12:03 pm
what is the official position of the alibi about this issue right now. this is a major headache for the taliban soldiers trying to police the city. a city i don't know, a city that's too complicated. and this vacuum, some people have just thought ok, this is the time. let's go and pick up some vehicles and weapons from for more facials at the taliban have been shedding their what up numbers, the number of cell phones asking residents to basically get in touch if they saw such incidents. and they've been rather swift and quick in terms of responding to those. i also was looking at a video of a female presenter one and she has been prevented from working. she says, so that's also creating a lot of reactions on social media. and you can imagine the new reality for the thought about 20 years ago. no one could speak and had access to social media today they can, and i want to start watching in the world is watching more serious threat to the

tele bonds. power grab is forming in the countries north. st reported around 10000 nascar army soldiers are rolling in pan ship province. that is the only region of afghanistan that remains contested. it was an outpost of taliban resistance in the 19 nineties and was never captured during the civil war. it also held out during the soviet invasion, panacea province is located within a valley of steep mountains that will make solid natural defense. spearheading the resistance said, now is the afghan, 1st vice president, umbrella sally. unlike us nato, we haven't lost spirit and see enormous opportunities ahead. useless caveats finished joining the resistance or select says that he's now afghan histones, legitimate acting president. after his former boss fled the country amid the taliban to advance on campbell. he has fought the taliban before and was also in charge of spying on the militants when leading the national security directed me

running resistance. together with another king figure occupied masoud, the son and namesake of a prominent afghan warlord, you oppose. the 1st taliban rule is what my suit was saying. back in june about defending afghanistan. they're going to fight for the rights of the people. they're going to fight for the rights of women, and they're going to fight for many other values, the church and you look at you from the past due to dick. if you're the 1st line of defense, we are defending europe. you're defending division and i have cancer fighting, not just for themselves, but for everyone. and videos are starting to emerge on line of the afghan resistance forces themselves. here you can see the troops flying the green and white flags of the northern alliance. this was formed after the taliban 1st came to power in 1996 before the great until the us led invasion on sale. international affairs commentator says that the current lines going to achieve much without foreign support in doing in the, in the short term not get very big. i think one big question will be whether any
12:06 pm
foreign countries don't recognize north and line any other resistance group. and to try and ostracize, and i'd like to try to get in the northern lines was in existence before the between 996 in 2001 was various countries impurity in russia, helped arms and so on. and taliban reserve recognized by 3 countries focused on i'm not sure. i remember it's installed here. it looks just at the moment is a ton of it's going to be recognized by other countries. parenting, perhaps russia including china, cured in iran. and pakistan. so very much depends on how this resistance if it's going to fall away or develop, whether it's recognized by the outside powers. and the fight promise is to be a bloody one. as the taliban has got his hands on the high tech arsenal, with billions gifted by the americans to the afghan army,
12:07 pm
us national security adviser face some embarrassing questions about weapon we left behind. those black hawks were given to the tall 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 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. taliban fighters have been parading around cobble showing off the new made in america, rifles and humvees. median jimmy door has some advice for washington to avoid such humiliations and shut it with. i should return the alarm he is going on again. you want a us intervention. a military intervention told me about which country you want us 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,
12:08 pm
how about in the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invades 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? plenty of women living wage in the united states give them health care and give them an education. ironically, that's what the government up gavin then did up until we invented the taliban if you took. so there's 600000, according to statistics, or 600000 homeless people in america. lot of those are women. lot of those are children. now, if you gave them each a $1000.00 stipend, a month, a $1000.00
12:09 pm
a month, to go get housing. that would cost $7200000000.00 a year. 7.2000000000. you know, we've been spending 2 trillion dollars or the last 20 years, 300000000 dollars a day to kill people and get it then. so the united states ever really cared about women, they could spend a $7200000000.00 to do or take care of the homeless people in the united states. give them a 1000 that they won't do it. so yet joe biden, navy pillows each up humour mitch mcconnell, all the leaders and both parties, they know that they're, that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers. and they don't care. ah, why this unverified that it says ask on women, unfortunately pleading with us gods cabella for to let men marika and other western

12:11 pm
