8:02 am
americans. and i have my documents with me right here for at least 10 years. i work with them. now i'm in danger. as you can see, the enemy is here, and that is clear to everyone. they must have vacuum me from here. as soon as possible. i might go to court, i come here 3 or 4 days in a row. there is nothing to eat and the people sleep because of hunger. i have worked for 6 or 7 years in the background. and now i fled my village. uncomfortable . i don't have a house and i want to flee away from the capital. at least 2 people are being killed and a dozen more injured during a demonstration in support of the african national flag in the city of july. about report suggests that the taliban opened fire on protest is similar, protest reportedly taking place in other provinces. meanwhile, the taliban stays this 1st news conference and storming, cobble the spokesperson for the group promised an amnesty for those afghans who had worked for the coalition forces. it was, in fact one of
8:03 am
a number of pledges might i want to give assurances to all competitors, those on the position side as interpreters involved in military actions or those who health and civilian sectors. we have granted them all amnesty. we don't want to take revenge on anyone and those youths who are talented and from the soil and we don't want them to leave never. they are a valuable asset. they must stay in the country, god willing. and according to sherry law, we will that women work and participate in activities. women are the main symbol of our society. we respect them. women will participate in different sectors of society. although, according to the sarah law, but also fresh videos emerged, said to be of women, protesting and cobble demanding the rights be respected, including the right to work education and political participation. promising to protect women's rights within the limits of his law. the taliban says that it will allow them to get an education into work and to supposedly prove that new ways,
8:04 am
there was an unprecedented event. the taliban official sat down with a female presenter for an interview with tolo news. that's the local tv station. cool part of a pay on campaign by the taliban to present a more moderate side to the world. i discussed the new approach with the head of the country's largest media company. couple picked up the tyler gonna 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 in emerett at the top on 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,
8:05 am
enough canister? the moment you going to optimistic may be feared the worst when the telephone came into power. but how are you feeling in the moment? i'm feeling neither. i think it's too early and we can't be used to assume that they have changed for good freedom of speech. is not just some reporting on facts. i mean they, they believed that gods on their side. and then the holy koran is the constitution . and then they kind of 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 to, to, to 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 sent an awful lot of people fleeing heading for the airport. it's been tragic at times, watching the people who tend to get out. have you had any real stops saying look, you know, we just not comfortable with this we, we want to go?
8:06 am
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 in the coming weeks will determine what people do in the years. i had this, this, this, this middle class, this youth was, you know, 60 percent off kind 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. left kind of suns, plight comes under the microscope and the latest episode of all going on the ground show where we hear the thoughts of political commentator jimmy door coming away in full later today. for now, he's a preview. you want a u. s. intervention a military intervention, tell me about which country you want the u. s. intervening. and i think it's about, i mean, because a lot of people are saying we need to stay in afghanistan to help the women. i say,
8:07 am
how about if the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invade los angeles and brings health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homes, people in los angeles. how about we invade the inner cities of america? and we bring health care to those people. we bring shelter to those people. we bring medicine to those people. we bring counseling to those people. how about we invade america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america going to care about the women? and, you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. so if you want to help people, why don't you give women and children want to give women a living wage in the united states? give them health care and give them an education? ironically, that's what the government up gavin ended up until we invented the taliban. ah, amid the dramatic events of the past few days,
8:08 am
it's only recently come to live. the one of the taliban commanders he stole the presidential palace in the capital was actually a former resident of the notorious guantanamo bay prison. camp cease to meet you. pat takes a closer look if the situation and i guess that wasn't already a disaster showcasing the shortcomings of us 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. guess 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 re honey maintain that he was quote, a simple shopkeeper who tried to help americans. so some 5 years later or 8.
8:09 am
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 of cool. 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 spent in getting all that actually radicalized the simple shopkeeper into a taliban fanatic. and just a reminder, didn't know the place, the us sounds pretty much anyone the capture near a battlefield and without trial, 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. they apparently got some good intel out
8:10 am
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 talib leaders that obama swapped for an american desert, or these leaders were promised to never see a battlefield again. and that they would be held in guitar far from, again, a stand regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american soldier back if you 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. withdrawal from janice then earlier this year. we'll see then there are the isis super terrorists, for example, leap in from us all, but daddy, the former leader of isis, he was captured in 2004, held in detention at
8:11 am
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 a song, but unique talents, inability. 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. know, 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
8:12 am
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. protest is accounted in london condemning the u. k. government response to events in galveston, cooling for those still stuck in the country to be brought to the u. k as quickly as possible. ok, partners reports, british face afghans. i'm supposed to be including n p's and the stop the war coalition gathered outside parliament ahead of the debate on us. got his son, very appealing to the government to bring those who serve the british and american forces in afghanistan to the u. k. to protect them from the taliban on tuesday night, the government said the u. k. will take up to 20000 refugees over the coming years . and number, which home secretary pretty battelle not says could more than double what opposition figures want to see the plan behind the promises? i'm hoping that the government will both explain the chaos of the evacuation will
8:13 am
