the in the wake of the taliban shall take over of us got us down. the white ho says he didn't evacuate people earlier to avoid the complete crisis of confidence in the afghan government. but it admits that it's related response fails to stop that from happening anyway. and now the you and food agency warning of shortages in afghanistan within week the organizations aid chief there for the country telling us of a looming humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous, new to population are most important seen right now use wide terms so that we can for awhile partial systems to the people from the also for i've got interpreters who works with

nato forces during the 28 campaign slam the u. k. government for doing nothing, they say to get their families out as well. a tips stuck in the telephone controlled country with little johns of escaping that. they say this is something they didn't expect as a reward. after years of loyalty. i did a great job. but why did they, i was just trying to get back to us this, that kind of shame did the nation in retreat of if you guys will not trust the natural forces ever again. ah, no, no one of the morning have a good morning from oscar. this tuesday, the 24th of august you watching us in to national kevin over here for the next half hour, the latest. and as you heard, it's the ongoing situation that's going to start making a lot of our headlines again for you and foreign powers. they're now in

a frantic scrambling to try to meet the august 31st truthful deadline as the taliban vice consequences if they fail to do it. but then president biden has come on the scathing criticism from a potent what's being described as a shambolic us withdraw. the white has no claims. it wanted to avoid a crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier, but admits its belated response fell 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 afghan 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 said the afghan government, we acknowledge that. but that was a consider judgment at the time. pictures next in overnight from the airport

perimeter, you can see still large shared crowds at the gates of the only way out of the country paper anxiously waiting for the airport to open those doors. again, they've been shut tight now for the last 2 days. but the hopes may be dashed for washington changed its policy at the hub 100 new initiative, only american citizens green cardholders and people from nato countries are going to be allowed to enter. but afghans have apply for special us. have a good visas, were reportedly told to stay away for now, and that's going to be a bitter for the news than for the friends and family abroad. i was indeed former. i've got interpreters rallied in london on monday, though, protesting against psychology shameful behavior by the british government slamming authorities for doing nothing they say to get their families out of a telephone controlled country. further say it's a bitter reward for putting their lives on the line. if i was in day,

if i wouldn't say how they would communicate with the people, how would they find out who is local, who is in surgery. so i did a great job. but why did kill us? why? because afraid why they can target families. the people who met the operations such as for in today we come in year trying to get back to us. this kind of shame we've, we've had very shame what we did myself, have a brother who is an interpreter, who was an interpreter for the british forces. he was here at the airport trying to get to the airport actually did it from checkpoint with the taliban. my family as well. so they're trying to get through the telephone check point to get to the where the taliban slip to paris and shockwave through africa export cubans. he's around the world. one example we're going to show next is

a guy called mohammed ship. he's in africa and works as a cook in italy. he fought in the army against the taliban back then he still as an extended family and he says that terrified now the prospect of a taliban regime came to him. i am here in italy, but my thoughts are not going to stand 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. the people who cooperated with the government or other nations and the taliban is not changed. all the world is looking at them. so they're trying to hold back once they're out of the spotlight, 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 it with their scared wake. i'm better afraid of dying it beg since all this happened.

i do not know if i'm sleeping or i'm awake. i do not know what i'm doing. well, i go to work every day. and after my shift, i go to see people i hope can help my family. and while the taliban spring climbing had took the country relatively easily pictures now was showing it from the southern province of halimon, where the locals are facing the aftermath of the militants. vicious offensive, you can see that bullet in the walls, there are no doors or windows left in some of the schools and hospitals that barely able to function. and judging by the state of the calamity that are the moments nationwide, there's no sign that is going to change. and these time soon, meantime, hewitt and warning that i've got to stand faces an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, of economic collapse. unless financial aid is urgently sent, we spoke with you in the secret general's deputy special representative for the country about it. it is edition remains to be tense,

needs are enormous. nearly half of the population are neither. half of the children or 5 orientation states of christian, basically there is nothing to eat and almost 600000 people, pleased by the dog continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we probably did not factor in is how much of the natural disasters drought, and the forward dates are contributing in the, in the driving of what is happening over the years. we have holders for so much on this because of the driving the company, how much we focused on the education, how much we thought was held, how much is social will be moving forward. we should do that every time that the be significant attention to reach are watching the center of the news,

the political issues due to didn't issues that somehow if i get the social needs of the people, the limitation right now is local funding. limitation right now is that consequences or the military conflicts, but the most important thing right now to provide funds so that we can why partial assistance to the people from gartner stuff, everyone on this data is a global issue. government ease and we how they're looking at the international community. we have our goal, the live site. they, we really need help will determine so many things in the future that the human eye. they may be got the room in that meeting, the natural disasters, the active development everyone obviously

a big political follow to from afghanistan token, which than the you and the u. s. a. going through a rift in bilateral ties, aggravated by americans rapid pull out it. so hastily convinced g 7, some of the bit later today we'll address some of that. but things already turned on. friendly with the ease topped it from 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 and numerous or false claim the leaders of the g 7 to are going to press president bind to extend that evacuation deadline. one of the taliban. going to say that if it happened independent. janice luc renee told us the situation a couple, airport is a western lead mess. yes. again,

