the ah, the. c chaos and confusion i called full port in afghanistan as the us pulls out its remaining stop on verified video, show crowds running across the field in a desperate bid to cling onto american plains and get out of the country. i mean, 7 people have reportedly been killed in the grand joe biden has given his 1st speech since america reputation took a hammering in the town on tank goes all boxed down as dawn saying he didn't expect events to unfold so rapidly following us troop withdrawal. the un security council holds an emergency session over afghanistan with representative voicing concerns over the assistance terrorist threats in the country. they are still concerned by

the ongoing presence of terrorist threats, and that's kind of stone. you can spread across the board is the threatening security of neighboring countries in the central asia the making sure he never misses story. this is our him to national live, as always from moscow, where you're joining us from the very welcome to this news on. well all day we're going to be continuing all special coverage, how all the dramatic events have been on folding and afghan, installing over the last 24 hours. the town up on that has now declared an end of war in the country. that's all threats. fight is effectively kept at every single major city, including the capital kabul, and means it off to being overthrown in the us invasion 20 years ago. the entire nation is now back under the militant groups control there on confound report states and only 7 people had been killed up the capitals apples

a warning you may find the following images upsetting the. c bodies can be seen on the ground at the apple this morning. the images calm off the unverified video emerged online, reportedly capturing the moment us troops opened what they called preventative fire at the airport. it's not confirmed that led to the deaths of those people as the us soldiers say they shot into the at some reports suggests the victims may have been killed in a stampede, as people rushing towards plains to get out of the country. this is how the apple looked out here on sunday night. it's the only part of the city that still remains out of the town. upon thousands can be seen death, brittany, kings, any opportunities in the commercial flight have again been suspended up to they were temporarily viewed. the app is now the only option to get out of the country as to posts. all said to be on taliban control. there were times,

the counterpart is a huge concern for those who've been watching for the coalition. full says over the years, so much so that some have been taking desperate measures to leave the country. a warning again, you may find the following footage distressing. while i'm verified footage on social media claims to show someone fooling from a play and as it was taken off from cobble airport, it's claimed online at the past and had been hiding in the on the carriage of the croft. however, as all the objects rules are seen falling from the plain, it's not yet been confirmed whether someone was killed. and a local news agency called told i was says, tell about minutes and have stormed at the office in cobble. they entered the compound and seize the weapons of security stuff. in the meantime, us president joe biden has finally broken his silence over the fool of afghanistan to the taliban. more within, moving to day,

rather off to advance unfolded. and in his speech, she pin the blame for the collapse on the scanner government. what i want to bring in now he's kind of more pedant created by i listen to that speech. i mean, it does. when he seemed that he was saying up saying no regrets, we did everything and the afghans couldn't stand for themselves. what was the other main points of the us presidents statement? the well biden has been widely criticized over the last few days for being silent about the situation in afghanistan, situation he is largely responsible for and furthermore, for actually going on vacation. so today's remarks were a big moment. we had joe biden breaking his silence on the issue. speaking to the press and speaking to the american people, here's what he said. the last name was bon takeover of afghan. now inevitable is non because you have the afghan troops have 300000

well equipped as well as crypt has any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 tale. mine is not inevitable. my national security team and i've been closely monitoring the situation on the ground and began to stand and moving quickly to execute the plans we had put in place to respond to every constituency, including, and contingency, including the rapid collapse we're seeing. now this is biden basically contradicting his own words where earlier he had said it was not inevitable that the taliban would be victorious. but it seems like in his remarks that he gave today, he seemed to be making it sound as if it was inevitable and there was nothing he could do. now. the important to note that a few others highlights come from the speech abide and said our mission and afghan nathan was never supposed to be nation building. that raises the question of what

the united states has been doing in the country for the past 20 years. biden has went on in his speech to blame donald trump, china, the afghan government, and the military for the nations collapse under pressure. he said that there would not be ever a good time to pull out of afghanistan. so regardless of how the pull out of us troops was done, that would result in such similar chaos. he's out of the united states will continue to support the afghan people through diplomacy and humanitarian aid. and all of this brings into question, what many critics are saying right now, i mean, they're essentially questioning biden's credibility when it comes to foreign policy . know, remember, that biden was at 1st, a very outspoken supporter of the us invasion of iraq repeating the claim that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. then later, you know, making moves in iraq and backing moves by the obama administration. when he was vice president that resulted in strengthening i still, we can talk about how, you know, biden was at 1st,

