american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for the complex both these nor chaos is desperate parents show to pass the children to american soldiers hoping to give them a better chance of a new life. the us military, easy to augusta disburse those massing at the feel thing at risk of being over run the thousands who remain stranded enough gown is done. governments around the world are facing criticism for the slow response to the crisis. we hear from the german nationalist begging for rescue for both him and this afghan fiance. we have let us finally leave this caliphate. give me and my fiance permission to enter germany. ah,

welcome, great. have you with us? this is our team. since the taliban has declared the creation of these nomic en route of afghan is done the same name they use for the country when they were last empower for days on from the telephones. dramatic return chaos continues at cobble international airport as people tried to flee on one say, hundreds crowded, its berries and fences. the reason seems babies being passed over the crowds towards us soldiers stationed with parents hoping to give them the chance of being evacuated. gun fires, phil been heard coming from talib, unchecked for at least 12 people of being killed. sunday, amid chaos of the fort, dozens more been injured.

suggested the american military officials seized american military officers. you take us to disperse crowds. at the entrance, the dozens of people were seen sitting on the ground that possessions laying all around the afghans. cute at the permit. it has now been confirmed that us troops have been foreign warning shots as quote, a crowd control measure isn't verify. the video that shows asking women at the pool, pleading with us, going to let them in pentagon says that it has to defend the field, because thousands could overrun it and put their own forces at risk. america and other western countries are prioritize and getting their own nationals out. first, my telephone fighters and checkpoints surrounded the airport and to go now admit 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 us empire and the neoconservative 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, the 14 cobble still over crowded, the people struggling to flee the list of countries conducting rescue operations. i seen quite long that the number of those who've actually managed to leave isn't very big. these are some of the problems people are facing. america doesn't have enough troops to guard the airport or to provide security along taliban checkpoints . some countries have security doubts about taking in refugees are more preoccupied with the return of their own citizens. americans have created a large number of national so far plans to rescue 22000 refugees. by the end of the month, the u. k. the authorities have so far, bro bought more than 300 british citizens and 2000 and africans, germany, which was slammed for the taking 7 people on this 1st plane out of cobble as now

hoped almost a 1000. it's oliver has more. 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 hope of the federal interior minister saying germany needs a new african refugees program, 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 the 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 gone. these are still missing at this point. i can say that we have, nor did she tell of goals. and we have to discuss what lessons we have learned from this german evacuation flight. the 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 vacuum 265000 cans of beer and

340 bottles of wine. the common for some criticism for doing math before people were put on those planes were also looking at how it's being perceived in the why the european sends. 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 a seeking refuge. austria has said that camps need to be set up in neighboring countries to i've got us done 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 an entry into the european union for refugees and migrants. 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 ed, 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 into the european union. we should avoid irregular routes, dangerous routes that are that 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 or a regular that are having issues at the moment. those that have rights as 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 systems service, spoke to one german passport holder, one german citizen who told us his situation. 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. she's a citizen of afghanistan, but we hope to leave the country as soon as possible. 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 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 left parliamentary group in the been to stock. andrew, who believes that the german government has been masking the reality of the situation in afghanistan for quite some time. says a lot of high progress the 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 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. protest is gathered in london on wednesday condemning the government's response to events in afghan, the stuff they called for those still to be brought to the u. k. as quickly as possible. you, case foreign sex is facing calls to resign,

as well. after african interpreter, sued, work with british soldiers miss being evacuated from cobble because dominic rob was too busy away on holiday to give the green light in time. monsieur baba cock handle enough gun form, a judge who fled the country when the telephone 1st came to power and then moved to the u. k. told us how difficult it was to escape the malicious i joe was not competing with a dollar bond in front of me. my. she became my house and gabriel, our front door. so i was hiding in the back to 456 hours when the list and we decided to we should be back in 2007. did try to kill me on, on me over in a car before this was done most the in my life when i missed my

country, my job, my family, the age of 43, is not the thing you rate in your life, chiefly to me and for my, i feel the women of chemist on that did not change a lot of evidence against the taliban. and before particularly upset the rapid fall of the western bank government in kabul. and the resurgence of the taliban or british veterans and families who lost loved ones in the conflict. some of questioning for both sacrifices were in vain. keesing us and u. k. governments of bulging the withdrawal. we spoke to the mother, full and pretty soldiers show benny, who was killed in a fire fight with caliber militants in may, 2009. he was just 22 is not a genette, but he told us about the emotions she's been feeling since sunday. a lot of, i'm very on the outside able to do that,

that they've been able to come in and do what they have enabled to do. a lot of people are asking, you know, was at worst that i question now and since sunday, reflect profile in don't think any of the mom and families that have lost loved ones. they have really been able to comprehend best. i know that when my son was killed, he was killed, saved, and women and children and the man that he was mentioned at a time along with his own me. and i will be for effort grateful to him. and so i craved that at the end of the d has late was given to try and meet this country. bad to stop the tyler from being able to rule the neighbor to cause head or anyway, as the light went off down and within 24 hours, they have just walked in and took over. it's just ludicrous to me, need to explain why the fight was traced. rapidly between the key and america beneath explain why this is that,

i mean i personally would like an inquiry into why that happens like this. women are among the most threatened groups in taliban control scanner, stance. this is take over st ads in cobble showing women's faces have been painted over some local say that women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number. daring to come out to a side chill in journalists who stranded in kabul, says that he hasn't seen a single woman in his hotel since the taliban took control. but you will be like, i live in a hotel and capital citizens and stuff because i can't leave the premises. the 1st thing i witness doctor riding and capitol was a horrendous terror. attacking the defense ministry. that was a sign of things to come. the attack was terrible soldiers, taliban fighters that were all blown to pieces, locals have been watching. recent events with horror. these are dog days. tragedy that's causing a tremendous upheaval in society. don't forget that the taliban is talking about

