A series of leaks unconfirmed messages from the pentagon revealed a panic of the withdrawal from afghanistan. Troops unable to rescue desperate american citizens, one form a special Forces Soldier who shared the encrypted messages gives us his thoughts about what happened. Our biggest problem of getting people out actually is the u. S. Government and its actually not the time. Weve seen the military. People behind the gate, the us military was not letting even civilian americans with passports, american national, british prime minister admits to breaking a key election promised by hiking taxes to fix the short fall in health and social care funding. Ah, good, happy with this this sunday, the weekly promote the international will take you through some of the biggest stories covered here over the past 7 days on the developments for you to the f. B, i has released a classified document, a previously classified document into the 911 attacks victims. Families have long demanded the record to be made public with many calling for more focus on Saudi Arabia as possible. Involvement. However, its not clear whether the latest document really says anything new, as kevin in discussed with the correspondent me power. This report, what it is basically is. Its an interview with saudi national, who was applying for citizenship, who apparently had contexts with 2 saudi nationals who apparently assisted to hijackers while they were in the us. One of the 1st came to hijackers of the 911. 00 lane basically. But a lot of this stuff, a lot of the information regarding this latest report is actually not that new. There was already a report declassified report back in 2016. And basically this, the stuff told out in this interview that we got in this report is all the same stuff. Its the same people, especially the same people. For example, one of them is being a person named alba, jo, me, who was apparently held in high regard within the consulate of Saudi Arabia in los angeles. Now apparently this person was not working there, but he was highly regarded. And the person in this interview says that he was seen as one of the higher ups, even amongst the staff, even though she did not work there. But the main thing that this report was supposed to do is prove a connection to the Saudi Arabian government. And it does not do that. There is no concrete evidence that links these people who were, sorry, national, theres no link to the actual saudi officials, government officials. So that link does not exist. Also there were people names such as baton again, another person who had a ties to the hijackers who lives across their apartment in los angeles. Again, he held extremist views, but no official ties to saudi government. And then there was also also mary, who was apparently accredited diplomat. So shes like one of mark accredited people. But again, he was not proven to be following any direct orders from Saudi Arabia from their official government. So this report basically just shows more details like 5 minute detail, like phone calls, where the met accidentally from restaurants, the ones who, but it does not give any specific evidence. New no connections, society, government ok, going along with what the saudi government said, all along the way that they would not respond revolt in this, in any shape or form. Right. That when all that said, what are the victims . Relatives had to say, this report was heavily redacted. You saying this hardly anything new. It it, are they happy or not about this them . Its odd actually, because one of the 1st Report, one, the 1st dropped, the initial reaction from the families. Was that a, this is a big step in their fight against in their lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, because again, theyre suing Saudi Arabia for billions of dollars in damages for their suppose it involvement in the 911. 00 attacks the. Yeah, one of the 1st Report dropped the said yes, this will definitely help. But upon closer inspection, really theres not that much of air even though the families have been fighting for this, these documents to be released for quite a while, even threatened bite, and that would be not welcome at any memorials the pertaining to 911. 00. Unless you released the documents, we had great hope that President Biden to campaigned on bringing Truth And Trust back to the Oval Office would value the lives and sacrifices of america citizens over diplomatic relations with a country accused of mass murder. We cannot in good faith and with veneration to those last sick and injured welcome, the president to a hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment. Those calls were heard and biden did respond. No, not directly, but he did issue in order to release more documents pertaining to the investigation of the 911 attacks. And this is just the 1st one and there will apparently be more within the next 6 months. But these, as you saw what this one, the report is heavily redacted and doesnt really provide any bombshell, revelations, or any of that anything of that sort. And even the former C I E director, has said that theres people shouldnt really expect too much from these upcoming documents and reveals, i suspect that the families are not going to get the kind of satisfactory answers about the role of Saudi Arabia with regards to this attack, well yeah, and doesnt seem to be any of that information and a lot of people have no, its point to know that this is Saudi Arabia. Us has very high dealings with it. Theres a lot of money involved and really theres, its been 20 years since the attack. Theres been many investigations. And still theres not been anything to link even though the, all the terrorists like 900, there was 1900 and the terrorist. And during that attack, and most of them were saudi nationals. So its obvious why its some people would assume there isnt a connection, but it doesnt seem like any of these documents will actually prove that connection for whatever reason either there really isnt on or that just wouldnt be really beneficial to the us saudi relations. So well see maybe the next 6 months well see something substantial, some actual revelations. What for now were still getting the same old short Range Passenger Aircraft as crash landed in the remote could region in central russia not far from lake by cow. You saw it is now say that there are multiple victims including the pilot. Weve just received this recording from one of the survivors to someone just allow students to be home on the worker was given the l. 410 Propeller Aircraft operated by a regional airline, had made a hard landing about 4 kilometers short of the destination runway. The plane was making its 2nd approach in thick fog when it disappeared from right up. It then called fire on Landing And Emergency services were alerted by one of the passengers on board. Some were trapped inside the cabin as wealth until the emergency services derived the poor weather conditions and Engine Failure being investigated as possible. Causes you footage suggests us drone Strike And Cobble targeting terrorists killed and Aid Worker Loading his car with water. 