the ah, global level seasonal chaos, this desperate for the past, the children to american soldiers hoping to give them a new life to us in the jesus. again, that is a birth those last thing in the field saying that it risk being overrun. british families. the last love one of the conflicts and i've gone to some of the veterans. so this might follow telephones rapid research questioning. now whether all would sacrifice the bean invade, you speak to the mother of one full liberty soldier. what design we are trying to do that a lot of people are asked and you know, was the worst question that since sunday when

i hi, thanks for joining us. you're watching international will begin this. now it's in breaking news. coming out of washington d. c. the area near the library of congress up on capitol hill has been evacuated. police in the f. b, i are investigating reports of a truck containing explosives. the public are being urged to stay away from the scene is more information comes in on that we will bring it straight to the taliban has declared the creation of these law mchenry of afghan. this done the same name they use for the country when they were lost in palate for days on from the taliban. dramatic return. the ban, fresh scenes of chaos set cobbles may not folders. people tried to flee. wednesday hundreds crowded its batteries and fences. in children were passed over people's heads as desperate parents hoped that us gods might accept them and bring them to

safety. gunfire was heard coming from taliban checkpoints. and sunday, at least 12 people have been killed amid the chaos of the airport, with dozens more injured. repose suggest the us military use to get to disperse crowds who must at the entrance, dozens of people was seen sitting on the ground with the possessions lying around. the thing confirmed us troops did fire warning shots as quote, a crowd control measure isn't a verified video. that shows africa women that the pro, pleading with us gods to let them in, depends on says that it has defend the port because 1000 spied over run it. thing the own force is at risk america to the western countries. prioritizing, getting their own nationals out. first. taliban fighters and checkpoints surrounded the board on wednesday. and the pentagon now admits its difficulties in getting people bank. 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 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 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. coble, apples fill over crowded with people struggling to get amps while the list of countries conducting rescue operations might seem long. the number of those actually managing to leave isn't and these are some of the problems people face. america doesn't have enough troops to guard the airport or to provide security new taliban checkpoints. some countries have security does about taking it in. refugees are more preoccupied with the return of their own citizens. america is evacuated, the largest number of nationals to date. also the plan to rescue 22000 refugees by the end of august, the k of authorities. there are so far, bro, bye. more than 300 british citizens in 2000 and daf guns. germany,

which was slammed for only taking 7 of its own people on the 1st plane out of cobble as now helped almost a 1000 to oliver has more. well, what we've been hearing here in germany from the interior ministers of the 16 states that may cope the federal republic is there petitioning holes. the 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. and berlin low is that they want to see african refugees. how's been looked after in neighboring countries to of canister countries like a ron 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 at this point, i can say that we have nor did she tell goals, and we have to discuss what 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 those planes, but not before. they'll germany vacuum 265000 cans of beer and 340 bottles of wine to come in for some criticism for doing math before people were put 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 of 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 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, 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 of that facilitated by smartness. instead, we should engage in legal, safe ways for people in need of international protection to come to europe in union . well, it's not just those people that have been referred to, is illegal, a regular 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 at the german language system 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 are situation. mike, you worse if they find out that my fiance is engaged or got 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 rich 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 bundle. talk andrea, who co police. the german government's been masking the reality. the situation in afghanistan for quite some time. there's a lot of high progress the at the moment and the situation we have to see 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 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 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 government's response to events in afghanistan. they call for those skills that

we brought to the case quickly as possible. the case, foreign secretary is facing calls to resign. after ask our interpreters we worked with british soldiers miss being evacuated from cobble because dominic rob was too busy on holiday to give the green light in time. months of a car, kill an african form, a judge. she fled to come to the telephone. first came to power and moved to the k . does not difficult. it was to escape the militants. my job was not popping out with a dollar bond in 1997 in front of me. my she became and my house and gabriel, our front door. so i was hiding in 2456 hours when the less diploma and we decided she should live in 2007 did try to can mean just on, on me over in a car before this was done most the in my life. and i missed my

country, my job, my family, the age of 43 is not easy. 3 there thing you rate in your life. chiefly, for me and for my, you know, women activists and have chemist on a do not change a lot of evidence against the telephone to us than before or particularly upset at the rapid fall of the western government in kabul. and the resurgence of the taliban. a british veterans of families who lost loved ones in the conflict. so the questioning of all those sacrifices might have been in vain accusing the new governments of bulging the withdrawal. we spoke to the mother of full and pretty soldiers show benny, who was killed in a fire fight with taliban militants in may of 2009. he was just 22 years old at the time. his mother, jeanette ben, told us about the emotions she has been feeling since sunday was i'm very, i'm able to do that that they've been able to come in and do what they have been

