12:01 pm
a large scale. europe facing and security, nightmarish thousands have been saying, i've got to stand russia's top diplomat says it'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 goods, happy with a sense 7 an evening here in moscow, wednesday the 25th of august. i'm calling bray without developing stories this 1st 10 days after the taliban reclaimed power. thousands of people in afghanistan still trying to flee the country with the main international airport and cobble resembling of walls. and i'll senior correspondent, mariah garcia, is now in the conflict. we're a nation with an art news crew to bring you inside access. what life's like right
12:02 pm
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 pandemonium. we saw the early days of this evacuation, so the mobs and the hordes crushing each other in a be to get to these crawford to flee the taliban to flee of gather some things are a much more ordered. now nevertheless, it is still very much desperate. as we descended down from the aircraft, we were greeted with with an air field that is related with the shell casings, bullet casings as well as mt flashback grenades. g, a gas cad. this is it. it also be news, sleepers shoes, clothes children's clothes lit it all over the place. one of the most striking things was also 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
12:03 pm
of the field. we had me the 2 meters when we saw people trying to rush the main gate annotated baton pfizer. while the firing boarding shot 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 i've 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 ease being relentless, very harsh in keeping people away. as we drove further away from the field though it must be said that they were much more ordered. shops were opened, businesses were open, people were walking round with with groceries, with food, with necessities, during the bath, odds work,
12:04 pm
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 had 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 bags a shop. many, we were many of the bags we were driving by the clothes that it is promising that they'll get the movement. people will be able to get money to pay for their lives, but so far that remains only improvement. so the situation here and capital is certainly very desperate at this top. ok more that's on the road right now. we'll hear back from him in a few hours. no doubt. meantime, russia has begun evacuating people from cobble through the cale stricken international apple for russian air force planes. a plan to rescue 500 people. citizens of russia, ukraine,
12:05 pm
and other countries. american troops have currently the largest presence said cobble airport. and what could be the last days of evacuations? from afghanistan, the taliban, which controls practically everything. apart from that terminal, says afghans who have gathered that should return home. because they won't be allowed to leave any longer, but also vouching for the safety of those who stay in the country. so with the taliban no longer allowing the evacuation of afghan citizens to children, you can see here could be among the last to make it out of the country. american troops are being seen trying to keep the kids entertained at the airport while they wait for their flights. that says previous groups of african refugees who have flown out the film reach their final destination. they've been transferred to us holding sites like this one in kuwait. meantime, cobbles man who kept his office throughout the taliban takeover said the mass departures have spot to panic. responds in the hysteria that has been created
12:06 pm
around surrounding the departure of many people from up on the sun. this has created some sort of things id 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 that 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, 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
12:07 pm
liberties of the people. what the freedom of the people need and have to enjoy their women's issues. girls going to schools, administration being handled by professionals and bye bye 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 think. so the taller one have announced officially at least, but they will wide by the law and sharia and islam has given rights to women. and according to this slumming sherry, 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,
12:08 pm
it's very clear that islamic sharia has certain conditions, certain principles and certain guidelines. but this is the hardware they've got it african it's done. second biggest city kandahar in the fall, south video agency managed to film the taliban, posing with seized weapons and vehicles which have been discarded by retreating nato forces. early this month, it goes bigger to billions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry and heavy armor of been abandoned by the in the country by the us and its partners. this is video showing a form and nato based their ads. the pentagon rushes to retreat, the us president admit that the evacuation relies on taliban cooperation completion bargains. 31st depends upon the tale bon, 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,
12:09 pm
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've accurate all the troops. and those people who are linked to foreigners, others just 6 days left. and despite the withdrawal, being well under way, prominent us politicians and retired generals a demanding, the continuation of the 20 year campaign. that, that seems that the mainstream outlets that these people are being heard on, or ignoring the fact that some have vested interest in the company's profiting from the war. more on that next from donal 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
12:10 pm
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 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 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 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 afghan stamps. 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,
12:11 pm
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 us 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 the former us defense secretary leon panetta, senior counselor at beacon global strategies, 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 happens and i can't stand, doesn't stay in afghanistan. we will see all kite, a 3 point. oh, they are working closely with the taliban and they do tend to attack. i'm a former secretary of state condo. liza rice offered her $0.02 on y. america's
12:12 pm
longest war was not long enough. 20 years may also not have been enough to consolidated 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 her article with all these powerful officials having one foot in the capitalist pool and the other. and 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 wash money out of the way out of the tax base of european africa and back into the head of
12:13 pm
a trend. that is 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. because the scale is america's failure in afghanistan, spin revealed in 20 declassified documents, published by the us national security archive. one of them shows the extent to 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 that there was no point in negotiating with the remnants of the taliban and more than a decade after that's an american diplomat had the same consent. the 1st question of did we know what we were doing?
