thought international that week. or you look at the big stores the past 7 days. of course, the very latest in the news starting with we can not scott, at the developing situation in afghanistan, while as taliban fighters and to the presidential in the capital hobble the president has led the country. i'm having gulf the streets of the city, the islamic groups ordered its forces to enter the capital to quote, prevent looping, and violence laughed on north fulton. please proceed. meanwhile, unverified footage, canadian on line shows people throwing rocks at security officers even couple down to the point. medicines claims they will soon declare the islamic emerald. well, well, this video show inmate released by the ton of bond from the countries not just j o . earlier they would say seized background, military prison, located to just $25.00, belong to the north of the capitol. reports claim about 5000 free,

mostly taliban fighters, ready to join yourself? not a glitch in the meanwhile residence of cobble offloading the city in huge numbers. hundreds of cars are stuck in traffic chimes with some local people running away. that have been massive cues at flanks as people try to take out money before they leave. we spoke to an off con john just about the deterioration situation in coppel. this morning when i went to the city, i saw that they are appointed. everyone is rushing from one side of call to either side of both. people are rushing to the max that you're going to. the fact of course, that the face of the call will be changed at the public told the military face in the morning. yeah. what a lot of fresh but no one hour before. when i went out to the t. v i started, you know, quite a bit of

a lot of military troops are going around. the city we are hearing the military us are trying to tie off the call was to keep on according to the formation that we got from a different source in the district. people are people that are present in the area thought of and has the place in the district. they are speaking with the people of the big god, experience that with the rest of face, they cannot run a country or big enough governance on the people that are going to span. but according to the people that they are living under control of the telephone and the province, i spoke with them. you're happy from the behavior of the telephone. they are saying that don't, don't, don't, don't get problem for the people the let you just go to school there, let the people to go to war. you are not that much safe, aggressive has their head about that. well, i want to rewind a little bit and have a quick recap of how things happening on folding throughout the week. they say

a picture shows a 1000 words. this is that the areas in red taliban controlled territories. now, fast on thursday, the taliban intensified is operation. in the countries 2nd largest city of kandahar, that's down that in the south. by the end of friday, the militants had taken herat. that's written east. that is the 3rd largest city in afghan stone. then all develop so quickly, snowboarding from saturday to sunday, and not the area of the site you shall receive just above the herat dot also fall to the insurgents. early on sunday, the 1st news about the taliban entering another key city to lot about. so followed by reports, it is surrounding the capital. so this now means the militants effectively control almost every province in the country following a very rapid, astonishingly decisive offensive. so the town upon ramped up, it's offensive. we'll, we'll them back in april, following to biden's announcement. he was putting out american troops at the time.

the isn't the group held less than a 5th of the countries territory? now it says that it holds control of the whole country that is on extraordinary and quick development. now the local officials actually announced the position of a cause you in the city that has ready entered into force before my african deputy minister of porters and tribal affairs sable forties on the people must now unite for peace, helped, of course, by the international community situation. is changing our by our, in the start when the, their totally want to talk the district of gun on the or was some sort of what is this difference or nationally distance against them. but when the truck here are kind of hard, big cities and also right now, stay strong for a dollar in order to understand. now it seems the idea is that some sort of peaceful transition and understand what the people are going to sun. and once it's

clear because the public hoping enough people have done is done is clear for everybody and the, the legitimate method of that under of power and the plea inferior china i'm going on about what happened now is the tuition that is not in control of our guns, actually the war was not going to war. it was approx, you are and i've done is done. and i hope that guns will come together in the 1st time in 40 years and said together in high enough of the way the efforts of russia, united states and other countries. and also the region must come to a consensus to establish solar in neutral, inclusive government. enough to understand because they've gotten this done as a hot official will be today for the region in the international community. right now. what's important that the blood of the young blood of guns must be stopped in

the transition must go smoothly. and it is, i think, the responsibility of what sites in the people of august on themselves to stay home so also to prevent losing gravity and destruction of infra structure of done is done. which one of the conduct the son to another is after. and i hope that the leaders have started one in the leaders of the government will understand the situation and will think about the people off of guns done, especially the displace people of a gun is done in enough is in, in to stop the bloodshed dog. i'm going to sun people which are waiting for for years. while these are recent pictures from cobble, dip them out from various countries are waiting flights to escape from afghanistan . nato forces up the site are ensuring the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. the u. s. embassy has taken down at the american flag golf to stop what transpired to the tip will stay reports on sensitive documents before they left.

