12:03 am
de woke up in the morning and they thought that it's all about already be and i'll just get on the call and get a plan to be able to get in touch with people to rush away. we just went to the bank. so they went to the, to the mosque gate to buy food. that was a lot of traffic. people just that you could, you saw the people who are in the car and they're in the motor by, by food. they will not do or i do, i'll just to solve the problems. but in the afternoon with a ton of been in talk to the look why there was no more more more people. the 1st people blame on the americans because the people are changing or people are saying that in fact, i've gone to some 100 to a tyler bond one year ago when americans and dad talked about how much time. i've got some hundreds over to, to the top from the time american did not have. i've done government, i'm going to be both. they always lead to tell about the program to lead to the
12:04 am
district. so good luck. try to prevent the time for capturing of the district and capturing of their 1st people have a leg on blending on america. and the 2nd people are blaming over a month, which was that lead by any ton about ramped up as events in april following 0, boston confirmation. he was putting out american troops, as you can see on the graphic in just a month, the minutes a group has gone from a week position to controlling the entire country. this is how events unfolded the
12:05 am
12:06 am
most the taliban fighters ready to join the assault. and as for the 2nd in line to taliban, setting up a roadblock between janelle about a couple people driving through a report really being checked for document with men without a beard being asked if families live in the us administration has announced the number of its troops in afghanistan will be increased to 6000 within the next 2 days. that says, hundreds of americans have already left the country and thousands more scrambling to follow. meanwhile, helicopters and planes were seen flying over the gun capital. as nato seek to ensure the safe evacuation of fall citizens, the u. s. embassy and cobble load it stars and stripes on monday morning sort of activated. off the airport. kellum open in new york is following the american reaction as of going on unraveled. while the flag is down, the u. s. embassy is evacuated, and the staff is at the cobble airport. and from what we understand,
12:07 am
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 can it's done 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 biden doctrine of weakness. now republican senator ben sas also said the united states would regret in action than afghanistan, 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
12:08 am
a little bit of difference there. lincoln said that the united states had achieved its goals and i get of them. and that because of the terrorist responsible for $911.00 were apprehended and killed, i hit add, achieved its goals, and it 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 bin lot and was killed in pakistan, not in afghanistan, so quite interesting. but lincoln is satisfied with the u. s. mission after 18 year years 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 $510.00 or 20 years, was simply not in the national interest. now part of the reason there's such a scramble is that us estimate about how long it would take the taliban to retake the country. seem to have been changing at one point. they thought they had 6
12:09 am
months or 12 months. at one point they thought they had 90 day then 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 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 couple others talk more troops being sent to get them to oversee the evacuation of us citizens. but as far as protecting ask at the white house is made clear, they do not feel that is in the interest of the united states at this time. well, this war, of course, the us army of the lives of almost 2 and half 1000 soldiers. the question is, what are the feeling for those who fought on last, comrades, and i've got to stop to us veterans question, the goals of that war? well, at this point, for,
12:10 am
for all of the men and women of our country have served in afghanistan who have lost friends to move and seeing people injured, have gone through terrible emotional and physical trauma as a result of this service. and had hope that in some way they were helping afghanistan for all of these people. most of them are sad, some are angry, but really they're sad and they're asking the question, and i think it's been reported widely. why, why was, why were we there? what were we really doing? because we did not achieve any mission that was sold to our soldiers. jar, young men and women who served there. what they were told they were doing was not, i'm sorry, it was not the mission that was accomplished. ok. we didn't accomplish that mission, whatever mission the biden and trump, and george bush and obama were hoping to accomplish that was kept a secret from our troops that troops were told of very positive things about the future. but again, a standing, none of it was true and i until committee knows very well that it,
12:11 am
most of it was based on falso been imagining imagination, the veterans on iraq, the veterans of afghanistan, all of us veterans ought to be going to our congress to say no more wars because every one of these conflicts as they ended up not only with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of millions of citizens of the countries we've gone into being dead or wounded. but certainly the veteran population of the united states that continues to suffer suicides at $22.00 a day and long term mental problems that affect not only them personally, but their whole families and their communities is something that our us congress and our politicians ought to be held accountable for forgetting us into these endless wars the when was for the defense contractors of the united states of america, they got really rich and those apt and set that help them on a high level not really rich, but those that actually implemented the projects didn't get rich and now the,
12:12 am
the retribution and retaliation from it's all a bond who said you'd never should have been working with the u. s. government on in any of this anyway. is tragically going to happen. a while a 1st sponsor british troops arrived in cobbled on saturday to say it's gordon nationals and relocate for more guns stuff. $600.00 soldiers are expected in total . it's weak, put in the defense secretary was going to san is on the brink of collapse, grinding the us, pull out a mistake and water side of the taliban militants clearly have momentum across the country. and i've kind of thought heading towards civil war. also predict thing of michael scott nation will again become a breeding ground for al qaeda. meanwhile, many guns feel abandoned by that british q ation effort workers to help foreign troops fear reprisals from the taliban. one group of guns who assisted u. k. forces rallied on the streets of commerce on friday morning,
12:13 am
the british government protect them. we spoke to one full interpreter, work for both british and american forces, is asked to remain anonymous out of fears for his life. my family has to it's in the post sometime my son be home was attacked twice. my father has been given warnings and threats many, many times my my dad name was called that has lights 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 a cause of the taliban in the past year. and so a number of interpreters have been appealed or targeted by the taliban.
