me all the headlines this out here on odd new videos emerge from i got to start capital showing the desperation of people fleeing the return of the taliban. the group briefs the media offers power, grab promise thing. it's seeking. no revenge. i've got women take this increase to defend their rights, which the taliban is pledging to keep, protect it. i'll be within the limits of islam. we discussed the situation with the head of the country's largest media company trying to win hard to mind known ways to grow before we can tell you that better receptive to women on television or to equal opportunity for the european union admits its money and efforts to train the afghan army were all in vain on the program. we get the view from the streets of the u. k. and us city effects on which was for everybody, not just

a gun to someplace. shame. what's happening over there? it's fine. and it revealed a taliban commander who gave a big through speech from the cobbled presidential palace and used to be a long term resident pantano bay. ah, just off the 9 o'clock on wednesday morning here in moscow. this is our international. we got your latest worldwide news headlines. and 1st this morning in the program, more scenes of chaos enough dentist on following the taliban take over gunshots. we're fine to cobble international airport as people continue trying to flee the new regime. some tried to scale perimeter walls to reach evacuation flights or unconfirmed reports. a taliban fighters shot one man who was climbing

a wall. we understand 7 people have been killed at the airport in just the last few days. some of those who reached the airport was so desperate to get out there resorted to clinging to the airplanes. this video was filled by one of those taking such a risk. it's unclear what his faith was, although because the video made it online, it's assumed he might still be alive. or we understand a number of bodies were filmed, falling from aircraft and investigation is now underway. meanwhile, the taliban stage is 1st news conference since it stormed. cobble a spokesperson for the group promised. an amnesty for those are gone to work for the coalition forces. it was in fact, one of a number of pleasures made by the new i want to give assurances to all competitors . those don't the position side as interpreters involved in military actions or those who helped civilian sectors. we have granted them all amnesty. we don't want to take revenge on any one and those youths who are talented and from the soil. we

don't want them to leave never, they are a valuable asset. they must stay in the country. it's not god willing. and according to sherry law, we will that women the work and participate in activities. women are the main symbol of our society. we respect them. women who participate in different sectors of society, although, according to this era law. meanwhile, fresh videos set to be of women in protesting and cobble and demanding that rights be respected, including work, education and politics. and promising to protect women's rights within the limits of islam. the taliban says it will allow them to get education and to work. and to supposedly prove that new ways, there was a rather unprecedented event. one taliban official sat down with a female presenter for an interview with polo news, local tv channel. it's all part of a p r campaign by the group to present a more moderate side to the world. earlier, my colleague niel harvey discussed the new approach with the head of the country's largest media company the tile 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 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 equal opportunity for afghan ascent. 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. a 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 constitution. and then they can never be challenged in time. they will need to be need to get challenged 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 tend 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 was, 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. the new look taliban has also failed to convince the e. u. s. foreign policy chief joseph barrell, who calls a dialogue with the group event to prevent a humanitarian crisis, but also making clear that doesn't mean international recognition. the taliban, of course, is still listed as a terrorist organization by much of the world of oral admitted all the time and effort invested in the country. over the last 2 decades had apparently been in vain . anyone had been surprised. they did fall in a few days or not really, we had to spend a lot of money and a lot of effort drain. and so found enough, some dish is that even the balance has been show the price. right. really,

you ladies are growing increasingly wired about the situation. they're not gonna st on faring the chaos could wind its way to europe in a deluge of refugees. devante, c, p. we must anticipate to 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 appeal 1st to 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. now, despite locals, concern about the human crisis and the potential impact that this could have on europe, she did manage to find time to attend to full premier in berlin. and this is despite the criticism that so far, gemini has only evacuated 7 of its nationals from cabal. at the same time,

a number of leaders are very pessimistic. you have, for example, the check president, my list zeeman, who had said that nature failed in afghanistan. 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 the austria, it has cold on neighboring countries to have got done to fit 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 its 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 our, than partner hunters. and of the africans who have helped us. still to book admitted that europe was surprised at the speed of the political and military collapse of the cobble 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. international affairs john leicester richard met house believes the use priority has never actually been of human rights . we've known for decades now that the war and again san is locked. 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 pumped

full of weapons to make money for the arms industry. and 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, 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 objective. i think the most important thing to see how russia, china and iran deal with garrison 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. meanwhile,

the german army has been lifting afghan, evacuated to safety. some were taken to neighboring or becca, stand before being transported on woods of it. later on, a 3 special lift times of flights had been laid on so far. first on monday was slammed for only taking 7 people. the german foreign ministry defended the flight saying the catholic situation of the apartment. it wasn't possible to get anyone else safely on board. also, british, i'm going to vacuum, arrive on a military plane to the u. k. the prime minister bars johnson has announced a new resettlement scheme for afghan citizens. the 1st year of which we'll see the u. k. taken around 5000 people, mainly women and children. we quit to people in london and new york about what the world witnessed. and i've gone on over the past few days. the whole politicians throughout the world should be smoothly hanging their head in shame. what's happening? it's absolutely disgraceful. with city effects, no only was the, everybody, not just

