[000:00:00;00] the ah, in the top stories of the week, care continues a couple airport after the taliban suite to power and i've done the stand, the last protected route to flee. the millions is reported to be closing for the next 2 days to evacuate those already inside. meanwhile, many others desperate to use it to escape remain outside the despite the devastating events of the taliban public resistance to the islamists remain among those that continue to protest. are many african women all in fear of the future. and chaotic pull out by the western coalition also leaves behind huge amount of ammunition for the insurgents,

including advanced weaponry from aircraft to armor vehicles. ah markets who have direct from our studios in moscow. recapping, weak top stories with our weekly program. this is our t international. now we start with breaking news. this our from the gulf of mexico, a blast, followed by a massive fire on a pemex oil platform is understood to left 6 people injured. the company has not yet confirmed the incident of the platform as part of mexico's largest oil field producing around 640000 barrels of oil per day. now this video that you're looking at here, purportedly shows the aftermath of the actual explosion on that oil platform. we cannot independently verify it at this point in time. but this was posted to twitter, reportedly showing that event now in early,

july and underwater fire occurred on another pemex platform in golf. and due to a gas leak, it took more than 5 hours to fully extinguish that blaze. no injuries were reported and production from the project was not effected, but it did produce some of the most amazing images that we have seen of disastrous of this time in quite some time. switching gears now to the stories that shaped the week, the tele bonds, rapid power grabbed through afghanistan has dominated the headlines this week. however, one region remains outside the groups control and the battle for it is looming. reports are coming in that the taliban is now preparing to attack the strategic passenger valley and to find afghans have fled to the region and outpost of resistance to the taliban since the 1990 s. it is just over 100 kilometers north of cobble and is surrounded by steep mountains that form a solid natural barrier. meanwhile, in cobble at least 7 civilians were killed on sunday. at the cities airport, as huge crowds continued to gather in

a desperate bid to flee. this is according to the case defense minister. the airport has been the scene of stamp crowd surgery and widespread panic since the militant group announced its take over. local media, however, are now reporting it will be shut for 48 hours to evacuate those inside, while thousands of others remain desperate to flee with all national border crossings. now run by the surgeon. the heavily guarded airport remain the only way out. president joe biden said in his speech to the nation that although 33000 people have already been evacuated from afghanistan, the u. s. is still working hard to get americans and african allies out. he added that the evacuation had been painful and last could still go wrong. let me be clear

. the evacuation of thousands of people for campbell is going to be hard and painful. no matter when it started when we began. i think when this is over, the american people have a clear understanding of what i did, why we did it, and look at the job. my job is to make judgements. my job is to make judgements. no one else can or will make. i made them. i'm convinced them absolutely correct. and it is not the 1st time buyer has defended his decision to which all troops from the country originally scheduled to be over august 30. first, the president has now admitted that deadline may have to be extended to complete. the evacuation are eager to don of breakdown 7 days of disarray with commentary about afghanistan's last exit point. 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 pictures. we've seen those hundreds of people packed into a c 17. we've seen afghans falling. there was 4 days ago, 5 days ago. it was actually 2, but that's not really the point. anyway, it was the fact that service dogs booted planes and flew to freedom while crowds fought for axis on the runway below. and the us ambassador to the un didn't seem to mind. we are in a process of trying to get people out and our friends and allies are not hanging off of planes. there are many things that can make a loving parent to give away their infant child to complete strangers in military

uniform. yet this option turned out to be preferable to having the baby learn 1st steps under the taliban. i've then 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 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 as far they've allowed them to go through and they're interested in that to 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 teller bun leader by joe biden, is far from the only person taking the flag. the german authorities scorched for evacuating beer before local staffers,

who risked 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 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 african smith who supported the more free society and who with the support of when they've gone through for democracy and women's rights and made important progress. prisons. foreign secretary is edge to step down as the media alleged, he did not help. going interpreters for the u. k. army escaped the country before the taliban takeover and possible revenge attacks. and all of this is happened with

