very badly, and he was asked to ask his son, who is an interpreter, to come and change the cause of the taliban in the past year. and so a number of interpreters has been appealed or targeted by the taliban. recently, one of the interpreter who used to be an interpreter for the american special forces was assassinated by the telephone. of course they will be coming off to them . they'll be coming off to their families and those interpreters. so there will be, but sure there will be different americans have gone away versus going away. everybody is running away. who are they leaving behind the interpreters who have so for years and years old enough kinda some tracing risk and benches. however, the you can government instead of saving the lives, bringing them here to live in peace and safety with their kid. they are making

excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject the case. that's all i'm hearing from my colleagues is that their cases have been rejected, rejected. there was a number of cases which were told that they were good to go. there were even given there was sent an email confirming that when they were ready for their flights, they are told now that they can really take to the u. k. i and my brother, both of us would interpreter for the coalition forces. my brother is still enough kind of the british government is making swells accumulations and excuses to withhold. not only my brothers, but many of the interpreters who genuinely need the british governments help and are very high risk. it's frustrating for the people who have served the british forces and currently are a priest. and i think it's a huge is

a moral and moral together and to, to protect those who have worked alongside them enough canister. i strongly believe that the telephone will hot down every are going to interpreter who is so if the british and american forces it will be the african interpreters who will pay the intimate price of trepidation and uncertainty for the interpreters. now we got to analysis also earlier from a former senior british police officer and reservist army officer who had worked enough kind of standards. the security advisor kevin hurley told us that it was clear that this situation was coming is 11 problem with the group government employees. they are that will not all wary all telling truth to power. and of course, because the politicians had no real plan and the phone got blocked about a number of generals might contain the mentor of we are doing this. they wouldn't listen to the majors left and the colonels can become armed as on the ground or

blue collar worker. braces by slightly higher. what do i know? i may appealing to thousands of police, but i know nothing about subsequently things the west. but the rest of the world were not prepared to deal with the issues of trying to impose a corrupt government on a country where many of the people did not support the government and then more in culture and not understanding the subtleties of the tribes that guns don, yes, you can bomb and you can fix taliban leadership or the insurgency or i s k. but you will not stop the night. so i'm coming back into the villages and towns that say, hey, it's just turn 7 30 in the evening. on sunday here in moscow, it's just her 9 pm and africana stem nights has fallen on a day of immense change. power has shifted. the president has gone on the taliban

slowly, but surely taking control of the capitol after easily taking control of the rest of the country. in recent days it's been largely bloodless, but there is still fear uncertainty on the streets of car. but we have to get an update on that for you in the coming minutes and talk you through the key changes of what the oh i use. i me

ah ah, i use kaiser's financial viable guy. i don't buy a, i buy futures. that's not an almost friday. that's the last time i buy it from the future. so watch guys replace me the in the

welcome back. this is archie international and rolling a full news hour of what's been happening and i've gone to stan as the taliban advances. it's now entered the presidential palace in the capital cobble after president, ash rough gone, he fled the country earlier. meanwhile, there are still conflicting reports on whether god has actually quit or not, but it really is only a matter of time. i guess. here's what's happening on the streets of the capital as we've been showing you in the past few hours, gridlock and traffic jams as people try to flee the city and abandoning that home. some abandoning that cause in the middle of the road with huge traffic jams reported all this now means that the militants effectively control every major city, province and region in the country. following what's been a rapid and decisive of offensive that will so control every boulder post across afghanistan and encircled the city of cobble several hours ago. the only way in and out of the nation is through the heavily defended airport in cobble,

but traffic. there has been extremely limited. i've been monitoring the traffic in and out and it's just been a couple of unmarked child or american aircraft one or 2 international carriers, but pretty much nothing. in recent hours. the u. s. mission in the country says that the taliban is also taken the background base, that major facility that was hastily abandoned by the pentagon. last month without warning. thousands of taliban fighters in islamic state terrorists were held in a prison that we're keeping her across all developments as they come in to us here at archie, international and getting reaction to both locally in the region and from abroad to . meanwhile, this is new in rallies have taken place in neighboring iran over the taliban take over the demonstrators into her on demanding an end to violence against afghan citizens. hasn't be much of that reported, but much of it's been feared. the protest is also accused pakistan,

