3:02 pm
while threatening consequences if it's breached. last can german is described to us life in his country a week after it was taken over by the militants. bill, 100 pounds of people are waiting in different call 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 on with the person of the tyler bond in a press conference said that there was not a little i've got a call in to have guns that indicated to leave. i haven't gotten 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 compared to cc from a who tree days before 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
3:03 pm
alive to the to the works. but unfortunately, still the government departments are still the buyers. dad, dad, dad, bargain. really made a big problem for the people in the city because the matches are completely empty. the bars are blue that people are running out of money. if you go to the bargain that have this of people lining 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 one says that we have not made any spectra for the woman to know how to which, how detailed women should go to the work we need to make to
3:04 pm
a specific expect inspector for the telephone. and under the time that we make this better for the taliban, they asked the woman the state to the home. not do not go to the to the walls and they will, they will get paid the homes. but the has, the telephone was promised for the people before they could enter to call, but are in the, in the beginning of the day or in the 1st day or just to confirm that the telephone is the problem at all the people which is a security and the cd people are very good to you and most of it including cobbler city. but the woman who was our government departments will be open soon. these kind of promises that has not been implemented yet. while g 7 leaders have held an online meeting to discuss the situation, there is no consensus. so one of the main issues, the u. s. to drop deadline of august the 31st g 7 to fail to agree on whether to
3:05 pm
extend the evacuation beyond that date. despite please from some of the leaders, the rally has 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 thought 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, sticking to that day to those countries, of course, want us to remain at least couple airport to help with evacuation efforts are, are many diplomats 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 and commission president vonda lion coming forward
3:06 pm
to speak about whether or not that would be a formal recognition of the tyler bond. and there will 40 and i've got to start. she said that that's not something the g 7 would consider doubt very clear pre conditions to talk with taliban and shaw. michelle said there are operational talks that are necessary for the daily proceedings around cumberland at the airport. but this is completely separated from political talks or any question 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 is what to do about some of the aid money which goes to afghanistan. it has currently been frozen and ms. vonda. ly,
3:07 pm
and pointing out that 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 is done in the u development 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 now the theme being repeated bar, british prime minister, barbara johnson, who said that when it came to talk with the father bon, that 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
3:08 pm
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 contant lunch back into becoming a breeding ground of terror. gastorm account become a norco state. of course, there is still the process of forming a government in the future to be had. but the thought about also warning themselves 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. while in london, former afghan interpreters rallied on monday against what they call the shameful behavior of britons government. they slammed the authorities for doing nothing to get their families active, the taliban control country, and say it's a strange thank you for putting their own lives on the line. if i was in day,
3:09 pm
if i wouldn't take this holiday when communicate with the people, how would they find out who is local, who is in surgery. so i did a great job, but why they kill us? why do 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. the 2nd shame we, we feel very show what we did for myself, have a brother who is an interpreter, who was an interpreter for the british forces. he was his guarantee stuck at the airport trying to get to the airport actually isn't. did it from checkpoint with my family as well. so they're trying to get through the telephone check point to get to the we while europe is facing major security problems while processing the
3:10 pm
thousands of refugees who have so far managed to get out of afghanistan. because hiding among those fleeing the taliban are convicted criminals who were earlier, t ported from the bank to afghan. stan, along with suspects on security watch lists in the u. k. an afghan national britain's no fly list made it into the country on a military plane. he was declared to be not a person of interest to me is free to go and him, franz police have taken into custody. one of 5 evacuated afghans, alleged privilege, taliban suspect, failed to comply with a state home order. meanwhile, in germany, some afghans with criminal records who had been previously deported, manage to sneak back in 5 evacuation flights. interior ministry says it's unable to screen people on the ground in afghanistan. the current procedure is a pragmatic one, which means that security checks on the basis of police findings will only take place in germany and it was deliberately decided that we no longer carry out checks
3:11 pm
on the spot. but after arrival in germany, moment, i'm hungry. as i said, it won't accept an unrestricted inflow of migrants from afghanistan, adding to the chaos there probably could have been avoided. what were seen right now in capital, in other parts of a garrison is frightening. and i think it could bring about an air in migration and international terrorism that we didn't want and perhaps could have avoided or limit the chaotic evacuations for my scanner stuff. we discussed some of the security concerns with charles, she bridge a for me, u. k. army and counter terrorism, intelligence officer, some degree the concern is justified because often you've got a situation where g to the logic situation on the ground. and we're talking about the ground around an inside capital airport in some way the unit is taking place. it means that got together with the problems that are taking place in people haven't correct documentation. a lot of problems around the actual nice know fly
3:12 pm
list themselves. what today is attention many times in the past, for example, in actresses of those, but also the ease with which people can get run days. in any case, it's not surprising that some cases have risen, and i think we can expect more to happen. we might, in budapest rush is foreign minister, met with his hungarian counterpart as part of his e you tool. again, i've really discussed afghanistan and the west handling of the crisis. peter oliver followed the joint youth conference. i've got this done, as you would imagine being discussed by the foreign ministers as they address the media said again, love for all the russian foreign minister saying the he had concerns that the he use foreign policy chief, had his priorities wrong when it came to the ongoing situation, global buddies give us a user's view for him, policy chief joseph burrell. immediately after the americans withdrew from the
