in his country a week after it was taken over by the minutes. 100 pounds of people are waiting different give us a call at for to to to, to get a chance to get inside of the airport and have a quick from call. but unfortunately that people are waiting from 3 days. but today that we will majority of the taliban in a press conference said that there was not a little i've got to have guns that indicated to leave. i haven't got to spend any more. so we're just over a week into the taliban rapids and take over what is life like currently where you are? today i went to the tv and i compare from 2 to 3 days before the teams that the c gave back to its normal life. the shops are open and the restaurants are open. people or the people came back to the room alive to the to the works. but unfortunately, still the government departments are closed. so the buyers offer
2:03 pm
a bargain really made a big problem for the people in the city because the machines are completely empty . the bags are lose, or people in public running out of money. if you go to the bargain that hundreds of people are lighting behind it. bigler, when you are the behind the button, but the bunch the big challenges, but that people really getting back together to get a lot to the organ to their life. i know it's still early days, but is there any indication yet that the taliban is delivering on its promise to be more progressive than it was previously when it was empower such as allowing women's rights for instance, while the car on says that we have not made any spectra for the woman to know how to which, how do you want me to go to the work we need to make a specific expect inspector for the telephone under the time that we make the
2:04 pm
specter for the title one day asked the woman he said, to the home, not guys do not go to the to the awards and they will, they will get paid the homes. but the has, the telephone was promised for the people before the to enter to call. we are in the, in the beginning of the day, or in the 1st day on the 2nd visit. the telephone is the problem at all the people witness of security and the c t. people are very close to the and most of us including cobbler city. but they will not go back. who was our government departments will be open soon. these kind of promises that have not been implemented yet. me mon, in london, for afghan interpreter, is rallied on monday against what they call the shameful behavior of britain's government. they slammed the authorities for doing nothing to get their families to the taliban control country and say, it's a strange thing key for putting their own lives on the line. if i was a day,
2:05 pm
if i wouldn't say this holiday will communicate with the people, how would they find out who is local insurgents? so i did a great job, but why they kill us? why? because afraid why they can get our families in the home at the operations such as for in today we come in here and they are just trying to get back to us this i kind of share, we've already shown what we did for myself. have a brother who is an attempt who was an interpreter for the british forces. he was his dentist at the airport trying to get to the airport actually did it from checkpoint with the top of my family as well. so they're trying to get through the telephone check point to get to the now while the taliban claims it took off canister relatively easily, these pictures from the southern province of helmand,
2:06 pm
where locals are facing the aftermath of the militant fishes offensive with no doors or windows left in schools and hospitals, they'll be able to function and there's no sign either that he's going to change anytime soon. meanwhile, more than a week after the taliban tightened the scrape across afghanistan, g 7 leaders have held an online meeting to discuss the situation. it was no consensus, so one of the main issues, the u. s. the drop deadline of august the 31st. the g 7 failed to agree on whether to extend the evacuation beyond that date, despite place from some of the leaders are tv surrounding. as more details, the leaders of the g 7 nations taking part in a virtual meeting. of course the top issue on the agenda was i've kind of stand and what to do. the nation such as the u. k. and frank trying to take the opportunity to plead with us president joe biden, to extend that deadline for evacuation beyond august the 31st. but joe biden,
2:07 pm
sticking to that day to those countries, of course want the us to remain at least couple airport to help with evacuation efforts are, are many diplomat in foreign officials sit and i found a song. but of course, also africa who, selves who works with the occupation over the course of the last 20 years. but we also saw that you are the europe commission president vonda lion coming forward to speak about whether or not there would be a formal recognition of the title bond and there will forward and i've got to start . she said that that's not something the g 7 would consider that very clear pre conditions to talk with charlie bon and shaw. michelle said there are operational talks that are necessary for the daily proceedings around cumberland, the airport. but this is completely separated from political talks or any question
2:08 pm
of recognition. and the g 7 was and is very clear that we have a very strict conditions. and that we stay united in the question of a recognition that is not on the table with the taliban. one question which has been raised as what to do about some of the aid money which goes to afghanistan. it has currently been frozen. and ms. wanda ly, and pointing out that money can't be given and put forth unless there are some solid guarantees in particular to some of the human rights conditions that the west have put on that aid. we have 1000000000 euros set aside for the next 7 years for afghan has done in the development of systems. this a, there's no frozen and is frozen until we have solid guarantees and credible actions on the ground that the conditions are being met. and the theme
2:09 pm
being repeated bar british prime minister bar was johnson, who said that when it came to talk with the father, bon, that's the g 7 did have some leverage. and when it comes to engaging with the, with the taliban and engaging with the government in afghanistan, whatever, it's its exact composition, the g 7 has huge leverage. and today the g 7 agreed we brought them together and they agreed a roadmap for future engagement with the taliban. so that if there's huge funds are going to be unfrozen eventually for use by the, the government and people of afghanistan. then what we're saying is i've got this don canton look back into becoming a breeding ground of terror. dennis tom, a comp become a, a naco state. of course there is build a process of forming a government in the future to be had. but the thought about also warning themselves
