a brave face on these 20 years, the top officials advocating the true withdrawal and insisting the lengthy mission in the country has been nothing but a success. european states evacuate the nationals from cargo race concerns about a potential floods of refugees. coupled with the new terror threat? ah . very good afternoon. thanks for joining us here on our t international drug. let's continue a special coverage this monday with the dramatic events that have been unfolding enough county sun over the last 24 hours where the taliban is now declared an end of war in the country. that's after is fine, has effectively counted every major city, including the capital cobble, and it means that after nearly 20 years, the entire nation is now back under control of the militant group,

the there are unconcerned report stating at least 5 people have been killed. that the capital is ports, i must warn you. you may find these images disturbing the body so it can be seen on the ground to the airport this morning. i guess these images come master unverified video emerged on line, reportedly capturing the moment us troops opened. what they called preventative by the airport. not convent if it led to the death of those people. the us. so just say that they only shot into the air. some report suggests the victims may have been killed in a stampede, as people were rushing towards plains trying to get out of the country. this is how they looked early on sunday night. the only part of the city that still remains out

of the taliban hands. thousands committee desperately searching for an opening up a unity and leave the country commercial flights of again been suspended though after they were resumed. now the only option to get out was on board, opposed to said to be under taliban control. while insurgents have seized the presidential palace and cargo of the president, sheriff ghani fled the country, and the taliban says it will shortly declare an islamic amorous. honest work. you know. and recently, a local news agency called tolo has claimed taliban militants have stormed its office and cobble, and the compound and seized weapons of security stuff. we spoke to a local journalist about the development. i haven't got the information from a friend to the new group of to town on their told him use compound.

we don't have a information that's what's happening in the views. but we are watching the tv. it's running out on break, but yet might be some misuse inside of the news. my mike, mike mike, mike, talk with the response about news stuff. maybe they have some kind of instruct, shot kind of limited, but they're still, we don't have any kind of information that way. so let me know what for the telephone interview to renew it will be known later in trying to use compound was damage to the mcdaniel damage the feed them. so it's peach and also with a hard to promise not on the leaders. and it's all about possible earlier, this is the north part of them, but have the permission to talk to the compound or other permissions policies in cobble. but now you're seeing that one or 2 compounds to the house of people in the

problem. on sunday, after rounds of talks, president, i'm sure i've gone, he resigned something. he confirmed on his facebook page. he said that the movers to avoid bloodshed as the punch was part of a peace deal proposed by the taliban. conflicting full suggest, sees now in one of 2 neighboring countries to g on or pakistan. however, both countries deny those claims. the city are reportedly shows inmates released by the taliban from the country's largest jail. early they also ceased burger, military prison, located just 25 kilometers north of the capital. the pulse came about 5000 convicts was set free, mostly collarbone fighters ready to join the sold. and this sort of circulating on line shows the taliban setting up a roadblock between july, about and cobble it's the reportedly being checked the documents with men without bids being asked if they all muslim sullivan ram. took his offensive in

april, following her job buttons confirmation that he was pulling out american troops. and as you can see, just a matter of months, the group has successfully swept across the entire country. let's take a look at how events unfolded. the i the

the respond the phase of many afghans citizens to taliban says there's nothing to be afraid of. a representative of the group still viewed as a terrorist organization by many states around the world as addressed the nation. how i'm going to diplomatic institution that a function properly for the past 20 years should continue to function as a representative of the afghan people. i ask you to continue your work to establish diplomatic relations with the afghan people. the process of power transition if peaceful, land ongoing. my great request to the people of couple is to come to their workplace is open. market and shops. local and international organizations are requested to

continue their activities as long suffering people solely needed. meanwhile, the use of ministration is again increase the number of troops ascending into the canister and to help evacuate american citizens an additional 1000, to now being said on top of the 5000 or the allocated over the next few days. meanwhile, helicopters and planes have been seen flying over the african capital, as nato sought to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country, thousands of others trying to follow the u. s. embassy in the capital load its flag . after all staff were transferred to the airport full back in washington dc, a large crowd gathered outside the white house people, voicing concerns over the fall of the afghan government in the true jewels. i've been waving afghan flags and holding signs, proclaiming america betrayed the scam. people and demanding the country opens its borders to them immediately and to seek is done us to him,

a colleague for research in the studio to discuss how the telephone trance is being viewed in america. all we can do is just speculate as to how trump would have could have, might have handled the withdrawal would have been better, would have been worse. there's no way of telling because trump's no longer president, on the printer, the president is a joe biden. and of course, it's difficult to whitewash this whole thing because and to make it look like a success which they are trying to do right now. because just think of it, the americans, they've been present and i've gone to a new just short of 20 years. that's 2 decades. if you're an american teenager in 19 going on 20, it means you never remember. you can't physically remember the country before before the us invasion. you've lived your whole life in a country where the u. s. was always present and you've heard that such statements and such promises against the taliban, made by all sorts of us politicians. thanks to our military, internationalize and brave fighters of afghanistan, itala bon regime,

