i, i, in the headlines this hour here with the national chaos in gulf cobbles at thousands of guns tried to flee the country, but disturbing images. so people desperately trying to cling onto an airplane to try to take off some of them later on to that my mission, i guess there was never supposed to have been nation building. it was never supposed to be ready to unified centralized democracy, a defined president biden defense is troop withdrawal blaming. be unfolding tales and i'm gonna sign on it lee, do fleeing and the afghan army for not fighting the new african reality makes you leaders very anxious over a potentially enormous to nami, of refugees on route to europe. and belong to everything that has followed has not
5:01 am
been as successful and has not been achieved in the way we had planned on we must anticipate and to protect ourselves against major, irregular migration we flows. ah, it is a moment off the mid day here in moscow, and this is our see international with your lakers worldwide headlines. a very warm welcome to a mass exodus is currently underway, enough going on with dramatic pictures coming from the capital where a huge stampede formed as people tried to leave. the city of fleeing families also stole the international airport. we understand at least 7 people that were killed. the taliban spanish received control of the entire country. now 2 weeks before the u. s. is set to complete as true withdrawal after a very costly to decades. the limit of our embassy
5:02 am
to location at the airport. it's why the president sent in a number of forces to make sure that as we continue to draw down our diplomatic presence, we do it in a safe and orderly fashion. we discussed the ongoing situation and i've got install with former u. s. navy intelligence officer, steven rogers, he 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 we have seen is a caster feet. how do you leave all these people behind the talk about the afghan assistance to, to, to be met with the baby, torture and murder. this reminds me of saigon. i was in the air force during the
5:03 am
time saigon fell. and when i see helicopters in bul landing on rooftops in an airport and giant us air force planes having 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. the us, if the channel are the are big spoke to mohammed naive from the taliban political office though of course the group is cost by most countries around the world. i thought of a terrorist organization. i think the answer to this question is really obvious. the world can see that the
5:04 am
territory of afghanistan is now under the control of the atlantic law. mchenry has waged war against the occupation in order to create an independent islamic state. it was claimed that there were 20 different terrorist groups, perhaps more or less operating enough chemist on that. but when the law make eminence and asked to cease far a few years ago, not a single shot was fired. and then the islamic camera struck in agreement with the u . s. there were rumors 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. i 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,
5:05 am
we told us that the withdrawal should take place in a strict order to an agreed schedule. we told them that every meeting and then when they postpone the withdrawal for 4 months or longer than we told them the same. i don't know why there is this chaos and confusion intention. why that dramatic event took place that couple of the scenes cause pains all afghans and also cause fear in those trying to leave the country. i've got the songs invoice, the u. n. told an emergency session of the security council that people in cobbled and living an absolute fear of the humans, highest body to step in and help urgently establish a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of doors at risk of taliban retributions and attacks call on neighboring countries of upon is done to open the borders and facilitate exit of people trying to escape an entry of goods for humanitarian relief and operations. meanwhile,
5:06 am
the taliban was st. patrolling the streets of cobbled brandishing weapons and heavy military equipment. and right there is where they were driving the american home fees. you can see we understand a lot of humphreys were left behind by the states, but also noticed humvees guns were left behind as well. and taliban is actually been going around major cities, collecting weapons from people saying they will not be heard. now along with the sweeping territorial gains, the taliban seems to have grap, not only political power, but also us supplied fire power. we're talking about guns, ammunition, and even helicopters as well. well, that president barton finally 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 got to start was never about nation building. our mission and get to stand was never supposed to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created to unified, centralized democracy or only why last interesting, again,
5:07 am
stan remains today. what has always been preventing a terrorist attack on american homeland. however, his statement does come in stark contrast to previous comments back in 2002 by and said that fading to establish a solid national government in afghanistan might create a lawless, safe haven for anti american terrorists. get him off and now takes 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 withdrawal 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 attacked us on september 11th, 2001. and make sure i kind of could not use afghan stan as
5:08 am
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 in special operations. some of america's most gifted security professionals track down osama milan. 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 owe 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
5:09 am
mass destruction. but now he's for withdrawing their to as vice president. he's supported, prime minister ma leaking and many of argued that he ended up emboldening ice 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 hoops 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 campaign for office by calling out? donald trump says unpredictable and untrustworthy. when it came, the u. s. foreign policy. well, recent moves in afghanistan are certainly not an argument in jo biden's favor. you know, it's hard to know what's going through biden's mind because he does change his mind
5:10 am
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 and 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 it ever had that it stood for. meanwhile, you leaders are growing increasingly wired about how the situation is developing enough gun just on a fear that chaos could start to europe in the form of a huge su nami of refugees. the french president and the german chancellor were
5:11 am
among the 1st to voice their concerns. my stuff on belong to it is now a given that okay, i 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 successful and has not been achieved in the way we had 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. even before recent events, the number of afghans flee in the country each and every week was estimated the 10s of thousands. that number is now expected to grow rapidly, a face with a crisis, the u. s. has now authorized half a $1000000000.00 an immediate a to ask on refugees. however, as all these peter roll up now explains, the vast majority of those migrants will not be washington's problem. europe has
