u. s. know repeatedly again and again, ignored signs that, that, of growing weakness among the afghans that a powerful levels of corruption, the government was just like, you know, going through the motions of fighting the taliban. and meanwhile, you know, real conditions on the ground were growing worse and worse, but the u. s. managed to ignore it for 2 full decades. that is the real level of scandal, whatnot. then for joe biden, because as much as he has tried to draw a line under this, we still go, you know, plenty of american nationals in afghanistan. we still have plenty of african still wanting to get act of afghanistan and come to america. it's not an issue that's going to go away for him. is it? no, it's an initial got guys going to go for way for him or for the u. s. as a whole. the u. s. as a wounded giant at this point. it's reeling from the disaster and couple it is trying to show, make a show of toughness at the same time. it's weakness as a parent to all. and it's a very dangerous

u. s. is trying to play king of the hill. in essence, you know, try to cut down a competitor that's rising. the difficulty is that china is not trying to be a global hedge mom. and the u. s. is trying to maintain its position, so they, that imaginary part is all about what the u. s. perceives which china does not agree with. okay, well, i can understand you. i live in russia. i know what it feels like, sarah, let me go to you and knoxville that the problem is here is that china is rising or returning depending on how you want to look at it. and it's the very fact that it is rising is a threat or a challenge to american hegemony. and that's why i said in my introduction, it's time to start negotiating. this is a reality, chinese market is suddenly stopped developing and it's certainly, and it has no reason to listen to what the united states says, particularly when it comes to its internal affairs. so, i mean, this is the quandary we all have. china is rising and the very fact that it is rising is from watch it in perspective, a threat to it's a g

u. s. know repeatedly again and again ignored sign that, that of growing weakness among the afghans, powerful levels of corruption. the government was like going through the, the motion of fighting the taliban. and meanwhile, you know, real conditions on the ground were growing worse and worse, but the u. s. managed to ignore it for 2 full decades. that is the real level of scandal. hundreds of american citizens in afghans with visa is left stranded in afghanistan. washington is promising to look at all possible options to get them out of the country, but it is not the only problem the u. s. has left behind after 20 years of conflict . i i television now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. i and i still exist in our growing gamma stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. oh, the majority of every member behind the veteran. we now have americans stuck in afghan at the taliban in charge with mo, more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and

u. s. know similar powers have been granted. there's also been a proposal to introduce only detracts for uses of social media and taking apps with us trainings having to answer 100 point questionnaire before setting up an account if claims that would help to prevent online abuse. but critics contend that internet, he's, it should have a right anonymity. we put a show up for debate. i believe that people should be identifiable relatively quickly and relatively straightforwardly. should they do something which harms others? things like that are always useful to investigations into investigative offices because communication between individuals is usually a key part of that investigation. and evidentially very important this. this is clearly police haven, you know, police needs to do no more. we call it fascism really because this is where the government is effectively controlling the media. in this case, social media or the internet that the source of the problem is that social media an internet communication, has moved on leaps a

u. s. know of adults are going to play the game. there is an underlying current of blame, which is on helpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scale of this attack was known beforehand, old gate should have been closed as a matter of protocol, and they went, which suggest saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. we as former u. k counter terrorism intelligence officer should bridge about how such an operation should go than in a high risk situation. like that. end of the day. if you've only got one or 2 or 3 days left to carry out your evacuation, it could be argued that you constantly shut down the operation every time that as a tower. because if you do so, of course you should have an initiative to group such as i say, so perhaps even the taliban themselves, you could manufacture bomb alerts like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation. after time, even before the capture plays, the british appeared to be the people who actual

so at this juncture, the, you know, the u. s. is viewing china the way they would act if they were in china's place in china, is trying to say, look, we're not trying to do. the things you did were more internally focused. everything is about trying to help our people grow up a moderate economy. now, this is not to say, china doesn't have problems, but they're not the problems that, you know, my other guests in america said she mentioned human rights. there's a real difference between human rights in asia versus what we would perceive in the west and europe in america. human rights and asia is about having food. it's about have the opportunity. it's about having a basic services, basic socialism in essence. whereas in the us, we just equate human rights, is the ability to say whatever you want at any time. and a ballad box. but, you know, let's look at these 2 systems over the last 40 years. what has happened? china has done very well. i mean, they went from nothing 40 years ago to being the 2nd and eventually the 1st most powerf

