the who's on fire and around the national airport in cobble more guns, trying desperately to flee the country trying to get in to the americans. they push me out. they kicked me out over the be in the district. yes. it seems that you failed to see if you quite sure that you're seeing here. they're all clues. a local journalist gives us a tool around cobbled to see how life is changed off of the taliban takeover. ah, it was your teeth and the life from moscow with me, daniel who came through the you are the nights. welcome through the progress of

crowds of destro. afghans was still messing around, cobbled forward in the hope of scraping to a new life away from the taliban. the gunfire can still be heard as people stampede in desperation. foreign troops on the ton of occasionally shot in the as it is 1st, the crowds. it's getting increasingly difficult to control with installation soldiers also find us into a crowd early on friday, so it's unclear from which country they were the. now in this video, you can see afghan soldiers, also station at the airport flooring blanks. they try to force people away from the entrance level being horribly treated spot all science. thank you for the

past 2 days, trying to know when to the americans. they pushed me out. they kicked me out german to be in the district. they did it just far as the demit you tried to go to the guy mom and that's fine with the god and everyone was going by. 2 here, like i know when i go to, to you guys in between the kids to do the kids you did like what do you look good for the americans? yeah. yeah. and it, you know, the americans, the germans, it to be the people would baseball, local journalists that took us on a tour around the capital under the taliban rule. and spoke with those who see the city is one of those who are trying to escape. it also several days that they call, we'll see if he's a capital off a gun to some fall into the tunnel, but it seems that the sales is quite the shop that you're seeing here. they're all clues, the bonds, the restaurant,

the supermarket did all cruise 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 or before the telephone capture, the city, it was a very rock city. it was a what these areas, in fact, the very russian area of call. but now it's very looking very why we will our majority. this person does not make a model in a press kind of frog i showed the people and call them that they are protected by the ton of on w w. it's also say that it's not about leadership. i have all that to the fighters that they don't have permission to enter any houses or to any to search. i know how i build they, they are not allowed to enter the house. has our inquiry on the government, people know i'm a year and a check point of a ton of money and public digit. i bring us with the commander of the check. fine. that's how they can. i showed you 3 people on what they are saying. what people call up, my name is above the rock mancha chime. i'm the major hit in the baseline,

the camera move, and it has been 18 or 20 years that we've been in the mountains. now we've captured capital city. i hope you are not set. and we have not great the problem for the terrible people. now i see the shops and markets are closed. what's your message to the shopkeepers and owners of the market? look as i do what a good will given them. freedom should come and open their shop. there is no problem for them. the fight in finished and again, fighting has finished and again, this done, there is no g had animals before. this is gone to her. now we should come together and save our country. this is one of the call international airport, get lots of people are just gather here to get charles to get inside of the airport . but it seems that 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 is good,

but 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 a 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 calls from men coming to the wheels of a u. s. military plane and a desperate attempt to flee a kindness. tom felt that death just moment self to take off from cobbles, main airport. and as he swore among hundreds, soon crowded at the recent days, frantically seeking a way out of the chaos. the bodies crushed out on the home of wally solich, who was with his family when they heard a tremendous thought on the roof. it was like a tire truck explode and he said upon discovering the cause of the noise, his wife fainted. both of a man had been younger than 31, had been a doctor of mine who tragically fell from the plane,

was lucky and warri 19 year old, full play on i've got on national youth team the u. s. a master to the, you know, friends of america are among those previously cleaning to the aircraft. we are in a 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 . i think her parents might have been on fire from the images that i see and i haven't been over there. but if those images are actor and they're not shooting a film, that lady might be lying. i mean, he got into play on his own will. so you got an a plane, you fall off on your own. right. and we'll distinction. so that's all in his on doing. and i was just when you see a stupid action that was regrettable, i believe he was alive. he was a, i was not doing that. i think pretty much anybody i was in couples, probably a friend of ours since they were working with our military. now we have a trade off gas and they betrayed our citizens. are still there. and allies that for, alongside us,

we should have put our young men and women and that situation and they turn around and leave the course you betrayed to be you go there with so many people helping us there. right. and then we just leave your on your own now, you know, you wouldn't do that to an enemy, let alone a friend and you know it's going to happen as soon as you leave there. so yeah, that's terrible. we don't do that. we didn't do that. and that's the reflection of leadership. local resistance forces mounted successful offensive against the taliban in the north of the country, claiming they managed to liberate 3 districts in the province of bergland. in this video, which we can't get verified, you can see a local militia celebrating their success by the national flag report. say these troops allied with going to stone, 1st vice president amolla sally, who's claimed leadership among the calles he and other come on as a report only also must drink troops in the eastern pantry, a province in a bit to resist taliban rule. now ordinary people also showing resistance the taliban regime as they march through the streets of cobbled denouncing the takeover

