the the cobble apple, it sees more chaotic scenes that the u. s. military uses tear gas to disperse the crowd of people desperately still trying to flee the country. and a thousands remain stranded in afghanistan, governments around the world, appraising criticism for the slow response to the crisis. we hear from a german national who's begging for rescue about him. this afghan fiance, let us finally leave this caliphate give me and my fiance permission to enter germany. 10000 a gun soldiers are reportedly rallying in the east of the country under the leadership of the vice president who in 5th he's now but countries legitimate had taken leader, had been serious italy province celebrate. the taliban is advancing with parade

sweets. we take a look at washington's history with the middle east and extremist group. ah, 9 o'clock on thursday morning here at moscow. this is arty international, running up your top stories for this hour. welcome to the. so for days on from the taliban dramatic return to power and i've gone on and chaos continues to be cobbled international airport as people still continue to try and flee on wednesday, hundreds crowded airport barriers. the report suggests the u. s. military station to the f, or use tear gas to disperse crowds and think of the entrance. dozens of people were seen sitting on the ground waiting for a chance to be evacuated with their possessions, lying all around. and with afghans queuing at the perimeter,

it's now been confirmed. us troops have been firing warning shots as quote, a crowd control measure. now this unverified video shows asking women at the full pleading with the u. s. gods to let them in. the pentagon says it has to defend the field because thousands could overrun it, putting their own forces at risk of western countries, or prioritizing, getting their own nationals out 1st. and the pentagon says it's getting as many on board as plains as they can. we don't have the capability to go out and collect of large numbers of people. we're really working hard to get as many people through as possible. and quite frankly, we're not we're, it's obvious. we're not close to where we want to be in terms of getting the numbers through. so we're going to work that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. the u. s. was caught unawares and i think once again, they have failed to analyze what the situation was. it really puts on full

display, the delusions of the u. s. which after all, has been in afghanistan for almost 20 years. consuming, according to some estimates, 2 trillion dollars. this money has not gone to the benefit of the afghan people, obviously. and this whole enterprise has been very bad for the american people as well. many us soldiers have died. the good thing about exposing the delusions of the u. s. empire and the neoconservatives to run u. s. foreign policy is that it's going to make them harder to continue. so there needs to be a lot more criticism and exposure of what the reality is versus what are the promises and the, the false estimates by us intelligence officials. so cobble that board is still overcrowded, with people struggling to flee,

while the list of countries conducting rescue operations seems quite long. the number of those who have actually managed to get evacuated out of a, it's still relatively small. and these are some of the problems that people face of the us doesn't have enough troops to got the app or to provide security along the taliban checkpoints. now, some countries have security doubts about taking refugees in an approach supplied with the return of their own citizens. fair enough, one might imagine how the u. s. has evacuated the largest number of nationals so far and plans to rescue 22000 refugees by the end of august. as the u. k, the authorities have so far brought back more than 300 british citizens and over 2000 afghans, a germany which was slammed for only taking 7 people on its 1st plane out of cobble, has now help hundreds. and we've heard from my job a national though in the meantime, who is currently stuck in the country with his afghan fiance. and i just, i'm a german citizen. throughout the day, i stay in constant contact with the german foreign ministry and the german

ambassador to couple. i received an email saying that one can enter germany, only one is a family member of a german. my fiance is such a person, but she's not being recognized in the official status, and she's a citizen of afghanistan. we hope to leave the country as soon as possible on one of the evacuation charter flights. of course we're very worried about what's going on. we haven't gone out since the day before yesterday since the taliban set up checkpoints all around the city. were also worried that they could find out that i'm a foreigner or that in the future are situation like you're worse if they find out that my fiance is engaged or got married abroad. once we arrive safely in germany, we'll of course have no more reason to fear for our lives. we live in a free and democratic country. that's where i want to return to. that's where i belong. i'm calling on the government and the german foreign ministry to let us finish all the paperwork in germany. we have the originals of all of our documents in our hands. let us finally leave this caliphate give me and my fiance, permission to enter germany. amounting crisis is opening old wounds in europe. some

