well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the can use here, and i'll see to national at least 5 people have reportedly been killed. cobble airport in afghan. this done the news coming shortly after i'm verified. video emerged on line showing us soldiers using what they called preventative fire report to just the victims they had been killed at a stand paid. people rushed to get out of the country. chaotic situation of the pool comes as the taliban is back in total control of afghan, the son following the capture of the countries capital on sunday. this fall as a week of rapid territorial gains by the surgeon. the time is in russia to evacuate every us citizen from the country. america was

a brave face on his 20 years death help officials advocating the withdrawal and insisting the lengthy mission in the country have been nothing but a success. european states also evacuate nationals from carnival race concerns about a potential flood of refugees coupled with a new terrorist threat. ah, thanks so much for joining us here on see if we continue special coverage this monday. the dramatic events that are unfolding enough gown is done over the past 24 hours with a ton of non declaring an end of war in the country. that's after his fight is effectively captured every major city, including the capital cargo. it means that after nearly 20 years, the entire nation is now back under the control of the militant group.

the well, there are unconfirmed ripples stating at least 5 people have been killed at the capitals airports. you may find these images disturbing. the building is going to be seen on the ground to the airport this morning for the you just come after unverified video emerged on line, reportedly capturing the moment us troops opened what they called preventative fire . not confirmed. if it led to the death of those people was us soldiers say they only 5 into the air. so reports to just the victim's name being killed in a stampede, as people were rushing towards plains to get out of the country. this is paula. earlier on sunday nights is the only part of the city that still remains out of taliban hands. thousands you see desperately searching for an opportunity to leave

. commercial flights have again been suspended after they resumed airports. now the only option to get out of the country is all border post. the said to be on the taliban controls, while insurgents to seize the presidential palace in carville after president gone, he fled the country. the taliban says that it will shortly declare islamic and the rest of a canister work. and recently a local news agency called total claimed a ton of militants have stormed its office and cobble. they entered the compound and seize the weapons of security stuff. we spoke with a local journalist about the development. i haven't called the information from a friend to the new group of to tyler bond or told him use compound. we don't have a information that's what's happening in the news. but we are watching the tv. it's running out on break, but yet might be some misuse inside of the news. mike,

mike, mike, mike, mike, talk with the response about news stuff. maybe they have some kind of instruct, shot kind of limit. that's what it to know. but there's still, we don't have any kind of information that way. so let me know what for the telephone interview until noon, it will be known later in trying to use compound where damage to the mcdaniel damage to feed them. so it's peach and also with a hard to promise not to talk about leaders and it's all about responsible earlier in the statements. this is the north part of an groups but has 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. and sunday after rounds and talks, president chef gonna reside something he confirmed on his facebook page. he said

that the move was to avoid bloodshed is departure was part of a piece stale proposed by the taliban conflict to repose just these now one of 2 neighboring countries, tajikistan, or beckett on over both countries deny those claims. this video report alicia is inmates released by the taliban from the country's largest jail early. they also see the background military prison located 25 kilometers north of the capital. post claim about $5000.00 convicts were set free. mostly taliban fighters ready to join the cell and this city circulating on line shows the taliban setting up a roadblock between jol about and cobbler. people reported it being checked for documents with men without bid being asked if they all, most it's all about ramped up as offensive in april following jo, buttons, confirmation. he was pulling out american troops. and as you can see in 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 knew the

was about the fears of many afghan citizens. the taliban says there is nothing to be afraid of. representative of the group still viewed as a terrorist organization by most states around the world has addressed the nation. because i'm going to be diplomatic institution to 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 people, the process of power transition. if people land ongoing, my great request to the people of cobble is to come to their workplaces, open markets, and shops, local and international organizations are requested to continue their activities as long suffering people to really. meanwhile, the use of ministration is again increase. the number of troops is sending into afghanistan to evacuate american citizens and additional $1000.00. now being sent

