was that of creating an inclusive political arrangement her own for the moment to stay with us, sit tight because we do want to go to washington. we will come back to you in about 90 seconds to minutes. maybe we're going to talk to heidi joe castro, because heidi to the us secretary of state anthony blinking has been speaking was been saying that's our peter. he's been speaking on the morning talk shows here defending the administration's actions, even as they are ongoing, calling the u. s evacuation of the embassy and cobble ordered and deliberate pushing back on the concerns. and the criticism that that you has us has has been directed toward it. that this has been a chaotic process with helicopters, transporting personnel to a camp out within the international airport. for their security, he did confirm that's happening. he said that the, the embassy staff, which is both civilian and diplomatic, is be moved to ensure they can operate safely and securely. and he says that the u

. s. has told the taliban that there would be a swift and decisive response if this evacuation is interfered or there's any interference with us personnel. he also try to defend the criticism that this is reminiscent of the 1975 evacuation of saigon we've seen already on social media comparisons of the 2 images of helicopters, evacuating the u. s. embassy in both instances. boynkin saying that this is not saigon. he said this is the us leaving the country because he says that the mission to prevent terrorist attacks after $911.00, which was the reason that that us troops entered afghan. instead, he said, was accomplished. and that it is simply not in the u. s. interest to remain in afghanistan as we heard from the president yesterday. there has been no sort of

regret in, in ordering this withdrawal, which is still on track for all us combat troops to soon be out of the country. however, there is certainly pushback from the u. s. from some senators, in particular, marcia blackburn, a republican from tennessee and a member of the armed services committee, saying that this is quote, an utter disaster. what is unfolding? cobble right now with the evacuation of the u. s embassy, heidi, thank you so much heidi to counselor there with the latest on mr. lincoln's comments out of washington. we're in compensation again with harun raheem, me, an analyst and college professor. i guess her and out of history. but when you listen to those administration voices her own out of the states, do you detect any note at all of contrition? and i use the word deliberately because this us administration and the speed with which it's done. what it has done has been criticized by other american politicians as leaving a predictable power vacuum at the heart of essentially an unstable country where

you've got an organization at the taliban just biting that time. absolutely, i think i'm a lot of blame to go around and the us government throughout 20 years know honest on my accept it because of the blame. i'd responsibility if an administration at different times, i'm honest on or they did not plan on a done a, but if you just focus under bite and administration b, b, decide the announcement by the end you would withdraw the us troops on conditionally came right before the contract, it's hard to imagine now, but then there was a lot of media breakthrough that would come at a conference that was supposed to be held near the end of the month. and when we can actually pinpoint the moment that the people use engagement with p

o box can pinpoint that limit that made then turnkey did not have tracking anymore and never been, it's been incredibly difficult to get about to engage in any meaningful way. a way to negotiations. i think it was irresponsible. i was wrong to do the way they did it, but i didn't do it. it was driven obviously, by concentrations of you politic national security. the way to present quite a thought and with no regard to the pond and what's going to happen to on a bite and actually campaign trail. yeah, no responsibility or what happened on it. but we've been incredibly problematic as payment to make data lead. not viewed any other award because of the fact that the us i came up on it's on its own vital national interest issue at the time. a

impose a lot of the use intervention trying to warm up on a worst of cost and deliberate. a lot of things, but to say that you had a north, once ability or that many live millions of ac on might be transferred to you. mention i know the proper body made the statement to make it different. what sort of you were done? i think the dog would have been much more responsible. they at least the bailey, they could have waited. one could have waited to see how the symbol conference played out and would force both. we would have, i think, of had a better outcome if you had more understanding in place before this happened because it was a complete lack of agreement or any sort of understanding at the time of the withdrawal that had been made progress on the piece front on the job boat and

apparently had several conversations with the outgoing military commander in afghanistan in the run up to him winning the election between winning the election and taking the decision to pull the plug on us forces in afghanistan, he had one conversation with that outgoing military commander, now when it comes to intel gathering and reacting to that, did the u. s. military feed the wrong information to the us decision makers or where they simply not listen to. because if you've got the taliban openly writing around afghanistan in stolen slash quiet us home, the people carriers, and they're using our p, jeez, date stamped with the flags of countries, thousands of kilometers away. they are clearly well resourced and they know exactly what they are doing. i e, they are a big threat. if you're the guy who's just about to pull all your forces out and leave this, this pocket of nothing into which the taliban would always clearly want to move. i

think in my opinion, i don't have to go to knowledge. i'm not a person who's a military expert. i don't claim to get politics. but from what i do have an app on the us media often pregnant by the time and clap the club, i'd be he had for perceived that there all the government would fall at the he would have preferred if he hadn't been that he did not. and he's been in dark and did not fall fast, but i think he had already crime and that would be an event 12 and i think he was comfortable with. and i think the term sometimes the tone tony was incredibly painful to listen to. because if you go a part of a buick, be sure bar and you listen to people who are in many of the express. they may not

