, a 6 percent less submission, but no more jobs. the goal must transform the still industry so that the green energy and becomes green itself. and that's what we need in the chemistry industry in the german automobile in the hospital where the greens in the social democrats say that mister last year just isn't ambitious enough when it comes to climate issues. there's also been serious criticism heading the way all the conservative union coming into this election with party grandees wondering where it's headed is burning everyone in board, the fire trucks. we have to tell the germans what they will get if they vote for the cd used c s u and the federal elections. after years of the grand coalition, we have to press the bourgeois reset button for germany. instead, the election campaign in germany is rippling along, but chancellor angle america will step down at this upcoming election up in any 16 years in charge. she seems relatively calm, heading into the vote. where fighting all the parties fighting, we will work every day to get a good election result and not look every day at the polls. ultimately, it is the balance of voters in the ballad box of that count. not long to go now before germans go to the polls on the 26th of september to elect a new chancellor. those polls are pretty good for the social democrats right now. those margins are incredibly fine. i would then attempt to combat racism, the museum of archeologist in cambridge and the u. k. is to place special plaques next to some sculptures on display that to explain why they're so white. it's in response to an open letter from students and staff criticizing the museum for the allegedly misleading representation of the ancient world. but there's been a mixed reaction as we report next. have you ever wondered why roman and greek sculptures are white? well, the answer may seem obvious. that's because shifts and the material they're made off is why that's why cameras, teen diversity classic faculty. the question hangs in the air. they plan to put up signs next to the white blood the cath explaining why they're not diverse and color the university plain. so the current display gives a misleading impression of the whiteness of the ancient world. the cross the cas collection of the museum of classical archaeology, both from the cas gallery and distributed around the lex rooms of the faculty building, gives a misleading impression about the whiteness, an absence of diversity

i think the answer is no. if there was ever a notion of mission creep, it didn't get done. we went from saying that we'll get rid of ok the so they can threaten us to say we're going to end the television, then we said, we will get all the truth the tell about works with then further to have in our exit strategy b. s. table government, and again, it's done. we have to say good enough is good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, while we had that archive clip of wikileaks found the julian a sorry, here, let's talk to the current editor in chief, kristen robinson. welcome to a 2011. as we had a bit earlier, julian, a sound said that the and goal to be gone campaign was to create an endless war. not a successful one. hit the nail on the head, didn't be he certainly did send the lid was this was quoted by all the revelations that came out of the documents published by we can use 11 years ago. some of them, of course, were from earlier period ca, documents, diplomatic cables, military documents in all pain, the, the, the true, the true picture of what was going on. and i'm kind of some 11 years ago. and it was somehow didn't register the, the lie continued. and that is the most of pricing thing about the, the current events basically is. and i think that the mainstream media, because more come to reckon with this. how was it possible for 20 years to maintain the like what was going on inside them? julian assault also said that the afghan war was being used to launder american and european money. what did he mean by that? well, as he speaks for themselves, i mean, you pointed out here the tenfold increase in stock value of the big man because i'm monitors in the us over this 20 year period. i mean, the, the trillion dollar plus the trillion dollars probably under estimate did go into us pocket the military industrial complex, the, the private contractors like dunkirk who were supposed to be training the outcome, police, et cetera. it was a massive flow of money that went into the wrong pocket. it can only be called corruption on a large scale. on top of that, of course there's the, the corruption inside the sun where basically money was used as carol zone to, to pump on the fire. there were no loved good on the fire, just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire. everybody knows that a few defense contract isn't some of the biggest firms would like the conflict to continuous because that's perhaps understandable. they're going to be out of pocket, is there a, a political encouragement behind them though as well? it is hard to say, i mean the, it seems to be registering the big us, i call it and the people are finally catching onto that. what's the big surprise and it's extreme, surprising how long this went on. i mean, 11 years ago, we can basically expose the truth about the war. that was that point before gotten where the focus was on iraq. but i mean, apart from a few very dedicated journalists who did focus to the truth about what was going on inside the country, it was largely avoided up until the papers published by the washington post almost 2 years ago, which was the, the internal assessment for the military machine and the political lead about how impossible this mission was. so, i mean, the big thing is, the big question is, how is it possible this could go on this slide 20 years? those military groups, in terms of lobbying, they're not a benign for saw. they much leverage, could they have going forward on us policy based on the past, the former since they have leverage. but i mean, the big challenge now it's, it's on the gym, use it from journalist now has had to step up to the plate because i'm actually the man the answer is exposing raveling this extraordinary lot for 20 years on, on that note, of