un security council halls in emergency needs to go down to san with a representative 40 think concerns over the persistent terror threat in the country . we are still concerned by the ongoing prisons, terrorist threat and stone can split across the borders. it threatened the security of neighboring countries and central asia the hello and welcome. this is our teens national. as as over. i glad you chose us. always good to have your company. well, let's continue our special coverage that we've had today with the dramatic events that have been unfolding in afghan install over the last 24 hours. the town of the house is now declared an end of war, and the country on softer its fight is effectively captured. every major city, including the capital, cobble means that off to being overthrown. any us invasion 20 years ago. the

minister group is now back in control of the entire nation. there are on conform reports, stating in the southern people have been killed up the capitals up what a warning you may find. the following images upsetting the body can be seen on the ground up the apple this morning. the p images come off to unverified to video and much 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 of the us soldiers say they shot into some reports suggest the victims may have been killed in the stampede, as people were rushing towards planes to get out of the country. well this is how the apple valley on sunday night, the only part of the city that still remains out of the town upon 10000 can be seen death, threatening such a brand new office into the commercial flight have again been suspended off to the

hewn. the port, it's not the only option to get out of the country as a board post. all said to be under taliban control town all the time about is a huge concern for those who have been watching up for the coalition forces 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. on verified footage on social media claims to show someone fooling from a plane as it was taken off from cobble port. it's claimed online that the past and had been hiding in the under carriage of the croft. however, as the objects will also seen falling from the sky, it's not yet been confirmed whether any one was killed. and a local news agency says the town of on stormed is office and cobble medicine is a report to top entity, compound seized weapons from security staff. allow suarez cobble based john. this

explains more is a massive embarrassment. it's a hard break, it's a tragedy. and it's also the end result of what the last 20 years. all the money, all the investments looked like. on the other front. we do have some developments of senior taliban leader. i'm in a meeting with a former president because i am chairman of the law. the law, the taller bonds position publicly through statements is that everyone will be safe, no one will be harmed. it also instructed fighters not to go into people's homes and not to bother anyone, but we still don't have any clarity on when the government will be formed. what type of government id will be? in the meantime, us president joe fight and i was finally broken his silence over the fall off challenged onto the taliban. more than a day off the events unfolded. in his speech, he pinned the blame for the claps on the afghan government ortiz caleb open reports

. we want to have can stand on was 20 years ago with clear goals. get those who attacked us on september, 11th, 2001. and make sure i kind of could not use afghans stan as a base from which to attack us again. we did that. we serv really degraded al qaeda in afghanistan. we never gave up the hunt for osama milan, and we got him. that was a decade ago. the recent speech from joe biden has certainly raised some eyebrows. at 1st he was saying that the collapse of the afghan government in the face of the taliban was not inevitable. but then later it seems like he's saying that it was my national security team. and i had 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 receive. now,

bon take over that gas that now inevitable is none. 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 taliban? it is not inevitable. now job and also said that the mission of the united states and afghan a stand was never a nation building project. quite an interesting remark makes you wonder what the purpose of the us occupation of the country has been for the last 20 years. here's what he said, our mission afghan. stan was never supposed to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created the unified centralized democracy. this has critics of joe biden, wondering about his reliability and credibility when it comes to foreign policy is certainly not the 1st time that joe biden has zig zag when it comes to

international issues. he was at 1st, the major supporter of the invasion of iraq. then later was opposing it and took moves that may have strengthened the i feel the terrorists during his vice presidency under brock obama. many of pointed out that he was a vehement supporter of us intervention in libya before later admitting that it was a big mistake and a big disaster. so a lot of questions are now being raised. people look at the situation in afghanistan and say that joe biden is pretty much to blame for a catastrophe. and there seems to have been a lot of miscalculation and mismanagement, and lack of planning on the part of us forces. and the commander in chief may have a lot of explaining to do about what's happening in the country. what us bring, and now mike miller, full pentagon, security policy on us, always good to have you on the program. the fun thing i want to use about bite and speech. he said that the u. s. mission off down on it was never about nation

building, but to prevent terrorist attacks on the us. my question, that is why want american troops withdrawn off to the killings of i'll call you to figures well, that's because we were into nation building and, and regime change in nation building. that's basically what occurred. we kicked out the tele bomb in 2001 october, 2001. they were gone for the most part and. and then we lost focus. we, we began and we set up the government there. it's a us created government and in couple then we lost focus by diverting attention to iraq in 2003. and in time afghan stan became known as the forgotten war in yet we were fighting basically 2 fronts, enough kenneth stand and then in iraq. and joe biden has, has even when he was vice president did not approve of obama was 100000 troop