3:13 pm
dentist and said, we must not hello of canister to go into the hands of russia and china. if the head of the foreign policy thinks in such categories, then i feel sorry for countries you're forced to hear such a philosophy. and apparently just supported to me, that is not what mister burrell should be worrying about you. we must rather look to the again springing calm to their country as soon as possible. the house seen a lot of talk about a potential role that russia could play as mediator with the taliban regime. gala for all said russia had spoken to all sides. and i've got to some for a long time and that those dialogues would come in, you was a new mother. we have been helping the african sites for many years. the so called moscow form. it was created in russia with a participation of china pakistan in iran. the usa and the russian federation, and obviously with the for government and the taliban. and now, after what happened in galveston on the ground, when
3:14 pm
a new reality has been created, it will have to do with it. co may the ation code interaction with the aim of creating favorable conditions for the against to reach an agreement on their own, alongside mr. law for off with on gary and foreign minister b to see also he said he's couldn't see grateful to russia providing the foot nick v vaccine against the cove at 19 virus. you said that without those putting in the vaccine states, his country wouldn't have been able to get the vaccine rollout that they had. they also said that hungry host to be producing sputnik v inside its own territory in the very near future. without spooning the we would not have been able to have the most successful vaccine roll out in the european union. we plan to manufacture the vaccine in the hungarian city of britain. starting at the end of 2022 will be manufacturing the vac thing through a russian license. thus in the future will be less vulnerable for gala from
3:15 pm
describe the relationship between hungry and russia. as a pragmatic one, you said they didn't let geo politics get in the way of getting business done. however, he did points out that they don't agree exactly on everything. we've seen him that he has a magician. we do appreciate hungary pragmatic behavior. as with the past doesn't put geopolitical and ideological games above the interest of development and the economic cooperation. even though there are and will be some disagreements. what relationship doesn't have any disagreements every now and again, but the overall take away with the message of child cooperation, which she was afraid multiple times by both foreign ministers as they spoke in budapest piece, oliver reporting that now amid the chaotic, polite from our canis, then we can exist drawing attention to its past revelations about america's longest war in a series of twitter post the organisation republish, classified us documents, which it 1st lead to the public
3:16 pm
a decade ago. bank them with leaks found a june. the sons warned that the u. s. intervention would be an endless for beneficial to only a fee of correspondent on 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 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 more than 90. 1000 leak reports that shed light on the grim affairs. the u. s. was for understandable reasons hesitant to share with the public the
3:17 pm
unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that is in many respects more green than the official betrayal of one of the biggest leeks in u. s. military history. a devastating portrait 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. julie, this is 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
3:18 pm
a case by case level in the death of more than 20000 people in africa. 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, se $181.00 enemy were killed. the logs also say there were no wound it'll 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 appear to lump civilian deaths with the number of insurgency had killed.
3:19 pm
wiki leaks revelations also shed light on special task force, 373, and a lead unit task 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 set of 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 was 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,
3:20 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 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 a money making scheme of endless war to wash money out of a way to the base of europe back into the head of a try that in the goal. my goal is to have in look at all 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
3:21 pm
extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states on quarter that we talked about us policy enough canister with jernace taylor through deck and also the former whistleblower barrett. brian i think the u. s. government, to some extent, it doesn't really know what it's fighting for, nor the funding. pretty big thing as such. it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the government's domestically. that the manner in which the u. s. has a pedal, whistleblowers, journalists, leakers facts, even before dropped into office. i think a ball into a, perhaps, to a, to all time low. and things that non prove and want to 656 years. i think anyone who knows who they're talking about has to look at us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that jolina sanchez was correct in his assessment related to us foreign policy. i think we're
3:22 pm
having conversations about us wars in the middle east and in particular up dana, stan, it is so important to talk about. julian staunch and would you be contribution? i think the united states government is seeking to make an example out of julian authority to show other journalists, this is what can happen to you if you expose me u. s. military industrial complex. and if you embarrass the us government, we can show that through the afghan war diaries and the rapport laws if these were crimes were not happening here. and there was some sort of rare occurrence. there were civilian casualties on a regular basis in wiki lease. expose that we should be thinking, joy and assad, and we should all be advocating for his immediate release. because this was certainly public interest journalism by poland plans to build a wall along its board with better roofs and double the number of its troops. it has a station that oppose a recent influx of migrants, but is he countries are on alert over a surge of refugees from afghanistan,
3:23 pm
and also 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 they bring lithuania also plans to complete its own by the russian port of all next year . those countries along with fellow member states, not the under stone. you say that batteries has been facilitating the search of migrants as a form of hybrid warfare, supposedly retaliation for the sanctions. again mens meanwhile pony government insisted has sent essential items to dozens of migrant stranded on the board with batteries at the moment, warsaw recently came under 5 right scripts over the refugees that a trap that which to include women and children. i said to have been stuck at the border for more than a week. poland has denied dement. she's saying that they are the responsibility of bella race. a former vice chair of the european came from refugees and exiles.
