me the feel what you know, we care on our national detailed re, i'd call pull up a week off to the ton about the power went down at the dawn. now speak in the next 2 days to evacuate. those already in slide thousands are still death. 3, trying to pretty through the country only as despite the devastating gone solve the taliban. there is some resistance tv limit among the group protesting the takeover scan. women faring so that's huge job under the new regime and the chaos to pull out by the western coalition also lisa generous gift to be in charge of increasing advanced weaponry, provide croft and arm and vehicles diva biometric identification system. the

news, welcome to the weekly on sunday program where we break down the biggest stories of the past 7 days. hello and welcome. when of course, the town about sweeping offensive through afghanistan to seize power has dominated our new line throughout the week. the latest is the u. k. ministry of defense says at least 7 civilians were killed. the sunday cobble airport as large crowds continued to garza and a desperate attempt to free the country. the chaos sixteens of sound. peas and crowds isn't coming in from that since the fall, stay the militant group, and now it's total control over the country. however, us citing the u. s. military local media reports and that the apple will be shot for the next 48 hours to evacuate. those who have already made it inside or across

and on now run it by the sergeant on the heavily defended port in cobbles, remain the only place out of reach and thought. the only way to leave the country and saturday, the pentagon said some 17000 people had been lifted out this week, concluding around 2 and a half 1000 americans. on the same day, the u. s. embassy a couple issues and a lot for citizens to avoid the apple unless that was specific instructions from the american government to go. the ecos, donald breaks down the last 7 days that the ask on capitol main transport hub. a 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 ganawe's done following the us withdrawal happened as people were being shot, desperate of gunny scaling jets, some even tragically falling of the shaggy 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 foot 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 are 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 been, 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 beef 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 or through the airport. we've made an agreement with the, with the taliban as far they've allowed them to go through and they're interested in a go through. so we know of no circumstance where american citizens are carrying an american passport or trying to get through to the airport. we are aware that some people, including americans have been harassed and even even 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 flag when gaston collapse to us vice president campbell harris went abruptly silent that despite previously heralding herself as one of the locomotive is 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 visa applicants and vulnerable guns out of the country. the german authorities are scorched for evacuating beer before local staffers who risk 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 building experiment was a mistake. i just didn't succeed and parent accomplished as we had planned the realization on the middle. one of them is terrifying for the millions of americans who supported the more free society and who with the support of when they've gone through 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, i'm going to interpreters for the u. k. army escaped the country before the taliban takeover and possible revenge attacks. and all of this is peppered with smaller 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 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, 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 u. s. empire and the neoconservatives 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 operational. however, not everyone was lucky enough to get a fit on an evacuation flight. we heard from a gentleman national, his car is stuck in the country with his african fiance. and i just not, 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 are situation. mike, you're worse if they find out that my fiance is engaged or got married abroad once we arrive safely in germany will 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. while confusion reigns at the fort in the city of cobbled daily

life as well, but ground to a halt, a local janice took us on a talk after a capital. also several days that they call, we'll see the capital off a gun to some fall into the top. and it seems that the sales is quite sharp that we are seeing you here. they're all clues, the bonds, the restaurant, the supermarket, that all crews. and if you see this region here, it's a completely acquired read. if you compare it with us before we do a month before, before it's all about capture the city, it was a very rock city. it was the what these areas, in fact very russian area of call. but now it's like looking very why we will our majority. this person does not make a model in a press kind of fraud. i showed the people and cover that they are protected by the ton of on w w. i'd also say that it's not about leadership. i have all the to the fighters

that they don't have permission to enter for any houses or to any to search. i know how it is built they, they are not allowed to enter the house. has our inquiry on the government. people know i'm a year and a checkpoint of a ton of money and public digit. i booked us with the commander of the check point . that's how they can show to security people and what they are saying, what people call up my name is above the rock mancha china. i'm the much a 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 are 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 come and open the shop. there is no problem for them. with the fight and finished and have denise that fighting has finished. and again, this done, there is no g had anymore before this has gone to her. now we should come together

and save our country. this is one of the cobble 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 get permission for anyone to get inside of the airport. now i'm going to interview with one of the guys who is with waiting for long time. it is good, but did he put in find the child to get inside of the airport? 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 the face of overwhelming offensive by this. some ask our people have been riding across the country to show that resistance to the taliban regime and called for example, crowds mock through the street and denouncing the takeover of the country. they

chanted unto taliban slogans and carried afghan flags that had become a symbol of defiance. well, this unverified figure purports to show a taliban fight to seizing afghan flags from a man in the street. and as you can see and slapping him in the face, women also took part in the protests that fed that they are the most under threat in today's taliban control canister on. well, since the takeover st adverts in cobble showing women's faces have been painted over several shops and beauty fountains, walter closed tools out of fair, if possible, reprisals some local se. women have practically disappeared from the streets there in your very small number, even daring to come out. all that, despite the telephone's promises to respect women's rights, but it seems that many afghans don't have confidence in those wives. 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 to 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 or on my colleague, re shay, talk to the mayor of cobble about the current 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 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. busy it says women can perhaps even get an education a we have educated women, we have women who can provide services. we have woman can, 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 issue of women has to be dealt with in the context of human rights. and islam of course, within that context, there are freedoms. we cannot deny that from the women are honest one. 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. this satisfaction among racket, rank, and file and the ministry 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