increase. and, and as a consequence, this decision of he is today is not surprising. his excuses are lame. it's a matter of double speak that's coming from him. and i, and this is a, he knew he knew very early on of the corruption and the in the fighting in that government and how decadent it really, really was. and how it could not be, it could not sustain any kind of leadership under stress. and that was very clear, 2 years ago i was on r t saying that intelligence people were telling me then that the us ever pulled out cabal would fall in 5 days. well, it went only 6. so i, i'm not surprised at this. and i think that there's, there's going to be a lot of, there's going to be congressional hearings on this, on capitol hill in the u. s. and it's going to be, we're seeing basically

a repeat of what happened in saigon in 1975. and even up until the time that our evacuated vietnam, we were gloating about how well prepare the soft me as forces were. but we also did something that we did in afghanistan. we withdrew air power. we withdrew air power very early. and we did that. we did the very same thing in afghan, a stand and that was very demoralizing to afghan security forces that were trying to route telephone. air power was essential to, to give them, give them the support that they needed and we stopped that. so there's a lot of blame to go around. and i think that the afghan security forces were not all that well trained. having said that, the people who were well trained where the afghan special operations people,

not the bulk of the so called african army. and this is what happens when you try to impose a western concept of democratization onto a culture that has absolutely no concept of it. i mean, they didn't, they never had an army there before. and they were more involved in insurgencies and whatever. then we tried to build an army, this was totally alien to them. so none of this is surprising. and many of us, very early on, as i say on r t were saying, this is a, a prescription for disaster. and this outcome is very dismayed on the one, and i feel very badly for the asking people because they have really taken the brunt of, of this miscalculation both by their own leadership and by the united states government. well, i want to also was the biden, and has been said that that was never a good time to withdraw us troops from afghanistan. does that seem to suggest that

bitin new u. s. foreign policy structures in the country was a failure from the get go? i think he did, i, you could see it from, portray us on, they were talking about setting up an insurgency approach and the search and see approach. there's only been one successful effort in setting up a condition for daily with insurgencies of going out use me going out into the hinterlands and, and trying to win the hearts and minds of the local people in the, in the real distant areas. we stopped that, we really did not do that. our special forces were there in much more of a defensive role. they were not trying to get into the communities and talking to them to, especially over 20 years. we raised the generation of afghans to a different cultural mindset and as a consequence,

we would have expected by now that that would have taken hold. but it, it clearly didn't because line in the line in these districts, these local districts, the tele, bon reemerged, but set up what we call shadow governments in each one of the districts they were just waiting. and then as the u. s. receded, it's support the tele bond would see on and they just filled that vacuum. i also want to ask, just for a bit of comparison. now president bush talking about rebuilding post taliban afghanistan. recognize the militant islam of the radical idea. ologies could only be discouraged with the building of a safe functioning civil society. biden's was today seemed to suggest otherwise he's kind of washing his hands with it now. well, having washed his hands of it, giving the,

giving up. nothing's going to change tele bond will allow al qaeda and, and isis ok. that is the corps on version of isis that are gathering now they more militant groups will be for me in there. and they will, in fact, become a trip to the neighboring countries in the, in central asia and ultimately into the russian federation and even into china. this is, i help train border guards up in news becca, stand because it's done and care to stand. when i was with the department of defense and we were chasing the i am you tracking down coming in from afghanistan. so it's, it never stops. and now that the tele owns the northern portion of afghanistan, they can allow these groups to go on in if they choose. now there are militant groups that have reemerged, that opposed telephone. they become only because they are very concerned that the

government would not protect them. now that it is certainly that that isn't even in the equation any longer. so they're, they're going to try and protect themselves. a lot of elements, for example, tell about a sunni and they, they regard the as a pos states and they're worthy of been killed and they're in their, in their view. so this is the only way that this is going to what i'm saying basically is that this is going to devolve and disintegrate back into another civil war again because telephone cannot itself cannot hold all of that territory. and so you're going to see there, you're going to see resistance rising up in areas that they start to control, but don't have a firm control over over and, and what this may be an opportunity for the likes of russia and the united states to get what these opposition groups to tell a bon and start communicating with them and actually getting intelligence. if they,

if the united states and russia consider afghanistan to be still be in their national security interest. i think it really is because from the u. s. standpoint, they still have iran, the worry about they've got, they've got china to be concerned about. and a child thought it could build a belt and wrote initiative into afghanistan, which is what they want to do. they're going to run into security issues, which could prom chinese security forces to move in to protect those investments. what does this go on and on? yeah, i mean, i was going to say this is such a tangled web with repercussions, obviously that go far beyond. i found out that we really appreciate coming and giving us your expert and not assess mike witterd former pentagon security policy, unless many thanks. thank you. more additional us troops continue to be sent to afghanistan off to bite and all your increase the number he was sending to help get american citizens out an additional $1000.00 to now being deployed on top of the