course i have mentioned that it is 6 ordinary that after a decade has passed since we can do now sounds exposed the truth above 2 wars and both of them ended the war that is going on as the war on journalism and the war on julian sill. it's having to spend time in jail in london with that in mind. things like public knowledge, the public knowing what's going on. we talked about those us national security archive documents that have been declassified. it shows it years ago, many senior politicians in the us thought that the project in afghanistan was failing. why was it kept from the public? how would things have been different if it wasn't will? of course, i mean the people would have known, but i mean there was plenty opportunity for the truth and the available documents. i mentioned the papers 2 years ago, a people would have mind the documents that were 11 years ago, but we can give them that that it has been continuous leaks and information coming out of the country. it is. there's a lot of soul searching in my mind. the tuning is have to go through and how they were complicit in, maintaining this and allowing this to happen. looking ahead then kristin, given that the all round criticism of the withdrawal of u. s. lead troops and forces there the chaos and the deaths that have resulted in the past 10 days to 2 weeks. is there a risk for them because of the chaos right now, the afghanistan will quickly descend to becoming another hope of terrorism and new . and i going to be here sooner rather than later talking about the next war on terror. i don't want to speculate on that. i'm not an expert on, on, i've got some say and the, the parameters in that country. i'm simply pointing out the obvious that this should not have come up as a price, and it is surprising how long this lie less than. i think it was a 1000000 times that only a month ago in july was posting a, a map of sun and tyler on strongholds, which were so close at the just small pockets here and there across the country. and it was estimated that it would take a long time for them to, to gain control. this was only a month ago, so it's astonishing. i know this might be a long shot, but i want to ask you mentioned about the war on journalism and relating to julian, a songs with documents like this coming out showing how important it is that people know what politicians really thought at the time about things that are failing well, that tax money is being spent on whether sons and daughters are being sent to fight that freedom of information. might that in any way be able to be used by julian assault, his defense team, as he still faces those extradition proceedings. willis is the, the truth, a defense of a journalist that being it's being persecuted for on, on a political basis. this is a political persecution, this is no, it's not about the law anymore and has to be in the law in the entire time. this is a political person choosing the will, the truth matter there. i doubt it. i'd simply hope that the people who start to realize that you cannot punish the truth teller. you have to reckon with the fact that you were my to and you have to let go. stop going up. the individuals who were brave enough to tell the truth. they've got to talk to mr. hopkinson, the editor in chief of wiki legs, good to talk to you. thank you. thank you. ok. now we're going to try again and get in contact with our senior correspond mirage guys diaz, who several hours ago arrived in cobble airport. there is a bit of a delay on the line. as you can imagine, communications aren't exactly the easiest, so there will be a few seconds between us talking to each other. murat, 1st off. good to see you. tell us about cobble apple 1st. we've seen some harrowing scenes there over the last 10 days. what was it like when you landed? but we, we expected the worst and to be honest with you, we weren't disappointed it was a k. k arctic sheet. i mean, previously we had seen videos where american troops filming on their phones inside the airport. they compared what was happening to will was that the movie about zombies start bad bit and they weren't far off the mugs to be honest with you. the entire field is listed with bullets and sped bullet casings with, with empty cabinets as grenade candice g. a gas flash bags with which natal troops dispersed the the mobs, the crush of app guides trying to get out, especially in the early days of the evacuation. now things are a much more audit again from what we saw. unfortunately we, we can show you pictures what, what we saw in the airport because of security concerns. nato troops that are already on the edge, every single aircraft that is taking off american germans by this veil or flying under the bows of taliban guns. and they are very well aware of that. so nerves, nerves a sort of freight, but there is also a barbed wire. absolutely. everywhere. there are rules

well over the past couple weeks in the past couple weeks, past week and a half, it's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. you feel a little bit you feel, let down you feel angry, you feel up and down. i completely lost faith in this binding administration. just complete disaster. honestly. that's really all i feel right now. the only thing i can say, the only other thing i can say about that is i feel for the guys that were on the ground from 2001 to up until now 202021. it's just a completely done across the board. i read in one of your previous interviews, what are the impacts, the terrible about some on 11? how do you, what water? inspiration, i guess, if you could call it that way, how do i need to join the armed forces and to go and serve? how was your impression of the un mission and i've got to on what your mission was in those early days. what the version up and to now how was your vision of what's going on there? changed and evolved. that's actually a very good question because when i, when i joined the military, i was pretty ideal as i want to go out and served my country right out of high school. i had sent back with my knees and stuff and i kept trying to get into maps and i finally did and i wanted to go see my country and the. ready whole lot of men, i'm 35 years old now it's wildly different now it's you