some even tragically falling off the chassis to their deaths. and as a curator 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. 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 came 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
6:04 am
steps under the taliban. i've been, women, took the groups, promises to treat them fairly with a huge pinch of salt to me. 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 in trouble through the airport. we've made an agreement with the, with the taliban as far they've allowed them to go through it and they're interested in a 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 beaten by the taliban. this is unacceptable. and we made it clear to their designated teller bun leader by joe biden, is far from the only person taking the flak. when of gaston collapse to us, vice president campbell harris went abruptly silent. that despite previously
6:05 am
heralding herself has one of the look of motives before the pull out to date, this is her only comment on the evacuation chaos were 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 bare before local staffers who risked their lives working for their military. and after that, relatives of a do, each of villa correspondents have been killed by the hardliners as they are right now trying to fight the reporter himself, chancellor angle americo had to openly admit that the african nation billing experiment was a mistake. i didn't succeed and weren't accomplished as we had planned. the realization on the middle one is terrifying for the millions of afghans who
6:06 am
supported the more free society and who, with the support of what they strove for democracy, cation and women's rights, and made important progress. prisons, foreign secretary use edge to step down. as the media alleged, he did not help. going 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 scandals 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 to go out 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,
6:07 am
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 of the us 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. however, not everyone wants luck enough to get a feed on an evacuation flight. we heard from a german national,
6:08 am
his current stock in the country with his african 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. and 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 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 our situation might be worse. if they find out that my fiance is engaged or married abroad once we arrived 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
6:09 am
in our hands. let us finally leave this caliphate. give me my fiance permission to enter germany. while confusion reigns on the port in the city of cobbled daily life has ground to a halt. a local john. this took us in a tool of the africa and capital also several days that they call, we'll see the capital of a gun at some fall into the tunnel. and it seems that the sales is quite sharp that you are seeing you here. they're all clues, debunk 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 or before the telephone capture, the city, it was a very rock city. it was the use area is 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
6:10 am
a press kind of fraud. i told the people and call them that they are protected by the ton of on w. w number is also said that this, i'm thinking about leadership. i have all the to the fight as that they don't have permission to enter the house or to any to search. i know how it is. i did both, they, they are not allowed to enter the house has our inquiry on the government. people know i'm here in the check point of a ton of money in public. i bring us with the commander of the check point. that's how they can assure the security people and what they are saying. what people call about my name is above the rock mancha chime. i'm the major hit in the land, 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're not set and we have not great the problem for the capital 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 they should common, opened their shop. there is no problem for them. the fight in finished and again,
6:11 am
fighting has finished and have gone this done. there is no g had before this have gone to her. now we should come together and save our country. this is one of the couple international airport get lots of people just got here to get charles to get inside of the airport. quite a few of the security forces that they don't give permission, anyone to 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 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 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 in sight getting caught in the face of overwhelming offensive
6:12 am
by d. s. m. s. some afghan people have been riding across the country to show their resistance to the taliban regime. in cobble for example, crowds mock through the streets denouncing the takeover of the country. they chanted anti taliban, so guns and carried scan flags that have become a symbol of defiance. well, this right hits and i'm verified to the job porting, to show a telephone fight to seizing afghan flags from a man in the street than slapping him in the face. women also took part in the protests that fed they are among the most threatened in today's taliban controlled afghanistan. since the takeover street on the votes in kabul, showing women's faces have been painted over several shops and beauty. silence also close that doors out of fear of possible reprisals from local say, women have practically disappeared from the street for the new, very small number, even daring to come out. despite the talent bonds promises to respect women's
6:13 am
rights. but it seems that many afghans stroke have confidence in those was we don't want to go back 20 years. they used force against us and broke our smartphone. and they told us that you cannot raise your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women, be ashamed. was no one who fools to protest against him to show the world that the taliban government does not have any value. not just for us, it has no legitimacy in the world. audio and my colleague re, to show, talk to the mayor of kabul about the situation on the ground. they are in touch with me. they called me and they informed me that i should continue my job for seems to some 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. busy it says women can perhaps even get an education a we have created
6:14 am
a 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 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. the 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
6:15 am
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 thing got. 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 side is not the same for 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place. in the meantime, a possible threat to the taliban power grub is forming in the countries north videos appeared online this week of resistance forces gathering back. well here you can see the troops flying the green and white flags of the northern lions. now it will fall off to the town on the bus came to pile that was back in $1096.00. and it grew until the us led invasion is reported. the 10000 down on cultures on now in the country. now that's the only regional that kind of stone that still contested.
