film archives fanning for decades reveals the forgotten truth of the country's modern history. the forbidden real park free the rise of the machine on a just a holding the powerful to account as we examine the us his role in the world on al jazeera. ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, lauren taina, this is sharon hughes. i live from london coming off the fact that the afghan army that we in our partners trained simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot took us all by surprise and us defense extra lloyd austin acknowledges

miscalculations of the chaos taken to the war in afghanistan, taliban says it will bring back a constitution from almost 60 years ago, but only where there is no contract with its version of islamic. no. she is, you know, position parties form a coalition against the president after he gave himself power to rule by decree. plus the james bonds faces his toughest mission. yet as the nature of w 7 film premiers in london, kennedy saved him off and bought a huge upsets in the champions league is around with the beaten by day b. thomson sheriff terrible plus lino mfc school. his 1st go for paris and it was washed away, was quite a united states, military commander has cooled, the end of the 20 year war and i got on

a strategic failure. general mark committee was speaking on the 1st of 2 days of congressional hearings of the chaotic american withdrawal and taliban takeover last month. 1000000 on with different sex re, lloyd austin and the head of central command, kenneth mackenzie, of a question by senators. find an administration has been widely accused of being unprepared for the full of cobble. senior officials have admitted that taliban forces advanced far more quickly than anticipated. we help build a state, mr. chairman, but we could not for donation. the fact that the afghan army, that we and our partner strained, simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise, and it would be just honest a claim. otherwise, we need to consider some uncomfortable truth that we didn't fully comprehend. the depth of corruption and poor leadership and the senior ranks that we didn't gras damaging effect effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president connie

of his commanders that we didn't anticipate. the snowball collect effect caused by the deals that the taliban commanders struck with local leaders in a wake up, a doha agreement. and that the doha agreement itself had a demoralizing effect on afghan soldiers. i think i'll hang is capitol hill in washington dc. what else to the senate committee here from the top us military officials? you know, it was ours, but not a whole lot of new information. this was a much anticipated hearing. really the 1st time that the top ross is going to find public. since the fall of cobble and we did have one foreign exchange with the republican senator who said he thinks that both the secretary of defense and the chairman joint chiefs of staff should resign over the failure. they've given no indication that they planned to do that. for the senators, mostly this is all political posturing. democrats said donald trump did this because when he was president, he made a deal with the taliban to take our troops. republic at saint joe biden is

responsible that it was his decision to set a date, giving the taliban basically a timeframe for when you asked me to god. what was wrong though? that was really the heart of the hearing and the only sort of glimmer of new evidence we got from that, which is the chairman joint chiefs who said part of the intelligence failure, he believes that from the fact they pulled trainers out of africa and unit 3 years ago, so they couldn't really know exactly how hard or all the african troops were going to fight. one question that came up again was whether or not biden was told to keep behind 2 and a half 1000 troops. and this is what made a lot of new so basically it was an interview, a few months back that joe by president via was asked to turn. did your military advisors tell you to keep the 2500 troops in afghanistan? he said, not that he could recall, but we heard from both of the gentlemen in uniform, that they, they wouldn't say, yes, we will tell you exactly what we told the president. but said,

we always believe that we should keep 2500 troops in afghanistan press secretary at the white house was asked to address that discrepancy. there was a range of viewpoints as was evidenced by their testimony today that were presented to the president that were presented to his national security team as would be expected. as he asked for, he asked for a clear, clear, i'd didn't ask them, not to sugar, could it what their recommendations were? it was also clear and clear to him that that would not be a long standing recommendation that there would need to be an escalation to increase in true numbers. it also need, it would also mean war with the taliban and it would also mean the potential loss of casualties. the president was just not willing to make that decision. he didn't think it was in our, the interests of the american people or the interest of, of our troops. so basically what the white house is saying is he was told $2500.00 trips could stay, but that it wouldn't be a stable situation that he would have to send more troops. because when the us

