a success. more european states evacuate the national some capital and raised concerns about a potential flood of refugees. coupled with a new terror threat. ah, the great have you with this is arty international. this continued on special coverage, this monday of dramatic events that have been unfolding enough canister over the past 24 hours. the taliban that has now declared an end of war in the country, that's after its fight as effectively captured every major city, including the capital capital. and it means that after nearly 20 years, the entire nation is now back under control of the medicine group. there are unconcerned the

other concern reports that at least 5 people have been killed. the capitals airport we're going to show you some engine images. now that i must warn you may find disturbing the. c bodies have been seen on the ground to the airport this morning for those images. coming after unverified video emerged on line, the reportedly captured the moment us troops opened what they themselves called preventative fire. at the airport is not confirmed. it's not led to any of the death, those people, the us soldiers say that they were only shooting into the air. and some reports of also suggest the victims may be killed in a stampede, as people rushed toward plains to get out of the country. this is how the apple looked on sunday night. this is the only parts of the city that still remains out of taliban control. thousands of people desperately searching for an opportunity to meet commercial flights. had been suspended again after previously being resumed. the airport is now the only option to get out of the country. the border post said

to be on the taliban controls and the return of the taliban is a huge concern for those who are working with coalition forces over the years so much. so someone taking desperate measures to get out of the country. you may find this footage coming up distressing. now this is unverified videos on social media, claiming to show some i'm falling from a plane as it was taking off on car blackboard. it's kind online the person to be hiding in the under carriage of the craft. however, as other objects will also seen falling from the plain, it's not yet been confirmed whether somebody has been killed. the security council held an emergency session over afghanistan, the country's envoy, speaking of the taliban, conducting house to house searches, saying that lives were in danger. representatives of the country is also expressed concern for the well being of the people in the region and those who want to leave it. russia voice stress, the importance of addressing potential threats that exist in the country. now

somebody isn't we spoke with, we are still concerned by the ongoing presence of terrorist, french, and spanish stone, which can spit across the borders thus threatened the security of neighboring countries in central asia concern. also the flows of refugees across the border. it created an additional burden for jackie stone, was beckett's down around in pakistan. not to mention the risk of fighters infiltrating the region by pretending to be refugee as opposed to miss school. so of course, i'll tell him openings in new york. caleb, take us through what was said at the security council. sure, well the 15 member body that leads the united nations convened and 1st heard from the secretary general antonio gutierrez, called on the un security council to use all the tools that it's disposal to deal with the terrorist threat to the global community as it relates to afghanistan, here's what he said. we've witness time and again,

how taliban have broken their promises and commitments in the past. we have seen gruesome images of parliament's mass executions, of military personnel and target killings of civilians and kandahar and other big cities. mister president, we cannot allow this to happen in cobbled which has been the last refuge for many people escaping violence and taller bonds revenge attacks. cobble residents are reporting that parliament have already started house to house searches in some neighborhoods, registering names and looking for people and their target list. now it's also important to note we heard from the u. k. representative who emphasized violations of human rights and atrocities committed by the taliban. emphasizing that it may be necessary for the u. k. to cut off its assistance to afghanistan due to these violations and they would not want to aid the taliban or help enable it's

atrocities. meanwhile, the representative of the united states took the floor and spoke of the united states as if it was a champion of human rights with deep humanitarian concerns for the afghan people. here's what we heard from the u. s. representative must speak with one voice. what we need to all do more and the time to step up is now. we urge afghanistan's neighbors and others in the region and beyond to give refuge to be temporary or permanent to afghans attempting to flee. and together we must do everything we can to help afghan stands to help afghans who wish to leave and see refuge. now, many observers in the international community heard these words is somewhat hypocritical . arguing that the way the united states handled the current situation shows that there is a kind of a lack of concern the usa could, by all means be preventing this humanitarian moment is big moment of desperate

concern. but united states is doing nothing now. jen, saki, the white house spokesperson is currently out of her office, and joe biden has been silent and on vacation now, joe biden is expected to speak later today, but he has been pretty silent. the situation in afghanistan has boiled over and there's been a torrent of criticism on social media and elsewhere of the by, in ministration for how they're handling the situation in kabul, here's some of what's been said. president biden's decisions have a hurtling toward and even was equal to the humiliating full of saigon in 1975. we're basically gave up on the african government not just now, but all the way back to the start of these talks with president biden. did was to embrace it, he owns it. it was a huge foreign policy failure with general army secretions to sheriff 7 month into this administration. everything points to complete collapse. now at this

