4:04 am
a game with the african people who maybe don't follow the problem. if you came back to normal life, most of the shops are open. we can see more traffic more via it goes in the industry. but though i'm ready to ask the question for people who open the truck recently has been over for 2 or 3 days. the good thing about the talbot run and things here 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. the also because it can be telephone gun, some captured by the taliban. it has been several days that the government departments are shut down or flew. people who are coming every day behind each department of the government,
4:05 am
but they don't get permission from telephone to get inside of the government department for the 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 they take up their positions, they will tell everyone to return to work. she's time caught on the donuts. lots of people are hiding in their homes, are afraid to venture around. what is your message to them? people that today or tomorrow we may ask them to return to work. we have announced the national amnesty. everyone, we are not the cannibals head. people say africa. our province, but we will not tolerate off can things we have even us, the traffic please. not about driving and you had to never disturb people. you know, they behave very calmly with the people from 5 to 4 provinces of got a son. we have only one province, which is under control of the not an opposition group. it's
4:06 am
a party share program. they are working together, the farm militia farm uprising groups against the taliban. but there are reports that bill or how about all in the would it would not. and i was rules with that might lead to fall together or join together and pharma intrusive government. well, the resistance movement we heard from this, headed by masoud, who says if the taliban refused talks, then civil was inevitable. they also wrote an open in the washington post to which he called on the us to supply to his militia. because if conflict does come, they're going to be facing a taliban armed with advanced western weaponry, including aircraft anom with vehicles all left behind by coalition, military forces, all seized from the african army and other elements. see it with reports growing of reprisals by the taliban. anyone the word for who had a connection to foreign forces is in danger. many of managed to get out, but that doesn't help the family and friends left behind. we spoke to one of the
4:07 am
many interpreters and worked with the coalition forces. during the 20th campaign, he asked to keep his name and location secret because of fees 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 they live a day. they cannot sleep, they're going to suppress depression because of this whole thing. and, and how long to discontinue a whole lot them behind. i'm scared for them. i'm scared former my, my parents, the entire country is under the siege of taliban. now that they have 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 as a result of this. their blood will be on behalf of the american government
4:08 am
or 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 with the british citizen with his children stood in front of the base for more than 3 days 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 d a port 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 port in front of my kids, the wife. meantime, adding into the you know,
4:09 am
the 2nd week she was saying of the telephone, big in charge. there may be clues about where it's going to go new in for you. the taliban warning the u. s. foreign powers, today's troops are still in the country that quote, will be serious consequences. if a complete withdraw is not carried out, but the 31st of august deadline, it comes as president biden said on sunday, the troops may have to stay passed. then britain, this prime minister boris johnson, reportedly using to an emergency g. 7 summit. monday to ask washington to keep its forces beyond the 31st to allow evacuation lives to continue, but some indication that it will the telephone. think about that this morning. and then there's the fate of african women. honda, the new taliban rule remaining. we had a major concern and it's been raised worldwide, hundreds taken to the streets of cities across europe to show this solidarity with those africa. women protested demanding action from the government's including
4:10 am
accepting more refugees. many expressing big fears. the taliban will impose strict laws prohibiting willing from certain aspects of public life and education. russia's read off can use agency speaking to a human rights activist called santa jars. she explains 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're not doing what they are doing is against humanity. terrorists, specifically, paula bon, i'm mostly against of him and they are more. he again, those women who raise their ways, who are not coming, fighting that themselves under the, for inside the, for was of the home. so that's 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,
4:11 am
again for me. but it said the tele bonds pledge to respect women's rights, but only inside the boundaries of sheree a law. the militants also encouraged women to return to work and have allowed the girls to return to school. but sondra jazz says such statements by the taliban in her view, a mere words. in reality, she says women have been severely targeted. right now, most of them are movement. members walk members who are income, who, who love mine and good. hi, dad, in hiding because they was, when they did protests against the human rights violations, most of the terrorists, 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
4:12 am
a 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 for c q did i know they will be, they will be facing prosecution as well. if they got them be contacting the family member, call them and they are asking them to let them know they read about. so they are in constant move 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 that place. anger of the destruction of kind of sounds reached america to rallies pouring under the streets to protest against the taliban season. after the u. s. coalitions rapid withdraw, protest breaking out and to tell you about both on the east and west coast through malaise and washington d. c. with demonstrators, johnson, 3 of got to stand by you betrayed us. they also demand to the white house,
4:13 am
helps struggling us population more as politicians across made. so countries blamed the u. s. a bite in particular for the loss of afghanistan donal quarter. next us monday morning. then looking at the growing anger over it, 20 years of occupation, more than 2 trillion dollars spent hundreds of thousands dead. it's half the price tag only to get a humiliating feet and botched evacuation in return. naturally the president had some explaining to do to the american people, 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 ben lot attacked the united states of america. had this been in another middle eastern country where he could have easily moved from we would have never gone to gas. biden's proverbial house of cards already looks as if it's coming crashing down the atlantic council called washington deer caught in
4:14 am
