to be the people with, with baseball, local journalists took us to around the capital on a ton of our rule and spoke with those who sees the city as well as those who are trying to escape. also several days that the call will see the capitol of a gun from fall into the fall of one. it seems that the sales is quite sharp that you are seeing you here. they're all clues, the bonds, the restaurant, the supermarket, get all crews. and if you see this region here, it's a complete the why 3? if you compare it with us before we do a month before, before the telephone capture, the cd, it was a very rock city or the area is in fact a very rough area of call. but no, it's very looking very why we will our majority this person does not make a model in a press kind of fraud, assured the people and cobbled that they are protected by the ton of on
3:04 pm
w w w. it's also said that it's not about leadership, but have all that to the fight as that they don't have permission to enter any houses or to any to search. i know how it is built they, they are not allowed to enter the house as our inquiry and the government people know i'm here in a checkpoint of a ton of money published. i'm booked with the commander of the check fine. that's how they can shorter security people and what they are saying, what did people call up? my name is the ra mancha child. i'm the manager had been a lot on the camera move. it has been 18 or 20 years that we've been in the mountains. now we captured capital city. i hope you are not set and we have not great of the problem for the capital people. now i see the shops and markets are closed. what's the message to the shopkeepers and owners of the market? look as i do want to good will given them freedom, they should come and open the shop. there is no problem for them. is the fight in
3:05 pm
finished and have denise that fighting has finished and again, this done, there is no g had anymore before this is gone. now we should come together and save our country. and this is one of the cobble international airport get lots of people are just gather here to get charles to get inside of the airport. quite a few. the security forces that don't you formation, anyone could get inside of the airport. now i'm going to interview with one of the guys who is waiting for long time. it does get, but did he couldn't find the chance to get inside of the airport. so how long have you been behind this gate? it's been around 3 days. there were people that stormed the airport with the certificate for an english course. people went with electricity bills, but those of us with the real documents couldn't get inside. i have my special immigrant visa, which has been accepted and approved, but i still can't get inside. getting, meanwhile, people are running in the streets to show their resistance to the taliban regime. this unverified video shows
3:06 pm
a man being assaulted by the taliban fighter for wearing an afghan national flag. it's not about members thought the civilian on the street took the flag off him and then hit him. in the face and cobbled crowds, marched through the streets, financing the takeover of the country. they've shown pedantic taliban slogans and carried joins african flags that had become a symbol of the signs. women also took part in the progress they remain among the most threatened in today's taliban and controlled. i've got to stop. as soon as to take i was 3 times in cobble was showing. women's faces had been painted over several shops and beauty. silence had also closed that doors out of fear or possible reprisals. some local, say, women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number down to come out. all that, despite the thought about earlier promise is the respect women's rights. it seems. many afghans don't have much confidence in those words. we don't want to go back 20 years,
3:07 pm
the youth force against us and broke our smart phones. and they told us that you can not freeze your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women be ashamed. we were forced to protest against them to show the world that to tell them government does not have any value. no, just for us, it has no legitimate world. let my colleague glory fish. i spoke to the mayor of cobble about the situation on the ground, explained how he managed to keep his job off the taliban took over. they are in touch with me. they called me and they informed me that i should continue my job for seems to thumb that the taliban is perhaps putting on a bit of a p. r. stand at the moment the taliban saying that they want women to have the opportunity perhaps to even get a job. busy it says women can perhaps even get an education a we have educated women, we have women who can provide services. we have women can,
3:08 pm
we can be part of the economy. therefore it's only logical for itala by government . our for any government to make sure that we take advantage of that issue of women has to be dealt with and the context of human rights. and islam, of course, within that context, there are freedoms. we cannot deny that from the women of upon us. do you think the lack of resistance, even the lack of blood spilled, suggests that actually strong support for the taliban within the country. there was a little bit of both for support for paula bon resentment of how things were managed to satisfaction among racket, rank, and file in the military executed forces to not to fight because they didn't want to fight or something unknown. the. everything was defined around individuals rather than systems. therefore the motivation to fight for a person or persons was not enough for the people to fight. therefore there was no