but, you know, of course, the u. s. government, nobody did, you know, i was an admin support of the union nuclear agreement which are considered to be a win win for you on us as well as the international community. and i still feel that way. and therefore, you know, i did not hold back and i was very upfront about it. and i'm really sorry that after all these years, suddenly the us government claims that, you know, i was doing something illegal. that was the case. why didn't they give me a call 13 years ago and say you might be in violation of this? you know, far i have done with a whole number of people. if you go to the justice department's website and you will see that, you know, they made a courtesy call to send letters to these people and say, you know, did you know that you're violating foreign, you need to register and they didn't do that with me. all these years past all these, you know, engagements on behalf of us, iran reconciliation. and if there isn't, see anybody, they should have notified me. and i would

you know, the, the entire community and the u. s. military. he did not listen to, meaning obama did not listen to. and now we know our illustrious broberg doll was, you know, court martialed and guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. now he is trying to expunge his record from being dishonorably discharged. like people don't know his name already go metro obama for one second. it's arguably that he is arguably the he broke the law by making this decision before presenting congress with that. well, and that's a question, a lot of us, you know, when it was happening a time, or there was a couple people that were very upset over this robin. do you think president obama realized how important these taliban soldiers were that he was exchanging? and if he didn't, why was not told he knew president obama knew full well how important these people oral were. and it's to the taliban and the taliban. i've got to disclose here something. i in my capacity as the u. s. army ranger, i had a hand in this situation with both our goal, so i'm inti

but, you know, the u. s. has antagonized russia, especially over the last 7 or 8 years as push nato expansion in violation of a promise they had made in 1991 that they will not expand. they know. so these kind of policy, you know, create enemies and you could look at china as well. the, you know, the pivot asia policy and the obama administration is huge, military build up surrounding china and push for the g p. p. i mean, china naturally becomes more alarms, more apprehensive about the united states because of those policies. so, you know, the us public has terrain in u. s. foreign policy and, and the leads who control the u. s. government because they're threatening the american people with a hot war. busy and it's coming back home, you know, the success of militarism is leading to the guy, you know, major domestic problems, including gun violence. it's kind of the manifestation of all these wars. well, and here's the thing, big garcia now. very shortly. the u. s. u k, australia, this new alliance that is ha

know, wrong. we just pain at the sight of them coming to new york to the u. s. to the very, for oil, the day a half, you know, and, and changed the country forever. and how much of a huge narrative booth than how much of a huge p r to that would have been to these terrorists to come to new york city. and to basically stand in front of these victims all you know, this would have been a victory for al qaeda to be tried. ready would have been or closure one of the firemen for the family. no 911 picked him. they would not, it's not very clear the cache a court case and the conviction would i understand. so you and i may think that right, but that's obviously not what the family thought and it's not what if you look at and this is like a slightly tangential topic. but if you, 1st of all, i think we should respect what the families wanted. not what you and i think even though i might agree with the families, did not want these people coming to us boil and talking about their ideology and their victory against the united states in a us court room. and i think we should

you know, after the u. s. left bathroom air base there and ask you to stand, looters did trash various parts of the, the base there. so it's certainly possible that's happened once again at the cobbler airport as well, airport and cobble, or that it was even possibly taliban that caused some of the damage. it remains unclear, but to say that us troops, while they were engaged in this mass, to back to the largest aerivac effort in the u. s. history while also dealing potential more potential isis attacks. the you know, ransacked and looted vending machines is a bit of a reach and someone says that i would or that with our team. john, how do you reporting? and this is as good as to continue its post us reality. the couple airport is in full control of the taliban without any remaining western troops, us armored vehicles, helicopters, and ammunition still were main, scattered and abandon outside the ones. busy terminals are to senior course. want your guys to have reports from the scene. these place looks very di

and so, you know, gave, you know, help give the united states, birth and 70 and the 17 seventy's. and so it's that taken a back, it's reeling from the, from the u. s. response and really know what, what, what to do about this, this, this, you know, transit atlantic alliance. so call a bite and also hailed america's capabilities in taking on terrorists around the globe. who is going to tend to for this now that because that up until now, america, when it's barked on those anti terror adventures, it can turn to its allies and beckon them over and they will come running, enjoy it in. but after the cut and run in afghanistan of the way, france has been treated over the submarine deal, who's gonna help? well, that the, the us will be able to draw some support from, from europe and from, from, from britain, certainly. but in his, in his act, august 31st speech about the, the announcing the, the, the completion of the withdrawal from afghanistan biden says that, that, that terrorism is metastasized across the globe. so us anti terrorist measures is so affective. why is the problem spread it? and biden brags in the us, that the u. s. can i can, can, can s

