to watch the news in the wake of the telephone shot take over the dentist and the white house says it did not evacuate earlier to avoid a complete crisis of confidence in the after government. but it admits that it's a belated response. failed to stop that from happening anyway. as un food agency is one of african shortages within weeks. the groups, a cheese for the country, tells us of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous, new, awful population are needed. and most important thing right now to provide funds so that we can or why and commercial systems to the people. from earlier, some afghans employed by foreign states did manage to leave the country. however, their relatives remain and fear retribution from the taliban. we spoke to one

translator on condition of anonymity because of the risks. i believed that americans were responsible for the technicians. then today's, anybody who will be killed as a result of this will be on the hands of the american government. ah, we're broadcasting live direct from our studios market. this is our international. i'm john thomas. when you're going to have you with us and i've dentist and has entered a 2nd week under the near total telephone control, foreign powers continue to scramble to get their nationals out. and president biden has come under steve and criticism from opponents for a perceived shambolic us withdraw. whitehouse now claims that wanted to avoid a quote, crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier but admit it belated response, had failed to avoid that. anyway, we did contemplate

a big grey tail move of afghans and others in the july or early august timeframe. we made the determination not to do so because not just africa and government officials, but supporters of the afghan government. and i can't stand including many of the people who want to come out now said that doing so would trigger a complete crisis of confidence in the government as it turns out. not taking out the vacuum, not doing that. evacuation didn't exactly save the afghan government. we acknowledge that, but that was a consider judgment at the time. despite the complexity of getting thousands out of afghanistan, the taliban has warned the u. s. and allies of consequences if incomplete, true withdraw isn't completed by the pentagon. so on august 31st deadline, since the mass evacuation started from cobble airport, 20 people have been killed and crushes and stampedes with thousands more chewing outside in the hopes of fleeing, the country. local journalist told us the situation on the ground.

ah, only foreign military flights are updated from inside of cobbler international airport. have a great day foreign diplomats and i've gone see if you guys who work for international troops and for either enjoy for enjoy us. i've got information. now the causal gift has been shut down for 48 hours to create people that they are already the size of the airport. now we are, and one of the rushes gate of college or national airport. you can see that you still 100 people are waiting outside of the gym and hope to get a chance to go inside of the airport. ah, audio my work for only 3 years. the foreign troops, all my documents are approved for the day. i'm coming here to be told my documents

are invalid, only us possible. get you here. america is the problem. they create these challenges, the cheating we can, people playing a game with the people carpet . if you came back to normal life, most of the shops are open. we can see more traffic, more right, goes in the street. but though i will ask that question for people who opened the top, the tentatively shot was 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 best thing is there are no jobs or work at all. all departments have failed and people are tense. the all 30 covered. see 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, but they don't get permission from telephone to get inside of the government department dolock. so 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 the positions, they will tell everyone to return to work. she started caught on the dots and 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 accountable had people say off our brothers we will not tolerate off can being we have even us the traffic not with the about drivers and legit had been to never, ever disturb people. they behaved very calmly with the people. meanwhile,

the u. n. is wanting that afghan to stand faces an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse unless financial aid is urgently sent. we spoke with the un secretary general's deputy special representative for the country. it is addition remains to be tense, needs are enormous, nearly half of the population are either half of the children or 5 orientation faces on attrition. basically are very little to 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 disaster, the drought and the dates are contributing in the, in the driving of what this happens over the years. we have holders for so much on

this is become driving the company, how much we focused on the education, how much we focus on health, how much social big moving forward in time to be significant. and we are watching the center of the news, the political issues due to ignition that somehow they forget about the social needs of people. limitation right now is local funding limitation right? now these are the military conflicts, but the most important thing right now for wide fans so that we can why partial systems do the people stuff. every one on this done, it is a global issue. i've gotten some ease and we how we're looking at the international community. we are now a little more like a science they,

we really just on the help programs will determine so many things in the future that this human and they may be who got the woman that meeting the natural factors development every one with reports growing of taliban reprisals, any one with connections to foreign forces may be dangerous. some of those under threat have already fled, but we're forced to leave family and friends behind. we spoke to one of the many interpreters who worked with coalition forces during the 20 year campaign. he asked, we keep his name and location secret, but the moment my, my family is not residing, you know, on private home. they're living in somebody's home. they're feeling 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 hollow them behind? i'm scared for them. i'm scared for my 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 the hands 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 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 where 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 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 port in front of my kids, the wife. at the same time, the use top tip will not blame us for hampering efforts to evacuate european citizens. joseph burrell, one warns that security levels at the airport are 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 ask them to show more flexibility. we are unable 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 lucre bay says the situation at cobbler airport is yet again