backing the islamist group and hold for sanctions against islam a bad. so just an indication of the regional instability that these changes. a cool thing that we also discussed the rapidly unfolding situation in afghanistan with regional analysts to talk about how it's deteriorated so quickly. hello miss. save it. the day the american signed the agreement with the taliban and then they began to execute it without fulfilling. getting assurances from the taliban side, you know, they started the withdrawn this in itself involved in the taliban. and the fact that they started taking one district over the other. this was not really surprising. i think this was bound to happen until they cleared the americans have given an open house to live on. and i think this is somewhat of an agreement. this was found to happen. and the fact that they haven't really opposed the side of my take over the day, in fact, be solid months stopped or hold attacks against american forces. what little and

left of them this region has been destroyed by the united states, and be 19 made 970 is the 1980 is the united states created the taller bond along with the saudis, and their european allies. they were brutal. they constantly bombed ordinary people, 90 percent of the casualties from drawn strikes, according to some numbers for all civilians. over the last 2 years, the hatred towards the united states increased as time went by. and now the americans have been humiliated. i think the human nation is greater than vietnam because in vietnam, rival powers, we're funding north vietnam and b at time. but enough fun is fine. and you just see a few groups with on motorcycles, with clashing costs and weapons. and they've humans humiliated a superpower that has spends trillions of dollars in the country and,

and wasted so many so much money of the assets of the american people for this imperial war that nothing else. so with the taliban pretty much just easily walking through an open door in cobble other nations, have been closing their embassies in the capital and evacuating that diplomatic stuff. britons among the countries pulling out some diplomatic workers, denmark and norway temporarily shutting down that shad compound. as we reported earlier, germany is closing its facility as well as is sweet and citing the deteriorating situation our by our that's also there was the taliban says that it won't stop florida's from leaving the country. russia says its mission is an under threat. it's got no plans to shut. meanwhile, moscow's foreign ministry adds that it will work with the transition government, which is a process. it's long advocated each other good in the situation in

the city is tend to now, but there is no fighting. as far as we know, the parties are currently negotiating. there is no threat to the embassy and no evacuation is required. a member of the russian federation councils were at that research and taliban gonna now try and spread its influence through former soviet countries. the reports of the taliban on negotiating with authorities and most likely on the surrender of the city and the transfer of power to the taliban. who's to blame the usa? they brought in troops 20 years ago, supposedly trained an army that's losing ground, that a fight under being abandoned. now, if they are trying to attract the world community, then let them call the un security council and let them decide how to stop what's happening. and i've got this done because bloodshed may begin, the security council may decide to enforce peace and may even use the troops of

other powers to restore peace enough gone to stan. let's compare that to the withdrawal of soviet troops back in 1989. that was an organized pull out. we left nancy buller there who defended. i've got to stand for the mitchie had deemed for years. the americans have not yet managed to leave the territory of afghanistan. and this army, which they supposedly prepared, has turned out to be completely demoralized. we can say for sure that it's unlikely that russia will enter, got us done. and even if there are some peacekeepers, it's unlikely that russia will be part of that. one of the most dangerous things though, is that if the taliban head to the north, where are allies tajikistan and cut a guest on our, we will have to do our duty and protect those states. a professor of strategic studies selma colleague told me earlier, the washington's broken its promises to afghanistan and abandoned it citizens when americans had not or the western capitals,

had not really engaged the elephant in the room. and they had kind of wished to do . we're for 20 years and now that element of back impact, you'll find some full time security forces inside of understand we're not good. they were still very green in their preparation and the americans knew it. the western fall was new it. but just because that there had been a lot of investment on the ground by the americans and american waters were demanding as to why. so many of the american troops were still pledged in our fathers found that the us had to make this a drawn plus the fact that they did not have anything now to offer to the fund leadership all to the a find people they had tried all types of experiments and those experiments had not worked here this time, they were the direct stakeholders. and yet despite the month of reintegration reconstruction, reforming upon society, politics, security forces,

nothing is really strong enough to started. got ground. ok, let's go live again now to journalists below. worry, been giving us some valuable insights over the past few days, but it's good to talk to you again. now. the u. s. embassy has reported the cobble upholds being shelled. is there anything you know about? laugh i don't know that, but cobble is on the high security alert. busy we are told that some is sites for carried and one part of cobbler province on the outskirts against the taliban. i have not been able to confirm that with those strikes or by the americans or they were by the african air force. but we certainly are getting in defense ministry official saying that everything will be orderly, that this transition will take place in a peaceful manner. the afghan forces are here as we continue to reassure data that in the last i was told by somebody that was seen walking on the streets of cobble

