the parties headline news this out in the wake of the taliban shop takeover of afghanistan. the white house says it didn't evacuate people earlier to avoid a complete crisis of confidence in the afghan government, but admit that it's related response, failed to stop that from happening anyway. and now the un food agency warns of shortages in afghanistan within weeks, the organizations, a chief of the country, tells us of a looming, humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous. nearly half of the population are the most important seen right now to provide funds so that we can for a while partial systems in the people from gartner. stuff yeah. also,

former african interpreted who worked with nato forces during the 20 year campaign slammed the british government for doing nothing to get the families out as relatives of stuck in a taliban controlled country with little chance of escaping. they say something they didn't expect as a reward after years of loyalty. so i didn't limit grades, but why the jewelry? just trying to get back to us. the 2nd option we've refilled very show what we did with my family as well. so they're trying to get through the telephone check point to get to choose hello the live for moscow. this is archie international i'm calling braille. i have more on tuesdays development on the afghan crisis for you in a few minutes. first though, we're going to talk about what's just been happy in the hungarian capital,

budapest, where if you are watching last hour, you have seen the russian foreign minister. the gala grove has been meeting his hungarian counterpart, peter z arthur as part of a tool over the european union. all right, let's pull together what we saw over the past hour. all these peter, all of it was watching across that news briefing. hi, that pizza. what were the key talking points that came out yeah, whistle stopped to a for so to get land rover across here. if he's been in budapest, along with pete to see off, so the hungarian foreign minister, we heard him left our really what said a gala, for of taking away from this is that there's a lot of fruitful cooperation between moscow and budapest. right now. that word cooperation coming up an awful lot is fruitful as well. coming up an awful lot in this press conference. he said the hungry was not prepared to allow politics to get in the way of economic development between the 2 countries. as some european

partners had done in recent times, you also spoke the russian foreign minister about say, an element. and so within the e u that was pretty much anti moscow. let's say that he has a magician. we do appreciate hungary pragmatic behavior. as with the past doesn't pull geopolitical and ideological games above the interest of development and economic cooperation, even though there are and will be some disagreements. energy and vaccines were also very much on the agenda when it came to nordstrom to pete. it's the author, the, the hungarian foreign minister, having a bit of criticism for some of his european partners here. he said, had been well to face really what it came to the, the project that pipeline that brings rushing gas under the baltic sea from russia directly into the european union. mississippi also saying that he hoped that in the coming that this autumn that there would be

a new energy deal signs between gas problem rushes, energy giant and hungry. talk to a movie deal that could be in the pipeline better. the hopes be done by the end of the year. he also said he had a lot of time and praise nor stream to for getting on the way for that project happening when it came to split the v. there was also signed from the on gary inside through his russian counterpart saying that without russia's foot vaccine, the vaccination program and hungry would have lagged well beyond where it is right now. they also talked about the prospect of producing this vaccine here in hungry that sometime in 2022 under a license from russia. sputnik v would be manufactured out of facility here in hungry. so when it came to finance business energy and the vaccines as well as they said, fruitful cooperation was the, the watch was that came out of that press conference. yep, definitely an hour. they underline the solid foundations between hungry and russia

. ok. in budapest, i'll teach peter all the thank you onto headline news than with soft canister dominating the global agenda in foreign powers right now in a frantic scramble to meet the august 31st trooper, pull out the deadline as the taliban bout consequences if they fail to do so, president biden's come in for scathing criticism from opponents for what's described as a shambolic us withdrawal. the white house now claims that wanted to avoid a crisis of confidence by evacuating earlier, but admit that it's belated response, 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 african 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. of this is what that decision now looks like. beads of pictures from the apple perimeter and cobble and as you can see, there are still large crowds of the gates of the only way out of the country. people that are anxiously waiting for the airport to open those doors again, they've been shut tight for the last 2 days. the thing is, the hopes might be dashed because washington changed his policy at the hub. under a new initiative, only american citizens green cardholders and people from nato countries are allowed in. but afghans who've applied for special us immigrant visas reportedly been told to stay away for now. and that's going to be in bits of news, not only for them, but also for their family and friends abroad. i was indeed former ask on, interpreted, rallied in london on monday they were protesting against what they called the shameful behavior of the british government fleming. the authorities for doing

