Will ultimately fail. This appeal is an attempt to pro long inevitable. Inevitable is the freedom of julian assault ah top stories of today and of the week. Welcome to the weekly. Here are not the incentives. 16 people were killed and dozens more injured in fighting between the afghan army and the taliban. All of this in the City Of kandahar on saturday, its according to local officials. It comes as fighting has been intensifying across the country with the taliban making big territorial gains. And while thE U. S. President Joe Biden has conceded the group is now at its strongest 2 in 2 decades. Hes still defending the decision to pull all american troops out. Your view with making this decision for the last 20 years worth. We went for 2 reasons. One can you blame him off to 20 long years and no victory . Anyone would struggle to answer why . So that 47000 civilians could be killed, so that only half the population could live in poverty. So the country could lie and ruins faced with ugly reality. Is it any wonder the biden decided it was find me time to come home . I will much send another Generation America to war and i can stand with no reasonable expectation of achieving the different outcome. Oh, it was not mission accomplish how i got permission was accomplished in that we get to scott some have been widen in terrorism is not emanating from that part a little. We achieved those objectives. Well, not quite all carnita and might be gone, but the tunnel bon is ascendant. Advancing so quickly that and now came to control 85 percent of afghanistan, and with the countries us and nato allies having jumped ship. Its people have been left to fend for themselves, calling them they go, every one is worried about how long thE Uncertainty will continue. No one is doing business, the market and the people that work there have been badly affected. Business has collapsed because there is no stability before when thE U. S. Didnt plans withdraw, things were stable, but instability is increased since the last. Well, i mean im very clear. The yes had contracts with market owners here and wE Used to purchase from them that withdraw will affect our business. We can buy any goods because there are transportation provo, some have already fled to Neighboring Tajikistan and iran, but that might not be an option for long. The ton of fine control, 2 thirds of the border with tajikistan and recently captured the crossing to iran, meaning of the on many escape routes left. An especially dangerous prospect for those who worked with foreign armies, fearing for their lives there, now cooling on washington to get them out. One of the monday gavE Us a recommendation. Theyve not only my life, my family, and ive been all done with really when we dont have an issue we have we want to take any decisions for us or united nation or whatever. You call yourself humanitarians. But what kind of humanitarian saw you left me here after i worked 10 years for you. Russia is also worried that the fighting will spill over into its territory. So its arched restraint promised to g, cuz tom back up on the board and maintains dialogue with the taliban and the country that created this whole mess. Just opt in left. Oh, i the i up to left in the dead of night without what apparently the washington claims that local officials knew that withdrawal was eminent. The very next day looters was seen plundering 5 grand base funny american souvenirs left behind. With this hasty Exit Parallel to being drawn with another open us as for, for was Vietnam Wage a war on terror realize that the tree is impossible in could deal with your enemy found in your eyes and get the hell out of that. Well, lets just hope the carpool doesnt fall as quickly as South Vietnam did. To buy didnt at least has faith. Is a tale bon take over that gas that now inevitable . No. It is known. Is that what the goal was . 20 years ago . That devastation, no plan for long lasting peace. I hope that the Government Wouldnt crumble as soon as thE U. S. Left. How many more countries will be put through this vicious cycle beforE Us finally learns its lesson. United states is a far very global empire. We are absolutely totally addicted to war. Our economy cannot survivE Unless we are either actively engaged in war or preparing for more faith. And so theres obvious parallels between afghanistan and vietnam. When i was in vietnam, i was only met mom. So i was seeing the rapid disintegration of american involvement in vietnam. So i was seeing the homicides the suicides, the ramp, and Heroin Addiction Shit out among the american soldiers within our own unit. Obviously, at that point in my view of 7071, we were questioning, why were we ever in vietnam, you know, because a lot of was thought that we were there to preserve Peace And Democracy and in the United States government. But that was all a lie, everything was a lie and the same thing is true for the war in afghanistan. Youre going to see a lot of very rack and its better. Its probably committing suicide. Theres a lot of that were going to drink and drugs themselves because theyre going to ask themselves, whats the point of me ever being in rack or hundreds of undocumented migrants or on Hunger Strike in brussel in a bit depressed the authorities to grant them aside them some who even sewing their mouths close to show they have no say on Wednesday Government officials met with protesters. WE Understand no agreement was reached, but thE Union representing micro said some progress was made. Officials now say fighting economic exploitation is that top priority. They see that there are 850000 living here illegally and the 200 people that decide to stop eating should be regularized