ah, well i welcome the latest back. what's been happening over the last 7 days to you, watson weekly here, a naughty international. now the kind of benz, rapid power grabbed through afghanistan has dominated the headlines this week. however, one region does remain outside the groups control. and the battle for it is looming with reports coming in that the taliban is now preparing to attack the strategic pan. she valley well defined afghans have fled to the region and i post of resistance to the taliban since the $900.00 ninety's. it's just over a 100 kilometers north of couple and is surrounded by steep mountains that form a solid natural barrier. meanwhile, burton's defense ministry says at least 7 civilians have been killed on sunday. a couple airport as huge crabs gathered in

a desperate bid to flee the country. the chaotic themes of sam page and crimes have been coming in from their since the militant group and nines total control of the country. however, citing the u. s. military local media report that the airport will be shot for 48 hours to evacuate. the ready native inside all nations for the crossings, and i run by the surgeon said he heavily defended comple airport. does remain the only way to leave the country on saturday. depends. it said that around 17000 people had been earlier this week including 2 and a half size and americans that same day, the u. s. embassy, and people issued an alert fritz citizens to avoid the airport unless under specific instructions from washington to go. there you go. to donald breaks down $97.00 days of disarray at afghanistan's last exit points. word of warning might find the images in his report. the sturdy,
2:03 pm
the past few days have been an ultimate exercise in white washing for the white house. the beverly collapse of gas has done following the us withdraw 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 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
2:04 pm
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 done, 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 in trouble through the airport. we've made an agreement with the, with the tale bonds 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 for trying to get through to the airport. we are aware that some people, including americans have been harassed and beaten by the taliban. this is unacceptable
2:05 pm
and we made it clear to their designated teller bun leader. but joe biden is far from the only person taking the flack when i've got to stand collapse to us. vice president campbell harris went abruptly silent that despite previously heralding herself as one of the look of motives before the pull out to date, this is her only comment on the evacuation chaos. we are closely monitoring the situation and i've got this done all priorities to continue evacuating us citizens, special immigrant, thesis 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 the 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 billing experiment was
2:06 pm
a mistake. i just didn't succeed, aren't accomplished as we had planned. that is a realization. and the middle one is terrifying for the millions of africans who support 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, 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 case, you go out and collect up large numbers of people. the u. s. was caught unawares
2:07 pm
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, 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 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,
2:08 pm
the false estimates by us intelligence officials. so as we've heard that many people have not been able to get actor for a couple, we spoke with a german national, who's currently stuck in the country with his afghan 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
2:09 pm
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. and i well confusion reins at the airport in the city of cripple itself. daily life there is all but ground to a halt. a local journalist took us on a talk. also several days that they call, we'll see the capital of a gun to some fall into the fall of one. it seems that the sales, the city is quite sharp, that we are seeing you here. they're all clues, the bonds, the restaurant, the supermarket did all cruise. and if you see this region here to complete the why 3, if you compare it with the year before we do a month before, before the telephone capture the city, it was
2:10 pm
a very rough city. it was what these areas, in fact a very rough area of color, but now it's looking very white. we will our majority, this person of the stomach, a model in the press kind of frog i showed the people of color that they are protected by the ton of on w w w. i also said that this, i'm thinking about leadership. i have all the to the fight as that they don't have permission to enter the house or to i need to search. i know how it is. i did both . they, they are not allowed to interpret. the houses are inquiring on the government. people know i'm here in the checkpoint of a ton of money, public digit. i booked us with the commander of the check point. that's how they can i showed you are 3 people on what they are saying. what the people come up. my name is above the rock mancha chime. i'm the manager hit in the land, the camera move. 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 of the problem for the terrible people. now i see the shops and markets are closed. what's
2:11 pm
the message to the shopkeepers and owners of the market? look as i do what a good will given them. freedom should come and open the shop. there is no problem for them. is the fight in finished and have dennis that fighting has finished and again, this done, there is no g had animal before. this is gone. now we should come together and save our country. this is one of the couple international airport get lots of people are just gathered here to get charles to get inside of the airport. but it seems that 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 guy who was waiting for long time, but he couldn't find the child 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
