5:02 pm
kamel. the un chief is desperately urging all parties to refrain from hauling civilians. even a country that just tragically known generations of conflicts. afghanistan is in the throes of yet another k. u optic. and desperate chapter. an incredible treasure the for its long suffering people forgotten, he's done. he's spinning out of control. on friday, the taliban claim that had see that going to start the 2nd largest city canada. you can now see exclusive footage from there is a medicine group that it sees hundreds of weapons and vehicles as well as large amounts of ammunition during the operation. u. s. embassy and car. what is all americans to leave immediately going so far as to offer loans to those unable to afford plane tickets home and to use any available commercial carriers wellness map, you can see the situation right now. currently the taliban has taken control of strategically. crucial location is very near the capital. these limits wrapped up
5:03 pm
their offensive back in april. after the us president found out he was pulling out troops. at the time, the medicine group held less than a 5th of the country. now they control more than half. we spoke to people in the streets of cobble under 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're worried there is fighting everywhere in the provinces of fooling day by day. the government should do something the people are facing. the problem is well, let's go live now to local journalist out so was reporting to us from the capital cobble below. thanks for staying across the story for us. what's the atmosphere like now in the capital? what's the moods of the people that the government forces planning to defend the city? the people of this time specially the people of cobble are exceedingly disappointed
5:04 pm
and a lack of military strategy should have prevented. what is now a very demoralizing trend for the african soldiers and tired unity and even brigades and corps commanders are entering to the top one not putting up a fight and many people in the city of chicago. today that i spoke to told. busy me to widen their sons got killed when they were sent to the more corners of this country. and this was the end result. we also saw a massive taliban attack against the province of logo just outside of kabul, which happens to be the home province of president tiny. the provincial governor who put assistance was taken captive later on, appearing in the photo where the taliban shadow governor. so the taliban are now going ahead attacking these major provincial capitals one after the other is falling at the moment. busy that i'm talking to,
5:05 pm
it's midnight lavano started attacking the city of got to the capital of the province in south eastern afghanistan. this is the same city that few days ago. the american strikes low carried out within the provincial capital, trying to prevent the taliban from getting into it. these are the type of strikes. the americans would carry in 2001 in 2 when they are fighting against the taliban. and they'll pay that back then. does the government have the strength to defend couple? you mentioned those mass surrenders by very large military bodies of the african army is the will to defend the capital. well, 1st the government is dealing with a live course 1000. so if it's fighting force who have not only not put it a distance, but they basically ended their weapons to taliban and they've gone back to their homes and villages. secondly, the ample amounts of weapons and ammunition,
5:06 pm
including the latest technology available to taliban fighters on the grid units, which are taliban special forces means that this will not be easy, especially when we know that the taliban must spend months if not years, a privately offering people what i would call an insurance policy. what are the thought of i have secured a lot of these defections. they've gone through friends, family and tribe, and it appears to me now that they have done government. not only, you know, i had no idea about this, but it also didn't know that some of its own governors and highs. officials in positions were also taking such insurances, from the taliban. what's the mood like incredible right now? we thought about the massive accusations, the american troops, so the u. k. troops as well sent in to evacuate, the embassy staff. all people worried and what are the options for people who were
5:07 pm
actual support from taliban in cobble? when you hear the western embassy is to listen to the cobble is not safe for when you hear them deploying forces, saying that this is specifically to evacuate their own, you know, citizens. it does not instill confidence in the african government during the african peoples. i'm sure the presence of thought cobbler province in within the city is now an open secret because the taliban sleepers. so the number of attacks that they launched and targeted assassinations targeting government officials, pilots, judges mean that they have a presence. and what is a city like cargo? it's panic, it's chaos. even though the memories of the 1990 is a very fresh when i went to a very dark period, i must also highlight another point that cobbler had no electricity for days.
