the headline is that all teens nationally chaos cobble therefore the weak, whose the taliban swept with power. and i've got to start thousands of phil desperately trying to think the country through the only ad corridor available spot, the devastating of drugs of the medicine surveys, resistance through the intimate group with groups testing, the takeover. can women even took the screen, fearing for the future, then you receive that they also put out by the western coalition also leads generous gifts for the insurgents, including advanced weaponry for microsoft vehicles and even biometric identification system. ah,

life from moscow, thanks for joining us on the weekly or 19th national this morning on. daniel hawkins. welcome to the program. at the time i was sweeping offensive through, gonna start to seize power has dominated our news line throughout the week. thousands of people are still stuck cobbled for trying to flee the country. the scenes of stampedes and crowds have been coming in through the 1st day, the militant group and out the total control over the country. all vote opposed to now run by the insurgents. the heavily defended airport in cobble remains the only place out of the reach. and the only way to leave the country. on saturday, the pentagon said some 17000 people have been lifted out this week,

including around 2 and a half 1000 americans. on the same day, the u. s. embassy and cobble issued an alert for citizens to avoid the f was unless there was specific instructions from the american government to go there. he goes done off breaks down the last 7 days that the guy got those main transport hub warning. you may find some of the upcoming content disturbing the past few days have been an ultimate exercise in white washing for the white house. the beverly collapse of ghana is done following the us with drool happened as people were being shot, desperate of gunny scaling jets some even tragically falling off the shaggy to their deaths. and as of a q a to in chief biden searched for excuses, and he initially went for the statue of limitations defense. we've all seen the pictures. we've seen those hundreds of people packed into a c 17. we've seen afghans falling. there was 4 days ago, 5 days ago,

it was actually 2, but that's not really the point to anyway. it was the fact that service dogs booted planes and flew to freedom while crowds fought for axis on the runway below. and the us ambassador to the un didn't seem to mind. we are in a process of trying to get people out and our friends and allies are not hanging off of planes. there aren't many things that can make a loving parent to give away their infant child to complete strangers in military uniform. yet this option turned out to be preferable to having the baby learn 1st steps under the taliban. i've then women took the groups, promises to treat them fairly with a huge pinch of salt too. but to take them is a tool order even for american nationals who were beaten and rude to the couple. airports. contrary to jo biden's claims, we have no indication that they haven't been able to get income through the airport

. we've made an agreement with the, with the tale bonds as far they've allowed them to go through it and they're interested in that go through. so we know of no circumstance where american citizens are carrying an american passport are trying to get through to the airport . we are aware that some people, including americans have been harassed and even hidden by the taliban. this is unacceptable and we made it clear to their designated tell a bun leader, but joe biden is far from the only person taking the flack when i'm going to stand collapse to us. vice president campbell harris went abruptly silent that despite previously heralding herself as one of the look of motives before the pull out to date, this is her only comment on the evacuation chaos. we are closely monitoring the situation in afghanistan. oh, priorities to continue evacuating us citizens, special immigrant visas applicants and vulnerable guns out of the country. the german authorities are scorched for evacuating beer before local staffers,

who risked their lives working for their military and up to that relatives of a do. each of villa correspondents have been killed by the hardliners as they are right now trying to find the reporter himself, chancellor angle americo had to openly admit that the african nation billing experiment was a mistake. i just didn't succeed and current accomplished as we had planned. the realization and the bitter one is terrifying for the millions of afghans who supported the more free society and who with the support of western states. strong for democracy, dictation and women's rights, and made important progress. prisons, foreign secretary use edge to step down. as the media alleged, he did not help. african interpreters for the u. k. army escaped the country before the taliban takeover and possible revenge attacks. and all of this is happened with

smallest scandal. like the possibility that the evacuation might not be free for americans. and amid all of this, it appears the u. s. leadership still does not have a single clue how to contain the fall out of this disastrous withdrawal. i cannot promise with the final outcome will be we don't have the capability and collect of large numbers of people. 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, 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 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 on every one, however, is lucky enough to get a seat on an evacuation flight, we heard from a german national, who's currently stuck in the country with his afghan fiance. 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. we hope to leave the country as soon as possible on one