able to do. a lot of people are asking, you know, was at worst i question that and since sunday, reflect profile in don't think any of the mums and families that have lost loved ones. they have really been able to comprehend best. i know that when my son was told he was killed save, and women and children and the men that he was mentioned at a time along with his own una. and i will be for effort grateful to him and so craved that at the end of the d, his life was given to try meet the country back to start the child from being able to rule the neighbor to cause head or anyway as like one off down and then 24 hours. they have just walked in and took over. it's just ludicrous to me, need to explain to us why the fight is true so rapidly between the key and america

beneath. explain why this is that mean i would like an inquiry into why that happens like women are among the most threatened groups in taliban controlled f. gonna stand since to take over st. anne's in cobble. so women's faces have been painted over and local say that women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number. daring to come out here to get you to chill in journalist who stranded in cobble says that he hasn't seen a single woman is hotel since the taliban took control of you with the like i live in the hotel and capital citizens and stuff because i can't leave the premises, the 1st thing i witness doctor riding and capitol was horrendous terror attacking the defense ministry. that was the 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 dark days tragedy that's causing the tremendous upheaval in society. don't forget that the taliban is talking about the inevitable

creation of an emery of galveston. what does that mean? it means the regime that's more religious than political on top of the religious measures though introduce more violent ones. and these are the worst for 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. i've been told, for example, bout a female pianist spent 20 years starting to realize the dream of attending the conservatory the taliban and told her no, you won't play anymore. the end of her passion. so one time to life, that's what i've been told, and that's a drama. what countries are busy getting the nationals out of a gun, the sand among them. russia is embassy. and campbell estimates that they are up to a 100 russians in the country. moscow says the taliban guaranteed the safety of all

russian plains. officials who indicated it's ready to lift african refugees to any 3rd country willing to accept them. all russia, stop diplomat, the school for inclusive dialogue and kind of stuff. you see to seek out 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 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 of the country with the support of the afghan people on the hasty withdraw the forces seen a significant amount of us and nato weaponry and equipment end up in taliban hands . this footage recently emerged on line from cobble showing an abundant headquarters of the international security assistance force, and nato led mission enough county studies. you can see stuff similarly smashed

that computers to pieces. they were apparently this destroying them to prevent sensitive data getting into the wrong hands. while in a recent interview with a b c, news, president biden admitted, he knew that because of kind of stunned, but said it was unavoidable for a lot of 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. the decision seems to cost by didn't home, his approval rating, sit and all time blow. kellum opening, spite 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 to 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 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 koval. 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 of galveston. instead, he blamed his 3 previous asses and against the ford. beside our troops with 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 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 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 abandon. 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 command 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 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. was politicians play the blame game of what's happened in recent days, offices the channel to a very good put the issue of the 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 trying to nation building and regime change. nation building, which were really, really crappy at the, 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 $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? you know, we've seen these heavy handed interventions by the u. s. and nato and western european countries like in libya and syria. and i've had, you know, disastrous consequences. so, one would hope this might 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 sufferings for the population of these countries who have to solve their own internal political problems. most international legal scholars have 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 shock blame in this situation and ultimately all falls back on the united states of america for the devastation that's being rotten. that country right now. the tele bands rapid return was greeted with celebrations in series. it'll province a hot bed of g. how this new the turkish border will go down well in washington? no, because that region is the base of the supposedly moderate opposition. it washington

has been told along us down of explains 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. but 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 who are talented and from the soil and 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 of 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 live, who have 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 their jihad. so men of syria trusting god, unify your ranks and hold up the taliban, is your example? and here in 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. some

of that opposition, so called moderate opposition needs to be part of a syrian political future after assad. and after the transition transition, the moderate opposition in syria is one that if we're ever going to have to have a political transition, we need news for a front, which is an al qaeda 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 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 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. okay, that wraps it up for they sound extensive coverage of events. enough gun assigned

to me 30 minutes for updates the the now we have e cigarettes. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to cigarettes. do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce these? these are making the tobacco tours and an expected upside of the pandemic kenya's experiencing in the elephant baby boom. 200. why does kenya have so many cars? and how has the panoramic impacted people's lives? there's a wall,

it's very big along in any fact he end up killing himself. i don't live on a leon and you go buy a car. well, and i will make the walls. i didn't mean to get i can let the 20 mean thing in it because i know that the when the money that the they didn't even notice whether the calls you don't know, but i know the company just because in order what it is

written, mr. mazel, this sort of thing when you said that, could you could was it it was going to show you where you didn't know where to put it into another molar. that's what you will cover for us to lead me to follow. because that's how much is a, b c meisner. although a lot nobody me on the is a sucker and you say, you know, you.