nothing to get their families out of the taliban control country. they say it's a bit of reward for putting their lives on the line. like if i was in day, if i wouldn't take this tape, how they would communicate with the people, how would they find out? who is local, who is in surgery. so i did the grades, but why they kill us? why? because afraid why they can get our families really in the home at the operations such as for in today we come in year and they are just trying to get back to us. the 2nd shame we, we feel very sham. what we did for myself have a brother who is an interpreter, who was an interpreter for the british forces. he was his guarantee 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 when the taliban swept to power, it sent shock waves through africa, export communities around the world. one example is mohammed shopper, he's an afghan, who works as a cook in italy. he fought in the army against the taliban. he still has an extended family back in afghanistan, who he said and now terrified at the prospect of a taliban regime seemed to let him in him. 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 because the taliban are going to every home to take revenge. should the people who cooperated with the government or other nations and the taliban has not changed all the world is looking at them. so they're trying to hold back once they're out of the spotlight, they're going to 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 for the best scared week. i'm better afraid of dying in 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. 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 claims it took the country relatively easily, here a pictures from the southern province of helmand where local to placing the aftermath of the militants, a vicious offensive with no doors or windows left in schools and hospitals that barely able to function right now and there's no sign that's going to change anytime soon. meantime, the you ends warning that afghanistan faces an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse and less financial aid is urgently sent. here's what the un secretary general deputy special representative of the country told us. it is additional remains to be tense, needs are enormous,

nearly half of the population are either half of the children or 5 orientation states are fission. basically nothing to eat and almost 600000 people, placed by the dog, continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we probably did not factor in is how much of the natural disasters drove forward. dates are computing in the, in the driving of what happens over the years. we have hold is so much on the drive and how much we focused on the education, how much it was held, how much is social will be moving forward in time to be significant attention to areas which are watching the center of the news,

the political issues due to the issues that somehow if i get the social needs of people, the limitation right now is local funding limitation right? now these are the military conflicts, but the most important thing right now is to provide funds so that we can provide partial assistance to the people from garden stuff. everyone on this done, it is a global issue and i've gotten this 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 and they may be got the woman that we've been dealing with, natural disasters, be active development. every one i also talked at length with right to journalist and broadcast to jim lorry,

who covered vietnam and to africa was now one of the things he shed. his thoughts with his own was the us evacuation from campbell, and he compared it with the withdraw from saigon in 1975, adding the corruption was a major factor in what we see 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 billing is not a good thing, but it's almost in unachievable thing. it seems to me, if you, if you try to put in with terms of the way american see a nation and the way of talk to you, ron. ah,

the issue now is where the americans prepared to get people out where they 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 african 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, what 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. mm. the 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 military that were 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. ok. changing topic shortly. mixed messages from ukraine on the possible hijacking of one of its planes and cobble airport will try and shed some light on that for you after the break. ah,

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, i will. i will like when i would show the wrong one all just don't the rule. yes. to shape out the same because the attitude

and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground the i got another story with tracking for you this tuesday. we're hearing conflicting reports on the possible hijacking of a ukrainian playing at cobble airport. this stage is not clear what type of plane it is. the country's foreign minister revealed earlier on tuesday that an aircraft sent to evacuate ukrainians from the afghan capital had been hijacked and flown to iran while the ministry spokes person later dismissed that information. all right, across this forest is corresponding dmitri pokes who have a lot to try and get a handle on here. any further clarity? well, not really. it's still unclear why does stay when it was even made. it seems like the ukrainian foreign ministry is kind of arguing with itself. but as you said

