me ah, shoot some of the best documents resumes from across the network on al jazeera. oh, this is al jazeera. ah, hello again, i'm pete adobe. you're watching the news out live for my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the former afghan president ref ghani is in the united arab emirates. he says he didn't run away but left to avoid seeing bloodshed. the signs of

resistance against taliban rule that these 3 people reported dead off to shop. suffice a protest in eastern afghanistan, mchale, the cobble international airport as taliban fighters and us led forces tried to disperse. the crowds, also ahead building stronger ties. the leaders of turkey and ethiopia about to boost economic cooperation and trade and demo ashwin sport who will be seeing dominic team left the u. s. hyphen trophy for a 2nd time. next month. the defending champion has withdrawn from the ground from tournament with a reef injury that keeps him out for the rest of the season. ah, welcome to the program. in the last hour the african former president asked ref ghani has been speaking from the united. ara amorous,

defending his decision to leave cobble, he said he left to avoid violence and denies rumors that he fled with suitcases full of cash. the you are, he says he's been taken in with his family on humanitarian grounds. much, much disaster and they should improve. if i stayed, i would have witness bloodshed and couple, couple should not be turned into another yemen or syria over power struggles. so i was forced to leave. i left with just a waste coat and some clothes. the personality assassination against me has been ongoing, saying i have taken money with me. the accusations are baseless lies, but you can even ask customs officials, they are basically well, so watching facebook address for us with our diplomats again, it's a james based james, i guess buried point 8 minutes into a 10 minute pre recorded address. there was a little bit of confession cuz he said, we failed you and also the taliban are failing afghanistan.

yes, but i think the main point to this address was to come back and re rebut some of the allegations that would be made against him. the main allegation clearly is that he fled his country and that's a very difficult one for him to address. but he said it was to avoid further bloodshed to avoid syria or yemen taking place in cobble. but the other allegation is the really damming one. and that's the allegation that when he left, he left with 4 cars that was packed full of money. and that when they then got into that, had he cop to, they stuffed as much money as in this possible. and some of that had to be left behind on the tarmac. that's an allegation that came from the russian embassy in cobble, backed by the russian special representative for us. going to stand, send me a cobble off, who has said that afghans could consider putting ghani on trial. the allegation is that he went out with a $169000000.00 of cash. and it's certainly an allegation that were

reverberated on the social media among senior afghans, senior members of his former cabinet, and those that were close to him. let me just tell you what was said by his defense minister. you remember peter? the pictures right at the end before he fled the night before him with his defense smith, mister bisman han, and they were on the hill overlooking cobble at a time when the taliban virtually surrounding cobble. well ms. miller con, has been on twitter. he said, those trading or selling out their mother land should be punished and arrested. and then he added the hash tag, interpol arrest ghani. what's happening with un stuff you're there at un headquarters in new york as ever james. but the us has had a big presence in afghanistan for so many years now. me un has states are out. remember the u. m. was there during the time when the

taliban that were in charge in afghanistan in the 19 ninety's? the un is temporary, relocating so might call it an evacuation. some of their stuff were told that up to a 100. you and stuff international staff are going to be moved to context on to the city of al marty. well they'll be a remote office set up so they continue their work. other international stuff will stay in cobble, but it's worth telling. they're already quite a lot that weren't there because of cobra that had quite a lot of remote working and quite a lot of people who actually had not been working from inside afghanistan doing the work of the un mission that you know. uh huh. i think the big question though, is also about the local staff that work for the un in afghanistan. the estimate is there's about 18000 if you add all the dependence and all the, the afghan national staff that working for the united nations at the moment they

are not leaving afghanistan. and they're not being given a chance to leave afghanistan. and i can tell you some of the un stuff unions of very concerned about the situation. james, many thanks. james. bass. diplomatic. get us or they're joining us here on the news are from new york. well, back in again, it's done. taliban fighters have reportedly open fire on protest as the 3 people as such, have been killed at the demonstration against the group takeover in the eastern african city of july. people were marching in the streets chanting and carrying the afghan flag. video of the event later showed taliban fights is firing up into the air and hitting protested with sticks. the gunfire has also been hurt during process in the eastern city of coast. there have been no immediate reports of injuries. demonstrators raised the african national

