[000:00:00;00] the who's 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 afghan government, but admit that its belated response failed. to stop that from happening anyway. un food agency, warner shortages in afghanistan within week. the groups ag, before the country tells us of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous. nearly half of the population are the most important thing right now. he's still wide so the weekend wide partial people earlier, some afternoons, employed by foreign states did manage to flee the country, however,

their relatives remain and fear retribution from the tele bomb. he spoke to one translator on condition of anonymity because of the risks. i believed that americans were responsible for the technicians. then today, anybody will be killed as a result of this. will be on the hands of the american government. ah . broadcast direct from our studios and moscow, this is our to international shantanu. certainly glad to have it with us. now i've got to stand has entered a 2nd week under near total telephone control, foreign powers continue to scramble to get their nationals out. and president biden has come under scheming criticism from opponents for a perceived shambolic. us withdraw the white house now claims that wanted to avoid a quote, crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier,

but admits its belated response. had failed to avoid that. anyway, we did contemplate a big grey hail 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 that, 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 a complete troop withdrawal is not completed by the pentagon. on august 31st deadline. since the mass evacuation started from couple airport, 20 people have been killed and crushed in san p with thousands more queuing 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 for the plymouth guns. teachers who work for international troops and for all other enjoys for us. i have got information now because we have been shut down for 48 hours to a recruit people that are already the size of the airport. now we are in the one of the rushes gate of corporate or national ed per. you can see that you still 100 people are waiting outside of the gate. no hope to get a chance to go inside of the airport. ah,

i was on my way for 3 years for 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 to hear america is the problem. they create these challenges, that cheating we get people playing a game. what would the people carpet came back to normal life. most of the shops are open. we can more traffic more cars in the industry. but though i'm ready to ask the question for people who open the shop, the simply shop has been open for 2 or 3 days. the good thing about the talbot run and things here is that there are no explosions or fighting, but the best thing is there are no jobs were work at all. all departments have failed and people are tense. the also

because it can be telephone gun, some captured 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. when it comes to running, the can see there is presently a power vacuum. when our lead is came to couple, we have leaders, we have a president and minister. our cabinets has been appointed. when only they take up their positions, they will tell everyone to return to work. she started caught on the donuts. lots of people are hiding in their homes, are 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 africa. our brothers, we will not tolerate afghans being the, we have even us the traffic weeks, not the about drivers, and which had been to never, ever disturb off. can people are,

they behaved very calmly with the people. meanwhile, the u. n. is wanting that have dennis down faces an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse and less financial aid is urgently sent. we spoke with the un secretary general deputy special representative for the country. it is additional remains to be tense, are enormous, nearly half of the population are either half of the children or 5 or intact face of christian. basically there's nothing to eat and almost 600000 people didn't please by the drought 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 holders for so much on

this component was driving the company, how much we focused on the education, how much it was held, how much is what is 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 the people. limitation right now is local funding limitation right? now these are the military conflicts, but the most important thing right now is to wide funds so that we can wind partial systems to the people stuff. everyone on this done, it is a global issue, government and we how we're looking at the international community. we are now

a little more like the science that we've been on the help will determine so many things in the future that this human and they may be who got the room in that meeting, that natural be packed and development. everyone bears what was reported growing of tele reprisals. anyone with connections to foreign forces may be in danger. 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 the live a day. they cannot sleep, they're going to suppress depression because of this whole thing and,

and how long to discontinue holding 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. 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 to 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, 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 airport in front of my kids, the wife. at the same time, the use top diplomat blamed the u. s. for hampering efforts to evacuate. european citizens just have burrell ones. that security levels and the airport are making the task dear, 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, 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 lucre vase as the situation a couple airport is yet again. in western lead mass. the american sat railey under your ass because song, the situation is getting worse, the end of the month is the air. and if the taliban are 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 extra trait as many as they can with the help of the nato forces planes that can land at the dutch, the belgians, the brits, the french. and am trying to take as many as they can. but the problem is the employees, all of all the embassies are left to themselves. it's just sy gone all over again.

