consequences if the pentagon withdrawal deadline isn't map on the 31st of august, that is britain's prime minister plans to press washington for more time to get people out. ah, why that life from moscow? this is arthur international. i'm calling bray with the world news this our focusing on afghanistan. of course, that's entering the 2nd week on the near total taliban control. washington's reportedly changed its policy now and who's allowed to enter cobble airport for monday, early american nato citizens, as well as us green card holders will be allowed through the airport gates. no further space has as yet been allocated for afghans who worked with foreign troops and justly for monday morning, the german military set of 5 fight broke out at the port between afghan security forces, an unknown perpetrators. one office has been killed, 3 others are injured. the transport pretty much the only way out of the country was

close to new entrance all day sunday. and it's going to stay that way for the next 24 hours or so to try to evacuate the thousands of people who all ready inside. and since the evacuation started, 20 have been confirmed, killed and crushes and stampedes with thousands more waiting outside the airport in the hope of fleeing the country. a local journalists told us the situation on the ground. ah, the only foreign military flights are updated from inside of cobbler international airport. have a great day foreign diplomats and i've gone teachers who work for international troops and for other enjoys for us. i got information that now the cobbled gifts have been shut down for 48 hours to create people that they are already inside of the airport. now we are, and one of the rushes gate of college or national airport,
11:03 am
you can see that we still 100 people are waiting outside of the gate. hope to get a chance to go inside of the airport. ah, audio is my work for only 3 years for foreign troops. all my documents are approved for the 3rd day. i'm coming here to be told my documents are invalid, only us passport. get you here. america is the problem. they create these challenges. that cheating we get people playing a game with the afghan people probably came back to my life. most of the shops are open. we can see more traffic more right. goes in the street though, i'm ready to ask a question. some people who opened the shops, essentially,
11:04 am
my shop has been open for 2 or 3 days. the good thing about the taliban run and things here is that there are no explosions or fighting, but the bad thing is there are no jobs or work at all. all departments have failed and people are tense. the all 30 congress if you pick up the telephone gun at some capture by the taliban, it has been several days that the government departments are shut down. are fluid. people are coming every day behind the department of the government, but they don't get permission from telephone to get inside of the government department. when it comes to running the country, there is presently a power vacuum. when our leaders came to couple, we have leaders. we have a president's administer, our cabinets has been appointed. when only this take up their positions, they will tell everyone to return to work. she started caught on the docks. lots of people are hiding in their homes. afraid to venture out,
11:05 am
what is your message to them? i tell 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 here to people. they are off guns, our brothers. we will not tolerate afghans being disturbed. we have even us the traffic place to not disturb our drivers. and our merger had been to never, ever disturb afghan people. they behaved very calmly with the people away from the politics. a disturbing un report warned, stood africana stands faces an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse and less financial aid is sent urgently. well, here's what the un secretary just do. this edition remains to be tens needs are enormous. nearly half of the population or systems, half of the children are 5 or in tax and fees, their own tradition. basically nothing to eat and
11:06 am
almost 600000 people. please continue to use radish countries. every one on this done. it really is a global issue. i've gotten respond ease and we how we're looking at the international community. we are malleable, the live site, they, we really own stuff. the help of them will determine so many things in the future. they look at the human and they may be the woman that we've been getting, the natural disasters. we act as development, everyone one of the major issues we try to factor in is how much of the natural disasters are going to be in the driving of what is happening. and for me as managerial for me, for someone who looks for us. and i also like to say that over the years
11:07 am
we have so much on this component of what the drive and how much we focused on the education, how much we focused on health, how much is what was social will be moving forward. the should learn the lesson that every time that we pay attention to reach are so watch in the sense that all the new political issues due to issues that somehow they forget about the social needs of people. the limitation right now is local funding limitations right now these the consequences or the military conflicts. but the most important thing right now is to provide funds so that we can wind partial systems in the people from going to stuff with reports growing of taliban reprisals . anyone who worked for or had connections to foreign forces may be in danger of
11:08 am
some have got out of the country, but family and friends have been left behind. we spoke to one of the many interpreters who worked with the coalition forces during the 20 year campaign. he asked to keep his name and location secret. but the moment my, my family is not residing in our own private home. they're living in somebody's, i was home, they're feeding 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 them behind. 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 blood will be on behalf of the american government. or if i knew that someday the americans will hand
11:09 am
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 where 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 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. meantime, of course the clock is taking despite the complexity of getting thousands out of
11:10 am
afghanistan, the taliban is born the united states and allies of consequences. if a complete troop withdrawal is not done by the pentagon, august 31st deadline for president biden's already said on sunday that they may have to stay past then. it's also understood the british prime minister bowers johnson will use tuesday emergency g 7 summit to ask washington to keep forces beyond the 31st to allow evacuation and lives to continue anger over the destruction in afghanistan reached american shores to wind people pouring onto the streets to protest against the taliban seizing power rallies broke out on both the east and west coasts. from l. a. to washington dc with demonstrators chanting free afghan: the stan and biden, you the craters. they also demanded that the white house have the struggling afghan population and come to politicians across the nato member state blame the united states, and also joe biden, in particular, for the fall of afghanistan donald quarter at the mountain, i got 20 years of occupation,
11:11 am
more than 2 trillion dollars spent 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, 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 loudon 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 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 is usually catastrophe. dancer, people,
11:12 am
