but they know they come when he just was in the order with the cobble applewood sees more k officers, but u. s. military uses to tear gas to dispose crowds of people desperate to flee the country. i 1000 remain strong enough on governments around the world are facing criticism for the slow response to the crisis on the program. we hear from a german national who's begging for rescue for both him and his asking fiance, let us finally leave this caliphate. give me my fiance permission to enter germany . $10000.00 afghans soldiers are reportedly rallying in the east of the country under the leadership of the vice president who is 5th. he is now the country's a legitimate leader. and as you hottest in serious, easily providence,

we celebrate the tyler balance advances with parades on suites. despite having had washington stocking over the years as the face of the moderate opposition ah mid morning on thursday, and this is our national life for moscow. i'm real research, welcome to your story. so for days on from the taliban, dramatic return to power and i've kind of stone and chaos continues to cobble international airport as people try to flee on wednesday, hundreds crowded apple barriers the report suggest the u. s. military station that the apple use tear gas to disperse the crowds and nothing of the entrance. a dozens of people were seen sitting on the ground waiting for any chance to be evacuated with their possessions. laying all

around. and with afghans chewing at the perimeter, it's now being confirmed us true stopping firing, where they call they call a crowd control measure warning show. now this unverified video shows asked women at the airport, pleading with us 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, america and other western countries, while prioritizing getting their own nationals out 1st. meanwhile, taliban fighters and checkpoints surrounded the airport on wednesday, dependent on it now admits its facing difficulties. getting people back 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 us 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 us, 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 neo concern 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 cobble. apple has still over crowded 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 leave isn't so big. and there are, these are some of the problems that people face of the us doesn't have enough troops to guard the airport or provide security along taliban checkpoints. now some countries have security doubts about taking refugees in non mo, more preoccupied with the return of their own citizens. while the u. s. has evacuated the largest number of national so far and plans to rescue 22000 refugees by the end of august. as for the u. k, the authorities of sofa brought back more than 300 british citizens and over 2000 afghans, germany which was slammed only, taking 7 people of its 1st plane out of cobble, as now helped almost a 1000. we'll learn a little bit more about this and cross live to berlin, enjoy ne peter oliver. now here on the program. good morning, you, peter. the authorities are coming on the increasing pressure to do more on the day

. yes. what we're hearing, the very latest from here in germany is the interior ministers of the 16 states that may cope the country have been petitioning the federal interior minutes. the whole stay hopper, st. germany needs a new african refugee policy at the very top level though, of government policy remains that germany wants to see refugees fleeing afghanistan looked after in nearby countries. that was the message coming from angle america earlier this week and still remains the government message as well. what we have heard from the german chancellor though, is that she says lessons need to be learned about what went wrong enough. galveston, these are so limited at this point, i can say that we have nor did she sell goals. and we have to discuss more lessons we have learned from this. and german evacuation flights are constantly leaving, taking people from cobble airport to

a german base in those back as don. and then on to commercial airline is bringing them to frank for top of thursday morning, around 900 people have been taken on those flights. what has drawn some criticism though, is the fact that before a lot of those people got on flights, well, quite a lot of alcohol was taken on most plains as well, some 65000 cans of beer, 340 both of wine. if media reports are to be believed were taken out before people were put on those planes. now, while germany has no intention, it would seem at the moment of recognizing the taliban as the legitimate rulers of a gun. this done. what they are doing is they are in constant communication and direct communication with the taliban to try and facilitate the movement of people on their planes out over out of the country. we need to see how that's going to be affected by the incidents that are happening. if we look at the i m f, the international monetary fund, they've said that they're going to suspend. got tons,

access to some $440000000.00 worth of fan worth of monetary resources. monetary revenue that they had previously had access to that since the taliban has taken over a lot of european countries are really worried though about seeing a repeat of the 2015 migrant crisis. we heard. busy from the president of france, a manual call earlier this week saying his country needed to be protected is how he portez, from, from irregular migration, from people seeking refuge. we've also heard from the austrians, who said they want to see camp set up in near by countries to have got to stand to, to keep people there. the greeks of said, if people african refugees are trying to cross into grief, they need to be sent back to turkey. still know what and what turkey makes us that i think we know what turkey makes about. the president want to said that they can't take anymore people. turkey, of course,

