a prominent african warlord, who opposed the fuss taliban rule. his want to suit was saying back in june about defending his homeland. 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. busy and you look in the achievement the past 2 tickets. you're the 1st line of defense. we are defending europe. you're defending division . and africans are fighting not just for themselves, but for everyone. and videos have already started emerging on line of resistance forces. here for example, you can see the troops flying to green and white flags of the northern alliance of this were formed off the top and fast came to power in 96 and at for the group until the us led invasion, we discussed the emerging resistance. the number of experts and opinion is divided over whether it poses any real threat to the taliban. well, it remains machine. how strong this is going to be, but teachers a moment,
6:06 pm
it sort of symbolic way because a ton of under one control of the country, pretty much all of it. and this is all small pockets. resistance could be remaining there and they couldn't develop, decides to doomed in the, in the short term not get very big. but i think one big question will be whether any foreign countries don't recognize north and line any other resistance group. and to try and ostracize and isolate the time. given that one to the punch a district has a history of standing up against any kind of italian rule legged with the soviets. later to the 7 law, i'm the one that is a good chance that all those were pushing the on the bus will rally around the literacy of i met some assaults some at the moment. i'm given that to the vice president stared back and he's making the claim. he's going to be very, i'll on the mental in terms of going this thing. that particular opposition,
6:07 pm
which was in there pretty slowly coming together. and the fight promises to be a blog. do you want us to talk to bon has got it sounds on the high tech offs and billions gifted by the americans to the african army. the us national security adviser faced some embarrassing questions about all the weaponry 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, 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. taliban fighters have been parade thing around kabul, showing off the new made in america, rifles and humvees, and ton of on social media accounts have been posting video film and august 15th and reaching the bomb originally supplied by western powers. we found out of the
6:08 pm
online news sites this can't be happening. he says, he sees the seized weapons, wouldn't start to trans against foreign enemies because of the nature of the tele, bon african army wasn't being armed, fight against a, a high tech opponent. so i'm not sure that it gives the tell, bought a lot of material to oppose a force that's getting arm saved from the wes, they've got some pretty fancy stuff and they may have a lot of like hardware they don't have any of the really high tech stuff they don't have any aircraft, missiles and things like that because the, the ask in military wasn't supplied with those. so i'm not sure it gives a great advantage. they wouldn't have things for attacking another power coming in . because the they were being armed against the taliban. remember we it in and she
6:09 pm
has some advice for washington. know how to avoid such humiliations. he shuddered with action were tunzia, things going underground? do 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, how about united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invade los angeles and bring health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homeless people in, 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
6:10 pm
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. 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, i'm on the $1000.00 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 that 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 yes, joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell, all the leaders and both parties. they know that they're,
6:11 pm
that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers. and they don't care. ah, for, i've got fun itself. it's international airport in the capital for more chaotic scenes on wednesday. i says on verified video shows asked on women up the hub painting with us gods to let the men america, and all the western countries prioritize and getting the nationals out. meanwhile, with crowds vaskins chewing outside the perimeter, it's now being confirmed. us troops have fire warning shots and quote, a crowd control measure barrier. grounding apple though, is being patrolled by taliban fighters who also open fire to this pass the crowds that reportedly not shooting out people long queues of also formed outside different embassies and cobble made off of people hoping to escape. france has
6:12 pm
moved its embassy to the capitals up to speed up processing and show greater safety for those trying to flee the full out reaches beyond afghanistan borders, several european nations are refusing to take in refugees from the country ripping wide open old divisions over mass migration with many faring, a repeat of the 2015 crisis, one more than a 1000000 people came to europe. unties point to slip picks up the story. while an increasing number of european nations are refusing to accept refugees from afghanistan, what they most afraid of is a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis and countries. i'm not afraid to admit that you have, for example, austria saying that it's against immigration. the interior minister said that the aim of europe should be to keep the bulk of the african population in the region. at the same time we heard from hungary saying it's refusing to take in more refugees. it says it won't make its citizens pay for the quote floor the decisions
6:13 pm
