no consolation for the friends and family involved. of course, if you look at this as quick, has similar characteristics to a devastating trauma that occurred 11 years ago. fortunately, the time it didn't happen near the capital, most populated city puerto prince, as it did in 2010. however, we still see its effect and his use of damage to infrastructure for an early warning system to work. units detecting from us should be near the, at the center of the population should live farther away, giving them valuable seconds to react. but in places like haiti and california quakes occur in well populated places, that isn't an effective warning system which would give people time to prepare a robot. so breaking news story this sunday and out into national. the taliban surrounded the africa and capital cobble grew claims. it is old, his fight is not to enter the city, and lave reportedly arrived at the presidential palace. this is a new line and for negotiations with the government on

a peaceful hand over the africa, presidents also reportedly and talks with us in nature. this now means the militants effectively control every major city in the country following a rapid and decisive offensive ill. so no report and control every board post across the country. red lines in earlier on though that some of the government army were begging for mercy. if you like from the taliban, the taliban saying they won't forgotten the quote to quite got the quote, but let me pray. see if they won't carry revenge. they will not be vengeful. this saying here, whether the people that have fled to kabul to get away from them are going to believe that remains to be seen. of course, we're the only way out of afghanistan is through the heavily defended airport and cobble see and lines in that may be no surprise to hear of course, that flights a book there are no more flights today. calling pray, my colleague is coming off to me following, because just researching this, he's telling me a terrible airport is still open. and so i was questioning it whether it may not be

closed because the security situation where hearing the troops have been sent, the british and american troops to fortify that airport, make sure it's safe. i'm hearing this near india flight. that's been circling for a while. maybe over security concerns, colon telling me that american flights have been coming in and out of course, america telling it citizens that they had to take commercial flights, the nearest foster's commercial flight out of there, as soon as they could. and if they couldn't afford it, american telling the citizens that they would give them short term loans to do it. because it's not within everyone's means to sort out the visas, or the visa assistance was also being offered as well. tell me in the gallery the live or latest pictures missing of cobble. no later pictures, it will you just thing is she knew the and this is the us diplomatic district, those guys that you're seeing help and get their people or the americans from the

but russia interestingly saying they have no such plans to do a similar thing. line coming in your own, russia does not intend to evacuate its embassy stuff in cobble that was according to the russian envoy to afghan this time. that's the latest as it stands. but of course, also these stories coming in from haiti, big earthquake, the level of fuel tank has gone up pakistan lives and explosion in karachi. i've got so much to tell you, i hope you can stick around me doing a full hour ahead. this is art international, live for moscow with me, kevin. oh, it's the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we

should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs. i mean with the artificial intelligence we have so many with demon a robot must protect its own existence with the ah

ah hello there, good afternoon. it's $1235.00 on the button. this is art international. kevin. oh and he had taken you through a major story this sunday. the news is the taliban surrounded the africa capital terrible. there in negotiations at the moment, over the peaceful hand over those it goes stations reportedly underway with the government. it comes shortly after the us special envoy was going to start asked liz missed asked. these limits not to enter that city. and it seems they have taken heed of that advice. the so this builds on the rapid gains by the taliban thread, the weeks that we've been charting here that you've seen. if you've been watching this early this morning, the group captured the eastern city of july la bad. on friday they took off chemist

on 2nd largest city kandaher islamists, militant groups saying it sees hundreds of weapons and vehicles as well as large amounts of admission in the city. of course that will help them in the quest to move forward. meantime, the u. s. has started evacuating embassy stuff from the country as far as i can tell, these are the latest pictures or life pictures. please tell me gallery latest or live. ok, there's a lot of pictures now coming in from kabul, but is it around about the us diplomatic quarter? that we saw the slightly earlier pictures before the of the, she nukes, they were saying that all morning american shop was coming in landing and taking off from the consulate. 5000 troops had been sent there to safeguard those us diplomats and their affiliates. apparently they were directed to destroy sensitive documents and computers before they left. so the taliban reportedly controls every board of post across the country in any way to get out of

afghanistan is through the heavily defended cobble airport telling you literally been keeping an eye on that wondering if flights were going to be suspended at the moment. commercial flights call him bray. next time could come on keeping an eye on that for us. telling me at the moment and emory send air india flight is both circling at the moment, trying to get a handle may be on the security situation there. and whether it's safe to come in, go out. we heard a u. s. plane, he's telling me, don't know, the carrier has just landed. another one has just taken often, that's a military plane using the pool. they are a commercial plan, but of course the u. s. and people yesterday and the last few days that they need to get out and they need to get a quick if they couldn't afford it. they would give them a short term loan and they were telling them they were as far as i could tell, no official american military or official planes coming in. they told him to use commercial at transport to get out any of the commercial flights. but as we've been

