is over 20 years, leaving behind quite a man. the off the scenes of gridlock accuse and deadly crushes to leave and all the news team arrives and cobble 10 days after the taliban took over, the senior correspondent tells us about the reality of life. and i've got to stand the bog of patriotism or fear of fortune slipping away as us weapons contract is called to continue the pentagon, africa, and mission wiki lakes editor in chief things the rec. clear reasons why it was the massive flow of money that went into the wrong pocket. it could only be called corruption on a large scale. europe's facing a security nightmarish. thousands have been playing. i've got to stand russia top diplomat assess. there's just one of the consequences of us interference in other

countries. i've listed for military campaigns that have resulted in nothing but a surge of terrorism, an unprecedented drug trafficking, while illegal migrants flooded into europe. ah . hello, good, happy with this this wednesday august. the 21st, so i'm calling bray and moscow with the news for you this our 1st 10 days after the taliban reclaimed power. thousands of people in afghanistan, a still trying to flee the country with the main international airport in cobble resembling a board. and i'll senior correspondent rod guys d as a rived in the conflict where relation to bring you inside access to what life's like right now in afghanistan. as we were landing, we expected the situation to be desperate around this evil, and we certainly weren't disappointed it isn't quite the mooney. and we saw with

the early days of this evacuation, so the mobs and the hordes crushing each other in a bit to get to these crawford to flee the taliban to flee a guy this time things are much more ordered. now nevertheless, he's still very much desperate. as we said the down from the aircraft, we were greeted with with an air feel that is lead. it's with the shell casings, bullet casings as well as deep flashback grenades here. gosh chad, this is the will to be news, sleepers shoes, clues, childrens clues, live all over the place. what was striking things was also that the bob, why it is it is everywhere. i haven't seen bob was laid as high as it was. that is, variable woods of bob was to keep people away from the field as we were driving out of the field. we had me the 2 meters when we saw people trying to rush the main gate and the taliban pfizer was referring voting shot even behind his back was

a miracle that no one was heard. there were thousands of people, literally thousands of people, many of them young, many of them, evidently trying to use the opportunity to get out of of got to start. but among them, elder people, people with families, children, women. but we're carrying, you know, baby's death desperate to get them out of the country. so. so the taliban ease is being relentless, very harsh, and keeping people away. as we drew further away from the field, though it must be said that they were much more ord. shops were open business, his were open. people who were walking round with with groceries with which food, with necessities doing about their lives, work, things were much less desperate. there was traffic, but it wasn't as it was in the early days sort of one way towards the airport. but nevertheless, things are very much chaotic here. people are still getting used to the taliban,

which barely a few months ago was the a, you know, the fringes of the country. and now in charge of the capital, people are desperate because they can't money out of atm. the banks a shop. many, we were many of the banks we were driving by. well, the clothes that are done is promising that they'll get the move and people will be able to get money added to pay for their lives. but so far that remains only in progress. so the situation here in capital, certainly very desperate at this top, will hear more from right in the coming hours. now, american troopers have currently the largest presence of cobbled international apple. i mean, what could be the last days of evacuations? from afghanistan of the taliban, which you called practically controls, everything apart from the terminals, says that afghans who have gathered that should return home because they won't be allowed to leave any longer. well, also vouching for the safety of those who stay in the country. so with the taliban no longer allowing the evacuation of afghan citizens, the children,

you can see here could well be among the last to make it out of the country. american troops have been trying to keep the kids entertained to the airport while they wait for their flights. of previous groups of african refugees and flown as still haven't reached their final destination. instead, they've been transferred to us holding sites like this one think who aid? meantime, cobbles map throughout the takeover kept his office, says the master patches of spots to panic responds in the hysteria that has been created around surrounding the departure of many people from up on the sun. this has created some sort of anxiety among the rest of the population because the country has been at war for 40 years. ironically, know that there is no war. people are trying to leave because they have fears, but what might happen in the future. and they're also living in

a country that is poor, a lot of unemployment. so this is very good opportunity for some people that even if they were not affected by war, they would like to take this opportunity and go elsewhere. ah, clinical course for the country is not known yet. that's why people are so anxious and confused, and they're very worried. right now we don't have the government or any course of action. it will depend on the behavior of paula on how they deal with the liberties of the people, what the freedom of the people need and have to enjoy their the women's issues. girls going to schools administration being handled by professionals and by, by experts. these are all the things that people are waiting and watching your

