you're alienated from the united kingdom government, from the us government?on in europe with the enlargement of european union and nato, and the united kingdom is trying to make it deeper, i'm afraid. see, if you want to bridge some of the differences, if you want to send signals that russia is interested in improving relations, why are you ramping up your cyber attacks on the uk and other western countries? and why are you ramping up your spying activities as well? we are not doing this. it is proved... there is no single proof that we continue cyber attacks. what i have heard, even today, that there are groups of criminals that are doing this. and it is well—known knowledge that most of the cyber attacks are coming from the territory of the united states and the united kingdom. well, with respect, that's not well—known knowledge at all. a whole host of different independent experts reckon that russia is the territory from which many cyber attacks are coming, both state and non—state actors. but very significant, recently, afterjoe biden met your president,

i thank the representative, the united kingdom for a statement. i know give the floor to the representative of kenya. you have the floppies. good morning, mister president. i have the honor to make this statement on behalf of the a 3 plus one, namely canyon to media. justly, you know, we've been listening to an emergency session of the un security council, devry new york. just to recap the few things that we said we heard from the, the invoice, from france and the u. k. speaking not for very long and talking mostly about just how they want to ensure that humanitarian organizations are allowed to continue to work to for the un to, to, to focus on addressing the needs of the humanitarian needs of the citizens of afghanistan. no much be on the u. s. envoy reiterated that point. talked about the the aid that sitting at border crossings that is still controlled by the taliban. demanding that they released that aid into the country, but also issued a warning to the taliban. that if any harm comes to any us soldiers or citizens that the us would meet tha

this is part of the united kingdom's parliament. they've actually looked at the cost of bailing out everybody right to lockdown. so this is again, official, authoritative media, the u. k will be paying for co bid for decades, says m p 's and to new reports, the public accounts committee said number tends response to the crisis, has exposed to u. k. taxpayers to quote, significant financial risks. the m p is also attacked government spending on unusable protective kit. so apparently the government spent, you know, over 10000000000 pounds on p p personal protection equipment for hospitals and stuff, but about 2000000000 pounds of it is unusable. apparently they order stuff that's not actually, you know, qualified to be used in hospitals. right. what i was kind of interesting here is that the countries already has a debt to g d p ratio above 100 percent. it's just that 99.7 percent according to this article. ok. and so that, that's on trend there to break 100 percent threshold and go higher. so financially speaking that point of instab

systems that are in need of returning here to the united kingdom. but many, many afghans are actually desperate to flee from the taliban takeover as well, and have been emailing the united kingdom, the foreign office trying to get some help. so what we're hearing now is a minister has admitted that email. some schools of people have not only not been replied to a process, but not even being read by many, many ministers here in westminster. meaning that many people are still stuck in the region and fearing for their lives without any sense that they will ever be able to get out. despite all of this, dominick rob the foreign secretary is still maintaining. they were real, a tangible gains from the 18 year occupation when colleagues all around him over the past few weeks have even been pushed to the point of floods, of tears in the house of commons, saying the absolute opposite to dominic rob. now he will indeed be stopped in a foreign affairs select committee. that's an opportunity for many m p 's to really grill the foreign secretary office handling

here in the united kingdom. however, of course i easier said than done considering the taliban operating board checkpoints and really is putting a lot of trust in the taliban to uphold that side of the deal. allowing any safe passage to anybody that wishes to leave. it does come. of course, the britain promised that all you k citizens all u. k. nationals. and indeed, all of those assisted and the occupation assisted the british army and the occupation in the last 18 years would be able to return to the united kingdom. however, as the weeks and days been passed, many ministers in parliament was saying not everybody would be able to get out. and now dominic rob, as we heard, is it missing? he has no idea how many british citizens still remain in afghanistan. but it's actually maintain that the u. k has done a good job and that people should stop attacking the u. k for its own as occupation process. anyone getting back passing briefings either at me or the foreign commonwealth and development office is frankly not

however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking how they are today. and a radio interview became a very, very emotional. he even became quite choked up. some people will get back and we will have to do our best. and so countries the processes, people, why do you feel it? so personally, mr. wallace can understand because it's 20 years of sacrifice is what it is. parliament is being recalled back from some recess i saw on wednesday. i think i'll be speaking of everything from the war on terror as gender and foreign policy in the 1st place to the very fact that 5 weeks ago the prime minister of foreign johnson said the tale bon takeover would be out of the question . obviously, that is actually wrong at this point. so many people will be questioning the prime minister on all of that. but what about the intelligence that provided this nato acts this in the 1st place? and crucially, what will happen to all of these refugees over the last 18 years, millions of people in africa, nissan have been displaced. and now we are set to see quite undoubtedly another

