ah, ah, the headlines this hour here went on to pay off in gold cobbles, apple thousands of guns tried to flee the country, disturbing images show people desperately trying to cling to an airplane as it attempted to take off tom, as we understand later, funding for that that mission, again, a stand was never supposed to been nation built in was never supposed to be created a unified centralized democracy defying the president biden defense is troop withdrawal. blaming the unfolding kale to knock down a don on his leaders for cleaning and the gun army are not fighting. also, the new gun reality you make, you leaders are very anxious over a potentially enormous flow of refugees on route to europe. and along with everything that has followed has not been as successful and has not been achieved
4:01 am
in the way we had planned. we must senses to protect ourselves against major irregular my great to be floated. ah, it is just after 11 am. and after coming to live, i'm a very funny russian capital. welcome to go stories here. we're not a mass exodus is currently underway, enough guns dawn with dramatic pictures coming from the capital where a huge stampede formed as people try to leave the city. a fleeting family is also storm the international airport. we understand at least 7 people have been killed. or the taliban managed to seize control of the entire country 2 weeks before the u . s. is set to complete is true withdrawal. after a costly to decade for the

will at some unverified footage on social media shows him disturbing pictures as desperate afghans varying for their lives attempted to clean to the outside of a u. s. air force plane at cobble airport reports say human remains were found in the landing gear of that transport aircraft following its flight from cobble pictures of also, most of those are lucky enough to make it onto an airplane on sunday. although there they were met with another stampede. this time on board of 640 people was said to have packed inside this particular us jet. and that size, the pentagon now says it's preparing to accept $22000.00 asylum seekers. while we discuss the ongoing situation, and i've got to start with former
4:03 am
u. s. navy intelligence officer, steven rogers, who says he cannot 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, where we have seen is a caster feet. how do you leave all these people behind the aft and the citizens to, to, to be met with the baby, torture and murder. this reminds me of saigon. i was in the air force during the time saigon fell. and when i see helicopters in trouble landing on rooftops in an airport and giant u. s. air force planes having refugees, board,
4:04 am
those planes reminds me of saigon. and when we see its history repeating itself, so there is no bright future, obviously for again a 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. the us just a tunnel aussie arabic spoke to mohammed 9 from the taliban is a political office of the group. of course though we're still seen by most countries around the world as 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 these law, mac, m, or mac, m, a waged war against the occupation in order to create an independent islamic state
4:05 am
. it was claimed that there were 20 different terrorist groups, perhaps more or less operating enough gamma stand. but when the luck eminence and asked to cease far a few years ago, not a single shot was fired. and then the lama camera struck in agreement with the u. s, there were rooms in the media 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 mood. jeff, dean will know joe biden appears confused in some of his statement. 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 withdrawal for 4 months or longer,
4:06 am
we told them the same. i don't know why there is this chaos and confusion intention or why the dramatic event took place a couple, airport, the scenes cause pains all afghans and also cause fear in those trying to leave the country. i've got to start to envoy to the un told an emergency session of the security council that people in cobble are living in an absolute fear. the pastor urge the un highest body to step in and help urgently establish a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of those at risk of talents. retributions and attacks call on neighboring countries of upon us done to open the borders and facilitate exit of people trying to escape an entry of goods for humanitarian relief and operations. meanwhile, the taliban was st. patrolling the streets of cobble brandishing weapons and heavy military equipment. they will also seen driving american humvees and collecting
4:07 am
guns from people promising no one will get heard. along with sweeping territorial gains, a taliban seems to have grap, not any political power, but also us supplied firepower, namely guns, ammunition, and even helicopters as well. well, the president biden broke his silence on the crisis more than a day after the taliban took control of the country. he claimed the us mission and i've kind of thought it was never about nation building. our mission and can stand was never supposed 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 a terrorist attack on american homeland. however, his statement did come in contrast to past comments back in 2002 by and said that failing to establish a solid national government in afghanistan might create a lawless, safe haven for anti american terrors. allows these kellum often takes
4:08 am
a closer look at the president's conflicting history with the conflict. when you look at what's happening and afghan us, dan, 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 can santa was 20 years ago with clear goals. get those who attract us on september. 11th, 2001. and make sure our car could not use afghan a stand as a base from which to attack us again. we did that. now some are remembering how wishy washy joe biden was when it came to the obama white house's decision to take out. been lawton. he eventually praise the decision when it fit the overall narrative and emission that will go down in the annals of intelligence and special
4:09 am
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 oh, 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's 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
4:10 am
. 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 his 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 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
4:11 am
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 the crisis happens. so this is just another symptom of bad policies within the democratic party and the democratic party losing the good things that it ever had that it stood for. meanwhile, you leaders are growing increasingly wired about how the situation is developing in afghanistan, and they say the chaos could spread to europe in the form of a huge su, nami of refugees. of the french president and the german chancellor were among the 1st to voice that concerns stuff on belong to it is now a given that okay, it can no longer carry out attacks against the united states from gaston, as they did on september 11, 2001 with everything that has followed has not been as successful and has not been achieved in the way we had planned. on p. c. p. we must anticipate and protect
