the moon the in a way can tell about shock takeover of of ghana style. the white house says he didn't evacuate people earlier to try to avoid a complete crisis of confidence in the afghan government. but now it admits that it's related response fell to stop that from happening anyway. and now the you and food agency warning today of shortages enough got to stand within weeks. the organizations, a chief for the country telling us of a looming humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous new also the population are most important seen right now to provide funds so the weekend for wind partial systems to the people from the. 6 also former,

i've got interpreters who worked with nato forces during the 20 campaign slam the u . k. government for doing nothing to get their families out as relatives stuck in the town of bon control country with little chance of escaping that. they say it is something they didn't expect as a reward of 2 years of loyalty. i did them a great job. but why? yeah, just trying to get back to us. the 2nd shame did the nation feel betrayed. africans would not trust the natural forces of it again. ah, good morning from oscar, the tuesday, the 24th of august to watching art in to national kevin over here with you for the next half hour with our latest. and it is the ongoing situation in afghanistan,

the course making a lot of headlines as you had this thought with the foreign powers. there are now in french frantic scrambles and to try to meet that 31st august deadline troop pull out as the taliban vo consequences if they don't. president biden has come on the scathing criticism from opponents for what's been described as an shambolic us withdrawal so far. the white house no claims wanted to avoid the crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier, but then went onto admitted belated response. failed to avoid that. anyway. we did contemplate a big, great 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 save the afghan government

. we acknowledge that that that was a consider judgment at the time. right. next to the pictures in from overnight, from the airport perimeter. not a nice place to be. and as you can see, there are still large crowds there on the statement at the gates, the only way out of the country. now that places have her anxiously waiting for the airport to open those doors again, that have been shut tight now for the last 2 days. but their hopes may be dashed up to washington changed its policy at the hub under new initiative. only american citizens, green card holders and people from nato countries are allowed to enter. but africans who've applied for special us immigrant visas were reportedly told for now anyway to stay away. and that's going to be better news than for the friends and family abroad. yeah. indeed for i've got interpreters rallied in london on monday. they protested

against what they called the shameful behavior of the british government slamming authorities for not doing enough to get their families out of the taliban control country. they say it's a bit to reward them for putting their lives on the line previously. if i was in day, if i wouldn't say this holiday would communicate with the people, how would they find out who is local, who is in surgery. so i've done a great job, but why the killer? why? because afraid why they target families leaving the people who met the person such as for today we come in here and they are just trying to get back to us . this i kind of shape we've, we could really show what we did did the convention is betrayed of if you would not trust the natural forces of it. again, we considered the metaphor to particularly us and britain, our allies, our,

our partners. however, today, there will be the biggest betrayal, countries in that war against terrorism. when the taliban swept power, it's an shockwave through african expert communities around the world. one example we're going to talk about next is mohammed shipped. he's an african who works as a cook in italy. he fought in the me against the taliban, but then he still has an extended family and i've got to start who are now terrified at the prospect of a taliban regime to let them in. then i am here initially, but my thoughts are enough canister and every day i think of how they are, what they are doing and how i can help them. i feel really bad about what is happening in our country. we never thought something like this could ever happen. that the taliban are going to every home to take revenge. should the people who cooperated with the government or other nations and the taliban is not changed. old,

the world is looking at them. so they're trying to hold back once they're out of the spotlight, their contract even worse than before. they will never change. i have 2 sisters, a brother and some nephews and nieces who are in my country. they want to leave. they're scared. i'm better afraid of dying the bag since all this happened, i do not know if i'm sleeping or i'm awake. i do not know what i'm doing. i go to work every day. and after my shift, i go to see people i hope, can help my family. and while a tele patton's been claiming it took the country relatively easily. check these pages in from the southern province of helmand, where locals are facing the aftermath of what's going on there. so recently, the militants vicious offensive as you can see for yourself, a bullet out of the bullets in the walls, no doors or windows left in schools and hospitals. so they're barely able to function and it looks like there's no sign that that is going to change or improve any time soon. meantime, the us is warning that i've got to start no faces,

