the headlines this our here on our t pay off in gulf cobbled airport as thousands of guns tried to flee the country, disturbing images to show people deliberately trying to cling to an airplane as it attempt to take off with some later, plunging. to read that mission and again it's, there was never supposed to been nation built, it was never supposed to be created a unified centralized democracy, a defiant, a president biden defendant, a troop withdrawal claiming the unfolding. cale. and i was gonna sign on as leaders for cleaning on the afghan army for not fighting that kind of reality. it makes you leaders very anxious over a potentially massive tsunami of refugees that will soon float in europe. that belongs to everything that has followed has not been successful and has not
3:01 am
been achieved in the way we have planned on. we must protect ourselves against major irregular my great reflux. ah well, a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at arty. it's an apple in moscow, it's just off the 10 am on tuesday. so a mass exodus continues to be underway in afghanistan with dramatic patriots coming from the capital. cobble were huge, stampede formed as people tried to flee the city. families also stole the international airport out of desperation. at least 7 people had reportedly been killed. now the taliban managed to seize control of the entire country, 2 weeks before the u. s. a set to complete his troop withdrawal after a very costly to decade war. the
3:02 am
unverified footage on social media shows this and you might find some of these images disturbing as desperate afghans varying for their lives attempted to just cling to the outside of that us air force plain at cobble airport report say human remains are found in the landing of that military transport aircraft following its flight from cobble with pictures of also most of those are lucky enough to make it onto a plane on sunday, although they were met with another crush of people. this time on board 640 was said to have packed inside this particular us jet. and that is, as the pentagon says,
3:03 am
it is preparing to accept 22000 to asylum seekers. or we discussed the ongoing situation in afghanistan with former u. s. navy intelligence officer, steven rogers, he says he can't help but draw parallels with what happened in vietnam. 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 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 saigon. i was in the air force during the time, so i got fell. and when i see helicopters in bul landing on rooftops in an airport
3:04 am
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 them. 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. meanwhile, the taliban was seen patrolling the streets of cobbled brandishing weapons and heavy military equipment. they also seen driving american humvees along with a sweeping territorial gains. the taliban seems to have grap, not any political power, but also us supplied fire power, namely guns ammo, and even helicopters as well. or president biden broke his silence on the crisis. more than a day after the taliban took control of the country. he claimed that the u. s. mission in afghanistan was never about nation building. their statement was a bit of a turn around from previous comments. our mission afghan stand was never supposed
3:05 am
to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created a unified, centralized democracy or only by last interest. and again, stan remains today. what has always been preventing terrorist attack on american homeland? the failure to establish a solid national government could create a lawless, safe haven for and tim merican terrorists. when you look at what's happening and afghan a stand, you can hardly say that joe biden is blameless. he supported the war 1st in congress and then his vice president. and now he says that his decision for a sudden withdrawl is correct to many. it looks like he has absolutely no clue what he is doing. what in his mind, it all makes perfect sense. we want to have gans dana was 20 years ago with clear goals. get those who attract us on september, 11th, 2001. and make sure okay, i could not use f gannon stan as
3:06 am
a base from which to attack us again. we did that. now, so i'm remembering how wishy washy joe biden was when it came to the obama white houses decision to take out the lot. and he eventually praise the decision when it fit the overall narrative and emission that will go down to the annals of intelligence in special operations. some of america's most gifted security professionals track down some and a lot after the trail had gone cold. joe, what do you think? and i said, you know, i didn't know we had so many economists around the table. i said, we'll demanded direct answer. mister president, my suggestion is, don't go, we have to do 2 more things to see if he's there. now biden looks a little shaky when you look over other foreign policy decisions as well when it comes to iraq. he voted for the war and he pushed the false claims about weapons of mass destruction. but now he's for withdrawing their to as vice president. he
3:07 am
supported prime minister ma leaking and many of argue that he ended up emboldening isis when it came to libya, biden was very outspoken in supporting the overthrow of what was at that time, one of the most stable and economically prosperous regimes on the african continent . you now says that one was a big, oops, as well, starting to look like biden doesn't really know what he's doing on the global stage . this is something is critics have been pointing out quite loudly in recent years . i think biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy, a national security issue over the past 4 decades. remember, our biden campaigned for office by calling out donald trump says unpredictable and untrustworthy when it came to us foreign policy. well, recent moves in afghanistan are certainly not an argument in joe biden favor, you know, it's hard to know what's going through biden's mind because he does change his mind on strategic issues. and he doesn't have any clear set of guiding principles when