individually. What would be the result . A week later, you get 202020000 people who would do exactly the same. Around a 1000000 microns enter the E U in 2015 and it will blame for terror attacks and sharp increases in crime. Some migrants who have been in belgium now for more than a decade say the asylum appeals still have not been processed. Filing this report from brussels, Ortiz Shawna do minsky, indigo to migrants across brussels, taking action into their own hands and resorting in some extent to extreme measures to demand their rights, suicide attempts and sewing up their own lips. Just to the shocking moves the migrants have taken to show just how serious they are. Well, weve been have 3 people have needed urgent care. Some for men and women taking part in this protest have been in the country for more than a decade. And they say that they have simply had enough of government in action. Theres also criticism that brussels and even europe as a whole, have been so hesitant and imposing any kind of rooms for their situation, leaving them no choice. I have started this and i have to continue to the n. Ive lost 15 kilos, but i am ready to lose another 15 or 20 just to be legalized. Some other people risk their lives even more. My buddy carry me recently swallowed a razor blade. He had to get an Emergency Operation for other people. So the lips always actions of one go to show that we really need the documents. I am the nipple guy, but my chinese not never, dont understand the poly. Kennedy speaking the Police And Day so the does the things. So my child is, is property of belgium does give me work for me. Then i can walk and i can put my child, the belgian government says it wont change policy. Its frustrating. Are trying to help people as much as possible to get their dossiers to be treated as fast as possible. But of course not every undocumented person, not every person who is here can stay in belgium. The Hunger Strike is not going to help issue of undocumented migrants isnt just confined here in belgium, in front of also being processed stage to call attention to the thousands who are also in a similar situation. The me i the but is a regular is ation real solution in some of the countries of course, the e, u, spain, portugal and italy. Thats the route thats been pursued. However, that too has caused problems. Italy is trying to grant access to around 600000 undocumented migrants. But the process has been fruit with allegations that permits a being issued arbitrarily. We did have collected regular physician 9. That is only meant you influx of illegal immigrants, doesnt work for political action. Is there, old responsibility is not that of the governing or citizens of this country. If our government gives law, its open for more actions like this for a new wave of immigrants coming to our country, sent you the picture. Lets together then your situation or her oracles and go over these wrongest ortiz all refusing to budge those supporting the protesters say that off the 6 weeks, the situation is now very desperate. Then documented people who have been in Hunger Strike, especially those stain. And one of our campuses have reached Ben Point where they can irreversibly put the health at great risk, where your grad, that public authority has remained deaf to their requests, which will continue to support, stay faithful to all were humanist commitments and our sense of justice. Yet, despite all of the focus on migration at an in new level, theres still no coherent strategy, which many think will only make the problem worse. The problem is, is huge. It is without any doubt, the biggest problem facing belgium and the European Union right now. Every single domain is under enormous pressure because of mass migration. Im talking about public Safety Policing and migratory services, but also about things like education, housing, and the judicial system. If we decide to ignore the rules because people go on Hunger Strikes that were setting a horrible example. The Migration Law in belgium is not strict at all. So if your application to get red residence papers is rejected, that means you, you really dont deserve them. And you have to go hope the problem is that the belgian Government Isnt doing enough to make sure that these illegal migrants who have their application regret your objectives effectively go hope. In many countries, they are, they are put on a plane back to their country of origin. But in belgium, they just receive a paper that says they have to return home. A former Police Officer may be New York next mayor, after winning the democratic nomination. He was picked despite a year of black Lives Matter protests whose stated aims include that of defending the police in the city. Crime is soaring with a new York State Governor Andrew Cuomo declaring a Gun Violence Disaster emergency of a new may. Oral candidate is eric adams. He served in the police for 22 years and is currently the Brooklyn Bar a president at the forefront of his platform. Its a commitment to combating gun crime. He supports police reform, but its firmly against the funding. The police, if black lives is really matter, it can only be against Police Abuse and has to be against the violence. Thats britting apart our communities. People want to feel safe. Right now they dont feel safe. Crime is happening all around them. Shootings arE Up. Robberies arE Up, homelessness is up. They see in the subway. They dont feel safe in some ways. They see it out in the streets, in their homes, in the neighborhoods, and they want to feel safe. So this gentleman ran on a platform of public safety and making people feel safe in their resume with them. And thats it. You know, the, to find the Police