an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse. unless financial aid is urgently sent, we spoke with you and 60 general, special deputy representative for the country. it is addition. some remains to be tense, needs are enormous, nearly half of the population are either half of the children or 5 orientation facing on christian, basically are very little, 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 disaster 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 become the drive and how much we focused on the education, how much we focus on health, how much social will be moving forward in time to be significant. attention to reach are watching the center of the news, the political issues due to didn't issues that somehow they forget about the social needs of the people. the limitation right now is local funding litigation, right now these are the military conflicts, but the most important thing, right? now, for white funds so that we can or why partial assistance to the people, every one on this done, it isn't. there is a global issue. i've gotten some ease and we how and looking at the international community. we are knowledgeable,

more like the site that we really just stuck on the help will determine so many things in the future or the regular human. and they may be who got the room in the meaning of natural factors development every one of course, lot of political fall too, from scott, stand the, you and us are going for a rift in bilateral ties over aggravated by america's rapid pull out its hope to hastily convey g 7 summit than later today, tuesday, we'll address some of that. the thing is already turned on friendly with the top 10 flat blaming washington for hampering efforts to evacuate european citizens from afghanistan. 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. numerous reports claim the latest g. several press president buying to extend that evacuation deadline. independent journalist loop review, told us the situation had cobble airport is a western lead mess. yet again, the medical railey for your ass because song, the situation is getting worse. the end of the month is mayor and the taliban, all those granting, shooting, again, say shooting before the end of before the new month is, has started dead, it will become an even worse chaos. so i suppose the best way is that the american express treat as many as they can with the help of the nato forces planes that can land that have touched a bell since the brits the french and in trying to take as many as they can. the problem is the employee holidays due on the end of the less to themselves. it's

just sky gone all over again. who could trust western democracies after this? so amid the kelsey polo from, i've got to start, no wiki leaks is drawing attention to its past revelations about america's longest war as it is in a series of twitter posts. and though the organization republished classified us documents, which it firstly to the public a decade ago. well back then, we can found a year in the sons warned of the goals of us intervention. endless war, beneficial to only a few. he said, i'm a quarter, takes up the story. the swift fall of the afghan capital cast a dark shadow over every sacrifice made in the fight against the taliban. but there is a man who tried to stop things from going down this road. his name is julian, a son, she's the co founder of wiki leaks, and behind one of the biggest revelations in u. s. military history. in 2010,

the whistleblower group released the afghan papers for the 90. 1000 leaked reports that shed light on the grim affairs, the u. s. was for understandable reasons hesitant to share with the public the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of gaston, that is in many respects more green than the official trail. to get the biggest leaks in u. s. military history and devastating portraits of the failing war in afghanistan . when these reports came into the public eye, washington's reaction was not to say sorry, or even to try to deflect a guilt. instead it shifted the blame onto assad's calling him a criminal for apparently putting american lives in danger. what he likes,

walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. it is an attack on the international community liaisons engaged in terrorism. he should be treated as an enemy combatant. so a psalms put american lives in danger. when he showed the world how us soldiers actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement in a case by case level in the death more than 20000 people in afghanistan, and more than a 108000 people in iraq. and so when you want to distract from this, you just make the same accusation to the, to the person that is making accusation against you. wiki leaks determined that the 2006 operation medusa resulted in one of the highest civilian death tolls of the war. despite the shocking circumstances surrounding the event. it was poorly investigated. an american soldier was killed. they called him an ac 130 gunship. this is a c 130 cargo,