smallest 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 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, 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, the false estimates by us intelligence officials. so as we've heard, many people have not been able to get a flight out of cobble. we spoke with a german national, who is 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 are situation like you're worse if they find out that my fiance is engaged or got married abroad. once we arrive safely in germany, we'll 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 and my fiance permission to enter germany. and while confusion reigns at the airport in the capitol itself, daily life has all but ground to a halt. local journalist took us on a tour of cobble also several days that the call will see the capital off of gun from fall into the top. and it seems that the sales is quite sharp,

that we are seeing you here. they're all clues, the bonds, the restaurant, the supermarket, that all crews. and if you see this region here, it's a completely acquired read. if you compare it with the year before we do before, before the call of capture the city, it was a very rock city for the use areas. in fact, very russian area of call. but now it's looking very why we will our majority person of the stomach, a model in the press kind of fraud, assured the people and cover that they are protected by the ton of on w w. i'd also say that it's not about leadership. i have all the to the fighters that they don't have permission to enter for any houses or to any to search and the house is built they, they are not allowed to enter. and the house has our inquiry on the government. people know i'm a year and a checkpoint of a ton of money and public safety. i bring us with the commander of the check point

. that's how they can show to security people and what they are saying. what people come up. my name is above the rock mancha chime and the major hit in the land, the camera move. it has been 18 or 20 years that we've been in the mountain. now we've captured capital city. i hope you are not set and we have not great of the problem for the terrible people. no, i see the shops and markets are closed. what's a message to the shopkeepers and owners of the market? look as i do what a good will given them freedom, they should common no combat shortly. there is no problem for them. the fight in finished and again, fighting has finished and again this done loads had animals 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 got 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 guys who is waiting for long time. it is good, but they 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 immigrant visa, which has been accepted and approved, but i still can't get to the side with getting caught up. now the telephone take over has revived major concerns about the inflow of migrants into europe with you officials openly fearing a repeat of the 2015 crisis. when more than a 1000000 flooded into the block, austria leader has today repeated his firm opposition to taking asylum seekers. those occurred despite you chief ursula vaughan their lion just the day before

stating its europe's moral duty to help stood up. so the assist type clearly opposed to us now voluntarily taking in more people and that will not happen during my chancellor's 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. 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 as i mentioned this week, hungry said that it won't make it citizens pay for what is called the flawed american decisions. greece's migration minister in the country won't again become europe, refugee gateway and french president menu, my crohn called on you members to coordinate a response against irregular migratory flows. even germany, the state that took most migrants in, in the 2015 mass in flux, ones that have dentist, dams, neighbors must take asylum seekers and that the whole block agrees with that policy,

however neighboring turkmenistan and his back then have taken practically no african refugees, just 14 and 13 migrants respectively. austria, as former foreign minister told my colleague and a farmer earlier that only a controlled migration policy can work. certain countries have announced that they will, from a freighted like that peak and 2 groups of political refugees. france announced they would like to take our to john or the some other say they would like to seek medical talk to us that are in the area. and so they would like to pick and choose. now, this is what actually alina, my and ego asylum being 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 backup 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 have stated, including means over a text it's, it's a complete loss of trustworthiness, of credibility, a what you're all of these call where you're in terms of human rights, respect, etc. and i think the destruction of an image is which will fall on our hat in a much more noisy, a way. and then the current migration crisis. we have seen a tremendous decree of in computor. and i'm not surprised by the type of thing compet knowing

a little bit to some of the organizations from the inside. some of the people who are now in the high of criticism it's, it's, it's an absence of sense of realism. it's an absence of being able to think in the category of your politics, of the human nature and of history and all that i would say a guy, this is an emblematic symbols of, of, of what is still to come in terms of tremendous crisis of whatever the wife has claimed to stand for let me put in, has dismissed a plan by western states to put african refugees in central asia according to the proposal they would have their e u. s. or e v says process there before traveling to a 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. busy vladimir pudding was 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 we are 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 as quite a humiliating approach to the issue. now putting statement 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 curtis then and said you could stand. these are all countries that are located in the central asian region where afghanistan is also located. and this especially series for to stay because it shares a common border with that dentist in. 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 military themselves. i mean, this is serious problem that the russian president has said has a direct relationship to russian national security when it comes to when we don't, once militants disguise those refugees appearing in our country, the horrors we are witnessing now enough kindness, then these horrors were on our territory not so long ago. no one wants