here and know they are all full today. if they're going to leave it all remains to be seen. given the news that the taliban is now in, circling, cobble their price, what they wanted, they say there will be no recrimination. they say the reason they're doing this is that they want to hold back on the negotiating right now with us rough connie and others chef on the of course of janice times president. his fate remains to be seen . of course, his political fate and personal fate. a lot of people, of course, looking on, hoping that he'll be treated well and treated safely over the coming hours. we're going to continue to roll with this and get as much comment as we can obviously conditions a tricky cobble at the moment. but i spoke to sharp, not jeff is that he's a local journalist there, and this is what he told me couple was because the problem was the problem is that a lot of response people, if you have to touch on

a call both widows, because supplement, lots of could be happening. lots of people could be killed. one day, a lot of houses or government the government would be born would be alluded. that's why the local government and political party. i'm the information you go to the puzzle. read important to try to prevent from entering off your telephone, go to cobble because of the report to keep the lots of people living here. we don't want to destroy the college if you would 5 think that's what college to be found. although the government reported because my mother to go to the military officer, people earlier, fled to the capital, desperately seeking shelter up to fleeing from the taliban. events from other parts of the country get to watch their fake and to be now the taliban said they will be no recriminations. but these people for their part and the taliban of co saying

that their presence is welcomed. generally in afghanistan, which is why they haven't met much resistance along the way. well, people are fleeing from them as we've seen. they've tried to get to cobble, but what is their fate going to be now? the taliban saying they will not harm them but they anyway, we've heard of the last few days of faces, harsh living conditions and acute shortage know more and more of food and water. but my mom from all of my came from the northern jo john province. there was on going through to fighting and we could only save ourselves and fled to cobble and with lead from the heroic province due to have the fighting. many other families also fled and living in that conditions. if dissertation continuous like this in galveston, they want us to return. they should support us and give us weapons so we can defend our country as we have lost our family members during the case of the war. now as african women, we should get weapons and fight what

a change between today and back in july, when you as president joe biden said, it was highly unlikely the taliban would over on the country. i wonder what he's saying today. current situation shows those predictions were woefully an accurate colleague. bond take over that gas that now inevitable is non because you have the afghan troops have 300000 well equipped as well as crypt has any army in the world and an air force? again, something like 75000 taliban. it is not inevitable. just picture the timeframes really have a proper think about it. i was 12 when america sent its soldiers to again and stand for the taliban to be dealt with for 20 years for 2 decades. washington was splashing exorbitant amounts of cash on this grand attempt to give the troubled central asian country a failure. coalition servicemen were dying even more way more local lives were

lost. so what do we got now? 20 years versus what a couple or a few months in which the taliban research right did as a force, a step away from taking over the whole country pretty much use the mother myself and some people of the town car condos and babylon program came here to the park, we have also had to change that there is no food and no water in the family to very worried because they have no idea what you do. have been just place from telecom. the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house. i'm

terrified to them and trust me. but if you think all this is a huge surprise, which came out of nowhere. sorry, that's not really the case. right after the u. s. pull out announcement in april. the taliban instantly proved it's not just ready to bite. they want full control and they're practically at the doorstep of capital control now. but at this point, the government there won't be able to rely on a helping hand from washington. african leaders have to come together. we lost thousands at last death and injury. thousands of american personnel got to fight for themselves. uncle sam is pulling out,

but some of the troops have to stay or even be sent back to secure the likes of fleeing us. diplomats but watch out for the wording because according to washington, this is not an evacuation. this is not abandonment. this is not an evacuation. this is not the wholesale. busy withdrawl, what this is, is a reduction in the size of our civilian footprint. this is a draw down of civilian americans 46 years after one of the most humiliating episode in the history of us overseas operations. the falling of south vietnam and the capital saigon. joe biden already had to answer questions about the vietnam defeat. flashbacks, you see any parallels between this withdraw and what happened to vietnam with some people feeling when 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. this kind of confidence by the president has done little to convince those who have come up with lines that you can see right here. the journalists can smell a replay of saigon. the growing numbers of politicians turned critics of the gang to send for. bob can't help drawing the unfortunate parallels either the latest news of a 3rd, the drop down into the embassy and a hasty deployment of military forces seem like preparations for the fall of couple president biden's decisions have a hurtling toward and even was equal to the humiliating full of saigon in $975.00, who basically gave up on the african government not just now, but all the way back to the start of these talks. what president biden did was to

embrace it. he owns it, it was a huge foreign policy failure with general m, if occasions to show up 7 month into this administration. everything points to a complete collapse. anyway, the whole pull out may end up as an immense reputational issue for the biden administration. for the u. s as a whole, it's very likely to tarnish the entire 20 years of coalition presence. and again, it's dan, but take a moment to think of the price which the afghans are paying and are to pay. and the foreseeable future, the number of local displaced is set to reach 3500000 this year. war is war. the decimal will only keep on rising. the whole crisis puts neighboring countries in jeopardy. you just can't help asking the same question. what was all of it for these long and controversial, 20 years total failure? i think that there is any other way you can possibly measure. i mean,

the capacity when the soviet stuff that's going to sound and 900 can i meet the co soviet government did not collapsing in this way. in fact, it took some 2 years before any major cities fell to my job being was here is saying, major cities for the one off the other to have a taliban before we americans. i mean for the left which gives credit to compact things that shows how, how much less successful impact americans have been in building a stable government. and i've kind of, i'm going to focus on the say we didn't exactly do a good job there for clarity. the new americans have failed this thing that has got less to do with the daughter of miss under estimation of the taliban. shang, as it is to do with underestimation of the will to fight the government forces. i mean, simply put, 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.

