4:01 pm
my separate i was threatened. he had nothing places and a proctor just boy soup, not capitol hill, run to the police. is that why said unstable, i'm was upset quite from ah, making so you never miss the story. this is all the international as with life on the russian capital. and welcome public. well, getting off started, the taliban has declared recreational v islamic emerett of africanist on the same name they use for the country one they will last empower for days on from the taliban. the dramatic return that have been for scenes of chaos that couples main airport as people try to flee on wednesday, hundreds crowded it's barriers and senses. young children will have passed over people's heads. this desperate parents hope us gods would accept them and bring
4:02 pm
them to safety. gunfire has been heard coming from taliban checkpoints since sunday and he's 12. people had been killed him at the kale with the airport and thousands more. have been injured. reports suggest the u. s. military you've take asked to this past crowds, a mapping at the entrance. dozens of people within sitting on the ground with that possessions line all around. it's being confirmed that us troops did fire warning salt as quote, a crowd control measure. we were looking our number verified video showing i found women at the apple p thing with us god. and that some in the pentagon says it has to defend the ass yields, because thousands could overrun it, putting its schools at rest. america and other western countries prioritize the guessing that nationals outside the pentagon admit is facing difficulties. getting people back, we don't have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people.
4:03 pm
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
4:04 pm
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 officials. in the meantime, united nations security council has wrapped up possession devoted to issues of terrorism. and the threats it poses to stays off task hands on fund into the hands of the taliban. the situation in the country of high on the agenda among the speakers up the session was to boot muradi. and he served as t for presidential programs on to ask our president how many calls i. he made an impassioned plea for help. the hold most intervention to alert and mitigate, and a couple it take humanitarian tragedy. and to defend you and must overcome its usual
4:05 pm
approach by declaring your situation as engine you manage area and crisis. on to chapter 7, provision of the united nation charges. this should include serious and urgent deliberation, to declare carbonic as safe and protected by a un peacekeeping. missions this would love their opposing faction to come to an inclusive political settlement while working to mitigate the unfolding catastrophe . at the meeting of the 15 member body that leads the united nations. we heard dire warnings from the afghan and boy talking about the threat of terrorism. and how the situation and afghan, it's dan threatens the global community. now what was interesting is when we heard from the representative of the united states, it seemed like a very different message. the us representative did not play up concerns about the situation. and after janice dan, but seemed to kind of downplay the potential threat only reflecting on the
4:06 pm
possibility that if terrorists were to set up shop in afghanistan, this could somehow result in the plotting of terror attacks in the united states. a very interesting message, we will hold the taliban accountable for its commitments not to allow any terrors to threaten the united states or its allies from afghan soil. and as i said earlier this week, we all, we must all work together to ensure afghanistan cannot ever, ever again be a base for terrorism. folks will recall how the situation in cobble is kind of capturing the attention of the world. there is a number of people surrounding the airport begging for the opportunity to leave the country, fearing the taliban and their returns of power. but the united states is scrambling to evacuate its own personnel and its own citizens, let alone people in afghanistan who fear for their lives amid the return of the taliban, the u. s. department of defense, as admitted that it basically doesn't have
4:07 pm
a breakdown of who has been on the evacuation flight and that there they are, may be, it does not know. basically how many americans are still trapped in cobble. now, at the un security council, the message of the united states would seem to not really be concerned about the implications of their sudden withdrawal from afghanistan, and that the implications of the world that message did not go down so well with various international figures. here's some of what we heard criticizing the us approach. leaving the country abruptly after 20 years was that i did just consider the tragic events in september, the 11th 2001 and for the past 20 years of dentist and was full of american. the nato troops, military instructors and advises as officially declared goal, was to fight terrorism and to prepare african security forces to take part in this fight as well. tremendous human and financial resources were expanded on this. and what's the bottom line? once for an instruct isn't troops left all 20 years worth of efforts were nullified
4:08 pm