6:16 am
it was an outpost of taliban resistance in the ninety's was never captured during the civil war. it also held out during the soviet invasion. the punch of problems is located within a valley of steep mountains. not form a solid natural defense spearheading the resistance and now is the african 1st vice president. i'm going to sol. unlike us nato, we haven't lost spirit and see enormous opportunities ahead. useless caveats of finished joining. the resistance followed, declared himself afghanistan's legitimate acting president of his former boss, fled the country amid the taliban in advance on cobble. he has for its limits before move and also in charge of spying on the militants needing the national security directorate. and now the key figures helping him rally the resistance together. that argument must sued the sun and namesake of a prominent task on warlord that oppose the fuss can upon rule. well, here's what my suit will saying back in june about defending his homeland. they're
6:17 am
going to fight for the rights of the people. they're going to fight for the rights of women and they're going to fight for many other values. the church. busy and we look at you from the past to see that you're the 1st line of defense. we are defending europe, you're defending division, and i have cancer fighting, not just for themselves, but for everyone. international relations act spot. so we heard from what divided over how much of a challenge this resistance was for the telephone? no, well it remains machine. how strong this is going to be. but teachers are moment to sort of symbolic way because a ton of under one control of the country, pretty much all of it. and this is all small pockets. resistance could be remaining there and they could develop designs can, can doomed in the, in the short term, not get very big. but i think one big question will be whether any foreign countries don't recognize north and line any other resistance group. and to try and
6:18 am
ostracize. and i'd like to try to, given that funds to the punch district has a history of standing up against any kind of italian rule noted by the soviets. later to the civil law. i'm the one that is a good chance that all those were pushing the on the rally around the literacy of i met some assaults some at the moment. i'm given that to the vice president stared back and he's making this defined claim. he's going to be very, i'll on the mental in terms of going this thing, that particular opposition, which wasn't there pretty slowly coming together. but it looks like any kind of push back against the new regime will face an extremely well armed force. the taliban now has access to a high tech weapons also what billions of dollars origin and gifted by the americans to the afghan army, the us national security advisor, answer some questions about the alms that have been left behind. those black hawks
6:19 am
were given to call upon 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 hand it over to us at the airport. and footage that's come to light throughout the week. taliban fighters have been seen parading around cobble showing off than you. american made rifles and humvees. washington is still attempting to estimate the amount of western technology that has fallen into the hands of the group. and to insult to injury the ton of bonds also created a photo opportunity. one of its special commander units decked out in us get recreated. an iconic walls will to photo soldiers raising the american flag. comedian jimmy door has some advice for washington knowing how to avoid such
6:20 am
humiliations and he shouted, what action returns he on all is going underground. do 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 the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homeless 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
6:21 am
a living wage in the united states? give them health care and give them an education. ironically, that's what the government up ganeth ended up until we invented the taliban. if you took, so there are 600000, according to statistics are 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 yet joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell, all the leaders and both parties. they know that they're that one out of 5 children
6:22 am
lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers. and they don't care the meanwhile, the town's political leader and co found to milan to go any broad has now returned from exile. taliban affiliated media showed him being greeted by cheering crowds, getting off the plane and come to hall broadway, who was arrested by pakistani security forces back in 2010 and captain cuff to be 3 years, is now expected by some to become the next leader of afghanistan. what another taliban commander who was seen on sunday storming the presidential palace and the capital, turned out to be a form, a detainee at the new tourist one, panama bay, come ortiz to meet your power, takes a closer look at 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
6:23 am
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 gold 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 rou, honey. 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 take over 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,
6:24 am
or it was the time spent in getting all that actually radicalized the simple shopkeeper into a taliban. for now. attic. it did not matter for detainees were innocent indeed, because he lived and have got to start 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 intel 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 life. 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 ghana, stan, regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american
6:25 am
soldier back if he sells and 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 b 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 buck 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, our that was a song but unique talents,
6:26 am
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 terrorist on other big wolf's, this is kind of beginning to seem like a trend. know, 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 americas seems to be fighting problems. it's self 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 and distorted. and that torture is really real. busy and it is
6:27 am
created oceans and oceans of hate and bog, graham base, bog from 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 collapse. it's good bye from the team here in moscow for this our next up though, and it's wild apart to see if i can enjoy the . ah, you know, mr. moses when you said that but
6:28 am
the good to go below what you're going to do. i'm going to show you so you didn't know where to put it in the it's not the best. what you will cover financing for us to let them know in order to follow the lease, you must not, although a lot nobody me on there is a sucker on union that you forgot to tell me your partially hon, which ah
6:29 am
6:30 am
me me i hello welcome to all the parts are times always bring out the bass and the worst and people in the governments. i mean, this sounds because this 900 conduct seems to be a pretty accurate reality check on individuals, countries and the world as a whole. rewarding those who practice and punishing those who only preach, but is a potent or carrying up to put politics back into the service of policy rather than the other way around. well, to discuss it, i'm now joined by a former brazilian president loose industrial lulu, this silver mister president, is good to see you. thank you very much for talking to us. i. oh, my pleasure. exciting. well 1st of all, let me start by asking you about the situation with the koran and virus because
