9:01 pm
presence, a terrorist threat to mechanics which can spread across the borders isn't the threatened security of neighboring countries and central asia. the why from moscow? thanks for joining us. and i told our team, and i shall, i'm daniel hawkins. review are welcome to with ours coverage. and we continue looking at the dramatic events that have been unfolding. and i've got a son over the last 24 hours where the taliban, of course, have now declared an end of war. not offered fighters effectually captured every major city in the country, including the capital, cobble of being overthrown, a us invasion 20 years ago. when nathan group is now back in control of the entire state. there are on confirmed reports stating at least 7 people have been killed. the capitals airports a warning you may find the following images distressing the
9:02 pm
. c bodies can be c on the ground at the airport this morning. the images come after unverified video emerged on line reportedly capturing the moment us troops opened what they called preventative fire at the airport. if not confirmed, if it led to the death of the us soldiers say they only fired in the air. some reports suggest they might have been victims of a stampede, as people rushed towards plains to leave the country. well this is how the fort looks early on sunday night is the only part of the city that still remains out of the taliban hands. thousands can be seen desperately searching for an opportunity to leave. commercial floods have again been suspended off. they will resume the airport and now the only option to get out of the country as all border folks said to be on the taliban control and the return of the taliban is a huge concern for those who been working for the coalition forces over the years.
9:03 pm
so much so that some have been taking desperate measures to leave the country and warning you may find the following footage distressing. well, listen verified video footage on social media claims to show some people falling from a plane as it was taken off from cobble airport. is claimed online that the person had been hiding in the under carriage of the croft. however, as other objects, but also seen falling from the plain. it's not yet been confirmed whether somebody had been killed while local news agencies or the taliban storm this office in cobble, the militants reported to have entered talos compound and seized weapons from security staff. but also warri. a couple based journalists explains about what's going on on the ground. 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 20 years. all the money, all the investments looked like on the other fund. we do have some developments of
9:04 pm
senior taliban leader. i'm in han with that. a meeting with a former president. how many cars 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 your president joe biden has finally broken his silence on the fool of going to onto the taliban. more than a day off prevents unfolded, claiming washington achieved its gold. we want to have gans stand almost 20 years ago. with clear goals, get those who attract us on september. 11th, 2001. and make sure, okay, i could not use afghans stan as a base from which to attack us again. we did that. we serv really degraded al qaeda
9:05 pm
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 a 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 receive. now the bottom take over that gas that now inevitable 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. mine is not
9:06 pm
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 and ghana stand 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. this is certainly not the 1st time that joe biden has zig zag when it comes to international issues. he was at 1st 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
9:07 pm
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. we spoke earlier to the former executive director of the libertarian national committee. he claimed that widens flip flopping on. foreign affairs didn't help the situation and the country you know, it's hard to know what's going through biden's mind because he does change his mind on, on strategic issues. and he doesn't have any clear set of guiding principles when it comes to foreign affairs. so yes, there is certainly a risk that there will be a vacuum of power and the people that we may think are bad are going to come into power and might support terrorism. is to be expected. is to be pretty. you know,
9:08 pm
a lot of us who thought it was wrong to go into afghanistan and the 1st place also expected when we leave. it was going to be bad. otherwise, you know, and that's why you don't want to go in in the 1st place. so, yes, i think our 20 year war on terrorism is likely to generate more terrorism. meanwhile, additional us troops continue to be sent to the country after blood nadia increased the number he was sending in to help get american citizens out an additional $1000.00 are now being deployed on top of the 5000 already allocated over the next 2 days. helicopters and planes were seen flying over the afghan capital as nato sought to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of americans have already left the country on thousands more on trying to follow suit. the u. s . embassy in the capital load it flag. after all, star were transferred to the airport well,
9:09 pm
the war claimed the lives of almost 2 and half 1000 us soldiers with many of their colleagues now questioning what it was for the 2 years veterans, including one that helped reopen the u. s. embassy and cobbled back in 2001 shed their thoughts 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's 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. jar, young men and women who served there. what they were told they were doing was not,
9:10 pm
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 that 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 vin imagining imagination, the veterans 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, 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
9:11 pm
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, 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 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. meanwhile, the un security council was held emergency session over. i'm going to start with the countries envoy highlighting the taliban conducting house searches saying lives are in danger. representatives of other countries also expressed concerns for the well being of people in the region and those who want to leave rushes invoice stress the importance of addressing potential threats that exists across the country. no,
9:12 pm
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, the threatened 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 becky's down around and pakistan not to mention the risk of fighters infiltrating the region by pretending to be refugee one european leader who gave a speech on situation. and i've got to stop the spanish president micron the countries that missy has been shifted to the airport in cobble microns mobilized his air force. the help will be evacuated, the french citizen, whose pul, asleep, exclaimed, 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 does not want a gun, the stun, to become a sanctuary for terrace. yes. again, of course,
9:13 pm
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 fonts where us comes, make up the 2nd largest 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 not such a long time ago, a letter was wishing to the european commission in which a number of countries stated that they had the right to port of guns without the correct paperwork back to afghanistan. subsequent to that several countries backtracked. so you'd have this division with in europe in terms of what to do, but they 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
9:14 pm
what the french president has to say. 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 response that will involve the fight against irregular flows. now, but the 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 is 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 afghan security forces and the local african population. and she also questioned whether
9:15 pm
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 sex situations. so conclusion may to not succeed in afghanistan, stuff i'm belong to. it's now we're given that car to can no longer carry out the tax against the united states from of canis. done is due date on the 11th of september, 2001. but everything that has followed hadn't been a successful and hasn't been achieved in the way we had planned. now you'll notice there that merkel is the reference of $911.00, which is 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 party at the moment is on evacuation as it is within other european countries. and on monday we did see these flags getting underway with france, placing the power sheet,
9:16 pm
bringing home and evacuating both french citizens and asked guns who have been assisting the french government. meanwhile, the 1st part of british troops arrived in cobble on saturday to safeguard nationals and help me locate former gun stuff. $600.00 soldiers are expected in total. other european states have been evacuation ban nationals and spending diplomatic missions than walk and norway are temporarily shutting mesh had compelled germany and finland closing their presidio, citing the deteriorating situation more than 60 other countries of cool. and i've got to stall 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 wished to leave the country . those in positions of power and authority across of gannon on their responsibility and accountability for the protection of human life and property.
