11:00 am
the the i want you to weekly on all the informational entails. disarray i've called will add port a week off to the town about power and i've got a song. reportedly the last protected word to flee, the militant will be closed for the next 2 days to tweak those already inside 1000 off. so really trying to escape through the country, the only court or just by the devastating yvonne's of the taliban. there is some resistance among the groups protesting the takeover down women faring for that huge shock onto the new regime on mchale to pull out by the western coalition. also leave that generous gift to be in such and encouraging advanced weaponry from across and all the vehicles to biometric identification.
11:01 am
ah, it's sunday. so it's a weekly here on our tea. a breakdown of the stories that grabbed headlines of the past 7 days. good to have you with us. while as you'd expect, the taliban sweeping power grab through afghanistan has dominated our news line throughout the week. britain's defense ministry now says that news 7 civilians have already been killed on sunday. a couple of port as huge crowds gather in a desperate bid to flee the country. the chaotic scenes of some peas and crowds have been coming in from that since the medicine group announced total control of the country. however, fighting the u. s. military local media report, the apple will be shot to 8 hours to evacuate. those who were already made to cite
11:02 am
national border crossings are now run that by the and sergeant to the heavily defended carpool. apple remains the only way to leave the country. on saturday, the pentagon said some 17000 had been left of this week, including around 2 and a half 1000 americans. not the same day. the u. s. embassy and cobble issued a lot for its citizens to avoid the app or unless on the specific instructions from washington. the coda equals donald breaks down 7 days of disarray and i scanned stones 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 ganna is 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 of a q
11:03 am
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 the service dogs booted planes and flew to freedom while crowds fought for access 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 in from 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 got women took the groups, promises to treat them fairly with
11:04 am
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 have 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 even by the taliban. this is unacceptable and we made it clear to their designated telephone leader. but joe biden is far from the only person taking the flack when i've got to stand collapsed 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
11:05 am
and i've got this done 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 risk 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 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 weren't accomplished. as we had planned. the realization on the midterm 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, cation and women's rights, and made important progress. prisons, foreign secretary is edge to step down. as the media alleged,
11:06 am
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 to go out and collect up large numbers of people. the u. s. was caught on a harrison 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,
11:07 am
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 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 official. however, not for i was lucky enough to get effect on an evacuation flight. we heard from the german national, his current stock in the country with his asking 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
11:08 am
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 make it 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 my fiance permission to enter germany, and while confusion reigns up the port in the city of kabul,
11:09 am
daily life on the ground to a halt, a local john. this took off on a tall also several days that they call. we'll see the capital of a gun at some fall into the fall of one. it seems that the sales is quite sharp that you are seeing here. they're all clues. the bonds, the restaurant, the supermarket did all cruise. and if you see this region here, it's a complete yet. why is 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 his area is in fact a very rough area of call, but now it's very, it's 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 call them that they are protected by the ton of on w. w number is also said that it's not making about leadership. i have all the fighters that they don't have permission to enter any houses or to any to search. i
11:10 am
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 check point of a ton of money and publish it. i'm booked with the commander of the check. fine. that's how they can assure the security people and what they are saying. what people call up my name is above the rock mancha child. 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 should come and open their shop. there is no problem for them in the fight and finished and again, fighting has finished. and again, this done, there is no de, had any more before this had gone to her. now we should come together and save our country. this is one of the couple international airport get lots of people are
11:11 am
just gathered here to get charles to get inside of the airport. quite a few of the security forces that they don't give permission for 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 the 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. meantime, vladimir putin as dismissed a plan by western states to put african refugees in central asia, according to the proposal they would have the u. s. e visa process that before traveling on to the final destination. it must be our goal to keep the majority of
11:12 am
the people in the region. europe shouldn't wait until people stand at our external borders. still absorbed or sustain clearly opposed to us now voluntarily taking in more people and that will not happen during my championship. i'm not of the opinion that we should take in more people quite the opposite for what you're putting with sticky. 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 even with now, what's been partners frequently raised the question of accommodating african
11:13 am
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, like 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 like sun 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 that dentist. and, 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 militants themselves. i mean, this is serious problem that the russian president has said has a direct relationship to russian national security when you had teamster. but we
11:14 am
don't, once militants disguise those refugees appearing in our country as 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 is the most offensive off towns have running across the country to show resistance to the taliban regime and cobbled crowds marked through the streets denouncing the country's takeover. they chanted unto town upon slogans and carried to ass down flags that how become a symbol of defiance. this unverified figure purports to show a taliban fight to seizing afghan flags from
11:15 am
