people playing a game with the people. the problem came back to normal life. most of the shops are open. we cause more traffic, more cars in the industry. but though i'd have to ask a question for people who opened the top, the simply show has been over for 2 or 3 days. the good thing about the calvin 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 also the congress, if you can tell if i've got some cups up by the taliban, it's been several days that the government departments are shut down. are fluid. people are coming every day behind each department of the government,
6:05 pm
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 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 dots. 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 about it. we will not tolerate off can things we have even a profit, please. not about dr. is anomaly. had been to never, ever disturb off. can people are they behave very calmly with the people. me more the you any warning that ask understand us face close? absolutely. and actually catastrophe of hunger, homelessness,
6:06 pm
and economic collapse. unless financial aid, he's send urgently. we spoke with the un sex region, we're stepping, 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. and basically, there is nothing to eat. and almost 600000 people, placed 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 drought and the dates are contributing in the, in the driveway. what happens over the years we have holders for so much on this component was driving the company. how much we focused on the education,
6:07 pm
how much we thought was held, how much is social will be moving forward. the message that every time that the significance attention is 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 people, the limitation right now is local funding. limitation right now is that consequences or the military conflicts? but the most important thing right now is to provide funds so that we can why partial assistance to the people. every one on this done, it 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 were religious on the help will determine so many scenes in the future
6:08 pm
that this human right. they may be got the woman that we've been meeting the natural disasters. we packed and development, everyone with reports growing of taliban reprisals. anybody who has had connections with foreign forces could be in danger. some i've already got hacked at the country but were forced to leave their family and friends behind. we spoke to one of many interpreters who worked with the coalition forces during the 20 year campaign. he asked to keep his name and location secret of 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 a whole lot them behind. i'm scared for them. i'm scared former my, my parents,
6:09 pm
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. 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 someday be there will be a betrayal from the americans and the metal 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,
6:10 pm
exhausted, and sick. finally, after the last time that he was beaten by the taliban, he left the d 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. the wife are at the same time. the top diplomat blames the u. s. for hampering efforts to have accurate european citizens, joseph brown, warm that security levels. the airport, making the task near impossible. the problem is access to the airport. the americans are in control and security measures are very strong. we complained we asked them to show more flexibility, were enabled to get our employees through. they want to evacuate $60000.00 people between now and the end of this month. it's mathematically impossible. independent journalist renee told us the situation. neck bull airport is
6:11 pm
a western lead mess yet again. the medical railey or direct because song, the situation is getting worse, the end of the month is the air. and if the taliban all those daunting shooting again, they say shooting before the end of before the new month is, has started, then it will become an even worse chaos. so i suppose the best way is that the americans own a trait as many as they can with the help of the nato forces planes that can land that. the dutch, the bell says the brits, the french and tried to take as many as they can. but the problem is and remains as your just said, the employee, all of you, of all the embassies are left to themselves. it's just, sy gone all over again. who could trust western democracies after this,
6:12 pm
while anger over the destruction in afghanistan has reached america to, with people pouring onto the streets to protest against the taliban, seizing power, running broke from both east and west coast from allay to washington dc. that demonstrates his john things free. afghanistan and biden traders. they also demanded to whitehouse helps struggling and can population. it comes in politicians across nato members, state plane, the u. s. and joe biden, in particular for the fall of africana stan don't quarter looks at the magazine under 20 years of occupation. more than 2 trillion dollars spent hundreds of thousands dead. it's a 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 in the 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 epl. only reason we're against this is
6:13 pm
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 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 is used to catastrophe good people. so there were some barriers 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 in the 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
6:14 pm
in those who have never fought for the colors they fly should be careful about christ sliding. 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 nato allies. we spoke with nato allies, the secretary state or national security vice, 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 of defense, the fact of the matter is i have not seen a matter of fact the exact opposite. i've got,
6:15 pm
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 of dentist 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 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?