3:08 am
it comes to foreign affairs. yes it's, it's somewhat of a crisis. but the crisis happened a long time ago when democrats stopped supporting a non interventionist military policy when, when democrats were all in favor of going into iraq and going into afghanistan and when they supported hillary clinton and obama, when we, when the united states military got involved in libya and other places, they already lost the logical battle. they are in a crisis happens. so this is just another symptom of bad policies within the democratic party and the democratic party losing the good things that had ever had that it stood for. meanwhile, he, you lead as a growing increasingly wired about how the situation is developing. and i've done this on, they say the chaos could spread to europe in the form of a huge su nami of refugees. the french president and the german chancellor were among the 1st to voice that concern. thus on the long distance it is now given that
3:09 am
okay, can no longer carry out attacks against the united states from ghana as they did on september 11, 2001 with everything that has followed has not been successful and has not been achieved in the way we have planned 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. and even before recent events, the number of us can flee in the country each week was estimated in the 10s of thousands, and that is now expected to grow rapidly. faced with a crisis, the u. s. has now authorized half a $1000000000.00 in immediate a to afghan refugees. but its author, peter olive now explains that the vast majority of those migrants will not be washington's problem. europe has watched on in horror at the speed at which 20
3:10 am
years of nato occupation of afghanistan was turned around by the taliban advance sit down north pole at p. it is a challenge for peace and international stability against terrorism and those who supported smith and grant. this is an extremely bitter development liter. dramatic and terrifying. now have to concentrate on the rescue. we don't want anybody bilaterally recognizing the taliban. we want to united a position amongst all the like minded, as far as we can get one, as hundreds of thousands of people have already fled their homes enough down it's done, and many more are expected to do the same here in germany, the man who's looking to replace angle, a miracle as chancellor says, we can't be allowed to let recent history repeats itself. we have to give our 1st joint european and trans atlantic response this week. the mistakes in dealing with the syrian civil war must not be made again. 2015 should not be repeated. the us
3:11 am
quitting galveston and the return of the taliban is set to see a rise in both seeking sanctuary. but just where these people going to go, there is already around 3000000 afghan people displaced in iran. over 2000000 of whom are and documented to ron has suggested that it could set up more refugee camps on its eastern border. but that would require funding with eyes looking towards the you for help. pakistan is home to 1400000, registered african refugees and asylum applicants. but along with turkey, which is housing over $3000000.00 syrian refugees, islam about an anchor, a king to work together to stop more arrivals. take your turkey is facing a growing wave of africa migrants transiting through iran. we will continue efforts to enable the return of stability in the region beginning with afghanistan. and to do that, we have to pursue and strengthen our cooperation with pakistan. e. u. member states
3:12 am
are very aware that europe is a destination of choice for many fleeing. i've got to stop so much so that earlier this month, 6 member states put their name to a letter warning house stopping deportations back to afghanistan would be viewed stopping return since the wrong signal and is likely to motivate even more of can citizens to leave their home for the you many hope the 2015 refugee crisis was a warm, soft not to be repeated event. it would seen that reality may have different plans . right now, we know that up to 5000000 guns of thinking to leave their country and added would be much more than we have seen. and 2015. the overwhelming majority of what we know from the pole in germany and continental europe don't want to
3:13 am
see a new wave of mass migration, especially not from garrison where people off to 40 years of war for them, it's extremely difficult to, to integrate into day a very liberal and feminine european societies. so there is a consensus from the center to the right. don't let them in and don't agree with the 2nd 2015. so the u. k is foreign. secretary has also been slammed for not cutting short his whole day sooner as it became very abundantly clear. the taliban was sweeping afghanistan, while dominic rob only returned to britain on sunday for 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 canister was collapsing to the taliban. you've got to be on duty during that
3:14 am
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 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 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 will activists that have this point of view, but even some tory back benches in government. this is completely humiliating for
3:15 am