see things for what they really are and i feel like i feel like the worn i'm gonna send it over so they didn't have to last as long as it did that we went there to go from those responsible for and then it should have been just that. and the worship ended sometime in the 2009. drag on the way it has and cars, thousands of lives and even many more to thousands of on and mentally. how would you say more mental health cases and things of that nature that should just that we're happy. yes, sure. because of course, joe bought and said that nation building was never the mission, never the golden guy on the primer goal is of course to to get rid of al qaeda to find been long bring him to justice the other terrorist attacks. do you think that was always the case? so do you think that some of the ministration is saying now off the what we've seen as many are saying is the failure of the us to provide a stable backbone for the country? well, nation building should've never been the case to begin if you want my honest opinion, nation building, what the hell that what, what are we doing nations and we try that and we try that in vietnam. we try to interact nation especially in a place like a denison. i personally believe that, like i said earlier, we should have just when there we should just 100 down the okay to the people responsible for for the tax. and the initiative in the us citizens evacuated around 80000 people from going to stop the lumber still rising. that is quite a big lift operation. probably one of the biggest in history, certain in american history. what does that say that massive escape lift about the american operation? and i'm going to start on, i guess when you i've seen those images of what's going on in the airport. the children being passed over, barbed wire fences to the parents, people falling from planes. how does that make you feel? having seen all that? i think my honest would be for i remember him honest opinion that says more about the people that their lack of political will or lack of will. ready to stand up to the taliban, their lack of their lack of fighting spirit. right? it says more about them than us. i mean, we were just trying to get our people right. it wasn't the right way. by the informal dramatically. i mean, it was a rendez strategy because i was meant to use that even a private in the marine corps, or even a private in the army knows that you get your civilians and your and your, your sensitive equipment 1st. and then, you know, you start pulling up the military and leave a mere guard, and then once everything is secured and accounted for you, you get up and get out by bite into the exact opposite. having said all the people, the people in that vicinity that we train that we money into that we stood up and gave equipment to should have been should have been better about it and, and, and try to fight back. at least do you think there is a risk that some of the evacuees on those planes who weren't properly vetted before getting on those flights could actually now increase the risk of renew the threat of terror attacks in the us, we've seen cases in the u. k. with people previously on low, flawless, and from the country, the same in europe. could the same happen in the us. now reverse those games if you'd like, over the last 20 years and have a kind of thought of fighting terrorism in the 1st place. yes, i believe that's credible from 2016 to like 2018 in places like germany and sweden. they were having issues with on documented migrants from the, from the dentist and north africa are going people will or is you could definitely see something like that in the united states. i know new york, they ordered a bunch of terrorist attacks from there to thousands, even into the 2010 the f b i and you can definitely see a spike in, in not only just terrorist activity, but like you said, or documented where there, where their medical records, who knows what they're bringing up, and then we have another problem with that as well. not just the tears, but like what kind of sicknesses and diseases are bringing over. we're running out of time, gabriel.

k to the u. k. r. and my brother book of sward interpreter for the coalition forces. my brothers still enough to understand the british government is making false accusations and excuses to withhold. not only my brother's visa, but many interpreters who genuinely need the british government's help and are very high risk or strongly believe that the taliban will hot down every are going to interpreter who is. so if the partition american forces, it will be the african interpreters or who paid the ultimate course. as a conflict sharpens, the un warns nearly $400000.00 civilians already fled their homes this year with a particular spike. since may many heading to couples for the taliban, but a living. and she, when he precarious conditions. here are just some of the heart wrenching stories from refugees. i have been just placed from telecom. the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house and set fire to demonstrate the punch me in the mouth, causing my teeth to fall out. they demanded my son and i told them that he's a school teacher. she recently became a teacher and had not even received his salary yet, had a class has broke out and we were taken hostage in the fighting, went on for about 6 or 7 days, and we couldn't go outside to do anything we managed to escape. and now we are displaced all the sliced guns, who seek asylum may not be welcoming you either with the block currently at loggerheads. what to do with refugees? fleeing violence next while to pull asleep delves into what happened to brussels open door policy. european union is less what to do with african refugees seeking, assign them. in the letter to the european commission, civil countries insisted they have the right to forcibly support those whose cases have been rejected. they vote not to deport them, would motivate war refugees? to flee to europe. we would like to highlight the edge of need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary to ghana. stan stopping return sends the wrong signal and is likely to motivate even more afghan citizen to leave the home for the e. u. the situation in afghanistan is