and we're going to see more of this, i think, you know, we see with taiwan, the u. s. has been providing extensive arm sales to taiwan and trying to counter china. so that seems to be that the focal point right now. and you know, they want to extract themselves from middle east. so i do have this question 2500000000. you're right. that is a lot of dollars and a lot of money that i think here domestically in the u. s. that could be used in places, but to $5000000000.00. what is actually being? is that money being used for in ukraine? can you see it on the ground? what are the ukrainians doing with $2500000.00 or $1000000000.00 worth of american taxpayer dollars? well, i think you raise afghan stands, a similar situation where the money is kind of going into black hole. i mean, the war and eastern ukraine is like the war and f. galveston, unwinnable war it's going on for many years now. it's kind of a quagmire. ukrainian military is not really committed to fighting it. that's why they have these private militias. so, you know, a lot of it's going into things like surveill

u. s. relationship with allies over in europe, because some say the european allies were in fact a little bit blindsided by the u. s. pullouts. you know, that's exactly right. i live here in frankfort and i have spoken with trends and senior officials here in germany as well as in other countries. and they were in fact caught by surprise by this. and unfortunately we have a tendency and this is not recent. i mean, this just happened even during the obama administration as well, to act and then inform allies, which is significantly different than consulting with us. and i think this is gotta be if the by the ministration of serious as a believe they are about diplomacy leading our foreign policy. that means we have got to work with alex. and i think we've got a lot a lot of work to do to regain the confidence of oliver. i was, i think at the end of the day, people here in europe and around the world know that the united states is reliable . it's just hard. or we're, we don't do a good job of consultation and we're going to have to do a lot better of that. and the keyboard is your expectation of what's going to happen in the short term,

comments a few months ago about getting justice and you know, for the victim also for, you know, the crime that the u. s. government has committed israel ganeth down and, and she said, you know, the taliban. and what's really important about that is because of the way terrorism is construct good as inherently more evil, inherently more violent. and somehow less moral than state violence. of course, state violence, as it's used by states, right, is supposed to be morally superior and 2006 or something along the lines of, you know, i basically, i can entertain that where anything like the terrorist, because they kill women and children. how many women, women, and children has the united states kills? and so the problem is when the united states considers its violence more moral and just moral in general, it allows it to justify and legitimize massive states, violet ok, mom, i'm going to share the conversation with you with your cope. harness. kimberly, go ahead. well, i fully agree, i mean, and this was to the point i was making earlier. is that what we've seen the warrant terror do by the united states g

you know, is it the u. s. was responsibility to take care of the refugees, especially the mass number that the u. s. is now taking into her own borders. well, the question is typical. one is not that simple, but we are responsible. yes and no. in regards to the afghan people, we made a lot of promises to our allies. the problem is betting them to see who actually deserves to come to united states, vetting them is a very difficult task. and inevitably, a lot that come here may be hostile to the united states. i definitely believe that we are going to have some people in here to hate america. and if they don't hate america, by the time they get here, just have them in the public school system for a couple of years. well, i think you bring that up cuz terrell, you know, russia is not taking any of the refugees from atkinson he and with the president vladimir putin actually saying, we don't know who the they are. we can't possibly vet them. how confident are you? cuz there is ask and we do have terrorist cells tha

u. s. you know, let, you know, it's very, very, very sensitive area. and, and i mean, here we had a contract actually signed by france so, so australia is going to have to pay some economic contractual penalties to back out because france already spent several $1000000000.00 towards this contract. and it was actually dealt to specific set australia wanted so, so obviously it, it seems like australia is basically going with the deal in order to prevent any negative repercussions from the u. s. that probably we're given a choice of either either to us or we're them and, and you don't want to be against us so, so i have a feeling they're politically, politically pressured in the end of this deal. is there anything really practically that france can do about this, that you can appreciate why it's angry that it's well so far down the road with this particular deal that it's, it's also come up militarily to helping us. it's going to major part of nato must now be sitting back thinking, well, what was the point of all that? what's, what's in it for us, but re

