5:05 am
coming every day behind each department of the government, but they don't get permission from telephone to get inside of the government department. dolock so that when it comes to running the country, there is presently a power vacuum. when our leaders came to couple, we have lead and we have a president administered. all of our cabinets has been appointed. when only this take up their position, they will tell everyone to return to work. she started calling them people that today or tomorrow we may ask them to return to work. we have announced the national amnesty for everyone. we are not cannibals, head people say africa. brothers, we will not tolerate off can thing. we have even a topic, please. not with the about dr. is and what you had been to never, ever disturb people. you know, they behaved very calmly with the people from 2 to 4 provinces. got a son. we have only one province, which is under control of the northern opposition groups. share, proven. they are working here that the farm militia farm appraised the roof against
5:06 am
the taliban. but there are reports that bill had about all in the sand. would it? would it not? i was grooves with them to fall together or join together and form an intrusive government. well, the resistance movement be heard about headed by mad masoud, who says if the taliban refuses talks and civil was inevitable, he said he also wrote and paid in the washington post in which he called only us to supply alms to his militia. conflict does come, of course they're going to be facing a taliban onto the western weaponry, including a craft and armored vehicles all left behind by coalition military forces or sees from the african army other elements to this. there are so many to brief you on, but with reports growing of reprisals by the color by this is a worry all along. we reported on have rages. anyone that worked for or had a connection to foreign forces is in danger. many of managed to get out,
5:07 am
but that's cold comfort for the family and friends who've been left behind associated with these guys. we spoke to one of many interpreters who worked for the coalition forces during the 20th campaign to keep his name and location secret for obvious reasons. 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, 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 as a result of this, their blood will be on behalf of the american government. if i knew that
5:08 am
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 understand. 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 detail about a number of times and his children got tired, exhausted, and sick. finally, after the last time that he was beaten by the taliban, 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 airport in front of my kids and wife.
5:09 am
meantime, the clock is ticking. how does a scale and complexity of getting people out of afghanistan becomes clear? there's this news. the taliban has warned the us today and other foreign powers have consequences if a complete withdrawal of their troops is not carried out by the 31st august deadline. that's contentious then it comes as president biden said, only sunday that they may have to stay past then. britton's prime minister barak johnson, reportedly using an emergency summit. the g 7 today, monday to ask washington indeed to keep its forces beyond the 31st to allow evacuation their lives to continue. most countries saying there's no way in the world that could get everybody out all their nationals by then, so that could be a hotspot. and then there's the fate of african women under the new taliban rule remaining. yet another major concern that's been raised worldwide, hundreds, in fact taken to the streets of cities across europe to show the solidarity with the african women protested to money action from the governments including
5:10 am
accepting will ref, fuji's, men expressing fears the taliban go to impose strict laws prohibiting women from certain aspects of public life and education rushes. rudolf can use agency speaking them to one human rights activists just who explained who in her mind 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 bonds. they are mostly against of him, 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's the reason that is because they were against them. they were against those barbarians policies of them. they were against of their force in imposing those terrorist on their country. that's the reason against them
5:11 am
. what it is to the taliban is pledged to respect women's rights, but only inside the boundaries. a sheree, a law. the military also encourage women to return to work and allowed girls to return to school. son or again, things such statements by the taliban merely words though in reality she says women being severely targeted. now move still further movement. members walk members who are income level money and good. hi, dad. in hiding it because the there was when they did protests against the human rights relation, 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 don't, henry. 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
5:12 am
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 members, they call them and they are asking them to let them know they read about. so they are in constant move constant around 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 and growth of destruction. i've got times reached american to the rallies pouring into the streets to protest against the taliban, seizing power on the u. s. coalitions. rapid withdrawal protests for breaking at east to west, from allay to washington dc demonstrates charging free of kennesaw inside and you betrayed it. also demanding, the whites has helped the struggling off can population politicians across nato countries, blaming the us and bite in particular for the loss of i've got this done. done
5:13 am
a quarter next 20 years of occupation. more than 2 trillion dollars spend hundreds of thousands dead. it's half the price tag only to get a humiliating defeat and botched evacuation in return. naturally the president had some explaining to do to the american people, image 40 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 it. 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 easily moved from we would have never gone to fighting 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. catastrophe,
5:14 am
definitely. people. for there were some barriers include the ability, 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 debacle that later has seen since its foundation, and it is an e book of change that we're facing to see that commander in chief call into question the courage of men, i. colquitt, to claim that they ran shameful. in those who have never fought for the colors 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, said looks like the man, donald trump famously branded, sleepy joe might have been snoozing while all this was going on. i have seen no
5:15 am
question of our credibility from our allies around the world. i've spoken with our nato allies who spoken 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 the 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 a rapid us withdrawal. the images we saw coming out of going to start show a tremendous humanitarian crisis. this is going to hurt us. no question about it. i
5:16 am
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 blank, and how did president bite and 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 is turning its back on everyone's trust will keep across it after the break. so the completely different special report concerns growing over cases of trends, identify men being placed in female prisons worldwide. and in some cases the
5:17 am
consequences the ah, with me ah ah, i use
5:18 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, 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 the next in the latest of a series of reports were looking at the problem of transgender convicts, abusing female inmates and presence around the globe. a growing number of women's and their lives have been turned into a living. hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most tories cases and we got to canada, the women finding themselves in danger for a predatory male offender who identified as a woman was sent to their prison. the
5:19 am
was in on him have inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re son 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 8th and habitat is b. mean the laundry room one day, telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get with me. it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable. charlotte and the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me he was in love with me. it was weird. he asked me to read for him and the 0. i started making with her and feeling her out. well, i was there
5:20 am
he breck, how many girls his last year, and he also bragged about stacy ben girls, virginity in the library to get details as well as the error when it, when they're worth your of us speaking. 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 already vulnerable. women who have no voice, so platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may i can tell you we requested comment from kansas correctional service about the allegations we're going to bring in the responses when it comes in. i'm going to leave you with correspondence. jessica taylor in another very in depth reports about all this. this time she speaks to activists had the mason,
5:21 am
who shed light on the story of the canadian conflict of shit. her own experience too, of abuse by transgender is imprison. oh, i saw i wants 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, 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 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
5:22 am
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 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 males in women's presence. i was actually 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 has fully intact and it was like walking on egg shells. 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,
5:23 am
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 the complaint system for correctional services with canada. and when their complaint is not resolved, they're bringing it to the human rights tribunal. did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you felt about incident you described of sexual assault? and if so, how did they react? so. a as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are set up, right? 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 prostitution, drug addiction, and have been abused their entire lives. they just accept it as another thing
5:24 am
that's happened to them as 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? 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. are there times actual comments? a few of them happens actually 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
5:25 am
been really, really big power difference between them. candidates prison system allows men to choose to solve a sentence in a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me 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 trans genders. the law change was pushed for by prime minister justin trudeau. himself. will you do your best to ensure that transform are 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,
5:26 am
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, that we're going to use that returns 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 needs over in the united states, similar concerns have been raised. for example, by the case of janai at one row, a transgender woman in illinois 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
5:27 am
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 216 transfer requests had been made. and that left some female convicts 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 numerous main staff correctional officers being an appropriate ever since california is 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, a har on a co founder of partners for ethical care. and founder of the agenda mapping project,
5:28 am
she says the well being of women prisoners is simply of no interest to legislators . senate bill 132 is is, is it 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, gavin newsome and got 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 at top ortiz keeping a close eye on similar developments in the us and elsewhere in the world. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to cotton. ah,
5:29 am