violated to deal with the taliban, the u. s. military felt that they would in fact start attacking us troops again. so seem to have clarified a little bit of what that discrepancy came from this hearing, but really not much else to go ahead and thank you very much. indeed. a prominent afghan politician says his home has been destroyed by the taliban. asthma and his family say members of the group, designated explosives at that property. and none of the cars and all the valuables were taken despite taliban reassuring former government officials, when it sees power last month that they would be no retribution. law had been part of efforts to drive the taliban after district and persuade young adults to join us back forces he since gone into hiding torres is planning to reinstate a constitution for many, 6 decades ago. i've got a new router. i want to apply the 964 charter, but only where it doesn't conflict with strict version of islamic law. existing

constitution was drawn up with help with united states in 2004 at the time and says it wants no foreign interference. with its constitution was adopted by our son's last king mohammed the hare, shaw making country a constitutional monarchy for almost a decade before he was overthrown. in 1973, it gave women the right to vote for the 1st time and opened the doors for the increased participation in politics. the king could dissolve parliament that parliament was allowed to pass no confidence votes in the government. and islam was the state religion, but it wasn't mandatory clergy row was limited in several areas of society, including judicial proceedings. i'm a borrow has more from couple the taliban seem to be trying to extend an olive branch to the international community by saying, look, we could have rec to the constitutional declaration of 1998 with a tati benway and power here. got it, done. is that we chose to go for the 1964 constitution white basket situation in

particular because it's widely seen as the constitution that pays away for constitutional democracy protective the rights of expression, the right, the freedom of expression of the freedom of thought established independent institutions with an independent judiciary. however, there's a cap yet to that constitution, $964.00 states that the king has the right to dissolve the parliament and appoint the prime minister. under the current situation, it seems that the supreme lead of the taliban, the middle $1000000.00, the commander of the faith will have better law will ultimately have the final say he could be the one to fire the government and point to any parliament though the parliament sorry or decide that this provision is in conflict with a chevy law and therefore it has to be, it has to be changed. i own, or he,

me as an assistant professor of law at the american university that's kind of stony joins us live from rome. thanks very much for being with us. so what do you think lives behind this talk of going back to that constitution at area constitution? so i think there are 2 questions. first is what it means. what does this mean? i think you can look at different function of constitution. one basic function of confusion is to define the political regime defined the game. the, the rules are political game. how about i'm already in there and it means that going back and i can pick people, confusion doesn't necessarily mean that they have committed to the political regime embedded in that kind of petition which was a kind of a monarchy i'm calling. discuss that how the issue elected parliament was disposed in petitions, but we should have this caveat the all about have stated that they are going to have their merit,

which denies any element of the government. the other more important element function of a constitution is that it could be a contract. it enumerate the right, the citizens as limits on the power stay tolerant to have so bar, i'm not admitted any bill of rights and limits under power in the country. they always say that they're right, that citizens are protected, including women under share. yeah. but what they build to do is to define institutionally who get to define this, that is not the law. how it like to be understood and implement that something that a $964.00 actually did. it also have proven that there's no law in the country can be repugnant to the basic principles of islam over enquire why that an elected parliament would be in responsible or not. in that the laws that would contradict it is mentally different in the type of political rule have

performed and envision and subscribed to tell about the context. so this and it was made to it with a remote from a, during a visit from the chinese investor. what was that significant? absolutely. i think it comes to the 2nd question of why it was made. i believe that it was announced to meet an external condition imposed by the international committee or expected by some members of the international community as a precondition or normalizing relationship. and then it was maybe under imminently, as you pointed out in a meeting with an bassinger, which tells you who the audience this announcement is. and i do believe with the correspondence that is basically an olive branch extended to the world community. although the content and the significance of, as i think is vague, much in doubt, given all the, all the limit that come to it given that

a critical review made given that it would be no bill of rights. institutional that would accompany the adoption of the constitution. but it seems like it is just meant to need some external conditions imposed by some country. and i think that explains why it was made in that context. and why would may go on permanently in a meeting with one of the major internal policy. you're not going anywhere else. you is suggesting that it's designed for international audience, but what would ordinary afghans make of return to the non 64 constitution? how did they view it? the welcome given to the what we knew all about ripple views, as you pointed out in your segments, it recognizes the rights of all citizens including women, to right to be elected, the right to both derived should, to education of all the issues that are critical, controversial right now for the other one. so we welcome development. however, as i said earlier on,

