this phone existence was the one of the desperate guy who clung to us military playing, taking off from cobbled films the old deal on his phone. his fight is unknown, but others went on to plunge that death. meanwhile, cut about and reached the media off its power grab promising it, no revenge. and that i can see worked for foreign armies all forgiven. it's also revealed a ton of commodity. we gave a victory speeds from couples. presidential ta ta spend year the me and $100.00 bay . ah,

for moscow, thanks for joining us tonight on our team financial. i'm daniel hawkins with utah. sunrise. welcome to the program. first up for more scenes of chaos, and i've got to start off with a ton of bonds. takeover. we've gunshots fired at the international airport in cobble, as people scrambled to flee the new regime. some tried to scale perimeter walls and fences. the reach of occupation flights we've desperate parents dragging their children over the barbed wire and confound reports to tell about a fight or shot, a man scaling a wall, while 7 people have been confirmed killed at the airport in the last few days. the misery taken on sunday capture the turmoil and around the hob. thousands attempted to flee due to lack of petrol locals, apparently abandoned that cause at the roadside. fuel is expensive there right now and difficult to find some of those reached the airport, was so desperate to it out,

they resorted to me to planes that were taking off the video was filmed by one of those that took that risk. it's unclear what their face was though, since the video has the most on line. it's hoped they were one of the lucky ones. while others suffered worse fates. this isn't verified and disturbing footage that emerged on line apparently showing some of those who clung to a u. s. air force plane falling to the death is reported. human remains were also found in the landing gear of that same plane after a flight from cobble farms and munition were dumped. the luggage racks in the copy of the capitals in fort locals, abandoned them in the attempt to flee. we've heard from local journalists below, so worry on what's going on on the ground right now. while the taliban are clearly trying to adopt to the massive political and social changes that exist in this country. for example, 20 years ago,

i ones didn't have access to internet. you didn't have the vibrant media, you didn't have the citizen journalism generation. it can be ted on the other side as well. they are using social media, the new media. and they also know what changes have taken place, events unfolding really, really quickly. and the spokesman did said at the amnesty offer extended to everyone, including those who worked with the americans was something to be 100 and known as to fit anyone. and he also said one of potential and talent could contribute to one is done and they'll be a power shedding government and islamic government, although no further details were provided. so you know, the fact that the taliban, what interviewed lab understands largest. busy television station, hello. that's something that would not happen 20 years ago. the thought about it would not allow it of understand didn't have, you know, such a powerful media outlet. so we will have to see how the transition takes place for

the taliban from fighting into politics. into governance, how can they keep, for example, i want to sound functional? how can we keep a city like cobbled functional which is why the of us the form a man of cobble to stand its position. mr. sultan, joy. it was a one time close ally of den president of why me and the minister of hell. why much row who are working during the corona pandemic has been kept on as position to continue serving the people. so obviously there's that understanding among taliban that to run the bureaucracy and to run the government, they would need the help of the former government officials. they have actually called on to come back on as people trying to flee the taliban, gave him debriefing in which should attempted to assure africa and they would be safe if they stayed in particular. instead, it would not exact revenge on those who collaborated with the us coalition through

power cody, i was in the studio with my colleagues, ask your tailor to discuss what that means. that seems to be the main message of peace and love. i guess the taliban leadership made this press conference apparently to kind of give a faith to the international community that this is a new taliban that they're friendly. they want to make peace. one of the 1st things that they 1st again said is that they want peace, which would mean that there would be no interrogations. and no revenge or any of that sort against anybody who worked in any ford citizens of foreign fighters, foreign workers, or even of gas and citizens who health the coalition. during these years after that, the folk person for the taliban leadership went on to talk about things like women's rights that women would now have a much better under the new government that the taliban leadership will make. they're still working on that part. they would have all their rights protected, they would be come a very active part of society. they would be able to work on air and even have hold

places and positions in government. although they did stress, of course, that this would be under the guidelines of serial law. so whatever that means and how that would be actually implemented. after that, he talks about media freedom. once again everybody can work. everybody can function even encourage the media to highlight the shortcomings of the afghanistan government. although he didn't warn for it not to work against the government. and independent media would also be allowed to remain free and independent basically. so all these messages, they're basically saying that this is a new taliban leadership. this is going to be new. and they've been talking about this all over the place. basically saying these messages to anybody, even our team reached out for an interview with them. and here's what they said. they're 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 it's a media charm offensive dance for sure. but how convinced our people? well, obviously not everybody is convinced. we can see from all the care going on and again, stand with the mass exodus and all the scenes of people trying to flee the country . because, phil, it's the taliban internationally recognize terrorist organizations. but the taliban leadership has stress that what it tries to convey is trying to convey that they've changed. it's been 20 years since they were in power. and over these 20 years, the afghan people grew and grew. and they're not the same taliban, there they were back then. and kind of shows i guess you could say because now they have twitter handles. they're holding press conferences that by all means are civil . i'm sure many people thought it would be something more barbaric when they heard