the medic, who's railey under duress because 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 own to treat as many as they can with the help of the nato forces planes that can land that the dutch to bel since the brits the french. and tried to take as many as they can. but the problem is, the employee all do, all the stuff are left to themselves. it's just sky gone all over again. who could trust western democracies after this? a decay all to pull out from i've got to stand wiki leagues, his strong attention to its past revelations about america's longest war it as soon

as the twitter post now than the organizations republish, classified us documents, which is 1st lead to the public a decade ago. but then wiki league sounded during the sound warned of the goals of us intervention. endless was beneficial to only a few. he said, total quarter takes up part of 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 more than 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 have got to stand. there is many respects more grief than the official betrayal of the biggest leaks in u. s. military history. a 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 on 2 songs, 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 of 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 and was poorly investigated, an american soldier was killed. they called in 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 insurgency 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 material. example is the task 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, the 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 sons claimed is money making scheme of endless war to wash money out of a way. you're getting back into the hands of a trend that is my goal in to have in local and no one or 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. donal call to the we talked about to us policy and i've got to start with independent journalist taylor who died from a whistleblower 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 dropped him to office, had i think a ball into a, perhaps, to a, to all time low. and things had not improved and 656 years. i think anyone who knows that 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 so important to talk about julian authority and would you be contribution? i think the united states government is seeking to make an example out of julian assigned 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 laws, it, these war 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 leaf 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 right to journalist broadcast to jim lorry, who covered vietnam and to ask was he shared with us his thoughts on the us evacuation

from cobble comparing with withdrawal from saigon back in 1975. i think that corruption was a major factor in what we see today. the me, in many ways, the mission should have ended up a lot of was killed. that was the purpose. unfortunately, whatever 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 ah, 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 f. get 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

me problem lives with the commanding structure and whether or not they were good, strong, 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 the military that really didn't really exist. it's not easy to lose a 20 year war. and now america, in 50 years as last to 20 year wars. 8920 the morning here most go time. 20 past the maybe wherever you are. thank you for watching. every day goes good. let me tell you about what got in the next 10 minutes. and so for this, for the german government, under pressure for how it's handled crisis after crisis at home and abroad.

ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for patients, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments. 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 the is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation community?

are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to this end. the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. i the morning the us and u. k. that are not alone in face and condemnation for the pullout enough gonna stand. the german government is also facing criticism because of its late rescue operation too. and that's just adding to a whole raft of other criticisms as your correspond that explains. the ongoing retreat from off canister is the latest incident where the government tier and berlin is being accused of being unprepared, flew to act and devoid of decisiveness. if the principle of political

responsibility is not for the generation to a mere empty phrase, one has to step back in the event of made mistakes all widespread failure. it was obviously not well prepared. there was too much hesitation. chancellor merkel has acknowledged that lessons need to be learned when it comes to afghanistan and how quickly the country fell to the taliban. these are still missing. at this point. i can see that we have noticed use our goals, and we hope to discuss both lessons. we have learned from this, however, amid the cale surrounding the evacuation from carpal airport. they've been numerous stories about the ministry of defense on the foreign ministry in berlin, not knowing who was in charge of what, when it came to getting the embassy and stuff out. senior figures in the ruling coalition saying, apologies and not enough for you to miss natasha. 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, the 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 been accused of being a day legged in a euro short on when it comes to living up to its responsibility. just last month, the west of the country was ravaged by flooding that killed nearly 200 people since then form of firefighters bosses of slammed 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, the code of exercises under the name lucas for youth, the unthinkable with played out and analyzed live, the recommendations were prepared. result virtually nil. con 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

done time due to time. no one was expecting that the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance, would have helped to save some essential belongings to the glacial pace, at which cove at 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. let me bring some of the news away from chemist on this morning. washington d. c. police officer then who fatally shot a trump support and during the january 6 capital bill, some republicans hailing the big tim u. s. air force veteran ashley buffet. a martyr kelly. open report. 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 he 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 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 right now, 2 died from natural causes and one from a drug overdose. in addition to that, there was another cap, a 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 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 will keep him to everything that's happening in afghanistan to day that comes over there. any other news,

as well as choose the 24th of august? thanks for checking in with us said sought in to national life for moscow with me in the team. we said, and we thank you for watching the same me so let's take a trip down memory lane through the history books. talk 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. the

ah, there will be consequences. alarming words for the taliban, if the united states is not out of afghanistan by the end of the month, this is by president biding for the best for an extension on the deadlines. so when did america go from a policy of no negotiating with terrorist asking terrorists for permission? this is another world leader states concerns regarding possible terrorists, disguises refugees escaping risk. and we will bring you the latest as well as talk with an afghan translator, who helps american soldiers and get his perspective on the recent week. and then we're going to give you the 360 view of the former president trump rally over the weekend. and alabama, it was one of the largest. so this is sign that the president is already on the campaign trail. get back to the white house. i'm skyler, he's and all of these stories on today's edition of the news you use right here on ours t america. let's get started. ah

. have dennis and continue to dominate world headlines as the chaos continued in the streets. and us citizens still are very desperate to get out. now, world leaders are almost unified in their criticism. however, president byers ministration seems to fill the last few weeks, have been successful. the president believes we are making substantial progress. dozens of flights thousands, now tens of thousands of people vacuum from the country. we believe today will be inefficient and effective day and tomorrow and the next day as well. and as i said, he is taking this day by day and we'll make his determinations as we go. have our protests continue around the globe and here in washington, dc as well. many atkins and african americans are for us.