10 civilians died and last Months Attack including 7 children, us forces said the Mans Vehicle Match the description of one used by the terrible group i. C k. They also said there was a large secondary blast after the Drug Strike suggesting that he was transporting explosives. But it turns out that claim was false according to an investigation by the New York time worker had even been employed by an american and geo. And there were many similar fate, san victims of the 28 us campaign in afghanistan. As we discovered our index investigation series, unheard voices. The will use all tools at our disposal. Killed our children to United States was bringing people to watch a site. It was a pointless exercise and allow the latest report we talked to brandon bryant, who flew drones for the us military to help pay for his education. He spoke to us about his own personal experiences, which include his belief that he killed innocent people. After my 1st shot, i took the 3 innocent men killed that i believe in this, and i called my mother afterwards and cried. And she told me that it was good that i felt bad about it, because if i felt good about it, i was, i would just be another psychopath. Ah no other way. And again, my education and the military showed up one day and i will pay for your education if you, sir, for a minimum of 4 years. And how can anyone turn that down on . I started and comes down and turns around now goes in the military grade or actually since your job is to kill people and break things. So you got all these young enlisted dude and Girls Gallon and guys who are out of high school who have no experience in anything who are now basically video game snipers for months of training made that put in the position to make these decisions. The goal for the 1st 3 months, i was inactive missions. I watched enemy forces die or friendly forces die and the force of die and an innocence innocent people die. And so i got to see like the impact on everybody. Ah ah ah ah mentioned degredation with the proper term, every shot that we took like theyre cheering their congratulating each other. Theyre high fiving each other people are getting promoted because of this stuff. Its like a withering away of who you are. I, when you were hunting, a man named lucky he was a mom from pm and i was told one day going in that President Obama himself would call us up and give the order himself to me. And i got this euphoric feeling. The depth of the lock is a major blow to all kind of most active operational affiliate. And then his 16 year old son was killed 2 weeks later and drones, right. When i asked some of the people that i knew why they struck me, do romanella lucky. They said that because they didnt want them to become a figure. The 1st thing that trump did in office was kill and were our rockies 8 year old daughter. We see with the terrorist you have to take out their families, maybe to them, it seems practical, but to me it seems evil. Ah, there was an incident involved killing of civilians. They might have been to new zealand white civilians in afghanistan. So President Obama got on television himself and was saying it was not the fault of intelligence or the military leadership. It was defaulted to drone operators that cause this and that really upset me because we get no intel. I felt like he was blaming me, commander in chief of the united States Military was pointing a little me and saying, oh, all those things that were other Peoples Fault and sexually, youre from the ah, i didnt know who i was anymore. I didnt know what i believed anymore. I didnt know my purpose anymore. I almost kill myself with a 9 millimeters 6 p 2266, our german law enforcement weapon. And the only reason i dont is because of him. He said he just wants he wanted to go for a walk and im sitting there with the goat in my Hand And Id ready to do it. And hes just like, dad, lets go for what, lets go for walk. Im going to go for one. I will have more stories from people whose lives forever changed by america the longest war and are continuing special series, unheard voices which can also watching full at R T Dot com. So we go back to our top story now the f. B, i releasing declassified reports on the 911 attacks following Jo Bidens Executive order. We can talk now to monica murphy, who lost her husband, michael in the South Tower and had the 911 Relatives Organisation septembers mission. Monica, welcome to r t. I know its extremely emotional weekend for you, but of course its also an anniversary in which youve got the eyes and ears of the big decision makers. Now that this reports come out, was there anything in it thats surprise you that you didnt know before . Are you satisfied with what youve seen . Well, i actually, you know, for me, i dont really look at those things that i heard, you know, i kind of knew that we were probably somewhat responsible. So i wasnt shocked by that. But i feel like, you know, we need to, its good that he put the report out because i know family members really want to know the information. It doesnt help me at all because i cant bring my michael home. So its not going to, i just want to say that the future generation that will help them and making sure that this never happens again on american soil. And i have 2 girls who are 1315 and i dont want to be worrying about them growing up in this world. If im not here to navigate them, his no one should have to deal with the nightmares that we dealt with on that day on 911. How much for that pain compounded by having to wait 2 decades for those report to come out and then to have it so heavily reacted to or they for some families, it was very difficult for someone like me. I was very focused on creating the World Class Memorial and museum that we have today and being, you know, doing the positive work that id like to do to make sure that we keep their legacy alive and their