2:12 pm
immigrant visa which has been accepted and approved but i still can't get in sight . meanwhile, the taliban takeover has revived major concerns about the inflow of migrants into europe with the u. officials openly fearing a repeat of the 2015 crisis. when more than a 1000000 flooded into the block, austria's leader is today repeated his firm opposition to taking asylum seekers. despite the chief ursula on the line just the day before stating it sure of small gt to help afghans is to the absolute sustain. i'm 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 more people quite the opposite. that's legal. i think it is very important that we offer it legal ways to those who have to flee afghan is down because of their convictions. we must now offer them safe ways to leave the country and be accepted and will this way hungry said it
2:13 pm
won't make it. citizens pay for what it called floor american decisions, creases, migration minister and says to the country loans again, because europe's refugee gateway and the french president, manuel macro called on the members to coordinate a response against irregular my groceries flows. even germany, the state that took most migrants in the 2015 mass in flux wounds that i've kind of stunned neighbors must take asylum seekers and that the whole block agrees with that policy. however neighboring certain men stand and respect stand have taken practically no african refugees. just 14 and 13 migrant suspects of lee austria is . former foreign minister told me only a controlled migration policy can work. certain countries have announced that they will from a rated like that peak, and 2 groups of african political refugees frowns, announced they would like to take our to john, are they some other say they would like to take medical doctors that are in the
2:14 pm
area. and so they would like to pick and choose. now this is what actually, alina, my and ego asylum seeking mechanism should be involved. but i don't see it happen in this case. i mean, where were people righteous? where can people book the sites and get the family ready for moving? we simply cannot reduce the whole african, the barcode only to this migration issue. it's, it's a much, much wider is doing when it comes to security question when it comes to political responsibility. and as many of the menes over text it's, it's a complete lot of trustworthiness, of credibility of what all these call, well you know,
2:15 pm
in terms of human rights respect and sexual. and i think the destruction of an image is which will fall on our head in even much more noisy away. and then to current my question crisis. we have seen a tremendous decree of in computor. and i'm not surprised by the high degree of compet knowing a little bit, some of the organizations from the inside. some of the people who are now in the rough, high of criticism. it's, it's, it's an absence of fans of realism. it's an absence of being able to think in the category of how your politics, of human nature and of history and all that. i would say guidance is an emblematic symbols of, of what is still to come in terms of thought,
2:16 pm
tremendous crisis of whatever the west has claimed to stand for. now in the face of the overwhelming isn't mister fence if afghans have rallied across the country to show some resistance to the taliban regime in cabal crowds march through the streets denouncing the country's takeover a chanted anti taliban slogans and carried afghan flags that have become a symbol of defines, based on verified video, just purport to show a taliban fighters seizing afghan flags from a man in the street. and then slapping him in the face. women also took part in the protest 2 and it's fed. they are among the most threatened in today's taliban controlled afghanistan. since the takeover st. adverts, linkable showing female faces have been painted over the psalms of closed doors, fearing reprisals and local say that women have practically disappeared from the streets altogether, with only a very small number. daring to come out. all that,
2:17 pm
despite the tunnel bands, promises to respect women's rights, the same afghans don't have the confidence. in those words, we don't want to go back 20 years. they used force against us and broke our smartphone. and they told us that you can not freeze your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women be ashamed 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. my calling for we shall talk to the man of couple about the situation on the grabbed. they are in touch with me, they called me and they informed me that i should continue. my job 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 even get
2:18 pm
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 bond and 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. the satisfaction among rocket rank and file in the military security forces to not to fight because they didn't want to fight
2:19 pm
or something unknown. the ever thing what defines 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 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. while anger over the destruction in afghanistan has reached america to with rallies pouring onto the streets that protest against the taliban. seizing power after the u. s. coalitions, rapid withdrawal protest broke on base east and west coast from l. h. washington, d. c. demonstrate this, john. things graph can extend and by trader says amanda, the white house help struggling afghan populations. people are being persecuted,
2:20 pm