a taliban press conference. there's a lot of promises made here, right. so it's still remains to be seen if any of these promises will be held. but one thing this press conference has shown at least, is that the taliban has learned p r. basically it's learn how to communicate with the west. it's learned how to use these key words that the international community generally likes the new look taliban as a very failed to come at some with the use foreign policy. chief joseph burrell, saying the only thing that had improved in the group and the last 20 years was its members ability to speak english easily as a growing increasingly worried about the situation in the country. here in the chaos because spread to europe by prompting, a large influx of refugees, or l at the block will help. i'm going to start the neighbors deal with migration flows. need to coordinate between the to be a union member, the states congress. it would be how you know was yeah, and we would have to support it. timesheets and neighbors countries. well,

joseph borrow, who we were listening to, their summed up the sentiments, expressed at a online meeting of the you foreign ministers in which he said that the priority was the safe evacuation of european and of any african citizens who had worked with them for more than 20 years, if indeed they wanted to be evacuated. he also said that they were ready to engage with the taliban. this did not mean official recognition that it was an, except and not everybody in europe. it's happy you have, for example, from germany in eastern european capitals who are asking the question why other countries are not taking on the burden of dealing with these 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. now, despite miracles, concern about the human crisis and the potential impact that this could have on europe. but she did manage to find time to attend, to form premier in berlin. and despite the criticism that so far, gemini had only evacuated save and of its national from cabal. at the same time, a number of leaders are very pits, the mystic you have, for example, the check president my list zeeman, who had said that nature failed in getting done. and its legitimacy has now been brought into question the distrust towards nato. 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. at austria, it has cold on neighboring countries to have time to set up people taishan centers as a way of handling immigrants that are attempting to flee the taliban. also, of course, is maintaining a very hard line stance when it comes to immigrants. you then have turkey, which is in the final stages of building a 295 kilometer road along the border with the ran to prevent african refugees from entering that country. the nato secretary general said the priority for nato was as follows. nato's focus right now is to ensure the safe departure or personnel from ally than partner countries. and of the africans who have helped us still to get mr. that europe was surprised at the speed of the political and military collapse. of the council government, it was something that they had not anticipated. he also said that he was frustrated

that after years of international assistance, the results were to quote him not better. a british journalist focuses on international affairs, richard men. her thanks to ease, not concerned with human rights, but prophets and foreign policy objective. we've known for decades now that the war and again a standard last it was last from day one that this government was never going to work. and yet a series of us generals and nato officials lying about the capacity and capability of the afghan government that they set up. and the security forces who they pump full of weapons to make money for the arms industry. if the taliban have of course territorial control, they don't have what is, of course, the western legitimacy just yet neither from the un and, nor from and just certainly not from the u. s. and the u. k. one egg on their faces because they've been telling us for 20 years that they're trying to set up a government there and they have failed miserably. because the whole thing was a racket to make money for the weapons industry will never about nation building or about delivering democracy was while making money for the private sector. it's that

simple. you the western world. busy they claim it's about human rights. they say that recognizing a taliban government, a potential taliban government is contingent upon human rights. but again, i find this hard to believe. i think the real factor is not human rights for them. it's whether it's profitable, whether it's convenient for their foreign policy objectives. i think the most important thing to see how russia, china and iran deal with ghana, stan and, you know, consider ties with with them. not necessarily the united states alone, because obviously the taliban have, you know, they've called their bluff. the aftermath of the televisions, rapid entry into cobble, washington refrain from comment. joe biden is national security. advisor bo has no outlined us strategy. and his views of the situation to the press for the white house press secretary comments they might take away the us didn't expect things to go that way. and they certainly are now not quite sure what to do. even well drawn plans don't survive 1st contact with reality. this is happen more rapidly than we

anticipated. here i, there is chaotic situation in cobble where we don't even have the establishment of a governing authority. when you're at a point where things are happening more quickly than anyone would have anticipated . then you're going to have some chaotic scene slash listen to us officials discussing afghanistan. they don't seem to be providing real information and seem to be emphasizing that they don't have a clear picture of the answers. the questions that are being asked. and one question that came up is, what about all the weapons the united states has provided to afghan security forces over the years. where did they go? those black hawks were given to the top. they were given to the african national security forces to be able to defend themselves. we don't have a complete picture, obviously of where every article of defense materials has gone by. certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the taliban. and obviously we

don't have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport. now, mid these fumbling responses that indicate perhaps a lack of knowledge of what's really going on. we are seeing us officials try out an old tried and true method flap on some sanctions and hope everything works out. i am not going to go into the full planet panel play of things that we can do, but there are obviously issues related to sanctions. there remains to be seen whether or not the taliban really cares about us. sanction, however, washington has made clear is not going to sacrifice any more american lives on the altar of democracy in afghanistan, however, national security, advisor sullivan did make clear. he cares deeply about afghan women, truly deeply. my heart goes out to ask in women and girls in the country today under the tall. so amid confusion, as the global community looks on the situation and afghan us, dan has