a gun to some european america. everybody was and it has created a great deal of difficulty for people working there. and obviously for the native a people of afghan shame, what's happening over there, but have dentist and they've been fighting for 102 years. the fact that we've been over there for 20 years, we really haven't stabilize the country. there's no reason for us to be over there . my biggest are the women that are left behind. i know what is that you know the taliban regime thing that they will allow women to have the freedom that they've enjoyed 20 years. but i don't believe it. let me concerns about what impact the return of the taliban will have on people's lives. the red cross says it'll keep it stop and continue providing assistance to all sides. or recently, the 8 organization reported that since the start of june is treated 40000 people injured and fighting on the figure for over the loan. so far as about 8000,

the charities director for asia and the pacific says more than half of all casualties have been women and children on the recent fighting in the country. and in the recent days we've been seeing a number of ensured must have been products that are people injured in us because that's what it would be fighting down like national guard. right. and created huge you monitor in need here, or do you call 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 receive in our were supported because 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. and he's already known, and we've been working in pregnancy controlled, probably been called for iris. so i'm, i'm very much going to be that we can continue working with that. he's very much the ones are trying to teach independence and, and it's very crucial, particularly at this moment. that's when is ition stand by the was i mean the dramatic events of the past few days. it's only recently come to light that one of the taliban commanders who stormed the presidential palace and the capital was actually released when the notorious guantanamo bay prison camp ceased. dimitri pal takes a closer look if the situation and i guess that wasn't already a disaster showcasing the shortcomings of u. s. foreign policy and appetite for regime change. well, it turns out one of the taliban leaders who gave a celebratory speech from couples. presidential palace was none other than a former guantanamo detainees who was released as a quote medium risk. yes. seriously, of all the people,

the u. s. torture in guantanamo this was one of the guys deems thought, really dangerous, and let go meet goal am roo honey. one of the 1st detainees at guantanamo in 2002, he was captured by us forces on suspicion of being a taliban security officer during his time and get more money, maintained that he was, quote, a simple shopkeeper who tried to help americans. so some 5 years later or 8, according to ronnie, he was released on the promise that he just wanted to help is sick father won an appliance store and couple fast forward to 2021 and he's a taliban commander, leading the take over a couple. so either the u. s. intelligence was, well not really intelligent and let a taliban radical pull one over them and lie his way out of the hands of the ca, or it was the time to spend and get mo, that actually radicalized the simple shopkeeper into a taliban fanatic. don't matter if a detainee were innocent. indeed,

because he lived and they've got to stop and was captured on or near the battle area, he must know something of importance. well, apparently all the torture and human rights violations that get mall, and other us detention centers turned out to be all for nothing. sure, they apparently got some good intel out of some of the detainees. but on the other hand, the ones that they let go went on to became terrorist leaders. yeah, ronnie isn't the only detain eastern terrorist boss. there's a whole list there is the 5 taliban leaders that obama swapped for an american desert, or these leaders were promised to never see a battlefield again. and that would be held in guitar far from, again to san, regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american soldier back if he felt captain period full stop yet somehow they're now apparently the masterminds behind the current take over a couple, one of them is even

a part of the official delegation of the taliban. he even took part in negotiating the u. s. withdraw from janice then earlier this year. we'll see. then there are the isis super terrorists, for example, leap in from us all buck daddy, the former leader of isis. he was captured in 2004, held in detention at a u. s. facility in iraq for 10 months. let go and went on to have a successful career and terrorism becoming the head honcho of the big bad, isis. he was a street thug. when we picked him up in 2004, it's hard to imagine we could about a crystal ball, then that would tell us he'd become head of isis. yeah. if only you could have seen that coming anyway. and then there's this guy who was a valuable inform and during his time, at the hands of us intelligence, our that was the song. but if you meet talents and ability and now he's no less than the current leader of isis, replacing all. but daddy turns out he was just using the us to get rid of the

competition for the top spot amongst terrorists, another big wolf's, this is kind of beginning to seem like a trend. now, basically, not only did the us fail to recognize dangerous radicals when they were right there their hands, they apparently even managed to embolden and help radicalized people who probably wouldn't have posed any threat if it weren't for having an encounter with some american intelligence officers. in the end, america seems to be fighting problems itself created and so many that doesn't even come as a shock. well, it's all about, it's not only got his hands on former us prisoners, but his also got its weaponry items. national security adviser admitted american alms had been captured by the militants. although others suggest they were either left or gifted. those black hawks were not given to the top one. 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. but 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. well written comments by us officials showed washington was shocked by the speed in which was held up on stage the total route with the country. and it remains unclear what to do next. even well drawn plans don't survive 1st contact with reality. this is happen more rapidly than we anticipated here. 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 stand slash you 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 they're being asked. we are seeing us

officials try out an old tried and true method, slap 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 it is not going to sacrifice any more american lives on the altar of democracy. in afghanistan, however, national security adviser 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 telephone and so amid confusion as the global community looks on the situation in afghanistan as 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, president abiding has struck her other defiant tone about his decision to pull the old troops out of africa, honest on. but it's claims that the mission was never about nation building. do stand in stark contrast to the promise has made 20 years ago. and thought is done off now reports. it didn't take long for the taliban to fill in the power vacuum left after the now infamous us pull out defending that with the rule, president biden pin. the blame on the african government. political leaders of afghans were unable to come together for the good of their people unable to negotiate for the future of their country. when the chips were down, they would never have done so while us troops remained canister and bearing the brunt of the fighting for them. america's mission and of gaston was never supposed to have been nation building, says president bite and in 2021. the alternative to nation building is k. s.