refitted with canons on the side. it circled overhead and rained down shells the warlock say $181.00 enemy were killed. the logs also say there were no wounded or captured. it was a significant massacre. the afghan papers go on to suggest that the cover ups began with those actually carrying out the slaughter us soldiers reporting on their own actions, appeared to lump civilian deaths with the number of insurgents they had killed. wiki leaks revelations also shed light on special task force. 373 and a lead unit tasked with hunting down taliban leaders. many times though, they were involved in the killing of civilian men, women, and children, and washington later trying to water down the situation with misleading information about what happened. one example of this was when the task force fired rockets at a compound quoting nefarious activity there. but it was apparently not the case. it does appear to be evidence of all crimes. in this example,

is it asked for 373 high miles missile strike on a house which killed 7 children. nato later recognized the children's deaths they had caused, but said that initially they had no idea they were there. the colossal price american taxpayers paid needless suffering caused the fall of a corrupt, failed state. why did all this continue for so long? one answer is gigantic profits for giants of the military. industrial complex with stock returns from 2001 to 20. 21. for government contracted companies like lockheed martin and northrop grumman totaling more than 1000 percent. it's one of many seemingly inevitable consequences of what a san claimed is money making scheme of endless war to wash the money out of the way you are

getting back into the hands of a truck. that is the goal in to have in local and no wonder the west may want to bury the truth and condemn julian a song whose fate is still hanging in the air as he faces 175 years in prison. if extradited from a u. k jail cell to the united states. don call to the we talked about us policy and i've got to stand with independent journalists, taylor, who deck and former whistler barret brown. i think the u. s. government to some extent. it doesn't really know what it's fighting for, nor the funding for the biggest thing as such. it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the governments. the basically that the manner in which the u. s. has a pedal, whistleblowers, journalists, leakers facts, even before truck in the office. i think it fall into

a perhaps to a to all time low. and things did not improve. and 656 years. i think anyone who knows who they're talking about has to look at the us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that join assange was correct in his assessment related to u. s. foreign policy. i think what having conversations about us wars in the middle east and in particular afghan, it's dan, it is so important to talk about. julianna's staunch and would you be contribution? i think the united states government is seeking to make an example out of juliana songs to show other journalists. this is what can happen to you if you expose the us military industrial complex. and if you embarrass the u. s. government, we can lead, showed us through the afghan war diaries and the rapport loves it. these were crimes were not happening here. and there that there was some sort of rare occurrence. there were civilian casualties on

a regular basis in wiki lease. expose that we should be thinking, joanna sergeant, we should all be advocating for his immediate release because this was certainly public interest journalism. we also spoke to writer german broadcast the jim lori, covered vietnam and to africa was he showed us his thoughts on the us evacuation from cobble comparing it with the withdrawal from saigon buck and 975. i think that corruption was a major factor and what we seen today the me, in many ways the mission should have ended when a lot of was killed. that was the purpose. unfortunately, whenever america gets involved in foreign wars, they have a tendency to want to rebuild the nation. sometimes in the model of the way americans think things should be. i'm not saying this building is not a good thing, but it's almost in unachievable thing. it seems to me, if you,

if you try to put it in terms of the way american see a nation and the way it talk to you run the me issue now is worthy americans prepared to get people out really getting them out fast enough. the answer is no where they prepare back in 1975. they were also not prepared to scramble and they basically avoid all the bureaucracy. the american bureaucracy is much more complicated today that it was in 1975. i see the process for getting visas for the interpreters is an enormously complicated process. that kind of thing did not exist in 1975 people were getting out much more easily. there are so many parallels now, of course, totally different wars, different history, different backgrounds, different context, but the panics end of each of these wars bears so much,

similarity is troubling to me. when you see that the americans seem cobble to have been totally prepared for this kind of evacuation, it's not easy to lose a 20 year war. and now america, in 50 years as last to 20 year wars on, ah, the problem lives with the commanding structure and whether or not they were good, strong and dedicated, who had a loyal following commanders. and we here, and we read about all the corruption that occurred over this period time. we read about phantom armies and i was interested to see that there were numbers of military that were really didn't really exist international. a good morning for me,

kevin. and the rest of the team and thanks for watching, i didn't stick around the motor. come, the german government slammed and how it's handled crisis after crisis at home and abroad. you look deeper, more news too after this break. ah ah ah ah ah ah, i will.

