the the in the wake of the taliban sean take over about dana stands. the white house says it did not evacuate earlier to avoid a complete crisis of confidence in the afghan government. but it admits that it's a belated response, failed to stop that from happening anyway. as you and the food agencies, one of shortages in afghanistan within week, the group stayed chief before the country tells us of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous. nearly half of the population are needed. the most important thing right away. so that we can provide a partial 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 this declaration. and today's, anybody will be killed as a result of this. blood will be on the hands of the american government. ah, quite testing direct from our studios and this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you. with dana, stan has entered a 2nd week under near total tell about control foreign powers continue to scramble to get their nationals out. and president biden has come under scathing criticism from opponents for a perceived shambolic. u. s. withdraw. the white house now claimed it 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 grape hail,

move of afghans and others in the july, early august timeframe. we made the determination not to do so because not just africa and government officials, but supporters of the afghan government in afghanistan, 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 and not doing that. evacuation didn't exactly say the afghan government . we acknowledge that. but that was a consider judgment at the time. despite the complexity of getting thousands out of afghanistan to tell about, has warned the u. s. and allies of consequences if a complete troop withdrawal is not completed by the pentagons on august 31st deadline. since the mass evacuation started from cobble airport, 20 people have been killed in crushes and stampedes with thousands more chewing outside in the hopes of fleeing the country, local journalists 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 seek you guys who work for international troops and for either enjoy for enjoy us. i've got information now because we have been shut down for 48 hours to have a quick 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 it still 100 people are waiting outside of the gate and hope to get a chance to go inside of the airport. ah, this audio is my work for 3 years for foreign troops. all my documents are approved

for the day and coming here to be told my documents are invalid, only us possible. get to him. america is the problem. they create these challenges that cheating we get people playing a game with the people problem came back my life. most of the shops are open. we can see more traffic more via it goes in the in the street. but though i'm going to ask that question summer for people who opened the top the, the template shop has been over 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 or work at all. all departments have failed and people are tense. also the corporate capital of i've got some cuts out by the taliban. it has 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 administer, our cabinets has been appointed. when only this take that position, 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? allow people that today or tomorrow we may ask them to return to work. we have announced the national amnesty for everyone. we are not the cannibals head. people say africa. our brothers. we will not tolerate off can things we have even us, the traffic please. not this. the about dr. is anomaly. had been to never, ever disturb off. can people maybe have very calmly with the people that meanwhile

the u. n. is it warning that i've got 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 phase of attrition. basically are very little nothing to eat. and almost 600000 people didn't waste by the drought continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we probably did not factor in is hung in the, in the driving of what is happening over the years. we have whole, this focus so much on this component of what the drive and how much we focused

on the education, how much it was held, how much is focused on social will be moving forward. we should do that every time that the significant attention to which are watching the center of the news, the political issues due to the issues that somehow if i get above the social needs of the people. the limitation right now is local funding. limitation right now is the consequences or the military conflicts. but the most important thing right now is to provide funds so that we can provide partial assistance to the people. every one on this done, it isn't a global issue. i've gotten response ease and we how they're looking at the international community to more we have now. it was more like the site they were really stuck on the help of the women that we've

been meeting the natural disasters, the active development. everyone with reports growing of tell about the reprisals that anyone with connections to foreign forces may be danger. some of those under threat have already fled but were 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 to keep his name and location secret. but the moment my, my family is not residing 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 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 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 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 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 the way in front of the port in front of my kids and wife. at the same time, the use top diplomat blames the u. s. for a hammering efforts to evacuate. european citizens just barrow warns the 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. right, independent journalist luc renee says the situation at campbell airport is yet again a western lead mess. the magic, consult railey for your act 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 american express 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 in trying to take as many as they can. the problem is the employee. all of you, of all the stuff are left to themselves. it's just cy, gone all over again. who could trust western democracies? after this, the past 2 weeks have seen protests against the taliban power grabbing take place in major cities worldwide. and in the past few days, people have also gathered on the streets of america, shouts of free uh, dennis stanton, biden, you betrayed us, echoed around the l. a in washington dc,