do not understand this document as it limits under power. they do believe that all those rights going to be subject to the limitations of area. but in order to have an institutional arrangement, the way to $964.00, had to parisian lives and implement those restrictions in a way that would come. the views of the taking, checked out the views of the public would be politically conduct the public as well . and also it's kind of the whole idea that the part of that i'm going to show that would be against the show would be ignored. something that was dated according to report is also a problematic because the 900 people constitution was endorsed by the senior religious scholars of the time. now, on basically adding florida qualifications on a document that was negotiated by different credit on it, including the clerical class, and was seen as an acceptable institutional solution to the problem of the relation

between islam and state power in the country. it is basically coined all the useful elements of the $964.00 confusion away domestically, actively useful way and always left up at a signal the symbolic statement, all of flexibility. and i think the audience is primarily the outside world. welcome to the do lol. i've tried to point out the discrepancy because of our policies and actions and the cognitive not petition, but i don't think i don't expect that a ton of one would take that as a kind of a plan of action that they would try to bring their quality their, their met, that into compliance that i can kind of situation because i believe that policy we have been up them so are, are funded mentally opposed to the basic assumptions up and i think people can heroin re, me, thank you very much. indeed, you are now to thank you. thank you. coming off on the news from london. ah,

i'm sorry. the world health organization apologizes to 21 of its workers. are accused of sexually abusing people during an outbreak. fane declares a disaster zone, triggering financial support for non and devastation by 9 days of volcanic eruptions and organizes of a token and picks are still unsure. the tree comes to the game for not story and sport ah, opposition politicians in june, his year has warned bell call for widespread protests unless the president reverses, moves to seize power for political parties, formed a coalition to oppose k. i say it, they say last legitimacy, after carrying out a qu last week cited and he ruled by decree and ignore the parts of the

constitution. and smith reports from genus, well the dina and the presenting a united front against the president they say is a legitimate for political part is a warning chi side, but he must back track on his decision to seize executive power to be or is the president has taken everything he has canceled everything, even the institution for sorting out these problems like fighting corruption. all these entities have been closed by the president. there's no parliament, there's no committee for overseas laws. there's no government. yeah. demonstrations have all ready been held against president saeed who last week announced he'd rule by decree and ignore parts of the constitution. but after he sacked the prime minister and suspended parliament in july, on monday to nearly as foreign minister told the un general assembly that the president was acting with the will of the people in without happy to dangerous situation, threatening our country and community is attribute to

a deeply rooted political polarization and a social comic and health crisis. this is why the president of the republic had to interfere and take his shoes of exceptional resolutions and measures based on our constitution to put the contract back on the right path towards democracy. all the largest political party, another says the president should call election to prove he has a mandate. why should one person says that he can anybody the will of the people? so if he is with, with the will of the people and if he is expressing their will have people he has the authority or for elections and let the people decide local and international human rights groups. a warning of a slide towards authoritarianism. while the development in july were broadly popular to month own, people are growing frustrated by what they see is a lack of progress. analysts say that could work in the new coalitions favor with

the typical mach prizes, but we are going to the ethics of it's in the upcoming weeks and months. they would seize maybe the opportunity to show that affordably, even by a power grab even by the gathering or the powers prison fight, is unable to find the real crisis of the conditions that are social problems, economy, etc. in the 2 months since case fight seized power, political parties and civil society groups here, say the president hasn't approached any of them. now they say they're reminding him again, that back here and that he should talk to them and listen. bernard smith, i'll just 0 jonas, dozens of hoofs, rebels and pro government soldiers have been killed and fighting in yemen. they're battling for control of murray. the last northern, the city held by pro government fighters at home to hundreds of thousands of people who fled to conflict in other areas of the country who stepped up their efforts to