3:09 pm
bloodshed. thank god. do you think mister mayor? the people of cobble are going to accept taliban rule? both sides have to come to grips with reality and naturally follow, but will also have to come to grips with reality that are on a sunday not the same 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place, getting to the vote, the question itself, one german citizen was shot and wounded on his way that in while a ton of mine is now said to be carrying out house to house searches for people who oppose them during one of the medicines killed a family member of the of a deutsche. about a journalist who now works in germany just days ago, the medicine promised not to carry out. reprisals angela media operate as normal. i mean looks l. a german journalist i'm released textbook says she's not surprised. it's all about the promises didn't last long. the situation, you know, is completely elder ford. i think it's the transmission situation. and probably
3:10 pm
that slopes on the ground. i mean, the taliban fighters on their own who are going from door to door. do not really know what need to ship in cupboard and say, i think not the structure of the clear hierarchy on the situation is so unstable that these things can happen. and i'm afraid it will last for longer and, but at the same time we must remember that kind of done is we try the society and people follow different orders, you know, from that try and not really used to follow the order of leadership of the political leadership or military leadership, which is far away and at the same time as possible that people, central old bill, i mean the sounds may be a little bit cynical, but when you have a situation like you know enough, some this can happen. meanwhile, a former rule,
3:11 pm
maureen's commander, 3 to the picture of an empty flight leading cobble. he says it was taken by his wife who was on board. the image, which is so far and confirmed, went viral with people on twitter saying it's scandalous, given there are thousands of desperate people who could have been flown to safety. the u. k. ministry defense said the plain wasn't this. according to the exploration claim to taking off from cobble every hour, whether empty or full now americans evacuation also mind and control oversee the united states to shoot an alert last week saying about ration, flight throwing out a song, come of the $2000.00 price tag and it suddenly waves the fee. caleb open explains the utah bell. and originally flights were supposed to cost $2000.00 to leave afghan, a stan that applied to american citizens as well as foreigners. but now the state department has rolled back that price tag. they are now no longer making that
3:12 pm
charge. they say it is unique circumstances. however, many are saying this is simply a result of the outrage around the world and on social media. what americans have to pay to be vacuumed from gaston invited america. everything is free except in the variation from the terrorist written math, he can read it. i just verified this on the u. s. embassy of genesis website. the state department was in charge of civilian evacuations. they failed miserably and continued to fail when the dust settles. it's hard to see how secretary blinking should fill up a job when a birth not a dime of that makes its way to the us treasury. our entire government is reported out is scamarus, liars, and thieves. now the scenes that the cobble airport had been a huge source of embarrassment for the white house and their attempts to save face . amid that embarrassment and biden's dropping poll numbers. they haven't really gone over very well. here's the biden, basically rushing off such questions. in his recent interview,
3:13 pm
we've all seen the pictures. we've seen those hundreds of people packed into a c. 17. we've seen, afghans thought was 4 days ago, 5 days ago. just to help the us president, people were falling off of airplanes on monday, i want to warn the viewers. these are some rather disturbing images of what happened at the airport. but the u. s. a is not only investigating situations where people fell off of the airplanes, but also some human remains that were found inside one aeroplanes. so quite a disturbing situation there. now, the us ambassador to the united nations, she says that friends and allies are not falling off of planes. we are in the process of trying to get people out and our friends and allies are not hanging off of planes or friends and allies are getting the support of the u. s. government. now there are individuals falling off of planes who have been identified. one is
3:14 pm
a young afghan, who was a soccer player. the other is a doctor and both of them are reported to have died from falling off the plane. so these are not friends and allies than who exactly are there with us in the community. he's under the spotlight, off through some of the rapid taliban takeover. took it completely off god so bought and tried to explain it as follows. i got all kinds of cables, all kinds of advice. if you notice a range from this group saying that they didn't say fall when it would fall when it did fall. but saying that it would fall to other saying it wouldn't happen for a long time. and they'd be able to sustain themselves through the end of the year. although the intelligence community didn't warn about the ratings security situation, they hadn't reckoned with the pace, and the drug store shared general law many says and benefits will allow face far greater scrutiny. earlier. my colleague, neil harvey discussed with
3:15 pm
