u. k. well look at the airports and since 3 am, monday morning, the flights have been coming in and some emotional scenes in apple concourse as with relatives, reunited many of them of the 2 years separation friends also. but it isn't all elation because as a lot of concern about of the u. k. health status with the the delta variant having picked a very high level and has dramatically reduced since mid july. but there are still concerns about the relaxation of the so called traffic light system in the u. k. the amber warning applying to the united states and also the europe in union and switzerland that's been lifted now it's gone green. it means that there has to be a cove it test before the flights of further cobra test on arrival. but apart from that wide open then to a vast number of people. the hope being that the tourist industry will be revive the. the ation industry will also get a shot in the arm, excuse the pardon, but also a business will be given a, a big boost because of this, but t

u. k. on forces. ben carter said that there were very few flights still to come back to britain. well, they carried on friday night into saturday morning u k. u time, but it's just in the last hour a royal air force plane has landed at a base in oxford show north of london carrying members of the military, some of the 1000 or so personnel still based in afghanistan. so it seems that the military pull out has already started, and of course that happens that has to start happening once the civilian evacuations a done so it really does seem like the civilian evacuations are being wound up. and nick carter has put the number of people eligible to come to the u. k. on the repatriation lists, but who haven't made it at what he said the how you hundreds on friday the government was saying 802-1000 afghans and then 10250 british national. some sources in the u. k. believe it's significantly higher than that, given the high number of calls, for example, m p. 's have been receiving from constituents with relatives in afghanistan and charities. here in the u. k as well. whatever the case, the u.

u. k. although she's never denied her guilt, she fled back to the u. s. claiming diplomatic immunity, an extradition request by the u. k, was denied. well, in july the u. k. prime minister raised the issue in the meeting with joe biden, the latter expressed sympathy to the family and said the 2 countries were working together on the case. later this month hurried those parents will come face to face with mister coolest. for the 1st time in a court house, in virginia of a civil claim they filed is heard the done from the spokesperson again. so you progress is being made thanks to continued media coverage. we count many americans amongst us as our friends. we've supported these people for decades and diminished . one of their employees killed harry lar reaction was to not stop and think about this family and the consequences that they faced. but they thought about themselves, they recalled her, and the catastrophic miscalculation that they made was that nobody would find out about it. and thanks to your good sales to your colleagues in the media, thank goodness you all came to this family support. this issue is never going to go away unti

well, the u. k. defense secretary ben wallace says plus his troops will leave afghanistan alongside us forces. he says it's unrealistic for them stay any longer. g 7 leaders . a meeting on tuesday to discuss coordination on the evacuation process. 19 bava is lifers in london and 18 the u. k. then saying it will leave alone finds the americans. does that mean the on august 31st 1st, who it says that they are working towards as well? well, it's hard to tell, but that message is we can't do it without the americans being that, but we'd love them to give, give us some more time. the case armed forces minister james, he p in the last 2 hours he said, but in a 24 hour period, the u. k. evacuated over 1800 people. and in one week they've got 6000. in fact, more than 6000 people out of afghanistan, and he says that names are being added all the time to the relocation list. he says that the focus of the u. k. right now is on getting around 1800 u. k. possible holders out of the country as well as 2275 people

u. k. u and russia? well, clearly in some senses, the relations between the u. k. the you and russia, art are pretty poor state right now, given the level of activity. this is happened over recent years involving members of the russian intelligence service leaks. that's the accusation from western governments, both in the e u, the u. k. and others there accusation that russian officials, russian representatives, russian intelligence, service operatives have been active in their minds in parts of the e. u. certainly in the united kingdom, people will recall a level of activity that the british government accuses the russians of complicity in, in the u. k. regarding the case of the script pass, the russian family, the father and daughter who were the victims of a navi shock poisoning some time ago. but there be more recent development. certainly in the course of the last few months in june. here in germany, a russian research assistant working at the university of augsburg was arrested by german police. the accusation that the person concerned had been handing over i

well, something the u. k. officials have said as well, do you think nathan pulls his western forces? couldn't we to prove to the country despite the clear will on the clear lack of will rather of the public to see that happening. i think it was very hard to betray nato countries to put themselves back in afghanistan, given the total failure of the past mission. they would have to be some very, very, very strong reason to do so. and simply the before the government, i don't think is strong enough for robinson athena by steel. that's all. thanks so much for joining us in the program. good savvy with us now, british forces are also withdrawing, but the country's defense secretary's already gravely warning. but i've got to start on the brink of collapse calling the us decision, a mistake. and wall that says kind of a militant, clearly have momentum across the country and i've got to thought is heading towards civil war predicting to the bottles. god nation will again become a breeding ground for al qaeda. reporti