12:14 am
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 won't be 2 americans on away versus the way everybody is running away. who are they leaving behind the interpreters who have served for years and years old enough to understand 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 kids. they are making excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject their case. that's all i'm hearing from mike leeks is the big cases have been rejected, rejected. there was a number of cases which were told that they were good to go. there were even given
12:15 am
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 swamps, 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 oppressed. 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
12:16 am
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 or who will pay the ultimate price. countries have been evacuating nationals in a panic. you can see flaws and creation struggling to whole heavy rock sacks, bags and suitcases packed with leather longings to board military helicopters that cobbled for other states have also suspended diplomatic missions. denmark, norway, temporarily shutting their shed compound, germany in finland, also closing their vicinity sizing the was thing situation and more than 60 other countries of coolant. going to start to ensure the safety of those who wants to leave the town about meanwhile, says it won't stop far as the passing russia meanwhile, which is long advocated working with the transition. government says its mission is not under threats and therefore it has no plans to shut. it was a power vacuum a significant of course. there's gunfire in the city armed looters. we know about
12:17 am
the smell of burning. the important thing is that the taliban as need themselves promise are interested in a peaceful transition of power. they guarantee the safety of foreign embassies, including our embassy. we have significantly reinforced our security in advance. now there are no threats to our diplomats. our property will continue our work here in a calm and normal manner. a member of the russian federation, counsellors worried that a resurgent taliban will now try to spread its employment through former soviet countries. their reports to 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 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,
12:18 am
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 to pull out. we left nancy buller there who defended. i've got to stand for the movie, had deemed for years. the americans have not yet managed to leave the territory of afghanistan. and this army, which they supposedly prepared, is turned out to be completely demoralized. we can say for sure that it's unlikely that russia will end up getting this 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 categor steiner, we will have to do our duty and protect those states. oh, so it is, and i've got a son. i've taken a serious toll on the countries humanitarian situation already heavily burdened by
12:19 am
the corona virus pandemic. we heard from one house you care about the pressure, the local population is facing. 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 stability of 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 pandemic and a drought was announced earlier this year. so half the population, even before this latest escalation and fighting with a need monitoring assistance and those needs are even greater right now. even warns nearly 400000 civilians have already fled their homes this year with a particular spike. since may, most of the display, reportedly women and children. here are just some of the heart wrenching stories
12:20 am
from the refugees. i have been just placed from telecom. the taliban killed my son because all the belongings from my house, i'm satisfied with 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 school teacher, so she recently became a teacher and had not even received her salary. had a class has broke out, taken hostage at the fighting, went on for about 6 or 7 days, but we couldn't go outside and we managed to escape. and now where do you was widespread fighting escalates women and children? and i've got to start playing are paying the highest price. according to the last un office report in the past 6 months casualties, women and children gravely increased passing grim total set in 2009. more and more women are concerned about the future of the sullivan's harsh version of islamic law . let's understand that well. 7 there are women in the cities particularly cobble
12:21 am
that made gains during these last 20 years. women are still oppressed in the countryside. there it still is an extremely poor country with a terrible health care system. and the fighting has really attracted women and girls. so stability and peace is very important for women. the teller binary said they're not the same tale, but there were 20 years ago that they will allow women to go to school and to work . we've seen some of that in the places where they have control, and we've seen in some other places that women have been fired from the places they work or they fear continuing to work until they've gone back into their homes. so i think it's important for the international community, but that in this transition process, women will be able to go to school to work, to have their rights respected. many as kind of solemn seek is aiming to come to
12:22 am
the you, but they're not that welcome with the block. now loggerheads over what to do with moderates and those fleeing violence policies pool is lyric floors. what happened to europe's open door policy? your opinion is less than what to do with african refugees seeking. 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 edge of 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,
12:23 am
the situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and fans have decided to pause the deportation can be 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. 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 haven't you guys are waiting make up around 10 percent of asylum seekers there. the 2nd largest group off the syrian 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