for there were some battles 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 nader has seen since its foundation and it is an e book of change that we are facing 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 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 decisions 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
11:13 am
from our allies around the world. i've spoken with our nato allies. we 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 or excuse me, i keep calling them in general, but my secretary of 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 am 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 start show a tremendous humanitarian crisis. this is going to hurt us. no question about it. i think of janice town, his last,
11:14 am
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's turning its back on everyone's trust. also weighing in former british prime minister tony black, who sent you k troops into afghanistan 20 years ago. he criticized the u. s. decision to pull out branding the justifications behind it. as imbecilic. we didn't
11:15 am
need to do it. we chose to do it. we did it in a b, d. and to an imbecility. political slogan about ending forever was blair added that britain's involvement in the region was not hopeless despite the taliban to advance . and that the u. k. has a moral obligation to stay in the country until the afghans who need to be reevaluated. the journalist and international specialist rich of med hurst is skating thing about blair claims. he calls this slogan about ending forever. was in basilica, but he's the one who followed george bush, the laughing stock of the, of the western world in 2001 into 2 wars, both of gunnison and iraq. and he's the one who could not finish the war for 20 years later. now in 2021. and he's still offering excuses, trying to justify what he did. the united kingdom and the united states did not invade afghanistan to help women go to university, even though that's a great thing. they invaded afghanistan under the precincts of nation building and posing the taliban and getting all kinds. they, they claim that they assassinated they,
11:16 am
they got been logged in in 2011. so what are they still doing there? he's the one who started this war in iraq, afghanistan, he was right behind george bush in the warranty era. so of course he's still trying to justify what he did. okay, we'll continue to keep explaining. i'm going to stand for you, but changing direction next, concerns growing over trans, identifying meant being placed in female prison, and in some cases, abusing fellow inmates. we've got a special report on that after the break. ah, join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the media,
11:17 am
a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? which direction? what is truth is faith. in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, ah say we're going to return now to a topic that we feel deserves more investigation than it seems to be getting elsewhere. in the latest, in a series of reports,
11:18 am
we're looking at the problem is transgender. convex, abusing female inmates imprisons around the globe. a growing number of women say that lives have been turned into a living hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after a predatory male offended their identity fight as a woman was sent to their prison. the was in on him have inspecting the gene in the bathroom, making now with someone else and wanting a free son with me. free women needed the morning after pill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption that it provides protection from 8th and habitat. his be he quoted me the laundry room one day,
11:19 am
telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get with me. it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable, shalon 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 and started making out with her and feeling her route. well, i was there he bragged the how many girls his last week there. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to give details as well as home the air when it, when there were a few of us even there, it was in the living room. do you encounter? i couldn't eat after that. the rapists are inside women's jail rating. our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable. women who have no voice. so platform to speak from our
11:20 am
government is setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may read this. we have requested comment from canada correctional service about the allegations and we will share a response as when we hear back. i'm going to leave you now with correspondence. ask you a taylor. and another of her in depth reports on this to date, she speaks to activists have a mason who shed light on the story of the canadian convict, had also shed her own experience of abuse by transgender 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 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
11:21 am
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 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
11:22 am
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, you can't say that they're not transgender because you're discriminating against their identity or their expression, and even the ones, but do get denied training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or a correctional service, canada, when their complaints not resolve their 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 it so how did they react? so. a as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are set up for us. so the grievance system and
11:23 am
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 prostitution, drug addiction, and have been abused their entire lives. they just accept it as another thing that's happened to them is 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 to speak to
11:24 am
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, prison system allows men to choose to solve a sentence and a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me to undergo any saw true or human therapy. that what is enough for 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 trans women are put in prison? or prison, more appropriate to their gender identity. yes,
11:25 am
i will ensure that i consider myself to be a fairly strong advocate for, for l g b, t, q 2 issues 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 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 have 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 that have wings and dorms, and they can make l g b, t q wings, better tailored to their unique me over the united states. similar concerns
11:26 am
have been raised, for example, by the case of to no one row, a transgender woman in annoy 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 that left some female convicts very worried. i will not be victim anymore. 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. how the foreigners as be one for 2 has passed. i have been living in constant fear. i can't mentally function without fear. if the men come here,
11:27 am
please help us. i'm scared just because they feel like a woman doesn't mean the penis doesn't work. we discuss california law with alex horon, a co founder of 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, garvin use them and got we are, and every other enabler who has the largest to happen, views, the feelings of, and the physical safety of incarcerated women at the bottom of that tear amid of
11:28 am
needs. when we of course understand it has to be a 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 come. me 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 and conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence, we have so many with demon the
11:29 am