point, the meeting has concluded we have heard from the representative of russia. the representative of russia spoke about the possible security concerns in the region, refugees, etc. we are in many countries, are raising their concerns about humanitarian issues, resulting from the situation and the pending fall of cobble. so the current moment, the international community seems deeply concerned. all eyes were on the security council as they met, but all eyes globally seemed to be on afghanistan. as the crisis there develops, with a lot of questions being asked about the united states, its intentions, and what will be the future of the country. is kellum open, i'm taking a live from new york. thank you. and a local news agency called toler said the taliban militant stormed its office and cobble. they entered the compound and seized weapons of security stuff. earlier i heard from a local journalist about the latest developments in afghan. this done now that the

taliban empower other bonds are very adamant in quite public so that there isn't a necessity and that no one would be targeted. no one would face in a traditions, the thought on the whole instructed the fighters not to go inside people's homes. i was looking at a statement under twitter page of how much i had the official spokesman riding that some people who had gone in and collected armoured vehicles and weapons and other stuff what identified. and no one has the permission to go inside people's homes that everyone should feel secure inside their homes. what we have to see in weight is how the thought about transition. now, from fighting into governance into politics. we have to remember. taliban are no more of the shadow government. they have got the control and we are still not clear what sort of government we might be looking at. you know what that government

might look like, who will be part of it? will it only be the taliban? but there's also talk of curfew tonight, for example, this top off, you know, majors preventing looting and cows in the city. this is still a city of at least 6000000 people who are, you know, thousands of streets. and then there are galaxy. and that the how many, because i didn't actually airport where, you know, hundreds of the women and children tried to get onto any plan that they could. and they were fired by the american forces. dad, at least 5 fatalities. more than 50 people have been wounded. and on the parameters of the airport, it is all about who are present. so it is not only chaos, but it's also tragedy. and that's how i want to start looks after 20 years of massive investments by the u. s. and other than blood integration, just few hours ago, the total news agency said on twitter,

this office had been seized by members of the taliban. do we know what the situation is there now? was told was the office of one of the most popular and b television station. i saw the taliban coming in, collecting the weapons that the government had provided for the prediction team of the law over the years. because there are various risks, you know, but the tone was very polite and these taliban promised to low employees that they will provide security. so no one is complaining. it is just the development which the laws, you know, employees including the ceo of movie group side, most in the has confirmed on the printer page. while the use administration is again, increase the number of troops of sending into afghanistan to evacuate american citizens. and additional $1000.00 to now being sent on top of the $5000.00 were the allocated over the next 2 days. will help us and blaine's have been seen flying

over the africa and capital as nato sought to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country thousands more, trying to follow us embassy in the capital load its flag after all staff were transferred to the airport. bring it now dr. me a small town whose director general the south asian strategic stability institute university. us in is lama, but very good to have you on doctor. first of all the speed at which the taliban is taking control of the country clearly surprised many certainly us officials. how surprised the i'm sorry i didn't harry your question because that's okay. i'm happy to have to repeat it. i'm just talking about the speed at which the taliban has taken control of afghanistan. certainly surprised a lot of people. did it surprise you?

now, of course not. because i think the war had been, the war was the united states for the last 20 years. and that's kind of fun, was based on a wrong assumption where they mixed counter terrorism with counter insurgency as the same goal. the fact that the mattress, the taliban presented the people on ground and the masses of ground where they talked to foreign invasion was actually not presenting their aspirations. and henceforth the speed which we saw indicated 2 things. one that the national army was not actually led by an effective command because according to the deal and the structure which the national army was constructed, it was supposed to remain under. they took command. if americans left them the command had left, then the soldiers were not going to fight. and secondly, with a ship any also leaving what we saw as that is shaquanda plus 3 people. so this meant that the locals, the people who he was representing, he didn't even bother to take them. this effectively means that in different

provinces, province after province, the thought about him negotiated with the locals, and henceforth it was a bloodless school. and it also showed the fact that actually the people of have got a song, the masses were not very fond of the manner in which the western actually tried to generate the company on ground. based on the discussions that took place between us officials and the taliban, you seem to be concerned that africa might become a safe haven. the terrorist organizations, i mean, the telephone itself still viewed as a terrorist group by, by most countries around the world, is that likely that the terrorists could be drawn into afghanistan? while i think this is going to be a question of a glass being half full and half empty, because really the question would be now with the international community actually invest in beast for a change. and if that is the case, then they would have to go by the national countries approach. you know,

you have seen countries like focus on russia, china, iran, still there because if you would, you leave the next. it's gone government. if it is to be lead under the taliban regime, and that's going to be taliban lead. if you're not going to help them develop a piece and make a full transition, then effectively there is no leverage on the watering faction, which is now in control. and in couple, if the world really wants to, this does not becomes a safe haven and there is no in fighting and there is no civil waterford to follow . then a lot of investments now has to be done in state building and a lot of investment would have to be done in terms of helping that actually ensure that the state actually functions add as, as a, as a normal international state. but for that they will need assistance. they will need capacity building, but most importantly they will need your placement for that be roxy, which is left and left the country because that is where the regional countries and that's where the international community has to come forward. and also, let's not forget that there is $9200000000.00 in the gone treasury,