is coming to an end. we broke the taller bonds momentum. we built strong afghan security forces. we devastated outside of leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders. the path to peace is now set before that. i have plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win that war, afghan, this stand would be wiped off the face of the earth would be gone. it would be over and literally in 10 days. and i don't want to do that. i don't want to go that route bond take over that canister. now inevitable is known because you have the afghan troops have 300000 well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force. again, something like 75000 colored man. it is not inevitable. so this is the sort of

people who are living in panic and rushing to the airport. they were panicking because for all these 20 years they have been promised. the taliban has no, no fighting challenge, but it will be wiped out eradicated, obliterated, you know, all sorts of fancy words. what happened? well, we all know what's happened instead. i mean, the biggest, the best metaphor here is i've gotten not african, but caliber troops posing next to humvees, next to black hawks. all the best equipment in the world. and you know, worked few years ago, all they could mount was a machine gun on a truck and now they're mounting. let's go to weapons. when aircraft, not only did the us fail to dismantle the taliban, as they had promised. and because it was largely a war on the taliban, but they emboldened it. they both stood. it's military capacity by an order of magnitude because the army essentially just gave them gifted them with some of the most advanced and powerful military equipment in the world. the taliban now has an

air force over the past 2 decades. america has sent so much military hardware and dr. canister and so many suitcases of cash. you would imagine off the 20 years of old military equipment and all the money that the african soldiers will be able to actually defend the country. but apparently, after all of this, they can't. while they did get their training, they did receive their fancy weapons. but the thing is, you also have to have the willpower to fight, and apparently this is what they will lacking. and i mean, i've read a lot of accounts of like formats are going war veterans who took part in the training and there's all sorts of stories claiming that. well, they just, they just didn't want, they were trying to be, they were trying to make policemen and military out of people who were rent a carpet best. so this is, this is what they've been doing. yes, they're worth 300000 soldiers trained and equipped. but we've learned through, i guess, throughout this onslaught by the taliban. i guess all journalists around, well, they've learned that to ask a question. like how long will they be able to hold?

a city is wrong, just run the will they hold the city of at all. will they try because so many cities and towns they just they just, they didn't fall. it's wrong to say that they fell because the never try to stand. they never try to make a stand. so this is what they've been doing. a lot of a lot of a lot of those 300000 they just lay down on some joined the taliban. some just said you can, you can have that because they can leave a more or less the same life, but without having under the taliban. but without having to risk their lives. so this is what the u. s. has failed to do. i mean, they just, they didn't, they didn't motivate because it was a war because the united states, they wanted the war on the taliban. the i've gotten, has been didn't the, because this whole situation proved that they didn't want to fight the taliban. i mean, otherwise they would have now that they had to every, every single, every single chance to but still nonetheless, the united states authorities,

the incumbent president and his team, they're trying to actually make it look like a success. the inability of asking security forces to defend their country has played up a very powerful role in what we've seen. we invested the international community invested over 20 years. billions of dollars in these forces, $300000.00 of them with an air force something the taliban didn't have with the most modern, sophisticated equipment. and unfortunately, tragically, they have not been able to defend the country. and i think that explains why this has moved as quickly as it's moved. well, in fact, it wasn't billions of dollars. it was closer to 2 trillion dollars. this is what, how, how different experts estimate the cost of more of us when the taliban, if you factor in inflation and such things with interest rate. but yeah, so according to the state secretary blinking, they succeeded. but again, i don't want this to turn into a lecture on history, but back in 2001 the united states they entered wrong. i've kind of been trying to

hide 200 down to some a been ludden over 911 terrorist attacks. of course, have they captured a sound loud and back then maybe they wouldn't have been and i've got to spend 20 years on, but well he fled if he managed to escape. so a very achievable and well clear goal turned into something into let's re educate the whole country and teach them to fight the taliban, which we had previously by the way. well, it established and funded and trained as well. obviously when the taliban turned out to be, they turned out to be much better students than the regular african army. the return of the taliban is a huge concern for those who have been working for the coalition forces over the years. so much so some of been taking desperate measures to leave the country. you may find these images distressing and verified footage on social media claims to show someone falling from a plane. as it was taking of cobble course, i find online the person who had been hiding in the under carriage viagra overs.