a man in the street. then as you're probably about to see now slapping him in the face, women also took part in the protests. it's fed, they are among the most threatened in today's kind of bond control canister on. since the takeover st adverts and couple showing female faces have been painted over beauty. psalms have closed tools fair and reprisals, local se. the woman who practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number, daring to come out all by despite the ton of bonds, promises to respect women's rights. but it seems that our downs don't have confidence in those was oh, 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 who
11:16 am
forced 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. my colleague who should talk to the mayor of cobble 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 or seems to thumb that the taliban is perhaps putting on a bit of a p. r. stand at the moment the taliban saying that they want women to have the opportunity perhaps to even get a job. busy it says women can perhaps even get an education a we have educated women, we have women who can provide services. we have women can, we can be part of the economy. therefore, it's only logical for itala bond and 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 this one. do you
11:17 am
think the lack of resistance, even the lack of blood spilled, suggests that actually strong support for the taliban within the country. there was a little bit of both for support for paula bon resentment of how things were managed to satisfaction among racket, rank, and file in the military 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. 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 side is not the same for 20 years ago. so there is
11:18 am
a given take that has to take place. but any pushback against the new regime faces heavily armed forces that had by now also has a huge arsenal, high tech weapons, what billions of dollars originally gifted by the pentagon and the afghan army, the u. s. nash security adviser answered. questions are on the arms. that's behind those black hawks were given to the top 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 footage from the week shows taliban fighters parading round cobble with american made rifles and military clock positions. washington, still trying to estimate just how much weapon ram tech has fallen into in such an hon until i didn't fall to injury the tyler bonds also creates
11:19 am
a photo opportunity. one of its special commando unit is debt down in us gear, recreate night clinic world war 2 photo troops raising the american flag. speaking taught in getting underground comedian and political commentator jimmy doors said this advice for washington on how to avoid such humiliations. do 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 that gas and help the women. i'd say, how about if 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
11:20 am
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 have women, a living wage in the united states give them health care and give them an education . ironically, that's what the government of gavin ended 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 kill people 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.
11:21 am
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 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 ton of bonds, political leader and co founder, has returned from exile tunnel bon affiliated media. sho, moolah to connie broad to being mobbed by cheering crowds as he got off a plane in kandahar he was arrested by pakistan in 2010, but is not expected by song to become a john stones. next. lead us one, another taliban commander on sunday, storming the presidential palace, turned out to be a formal guantanamo detainees or teams to meet your part. takes a closer look at his and similar cases if the situation and i guess that wasn't
11:22 am
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. torture 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 my 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 takeover of cool. so either the u. s. intelligence was,
11:23 am
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 spent in getting all that actually radical. 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 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 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 could tar far from again, a stand regardless of the circumstances,
11:24 am
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 b u. s. withdrawal from janice then earlier this year we'll see then there are the isis super terrorists, for example, the 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 pick them 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
11:25 am
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 nick talents and ability and now he's no less than the, the 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 and 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. it's self created, and so many that doesn't even come as a shock. we call from the country, the collapse questions are being raised from how the high you equipped i scanned all me, will slept aside. we discuss the issue with guests. so despite all of america's
11:26 am
fire power, despite all of america's allies, 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 and the completely inept way from the beginning. this is the military ponder and the history of a half the planet. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with american. this is her 3. just you don't need to have ability main to understand, but you need to remove your staff from an embassy into a secure b s. and then leave the countries, but to do it backwards is completely on heard off. it's been, has been for so it, it feels like someone has, has done this with no knowledge whatsoever of the area. a large number of african only people,
11:27 am
especially outside the cities are sick and tired of war instability. an insecurity . the construction of the outgoing western support, the government is not even, it's not actually welcoming telephone after the mindset that it can't be worse than the previous income. and that was backed by the western powers. and without factors in place this rapid ball could not 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, 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 very, very corrupt. this was not planned. should teach glee has went wrong. it's not,
11:28 am
i think this is me. and america is strategic foreign policy completely irrelevant night 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 ask on people. it just seems pointless the whole lot being a waste of time. all that brings on use are when and if you one for the details on any of those stores or many, many more than audio home is the pace you have the the, the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe for tyson lation, whole community?
11:29 am
are you going the right way? or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is in the world corrupted. you need to this end. the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows ah the cigarette smoking stands for freedom, sociability, for relaxation and enjoyment, smokers radiate eroticism and self confidence, or at least the promise. film stars and filmmakers have known this for decades.
11:30 am
me. today the tobacco industry is promoting an entirely new generation of products and wisdom comes a new set of promises. whether it's a tobacco heater or an e cigarette, the traditional habit of smoking has moved into a supposedly healthy pastime. nicotine enjoyment, no shame or regret the greatest dependence on nicotine, the greater the profit in 2019 alone. the tobacco industry generated world wide revenues of over $800000000000.00. but what are the actual health benefits of these new products for confuse all the latest innovations in smoking really as homeless as the tobacco industry wants us to.
