11:02 am
cds still very much desperate as we descended down from the aircraft. we what we were greeted with with an air field that is listed with the shell casings, bullet casings as well as mt flashback grenades here, gas cabinets is also being used, sleepers shoes, clothes, children's clothes, lizard all over the place. one of the most striking things was also that the barbed wire. it is, it is everywhere. i haven't seen bob was laid as high as it was. that is, variable walls 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 wildly firing voting shots even behind his back was a miracle that no one was hurt. 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
11:03 am
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 ease being relentless, very harsh and keeping people away. as we drove further away from the field though it must be said that they were much more ordered. shops were open. businesses were open. people walking around 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, you know, the fringes of the country. and now in charge of the capital, people are desperate because they can't get money out of atm. the bank to shop many . we were many of the bags we were driving by. well,
11:04 am
the clothes that are done is promising the to get the moving people be able to get money to pay for their lives, but so far that remains only in progress. so the situation here in capital is certainly very desperate at this top probably on the road now, so we'll catch up with him in a few hours. meantime, russia has begun evacuating people from cobble by that kale stricken international airport, full russian air force planes. a plan to leave, rescue 500 people citizens of russia, but a roost, ukraine and other countries as well. american troops currently have the largest presence of cobbles, airports, and made what could be the last stage of evacuations from afghanistan and the taliban, which controls practically everything. apart from the terminal, says that afghans who have gathered there should return home because they won't be allowed to leave any longer, while also vouching for the safety of those who do stay in the country. so with the taliban no longer allowing the evacuation of afghan citizens,
11:05 am
the children you can see here could be among the last to make it out of the country . american troops have been trying to keep the kids entertain to the airport while they wait for their flights. not knowing what's next. about says previous groups of african refugees and flown out still haven't reached that final destination. they've been transferred to us holding sites like this one in kuwait. meantime, cobbles met who kept his office throughout the taliban takeover said the master patches of sparks of panic response 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
11:06 am
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, political 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 any government or any course of action. it will depend on the behavior of atalla on how they deal with the liberties of the people, what the freedoms of people need, and have to enjoy their the women's issues. girls going to schools, administration being handled by professionals and by experts. these are all the things that people are waiting and watching your
11:07 am
news. women's rights are one thing and pictures and advertising's or another think. so the taller one have announced officially at least, that they will writes to women. and according to this slumming area, 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 are not going to sound 2nd biggest city kandahar in the south. our video agency managed to film the taliban, posing with weapons and vehicles that they seized from nato forces earlier this month. the fact, millions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry and heavy armor being abandoned in
11:08 am
the country by the u. s. and as partners. this is video showing a form and nato bass that the pentagon rushes to retreat. the u. s. president admit that the evacuation relies on taliban cooperation to 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 and 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 planes, they have the airport, they must evacuate all the troops. and those people who are linked to foreign. this is by the withdrawal being well under way, prominent us politicians and retired generals that demanding the continuation of
11:09 am
the 20 year campaign. and it seems that the mainstream outlets of these people are being heard on or ignoring the fact that some have vested interest in the company's profiting from the war world that 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, they 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 work with the military. there are a lot of partnerships and ball. 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 profit 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
11:10 am
happens to be the chair of the company that produces humvees and sets 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 pull 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 dennis. 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 strategies, hardly an unbiased party. another fare mention is florida republican mike waltz,
11:11 am
who made up to $25000000.00 in profits. after selling a defense firm, which has offices in afghanistan. the problem is terrorism, that happens and i can't stand, doesn't stay in afghanistan. we will see all kinds of 3.0. they are working closely with the taliban and they do tend to attack eric and former secretary of state conduct. 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 all 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
11:12 am
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. and then back into the head of a try 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 on a scale of america's failure in afghanistan has been revealed in 20 declassified documents published by the us national security archive. one shows the extent to
11:13 am
which the calamity was consistently and deliberately hidden from the public. back in 2002, the defense secretary donald rumsfeld, was worried that the afghan mission was drifting, but never mentioned it publicly. rather arguing 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 up, get this 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 troops the telephone works with then further to have our exits thread the g b s. table government. and again, it's done. we have to say good enough is good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, by 2011 julian, a sorry, asserted that the ultimate goal of the us military campaign in afghanistan was to generate profits for american defense companies. we can set it to a chief,
11:14 am
told me earlier 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, went from earlier period ca, documents, diplomatic cables, military documents, it all paint the, the, the true, true picture of what was going on. and i'm kind of from 11 years ago. and it was somehow didn't register the, the ly continues, and that is the, the most of pricing for, you know, about the, the current events basically is, and the things that the mainstream media cars come to record with is 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?