u. k been handling this well, has him. the u. k. government has already admitted in the last few days, despite evacuating around $15000.00 afghan civilians from out out of the country. they will be leaving behind the embarrassment surround, or up to 1100 africans who are on official lists of people eligible to come here because they worked with british forces for the main part. some people think the figure is much higher. there are reports in the sunday press that thousands of e mails from members of parliament and charities to the foreign office detailing cases urgent cases of people who needed to be evacuated, went on and said, well, whatever the case, the case pledging to bring in to allow 5000 afghans into the u. k. over the next year on the rich resettlement program, and it's just an ounce. what it's calling operation was welcome. there's a new minister for resettlement. but in the short term, with these hundreds of people who already arrived around the country, the government saying it's working hard to work with charities,

u. k. as well, for the meantime, thanks for joining us for the weekly program here on the international la 12 30 am now heading into monday morning here at moscow. we are back in half an hour. hope you can join me. ah ah, is the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff based on, you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that was like a dog in class, like a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trays like a monopoly makes money like a monopoly behave like monopoly. amazon essentially controlled the marketplace. it's not really a market, it's a private arena where a single company controls the distribution of daily products. and the infrastructure of our economy is the, according to amazon. ah, united states economy have never been better shape. we have created a higher standard of living or a country with. ready okay, terrific. kinds of b

u. k. court. that's very syringe. ok, well the news here in britain is north's, about that, in fact, the world global mainstream news had time to talk about jeff bezos going to space. that's a much more important story than the daughter of famous publisher in the world. maybe amazon quick to shut down a w s. their web services system for an s. so the israeli pegasus system, after having to see the national, started talking about all this spyware. great success, no problem. i know that we have leaks of often talked about amazon's close links to the intelligence services. i mean, that's so that's so that should not be the end of it. i mean, there must be an outcry in the, in the public. and as we've said for 10 years, and i was doing the trans pointed out 10 years ago, i mean, the nice it needs to be a regulation of industry. ok, i'm sure amazon, it's just an online bookshelf. obviously, i just, finally, i mean, you know, time and time again, those defending wiki leaks have talked about the us constitution about norms, internati

u. k. pay 15 pounds for your company. signed no physical documents to do so, provide no proof of identity, which you would have to do so in any the recognized fact based in the well form your company that trade for a while and then get rid of it. and literally the company's house in the u. k. will get rid of your company on payment of 10 pounds and the declaration that is never traded, whether that is true or not. so this is the place which provides the greatest opportunity for tax cheats in the world. now we should be clear saying that back in the power will not, i don't understand why we want to undermine our own economy by providing the opportunity for tax cheats to thrive within it. to provide the people of many other countries to what the cheat taxes in their own country is the opportunity to do that. but frankly, it is easy to for the company, it is easy to t t t taxes. in fact, your goal using a u. k. healthy now that a company, a jersey, the payment british regina is almost whatever you like tonight. ok, this isn't an advert. for instance, for the rich i was just thinking about. but i mean, could even co, with vaccine companies were doing there apparently

u. k. troops as well sent in to evacuate, the embassy staff. all people worried and what are the options for people who were actual support from taliban in cobble? when you hear the western embassy is to listen to the cobble is not safe for when you hear them deploying forces, saying that this is specifically to evacuate their own, you know, citizens. it does not instill confidence in the african government during the african peoples. i'm sure the presence of thought cobbler province in within the city is now an open secret because the taliban sleepers. so the number of attacks that they launched and targeted assassinations targeting government officials, pilots, judges mean that they have a presence. and what is a city like cargo? it's panic, it's chaos. even though the memories of the 1990 is a very fresh when i went to a very dark period, i must also highlight another point that cobbler had no electricity for days. because this fighting in the province of babylon imported electricity towers from us based on war despite fuel prices. food comm

u. k. as well for the meantime, your weekly program with the top highlights of the past 7 days on international news, continues in about half an the look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except when such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence with psyche. hattrick drugs are essential for millions of patients or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work. the problem is, in a long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition that was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these dif