Movement has been a large failure. Demonizing and attacking cops has been a failure and people are ready for change and hopefully this is the capital is to some sort of change. Its not just new York Polling shows concerns about violent crime or to 4 year high nationwide with homicide rates climbing across the country. Chicagos man has asked the president for help after the city stores bloodiest weekend over independence day, when more than a 100 people was shot. A policeman, as he called them, again, says the public demanding action, but leaders are not listening to violence is right in peoples faces. You can put all the crime statistics out there. Say your crime is going down. You can have all the feel good moments, but people know what they see. They know the here. And you cant deny that. So people definitely want to change. They want some sort of action to be taken. They want to feel safe. Thats whats all about public safety. Well, youre not going to convince someone that just finished watching someone get robbed or know about shooting is going on in the neighborhood that theyre safe. They want something done, the weekly returns, and about one minute. Oh i driven by dreams shaped by those vision in me dares think we dare to ask me. Ah ah me. Ah, it is good to have you with us for the weekly here. When are you into national 6 months after thE Us last . Its bit to have whistleblower shooting. A songy extradited, a u. K. Court now prepared to let us on serve any Prison Sentence in his australia and homeland. His partner claims he already has stopped writing. Fella morris this week also gave a reaction to the granting of the appeals and just outside the courthouse, i was able to speak to julian now about the decision. And you know, because on the one hand its been 6 months and we havent had any news. So its like an endless purgatory, but at the same time it doesnt here. And julians very unwell hes happy when, when he i went with our eldest this morning. And so its not representative when i see him because obviously its a, its a one rest fight. He gets off, but even you know, Bowl Marsh Prison is a horrible place. He won his case in january. Why is even in prison . Why is he even being prosecuted . There is no legal case against him. All there is is an indictment based on life. Washington ones assange to face charges of Hacking And Espionage which could land him. A sentence of 175 years if convicted in january, a british judge ruled again. This is extradition over mental health issues. In 2019, he was forcibly removed by police from the ecuadorian embassy in london after quito terminated his 7 year assign him. Weekly editor in chief of Christian Thompson says the sheer length of the entire process is shameful. But its a great disappointment for Julia Phones and for all of those that this is continuing. One would hope that thE United kingdom courts would to recognize how ridiculous this case is and not to grant the appeal. This means that this will drag on for some time for a prisoner to have to wait in a Prison Cell for 6 months for half a year, just to get a decision of whether the appeal is allowed to to his opponents or not is rages. This decision comes only a week after it is revealed, that the indictment has to be an does not have a leg to stand on. The key with and says retracted to testimony and says basically the testament which was cited by the Business Judge numerous times as truthful allegation doesnt hold true. It is a fabrication and the americans now know if theyre still continuing on this track. This appeal is an attempt to pro long the inevitable. Inevitable is the freedom of julia. If he does not get his freedom, it is such a load to our society and what we believe in that it is almost amount to turning off the light. So this must come to an end, and i can fence in my bones that it will be coming soon. Meanwhile, australian m. P s having the come by Ja Moment as a president biden, to drop thE U. S. Government Extradition Appeal strongly and citizens want juliet assigned to be free. His treatment violates for convention against torture and its persecution threatens journalists worldwide dropped off into national. So england r one nil ahead and the euro. 2020 final between england and italy. So its either coming home or going rome, lets get a feeling that much fear there are correspondent is in the capital. Tonight is the final of the year 2020 actually england versus italy. Im here in a pub in west london. Very close to the stage and where that much is taking place. So now mr. Inside the top is absolutely electric all evening. People have been singing coming home, but pumps across the City Heaving and they were all totally booked up ever since. Hurricane schools, the winning goal in the semi final. But im going to kill, Id Place myself in this pop up. Many people told me they were kidding. Up since i was of this morning to make sure that they had a table here tonight for the final, it is a really, really big game and theyre still very high. We just look at the statistics of the italian team. They havent lost the day in such a 3, not just only conceiving 10 goals in that time. They are very strong team and do this wont be an easy ride whatsoever. But the pundits all suggesting the english have the in the back. They all going to bring that choice behind this evening. We do have a great school. The likes of the likes of sure pools or schools that go on and deep soccer. But a pulls we have hurricane our to is really leading by example, showing a lot of Confidence Wasnt ready for the team, but its not just the players that are confident this evening for the fans as well. Quite a bit. No, thats not gonna lie. But most of feed and were going to win tonight, give it to you, want to england and in the 9 to minute extra time. Sterling, ive been brilliant top case on a great job with a boy. I think weve got a team that wants to type england and one thing then. Yes, it is coming home coming time. Definitely. Yeah.