a western lead mess. the medical railey or direct because song, the situation is getting worse. the end of the month is mayor. and if the taliban all those granting shooting again the 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 treat as many as they can with the help of the nato forces planes that can land that the dutch, the belgians, the brits, the french and, and trying to take as many as they can. but the problem is the employee, all of all the stuff are left to themselves. it's just sy gone all over again. who could trust western democracies after this past 2 weeks have seen protests against the taliban. the power grab take place in major cities

worldwide. and in the past few days, people have also gathered on the streets of america. shouts of free f. galveston and biden. you betrayed us, echoed around, away in washington, dc, along with demands for the white house, helps struggling after the protests occurred. as politicians across natal member states land in the us job in particular for the fall of afghanistan on quarter common 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 and 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 it. 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 the 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 nation's allies. well, they are not happy issues. catastrophe. is there good people 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 debug that nader has seen since it's 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 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. 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 spoken with nato allies, the secretary state or national security virus. 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 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 this fits? 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 any are starting to wonder if he meant america's turning its back on everyone's trust. in other news, the washington d. c. capital police officer who fairly shot a trump supporter in january 6, riots has been cleared by an internal probe. the case has become a political cause, with some republicans hailing the victim us air force veteran, actually babbitt, a martyr, or to kill him up and comments. 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, 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 who forced their way into the u. s. capital and to the health 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. 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 this das. 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, capital police officer who died on the scene. first, it was reported that he was bludgeon das. 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. we spoke to derek gibson, republican standing for governor of new york state, who says he has no faith in biden's justice department and is calling for an independent pro. ok. have a close go independent. any of the opens that are problem. we have probably thought we wanted to test, but it wouldn't allow, it shows that they are hiding something. we need it through and they need to come out this young lady, what the app or better it decorated out or back really been in middle eastern time

and had absolutely no weapon. we need an independent investigation out there just because we are not going to get justice from the just bit from the political prison just department, nor where we get it from the capital. internal police are they pushing the narrative that it was for interaction, which is a little while going to be released based mid plan dating back in a plot, making it an answer rection we return now to a topic we feel deserves more attention than it is getting elsewhere in the latest of a series of investigative reports, we look at the problem of trends. gender convicts, abusing female inmates in prisons around the globe. a growing number of women say that their lives have been turned into a living hell by male prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most notorious cases in canada, women found themselves in danger after predatory male offenders who identified as

a woman was sent to their prison. the walk in on him have inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re sign with me. we women really the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption, but it provides protection from age and habitat is b one of mean the one to one day telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get me. it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable shalon in the house with him and everything. he tried to tell me he was in love with me. it was weird asking to read for him to grow and started making out with her and feeling her out

. well, i was there to brag, told me a girl. and he also brag about taking a girl virginity in the library, to get details, as well as the linux, when there were a few of us, there, it was in the living room, do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the braces are inside women's gales 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 read this we requested comment from canada correctional service about the allegations and we will let you know when we get a reply. in the meantime, leave you with saskia taylor's latest in depth report today. she speaks to

activists. heather mason, who shed more light on that story in canada, along with her experience of abuse in prison. 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 that happened in 2017. and what was your reaction when you were trans inmates living in the compound with you? well, i was actually really freak doe in provincial because they brought me over to the in direct 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, 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 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 transfer. there are utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or a 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 for us. 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 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? 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 of 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

really, really big power difference between them. candidates, prison system allows men to choose to solve that sentence and a female prison. if they say they identify as women, they told me to undergo any thought true or human therapy. that what is enough fuel 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? yes, 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 that have bigoted 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 that. they have the room in men's institutions that have wings and dorms, and they can make l g b, t q wings, better tailor to fit 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 men's prison to a women's facility that was off to she alleged male inmates, had sexually harassed her. but in her new prison, monro herself was accused of raping

a female inmates 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 anymore. i haven't do with 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 telephone 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 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 like, i think it's 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, i got a new stem 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 have more features on the issues raised took off. ah, i

use the ready hearing and the delivery to the from us right, well yeah, right there the people there. and then from here this is the one who.
