2:04 am
is that there are no explosions or fighting. but the best thing is there are no jobs were work at all. all departments have failed and people are tense also because i can tell if i've got some cuts out by the taliban. it has been several days that the government departments are shut down or flew. people are coming every day behind each department of the government, but they don't get permission from telephone to get inside of the government department when, when it comes to running, the can see there is presently a power vacuum. when our leaders came to couple, we have leaders, we have a president administered, all of our cabinets has been appointed. when only this take up their positions, they will tell everyone to return to work. she started calling one day. lots of people are hiding in their homes, are afraid to venture out. what is your message to them?
2:05 am
people that today or tomorrow we may ask them to return to work. we have announced the national amnesty for everyone. we are not the cannibals head. people say africa, our province because we will not tolerate off can things. we have even us, the traffic, please. not about driving. and you had to never, ever disturb people. you know, they behaved very calmly with the people from 5 to 4 provinces. i've got a son, we have only one province, which is under control of the northern opposition group. it's a party share program. they are working together, perform malicious and foreign uprising groups against the taliban. but there are reports that are part of us or would it would not. and i rooms with them to fall together or join together and pharma intrusive government. so the resistance movement we heard from the headed by mad masoud who said if the taliban refused to talk and civil was inevitable,
2:06 am
he also wrote an op ed for the washington post to which he called on the us to supply alms to his militia. if conflict does come, they're going to be facing a taliban armed with advancing west and weaponry, including aircraft and with vehicles. all left behind by coalition military forces . all see from the afghan army on this to with reports growing of replies reprisals by the taliban. any one that worked for who had a connection to foreign forces is in danger. many of managed to get up, but there's a big but family and friends have been left behind. we spoke to one of many interpreters who worked with a coalition forces during the 20 year campaign. he asked to keep his name, location secret because of fears for his family. at the moment, my, my family is not residing in our own private home. they're living in somebody's else home, they're fitting for the live a day. they cannot sleep, they're going to suppress depression because of this whole thing. and,
2:07 am
and how long to discontinue hold on to the height. i'm scared for them. i'm scared former my, my parents, the entire country is under the siege of the taliban. now that they have the, those databases and those information are pretty much to have everything about us. i believe that americans are responsible for this negligence. and today's anybody who will be killed or the result of this, their blood will be on behalf of the american government. if i knew that someday the americans will hand over this country back to the same terrorist that we started fighting in 2001. i would not have joined the ranks. i would have not worked with the americans or british forces. we did not knew that some to be there will be a betrayal from the americans and the natural forces of been contacted by many british citizens who are stuck enough to stop. one of the situation where the british citizen with his children stood in front of the base for more than 3 days
2:08 am
after being beaten by the taliban. a number of times and his children got tired, exhausted, and sick. finally, after the last time that he was beaten by the telephone, he left the airport and now is heading back to the village. and he called me and he was crying and saying that it's better to be killed by the taliban than being here . he related to the way in front of the fort in front of my kids, the wife. yeah. and the fate of african women under the new taliban rule remains. yet another major concern. this being raised worldwide hundreds took to the streets to cities across europe to show this solidarity for african women protested providing action from the governments including accepting more refugees. when expressing fears, a tele button, i go in post strict laws prohibiting women from certain aspects of public life and education rushes rudolph couldn't use agencies speaking them to human rights activist, santa jobs,
2:09 am
who explained who she thinks is responsible for the current situation. in my opinion, america is the main country who, who is responsible right now, because what they should be doing, they are not doing what they are doing is against humanity. terrorists specifically partly bonds mostly against them. and they are mostly against those women who raise their ways, who are not coming, fighting that themselves under the 4 in inside the 4 walls of the home to their cities and the target that city than that. and because they were against them, they were against those barbarians policies of them. they were against their force in imposing those terrorist on their country. that's the reason that against them. and it said the taliban is pledged to respect women's rights, but only inside the boundaries of sherry a law. the militants also encouraged women to return to work and allowed girls to return to school. but some wretches again says such statements by the taliban. a