u. s. a. know, drinking water power up to how can i i i was not going to extend this forever war. those are the words of us president joe biden, defending his withdrawal of troops from afghanistan. these 1st criticism over the chaos of the past few weeks. as i've got this, don rapidly fell under the control of the taliban. but biden says the evacuation has been an extraordinary success and blamed afghan forces for collapsing far more quickly than expected. official reports now from the white house, my fellow americans, the war in afghanistan is now over. joe biden brought an end to america's involvement to end its longest war 20 years, which still lives cost money, and damage to medic. his image in the world war to remove the taliban, which again sits in power and kill or left with a simple decision, either follow through on the commit made by the last administration and leave afghanistan. or say we weren't levy and commit another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. that was the choice, the real choice between libby or escalating. he promised all americans who wanted

you know, if the u. s. and the u. k. invaded afghanistan for 911. well no one from ghana. stan took part in that, you know, got to stand. iraq had nothing to do with 911. so if it's really about terrorism, i mean, they should look in their own backyard. they should look at their own allies like israel, like saudi arabia, what they are doing, how they are violating human rights columbia. you know, this is a real area of concern. now, when they call other countries, the terrorists, or they call other leaders like you know, madura or president asked that brutal dictators they don't have a problem with with brutal dictators. just look at all the right wing governments of the united states has popped up in latin america. you know, they don't have a problem with, with monarchies like the saudis, and their neighbors in the, in the persian gulf. so this is not about, you know, moral values and who the terrorist they just use this to impose sanctions, right? they have a terrorist list, a blacklist. and as we saw last year, they lifted to don from this list be

and you know, the surround state work which the u. s. and france and other countries are doing is very dangerous, or even to eat in a restaurant. i have to show a coven passport, which is likely can record my name. what restaurant i was going to, you know, throughout my entire life. and they're never going to get rid of this infrastructure. this infrastructure is they built temporarily to stop cove. it is probably gonna become a permanent feature of our daily lives. and so right now is really the time for people that work on technology to build anonymous privacy, enhanced alternatives to push for support and to get support honestly from everyone . i'm, you know, i got, i got back sedated, but i went all the way back to the us just to get back say the united states really didn't want to have to carry around a q r code that attract me everywhere. and i think this is really the most serious, the finding that logical moment of our generation after bitcoin is going to be the fight against cove. it enabled surveillance, who they but everyone s

know the u. s . markets, particularly leveraging out of real estate, came under such close scrutiny that london seemed to be the ideal place, especially for high pasta kading the supposedly idle balances that sat and a lot of brokerage accounts. yeah, exactly. and we also see this evidence and what's called mark to model instead of mark the market. so at the end of the day, brokers they're supposed to kind of give a glimpse of what their books are and where the assets are, where the liabilities are. but they don't actually use straight up accounting, they use a model, they'll say, well, the securities are worth x, y, and z, depending on a model that we have not the actual valuation in terms of what somebody might buy for this stuff. so this hyper i propagated treasury analysis or theory or by shawn brown. so it's not enough to say that these markets have 0 collateral. what we're saying is that the markets have almost infinite negative collateral. if that even can you get into that. if that makes se

u. s. government or state department. it's hard. that's hard to know, you know, it's like what people point out about the hacking of u. s. sites and, and the information that comes from companies allegedly, in russia, they haven't really tied it specifically to the russian government. but everybody's convinced in the us that it's the russian government behind it. so maybe a similar case to that. if we look at the power, the big tech companies, social media company in particular wield when it comes to the information people can access during elections in the us. there's certainly a lot of influence. the screening of certain political news stories, we saw, the president trump banned from twitter, now they have some kind of suede themes and information that, that people can access in russia. what about the amount of power these companies whole does not need to be discussed. maybe even curved. well, you know, it's a touchy question because we have a 1st amendment that, that says that you have right for free speech. and so far, the supreme court has held th

u. s. infrastructure to future storms coming in and seen. all pulls down. well, you know, i mean we go back better. i mean, you know, we know if it's underground, it's called a lot more money. but guess what? it says have more money, long term damages from ida are still being assessed, but expected to be in the billions of dollars. kristen salumi al jazeera elizabeth, new jersey still ahead and i'll just say that they say the protecting the last of the land, the butcher, people of chile declare war on want us to companies and this fate. toxic league from a diamond mine and gola kills 12 people, democratic republic of congo, ones compensation ah ah! done and dusted another hot one in the box across the middle east will repeat that on saturday. so here's your details still have 43 degrees. we've cranked up that humidity and q weights. we've got a high 47 degrees for you. so le some showers in the forecast. we may see some storms pop up through the alpha jar mountains in northeastern oman. same goes for areas of yemen, spilling into the he jazz mountains in saudi arabia mon