u. k. charlie angela there with all the latest reaction from your 4th from london. thank you, charlie. well, meanwhile, as we've been saying, the pentagon spokesman and the u. s. has twisted, we can confirm that the explosion at the abbey gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in the number of u. s. and civilian casualties. we can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the baron hotel. a short distance from abbey gate will continue to update, and we've now also had reaction to this attack in kabul from nato secretary general installs. and back you will see tweeted and said, i strongly condemn the heretic terrorist attack outside couple airport. my thought so with all those effected on their loved ones, priority remains to evacuate as many people to safety as quickly as possible. well, speaking of evacuation that speak to charlotte bellis in cobble, she's been spending a lot of time outside to couple airport. charlotte, glad to see that you are safe. can you talk us through what the situation looks like? they're on the ground now at the airport? well, we left the

u. k. is reaction well, all options on the table is the latest from the u. k. the defense secretary friend wallace, as he tries to prevent an all out civil war enough on the stone is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the country. now, ever since us taliban peace still. what we've seen is nature that we have all begun to retreat, but what's left is this how a political vacuum in the region, seeing the taliban totally taking control and tipping that balance of power? now not only will a poverty of course increase on political de stabilisation, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise. and that's why you case, defendant secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. we were in this position where it's all about how clearly to manage across the country take our leaving. that was announced yesterday. we are leaving alongside them. and that leaves a, as you say, a very, very big problem on the ground developing with the taliban failed states around the world lead to instability lead to a security threat to

u. k. elsewhere. well it's been, it's been in some of the means online already that some people are coming things regarding up kennesaw, the taliban, it took for us presidents and trillions of dollars to take off kindest. on from the taliban to give it back to the taliban. chris talked to us about the, the timing of the explosions around the cobbled airport. why would any militant group target essentially civilians, women, and children who are desperate to flay? what's the point? well, firstly, to point so you can go. so given warnings of this way, as the fact that you sent this to happen is clearly postway that the presence of american of western troops is an obvious target for any of these groups. secondly, the people trying to get this done by these groups. traces by the taliban, the moment they're allowing them to leave, but suddenly by hard core groups isis. so they have no nope, agitation in kind of a terrorist attack, which fortunately the whole it would be able to kill western soldiers. and it cert

u. k as well. so the meantime, thanks for joining us for the weekly program here. on the international, the 12 30 am now heading into monday morning here at moscow. we are back in half an hour. hope you can join me. ah.

u. k. as well. for the meantime, for this hour, that wraps up the weekly. however, my colleague shawn thomas here with the desk and half an hour's time with the highlights of the past week here on asi international joining the 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, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the the me the versus me ah, welcome 12 the part of the great power politics is not different from the jostling place in a high school hierarchy. the guys playing games of him against one another. well, trying to marshal bothers, apply the pacific.

u. k right now? well, actually, the euro's, of course, ended in july left. and up until that there was a massive build up a lot of spending. and i think that the client actually was freedom day was the 19th of july on people who go on vacation. you know, people are not doing what they normally do, they're not spending the same kind of money at home and not celebrating because the euro's was a big bump. and i think a lot of that decline is somewhat people are a little bit sick of this. and i think it's a delta variant to the ping demik really damper, i think on the spirits of the u. k. people won't going out to shop. and there are a lot of people will actually, i mean at least what i heard a lot of businesses people would be ready to buy, but they were ending up. so by selling because about taylor is waiting for me to say something about the euros in england losing, but i'm not going to do it hillary, which if the british american out of the asia do thank you so much pleasure. and finally, from one shortage to another liquid oxygen is in short supply causing

u. k. as well. and all the while of course, everybody engaging in sort of anguish behind the scenes policy making, trying to decide how to deal with the taliban empower whether to begin to deal with them will consider them a legitimate government and office will consider continue to consider them as many have a terrorist group, but in a sense this evacuation is giving some cover to those instance. the is the need for that decision to be taken. the urgency is to get people out. so whether it's germany or the u. k or, or problems or the netherlands of the check republican ukraine all are engaged in this collective effort they're doing. so under delta conditions, as we've seen, they're doing serving and ever dwindling security window at cobble airport with the u. s. suggesting they might only be willing to stay on the ground. we'll be able to hold that perimeter for around 72 hours. we're not talking about insignificant numbers here. the u. k. say they've got 4000 people on the ground. they need to mov

u. k. do really well so far. is there still that concern that it could be the delta variant or any other variance that could hurt the economy just out as it's recovery? why? thank you right, rachel? it could be anywhere. everybody's concerned about it thus far, and i'm not a doctor nor my associate just all signed, told us. but i will say this. it is so for proport, so papa ported to be more infectious but way less deadly. so i think that has people less scared. i also think it's like many things in life. i think the nation in the u. k. like the u. s. people who become accustomed to this people are accustomed to mosques in the u. k. people are very, i would say, socially conscious and sort of a, a, b, b. i says they follow the rules. that is the nation with the largest percentage of people that have been vaccinated. that's due to the national health service and their roll out plan. so what was the vaccination, the ma squaring, conscious social distancing? overall, i think people are just going to cope with it. we