already home to some 3000000 syrian refugees as it stands at the moment. we've also heard from the european commission who've been saying that they want to see a new unified in you asylum policy. that's something anglo miracle talked about earlier this week as well. in fact, cheap among the fact that there wasn't a lot of union in the european union when it came to asylum policy, it's been well known and well understood that the current asylum policy isn't fit for purpose not requires the somebody seeking asylum to seek asylum in the 1st country they arrive in, of course, that puts on fair burden on countries like grief and like italy and what we are seeing those wall. this is all going on, people that have the right. if you can put it that way to get all these evacuation flights still are in some confusion exactly how to do that. one german citizen spoke to our colleagues from r t h from cargo and explained his situation. and i just not, 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 our situation make it worse. if they find out that my fiance is engaged or married abroad once we arrive safely in germany, will 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, the deputy chairman of the last parliamentary group and the bundis dog under whom co believes the german government has been masking the reality of the situation. and i've gotten us down for quite some time. says a lot of high poker c at the moment and just to ation, we have to fear 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 now a full democratic state enough time there is lively, severe society and all these nato involvement success. all this is, of course, is hypocrisy it's. it's page, it was for 4 years 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 taliban to go to negotiations to negotiations as well. concerning the refugees and not to break all diplomatic ties. meantime, protest, i got that in london on wednesday condemning the u. k government's response to events in afghanistan, they called for those still stuck. they had to be brought to the u. k as quickly as possible. the daughter of. busy one of british national stock and i've gotten us on saturday, but he has told us that officials are doing very little to help my 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 and freshman issue is not say the twice at the airport by crowd passengers trying to get into these slides and other civilians who was trying to flee couple so pressure. and she wasn't able to afford the slides because of her medical condition when she attended in the office was on and 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, pay attention to my mother's condition. unfortunately, every time i've contacted them, i was given. the same call continues on. the embassy was insisting,

and encouraging. all citizens to trying a commercial life, which on question may be full, been suspended. while the hasty withdrawal of forces has seen a significant amount of us on nato weaponry and equipment, end up in the hands of the taliban. shares of footage right here recently, emerging on line from cobble shows and abandon headquarters of the international security assistance force. that's a nato mission. and i've got this done. you can see they just smashed up all the computers. they were apparently destroyed to prevent sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. in a recent interview with a b, c, the u. s. president joe biden admitted he knew that would be chaos in afghanistan, but said it was just unavailable. 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. well, that decision seems to have caused by and back at home is approval rating, hitting an old time low. as kelly muffin now, reports 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 that the new president is doing. now. the events in afghanistan have certainly been a factor because prior to them he was at 53 percent. so a 7 percent drop seems you 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, flawed 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 said they planned 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. hope president biden would accept responsibility and explain how he would fix the catastrophe in galveston instead to blame tis 3 previous asses and the against the ford. beside our troops for 20 years,

thing 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 tanks, 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 command the president for the action

that he took. this is what happens when you withdraw 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. and as politicians like to play the blame game of what actually happened over the past few days, i was just a tunnel auntie america with the issue up for debate. former president george w bush issued a statement on this. he said that he felt, quote, deep sadness at the return to power by the taliban, and called biden's withdrawal. these are all quote, he said, a mistake and unbelievably bad. 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 and by the way, and that allowed tele bond to begin to creep back in. and because all resources, all attention was thereby focused on iraq trying to trying 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 all together. and we, we failed. we failed in both countries. now we've got nothing but total disasters in both countries and over $6000000.00 worth of expenditure, not to mention the, the treasure of life and limb of countless americans and others that 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, a certain european countries like in libyan syria, disastrous consequences. so, one would hope this, my situation might be a wake up call, that 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, the war and afghans dance 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 a 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 shut blame in this situation and ultimately all falls back on the united states of america for the devastation of being rotten. that country right now. the african unprecedented. ashcroft ghani has defended his decision to resign and flee cobble on sunday. and his 1st public address, since leaving ghani, blamed the failure of the peace process for the taliban snatching power. he also rejected rumor to run away with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash stuffed into suitcases. despite reports, he tried to take so much cash. he couldn't fit all of it in his helicopter to them . you're here before you're welcome to come 1st. if i had stayed there, it would have led to bloodshed in 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 happen once again. i was forced to leave the dentist on with one set of traditional clothes a vest and the sandals was wearing. i didn't have the intention to flee and abandon the country. and i will talk to return back to get this done and continue the fight . taliban takeover hasn't led to the widespread bloodshed that many feared public resistance to the groups return has so far been very limited. there have been some protests against changing the national african fly to the taliban. black and white militant did kill and injure several protesters earlier on wednesday when they open fire on a crowd. however, the demonstrations can not necessarily be viewed as anti taliban, as people have been waiting the national flag to mark the countries independent say, why am i right there, climbing up a lamp post to fly in front of