a repeat of that. that's why we don't when those elements are 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 what most offensive afghans have rallied across the country to show resistance to the new regime. in a couple of crowds marched through the streets, denouncing the countries take over the chance of the anti taliban slogans and carry the african national flag a burgeoning symbol of defiance. this i'm verified, video promotes to show a telephone fighter seizing national flags from a man in the street. and then swapping him in the face, women also took part in the protest. it is feared that they are among the most

threatened in today's taliban controlled afghanistan. since the take over st advertisements in couple showing female faces have been painted over beauty salons have also close their doors, fearing reprisals, locals say women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small number. daring to come out of that, despite the tele bonds promises to respect women's rights, it seems 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 told us that you cannot raise your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women be ashamed of the one who fools to protest against them to show the world that the taliban government does not have any value. not just for us,

it has no legitimacy in the world. earlier by colleagues, shay spoke to the mayor of cobble about the situation on the ground. there. they are in touch with me. they called me and they informed me that i should continue my job for seems to some that the taliban is perhaps putting on a bit of a p. r stunt at the moment, the taliban saying that they want women to have the opportunity perhaps to even get a job. it says women can perhaps even get an education. we have educated women, we have women who can provide services. we have women can, who can be part of the economy, therefore it's only logical for itala by government our, for any government to 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 upon us. 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, and file in the military and security forces to not to fight because they didn't want to fight or something unknown. be everything. 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 are on the side is not the same for 20 years ago. so there is a given take that has to take place. anger of the destruction in afghanistan has reached america as well,

with rallies pouring onto the streets to protest against the taliban seizing power . after the u. s. coalitions rapid withdraw and protest broke out on both of the east and west coasts, from allay to washington dc with demonstrators chanting free afghanistan and biden, you betrayed us. they also demanded. whitehouse helps 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, it's a terrorist 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 terror. why? why are we sitting down on the same table and making agreements with me? oh, there was not going to be a job that i'm going to come to you guys because there are the

enemy are going to enemy a woman, you know, be on the market. i think they just need a hot pretty late was know, we're gonna come knocking your door, betrays later or 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. those people are dying one by one. the tell by now has a huge arsenal of high tech weapons worth billions of dollars. originally gifted by the pentagon to the african army, the u. s. national security adviser answered questions on the arms 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 by. certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the taliban. and obviously, we don't have a sense that they are going to readily handed over to us at the airport footage from the week shows taliban fighters parading around cobble with american, made it rifles and military vehicles that they have acquired. washington, still trying to estimate just how much weaponry and tech has fallen into insurgent hands and to add insult to injury the telephone has also created a photo opportunity. one of its special command units decked out in u. s. military gear recreated and i conduct world war 2 photo of troops struggling to raise the american flag on the g ma. but this time the taliban flag was in its place. speaking to r t that going underground

u. s. comedian and political commentator jimmy door gave us his thoughts on his country's handing of handling of the crisis. do 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 africa and help the women i say, i bought in 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 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's 600000 according to statistics, there's 600000 homeless people in america. lot of those are women. lot of those are children. now if you gave them each a $1000.00 stipend a month, a $1000.00 a month to go get housing. that would cost $7200000000.00 a year. 7.2000000000. you know, we've been spending 2 trillion dollars or the last 20 years, 300000000 dollars a day to bomb and 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 yes, 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, that's a look at your weekly. i'll be back in 31 minutes with another full fresh look, stay with us. this is our to international. the look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, accept where's the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great track, rather than fear i would take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in

a robot must protect its own existence with exist. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have is crazy plantation. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only really i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. a very critical time. time to sit down and talk you know, when you go to deal with a 6 day marathon, a creativity, a multi cultural festival, and the biggest variety is the competition for a few days. became
