9:02 pm
turmoil. local journalist described life in his country to my colleague, colon bray. a week after. it was taken over by milton's 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 quit from cobble. 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 guns guns that indicated to leave. i've got to spend anymore. 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 they 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
9:03 pm
unfortunately, still the government departments are still the buyers bargain. really made a big problem for the people in public city because the machines are completely empty. the bags are loos, that people are running out of money if you go to the bargain that have this off. people lighting behind it. bigler. when you are the behind the button, but the bunk rate is a big challenges, but that people are really getting back to it to get together a lot to walk into 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 in which, how detailed you want me to go to the work we need to make
9:04 pm
a specific expect inspector for the telephone until the under the time that we make the specter for the month. they asked the woman who said to the home, not guys do not go to the to the walls and do is, they will get paid the homes. but has, it probably has a telephone problem with the people before the internet to call. but in the beginning of the day or in the 1st 2nd visit, the telephone is a problem at all the people are which is a security and the c t people are very secure and most of those including culver city. but the woman go back, who was our government departments will be open soon. these kind of promises that has not been implemented yet. president joe biden said in his latest speech to the nation that america evacuated more than 70000 people from afghanistan in august. you also warned of the threat posed by the terrorist group, isis k,
9:05 pm
and stressed that the august 31st exit date is contingent on the tele bonds cooperation. we agreed that we will continue to close our close cooperation to get people out as efficiently and safely as possible. we are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st, the completion bargains. 31st depends upon the tale bond continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who are transport, we're transporting out no disruption to our operations. job by an earlier discuss the situation in afghanistan with g 7 leaders. the group failed to agree on whether to extend the evacuation beyond august 31st to spite please from some r t. if ellie has more 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 started and what to do. the nation such as the u. k in france, trying to take the opportunity to plead with us president joe biden,
9:06 pm
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 diplomat in foreign officials sit and i found a song. but of course, also africa who, 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 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 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,
9:07 pm
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, 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 a we have 1000000000 euros set aside for the next 7 years for i've got this done in the development of systems. this is now frozen and is frozen until
9:08 pm
we have solid guarantees and credible actions on the ground that the conditions are being met. and the theme being repeated by 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 naco state. of course there is still the process of forming
9:09 pm
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, there will be repercussions. but meanwhile, in london, former african interpreters rallied on monday against what they call the shameful behavior of britons government. they slammed authorities for doing nothing to get their families out of the telephone controlled country. it is a strange thank you, they say for them to placing their own lives on the line. 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've done a great job, but why the killer? why they can afraid why they came to target families leaving the home at the operation,
9:10 pm
especially in today. we come in year and they are just trying to get back to us this i kind of share. we've, we've really shown 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 even did the front checkpoint with the telephone, my family as well. so they're trying to get through the telephone. so going to get to the now as the crisis in afghanistan unfolds, wiki leaks is drawing attention to past revelations about america's longest war. in a series of twitter posts you organization republish to classified us documents, which it 1st leads to the public a decade to go back then wiki league, founder doing a songs warned that us intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only a few. our correspondent on quarter comments. the swift fall of the afghan capital cast
9:11 pm
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 san. 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 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 to one of the biggest leaks in
9:12 pm
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. 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
9:13 pm
2006 operation medusa resulted in one of the highest civilian death tolls of the war. despite the shocking circumstances surrounding the event. it was poorly investigated. an american soldier was killed. they killed in an ac $130.00 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 appear 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,
9:14 pm
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 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 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
9:15 pm
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 the way out of europe getting back into the hands of 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 extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. we discussed us policy in afghanistan with journalists, taylor who dock and former whistleblower baird brown. i think the u. s. government to some extent. it doesn't really know what it's fighting for,
9:16 pm
nor the fighting. pretty big thing. such, it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the government. the basically the manner in which the u. s. has a pedal, whistleblowers, journalists, leakers facts, even before truck came into office. i think it ball into a perhaps, to a, to all time low and things did not improve. and 1656 years i think anyone who knows who they're talking about has to look at the us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that join assigned was corrected. his assessment related to us foreign policy. i think what having conversations about us war is in the middle east and in particular afghan, it's dan. it is 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 authority to show other journalists, this is what can happen to you if you expose the u. s. military industrial complex
9:17 pm
. and if you embarrass the us government, we can lead showed us through the ask in war diaries, in the iraq war, love it. these were crimes were not happening here. and there, this is with some sort of rare occurrence. there were civilian casualties on a regular basis in wiki lease. expose that we should be thinking, joy and sergeant. we should all be advocating for his immediate release because this was certainly public interest journalism. in europe, major security problems continue in the processing of thousands of refugees who have so far managed to get out of afghanistan among those fleeing. the taliban are convicted criminals earlier repatriated by the you to have kind of stand along with suspects on global security watch lists. in the u. k. in africa and national british no flight list made it into the country on a military plane. he was declared, however, to not be a person of interest and was free to go. and then in france,