a huge supporter of us intervention in libya under the obama administration, but then admit that that resulted in things deteriorating in the country. and now observers are looking at his handling of the situation and afghan us down and saying, this guy may just not really know what he's doing when it comes to foreign policy. so biting did break, his silence seems to blame a lot of other people for the situation in the country. you seem to argue that i guess it was inevitable of the taliban would take power even though that was just the opposite of what he had argued before. that's what we just heard from joe biden, and his critics are not satisfied critics out there, just looking at the headlines, it is actually pretty shocking. what i will say that was created open reporting from your many banks. meanwhile, additional us troops continue to be sent to afghanistan off to buy an audio increase the number he was sending to help get american citizens out an additional 1000. and now being deployed on top of the 5000 ready allocated of the next 2 days,

helicopters on planes were seen flying over the african capital, as nato thought to ensure the safe curation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country and thousands of others trying to follow suit. the u. s. embassy in the capital lowered to flag off to all staff were transferred to the board. now just remind the war claims the lives with 2500 us soldiers with many of their colleagues. and now questioning what it was all for to us veterans, including one actually helped reopen the u. s. embassy and cobbled back in 2001, shut the phone with us. well, at this point, for, for all of the men and women of our country have served in afghanistan, who have lost friends, who, who seen people injured, have gone through terrible emotional and physical trauma as a result of this service. and had hope that in some way they were helping afghan stand for all of these people. most of them are sad, some are angry,

but really they're sad and they're asking the question, and i think it's been reported widely. why, why was, why were we there? what were we really doing? because we did not achieve any mission that was sold to our soldiers to our young men and women who served there. what they were told they were doing was not, i'm sorry, it was not the mission that was accomplished. ok. we didn't accomplish that mission, whatever mission that biden and trump, and george bush and obama were hoping to accomplish that was kept a secret from our troops. our troops were told of very positive things about the future. but again, a stand and none of it was true, and i until committee knows very well that most of it was based on falso, in imagining imagination, the veterans on iraq, the veterans of afghan, a stan, all of us, veterans ought to be going to our congress to say no more wars because every one of these conflicts as they ended up not only with hundreds of thousands,

if not millions of millions of citizens of the countries we've gone into being dead or wounded. but certainly the veteran population of the united states that continues to suffer suicides at $22.00 a day and long term mental problems that affect not only them personally, but their whole families and their communities. it's something that our us congress and our politicians ought to be held accountable for forgetting us into these endless wars the, when was for the defense contractors of the united states of america. they got really rich and those afghans that helped them on a high level, not really rich, but those that actually implemented the projects didn't get rich and now the, the retribution and retaliation from it's all about who said you'd never should have been working with the u. s government in any of this anyway, is tragically going to happen. the un security council has held an emergency

session over at kennesaw. i'm with the country the invoice highlighting the taliban conducting house, such as saying lives on endanger. representatives of all the countries also express concerns the well being of people in the region and those who want to leave rushes and voice stress. the importance of addressing potential threats that exist in the country. but even when we spoke with them, we are still concerned by the ongoing presence of terrorists, french and spanish stone, which can spill across the borders. the threatened security of neighboring countries and central asia of concern. also are the flows of refugees across the border. it's created an additional burden for to jackie stone. rebecca, stand around and pakistan not to mention the risk of fighters infiltrating the region by pretending to be refugees. russians largest ally, and that's our thought has said that 2 of its flights will temporary stop flying over the church of afghanistan until water quote is restored. meanwhile russians, diplomatic mission continues to walk as normal and cobbled up despite most foreign

embassies. clothing done, the russian embassy to said the african military that used to god it's compound, has gone untenable. white is an out in the place. he told us that today everything seems come in the capital. whenever we operate as normal, there is no reason whatsoever for any changes. we work at full speed because it is calm, at least it's common the capital. even schools for girls are there is a school near our embassy. now the taliban is going round campbell and taking everything under its control, they are 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 its an occupation. washington had initially pledged to complete its pullouts by the 1st of may. it deceived the african people who noticed it many wonder why great power behaves like that. and why have they now sent an extra 6000

