the american dream, but the big question of who the dream has been for me all the campbell apple sees more tail, says desperate parents trying to pass the children to us. so just hoping to give them a better chance of a new life. the u. s. military use against the massing, the feel same that it risks being overrun. thousands remains stranded in afghanistan, governments around the world are facing criticism for the slow response to the crisis. we get from german nationally begging for rescue for both him and his fiance. let us finally leave this caliphate give me and my fiance permission to enter germany ah

other good afternoon. thanks for joining us. sonata international the telephone has declared the creation of these law make emerett of afghanistan, the same name they use for the country when they were last in power for days on from the taliban. the dramatic return. chaos continues at campbell international airport as people tried to flee on wednesday. hundreds crowded as berries and fences. babies were seen been passed over the crowd, towards us soldiers stationed at the port with parents hoping to give their kids a better chance to be making them fast. still being heard coming from taliban checkpoint at least 12 people have been killed since sunday. i mean at the or doesn't small been injured

report suggested the us military is peer gas to disperse the crowds who massing at the entrance. dozens of people who, seeing sitting on the ground with the possessions laid all around with atkins queuing at the perimeter. it's now been confirmed that us troops have been firing warning shots as quote, a crowd control measure his verified video, showing afghan women at the pool, pleading with us, gone to that them. and the pentagon said that it has to defend the field. the thousands could overrun it, putting their own forces maritza and other western countries prioritizing, getting their own nations out. first, taliban fighters and checkpoints surrounded the port on wednesday and still now admits that it's 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 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 neo conservative 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 official that's catalogued now 3 carbo, can speak to local journalists show, have know jeff is arda, who's out there on the streets, good day t shirt. just give us a sense of what's going on there right now in the capital. and also in particular, the airport is the big problem. so i'll make the model followed by but the problem is quite if you see the shop we are most of the shop. and if you just around i don't think it was area was the most rush find is good. what are, what, what if you don't know what happens is gonna compare today?

and he says that the problem is that the people are totally back to normal life. notice no, they want to get the office, know anybody look all smooth and hold on to call it back to normal life. just that open salt. go back to the walk and also the big palsy woman. and didn't know if they wanted to go education nor much the war woman. but it's not because y'all put airport the airport. how i went from a caught up on me to find the the old gifts of don't let. i mean, i've got to get inside of this airport goes on. they have

a doctor. those on there will be no visa. no, i've got to get to the airport from a few days. we're hearing talk of a return of the northern alliance. several 1000 troops strong. do you think the, the population would prefer to just get back to normal life, which we're seeing some signs of it or the option of the northern alliance taking on the taliban? of course. so that would mean more conflict. why yes. what before proven have got a son only, i should remain under control of the northern alliance of the about i'm like home better with the initial so much. let's have a preparing for forming on

call for all form or need 3 for all form for the bill. no, i get someone up there. this is, i'm back. i'm out about according to my information. i'm just, jason is going on a monday, the 14th on because i don't want to make it through the government. but i did not realize that i could go with the war and we were bigger correlation already from government. then you won't be fighting from the everything else we can talk on monday parties then i as my fish, i might be alive with it and i'm sure you're paying know you're before me the progression is going on in front of yeah.

okay, well that's saved right down the street says cobble let bring his all the latest show and jeff, his other local afghan jernace, thanks so much now elsewhere, cobble airport is very much still overcrowded with people who are trying to get out the list of countries conducting rescue operations seems quite long. the number of those eventually managed to leave though isn't very big. and these are some of the problems that people are facing. the u. s. doesn't have enough troops to guard the port or to provide security along taliban checkpoint. some countries of security that it's about taking in refugees a more our prayer and more preoccupied with the return of the own citizens. now, america's evacuated the largest number of nationals to dates at length, rescue 22000 refugees. to the end of the month. i said you can feel thirties of soap opera by more than 300 british citizens, more than 2000 death guns. germany, which will slum for the taking 7 people on his 1st plane out of cobble as now

helped almost a 1000 on his feet to all of it, picks up the story. well, what we've been hearing here in germany from the interior ministers of the 16 states that make up the federal republic is there petitioning whole state hoffer, the federal interior minister, saying germany needs a new african refugees program is the official message or the message coming from the top of government here in berlin low is that they want to see african refugees housed and looked after in neighboring countries to galveston. countries like around pakistan as well. what we've heard from angular merkel though is she says there are lessons that must be learned from what's happened enough on the phone. these are still missing at this point. i can say that we have nor did she tell goals and rehab to discuss more lessons. we have learned from this german evacuation flights are continuing to leave the airport in cobble as of thursday morning, around 900 people had been taken out on lowes plains,