women and children do not do not have a future enough dentist and under the terrorist the taliban. so to terrorists organization, there are the same ones that have that we've dealt with in the past. us never says that we've never deal with terrorists. why? why are we sitting down on the same table and making agreements with me? i hope that's going to be a job that i'm gonna come to you guys because there are the enemy are going to meet the woman who by going to be out of the market. i think they just need a hot pretty late was know, we're going to come knocking your door. the translators are left their left bleeding. taliban are going around killing every single one of them. we're not
2:21 pm
doing anything about it. the united states government that promised every single one of these workers that wanted to come get you out there or not there. those people are dying one by one. well, the taliban now has a huge arson of high tech weapons, worth billions of dollars originally gifted by the pentagon to the afghan army. the u. s. national security advisor answered questions and all the arms left behind. those black hawks were given to the taliban. 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. meanwhile, footage from the week to show you taliban fighters parading around to bowl with
2:22 pm
american made rifles and military vehicle acquisitions. washington still trying to estimate just how much weaponry and tech has fallen in and to add insult to injury the taliban is also created a fight to oppertunity. hey, one of its special command unit stack diets in u. s. k. recreated an iconic world war 2 photo troops raising the american flag i speaking to our, he's going underground. comedian and political commentator jimmy door gave us his thoughts on his country's handling of the crisis. 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. they help the women. i say, how about the united states takes about 3 or $4000.00 troops. and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homeless people in,
2:23 pm
in los angeles. how about we invade the inner cities of america? and we bring health care to those people. we bring shelter to those people. we bring medicine to those people. we bring counseling to those people. how about we invade america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america going to care about the women? and, you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. so if you want to help people, why don't you give women and children want to give women a living wage in the united states? give them health care and give them an education. ironically, that's what the government up ganeth ended up until we invented the taliban. if you took, so there are 600000, according to statistics are 600000 homeless people in america. lot of those are women. lot of those are children. now if you gave them each a $1000.00 stipend a month, a $1000.00 a month, to go get housing. that would cost $7200000000.00 a year. 7.2000000000. you know, we've been spending 2 trillion dollars or the last 20 years, 300000000 dollars
2:24 pm
a day to kill people and get it then. so the united states ever really cared about women. they could spend a $7200000000.00 to do or take care of the homeless people in the united states. give them a 1000 that they won't do it. so yet joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell, all the leaders and both parties. they know that they're, that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers. and they don't care. ah, what are we calling from the countries collapse? questions are being raised on higher. the highly equipped afghan army was actually swept aside. we discussed the issue with guests. so despite all of america's fire power, despite all of america's allies, united states was really doomed from the very beginning, did i say, did not understand, but it was getting involved in united states culturally was so ignorant of
2:25 pm
conditions inside afghanistan that we fought the war in the completely inept way from the beginning. this is the biggest military blunder and the history of the planet. i don't think any coalition company should ever, ever again, work with the american. this is her teachers. you don't need to have ability 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 completely in unheard of. it's been, has been for so it, it feels like 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 telephone perhaps in a mindset that it can't be worse than the previous incumbent that was backed by the
2:26 pm
western powers. and without those factors in place, this rapid fall 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 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. strategically has went wrong. if not, i think this has made america's strategic foreign policy completely irrelevant. 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. nothing. you know,
2:27 pm
multiple people including 2 totally died. many of those are still missing off the flash floods. in the u. s. state of tennessee ripped through homes and cars. heavy rain cut on mobile phone service is 2 and the state national guard has been deployed to help stranded residents by a place to fight gas water cannon love a bully. protest is demanding for 3rd day the resignation and highland prime minister over his handling of the panoramic demonstrate was left in the coma de, with a bullet lodged in his head in the classroom. this rises held fireworks and projectiles . protests has got the national police headquarters, as well as blocking major motor ways through the capital bank called bowling tears . upon seeing 10000 c to seedlings in a bid to restore siberian forests destroyed by this summer's record wildfire, you can see the destruction from these pictures, hundreds of huge places of burned across an area twice the size of luxembourg in the region of your crew. here, environmental workers and students have come together on the project as local
2:28 pm
communities to try to start to rebuild their lives. so that brings you up to date us the news from the week have about more stories. so in about 30 the now we have e 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 these cigarettes or making the tobacco have been course ah, you know, mr. moser, when you said that i could, you could google. i