2:10 pm
when it comes to this question of whether or not forces will remain in front of beyond august the 31st. they've been very clear if those countries like the us and others don't leave and there will be repercussions. i mean, while europe is facing major security problem this while processing the thousands of refugees who so far managed to get act fast canister, because hiding among those fleeing the taliban are convicted. criminals who were earlier supported from the u. back to afghanistan, along with suspects on security watch lists in the u. k. in africa, national on britain's no fly list made it into the country on a minute from plain he was declared to be not a person of interest. i'm as free to go and him, franz police have taken into cars the one of 5, if you rated afghans ledge to have linked to the taliban. that suspect failed to comply with a stay at home order. and then in germany, some africans with criminal records who had been previously supported,
2:11 pm
did managed to sneak back in via evacuation flights. interior ministry says it's unable to screen painful on the ground in afghanistan. the current procedure is a pragmatic one, that must, which means that security checks on the basis of police finding this will only take place in germany and it was deliberately decided that we no longer carry out checks on the spot. but after arrival in germany in woman hungry has said it went except to numb restricted in flow of migrants from i can stand, i think that the kale stair probably could have been avoided which were seen right now in capital. in other parts of a garrison is frightening, and i think it could bring about an error in migration and international terrorism that we didn't want and perhaps could have avoided. will admit the chaotic pull out from afghanistan, wikileaks, his drawing attention to his past revelations about america's longest war and the series of twitter post the organization republished classified us documents,
2:12 pm
which it 1st lead to the public a decade ago. bank. then we can find that shooting the songs warned that the u. s. intervention would be an endless school. beneficial to only a few correspondent don't quarter as more in 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 is 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 91000 leak reports that shed light on the grim affairs. the u. s. was for understandable reasons hesitant to share with the public the
2:13 pm
unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that is in many respects more grief than the official betrayal to one 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. i'm using asian terrorism. he should be treated as an enemy combatant. so a sounds put american lives in danger when he showed the world how us soldiers actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement. the case by case level in the death
2:14 pm
of more than 20000 people in afghanistan and more than 108000 people in iraq. and so when you want to distract from this, you just make the same session 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 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 wound, little 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
2:15 pm
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 of compound quoting nefarious activity there. but it was apparently not the case. it does appear to be evidence of all crimes in this serial example is the task force free 73 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,
2:16 pm
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 2021. for government contract 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. and then wash money out of a way out of your back into the hands of that in the all my goal in to having people who 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,
2:17 pm
if extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. don quarter reporting that poland does plan to build a wall along its board with bell arranged and double the number of troops. it is station there to oppose a recent him flux of migrants. that is, the countries are on alert over a surge of refugees from wart on afghanistan and iraq. we are dealing with an attack on poland. it is an attempt to trigger a migration crisis. we will not allow the creation of a route for the transfer of migrants via poland to the european union when neighboring lithuania also plans to complete his own better russian board of all next year. you countries along with fellow member states latvia and a stone, you do say that batteries has been facilitating the surge of migrants as a form of hybrid warfare, supposedly in retaliation for a sanctions against minsk. meanwhile, opponents government insisted has sent essential items dozens of migrant stranded
2:18 pm
on its board with batteries for so recently came under fire from rice creeps over the trap. refugees hearing which do include women and children. they are said to have been stuck at the border for more than a week. however, poland has denied the ment tree saying that they are the responsibility of barry. so let spring and keith best now because of the former vice chair of european casual and refugees. and so she very welcome. thanks for coming on k 3. firstly, let's just start with this accusation aimed at batteries. and these are you countries saying batteries is conducting a form of hybrid warfare? were you surprised that made that sort of comment? no, not really. i'm afraid. beller is, is a highly repressive state. busy where there are no civil liberties. people are being locked up, you've only got to watch it on the television. and see the luca shane co is really cracking down on people's desire for liberty. and so it doesn't surprise me if the polish government is saying is true that he's trying to push people
2:19 pm
across the building rules, which seems to be infectious. whether it's, you know, from president for president. busy in the united states, building a wall against the mexicans coming in. well, whether it's the greeks building a wall along the at risk ross river to stop. busy refugees coming across from turkey. we remember 2015 hungry built a wall against refugees coming in from serbia. i mean, these are measures which may be particular to better route lithuania is now trying to build a wall, v you money against batteries, for the same reasons as, as potent. so it seems to be an endemic problem that people keep on wanting to build walls. sadly, they're not very effective in achieving the objectives of the originators want.