a former office of how this latest entails failure will impact washington square ability. those of us sure around for the vietnam have a strong attitude of do shot bull. when the u. s. army is at war. the civilian intelligence whose cache is independent analysis, doesn't matter. as matter of fact, it's sort of crushed. whether there are any people in the ca who correctly predicted what would happen now. i mean, it has to be, i mean, was a no brainer. i mean, once the head of sudden come general mackenzie said we are withdrawing all air support. he said that on the 14th of june, 3 weeks later, the air force and army leaves barbara air force base. what did they expect to happen? so in other words, if the civilian agencies piped up and said, you know that the taliban is just going to roll through, they would be disregarded. it's the us army. and it's milly, and it's of course,
3:16 pm
mackenzie who is head of said, who should be, should be a portion to blame for this. and the question that i have really, where they sewed on, how damaging is this for the by the administration. clearly the president would have gone along with this if he thought it was going to and of such an absolute pay or not math for him, but how, how much is this hurting him? oh, it will hurt him. it's a liminal event. i would say it's as important as 911. now the real danger of course, is that people will accuse biden, there is a prospect that the republicans could capitalize on this. because the major media will not be able to tell the truth about what happened to me this information and i've kind of son is also dominated the gender of learning a pushing. i'm going to michael who held folks in moscow today. we've agreed on the need for the international community to pose the resurgence of terrorism from janice 10, but with respect to another project. that of making sure that there is
3:17 pm
a united social stance of the good people for the future of their country that we have not achieved. and i have to admit this. you cannot impose from outside standards of political life and behavior on other countries and peoples paying no attention to the unique features of an ethnic or religious nature or the historical traditions of ghana. stan, be number one story in the news in the past few days. and also one of the main topics discussed by the heads of state of the german chancellor called the resurrection of baton band and of gannon stan as quote unquote, very disappointing. and also talked about how much she's concerned about the fate of western citizens that aren't currently struggling with the evacuation and also about the afghan citizens who were working to help the western coalition. their president cooking though, refrain from open the criticizing the taliban. and also this time fell short of
3:18 pm
criticizing washington for swift pull out. however, he did once again speak of again is stan as an example of how outside interference and also teaching lessons of democracy while ignoring the local traditions that leads to disasters. movement onto other highlights. anglo market was very keen to show to the media how much she pressured vladimir, poking on the jail term of kremlin critic electra the volley, who is currently serving a sentence for a criminal offense. now president who had quite a few things to say and response. and in particular, he said that those who commit criminal offenses should be punished regardless of whether they are opposite and activists or anti government bloggers. from our point to you, the sentencing of a scene of i need to chime in prison on the basis. the previous verdict is not acceptable. and european court for human rights has classified it a disproportionate and it talks to the russian president, i demanded the release of alex, hey,
3:19 pm
not me. and made it clear that will be following this case closely. if you look at western countries in europe, in the united states, i don't really see say the occupy wall street or yellow vest activists being supported in their attempts to enter a governing body, including the parliament. we don't see that happen. moreover, when people enter the us congress with political slogans following the us presidential election last year, over 100 criminal charges were brought against them. and judging by the nature of those challenges, they're looking at sentences anywhere from 50 to 25 years. or even more to be fully objective us to take note of this side as well. for lynn and moscow are gearing up for the launching of the nor stream to pipeline which is intended for direct natural gas deliveries from this country to germany's northern coast. this project had many enemies, including the u. s. and ukraine, when it comes to the crisis and the has the ability in east to ukraine. lot of our
3:20 pm
proven went on to criticize for attempts to introduce a new or what's going to the russian side. would the rail, the minsk agreements completely, but just to remind you both anglo merkel and of latimer potent are proponents of these very important agreement which as they believe are the only mechanism for peace and that part of ukraine. now what really makes friday summit in the kremlin outstanding is that the angular market was about to step down at the german chancellor and the 16 years of being in charge. the german government make her at the longest standing western needed to be constantly in touch with latimer potent during his own long career as the russian president. surely the relations between these 2 had their ups and downs, but they were always full of spect. then some of the highlights are already in the history books.
