10:01 pm
a great job. but why did you're just turning it back to us? this i kind of shape we could really show what we did formally as well. they're trying to get through the got a bunch of way to get to choose or break my direct from our studios in moscow. this is our teacher national, and sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with the crisis and i've got to stand tele bonds decision to only grant foreign nationals access to couple airport the sole facility, providing flights out of the country. leaves world powers in a frantic scramble to meet their own august 31st deadline for complete withdrawal of their forces. the milton group has refused to extend that date and also threatened consequences if it's breached. leaving many afghans in turmoil. local
10:02 pm
journalist described life in his country. to my colleague con bray a week after it was taken over by milton's 100 and how is it off the bus or waiting in different gates of call for to to, to, to get a chance to get inside of the airport and have a weight from cobble but unfortunately, people are waiting from 3 days, but today that we will majority of the taliban in a press conference said that they will not have guns guns that indicated leave. i've got to spend anymore. so we're just over a week into the taliban rapids 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 she gave back to its normal life. the shops are open, restaurants are open. people or the people came back to the room alive
10:03 pm
to the war. but unfortunately, still the government departments are still the bar is on the bar. you get a big problem for the people in the city because my shoes are completely empty. the bars are flu, that people are probably running out of money. if you go to the bargain, how does this of people lining behind it? bigler, where did you start the one but the bunk is a big challenge. is that people really getting back to 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 that it was previously when it was empower such as a allowing women's rights for instance. whoa, that have not made for the womans now? how do you, which, how do you want to go to the work we need to make an expect specter for the
10:04 pm
one under the time that we make it better for the tunnel. and they asked the woman who said to the home, not do not go to the to the walls and they will give, they will get paid home. but has, it's probably about a promise for the people before to enter, to call in the beginning of the day or in the 1st 2nd that we talked about in public at all the people which is a good security. the c t. people are very good and most including all the city, but the woman who was are out of 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. he also warned of the threat posed by the terrorist group, isis k, and stressed that the august 31st exit date is contingent on the taliban cooperation
10:05 pm
. 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, barger is 31st, depends upon the tale bon, continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who are transfer, we're transporting out no disruption to our operations. joe biden earlier discussed the situation in afghanistan with g 7 leaders. the group failed to agree on whether to extend the evacuation beyond august 31st despite please from some are to ali 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 stand and what to do. the nation such as the u. k in front, trying to take the opportunity to plead with us president joe biden,
10:06 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. there are many diplomat and 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 european 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 the very clear pre conditions to talk with charlie bon and shaw. michelle said there are operational talks that are necessary for the daily proceedings
10:07 pm
around cumberland, 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 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 is now frozen and it is frozen until we have solid guarantees and credible actions on the ground
10:08 pm
that the conditions are being met. and the theme 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 naco state. of course, there is still the process of forming
10:09 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 and there will be repercussions. meanwhile, in london, former ass down interpreters rallied on monday against what they call the shameful behavior of britain's 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 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 did a great job, but why the killer? why? because afraid why they can get off the people who met the
10:10 pm
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 show what we did myself, have a brother who is an interpreter, who was an interpreter for the british forces. he was his going into 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 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 post the organisation republish, classified us documents which had firstly to, to the public a decade ago. back then with the leagues founder julian a, sorry, i warned that the u. s. intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only a few. our correspondent donald quarter comments the swift fall of the afghan
10:11 pm
capital cast a dark shadow over every sacrifice made in the fight against the taliban. but there is a man who tried to stop things from going down this road. his name is julian, a son. she's the co founder of wiki leaks, and behind one of the biggest revelations in u. s. military history. in 2010, the whistleblower group released the afghan papers more than 90. 1000 leaked reports that shed light on the grim affairs. the u. s. was for understandable reasons hesitant to share with the public the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that is in many respects more grief than the official betrayal of the biggest leaks in u. s. military history. a devastating portrait of the failing war in afghanistan.