. show it again to taliban slogans and carrying the tricolor. i've got national flag which has become a symbol of defiance. protest is included women among those most threatened by the taliban fundamentalist room. since the mistake over st at bert showing women's faces in the capital have been painted over a numerous shops and beauty, silence of clothes, out of fear of reprisals. some local say women of practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small love, but daring to leave their homes. all that despite the taliban earlier promised to the respect women's rights, it seems. many afghans don't have much confidence in those worth. we don't want to go back 20 years. they used force against us and broke our smart phones. and they told us that you cannot raise 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 to tell them government does not have any value. no, just for us. it has no legitimacy. the world. well listen, verified video shows a man being assaulted by taliban fighter for wearing an afghan national flag. the taliban members thoughtlessly on the streets, not seeing the flag off him before hitting him in the face. earlier, my colleague, rory sou shay, talked to the mayor of cobble about the situation. he explained how he managed to keep his job after the taliban take they are in touch with me. they called me and they informed me that i should continue my job or 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. we have educated women, we have women who can provide services. we have women can,

we can be part of the economy. therefore, it's only logical for itala bond government our for any government to make sure that we take advantage of that the 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 punishment. 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 and security 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 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 the sun is not the same 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place or even getting to the air force is a quest in itself. one german citizen was shot and wounded on his way there in while a ton of man is now said to be carrying out house. the house searches for people who oppose them. during one, the medicines killed a family member of a deutsch savannah journalist, who's now working in germany just days ago. the medicines promised not to carry out reprisals and let media operate as normal. aaron luke felt a german journalist on middle east experts said she's not surprised the talents promises didn't last long. the situation now is completely out

of order. i think it's the transition situation. and probably that suits 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 to 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 order, 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, several old bill, i mean the sounds may be a little bit cynical. but when you have

a situation like this is now enough, gone to some this can happen. meanwhile, a full rule marines come on, those $33.00 picture were an empty flight leaving campbell. he said it was taken by his wife. he was on board the image, which is so foreign confirmed, went viral with people. and with a saying is scandalous, given. there are hundreds of thousands of people who could have been flown to safety. the u. k. ministry of defense said the plane was not less according to the ex marine planes taking off from cobble every hour with an empty or full now the us intelligence communities unbiased spotlight offered so much the rapid taliban takeover tickets completely off guard, survived and tried to explain it as follows. i've 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. for that intelligence community data was about this year rating security situation. they hadn't reckoned with the shift pace of the taliban. the vans joined youth assaults . chairman general macmillan says intelligence assessment will help a far greater scrutiny. my colleague neal harvey discussed the form of how this latest entail failure will impact washington, the credibility. so those of us should around for vietnam have a strong attitude to do both. when the us army is at war, the civilian intelligence whose cache is independence analysis, doesn't matter. as matter of fact, it's super crash. whether there are any people in the ca who correctly predicted what would happen now. i mean, it has to be, i mean, it was a no brainer. i mean, once the head of sudden come general mackenzie said we are with drawing all err

support. he said that on the 14th of june, 3 weeks later, the air force and army leaves barbara airport space. what did they expect to happen? so in other words, if the civilian agents change 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, 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 are they so dumb? how damaging is this for the by the ministration? 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 of 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 the 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 now on fridays or avoiding gave an address. i also feel a journalist questions regarding the situation and i've got to saw on the decisions washington i've taken in the run up to the fall of cobble last sunday. the full mouth and criticism for all sides spied and tried to put a brave face in it and missing though. still a lot of uncertainty armed forces and it's being conducted on a difficult circus. it involves risks to our forces and it's being conducted under difficult circumstances. i cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or biden. he essentially used his address to try and divert attention away from what were obvious shortcomings and lapses in judgment that led to the taliban. serge over the weekend now biden did try to sell the ongoing evacuation as if it is some sort of success. now, there is a situation as we understand where there are

a number of american citizens that are still stuck in cobble. now it's also important to note that, you know, mainstream media has been quite critical of joe biden, on this certain networks that tend to lean towards the democratic party and their coverage of launched scathing attacks on biden and how he handled the situation. secretary blink, and how did president biden get this so wrong? how could officials have this fits? how did it happen? how do we get here? does present advice, not bear the blame for this disastrous exit from afghanistan? now in his speech biden admitted that the administration thought up until the very last moments that the afghan forces would not collapse so quickly that the taliban would not be able to surge ahead so quickly. and it's also important to note when he was speaking, he seemed to indicate that it was not the time for criticism. the can overwhelming consensus was that they this was not where they were not going to collapse the

afghan forces. they were not going to leave. and we're not going to just abandon and then put down their arms and take off to be plenty of time to criticize a 2nd guess opperation is over. but now, now i'm focused on getting this job done. now, seeing as this was a joint nato alliance that was operating in afghanistan, the hasty pull out has put that nato alliance once again into question. in europe, there are some that are beginning to call into question america's leadership of the nato coalition. know we have not heard any like overt, straightforward criticism. some tropes have been found in the media lately and in the public domain. it's a remarkable change in tone because up until then biden had been viewed as the opposite of donald. trump has more reliable and trustworthy by the nato allies. however, there seems to be rising disillusionment among nato allies. and joe biden,