be supportive, continued your military presence, but they don't expect to be concerned about what happened on her own. i'm going to pause you there for a 2nd because we've just had one report and it is one on confirmed report, and i'd like to gauge your reaction to this. we got this one on confound report saying that the afghan president asked if connie has already left the country. what do you think about that? multiple reports? i'm a hold to know more soon, but it seems likely i think generally it means you're getting closer to to nb. what it means that we will have an intern and an equal contrib, dormant and been bought the process that would lead to the political system. or it just means that the call would be over to abundantly or an engine government that is going to be negotiated in my view, if there were a finer,

like even we would hear about it because at the, in the me to calm down to avoid the worst case scenario trip and people who may want to be people want to i think you can, he's out and i've never from the beginning. if you remember any he's not relevant in the future. he was an issue. if you fly, you don't quit, but he was not ok harun, they have confirmed to our correspondence. charlotte bellis in cobble that mister ghani has indeed left the country. so know televised the dress to say for the good of the country. i'm going to step down to become a president in exile. nothing like that. he's just decided. one assumes helicopter to the airport and get out as soon as you possibly can your thoughts, please just mean i have not been deeper present. danny.

i think he met management has been a major driver, but what we're seeing today, but this uncertain morial and this end to chapter that a lot of people tend or chopping up history to a lot of people in there. hold on this did way. it all ended now you're pretty tiny. and what did you did? i just saw the president. it just crushes. i think i have a hard time. the very just observing it. i haven't really fully understand it. that is a personal reaction to this end of all the chapter coming to like that. and just because, you know, but again, we're long time i believe that the any will not relevant that an act or any more, you know, political future. you had to be dealt with, but in terms of what happened next, which is the thing i care about at this point,

i just hope that there will be an intern government that has an element in that meeting. and i don't choose to multiply power and exclude anyone everyone from the process. and i hope that there would be some sort of open dialogue what, what the little, what the he did on a time. okay. hers, i'm going to interrupt you again to which i apologize. this is clearly an emotional development for you to process. and i, i really appreciate you staying with us and giving us your thoughts at this time. but if he's decided to go and we've got to confirm to our correspondent in cobble now that he has left the country for we understand to dick his stun, that's according to one report that i'm literally just watching it drop on the reuters wire service. he was the, he was the non return valve, that was blocking piece. does the fact that he's now left the country?

does that mean that there will be a peaceful transition to power not just in cobble, but in cobbled province indeed across the country. because this is not like 989 where the taliban controlled a little bit than the majority of the country at the moment. it looks like they're very close to controlling all of the country. absolutely control more than they did when they rolled up. that's the staggering observation. but i think one scenario would have been the horses loyal dependent body would tend to buy the funding called the only place that had left basically and now would have been disaster. i did not a real possibly be a very highly likely scenario because i think no one had loyal anyone. as i said before, i don't think he was in charge for that. he was important to be work for the office to actually conclude or that would be no need to actually apply force

and he had it down and i think it's a good thing that he's down. i absolutely agree with bassett or that he should resign. i need, you should have resign. well, it doesn't leave all the dilemma right now. what they're talking about will on a complete surrender, unilateral surrender, or they will agree to share power with them. i think that they'll be negotiated. if they go with the ladder in terms of that up. okay. good question. ok, heroin. thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us on this very, very difficult dave. the people of afghanistan, if you just joining us here on the 13 g news i just to get you right up to speed with the very latest developments coming to us out of the afghan capital. cobble the now i guess we can say former president asked ref ghani has left the country

that's been confirmed to our team on the ground in cobble. we have one on confirmed reports report rather that he is on his way or he has gone to to just on begging the question that sound bite we played in for you was 30 minutes ago 35 minutes ago, begging the question. when was that filmed? where was it filmed because he was talking about, please don't go looting the streets of cobble. there's no need to behave like that . that was kind of echoing comments that we had from his acting defense minister an hour before that sun. but it was played out to us as well, where the defense minister said everyone is going to be safe. his decision to leave the country of course follows the talks, taking place virtually online. we understand between representatives the taliban organization and representatives or spokespeople for the government in cobble the top line on that still moving very fast story about canister is that asked rough connie has left the country reportedly heading for or he is already in to just on

presumably we assume in a state of safety, i guess to just on might be a staging post on to another country where he would feel perhaps more buried in will he start describing himself as a president in exile a democratically elected president in exile. maybe we will have to wait and see the thing now that we need to know as well is what happens to all the other members of the government. are they going to take up the talents off of a safe amnesty? and we assume as well, an exit out of the country. more on that for you, just as soon as we can here on the news, our 1345, g. let's move on to the other top story. today. people in haiti scrambling to pull survivors from collapse buildings after a powerful earthquake, it struck about 160 kilometers west of the capital. puerto prince, more than 300 people are known to have died, but that number has been climbing unclaiming quickly. catcher, lipper saw yon has more in mountains of rubble. patience,