earlier today, the deputy foreign minister came out with a state and saying that their flights to their creation, flights from against and to ukraine were unsuccessful. but more than that, he claimed that one of the plains was actually hijacked by armed persons and then later was practically stolen and flown soran. last sunday, our plan was hijacked on tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us. again, it flew to run with an, an identified group of passengers on board instead of lifting ukrainians. our next 3 evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport. now the kind of the statement that started all this confusion, it was extremely technical. it's extremely on specific. what kind of plane is it a military plane? is that a passenger plane? he's had 3 flights of harmony planes. are we talking about? assuming it's one, then the question is, where is this hijacked, plano,

who is anybody looking for it because hijacked planes of serious security risk. but to make matters even more confusing, just mere hours after his statement, the spokesperson for the screening for a ministry came out saying that basically completely contradicting everything. the deputy for a minister said and saying basically everything's fine. there are no hijacked ukrainian plains, neither in capital nor anywhere else. the information about a hijacked plane been spread by some media is not true. so according to the spokesperson, what the deputy foreign minister meant to say was it the situation in afghanistan is difficult and that the diplomats are having difficulties evacuating the ukrainian citizen. gee, also noted that all the planes, all the flights from ghana stand have landed safely in the ukraine. and even the uranium authorities have also deny that any hijacking took place and that a plane did land in iran, but only to refuse. and then later went onto kia, but even these statements haven't exactly,

completely cleared everything up yet. because since the initial statement by the deputy for a minister, we saw several conflicting reports and rumors going on around online, some stating that it was the us military that appropriated the plane for his needs . and some others reports suggested that the pilots of this evacuation plane actually decided to take a payday and make some quick cash by flying some wealthy. busy wealthy people from iran instead of green and citizens. so at this point it's really we just need to see more clarification from the craner authorities because especially from the deputy foreign minister because it's unclear why he suggested that the plane was hijacked. and basically, just the way the ukranian for ministry has been communicating, it's like it's fighting with itself so hence all the confusion from the sterling job trying to navigate through to get some facts on this. i know it's all taken gobble, but these kind of strange messages and claims coming out of the ukraine. the basically help today. all right, thanks very much for that matri. how more from ukraine for you this tuesday,

the countries marks 30 years of independence with a large scale military parade in camps. main square of the nation became a sovereign state of the fall of the soviet union. this latest event showcase troops along with almonds and heavy vehicles. many high level foreign guests were also spotted there, along with a large contingent of foreign soldiers marching through independent square. local media reported a man tried to set himself on fire during the event, but was quickly dealt with by police officers. his condition that the states though, is not yet known. now let's cross live to russia. abolition. awesome. recall the high that martin, i would you describe modern day ukraine? would you say it's the nation? what would you say is the nation's greatest achievement of the last 30 years? the greatest achievement of the nation is ready to be a nation still and to be independent because we go back 30 years that were very high, hoped for ukraine with those folks. and they've been realized because this really to,

they're dirty to ukraine. they split between russian speakers and ukrainian speakers . and this gulf is why in the last 3 years and has in fact made life very difficult for the president. the economy has not inside dumb, as well as one would have expected, but the one success stories, agriculture. where they, they, that's patient grain and so on. and so i got your success stories. but you can't really say that for much of the economy. so ukraine unfortunately hasn't adopted billings. we expected in $991.00 and the future is uncertain because of our gun was done because the ukraine will be wondering if americans have pulled out as guns done. what extent are they committed to defending ukraine? the united states has been very important in increasing aid, increasing weapons, and so on and training the ukrainian military. will they in fact weaken that

commitment? what is in prison by mind? so the credit will be thinking about that and worry about that because of gun was done is an example of where the americans decided that they've had enough problem. they want to so the lifted ship, one crane. now i was gonna say that kind of a trunk from, from the united states, of course i was seeing in afghanistan and with lots of foreign troops marching in the independent stay parade in care of, is that really a symbol of it being a standalone independent state and should be worried that those 2 are going to be around not that is a very great concern for them because president biden is unpredictable. and he takes decisions appears to take decisions that really consulting a lot of people. and therefore, they will be very concerned, and lots of people around the world would be very concerned about american foreign policy, who's making it. and he's a coherent and after