troops? i can't speak for them, but apparently the americans are fearful of certain possible implications. for let's get more perspective on the recent developments, as are all unfolding from local john. unless blouse worry law, i know you've been following this all in the midst of it for a couple of days now. and i want to start with the situation at the airport. i mean, we fall hundreds of people thousands of trying to get on planes. aaliyah habit, calm down now, i mean, joe biden, and his speech said that the u. s. has taken control of that traffic control. is that what you're hearing? what we'll have to see tomorrow. you know how that situation is unfolding when the ones were able to go and how many more can go. and what about people trying to make it to the airport. you know that the check point, the roads are controlled by the taliban. so there has to be some more clarity about that. but as far as the president's speech was concerned,

it was very much for an american consumption. it will not resonate. log with the people here on the gown will feel that the west and international community and the americans have betrayed them as well as their own government. so we will have to see how the americans will continue to evacuate thousands of people. we have to read them, but this is not going to be just an overnight, you know, mission and then there's the issue of other countries as well that or us allies who also want to help reset upon. so we will have to wait and see how that goes, but it's a massive embarrassment. it's a hard break, it's a tragedy. and it's also the end result of what the last 2 years, all the money, all the investments looked like. on the other time we do have some developments of senior alabama leader. i'm in hon without a meeting with

a former president. how may cause a chairman of the law, the law that meeting took place in the home of mister de la, where now being told that a delegation will have to do which will consist mr. hickman as well. a former commander, a meter, and a one time prime minister. and they will hold talks with the taliban info. but we still don't have any clarity on when the government will be formed. what type of government it will be and for the 1st time, i think a lot of the taliban leaders will be seen speaking by the public because they have been you know, living in hiding. they have been, you know, living from the media and the photos are not available widely. at least, you know, some of the military commanders we heard from the ask can and for the un that the ton upon is going door to door such as houses potentially making arrests. have you got any insight onto that? have you heard of any incidents, for example,

of the kind of punishing anyone that they seem to have been cooperating with us forces the dollar bonds position publicly through statements is that, you know, there was an amnesty offered by shanghai, but the love ones are the thought of anita and everyone will be safe, no one will be harmed and also instructed fighters not to go into people's homes and not to bother anyone. so that is their position in some cases where you know, some vehicle for example, belonging to the brother of the former president. the honey i'm a guy who is also tribal lender was taken and the taliban got into his home. busy he treated and literally he treated back. you said i want to talk to the other by not only did, did it turn the vehicle back now they've provided all the protection to my house. so how the thought of transition from the fighting force into the political side of things, i think we will have to speak also,

i do want to ask you regarding your profession, how about the media? for example, i had, there are rumors, i mean there are lots of rooms at the moment on the radio scriptures from the koran being read out is not true. is that any sign that the media has been taking control of by the taliban? while i have been able to watch, i want to stanz biggest television station to know news broadcasting live as well as arianna, i have not heard the addition of the crime, but there was radio stations in cobble. i remember, you know, a lot of them, you know, there was broadcasting such chronic versus programs. but now we will have to see if there will be a bad, for example, and music on soap opera. you know, on, on female fingers, you know, playing. these are the type of restrictions that could be lifted on could nice could continue as, as it workforce. well,

we saw you will be wasting. see all the developments as always, we appreciate you giving us the very latest of what's happening right in. cobbled one european, nita who's given a speech on the situation. i've got a son is a french president of manuel and my chrome. the countries embassy has been shifted to the airport in cobble and macros mobilized his are forced to help with the evacuation of french citizens, ortiz points layer explains very much what was anticipated is, in fact, what he said. and that was that he does not want a gunny son to become a sanctuary for terrorist yet again, of course, the hot potato for france and the waste of the european union is the issue of the migrant crisis. people here certainly do not want to see a repeat of the 2015 crisis that happened. you have a situation in france where us comes to make up the 2nd largest of refugee population. and there is division amongst european countries in terms of what to do