news. women's rights are one thing and pictures and advertising's or another thing. so the paula one have announced officially at least that they will wide by the law and sharia and islam has given rights to women. and according to this slumming sharia, they will allow women to go to school, go to work, pursue their careers as long as it's in the confines of the stomach. sherry. yeah, it's very clear that islamic sharia has certain conditions, certain principles and certain guidelines. well, here's what else is being left behind. billions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry and heavy armor, big abandoned, in the country by the united states and its partners. this is video of

a former nato base there and it's the pentagon rushes to retrieve the u. s. president admit that the success of the evacuation relies on taliban cooperation completion bargains. 31st depends upon the tale bond continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who are trans, we're transporting out no disruption to our operation. in addition, i've asked the pentagon and the state department for contingency plans to adjust the time table should that become necessary? let me remind you that the deadline for the american withdrawal is the 31st of august. i can very my message again to the americans to evacuate all its allies by this time because they have the capability, they have plains, they have the airport, they must evacuate all the troops. and those people who are linked to for this, despite the withdrawal being well underway, prominent us politicians and retired generals that demanding the continuation of the 20 year campaign. but it seems that the mainstream outlets that these people

are being heard on, or ignoring the fact that some have vested interest in the companies profiting from the war. moral not next from donald quarter, continue the afghanistan occupation calls to delay the pull out of us led coalition troops have hit the mainstream media. when the decision was announced, months ago, i said that i fear that we would come to regret this decision. and we already are, this again, is a nightmare when we were there, we had the cooperation of the afghans we worked with the military. there were a lot of partnerships involved. this is a national security threat, or these just a bunch of overly patriotic americans. it's unlikely you see the taliban victory crashed the prophet party of america's gigantic military industrial complex and the mainstream media often omits that many overly jingle western military officials have investments in that very institution. take former us general j keen. he also happens to be the chair of the company that produces humvees and sits on the board

of another company that produces military equipment. so wouldn't you know, he thinks it was a bad idea to leave afghanistan. i think the administration made a terrible mistake and, and pulling our troops out and, and given the talem on the opportunity to take the country over and, and now we're going to inherit the epicenter of radical islam, right inside of it inside about canis. and it's going to become a more dangerous place. there's also retired us general david portray is a partner at a global private equity firm called k k r, which has assets in the u. s. defense sector. and richard hoss is a former white house adviser who sits on the board of the investment firm lazarus, a firm that also serves defense companies. and we can't forget former us defense secretary leon panetta, a senior counselor at beacon global strategy is hardly an unbiased party. another fare mention is florida republican mike waltz, who made up to $25000000.00 in profits. after selling a defense firm,

which has offices in afghanistan. the problem is terrorism. that opens up ghana. stan doesn't stay in afghanistan. we will see all kite, a 3.0. they are working closely with the taliban, and they do tend to attack their former secretary of state condo. liza rice offered her $0.02 on y. america's longest war was not long enough. 20 years may also not have been enough to consolidate our gains against terrorism and assure our own safety we and they needed more time. once again, rice's place on the board of c 3, a i, a defense contracting company is conveniently left out of our article with all these powerful officials having one foot in the capitalist pool and the other in that of the u. s. government. it's not hard to imagine why endless war is a very lucrative business decision for some stock returns from 2001 to 2021 for

government contracted arms. companies like lockheed martin and northrop grumman totaled more than 1000 percent and wiki leaks, founder and whistleblower julian assange tried to warn the world about it years ago to use and then washed money out of a way out of the tax basis of european africa back into the hand of a trend that in the goal, my goal is to have in local and for some reason the mainstream media doesn't seem to find it necessary to tell their viewers that the experts they invite to inform public opinion on the afghan war. have a very specific agenda of their own underlining some of that the scan of america's failure in africa stands been revealed in 20 declassified documents published by the us national security archive. one shows the extent to which the calamity was consistently and deliberately hidden from the public. back in 2002,

then defense secretary donald rumsfeld, was worried that the afghan mission was drifting. but never mentioned it publicly bother arguing that there was no point in negotiating with the remnants of the taliban. and more than a decade after that, american diplomat had the same concerns. the 1st question of did we know what we were doing? i think the answer is no. if there was ever a notion of mission creep, it is again, it's done. we went from saying that we will get rid of ok. so they can threaten us to say we're going to end the taliban. then we said, we will get all the truth the tell about works with then further to have in our exit strategy, be a stable government. and again, it's done. we have to say good enough is good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, back in 2011 julian, a song said the ultimate goal of the us military campaign in afghanistan was to create an endless war. not a successful one. we had area. we can accept it or in chief, told me that the new documents indicate the groups leaks a decade ago to supported by all the revelations that came out of the documents by