i will join me every thursday on the alex silent shore and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politics sport. business i'm show business. i'll see you then me the the news. ah, 20 to an hour pass again, so the u. s. and the u. k. a not alone and facing condemnation for the pull out enough canister. the german government also facing criticism because of its late rescue operation. and that's just adding to a whole post a raft. of other criticism as europe correspondent reports the ongoing retreat from

off galveston is the latest incident where the government tier and berlin has been accused of being unprepared, flew to act and devoid of decisiveness. if the principle of political responsibility is not for the generates into a mere empty phrase, one has to step back in the events of making mistakes all widespread failure. it was obviously not well prepared. there was too much hesitation. counsellor merkel has acknowledged that lessons need to be learned when it comes to canister and how quickly the country fell to the taliban. these are seldom is not. at this point, i can see that we have noticed several goals, and we hope to discuss both lessons. we have loans from this. however, amid the cale surrounding the evacuation from carpal airport, they've been numerous stories about the ministry of defense and before and ministry, and berlin, not knowing who was in charge of what, when it came to getting the embassy and stuff out. seeing the figures in the ruling

coalition saying, apologies and not know fear the missing. gotcha, awesome. so we need to fundamentally reassess german 4 and security policy. this must be done above all by a new federal government after the election. this is already an attempt by the government institutions to put blame on each other. i don't approve of this. it doesn't make a good impression about our government, and that is not enough. it is also not enough to say, sorry, we made a mistake. it's not just the ongoing situation in afghanistan, the german government being accused of being a day late than a euro short on when it comes to living up to its responsibility. just last month that the west of the country was ravaged by flitting that killed nearly 200 people since then form of fire fighters bosses of flam. the lack of preparedness from the federal government in berlin. while people we spoke to in the flooded areas said they were pretty much left to fend for themselves. the federal government has carried out exercises under the name lucas for youth,

the unthinkable with played out and analyzed list recommendations were prepared result virtually mil. com happened won't happen, we can explain it to the population. cost too much money. the list of reasons for rejection was almost never ending or bank type. no one was expecting it. the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance, would have helped to say some essential belongings. add to that the glacial pace at which coven 19 vaccines were procured and administered in germany. the country soft approaching 60 percent of the population being fully vaccinated, but it's unlikely that target said for the end of the summer, a going to be met. anglo merkel is stepping down and the current government will be replaced at the upcoming election. but they're still in charge of keeping things running for the next 5 weeks, at least. peter all her off the berlin coast. some other news now this one away from afghan, a stand, a washington d. c. police officer who faithfully shot

a trump supported during the january 6 capital building rights has been cleared by an internal probe. the case has become a political cause, with some republicans hailing the big tim us air force veteran ashley babbitt, a martyr kelly open explains. this is part of the ongoing fall out of the january 6th 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 event 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 forth 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 it say there are very serious threat to the person involved. his life is on the line and so they cannot make public the individual who shot ass 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 capitals. 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 the das. later it was ruled that he died from a stroke. and after the capital riot, there are 4 officers who are 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. new york city that's we've got lined up here so far today, but a big invite you to keep crossover covering to it r t dot com mosca this tuesday for now. kevin and the team wishing you a great day. thank you for watching our channel. this is our t international me what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very political time. time to sit down and talk or military mission against dam. we'll conclude on august 31st i was calling for who did go to us all the quote unquote, a young girl who i really need so much you got to do that, you know, southern company is something the cut that coupled with with, with i think that was the quote to show that this was the right weapon against the right and the local. no, hon bought it from but it was filled out through z o o z the the signing of the us to all about agreement and laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting peace in afghanistan than,