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. catastrophe is their good people for there were some barriers, incredibility, one for the developing of international relations, 99 sharp. this is evident. it is clear that this commitment by the international community has not been successful. this is the biggest debacle that nature has seen since the foundation and it is in the book of change that we are facing to see that commander in chief call into question, the courage of men i fought with to claim that they ran shameful in those who have never fought for the color of they fly. should be careful about christ lighting. those who have the united states of america bear the main responsibility for the current situation because of their decisions leave of
4:15 am
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 nato allies. we spoke with nato allies, the secretary state or national security via he's been in contact with his counterparts throughout the world. and our allies, as has the general r b. 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 agreed 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
4:16 am
a rapid us withdrawal. the images we saw coming out of of going to start 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 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 buying get this so wrong? how could officials have missed fish? 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
4:17 am
trust. don't call to the, it's a huge story. we're going to continue following it. this is an interesting one, but all paid but serious one to we got it in a special report kind of an in depth after the break concerns growing and over cases of friends, identifying man being placed in female prisons worldwide. and in some cases, the ramifications of that pledge seconds away. oh, i use use
4:18 am
4:19 am
a subject we feel is not getting enough exposure in the mainstream media. that's why we're on it. in the latest of a series of reports, we're looking at the problem of transgender convict abusing female inmates in prison around the globe. a growing number of women say their lives have been turned into a living hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger for a predatory male offender who identified as a woman, was sent to their prison. the whole was in an aim, have inspecting the dream in the ball for him, making out with someone else and wanting to re some with me for women in the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption,
4:20 am
but it provides protection from 8th and habitat is the mean, the laundry room one day, telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get his name. he was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable shell in the house with him and everything . he tried to tell me she was in love with me. it was weird asking to re for him to grow and started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there. he brag, told many girls his last week there, and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to get details, as well as the error when it's when they're worth your of us thinking it was in the living room. do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the
4:21 am
braces are inside women scales rating. our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable. women who have new voice, so platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may raven to shocking cancer. walk until we requested comments from canada's correctional service, about the allegations were yet to bring that responses when they get back to us. but i'm gonna leave, you know, with a correspondence, husky, taylor and another of her in debt reports about all this time. she speaks activist has a mason, who shed light on the story of the canadian convict, have shed her own experience of abuse by transgender years in 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
4:22 am
with trans individuals and provincial. that was the 1st time i came across it. and then again, when i went to 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 that was 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 bully intact, and he was there hiding out because of his crimes. that's what the guards 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 the 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
4:23 am
males in women's presence. i was sexually harassed by one of them when i was inside 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 transfer that happening 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
4:24 am
identity or their expression and even the one but do get denied training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or a correctional service canada. and when their complaints not resolve, 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 hear that cases, hud. how about you? did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you thought about incident you described of sexual assault and it's so how did they react? so. a 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 leg, a lot of them are like constitution,
4:25 am
drug addiction and have been abused their entire lives. they just accept it as another thing that's happened to them. it's reality of being female. so there are 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? yes. 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 i 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,
4:26 am
really big power difference between them. candidates prison system allows men to choose to solve the sentence in a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me to undergo any sod, true, or hormone therapy. that what is enough? the far to say this is in the name of the quality and to ensure the safety of transgender is the law 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
4:27 am
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 speak about it. they don't want to report on it. we're being told that we're lying, that it's not happening, not going to use that return. so back there's literally no discussion about it. there was 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 that have wings and dorms, and they can make l g b, t q, wing, 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 prison. 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 females to identify as men and their deny transfer due to overriding health and safety concerns because there's not faith in men present. so this is
4:28 am
a one sided policy that only benefits mails you still have their peanut. because we 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 off to 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. the law was adopted in january by may, over 260 transfer requests had been made and not flesh some female convicts, very worried. i will not be victim any more. i have endured sexual abuse as young
4:29 am
as 4 to 8 and with the rape, as well as numerous main staff correctional officers being an appropriate ever since california se, as b one for 2 has passed, i have been living in constant fear. i can't mentally function without fear. if the men come here, please help us. i'm scared just because they feel like a woman doesn't mean their penis doesn't work. we discuss california law with alex har on a co founder partners for ethical and founder of the agenda mapping project. she says the well being of women prisoners is simply of no interest to legislators. senate bill 132 is, is, is sentencing women who have committed whatever crime to the punishment of sexual violence at the hands of meals. and i think that in terms of the pyramids of nice,
4:30 am
gavin newsome and scott winner and every other enabler who had the largest to happen, views, the feelings of, and the physical safety of incarcerated women at the bottom of that pyramid of needs. when we of course understand it has to be a top ortiz keeping a close eye on similar developments in the u. s. and for the world. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to com. ah, the ah, ah
