ah the you're watching the weekly on, on the international details and disarray. i hobble a week off to the ton of bonds. 3 to power enough down it's dawn. fortunately, the long protected the militant will be closed for the next 2 days to get back to those already inside 1000 off still desperately trying to flee through the country . it's only for despite the devastating advance all to talk about there is some resistance to the as them, as among the group protesting the takeover. i found women faring to that cute just under the new regime on the cale didn't pull out by the western coalitional leave the generous gift from the inside, including advanced weaponry from croft and all my vehicle to biometric identification.

ah weekly here on, on the international where we take a look at the biggest stories of the past 7 days a room. welcome to our program. while cool, see tyler bond sweeping offensive through afghanistan has dominated our news out throughout the week. britain's defense ministry now says any southern civilians have already been killed on sunday. cobble airport as huge crowds gather and a desperate bed to feed a country. the cale pick scenes of sound peace and crowds have been coming in from us since the medicine group and our total control of the country was a site in u. s. military local media report. the apple will be shot for 48 hours to evacuate

. ready? mason? inside the national border crossings are now run at 5 in such a said a heavily defended couple ap remain here a new way to leave the country. on saturday, the pentagon said some 17000 had been lifted this week, including around 2 and a half 1000 americans. same day, the u. s. embassy and cobbler issued a lot for citizens to avoid the output unless on the specific instruction from washington to go. then. because donald re sounds 7 days of disarray and africa kind of storms last exit point. a warning you may find the upcoming content disturbing. the past few days have been an ultimate exercise in white washing for the white house. the beverly collapse of gaston following the us withdrawal 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. 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 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 done, women took the groups, promises to treat them fairly with a huge pinch of salt too. but to

take them is a tall 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 tale bond thus 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 for 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 taliban leader. but joe biden is far from the only person taking the flak 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 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, thesis applicants, and vulnerable of guns out of the country. the german authorities are scorched for evacuating beer before local staffers who risk their lives working for the 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 find the reporter himself. chancellor angle merkel had to openly admit that the african nation billing experiment was stake. i list just didn't succeed. and her to complex as we had planned, the realization on the mit is terrifying for the millions of afghans who supported the more free society and who with the support of when they've gone through for democracy and women's rights and made important progress. prisons. foreign

secretary is 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 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 go out and collect up large numbers of people. the us 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 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 official. however, not after all, i was lucky enough to get a seat on an evacuation flight. we heard from the german national guard 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 got married abroad once we arrived 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 my fiance permission to enter germany and while confusion reigns up, the port in the city of cobbled daily life has all but ground to

a halt. a local john us to call on a tool. also several days that the call will see the capital of a gun at some fall into the fall of one. it seems that the sales, the city is quite the shop that you're seeing 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 it 3. if you compare it with us before we do a month before or before it's all about capture the city, it was a very rock city. it was what these areas, in fact very russia 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 told the people and call them that they are protected by the tunnel on w. w number is also said that this, i'm thinking about leadership. i have all the to the fight as a they don't have permission to enter any houses or to any to search. i know how it

is. i did both, they, they are not allowed to interpret. the house has, are inquiry on the government. people know i'm here in the check point of a ton of money and publish it. i'm booked with the commander of the checkpoint. that's how they can shortly. security people and what they are saying, what people will call, but my name is above the rock mancha chime. i'm the major hit in the baseline. the camera movement. 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 want a good will given them freedom. they should common, opened their 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,

and this is one of the call 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 put in find the chance to get inside of the airport? which is 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. a lot of my person has dismissed the plan by western states to put african refugees in central asia. according to the proposal they would have the us who use these was processed before traveling to the final destination. it must be our goal to keep the majority of the people in the region.

europe shouldn't wait until people stand at our external borders as did absolute est clearly opposed to us now voluntarily taking in more people and that will not happen during my chancellor ship. i'm not of the opinion that we should take in more people quite the opposite. well. busy why don't we put in with speaking, speaking up specifically there against several proposals that were given by european leaders to confine afghan refugees to the region until they purportedly received visas from the u. s. or some other western country. but of course, nobody knows exactly how long that's going to take, or if they're even going to receive visas at all. it's important to remember that throughout the the ladder years of the afghanistan war and now a lot of people in afghanistan who collaborated with nato forces the us led coalition. they were promised visas and never received one and now they're fearing reprisals from the taliban. so let's hear what the russian president had to say about the situation. but now what's been partners frequently raised the question of

accommodating african refugees in central asian countries before they get to us visa or some other one. so you can send people without a visa to these countries to our neighbors, but they don't want to take them with the visas to their own countries. it's quite a humiliating approach to the issue. now putting statements come amid the preparations for tomorrow's collective security treaty organization meeting that's, that's an organization in which 3 of its members states are cars. exxon could kurdistan and said you could stand, these are all countries that are located in the central asian region where afghanistan is also located. and this is especially serious for to just stand because it shares a common border with afghan, a stand. but one of the bigger problems really is that who's to say that all of the refugees that come into the region are actually going to be refugees are not militant themselves. i mean, this is a serious problem that the russian president has said, has a direct relationship to russia. national security. you had teams to, but we don't,

