we have for the last 20 years. so there will be people who will say this will should've been doing for 20 years because we should've held the taliban's feet to the fire. and it think it was quite a good letter forjoe biden to climb down because he's really put himself in a corner with this leaving by the 11th of september, he has been very gung ho about it. more so than donald trump every was and these are willing to come back should the need arise. medicines will move and give everyone a letter to climb down. what do you think the british public will make of that? truth? what do you think the british public will make of that?— what do you think the british public will make of that? why we're leaving if the taliban — will make of that? why we're leaving if the taliban have _ will make of that? why we're leaving if the taliban have come _ will make of that? why we're leaving if the taliban have come back, - if the taliban have come back, should — if the taliban have come back, should we _ if the taliban have come back, should we not of done something else _ should we not of done something else it's — should we not of done something else. it's very divisive issue that is been — else. it's very divisive issue that is been going on for 20 years this been _ is been going on for 20 years this been a _ is been going on for 20 years this been a lot— is been going on for 20 years this been a lot of commentary and debate about— been a lot of commentary and debate

intelligence going to come from? that is really interesting point and we've seen in the past couple of days, i was struck by the reports of this family that had been killed and no one seems to know exact facts. it doesn't matter but for the sake of the report, a large family had died in the age of the children and the exact place that the incident happened is a bit vague and it's because we don't know or have the eyes on the ground any more and yet, as you say, the uk government in the us government is saying that we will strike when we are prepared to come back, but how will we know that the taliban, if it has changed at all, is propaganda that's become a lot more professional and we have seen taliban leaders on twitter and these very smooth press conferences. we will get one line from afghanistan at the taliban and the reality will

probably be very different but how will we know. that is one very good reason to keep a very small presence in afghanistan that so many people are now saying that is maybe what we should have done. but public opinion is very interesting because it has shifted dramatically. they're pretty fickle on this. they wanted troops out of afghanistan a few months ago. those are a clear and now it is all gone totally wrong and they changed their mind. it will be interesting to see how they respond to what happens next. to see how they respond to what happens next-— to see how they respond to what happens next. going to the front .a i e happens next. going to the front -a~e of happens next. going to the front page of the _ happens next. going to the front page of the independent. - happens next. going to the front page of the independent. or - happens next. going to the front - page of the independent. or striking image there and they're reflecting on 20 years as they describe it of violence on the dark and certain future facing afghanistan. i want to pick up on something that olivia mentioned and thatis something that olivia mentioned and that is they've come back refreshed, they are little bit more savvy, but what are your thoughts on the new
