ah, the the advancing boy that our about makes rapid territorial games and i've got a song now report to be only 50 kilometers from the capitals. walking on my evacuation with the us led lights leaving the country. i've gotten nationals who risk their lives assisting, foreign military now violent retaliation from the sergeant. we speak to one, a former translator, he worked with a british and american army. he's offers identity to be concealed by his safety. that hope is probably the 1st for me, believes that you tell us what will happen down every are going interpreter who serve to partition american forces. it will be the african interpreters will create the brute force a powerful blas test through a passenger basil, a town of vote on a ship western russia leaving 2 dead on 20 injured because yet known,

we're here from when i witness who rushes to help survivors gimme a minute off to the last i heard children screamed people, please help me to rush to the bus and jumped in through the window which had already been shattered. ah, was going to have him here. moscow says joining us on our international. i'm daniel holton review tonight's welcome to the program. i'm going to stop us back. government is quickly losing control. following the withdrawal of pentagon troops that as a taliban make sweeping gains with militants now reported to be just 50 kilometers from the capital cobble. early on friday, the taliban claimed it had seized up kind of stones 2nd largest city of kandahar. you can now see exclusive footage from there in the midst minutes in groups that it

sees hundreds of weapons and vehicles as what a large amount of munitions during your peroration, the u. s. m, with him, homeowners and all americans to leave the country immediately. forest off alone, so those unable to afford plane tickets home and to use any available commercial carriers on this map, you can see the situation in the country right now. currently this lists have taken hold of strategically crucial locations very near the capital. it's about top, it's offensive. back in april that came off to the us president announced he was pulling out troops at the time the medicine group held less than a strength of the country. now they control more than half. we spoke to people on the streets of couple tons of the taliban rule here before and they didn't rule in the people's interest what people think that they will act the same. we will read. there is fighting everywhere in afghanistan. the province is fooling day by day. the government should do something, the people of a thing, lots of problems. meanwhile,

the initial deployment of us forces has arrived and coupled to projects, evacuating embassy stuff. with the most of the $3000.00 total mission for the, for the troops of the mission expected. in the coming days. out of this world of helicopters at the embassy observe as a comparing machine to the last chopper out of song on which marks the end of the vietnam war. female republican lake. mitch mcconnell says, it looks like america's getting ready for the fall of couple. but just a month ago, president joe barton had dismissed the vietnam power of you see any parallels between this withdraw and what happened to vietnam with some people feeling went on watching 0. the tele, yvonne is not this out, the north vietnamese army. they're not, they're not remotely comparable in terms of capability. there's going to be no circumstance for you to see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the of the united states from afghanistan. well, let's go live now to pull robinson, professor at the graduate school of public and international affairs at the

university of a tower. so thanks for joining us. so much good saudi on the program today. it wasn't so long ago, joe biden said the taliban wasn't even close to 19 seventies north vietnam in terms of capability and military power in the country. they now control most of the country and couple according to some estimates is on the verge, are falling. do you think this was a big, big underestimation by the us ministration of the power of the the moth group? well i think this committee being a big surprise in terms of the speed of a ton of grants, i don't think anyone expected them to move forward quite so rapidly into sees major cities kandahar with with such fees. but i think that has got less to do with the a miss some of the georgia that of miss under estimation of the taliban. shang, as it is to do with underestimation of the will to fight from the government forces . i mean, simply put, for government forces collapse, very little will to, to,

to fight. and so it's really a moral problem when the government forces more than the strength of the taliban. what would your assessment be of the 20 years that the united states has been in the country? how would you guess rate the success of their initial aims and the mission in the country? total failure, i think up there is any other way you can possibly measure them by means of compassion when the soviets, that's going to sound and 9 change and i need the pro civic government did not collapse in this way. in fact, it took some 2 years before any major cities. how to measure her being was here is saying, major cities pulling one off the other 2. so the taliban before the americans mean . so the left, which gives, i think like a comparison that shows how, how much less successful. in fact, americans have been in building a stable government and i've kind of family service one. the say we didn't do

a good job. so therefore, clearly the americans failed dismally. the head of night says back, i'm going to start as much as possible. what do you think that means in the context of the american troop withdrawal? surely if there's no boots on the ground, if, if there's no military backup, that there's not much that can be done. i don't think there is, can be done. it's gone probably on math and we're in a situation where taliban shoots are closing in on couple. they captured half of the countries provincial capitals and i had that nickel sign of a little tight on the african side. and in that context, i didn't really get to see what they can do, the users and the government to make peace with the taliban. and the un asks us out about also it's a whole, it's offensive, realistically, though, are either of those things going to happen with a ton of and clearly has the upper hand here. they've got the, the,

