me the can use or not see at least 5 people the reporter living killed and call blessed with enough gown to use them. sure. they're and verify a video of those on line showing us soldiers using they call preventative fire. both reports to just the victims may have been killed in a stampede is people rushed to get out of the country. the celtic situation of the pool comes of the telephone is back in total control, the buff get this done. following the capture of the current capital on sunday, the week of rapid territorial gains by the insurgents in time as it rushes to evacuate every american citizen from the country. the u. s. was a brave face on his 20 years, the competition advocating the true withdrawal and insisting the flag the mission

in the country has been nothing but a success. european states also with the national cannibal amaze, concerns about a potential flood of refugees coupled with a new terrace. right. ah me, junior this afternoon, you watching on tv internet. we continue with our special cover. it is monday of the dramatic events that have been unfolding enough canister over the past 24 hours for the taliban has now declared an end of war in the country. that's after it's fine, has effectively captured every major city, including the capital. cobble means after nearly 20 years,

the entire nation is now back under control of the militant group. the while they are unconcerned with all stating at least 5 people have been killed at the capitals airport. you may find these images disturbing. the bodies have been seen on the ground to the airport this morning with images come up and verified video emerged on line, reportedly capturing them and us troops opened what they call preventative fire at the port is not confirmed if it led to the death those people us so just say that they were only shooting into the air from reports also suggest the victims and been killed in a stampede is people rushed towards plains in the bid to get out of the country. this is how the airport looked earlier on sunday night is the only part of the city that still remains out. as taliban control,

thousands have been seen desperately searching for an opportunity to leave. commercial flights have again been suspended after they've been resume in port is now the only option to get out of the country with all border posts said to be under taliban control. one insurgents of seize the presidential palace and cobble after president ghani fled the country. telephone says that it will shortly declare islamic embers of afghanistan. i spoke with local journalists, belong, saw worry about the situation at campbell appleton recent developments in general in the country. 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 and they are desperately trying to get on a plane that are not dead. and the american soldiers, how high did them you know, they're similar fatality is more than 50 people wounded on the other side of the

airport or the parameters the thought about 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 outlines who had hidden and some parts of the plane from the skies and instantly died when the plan was taken off just shows you where. ringback i want to come to that panic. obviously a fear of the taliban is very evident. but the taliban themselves seem very insistent that life will continue as normal. they want people to go back to the businesses carry on with with the job. is that trying to establish law and order, they say they stablish to curve you 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 the 5 does not to go into people's homes and not to really engage in retribution and of india tax. and

there's now an amnesty extended by the taliban. shanghai about the law of the other . one should feel safe, the thought of i have been collecting weapons, armoured vehicles and other vehicles from you know, from him in the fall him in senators. busy 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 cobbler and the different stations police stations because they want to make sure that there's no looting outlines of interest that 100 millions of dollars are 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 lives that all of our government at the top. on sunday, after rounds of talks, president connie resigned something he confirmed on facebook. he said that he was to avoid bloodshed and his depart. she was part of a p still proposed by the taliban conflicts and reports just these now in one of 2

neighboring countries to just on or back is done. the both countries deny those claims and this so she's circulating on lines of the taliban setting a thing in roadblock between july above and cobble people reported it being checked the documents with me down bids being asked to say and a local news agency called colo says talib militants of stormed his office and cobble, they entered the competencies, the weapons of security stuff. some of our ramped up it's offensive in a profiling jo, binds confirmation, he was pulling out american troops. and as you can see in just a matter of months, the group successfully swept across the entire country. take a look now at how events unfolded the

you case, foreign secretary has been slammed for not cutting his holiday. short says the taliban was seizing afghanistan. dominic rob, return to britain only on sunday. still i feel,