senator biden retorts. in some parts administration. nation building is still a dirty phrase, but the alternative to nation building is chaos. a chaos the churns, how blood thirsty warlords, drug traffickers in terrorist. when the u. s. failed to swiftly hand down ben loudon in 2001. the mission shifted towards remodeling the country into an ideal society that does not breed terrorists. george bush used the exact words nation building when looking back, flashing back at american efforts in the country. we know that true peace will only be achieved when we give the african people the means to achieve their own aspirations. piece phase will be achieved by helping afghanistan develop its own stable government. but to do that meant to break the

spine of the traditionalist as good society and implant a new one from reconstruction and aid efforts to overseeing the formation of the new african state army. us trained, of course, and that did not come cheap. the me i the the wealthiest country in the history of the world and yet we have the higher trial

poverty rate. almost any country on earth. critics, even brandon, the ex president of gannon and astra ghani, a u. s. protege, he is a familiar figure to the american establishment, while washington's european allies also didn't have any illusions about what exactly the aim of the mission was. things didn't succeed and weren't accomplished as we had planned. that's the realization and the bitter one is terrifying for the millions of afghans who supported the more free society and who with the support of western states. strong for democracy indication and women's rights, and made important progress. moreover, the right volumes of books studying us nation building in gunnison one's literally called exactly like that word for word. but the bite and team refused to capitulate

and just admit defeat. instead, they're trying to hide their intentions behind the abstract facade of the war on terror and branding it as an actual success. we succeeded in achieving those fundamental objectives and the idea that we would sign up for remaining there in the midst of the civil war for another $510.00 or 20 years, was simply not in the national interest, killing bin laden 10 years ago is arguably the only achievement the u. s. has to show for its mission and i've got to stand other benefits which of the country well did enjoy under the u. s. protector. it like an improvement in women's rights. a lower infant mortality rate and more children going to school. all of that is now left at the taliban mercy. while the ruling leads in washington, too busy writing revisionist history. we spoke with a us army combat veteran corey males who says they were always to clear objectives of the entire afghan mission,

one eliminate the terror threat to rebuild the nation. what went wrong, the minute that americans thought that we were in the business of nation building, what we went over there to do in the very beginning. and i was part of that was to eliminate the terrorists who are responsible for the $911.00 attack and also stop at being a safe haven to terrorism that have been done and perfected with cpr operation irregular warfare. a symmetric warfare and special operation forces with the, with the support of the intelligence communities basically going out putting together h b, t packets. we then got into this ship of nation building and they wanted to continue to catch you wait this, you know, idea that we need to stay there and arm and build and defend and help to create a democracy. you know, because we're american are arrogant. see that every other country needs to market like us just never ends when it comes up in this was a floor. busy busy plan to begin with, and i tell all my better brothers and sisters who were out there, but it was the suit, not the boots who was responsible for this failure. the taliban and all of the

chairs networks. and then we had to watch as americans, but they had the time, they never had to leave and they knew they could weigh this out. i, that's our wrap on this. our coverage of the situation in afghanistan will continue to follow closely on air and on line for the meantime. of course, this is archie international the oh i, i know we have easy. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco wars ah,

is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? tyson lation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to this end. ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, ah, ah, as abiding ministration is continuing to

a stand with their strategy. and gannett and president biden is laser focused on accomplishing the core national security objectives in the united states. and when it comes to f ganeth stand, that was getting been lobby and degrading al qaeda. we accomplish that and he believes it was time for our troops to come. the taliban however, is saying this. i don't think this is their obligation or because they were behind the destruction of ghana stand during the 20 years. so now it is their moral obligation and also help construct afghans to stand on july and to help the people to start a new life. a new chapter in a moral obligation makes one wonder if the united states actually calling the shots, or maybe they're just following orders. this is the pentagon cannot say whether or not has a plan to keep us weapons out of taliban hands. going to give you the in depth look at those who made the fortune off the war and i can't stand. and if you are angry at the thought of the taliban now driving american tanks and barring us weapons

wait until you hear who actually paid for them to upset. because if you need to go to the hospital, it might be a very long time before you receive any attention, as a nationwide staff shortages are causing more than just a headache. this as a new blood test, i tell you if you suffer from something called long and finally they say a crime doesn't pay, but mayor de blasio thinks you can pay criminals to not commit any more crimes. i actually to get callbacks, dorsen will work. we will give you the details. i'm no use and you're watching news . huge right here on our to america. that get started. ah, in the game of war there, winners and there are losers with united states pulling out of afghanistan, many view the united states as the loser, and see the war and get a stand as a absolute total failure. however, there were actually some winners.