a lot of questions for us. leaders about what they did know and didn't know and what's going to happen in the future. i'm sure everyone is totally reassured by these answers that have just been provided by washington officials and c'mon, who gave victory speech from inside the presidential potter, soon off, the militants took over the african capital is its march. the form of the tiny america's infamous one moved by prison camp. so who is he? gala maroon honey, was born in 1975. he was recruited by the how about the 900 ninety's eventually joining the movement so called ministry of intelligence. that when 2001, he was subsequently detained by us forces and taken to tell him by what he was among the 1st, the chinese. now there he was incarcerated until 2007. now at the time, for honie was deemed by us intelligence as a medium level threat to both the us and its allies. he was expected to join groups

dedicated to attacking us forces in afghanistan if relief. yet the americans eventually did let him go. addressing the review puddle for honey, reportedly claimed he was an ordinary shopkeeper. he wanted to return home to care for his sick father. we heard from scott ritter, a former marine corps intelligence officer, he told list of places like guantanamo bound to create extreme. the united states is very rarely has 100 percent accurate information on people. we detained 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, while i've got some vice president us around to keep up the fight against the taliban, i'm outta solid. tweeted he was inside the country and was now in fact the acting president. reports say around 10000 gun troops on their way to punch your province to join the resistance. this area is very close to campbell includes a strategically important road that leads to the north of the country. solid has reportedly been joined by other military commanders. he refused to give in. the northern part who have got a thought has really been a thorn in the town side. it was home to the so called northern alliance, which fought against the terrace in the ninety's. according to somerville fighting has already broke out without the forces managing to wrest control of some areas

near the capital. meanwhile, fresh videos are much said to be of women, protesting and cobble in the morning. that rights be respected, including to work as you cation and political participation. the thought about no has actually been urging women, apparently to join the government. in another unprecedented taliban official sat, but a female presenter for an interview with hollow news. and i've got a television station, it's all part of a p all campaign to present a more moderate side of the group to the world. am i called a new hobby, discussed the future of press freedoms in the country was more funny. is the chairman and chief executive of movie group which overseas follow news like the title of trying to win hearts and minds. they're trying to convince the political establishment people outside the tunnel on 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 us 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 an emerett at the top on have their way. 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 some. how do you feel about freedom of speech in afghanistan? the moment you kind of optimistic, maybe you feared the worst when the taliban 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 freedom of speech is not just reporting on facts. i mean they, they believed that gods on their side and the holy koran is that a 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 that tends to get out. have 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 taliban do in the, in the coming weeks will determine what people do in the years. i had this, this of this, this middle class, this youth bows, you know, 60 percent off for november, 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 it's 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.

after the taliban take i with the red cross settle, keep stuff in. i've got to stop and continue providing assistance to all sides. recently the aid organization reported that since june, the 1st it treated 40000 people wounded in fighting in the country. the 3rd of august alone so far is $8000.00. the red cross is director of asia and the pacific said that in recent years, over half the casualties have been women and children on the we some fighting in the, in the country. and visiting the recent days, we've been seeing a number of insured marketing products that are people injured in us because that's what it would be. fighting to down leg. got it right. and just create a huge you monitor in need here or the back of it 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 receive in our support you to host because here from there you have to imagine that when the long term shuffling and bane once you have been to the us because you're going to be also referred to those rehabilitation printer where it would take years to just treat people that could have been detected from those wounds. we are very much committed to continue with the work be in the hospital, but that's not on me. but i can understand the reason for our safety. and this is not something that we are denying. however much of the room that we have had over the years he's already known. and we've been working in pregnancy controller, probably been controlled. i really am very much going to be that we can continue working. we're going to, he's very much the ones are trying to teach in dependence and, and it's very crucial, particularly at this moment. that's when his ition stand by. there was the russian

foreign ministry also described the current predicament, the natural result of the give us a native to withdraw drawing panels with other west the lead interventions over the last 2 decades. critic, se washington's lengthy operations in the country have been playing directly into the sullivan's hands eagle auto. he goes off report 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 crack the code in afghanistan 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 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: a stand. 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 us trained and trained and train the new african army, spend billions on supplying it with more noms. we spent over a trillion dollars. we trained and equipped in africa 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, 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 us 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 place of deserted weather, issued weapons to set up their own private checkpoints and extort money from travelers. various sources reported that telephone calls were a preferrable alternative, and that they were perceived as accessible, fast and less corrupt than the government established courts. so when the us says

something like this, that force 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 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 webb. 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 public understood this. and i'm not even sure that the bite in administration understood this either. 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 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 was all for the coverage of the unraveling situation in afghanistan were following the situation on the ground closely, we'll continue to bring you the latest updates as we get them. stay here soon with us on our team and ask the the my recent studies, 90 percent of all the my print thing for all the different programs never leaves. wall 3. right, so it just stays on walter joe saying, here's an infrastructure bell rose tunnels bridges and they the 2000 paid bill, they've 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 long piece is gonna be that very clearly in the

money philosophy chart, which is always going towards europe. they never goes anywhere on the wall street balance sheet and they use it to buy expensive property. and that's been the story now for more than 20 years. ah ah, ah ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross off. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle, russia china relations are strong and getting deeper. we are told this is dangerous for the washington lead world. is it? why are moscow in beijing moving closer together? did the miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it? is the china russia alliance made it america ah,

ah.