states are refusing to allow any refugees across the board is fearful of a repeat of 2015, excuse me. that was when a 1000000 migrants flooded the new polar fleer reports. 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 it. citizens pay for the quote. the decisions 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. there's almost franz, he 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 ride 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 weight for this 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 you are a pin leaders talk about human rights? they seem to be saying all the why things, when it comes to love and compassion and 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 needed practically weeping when it comes to the issue of women's rights. and yet it just remains words. it's almost like it's fancy. p r. the overall sentiment really is one that europe does not want migrant. and they're not going to be offering any kind of helping hand. and just in case you need further proof of this, germany has come under fire for using its military ships to bring some $65000.00 cans of beer to germany instead of bringing hundreds of us guns and their families who have hoped the german authorities in afghanistan these people were not drawn to pieces and they have not been evacuated in time. the german president has said that he asked gun turmoil, shame the waste, the images of desperation at campbell airport. 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 german, so increasingly worried about an influx of refugees. almost 2 thirds of the population has admitted that they are concerned about a repeat of the 2016 migration crisis. now this comes as important. elections ought to be held next month, a general election in germany, and presidential elections that will be held in april next year in france. the issue of migration is likely to be a hot potato. come those elections, which is why you have politicians fighting over the us gun migration potential crisis, the deputy chairman of the left parliamentary group and the buddhist dog under whom co believes the german government has been masking the reality of what's been

happening. and i've got to start for quite some time says a lot of high poker, c at the moment and just to ation, we have to see if it is a complete disaster. what we are witnessing even and the beginning of this year, the government created to picture in our parliament that there is a full democratic state. ready enough time there is lively, civil society and all these nato involvement success . all this is of course, this hypocrisy it's, it's page. it was for 4 years of painted a picture which is not in line with reality, which we can see, you know, i think we should take and bring refugees who are in

fear of life. but at the same time, i think it's necessary to really talk to the real power in afghanistan, the taliban to go to negotiations to negotiations as well. concerning the refugees and not to break all diplomatic ties. projects just got it in london on wednesday condemning the government's response to the event. and i've got a cold for those still stuck there to be brought to the u. k as quickly as possible . the daughter of a british national stock in august on saturday, but fees, he told us officials have done very little to help my mother's a 79 years old, fragile disabled woman was previous for 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 and freshman issue is not for the twice at the airport by crowd boston. just trying to get into the slides and other civilians who was trying to flee couple. so she wasn't able to afford the slides because of her medical condition when she attended in the office in the couple on stress, surely she was constantly being dismissed by the guard. i tried literally bombarding their twitter account, the social media current, trying to get their attention to and bear in mind and pay attention to my mother's condition. unfortunately, every time i contacted them, i was given the same call continues on. the embassy was interesting and encouraging . all citizens to try and a commercial life which on question me before being suspended. the u. s. president

has admitted he knew that would be chaos in afghanistan. in an interview with a b. c. news joe biden said the collapse of the was on the country was unavoidable . 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's a way to have gotten out without chaos and suing. i don't know how that happens. i don't know how that happened. well, the decision does seem to have cost biden back at home with his approval rating, hitting an old time low is our correspondent caleb. the chaotic scenes and cobble have certainly not been good for the white house. the approval rating of joe biden has now dropped to less than half only 46 percent of americans say they liked the jobs of the new president is doing now. the events in afghanistan of certainly been a factor because prior to them he was at 53 percent. so a 7 percent drop seems to have resulted. some polls are now showing that joe biden

handling of afghanistan is less popular than george w bush's handling of afghanistan. and 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 florida execution of the us withdraw. the committee will seek a full accounting for these shortcomings. now, 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. ready 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 disasters 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 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, who is 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 americans are not pleased. there is also some outrage in the international community, not a good day for the white house. so as politicians do play the blame game of what's been happening in recent days, and i've gotten this on our sister channel, our t america put the issue up for debate. we really began to lose the war in