but not before. they'll germany a vacuum 265000 cans of beer and 340 bottles of wine. the common for some criticism for doing math before people were puts on those planes. we're also looking at how it's being perceived in the why the european sense, a lot of you politicians desperate to avoid a repeat of the 2015 refugee crisis. what we've, what we've heard from the likes of a manual mark on the french president, this him saying that his country needs to be protected from those who are seeking refuge. austria has said that camps need to be set up in neighboring countries to i've got us down to detain those people who've already previously been expelled from the european union to stop them. essentially trying to get back in to the you when it comes to greece, which is one of those countries that is at entry into the european union for

refugees and migrant. well, they're saying they're not going to see 2050 repeat itself. very strong words coming out of athens, as they say absolutely no way. is that going to happen there, in fact threatening, they'll send people back to turkey, which is in turn, say no way they can't take any more refugees coming over these particular routes. president, one, they're saying fences and walls will be erected the commission as well. those saying refugees need to avoid those routes that had been used since 2015, 16 to get in to the european union. we should avoid irregular routes, dangerous routes that are facilitated by smartness. instead, we should engage in legal, safe ways for people in need of international protection to come to your opinion. well, it's not just those people that have being referred to is illegal. irregular that are having issues at the moment, those that have right says it would be to get out of cobble airport on some of

those planes are also at a loss how to do that right now. our colleagues that are t shut, german language system service, spoke to one german passport holder, one german citizen who told us his situation. been though just not. i'm a german citizen throughout the day i stay in constant contact with 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. she's a citizen of afghanistan, but we hope to leave the country as soon as possible. and one of the evacuation charter flights, of course, were 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 got married abroad once we arrived 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 rich of all of our documents in our hands. let us finally leave this caliphate. give me my fiance. permission to enter germany. the depth kevin of the left parliamentary group in the bundle of talk under a hunker, believes that the german government masking the reality of the situation in afghanistan for quite some time. says a lot of high procedures 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. ready enough time there is lively, severe society and all these nato involvement

success. all this is of course is he, paul chrissy. 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 taliban to go to negotiations to negotiations as well. concerning the refugees and not to break all diplomatic ties. processes gathered in london on wednesday condemning the u. k . government response to events in afghanistan, cooling for those still starting to be brought to the u. k as quickly as possible.

the foreign secretary dominic rob sees criticism in the media. that's after it was reported. ask on interpreters with british troops missed being evacuated from campbell because the politician was too busy to agree to move while he was away on holiday has come. ministers refused to talk to a junior minister and delayed the cold. by which time the taliban swept into power, the daughter of a british national stuck in afghan stance, so they bet huffy, as he told us, officials have done little to help her mother's a 79 years old, fragile disabled woman with the previous history of a stroke. and she is currently going through severe arthritis and which is waiting for a surgery. so she cannot travel without a wheelchair access. and she has services from the airport and freshman issue was knocked out twice at the airport by crowding passengers trying to get into these flights. and other civilians who was trying to play a role. so on pressure and she wasn't able to afford the flights because of her

medical condition when she attended in the office was on in the couple on threat. surely she was constantly being dismissed by the guard. i tried literally bombarding their treasure accounts as social media currents 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, i was given. the same call continues on. the embassy was interesting and encouraging. all citizens to try and seek commercial life, which on question may be for being suspended the hasty with all the forces has seen a significant amount of us and nato weapon rate equipment, end up in television, hands. the sort, a similar online recently from cobble showing an abandoned headquarters of the international security assistance force and nato led mission and account is done.

as you can see, staff seemingly smashed computers, leaving bits and pieces around on the floor there apparently destroyed to prevent sensitive data getting into the wrong hands and the reasons it to be with a b c news. the us presidential barton admitted that he knew that would be carlson . galveston said it was unavoidable. i don't think it could have been handled in a way that there we were going to go back. and 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. the decision seems to cost by going back home is approval rating. sit in all time low in the book and explain 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 like the jobs. the new president is doing now. the events in afghanistan has 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 repub, ministrations, flawed 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, 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 previous asses and against the ford. beside our troops for 20 years, thing appointing wound 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 president 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 african 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 were not ever been a good time for the u. s. a. 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. physicians play the blame game of what happened in recent days office the channel onto america. let's put the issue are pretty backed . 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 withdraw. 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 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 kind of 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 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 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. a. nato and european countries like in libyan syria, and i've had, you know, disastrous consequences. so one would hope this my situation f gannon, 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 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 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 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, our students can president sheriff connie has defended his decision to resign and to flee campbell on sunday. and his 1st public address since leaving johnny blamed the failure of the peace process for the taliban snatching power hills rejected.