overnight. no one was willing able to fight for the values imposed by foreign powers. has a gun to stand seems to be a terrorist and brought threat? certainly not. but it's now up to the new ab going to authorities and the countries neighbors to deal with that. now the western troops of left the african people having to deal with an even bigger pile of problems, meeting wasn't solely devoted to afghanistan. it focused on the threat of terrorism around the world, and a lot of time at the meeting was devoted to discussing the continuous formation and presence of the ice hill terrorist group around the world. there was concern about the continuous bomb attacks and terrorism in different parts of the world. the attacks on civilians and military camps in african states. it was also touched on what would be done about the ice l foreign fighters who continue to be held in custody in syria and iran and iraq. how would they be dealt with? how would they be processed and dealt with. also there was some concern about the fate of children being held in detention camps with their parents. these children
4:09 pm
who are held and associated with ice hill. so that was the focus of the meeting. the focus was on the world situation, the threats of terrorism, a lot of different countries spoke up. that was the meeting of the un security council called who i put is still over crowded with people struggling to flee. and while the list of countries conducting rescue operations is long, the number of people who want to be managed to leave the small would be evacuated, facing a number of problems. one is up, the u. s. doesn't have enough troops to god the airport or provide security at taliban checkpoints. well, some countries have security doubts about taking refugees in and a more preoccupied with the return of their own citizens. the us has about to 8 to the largest number of national. so farm plans to rescue 22000 refugees of by the end of august as the u. k. u afford, she's had brought, brought back more than 300 british systems that over 2000 afghans. germany,
4:10 pm
which will san for only taking 7 people on its 1st payoff cobble, has now helped almost a 1000 peter all of a picks up a 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 calls the whole for 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 of canister 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 phone needs 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 or 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. well,
4:11 pm
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. both 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 are seeking refuge. austria has said that camps need to be set up in neighboring countries too off. 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,
4:12 pm
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 of that facilitated by smartness. instead, we should engage in legal, safe ways for people in need of international protections to come to your opinion. well, it's not just those people that have been referred to is illegal, irregular that are having issues at the moment. those that have right says it would
4:13 pm
be to get out of call blackboard on some of those planes are also at a loss how to do that. right now our colleagues, it off the german language system service, spoke to one german passport holder, one german citizen who told us his situation. and 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. 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 are situation like you're worse if they find out that my fiance is engaged or got married abroad once we arrive safely in germany, we'll of course have no more reason to fear for our lives. we live in a free and democratic country. that's where i want to return to. that's where i
4:14 pm
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. andre him co who stepped to cabin of the left parliamentary group in the been to stock, says the german government hasn't been entirely honest about the situation of kind of a lot of high procedure at the moment. in this situation, we have to fear is a complete disaster. what we are witnessing even and the beginning of this year, the government created the picture in our parliament that there is now a full democratic state enough time there is lively, civil society and all these nato involvement
4:15 pm
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 now. i think we should take and bring refugees who are in fear of life. but at the same time, i think it's necessary to really talk to the real power in afghanistan, the tale pans, to go to negotiations, to negotiations as well. concerning the refugees and not to break all diplomatic ties. test gathered in london on one se, condemning the you pay government's response to the event enough time on they called for those still stocks that we bought to britain as quickly as possible on
4:16 pm
the case for infectious facing calls to resign off to countertops as he walked with the british soldiers missed being waited from cobble. why? well dominic rob was too busy away on holiday to give the green light in time mas yet public mccauley. an african form, a judge who fled the country when the taliban 1st came to power and then moved k, told us how difficult it was to escape the militants. my job was not popping out with a dollar bond in 1998 from the home me my she became and my house and gabriel, our front door. i was hiding into the back door for 56 hours when the list and we decided she should be back in 2007 did try to can mean just on, on gave me over a car deal before this was done. most of the in my life and i missed my