spirits alive and doing positive work that kept me very busy, so i didnt have time to really think about those kinds of things because its in a day im not bringing michael, but i know other family members would and are very involved in that and wanting to know and making sure that that never happens again. Here and is there a feeling among those families and yourself included that youre getting . Listen to that, to make sure these things dont ever happen again. And i know its a difficult thing for any government to try and do. But theres been several president s, many governments, and a lot of years. So weve got to this stage of now only just getting this report released. I think it said its time and im glad its out now and i was going to be a lot more things coming out. Im sure well find out a lot of things that we didnt know before. But as i always say at the end of the day, its not rain my michel home, its not bring any of them home, but we do have to preserve for the future generations that are coming up and a lot of the children are turning that have werent here turning 20, who lost parents and loved ones. So its important that we make sure that theyre safe and that is really our job. So thats pretty much why you know, feel, its important that we have that information so that we know what to do next. In case this ever happens again, that we are prepared and we can make sure that this doesnt happen so that we have the steps and the tools and the information. And if you dont mind me on, on such a post on a personal level, 2 decades on youve been having to raise your family without your husband. How would you now deal with that as a family, even though its 2 decades on where none of us really like this surface and all those images get repeated on the Television Wall to wall . It must be so incredibly difficult. Well my girls are not from him, so theyre from my husband now. So theyre 13. 15. But they believe this with navy, this is my nightmare which became their nightmare and they became their legacy now because theyre a part of me and he, michael, is a part of me. So theyre part of him. Even though its not his parents, obviously its not at their father, but theyre very connected to michael through me. And the job is that they continue to legacy. But you know, i just also want to make sure theyre very safe growing up. And especially if im not here in the future that they can navigate and be not have to worry about planes, you know, going into buildings where they working and date. Its a full time. Worry for what should i really never, ever happen again. I know its been a very difficult weekend. Few monica, and all the people who are in touch with everybody. Appreciate you taking the time talking to us and ill take more americans were allowed to leave afghan this done on thursday. The taliban, giving them the green light to flee on charter flights. Almost 10 days after the official end of the us withdrawal. Many molto remain as the biden administration grapples with the fall out. The series of leave messages is now shedding light on the failed efforts to get it. Citizens out an american citizens. Yes, all of them we are abandoning american citizens. Are those texts which havent been verified were disclosed by michael yon. Hes a War Correspondent for us. Special Forces Soldiers was among the civilians working with the military. Im private networks to rescue stranded americans. He gave us details of his conversation with a high ranking us Army Officer that colonel was not physically present, but he was in contact major general Chris Donahue who, who was the Combatant Commander on the ground. And so that Colonel Wasnt physically there. In fact, he was very frustrated. You can see from that tax, there was more tax those while he was really demonstrating a lot of frustration at one point you said, can you ram the gate . In other words, hit it with the car and get in. I mean, he wanted to rescue those people and you know, he, i hope that his tags dont cause him any problems. Hes the kind of general we need. No, he didnt want to follow those orders. He wanted to get them out. We had 3 jets on the ground that were private jets that were paid for by a friend of mines team. His name is rick clay, and his team had paid for 3 jets. They were on the ground civilian jets waiting. And the us military was not letting even civilian americans with passports, american passports, our biggest problem on getting people out actually is the u. S. Government. Its actually not the todd man. I know that sounds crazy, but the biggest problem is not valid in italy. Man, im actually its in some cases of actually helped us. You cant even make up the stuff. This is like something weird movies. So taliban is saying that us forces, happy to come and get them, or call us to let them through. Nobody can make up the stuff. I dont care whos fault it is the department of state or the military. Its all of your fault. You didnt let them in period they were at the beginning. Then of course, the next day we have a pentagon in the white house. Theyre going know, you know, all american citizens who wanted to get in could have gotten in. But they couldnt actually make it to the airport and were saying, excuse my language, i dont know if i can say this on russian tv. They definitely were at the gate period. And what yall know also really is conversations with contractors who are in cobble one of them, claiming that 45 americans, including women and children, were unable to enter the apple, even if they had the u. S. Passport with them, the source claim that some even beaten and assaulted just for trying to get in and added that he was asking senior officers for clarification on how they could be helped as they faced a terrifying wait. However, the commanders apparently refused to step in, leaving those still stuck outside the airport to meet their fate. The chaos that we remember seeing another contract, a rope that us generals knew that their citizens were stuck outside the apple, but still wouldnt grant access. He proposed paying the government such as the u. K. To help and left americans and confirm the general Mar Millie chair of the us joint chiefs of stuff has made the decision to not open the gate. Can you confirm . General milly was mentioned by name as the leader that is condemning them to death. Yes, i can confirm that mentioned by name. The picture coming from those conversations is in stark contrast to the narrative from the biden and ministration. Whitehouse kept