the control on the ground. there's no reason for them to to go for the think ocean . no, no, no one stops, went around the verge of victory. so i think that any hope of such a thing happening would be dependent upon the government forces managing to help the advance which, which is not impossible. of course. i mean, that's kind of come up against the couple they may find that it's too too big that crack but remains to be seen. and the pentagon is also place what they describe as a forceful response if attacks. and i've got to start if it poses a threat to the western. well, something the u. k. officials have said as well, do you think nathan pulls his western forces? couldn't we to prove to the country despite the clear will on the clear lack of will rather of the public to see that happening. i think it was very hard to betray nato countries to put themselves back in afghanistan,

given the total failure of the past mission. they would have to be some very, very, very strong reason to do so. and simply the before the government, i don't think is strong enough for robinson athena by steel. that's all. thanks so much for joining us in the program. good savvy with us now, british forces are also withdrawing, but the country's defense secretary's already gravely warning. but i've got to start on the brink of collapse calling the us decision, a mistake. and wall that says kind of a militant, clearly have momentum across the country and i've got to thought is heading towards civil war predicting to the bottles. god nation will again become a breeding ground for al qaeda. reporting that from outside the british ministry have shot it. it was dusty. well, all options on the table is the latest from the u. k. is defense secretary, friend, wallace, is he twice prevention all out? civil war enough on the stone is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the

country. now, ever since us taliban peace still. what we've seen is nature that we have all begun to retrieve what flashes this power political vacuum in the region, seeing the taliban totally taking control and tipping that balance of power. now not only will poverty, of course increase on political destabilization, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise. and that's why you case. defendant secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. now we're in this position where we have plenty to manage across the country. the united states are leaving that with an honest yesterday we are leaving alongside them. and that leaves a, as you say, a very, very big problem on the ground developing with a ton of failed states around the world lead to instability lead to a security threat to off and our interest. we are very clear about that. that's why the west has to learn. you don't state problems,

you manage problems. pro button wallace has also said that the united kingdom may act if ask on a stone again began to hobb a terrorism, particularly if it pose an international threat like it did arguably some 18 years ago. but many anti war activists argue that the foreign policy has never been about to humanitarian mission, nor was it about democracy and only ever saw the land become the place of conflict in battle, ground giving rise to the taliban. and what we see now is the tale about all accelerating that dominant many areas are now falling to the tale bomb as a particular ring around kabul. at this point, many people question and all you, whether or not the type i will go directly to try and seize kabul, and according to the united nations, they are gone. war has now entered his more deadly destructive phase with casualties. climbing over one and a half a 1000 in the past 4 weeks alone. and all of this really has cause

a lot of anger. here in britain, even with many m. p, some of which have even served in the connie occupation over the last 20 years. that incredibly angry and ology that pulling out is a complete mistake and a huge failure. the operation broke was worse. it took families apart, left children orphans and parents to cry alone. the decision to withdraw is like a rug pulled from under the feet of our partners. that's why i'm angry. it's wasteful and unnecessary. and why is it personal? because i've seen what it costs and what sacrifices are being thrown away. and i know who's going to pay for it. we will what it's actually a pretty desperate time for the united kingdom is actually sending in around $600.00 troops to try and get british nationals out. see out a short term basis rescue mission if you like. but for those in afghanistan, both systems simply call and guess how this is incredibly, a tragic and scary time for all of them as

a taliban relentlessly takes over. but ultimately for nato allies, britain and america, the last 20 years ending up like this is incredibly humiliating. because they try to rebuild that unsafe allies the region. and now it seems as though with the telephone takeover the country could be worse off than us. and as the us lead alliance withdraws, i've got national to help the foreign troops. now, if you a reprisal from a ton about a group of guns who assisted u. k. forces routed on the streets of couple the morning protection from the british government. 600 british troops are being deployed to protect the u. k. nationals as they evacuated. want to support the relocation of former guns. stuff was put to for and i've got a interpreter. i worked for british and american forces. he's all to remain anonymous out of fear for his life. my family has listed to it's in the fall sometime my sam be home was attacked twice. my father has been given

warnings and threats many, many times my. my dad's name was called that his life will be severely at risk because she offered not one but 2 of her son's guest. the italian was recently one of the interpreter. his father was caught in buck pia, a province. he was beaten very badly and he was asked to ask his son, who was, who is an interpreter, to come in trace the issue because of detail of recently, one of the interpreter who used to be an interpreter for the american special forces was assassinated by the time of the interpreters who have served for years and years or stems and i've got a son pressing risk in benches. however, do you could government instead of serving deadlines, bringing them to live in peace and safety with their kids?