of the evacuation charter flights. of course we're very worried about what's going on. we haven't gone out since the day before yesterday since the taliban setup 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 belong. i'm calling on the government and the german foreign ministry to let us finish all the paperwork in germany. we have the originals of all of our documents in our hands. let us finally leave this caliphate. give me and my fiance permission to enter germany. thousands of coalition soldiers lost their lives in a 20 year conflict, and i'm going to start and particularly upset at the rapids fall of the western back government in kabul. and the resurgence of taliban british veterans and families whose loved ones lost their lives was some questioning if all those

sacrifices weren't vain accusing the us and u. k. governments of boxing the withdrawal. we spoke to the mother of full a british soldier, sean binnie. it was killed in a fight with taliban militants back in may 2009. he was just 22 years old. his mother janet benito, less about the emotions he has been feeling since last sunday. a lot of i'm very on the outside. able to do that, that they've been able to come in and do what they have enabled to do. a lot of people are asking, you know, was it worse? i question now and since sunday, reflect joyful and don't think any of the mums and families that have lost loved ones. i have really been able to comprehend best. i know that when my son was told he was killed, saved, and women and children, and the man 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 has late was given to try meet this country back to

start the child from being able to rule the neighbor 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 looted to me, need to explain why the why that is true so rapidly between the key and america beneath. explain why this is that mean? i personally would like an inquiry into why that happens like this. when the face of the overwhelming offense, her father's life, some people have been running across the country to show that resistance to the side of the regime in couple crowds marched through the streets denouncing the takeover of the country. they chanted and the taliban slogans and carried off can flags that have become a symbol of defiance. but this unverified video was to show a ton of on fire as seizing afghan flag from van in the street before hitting him in the face. women also took part in the process. it

feared there among the most threatened. in today's thought about control, i've got to start who's to take over 3 tried votes in cobble showing women's faces have been painted over several shops and beauty thought on. i've also closed their doors out of fear of possible reprisals. some local say we want to practically disappeared from the streets. we are only a very small number. daring to come out all that the spot. the taliban is promising to respect women's rights. seem as many afghans don't have confidence in those words. we don't want to go back 20 years. they used force against us and broke our smartphone. and they told us that you can not freeze your flag. they told us, go and sit at home, your women, be ashamed of the one who fools to protest against them to show the world that the taliban government

does not have any value. not just for us, it has no legitimacy in the world. my colleague, rory sushi, i spoke to the mayor of called ball about the situation on the ground. they are in touch with me. they called me and they informed me that they should continue. my job seems to thumb that the taliban is perhaps putting on a bit of a p. r stunt at the moment the taliban saying that they want women to have the opportunity perhaps to even get a job. 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 who 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. them,

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 fall upon resentment of how things were managed. this satisfaction among rocket rank and file in the ministry 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 tolerable will also have to come to grips with reality that up on the sun is not the same as 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place. was part of

a drive to promote a more moderately means the thought of and also reporter leaving, urging, willing to join the government. and after the fall of cobble, a ton of an official sat with a female present for an interview with hollow news and afghan tv station are going to be hobby, discuss the future of press freedoms in the country with sod. most any is a chairman and chief executive of a group which overseas follow news on the title of trying to win hearts and minds. they're trying to convince the political establishment people outside the taliban movement to join and support the taliban movement that are trying to secure international support. so i think it's a bit early. it's a bit too early to judge as to what the long term intentions are. there will be a transitional government know that they may be more restrictive and eventually they'll be an emerett at the top on have their way. so long ways to go before we

can say that they're receptive to women on television or to equal opportunity for the last garrison. how do you feel about freedom of speech? enough canister. the moment you kind of optimistic may be feared the worst when the taliban came into power. but how are you feeling at the moment? i'm feeling neither. i think it's too early and we have to assume that they have changed for good. a freedom of speech is not just reporting on facts. i mean they, they believed that gods on their side. and then the holy koran is the constitution and then they can never be challenged in time. they will need to be need to get channels and we'll see how much capacity they have for criticism when that happens too, too, too early. and we have months and months ahead of us to see if they actually their, their actions match the words. it's understandable. we've seen an awful lot of people fleeing the heading for the airport. it's been tragic at times,