deterioration, bobby, all, when it comes to the us and nato prepaid, what's called a proof that the end of the month after decades, long war situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and france have decided to port the deportation to be for now, the situation in afghanistan is likely to change and events for the coming period or so uncertain that i have decided to introduce a more atoria on deputation decisions and departures. agrees, or stress belgium and denmark standing firm. they want the rejected, assign them because the e u is not really and does not have the capacity to kind of another major migration crisis. why your guns are waiting, make up around 10 percent of asylum seekers. they're the 2nd largest group after syrians and for a continent still scarred by the migration crisis of 56 years ago. there was a feeling of a who, a feeling of having been they before, that has your opinions worried. they might be on the verge of a fish refugee crisis. those people who are here from a gun is done, they're not my, they're in a few gees and asylum seeker. and that is why it is very important to remember at all best in countries have signed humor right? convention, a few convention. and they are duty bound to has anyone, not only of guns, but syrians, are anybody who come to the, to their country, and as far as them, because you are in the country, are any conflict personnel tech to, to their life. so i think then the western countries say, oh, we don't care if a one or if you just go home or do for them. i think this is a violation of human rights. and we should do that kind of thing. this morning to be with these images may be disturbing. tragedy is struck in the rush, western russia city over on us as a public pos exploded, killing 2 people and injuring 20 others. we take a closer look at the break. ah hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask in the problem of the dead sailing is that it forces them to admit what that number is like am 3 or am to which are the money supply numbers once the numbers got so scary, they stopped reporting them similarly with the debt ceiling kabuki theater, that happens every couple of years. they're just going to get rid of it. no one even announced that number. it'll be impossible to find what the american is. and i'll just say a number sign for infinity. ah, we'll come back and explosions ripped through a public bus in the western russian city varnish, killing 2 women and injuring 20 other people. witness who rushed to help survive has told us what he saw. one slot a minute, a minutes after the blast. i heard children scream, people please for help. i immediately rushed to the bus and jumped in through the window which had already been shattered. once inside a thorn 11 or 12 year old girl, she was stuck between 2 seats. that moments ago i came to help me 1st we got the girl out. i'm sure her ribs were broken given how tightly she had been stuck. we made several attempts to stand her up. was she couldn't and started falling after her. back on the bus, there was a woman in a green dress. her legs were severely hurt, her legs had been blown off to above the knees. we took her out and puts her on the ground. it was appalling. inside. you could see legs, body parts scattered around, but you don't focus on that as you battled to save human lives. a human life is the most precious thing on earth. i didn't analyze anything at the moment of rushing to help. i acted instinctively. what self can you do when you hear children screaming, moaning my heart told me to do that. i understand this would shock, ordinary people, they'd seek to avoid such things. i've been to war on sort of used to it. i helped, i went hung morning. the following report begins with a street camera video of the actual blas and contains some rather distressing images. a split 2nd before the incident, and then devry flying out from all sides. that was followed by a fire. at the time it's believe the bus at around $35.00 passengers on board. some of those, the blast hit was still able to stand and quickly fled the scene. further disturbing images of the explosion show and injured pass it along on the ground among the debris. rush authorities of open the criminal pro, but looking into a number of possible explanations with no rush and singled out. so far, dental court has been following the tragic events off tomorrow. as you can see behind me, whatever was left of the blast has already been cleaned up, traffic is already moving normally on the street again. you can also see behind me a bench where there are some flowers, this is the bus station right next to where the explosion take took place. people put flowers there overnight and memory of those who died in this tragic event. now, as for what caused this explosion, the investigative committee is looking at several different theory. so the main version it's looking at is that either the diesel boss was filled with the wrong fuel or a gas cylinder had exploded on board. there were other people that were saying that the driver per potentially was being negligent and that it was his fault. while the police have said that, an earlier theory that it was a terrorist attack has now been deemed unlikely. projectiles such as pieces of wire or nails. things usually used and explosive devices were not found. those injured were mostly hon. bye fragments of flying glass. however, the chance that it could be an explosive device can still not be ruled out. right before the bus exploded. it was fully filled all with a total of $35.00 people on board. and 2 people were killed, one of which was a woman who brutally had her legs blown off in the explosion. it was certainly a tragic thing to see as the driver explained after the fact miss diane, in the summer we were still people were getting on the bus, the traffic light turned red. people got on from the cross walk. i started driving off, then the blast happened. broken glass smoke, i couldn't understand what happened. people helped evacuated so that there were people who were seriously injured. shortly after this tragedy took place, the regions governor called for a full inspection of the entire regions, public transport vehicle. now that inspection has