9:17 pm
and for the immediate restoration of security and civil order. the u. k. foreign secretary has been slammed for not cutting is not a short earlier as the taliban was seizing. i'm going to start dominic rob returned to britain only on sunday correspondent to shut it. it was just the 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 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, me saying 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 the instigated
9:18 pm
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 i scanned them 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 disastrous and suicide . 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 fast and initially when to under the international pretense of a pro, humanitarian and pro democracy mission. however, all you believe, but the very fact and speed of this taliban take many people point to the defeat for military politically. the sound is
9:19 pm
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 jump 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
9:20 pm
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 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 they are today. and 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 so 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 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
9:21 pm
minister of foreign johnson said the tale bon takeover would be out of the question . obviously, that is actually wrong at this point. so many people will be questioning the prime minister on all of that. but what about the intelligence that provided this nato acts 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 and most of all of course, 50000. * civilians died during this 18 year old patient 500 british troops and many people. question. what was it for?
9:22 pm
we discussed him going to discuss a situation in afghanistan was formal us navy intelligence officer, steven rogers, who says he can't help but draw parallels between car bull and saigon. 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 app, dan assistance to, to be met with the baby, torture and murder. this reminds me of saigon. i was in the air force during the time, so i god fell. and when i see helicopters in bul landing on rooftops in airports
9:23 pm
and giant us air force planes, having a 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 without sol for this house coverage of the unraveling situation, i've got a ton, we've been across the story closely getting as much insight as we can from people on the ground and analyzes for mix but globally will continue to bring you the latest over the coming hours and day stay with us here on our international the ah,
9:24 pm

9:26 pm
9:27 pm
financial through, i'm john that a little about money laundering person to see this and this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas, in the cayman islands, you never know the banks are complicit in their club property and we just have to give me a call. i am ready to do some serious money laundry. okay, let's see how we did. well, we got a nice laundry watch for max and for safety. oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about how much the automobile? again, format, you know what money laundering is? highly regal copier correct? spot? americans love buying homes. ah,
9:28 pm
this was a funny middle part of how our political leadership and our country large understood the bargain. you get a whole and then you will rebel, right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial back and think about no longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the big question of who the dream has been for the this is boom. but the one business show you can't afford to miss branch of boring washington coming up. volatility continues to slam china as the delta vary and the natural disaster hit the country heart rate had we discussed the job conditions facing the world's 2nd largest economy and afghan san has now been taken by the alphabet as the last of the u. s. embassy staff has been evacuated from the
9:29 pm
nation. we take a look at what impact the turmoil could have on internet the market. and later we look at the recovery in the airline sector as mass cancellation and delay issues hit the industry hard of impacts today. so it's that right in the and we leave the program with economic data out of the world, 2nd and 3rd largest economies. let's start with china. factory output for july and the 2nd largest economy increased by 6.4 percent year over year coordinate data released by the national bureau of tics on monday. missing analysts expectations after thing 8.3 percent growth in june, also missing predictions retail sales. they were up a point 5 percent in july from the same month last year after seeing an expansion
9:30 pm
of more than 12 percent in june. meanwhile, in japan, according to data relief, monday, the world's 3rd largest can be extended by just 1.3 percent in the 2nd quarter of 2021. after falling 3.7 percent in the 1st quarter, and contracting nearly 4.8 percent in 2020 as a whole, as the nation struggled to deal with the coven, 1900 pandemic. so what do these latest numbers tell us about the future of the 2 most crucial asian economies? well, to discuss, let's bring in boom by telephone christy christy. i want to start with china's economy, which is hip re pandemic levels. but there are concerns that the growth is flowing due to inflationary pressure and issues with the supply chain. what they, you? well yeah, one of the biggest threats to recovery with inflation, china is expansion is losing theme, and businesses are now grappling with the higher cost of supply bottlenecks. so the new coven, 1900 and.