watching the people that tends to get out. have you had any of your stops saying look, you know, we just not comfortable with this. we want to go. yes we have and there are many who want to stay on and continue to work and some who wish to get that. i mean what the taliban do in the, in the coming weeks will determine what people do in the years. i had this, this of this, this middle class, this youth was, you know, 60 percent off kind of kind of under the age of 20. and they can, they can make or break the country. and if they leave, we lose our educated class. so really it's up to the taliban in terms of how they behave and their behavior is going to impact what people do in the months ahead. well, taliban has now got access to a high tech weapons asked for worth billions of dollars originally gifted by the americans to the afghan army. the us national security adviser on some questions about the arms that i've been left behind. those black hawks were given to the

taller one they were given to the african national security forces to be able to defend themselves. we don't have a complete picture, obviously of where every article of defense materials has gone. but certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the taliban. and obviously we don't have a sense that they are going to readily handed over to us at the airport. in footage that come to light throughout the week, taliban fighters have been seen parading around cobbles showing off their new american made rifles and humbly washington. instead, attempting to estimate the amount of weaponry and technology that fall into the hands of the group is an idea of the sheer scale involved, the the

the the wealthiest country in the history of the world. and yet we have the higher trial poverty rate, but almost any country on earth. well, to add insult to injury that sort of, i was also taking advantage of a photo opportunity. special come on or you didn't created an iconic world war 2 photo of soldiers raising the american flag. a comedian jimmy door has some advice warranted on how to avoid such medications. he shared it with shandra tansy on us. he's going underground. you want a u. s. intervention a military intervention,

tell me about which country you want the u. s. intervening. and i think it's about, i mean, because a lot of people are saying we need to stay in afghanistan to help the women. i say, how about united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homes, people in los angeles. how about we invade the inner cities of america, and we bring health care to those people? we bring shelter to those people. we bring medicine to those people. we bring counseling to those people. how about we invade america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america going to care about the women? and, you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. so if you want to help people, why don't you give women and children want to give women a living wage in the united states? give them health care and give them an education. ironically, that's what the government up gamma ended up until we invented the taliban. if you

took, so there's 600000 according to statistics or 600000 homeless people in america. lot of those are women. lot of those are children. now if you gave them each a $1000.00 stipend a month, a $1000.00 a month to go get housing. that would cost $7200000000.00 a year. 7.2000000000. you know, we've been spending 2 trillion dollars or the last 20 years, 300000000 dollars a day to kill people and get it then. so the united states ever really cared about women. they could spend a $7200000000.00 to do or take care of the homeless people in the united states. give them a 1000 that they won't do it. so yes, joe biden, nancy pelosi jobs humor. mitch mcconnell, all the leaders and both parties, they know that they're, that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers, and they don't care. the meanwhile, a ton of bands,

political leader and cool co founder abdulla gunny brother has not returned from mac. so affiliated media showed him being greeted by cheering crowds getting off the plane. and kendra ha, barbara, who was arrested by pakistani security forces in 2010 and kept in custody for years, is expected by some to become the next leader up kind of on one another taliban kamala, who was seen on sunday storming the presidential palace and the capital so not to be a form, a detainee, the notorious guantanamo by prison camp or to meet you power takes a closer look at tapes. his and other similar cases if the situation and i guess that wasn't already a disaster showcasing the shortcomings of us foreign policy and appetite for regime change. well, it turns out one of the taliban leaders who gave a celebratory speech from couples, presidential palace was none other than a former guantanamo detainees who was released as

a quote medium risk. guess seriously, of all the people, the u. s. tortured in guantanamo. this was one of the guys deems thought, really dangerous, and let go meet goal am roo honey. one of the 1st detainees at guantanamo in 2002. he was captured by us forces on suspicion of being a taliban security officer during his time and get more money maintain that he was quote, a simple shopkeeper who tried to help americans. so some 5 years later or 8. according to ronnie he was released on the promise that he just wanted to help is sick father won an appliance store and couple fast forward to 2021 and he's a taliban commander, leading the takeover of cool. so either the u. s. intelligence was, well not really intelligent and let a taliban radical pull one over them and lie his way out of the hands of the ca, or it was the time to spend and get mo, that actually radicalized the simple shopkeeper into