5:08 pm
because this fighting in the province of babylon imported electricity towers from us based on war despite fuel prices. food commodities are not the same as they were like few weeks ago in terms of prices. these are the same, you know, problems that existed after the russians pulled out of one and the last communist government here, federal and you had the civil war in the country. so those fears are real red. busy and the people of white project lead don't have a hole in the future of this country that is crumbling for the time the local journalist, but also worry, thank you for that updates from the african capital cobble. meanwhile, an initial deployment of us forces has arrived in the country and the capital rather to protect evacuating embassy staff with most of the $3000.00 and total troops for the mission expected. in the coming days of this world of helicopters,
5:09 pm
the embassy observers are comparing the scenes the last chop are out of side on which of course, motley end of the vietnam war, senior republican lawmaker, mitch mcconnell says, it looks like america is getting ready for the fall of kabul, just a month ago, president joe boyd and had dismissed vietnam. powell, you see any parallels between this withdraw and what happened in vietnam with some people feeling. we know that the tale yvonne is not this out in 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 total failure. i think there's any other way you can possibly measure some by means of compassion when the soviet stuff that's going to sound in 1999, the pro soviet government did not collapsing in this way and practically took some 2 years before any major cities fell to my job being was here is saying,
5:10 pm
major cities pulling one off the other 2 to the taliban before we americans mean for the left, which gives, i think quite a good comparison and it shows how, how much less successful impact americans have been building a stable government and i've kind of stamina service one, the service didn't exactly do a good job. so therefore clearly the americans of failed dismally. i think that got less to do with the daughter of miss underestimation of the taliban shying as it is to do under estimation of the will to fight the government forces. i mean, simply put, the government forces collapse, show 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. british forces are also enjoying, but the country's defense secretary's already gravely warning that i've kind of on is on the brink of collapse court in the u. s. decision, a mistake and water. so tell me about
5:11 pm
a medicine. so clearly have momentum across the country and i'm going to saw his heading towards civil war predicting to that the battle scarred nation will again become a breeding ground for all kind of reform. neck from outside, the british defense ministry, his shot, it was dusty for options on the table. that is the latest from the case defense secretary friend wallace, as he tries to prevent an old out civil war in africa, nissan is the u. k. begins to retreat. troops out of the country now, ever since us taliban p. still, what we've seen is nature that we have all begun to retrieve what flashes this power political vaccine in the region, seeing the tale around totally taking control and tipping that balance of power. now not only will a 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 defense. secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is
5:12 pm
a huge mistake. now we were in this position where we thought about how clearly to manage across the country united states are leaving. that was 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 the taliban failed states around the world lead to instability lead to a security threat to off on our interest. we were very clear about that, that fly, that the west has to learn that you don't fix problems, you manage problems. prob wallace has also said that the united kingdom may act if asked on the stone, again, began to hobb a terrorism, particularly if it posed an international threat like it did arguably some 18 years ago. but many anti war activists argue that the foreign policy has never been to humanitarian mission, nor was it about democracy and only ever saw the land become the place of conflicts and battle ground giving rise to the taliban. and what we see now is the tale
5:13 pm
around all accelerating the dominant. many areas are now falling to the tale bottom as a particular ring around kabul. at this point, many people question and all of you, whether or not the type i will go directly to try and seize kabul and according to the united nations, the gun war has now entered his war, dead on 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. 's, some of which have even served in the connie occupation over the last 20 years. them incredibly angry and all 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?
5:14 pm
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 pretty desperate time for the united kingdom is actually sending in around $600.00 troops to try and get british nationals out. c, l, a short term basis rescue mission if you like. but for those in afghanistan, both citizens simply call and guess how this is incredibly, a tragic and scary time for all of them as a taliban, relentless the take over, but ultimately for nato allies in britain and america, the last 20 years ending up like this is incredibly humiliating because they tried to rebuild that unsafe allies the region. and now it seems as though with the telephone takeover the country could be worse off than as well as the us let it lines withdraws. i'm going to nationals or help the foreign troops. now if you're reprisal from the taliban, a group of guns sued, assisted u. k. forces rotted on the streets of kabul. the morning protection from the
5:15 pm
british government. 600 british troops are being deployed to protect you can nationals as they evacuated, wanted to support the relocation of former staff. we spoke to a former, i've run interpreter who worked for british american forces. he's asked 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 no one but 2 of her sons against the italian. recently, one of the interpreter, his father was caught in a province. he was beaten very badly. and he was asked to ask his son, who, who is an interpreter, to come in, trace the it should be
5:16 pm
a cause of detail upon 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 enough chemist on tracing risk and benches. however, 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 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 told me that they can read it to the you, to my brother,
5:17 pm
for support interpreter for the coalition forces. my brothers still enough to understand the british government is making a false accusations and excuse uses to withhold. not only my brothers visa, but many interpreters who genuinely need the british governments 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 force as a conflict escalates the un was that nearly 400000 civilians have already fled the homes this year with a particular spike since may many heading to couples who flee the taliban, but living and extremely precarious conditions. here are just some of the heart wrenching stories from refugees. i have been displaced from telecon city. the
5:18 pm
taliban killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house and set fire to them and transfer 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 displeased while displaced guys who seek asylum may not be welcome in the you either with the block currently at loggerheads or what to do with refugees and those fleeing violence. next thought his fullest li adele into what happened to russell's open door policy. european union is less what to do with african refugees speaking assign them. in the letter to the european commission, civil countries insisted they have the right to forcibly deport those whose cases
5:19 pm
have been rejected. they vote that not to deport them, would motivate more refugees, to flee to europe. we would like to highlight the urgent 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 by the all when it comes to the us and nato prepaid to what's called a troops at the end of the month. after decades long war, the situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and france have decided to pour the deportation. at least for now, the situation in afghanistan is likely to change and events for the coming period are so uncertain that i have decided to introduce a more atoria on deputation decisions and departures. agrees, or stress belgian and denmark standing firm. they want the rejected,
5:20 pm
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 on asylum seekers. they're the 2nd largest group off the 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 was done is time. they are not my dear and a few gees and asylum seeker. and that is why it is very important to remember at all best in countries have signed humor a convention refugee convention. and they are duty bound to has anyone, not only of guns, but syrians are anybody who come to the, to their country?