4:12 am
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 will involve the fight against irregular flows. even before recent events, the number of afghans cleaned the country. each week was estimated to be in the 10s of thousands that is now expected to grow rapidly. and faced with a crisis to us as an authorized half a $1000000000.00 in immediate aid to african refugees. however, as peter, all of a now explains, the vast majority of those migrants will not be washington's problem. europe has watched on in horror at the speed at which 20 years of nato occupation of afghanistan was turned around by the taliban advance sit down nor triple a t p. it is a challenge for peace and international stability against terrorism and those who supported
4:13 am
smith and i was promised. this is an extremely bitter development beat or dramatic and terrifying. now have to concentrate on the rescue. we don't want anybody bilaterally recognizing the taliban, and 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 quitting galveston and the return of the taliban is set to see a rise in both seeking sanctuary. but just where these people are going to go, there's already around 3000000 off gun people displaced in iran. over 2000000 of
4:14 am
whom are undocumented to iran has suggested that it could set up more refugee camps on its eastern border. but that would require funding with eyes looking towards the u 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 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
4:15 am
him, stopping return since the wrong signal and is likely to march of 8, even more f 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 in 2015. the overwhelming majority. what we know from the pope in germany and continental europe don't want to see a new wave of mess, migration, especially not from garrison where people after 40 years of war. 6 for them, it's extremely difficult to, to integrate into day very liberal and feminine european societies. so there is
4:16 am
a consensus from the center to the right. don't let them in and don't agree with the 2nd 2015. or let's get some perspective on what's really the latest now from. busy afghanistan, a local journalists belie thought was joining us live here. we're not here to national good to see you today. it is 2 days since the taliban rolled back into capital and see it control below. what is, what is the latest situation there in the city now? what we heard from malackle in an audio message, the son of the former leader in founder of on, malone mar, instructing at all. fighters to make sure no one gets into anyone's home. no one is allowed to seize a vehicle or a weapon or anything from anyone. and this is simply not allowed. we also heard from a senior tyler by leader on the state run radio television standards now controlled
4:17 am
by the taliban. the amnesty is to all former government officials and everyone in addition to work including the offer to the african women. there was some hence at the future government, you know, the official said it'll be slamming but no further details. what provided i think what you're looking at is the big test lead must. as for the taliban, how do they transition from a very neat fighting force. ready into an effective government, not a shadow government, a government that deals with its own people in the world and neighbors. and i think this is a big question. we have to wait as events are unfolding. but i've also been able to see a number of former security commanders and government officials will have been given assurances by the taliban as well as guarantees in terms of writing. you know, once they handed over their weapons and vehicles and everything that they will not
4:18 am
be harmed and they are now in cobble with their family. several of them to turn back. this is, after all, a country where that, you know, tribal rivalries, family rivalries, and grievances in revenge attacks are all very massive. you know, factors, their massive fear is in the for a lot of people, i believe, as, as you say, as you say the taliban has been saying. and as i understand, i've seen the reports have been going around major cities particularly cobble, a collecting weapons from people saying innocent civilians will not be harmed. you need a weapon to defend yourself. i think he mentioned that taliban are not allowed to go into people's homes. and yet jersey and emergency un security council session, the ask at envoy warner lives are in danger. and the taliban was conducting house to house searches for a ponens. is it that unsafe? at the moment it's difficult to get a clear picture. what the thought of i'm have now said that the, how about us did a number of people who are weighing around the homes of former officials and
4:19 am
politicians and basically, you know, picking up vehicles and weapons and other stuff saying that daughter listed that no one should be able to do that. that's just simply not allowed to taliban publicly maintain, that they will not harm anyone. that's one publicly say that they are misty, means that everyone can live here. let's see how those, you know, promises hold on the ground and practical terms. but it's all about her also added now that in full control, you know, they cannot afford criticism from the outside world and practices of everyone in terms of going after people below. what about the situation at cobble air for there being chaotic scenes coming out of f in the past? 48 hours, in fact here, and we've been showing a video of what looked like 10 more people clinging to the outside of a huge american military transport aircraft. and then i think at least 10 of them dropped off the aircraft and then plunged to the deaths. what is the situation now
4:20 am
that international airport? well, there's some comb, according to people who are inside the airport that i've been able to speak to. but you know, the future for them is uncertain, is still a very big number there. and more people cannot head towards the airport because they've had the taliban chick once on the way. and they're just horrified, you know, looking at images. i mean, one thing you have to really remember that this is also the evacuation of children and women that, you know, this is, this is just not, you know, growing up or man or young man. you know, this is about children and child died when there was people who are running away and he got like, basically walked over so, so it is alone. you know, something up to you. what is happening after 20 years of massive western investment and blood and treasure, and now it's, you know, a lot of words and promises. but how do you get those people?