2:20 pm
what would be effective in case do you think mean, what could you do to help the situation? what would be effective if you will always get economic migrants? of course, you will always get people who are not genuine refugees within the meaning of the $951.00 refugee convention in genuine fear of, of persecution, an affair of their lives. you will always get those thought. the great majority of true refugees. those fleeing from ghastly situations as we saw in syria. now seeing in afghanistan on the moon, knology out of fear, but hopefully that will not be translated into terrible action by the taliban. but even so, we see these crises, the majority of refugees are women and children, if they're lucky, they get across one international border. but they all say you asked me,
2:21 pm
you asked me for the answer. the answer is to have an international agreement about how to deal with migration flows. that of course, as a result of war or oppression or change in regime. i'm old enough to remember being in vote with the m e. 's refugees who flooded into hong kong back 40 years ago. and of course, their hong kong couldn't face all those be fully, couldn't assimilate them. and what happened is there was a meeting of all the major states in geneva, and louis an agreement by each state to take a certain quota of people from hong kong. now that's what you need, you need a proper international agreement. countries coming together not trying to solve these things individually as countries by building the piece of wall, but actually by having a concerted effort. why do you think the fail to be able to do that amongst its
2:22 pm
members? because it was a huge problem back in 2015 and again, we saw countries failing, they to take their own action to protect themselves, simply because there wasn't a unified policy that seemed to work for everybody. well, i'm afraid it is one of the massive failures of the european union as an institution. i mean, it's been based upon nimbus, not in my backyard. so every country has to be exclusive in saying is not prepared to take refugees. i'm afraid my own country britain has been in the forefront that it does have a resettlement process. not nearly as numerous as it should be in order to try to solve the problem. but you can understand also those countries that are on the front line that tend to take the bulk of refugees. and then when they find other countries within the european union, not prepared to help by taking their fair share to be my manifest failure. and i'm
2:23 pm
afraid it needs for better political will to decide how to deal with these. and these issues are not going to go away. we're not suddenly going to see a pacific world where everybody lives in peace and home, and the within their own, their own voters. there is a massive amount of migration going on. and of course, when you think about it, historically, it is now much cheaper to travel across the world than it's ever being before in historic terms. so it's easy for people to, to move. it's also of course, with the internet and mob means that communication, they can know precisely what the circumstances are and conditions are likely to be in the country on which they set their sights. so this is a model phenomenon which needs a model solution. and so far with dealing with it as they were in the stone age
2:24 pm
case, we're going to have to leave the really good to told you tonight that was that keith best form of vice chair the repeal can so on refugees. and so, thanks for coming on us capital police officer who fatally shot a trump supporter during the january 6th thrice has been exonerated in an internal probe, a conduct was deemed unlawful, his lawful, his how the authorities explain the rationale behind that decision. 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 the 4th, the way into the u. s. capital and to the health chamber where members and stuff with steps the way where this video shed some light on the fatal saying u. s. air force veteran ashley 5. it was short. when she, along with the group of rice, is trying to break into the capital during a joint session of congress, meant to formalize president elect joe biden. think tree case is become
2:25 pm
a divisive political issue with some republicans declaring bobby a martyr. so let me speak to nicole highest now he's a mommy base election integrity activists. an independent journalist. you very welcome. thanks for coming on. what do you firstly about capital police exonerating the officer who shot asking 5 it unfortunately, this is something we've seen all too often when it comes to exonerating police officers, in the case of what are, are referred to as an execution, because that's what it was. even if she was guilty of breaking and entering into a federal building, was not that officers job to behave as a judge, jury and executioner. that was for the course to decide. and it's, it's been very disappointing to see some of the reaction from some people who claim that they are, that they support police accountability. but in this particular case, because this particular woman and ask about it that align with their political views, all the sudden it's ok to see once again another police officer walk without being
2:26 pm