well, continue not team of the us. i went across life now to caleb moore, pin in new york. caleb, what has been the u. s. reaction as the situation in afghanistan so rapidly on rivals? i think we knew that maybe we're going to end up at this stage, but i think it's the timeline here that is quite literally shocks the world. sure. as you just said, that we have the embassy staff being evacuated. at this point, we are hearing that they were ordered to burn sensitive documents before departing, the embassy and it. furthermore, we now understand that the embassy staff is on their way to the airport, including the us ambassador and the voices are speaking up and comparing this to the 1975 situation in saigon, where there's the famous image of the helicopter, and the u. s embassy, staff, etc. take a listen. the mitigated dissolved,

are enough, can it's done the shameful, saigon, like abandonment of kabul. the brutalization of african women and the slaughter of our allies is the predictable outcome of the trump biden doctrine of weakness. now, ben, sas, the u. s senator also said that the usa withdrawing would hurt its relations with allies and it would hurt the international community. however, anthony blink and the u. s. secretary of state disagrees with ben. sas is assessment. he says, cobble is not the saigon i and that it's interesting to note because that famous photograph in 1975 and saigon that was taken 29 months after the us military had left vietnam. whereas this is a situation where the u. s. military is still in afghanistan, and the u. s. embassy staff is blinking now. blank and says that the war and afghan stand was successful. the goals have been achieved. the terrorists who were

responsible for 911 have been brought to justice. now what's interesting to note about that is most of the terrorists responsible for the $911.00 attacks. most of those terrorists were from saudi arabia, and that was some of been london. he was apprehended and killed in pakistan, not in afghanistan, but regardless, anthony, blinking is satisfied with the result of the un mission after 18 years. take a listen. we succeeded in achieving those fundamental objectives and the idea that we would sign up for remaining there in the midst of the civil war for another $510.00 or 20 years, was simply not in the national interest. now, the blanking is satisfied. the u. s. slide has been taken down from the u. s embassy, and part of the reason there's been so much of a scramble is because the u. s. staff believed they had 6 to 12 months to wrap up their opperation in the country. and then they quickly found out they had only 3 months to do it. and it seemed that there was kind of a lack of foresight on the part of us leaders. because just 2 days ago,

we had the pentagon saying there was no threat to cobble. let's remember what they said. listen, always not right now. and in an imminent threat environment. but clearly, if you just look at what the taliban has been doing, you can see that they are trying to isolate cobble those reports that there could possibly be more troops sent to the country just to oversee the safe evacuation of americans. in light of this situation, this point, there's talk that there to be even more than to make sure the americans get out of the country safely. but the white house said that securing the safety of afghans is no longer their concern and no longer in the u. s has interests. well, i think for the for 1000000 who are now living in cobb latin and the rest of the colonies is probably not very comforting was not, was caleb more pen reporting from new york, many banks,

while professor of strategic studies. so malik says, but washington broken its promises to the country and abundant its system 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 impacting to find some full time security forces inside of on the sand. we're not good. they were still very green in their preparation and the americans knew it. the western powers knew it. but just because 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 was still pledged in fathers found that the us had to make the strong plus the fact that they did not have anything now to offer to the farm leadership or to the a find people. they had tried all type 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. well, that's hair if he has what exactly us presence of said back in 2001 than us president george w bush insisted that the taliban regime was on its last legs. more recently, joe biden said it was highly unlikely. the taliban would overrun the country in the patrol. co. next. stop. ask how america leaders could have got hurt. so wrong. just pictured the timeframes really have a proper think about it. i was 12 when america sent its soldiers to again a 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 provinces came here to the park. we have all fled to fighting. there is no food and no water. these families are very worried because they have no idea what to do. have been

displaced from telecoms to she. the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house and had fire to them as transferred 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 but they want full control and now very news. they have entered the capital capital. but even at this point, again, it stands besieged. government isn't able to rely on a helping hand from washington. african leaders have to come together. we lost thousands at last death in injury. thousands of american personnel got

a 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 vietnam with some

people feeling what? 0 the tale. vaughn 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 of ghana send for bob can't help drawing the unfortunate parallels either the latest news or the 3rd, the drop down, and our embassy and a hasty deployment of military forces seem like preparations for the full of couple president biden's decisions have a hurtling toward and even worse, equal to the humility come full of saigon in 1975 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. there was a huge foreign policy failure with general m if occasions just share of 7 month inter this administration. everything points to 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 locals 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 this on by mean the capacity when the soviet stuff that's going to sound in line change and i need the co civic government did not collapse 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 2 to the taliban before the americans. and even 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 stamina service. one say we didn't exactly do a good job there for clarity the you americans of this thing, this is got less to do with the of the daughter of miss underestimation of the taliban shying as it is to do with an under estimation of the will to fight the government forces, i mean, simply put, the government forces collapse. they've shown 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. anti war campaigns have long, long busted the u. s. for occupying off down to stop wasting millions of dollars and of course costing countless lives but can stern from hamilton coalition to stop the war says there are also watching the withdrawal itself washington. this did miscalculate and it scrambled to increase troop levels. to compensate for that, the u. s. should never have been, and nato should never have been in afghanistan in the 1st place. this was a unilateral and illegal invasion and occupation that took place without the approval of the un security council. now today, the united states and staging a withdrawal, a retreat from afghanistan. and they're doing it in a unilateral fashion. again, they didn't use the help that they could have called upon from russia, china,