or they are making excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject their cases. all i'm hearing from my colleagues is the big cases have been rejected, rejected. there was a number of cases which were told that they were good to go. there were even given in there was sent an email confirming that when they were ready for the flights, they are told that they cannot read to k to the u. k. r. and my brother book of sward interpreter for the coalition forces. my brothers still enough to understand the british government is making false accusations and excuses to withhold. not only my brother's visa, but many interpreters who genuinely need the british government's help and

are very high risk or strongly believe that the taliban will hot down every are going to interpreter who is. so if the partition american forces, it will be the african interpreters or who paid the ultimate course. as a conflict sharpens, the un warns nearly $400000.00 civilians already fled their homes this year with a particular spike. since may many heading to couples for the taliban, but a living. and she, when he precarious conditions. here are just some of the heart wrenching stories from refugees. i have been just placed from telecom. the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house and set fire to demonstrate the punch me in the mouth, causing my teeth to fall out. they demanded my son and i told them that he's a school teacher. she recently became a teacher and had not even received his salary yet, had a class has broke out and we were taken hostage in the fighting, went on for about 6 or 7 days, and we couldn't go outside to do anything we managed to escape. and now we are

displaced all the sliced guns, who seek asylum may not be welcoming you either with the block currently at loggerheads. what to do with refugees? fleeing violence next while to pull asleep delves into what happened to brussels open door policy. european union is less what to do with african refugees seeking, assign them. in the letter to the european commission, civil countries insisted they have the right to forcibly support those whose cases have been rejected. they vote not to deport them, would motivate war refugees? to flee to europe. we would like to highlight the edge of need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary to ghana. stan stopping return sends the wrong signal and is likely to motivate even more afghan citizen to leave the home for the e. u. the situation in afghanistan is deterioration, bobby, all, when it comes to the us and nato prepaid, what's called a proof that the end of the month after decades,

long war situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and france have decided to port the deportation to be for now, the situation in afghanistan is likely to change and events for the coming period or so uncertain that i have decided to introduce a more atoria on deputation decisions and departures. agrees, or stress belgium and denmark standing firm. they want the rejected, assign them because the e u is not really and does not have the capacity to kind of another major migration crisis. why your guns are waiting, make up around 10 percent of asylum seekers. they're the 2nd largest group after syrians and for a continent still scarred by the migration crisis of 56 years ago. there was a feeling of a who, a feeling of having been they before, that has your opinions worried. they might be on the verge of

a fish refugee crisis. those people who are here from a gun is done, they're not my, they're in a few gees and asylum seeker. and that is why it is very important to remember at all best in countries have signed humor right? convention, a few convention. and they are duty bound to has anyone, not only of guns, but syrians, are anybody who come to the, to their country, and as far as them, because you are in the country, are any conflict personnel tech to, to their life. so i think then the western countries say, oh, we don't care if a one or if you just go home or do for them. i think this is a violation of human rights. and we should do that kind of thing. this morning to

be with these images may be disturbing. tragedy is struck in the rush, western russia city over on us as a public pos exploded, killing 2 people and injuring 20 others. we take a closer look at the break. ah hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask in

the problem of the dead sailing is that it forces them to admit what that number is like am 3 or am to which are the money supply numbers once the numbers got so scary, they stopped reporting them similarly with the debt ceiling kabuki theater, that happens every couple of years. they're just going to get rid of it. no one even announced that number. it'll be impossible to find what the american is. and i'll just say a number sign for infinity. ah, we'll come back and explosions ripped through a public bus in the western russian city varnish, killing 2 women and injuring 20 other people. witness who rushed to help survive has told us what he saw. one slot a minute, a minutes after the blast. i heard children scream, people please for help. i immediately rushed to the bus and jumped in through the

window which had already been shattered. once inside a thorn 11 or 12 year old girl, she was stuck between 2 seats. that moments ago i came to help me 1st we got the girl out. i'm sure her ribs were broken given how tightly she had been stuck. we made several attempts to stand her up. was she couldn't and started falling after her. back on the bus, there was a woman in a green dress. her legs were severely hurt, her legs had been blown off to above the knees. we took her out and puts her on the ground. it was appalling. inside. you could see legs, body parts scattered around, but you don't focus on that as you battled to save human lives. a human life is the most precious thing on earth. i didn't analyze anything at the moment of rushing to help. i acted instinctively. what self can you do when you hear children screaming, moaning my heart told me to do that. i understand this would shock, ordinary people,

