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 been, women, took the groups, promises to treat them fairly with a huge pinch of salt too. but to take them is a to 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 it 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 teller bun leader. but joe biden is far
4:05 pm
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 oh, 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 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 merkle had to openly admit that the african nation billing experiment was a mistake. i didn't succeed and weren't accomplished as we had planned. that is
4:06 pm
a realization and the middle one 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, he did not help. african 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 u. s. was caught unawares and i think once
4:07 pm
again, they have failed to analyze what the situation was. it really puts on full display the delusions of the u. s. which after all, has been in afghanistan for almost 20 years. consuming, according to some estimates, 2 trillion dollars. this money has not gone to the benefit of the afghan people, obviously. and this whole enterprise has been very bad for the american people as well. many us soldiers have died. the good thing about exposing the delusions of the us empire and the neoconservative 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 says we've heard then many people
4:08 pm
have not been able to get a flight out of cabal. we spoke with a german national. he'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 a free and democratic country. that's where i want to return to. that's where i
4:09 pm
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 while confusion that reigns at the airport in the city of couple itself. a life is all but ground to a halt. local journalist took us on a tow also several days that the call will see the capital of a gun or 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 3? if you compare it with the year before we do a month before, before the telephone capture the city, it was a very rock city where the use area is in fact a very rough area of call. but now it's very looking very why we will our majority
4:10 pm
this person does not make a model in a press kind of frog assured the people and cobbled that they are protected by the ton of on w w w. it's also saying that it's not making about leadership, but have all that to the fighters that they don't have permission to enter for any houses or to i need to search. i know how it is. i didn't go they, they are not allowed to enter. the house is our inquiry, and the government people know i'm here in a checkpoint of a ton of money in public. i broke off with commander of the check fine. that's how they can. i showed the security people and what they are saying, what did people call up? my name is above the ra mancha child and the merger hidden a lot in the camera move in. it has been 18 and 20 years that we've been in the mountains now would capture capital city. i hope you are not set and we have not great of the problem for the cabin people. now i see the shops and markets are closed. what's the message to the shopkeepers and owners of the market?
4:11 pm
look as i do what a good will given them freedom should come and open the shop. there is no problem for them and the fight in finished and again fighting has finished. and again, this done, there is no g animal before this have gone to her. now we should come together and save our country. and this is one of the cobble international airport get lots of people are just gather here to get charles to get inside of the airport security forces that they don't make anyone 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? how long have you been behind this gate spin 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
4:12 pm
immigrant visa which has been accepted and approved but i still can't get inside music getting not the taliban takeover as also revived. major concerns about the inflow of migrants into europe with the u. officials openly fearing a repeats of the 2015 christ is when more than a 1000000 flooded into the blog. austria leader has today repeated his firm opposition to taking asylum seekers despise he. chief 1st seller on the line just the day before stating your moral gc. to help afghans is to the absolute est, clearly opposed to us now, voluntarily taking in more people and that will not happen during my chance and the ship. i'm not of the opinion that we should take in more people quite the opposite . that's legal. i think it is very important that we all for 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 this way, hungary said it won't make it. citizens pay for what it called fluid american
4:13 pm
decisions. greece's migration minister insist that the country once again become europe, refugee gateway. and the french president, one micron called on the members to coordinate and response against the regular migrates re flows. even germany, the state that's most migrants in the 2015 mass in flux wounds that i've got stunned neighbors must now take asylum seekers and that the whole block agrees with that policy. however neighboring to administer was beckett's and it was, pakistan have taken practically, no african refugees. just 14 and 13 migrants respectively or 3, as former foreign minister told me, only a control migration policy could work. certain countries have announced that they will, if i made freighted like that i think and 2 groups of political refugees frowns, announced they would like to take our to john or the some other say they would like
4:14 pm
to take medical socks that are in the area and so they would like to pick and choose. now this is what actually anita my and me go 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 ask on the back of only to this migration issue it's, it's a much, much wider when it comes to security questions 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, in terms of human rights respect and sexual. and i think the destruction of an
4:15 pm
image is which will fall on our hat in the maximum noise away. and then the current migration crisis. we have seen a tremendous decree of in computor. and i'm not surprised by the type 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 your politics, of human nature and of history. and all that, i would say, guidance is an emblematic symbol of,
4:16 pm
of what is still to come in terms of tremendous crisis of whatever the west has claimed to stand for. while the russian president vladimir putin has dismissed the plan by western states to put african refugees in central asia, according to the proposal they would have the u. s. e visa's process before traveling to their 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 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
4:17 pm
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, western partners frequently raised the question of accommodating african refugees in central asian countries before they get a u. s. 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 as 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 it's members. states are because exxon could kurdistan and surgical 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 the dentist. and,
4:18 pm
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 a serious problem that the russian president has said has a direct relationship to russian 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 to repeat that. that's why we don't when those elements coming from then. 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. and course that will in the face of the overwhelming is the missed offensive. afghans have rally across the country to show resistance to the taliban regime in couple cried march through the streets
4:19 pm
denouncing the country takeover. they chanted anti taliban slogans and carried african flags to have become a symbol of defines the scene. unverified video to support to show though a taliban fighters seizing afghan flags from a man in the street and slapping him in the face. women also took part in the protest. there is fear they are among the most threatened in today's taliban controlled afghan. stan, since to tell you st. adverts in cabal showing female faces have been painted over the salons of close their 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 or that spite the taliban promises to respect women's rights. well, it does seem that afghans don't have much confidence. in those words. we don't want to go back 20 years. they used force against us and broke our smartphone. and they
4:20 pm
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. i call it very, shall you talk to the man of cabal about the situation on the ground in the city. 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 said 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 bond government our for any government to
4:21 pm
make sure that we take advantage of that the issue of women has to be dealt with in the context of human rights and islam of course, within that context, there are freedoms. we cannot deny that from the women of i'll punish them. 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 fall upon, resentment of how things were managed. the 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
4:22 pm
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 a given take that has to take place. well, anger over the destruction in afghanistan has reached america to with rallies pouring onto the streets that protest against the taliban. seizing power half the u . s. coalitions rapid with troll protests broke out from both east and west coast. from l. a. to washington d. c. with demonstrates as chanting pre africana stan and biden, you betrayed us. they also demanded the white house helps to struggling afghan population. people are being persecuted, women and children do not do not have a future enough dentist and under the terrorist the taliban terrorists organization . there are the same ones that have that we've dealt with in the past. the u. s.
4:23 pm
never says that we've never deal with terra why. why are we sitting down on the same table and making agreements with me at home? that was not going to be a job that i was going to come to you guys because there are the enemy and the me woman, you know, be out of the market. the, they just need a hot play late was no doubt come knocking your door. the translators are left their left bleeding. taliban are going around killing every single one of them. we're not 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.
4:24 pm
those people are dying, one by one. well, the taliban now has a he, johnson of high tech weapons worth billions of dollars originally gifted by the pentagon to the afghan army. the u. s. national security advisor did answer questions and all of the arms that were left behind. those black hawks were given to the tall one. they were given to the african national security forces to be able to defend themselves. we don't have a complete picture obviously of where every article of defense materials has gone, 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 for the, from the week to show taliban fighters parading around campus with american made rifles and military vehicle acquisitions. washington still trying to estimate just how much west and re and tag has fallen into the hands of the insurgents. not to insult to injury the taliban is also created

4:26 pm
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 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 gavin than did 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