45 minutes ago. president harman carson, the former president, as treated that because of whiny and his officials, fled as a vacuum. they have created coordination. comes along with dr. up the line with the heck my data for mom, which i didn't, i'm wondering leader to make sure that there's no chaos. there's no pain inflicted on the african people is called the vote. busy on the top of on the government to make sure that they don't allow lawlessness and chaos in their own ranks. and the prevent fortune is from taking advantage of the situation. they're also. busy phone numbers to call on if there are. busy such issues, so we'll have to see what will end for tomorrow. what, what it's all about your presence in the palace. mean, how will the ceremony be, who will be attending, and who else would be leading that additional administration calls now that night fall and this has been the concern about what the level of perhaps,

and lawlessness or encroachment from those taliban fighters who said they would remain on the outskirts until the peace talks concluded, i don't know what the state of play is. maybe you can tell me a little bit later. given that the airport is pretty central to car ball and we have been seeing images of buildings with smoke coming through the windows and day pre on the floor. it's a question of clarity is needed. who is causing that problem? who is causing that unrest? who is behind any violence or looting on the streets? is there anything you can furnish us with information by? well, we have seen couple of examples of looting. i don't know who are behind the looting . but the taliban have insisted as well as the government that they're both committed to preventing that from happening. they're going to member cobble in the city for at least $6000000.00 people with hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested by the african private sector into the construction shopping malls, residential buildings, and other businesses. this is also a city full of goods and merchandise for the private sector for the business. so

there are a lot of fears. for example, one machines didn't have cash to the people who are lining up. there was chaos. the police had to fight into the disperse people or opening up a fraud because of county traffic jobs. and this is a very different countries, tuition the taliban company, on which they were defeated 20 years early on. so this will be a transition of many different challenges other than fighting or massive social changes in this country as well. and it is in close city and pretty densely populated one with the $6000000.00. as you said, do you expect that the taliban and the coming days as they stop to lay out what their plans are in the coming days and weeks to expect them to maybe have to in something like a curfew in order to keep older in the streets well, we'll have to see again what exactly tomorrow might bring, because the pace of events have proven as all wrong. you know,

we're surprised that it is safe to say that problem tonight going into sleep with a lot of uncertainty, at least some questions on both sides. so there's some respite but it will have to find out tomorrow morning again. i didn't think though though that have been to side, they've not been equally balanced sides have that because although we've had these piece talks taking place throughout much of sunday, it's been clear that the taliban hold all the cards and that's been a now former government really that's got nothing to bog with. so in terms of what happens next, who's speaking for the other side, and those people who maybe aren't keen on what's happening there, who's going to be that to protect them? well, we'll have to again see where is the interior ministry tomorrow, where the defense ministry, you know, because these are the faces of the african government now, but it does look like a lot of the mediation is taking place on behalf of how many cars i can take what

you out in the line, and so tomorrow, as i said, will be another day. but let's also see how we can try to put life worth, you know, this city where i am required electricity, the city requires services. people need certificates for managed people in the passport. people need health services. and what has happened today and yesterday and the data for life is paralyzed, life, life is jammed, you know, in the city. i, you said to us a couple of hours ago. of course it's a very different kind of stuff. now people are much more connected, especially some i like the capital. cobble has to be in anything in recent hours on tv, on radio, on blind, locally to inform people tell people what's happening all to call for calm or to advise people on how to get through the next 4872 hours. one is done, the largest tv station is operating many others on social media as active,

