ah, ah least 7 people have reportedly been killed a couple at fort enough down. it's todd when you come to unverified. 6 video, much online, showing us soldiers using what they called preventative. fine. poured summer board suggests the victims may have been killed in the found key. the people rocks to get out of the country. the chaotic situation of the what comes out the taliban is back in total control off down of star, following the capture of the country's capital on sunday. it's what we call rapid territorial gains by the and such in the meantime as it rushes to graduate. every american citizen from the country, the us put the brave face on it 20 years was the top officials advocating the troop

withdrawal uninstalled thing the length, the mission. the country has been nothing but a success the the making sure you never misses story. this is archie international as always. good to have you with us. and we're going to continue all special coverage this monday with the dramatic events that have been unfolding enough chemist on over the last 24 hours. so what is the latest while the taliban has now declared an end of war in the country that's off to it's fighters, effectively captured every major city, including the capital. cobble means that off nearly 20 years, the entire nation is now back under control of the militant group. there are on confirmed report stating at least 5 people have been killed at the capitals port a one. and you may find the following,

which is obsessing the. c bodies can be seen on the ground at the airport this morning. the images came off the unverified video, much online, reportedly capturing the moment us troops opened what they called preventative falling at the airport and not confirmed if that led to the deaths of those people as the us to say they only shot in the some reports suggest the victims may have been killed in the stampede, as people rushed towards plains to get out of the country. well, this is why, here's how the apple looked on sunday night, 2 o'clock, cale. it's the only part of the city that still remains and out over the town of bronze, han thousands can be seen desperately searching for any opportunities to leave. commercial flights have again been suspended off. they were temporarily resumed. the airport is now the only option to get out of the country as a board to post all said to be on debt taliban controls the return of the taliban

is a huge concern for those who have been walking for the coalition. full says over the years, so much so that some have been taking desperate measures to leave the country. a warning he may find the following footage distressing. so this unverified footage on social media claims to show someone fooling from a plane as it was taking off from cobble airport. it's claimed online but the past and had been hiding in the under carriage of the croft how well as all the objects rules, they seem falling from the plain. it's not yet known, or rather being confirmed whether someone was killed. in the meantime, a local news agency called talos says that taliban militants have stormed its office and cobble. they entered the compound and seized weapons of security staff audio. my colleague neil harvey heard from a local just about the latest developments in afghanistan. now that the taliban is empower. dollar bon are very adamant and quite publicly so that there isn't

a necessity and that no one would be targeted. no one would face in their traditions, the thought on the whole instructed their 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 armored 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 and wait 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 to control and we are still not clear what sort of government we might be looking at. you know, what that government of the out about 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 careless in the city. this is still a city of at least 6000000 people who are thousands of streets. and then there are galaxy in that. how many cars i didn't actually airport where, you know, hundreds of the women and children tried to get on to 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 a tragedy. and that's how one of the looks after 20 years of massive investments by the u. s. and other than blood impression, just a 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 tallow over the years because there are various risks, you know, but the tone was very polite and the taliban promised to allow employees that they will provide security. so no one is complaining, it is just the development which the lawyers employ, including the ceo of movie group mercy. and he has confirmed on his trigger page. and the meantime, new and security council has held an emergency session over canister on with the countries envoy. speaking of the taliban conducting how such a thing lives are in danger. representatives of other countries also express concern for the well being of the people in the region and those who want to leave it rushes on. voice stress. the importance of addressing potential threats that

exist in the country. those properties we spoke with, we are still concerned by the ongoing presence of terrorist, french, and spanish stone, which can spread across the borders thus threatened the security of neighboring countries in central asia concern. also the flows of refugees across the border. it's 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 refugees. as the 15 member body that leads the united nations convened there. heard from antonio gutierrez, the un secretary general, who emphasized the need for the security council to use all tools at its disposal to deal with the global terrorist threat as it relates to afghanistan. from there we heard from the special envoy for afghanistan, who described the crisis in the country. we've witness time and again how taliban have broken their promises and commitments in the past. we have seen gruesome images of parliament, math executions of military personnel and target killing 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 in their target list. 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. we need to all. busy 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 f ghana stands to help afghans who wish to leave and seek refuge. now, many observers in the international community heard these words is somewhat hypocritical. arguing that the way the united states handle, the current situation shows that there is a kind of lack of concern to us. they could, by all means be preventing this humanitarian moment. this big moment of desperate concern with 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 biden ministration for how they're handling the situation in cobble. here's some of what's been said, president biden's decisions i was hurtling toward and even was equal to the humiliation full of saigon in 1975 were basically gave up on the african government not just now, but all the way back to the start of these talks, what president biden did was to embrace it. he owns it, it was a huge foreign policy failure with general armies, occasions just show of 7 month inter this administration. everything points to complete collapse. now at this point, the meeting has concluded 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. well, joining us live now as political and economic unless shot bear ross be welcome to the program. now the 1st thing that everyone's talking about is how quickly the taliban took control. the us said a couple of weeks ago or maybe 3 months. cobble will fall. it didn't take 3 months . were you surprised how the speed? not at all. really firstly, good evening. good to be back again. really one got to look at and you're sort of introductory comments and lou to the fact that this is an epic failure of us imperialism in want to spawn. which raises the media question of what this means for the u. s. global. corporate, our is basically what this