the west. we assembled the most incredible, technologically advanced lines. the world is ever seen. and we're being 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's about to unfold will be catastrophic. the migration challenges will be huge. we will see further terrorist attacks. we know over the we can 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 flown back. the idea is around 122-1500. throughout the next few days sale the total $4000.00 brought home. however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking how they are today. and a radio interview became, is they're very emotional. he even became quite choked up. some people will get
3:16 am
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 years of sacrifice is what it is. 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 occupation, 500 british troops, and many people. question. what was it for? the russian foreign ministry has said the situation unfolding and ask honest on is the quote natural result of the us and nato troop withdrawal, critic, se washington's length. the operations of the country have actually played directly into the hands of the taliban. as a correspondent, eagle donald now explains, they've done it finally from siri and libya in the middle east to venezuela and cuba and latin america. washington has
3:17 am
a decades long history of failed attempts to bring anti government militia is to power. and at last they've crack the code in i've got, has done with the taliban. apparently all they had to do is instead of aiding them, they should have just fought against them all this time. thanks to our military generalize and the brave fighters of afghanistan. taliban regime is coming to an end. there is little doubt that our greatest military challenge right now is afghanistan. we must reverse the tale, bonds, momentum, and deny of the ability to overthrow the government. our troops will fight to win. we will fight to win. it all started so well. the u. s. invaded the taliban fled to the mountains. the u. s. trained and trained and train the new. i've got an army, spend billions on supplying it with more noms. we spent over
3:18 am
a trillion dollars. we trained and equipped in afghan military force with some 300000 strong. we gave them every tool. they could need all of us in vain, only for the taliban to seize all the equipment. as soon as i've got to send fools, which strengthen their already solid position in the country, the comprehension of the situation on the ground was also far from what you might expect from the country, deeming itself the military and intelligence superpower. the united states currently lacks a comprehensive strategy to gates reconstruction efforts in afghanistan. it also lacks overarching plants with clearly defined metrics to guide its work in a number of key areas, such as anti corruption, connor narcotics, health, education, gender rule of law and water. all this lead to the inevitable corruption, the thriving within the security forces. there glaring ineffectiveness and as
3:19 am
a result, lack of trust to the u. s. backed institution from locals. the african population perceives places, predatory bandits and calls them the most hated institution in the country. around 30 percent of the recruited police have deserted with issued weapons to set up their own private checkpoints and extort money from travelers. various sources before the telephone calls were a preferrable alternative, and that they were perceived as accessible, fast and less corrupt than the government established courts. so when the us says something like this, that force proved incapable of defending the country. and that did happen more rapidly than we anticipated. is it that big of a surprise? i mean, really well, but at least this time america is meddling actually lead a militant group. even one recognized as terrorists by many states to gain total control over a country of galveston who failed. the united states failed and they failed to
3:20 am
train the ocoee and military. but to be honest, this isn't even the 1st time where we've in something like this. remember how much the united states invested in in nation building in iraq and how the iraqi security forces word. at 1st sight of his mom extent, it was very obvious to me. as soon as the united states said that it would be withdrawing that this was essentially the same thing as hitting the keys to the towel them. but i truly do not believe that the american public understood this. and i'm not even sure that the bite in administration understood the seed. this is what happens when you try to impose a western concept of them, but democratization onto a culture that has absolutely no concept of, of it. i mean, they didn't, they never had an army there before, and they, they were more involved in insurgencies and whatever. then we tried to build an
3:21 am
army. this was totally alien to them. so none of this is surprising. and many of us very early on were saying this is a, a prescription for disaster. and this outcome is very dismayed. on the one hand, i feel very badly for the african people because they have really taken the brunt of, of this miscalculation both by their own leadership. and by the united states government . our sister tunnel arty arabic, spoke to me, a hobbit name that's from the taliban political office. now, of course, the group is still clasped by most countries in the world. i thought of a terrorist organization. i think that the answer to this question is really obvious. the world can see that the territory of afghanistan is now under the control of the atlantic em, or mchenry has waged war against the occupation in order to create an independent
3:22 am