4:21 am
not only those who work with americans, they're like a generation of ones who are and resettlement plans for other countries. well, i local journalist for last i was joining us live her when she has a national way. appreciate that. thank you very much. now the russian foreign ministry has said that the situation unfolding and going on is the natural result of the u. s. on nato troop withdrawal critics. washington's length, the operations of the country eventually played directly into the hands of the taliban. as anti correspondent, eagerness done off now explains they've done it finally from seriously be in the middle east to venezuela and cuba and latin america. washington has a decades long history of failed attempts to bring anti government militia is to power. and at last they've cracked the code in afghanistan with the taliban. apparently all they had to do is instead of aiding them,
4:22 am
they should have just fought against them all this time. thanks to our military and our allies 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 african army spent billions on supplying it with more noms. we spent over a trillion dollars. we trained and equipped an afghan military force with some 300000 strong, gave them every tool. they could need all of this in vain, only for the taliban to seize all the equipment. as soon as i've got to stand fools,
4:23 am
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 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 whether issued weapons to set up their own private checkpoints and extort money from travelers. various sources
4:24 am
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 u. s 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 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 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 islam extend,
4:25 am
it was very obvious to me. as soon as you know, you 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 fight in administration understood defeated. 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 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 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,
4:26 am
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 or so for now, that is a rough on this, our coverage of the unraveling situation and i've got this dawn, of course we've been following closely here at our international we will continue to do so for the meantime, your program are tons of the top of the the now we have easy read. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce. these are making the tobacco have been worse
4:27 am
long when i would show the wrong when i was just don't the world yesterday out the thing because the african and engagement equal betrayal when so many find themselves world apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, okay. yeah, you know, when you go to a 6 day marathon of creativity and multi cultural festival and the biggest variety is the competition for a few days. became a russian cultural capital. 28 categories. ahh. from filing
4:28 am
a piano to the parenting and data protection night years just throwing up over the water. you're not there this year so you could give them the growth of a 3 or 4 to be here. they filter when reading or content. the delta games only take the very best of the best buy i in the at the height of the 2020 corona virus pandemic mass media really covered stories
4:29 am
from africa. the world was more interested in kind of it, and africa had more or less infected people in europe. so one story got people's attention. newspapers reported that kenya was having an elephant baby boom journalists linked the unprecedented surge and the elephant birth rate to tourists being restricted from the pog. they said it was the most positive side of a low down, but kind of, it had nothing to do with it. ah, i went to my biggest issue. so you see 2018. we go to pretty good green and we have a lot of us as female. so 202020. yeah, 2020. we gotta be the 1. 26. you know, more rain to means more food for the female elephants to feed
4:30 am
a young. extraordinary things happen in the national park touches page of female elephant giving birth to healthy twin males. truly an extremely ran case. she said for the smart mom, mother, the good mother there, mother there. but sometimes we see the because the out being lived at the edge of this one with the mother with the government in the past year, go to the phone feed and come back to the to the call and then they will get mother go to the flock vs so do you think that we could be there so they said look so good when the mail comes go up lily the family the female.