d. c means is that it's the biblical defeat, the pharaoh of today has been defeated in practically one time. and this obviously has huge repercussions. and of course, it has that, you know, created a watt wreckage in one is on us war path. however, you know, it really laughable that this year he was with the is hard to match. the us has been the thought, the why live with me as about one have died being made big plays and traumatized with the last 20 yet. so when you s or my own government, you k tools about you might, you might have support. what is bad? are they really fooling the was that there when one is planned for humanitarian purposes? the purpose was, as we all know,

very well that the u. s. they created the more di dean, to get rid of the soviet union from one is and subsequently on the pretext of 911. and ted bombed and created complete rec kids and have work in one spot. so it's extraordinary when london, washington and nate to talk about trying to be, you know, if that see of crocodile tears really at the moment. while talking about this reaction state side, i do want to get your opinion on how well i do this. ready face to huge clash over the withdrawal. i mean, it's hard not to criticize him already for my president, donald trump has cool to a total disgrace. look your view on how this could potentially affect the perception of bite and on his future president. but look, i don't think it's going to have any impact on bite and as a precedent, because the american political system is such that, you know,

foreign failures do not have much impact on, on, on the sort of current incumbent in washington. the reality is that if the economy issues and what hurt the people on the ground in america translate, then that will have some impact. but in reality, i don't think, you know, yes, of course, you know, there would be a future analysis in historical perspective. whether this defeat is, was than what happened inside going back in 1975. all these aspects will come into it, but i don't think by then is any in any way going away. but what we've got to realize that again, mr. trump is being critical of bivens, but that's sort of democratic and republican party sort of congress. they said that they have to hit each other to politically powerpoint. but the reality is

that mr. from initiated this movement, which has translated into a complete defeat off us policy in central asia and west asia. what i think i'd like to remind your view is, is that you know, the whole lot sways of people have coaches and i list political movement. have all reacted and reach the similar conclusion us power bring on the correction. and resistance is the only way forward. and if you look at it in the why, just sort of west asia and context is that iraqi officials also demanded it and to all us truth and bases in their country, syria is reasserting its sovereignty. bis why continued us bombing, but i stand undefeated and left not gone. i still remains respect, logged in and determine. so really, as i said earlier, this is

a biblical moment for, for the pharaoh of today, i was going to ask you about the was of the defense secretary, you in the us because he said, you know what, we gave them 20 years of top training and of top equipment, but at the end, at the end of the day, we couldn't train them to have the will to withstand the taliban. what do you make of that? is that a shifting of blame to think that there is an essence of truth in his was? there is indeed an essence of truth. nevertheless, the taliban, lacking massive pyre fire power, more than sophisticated equipment or thousands of contract is what drove forward based on the murat that they had the internal discipline. and also the reality that they were fighting a foreign force. and any foreign force in any country really cannot spain

for ever their presence. and therefore valuable had the estimate, is that perhaps $75000.00 fight that the ground. why the us at one time with the nato allies had to be $100000.00. to definitely add the bond word defending their comfy and they have defeated a foreign occupy which is starkly, will always happen when there is a foreign applying for in a comfy and the people are defending their 9. what about us down a stone itself? what do you think is going to happen to the country in the future? i mean, most countries in the world view the taliban as a terrorist organization. it's unlikely, but the recognize it's legitimacy isn't. it doesn't not make the country talk a lot harder. i think what we've got to really understand the taliban of 2021. what i would like to quote, perhaps mark to pallet bond or $2.00. colleague tyler bond. whatever you'd like to