india, iran, and pakistan. and those regional and, and asian powers to organize an orderly withdrawal and the creation of a stable government in kabul. that one that might have been a government of national unity or a power sharing arrangement or coalition government. instead, the u. s. deliberately left mass and asked us in that alliance withdraws, ask our nationals who helped foreign troops. now fit reprisals from the taliban. one group of ask helen food assisted u. k. fool says raw lead on the streets of carpool on friday, demanding protection from the british government. perhaps that have been hud 600 british troops have been deployed to safe called u. k. nationals, i'd say if actuate from the capitol as well as supporting the relocation of full ass down stall. we also spoke when top to who worked for both british on american

forces is also remain anonymous out of 5th, his life. my family has to it's in the past sometime my family home was attacked twice. my father has been given warnings and threats many, many times. my. my dad's name was called that has like will be severely at risk because he offered not one but 2 of the sons against the italian. recently, one of the interpreter, his father was caught in bacteria a province. he was beaten very badly. and he was asked to ask his son, who is an interpreter, to come and change the city of course of the taliban in the past year. and so a number of interpreters have 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 should they will be different. americans have gone away. bruce have gone away. everybody is running away. who are they living kind? the interpreters who have served for years and years are status and i've got some tracing risk and benches. however, you can government instead of saving deadlines, bringing them here to live in peace and safety with their kids. they are making excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject their case. it'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 already take to the u. k. i and my brother, both of us would interpreter for the collision 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 deeper 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, begin to, to protect those who have worked alongside them enough canister. i strongly believe that the telephone will hot down and agree are going to interpreter who is so if the british and american forces it will be the african interpreters who will pay

the ultimate price. was a battalion throughout the day beginning analysis from people, including a former senior british niece of sun resolve the stormy officer who walks enough kind of stone as a security advisor, kevin harley told us, it was clear that this situation was coming. 11 problem with the group government employees that they will not or are wary over telling truth to power. and of course, because the politicians had no real plan and the phone got blocked about a number of generals maintain, the mentor of we are doing this. they wouldn't listen to the majors left tenant colonels, the company commanders on the ground, or blue collar worker, lisa by slightly high. what do i know? i may have been too much of a thousands of police, but i know nothing about subsequent. the 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 cultured. now understanding the subtleties of the tribes that got installed. 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. what you're looking at right now, the footage from the key city of to lot of bad. it was the last major stronghold taken by the taliban. before they reached the capital, the millison claimed the city was taken without a fight or this, but had such a thing online or so taught upon setting up a roadblock between a lot of bad on cobble people drive in through are reportedly being checked for documents with man without a bid being off if they are loose limbs. 2 2 and also i will show you an exclusive video from our dentist on the 2nd largest city can hall, which came on to taliban control. on friday,

the group sided these hundreds of weapons and vehicles as well as large amounts of munition and city. despite the escalation violence over yet, it took months for the un security council to admit how critical the situation was . even a country that tragically known generations of conflicts, afghanistan is in the throes of yet another chaotic and desperate chapter. and incredible treasure the for its long suffering. people have forgot he's done. he's spinning out of control. we discussed with guest the situation. courtney and afghan stone and how it was to harry to quite 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. you have given an open hand to develop 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 cited by and take over the day. in fact, be solid months stopped or hold to the tax 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 increase 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 assigned that you just see a few groups with on motorcycles, with clashing costs and my weapons. and they've human 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 with the taliban advancing nations had been closing the caldwell embassies in a fox weights and diplomatic st. off. and as among the countries putting out some diplomatic workers, denmark a new way, a temporary shutting down best shad compound germany is closing its facility as wells fight. and course the deteriorating situation. thoughts are taught upon says it won't stop foreigners leaving the country. russia for its part says its mission

is not under threat and has no plans to shop. meanwhile, most because foreign ministry arms, it will work with the transition government, which is a process it has long advocated to show them the situation in the city is tense. now, but there is no fighting, as far as we know, the policies are currently negotiating. there is no threat to the embassy and no evacuation is required. while a member of the russian federation council is worried that a research in taliban will now try to spread its influence through format, 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 and being a.