a taliban fanatic. don't matter if a detainee were innocent. indeed, because he lived and they've got to stop and was captured on or near the battle area, he must know something of importance. well, apparently all the torture and human rights violations that get mall, and other us detention centers turned out to be all for nothing. sure, they apparently got some good and fell out of some of the detainees. but on the other hand, the ones that they let go went on to became terrorist leaders. yeah, ronnie isn't the only detain eastern terrorist boss. there's a whole list there is the 5 taliban leaders that obama swapped for an american desert, or these leaders were promised to never see a battlefield again. and that they would be held in guitar far from again, san, regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american soldier back if you seldom kept it period full stop yet somehow they're now

apparently the masterminds behind the current take over a couple, one of them is even a part of the official delegation of the taliban. he even took part in negotiating the u. s. withdrawal from janice then earlier this year. we'll see then there are the isis super terrorists, for example, leap in from us all, but daddy, the former leader of isis, he was captured in 2004, held in detention at a u. s. facility in iraq for 10 months. let go and went on to have a successful career and terrorism becoming the head honcho of the big bad, isis. he was a street thug. when we picked him up in 2004, it's hard to imagine we could about a crystal ball, then that would tell us he'd become head of isis. yeah. if only you could have seen that coming anyway. and then there's this guy who was a valuable inform and during his time, at the hands of us intelligence out, that was the song. but if you meet talent inability and now he's no less than the current leader of isis,

replacing all. but daddy turns out he was just using the us to get rid of the competition for the top spot amongst terrorists, another big wolf's, this is kind of beginning to seem like a trend. now, basically, not only did the us fail to recognize dangerous radicals when they were right there their hands, they apparently even managed to embolden and help radicalized people who probably wouldn't have posed any threat if it weren't for having an encounter with some american intelligence officers. in the end, america seems to be fighting problems itself created and so many that doesn't even come as a shock. we do know that more than 90 percent of all the people rounded up and taken to guantanamo and tortured and held him solitary and held under terrible conditions for years. us had absolutely no evidence on or the evidence was completely mistaken undistorted. and that torture is really real and it is created oceans and oceans of hate and biography, base biography, air force base,

there was major prison there where that held thousands of prisoners for years. that creates great hatred among anyone who's ever been through a system like that or their family members. and it is why the government finally completely collapsed. we call from the collapse of the country. questions being asked as to how the, what a crypt african army was. so easily up the side, we discussed the issue with the panel of gas. so despite all of america's fire power, despite all of america's allies, united states was really doomed from the very beginning. did i think, did not understand what it was getting involved in united states culturally, was so ignorant of conditions inside afghanistan, that we thought the war and the completely inept way from the beginning. this is the military and the history of

a half the planet. i don't think any quality company should ever, ever again, work with america. this is heard. 3, just you don't need to have ability main to understand, but you need to remove your staff from an embassy and to secure a b s. and then leave the countries, but to do it backwards is completely in unheard of. it's been, has been for so it, it feels if someone has, has dullness with no knowledge whatsoever of the area. a large number of african only people, especially outside the cities, are sick and tired of war instability and insecurity. the corruption of the outgoing western support, the government is not even, it's not actually welcoming taliban, or perhaps in a mindset that it can't be worse than the previous incumbents that were backed by the western powers. and without those factors in place, this rapid advance could not have taken place. you've got some corrupt warlords, and you've got to corrupt government officials and business men who have their own

pockets effectively stolen. the money that was supposed to go to supplies for the military and the supposed to go direct reconstruction programs to help the afghan people who are they going to fight for. they didn't believe in many of the leaders in the military who were also stealing. and they didn't believe in the government, which was in very, very corrupt. this was not planned. strategically has went wrong. italy think this has made america as strategic foreign policy completely irrelevant. and it's, it's just sad. it's just, i've been sorry for the civilians left behind. i'd be sorry for the afghan people, it just seems pointless. the whole are being a waste of time. up next commentary presents a crash course on the collapse of the soviet union examining the key moments and figures behind the collapse the world's most relation. back in half an hour, the latest join us again that me

the americans love by an armed ah, this would have funded middle part of how our political leadership and our country, a large understood the bargain. you get a whole and then you will rebel, right. as the things you don't revolt, if you have a stake in the system, be really interesting to dial back and think about a longer, deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for the

the new britain, mr. mazel, this sort of thing. when you said that, could you put it up to google or what you would have to do? i see you going to show you so you didn't numbers to bring it in. there is another molar. that's what you will cover just a little i don't know if i use them in your voice to follow

my.