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 up on the sun is not the same up on a song 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place. in the meantime, a possible threat to the taliban. the power grub is forming in the countries north videos appeared online this week of resistance forces gathering that were here. you can see the troops slide, the green and white flags of the northern alliance. now this was formed up to the town of on 1st came to pop back in 1996 and for the group until the us led invasion . it is reported that $10000.00 on the soldiers on now in the punch ship province, it's the only regional buff kind of storm that still contested. it was an outpost of taliban resistance in the nineties and was never captured during the civil war. it also held out during the soviet invasion pan ship problems is located within

a valley of steep mountain that form a solid natural defense spearheading the resistance and now is the count. first vice president umbrella, solid. unlike us nato, we haven't lost spirit and see enormous opportunities ahead. useless caveats finished joined. the resistance followed, declared himself afghanistan's legitimate acting president. up to his former boss fled the country with the ton of bonds advance on cobble. he hands full islamist before and was also in charge of spying on the militant fleeting. the national security directorate when another key figure is helping him rally the resistance together. that's not my sued, the son and namesake of a prominent african warlord that oppose the 1st time upon rule. here's what most suitable saying back in june about defending his homeland. they're 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 and you 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 experts that we've heard from what divided about how much of a challenge there is resistance is for the taliban? no. well, did you remember the machine? how strong this is going to be, but to, to the moment it sort of symbolic way, because the ton of under one control of the country, pretty much all of it and this is school, small pockets, resistance could be remaining there and they couldn't develop, decides to do in the, in the short term not get very big. 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 ostracize. and i'd like to try to been given that funds to value the punch a district has a history of standing up against any kind of italian rule noted with the soviets later. but the 7 law, i'm the one submitted

a good chance that all those who are watching the on the one or rally around the literacy of i met some assume some of the moment i'm given that vice president stared back and he's making the claim he's going to be very, i'll under mental in terms of goal is things that particular produce and which was in there pretty slowly coming together. but it looks like any kind of push pocket against the new regime will face and extremely well armed forces. because the taliban now has access to a high tech weapons off and billions of dollars, origin and gifted by the americans to the african army. the us national security adviser answered some questions about all the alms that have been left behind. those black hawks were given to the tall 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 by. 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. one footage that's come to light throughout the week. taliban fighters have been seen parading around cobble shutting off the new american made rifles and humvees. washington is still attempting to estimate the amount of weaponry on technology that have full in the hands of the group. and to add insult to injury the tongue also created a photo opportunity. one of its special commander units decked out and us recreated my chronic wild will to photo soldiers raising the american flag comedian and john jimmy to have some advice for washington on how to avoid such humiliations in the future. annie shadid was action. were townsville tea 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 if the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invade 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, plenty of women, a living wage in the united states, give them health care and give them an education. ironically, that's what the government up gammon ended up until we invented the taliban. if you took said there's 600000 according to statistics or 600000 homeless people in

america. a 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, but 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 lives in poverty in the united states along with their mothers. and they don't care the meanwhile, the taliban is a political leader and co founder milan to connie barrage has now returned from

exile. taliban affiliated media showed him being greeted by charing crowds getting off the plane and come to ha bardon who was arrested by pakistani security forces in 2010. and captain custody for years is now expected by some to become the next leader of our finest on one another. taliban commander was seen on sunday storming the presidential palace in the capital, turned out to be a former detain. nathan, a tourist one, panama bay, on teams to me to park takes a closer look at his and other similar cases. if the situation and gas that wasn't already a disaster showcasing the shortcomings of u. s. 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. yes. seriously, of all the people, the us torture 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 re, honey maintained, that he was called 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. his sick father won an appliance store and couple fast forward to 2021 and he's a taliban commander leading the takeover of couple. so either the us 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 it's been and get know that actually radicalized a simple shopkeeper into a taliban finance, it did not matter for detainees were innocent. indeed, because he lived and 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 is 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, a stand regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american soldier back if you seldom kept 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, our that was the song. but if you meet talent inability, and now he's no less than the current leader of isis, replacing all by 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 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. a week on from the collapse of the country. questions all being all stuck to how the well equipped got all me will so easily swept aside. we discuss the issue with a pan of gas. so despite all of america's fire power, despite all of america's allies, the united states was really doomed from the very beginning, did i say, did not understand what it was getting involved in united states culturally, was so ignorant of conditions inside afghanistan that we thought the war in the

completely inept way from the beginning. this is the military blunder and the history of a half the planet. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with america. this is heard 3, just you don't need to have the 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 complete. been 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 west and support the government on perhaps it's not even, it's not actually welcoming the telephone apache mindset that it can't be worse than the previous incumbent that was backed by the western powers. and with those

factors in place, this rapid boss 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 were 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 very, very corrupt. this was not planned. should teach glee has went wrong. if not, i think this has made america's 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 lot being a waste of time. i'll talk since the out, but remember all, quito. com has so much more stories around 3 just now on of course, much,

much more just to click away, check it out and have a great day. the guys are financial survival guide, liquid assets. those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in mind, no out that to mean to inflation watch skies report now we have e cigarettes. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out, do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco have been worse? me the at the height of the 2020 corona virus pandemic mass media really covered stories from africa. the world

was more interested in kind of, it, and africa had more less infected people in europe. but one story gone people's attention. newspapers reported that kenya was having an elephant baby boom journalist linked the unprecedented surge and the elephant birth rate, to tourists being restricted from the park. they said it was a more positive side of a lot down. but kind of it nothing to do with it. ah, ah, prince to my biggest is okay. so you see 2018. we got a pretty good green and we have a lot of us as seen in 202020.