you know, but there's a lack of information from the government. no one knows who is the government now, because you can imagine when the president needs the country with his national security adviser or another officials, it will create a vacuum. it will create a pricing of leadership and you still don't have a transition that was supposed to be attended by am a how much extra money must be terrifyingly uncertain at the moment. for you, your family, your friends. how are they feeling? well, you know, my family myself were no different than millions of people in this city. this is my home. this is the city that has made me who i am. and we certainly hope like the rest of the ones that there's an end to this pain and agony in suffering. and that hopefully a lot of fun, you know, moves to a more peaceful period. and they were all hoping for that. but i, and as i said to you the other day with you,

and we really appreciate you being able to tell us what life is really like that. i think it's very important for anybody around the world to be able to understand what's really happening in the country right now, but i'll take care. thanks for talking to us again. well, is a bill i was mentioning that the things in afghanistan is taking the serious toll on the countries humanitarian situation. but of course, it's already heavily burdened by the corona virus pandemic. we heard from one charity worker about the pressure that the local population is increasingly under right now. as the conflict has escalated over the past few weeks, we've seen a massive humanitarian disaster playing out. the escalating fighting has led to civilian casualties and large scale civilian displacement across the country. and particularly in the past few weeks, we've seen tens of thousands of people fleeing the fighting to safety. here in cobble, this was also on top of an existing humanitarian disaster in which there was conflict

. the ongoing impacts of the 19 panoramic and a drought was announced earlier this year. so half the population, even before the latest escalation and fighting with a need monitoring assistance and those needs are even greater right now. do you want that? maybe 400000 civilians, civil ready fled homes this year with a particular spike. since may most of the displaced the reportedly women and children. now here are just some of the incredibly heart wrenching stories. the refugees have been telling us during the week. i have been displaced from telecom, the taliban 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. had a class has broke out and we were taken hostage in the fighting, went on for about $6.00 to $7.00 days that we couldn't go outside to do anything we

managed to escape. and now where displaced or course many asylum seekers might want to come to the european union, but they might not get that warm a welcome with the block. now all at loggerheads, so we're about to do with migrants and i was fleeing violence. next, paul asleep explores what happened to europe's open door policy. the european union is less what to do with african refugees teaching, assigned 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 that not to deport them, would motivate more refugees, to flee to europe. we would like to highlight the edge of need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary to afghan. a stan stopping return sends 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 truth, that 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 more atoria on deputation decisions and departures. grease or stress belgian 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 in time, they're not migrant. they're a few use 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? and as far as them, because you are who are in the country, are any conflict personnel tend to to their life? so i think then the western countries say, oh, we don't care if a wider, if you go home or we do for them. i think this is a violation of humor. right. and we shouldn't do that kind of thing. ok,

that's it for this news. our here on our t international on what speed the end of a significant chapter for afghanistan. we've seen the president's ash rough ghani bought a plane, which the taliban, i've been calling for for so long. mocking the end of his government said no, but name and has seen the taliban in recent days. move towards taking over the entire country in circling the capital and of the coming hours. no doubt be giving us some details on forming a government. that's it from me. saskia taylor will be bringing you full hours again. those we expect more developments in the coming few hours here on the international as afghanistan starts a new life under the taliban. once again for me, call him bray and moscow. thanks for watching the ah,

ah, the other stuff. and then i need to talk to someone like it could be more than that, even when i'm in a position that we need to make on it for me. which mobile phone bill. and it isn't about what it was working for the day. but it was easy,

i got to know how to choose. it could put an office, me going to be as long food. i want to tell you the other hand that what you would need is that quote, i think it's part of the mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree with something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your adventure logic. you say your micro grass mate, you say you try me. you said you heard me again some psychological way because news or psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problems or politics because

it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . oh, i use

ah, well break can use the sunday chaos on panic and the afghan capital is the town about 15 to cobble with residents now playing the city. oh, must be ask our president please the country and reported me quit leaving the country in pieces. i'll go forward to try to secure the key still with the kind of bond chad semester thought escalate to the me to the off the april the now inside the u. s. president, that american troops would withdraw. meaning that to decades off to washington put the country into all the pentagon, quit leaving desperate systems face to face with the militant, once again the .