use it as a phrase is quite a different organization. they have, as you well know in the last few years, and certainly the last 67 months. pilot bon been having meetings with russia, china, iran, the various countries. washington had fought to insert isolate and they have onto the us, fred, much to their frustration. washington's regional agenda was the creation off, if you like, and a she and nato to confront china, russia, iran, such plan allow in total disarray. so i think at valley bon, in cardboard, in 2011, will be recognized by most of the regional countries. in the past, it was only part to sign. and i can remember the other countries that recognize the taliban that were ruling in public at that time. but i think that would be

a whole host of fees, a join. the other one is fund will recognize taliban government as a lead, legitimate government in kabul. well, thank you so much for bringing us your knowledge on your analysis as always good to have you on that was shop at ross p political and economic and analyst. thank you very much. meanwhile, the us administration has again increase the number of troops it's sending in twice on the phone to evacuate american citizens an additional 1000 are now being sent on top of the 5000 right. the allocated over the next 2 days. meanwhile, helicopters and planes with him flying over the sky, capital of nature thought to ensure the safe creation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country and thousands of others are trying to follow the u. s. embassy in the capital low, it's flag off to almost off watch transferred to the airport. over at washington, d. c. a large crowd gathered outside the white house. people are voicing that

concerns over the fall of the afghan government, the troop withdrawals. they've been waving afghan flags and holding signs, proclaiming that america betrayed the afghan people that demanding the country opens its borders to them immediately. on tv, costano join. why connie, glory to shane and steve here to discuss how the town of bonds triumph is being viewed in the us. 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 printed 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 have gone to 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. generalize and the brave fighters of afghanistan, 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 afghan, this dan 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 takeover of afghanistan 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 match for 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, few years ago all they could mount was a machine gun on a truck. now they're mounting. let these guys 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 african 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 in drop canister on and so many suitcases of cash. you'd imagine off the 20 years of old military equipment and all the money that the afghans soldiers will be able to actually defend the country. but apparently, after all of this, they can't, well, 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 will lacking. and i mean, i've read a lot of accounts of like for me and i've been war 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 the, 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 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 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 authority of 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 than 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 is moved, is quickly just moved. well, in fact, that 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 willing to talib and if you factor in inflation and such things with 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, they entered gaston, trying to hide to hunt down some, a ban ludden over 911 terrorist attacks. of course, have they captured a sound log back then? maybe they wouldn't have been in galveston 20 years on but well, he fled if you 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 the turned out to be much better students than the regular african army. steven raj has a form, a u. s. navy intelligence officer says that he can't help but into

a parallels with psych on the goal was to ensure that the app in government was strong, that it was a nation where the people were free. it was a nation, ruled by a constitution and not ruled by any dictator or a terrorist organization. so the goal was never achieve. 20 years of work was put into that we have seen is a for caster feet. how do you leave all these people behind the talk about the afghan assistance to, to be met with the baby, torture and murder. this reminds me of us. i got, i was in the air force during the time saigon fell. and when i see helicopters in bul landing on rooftops in airports and giant us air force planes, having the refugees board, those planes reminds me of saigon. and when we see its history repeating itself,

so there is no bright future obviously for our dentist spam, but until we make a change in our nation with regard to our foreign policy, we don't have a much of a bright future either. russia's largest line are flawed. how sad the 2 of its flights will 10 party stop flying over the territory of afghanistan until the order is installed. but the company says, meanwhile rushes diplomatic mission continues to work as normal and cobbled despite most for. and i'm closing up shop, but the russian ambassador said the african military youth to god, it's compound to gone. and taliban fighters are now in the place. he told us that today everything is come in the capital. whenever we operate as normal, there is no reason whatsoever for any changes and we work at full speed because it is come at least it's common the capital. even schools for girls are out. there is a school near our embassy. now the taliban is going round campbell and taking everything under its control that taking responsibility for everything. in particular, they imposed a curfew to prevent loosing and set up

a hotline for citizens to report crime. for 20 years. washington has been fighting here. a large number of locals, including the taliban, considered it's an occupation. washington had initially pledged to complete its pullouts by the 1st of may. it deceived the afghan people who noticed it many wonder why a great power behaves like that. and why have they now centered an extra 6000 troops? i can't speak for them, but apparently the americans are fearful of certain possible implications. the now we have the cigarettes, i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce?

are these, these are making the tobacco tours the ah, the ah, i'm action returns and 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.