agree on a much larger number of refugees. counties this come to the support for them dropped the anti record to rhetoric pretty for tell has been out with the past few months. bubble give us coming thing thinking to learn the foreign policy lesson. britain, after all, as returns to the training. the african i've written after all, set up a timing cool to the army and the result has not been a good one. meanwhile, the taliban has gone on a p, our offensive to win hearts and minds, and their political leaders have also promised women will have rights according tissue. re a law, an amnesty for those who work for foreign powers and crushed fears about housing extremists. but relative to those still enough, down to stone are skeptical and fearful. i came here by 1718 years ago because of these people are now in back home. and i'll tell you, want to call it be on our back office one years on the circling of people,
8:14 am
everyone. and you got back in the same spot us when years ago, you're watching tv killing people. schools are close again. the woman's congo outside again, which was 20 years ago. so this is just a waste of money in which the government didn't, if you will. yes. you watch some retails people are just talking from a to playing a watch. fear of fallible. there's no fear, nobody will run to the runway and the aeroplane and just fly with them over. and he dropped dead they, they, they, they will happy to die like this, not by italians in cobble, the streets are reportedly com militants, mounting checkpoints in military flights, evacuating diplomats and civilians have restarted at the airport. us president joe biden has defended the decision to pull out of afghanistan. and these protest this hope the diplomacy will work long term in a country where military intervention happens and thousands are being killed or
8:15 am
injured. we need to be thinking very, very seriously about the lessons from the past and what they mean to the foreign policy, the future. and i think it's a day that it's a day of reckoning really. and it's a day in which the politicians need to action for the 1st time since 2001 think hard and think about the damage that they've done in the series, the far more taken place. and they really need to learn the lessons. we have to end this talk to the world. we have to end this aggressive foreign policy for the life of recent events, many of questioning whether the allied forces turned back on the country by withdrawing that troops. we quizzed people in london and new york for their thoughts. the whole politicians throughout the world should be smoothly hanging their head in shame. what's happening when it's absolutely disgraceful? with cd effects? no, only was the everybody, not just a gun as you're being america. everybody was and it has created
8:16 am
a great deal of difficulty for people working there. and obviously for the native, a people of afghanistan, shame, what's happening over there, but have dentist and they've been fighting for a 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 are the women that are left behind. i know what it says. you know the taliban regime saying that they will allow women to have the freedom that they've enjoyed 20 years. but i don't believe it. we got the latest on the humanitarian situation from the u. n. sexy general's deputy special representative for afghan stan ramirez, alack, bought us united nations oldest maintains the presidents. we are present in the country. we continue to operate through all these agencies.
8:17 am
and those are more than 150 for her strong humiliating organizations. currently, gradually, mental situations which we have seen throughout the countries in some places, schools are reopening and they're providing us or in those settings. and it also helps you to do. we're able to reach for the health facilities yesterday with the rates of a couple of our funding, unfortunately, has not been commenced needs since the beginning of the year. we've been asking for $1300000000.00 around 30 percent of that. we obviously will continue back. addition stands on this solid coding here. women's rights are essential, gender qualities, essential, and respect to the human rights and essential elements for us to be able to
8:18 am
function and to be able to deliver require 8 the treatment rules, not the only thing us administration is coming on to fossil biden's, national security adviser also admitted a significant amount of american weaponry is now in the taliban towns, those black hawks were not given to the taliban. 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 handed over to us at the airport recent comments by us officials. so washington was shocked by the speed it was. the television stays a total routes of 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 i, there is chaotic situation in cobble where we don't even have the establishment of
8:19 am
the 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 you listen to us officials discussing at ghana. stan, 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 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,
8:20 am
truly deeply. my heart goes out to ask in women and girls in the country today under the telephone. so admitted confusion as the global community looks on the situation and app ganeth. 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, prison biden. this took a defined tone about the decision to pull out troops from afghanistan, but his claims that the mission was never about nation building. so it's contrast with promises may 20 years ago, exist on of explains. it didn't take long for the taliban to fill in the power vacuum left after the now infamous us pull out, defending the withdrawal. president biden pin. the blame on the african government to political leaders of afghanistan were unable to come together for the good of
8:21 am
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 remainder that can stand, bearing the brunt of the fighting for them. america's mission and i've got to stand 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 of the ministration nation building is still a dirty phrase. but the alternative to nation building is chaos. a chaos that churns out blood thirsty war, large drug traffickers and terrorist. when the u. s. failed to swiftly hand down, been logged in 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,
8:22 am
flashing back at american efforts in the country. we know that true police will only be achieved when we give the afghan people the means to achieve their own aspirations. pace fees will be achieved by helping afghanistan develop its own stable government. but to do that meant to break the spine of the traditionalist african 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 the i the,
8:23 am
the real, the wealthiest country in the history of the world. and yet we have the higher trial poverty re could almost any country on earth. critics, even brandon, the ex president of august, and as for ghani, a us 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. i just didn't succeed and weren't accomplished as we had planned, 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 on straw
8:24 am
for democracy, dictation and women's rights, and made important progress. moreover, the right volumes of books studying us nation building and have garrison ones 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 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
8:25 am
left at the taliban mercy. while the ruling leads in washington, too busy writing revisionist history. you saw me come by, the veteran corey mill says the always to clear objectives of the afghan mission to eliminate the terrorist threat and then 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 with terrorism that have been done and perfected with cpr operation irregular worker, a symmetric warfare, and spent operation forces with dick, 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 perpetuate this idea that we need to stay there and arm and build and
8:26 am
defend and help create a democracy. you know, because we're american are arrogant. see that every other country needs democracy like us just never ends when it comes up in this was a lot. busy of plans 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 wait us out again wraps up our coverage for this hour on their raveling situation in afghanistan will continue to follow events closely though. stay with anti football. the ah ah, i
