and bring you the violators from all around the wild on the sunday course, all eyes on afghanistan is the situation that continues to rapidly unravel. while i was caught up on fighters and to the presidential palace in the capital, kabul, the president had fled the country on panic, gulf the streets of the city house flows have been heard near the presidential, santa american embassy. him as the group thought it, it's false is to enter the capital to prevent looting and violence of the quote laska lord foresman pleased the scene on verified split his thoughts on life. so people throwing rocks security off says, leaving cobble without a fight. 9 pm a cause you came in and remains in place. the millison claim that they will soon decline and islamic emerett of our family. well, there's video right here. inmates released by the ton of and from the country's largest scale, they also see 5 minutes in prison located to just 25 kilometers north of the capitol. supports claim the $5000.00 convicts was set free,

mostly on flight is ready to join. not the couple residents have been clean that you can see in huge numbers throughout the day, hundreds of cars were stuck in traffic jobs and some locals even running away. there had been massive queues up banks as people tried to take out the money before . basically, i got the latest, told me unfolding crisis from africa. john several keys in the neighborhood of copying control of data from fought into the tunnel on han stuff. people the way they woke up in the morning. they were not aware that the ton of an older, already went there has to talk about are already and they are, they have the gene and i'll get a hobbles every people, every people they will, i did, they came out and i went to the barn too. much money because they didn't know that

how great on there was a big rush. people are big for one type of problem. some people who are living up on the road to the airport was completely blocked. lose a lot of traffic. jumps were there. but now the interact with the cobbles is even a big kept on all the police district of the g. now that kind of what we thought it was even different cobble we are hearing the voice of the motor bikes that i think from our area just before person of pilot barnes that we will on the job in the research. and it said that the big t, all of these 40 men, but these compounds in a couple of diplomatic areas on the international yours that, that will be protected by the telephone. it's somebody, him a fighter, and they will be saying, there are of course peace processes going on and go call for example. what do you

think is going to happen? die? i think the be the process is that has been felt. it doesn't make sense now to have a piece, the process process for what the country completely fall into the top on hand. so how do we get here? quick recap of how things have been unfolding throughout the week. the areas in read off how to find control territory is now. first on thursday the taliban intensified. it's operational, the country 2nd largest city of kandahar. by the end of friday, the militants had taken herat starts in the west of the country, tops the 3rd largest city enough galveston. then from saturday to sunday, another area just higher up. that's mazda is srahi also felt the insurgents done early on sunday. the 1st news about the taliban entering another key city of ta lot about followed 5 course the reports that it is now surrounding the capital entity even less now means that medicine is effectively control almost every province in the country. following a rapid,

a very decisive offensive. so what does this all the result of the telephone ramped up? it's offensive been a pro following to buy announcement the he was putting out american troops at the time. the isthmus group, how less than fits of 2019 percent of the countries charge. you now look at that scale, go up. this is very conservative and now says it controls the whole country. the for my ass contact to minister of porters and try but a 5 says lord, he's in 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 national resistance against them. but when they took here are kind of hard big cities and also right now, stay strong for a dollar in order to understand. now it seems that there is some sort of peaceful term vision and i've done this on what the people understand once it's clear

because the public opinion of the people i've done is done is clear for everybody and the, the legitimate to me, to of that under one of our pre inferior china, based on about what happened now is the tradition that is not in control of guns. actually the war was not going to war. it was a proxy warning, i've done is done, and i hope that guns will come together in the 1st time in 40 years. i've done 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 solid and neutral, inclusive government enough to understand because they've gotten this done as a heart official, will be to wait for the region in the international community where 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 and also to prevent looting gravity and destruction of intra fraction of what we've done is done, which was conduct the sun to another disaster. and i hope that the leaders have totally one in the leaders of the government will understand the situation and will think about the people that have done it's done, especially the displace people of a gun is done in enough is in, in to stop the blood. you're going to sun people which are waiting for for years. well, of course lives now to doctor and historical sciences rush, says plaque, an off university of economics, ask your guest, us a tron welcome to the program. the 1st thing i want to ask you is that now we'll see it's that a lot of tale that doesn't seem to be much older. we don't know where it's going. there are signs of violence is growing nationwide. how do you rate the chances of