insisting that the situation was under control and no american citizens will be left behind. What were doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day. Its working to create safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. I think theyre responsible say americans are stranded. They are not. We are committed to bringing americans who want to come home homes completed one of the biggest err list in history. Extraordinary success. And this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of United States, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals allow for the evacuation. Michael young wrote a scathing letter to the army high command, highlighting some of what he saw as missteps. Specifically, the us nationals were abandoned that the gates while free, empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them. Weve also had to come for clarifications, but theyve so far declined to comment. Yall know believes that the lack of transparency has made matters worse. Thats what americans are saying. We leave no one behind. Right. And right now weve seen the military leave people behind the gate. But its, its a sin to say, well, im just going to live because its humiliating. So we just have to leave behind and lie about it, know were going to try to get them out and were getting a lot of them out right now. The military in the Department State are in our way, at this point. So in addition to leaving people behind, they are stopping us from getting them out. Now, Department State isnt our way where we want the military and the government to get out of our way. We dont need their help anymore. I mean, now that were getting success as civilians because you know, we can do it. We dont need them, were faster or more efficient. And we dont have the bureaucracy and were just smarter than they are. The british prime ministers admitted bringing a key pledge of his Election Manifesto by raising personal taxes to the highest level in decades. We promise not to raise the rates of income tax, national insurance, or v a t. This is a tax guarantee, it will protect the income, so hardworking families across the next parliament, the no conservative government, no conservative government to speak to every once to raise taxes. And i will be honest with the highest like steps. Yes, i accepted the break manifest commitment, which is not something yeah, which is not something i do likely, but a global pandemic within one of its follows and 18 months spending bonanza because of kobe 19 that seen the national Debt Spiral in the 1st year of the pandemic the government borrowed 300000000000 pounds a large part of which was to fund the work as Furlough Scheme for his johnson. Cold Tuesdays Tax Hike a difficult but responsible decision needed to fix a Funding Shortfall in health and social care. Were beginning. The biggest catch up program in the history of the an hfs, the libby will share the cost as fairly, as possible between people and businesses. Because we all benefit from a well supported and a chest and all businesses benefit from a healthy workforce. The shuttle were comparison secretary, jonathan reynolds, reacting to the prime minister, essentially saying the way the government try to frame this issue of, for example, people living longer and having healthier lives and insensitive way of dealing with what are very real issues for the elderly when it comes to that pensions to governments. Cases of the 1st day or in the pandemic, have produced a statistical aberration. I reject the presentation of this issue as the source of intergenerational Tension Or Unfairness because we all have an interest in ensuring that theres a decent State Pension in the future. We would never present Increase Longevity as a problem. The pretends to the prime minister is only here because its time to make is not going to wash. Hes putting a sticking plaster over the gaping wounds which his party inflicted. He made the comment of social care before the pandemic, and he said he would pay for it without raising taxes before the pandemic. Now this is of course, the 2nd Manifesto Pledge that the prime minister has broken within a day. The 2nd of those being an announcement to raise national insurance contributions, which they the government that is promised not to do in the lead up to that election at the end of 29. 00 teams. So the government, the chancellor, the treasury all with a Balancing Act to do to have tried to please if not all sectors of society as many as possible when it comes to the agenda, not just in the u. K. The so called global gender of build back better Point And Slogan the bars. Johnson repeated again. Much political Commentator Entity whether told us the Tax Hike reflects a responsible behavior by the government during the pandemic. I think it is damaging because of the way its been job to saw where hes playing a pandemic. The government has actually dealt with the kid a district course. No way its been spending money. Were not thinking about the consequences. Its now trying to deal with the consequences by bringing in this additional means, like a Mummy Term has as the leader of the opposition court. And now today, all the problems we had with the chests and with social care interested well before the Camera Wont because thats it for this edition of the week. Please. Thanks for watching. A more great all t programs on the way for you this weekend. Just a moment, im calling from moscow back with you next company in just over half an hour. I see that the the the me the civic leg around the World Expedition 5000 miles round the clock and the dead cob. This done as soon as every country close by you got my food, Gavins Food and Water Harbor to go to chat. Those special needs. I know i got everybody locked down or no more, no food to know what about that . Only give them up. Sure. Can somebody call me, especially in the coven, youre living like the semen of own . But in the 21st century . Ah, the me, me every turn around the traffic circle. Really trying to get away the, the influx of contractors, largely uncontrolled by us government. Disorganized non purpose, it just was too much going on and were zones and there was no coordination really between the companies. The problem was that we had all of the different private military companies running around we out source to quickly and they werent coordinated both in contract terms, but also and on the ground operational terms. So what is your answer to a problem without sourcing