6:16 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's turning its back on everyone's trust. in the news tonight, the washington d. c. capital police officer who fatally shot a trump supporter in the general 6 thrice has been cleared by an internal probe. the case has become a political cause, with some republicans hailing the victim us air force veteran ashley babbitt as a matter which is kind of morphine explains. this is part of the ongoing fall out of the january 6 the capital riot. and we now have the us capital police announcing that they have concluded their investigation into the killing of ashley babbitt, who was fatally shot during the events that took place on capitol hill. now,
6:17 pm
according to the statement they've released, there won't be any disciplinary action against the officer and carried out the shooting. they say case closed, this is what they said. the actions of the officer in this case potentially saved members and stuff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of riots, force their way into the u. s. capital and to the house chamber where members and stuff was steps the way. now many conservatives say the case is not closed, and furthermore, there's a lot of outrage on the conservative side because the name of the officer who pulled the trigger has not been reveal, say there are very serious threats to the person involved in his life is on the line and so they cannot make public the individual who shot ashley babbitt, many conservatives have kind of considered ashley babbitt to be a martyr. many liberals are deeply concerned about this and the politicization of the das,
6:18 pm
it's also important to know that there were 3 other protesters who died during the january 6 capital riot. now 2 died from natural causes and one from a drug overdose. in addition to that, there was another cap, a capitol police officer who died on the scene. first, it was reported that he was bludgeoned to death. later, it was ruled that he died from a stroke. and after the capital riot, there are 4 officers who were involved, who are alleged to have committed suicide. and is said that the trauma of the capital riot contributed to that. so that's the situation. but as of now, the capital police say case closed no further investigation, no disciplinary action against the officer. but we spoke to derek gibson, the candidate for governor of new york state. he says he has no faith in biden's justice department and his calling for an independent probe. ok, have a close go independent. any of the opens that are problem. we have probably thought we wanted to test,
6:19 pm
but it wouldn't allow you show that the or hide if we need it through. and if you need to come out this young lady, what the app or better it decorated out or been in middle eastern time and had absolutely no, well we need an independent investigation out there just for me because we are not going to get justice from the just from the political prison just department, nor where we get it from the capital internal police officer, they pushing the narrative that it was before insurrection, which is a little while going to be released basement plan. they didn't plan in a plot, making it an answer. rection we were so nice to a topic we do feel deserves more investigation than it's getting elsewhere. in the latest of a series of reports, we're looking at the problem of transgender convex, abusing female inmates in prisons around the globe, growing number of women to say that their lives have been turned into a living hell by male prisoners exploiting the system. and one of the most
6:20 pm
notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after a predatory male offend, who identified as a woman, was sent to that prison. the walk in on him have inspecting the jim in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re sign with me. we women needed 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 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. charlotte, in the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me he was in love with me.
6:21 pm
it was weird. he asked me to read for him and the girl i started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there to breck, how many girls last week, and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to give details as well as the error when it, when they're worth your of us there. it was in the living room. do you and count i couldn't eat after the races are inside women's jails 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 read this we have requested comment from canada's correctional service about those
6:22 pm
allegations and we'll let you know when we get a reply. in the meantime, we'll leave you with saskia. taylor's latest in debt report. today she speaks to activists have a mason who shed small lives on that story. in canada. 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 prevention. 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 that happened in 2017. and what was your reaction when you love that that was trans inmates living in the compound with you?
6:23 pm
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 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 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 was 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
6:24 pm
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 a complaint system or a correctional service. canada, 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 felt about incident you described of sexual assault and it? 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
6:25 pm
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 hi, tanya, shut down with rhodes. 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, same a physical altercation. they've never been punched in the face so hard. they're starting to carry weapons around, which is not
6:26 pm
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 been really, really big power difference between them. candidate prison system allows men to choose to sob a sentence in a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they don't need to undergo any thought true or human therapy. that what is enough? the far to say this is in the name of the quality and to ensure the safety of transgender as 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 or 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,
6:27 pm
and fairly aware of all the different pressures. and this wasn't one that i had ever thought of. so thank you. had 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 begun 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, wing, better tailored to their unique me over in the united states. similar concerns have been raised, for example, by the case of janai at one row, a transgender woman in enjoy, who was transferred from a men's prison to a women's facility that was after she alleged male inmates had sexually harassed
6:28 pm
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 the gender identity below 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. 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,
6:29 pm
a 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, is, is it phantom thing? 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 param, it's nice when we of course understand it has to be at top off, he's keeping a close eye on similar to the elements in the us and elsewhere in the world. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to cotton. ah,
6:30 pm
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even 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, very critical time time to sit down and talk our military mission against them will conclude on august 31st. ah, what sounds good to us, all the quote unquote, a young girl. i will bundle you proof so much you got to the southern company. so the cut cut all the.