on top of the 5000 already allocated over the next 2 days, while helicopters and planes were seen flying over the afghan capital, as nater sought to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country. thousands of others trying to follow seats . the u. s. embassy and the capital load its flag after all staff were transferred to the apple. back in washington, d. c. a last crowd gathered outside the white house. people were voicing concerns over the fall of the african government and the true withdrew. waving, asking flags and holding signs, proclaiming america betrayed the afghan people and demanding the country open. his borders to them immediately. earlier on tv, he's done a totally go to see, show you in the studio to discuss how the taliban strength is being viewed in america. or we can do is just speculate as to how trump would have could have, might have handled the withdrawal would have been better and would have been worse . there's no way of telling because trumps 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 the brave fighters of afghanistan. the taliban 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, have ganeth 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. it is none. because you have the afghan troops have 300000 well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 tale mon 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 talib and troops posing next to home, the next 2 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 letters regarding the 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 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 former are going will veterans who took part in the training and there's all sorts of stories claiming that. well, they just, they just didn't one 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 is just run the will they hold the city of at old? 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 the 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. 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 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, that wasn't billions of dollars, it was closer to 2 trillion dollars. this is what the, how, how different experts estimate the cost of more of us when the taliban, if you factor in inflation and such things with interest rates. but yes, 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 gaston, trying to hide to hunt down some, a ban ludden over 911 terrorist attacks. of course, have they captured us on the lot 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, the stablished and funded and trained as well. obviously. well, the taliban turned out to be the turned out to be much better students than the regular african army. well, the return to the telephone is a huge concern for those who've been working for the coalition forces over the years so much. so some of been taking desperate measures and a bit to leave the country. you may find these pictures. now, distressing unverified footage on social media. claiming to show someone falling from a plane as it was taking off from campbell airport. it's time to allow the person to be hiding in the under carriage of the aircraft. but there's other objects we're also seeing falling from the plane. it's not yet being confirmed whether someone died get more perspective on the recent developments in afghanistan from local journalist blog. so worry join says welcome below and hope you keep in safe. we've seen pictures, very desperate ones from the airport and cobble people,

try me any way they can just to get forced their way onto a plane seems seemingly no kind of supervision of who gets on to those those planes know check the documentation. what's the situation like now in the capital? well, there are several 1000 people now since yesterday. the number increase today as well, which includes women and children. these are people who serve whether u. s. military and other western countries. they are desperately trying to get on planes that are not dead. and the american soldiers, how fired them. you know, there are some of the fatalities. there are more than 50 people wounded on the other side of the airport or the parameters the dead. these people are fearful about their lives. so this is an incredibly tragic scene. this is heartbreaking, especially when we found out from eye witnesses at least 2 lines who had hidden,

and some parts of the plane fell from the skies and instantly died. when the plan was taken off, just shows you where i want to come to that panic. obviously a fear of the taliban is very evident, but the telephone themselves seem very insistent that life will continue as normal . they want people to go back to the businesses, carry on with, with their jobs, are trying to establish law and order. they say they stablish to curfew, understand, and 10 pm to 4 am. is that something that you expect to be repeated again today? what. busy we have heard from the taliban instructing that fight does not to go into people's homes and not to really engage in education and of in the attacks. the thought of i'm say this now and i missed the extended by the taliban dinner. just high about a lot of other that everyone should feel safe. the thought about have been collected weapons, armored vehicle and other vehicle from you know,

form. and then there's a volume in senators and other officials saying that this belongs to the public. taliban are also trying to establish contact, which they have now managed to do so between the police headquarters in cobble and the different stations, police stations because they want to make sure that there's no looting of lines of interest that hundreds of millions of dollars in small and bigger businesses. so there are fears there concerns, but so far the city is called me, let's see what type of government we are looking at. who like leads the all of our government at the top? it's been notable. the telephone has an english speaking spokesperson this, this time around, seems like there's enough to be made on the payoff front. and as i understand a few hours ago, there was a news agency that if i pronounce it correctly, the tolo news agency said on twitter, his office had been taken over by taliban military. what do you make of that noise at one time, most prominent and biggest television station. the other one walked in and to the

tv station collected the government issued weapons that are provided to the security team over the last many years. and the top one according to the employees . busy of the television was. busy a striking of light tone and they said that they would look after the security of the station. do you have any concerns about the freedom of the press in the future for journalism in the country? we have not seen any restrictions imposed by the taliban. you know, they have a short everyone that they should just continue living here. so let's see what type of government is on form for me here on below. appreciate your time. thanks for the de local janice below saw worry that in while the 1st batch of british troops arrived in campbell on saturday to safeguard nationals and helped relocate former africans stuff. $600.00 soldiers are expected in total and other european states have evacuating their nationals in suspending diplomatic missions, denmark of norway temporarily shut the shut compound germany of finland,