11:15 am
the trillion dollar plus the trillion dollars probably under estimate did go into us or pocket the military industrial complex, the, the private contractors like dunkirk who were supposed to be training the outcome, police, et cetera. 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 carol zone to, to pump on the fire. or there were no logs good on the fire, just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire. everybody knows that on the search of people playing afghanistan is creating a security nightmare for euro, because among those playing the taliban, a convicted criminals earlier deported by the u. back to afghanistan, along with suspects of various global security watch list. this came up and talked
11:16 am
earlier this wednesday between the russian and austrian foreign ministers in vienna . slight 1st year as the 2nd biggest community of africans in europe, much more than other you states with only sweden having more than us. i think the austria has shown lots 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. we have seen how the americans have enforced 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. on an, a striking some of their security concerns, an afghan national on britain's no fly list made it into the country on
11:17 am
a military plane. he was declared though to not be a person of interest and was free to go in france. police arrest $1.00 to $5.00 off guns with a ledge links to the taliban. that suspect could fail to comply with a stay at home order. the other 4 under surveillance, and in germany, some previously deported afghans with criminal records, managed to sneak back in via evacuation flights. a hungary for its parts, emphasized that it won't accept an unrestricted flow of afghan refugees saying it won't let its people suffer from the floor geopolitical decisions made by the united states hungry state secretary, i did that, the chaos enough canister and probably could have been avoided what we're seeing 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. meanwhile, turkey's been reinforcing its border with iran favoring an influx of african migrants. turkish authorities are expanding the existing concrete,
11:18 am
portable to stretch some 240 kilometers by the end of this year. any border areas that are covered by the wall being bolstered by ditches, barbed wire, and patrols. the last 3 president had to warn the turkey would not become europe's refugee warehouse, as it's already home to more than 3500000 syrian refugees. and let's talk more about this now with turkish political analyst area. welcome to the program, i suppose those thoughts of 2015 also quite fresh in the minds of people trying to deal with what's happening in turkey. the struck a deal at that time for turkey to take care of the vast majority of migrants in europe. do you think this could happen again? no, because e, 1st of all, did not stand by what it's signed for. and it's still avoiding the trying to avoid its duties under that agreement. unfortunately, the fact that matter is turkey has been housing millions of syrian
11:19 am
refugees fleeing from assad's regime. but now just adding more, more to this with the african refugees. although in numbers, they're not as big. it is really, it's really hard to bear. it's, you know, it's with the countries and all that can. but there's only so much that it can do and what the failed promises back to back off to you. and in the visual the also from the european countries, i think it's at a point where some bearable for the turkish politics and the turkish public. in general, president, do i want europe to accept its responsibility for the events? an afghan has done having been burned once on this, do you think you're going to listen for everybody's sake. i hope they do what everybody is around the table as realizes that the, i mean there's number of reasons for this. obvious, i won't go to in this short period, but this is a worldwide international problem just because we are the, the nearest physically,
11:20 am
the nearest country. that the african refugees secret. each to doesn't necessarily should mean that we should be the only one dealing with i think the entire world has to ship in on this because what really, i mean with the, with the technology, with the, with the communication now bring the world so close together. i think no one can actually from now one turn a deaf ear or a blind di, just because they are physically, you know, miles or miles of miles away from where it's happening. so i think what asked the chip and you should be the, the leading organization in this unfortunately, especially in the way it has been in the last several years. i don't expect to do so, but somebody has to do something. we've heard multiple e u member states say no uncertain terms that they don't know except to unbridled flow of africa, migrants coming in turkey is adamant that it won't do that either. so in the
11:21 am
humanitarian interests where all these desperate people going to end up, it's really a tough question. turkey will probably do as much as it can because we do see whether this is a state effort by iran or not. we do see, you know, refugees coming through iran very easily, almost all point that one can think from what we can see from the recently tapes that, that we began from from the uranium border that they are actually encouraging or just slap down, which is to move towards 30, i think the most and the best turkey can do if at a very odd situation with the, with the local police coming maybe set up some camps near the border. but you gotta realize the eastern border searcy. and in a few mom, the whether there is going to be unbearable for people to be actually even human
11:22 am
survive. so again, we need to find a very quick resolution, and we need to make sure everybody chips and i'm the not just the regional countries, not just europe, but the entire world. from now we can talk again on this is a situation developed for now. very political analyst. oh no. i remember stumble. thanks for joining us on a your with our fee for moscow. more of wednesdays. headline developments on the way the join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me this is your media a reflection of reality in