other objects were also seen falling from the plain. it's not yet been confirmed whether some one was killed. let's get some perspective on this now. from national security experts for hud. my suit, thanks for joining us on our tea for some chaotic scenes. and certainly the, the u. s. government weren't anticipating to be seeing any time soon. president biden, the u. s. secretaries states and said it would be highly unlikely to tell him will be able to over the country. how could the intel, how could their opinions have been so wrong? well 1st and foremost, we need to take this back all the way to net bama 2009 of one policy which was disrupt dismantle defeat. he took it over from george bush, you and yet, who was all w to destroy, have gone on as a whole, clear void,

bailey try and for what the subsequent policy or the defense policy that was taken in. hillary clinton came up with the building transfer policy. if we look at be cultured or the society of the region, the biggest problem that stands is the wadding drives are the factions which we're not dismantled this mind through what a prime requirement for the new national security diet sport. i do play a role cued me, but on the other hand, we also look at this possibility off of so much finance going and so much effort so much time as well when things did not fall into perspective as well as the plan off the allied nations so long story, short failure of policy is the buzzword going around. now, what happened to the afghan forces that had great numbers?

they were that they were quit, how they've been swept aside so easily. first and foremost, we need to understand, as i mentioned before, the valid mon i deeply rooted into the culture and society of a man, if they know the death. because a lot more spheres off a d s f, as we call it or we used to color to what they did very kindly the rang to the force they knew that they were, they were there was marred corruption taking place, very few bullets guns and more went from provided to these personnel as well as soon as the number we just rumored, it was $150.00, but a person. they gave away the money, they negotiated a safe exit for them, and they swept it all because there was no political will or inspiration that was

bossed on from the strategic through the operational, the tactical fear that this waves the n d s f. with all the huge numbers and the $829.00 super to gone off with the us, 60 black cock, whether or not they will do function in the, in the spirit. and just to clarify, have the gun national forces. they've been defeated in combat of they just decide which would suggest some kind of sympathy support for the taliban. absolutely true. i would agree with you 100 percent on the degree that there was no shorts. fired a no charge fighter neither de la bod. not hit the goblin says. busy and one should be fairly bind, reached the bridge into ballast. they simply say, i'm this the wall. so north government just took place between the n dss,

as well as the dollar bond, no matter which part of the country we speak off. the telephone is still many, we'll call it a militant group, but it's the class by, by most nations as a terrorist organization is the danger of the terrorist groups will now view of ghana stand as a safe haven, even though course that goes completely against any agreements that telephone had with united states i don't believe so for a few reasons. first and foremost, it's all a game off geo politics and g o e nomics. as we have seen in the previous few months, the dollar bonds have directly engaged, are the spokesperson, have directly engaged with the chinese for foreign minister as well as the united states. so what they're doing is the international lightning them has been legalizing the framework. and as we understand the, the,

the old board or the c pack for the region is a huge game changer. made $46000000000.00 for the state of pakistan about $200.00 for iran. so dollar bond, i'm a lot of finance to come into a nissan and obviously the bank this will stabilize that region. so died this week . and security can further generate prosperity for a war thorn of minus done for the previous will be last year. if we bring in the majority of the 8 be as well. and finally, whilst the way that the telephone swept across the country suggests that there might be public support even amongst the afghan forces. how many people do you think will be absolutely terrified to the thought being controlled by the taliban? and living under strict sherry

a law which will mean that women will be not even 2nd class citizens. the women won't be allowed to be educated. they will be subservient. the draconian punishments that will be employed by the judges. i mean, how many people will be terrified of the thought that exists of existence under the taliban? well, this is all i have say for now, but the officials of the dollar bind spokesperson. the very specifically said that the ladies will be allowed to work one. the female students will be allowed to go to their school on the record demick places by what we've seen in the morning today, at least on the social media. there aren't any other. we have seen pictures where students or good students have seen walking on the roads on

the back streets of god. we're going to school in uniform. so that may be very different from what we saw in 1996 once the 1st reign of the taliban game in when very strict law, as i mentioned before, g o, economics and geo politics is the way forward and the dollar by know this as well, they need to, they didn't my regime, their rain, they need to soften their image within the word. and i believe with the with the internet available and the social media presence time frame. i believe they'll be able to put that in that rather quickly. thank you so much for your assessment of what's going on enough against the national security expert for how much food is my guess. we,

while the 1st batch of british troops arrived in campbell saturday to safeguard nationals and how are you located? former afghans staff, $600.00 soldiers are expected in total of the european states have been evacuating the national, suspending diplomatic missions, denmark norway temporarily closing the shed compound, germany and finland. closing the facilities, citing the deteriorating situation more than 60 countries of cold on account is done to ensure the safety of those who want to leave. given the deteriorating security situation, we support a work into secure and call and all parties to respect and facilitate the safe and orderly departure of foreign nationals and afghans who wished to leave the country . those in positions of power and authority across have danced on their responsibility and accountability for the protection of human life and property, and for the immediate restoration of security and civil order. why calling horace this i spoke with our correspondent pool

a slayer about your reaction to the fall of afghanistan. i think it's fair to say that not just your opinion leaders, but the world in general is in a state of shock. here in france, the priority is on evacuation. we have heard from the french president, seeing saying that the mediate an absolute power is the securing of both french national and african citizens who are there enough county done on the porch. and here they are particularly talking about african citizens who have assisted the french government. the 1st flight is slated for monday, and it comes as the french military scenes reinforcements to the united arab emirates, to facilitate with the evacuation process. now all of this is happening as i balls are being raised and questions are being asked as to how the taliban was able to achieve such a quick victory. and certainly we have more more people asking questions as to the policies of foreign countries when it comes to engaging in was i uploaded the u. s

. defeat in vietnam? i'm sickened by the routing of gaston. it is time to think things over before embarking on debt and worse, because if war doesn't solve anything, defeat changes everything. now it's not just fans, but indeed it's many countries that are expressing better comments as to what have been the long term achievements when we've witness foreign troops in afghanistan for so many years. this is completely humiliating for the west. we assembled the most incredible, technologically advanced lines. the world is ever seen and were being defeated by an insurgency that armed with a k 40 sevens and p. jeez. this will be the biggest own goal made by the west. so far this century, the humanitarian disaster that's about to unfold will be kansas straw fake. the migration challenges will be huge. we will see further terrorist attacks. at the moment, there's no clear statement as to whether or not countries plan to recognize the

taliban as the official government of afghanistan. we have heard from the british prime minister boys johnson urging countries not to act by laterally in terms of recognizing that taliban, what he wants to see is a kind of united front with like minded countries responding in the same way. and he believes that that will be the way to prevent counties done from becoming a breeding ground for further terrorist activity in the past 10 years and less. we've had just every now and again, an exodus of refugees and migrants flooding into europe. now it looks like it's going to start all over again. do you think europe can handle another wave of this? is the $1000000.00 question. many people here don't want to see a repeat of what happened. 56 years ago with the migration crisis that unfolded. then and certainly speaking to people here on the streets of paris, many of them are nervous that we could be seeing a dish, a room,

a piece of that migration crisis. again, i pause europe at south coast. the continent is split particularly in terms of what to do with african refugees who've made their way. yeah. but actually don't have the white papers in terms of remaining in us as refugees. we did see a number of countries, right. and later to the european commission, insisting that they have the right to same back to afghanistan, those african refugees who don't fit the criteria. but subsequent to that, we did see a number of countries backtrack. so we should be seeing the slips inside europe itself in terms of what to do with these migraines. the main concern being expressed by european countries is that they don't have the capacity actually to handle another huge wave of migration. the clock has run out on how long we can wait to adopt the complete overhaul of europe's migration and asylum rules we need . now at the moment they ask gun richer community comprises about 10 per sent here

in france, that is the 2nd largest refugee community. after the syrians, we are expecting the president emanuel crohn to address the nation at 8 o'clock this evening local time on the situation in afghanistan. so it will be interesting to see what exactly he has to say at that point. while most foreign diplomatic missions are closing in cobble, the russian embassy is one of the few that chosen to remain operational. the russian ambassador says that the african military, that used to guard the embassy of gone and telephone fighters now in the place, the invoice who have counted and told us about the situation, their income that you have stored high witnesses, say that a group of anom, canada members approached the afghan police squads who offered to hand over their weapons, which was done than the ministry of defense and internal affairs of the afghan special services actually dissolved themselves. president gunny 1st fled from his pants and then left afghanistan in the late afternoon. the power vacuum has

certainly been felt there were shots being fined in the city bomb. people walking around and there is the smell of burning. it's impossible to say that the situation has totally collapsed, as almost all the adult population and many teenagers had weapons in their hands here before the events. and it was never calm in the city. the main thing is that the taliban, as they vowed a set up for a peaceful transition of power, they guarantee the security of foreign diplomatic missions, including our embassy. of course, we can't ignore what's happening in the city and the situation affects our work. we carried out a very serious set of measures to strengthen our security in advance. and currently there are no immediate threats to our team and our facilities, therefore, will continue with our work here in a calm, regular mode. and recent days, we've started receiving appeals from russian citizens of african origin, living in a bowl. they want to move to russia. these issues we carefully studied and will try to help

the.