5:21 pm
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 have, oh, we don't care if i wonder if you just go home or do for them. i think this is a violation of humor, right. and we should do that kind of thing. the criminal has explained its refusal to extend the accreditation of the bbc's veteran moscow correspondent, the symmetrical response, the bridge and discrimination of russian reporters, the cable car that announced the decision to expel serene foot, who's been in job for over the past 7 years. or he goes on, shed light on the control was the century the russian foreign ministry has refused to renew the work resolved. well sir rainsford, a correspondent with
5:22 pm
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 that put downs target. and the russian correspondence in the u. k. were published statements on a regular basis or for 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 just and doesn't feel it's right than russia and moscow reserve the right to respond accordingly to basically mirror reactions
5:23 pm
and do something very, very similar. so this is what the russian foreign ministry is saying happening with . well, sarah range forward. according to the russian foreign ministry, several russian journalists back in 2019 failed to get work visas in the u. k. but 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. the also call this, they've also urged the russian foreign ministry to reconsider their decision. and
5:24 pm
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 and explosions ripped through a public boss in the western russia situ, veronica killing. 2 women, and injuring 20 other people. and i witness who rushed to help. survivors told us what he saw, one like a minimum of a minutes after the blast. i had children scream, people please help me. 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. at that moment the guy came to help me. first we got
5:25 pm
the girl out. i'm sure her ribs broken, given how tightly she had been stuck. we made several attempts to stand her up with was she couldn't and started falling after her. i'll go 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 quality parts scattered around, but you don't focus on that as you battle to save human lives. a human life is the most precious thing on us. i didn't analyze anything at the moment of rushing the 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, i'm sort of used to it. my health went on right now, but it's actually my. the following report begins with a st camera, video of the actual blas and does contain some distressing images. and you can see
5:26 pm
his split seconds before the incident, then debris flying to all sides for a while fire. at the time it's believe the bus had around $35.00 passengers on board, some of them still able to move, managed to flee the scene. further disturbing images of the explosion show an injured person long on the ground among the debris. russian authorities have opened a criminal pro but looking into a number of possible explanations with no rush and singled out so far off he's done . a court has been following the tragic events off them off. 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, they are overnight in 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
5:27 pm
fuel or a gas cylinder had exploded on board. there were other people that were saying that the driver per potentially was being met negligence 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 one on nails, things usually used. an explosive devices were not found. those injured but mostly hand by 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. and the explosion was certainly a tragic thing to see. as the driver explained, after the fact was, diana thought we were still people were getting on the bus traffic light tone red people go on from the cross walk. i started driving off then the last happened,
5:28 pm
broken glass smoke. i couldn't understand what happened at people helped to evacuate, so that there are people who are seriously injured. shortly after this tragedy took place, the regions governor called for a full inspection of the entire region public transport vehicle. now that inspection has since concluded, and it came up with no new problems connected to any of the region, 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. then it's been a plus one. i had to go away just a few moments time, but when i back in half an hour with the latest headlines, join us again. me the the, the one
5:29 pm
of the worst ever mess shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017, a tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas. where many say elected officials are controlled by christina alone as the vegas shooting. revealed what the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stem machine to the american public barely remembers that it happens. that just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors. when the pandemic heard the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades, and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence, to be the control group, to the shiny facade, conceal of deep indifference to the people vice gonna say that they have to take an action. absolutely keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives
