i lose, ah, one of the desperate ass down here flung on to a military playing, taking off from cobbled food. the appeal on his for his fate is well known. some one told her plunge to the town about grief. the media after a seizure of power from the thing that it sees no refund, and that was for, for an all means all for given, the revealed one of the telephone commanders gave victory to from the capital presidential part of spend is as a detainee on one ton of pain i it doesn't matter will be ours. we all here. this is our teens national court and

lives from moscow that shooting in well the story that we've been talking about for a few days now. more scenes of chaos in afghanistan after the town of bonds, takeover of the country gunshots were fired up the international apple. and cobble as people scrambled to flee the new regime. some tried to scale perimeter tools and fences to reach evacuation flights with desperate parents dragging that children over the barbed wire there on confirmed reports, a ton of on flight shot and man scaling wall 7. people have been confirmed killed at the airport in the last few days. the satellite imagery taken on sunday kept to the tom oral in and around the hub as thousands attempted to flee due to lack of petrol locals reports. they abandon that cause why the roadside fuel is expensive in college right now. and this hope to

find some of those who reach the apple, so desperate to guess how they resorted to clinging to planes that were taking off this video was filmed by one of those who took that risk. it's unclear what the fate was. so since the video houses emerged from line, it's hope he was one of the lucky ones, survived. but others once a lucky hum, verified and disturbing video has emerged online apparently showing some of those who had clung to a u. s. assholes, plain failing falling to the deaths, and it's reported the human remains well so found in the landing gear. very plain alternate flight from koppel file with dumped the log of drugs in the car park of the capital that port locals a bond that attempted to flee. we all slope which on the street not just saw about the situation on the ground. there we go. the room of the one i just saw your house in public to be also the are locked in for the government. the follow the every day said that you're looking for the journalist and, and call it was

a shocking for everyone. even for me, i left my office on a red flag a place, but immediately in the night that the d p of below i. but a lot of the file found out, i'm the leader of all of us. well, how much money he published? i mean, many states that the cobbler people are safe to talk about the cobble predictor of the cobbler people and down the route of the tunnel on a fight that permission to enter to the out of the people and well as people from the taliban has given a media briefing in which to try to assure towns that they would be safe if they stayed in particular the terrorist groups that it would not exact revenge on those who had collaborated with the us coalition. while for more on exactly what it was that the taliban set them now join lived by to meet your park. the key message

coming out of that fast as press briefing from taliban in afghanistan gives them forget. well, pretty much it seems that the whole purpose of this press briefing has been to give the international community a sort of face to the taliban leadership and what it plans to do with the country. now that it's pretty much taken over and by the sound of it it's actually seems kind of progressive and peaceful, especially coming from the taliban. they talked about mass pardons, but typically anybody or any of their enemies, but also things like women's rights and media freedoms. spokespersons to be with them when he'd made actually quite a lot of statements. but yeah, he did start the press conference for me by saying that the taliban had emancipated the country and that expelled all foreign fighters. but after that, it took a rather peaceful turn and basically said that the taliban no longer wishes nathan to be a wars zone and it doesn't want to have any internal or external enemies. and so

she that they started by announcing mass pardons for anyone and everyone basically saying that there will be no interrogation or any sort of revenge for any of the foreign fighters and foreign workers, or even afghan citizens who might have helped them throughout the years. but after that, he moved on to women's rights saying that the soon to be forms government, which is what the taliban is working on right now. apparently would work to ensure women's rights are protected. although he didn't specify that it would still be within the framework of sure real law, basically the cornerstone of islamic values. but here he reiterated that women would be allowed to work. they would be an active part of society. and that nobody would basically be discriminated against. after that he moved on to the media saying that media and even independent media would be allowed to function and work as long as it respects islamic values. and even encouraged the media to highlight the shortcomings of the upcoming government, but warned not to work against it. and i'll take that as you may. and he also said

that private media would be allowed to be free and independent again, once again, as long as it protects the islamic values. but after the huge stress that the telephone leaders all of this is that they don't want anybody to leave the country . that they want all the foreign companies, the foreign embassy is everything they want and all of that to continue working. and they would work to make sure everybody's safe and secure. they even said that the reason they went to couple was because it's all the chaos and they just wanted to take it under control. but other, another concern that many people have is now that the taliban has control of, of ghana stand that it could mean that other terrorist groups could move in some territory. but once again, they stated that they would not allow of gayness and soil to be used by anybody against anybody. but all these statements, the they've actually said this stuff several times already and various interviews, including one interview that they gave to our tea. they are not exposed to any

danger because they are in our homeland, among their people. we strive to make the future for the people and the country worthy. we have no desire to take revenge on these people. we strive to ensure that all people united, despite all the challenges we want to build a new country and make our people have a decent future. we have issued a number of decrees including the decrease concerning those translators who collaborated with the occupying regime for one reason or another. the past is the past. they don't have any problems right now. so obviously the taliban is trying to paint itself as reasonable someone that the west can deal with. but given the history of people going to buy it? no, i don't think everybody's going to buy it because obviously a lot of people are still skeptical. i mean, just look at the mass exodus from afghanistan right now. the, all the planes and all the scenes, everything that's happening. obviously not everybody's happy about the taliban being in control. but the spokesperson himself has kind of addressed this point of saying that the taliban is not the same that it was 20 years ago when they were

back in power. explained that over these 20 years of occupation that the taliban and gas stan, people have evolved. and the things that the taliban government would do today is not exactly the same thing they would have done 20 years ago. and this evolution sort of offense. you can see it, they now have twitters, they now hold press conferences, which are rather civil considering many people probably would've expected something a bit more barbaric, especially when they heard the term taliban press conference. but of course it's still remains to be seen if any of these grand promises will be caps. but what if anything, this shows that the taliban has at least learn how to do p r and how to communicate with the west? using words and key phrases that the international community seems to generally like if you believe them, it's taught a bonded to point out, shape and time will tell that was to meet your pug money. thanks. while the new look taliban, the way we're just talking about has already failed to convince some with the is

foreign policy chief, joseph brown, saying that the only thing that had improved in the group compared with 20 years ago was our ability to speak english. you liters are growing increasingly worried about the situation in afghanistan. they fear the chaos can spread, of course, to europe, by promoting a large influx of refugees to the brown says, the block will help countries, the neighboring afghans don't to deal with migration flows. need to coordinate between to be a union member, the states congress. it will be how you know and we will have to support it. timesheets and neighbors. countries as well. that's free. and now of course bonding, paula, paula, what is the latest reaction from european need to is on this on ruffling tail in afghanistan? well we heard from joseph borrow and he summed up

a online tele conference by you phone ministers in which he said that they agreed that the main priority was the safe evacuation of european nationals and african citizens who had worked with them for more than 20 years. if indeed they wanted to be evacuated, he said that it was extremely important for you to engage with the taliban. but he did say that it was not about officially recognizing the group, but rather about working with them and that this would ultimately lead to being able to prevent a humanitarian and date and potential migratory disaster. he also said that, that you would be providing humanitarian aid to afghanistan, but you don't have countries that are happy, you particularly not france, germany enjoy eastern european capitals and they want other countries to take on the burden of dealing with refugees. first we have to discuss how to

accommodate the people in the neighboring countries and move forward. the next step would be to look further, but a european solution would certainly be difficult. we have not yet managed to create a common asylum policy development. this would be, 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 in the city . now, despite miracles, concern about the human crisis and the potential impact that it could have on europe, she did find time to attend a premier in berlin. and this is despite the fact that germany has only managed to evacuate, save and of its nationals from cabal. some leaders are very pessimistic. you have for example, the check president my list zeeman and he said in without me mixing his words,

that nato had failed in afghanistan. he also said its legitimacy was now in question. and it had failed at its main talk, which is fighting international terrorism. he also said that the united states had lost it standing as a world lead to take a look at them. the distrust towards native from a number of member countries will grow up to this experience because they will say if you failed and again, it's done. whereas the guarantee that you won't fail in any other critical situation. now austria has called on those countries, that neighbor afghanistan to sit up deportation centers, and this would be a way for them to handle those people trying to flee the taliban. austria, of course, continues to maintain a very hard line, staunch when it comes to refugees. and then you have turkey, which is in the final stages of building a 295 kilometer thing with it border with the red. and that is to stop the

influx of refugees from afghanistan. the natures to critique general summed up the nato priority in this way. navy focus right now is to ensure the safe departure or personnel from ally the important countries and of the africans who have helped us not stolen. the good admit that the military and political collapse of the african government did surprise everyone. he also said he was frustrated that years of effort by the international community had essentially not amounted to much in his words, had not produced better results. i'll bring nothing. you're a pen perspective. that was all t's. paula said reporting from paris. many things me tongue spoke to doctor robert good. she's an associate professor at lancaster university, specializing in us politics. he says, the crisis and kind of song, but yet more strain on washington's relations with europe. i think that europe

already is under massive stream in terms of humanitarian aid that it provides to other nations and in the region. i, i don't, i don't know why we're not seeing united states president standing. i've been saying, okay, we cause this weather was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago or last week. and we need to step in and help with there's nobody should have to go and live in a refugee camp. because a western democracy is decided that it's nice, you're building a must be clear, it was nation building. that was the mission that we were there for. if we remember back to, to those days, and as a reporter, i remember reporting and those types of ways that this was about democracy as much as it was about other things, such as stopping. but nobody should have to live in a refugee camp because of these decisions that are being made by western government

. one of the taliban commanders who was giving a victory experience from inside the presidential pot as soon optimum medicines took over the african capital is it's a merged a form, a detainee out americas infamous. guantanamo bait prison count while go. la ronnie was born in 1975, was recruited by the taliban in the ninety's adventure during the movement, so called ministry of intelligence in 2001. he was detained by us forces and couple subsequent, a sentence to guantanamo bay where he was among the fast p t knees that wasn't costs rated until 2007. at the time, ronnie was deemed by us intelligence as a medium level threat to the us and its allies almost expected to join groups dedicated to attacking us forces in afghanistan if released. and yet the americans did release them in the end addressing the review panel. ronnie report you claimed

he was just an ordinary shopkeeper who wanted to return twice canister on to cast his sick father. on we heard from scott ritter, a former marine corps intelligence officer. he told us at places like one panama was band to create extremis. the united states is very rarely has 100 percent accurate information on people. we detained that these people for, for many years. if i were detained off the street as an innocent person and subjected to in humane treatment in an illegal facility for a number of years by an occupying party. and then i was released, my life would focus solely on killing those people. so when, when people get radicalized by undergoing an experience that no human being should be subjected to, we shouldn't be surprised. it's 100 percent counterproductive. i mean, anybody was, any brain knows that this is not how you go forward. i mean,

last kinda sounds of weiss president has vowed to keep up the fight against the taliban. i'm wrote a solid tweet to the he was inside the country was now in fact the acting president or port say around 10000, ask our troops on their way to punch ship province to join the resistance. this area is very close. you can see that to cobble and includes a strategically important role that needs to the north of the country. solid has reportedly been joined by all the military commanders. he refused to given the northern part of the afghan san has historically been a form in the town upon side. it was home to the so called move and alliance which fought against the terrorists in the ninety's. according to some reports, fighting has already broken out with asking forces managing to wrest control of some areas near the capital. meanwhile, fresh videos and lodge said to be of women protesting in a cobble that demanding that rights, being respected, inclusion, to walk to education and to political participation. the town though,

has actually been arching women to join the government and in another unprecedented move, a telephone official sat with a female presenter for an interview with total news in africa on television station, full part of a p all campaign to present a more direct site of the group to the walled. my colleagues new harvey discuss the future press freedoms in the country that sees the last chairman and chief executive of movie group, which overseas, taller news from the like the title of trying to win hearts and minds. they're trying to convince the political establishment people outside the taliban movement to join and support the taliban movement that are trying to secure international support. so i think it's a bit early. it's a bit too early to judge as to what the long term intentions are. there will be a transitional government know that they may be more restrictive and eventually they'll be emerett at the top. i have better ways so long ways to go before we can

say that they're receptive to women on television or to, you know, equal opportunity for math kind of sense. how do you feel about freedom of speech, enough canister. the moment you kind of optimistic may be feared the worst when intolerable came into power. but how are you feeling in the moment? i'm feeling neither. i think it's too early and we have to assume that they have changed for good. a freedom of speech is not just on reporting on facts. i mean they, they believed that gods on their side. and the holy koran is that constitution. and then they can never be challenged in time. they will need to be need to get channels and we'll see how much capacity they have for criticism when that happens too, too, too early. and we have months and months ahead of us to see if they actually their, their actions match the words. it's understandable. we've seen an awful lot of people fleeing the heading for the airport. it's been tragic at times,

watching the people who tends to get out of you had any of your stops saying look, you know, we just not comfortable with this. we want to go. yes, we have and there are many who want to stay on and continue their work and some who wish to get that. i mean what the taught about doing that and the coming weeks will determine what people do in the years. i had this, this sort of this, this middle class, this youth was 60 percent off kind of sort of under the age of 20. and they can, they can make or break the country. and if they leave, we lose our educated class. so really is up to the top line in terms of how they behave and their behavior is going to impact what people do in the months ahead. president boynton broke his silence on the crisis. more than a day off to the town took control of the country. he claimed the u. s. mission i've got on was nothing about nation building. our mission and ghana stand was

never supposed to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created, the unified centralized democracy are only vital, less interest. and again stan remains today. what has always been preventing a terrorist attack on american homeland. but his statement came in stark contrast to past comments back in 2002 bite and said that failing to establish a solid national government in afghanistan might create a lawless, safe haven for him or can terrorist caleb moore and takes a closer look at the president's history with the conflict. 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 a base from which to attack is 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 the lot and eventually praise the decision when it fit the overall narrative and emission that will go down in the annals of intelligence and special operations some of america's most gifted security professionals track down osama milan after the trail had gone cold. the jo, 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 supported prime minister ma leaking and many of argues 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 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 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 u. s. 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 bindings 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 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 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 had ever had that it stood for almost 20 years of us involvement. afghanistan has taken a, has told millions of people,

it's also not be inclined to american taxpayers who hot to foot the bill. one of the country's most expensive rules in history. we take a look at the extraordinary cost of the campaign. on my orders near the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda, terrorist training camps, and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan. we will win this conflict by the patient's accumulation of successes by meeting a series of challenges with determination and will and purpose the the the the the

the wealthiest country in the history of the world. and yet we have the higher trial poverty rate of almost any country on earth. our mission afghan stand was never supposed to been nation building off to the taliban takeover. the red cross said it will keep staff in afghanistan and continue providing assistance to fights. while recently the a organization reported that since during the foster had treated 14000 people wounded in fighting in the country, while the 5th of august alone, so far as 8000 the red crosses direct of asia pacific says that in recent years, over half the casualties have been women and children on the recent

fighting, you know, in the country. and in the recent days we've been seeing a number of ensured must have been injured in that would fighting down leg got it right and created huge you monitor in need. here are deeply you back a bit more from the fighting over the years here. the concern is really much on the women and children that are making more than half of the casualties such that we have. we have, you know, we're, we're supported because here from there you'll have to imagine where the long term shuffling and baby once you have been to us because you're going to be also referred to those think i rehabilitation printer where it will take years to just print a paper that could have been dictated from, from those ones. we are very much committed to continue with the work be in

a hospital. but that's not on me that i can understand the reason find psyche and this is not something that we are denying. however much of the room that we have had over the years and he's already known and we've been walking in pregnancy control, pretty bad control. i read to him, i'm very much going to be that we can continue working with. he's are very much the ones are trying to teach independence and it's very crucial, particularly at this moment. that's when is ition stand by the was the ah, ah, the join me

every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me. the remember when abide and that there is a tale bond take over that now and editable. no, it is not because you have the afghan troops have 300000 well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 college is not enough. and then 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

. well, the shy of 40 days later we have images like this one coming from the ball. and yes, there are the images of helicopters, listing americans off the us and the state. and now the taliban has announced the renaming of the country. the law mac m a. in a sam. so why did president biden it's totally get the future for us, get us in so wrong. and what is being called biden's saigon moment as a reference to the failures, the u. s. suffered in vietnam in 1975. we're going to discuss the long, outspoken critic of the war, and i'm going to stand with congressman. i'm going to bring you at the latest comments on the africana stand from the president following his emergence from vacation as was the 360 view on whether or not the biden administration deserves the blame for the expedius class of the african government. considering this was something president trump.
