12:01 pm
welcome to the weekly out sunday program when we break down the biggest tours of the past 7 days. hello and welcome. while on surprise me, the kind of bonds rapids power grabbed through afghanistan has dominated on your line throughout the week. britain's defense ministry now says at least 7 civilians have already been killed on sunday at coppel port. as huge crowds gather in a desperate bid to feed the country. the chaotic scenes of stand, peace and crowds have been coming in from that system minutes in group and out total control of the country. however, citing the u. s. military, local media report the app or will be shot for 48 hours to a $5.00 to $8.00. go for the ready made it inside national border crossings and on

via sergeant. so the having to find a couple app remains the only way to leave the country. on saturday, the pentagon said some 17000 had been lifted this week, including round 2 and a half 1000 americans. that same day, the u. s. embassy and cobble issued a lot for assistance to avoid the output unless on this specific instruction from washington to go. then he started breaks down 7 days of disarray at afghan installed law affects at point a warning. you may find the upcoming content to stopping 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 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
12:03 pm
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 aren't many things that can make a loving parent to give away their infant child to complete strangers in military uniform. yet this option turned out to be preferable to having the baby learn 1st steps under the taliban. i've done, women took the groups, promises to treat them fairly with a huge pinch of salt to me. but to
12:04 pm
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 and they're interested in and 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 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 flak when i'm going to stand collapse to us. vice president camera le harris went abruptly silent . that's despite previously heralding herself has one of the luck 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,
12:05 pm
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 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 weren't accomplished. 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 strong for democracy, cation and women's rights, and made important progress. prisons, foreign secretary use edge to step down as the media alleged,
12:06 pm
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 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 case 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,
12:07 pm
obviously. and this whole enterprise has been very bad for the american people as well. many us soldiers have died. the good thing about exposing the delusions of the u. s. empire and the neo conservative to run u. s. foreign policy is that it's going to make them harder to continue. so there needs to be a lot more criticism and exposure of what the reality is versus what are the promises and the, the false estimates by us intelligence official. however, not after all and what we can do to get a seat on an evacuation flight. we heard from a german national, 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
12:08 pm
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, 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 on wall confusion rains out the fort in the city of cobbled daily life has all but ground to a halt. a local john this to pass on
12:09 pm
a tall also several days that they call, we'll see the capital off a gun to some fall into the fall of one. it seems that the sales, the city 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 completely all wired 3. if you compare it with the year before we do a month before, before it's all about capture the city, it was a very rock city where the what area is in fact, a very rough area of call. but now it's very, it's looking very why we will our majority of this, i make a model and a press kind of from a sure to people and cover that they are protected by the ton of on w w w. i also say that i'm thinking about leadership, i have all the to the fight as that they don't have permission to enter any houses or to any to search. i know how it is. i think they are not allowed to interpret
12:10 pm
the houses are in quite it and the government people know i'm here in the checkpoint of a ton of money in public city. i'm booked with the commander of the check point. that's how they can show the security people and what they are saying. what did people come up? my name is above the rock mancha chime. i'm the manager hit in the land, 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 the message to the shopkeepers and owners of the market? look as i do want a good will given them freedom, they should common, open their shops. there is no problem for them. is the fight in finished and have dennis them fighting has finished and again, this done, there is no g had anymore before this is gone. now we should come together and save our country and this is one of the cobble national airport gates. lots of people
12:11 pm
are just got here to get charles to get inside of the airport. but it seems that the security forces that they don't give permission. anyone forget 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 in sight lighting with her to have dismissed upon by western states to put african refugees in central asia. according to the proposal they would have the u. s. o e u. visa prices that before traveling on 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 for vladimir putin with
12:12 pm
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 now western 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,
12:13 pm
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 specially serious for to get to 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 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 not so long ago. no one wants a repeat of that, and that's why we don't want those elements coming from them. now of course those
12:14 pm
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 overwhelming is commenced, offensive. afghans have rallied across the country to show resistance to the taliban regime and cobble crowds march through the streets denouncing the country's take cove on they taunted onto taliban slogans and carried off, scan flags that have become a symbol of defiance. well, this on verified fidel purports to show a taliban fighter seizing afghan flags from a man in the street. then as you are about to see slapping him in the face, women also took part in the protests that said they are among most threatened in today's taliban control canister on. since the takeover, st advancing,
12:15 pm
cobble showing female faces have been painted over duty. psalms have closed doors faring reprisals. local say women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number. daring to come out. all that despite the tyler bonds 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. was the 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. while you, my colleague was to show talk to the mayor of cobble about the situation on the
12:16 pm
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 who 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 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 to satisfaction among racket, rank,