flag there over a road in the city, and places were seen chasing the crowds away. meanwhile, a couple airports. the us lead troops fight into the air to disperse people who are gathering, trying to get out of the country. rob mcbride is in cobbler. i think it's being seen is really since the taliban just assume power a couple of days ago as the 1st major active defined against them as july the by there's a very important city. it is east of here towards the border with pakistan and this protest began over the national flag. now since the taliban have taken power, they have very consciously been removing the afghan national flag and replacing it with the taliban flag. we've seen that a lot here in the capital cobble. it's left a lot of people. very upset, but people have by and large, put up with especially here in cobble. well, it seems in july, the bad people have not put up with that. they've had, has been a protest. people kicked back and pushed back against this. several 100 people took

to the streets proudly waving the afghan flag. they marched on a square, apparently, and put the flag back up after have been removed by the taliban. this resulted in a clash with the taliban themselves. initially we understand taliban fighters began firing in the trying to disperse the protesters. then it seemed the firing with more direct into the crowd, resulting in death and injury. so it is very serious incident. there was another protest over the same issue, the, the removal of the national flag in the province of costs, that it again involves several $100.00 people. so it is the motive issue here, and it does come at a sensitive time. this is the eve of afghanistan's independence day when we might expected that well, feelings are running high. there is a possibility of more protests than the possibility of more classes. well,

while the taliban have taken charge of the country, we are still waiting to hear the make up of any future government. the taliban says it will be inclusive on weapons. they are a member of the taliban political office. anessa connie was pictures, meeting national reconciliation chairman abdullah, abdullah and the former president had ca, sy, in cobble. the taliban co founder and political chief has returned to afghanistan. abdul ghani baroda arrived to a crowd of supporters in kandahar the birthplace of the taliban. brought to lead the groups negotiators and talks with us on the african governments. he was freed from a prison in pakistan at the request of the united states 3 years ago after taking power in cobble. the afghan taliban is now and talks with the pakistani government come, all hider has more now from the kind of to come inside pakistan. a sunnier of delegation comprising of his, of on leaders in august on, at the moment. they've already had an important round of dogs with the country's

military leadership. they have met the bugs on the prime minister buckets on his dressing on the point that has to be an inclusive government. the taliban have already signaled that they will tolerate other religious minorities, as well as admitted written down to varman inclusive government. it is going to be important to see what kind of progress will be made and reaching a political settlement and meantime to budget on your foreign minister planning to witness turkey and also a whole consultation red. but if stage such as iran, the minutes dawn with big gets on, gets on and also read the chinese down to barge buckets on has played a lead role. and facilitating that dog between the taliban and the united states. it is acting as a facilitator and of course what happens head, and if lama bots will be crucial. but it's also important to note that buggered on and watching cautiously, the moves inside of running on the signs

a good defender force, diamond decades that the people of a gun it's don, have a rail volpe and reaching a political settlement to the one conflict u. k. prime minister boris johnson says britain will do all it can with 30 humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. but critics, including the opposition labor party. so he's already falling short with the home office restricting the number of afghans who will be allowed in protest has gathered outside the parliament today as m. p. 's inside reckoned with the cost of the u. k. mission in afghanistan. john hall has more from london. the collective anguish of parliament in peas brought back from some a recess to debate. the failure of a mission that claimed 457 british lives make bars. johnson described what the u. k . would do. in the aftermath, our efforts, the focus on supporting young can people in the region itself, particularly those play in conflict or the threat of violence. we therefore call on

the united nation to lead a new humanitarian effort. in this region. the government has announced a new refugee resettlement scheme, instantly called an ambitious by critics that aims to bring 20000 of those most in need to britain over the next few years. and despite promises to evacuate up to 10000 people who worked with the u. k mission afghans, resident in the u. k protested outside. we just want some things the bottom on do for our families back home for them for last 20 years. and they can't leave them behind this picture speaks for everything. do you feel the government is doing enough to help the people who helped know back in the house among questions about the failure of u. k. intelligence and the prime minister's absence on holiday as the crisis unfolded last week. there was a powerful indictment of the west's withdrawal from a military veteran on the government's own back bench. nation is mobilized and