u. k or america also in canada as well. in the u. k. for example, it's enough to simply identify as a woman and have a gender recognition certificate, even if the prisoner has a functional male genitalia. and we've heard some female prisoners telling us that concerns about this. your thoughts, peter? well, absolutely, those concerns are totally valid. but initially the big boss, i mean, if a trends woman has a history of violence or sexual assault against women as a male or as a trans omen, then that clearly has to be taken into account. and unless they have reformed, unless there is some clear evidence, they posed no risk, then there is a case they should not be able to freely mix in a woman's prison. so i think individual assessment is very important. i think this is one of the failings of the prison system. it does need to assess, indeed, all prisoners coming in to jails to assess their risk and danger they may pose to other inmates. and in cases where there is this history of sexual violence or physical violence. and i think that th

well, if one man was responsible for revealing to the world, the extent of u. k. u. s. secrets about there was after $911.00. it is julian sanchez wiki leaks . organization published the afghan war logs, which pulled the rug and the so called mainstream media reporting of the war in afghanistan is reward, has been persecution, detention, and torture. and this week he lost his latest school battle against joe biden's administration. he faces 175 years in prison, going underground social media. producer phenomena went down to the protests of the high court and caught up with form a u. k. opposition lead to jeremy colbin, one of the many voices calling for a son. his freedom already be your message to forest johnson. of course, it's up to him whether julian, the thought is actually for 175 years. i would say devoris johnson, you've made your life before he became an m p. as a journalist, a career as a journalist during the song, his uncovered and lots of uncomfortable traits around the world. that is the function of true journalism. and i think that johnson should refle

u k. troops leave? well, look at what's happening and one sound right now is a ground 0 off american ambition. the failure all the american policy of the 3 formation and democracy creation failed. but so had the big push in reconciliation with the bond that they have sought to legitimize the giving wrong to the 5000 prisoners from a 100 prisoners that they have been given power to. so just say now that back a son is responsible for she's not giving thanks judy that, that her mom don't me thank to re they live in lash whatever rules and apartment the door. and they also have access to it. i know, you know, has a state now there are many, many actors and players interested in responsibility. but i think the sun is in the front line of those smith, not sure. i'm not child clothes, iran and the taliban given that iran has taken in around 800000, maybe a 1000000 more than a 1000000 refugees. did nato troops to invade the wrong country? i mean, after 911 sure. they have invaded pakistan because it was packaged som

u. k is not well, yes, that's right, significant for the thousands of people who served in the armed forces in afghanistan, including a number of conservative m. p. 's right now. and some of the biggest anger towards the government has come from from them. they are using words like betrayal over the way that the u. k. has failed to evacuate all of the interpreters and other staff who worked with the armed forces over the years in afghanistan. there is also a network of people in the u. k who say they've been doing over the last week or more the job that the british administration authorities should have been doing in trying to literally get people on the line in the cub old through those checkpoints, through the pool kate's on to planes. they say that it has been left to them in a shambolic way, and they are really worried about what's going to happen to the people left behind . now tom, to going to has a conservative member of parliament says that the phone if as committee, which he shares is going to investigate a report in the times newspaper that far off his staff in kabul at the embass

u. k. now as well, the raising of open conflict may be also innovations in orthodontics. we get a glimpse that the cutting edge tech being developed by one leading dental firm here in moscow. ok, so moment of truth and point my on my line on the you know what? i see pretty prison. i don't feel that's changed the way that i speak. i use hello just a mid day. you know this monday. the 3rd 2nd. rather who gets life from of his world the century most goes kevin know into bring you later. thanks. he company was you heard the mass demonstrations and golfing france, germany, italy, to us police clash with protested over the type of cobra restriction. the reports that one protest are in germany and they've collapsed and died later in the hospital to sincerely, july, daily infection cases in western europe have remains relative low, but they are still on the rise. the the we've seen these protests across western europe be particularly in france and italy, and here in germany as well as people are unhappy with coven restrictions that are being put in place and take care when it com