Its top 40 to the best, the level, the, the war and the war, the police, thats our i strong and can do anything that will re 140. 00. Yeah. So you just had that from italian funds as well, but just as confident in this evening, but weve had from the managers. I wrote to south gate who said, weve come so far away in the final. We dont want to disappoint funds now. And tonight were going to bring that trophy home. Weve also had a message from hurricane our captain. You said to see these fans out in the 3 says receive this huge reception is amazing to say, im not going to let those funds down either. This is a huge, huge occasion. In fact, there really is with the in the nation behind what weve seen is all 24000000 people are tuning in this evening to watch england bring that trophy home. And in the pop. 7 is around 2000000 people as well. What that means is a part of the 7 point. 1000000. 00 points will be goggled during this match tonight. It really is a time where were seeing the whole nation come together. United way we dont really difficult year is 8121216 month of cave is 19. This is a time i would think people really, really coming together, but do we blame them for coming together after whats been so difficult . Of course weve seen in many seem i havent won a single tournament since 1966. That is by the way, 65 years. So of course the sentiment tonight. One question learn, is it coming home for everybody in england . Yes, it is. The high end chefs and thE U. K. Could be having to change their ways. Theres the country plans to buy boiling lobsters alive as partly thanks to activists from crustacean compassion, who said the animals feel pain. There is more than enough evidence about the ability of the senses if captivating, creatures to feel pain and suffer. ThE Undergo pole in treatment in the food industry. Government also intends to recognize the crabs, octopuses, and squid as a capable of pain, is part of the animal welfare bill, which initially only applied to vertebrates. A few countries have already been boiling lobsters alive, for example, low switzerland, norway, in new zealand. Alternatives include stunning the lobster 1st, either with electricity or ice, or then just killing it mechanically. Some scientists though, argue that a crustacean nervous systems dont feel pain, claiming that their bodies respond merely reflexively to stimuli. Well, i had the chance to put the issuE Up for debate with a panel of guess showing compassion to more species. Thats a good thing, isnt it . A lot of concerns have been raised about this bill that there are going to be many unintended consequences in terms of what we mean for fishermen, for full Food Production for the final cost to the consumer. And i think theres also a question of why it is being done. Now. We have a global and domestic pandemic that we are still struggling to get through. Theres going to be a huge economic pool. Now from it kates over to you, forgive me for being devils advocate, but whats next . Cockroaches, when would you give them what this land titles us and right now it tells us that animals with a nervous system and can feel pain and stuff. You know, we think that this is a really big step forward for the most. Its not just that, but a sentence by recognizing that, you know, and craft and other Stuff And Dr. Plug concealed pain. The government is, is going to van, protect them with an animal welfare legislation, which will mean that they can no longer be killed in an inhumane way. Transported handled, you know, in an inhumane way. Seaford becomes incredibly dangerous because its coming into bonds. Then what happens is it becomes impossible to eat it so they get their outcome. I actually would much rather sit and be honest about those. Id say in reality this is about Bombing Bait fighting fish and bonding all forms of slaughter for the pepsi studies. Something the i a post, you know, this isnt about bombing the thing. Animals obviously piece of would like to live in a world where people arent, you know, killing and consuming animal. But this is going to make it illegal to eat lots different crabs makes them a lot more expensive for the, for the average consumer. And so predictions are the sorts of wealth measures will increase the, the final cost. The products by about 20 percent is not for the government to tell us what we should or shouldnt be having. You know, this is the 21st century. The people should be in charge. Yes, the public needs to be in for it, but they also need to know that these animals and their son and i most people when they find this information, i will align with the actions. Okay. And if it is purely a public information campaign, then we dont need these measures to practices. We dont need these press the Fishing Industry and we dont need these. These measures 5 products. If its just about math science, we can lay the science before the public and leave the public to decide i that is, are the weekly for this half hour here on the international. But these pictures you see right now are live from rome. The Jubilation And Celebration because were about 70 minutes into the final of the euro. 2020 and it is now 11 england, italy is out only now just starting to get very, very interesting way back soon with the join me every thursday on the Alex Simon show. When i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, Business And Show business. Ill see you then in the