they'd seek to avoid such things. i've been to war on sort of used to it. i helped, i went hung morning. the following report begins with a street camera video of the actual blas and contains some rather distressing images. a split 2nd before the incident, and then devry flying out from all sides. that was followed by a fire. at the time it's believe the bus at around $35.00 passengers on board. some of those, the blast hit was still able to stand and quickly fled the scene. further disturbing images of the explosion show and injured pass it along on the ground among the debris. rush authorities of open the criminal pro, but looking into a number of possible explanations with no rush and singled out. so far, dental court has been following the tragic events off tomorrow. as you can see behind me, whatever was left of the blast has already been cleaned up, traffic is already moving normally on the street again. you can also see behind me a bench where there are some flowers, this is the bus station right next to where the explosion take took place. people

put flowers there overnight and memory of those who died in this tragic event. now, as for what caused this explosion, the investigative committee is looking at several different theory. so the main version it's looking at is that either the diesel boss was filled with the wrong fuel or a gas cylinder had exploded on board. there were other people that were saying that the driver per potentially was being negligent and that it was his fault. while the police have said that, an earlier theory that it was a terrorist attack has now been deemed unlikely. projectiles such as pieces of wire or nails. things usually used and explosive devices were not found. those injured were mostly hon. bye fragments of flying glass. however, the chance that it could be an explosive device can still not be ruled out. right before the bus exploded. it was fully filled all with a total of $35.00 people on board. and 2 people were killed, one of which was a woman who brutally had her legs blown off in the explosion. it was certainly

a tragic thing to see as the driver explained after the fact miss diane, in the summer we were still people were getting on the bus, the traffic light turned red. people got on from the cross walk. i started driving off, then the blast happened. broken glass smoke, i couldn't understand what happened. people helped evacuated so that there were people who were seriously injured. shortly after this tragedy took place, the regions governor called for a full inspection of the entire regions, public transport vehicle. now that inspection has since concluded, and it came up with no new problems connected to any of the regions, the transport vehicle. but again, like i said, this investigation is continuing, its continuing to try to find out what exactly cause this explosion. and we'll bring our viewers the latest details as they become available. british state broadcast, the b b. c has been out thrushes decision to expel a veteran journalist. most respondents ringsford or he's been working in that capacity for the past 7 years. as it was really been told for accreditation won't

be extended when it expires this month. or the easy was done of shows lights on the control busy country. the russian foreign ministry has refused to renew the work. these as well. several reigns for a correspondent with b, b, c, him in russia and she will apparently have to leave the country by the end of this month already. but according to the spokeswoman of the russian foreign ministry marie as a honda, they took this step in response to the actions of the you case for an office, have a listen. the anglo saxon media group dismissed multiple warnings by the russian foreign ministry, that relevant measures would be taken in response to london's fees are put downs target and the russian correspondent in the u. k. republish statements on a regular basis offer in the british side to stop prosecute in russia, journalists. so here's the thing, the so called tenants of reciprocity has long been a cornerstone of russian diplomacy. in fact, for the past several years in playing terms,

it means that if any country in the world takes hostile steps against russia, something that russia doesn't feel is justin doesn't feel it's right than russia and moscow reserves the right to respond accordingly to basically mirror reactions and do something very, very similar. so this is what the russian foreign ministry is saying happening with well, sarah rains forward. according to the russian foreign ministry, several russian journalists back in 2019 failed to get work visas in the u. k. one of them, for example, didn't, i didn't have the visa renewed and another one simply didn't get one at all. and so for the past several years since 2019 the russian foreign ministry, russian diplomats have been pointing at these situations to the u. k. authorities saying that this wasn't right, but that all, all of that i should say fell on deaf ears. and so russia has decided to take this step. at least this is the position of the russian foreign ministry. and of course,

the b, b. c is quite better, they've called this step and attack on the freedom of press. they've also call this . they've also urged the russian foreign ministry to reconsider the decision. and also the pledge to, to well reporting on russia's affairs impartially. but when russian journalists weren't allowed to work on the u. k. soil, that was all fine. it was fine for years. it wasn't an attack on the freedom of press. but when the b, b, c, probably the face of the u. k. journalism all over the world gets stung and gets well the same treatment gets the same dose of the same medicine that's different. so if you go and visually is coming away in just a few moments, i'm the team and i are back in half an hour. join us again for that i just had, let me ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

the in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is in the world to corrupted? you need to defend the so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows, ah, in the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. while you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end essentially destroy

personality of an individual lifetime. means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how the victim say they still with the consequences today. the i

welcome to so because vision or me, sophie shepherd knocked the corona crashing, says highlighted to me to rethink the way our society is function to reflect on based on joined by one of the world's most influential thinkers. legendary philosopher flow is the legendary philosopher author of condemning colleague 19 shakes the world i've been wanting to talk to for the longest time. welcome to our program. i to be here and i know it to be met if you want to match this up. let's start from this i remember during last year's famous debate with georgian patterson, you said that he managed to continue to slide toward some kind of apocalypse until some major catastrophe awakens us.