since concluded, and it came up with no new problems connected to any of the regions, the transport vehicle. but again, like i said, this investigation is continuing, its continuing to try to find out what exactly cause this explosion. and we'll bring our viewers the latest details as they become available. british state broadcast, the b b. c has been out thrushes decision to expel a veteran journalist. most respondents ringsford or he's been working in that capacity for the past 7 years. as it was really been told for accreditation won't be extended when it expires this month. or the easy was done of shows lights on the control busy country. the russian foreign ministry has refused to renew the work. these as well. several reigns for a correspondent with b, b, c, him in russia and she will apparently have to leave the country by the end of this month already. but according to the spokeswoman of the russian foreign ministry marie as a honda, they took this step in response to the actions of the you case for an office, have a listen. the anglo saxon media group dismissed multiple warnings by the russian foreign ministry, that relevant measures would be taken in response to london's fees are put downs target and the russian correspondent in the u. k. republish statements on a regular basis offer in the british side to stop prosecute in russia, journalists. so here's the thing, the so called tenants of reciprocity has long been a cornerstone of russian diplomacy. in fact, for the past several years in playing terms, it means that if any country in the world takes hostile steps against russia, something that russia doesn't feel is justin doesn't feel it's right than russia and moscow reserves the right to respond accordingly to basically mirror reactions and do something very, very similar. so this is what the russian foreign ministry is saying happening with well, sarah rains forward. according to the russian foreign ministry, several russian journalists back in 2019 failed to get work visas in the u. k. one of them, for example, didn't, i didn't have the visa renewed and another one simply didn't get one at all. and so for the past several years since 2019 the russian foreign ministry, russian diplomats have been pointing at thes

k. tax payers money for these aberrations of justice cases. the whole thing is going to be can't depend on the trash. and on this issue, anybody 33 in the mainstream major in the u. k. r o. notice if they get that bar behind these, they're going to be next. on january, the 4th, the british judge had ruled sonjee couldn't be expedited to america. fighting concerns about his mental health and the risk of suicide. any us prison records remain in a british high security prison. he's considered a flight risk and to spend the last decade, either in a prison or the ecuadorian embassy in london. when a decision on the soldiers later hearing isn't expected. and so we often go outside the high court authority supporters were protesting against his extradition, including former opposition leader, jeremy coven, is under threatened to his impression, in many companies. what is what is also known as the threats of example? what is news corporation? huge control of most media had a vision, radio and french media, and they become miss. tell sent on gen, journalist richard to us to watch the video stream of the hearing and says he was being disturbed by what he saw. i literally did a

really looks completely. i mean, you know, part of the rash assessment. he looked very awful and ill and with this is normal because the whole point of the high court, preliminary hearing today was to discuss his health. right. so we had extensive medical witness testimony during the extradition, hearing at the bailey back in september and october. and this was again, brought up today and is going to be brought up again in october and up in the high court that his health is deteriorated. he's been tortured, and this is, i'm a journalist who's not serving a sentence. he's not a criminal and he's in a maximum security prison in britain's guantanamo bay. i mean, someone needs to explain that to me what is happening because this is completely unjust and it's a crime against press freedoms and it's, it's an a front against his personal health. the most important thing about this case is press great because when you have someone who's publishing, you know, work documenting war crimes from the united states in ghana, santa and iraq, to people again, they think this is something to do with 2015. absolutely nothing to do 2015. he's being charged. julian authority being prosecuted biting faith because he published documents relating to iraq and afghanistan. you published evidence of war crimes of kidnapping rendition and torture. but if the high school students in the state of oregon will no longer have to prove that proficient in reading, writing and mathematics in order to graduate, according to the law, signed by the governor ortiz. caleb morphin as the story, according to the bill that was signed into law in the state of oregon last month. students in order to graduate from high school in the state of oregon will no longer have to prove that they're capable of reading, writing, or performing basic mathematical operations. this is don, according to the bills language, to help students from communities that have quote, historically experienced academic disparities. the testing that we've been doing in the past doesn't tell us what we want to know. we want to have kids getting a chance to do and learn and be curious about everything. and what we've been doing is stopping their curiosity. now the bill from what it's supporters say is about trying to help students who are from immigrant populations or refugees who have come to the states who the examinations and the tests required for graduation are seen as kind of a barrier to them getting the high school diploma now, reportedly these rules will now be in place for the next 5 years now. the bill was signed into law without much fanfare. there was no signing ceremony. there was no press release announcing the bill, and it was added to the database a few days after it was signed and now i was last month. and now there's been quite