which has been left behind, which would therefore have gone sustenance of the gone government assistance. so if there is no effective you know, negotiating done on this issue, then we do have a real possibility that it will lead to a war like situation where drugs, human trafficking and war lot isn't, may become the main state if legitimacy is not afforded to the government, which is right now in power under the taliban supremacy. 20 years of war, the telephone and i stroll them back in power. how would you assess america's legacy, the its saigon and repeat? the only difference is this, at this time, they will to left their allies, the much negotiated much principled boston of the united states in the war of terror. but most importantly, the partners in the ward and from what had left the people of going to son of

playing a flea concept of the notion of victory. this is not a notion of victory. we started to counter terrorism, then turn into counter insurgency, then turn into actually having better write better education and better human rights for the women and children of a kind of son. the fact of the matter is this. you can't have counterterrorism. encounter insurgency in the same boat, because both of them are done through different tools. but counter insurgency they needed state building. that is something which was missing and we did see a lot of corruption. we did see a lot of money to lay out. we did see that the con government actually was not trusted by all the aid aid giving agencies for that matter, even the given government. and a lot of these programs were run by the government in parallel. what did the people from going to some actually have beyond the government and coupled very less and this is the reason that we saw that the resurgence fell upon towards cobble was not met with any resistance and ground either by the people or by the forces in power

that shows that the people are going to san a ready for change, but that change has to be on that. and that means, unfortunately, for the rest of the world, the warring factions, people who fought it to actually now on the walk. and on the piece, and the question is, will the world actually own the piece and actually help and provide a stability to one? so thank you very much. my guest is our doctor maricel, aton director general of the south asian strategic stability institute university. that's in islamic. thank you so much. looking at washington d. c, a large crown gathered outside the white house people voicing concern over the fall of africa and government in the troop withdrawal waving, ask on flags and holding signs, proclaiming america betrayed to the african people. so demanding that the country opened, his borders to them immediately was easiest on off joins my colleague who received it in the studio to discuss how the telephone strong 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 trumps no longer president and 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 us to a new just short of 20 years. that's 2 decades. if you're an african 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 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 al qaeda's leadership taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders. the path to peace is now set before the. 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 that canister. now inevitable. it 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? again, something like 75000 taliban. it is not enough. 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've 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. is it going to weapons? when aircraft, not only did the us fail to dismantle the taliban? as they had promised? 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 getting 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 that fancy weapons. but the thing is, you also have to have the willpower to fight. and apparently this is what they 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 the world, they've learned that to ask a question. like how long will they be able to hold? a city is wrong 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 fool. 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 lead 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. 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 ask and 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, 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, one of the taliban if you factor in inflation and such things of interest rates. 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, the entered guy nathan, trying to hide 200 on a summer ban ludden over 911 terrorist attacks. have they captured a sound lot 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, 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. will you case? foreign secretaries been slammed not cutting his holiday short. earlier as the taliban was seizing f cornerstone. dominic rob returned to britain only on sunday. correspondent shadows dashed reports from london. but 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 said the president should be incredibly proud of what is the chief in the region? obviously in light of this complete, tiny bon, take a very questioning response. indeed. and today, the prime minister is hosting a cobra meeting. that's

a meeting where the cabinet should all be attending the foreign secretary dominic rob is known to be seen as he's on holiday. and obviously it's his job to try and deal with these international issues, particularly in regards to foreign policy that has respond to instigate as a whole host of criticism against him. 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 went in under the international pretense of a pro,

humanitarian and pro democracy mission. however, all carefully but the very fact and speed of this taliban take many people point to the defeat for the military. politically. the sound 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 to will activists that have this point of view. but even some tory back benches in government, this is completely humiliate 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 kansas straw fake. the migration challenges will be huge. we will see further terrorist attacks. 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 for in fact the idea is around 122-1500 throughout the next few days till the total $4000.00 and brought home. but we've seen absolute, chaotic scenes cobble. what we do know is the military side of the port in the british side, where the british planes are in the airport at this point in time. secure how as the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking, how are you today? in a radio interview became a very, very emotional. he even became quite choked up. some people will 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 understand because it's 20 years of sacrifice

is what it is. parliament is being recalled back from some a recess. that's on wednesday, i think i'll be thinking of everything from the war on terra's gender and foreign policy in the 1st place to the very fact that 5 weeks ago, the prime minister of foreign johnson said to the tale, bon takeover would be out of the question. all this li, 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 sort of these refugees over the last 18 years, millions of people in australia. so i 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 persons. most of all, of course, $50000.00 civilians died during this 18 year occupation. 500 british troops and many people. question, what was it all for the the the ah ah.