muster. nations determine and have patients. and here we've demonstrated, sadly that we, the western united kingdom does not know. this is a harsh lesson for all of us. amid sometimes emotional interventions, bye and fees. and despite the government's best efforts to talk up some of the successes of the past 20 years in afghanistan, there was no disguising the fact that it simply hadn't foreseen or been prepared for the speed with which i've got to stand fell to the taliban. and that in fact, this was all around the grand scale humiliation the leader of a leading member of the nato alliance, forced to admit to parliament here that its nationals and support staff were only able to leave cobble at all because the taliban was allowing them to read in the

end the debate as simple motion that this house considered the situation in afghanistan could achieve little more than that. jonah how al jazeera london. hi no cling. cuz the former us deputy assistant secretary of defense or east asia, he joins his live now from alexandria in virginia. i know, clint, welcome to the news out. the strategic balance was in balance. the status quo was basically ok in that sense, should the us of state put well, thank you very much for having the theatre. i wouldn't tell you to state the obvious that current events have certainly demonstrated that we should have maintained the united states and satellites should maintain a reprint and not only to contend with the potential rise again of terrorist threats. an afghan expand that threatened the

united states partners and interests, but also, and perhaps equally importantly, maintaining for presidents in the new challenges that the united states faces in terms of great power competition in china and russia. does it make the united states or does it make any other former countries who had a presence in afghanistan, potentially a target? now you know, 4 days ago in this channel we were reporting on how the taliban basically unlocked the doors of the prison, contained inside the bag, ram airbase, 5000 inmates. a lot of ice or people, a lot of al qaeda people. and there is that kind of hawkish, john bolton, mindset in america. now that says, look, what bite has done is take us back to pre 911 and set us up for potentially something not dissimilar to 911. well i would say the threat has

exponentially increase we saw in recent history when we pulled. ready out of iraq precipitously and prematurely that, that allowed for the caliphate to take hold. and we saw that this not only chair i, people within the lead export, or at least certainly support the followers and other parts of the world in europe. and in se, se a launch pass. and of course, we know we're all here in the united states, in particular, very clear on the history of 911 and provide. and let me just say a rule that can stand allowed for a sanction or from which i was able to plan, organize and train in a way that allow them to attack us on the the events in the last several days have

certainly increased the risk of that reoccurring, as well as potentially a re emergence, again, other terrorist entities using as a sanction, or do you think in the white house or in the state department? anyone is feeding the kind of advice, the kind of information that you're taking us through. now, back to the white house or it's, but another way, do we have to kind of shake up the kaleidoscope. that is afghanistan, because if you take the word taliban out of afghanistan, now you could say, is nothing more than a very, very big drugs cartel. it plugs the drugs, it harvests them, it sells them, it gets the profit it loaned as the money. it buys the guns to use and protect and enclose the country. i can't really see a difference between that and what was going on in some south american countries. on a much smaller scale in the 1900 ac, the 1900 ninety's in the early 2,

thousands you raised some very valid points and some very valid concerns. i think again, if you take your map roll up that and again, i would draw your attention to the role of afghanistan in the new contents of our competition. the taliban now charge about data that has already reached out to the ccp. let government, it is likely that china will establish the relations with the power bog lead that will give chinese on better access to great or minerals and in return will build back offers with ram and be what the taliban will use. those types of resources for, i would presume will only be my line activities,

given their history, both in power, as well as the surgeon force and supporter of international terrorism. so i think the issue is, is more acute than, let's say, a cartel operating in the western hemisphere. those are some of my concerns. hi nuclear, really good to get your opinion on this. still developing a massive local and regional event. thank you so much for joining us here on the news. i would appreciate, i think talking to us there from the united states. lots more fields come from here on the news, our including booster shots within weeks, the us push to shore protection against the delta variance of koby 19 i'm charlotte balice and emergency hospital and cobble were adult because the treating patients who were shot cobble internationally and the olympian, who auctioned off the metal from tokyo to help a sick child that story coming up with gemma in the sports teams. ah.