2:10 am
mere words, in reality, women are being severely targeted right now. move to file movement members. walk members who are income level mon ending, good hot getting hiding because the there was when they did protests against the human rights violation, most of the terrorist even according to the united nations searching for them and my members, they contacted me and they told me that people i can't say people hatteras, they're searching a door to door home to home searching and they have list of those them. and they have list of the human right defenders working against their policies and they're searching for them and they are trying to, i know they will be good. i know they will be. they will be facing prosecution as well. if they got them be contacting the family member,
2:11 am
call them and they are asking them to let them know they read about. so they are in constant move and constant run from the service right now. some of them are hiding in different parts of the country. you know what is done, but they really need to be moved from the anger of the destruction in afghan stance. least american to with riley's pouring them to the streets, to protest against the taliban. seizing power off to the u. s. coalitions rapid withdrawal protests breaking out the both on the east west coast from alley to washington. d. c. demonstrate has chanting free f kennasoft and biden, you betrayed us. they also demanded that the white house helps to struggling africa population more as politicians across nato countries, lane for us and 5 in particular for the loss of i've got a son next this morning tunnel course looking more closely at the growing 20 years of occupation,
2:12 am
more than 2 trillion dollars spend hundreds of thousands dead. it's half the price tag only to get a humility being defeated and botched evacuation. in return, naturally the president had some explaining to do to the american people and majority of americans. and forgive me, i'm just the messenger no longer consider you to be competent, focused, or effective in the job. i haven't seen the only reason we're against this is a place from which been lot attack the united states of america. had this been in another middle eastern country where he could have recently moved from we would have never gone to a guest. biden's proverbial house of cards already looks as if it's coming crashing down the atlantic council called washington deer caught in headlights. the administration's job approval rating fell below that of disapproval for the 1st time ever. and the nations allies, well, they are not happy issues or catastrophe. good people. so there were some barriers
2:13 am
incredibility. one for the developing of international relations, $99.00 sharp. this is evident. it is clear that this commitment by the international community has not been successful. this is the biggest debug that nader has seen since its foundation, and it is an e book of change that we're facing out to see that commander in chief call into question. the courage of men, i forthwith to claim that they ran shameful in those who have never fought for the color of they fly, should be careful about chris lighting. those who have the united states of america bear the main responsibility for the current situation because of their decision. so leave of garrison in parts over with hasty, they have the main responsibility to make matters worse. it looks like the man donald trump famously branded, sleepy joe might have been snoozing while all this was going on. i have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. i've spoken with our
2:14 am
nato allies spoken with nato allies, the secretary state or national security via has been in contact with his counterparts throughout the world. and our allies, as has the general or excuse me, i keep calling them in general, but my secretary defense the fact of the matter is i have not seen a matter of fact the exact opposite. i've got, this is about america leading the world and all our allies have agree with that. the seemingly out to lunch attitude and utter fiasco that took place under the current administration has drawn criticism from not just biden's rivals, but from fellow party members as well. i'm disappointed that the button administration clearly did not accurately assess the implications of a rapid us withdrawal. the images we saw coming out of of going to stop, show a tremendous humanitarian crisis. this is going to hurt us. no question about it. i think of janice town, his last, every terrorist around the world is cheering. they have watched the taliban defeat
2:15 am
america. in effect, president buttons, poor judgment produced the worst possible outcome in afghanistan in only a matter of weeks. even criticism from the media was generally bipartisan secretary blink. and how did president bite and get this so wrong? how could officials have miss? how did it happen? how do we get here? does president abide not bear the blame for this disastrous exit from afghanistan? another 3 years of fighting and we're going to be lucky if we have a single ally left. america is back. that was biden's famous promise. but after a colossal failure in america's longest war, ever, many are starting to wonder if he meant america's turning its back on everyone's trust. the taliban take his revive. major concerns about the inflow of migrants into europe with facial openly fearing, repeat the 2015 crisis. when more than a 1000000 flooded into the block, austria is lita repeating his firm opposition to taking an asylum seekers. it comes
2:16 am