afghanistan in 2003 when he diverted attention to iraq. and instead of focusing on afghanistan as we got deeper, deeper into iraq, afghanistan became known as the forgotten war. and people were wondering what's going on with that war ended by the way. and that allowed taliban to begin to creep back in. and because all resources, all attention was thereby focused on iraq trying to try to nation building and regime change. nation building, which were really, really crappy at rather by the way. and we need to get out of that business altogether. and we, we fail. we failed in both countries. now we've got nothing but total disasters in both countries and over $60000000.00 worth of expenditure. not to mentioned the treasure of life and limb of countless americans and others. they have been lost and it's just, and it's a tragedy, as,

as might just say that there are nato invoked article 5 that you know, and an attack on one member state is an attack on all. so at what point should they have returned to their original mission of keeping afghanistan secure? we've seen these heavy handed interventions by the u. s. and nato and european countries like in libyan syria, had disastrous consequences. so, one would hope this, my situation, f canister might be a wake up call. you know, these military interventions don't work affectively and cause a lot of hardship and suffering for the population of these countries who have to solve their own internal political problems. most international legal scholars believe the war and afghans was illegal because the taliban never directly sent 911 hijackers to bomb the trade center. and there are no legal basis for that war. so the swift advancement made by the taliban is failure of the afghan forces. i mean,

is that kind of tone deaf and simply just punting responsibility. the us cannot and should not try to deflect blame for what's happened there at the end of the day. we are the ones who invaded that country. we're the ones who over through the government there and replaced it with, with our own. and so when we suddenly decide to leave and everything goes to crap, we're ultimately responsible for that. you cannot, you cannot shock blame in this situation and ultimately all falls back on the united states of america for the devastation that being rotten, that country right now, are the ousted kind of precedent shot gun. he has defended his decision to resign and fleet cobble on sunday. and his 1st public address since leaving gunny blame the failure of the peace process for the taliban snatching power is also rejected. rumors he run away with hundreds of millions of dollars stuffed into suitcases. despite reports, he had taken so much cash,

he couldn't fit all of it in his personal helicopter. to them near the, please welcome to come 1st. if i had stayed there, it would have led to bloodshed and campbell with the telephone and their national and international colleagues. had said clearly that while i'm there, they won't see any peaceful course. if i had stayed there, the president of august on would once again be hanged before the very eyes of the guns and the big shameful and historic disaster would have. and once again, i was forced to leave the dentist on with one set of traditional clothes, invest, and the sand off it was wearing. i didn't have the intention to flee and abandoned the country. and when talked to return back to afghanistan and continue to fight a taliban take over, has not led to the widespread bloodshed that many feared public resistance to the groups returned has so far been very limited. and i have been some protests against changing the national afghan flag to the taliban. the white and black van astounded militants did kill and injure several protesters earlier on wednesday when the open

fire on a crowd. however, the demonstrations can not necessarily be viewed as anti taliban, as people have been waving the national fly to mock the countries independent se right there, there's a man who went up a lamp post to fly in front of a cheering crowd. now further south from the city, of course, people also tore down the taliban banner from the main square and hoisted the old afghan flag and said, a taliban fighters open fire. we understand. nobody was hurt. meanwhile, a more serious threat to the taliban power grub is actually forming. and the countries east is reported that around $10000.00 afghan army soldiers are rallying in pan ship province. if the only region of i've got to start it's still contested . it was an outpost of taliban resistance, back in the 1900 ninety's. it also held out during the soviet invasion. hodge, a province is located within a valley of very steep mountains. the foremost solid natural defense in spearheading the resistance. but now with the afghan 1st vice president and lula