12:17 pm
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 thing. 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's a given take that has to take place. but any pushback against the new regime faces heavily armed forces, the top of our now also has a huge awesome of high tech weapons. what billions of dollars originally gifted by the pen to come to the african army, us national security advisor,
12:18 pm
the questions and all the alms left behind those black hawks 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 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. so taliban fighters parading around cobble with american made rifles and military the o'clock positions. washington still trying to estimate just how much weapon on tech has fallen into in such a hung, untied insult to injury, the title bonds also created a photo opportunity. one of its special commander units decked out in u. s. care, recreate night clinic world war 2 photo of troops raising the american flag. speaking thought he is going underground. comedian on political commentator jimmy
12:19 pm
door. shad this advice for washington on how to avoid such humiliations. you want a us intervention and 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 africa and help the women. i'd say, how about in the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid to 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. 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 have women, a living wage in the united states give them health care and give them an education
12:20 pm
. 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, 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 to get it then. so the united states ever really cared about women. they could spend a $7200000000.00 to take care of the homeless people in the united states. give them a 1000 that they won't do it. so yes, joe biden, nancy pelosi jobs humor. mitch mcconnell, all the leaders on both parties, they know that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states along
12:21 pm
with their mothers, and they don't care. ah, meanwhile, the taliban politically and co founder has returned from exile. tal about a vindictive media show. well, i've gotten he brought up being mobbed by cheering crowds as he got off the plate and can hall. he was arrested by pakistan in 2010, but it is now expected by some to become ask on the stones next leader. why not the taliban command? a scene on sunday storming the presidential palace turned out to be a former guantanamo detainees on teams to meet your pop. takes a closer look at his and similar cases if the situation and i guess 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. guess seriously, of all the people,
12:22 pm
the u. s. torture in guantanamo this was one of the guys deemed dark, really dangerous, and let go meet goal am roo honey. one of the 1st detainees at guantanamo in 2002. he was captured by us forces on suspicion of being a taliban security officer during his time and get more money 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 is 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 lena taliban radical pull one over them and lie his way out of the hands of the ca, or it was the time to spend and get mo, that actually radicalized a simple shopkeeper into a taliban fanatic. don't matter if a detainee were innocent. indeed,
12:23 pm
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 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 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
12:24 pm
a part of the official delegation of the taliban. he even took part in negotiating the us 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 talents and ability and now he's no less than the current leader of isis, replacing all. but daddy turns out he was just using the us to get rid of the competition for the top spot amongst terrorists, another big wolf's,
12:25 pm
this is kind of beginning to seem like a trend. now, basically, not only did the us fail to recognize dangerous radicals when they were right there their hands, they apparently even managed to embolden and help radicalized people who probably wouldn't have posed any threat if it weren't for having an encounter with some american intelligence officers. in the end, america seems to be fighting problems itself created and so many that doesn't even come as a shock. we come from the countries that collapse, questions are being raised on how the high equipped count on me was just swept to side. we discussed the issue with gast, so despite all of america's fire power, despite all of america's allies, the united states was really doomed from the very beginning. they did not understand what it was getting involved in the united states culturally was so ignorant of conditions inside afghanistan that we thought the war in the completely
12:26 pm
inept way from the beginning. this is the military blunder and the history of the planet. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with america. this is hurts, reaches, 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 what to do backwards is complete. been unheard of. it's been, has been fought. so it, it feels if someone has, has dullness with no knowledge whatsoever of the area. a large number of african only people, especially outside the cities, are sick and tired of war instability and insecurity. the corruption of the outgoing western support government on behalf it's not even, it's not actually welcoming the telephone. apache mindset that it can't be worse than the previous income and that was backed by the western powers. and without
12:27 pm
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, 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 actually has went wrong. if not, i think that's just 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. now it's good for myself and the whole team here at ortiz h 2 and the former will be take care of at the top. so join me,
12:28 pm
but later on as me of easy i just by now rival guy. when customers go buy, you reduce the price now, well, reduce the lower the best under cutting, but what's good for food market? it's not good for the global economy. while the make no, certainly no borders and the blind piece is emerged. we don't have authority, we don't actually, the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge governors crisis. and we can do better. we should be
12:29 pm
better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the the, the shoes less than one year ago. the 17 year old from detroit underwent a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed that the cigarettes were harmless, at least that's what he had always heard. i didn't think it was dangerous. i
12:30 pm
thought the worst that had happened was maybe getting addicted to nicotine, which at that time it didn't seem like they feel me because i was just a kid does doing things. yeah. and the only really like i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out like, oh, it won't hurt you. is it good for you don't like that, like a really wasn't true. the american boy is one of those vapors who have gone on to develop emily. this new pulmonary disease has been linked to the use of e cigarettes. daniel consumed the same products as his friends. none of them have experienced any issues. but for daniel in the september of 2019 his life took a dramatic turn that night i went to the.