well, the question here in the united kingdom is, where is the government and where is the leadership in responding to the crisis in the stone? in fact, the last time we heard from the prime minister of ours johnson last week, he says that person should be incredibly proud of what is the chief in the region, obviously in light of his complete tale. bon, take a very questioning response indeed. and today, the prime minister is posting a cobra meeting. that's a meeting where the cabinet should all be attending, but the foreign secretary dominic rob is nowhere to be seen as he is on holiday. and obviously it's his job to try and deal with these international issues, particularly in regard to foreign policy that has respond to instigate as a whole host of criticism against him. so the foreign secretary to go a while during an international crisis of this magnitude is nothing short of a shameful. i think it was amazing, staggering that the foreign secretary was still on holiday, while i canister was collapsing to the taliban. you've got to be on duty during that sort of period where we're

today, those allies helping to operate the airport, in particular turkey, the united states, the united kingdom and others that have capabilities to run the airport. also, several hundred native officials are supporting -- civilian officials are helping to operate the airport in close cooperation with the united states and other nato allies. on the timeline, that was discussed during the meeting today. several allies raised the issue of extending the timeline to get more people out. the u.s. has stated the timeline ends on the 31st of august. several raised the need to extend that to get more people out. our focus is to get our own staff people -- people working for nato and nato allied countries, and also afghans. we are working hard to help the afghans. we have been able to get some out. we are working to get more afghans out of afghanistan. >> for the next question we go to geo tv news from pakistan. we cannot hear you. please go ahead. >> secretary-general, it seems pakistan is emerging as a -- previous majahadine. do you support this building by pakistan? sec.-gen. stoltenberg: what is imp

so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking over say the united kingdom has been part of this nature occupation over the last 18 years, the brit 1st and initially went in under the international pretense of a pro, humanitarian and pro democracy mission. however, all carefully but the very fact and speed of this taliban take many people point to the defeat for the military. politically. the sound is a very humiliating time for the west and that foreign policy because the west has always predicated its entire regimes on being the most robust. and it's not just on to will activists that have this point of view. but even some tory back benches in government, this is completely humiliate for the west. we assembled the most incredible technologically advanced lines. the world is ever seen. and we're being defeated by an insurgency that is armed with a k 40 sevens and all p, jeez. this will be the biggest own goal made by the west. so far this century, the humanitarian disaster that's about to unfold will be kansas straw fake. the migration challenges will be huge. we will see furthe

the resolution submitted by france, the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and the united states of america. i shall put the draft resolution to the board now. will those in favor of the draft resolution contained in the document please raise their hand? those against. abstentions. the result of the voting is as follows. 13 votes in favor. zero votes against. two abstentions. the draft resolution has been adopted. i now give the floor to those members of the council who wish to make statements after the vote. i give the floor to the representative of the united states. >> thank you mr. president. today's resolution establishes three clear expectations regarding the future of gannett stand. first, the security council expects the taliban to live up to its commitment to facilitate safe passage for afghans and foreign nationals who want to leave afghanistan whether it is today, tomorrow or after august 31. consistent with the right to leave any country, including one zone, everybody must be allowed to safely leave afghanistan for whatever reason, whenever they want, by

boris johnson moment for the united kingdom. boris johnson praised _ moment for the united kingdom.nited kingdom. err"; johnson praised the air left out of the cup afghanistan, despite arrived this morning in the uk. the coming months will see us find out how much economic and political influence g7 countries can exert on the troubled region that these families have left behind. we can talk now to our afghanistan correspondent secunder kermani in kabul. you were at the taliban press conference, how do you interpret their comments about who can leave? those comments by the taliban about afghans not being allowed to go to the airport have raised real concern of course. i spoke to one of their spokesman me what they meant was those afghans who don't have the right document cannot go but those who do still can. he also said that the group, the taliban, not in favour of afghans leaving the country and so this is adding to the fears of trying to fly out that doing so after the end of this month is going to be even more difficult. the taliban clearly do not like the images that we are seen

. �* . ., , united kingdom.united kingdom. buckingham palace is trying to keep everything at arms - trying to keep everything at arms length but whatever the truth of these claims, the very fact that a member of the royal family finds himself facing them is clearly damaging. prince andrew has withdrawn from public life of the royal family. these latest developments suggest there can be little immediate prospect of him restoring his public reputation. nicholas witchell, bbc news. lets turn to the us. thousands of children are returning to school today amid a surge in coronavirus cases, blamed on the more contagious delta variant. the figures are worrying. the us is averaging more than 124,000 new virus cases each day. that's more than double the levels of two weeks ago and the highest rate since early february, when they were peaking. however, nearly a third of eligible americans remain unvaccinated. and that's something the us federal government is desperate to address. here's president biden on friday. we just

so when you have somebody like rory stewart — who, in the united kingdom, was a former secretary forwould have liked to target uk aid to the poorest people in the world, rather than paying reparations, "in some weird belief," he says, "that we're going to somehow undo 300, 400 years of colonial history by writing cheques to people." well, there you go again, there you go again. the narrative of those who believe that they ought to determine for the victims of this process how they should... but, no, he's saying, "let me pay it to poorer people in the world," target uk aid there, rather than to the relatively affluent people in barbados. zeinab, in the face of emancipation legislation, the slave owners were saying to the british and the european parliaments, "you don't need to pass emancipation legislation. so many of the enslaved people are doing well. so many of them now have their own home, they have property, and then a percentage of them are free, and they are doing so well. all you have to do is extend slavery longer and more and more enslaved will become better off." these are