as strong a negative reaction. this is the progressive left form of education, dummy down kids. you are taking away the only tool to get to break the poverty cycle. this is the type of legislation that they want to make black people a permanent underclass. these requirements were suspended during the pandemic due to the circumstances, but now this suspension of those requirements has been fully signed into law in the state of oregon. now it's possible that the federal department of education could step in to overturn these requirements. but many see this as a trend of lowering standards. for example in the state of new york, they're getting rid of some of the examinations and tests that were once required. many critics are arguing there's kind of a dumbing down of american education. they see this as a result of that as, as, as a continuing of a process in which the academic standards are lowered across the united states. a former organ republican bought his sherman perry atkinson says the new law could drag down mistakes entire education system has really upset a lot of people in the oregon parents, in particular, school boards across the state are very upset about it. and i think that the fall out is just now starting to happen. it's somewhat races. i mean, you're putting a class of people down and you're bringing everybody down in time. are you forcing colleges to lower their standards in order to get students to pay their bills? the whole system of education gets damaged by this. i think that there's plenty opportunities. there are what we have headstart systems here in oregon. we have tutoring system. we got everything in place to help a student, the struggling to succeed. that's what education is about not to bring the whole system down. this bill will create an evacuation out of public schools in the private schools and homeschooled, and that in turn will hurt them financially. is one of the most things in the symbols of the vietnam war, agent orange, the extremely deadly and toxic homicide of the photo and used by the us military and the campaign. the chemical calls the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people. the last thing effects of passed out across generations morning view is may find the next images upsetting. ah me, that was born in 1975. and i was missing both my arms at the elbow down and my left leg from the knee down. the hospital that i was born in never seen anything like that. so they weren't sure if i was going to live or die. and it's made my life pretty difficult growing up because i had to adjust to everything. ah . they were just following orders. they weren't arguing that they weren't gonna spread. they were commanded by the officials to spread. so they had to do what they were told to do. i several major court cases against me every single one day when i'm not sure why they won't take responsibility, but as it is right now, over 8000000 people have died from the effects of aging. and there's countless numbers of people, more number, disfigured and deformed and they have cancer, tumors. you can't even really name them all because of just so many. ah, this me, my mom live in the veteran. my disability would be a 100 percent over budget and they would take full responsibility for us and it was my dad. they said that there is no way that he kind of affected the veterans. kids and the veterans themselves have serious health issues and medication is like outrages please me. like i know several of my friends that are children of vietnam veterans and with the illnesses that they have. they literally spend thousands and thousands of dollars a month out of their own pocket because the us government will even the why the medication they need or they illnesses, and they've got from the exposure hands against pressure hollywood to paint us minute. trina favorable light, according to the same document, we'll take you through the foster flop off

wildfires continue to raise rushes for wrists. thick smoke is covered cities in the crew. t and reportedly reached as far as the north pole volunteers, firefighters is what has heavy machinery and forces are always open, trying to extinguish the flames. it's heavy and exhausting. work has ought to be true. power discovered when he joined one helicopter troop heading to the front line. so all about take my 1st helicopter right. before a better reason. we're going to take a look over the fires of the region, just north of the capital. of course, we're going to see how about the situation is because right now the fires are threatening several villages. we will see just how about it is and deliver supplies to the people on the ground fighting it and well take off. this isn't scary at all . on the way to the village of the views were stunning, but the closer we got to the village day became somewhat terrifying. first it's clear skies and endless horizon. and just moments later, it's a wall of smoke. soon as we land, we see a whole bunch of heavy machinery. mister defense has a lot of military equipment, vehicles, and trucks and everything to this region because it's the most under threat right now from the flyers. armored personnel carriers, a couple of heavy duty diggers and several trucks. their purpose to create a mineralized zone there which the fire will not be able to pass, but no less important. are the human reinforcements, fearless, volunteers, and professional firefighters. they too are getting ready to head out to battle the fires. we, on the other hand are moving on. we travel to a nearby field where 2 trucks full of firefighters are having difficulties getting through the dense forest fires. so we lend them our helicopter right now, all the stuff of all these firefighters that have been deployed here to help with the efforts. by the way, these are 40 firefighters that have traveled all the way from the other side of russia, from cordelia mormons, car, hunger. they who have battled wildfires in their home regions this summer. but now that they have finished the job at home, they've traveled to korea to aid their fellow colleagues. and there they go to the front line of the seemingly endless battle. we came from more money to help the regions modem and we will work to extinguish