3:24 pm
keith says that was building though, by such countries as previously proven to be ineffective. we remember 2015 hungry built a wall against refugees coming in from serbia. i mean the these measures which may be particular. busy to better risk, lithuania is now trying to build a wall. the you money against better is 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, but the originators want also to have an international agreement about how to deal with migration flows that are caused as a result of war or oppression. or. busy change in regime countries coming together, not trying to so these things individually as countries by building the piece of
3:25 pm
war. but actually by having a concerted effort, 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. i'm not in my backyard. so every country has to be exclusive in saying it's not prepared to take refugees. how america is back in vietnam. that's the curious slogan. the u. s. government is now using is vice president come out higher surprise in hanoi to strengthen economic ties. that after her arrival was delayed over a health incident, according to the u. s embassy there. so let's get more and more of this and go to our us correspondent john hardy. john, good evening to tell us more than about this trip, which seems to have had a few problem to read. well, yeah, definitely. andrew, a curious and somewhat alarming way to start the trip that said,
3:26 pm
vice president harris pushed ahead with her trip to vietnam, arriving in hanoi right around 10 p. m. local time. there it was delayed several hours. however, because of a health situation, according to officials in hanoi now the u. s. embassy, there released a statement reading quote. earlier this evening, a vice president traveling delegation was delayed from departing singapore because the vice president's office was made aware of a report of a recent possible anomalous health incident in hanoi vietnam. after careful assessment decision was made to continue with the vice president's trip. you're probably wondering what the term anomalous health incident means. well, it's basically the u. s. government term and, and essentially code word for the havana syndrome. it's a neurological condition defined by, among other things, dizziness, nausea, my rooms and memory loss. and i got the name after american officials based in, of course, of, on a cuba 1st reported experiencing the symptoms back in 2016. and since then, there have been dozens of other cases actually more than 200 and counting of us
3:27 pm
state department, ca, embassy personnel, and other us diplomats and officials reporting the symptoms in china, russia. and most recently, actually vienna austria now at least 2 embassy staffers, were reportedly sickened by these symptoms in illinois and will at some point, reportedly be met evac out of no way for treatment. last december, the national academy of sciences, engineering and medicine released a report concluding that quote, directed post r f energy radio frequency energy appears to be the most plausible mechanism. according to this report and explaining the cases and the various symptoms being reported, the c i a state department, pentagon, all have task forces investigating the cases and really their own personnel for causes something that president violent has said he has made a top priority. vice president harris meanwhile did not take reporters questions. upon landing in vietnam, her spokesperson said that the delay had nothing to do with the v p health, adding quote, she as well,
3:28 pm
all is fine and looking forward to meetings and annoyed tomorrow. that said, this is the vice president tech, overseas trip, and is part of a week long asia tour that started sunday. during her stop and singapore, she offered a sharp rebuke of china over its territorial claims in the south trying to see the vice president trip has been largely overshadowed, of course, by the ongoing situation in afghanistan. and she's also taking some heat for really not making any public remarks during her trip about the crisis. she did, however, post a tweet earlier in the evening saying that we are working around the clock to evacuate americans and african allies, including translators, interpreters asking when the leaders and journalists, but so far, andrew, she said nothing about the possible havana syndrome healthcare. in hanoi. i k and embedded for star nonetheless. thanks john. that was arthur. john hardy reporting that from miami in florida. just coming up to our past 10 here in moscow. thanks
3:29 pm
for your time tonight. we'll have more stories for you in the headlines and about confidence. i the the i am kaiser this is the kaiser report. let's take a trip down memory lane through the history books, talking about geo politics as it was a 100 years ago, 150 years ago from some big brain sewer to looking at the big map and how that's relevant today, stacy?
3:30 pm
well, our upcoming guess, dan collins tweeted something that blew my mind and it fits into a lot of what the cause report has been talking about for the past while the past decade. and you know, that whole region of the world of the city chap, a soak road, china, china, emerging, and all the problems happening in afghanistan, the middle east, that certain area of the world that we're going to look at something called that i just learned about. but i'm going to read you the wikipedia because it's really interesting in light of what's happening with the u. s. poet losing an afghanistan . and then around announcing that they say that they're joining their officially going to be accepted. and the shanghai cooperation organization, which they have not been and the previous 2 times they applied. so the geographical pivot. and this was introduced by sir how ford john mack kinder.