closing the facilities because of the deteriorating situation. among 60 countries of cold, enough count has done to ensure the safety of those who want to leave given the deteriorating security situation, we support a work into secure and colon all parties to respect and facilitate the safe and orderly departure of foreign nationals and afghans who wish to leave the country, those in positions of power and authority across have gone on their responsibility and accountability for the protection of human life and property. and for the immediate restoration of security and civil order. my colleague, voice, she spoke with anti curse from paul asleep, and europe's reaction to the full volcanic stuff. 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 sun on the porch. and here they 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 st. reinforcements to the united arab emirates, to facilitate with the evacuation process. now one 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 sick and by the routing of galveston. it is time to think things over before embarking on data and wars. because if word doesn't solve anything, defeat changes everything. now it's not just france,

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 we're being defeated by an insurgency that is armed with a k 40 sevens and all 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 catastrophic. the migration challenges will be huge. we will see further terrorist attacks. at the moment, there is 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, both johnson urging countries not to act bilaterally 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 accident of refugees and migrant 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 dis, a room, a piece of that migration crisis. again, as far as europe itself goes, 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 later to the european commission, insisting that they have the right to stay back to the dentist and those african refugees who don't fit the criteria. but subsequent to that, we did see a number of countries backtrack. so we certainly seen 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 richard community comprises about 10 per sent here in france. it is the 2nd largest refugee community after the syrians. we are expecting the president re manual kron 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 and cobble, the russian embassy is one of the few that chosen to remain operational, the russian on bus. the said the africa military used to the used to god, the embassy had gone. and taliban fighters now and place envoy to afghanistan told us about the situation and called the chief store. witnesses say that a group of anom ton about members approached the afghan police scott, who offered to hand over their weapons, which was done than the ministry of defense and internal affairs of the african special service is actually dissolved themselves. president connie 1st fled from his palace and then left afghanistan in the late afternoon. the power vacuum has certainly been felt there are shots being fined in the city bomb. people are 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 the 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 target once again holding the reins of power in the country. the see, the post, the cripple is, is now live in fear of potential revenge. so what will happen to them? we got opinion from a range of analysts. and i don't think the situation in this country of the anytime soon, even in mid term. because that kind of long don't want to be

a part of the government not want to do all the different groups of the state, but want to have all power in that one is done and has to be see, the telephone won't landslide victory. but they're telling bon movement was and they just gave back and they just gave a couple and a lot to me to tell one of these out to fight. and i don't think that would be lost in that situation is where we're back. and they just show us is that is a hard power reach. presidential the white and failed to play. certainly a lot of anger among atkins at the moment. much of it channeled on the, on his clothes, on too much of that channel that the american,

the international community for abandoning the once again, people are afraid because they've been here before. they don't know whether to trust the taliban spokesman's promises about a move in peaceful transition, but there's going to be a general be. but there are people who are, are justifiably concerned because they were working for the government where they were working in ministries and they're afraid of retribution. let's also ember that . there are those who say that the money isn't one group anymore. it's not a centralized body. and that the negotiators may not necessarily have control over the fighters on the ground, that there is a kind of divide, that there's the multiple telephone rather than one group the the

the the, the, the news i'm action or attention you're watching, going underground over the past week, so go, mainstream media has been waking up to the potential extinction of humanity. after landmark i dcc report issued a warning of hell on earth because of climate change. while this,

while the new cold war ratchets up, the chances of extinction. but another man made existential threat, nuclear annihilation. so is humanities, intelligence, and collective knowledge, also the root of its own destruction, and the only beneficiaries of billionaires looking to escape the planet in private rockets. joining me now is renown philosopher, an author ac grayling. his new book, the frontiers of knowledge, explores the progress, periods and future of humanity when it comes to enlightenment. thank you so much, professor grayling for coming back gone. if anyone thinks that they don't need to read this book, you imply that they have the only themselves to be to blame for not being blown to bits by a pentagon in the nation drone. why? why is this not as it's eric? well, because i'm here. i can quote, the graph that forced always used in his novels, you know, only connect that if you are able to connect things together a bit, make better sense of them, your much more likely to make good decisions about what to do. you know, there's a wonderful.