the taliban restoring piece to kind of stone? well, of course we didn't go in complex. now was he expected it was expected as such scenario, but it's not expected so far. and as i said before, the talent bung into come out to fight, not to wait on them, but it didn't go much. your passport. and i don't think that situation in this country anytime soon. even in a medium term. because that kind of long don't want to be a part of the government not want to do all these different groups or the state, but want to have all power in that one is done and has to be see, the talent bin won't landslide victory, but they're telling bon movement wasn't they just gave back and

they just gave couple and a lot of manage it to taliban to fight. and i don't think that will be requesting this information is very, very bad. and they just show us is that one down either out of power reach presidential the by the failed to accept. you mentioned that a couple of times the government forces leaving carpet without a fight. now, the pentagon had said, ask, i'm fool, says how old he had gone to j as 20 years of training, montana false equipment and weapons. is that the u. s. shifting the blame all while these forces at summer saying it, they will cowards. well, yes, of course it's mainly there seems the blade to our government and special forces and army. but of course, the main reason is the failure of 25 year campaign or enter

a policy of the united states and not to germany, nation or state building one. it's all creating military and i was faithful. in general, it is pretty much obvious. and as we can see, the united states not only failed to create more or less stable state forms, but also had from big problems to be an army. as he grew into forces, he just needed that you can try to tell him that we just think from believe larry be a shame and the u. s. foreign policy here. and i don't think there was another cool treat. the kinds of victory can to call them reached a fortune that go from the beginning. i think the united states and their life and policy to lead through.

we've also seen that most for diplomats on the thing. the u. s. embassy taken down quite quite dramatic images. you know, the u. s. flag. but the russian mission is staying. it says that it doesn't feel under threat in your opinion why you thought? well, actually rational diplomacy has shown extreme experimentation and he was very successful in them. because understanding the situation way going away, healing more for begin diploma to cur, relationship and content. so we thought about many other countries and managed to agree that there wasn't rational interest and rational and he told the smart and before. now, now, and that is where the policy, but by the way, not all for the diploma left you suffering for you so much to do

in the us down in the working here, not on the russians. now course the latest development is that president connie, he's fled the countries officially resigned on facebook. my question to is one. do you think that the county people dissolved better than a facebook resignation from that president and to what's your reaction to his departure in general? when it was due, the shame of course, well what was left for him just to option stay ends repeated the fate of the president of war with the jubal out and to be tortured and killed by telephone . it is one of them, the 2nd shuttle fleet, the country. and so she turned out to be much so from the analogy below them, he chose. the 2nd option, of course, shows great fail level state building by the united states, of course. and the president was absolutely disaster and he didn't believe that it

bound to lead. he didn't believe that the united states wouldn't support them in the last moments couple. and they say, well, that's 25 years talking about those 25 years. i mean all these decades on and it seems that the town upon came back strong and managed to sweep through the country. i think the speeds that no one expected. how was that possible? is it that the us didn't train the people the ask on full says, well enough, is it that they left it just and to precarious situation? and why was they successful in creating a stable government in afghanistan? because they were doing very different and very smart things. they were doing, creating democracy which failed from the beginning a shelf key. the 2nd game is, of course, the strong to tell about them the kids and the, to the very,

extremely bad news for the regional stability and the future moment on national relations in general. because of their group reached bonnie's course. and the bent in russia is the embed sign of 2 groups, which can try to repeat that scenario. you could fight for 25 years and one finally, why don't the girls try to repeat it? and that gave them kids the story. according to the story us story and it is a bed, not only for the us for i was for one people, but also for the international relations system in general. and security, international security and the military. it will lead to creating more

and more appropriate situation. atmosphere for teresa walk around the world. yeah, absolutely. into repercussions of this, of course, of senior effort to think about that was doctrine, historical side says give us a try that so much for joining us in the program. thank you. well, we're going to see right now, recent pictures from carpool apple dip come out from various countries. we're talking about that. we get our way to flight to a state boss down to san nato forces, or at the site to ensure the safe to ation of foreign citizens. meanwhile, the u. s. embassy and cobbler has lowered the stars and stripes off the staff was transferred to the airport. okay, the more open it's in new york and following the american reaction, knocked off on don rapidly unruffled. well, the flag is down, the u. s. embassy is evacuated, and the staff is at the cobble airport. and from what we understand, they were ordered to burn sensitive documents before leaving the embassy. and now