we can use 11 years ago. some of them, of course, were from earlier period. ca, documents, diplomatic cables, military documents, it all pain the, the, the, through the true picture of what was going on. and i'm kind of 11 years ago. and it was somehow didn't register the, the lie continued. and that is the, the most of pricing out there. the, the current events basically is, and the thing clearly may seem media cars come to record with this. how was it possible for 20 years to maintain the like what was going on inside them? julianna's, and also said that the africa was being used to launder american and european money . what, what did he mean by that? the trillion dollar plus the trillion dollars probably under estimate did

go into us the pocket, the military industrial complex, the, the private contractors like dunkirk who were supposed to be training the outcome, police, etc. it was a massive flow of money that went into the wrong pocket. it could only be called corruption on a large scale. on top of that, of course there's a, the, the corruption inside the sun where basically money was used as carols on to, to pump on the fire. or there were no loved good on the fire, just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire. everybody knows that the surge of people playing afghanistan is creating a security nightmare for europe. because among those fleeing the taliban, the convicted criminals earlier reported by the u back to afghanistan, along with suspects on various global security watch lists. a topic that came up in talk sally this wednesday between the russian and australian foreign ministers in

vienna. they had 2 slides crews stick. foster has the 2nd biggest community of africans in europe, much more than other states could only sweden having more than us. i think austria has shown a loss of solidarity with them. now we have many problems within our country. we are not interested in becoming a failed states. we also don't want africa understand to become a terror base. and we have seen how the americans have enforce their way of living on libya, syria, iraq, and afghanistan. they should mind their own business. i've listed for military campaigns that have resulted in nothing but a surge of terrorism and unprecedented drug trafficking, while illegal migrants flooded into europe following nato's bombing of libya. the main conclusion is rather simple. here don't interfere in and other countries internal affairs and don't use force in violation of the un charter. well to industry some of those concerns in africa, national britain's no fly lists made it into the country on a military plane. he was declared though to not be a person of interest and was free to go in france. police arrested one of 5 guns

where the ledge links to the taliban that suspected failed to comply with the stay at home order. the other 4 under surveillance. and in germany, some previously deported afghans with criminal records managed to think back in the fire evacuation flights. hungary, for its part, has emphasized that it won't accept an unrestricted flow of african refugees saying it won't let its people suffer from floor geopolitical decisions made by the u. s. hungary state secretary. i did the chaos and i've gone to stan probably could have been avoided. what we're seeing right now in capital, in other parts of 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. or he talked about some of the security concerns with charles shoe bridge, who's a former british counterterrorism intelligence officer. he thinks the chaotic situation and cobble could result and even more complications in the near future. some degree, the concern is justifies because often you've got

a situation where g to the logic situation on the ground. and we're talking about the ground around and inside the capital airport in some way that it's taking place . not it means that got together with the problems that are taking place in people haven't correct documentation. i'm a lot of problems around the actual nice no fly less themselves. what today is 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 risen, and i think we can expect more to happen. this is all away from the african crisis after the break, how the german chances chosen success has now gone belly a month to pull out all the stops with a public charm offensive. the poles put the party behind for the 1st time, and well over a decade i

ah, with me ah ah, i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation

let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk the whole hello again. angular medical time is german chancellor almost up, but if had chosen success, thinks he's inheriting rock solid public support. and he might want to avoid the poles in the papers because for the 1st time in 15 years, the dominant coalition party is behind. as peter oliver explains happy days for the social democrats in germany, they are top of the opinion balls in the country for the 1st time. in 15 years they lead the christy and democratic union christine social union. the conservative union block by 23 point to 22,

the greens coming in in 3rd and the most recent polling. it doesn't make good reading for the christian democratic duty when it comes to the opinions or public opinions on who should be the next chancellor. either in not metric, also good reading for the social democrats. all i've shown the candidate coming out on top with 30 percent in 2nd place. there is an all in a book on 15, while way back is and lashes of the christian democratic union. now he's been trying to put out some fires and do some, some face saving. he said that he's the man to look after both the environment and jobs. these criticize the greens in the social democrats for overly politicizing. the climate crisis says you have to factor in social aspects when you said such big goals. and that's also my idea of what lies ahead of us. it's not about making the steel industry uncompetitive with more restrictions and having to relocate elsewhere. that would give us a good climate picture, a 6 percent less submission,