who could trust western democracies. after this past 2 weeks, i've 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, lay in washington dc. long with demands for the white house to help struggling up down protests occurred as politicians across made a member state slammed the us. joe biden, in particular for the fall of afghanistan or to on quarter comment about the outcry and america 20 years of occupation. more than 2 trillion dollars spend hundreds of thousands dead. it's half the price tag only to get a humiliating defeat and botched evacuation in return. naturally the president had some explaining to do to the american people 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 nipple the only reason we're against this is

a place from which ben latin attacked the united states of america. had this been in another middle eastern country where he could easily have moved from we would have never gone to the cast. 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 issues. catastrophe. good people for there were some bad 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 nature 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 spoke with to claim that they ran shanghai in those who have never fought for the colors they fly. should be careful about christ 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 from our allies around the world. i've spoken with our nato allies. we've 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 are feed 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. 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, every terrorist around the world is cheering. they have watched the taliban defeat america. in effect, president biden's 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 was turning its back on everyone's trust. in other news, the washington d. c. capital police officer who fatally 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 u. s. air force veteran. actually babbitt a martyr or he's kill them 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 of 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 bab it to be a martyr. many liberals are deeply concerned about this and the politicization of

this gas. 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 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 of republican standing for governor of new york state. he says he has no faith in biden's justice department and is calling for an independent pro. okay, have a close go independent investigation and he opens that problem. we have probably thought we wanted to test, but it wouldn't allow it shows that the or hide,

if we need it through. and if you need to come out this young lady with the app or bedford decorated out or back really been in middle east and had absolutely no weapon. we need an independent investigation out there just 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 for interaction, which is too little, was going to be released based midland. they didn't find any plot, making it in selection. 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 trans gender convicts, abusing female inmates in prison around the globe. growing number of women say their lives have been turned into a living hell by

a male prisoner. exploiting the system in one of the most notorious case is in canada. women prisoners say that they found themselves in danger after a predatory male offender who identified as a woman was sent to their jail. the walk in on him have inspecting the gene in the bathroom, making now with someone else and wanting to re some with me for women really the morning after bill. someone also had to take the bill, which she used under the assumption that it provides protection from 8th and habitat is b c quoted me, the one to one day telling me how beautiful i was. and he was trying to get with me . it was super weird. all the girls were uncomfortable. charlotte,

in 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 girl and started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there to break the how many girls last week there. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to give details as well as 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 the rapists are inside women's jails rating. our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable women who have no voice, so platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may read this

we have requested comment from canada as correctional service, about the allegations and we will let you know when we get a reply. in the meantime, leave you with soft taylors, latest in depth report. today, she speaks to activist heather mason, who shed more light on that story in canada, along with her own personal experience of abuse in prison. oh, i say 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 better old, 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 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 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 ones, but do get denied training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or correctional services of canada. and when they're complaint, 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 if so, how did they react? so as women, we do not utilize the avenues that are 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 constitution, drug addiction and i have been abused 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 high tongue shut down their throats. they've had their breasts or their touch sexual acquirements. 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 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 been 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 don't need 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 transgender is the little 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 they get it, 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, wing that are tailored to their unique needs over the united states. similar concerns have been raised. for example, by the case of to no one wrote a transgender woman in annoy who was transferred from a mens prison to

a women's facility that was off the she alleged mail and mates, 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 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 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

a woman doesn't mean their penis doesn't work. we discuss california law with alex, a har on a co founder of partners for ethical care. and founder of the agenda mapping project, she says the well being of women prisoners is simply of no interest to legislators . senate bill 132 is, is, is like 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 use them and scott, winner and every other enabler who had the largest to happen, views, the feelings of the physical safety of incarcerated women at the bottom of that tear amid needs. when we of course understand it has to be a top ortiz keeping a close eye on similar developments in the us. and for the walt. and we'll have more features on the issues raised to come

me the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in let's take a trip down memory lane through the history books, talking about geo politics as it was 100 years ago. 150 years ago from some big brain sewer looking at the big map and how that's relevant today. this is been bus one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm racial, beloved,

branch of boring. washington coming up as the north stream to pipeline is inching