the inevitable creation of an emirate of galveston. what does that mean? it means the regime that's more religious than political on top of the religious measures. they'll introduce more violent ones. and these are the worst, the women which make up of the half of the population will have no basic rights, no freedom of expression. they will be covered from head to toe with just little slits for the eyes. women of very bad are frightened by what could be in store for them. they will effectively be turned into slaves. many of them are leading figures activists, many in sports music. different types of activities have been told. for example, bout a female pianists spend 20 years studying to realize the dream of attending the conservatory the taliban and told her no, you won't play any more the end of her pass. so once time to life, that's what i've been told, and that's a drama. the hasty withdrawal of forces as seen a significant amount of us and nato weaponry and equipment end up in taliban hands

. his footage recently emerged on line from carbo showing an abundant headquarters of the international security assistance force as a natal admission in afghanistan. as you can see, stuff similarly smashed computers to bits and pieces leaving all lying on the floor . they were apparently destroyed to prevent sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. and reason interview with a b c news. president joe barton admitted he knew that the captain of canister 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 biden home is approval rating is at an all time low level finance details. 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 of 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's 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 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 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. president biden would accept responsibility and explain how he would fix the catastrophe of gaston. instead, he blamed his 3 pre disasters and the absence of 4 decide 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 credit biden cause into serious question. his ability to carry out his duties as commander in chief, the president's failure to acknowledge his disastrous withdraw 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 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, who is the national security advisor, 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. it's politicians play the blame game of what happened in recent days. our sister channel on t america. let's put 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 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 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 that have been lost and it's just and it's a tragedy. and 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? you know, we've seen these heavy handed interventions by the us and nato, a certain european countries like in libyan syria. and i've had, you know, disastrous consequences. so, one would hope this might situation f canister might be a wake up call. these military interventions don't work affectively and cause

a lot of hardship and suffering for the population of these countries will have to solve their own internal political problems. most international legal scholars of 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 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 is being rotten. that country

right now. well, the asked did ask as president, asha connie has defended his decision to resign and flee. cobble in his 1st public address since leaving gone, he blamed the failure of the peace process for the taliban snatching power. he also rejected rumors that he'd run away with hundreds of millions of dollars stuffed into suitcases. the spot reports that he taken so much, he couldn't even fit it all into 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 and campbell, the taliban, 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 again, it's done with one set of traditional clothes, a vest, and the sandals i was wearing. i didn't have the intention to flee and abandon the country and i will talk to return back to have going to stop and continue the fight

. of the taliban take over has not led to the widespread bloodshed that many had feared. public resistance to the groups returns been limited so far. i've been some protests against changing the national african flag to the taliban is white and black innocence killed and injured several protests on wednesday when they open fire on the crowd. the demonstrations can't necessarily be viewed as anti taliban. people have been waiting the national flag to mark the countries independence day or money even seen climbing alarm post to flight in front of a cheering crowd. 7 in while a more serious threat to the telephone's power grub is forming in the countries east with reports that africa all me soldiers are rallying in pansy province. the only region of afghan, the stand, this still contested. it was an outpost of taliban resistance in the 1900 ninety's . it also held out during the soviet invasion, and j province is located within the valley of state mountains forming a solid natural defense. and among the resistance figures is the form of vice

president to insist hayes. now the countries can take a leader as also the sun and namesake of a prominent afghan warlord, who opposed the 1st taliban bill. we got reaction from the full mask on interior minister. he believes that the taliban is unlikely to attack a national hero. the final of my food is that expected figured out in the country, the conservative of national. or maybe you thought of under see that to me, but the majority of people see that me. so it's a sensitive one. shade is a 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. there was connection, there was rampant corruption 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, i mean we're getting fed up where we didn't turn the war. the wanted a peaceful solution to the problem of political nations was a 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? russia's foreign ministers been meeting with his libyan counterpart in moscow where events in galveston came into question. as he gets done of his details, the russian foreign minister said, live rove has meant his libyan counterpart, who is, by the way, the 1st female foreign minister for libya. in fact, she has just left for me. seconds ago you can see one of the vehicles of entourage 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 ceiling, the sport life, especially given that so many parallels can be drawn between the 2 countries. i mean libya and i've got a son of course, and circle average of 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 listen. if you see, when the whole of afghanistan was engulfed in a civil war, we advocated the need for an urgent transition to dialogue with the participation of all the opposing african forces. and now when the taliban have in fact taken power a couple, we were in favor of a nationwide dialogue that will allow the formation of a representative government, which will then work out agreement on the final settlement, the country with the support of the afghan people. so essentially circ 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 gas is 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. the right lease to hold spots one to the north of capital, where the form of vice president is taking up bombs and saying he will not sit together with taliban. he will not allow the taliban dominate his country and another one further in the north where another resistance figure even already has cooled on the u. s. and weston allies to provide weapons to him and his handful of fighters so that they could fight back and at least show the taliban the 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,

the who makes no certainly no borders and the model number please. and you as emerge. we don't have authority, we go to the back seen the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people judge, you know, come crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us it makes us feel very proud

that we need together 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 tours the the news the this is been by someone business or you can't afford to mess. i'm ready to 11 and i'm friendship or in washington coming up to the us has moved to stop the taliban from accessing afghan funds stored in the country just as days after the

groups take over the nation straight ahead. we break down the decision and we have .