a cheering crowd. further to the south in the city, of course, people also tore down the taliban spine from the main square and a hoist to the old gun flag and said, hello and fight his did open fire, but we understand no casualties. meanwhile, a more serious threat to the taliban power grab is forming in the countries east is reported around $10000.00, ask an army soldiers of rallying and pen ship province. it's the only region of i got over against now that is still actually contested. it was an outpost of taliban resistance, back in the 1990 s. it also held out during the soviet invasion upon j provinces, located within a valley of steep mountains to form a very solid natural defense and spearheading the resistance that now was the afghan, 1st vice president, umbrella, sally. unlike us nato, we haven't lost spirit and see enormous opportunities ahead. useless caveats

finished joined. the resistance valet has declared himself afghanistan's legitimate acting president. after, as for my boss, fled, he has ford is a mr. before and been in charge of the national security directorate and other key figure is helping him rally the resistance together. that's not my suit. he's the son, namesake of a prominent african warlord, who opposed the 1st title about rule. am i sued, 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 2 chairs, and you look and we achieve in the past 2 tickets. you're the 1st line of defense. we are defending europe, you're defending division. and i have concern fighting, not just for themselves, but for every one of my food has now urged western countries to provide weapons. and ammunition and videos have started emerging on line of the resistance forces. so you can see some of them on their motorcycles flying, the green, white, and black flags of the northern alliance. it was formed off the taliban 1st came to

power $996.00. and it's also a 4th group until the us led invasion. we heard from a number of analysts about whether the alliance is still poses any real threat to the taliban. well, did you remember me seeing how strong this is going to be? but it was a moment to sort of symbolic way because a ton of banners. one control of the country, pretty much all of it and this is small, small pockets, resistance could be remaining there and they couldn't develop, decides can i can 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 i'd like to try to been given that once in the concert district has a history of standing up against any kind of an italian rule legged with the soviets. later to the civil law. i'm the one that did

a good job that all those were pushing the, on the rally 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 this defined claim. he's going to be very, i'll on the mental in terms of going listening, that particular opposition, which was in there pretty slowly coming together without arms or rock to return. it was greeted with celebrations in syria's edaly province. of course, that's a hot bed of g hottest, very close to the turkish border. but that will not go down well with washington because that region is the base of the supposedly motto, road opposition, who washington was backing all along and thought is eager to don off. now explain. 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 p r. including pledges like this to abandon their

barbarous ways. i want to give assurances to all competitors, those on the position side as interpreters involved in military actions or those who helped civilian sectors. we have granted them all amnesty. we don't want to take revenge on anyone and those youths talented and from the soil. we don't want them to leave never, they are a valuable asset. they must stay in the country. it's not god willing. and according to sherry law, we will that women 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 were patients and carried

out the jihad. so men of syria trusting god, unify your ranks and hold up the taliban. is your example, sir? and jihad is even handed out suites, 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. hod sold as serious moderate opposition. the 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, because they're

a moderate syrian opposition. there is, but right now it doesn't control much territory news for front, which is now kind of affiliate 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 is and on mitigated disaster,

every terrorists around the world and syria and iraq, and in and in africa, are cheering the defeat of the united states military by a terrorist organization. while the west is now busy warning the world that g hardest 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. well, that's right on this. i was program here on our team to national highlighting the very latest development out of afghanistan, and we will continue to keep you up to date on what is happening in that water in the country. you can check in on air and online for the month in the meantime. we are back at the top of the out the

ah, this is been bus one vision show you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel 11. and i'm friendship or in washington coming up. the u. s. has moved to stop the taliban from expressing afghan funds stored in the country just days after the group to take over the nation straight ahead. we break down the decision and we have received further insight into the future of monetary policy from the u. s. federal reserve. when will the paper begin? we have an expert on hand to discuss, then can talk you the subject of an investigation over a soft driving cars will discuss why to us senators are telling the fcc that tesla is misleading customers and endangering the public tact show today for dive right in the.