a gun was done after the defeat of a gun was done, goes down has been very badly, was handled. so what about american globe? boise will be coherent in the future. what are the objectives? these will have to be spelled out by washington and president biden property will make us meet on foreign policy. and sometime after the war from the gunston, the hero, our objectives of the following. and then the question will be fully committed to those, to those commitments. what about ukraine's own internal dealings? is there any impact from the 2014 political crisis that still rumbling on today? it still wrong early on because president zelinski difficult position because he's not really in total control of the country. power is in fact distressed. it's split among various economic leech and political leads and he has

a difficult time. and therefore his main task is to demonstrate that he can bring all these different groups together and concentrate power. the center here may have to do that in prison, but that would be a goal because kids need a strong dia is better, very important time. and the lens he believes he is a leader and his good relations with many countries and so on. but it's up to him, up the cranes to develop into a coherent nation, not, not a strict nation problem. and the state has not been as successful last 30 years as i and many other people in this, in the ukraine on june the soviet era and thought that they had a very bright future. and eventually grandchild time. since i've been disappointed with what i saw disappointing, but the power of a crystal ball mouth. and what would you say the forecasts for the countries if

they can keep together. they will be saying that the russians who have concentrated large numbers of troops on the eastern border of ukraine, they were thinking about central asia. so from the ukranian point of view, they were blew up and some of those troops will be withdrawn from there and centers as jake has done, that he's done. approach took manage time, but they were really concerned about that. and the future of ukraine is uncertain as a nation, as, as, as a korean state. because a key player, of course, as united states is station sides of ukrainian trend is whitley, with the bobbo. they would concentrate on their religions with china. that's very bad news. recruiting and ukraine's future, then we'll be in doubt. j. apologize. i haven't. i off of it. ok, thanks very much for joining. it's good to talk to you again. russia analysts,

martin mccauley. thanks. thank you. ok, that's how it looks for moscow. this. our thanks for watching next, exploring the dog history and consequences of the united states housing market in the, in the, in the join me every thursday on the alex southern shore. and i will be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business, i'll see you then, me. military mission against dam. we'll conclude on august 31st. i want to

phone to who did a good to us all the quote unquote a young girl. and i really need proof for my. you got to be a separate company, so the cut that coupled with what was the quote to show me that this was the right weapon against the right hand, the local no no, no, no bought it from but it was filled out through z o o z the, the signing of the us towel about agreement and laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting peace in afghanistan. and i know we still need that mcdonalds and he this is your media,

a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? tyson lation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? what is break me in a world corrupted? you need to defend the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in the government has to determine which owns is going to ensure and which is it not going to insure and it does that based on a racial, makeup of neighborhoods. neighborhoods that had

a certain number of black residence would have literally red lines drawn around them on the map. and they wouldn't insure mortgages in those areas because they believed that the properties would not hold value. the main turned down alone. they said i'm a bad risk with banks take up that same practice bank side. they're not going to land in those areas. that meant that all the benefits that were flowing to potential homeowners were flowing to whites and not going to minorities, make this element of racism into our homeowners culture. problem. it's not a problem, it's been up and i believe moving down someone to probably be white with them live in 2 doors away. so we pass the law in 1968, and a fair housing it proclaimed that fair housing for all. all human beings is now a part of the american way of life. the, the me

the mandate that the government is given to not to prevent discrimination, but actually affirmatively go out and say, how do we desegregate america? the government betrays that policy. ah, i mind as i travel across the country that whether we're talking about white americans or people who may be ruled, but in other minority groups like the mexican americans arrest, just like the back americans. what everybody wants as an equal chance to have a piece of the action that the federal government has never enforced the fair housing act. and that state and local governments do not enforce to turn around. and again, you can have federal policy but it's the local administration of these policies that.