4:17 pm
country, my job, my family, the age of 43 is not the 3 thing you make in your chief for me. and for my, you know, women activists and chemist on a do not change a lot of evidence against the telephone thing. now they're more dangerous than before, particularly upset the rapid fall off the west and back to government in cobble on the resurgence of the taliban. of british veterans and families who lost loved ones to the complex. well, some questioning if all those sacrifices were in vain accusing the u. s. and u. k. governments of watching the withdrawal. he spoke to the mother of full and precious soldier, showing benny who was killed in a fire fight with tut upon medicines. back in may 2009. he was 22, his mother, jeanette, and he told us about the emotions she's been feeling since sunday. a lot of i'm
4:18 pm
very on the outside 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 it worth i question not. and since sunday reflect are willing to think any of the months 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 co saved 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 cried that at the end of the d, her lace was given to try meet the country back to start the tile from being able to rule being able to cause head or any way of one 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 is true so rapidly between the key and america. then
4:19 pm
he explained why this is that? i mean, i personally would like an inquiry as to why that happens like us. women are among the most threatened groups in taliban controlled f. kindest on. since the takeover street in kabul showing women's faces have been painted over some local se, women have practically disappeared from the street with only a very small number. daring to come out, who has said and then john les to stranded and cobble, says he hasn't seen a single woman in his hotel since the tunnel took control of you. i live in the hotel in capital citizens and stuff because i can't leave the premises. the 1st thing i witness stopped writing and capital 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 had been watching recent events with horror. these are dark days tragedy that's causing a tremendous upheaval in society. don't forget that the taliban is talking about
4:20 pm
the inevitable creation of an emerald 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. 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 flips for the eyes, women, a very better 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 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 passion. so one time to life, that's what i've been told, and that's a drama. countries are busy getting the nationals out of afghanistan and russia is
4:21 pm
among them. it's empathy and called the estimates are up to $100.00 russians in the country. moscow says the town of bonds guaranteed the safety of washing plain countries also indicates it's ready to alliston town. refugees to any 3rd country willing to accept them. meanwhile, washes top to come out high school for inclusive dialogue in afghanistan. if she's sick, when the whole of afghan install was engulfed in the 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, we were in favor of a nationwide dialogue that will allow the formation of a representative government, which will then work out agreements on the final settlement, the country with the support of the afghan people. the world health organization says i found us on the need support when it comes to medical care and combating the pandemic it's regional director says the field reports indicate as such,
4:22 pm
included 1900 cases. afghanistan is one of the world's least vaccinated countries. now, in order to help such countries, a worldwide initiative called kofax was launched last year. it was designed to help poor countries to access jobs more easily and reliably without being at the mercy of donations. but the initiative appears not to be functioning as intended of the 2000000000 promise doses, any 10 percent have been delivered. the deadline is supposed to be early next year . kovacs officials say they are aware of the proper. however, kofax also sent over half a 1000000 doses to britain into a low country, one of the highest oxidation rates. that's 2 times more than old doses sent to the african continent that month of the wealthy nation, such as catherine, bahrain received jobs by direct paying kovacs, dr. moga mall jani from the people's vaccine alliance, says, rich nations care only about vaccinating the population. no, it's not acceptable. of course it's not acceptable. the whole idea of having kovacs
4:23 pm
as a global mechanism is that we don't have that dependence, that the vaccines are distributed fairly while of course, they're not callbacks when they started and decided to buy vaccines and distributed for the whole world rich and poor. and of course, but of course that the rich countries already even before i started doing that by not on data, pharmaceutical companies, unsecure millions and millions and millions of doses. so actually they don't need to get to get doses from corvette's bought. you know, they date of birth and got this more than half a $1000000.00 from canada gold some and then stopped and they really shouldn't. and yeah, under the companies, i'm just like and i think populations and ignoring the rest. so definitely not fat