to spite you chief of underline, stating that over the weekend she said it was europe's moral duty to help is to the absolute sustain. clearly opposed to now voluntarily taking in more people and that will not happen during my child from 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. we all for legal ways to those who have to flee afghan is down as because of their conviction. we must now offer them a way to leave the country and be accepted. and in time some western countries are seeking to house thousands of african refugees fleeing from the taliban in central asian countries and neighboring to have got to stand until the visas are ready. while president poach rejected valid idea, pointing to the pitfalls of the plan. pretty much now, western partners frequently raised the questions of accommodating african refugees
2:17 am
in central asian countries before they get to us visa or some other one. so you can send people without a visit to these countries to our neighbors, but they don't want to take them without the visas to their own countries. there's quite a humiliating approach to the issue. we discuss possible consequences of the african crisis for the west. austria is form of foreign minister, simply cannot with you the whole african backup only to this migration issue. it's a much, much wider when it comes to security question. when it comes to political responsibility . it's a complete loss of trustworthiness, of credibility, a what you all of the core where you're in terms of human rights respects, etc. and i think the destruction of an image is which will fall on our heads in even maximal noisy away. and then,
2:18 am
and then the current migration crisis, we have seen a tremendous degree of in competence. and i'm not a high degree of compet knowing a little bit because some of the organizations from the inside of the people who are now in the profile 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 how your politics of human nature and of history i would be guided is an emblematic symbol off of what is still to come in terms of tremendous crisis. whatever the, what has claimed to stand for. yes, a huge tor we're going to continue to cover it now. but turning away from that
2:19 am
special report kind of helps the break. i want to tell you about having to stick around to watch it or not. international concerns, growing over cases of friends, identify men being placed in female prisons worldwide, and some run for cations of that. so it's a story especially, got lined up few after this, right? ah, better survival, good day to here's my ball is going to start at the federal reserve shirt . so there are you don't get it back. no refrigeration came. well look at the rest, the 7 years bill it separately or what kind of report the
2:20 am
2:21 am
the mainstream media, so that's why we're across it for you. in the latest of a series of reports, we're looking at the problem of transgender convict abusing female inmates in prisons around the globe. a growing number of women say their lives have been turned into a living hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. while one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after a predatory male offender who identified as a woman was sent to that prison. the walk in on him have inspecting the gym in the ball for him, making out with someone else and wanting to re sign with me for women really the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption that it provides protection from age and habitat is be
2:22 am
mean the one to one day telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get me . it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable. charlotte, in the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me she was in love with me. it was weird. he asked me to read for him and the girl i started making with her and feeling her out well, i was there he brag, told many girls his last 3 years. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to get details as well as the air when it, when they're worth your of us getting there. it was in the living room do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the braces are inside women's jails. rating our women men are using this loophole to access
2:23 am
already vulnerable women who have no voice platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may be where he requested comments from kind of his correctional service about the allegations we're going to bring the response as well as when we get it for the day. no, i'm gonna leave you for now with a long report coming up. correspondence ask a taylor speaking to activist has a mason who shed light on the story of the canadian convict. at the sharing her own experience of abuse by transgender as a prison. oh, in fact, i want to get a sense of your time inside, and specifically, how trans inmates affected your experience. i was incarcerated with trans individuals in provincial. that was the 1st time i came across it. and then again,
2:24 am
when i went to the federal and that was when they actually put them on compound with us, instead of segregating them away from us. and they didn't have to have surgery. so that happened in 2017. and what was your reaction when you love the trans inmates living in the compound with you? well, i was actually really freak doe in provincial because they brought me over to the indirect supervision range. and there is a sex offender there that was fully intact and he was there hiding out because of his crimes. that's what the guard told me anyway, that he was trying to peek into my style when they're searching me. so that was my very 1st experience of that, but when i got to federal and i was told that there are men on compound with us, i was blown away. i didn't believe it. i couldn't believe that they were putting males in women's presence. i was actually harassed by one of them when i was inside,