of the united states wanting from the french president in manuel crohn has come under fire for using the term irregular migration coming from a gunny son. and this has left a lot of people angry micron disorder and france. he mainly wants people to stay there. he doesn't give a damn about anything. it is important for him that no one comes to us. what about the right to asylum? what about these children? these women, these men, her flaying the terror of the taliban, france must not stand aside. concret actions are needed. now, no venial wastefulness has agreed to taking 5. not 50, not 500, not 5000, but 5 refugees. how many times in the last 3 days have we heard your pin leaders talk about human rights? they seem to be saying all the things when it comes to love and compassion and
6:14 pm
justice. and yet the reality speaks a very different story. these huge qual at the moment between brussels and member states and that quarrel is over quoted. it's over protective measures and the like . at the same time, we've heard these european leaders practically weeping when it comes to the issue of women's rights. and yet it just remains words. it's almost like a fan cpr. the overall sentiment really is one that europe does not want migrants and they're not going to be offering any kind of helping hand. and just in case you need further proof of it, germany has come under fire for using its military ship to bring some $65000.00 cans of beer to germany instead of bringing hundreds of guns and the families who have hoped the german authorities in afghanistan. these people were not going to be uses and they have not been evacuated in time. the german president has said that
6:15 pm
the gun turmoil shamed the waste, the images of desperation at campbell airport, our shameful for the political west. we are experiencing a human tragedy for which we share responsibility. pearlin must do everything it can to bring our people and all afghans who stood for years by their side to safety . jim is increasingly worried about an influx of refugees. almost 2 thirds of the population has admitted that they are concerned about a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis. now this comes as important. elections are to be held next month, a general election in germany, and presidential elections that will be held in april next year in from the issue of migration is likely to be a hot potato. come those elections, which is why you have politicians floating over the us gun migration potential
6:16 pm
crisis. the u. k. polymer has been recalled from its summer recess to debate the situation of chemist on increasing re punctuating people and taking in refugees. britain has pledged to resettle 20000 downs, but i knew my 1000 in the 1st year, the withdraw uninsured. chaos has left many m. p. 's incensed the reputation of the west to support democracy across the world has suffered recent defence not going to 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, cetera, failed shattering now shop. take the time of doing
6:17 pm
everything the con, 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 got people they say on lives on their lives for that hello. when i'm for the whole it will support just $5000.00 in the 1st year. what the 15000 men to do? i know round and wait until they've been executed. k officials are working, run the hundreds of thousands of british people of flowed talk going to serve the private to flew to avoid public service. this is off the mac, mark, attorney point rafael, the filing system. the politicians decided to withdraw. the politicians must be responsible for the consequences. while upon amount was debating inside, protest has gathered, conducting the government's response to the current offense among those people who found me trapped in afghanistan on some carrying signs,
6:18 pm
saying f counts have been left to be butchered. the protesters are demanding more people be brought through, not new k wilson, the crowd was the british opposition leader. i'm hoping that the government will both explain the chaos of the evacuation would agree on a much larger number of refugee counties. this come to the support for them, dropped directly to the rhetoric, presence battelle has been the past few months on a bubble. give us something thing. taking a learn the foreign policy lesson, britain, after all the chances of training the afghan. i've written after all, set up a timing pool to the army and the result has not been a good idea. we had from 3 but have easy, the daughter of a british national stock in our dentist on she told us, officials have done little to help bring back her elderly mother. my mother is assumed to 9 years old, fragile disabled women with previous stroke history of
6:19 pm
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 and freshman issue is not say the twice at the airport by crowd passengers trying to get into these flights and other civilians who was trying to flee couple so pressure and she wasn't able to avoid the flights because of her medical conditions when she attended in the office was in the couple on stress. surely she was constantly being dismiss. why did god, i tried literally bombarding their twitter account with social media current trying to get their attention to and bear in mind and pay attention to my mother's condition. when freshly, every time i contacted them, i was given the same call continues on. the embassy was interesting and encouraging
6:20 pm
all citizens to trying a commercial life, which on question me before been suspended because of the us troops trying to control the airport stateside. president joe biden says he knew that would be chaos in afghanistan. we decided to pull out the troops anyway, an interview with a b, c, news bites and admits he knew the withdrawal could cause father, tom wall, ready, torn apart by decades for i don't think it could have been handled in a way that there we were going to go back, in hindsight, look, but the idea that somehow there is a way to have gotten out without chaos and suing. i don't know how that happens. i don't know how that happened. the decision seems to have caused by didn't daily back home with the u. s president's approval rating sharply hitting an old time low is all correspond caleb open with all the details. the chaotic scenes in cobble have certainly not been good for the white house. the approval rating of joe biden
6:21 pm