4:24 pm
. i'm definitely mac and so far the same a bomb in washington, d. c. has ended with a suspect hanging himself in to the police. his threats triggered the evacuation of an hour in the capitol hill. police fuss sense trouble when they were allowed to twist suspicious vehicle parked near by. at around 9 in the morning, a black pickup truck pulled up to a pavement near the capital. the driver called the police himself and told officers he had a bomb in his vehicle. the driver, the truck told the responding officer on the scene that he had a bomb, and what appeared, the officer said, appeared to be a detonator. my negotiators are hard at work, the man was identified a 49 year old floyd re rose. pre, judging by his social media is a big donald trump supporter. he had reportedly committed a number of offences in the eighty's including last any one of us in d. c unfolded re re live stream himself from inside the truck indicating
4:25 pm
a barrel. he said was packed with explosives. the video has since been to meet his account, blocked on facebook during the stream. he talked of a coming revolution and said he wanted to speak to joe biden. on the phone, he claimed he had enough explosives to level the surrounding area. if police tried to shoot him, he also said he did not want to kill anybody, and that he wanted his ex wife back very please, ex wife told the media that he's long been mentally unstable and had told her the night before he was offered a fishing trip, she also said he was devastated by the 2020 election result in a video he posed to 3 years ago. he expresses his support for donald trump, ashes to ashes and dusted the players who listen. donald trump, carolina still be with us. in the true motive behind very breed bomb threat remains on clan though in his live stream. he did mention
4:26 pm
a dentist on earlier. i talked to senior. right. all right. and the boy mileage he was up to seattle washington for us. i was here when the capital police chief announced that he was taken in without a struggle without incident. they said that he had a criminal record in north carolina, but the capital police chiefs were nothing that serious and that he had his mother had recently passed way. the only other thing he mentioned there was no mention of politics. they said they would be clearing the scene for several hours, looking to make sure that the truck is actually safe. they had concerns about the propane tank in the back of it, which is danger center of the actual farm. how it's transpired, the he is a trump supporter. key thing capitol hill could have had a special significance for him given what happened on january the 6th, of course, it looked like he was berating some football players for kneeling, for the national anthem and losing the game. i mean, the trump support, 75000000 americans voted for trump in the last election. that's
4:27 pm
a pretty big barrel to stuff everybody in. i guess a lot look. so the prevailing attitude on that portion of the american political spectrum is that january 6th was at, at best a horrible mistake. and at worst a set up. i don't know if that's true or not, but that's what they believe. and so i don't think they would i'm not in his head. i don't know what motivated him. i can't really. this is a bad toward disclaimer. i can't really say what he did or didn't do, and we'll see if he has anything to say. but i don't think he sort of came back to the capital for any sort of special significance, especially since biden's not in d. c. biden's in delaware. and congress is our session. so there was literally nobody from the structures of power to pay attention to him. except for the police and the media. the incident caused to twitter argument about what motivated res free. once i'd immediately blamed his margaret and goldman causing the hashtag market terrorist to trend. but others claimed it was
4:28 pm
a full flag so that the incident had been stage the boy shot mileage again says government actions are pushing people to extreme. the polarization has become a much worse by the ministration has essentially said the criticizing the government as a sign of domestic care potential, domestic terrorism, corporate policies locked down mass mandates. a criticism of the pull out from if you understand these are all governmental opinions and anybody who holds them is a terrorist who needs to be 1st off of social media and so on and so forth. i wouldn't be surprised if this happened. you literally have a division straight down the middle of america, with a lot of people, a continuing to believe that the last election was illegitimate. when instead of trying to persuade them or, you know, tell them or try to make some sort of unifying gesture. the people empower basically going well, who cares? you will submit. that's up to this. i remember r t dot com. just a click away has got lots of stories waiting for you to check it out and have a great day.
4:30 pm
good mister moses when you will, could you go to google? i want you to do i see yeah, going to show you where you need to bring it in. the is the mother molar. that's what you will cover financing for us to lead me to follow my lease. you must not. although with a lot nobody me on there is a sucker on you and you say you forgot to tell me partially.