2:25 am
used to get me to try to walk back and forth in front of them so that they could check out my but lots of other comments as well. and then i was also in the halfway has with a male who had fully intact and it was like walking on egg shells. we got into a few like altercation just like verbally, but there, but there are more now that i have transferred, that have been in with my friends and women that i've been inside with. are you worried that there are people who are going to use the system in order to end up in a female prison and then come out and decide that he's a man again? well, yeah, there's nothing to prevent them. if they claim transgender identity, you can't say that they're not transgender because you're discriminating against their identity or their expression, and even the one, but do get denied training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is
2:26 am
a complaint system or correctional services with canada. and when they're complaint, it's not resolved, they're bringing it to the human rights tribunal. so when they, when these cases, it opens the door to what's going on at the united states right now. so they got to have that cases, hud. how about you? did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you felt about incident you described of sexual assault and it's so how did they react? so as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are set or so the grievance system and the human rights tribunal. we're just not, we're not taught about it. we don't understand how the system works. and for the most part, women are there. they're dealing with so much trauma, like a lot of them are like constitution, drug addiction and abuse their entire lives. they just accept it as another thing that's happened to them. it's reality of being female. so there are
2:27 am
complaints and there are grievances, but not enough. women are speaking out because they're scared. did any of your fellow female prisoners have similar experiences to you? yeah. some of my friends were like, pushed up against the wall in the laundry room and a hard time shut down their throats. they've had their breasts or their touch, sexual comments. a few of them have been sexually assaulted, so to speak to a lot of women that have been incarcerated. and the stories are very similar, same with physical altercation. they've never been punched in the face so hard. they're starting to carry weapons around, which is not a normal thing for women that are incarcerated in canada. they're putting soup cans and socks because they know that they're fighting males and not women. and there's the really, really big power difference between them. candidates,
2:28 am
prison system allows men to choose to solve a sentence in a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they don't need to undergo any thought true or hormone therapy. that what is enough fuel far to say this is in the name of the quality and to ensure the safety of transgender is the low change was pushed for by prime minister justin trudeau. himself, will you do your best to ensure that transform or put in prison or prison more appropriate to their gender identity? yes, i will ensure that i consider myself to be a fairly strong advocate for for l g b t q 2 issues and, and fairly aware of all the different pressures. and this wasn't one that i had ever thought of. so thank you. have a mason whom we just heard from, says the government has to rethink its approach to the whole issue. nobody wants to
2:29 am
speak about it. they don't want to report on it. we're being told that we're lying, that it's not happening, that we're going to use that return. so back there's literally no discussion about it. there is no discussion before any of the policies that were implemented. and i feel like there are solution to this. they have the room in men's institutions, have wings and dorms, and they can make l g b, t q wings, better tailored to their unique name because their needs are different than women's names. so they have the room, they don't have to build present. and then they can take care of the entire community and not just the black view that are being transferred into the women's prison right now. but also there are trans men, so those are female to identify as men and their deny transfer due to overriding health and safety concerns because there's not faith in men's presence. so this is a one sided policy that only benefits mail to still have their peanut. because we
2:30 am
took mail who have had surgery since at least 1982 over in the united states. similar concerns have been raised, for example, by the case of tonight at one row, a transgender woman in enjoy who was transferred from a mens prison to a women's facility that was after she alleged mail inmates had sexually harassed her, but in her new prison monro herself was accused of raping a female inmate at the thought of the california past its own controversial law. now it allows trans inmates to be transferred to facilities that align with that gender identity below was adopted in january by may, over 216 transfer requests had been made. and that left some female convex very worried. i will not be victim any more. i have endured sexual abuse as young as 4 to 8 and with the rape as well as you may.