and the vase correspondence show the edwards dash state. good afternoon, shantia a lot of indignation and direct to dominant. rob tell us more. well the question here in the united kingdom is, where is the government and where is the leadership in responding to the crisis in the stone? in fact, the last time we heard from the prime minister of ours johnson last week, he says, a britain should be incredibly proud of what it's achieved in the region. obviously in light of this complete, tiny bon take a very questioning response indeed. and now the prime minister is holding an emergency cobra meeting. that's a meeting where the cabinet should all be attending. however, the foreign secretary dominic rob is new to be seen. office is his job to try and deal with these international issues, particularly in regards to foreign policy. but actually he's still on holiday. so the foreign secretary to go a while during an international crisis of this magnitude is nothing short of

a shameful. i think it was amazing, staggering that the foreign secretary was still on holiday, while f canister was collapsing to the taliban. you've got to be on duty during that sort of period where we're so deeply and intimately involved in it. we haven't heard from the foreign secretary and about a week despite this being the biggest single foreign policy disasters and suez. so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking over say the united kingdom has been part of this nature occupation over the last 18 years, the brit 1st. and initially when to under the international pretense of a pro, humanitarian and pro democracy mission. however, all you believe, but the very fact and speed of this taliban take as many people point do the defeat 1st. militarily, politically, militarily wise oversee the very group that the boots on the ground occupational thought to drive out is now the very groups in power and politically. the sounds is

a very humiliating time for the west and that foreign policy. because the west has always predicated its entire regimes on being the most robust and it's not just on t will activists that have this point of view, but even some tory back benches in government. 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 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 or the prime minister, as i say, is hosting the cobra meeting. today the government is prioritizing within that meeting, trying to get people back safely as they can. and we know over the weekend,

600 troops deployed as a rescue mission to try and get these people back safely. that includes british nationals, but also gone is that help assist the british army during the occupation already around 300 people have been flown back. the idea is around 122-1500, throughout the next few days till the total $4000.00 brought home. but we've seen absolute, chaotic scene call for many people. so make onto the tarmac onto the runways, trying to get on to any play, no matter where indeed they are headed as even being reports of some depth cobble port as well. but what we do know is the military side of the board, as in the british side, where the british planes are in the airport on this point in time, are secure. however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking how did today . and a radio entity became a very, very emotional, he even became quite choked up he himself is

a soldier and he said some people might not be able to get back. somebody get back and we will have to do our best and countries the processes people. why do you feel it? so personally mr. wallace can undersold because it's 20 is a sacrifice. is what it is. now, parliament is being recalled back from some research on wednesday. it begins at 9 30 in the morning, some 5 hours will be dedicated to a debate on this ongoing crisis. i'll be speaking of everything from the war on terror as gender and foreign policy in the 1st place to the very fact that 5 weeks ago the prime minister forest johnson said that a bon takeover would be out of the question. obviously, that is actually wrong at this point. so many people will be questioning the prime minister on all of that. but what about the intelligence that provided this nato,

ex, this in the 1st place? and crucially, what will happen to all of these refugees over the last 18 years, millions of people in actually saw have been displaced. and now we are set to see quite undoubtedly another refugee crisis, and as much pressure here in the united kingdom to provide safe and legal passages, but in light of quite a hostile context from the home office in terms of its refugee processes. there's a lot of criticism against the government at this point. so what we'll see on wednesday is a huge array of purchases and most of all, of course, 50000 civilians died during this 18 year occupation. 500 british troops. many people, question, what was it all for? losing your life from london shut edwards, dash to that. while the us administration is again, increase the number of troops ascending into afghanistan to evacuate. american citizens an additional $1000.00. now being sent on top of the $5000.00 already allocated over the next 2 days. while the companies in plains was seen flying over

the african capital, as nato sought to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans are already left. thousands of others are trying to follow us embassy and the capital load is flag. after all staff were transfers to the airport like washington d. c. a large crowd gathered outside the white house, p who are voicing concerns over the fall of the african government and the treat withdrawal. the waving outcome flags, and howling science, proclaiming america betrayed the afghan people and also demanding the country open its borders to them immediately. earlier i think it's down to my colleague roy to discuss how the taliban triumph 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 trump's no longer president and part of 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 african teenager and 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 and our allies, and the brave fighters of afghanistan, taliban regime is coming to an end. we broke the tale 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 is 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 there. now inevitable is none. because you have the afghan troops have 300000 well equipped as well as crypt his any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 taliban. it is not enough. so this is the sort of people who were 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, obliterates the, 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 humvees,