well the u. k says it could return to get this done. if al qaeda is allowed to flourish the again and threatened the west and re, simmons is a correspondence. so and clearly the london government anticipating a may be but a dangerous situation, weeks, months or a couple of years down the line. it would certainly appear so as certainly is no real sign of a special relationship, military or diplomatically with the united states. right now ben wallace, the defense minister, has been making quite clear about he disagreed profoundly with the us president donald trump. when he was in dough hall in 20, 20 february 2020 signing up on a deal with the tunnel for the withdrawal of us forces. that means, according to the defense minister here, there's no way a britain could. you don't actually not be part of but be actually part of a presence in afghanistan has to pull out. however, he was pressured on this point and did say that the baby african stone is a failed state would be a breeding ground for al qaeda. and taliban may well a renee on assura

u. k, and they may well be elsewhere. a furious debate, debate ongoing, about responsibility about accountability, about why they couldn't stay just because the u. s. left about the manner of this exit one very prominent voice in the conservative party. and then people talk to that call to get an object failure, a british foreign policy set that against the prime minister, boris johnson, who spoke late on sunday. he said the government was committed to do all it can to honor its promise to remove african support staff from the country. but he said the new priority was to ensure that this country does not again descend into becoming a breeding ground for tara, his words. and it seems that is shaping up now is the new sort of benchmark for success in afghanistan. jonah, thanks so much. jenna, how correspondent that gauging the european reaction live now to aging and corresponding their katrina you who's joining us here on the news a katrina. it's the chinese government doing what the russians are doing. they're very that the

well, fair enough. one might imagine the u. s. has evacuated the largest number of national so far and plans to rescue 22000 refugees by the end of august as well. the u. k. authorities have brought back more than 300 british citizens and over 2000 off guns. germany, which was slammed for only taking 7 people on his 1st plan out of cobble, has now helped almost a 1000. as a correspondent peter oliver now picks up this story. well, what we've been hearing here in germany from the interior ministers of the 16 states that make up the federal republic is there petitioning whole state hope of the federal interior minister saying germany needs a new african refugees program, the official message, or the message coming from the top of government here in berlin low is that they want to see african refugees housed and looked after in neighboring countries to galveston. countries like a ron and pakistan as well. what we've heard from angular merkel though is she says there are lessons that must be learned from what's happened enough gone and these are still missing. at this point, i can say that we have nor did she tell goals, and we have to discuss more lessons.

u. k. japan, and sing a poll. well, we could have 2 hurricanes form in the days ahead. jeff, tracking our world, whether updates high, there are a lot of ground to cover, get you up to speed with some tropical trouble that we're tracking. so 1st step toward the mexico's pacific coast, we've got this disturbance throwing what, whether it's worth acapulco, let's press play. see where it goes. this could strengthen into a hurricane as it eyes the baja peninsula. of course, a popular tourist destination there of cobbler san lucas. next award, the caribbean sea. and we have seen cascading brain for jamaica with this disturbance going to clip western cuba. it looks to gain strength through those warm waters of the gulf of mexico. this model wants to put it taking aim at the u. s. state of louisiana, which is not good news when you consider places like new orleans low lines. so this will have a big impact. south america, rain still falling, cross the venezuelan lp's, where we have seen some deadly landslides, as of late for their toward the south. this cold front punching acro

u. k. ending or haven't did the evacuation missions well, we'll have more on the u. k. by creation planning. just a few minutes with the bargains in london. a white house correspondent, kimberly how kit will bring his latest out of washington, d. c. but 1st that's cause i would say, charles stratford, who's in the african capital and charles and mid afternoon, there was a state of play. well, yes, the evacuation operation restarted this morning. and as you are reporting there, it is seriously winding down now notice to play and taking off for about the arise and to in front of the office. not being too far away. but that being increasingly few of them, we have had people walk teams down close to the airport earlier today. they was saying that the charlie bond had pushed a lot of the remaining people back to an area about 500 meters behind the outer perimeter, which is the area that they have controlled. and very few people there. bear in mind, despite thousands, tens of thousands having been lifted out, there are thousands more who haven't managed to get on those flight

well. would that be a fantasy? yes. yeah. yeah. i think the, we're seeing in the u. k. after years, basically since $979.00 of a perception of the state being sinister. and, you know, the great stature crusade was, get the state of people, set people free, a completely new perception, in which it becomes the benevolent liberator from the pandemic. i do think it is such a direct connection. you know, the n a chess. and then these techs to go and get a vaccine that it has changed the perception of those in government across the u. k. now, that could well be flex. public opinion is all over the place at the moment. and you'll write the morris johnson early on a made a series. you can see it. i mean, his old special advisor dominic coming says don't texting about tweeting about this all the time. you could see the mistakes, parable mistakes. and yet, johnson, one of his all skills, is to sort of the public calling to poll, say we are being the same with anyone. now, that is not the case. but there is, you know, the default position for a lot of politicians is disillusionmen