the fires, we will do everything we can when we go back to your cursor and on the way we are once again reminded of just how chaotic situation is with the several more fires and even a new one apparently as we circle around it and the fire washers known as location on their maps. all anom, not bad for my 1st helicopter flight. russia is not the only country battling wildfires, volunteers and firefighters in greece are also still fighting flames. their stroke video shows the extent of the damage in recent days. thousands of been about collected from the region on the greek prime minister has apologize, so they've done everything humanly possible with it. it wasn't enough. he also described the situation as a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions. almost 600 wildfires across the country with several european states assist in greece in his fight. i see them in a vacation order was sent to me. what should we do? just gets up and go. we can't. if we don't save our houses, who will? they're doing nothing. today is the 4th day and there are no aircraft yesterday. they only carried out to water drones. yeah, the local people saved the place to rest with little children left of course, but we are not leaving. even if the fire reaches to see, we will not leave our village, we will stay for as long as we can and do whatever we can do. we're going to stay here and try to save a place. we need to stay strong for our children. or the other the pentagon has been reaching a bullying hollywood into betraying the minute train a favorable lights, according to nearly obtained documents. it also demands group that it's with one tv series even getting the wings clipped by us top ross goes and seen rosco off investigate propaganda on the silver screen. so the d o d 's been waging war the creative freedom is scrape writers and directors. perhaps the most blatant case is the 200-1900 c b s. trauma serious. the code about marine corps lawyers, which was canceled soon after a release go pack, were headed to the as it turns out, the military saw the 1st after i was before they went on air and was upset about his story line showing a marine turn congress magic he's there, brutally execute, and then iraqi civilian and another service man who killed a spanish citizen while drunk driving. marine corps leadership was apparently provided advance copies of several of the episodes and was displeased enough that they communicated what they sore serious shortcomings in the depiction of the marines. cbs television has indicated a desire to correct the problems in future episodes by accepting deer de assistance as a 1000 pentagon's official web page. the department has a long standing relationship with hollywood. what it keeps quiet about is how many tradeoffs it costs to filming community. remember, homeland and american long run and espionage thriller, the carrion cobble for a week or 2. when, according to the files, the producers asked the us army to support the final season, filming, but initially were turned down by the military. after they saw the script on the entertainment office is currently in talks of the producers of homeland who have asked the modern army support, initial request is declined due to a storyline, that was not an accurate portrayal of soldiers. sure, in a responded with some significant edits to the problematic areas. army has agreed to provide support as requested. show runners responded with significant ad. it's what they were. we don't know why. what we do know is that how lens final season speculates on a full story that the russians funded talia about insurgence and also plays up the consequence of the us withdrawal from against then. sounds like something that american army bosses might like. the pentagon doesn't always get its way though the same internal report suggests christopher no one a hot shot hollywood director, simply snubbed the military as they showed their appetite for a script at its continued discussion. supportive chris nolan thriller, merry go round working title support. request that includes use of all spray and chic efraim. pse and g p. an air force of indicated interest. if military characterizations are rewritten, emphasizing military mission request for support of chris snowden. thriller, merry go round working title. seemed to have stopped likely causes that produce direct, were reluctant to make changes needed to gain d o d support. others like captain marbles co directors and a bowden and wine flag had to cozy up to the defense department report leave. they had lunch with air force, top command, and took part in a professional development session, whatever that means, before the film's release. no wonder a marvel movies are being branded as military propaganda in the media. more and more. the internal reports coverages, 2 years of pentagon, hollywood cooperation from 2017 to 2019. yet they cite scores of famous movies and tv shows that gained support or a green light from the military, including former is the last night fast and furious. a tom cruise is top gone to lays goes on, but those are the films that made it to the big screens. despite the, as a lot of stories like a documentary on guantanamo bay trials have been rejected completely and never came to be positions on the public. i've criticized forrest johnson officers official residents splash nearly 800000 pounds on 2 paintings. amid huge reductions in public spending. the lavish processes come off the government approved a 20 pound a week, cut to the commercial credit benefit system and uplift introduced to support low income families at the start of the pandemic. that's on top of a pay for ease for teachers and police, along with the payroll of just 3 percent for health workers on the coven frontline, the prime minister spending priorities. it's always about himself, as government cuts, universal credit and freezes, frontline nurse police pay. johnson has found more money to treat himself again, and a chess is in desperate need of funding on the pay rise in order to be able to recruit and retain staff and catch up with the enormous backlog of work. so i think the issue about the paintings is something covered irrelevant. my understanding is it's largely paid for