once militants disguise those refugees appearing in our country, the horrors we are witnessing now enough kindness, then these horrors were on our territory not so long ago. no one wants a repeat of that. that's why we don't want those elements coming from them. now of course those horrors on the territory of the russian federation and in central asia that putting was referencing there, of course, had to do with the terrorist attacks that the region and russia have have had, had a problem with throughout the early 2, thousands and even after 2010, and nobody really wants to see of course, a repeat of these terrorist activities in the face of the overwhelming it's the most offensive off towns have rallied across the country to show resistance to taliban regime. and kabul crowds march through the streams denouncing the country's tape paper. they chanted down to town on slogans and carried off kind of flags that helped become a symbol of disciplines. this unverified video purports to show a taliban fight to seizing african flags from

a man in the street. then we're going to see right now slapping him in the face. women also took part in the protests of fare. they are among the most threatened in today's taliban controlled afghanistan. since the takeover st adverts and cobble showing female faces have been painted over due to solid, closed doors, fearing reprisals. local, say, women are practically disappeared from the street to the very small number, daring to come out. despite the telephone's promises to respect women's rights, it seems that sounds don't 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. i am i call a voice shade. talk to the mail of kabul 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 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. it says women can perhaps even get an education. 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 the 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 upon us. but 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, but 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 i saw 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place. but any pushback against the new regime faces

heavily armed forces, the telephone now also has a huge altima of high tech weapons, was billions of dollars. that were regina, gifted by the pentagon to the count army. the u. s. national security adviser answered questions are old alms left behind. those black hawks were given to the tolliver and 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 footage from the week shows taliban fighters parading around cobble with american made rifles a minute to clock positions. washington, still trying to estimate just how much weaponry and tech has fallen into and such and hum until i didn't sold to injury the towns also created

a photo opportunity. one of the special command units dec down to us gear, recreate is an iconic world will to photo of troops raising the american flag of thinking, taught he is getting underground comedian on political commentator jimmy door. shut his advice for washington to avoid this humiliation. you want a us 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'd 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, 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 gonna 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 gave us then did up until we invented the taliban. if you took that there are 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 bomb and killed people and to 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, navy pillows each up humor. mitch mcconnell, all the leaders and both parties, they know that there, that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers. and they don't care. i meanwhile, the town of bonds, political need to and co founder has returned from x. all taliban affiliated media show more love to go any broader being mobbed by cheering crowds as he bought off the plane and come to hong he was arrested by pakistan and 2010, but is now expected by some to become ask can tons next leader one another taliban commander on sunday storming the presidential palace, turned out to be a form at one time, a detainee ortiz, to meet your power, takes a closer look at his and similar cases. if the situation and gas an 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. guess seriously, of all the people, the u. s. 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, ronnie maintained that he was called a simple shopkeeper who tried to help americans. so some 5 years later, we're 8. according to ronnie he was released on the promise that he just wanted to help is sick father, one an appliance store and couple fast forward to 2021 and he's a taliban commander, leading the takeover of cool. 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 is spent in getting all that actually radicalized the simple sha keeper into a taliban fanatic, it didn't matter if a detainee were innocent. indeed, because he lived and got to stone 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 the teenager and 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, 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 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 st. sug 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 and foreman 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 says replacing all. but daddy turns out he was just using the us to get rid of the competition for the top spot amongst terrorists and 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 end, america seems to be fighting problems itself created and so many that doesn't even come as a shock from myself and the whole team here in our team. use roommates, goodbye, but come your way now and i'll te wilds apart from people taking on the big and powerful sit in good way and i

use the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me now we have cigarettes. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco tours rather driven by shaped by thinkers out of those

in me dares thing. we dare to ask me o me the me ah hello and welcome to all the parts hard times to always bring out the bass and

the worse than people and their governments. i mean, this sounds because this 900 conduct seems to be a pretty accurate reality check on individual countries and the world as a whole. rewarding those who practice and punishing those who only preach, but is a potent or care way enough 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 lewis in nashville live the silver mister president is good to see you. thank you very much for talking to us by. oh, my pleasure, exxon. well, 1st of all, let me start by asking here about the situation with the koran virus, because this is something that concerns people all around the world. not only in russian, brazil, but in many other countries. i know that you have been very, very critical of how your own country under your success are dealt with the corona virus pandemic, but putting present bolton,

all right aside and focusing solely on your countrymen on the brazilians. do you think that experience and brazil has had a very difficult experience with colbert 900? do you think that experience has been scary enough to immunize your people, again, demagoguery and populism, or has it, on the contrary, made them more susceptible to these brand of politics? by your own problem, i do, but i feel the problem with brazil listed our president does not respect science or medicine. you know, those who understand the meaning and severity of the cove at 19 pandemic, paid for the president did not purchase vaccines when he could have done so. he does not believe in immunization as a way of fighting against the corona virus. he does not believe in isolation or in wearing mask. you know, my and i won't be the more for my you will feel, come back to him. it doesn't matter where the one person dies. 165000 people die,

which is the number of deaths so far with the fear of because of his disrespect for science. i think our president is almost genocidal trouble because many people died due to lack of guidance from the government or because of its mis guidance. not to why the can we cannot see that for kill my find. your doctor thought he does not believe in need to humanize the government. you know, for the last he did not define protocols. what either he did not gather scientist or state and governor's foyce. if he did not make any of the decisions that a democratic government that is concerned, the people would have made you a president who you never means worth talking about. present both an arrow and i'm sure you have many unflattering terms to, to, to say about him. but again, my question was about the brazilian people, because if we look at the opinion, polls case, approval rating, still, harvard is around 40 percent. what is.