5000 read the allocated over the next 2 days helicopters and planes were seen flying over the con capital, as nato thought to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country. thousands of others are trying to follow suit the u. s. embassy in the capital. no, it's flag off off what transferred to the airport just reminded the war claimed the lives was $2500.00 us soldiers with many of our colleagues now question what it will fall to us veterans including one that helped reopen the u. s. embassy and cobbled back in 2001 shot the 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 seeing people injured have gone through terrible emotional and physical trauma . as a result of this service and had hope that but in some way they were helping afghanistan

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 the biden and trump, and george bush and obama were hoping to accomplish that was kept a secret from our troops. i troops were told of very positive things about the future, but again, a standing, none of it was true and, and i until committee knows very well that it, most of it was based on falso vin imagining imagination, the bedrooms on iraq, the veterans of afghanistan, all of us veterans ought to be going to our congress to say no more wars because every one of these conflicts has 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 is 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 app dams that, that help them on a high level really rich. but those that actually implemented the projects didn't get rich and now the, the retribution and retaliation from it's all a bond who said you'd never should have been working with the u. s. government on in any of this anyway. is tragically going to happen. the un security council has

howlton emergency session with the countries have gone stones and voice highlighting the taliban conducting house, such as saying lives in danger. representatives of all the countries also express concerns for the well being of people in the region and those who want to leave washington voice trust. the importance of addressing potential threats that exist in the country. know somebody who spoke with we are still concerned by the ongoing presence of terrorist threats and f canister on it, which can spread across the borders. the threatened security of neighboring countries and central asia of concern. also the flows of refugees across the border . it's created an additional burden for jackie stone, was becky's down around in pakistan, not to mention the risk of fighters infiltrating the region by pretending to be refugees. one european has given us branch on the situation, afghans don is french. president manuel mac chrome, the countries embassy has been shifted to the port in kabul,

and micro mobilized his asphalt to help with the occupation of french citizens on teams. policy explains a short time ago we heard from the french president in manuel crohn in a televised a trace to the nation and very much what was anticipated is in fact what he said. and that was that he doesn't want a gunny son to become a sanctuary for terrace. yes. again, of course the hot potato for france and the rest 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 fonts where us comes, 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 i know such a long time ago, a letter was wishing to the european commission in which

a number of countries stated that they have the right to port of guns without the correct paperwork back to afghanistan. subsequent to that several countries backtracked. so you have this 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 depends on the c p. we must anticipate and protect ourselves against major irregular my great re flows 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 way as 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 better. she said that

it was quite clear that countries had not managed to build a country enough gunny stun 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 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've given that car to can no longer carry out attacks against the united states from of canis 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 here's the reference of $911.00, which was actually a little bit silly because it was saudis who were involved in the $911.00 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 with him, other european countries. and on monday we did see these flags gaping on the way with france. placing apology, bringing home and evacuating both french citizens and ask guns who have been assisting the french government. meanwhile, the 1st batch of british troops arrived in cobble on saturday to safeguard nationals and help relocate for my ass down staff. $600.00 soldiers are expected in total of the european states have been evacuating that nationals and suspending diplomatic missions, denmark a new way, a temporary shutting shad compound germany and send them to closing that facilities fighting the deteriorating situation. and more than 60 countries have called on, i found a storm 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 danced on 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. foreign fact, he has also been slammed for not cutting his holiday short as the taliban was seizing afghanistan. dominic rob returned to britain on some day. i'll correspondence shot dead with dusty 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 australia is done. 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 his complete, tiny bon take very questioning response. indeed in 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 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 disaster, some sewers. so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking over, say the united kingdom isn't part of this nature occupation over the last 18 years,

the brit 1st and initially went in under the international protection 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 for military politically. this sounds as 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 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 were being defeated by an insurgency that armed with a k 40 sevens in 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 assists the british army during the occupation already around 300 people have been flown back. the idea is around 121500, throughout the next few days till the coastal full 1000 brought home. but we've seen absolute chaos. 16 cobble as well. what we do know is the military side of the port in the british side where the british planes are in the airport on this point in time. secure. however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom seeking out today and a radio interview became a very, very emotional. he even became quite choked up. some people get back and we will do our best. and so 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 being recalled back from the summer recess. i saw on wednesday. i forgot the 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 of foreign johnson said that 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 san 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 to 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. many people question. what was it for? well, that's how the south coverage of the unraveling situation of johnstone is looking. we've of course, been following it all very closely, getting as much isn't in sight, as we can from people on the ground in kabul, and analysis from exports all over the world. we will continue to so over the coming hours on days the ah, ah.