3:21 pm
ah, ah, well, we don't know each other well enough, but i'm amazed by her ability to listen. i use the in the condo, it is know that the russian president likes to drink german beer and sometimes there's a possibility that we can make exchange is coach. i've also gotten very good, smoked, that's just become angular from time to time. send the couple of bottles over rather burger i
3:22 pm
use . i know the us maybe busy dealing with a full time, but i stopped at finding time for one of my favorite pos funds slapping russians with more sanctions. on friday, the board ministration imposed sanctions on one russian ship and 2 companies involved in the construction of the north stream to pipeline. at the same time, the german company working on the project faces low sanctions. the pipeline will transfer natural gas from russia to germany and is almost complete. well, that's your life now to current jewel and republican strategies stand from the chief florida strategist in 2016. thanks so much for joining us at that. a mom grades happy in the program. what do you think is the the point here, the end game of imposing sanctions when the projects pretty much complete? yeah, it's a great question and i think it has
3:23 pm
a lot to do with the chaos that's evolving in afghanistan and elsewhere. this is, this is the only president of the united states who, within 6 or 7 months of taking office has created and is responsible for to humanitarian crisis, is one in our southern border and one in afghanistan and a national security crisis as well. and is just looking for an opportunity to blame others. he says the buck stops with him, but i think that's in a phrase that only harry s truman can actually truly claim. joe biden is about passing the bunk and he's about trying to take what's going on in afghanistan in our southern border and deflecting so if, if you see his foreign policy shifts,
3:24 pm
which are quite chaotic from supporting the international initiative with nato in afghanistan to, to supporting now the, the pipeline, the north stream pipeline and now doing a reversal with regard to sanction. it's, it's messy, it's chaotic, but it's, it's not uncommon with this particular president. and it's unfortunate because i don't like sitting here criticizing a us president over international foreign policy at all, but he deserves it. and given what else is going on in the wall right now, the seams of house income will have kind of on the crisis at the southern water. as you mentioned, various other climate devices, susan, around the world that you think this is, should be pretty low and the list approaches for the bottom ministration. again, given that this is pretty much done deal you would think so, and again it's, it's a matter of, of, of asking the right questions,
3:25 pm
who exactly is in charge when it comes to the biden harris administration, the fact that he is able to continuously change the course and or have disastrous results from, from policies that don't do well for him is reflected in his, his diminishing poll numbers, he is now under 50 percent here in the united states, where american citizens are just very confused as to what this, this president and this administration is. a doing whether it comes to vaccines and co bid, the southern border, afghanistan, and now with the sanctions on russia. just a little run. do you think this was going to affect us russian relations or do you think moscow is just going to brush this off given it's quite narrow scope. i think it's going to depend on whether or not the russian government really
3:26 pm
considers and find the bind. harris administration, credible. he has credibility credibility issues right now with his nato partners as well as other allies and friends around the world. and when you make agreements with other nations, including russia, you better stick to it. if you're constantly changing your mind, then how are you going to be relied upon on the national stage as being a partner that you can trust? turns you want to republican strategy. thanks so much for your time today here. not a national good tab in the program. it to be with you up next that so if you go and visionaries in just a few by which time we were turned in half an hour with the latest join us again, that the
3:27 pm
look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where the shorter does that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence real summoning the demon . a robot must protect its own existence with now we have e 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 these cigarettes or
3:28 pm
making the tobacco wars. once again, we've got ourselves into a quagmire. remember that where the popular work during the vietnam era and the afghan stan is yet another military quagmire. $2.00 trillion dollars. couple 1000 soldiers died. and for the same reasons there was no clearly stated mission. there was no incentive to win, right? because all contractors are getting fat and rich. so finally they just said to give up the ghost. the, the, the, the,
3:29 pm
the welcome to sophie visionaries, me sophie shepherd, nazi irish, total, sad. that time is the most unknown of unknown things done about its mystery. i'm joined by professor got a laurel valley theoretical physicist and best selling author, professor galloway li, theoretical physicist and best selling author. it's great to have you with us today . welcome to our show. thank you very much for having it. all right, so let's start with something blunt. you said there is no time in an objective sense of the term mean, correct me if i'm wrong and that time exists only in the i was beholder and depends on what is that i is where the beholder ease and what they're looking at. but we do feel and experience the passing of time, or the sense of something being after something. and here i am like, i don't know,
3:30 pm
grabbing a phone for instance, right. and putting down it was in my hand now. it isn't, isn't that time? yes, that is time the end. of course, there is time these time for us. we wake up in the morning, we go to sleep, time passes. we become older. that's real walk. well, when you say there is no time, what i mean is that there is no time in nature by itself in the fundamental level. let me make an example. if i see the sun, the does not mover. it still does not move. it does not mean that there is no sunset anymore. we still see the sun going up and going down and going up and going down. but we understand that it's not really the sun, which is moving. it's a complicated story between us and the sun. we are sitting on a on