9:18 pm
please have taken into custody. one of 5 vacuum, where did afghans alleged to have links to the taliban? that suspect failed to comply with a stay at home order. in germany. meanwhile, some previously deported afghans with criminal records managed to sneak back in through evacuation flight. the country's interior ministry says it's presently 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. it was deliberately decided that we no longer carry out checks on the spot, but after arrival in germany, women, meanwhile hungry has said that it won't accept an unrestricted flow of migrants from afghanistan. the countries state secretary has underlined that the chaos there could probably 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 airing migration and
9:19 pm
international terrorism that we didn't want. and perhaps could have avoided while the evacuations continue, we have discussed some of the security concerns with charles shoe bridge, a former counterterrorism intelligence officer. to some degree. the concern is justifies because often you've got a situation where g to the arctic situation on the ground. and we're talking about the ground around. i didn't start the capital editing software, the list is taking place. not it means that got together with the problems that no doubt taken place or haven't correct documentation. a lot of problems around the actual nice no fly less themselves today, authorities attention many times in the past, for example, in actresses. there's also the ease with which people can get run days. in any case, it's not surprising that some cases have arisen and i think we can expect more to happen. meanwhile, in budapest,
9:20 pm
russia's foreign minister met with his hon. gerin counterpart. as part of his you tour, sir, good lover of disgust, afghan: a stand at the west handling of the crisis. there are 2. peter oliver followed the joint news conference. i've got this done, as you would imagine being discussed by the foreign ministers as they address the media set again for all the russian foreign ministers saying that he had concerns that the use foreign policy chief had his priorities wrong when it came to the ongoing situation. global yesterday, but if you were to users you for him, policy chief judge burrell, immediately after the americans withdrew from the dentist and said, we must not allow a canister to go into the hands of russia and china. if the head of you foreign policy thinks in such categories, then i feel sorry for you countries, you're forced to hear such a philosophy and apparently to support it. to me, that is not what mr. burrell should be worrying about you. we much rather look to the against springing come to their country as soon as possible. i've seen
9:21 pm
a lot of talk about a potential role in russia could play as mediator with the taliban regime. so gala . ralph said that russia had spoken to all sides, and i've got some for a long time and that those dialogues would continue with. you might have been helping the african sites for many years. the so called moscow form. it was created in russia with the participation of china pakistan in the iran, the usa, and the russian federation, and obviously with the for government and the taliban. and now, after what happened in gaston, on the ground, when a new reality has been created, it will have to do with it co mediation, cold interaction with the aim of creating favorable conditions for the absence to reach an agreement on their own, alongside mr. law for off with on gary and foreign minister b to see also he said his country is grateful to russia for providing the foot and the v. c. and against the cove at 19 virus. he said that without those putting
9:22 pm
vaccines, the country wouldn't have been able to get the vaccine roll out that they had. he also said that hungry host to be producing sputnik v inside its own territory. in the very near future us, we split the we would not have been able to have the most successful vaccine roll out in the european union. the plan to manufacture the vaccine in the hunger in city of britain starting at the end of 2022 will be manufacturing the vac thing through a russian license. thus, in the future, we will be less vulnerable for gala from 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, did points out that they don't agree exactly on everything. we've seen him that he has. what we do appreciate hungary pragmatic behavior as with the past doesn't put geopolitical and ideological games above the interest of development and the
9:23 pm
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 for the tire cooperation, which was a phrase, there was a multiple times 5 votes for a minute says that a folk here in budapest, poland plans to build a wall along its border with bella, ru sanders doubled the number of troops. it has station there to oppose a recent influx of migrants. this as you countries remain on the alert over a surge of refugees from 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. neighboring lithuania also plans to complete its own. mel russian border wall next year. those countries along with fellow member states, lafayette and sonya se,
9:24 pm
bella has been facilitating the search of migrants as a form of hybrid warfare. they claim this is in retaliation to you. sanctions against misc, meanwhile, polling government and says it has sent essential items to dozens of migrants stranded on its border with bell roofs. warsaw recently came under fire from rights groups over the trapped refugees who include women and children. they are said to have been stuck at the border for more than a week. poland has denied them entry, saying that they are the responsibility of billers, a former vice chair of the european council on refugees and exiles. keith best says while building by such countries has previously proven effective, 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, really lithuania is now trying to build
9:25 pm
a will v 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 the answer is to have an international agreement about how to deal with migration flows that are caused as a result of war or oppression or change in regime countries coming together. not trying to so these things individually as countries by building the piece of work, 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 nimby is not in my backyard. so every country has to be exclusive in saying it's not prepared to take refugees.
9:26 pm
america is back in vietnam. that's the curious slogan. the u. s. government is using to compliment vice president common le harris's arrival in hanoi to strengthen economic ties there. that after her arrival was delayed over and a health incident. according to the u. s. embassy, there are 2. john cutty has more curious in somewhat alarming way to start the trip that said, 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 and now the u. s. embassy, there released a statement reading quote. earlier this evening, vice president's travelling 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, the 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,
