we must anticipate to protect ourselves against major irregular my great re flows. ah, it's already a busy tuesday for your worldwide news headlines. welcome to the program. here it's off the internet. so a mass exodus is currently underway, enough gun us 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 were reportedly killed. now the taliban has manager sees control of the entire country just 2 weeks before the u. s. is set to complete his troop withdrawal after a costly to decades. the
6:02 am
unverified footage on social media show some disturbing pictures are right here. for example, desperate afghans spring for their lives attended. just hang onto the outside of a massive us across a report say human remains were found in the landing gear of the us military transport aircraft following its flight from cobble pictures of also emerged those lucky enough to make it onto a plane on sunday, although they were met with another crush of people this time on board. 640 people were said to have packed inside this particular us jet. and that is as the pentagon right now, it says is preparing to accept 22000 asylum seekers. the u. s embassy in cobble has
6:03 am
also been evacuated with staff, fleeing in a helicopter to the capitals airport. it has led to comparisons being made on line to a similar evacuation almost 50 years ago during the war in vietnam. washington assist . there's no parallels to the events in saigon. let's take a step back. this is manifestly not saigon. we're working to make sure that our personnel are safe and secure. we're relocating the minimum of our embassy to a 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 that i've got to start 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
6:04 am
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 as a cast her feet. how do you leave all these people behind the talk about 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. so i got fell. and when i see helicopters in trouble landing on rooftops in an airport and giant u. s. air force planes having him 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 much of
6:05 am
a bright future either. the assist a channel or the arabic spoke to mohammed name from the taliban political office. of course, the group is still crossed by most countries in the world that have a terrorist organization. so 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 are these law mac i'm or it 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 these law mac 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 us. there were rumors in the media reports the different groups were in conflict over
6:06 am
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 mujahid dean. oh no, 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, 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 apple. the scenes cause paint all afghans and also cause fear in those trying to leave the country of the latest on the on holding crisis. and i've got us on just
6:07 am
a short time ago in the program. i spoke with local journalist below somebody. 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 the senior taliban leader on the state run radio television violence and it's now controlled by the power button. the amnesty is to all former government officials and everyone including the offer to the african women. there was some hands that 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
6:08 am
a very nice and 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 in major cities, particularly koppel, 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 go into people's homes and yet jersey and emergency un security council session. the ask at envoy was that 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. what this other bottom have now said. they have 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 saying that daughter listed that no one should be able to do that. that's just simply not allowed the taliban publicly maintain,
6:09 am
that they will not harm anyone. the thought of on publicly say that they missed the means that everyone live here. let's see how those promises hold on the ground and practical terms. but it's all about are also added now that in full control, you know, they cannot afford criticism from the outside world and criticism everyone in terms of going after people. meantime afghanistan's envoy to the un told an emergency session of the security council. the people in cobble and living an absolute fear, their baset are urged us highest 40 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 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,
6:10 am
the taliban was seen patrolling the streets of cobble brandishing weapons and heavy military equipment. and they will also seen driving american humphreys like that on right back, but also collecting guns from people promising no one will get heard. now, along with a sweeping territorial gains, the taliban seems to have grabbed, not only political power, but also us supplied firepower, namely guns i munition and even helicopters as well. president biden did break his silence on the crisis. more than a day after the taliban to control of the country. he claimed the us mission, the enough kindness dawn was never about nation building. our mission and ghana stand was never supposed to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created a unified, centralized democracy or only vital last interest. and again, stan remains today. what has always been preventing a terrorist attack on american homeland. however, his stable came in contrast to past comments back in 2002 by them said that fading
6:11 am
to establish a solid national government in afghanistan might create quote, a lawless, safe haven for anti american terrorists ortiz caleb muffin now takes a closer look at the president's conflicting history with the conflict. when you look at what's happening in 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 afghans stan 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
6:12 am
out the lot and 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 the man a 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 supported prime minister ma leaking and many of argues that he ended up
6:13 am
emboldening ice when it came to libya, biden was very outspoken in supporting the overthrow of what was it that time, one of the most stable and economically prosperous regimes on the african continent 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 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 jo biden's 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,
6:14 am
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 going on. and they fear the chaos could spread through europe with a huge su nami of refugees. and the french president and the german chancellor were among the 1st voice that consent my stuff on belong to it is now a given that ok, that can no longer carry out a tax against the united states from gaston,
6:15 am
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 p. 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 fleeing of the country each week was estimated to be already and the 10s of thousands will. now that number is expected to grow rapidly to face with the crisis. the u. s. has not authorized half a $1000000000.00 in immediate a to african refugees. however, as peter all about 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
6:16 am
afghanistan was turned around by the taliban advance fit the north pole at p. it is a challenge for peace and international stability against terrorism and those who supported smith and france tom, this is an extremely bitter development. the beater, 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 gun it's done, and many more are expected to do the same here in germany, the man who's looking to replace anglo merkel 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 a serious 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
6:17 am
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 whom are and documented to ron has suggested that it could set up more refugee camps on its east in border. but that would require funding with eyes looking towards the a you for help. pakistan is 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, all very aware that europe is
6:18 am
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 march of 8, even more of going 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 thinking to leave their country and dead would be much more than we have seen and 2015. the overwhelming majority of what we know from the poems in germany and continental europe. don't want to see a new wave of mass migration, especially not from garrison where people off to 40 years of war
6:19 am
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 doing to agree with the 2nd 2015. the russian foreign ministry has said the situation unfolding and i've gotten 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 authorities. ecos done off now explained finally from seriously b, a 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. i've got has done with the taliban
6:20 am
. 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, taliban regime is coming to an end. there is little doubt that our greatest 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. we gave them every tool they could need all of
6:21 am
us 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. 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
6:22 am
30 percent of the recruited place of deserted with issued weapons to set up their own private checkpoints and extol money from travelers. various sources before the taliban courts were 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 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
6:23 am
the united states invested in in nation building in iraq and how the iraqi security forces word. at 1st sight of islam extend, 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 hinting 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 receive. 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 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,
6:24 am
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 . the the who's the the
6:25 am
ah, me, this is your, me, the a reflection of reality the in the world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer relation community? are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? what is faith in the world corrupted?
6:26 am
you need to this end. ah, so join us in the depths, remained in the shallows. ah, ah, you know, mr. moseley, when you said that, could you but the good to google i want you to do i see you're going to show you so you didn't know how to put it in the is the mother molar. that's what you will cover. your 1st bill. i don't know if i use them in your voice to follow my
6:27 am
lease. you might not, although a lot nobody me on the on you say you forgot to tell me your partially hon. ah ah ah
6:28 am
ah, remember when abide and there is a tale take over that now and editable. no, it is not because you have the app can troops at 300000 well equipped as well as cookies. any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 colleagues is not a and then he even went on to say this. there's going to be no circumstance for you to see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all come from the shy of 40 days later we have images like this one coming from google. and yes, there are the images of helicopters, listing americans off the us in the state. and now the taliban has announced the