5:12 am
watched on in horror at the speed at which 20 years of nato occupation of afghanistan was turned around by the taliban advance fit on north triple at p. it is a challenge for peace and international stability against terrorism and those who supported smith and i was promised. this is an extremely bitter development. the leader, dramatic and terrifying. now have to concentrate on the rescue, but 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 gone, 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
5:13 am
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 bows 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 undocumented. 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
5:14 am
do that, we have to pursue and strengthen our cooperation with pakistan. e. u. member states, all very aware that europe is a destination of choice for many fleeing. i've got this done 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 him, stopping return since the wrong signal and is likely to march of 8, even more african citizens to leave their home for the u. many hope to the 2015 refugee crisis was a warm, soft not to be repeated event. it would see know 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
5:15 am
see a new wave of mass migration, especially not from garrison where people off to 40 years of war. 6 for them, it's extremely difficult to, to integrate into the 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. well, for the very latest on the unfolding crisis, and i'm gonna start i just a short time ago, i spoke with local john list below, sort of what what we heard from malackle in an audio message, the son of the former leader in founder oliver 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
5:16 am
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 violence, and it's now controlled 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 thought about how do they transition from a very lethal fighting force 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. i've seen the reports have been going around a major cities, particularly coppel, a collecting weapons from people saying innocent civilians will not be harmed. you don't need a weapon to defend yourself. i think he mentioned that taliban are not allowed to
5:17 am
go into people's homes. and yet during an emergency un security council session, the ask at envoy wanted lives are in danger. and the taliban was conducting house to house searches for opponents. is it that unsafe at the moment it's difficult to get a clear picture. well, it's all about him have now said the listed a number of people who are weighing around the homes of former officials and politicians and basically picking up vehicles and weapons and other stuff that daughter listed that no one should be able to do that. that's just simply not allowed to tolerate, publicly maintain, that they will not harm anyone. the thought of one publicly say that they missed the means that everyone live here. let me see how those, you know, promises hold on the ground and practical terms. but it's all about are also where that now they are in full control. you know, they cannot afford criticism from the outside world and criticism. everyone in
5:18 am
terms of going after people, the russian foreign ministry has said the situation unfolding. and i've got to start is the quote natural result of the us and nato troop withdrawal, critic se washington's lengthy operations. and the country may have actually played directly into the hands of the taliban. as it goes down off now explains they've done it. finally, from siri and libya 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 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 and our allies and the brave fighters of afghanistan, said taliban regime is coming to an end. there is little doubt that our greatest
5:19 am
military challenge right now is afghan. stan, 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 a trillion dollars. we trained and equipped an afghan military force. 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, 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.
5:20 am
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 extolled money from travelers. various sources before the telephone calls were preferrable alternative, and that they were perceived as accessible, fast and less corrupt than the government established courts. so when the us says
5:21 am
something like this, that force prude, 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 and 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 extended, 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
5:22 am
public understood this. and i'm not even sure that the bite in administration understood defeat. 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, 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.
5:23 am
the oh, i do my recent studies, 90 percent of all the money for a thing for all the different programs never leaves walter. yes. right. so just stay on while you're saying, here's an infrastructure bell, road tunnels bridge is and they to 1000 paid bill. they numerate all the things where this one is supposed to go. and then they pass the bell. then they authorize the money to be printed and then they sent it for distribution to wall street. a lot of places on a be key that very clearly in the money philosophy chart, which is all was going towards europe that never goes anywhere, tested on wall street balance sheet and they use it to buy expensive property. and
5:24 am
that's been the story now for more than 20 years. ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation community? are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah
5:25 am
ah, good mr. was admitted as well. so when you said that i could go to google. i want you to do i see. yeah, going to show you where you need to bring it in the other molar. that's what you will cover financing and your 1st bill, i don't know if you me to follow the lease you might not. although a lot nobody me on there is a sucker and you say you forgot to tell
5:26 am
me your partially hon, which ah ah ah, this is boom. but the one business show you can't afford to miss branch of boring washington coming up. the volatility continues to slam china as the delta vary and the natural disaster hits the country heart rate had we discussed the choppy conditions facing the world's 2nd largest economy. and afghanistan has now been
5:27 am
taken by the alphabet as the last of the u. s. embassy staff has been evacuated from the nation. we to look at what impact the turmoil could have on international market. and later we look at the recovery in the airline sector as mass cancellation and delay issues hit the industry hard of impact. so today, let's dive right in the the and we lead 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 tactics on monday. missing analysts expectations after thing 8.3 percent growth in june. also missing predictions retail sales. they were up
5:28 am
a point 5 percent in july from the same month last year after seeing an expansion of more than 12 percent in june. meanwhile, in japan, according to data released monday, the world's 3rd largest. the company expanded 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? while 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.