12:14 pm
i think the answer is no. if there was ever a notion of mission creep up again, it's done. we went from saying, we'll 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 exit strategy b. s. table government. and again, it's done. we have to say good enough, a good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, let you heard earlier back in 2011 julian, a song said that the ultimate goal of the us military campaign in afghanistan was to generate massive profits for american defense companies. wiki, wiki leaks. current editor in chief told me earlier the, the new documents vindicate 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 truth drew
12:15 pm
a 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 surprising thing about 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 law? what was going on inside julian, 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 or 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
12:16 pm
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 the surge of people fleeing afghanistan, his lining of a security headache for europe. because among those fleeing, the taliban are convicted criminals earlier deported by the u back to afghanistan, along with suspects on various global security watch lists. it's a topic that came up in talk sally this wednesday between the russian and austrian foreign ministers in vienna. they had 2 slides. chris foster has the 2nd biggest community of afghans in europe, much more than other you states with only sweden having more than us. i think austria has shown lots of solidarity with them. now we have many problems within our country. we are not interested in becoming
12:17 pm
a failed states. we also don't want africa understand to become a tara 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, have 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 or illustrating some of those security concerns in africa. national on britain's no fly list made it into the country on a military plane. he was declared though to not be a person of interest was free to go. in france, police arrested one to 5 guns alleged with alleged links to the taliban. now that suspect failed 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. while hungry for its part is emphasized that it won't accept an
12:18 pm
unrestricted flow of african refugees. saying that each people suffer from floor geopolitical decisions made by the us hungry state secretary out of that, the chaos and i've got to stand probably could have been avoided, which 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. meanwhile, turkey, it's been reinforcing its board with iran, fearing an influx of africa migrants took his authority or expanding the existing concrete board of all to stretch some 240 kilometers by the end of this year. and he bought a area is not covered by the war. going to be bolstered by ditches, barbed wire and patrols. last week president ado on board the turkey would not become europe refugee warehouse, because it's already home to more than 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees. a lot out turkish political analyst on an era told
12:19 pm
me that americans trying to pass off its responsibility for the african crisis of the nations. this is a worldwide international problem, just because we are the, the nearest, physically, the nearest country. that the african refugees seek refuge to doesn't necessarily should mean that we should be the only one dealing with turkey has been housing millions of syrian refugees. now adding more to this, it's really hard to bear with us is undoubtedly the only source of what's going on that can stand right now. they've created the best and that now they're trying to avoid the, the consequences of that. they have already started, you know, lifting out people afghans to african countries and they have also in the past week or so have leaked. i'm calling for statements to the media from the back channels that the cherokee may, may accept. most of these refugees on behalf of to us and the, the turkish,
12:20 pm
1st of all, research president, the form this or everybody has said, you know, as totally was a kansas and they had never heard of it. this is all see away from the afghan crisis after the break. how the german chancellor chosen successor has got barely a month to pull out all the stops for the public charm offensive. as the polls put the policy behind for the 1st time in, well over a decade. oh, i use i use ah,
12:21 pm
me. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, 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, very critical time time to sit down and talk me ah ah, hello again. now the small baltic state of lithuania has infuriated china by
12:22 pm
cozying up to taiwan, which page is considered its territory now also the united states is weighing in the diplomatic spot. but china's foreign ministers warmed the u. s. should not metal in other countries affairs. they to the ins and outs of the diplomatic spat between china and lithuania, are very clear. i would like to reiterate that china had the right to respond with resolute, unnecessary actions to provoke, to move the 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 will this stems back to? the few i knew were agreeing to let taiwan set up a representative office in the capital building. that recognition has annoyed 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. in response to the move,
12:23 pm
china is expelled, lithuanian, bassett, or in beijing and recalled its own. m. boy, a professor benjamin chow in shanghai wants that the united states has a long track record of breaking its promises to allies if they are within its course fear of interest. a movie. i know they do not. who has, who high to the one to provoke china? yes, no boundary dispute with china. you cannot make benefits with china. apparently, did us trying to maximize the use of is less and less strategic partners can use to afford competition. we push by crossing day, but to night issue of china, which is the one china peaceable. if any, we would then need to completely rely on the us and its allies for economic benefit to us wants to have full control of luthey and yet to fulfill its strategic needs. we've russia, so we all see that the us trail is almost all the time to sustain long last to your political influence of countries so far away. i think area such as pie was to see
12:24 pm
that the u. s. is not as powerful as one ford to be able to win a war or influence your politics far away from the us. the u. s. has failed. so many of these allies making new tons of from the support open night for whatever countries not of the court interest of the us. angular medical type is german, chancellor is almost up. but if a chosen successor thinks he's inheriting rock solid public support, 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 explained, 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, christie and social union. the conservative union block by 23.222, the greens coming in in 3rd, in 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
12:25 pm
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 to 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 and the social democrats for overly politicizing. the climate crisis says you have to factor in social aspects when you set 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 plan, a picture, a 6 percent less emissions, but no more jobs. the goal must be to transform the still industry so that it uses green energy and becomes green itself. and that's what we need in the chemistry
12:26 pm
industry in the german automobile industry. for 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 the fire trucks. we have to tell the germans what they will get if they vote for the c d, u. c. s. u and the federal elections. after years of the grand coalition, we have to press the bush reset button for germany. instead, the election campaign in germany is rippling along. the chancellor angle and echo will step down at this upcoming election of any 16 years in charge. she seems relatively calm, heading into the vote. we are 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,
12:27 pm
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 the new chancellor . those polls are pretty good for the social democrats right now, but those margins are incredibly fine. but never underestimate the voters come september 26. right, that's it for me. scottie, now he's in. the american team in washington are up next after which andrew pharma has your next update right here in just over half an hour. bye bye. mm. ah. welcome to that financing survival guys. looking forward to your investment go this is what happens the patches in britain delicate after you watch kaiser report . hello, driven by
12:28 pm
a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask me. american love by an armed, ah, this is a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain. you get a whole and then you will rebel, right? that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial back and think about
12:29 pm
the longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff, based on, you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its grip on the world that was like an inquiry like a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trays like a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controlled the marketplace. it's not really a market, it's a private arena world where a single company controls the distribution of daily products. and the
12:30 pm
infrastructure of our economy is reduce the workload according to amazon. ah ah, vice president here, it has accused beijing of intimidation and coercion in the south trying to see pledging american action in a open and free and pacific. the strong words were delivered on her 2nd of 7 day. she had spinning in the singapore and vietnam region, hoping to sharp support the ministrations agenda and dealing with chinese security and economic influence. we're going to break down the vice president trip and what the administration hoped to accomplish. this is china is on the un says the us army and their coalition partners should be held accountable for allegedly by.