11:23 am
a world transformed what will make you feel safer? type relation, community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, hello. we got the tiny baltic spaces. lithuania has infuriated china by cozying up to taiwan, which by doing considers its territory. and now the united states,
11:24 am
his wagon on the diplomatic spot, but china's foreign ministers warned that the united states should not metal in other countries affairs to the ins and outs of the diplomatic smack between china. and we see a new or very clear. i would like to reiterate that china has the right to respond with resolute, unnecessary actions, to provoke, to move that seriously infringe upon china sovereignty and territorial integrity. have the solar message for the us. china won't co us any country and won't be coerced by any country. even the u. s. had been to keep the label of coercive diplomacy for itself. what's the? well, that's all stands back to you and you're agreeing to let taiwan set up a representative office in the capital building as the recognition of new in china . because it's long regarded the island, which is about a 160 kilometers east of mainland china to be a break away province under its sovereignty response to the move, china has expounded the way it is. i'm baset are in beijing and recalled its own and voice. okay,
11:25 am
well let's going to look at why this is flaring up and where it could only we can talk to professor benjamin chow. he's from the shanghai international banking and finance institute professor. welcome back to r t. what's lithuania as the goal here? presumably it would have predicted what china reaction would it be? so is it more about supporting taiwan or sharing support to the united states? we're adding, it's not new that the us ones to and so cool russia. so the u. s. attorney is now urgently needing to compensate to losing inference in the middle is extended by the victoria of troops in afghanistan if more inference in eastern europe. so i think news luciana use responding to the core of the urgency in the us, of what you think china, which let's face it is significantly larger than lithuania. why is it taking the move that it has? it's not just about pulling on basses back from embassies. it's also threatening to suspend rail links. no,
11:26 am
any economic hit for lithuania is likely to have quite an impact. why is it taking those measures? because it hits the bottom line issue of china, which is the one china principal. i think that lucy did not. who has, who high to the one to provoke china? yes, no boundary disputed. china only has you cannot make benefit to china. apparently, did us trying to maximize the use of is less and less strategic partners can use to thought competition with busha by crossing the bottom 9 issue of china, which is the one china, peaceable to for india. we would then need to completely rely on the us and its allies for economic benefits. the us wants to have full control of luthey and yet to fulfill its strategic needs with russia. what about the can nomic ties here in terms of trade partners? yes, lithuania might be small in the great scheme of china's trade deals, it's likely to excite, cut it loose and say what we don't trust you anymore. that's it. off your bike. i
11:27 am
think there is no question. the investment which sees in countries which people back ties have suffered. it is true for every country and you know, the newfie ano wanted to be a regional transportation. hopefully, china will certainly be consider the investment in there and there are options for china in europe and in eastern europe. it's being viewed as a long term strategy shift of foreign policy. china can of course, support the submission of new regional transportation. how, what you think the united states is weighing in all this because lithuania is part of the you, it's already in a, a tough block. but i think the message of so for me to send wars including the upcoming warriors clear to us, sometimes it's able to take a country by force. it can not take the heart of his people because to us does not necessarily beauty in the local economy. and sometimes use it many as
11:28 am
a military spring board delights over the people to read and much more after the war. so we all see that the u. s. shows almost all the time to sustain long lasting job political influence of countries so far away. so it is, i think, a bad deal also for the american people to the u. s. u. c took for precedence tree and took dollars. callis live last and 2 decades to and to be unable to replace the tale. i think area such as pie was to see that the u. s. is not as powerful as one thought to be able to win a war or influence your politics far away from the us. and given recent events, and what being an ally of the united states means we're just looking at, i'm gonna start with lithuania, thinks that can rely on the united states. would you have any words of advice? civilities? well, who do us retreat? marconi sundays time along with its decision to withdraw from sophia anomaly. 95 and 2 abandoned critic fighters in syria in 2019 as well as restoring its troops
11:29 am
from taiwan in 1959 on important samples of the lack of strategic credibility in american affairs. foreign policy, the u. s. have failed so many of these airlines making you tons of from the support open night for whatever countries, not of the court interest of the us. okay. got to talk to a live in shanghai, professor benjamin child. good evening. okay. on the way, surely me the anti taliban africa fighter who enjoyed imprisonment by the americans in guantanamo, but who still undaunted, returned to fight for his country. his story as next. anata international the
11:30 am
military mission against him will conclude on august 31st were ending america's longest war one phone. so who did a good, who would have thought the quote unquote, a young girl who will bundle you so much? you got to do that, you know, subtle company is something the cut cut over the whatever the most. okay. that was the quote.