10:12 pm
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 sides, 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 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,
10:13 pm
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. it 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 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 lumps civilian deaths with the number of insurgency had killed. wiki leaks revelations also shed light on special task force, 373, and a lead unit task with hunting down taliban leaders. many times though,
10:14 pm
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 example is the task for 373 high miles missile strike on a house which killed 7 children. nato later recognized the children's deaths they had caused, but said that initially they had no idea they were there. the colossal price americans, 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
10:15 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 ways isn't basically you're getting back into the hands of a trend that is the goal in that having 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, extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. we discussed us policy in afghanistan with journalists, taylor, who duck and former whistleblower barrett brown. i think the u. s. government to
10:16 pm
some extent it doesn't really know what it's fighting for, nor the funding for the regular 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 him to office. had 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 that they're talking about has to look at the us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that joined. sanchez was correct in his assessment related to us foreign policy. i think when having conversations about us wars in the middle east and in particular afghan, it's dan, it is so important to talk about julian hassan. and would you be contribution? i think the united states government is seeking to make an example out of julian assad to show other journalists. this is what can happen to you if you expose the
10:17 pm
us military industrial complex. and if you embarrass the u. s. government, which lead showed us through the afghan war diaries in the iraq war logged 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 leaf expose that we should be thinking, joanna sergeant, we should all be advocating for his immediate release because this was certainly public interest journalism 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 ask. i'm a stand along with suspects on global security watch list. in the u. k, an afghan national on britain, no flyers made it into the country on a military plane. he was declared however, to not be
10:18 pm
a person of interest and was free to go. and then in france, please have taken into custody. one of 5 evacuated f downs alleged to have links to the taliban. that suspect failed to comply with a stay at home order. in germany, meanwhile, some previously deported africans with criminal records, managed to sneak back in through evacuation flights countries. interior ministry says it is presently on april 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. meanwhile hungry said that it won't accept an unrestricted flow of my guns from afghanistan. the countries of state secretary has underlined that the chaos there could probably have been avoided, which were seen right now in capital. and other parts of the garrison is
10:19 pm
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 while the evacuation continue. we have discussed some of the security concerns with charles shoe bridge, a former counterterrorism intelligence officer. some degree the concern is justified because often you've got a situation where g to the arctic situation on the ground and we're talking about the ground around and inside the capital airport in some way the list is taking place. not it means that together with the problems that are taking place in people haven't collect documentation, a lot of problems around the actual nice know fly less themselves. what today is attention many times in the past, for example, in actresses. and 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
10:20 pm
happen. meanwhile, in budapest, rushes foreign minister met with his hungarian counterpart as part of the you tour surgery lever, i've discussed, i've got to stand and 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 buddies give us the users of the you for him. policy chief joseph burrell. immediately after the americans withdrew from the dentist and said, we must not allow of dentists 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 your 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
10:21 pm
the against springing come to their country as soon as possible that has been a lot of talk about a potential role in russia could play as mediator with the taliban regime. so to gala from 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 iran, the usa and the russian federation, and obviously with the form of 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 made 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 forum and a 50 to see also he said his country is grateful to russia for providing the foot

nick v. c. and against the cove at 19 virus. he said that without those sputnik v vaccines that his country wouldn't have been able to get the vaccine rollout that they had. he also said that hungry host to be producing sputnik v inside its own territory in the very future language on us. you know, for example, we would not have been able to have the most successful vaccine roll out in the european union. the plan to manufacture the splitting 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 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 a whoop with my dish. we do appreciate hungary pragmatic behavior. as with
10:23 pm
a 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 for the tire cooperation, which was a phrase, there was a multiple time 5 votes for a minute says that they spoke here in budapest, pulling the plans to build a wall along its border with bella, luce, and doubled the number of troops. it has stationed there to oppose a recent influx of migrants that as countries remain on alert, over a surge of refugees from afghanistan and iraq. we are dealing with an attack on poland. it is an attempt to triggering migration crisis. we will not allow the creation of a route for the transfer of migrants via poland to the european union. neighboring it was 20 also plans to complete its own below russian border wall next year. those
10:24 pm
countries, along with fellow member states, lafayette and estonia, say that bell roof has been facilitating the search of migrants as a form of hybrid warfare. they claim this is in retaliation to e. u. sanctions against misc. meanwhile, polish government insists it has sent a central items to dozens of migrants. stranded on its board with fellers was recently came under fire from rights groups over the tribes 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 vest says, while building by such countries has previously proven ineffective, we remember 2015 hungry built a wall against refugees coming in from serbia. i mean the these measures which may
10:25 pm
be particular. busy to better, really lithuania is now trying to build a wall, v you money against better is for the same reasons as, as potent. so it seems to be an endemic problem. the 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. busy change in regime countries coming together, not trying to so these things individually as countries by building the piece of war. but actually by having a concert, 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
10:26 pm
country has to be exclusive in saying it's not prepared. busy to take refugees, americans back in vietnam, that's the curious slogan. the u. s. government is using to compliment vice president comma la harris's arrival in hundreds to strengthen economic ties. that after her arrival is delayed over health incident, according to the u. s embassy there. here's our cheese, john honey with more curious and somewhat alarming way to start the trip, said vice president harris pushed ahead with her trip to vietnam, arriving in hanoi right around 10 pm 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 are at least a statement reading quote. earlier this evening, the 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
10:27 pm
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 have on a syndrome. it's a neurological condition defined by, among other things, dizziness, nausea, my range and memory loss. and i got the name after american officials based and of course have 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 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 hanoi and will at some point, reportedly be met evac out of no way for treatment. vice president harris meanwhile did not take reporters questions upon landing in vietnam. her spokesperson said
10:28 pm
that the delay had nothing to do with the v p health, adding quote, she, as well all. busy is fine and looking forward to meetings and her noise. tomorrow that does it for me. this hour and 32 minutes i will take a look at your headlines. this is our national stay with me. i ah the ah ah
10:29 pm
oh, when i was the wrong one old job don't the rule? yes. to shape out the thing because the after an engagement equal the trail when so many find themselves? well, the way she's to look for common ground was take a trip down memory lane through the history books. talk about geo politics. other 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.
10:30 pm
of economy of never been better shape. we have created a higher standard of living or a country of ours. and terrific time divine never had a defiant house that a nationwide basis home may see. and evan, with a price where you're not going to see the collapse when people don't go right above me. if there is a bubble, as they call it, i hope that happened because people like me and i knew wanting to know i retire economy is endangered. and that means life is most americans know it is about the