with those guns who've reached these shores, but don't actually have the correct paperwork in terms of being recognized as refugees. and such a long time ago, a letter was wishing to the european commission in which a number of countries said that they have the right to the port of guns without the correct paperwork back to afghanistan. subsequent to that several countries backtracked. so you have to division with in europe in terms of what to do, but the doesn't seem to be division in terms of the fact that the european union does not have the capacity to handle another major migrant crisis taken. listen to what the french president has to say was on t c. p. we must anticipate and protect ourselves against major irregular my great re flows of that would endanger those who use them and feed trafficking of all kinds. we will therefore take the initiative to build without delay, a robust, coordinated,

and united response that will involve the fight against irregular flows. now luckily witnessing is a change from the previous positive approach from the blocks major powers. when it comes to dealing with refugees and asylum seekers, the german chancellor, anglo merkel also talked to the floor and she was extremely bitter. she said that it was quite clear that countries had not managed to build a country enough gunny stand with a democratic structure. she said that there was no connection between the african security forces and the local african population. and she also questioned whether or not they had achieved anything by intervening in the country. in this way, she said that they didn't, they need to look at other ways of dealing with such situations. her conclusion, nato did not succeed in afghanistan. stuff i'm belong to. now we're given that car to can no longer carry out the tax against the united states. from again,

is done as they did on the 11th of september, 2001. but everything that has followed hasn't been a successful and hasn't been achieved in the way we had planned. now you'll notice that merkel use the reference of 911, which is actually a little bit silly because it was saudis who were involved in the 911 plains. and at the same time the taliban is not the same as our kinder. but certainly here in france, the poetry at the moment is on evacuation, as it is within other european countries. and on monday we could see these flags gaping on the way with france, placing a power sheet, bringing home and evacuating both french citizens and africans who have been assisting the french government. meanwhile, the 1st batch of british trips arrived in cobble on site today to safeguard nationals and help relocate former town staff. $600.00 soldiers are expected in total of the european states have been evacuating that nationals and suspending

diplomatic missions, denmark, and no way of temporarily shutting dash at compound. germany and finland are pleasing that facilities fighting the deteriorating situation. and more than 60 countries have cooled on afghanistan 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 his tongue, their responsibility and accountability for the protection of human life and property. and for the immediate restoration of security and civil order. the u. k is foreign secretary has been slammed for not cutting his holiday shortly as the ton upon the seizing off down a stone dominic rob return to britain early on sunday. oh correspondence, shoddy had stashed reports from london. well,

the questions 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 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. today, the prime minister is hosting a cobra meeting. that's a meeting where the cabinet should all be attending, but the foreign secretary dominic rob is nowhere 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 brits 1st and initially went in under the international pretense of a pro, humanitarian and pro democracy mission. however, all of you believe, but the very fact and speed of this taliban take as many people point to the defeat 1st. militarily. 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 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 whipping defeated by an insurgency that 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 is about to unfold will be cast 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 chaos fixing cobble as well. what we do know is the military side of the port, as in the british side, where the british planes are in the airport at this point in time. secure. however,

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 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. parliament is a being recalled back from some a recess i saw on wednesday. i think 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 says the 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 africa, nissan 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. most of all, of course, 50000 civilians died during this 18 year old patient 500 british troops. so many people, question, what was it all for? lots rap on this as coverage of the unfolding. cale, to be honest in afghanistan, we've been following closely getting as much insight as you can from people on the ground. and of course analysis from export all over the world, we will continue to so over the coming out. so we hope you stop by a bit later on the

the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk me

the with i'm action retents and you're watching going underground over the past week. so go mainstream media is being waking up to the potential extinction of humanity. after landmark, dcc report issued a warning of hell on earth because of climate change. while this while a 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 beneficiary is the billionaires looking to escape the planet in private rockets. joining me now is renowned, philosopher and author ac grayling, whose new book, the frontier of knowledge explodes, the progress barriers and future of humanity. when it comes to enlightenment,

thank you so much, professor grayling for coming back on. if anyone thinks that they don't need to read this book, you imply that they have their own 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 enforced 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 anecdote about the, a great physicist, the steven wineburg nobel prize winning physicist who when ronald reagan was contemplating pushing anti ballistic missiles up in space. you may remember a kind of defense that was installed on satellites. weinberg said it doesn't bother me. the president reagan doesn't know any science, but it doesn't bother me if he doesn't know any philosophy.