sally. unlike us nato, we haven't lost spirit and see enormous opportunities ahead, useless caveats finished joined. the resistance sala has declared himself. i've got the stones legitimate, acting president. after. as for my boss, fled the country. he has fought the is the mists before and been in charge of the national security directorate and other key figure in helping him rally the resistance together. is my suit, he said son, not namesake, of a prominent afghan warlord who opposed the 1st taliban rule. my suit spoke 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 and you look at, you can see that 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 every 1 o'clock. my food has now over the western countries to provide

weapons and ammunition and videos have already started emerging on line of the resistance forces so he can see them on the motorcycles flying the green, white, and black flags of the northern alliance. it was formed after the taliban 1st came to power in 1996 and it for the group until the us led invasion. we heard from a number of analysts about whether the lions still poses any real threat to the taliban. well, it remains machine, how strong this is going to be, but teachers, the moment it sort of symbolic way because a ton of under one control of the country, pretty much all of it. and this is school, small pockets, resistance could be remaining there and they couldn't develop, decides to doomed 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 lead to try to given that funds to value the punch district has

a history of standing up against any kind of italian rule noted with the soviets. later to the 7 law, i'm the one that did a good job that all those were washing the thunder valley around. the literacy of i met some assaults some masoud 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 under mental in terms of going this thing, that particular opposition, which was in there pretty slowly coming together. well, that's how the bonds are rapid return was created with celebrations and serious edaly province, the hot bed of she hottest there near the turkish border. but that will not be going down well in washington, because washington is always said that those up opposition flight is all moderate and they're the ones the washington has been supporting all along. as always, you could have done often our the taliban is back on the offensive this time on an

international scale, but instead of machine guns and bombs, their weapon of choice is payoff. including pledges like this to abandon their barbarous ways. but 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 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, 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 this area law, some are sure it's the same old jihad preaching taliban. for example, extremists in the syrian province of ed lib who've been out celebrating what they

see as the victory of their idea, logical twin. 20 years ago, george w bush declared the end of the taliban. but the taliban, where patients and carried out their jihad. so men of syria trusting god, unify your ranks and hold up the taliban. is your example. unclear and jihad is even handed out sweets, as if imagining they themselves had just and to damascus. and in case you forgot who these taliban loving terrorists are. they are the same people, the mainstream media and politicians, hard sold as serious moderate opposition. 80

to 85 percent of their bombing has been done against the opposition. the moderate opposition, not the extreme, but the moderate opposition in syria. is there a moderate syrian opposition? there is, but right now it doesn't control much territory news for front, which is now kind of feeling as absorbed as have other smaller groups have absorbed a number of what we would have previously called the modern opposition situation. theory has always been very complex. it was actually back into 2012. i was in a country in the middle east, near syria, speaking to people who were living on the border at the time. you know, nobody really knew anything, especially in the us. americans are generally kept in the dark by our government. we didn't know much, but over there, there were dozens upon dozens of terrorist organizations of care. it's actors that were being funded by the united states being called these people rebels that us

with the 40. while edna is a western beacon of hope for regional democracy. cobble is not what way of saying isn't on mitigated disaster. every terrorists around the world and syria, in iraq and in and africa, are cheering the defeat of the united states military by a terrorist organization. while the west is now busy warning the world that jihadist movements will draw inspiration from america humiliation and i've got to stand, it seems not to have noticed that it's supposed moderates in syria. actually the 1st to have done. so i, that's a rap on this. our program here in our international, highlighting the latest developments from afghanistan. appreciate you joining us, catch up on any of our stories online at r t dot com for the meantime. we're back in half of

the oh, the news. the news now we have the 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 are making the tobacco tours? oh, me . well come to the alec salmon show where we focused on the license to be drawn from the current dramatic events. and i've gone this done after 20 years and call it in life support. they've got to stop government collapse within days. much of the embarrassment and humiliation of the usa britain underneath to allies. today we take the action from the white toast, the house of commons and from the move.