though, says this is not something he's concerned about. i see no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. i've spoken with our nato allies. we've spoken with nato allies, the secretary state, or national security via he's been in contact with his counterparts throughout the world. and our allies, as has the general or excuse me, i keep calling them in general, but my defense, the fact of the matter is i have not seen that matter. fact the exact opposite i've got. now donald trump has said that this is the greatest strategic error in us history. he called it capitulation. donald trump has said that joe biden owes america an apology. the world is now looking on and watching the scenes in cobble. the white house is certainly under quite a bit of fire. jo biden's, whole numbers are dropping many or looking on the situation and afghan as dan and saying that the united states seems to have pretty much dropped. the ball here of

british model has been shamed online for placing a photo in which she is wearing a book or was photo promo for a new book on environmental and societal changes. model activists lady called posted these 2 pages on instagram, that she later deleted one feature, her in a book, covering her face and body, and the other revealing her face beneath. in the comment, she said she was embracing diversity on every level. well the post came was cobble, fell to the taliban with african women actively speaking out about fears. their hard for rights will be stripped away. a number of posts trying to use the model, pointing out the taliban forces were meant to wear a bucket. and african women have no choice but to live under the islamist rule. a call later apologize saying she wasn't aware of the events unfolding and i've got to start because she wasn't following the news. she added that she was heart broken on what happens and she was now looking for ways to help guide women. we spoke to

the saudi meat from women's rights group, cross racial sisters, anti virus, the t, v commentator rebecca butler about the issue and had their thoughts about women facing restrictions enough going on under the tell about it says vacuous, self promoting behavior on the part of lily coal, when she did this to promote her book, general public is solely fed up of the paid under qualified individuals. that she signaling, particularly when they don't fully appreciate the token of what they're doing. it's not feminism, it's not diversity. the bercher is the symbol of oppression, a context. so of issue i was raised in a very conservative community, so i would see it as something that's very, very oppressive. but i also don't expect anybody that hasn't been raised in that community to understand some ignorance is genuinely innocent. why would i expect to

understand what is going on within those communities? and i think it doesn't help me have hysteria on either side about the taliban saying they will respect women within the confines of islamic law equals not respecting women's rights that he's being zoomed across the world that it is okay to repress women ago with the men or okay, women and children are going to be left behind. ready. we're seeing the impact about women crying out for muslim. nissan already put in prison and i have never been pushed out of that job. we're already seeing that i am pretty worried. well, the situation and i've got to start also dominated the gender of letting me put in an anglo marker, was they held folks in moscow on friday. 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 a united social stance of the gun 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 and 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 the taliban in afghanistan as quote, unquote, very disappointing. and also talked about how much she's concerned about the fate of western citizens that are 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 one fell short of criticizing washington for swift pull out. however, he did once again speak of again is stand as an example of how outside interference and also teaching lessons of democracy while ignoring the local traditions that leads to disasters. moving on to other highlights, angela, marco was very keen to show to the media how much she pressured vladimir, poking on the jail term of kremlin critic, alexia 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 an 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, not. and made it clear that will be following this case closely. if you look at western countries in europe or in the united states, i don't really see say the occupy wall street are yellow invest activists being supported in their attempts to and to governing bodies, including the parliament. we don't see that happen. moreover, when people entered the u. s. congress with political slogans following the us presidential election last year, over $100.00 criminal charges were brought against them. and judging by the nature of those challenges, they're looking at sentences anywhere from 15 to 25 years. or even more to be fully objective us to take note of this side as well. berlin 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 hostilities in

east ukraine, lot of our proven went on to criticize for attempts to introduce a new or what's going to the rushing 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 agreements, 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 anglo 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 a lot of our 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. ah, ah, well, we don't know each other well enough, but i'm amazed by her ability to listen. i use 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 of coach. i've also gotten very good, smoked. that's just become angular from time to time. send a couple of bottles over rather burger been i

ah, us maybe busy dealing with the full lot of i've got to stop it from finding time for one of its favorite activities, slapping more sanctions on russia. on friday, the bottom ministration imposed sanctions against the russian ship and 2 companies involved in constructing the north stream to pipeline. however, the german company working on the project faces no sanctions. the pop ronald transfer natural gas from russia to germany and is almost complete. discuss these new measures with republican strategies. karen jonah, who says there an attempt by barton to shift attention away from his own political challenges. i think it has 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. so if, if you see his foreign policy chefs, which are quite chaotic from supporting the international initiatives with nato and afghan a to, to support it now the, the pipeline, the north stream pipeline. and now doing a reversal with regard to sanctions, 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 u. s. president over international foreign policy at all. but he deserves it up

next to commentary, takes a closer look at the tobacco industry and its promotion of electronic products despite a parent health risk. that's it from the team and myself showing thomas who will be in the hot seat next hour to take you through the nights. global headlines to join us again. jo naulty, international oh, once again, we got ourselves into a quagmire. member that more popular work during the vietnam era. and afghanistan is yet another military quagmire. $2.00 trillion dollars. couple of 1000 soldiers died. and for the same reason, there was no clearly stated mission. there was no incentive to win, right? because all the contractors are getting fat rich and so finally they just had to give up the ghost.