along with demand for the white house to help struggling up camp protest occurred as politicians across need a member state blend the u. s. by the, in particular for the fall of the dentist or she's done quarter comments now on the outcry in 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 the only reason we're against this is a place from which been lot attack the united states of america. had this been in another lease to country where he could have recently moved from we would have never gone to f. gast, 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 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 the 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 who spoken with nato allies, the secretary state or national security via has 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. 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 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 bite and get this so wrong? how could officials have missed fish? how did it happen? how do we get here? does president abide not bear the blame for this disastrous exit from afghanistan? another 3 years of fighting and we're going to be lucky if we have a single ally left. america is back. that was biden's famous promise. but after a colossal failure in america's longest war,

ever 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 fatally shot a trump supporter in the 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 ashley 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 house chamber where members and stuff was steps away. 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 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 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. who spoke to derek gibson, a republican standing for governor of new york state, who says that he has no faith and by his justice department and is calling for an independent pro. ok. have a close go independent investigation. any of the opens that are problem. we have quality parts, we want it to test, but it wouldn't allow it shows that the or hide if we needed from. and if we need to come out, this young lady was out or better. it decorated our calling 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

from the political prison just department, nor where we get it from the capital internal police officer. they push the narrative that it was before insurrection, which is too little, was any of the release basement plan. they didn't pass in a plot, making it an incorrect and we return now to a topic we feel deserves more attention than it's getting elsewhere. in the latest of a series of investigative reports, we look at the problem of transgender convicts abusing female inmates in prisons around the globe. a growing number of women save their lives, have been turned into a living hell by mail, prisoners exploiting the system. in one of the most notorious cases in tenant the women prisoners say that they found themselves in danger after a predatory male offender. they say, who identified as a woman was sent to their jail. the

was in an aim, have inspecting the dream in the bathroom, making out with someone else and wanting to re some with me. 3 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. call me last 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. it was weird. he asked him to leave for him and this girl and started making out with her and feeling her out. well, i was there he

breck, how many girls his last week there. and he also bragged about taking the girls virginity in the library to get details as well as the error when it, when they're worth your of us. there. it was in the living room do you encounter? i couldn't eat after the braces are inside women's jails rating. our women men are using this loophole to access already vulnerable. women have new voice, so platform to speak from our government, setting out women to be sexually assaulted by these may we have requested comment from canada correctional service about the allegations and we will let you know when we get a reply. in the meantime, we will leave you with south ca taylor's latest in depth report today, she speaks to activists. heather mason, who sheds more light on that story, in canada, along with her own personal experience of abuse in prison. oh,

in fact, 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 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 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 guards told me anyway, but he was trying to peek into my style when they're searching me. so that was my very 1st experience of that. but when i got to the federal and i was told that there are men on compound with us, i was blown away. i didn't believe it. i couldn't believe that they were putting males in women's presence. i was sexually harassed by one of them when i was inside used to get me to try to walk back and forth in front of them so that they could check out my but lots of other comments as well. and then i was also in the halfway has with a male who has fully intact and it was like walking on egg shells. are you worried that there are people who are going to use the system in order to end up in a female prison? and then come out and decide that he's a man again. well, yeah, there's nothing to prevent them. if they claim transgender identity, you can't say that they're not transgender because you're discriminating against

their identity or their expression, and even the one, but do get denied training for their utilizing the grievance system, which is a complaint system or correctional services of 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 fall, that instant you described, of sexual assault and it? so how did they react? so 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 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 limit. 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 high tongue shut down the road. 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 physical altercation. they've never been punched in the face so hard. they're starting to carry weapons around, which is not a normal thing for women that are incarcerated in canada. they're putting soup cans and socks because they know that they're fighting males and not women. and there's the really, really big power difference between them. candidates,

prison system allows men to choose to solve a sentence 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 transgender is the law change was pushed for by prime minister justin trudeau. himself. will you do your best to ensure that trans women are put in prison or prison? more appropriate to their gender identity 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 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 begun to use that returns. 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, 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 enjoy who was transferred from a mens prison to a women's facility that was after 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 below 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 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 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 it 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 param, it's nice 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 to call me. ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for patient, 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 political time. time to sit down and talk let's take a trip down memory lane through the history books, talk about geo politics as it was a 100 years ago, 150 years ago from some big brain sort of looking at the big map and how that rela .