stand shade the west trying to impose just a western example of democracy possibly was a roots that we should reconsider. we look at many options with the speaker, including the potential for staying longer ourselves. factoring complacency from our government. was our intelligence really? so whole. what would, what would i do differently? i wouldn't, i suppose, said he shattering now. shop. take the time on doing everything we can to get these people to what does everything that can mean that evacuation to go ahead we get this done in a expeditious fashion as we can y'all sacrifice deserves better than this. and so to the people they say on lives on their lives for that fellow when i'm can i hope it will support just 5000 in the 1st year. what the $15000.00 men to do. i
12:12 pm
know round and wait until they've been executed. k officials are working, run the hundreds of thousands of british people have flown trucks gonna have to serve the prior to flu, to avoid public service. this is off the mac marketing point, rafael, the filing system. the politicians decided to withdraw. the politicians must be responsible for the consequences. during the debate inside parliament protests has gone out, sized and done the government's response to events in afghanistan, mung, those who gathered with people with family trapped in the country. some carried signs saying afghans have been left to be butchered, protest as is demanding more people be brought sooner to the case. the case, former opposition leader was also in the crowd. i'm hoping that the government will both explain the chaos of the evacuation will agree on a much larger number of refugees, counties this come to this for them, dropped directly to rhetoric. present battelle has been with the past few months on
12:13 pm
a bubble will give us something thing they can learn the foreign policy. lesson. britain, after all, is gone through the training, the afghan. i, britain, after all, set up the training cool to the army and the result is not going to go really . we heard from 3 behalf easy, the daughter of the british national, who stuck in afghanistan. and she told us that british officials had done little to help bring back her elderly mother from the country. her mother's a 79 years old, fragile disabled woman was previous history of a stroke. and she is currently going through severe arthritis and which is waiting for a surgery. and so she cannot travel without a wheelchair access. and she has services from the airport on freshman issue was knocked out twice at the airport by crowded passengers trying to get into the slice and other civilians who was trying to play a role. so she wasn't able to afford the flights because of her medical condition
12:14 pm
when she attended in the office on couple on threat. surely she was constantly being dismiss. why did god, i tried literally bombarding their treasure accounts as social media current trying to get their attention to and bear in mind and pay attention to my mother's condition. when personally, every time i've contacted them, always get the same call continues on, the embassy was insisting and encouraging all citizens to try and seek commercial life, which are fresh and may be full, been suspended because of the us troops are trying to control the airport kind of stands, ousted president, shaft gone, he has resurfaced in the united arab emirates, the u. e. ministry of foreign. the 1st says that they welcomed him and his family into the country on humanitarian grounds of agonies also, and accused of taking funds illicitly out of afghanistan. $170000000.00. if the
12:15 pm
afghan embassy energy son is to be believed, then calling on interval to arrest, the former leader accept can government advisor direct for hardy says corruption undergone thrived brisbin ganley's presidency had transformed into a mafia system of klepto crat customs revenues were collected, but half of it was stolen by people in the government of president gunny to the american government. they had said they had 300000 soldiers, but he got a special inspector general for african historic construction issue to report that in fact, they had ghost soldiers. and they were also pocketing the american tax money and defrauded the american state as well. what's interesting
12:16 pm
for the outside is that kind of stuff becomes a stable country. taliban would have conservative regime, like saudi arabia, like iran, if the tale one can demonstrate that they are controlling international terrorism. and they are not exacting human rights violations. in the long run, it's possible that china will recognize them and possibly even russia at the end of the day, even the european countries and the united states, my drink ignite them, it was the time. and they would like to see guarantees that there is no violence against the people. jo biden's previous remarks on the canister of come back to haunt him. a decade ago when he was vice president, he reportedly insisted the us leave afghanistan, no matter the consequences for the afghans during the comparison with vietnam. while now he says that the mission with never about nation building,
12:17 pm
collins he made 20 years ago suggest otherwise exist on off 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 afghanistan 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 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 the 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 that churns out blood
12:18 pm
thirsty warlords, drug traffickers and terrorist. when the us failed to swiftly hand down, been locked 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 afghan people the means to achieve their own aspirations. peace, faith will be achieved by helping ab ganna stan, develop its own stable government. but to do that meant to break the spine of the traditionalist african society and implants 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
12:19 pm
me i the the real the wealthiest country in the history of the world. and yet we have the higher trial poverty rates, almost any country on earth. critics, even brandon, the ex president of august, and as for 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