as small news coming in on this big story. now, proff canister and russia saying an emergency you and security council meeting is planned imminently. don't have the date on my interesting line. i'm just looking at the lots of news feeds, coming in the collapse of, of chemist on his quote, the biggest single policy disasters since sue is says the chairman of the u. k. commons foreign affairs committee. interesting lot in the a, by the way, what we're talking about russia and what russia is going to do, of course, we being see russia saying that it has no plans at all to evacuate its embassy the in cobble. as i'm speaking to of course the negotiations continue there. between the taliban on the government, all sides. it would appear once as peaceful as possible, transfer of power the taliban holding back the surrounding. cobble this lunchtime. but holding back until they can get some working formula with us rough gone,

the and other officials as well. i was just looking at flight 24 as well. those only planes i can see at the moment at the airport they were talking about people leaving couple of identify the american planes. there's an air india plane from delhi to carnival, an a $320.00 that's put on hold for a while, disease are going anywhere at the moment on a do by to cobble plane, a 777, the big and again, that's been in a hold for a while i suppose we'll try to work out if it's safe to proceed into that airport. but at the moment, the only way out of carbo is via the airport. now as the us lead lines withdraws, africa, nationals who help foreign troops. now fear reprisals from the taliban. i was sing reports earlier on coming in that various government. army guys were saying that they were worried about the futures. net. almost pleading for mercy from the taliban. when one does her, that is going to go. but one group of afghans who desisted. u. k. forces rallied on

the streets a cobble just friday to morning protection from the british government. at the time we reported perhaps that cause had been heard. 600 british troops deployed that is safe called u. k. nationals as they evacuate from the capitol as well as supporting the relocation as it was put of former african stuff whether they can look after them. although again, remains to be seen. we spoke to one interpreter who worked for british on american forces. he asked remain anonymous, out of fear for his life. my family has listed to it's in the fall sometime my some be home was attacked twice. my father has been given warnings and threats many, many times my my dad 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 was, who is an interpreter, to come in trace the issue the cause of detail about recently one of the interpreter who used to be an interpreter for the american special forces was assassinated when he turned to the interpreters who have served for years and years and i've kind of tracing risk in 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 their cases. all i'm hearing from my colleagues is the big cases 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 re, to, to, to the you, to my brother, for support interpreter for the coalition forces my brothers still enough to understand the british government is making a false accusations and excuses to withhold. not only my brothers visa, but many of the interpreters who genuinely need the british governments help and are very high risk or strongly believed that the taliban will hug 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 off the recent events, the us warning that nearly 400000 civilians have had to leave their homes enough

ganna stand since the start of the year with a huge spike since may many who's saying fled to cover hoping for a safe haven there were just hearing some heart wrenching stories of those refugees as well. these are some, more of them have been displaced from telecom, a telephone call to my son because of the belongings from my house to them and the punch me in the mouth, causing my teeth to fall out. they demanded my son, and i told them that she's a teacher. she recently became a teacher and had not even received salary. had a cautious, broken, taken hostage as the fighting, went on for both 67 days, but couldn't go outside and we managed to escape. and now we can let you know where to go. those africa and seeking a sala may not be that will come in europe at the moment with a blog currently loggerheads of what to do with my groups and those fleeing violence. it brings us into focus sharp focus report from the week from paul asleep delving into what happened then to europe's open door policy. previously,

european union is less than what to do with african refugees speaking, assign them in the letter to the european commission. civil countries insisted they have the right to force to be deport 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 need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary, to afghan, a stan stopping return, send the wrong signal, and it's 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 pause 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. 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, tend to sit until 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. and has your opinions worried. they might be on the verge of a fish refugee crisis. those people who are here from a gun is and they are not my, there's a few use and tell him secret. 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? and as far as them, because you are in the country, are any conflict personnel to to their life. so i think then the western countries say, oh, we don't care if a wider, if you just go home or we do for them. i think this is a violation of humor, right. and we should do that kind of thing. the the

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. what you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end to 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 live with the consequences today the, the, the, the hi, matt kaiser, was more of my guy to finance all survive. all. this is a hedge fund. it's a device used by professional value eggs to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them. totally, the stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform. watch because we're an expected

a few questions or whatever they're watching r t international is kevin. oh, in here, that's breaking news in headlines this sunday. a lot of big stories around, but it's particularly afghanistan's interior minister pledging a peaceful transfer of power to a transitional government. the countries authorities reportedly entering for talks speak with taliban leadership. he comes in. the militant group surrounds carville during its fight is not to enter the capital is the very latest. it follows an intense week of rapid taliban, the set of advances as the militants sweat the country taking every major city here mister surgeon's pick out immediately after you. as president joe biden announced that american troops would be withdrawing back in april while asked.