the police in southern turkey had arrested at least 6. i saw suspects. they were detained on wednesday during a raid in the city of donna investigate to say they managed to seize documents and material linked what they called tara groups. the suspects had previously been operating in syria and then to turkey illegally. if the o p as prime minister meant in turkey for an official visit, he met the president rach uptime. irwin for talks on improving ties. the leaders discuss the conflicts in ethiopia to grow reach, and both also vowed to boost economic cooperation and trade. this isn't that of a 1st visit abroad since his government launched its military operation. let's speak now to wrestle, said, who's in ankara. russell in real terms, what comes out of the meeting now? well, the main thing was mostly about the business turkey as

a huge investor in ethiopia, roughly around $3000000000.00 towards when west and in many of the 3 of the factors in the 2 of you are there. and there are tons of the turkish business men, also the business in europe. so 2 key ones to secure it in west meant in europe. yeah. on the other hand, the conflict in pickering region and the ability in the company of christine turkish, in western they're in today's meeting at one wanted to make sure that building westman are secure there and i'll be a metal. so as a seeking for help from target support from turkey, because the company is suffering from the, the economy coal difficulties and also a skin turkey to provide this security as well. turkey has recently increased if pover, anything, westman through africa, sees it as a strategic place and particularly the eastern africa is quite important for turkey

because one of its major overseas military you'd be, is also a military base also in the neighboring country in some mail. yeah. and that one of the ability to be a cool cook cook kreger these, the ability in the neighboring companies as one of the other issues that they have discussed was the, the routine sugar region between the tube and sudan. pres. one said that just last week he forced to be dead, the chairman of the sudan, 70 course of hand. and he talked about the same issue and he said that as to nation to, to friendly nations. it told him that he's turkey will be ready to, to, to why the solution or to, to contribute to the problems solution, including the mitigation as well. as i said, turkey sees africa, the strategic plays for investments. and the reason is military pub, over the, over the continent. so in that sense, have in good relations, particularly in business and economy with them. one of the most populous companies

in as africa is quite important for turkey. and while, if you also need the economy of support and security support for turkey, that meeting was basically focusing on boosting the economy relation between 2 companies here in color. russell. thank you very much. russel said joining us live from ankara back to the us. america starting to offer cupboard 19 booster vaccination tall citizens from september. the 20th, as the delta variant causes a rise of infections. the department of health is recommending the boosters for those have taken both doses of either the madana or the pfizer by on tech vaccinations at least 8 months ago. it will be offered to health workers and the elderly initially lived now to washington and correspondent mike. mike, this is something of a change in the message, but it's a reaction to that infection rate still climbing well, it is indeed,

it's also a reaction to 3 reports that were drawn up by the cdc and discussed the no white house briefing behind me here by the cobra action force, those reports found very seriously that the rates of infection were increasing and that the level of a thicker sea of some of the vaccines was dropping. and largely if, because of the delta variant and it's particular strength. so with a kind of statistic that they are producing that show in some areas or in a nursing home in particular, have some a 30 percent drop in the efficiency of the vaccine. the cdc has recommended that booster shots be introduced in a bit to restore the power of the vaccine. now we're talking about the phase 2 shot and the madana to shot. the johnson and johnson vaccine is still under consideration whether there's going to be able to shop there. but the bottom line is that come 20th opposite september, says the coven task force. every american will be able to have a booster shot,

provided it is 8 weeks after the 2nd shot had been received. do you think the brighten administration, though internationally might be criticized for this when they start green lighting it mike? because so many big parts of the world around the world have yet to receive even the 1st dose of, of ac, seen let alone 2 doses followed up by a booster shot. well, this is something that the world health organization has been arguing for weeks now . and it reiterated its criticism of countries vaccinating before the rest of the world gets their own vaccinations. and this was reiterated just before the coven task force here, release its findings. the emergency director of w h o my crime making at put the tweet in which he said it's rather like people who have life jackets taking a the one while they'll stole those on the ship. who don't have any life jackets at

all, but the bite and administration is sensitive to this type of criticism. and that has been a response from the cobra top force here saying that it doesn't have to be an either or situation. it says that some 115000000 doses of the vaccine have already been shipped abroad. and the aim is to eventually ship abroad some 600000000 doses of vaccine to some 80 countries. so the argument here is that the americans can get the booster shot, but that does not mean that they will not be made of vaccine available to other parts of the world, but still doesn't diminish really w a to so intense and criticism not only of the united states, but other countries that are considering or have implemented that boost shot mike many thanks, mike, kind of correspond at the white house. officials in australia, a warning corona virus cases have not yet peeked in the city of sydney and say,
