12:04 pm

12:06 pm
the return of muller paradigm. now he is a very influential figure in the taliban. he was a co founder of the organization. he has been very instrumental in the piece towards going on in katasha. now he had returned with the cold group of taliban leaders to afghanistan. interestingly, staff 1st a destination he would not cobble but can to ha, and that's very symbolic kandahar is the birthplace of the taliban. it's a spiritual home if you like. so i think it's symbolic lee. it was very important that when i return to afghanistan was made there which they have done. we've seen uploaded various images of crowds cheering. and we are expecting at some point that they will make their way to cobble for the formation of the new governments. what that looks like remains to be seen, but that's the next step we can expect. politically. having said that, it has to be remembered that there is still a lot of unrest and it's still a very volatile situation here. and i've kind of done the bridge prime minister
12:07 pm
says the u. k. will do all it can to avert humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. bars, johnson says he doesn't believe military action against the taliban as an option. made those comments while addressing the british parliament. recall the early to discuss the taliban takeover in afghanistan. john all his life 1st now in london outside parliament. so just tell us a bit more about the main purpose of this debate. well, you can, of course, is it deeply interested and formally deeply involved party in the 20 and a to a mission in afghanistan. the senior partner, if you like, behind the united states in that mission m. p. 's would be cold back from their summer holidays, to spend the day here on wednesday discussing exactly what went so badly wrong there. as far as johnson opened the debate, he's be taking questions, as you said, they're making the point that i've kind of see it on the national consciousness.
12:08 pm
150 under 50000 citizens have served and i've sent over the 2 decades of natives involvement. their 457, u. k. personal service personnel have lost their lives. he said he will do everything that you can will do everything to support all those who helped the u. k . mission, he not gonna send in reality, this is going to be a 6 hour session of questions being awesome, quite bruising questions of the prime minister and the government questions not just from the opposition parties, but also within the conservative parties and ranks one, see senior tory and be at the beginning of the week talking about the abject failure of british foreign policy in afghanistan. there'll be questions about the u . k. government's response and preparedness for what happened. forrest johnson and his foreign secretary dominic rob. we're both on holiday. when all of these events began to evolve and unfold at the beginning of the weekend, questions about the failure of western intelligence to predict the swift whole of
12:09 pm
i've gone down to the taliban and questions about what more might have been done to build a sort of coalition of the, willing to stand in afghanistan off to the u. s. left. in the end. of course, if you're looking for answers, you'll probably be disappointed as has been the case in capitals elsewhere. there really aren't very many answers. the motion of this debate, remember, is simply this that this house has considered the situation in afghanistan because in reality, what more can this house, this country really do? jonah and speaking of contentious debate, the plan to reset where i can reckon geez, in the u. k. a big theme of that because a lot of people saying those plans simply don't go far enough. well, in a sense this is the only thing that the u. k can do in the aftermath and that he's tried to provide some assistance to refugees. those most vulnerable and in need,
12:10 pm
particularly focusing on women and girls, the government has announced this resettlement scheme. it says it's the most generous resettlement scheme in british history. it will make up a lot of the substance of debate in parliament today. 20000 afghans will be resettled in this country in the next 5 to 7 years with 5000 coming in the 1st year . women and children in particular, as i said. but already the criticisms are building up. it simply doesn't go far enough. it's not urgent enough, it's not ambitious enough. $5000.00 in the 1st year and the circumstances of immediate threat is appallingly slow and too low and number. say critics where countries like i've kind of started taking 20000 pretty much straight away. and i think the most glaring question the government will have to face is what on earth. these people who are deemed to be at immediate risk of their lives from the taliban, supposed to do having to wait up to 5 years in some cases, to be allowed to come to the u. k. all right, one moment john hall life worst there in london. thanks, john. the united states,