next to black hawks. all the best equipment in the world and, you know, worked a few years ago. all they could mount was a machine gun on a truck and now they're mounting. let's go to 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 drive going on, and so many suitcases of cash. you would imagine off the 20 years of old military equipment and all the money that the afghan 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 goodwill 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? the city is wrong. it's just rather will they hold the city 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 they 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 is the 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 are 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 just 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 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 gaston, trying to hide to hunt down some, a ban ludden over 911 terrorist attacks. of course, have they captured a sound a 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 gold 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. well, the taliban turned out to be, they turned out to be much better students than the regular african army. well, the return of the telephone 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 in a bit to leave the country. you may find this footage distressing. unverified pictures on social media claim to show someone falling from a plane as it was taking off from campbell and claimed online. the person has been hiding in the under carriage the craft. however, as other objects were also seen, falling from the plane is not yet confirm whether someone has died. meanwhile, the 1st batch of british troops arrived in carville on saturday to safeguard nationals and relocate former afghans stuff. $600.00 soldiers are expected in total of the european states have been evacuating dad nationals and suspending diplomatic missions, denmark and norway at 10, probably shutting their shed compound, germany,

and fill in the closing that facility, citing the deteriorating situation. a moment 60 countries of court on account is done to ensure the safety of those who want to leave even 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 wish to leave the country. those in positions of power and authority across of dentist 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, re fish i spoke with archie, correspond to pull a slip about europe's 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 media and absolute power team is the securing of both french nationals and african citizens who are there enough counties done on the spot. 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 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 sick and by the routing of galveston. it is time to think things over before embarking on that and worse. because if war doesn't solve anything, defeat changes everything at the moment. there's no clear statement as to whether

or not countries planned 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 the 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 i've gone is 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 life of this? is the 1000000 dollar 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, as far as europe itself goes, the continent is split, particularly in terms of what to do with african refugees who made their way here. 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 have done those african refugees who don't fit the criteria. but subsequently 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 adapt, the complete overhaul of europe's migration and asylum rules we need. now at the

moment they ask gun refugee community comprises about 10 percent here in france. it 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 of the foreign diplomatic missions are closing and cobbled, the russian embassy is one of the few that is chosen to remain operational. the rational and bassett said the africa military had they used to guard, the embassy had gone, and taliban fighters not in that place invoice, to count the son told us about the situation there in cobble sheets ago i have store high witnesses say that a group of anom taliban members approached the afghan police squads who offered to hand over their weapons, which was done that the ministry of defense and internal affairs of the african special service is actually dissolved themselves. president gunny 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 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 we'll

try to help issue the the expected upside of the pandemic kenya is experiencing in the ellison baby boom, 206 with why this kenya have so many allison curves. and how has the panoramic impacted people's lives? there's a wall of ferry big long in any fact he end up killing himself. i don't believe nearly and then you got one via a while and i will proceed. lake i was i didn't get to get the idea.

can you say elected when the mean thing in it? because at that of the when a member who did the they didn't even notice whether they call to do this, but they know they come when it just wasn't go or whatever. did it better. survival got touch bases, here's my goal is going to start at a federal reserve shirt. so there are, you don't know what you took, refrigeration came well, look at the rest the 7 years. so it was kind of the report the

ah ah with ah hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle. unfortunately, we are witnessing a trend in media and they go from one news fiasco to another. the weapons of mass destruction story. the russia gate hoax, hunters, laptop, the app can bounties tail and now the possible cobit lab leak story. why does anyone in their right mind even tune in any more the the cross talking the media. i'm joined by.