has now dropped to less than half only 46 percent of americans say they liked the jobs as the new president is doing. now. the events in afghanistan has certainly been a factor because prior to them he lives it 53 percent. so a 7 percent drop seems to have resulted. some polls are now showing that joe biden is handling of afghanistan is less popular than george w bush's handling of afghanistan. we now have a situation where a senator bob menendez, representing the u. s. foreign relations committee of the senate. he's coming forward with this statement. the events of recent days have been the combination of a series of mistakes made by republican and democratic administrations over the past 20 years, including the trumpet, ministrations floored negotiations with the taliban, and the biden administration's flawed execution of the u. s. withdraw. the committee will seek a full accounting for these shortcomings. now,
6:22 pm
republicans are being far less forgiving. they say that jo biden's decision to rapidly pull out of afghanistan is harming the united states, discrediting the country, hurting relations with allies. there's been a fire storm of anger from the republican side of the aisle this biden administration. so they plan for every scenario. they told us to day prior that coble cobble was not imminent. he told us less than a month before that this would never happen yesterday. president biden would accept responsibility and explain how he would fix the catastrophe in galveston. instead, he blamed his 3 pre discusses and the absence of ford beside our troops for 20 years. thing the pointing won't solve this crisis boaters there should be top to bottom accountability at the pentagon and within the administration for this disaster that this stunning failure has been met with silence from biden cause into serious question. his ability to carry out his duties as commander in chief, the president's failure to acknowledge his disastrous withdrawl provides no comfort
6:23 pm
to americans or afghan partners whose lives hang in the balance. now to add insult to injury, there are millions, if not billions of dollars of weapons were talking gun ammunition tank helicopters that have simply been abandoned. these were weapons that were given to the u. s. trained afghan forces and they seem to have been left behind. and from what jake sullivan was, the national security advisor to joe biden says it's pretty unlikely that the taliban is simply going to hand them over at the airport. now. nancy pelosi stepped up and defended the president on this point. i commend the president for the action that he took. this is what happens when you withdraw you some stuff. some equipment is left there. now joe biden stands by his decision. he says that there would not ever been a good time for the usa to pull out of afghanistan. this would have resulted at any point in which this happened. he says he did the right thing. polls are showing
6:24 pm
americans are not pleased. there is also some outrage in the international community, not a good day for the white house. the ton of bonds, political need, and co founder lab to connie brought has now returned from exile. taliban affiliated media showed him being greeted by cheering crowds off the plane and come to hall. florida who was arrested by paxton security forces in 2010. and captain custody thing is, is now expected by some to become the next leader of our honest on one another taliban commander who was seen on sunday following the presidential palace and the capital turned out to be assumed. the detainees in its course want to move a camp on teams to meet palm, takes a closer look at his and all the similar cases if the situation and garrison 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
6:25 pm
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 gold 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 my rou, honey. maintain 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 cool. so either the u. s. intelligence was, well not really intelligent, and lana taliban radical full 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
6:26 pm
into a taliban fanatic. don't tell you for the to me were innocent. indeed, because he lived and they've got to stop and it 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 they would be held in could tar 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 he sells capital period full stop yet somehow they're now
6:27 pm
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 b. u. s. withdraw from again, it's 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 of unique talent and ability. and now he's no less than the
6:28 pm
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 and other 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 wouldn't have posed any threat if it weren't for having an encounter with some american intelligence officers. in the americas 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 taken to guantanamo and tortured and held them solitary and held under terrible conditions for years. us had absolutely no evidence on or the since was completely mistaken and distorted. and that torture is really real and it is created oceans
6:29 pm
and oceans of hate. and bog from base bog from 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. so rap on the sounds, coverage of the situation i've got install. we've been following closely and we'll continue to do so. but we're just going to finish up our program with a reminder of the breaking news coming from the us. we have 3 students at a high school in the state of south carolina, wounded in a drive by shooting their reports ne, in stable condition. the school has since been infatuated. investigators on the scene will keep updated on this developing story. this is lot international is good, happy with us. the
6:30 pm
long when i would chose the wrong when i was just don't yet to see out the same because the after an engagement it was the trail when so many find themselves world apart and we choose to look for common ground in now we have cigarettes. 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 you more precursor? someone would go to what show the cost.
