2:05 pm
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. don't look for that. 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 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 caught on the docks. lots of people are hiding in their homes. afraid to venture out, 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 for everyone. we are not cannibals, head people say ask our brothers. we will not tolerate off can things we have even us the traffic weeks, not about drivers and legit had been to never, ever disturb off. can people, are they behave very calmly with the people that you're in walla, he, when report was born, that africana stan face is
2:06 pm
a quote absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse, unless financial aid is sent urgently. we spoke with the un secretary general stephanie special representative in the country. it is addition, remains to be tense, needs are enormous, nearly half of the population are neither half of the children or 5 orientation phase of fission. basically, there is nothing to eat and almost 600000 people, pleased by the dog continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we probably did not factor in is how much of the natural disasters drove. and the forward dates are contributing in the, in the driving of what this happens over the years. we have hold is so much on this
2:07 pm
because of the driving the company, how much we focused on the education, how much we focus on health, how much social will be moving forward in time to be significant attention areas which are watching the center of the news the political issues due to didn't issues that somehow if i get the social needs of the people, the limitation right now is local funding limitation right now, east or the military conflict. but the most important thing right now for wind farms so that we can wind partial systems to the people on guard stuff. everyone on this done, it is a global issue. government ease and we how and looking at the international community. we have multiple life site. they,
2:08 pm
we really need help will determine so many things in the future that the human and they may be got the room in that meeting, the natural disasters, the active development. everyone now with proposed crowing of taliban reprisals. anybody who has had connections with foreign forces could be in danger. some have already gone out of the country but were forced to leave their family and friends behind. we spoke to one of many interpreters. he worked with the coalition forces. during the 20th campaign, he asked us to keep his name and location secret. at the moment my, my family is not residing in our own private home. they're living in somebody's else 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 does this continue to hold on to the height? i'm scared for them. i'm good for my, my, my parents,
2:09 pm
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 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,
2:10 pm
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 port in front of my kids and wife. meanwhile, the clock is taking because despite the complexity of getting thousands out of afghanistan, the taliban has warned, the u. s. and allies of consequences if complete troop withdrawal is not done by the pentagons own deadline of august the 31st, but president biden already said on sunday that they may have to stay past that date. it's understood that britain is prime minister to will use cheese days, emergency g 7 summit to ask washington to keep forces beyond the 31st, to allow evacuation lifts to continue. now anger over the destruction in
2:11 pm
afghanistan has reached america to with people there pouring onto the streets to protest against the taliban seizing power. ronnie's broke on both the east and west coast from allay to washington, dc with demonstrates his chances free. afghanistan and biden betrayed us. they also demanded to whitehouse helps the struggling afghan population. it comes as politicians across nathan member states blame the us, joe biden, in particular for the fall of afghanistan. don't quarter. looks at the main thing. anger. 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 defeat and botched evacuation. in return. naturally the president had some explaining to do to the american people, a majority of americans, and forgive me, i'm just the messenger no longer considered to be competent, focused, or effective in the job. i haven't seen the only reason we're against this is
2:12 pm
a place from which been lot attacked. the united states of america had this been in another middle eastern country where he could have basically have moved from we would have never gone to gas 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. good people for there were some bad 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 debacle that nader 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 forthwith to claim that they ran
2:13 pm
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 question of our credibility from our allies around the world. i've spoken with our nato allies who spoken with nato allies, the who the secretary state or national security virus, 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 agreed with that.
2:14 pm
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 august on 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?
2:15 pm
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 any are starting to wonder if he meant america. turning its back on everyone's trust tongue court, there will the fate of afghan women under taliban rule is also a huge concern worldwide. as follows, charity rallies across europe protest is demanded action from their governments, including taking more refugees. any express taliban will impose st. starring women and key parts of public life, russia result, use agencies spoke to human rights activists about who's to blame for the current crisis. 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 more he again,
2:16 pm
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 . for its part, the taliban does pledge to respect women's rights, but only within sheree law, the militants are letting women work and girls go to school. but some ages again says that women are being negatively targeted. make no move. movement members walk members who are income level mom and dad in hiding it because there was when they did protests against the human rights relation, most of the terrorists to anybody according to the united nations,
2:17 pm
searching for them and my members, they contacted me and told me that a 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 defenders working against their policies and they're searching for them and they are trying to, i know they will before i know the 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 ran from those to restrain. 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 phase. watching are still to come through this concerns greg over trends identifying men being placed in female
2:18 pm
prisons and in some cases, abusing fellow inmates will have a special report on that just after the breakfast i the ah me. what we've got to do is identify the
2:19 pm
threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk me the news. ah hello again. we return to a topic that we do feel more investigation than it's getting elsewhere. and the latest, the series of reports will look at the problem of transgender convicts 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,
2:20 pm
prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger, offer a predatory male offend. who was it? who identified as a woman? were sent to the prison the was in on him, have inspecting the gene in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re sign with me for women really the morning after. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption, but it provides protection from 8th and habitat is b one has mean the one to one day telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get his name. it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable,
2:21 pm
shalon and the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me she was in love with me. it was weird. he asked him to leave for him and the 0 i started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there to brag how many girls last year. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to get details as well as the air limit when they're worth your while speaking, there it was in the living room do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the braces are inside women's jails, raising 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 read what we have
2:22 pm
requested, comment from canada's correctional service, about those allocations and we'll let you know we're when we get a reply. in the meantime, we'll leave you with fast taylor's latest in depth report. today, she speaks to activist heather mason, who shed more light on the story of the canadian con, convict, and also her own experience of abuse. imprison oh, i want 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 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
2:23 pm
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 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. but he was trying to peek into my cell 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, 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
2:24 pm
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 say that they're not transgender because you're discriminate against their 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 correctional services with canada. and when they're complain, it's not resolved, they're bringing it to the human rights tribunal. did you ever inform the gods about how uncomfortable you thought about incident you described of sexual assault? and if 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,
2:25 pm
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 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, actual 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,
2:26 pm
famous 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 the 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? the far to say this is in the name of the quality and to ensure the safety of transgendered, 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?
2:27 pm
me answer is 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 the 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 that have 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 that have wings and dorms, and they can make l g b, t q, wing, better tailored their unique name over in the united states. similar concerns have been raised, for example, by the case of tonight at one row,
2:28 pm
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 a 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. as 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
2:29 pm
a woman doesn't mean the penis doesn't work. we discuss california law with alex har on a co founder of partners for ethical care. 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 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 tear amid 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