through public money rather than donors. as the government has suggested, that government is going back down stairs the route. whereas the beginning of the coven, we were able to see that when money was needed, it could be found. and in fact, the treasury lenses came up with a loss of money in its initial time efforts to help the n h s. response of the crisis. and now i wanted to turn the top off again. well, it's not the 1st time bookings lead is been question for expensive po improvements in may, the from ministers, advisor, understand it? said johnson had been unwise in how costly he refurbishments on his private plans of downing street were funded. the lead hills in which johnson had still not disclose. they saw him, the government defended the work purchased by saying most of the cash came from private. don't. the government, our collection helps to promote the creativity of british art and culture. it requires new work, such consulting and securing the approval of an independent expert panel. and the majority of funding for acquisitions comes from philanthropic sources. not taxpayers money. the former head of an english health service trust told us the timing of this latest scandal couldn't be worth i think is a very poor decision. on this occasion. i think there are 2 reasons why bad judgment we have firstly, we've just recently gone through a pay a pay round without nursing stuff where the government have been pretty mean in the way that they've approached it. and secondly, of course is the overall economic situation. so whether or not these are good paintings and whether or not that good value for money is not as important as what does it look like? what do people think when they see the economy is not very good. we've just denied frontline and stuff. a decent play. rise and the prime ministers hanging too expensive paintings in the sitting room. another 10, a just

>> i could have ended up in a radar station in alaska. >> reporter: alexander hit send on his retirement papers and left the army to become an historical footnote. >> how many officers in the united states army can pinpoint exactly the moment they made a difference. that seems like a small price to pay, a small sacrifice for my nation. >> reporter: do you remember how you ended your opening statement?

in a climate of racism. >> reporter: in 2012, the father apologized for killing chin, but insisted it was never about race, something the asian-american and pacific islander community has heard again -- >> he does claim it was not racially motivated. >> reporter: -- and again. back in march, a gunman shot up three atlantic area spas. among the eight killed, six were women of asian descent. on tuesday, the killer pleaded guilty to four of the murders, and was handed four life sentences without parole. while prosecutors in one county charged him with a hate crime, those in another one did not. what do you say to critics who argue these are not crimes motivated by hate; these are just crimes of opportunity? >> i just say to them, they're not paying attention. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> reporter: congress recently passed the covid-19 hate crimes act, introduced by senator hirono, and represent grace ming. they hope it will make reporting a hate crime easier, and give federal oversight to expedite the review process. the law is largely seen as the first step. journalist and activist zia says the nation needs to go much further. >> history shows that this is going to be more than a moment. >> reporter: there are renewed demands across the nation to teach asian-american and pacific islander history in schools, in the hopes that people will see beyond the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, or the scapegoat. >> there really has to be a concerted, thoughtful effort to try to teach what america really is so that we can build a country that everybody feels like we're part of it. watch cbs in bay area with the kpix 5 news app. > pauley: 40 years ago, a brand new cable channel called mtv took the nations and the airwaves by storm. our serena altschul looks back on an idea that rocked the world. >> reporter: on this day, back in 1981, i was 10 years old and know exactly what i was doing. i was glued to the tv set, watching the start of a pop culture phenomenon. >> ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll. ♪ >> reporter: that was the beginning of mtv, and i was hooked. mtv changed entertainment and the music industry forever. ♪ >> reporter: with record companiesah content that it the played non-stop. it wasn't a channel your parents wanted you to watch, but that didn't stop me. no, i copied that way too much makeup look or the bracelets up my arm like madonna, and tried to be as cool as tina turner. prince and duran duran posters covered my walls. don't judge me. mtv was groundbreaking. it helped accelerate hip-hop into the mainstream. even andy warhol had a show. >> andy warhol's 15 minutes. >> reporter: and did you know that modern-day reality tv was perfected on mtv, with the real world, the o osbournes, and jersey shore. in the '90s, the network known for escapism embraced it. i joined in 1996 as a news correspondent for the "choose or lose" campaign and was lucky enough to stick around for another decade. my most memorable experience was working in the field, from documentaries about true life and unfiltered to my own series, "breaking it down." but my coolest moment was definitely being asked by jay z to appear on one of his albums. yes, that was amazing. mtv definitely had its highs, but there have also been lows. and what was new is now nostalgic. still, 40 years after its creation, mtv continues to reinvent itself. it is now known as mtv entertainment, part of the viacom cbs family. the brand is in 180 countries with a reach of nearly two billion people. and to celebrate the past, present, and future of mtv, here is the new logo, unveiled for the first time. by the way, even my sweet mom came around to liking mtv. she actually loved be bevous and butthead. mtv, here is to another 40. feed your dog's inner wolf with blue wilderness. for your b best back t to scl smile, , crest hahas you coveve ed. nice smimile, brad!! nicece! ththanks!?