islamic state. it was claimed that there were 20 different terrorist groups, perhaps more or less operating enough chemist on that. but when the islamic eminence and asked to cease far a few years ago, not a single shot was fired. and then the lama cameras stuck in agreement with the u. s . there were rumors in the media and reports the different groups were in conflict over this agreement. but the truth is that no one broke disagreement. then the groups joined, the taliban and the invaders announced their departure. then more and more groups began to join the moods at dean. oh, no, joe biden appears confused in some of his statements. the withdrawal of us troops had to be carried out in a strictly organized manner. after signing the agreement, we told us that the withdrawal should take place in a strict order to an agreed schedule. we told them that at every meeting, and then when they postpone the withdraw for 4 months or longer,
3:23 am
we told them the same. i don't know why there is a chaos and confusion intention or why the dramatic event took place a couple airport. the scenes caused pain to all afghans and also cause fear in those trying to leave the country or through that as a rap on this, our coverage of the unraveling situation. and i've got this done, of course here on see we continue to follow it closely and speak to endless me all over the world to get their opinion on what the future of that country will be. we'll continue to do so in the coming hours and days for the meantime. thanks for joining us. the. ah. the
3:24 am
annex painted upside of the pandemic? kenya is experiencing an elephant baby boom. 206. why does kenya have so many cars? and how has the pandemic impacted people's lives? and a role is very big along any fact he end up killing himself. ah, i don't believe nearly and then you got one via whoa and i will make as well before was what i didn't mean to be a media group. if they get the idea, can you say lucky to me? mean, you know, to, because at, and as i don't want anybody who did
3:25 am
the, they didn't even notice whether they call to do it, but they know they come in, it just wasn't going whatever get it. you know, most of the well when you said that you were going to give a lot more job to do, are you going to show you? so you didn't numbers to put it in the the mother mama,
3:26 am
that's what you will cover. the 1st will i don't know if i use them in your voice to be so much not although a lot nobody me and he's a sucker. i knew that you got me personally. hon. ah ah ah
3:27 am
ah i am kaiser. this is the kaiser report. no, you're not imagining it. the purchasing power of your money is going down now. oh, bu who? stacy? oh, sorry, i'm just having my cup of joe biden. this morning. you say this, you know what the cup of joe biden is about, the coffee prices we're seeing, and those are sky rocketing things could get harry right here on the set of cars report if we don't get the coffee, while the price of a cup of coffee keeps arising and nobody seems to care. remember, this is something we've been talking about over the past few months as inflation
3:28 am
starts to war. but people balances and their bank accounts are at all time highs in the household sector in america. so the inflation mindset sat in long ago a few months ago as people were getting used to these enhance unemployment benefits . the non stop stimulus checks arriving in their bank account. and now those child credit tax credits are also arriving a bank account. so everybody feels flush and they don't care how much prices are going up, they're willing to pay, they're not negotiating, they're not bargaining. right? so this, we already have universal basic income, so called u b i. it's already happening in america right now. people are just getting the stamie checks and they won't stop coming. they are going to allow people to live rent free. they're going to pay them more than they would get minimum wage. and so yeah, they don't care where the price, the coffee is going, because it's not their money. it's just a pass through mechanism to bail out bankers. and the amazing thing is that simultaneously we're seeing interest rates go negative, surrendering into
3:29 am
a period of the global economy, where banks are charging customers and savers to have money at their institution. and then that money that they take is going to be sent to the same customers to buy a free cup of coffee. and this will be looping around now for a while until such time as true, catastrophic resulting in sue's, which would be either on the environmental front where we're seeing the bio fear of the ability support human life is collapsing. or we'll see a bond collapse which will throw in immediate screeching halt to the global economy, or we're going to have some kind of war world war. while everybody gets a cup of joe biden, in today's america, where nobody has to work, they work from home, right? and everybody's having the free money, their, their mindset about inflation. it has altered, it's changed, they're all ready and willing and able to spend. all things must pass, however,
3:30 am
we forgot to mention as we've been celebrating, or commemorating the 50th anniversary of the nixon shock. when president richard nixon took the united states off the gold standard, and august, 15th 1971 put into effect, august 16th, 1971. and what happened is it ended bretton woods, well, 50 years later, all things must pass. every single new money printing idea gets past no problem, whether it's a debt sailing going up, whether it's a new stimulus package, whether it's a, it's an infrastructure package, whether it's tarp, whether it's q, we spin, twist, all these various programs, mortgage back, security being put on the fed, bouncy, all things must pass because all things must pass 50 years ago was the name of the album released by george harrison. and i forgot to.