held accountable. ok, but we do have to stress that it was concluded that she could have acted in self defense or at least in a manner that protected other people's lives. that's why they did it to be lawful, but i just wondered what you will views were to on the fact that this hearing was held sort of behind closed doors, given the gravity of what happened. would it not be better for everybody to see the case being held and heard? yeah, absolutely. the 2 days if, if the courts were more concerned about people's reactions that wanted people to believe that the process was fair and that the process wasn't the due process, then they will make it transparent. now they're going to be questioned as to whether or not this officer was protected and why he was protected. this once again, this is just remission of what we've seen time and time again. in the brianna taylor case, a lot of things were handled behind closed doors and then it came out later that those cops were being protected because they were part of a dissertation project. and that in the wall and brianna taylor's house got more
2:27 pm
justice than brianna taylor herself. and once again, working another case of the property, getting more justice and the person who wasn't needed to buy the car and put us in if everything was transparent, maybe my sentiments would be a little bit different here. but based on what we've seen and well, you know, now it's what is another case of the elite and the ownership class protecting their security. the police came out and said afterwards, the case is now closed. but you know, hearing your comments and reading in the press 2, it seems that that certainly isn't going to be the case is still a lot of contention around it. yeah. and there should be, there should be, we should be the many accountability and part of the, in my opinion, part of accountability is transparency. you want people to know that your system is working and functioning properly. and once again, my team is actually there on january 5th covering all the events. there's this narrative going around, the been constant published in american media that these people force their way in
2:28 pm
. they were not, they did not force their way in. it was literally a red carpet road after that they were walking at that point that it's not even trespass. so the narrative to be being manipulated. these people are being called insurrection. it's which is not the true definition of that word and not, nothing is going to be hard pressed to find people who believe that there was an extraction being committed by a bunch of conservatives warrant carrying gun. that's just not how things work in this country. so she, according to what we do for par, shouldn't have a weapon. no one else came in with a weapon. no one was killed by a weapon by an insurrection. and yet this pers retreat as if she was a deadly breath, an imminent deli, for it to someone in that building. that simply wasn't the case that there was transparency. we know how they determined that there is no transparency. once again, we're left, we're left at the same position. we are with a lot of situations with please kind of go in and in terms of the language use to describe this case. i mean,
2:29 pm
you picked up the point that the narrative was that you know, it was an insurrection that was the claim extreme were involved. but on the other side of the argument, i know people are referring to ashley, but it's a martyr is not going to fall or is that just simply reflect the depth, the feeling if go into far my opinion, i wouldn't see her as a martyr. i would see are the victim i like, i don't see anybody who is killed by a police officer without, without a choice or a causes decision to put themselves in the position of being a martyr. part of being a martyr is, you know, you're going to fight for something greater than yourself. and there was an expectation that you could lose your life because of it. i don't think that was the case that actually bad. i think that she went into a building may be expecting to be punished, but that's not what we saw. we saw an execution. like i said, in the case of brianna taylor, i know some people know her as a martyr. the truth is she was asleep and she was killed for something she didn't even do. you people are martyrs. he's got kill these people, innocent people or leave disproportionately punish. he's in the people with
2:30 pm
execution. not say it's in the sense of. there weren't proven guilty. they're not here, they're not heroes, and they're in the victims are not martyrs. and we should make sure to keep all this proper context and assessing it. because understand like either sound like the sensation lies the outcomes here. but at the end of the day, you saw another cop get away with killing another innocent person or lisa innocence proven guilty and is not being held accountable in the process once again, 9 trunk transparent. and that's the real story here. ok, just to let us know that the capital police internal prob said that the actions of that police officer was lawful. but certainly we understand your point of view to thanks for coming on. that was, you get hired to mind me based election integrity activist and independent you in this thank you just a half 9 here in moscow back against the top of the the.