but no more jobs. the goal must transform the still industry so that the green energy and becomes green itself. and that's what we need in the chemistry industry in the german automobile in the hospital where the greens in the social democrats say that mister last year just isn't ambitious enough when it comes to climate issues. there's also been serious criticism heading the way all the conservative union coming into this election with party grandees wondering where it's headed is burning everyone in board, the fire trucks. we have to tell the germans what they will get if they vote for the cd used c s u and the federal elections. after years of the grand coalition, we have to press the bourgeois reset button for germany. instead, the election campaign in germany is rippling along, but chancellor angle america will step down at this upcoming election up in any 16 years in charge. she seems relatively calm,

heading into the vote. where fighting all the parties fighting, we will work every day to get a good election result and not look every day at the polls. ultimately, it is the balance of voters in the ballad box of that count. not long to go now before germans go to the polls on the 26th of september to elect a new chancellor. those polls are pretty good for the social democrats right now. those margins are incredibly fine. i would then attempt to combat racism, the museum of archeologist in cambridge and the u. k. is to place special plaques next to some sculptures on display that to explain why they're so white. it's in response to an open letter from students and staff criticizing the museum for the allegedly misleading representation of the ancient world. but there's been a mixed reaction as we report next. have you ever wondered why roman and greek sculptures are white? well, the answer may seem obvious. that's because shifts and the material they're made

off is why that's why cameras, teen diversity classic faculty. the question hangs in the air. they plan to put up signs next to the white blood the cath explaining why they're not diverse and color the university plain. so the current display gives a misleading impression of the whiteness of the ancient world. the cross the cas collection of the museum of classical archaeology, both from the cas gallery and distributed around the lex rooms of the faculty building, gives a misleading impression about the whiteness, an absence of diversity from the greek and roman world. but highlighting the diversity of the aged world may come as a challenge, mainly because the be the 600 piece collection of room and in great calf is primarily a depiction of well roman and great story history. you know, it is impossible to offend anyone. also we're talking about something from a made the 2 years ago, so that doesn't make any difference. what the now is,

the master just by you have to or with referral. what was the message of buck a bit to stager? i think it's a great decision. i think any decision to explain previous coaches and justify that decisions is a good one. the most to see sculptures here. applause the costs anyway. then the plaster is white for formation, open minded people. you know, people discover things. they tend things like, if it isn't true representation, maybe it's useful for those who particularly concerned about it to have a plot suggesting so i think it's fast and if it's just the way the material isn't, especially if they were painted just faded. what can you do about it? re payment of the cache? would you just faded the universe decision to present the sign comes in response to a letter, signed by doctor the students stuff. and i lou me. the latter calls for a public acknowledgement of racism. the classic and the need for i'm 2 races works

with the discipline and then you action plan also calls and classics faculty members to receive an implicate bias training every 3 years. the blacks explaining the whiteness of some can do to go on display later this year. and one may only wonder what will be written on them the most diverse in engine base and you come diversity amongst that to switch are made out of class because this obsession people have with the identity is meant that the university is falling into line with radical. ready left wing. ready sierras, instead of paying attention to actually have an interest increase friendship road. the minds will be distracted by contemporary political gobbledygook. useful tool, it's listed times less than money. and why should you have to explain to anyone a call from a needed that a plastic cost is going to be white to me, it's just

a fact of nature which everybody understands. and for the university of cambridge to degrade itself in this way and to see if all members of its stuff and student body, no visitors have to be treated as idiots. seems to me to be absolutely deplorable. okay, patient about cross talk is next. looking at the troubling similarities between americans hurried withdrawal from afghanistan. i'm what i left behind in psycho and in the seventy's me ah ah ah, ah.

ah well america is crazy frat party in afghanistan is over 20 years, leaving behind quite a man. the ah

ah, i use i lose. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . alas, the end appears to be near washington's 20 year effort to nation building garrison was always going to end this way, a complete and total failure. it is doubtful to corrupt government in kabul will last long after the american withdrawn. have dennis and remains broken and the

american people poor and no one is held to account the cross walking up canister and i'm joined by my guess, marvin wind bomb in washington. he is the director of afghanistan and pakistan studies at the middle east institute in del mar. we have scott ritter. he is a former intelligence officer and the united nations weapons inspector. and in kabul, we have who stock or our him. he is a conflict. peace and security expert art tillman cross talk rules and effect. that means he can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate when you go to scott, 1st, many of us watching this conflict for 2 decades expected this outcome was only the date that mattered most here. made my introduction, i said, i call it in a complete and utter failure. the american people are poor and no one is held account and if no one is how.