the voices are comparing the situation and cobble to the situation in saigon, in 1975. the famous photograph of the us helicopter, pulling out as the government of south vietnam bell. well, here's some of what's been said, the mitigated disaster enough. again, histone the shameful, saigon, like abandonment of cobalt. the brutalization of african women. and the slaughter of our allies is the predictable outcome of the trump by the doctrine of weakness. now, republican senator ben sas also said the united states would regret its action that afghan as dan, and that this would hurt the international community. and it would weaken the alliances of the united states around the world. however, anthony, blinking the u. s. secretary of state does not agree. he said that he said basically that cobble is not signed on. and that is quite interesting because quite a little bit of difference there. lincoln said that the united states had achieved its goals in our ganeth stamp. and that because the terrorists responsible for 911

were apprehended and killed, had ad achieved its golden and had been successful in the country. now it's important to note that the terrorists responsible for 911 were largely from saudi arabia. they were not afghan. furthermore, osama been lot and will killed in pakistan, not in afghanistan, so quite interesting, but lincoln is satisfied with the u. s. mission after 18 year. here's ways that 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 or 20 years, was simply not in the national interest. now part of the reason there's such a scramble is the us estimate about how long it would take the taliban to retake the country. seemed to have been changing at one point. they thought they had 6 months or 12 months. at one point they thought they had 90 days, and even as recently as 2 days ago, they were saying there was no threat to cobble. here's what was said by

a representative of the pentagon. always not right now 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 not to talk more troops being sent them to oversee the evacuation of us citizens. but as far as protecting afghans the white house has made clear, they do not feel that is in the interest of the united states at this time. perfect all strategic studies. salma malik says, the washington's broken all its promises to the country and just abandoned 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 about development is back impacting, you'll find some full tie and the security forces inside of find a stand. we're not prepared, they were still really green in their preparation,

and the americans knew it, the rest and always knew it. but just because that there had been a lot of investment on the ground by the americans and american. it to waters were demanding as to why so many american troops were still pledged in up on his farm that the u. s. had to make this a drawn plus the fact that they did not have anything now to offer to the bond leadership all to the a fine 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 months of reintegration, reconstruction, reforming upon society, politics, security forces, nothing is really strong enough to started. got ground back in 2001. and then 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 tunnel bond would overrun the country. next up in the tranquil asks how americans need it, could have got it 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 favor. 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 respected 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. the family a very worried because they have no idea what to do. have been displaced from ta, comes to the telephone, killed my star. they took all the belongings from my house and had fire damage. 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 but they want full control. and now very big 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 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 episodes 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 going to send for bob can help drawing the unfortunate parallels either the latest news of a 3rd, the drop down, and our 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 were 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,

as 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 19 can i meet the pro? 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 the americans. and even for the left, which gives credit to compact things that shows how,

how much less successful and button americans have been building a stable government. and i've kind of stamina soviet, when the say we didn't exactly do a good job for clarity, the new americans of failed didn't learn. things got less to do with the daughter of miss underestimation of the taliban shying as it is to do with underestimation 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. and he will campaign us have long lambasted the us for occupying afghanistan toys. you will, there's billions of dollars unless learn to mentioned, costing countless lives. but kennestone from the hamilton coalition to stop the wolf says that the now so botching, the withdrawal marching to this, did miscalculate and it scrambled to increased 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, a mass, a fuss?

patch of u. k. troops to safe called british nationals on read. okay. format down staff. arrived in cobble on saturday. $600.00 soldiers are expected to arrive in april to 3. 31 that i found a san is on the brink of collapse branding the us, pull out a mistake then what us ads that town about medicine clarity have momentum across the country. and i've got a son. his heading was civil war protecting to the cod nation. will again become a breeding ground for so many ask towns. feel a fountain by the british evacuation effort. walkers who help foreign troops. reprisals from the taliban. one group of off down scoot assisted u. k. forces rallied on the streets of carpet on friday, demanding protection from the british government, with one for when top to pleading directly with prime minister bridges 1st. and to get him out. he says he now lives in terra cooper,

you many and then day in denies on that i am, i'm staying issue. i can we go. the situation is just for me. you know i, i will give you the same email to me. you are eligible for the game on that time. i will be happy to do my fin the my job in the new one i came from amy from h g t that in the email us to give you you have to finish by hand and you must to get the new for up like spring. i got to the rich, do you mean i've been by mistake and you are knocked