12:20 pm
exactly the aim of the mission was. i just didn't succeed and weren't accomplished as we had planned, the realization. and the big one is terrifying for the millions of afghans who supported the more free society and who, with the support of what they strove for democracy cation and women's rights. and made important progress. moreover, the right volumes of books studying us nation building in galveston, ones literally called exactly like that word for word. but the bite and team refused to capitulate 10 just admit defeat. instead, they're trying to hide their intentions behind the abstract facade of the war on terra, 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
12:21 pm
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. protectorate, 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, us army combat veteran corey mill says that there are always 2 clear objectives of the afghan mission, eliminate the terrorist threat and 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,
12:22 pm
the terrorism that have been done and perfect that would cpr operation irregular warfare. a symmetric warfare and special operations 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 actuate this idea that we need to stay there in 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 end when it comes out. again, this was a lot. busy of plans to begin with, and i tell all my bitter and brothers and sisters who are out there, but it was the suit, not the boots who was responsible for this failure, the taliban and all of the tourists 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. jo biden's approval ratings have plummeted on use of the taliban take over, plunging 7 points to his lowest level yet. on friday,
12:23 pm
more than half of the american, still the president was doing a good job, but 3 days and enough come power grub later, not figure is just 46 percent. we asked people in the u. k. and us, what they think of the us withdraw from afghanistan, the whole politicians throughout the world should be smoothly hanging their head in shame. what's happening? absolutely disgraceful. with cd effects, no only was the everybody, not just a gun to your brains, america, everybody was and it has created a great deal of difficulty for people working there. and obviously for the native, a people of afghanistan, it's a 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 stabilized the country. there's no reason for us to be over there . my biggest are the women that are left behind. i know what it says,
12:24 pm
you know the taliban regime saying that they will allow women to have the freedom that they've enjoyed have 20 years. but i don't believe it. the movement, political leader and co founder when bill gunny barbara has now returned from exile . 11 affiliated media showed him being greeted by cheering crowds off the planing kandahar. adar who was arrested by pakistani security forces in 2010 and kept in custody for years than expected by some to become the next leader off galler stuff . another telephone commander who was seen on sunday storming the presidential palace in the capital to be a former detainees of the notorious con, panama bay prison camp. to meet you, power takes a closer look at his and other similar cases. if the situation and gas and 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
12:25 pm
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 re, honey maintained, that he was called 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 takeover of football. so either the us 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,
12:26 pm
or it was the time to spend and get mo, that actually radicalized a simple shopkeeper into a taliban. fanatic, don't matter if a detainee were innocent. indeed, because he lived and have 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 and fell 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, a stand regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american soldier back. if you tell them captain period,
12:27 pm
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,
12:28 pm
and now he's no less than the current leader of isis replacing albert, daddy turns out he was just using the us to get rid of the competition for the top spot amongst terrorist. 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. we do know that more than 90 percent of all the people rounded up and going to guantanamo and tortured and held him solitary and held under terrible conditions for years. you had absolutely no evidence on or the evidence was completely mistaken and distorted. and that torture is really real and it is
12:29 pm
created oceans and oceans of hate. and bog from base bar gram air force base. there was major prison there where that held thousands of prisoners for years. that creates great hatred among anyone who's ever been through a system like that or their family members. and it is why the government finally completely collapse and wraps up our coverage for this hour on what's happening in afghanistan. we have courses, thing across event, sir, to stick with auntie international more in half an hour. the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally,
12:30 pm
i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk the as a by the ministration is continuing to stand with their strategy. and i've, gannett and president biden is laser focused on accomplishing the core national security objectives in the united states. and when it comes to f can 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 that this is their obligation or because they were behind the destruction of ghana sand during the 20 years. so now it is their moral obligation. they also help reconstruct afghanistan and to help the people to start a new life a new.