rumors that he run away with hundreds of millions of dollars stuffed in suitcases. the spot reports that he taken so much, she couldn't fit it all in his helicopter to them. you know, before you're 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 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 have going on and continue the fight. of the taliban take over. hasn't led to the widespread bloodshed that many feared public resistance to the suits ernest so far being limited had been some protests against changing the national african flag to the tele bands,

white and black moods and killed and injured civil protest. as early wednesday when they open fire on the crowd, the demonstrations don't necessarily be viewed as an to taliban, as people have been waving the national flag to mark the countries independence day . while mom was seen plumbing a lump post to flight in front of a cheering crowd. ma ma c reset to the telephone's power garb is forming in the countries 8th. its reported that african army soldiers of rolling in pan ship province is the only region of afghanistan still contested. that outpost of telling about resistance in the $900.00 ninety's, also held out during the soviet invasion bungee province is located in a valley of steep mountains that foreman, solid, natural defense was. foreign ministry has been meeting the main minister, i should say, has been meeting with his libyan counterparts in moscow, where the events in afghanistan, of course, came into question more now for monte correspondent he gets done off. you gotta take us through then what did i get of have to say about the african crisis?

well, neil, indeed the russian foreign minister sag elaborate has met his libyan counterpart, who is by the way, the 1st female foreign minister for libya. in fact, she has just left flute for the seconds ago. you can see one of the vehicles entourage is still being in the background. of course, if you can. so the meeting has just wrapped up, but of course there was a lot to discuss on libya. the topic of, of guide has done came close to sealing the spot life, especially given that so many parallels can be drawn between the 2 countries. i mean libya and ghana and of course, answer collaborative answering the question of my colleague of my colleague, he has kinda laid out moscow's vision and his vision as to how they will proceed to build relations with cobble, have a daughter seek. and when the whole of afghan, a storm was engulfed in a civil war, we advocated the need for an urgent transition to dialogue,

the participation of all the opposing afghan forces. and now when the taliban have in fact taken power a couple, if we were in favor of a nation wide dialogue that will allow the formation of a representative government, which will then work out agreement on the final settlement of the country with the support of the afghan vehicle. so essentially sir elaborate has said that in his opinion, russia remains very consistent to what it has been saying all along, even before the taliban seized power and gone, it's done. according to him, moscow will be seeking an inclusive government. this comes of course, against the backdrop of resistance, already emerging enough gunnison resistance against the taliban regime, the taliban power grip over the country. there are at least 2 whole spots, one to the north of capital, where the form of vice president, he's taking up bombs and saying he will not sit together with taliban. he will not allow the taliban dominate his country and another one in the north where another

resistance figure cool even already has cooled on the u. s. and west and allies to provide weapons to him and his handful of fighters so that they could fight back and at least show the taliban through force. perhaps that they are not the only political power in the country and that other voices have to be heard. including on the most high profile level it's donna brings the latest. thanks so much. now among the resistance figures in a kind of stand is the form of vice president to insist he is now the countries can take a lead to this also the some names think of a prominent scout warlord who opposed the 1st taliban rule. we go reaction from the former african interior administer. he believes that the taliban is unlikely to attack a national hero. the finding of most food is that expected figured in the country. the nation considered a national hero. maybe tyler, 100 feet that way,

but the majority of people see that. right. so it's a sensitive one, shady, sensitive media and it's hispanic. so what i understand that to cautious they don't want to stroll me. they want to to continue negotiating was correction. there was rampant production for quite a while in deployment and promotions. people who are not getting their salary, who. ready are not getting the means and also there was the item you were getting friend up where with the entire war the wanted a peaceful solution to the problem of political nations or the problem. so corruption combined with the increasing feeling within the army. this is, this is actually not there. why, why, why should they fight?

it wraps up our coverage for this our, on the latest developments enough ganna stand, we will keep you across. any developments here are naughty the ah, now we have e cigarettes. i just heard that it was the healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? these are making the tobacco floors. ah, i've been told an afghan fan, thousands of us citizens are trying desperately to flee as.