i now give the floor to the represented of of the united kingdom. you have the floor, please. >> thank you, mr. president and thank you secretary, for your briefing. mr. president, what is happening now in afghanistan is a tragedy. we have long believed the only path to a sustainable peace in afghanistan and regional stability by a negotiated political settlement. we have worked hard to breathe -- to breathe life into negotiations with the taliban and the u.s., our leading ally, and other regional powers. the taliban pledged to engage in those talks in good faith. their actions on the ground have betrayed that promise. mr. president, the taliban must immediately do three things. first, they need to cease all hostilities and military action to ensure the protection of civilians and allow a safe and orderly departure for others who wish to leave. second, they must commit unequivocally not to harbor or give safe haven to terrorist groups. third, the taliban must honor promises to protect and uphold human rights, including those of women, girls, and oth

not unlike the say of the united kingdom or even japan. and they feel that without that space too freely discussed in a critical way on a, you know, mainstream public platform without the risk of going to prison. and then that is very little that we can do to improve the situation as far as it's, you know, as far as the monitoring institution is concerned. so they want, well, what they want as simple, you know, in the united kingdom, you can mark the queen. some british people may disapprove that, but that's part of the region. while in thailand, actually the ty press cannot write negative names about the monarchy this you know, self, censorship is prevalent and this is more unfortunate. so what's happening is that the younger generation pushed the debate onto social media. and jade said, you know, they defamation, you know, that from atari remark expressed to being used. i saw, you know, terrible graph at the attacking the king. but partly that's because these younger people feel that there's no freedom to, you know, discussion about the

first step you wanted was a formal apology from the former colonial colonisers like the united kingdomyou? well, because there have always been two approaches to this matter. the oppressor class, the beneficiaries of these crimes against humanity have always preferred to have a settlement approach. look what germany has just done in namibia. that was not reparations, that was a settlement. that was what germany paid in regards to the genocide in the early 20th century. and that has become the model for many european countries. the americans are ambivalent about it. but here is the issue — you have to say that reparations is a process. it is not an event. settlement is an event. you can show that you have suffered harm, the harm has become systemic, those who have benefited from that harm could actually see here is $1 billion, take it and go away. that is closure. reparations says no. so what do you want, then? first of all, reparations is a process. it begins with the step that says we admit responsibility for the crimes we have committed. you do not get that, though, do you? you get e

i'm not in work in the united kingdom. anything, any medical procedure carries way. there's a risk. you've got to balance thought risk for very many people being box next will be the right decision. and for all this, it will not be the right decision, but we have not mandated vaccines. those fall off of actually program has been overwhelming success. leave people alone who don't want to do it. the danger of forcing them is not was just coming to our past 10 in the evening here in moscow. good to have the company will be back with more stories in about half an hour, but i forget go to web site for the stories too. and you can find that at the join me every 1st on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the oh, okay. yeah. you know, you got to deal with a 6 day marathon of creativity, a multi cultural festival. and the biggest variety is the competition for a few days, became a russian cultural capital. 28 categories. ahh from violence, piano to be honest with parenting and data protection n

i think when we are in a position in the united kingdom, where we are 8075 percent of the population vaccinated rising. why all we actually trying to discriminate against bully horizon, though small number of people who chose not to take the boxes very often. the reason it makes me feel better at a middle clocked in a policy has no medical benefits. what's happening with this last 5 ration program? people hoping us buy will sorts of bains even with good advertising and ninety's females to say. disgusted with your daughter, said, if it's the right thing for you as an individual, for your individual, how to have these fact sheets and then you can picture in the u. s. for example, we're in a situation where we've already got 6 people also we haven't got time and 3 people . so we need to just back tonight as many people as possible. we're going in the winter and we want to try to avoid a lot when this ludicrous situation. we're so very recently, if you've been vaccinated twice, i'm due tested negative for the crowd of ours. if you're in the same room or somebody tested both, if you were

it's tricky for the 1st and only time in its history and the united kingdom, amongst others, joined america in going into afghanistan on a mission to x, paid out in that country and to do whatever we could to stabilize afghanistan. in spite of all the difficulties and challenges we knew that we would face, and we succeeded in that core mission and yes, i will give way to my friend. i'm grateful, mr. speaker, but he agree that we are actually seating back the country to the very insurgency that we went into defeat in the 1st place and the reputation of the west to support democracy across the world has suffered. there are so many lessons to be learned. what happened to the last 20 years? will you now agree to an independent, formal inquiry into the conduct and i've kind of miss it because i said in the house just a few weeks ago, there was an extensive defense review about deaf down a mission after the combat mission ended in 2014 and i believe that most of the key questions have already been extensively got into an important business because we in this house should today be able to scrutini
