4:04 pm
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 banks, a shop many, we were many of the banks we were driving by the close data that is promising to get the move and people 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 is certainly very desperate at this top. laura gast reporting russia has begun evacuating people from composed by the chaos stricken international airport. a full russian air force . planes are planned to rescue 500 people, including citizens of russia. battery, she crane, an afghan stands, former soviet neighbour tajikistan had other me by eating. i'm happy that we're going home and always children can do as for school, i went to the same cry ship,
4:05 pm
helping us in this situation because it's very difficult now to get to the airport was we hadn't expected the evacuation to go this. well, it's been very goods crowded. it's usually taken 5 or 6 days to evacuate. we were told yesterday and today we're already on the plane because i want to thank crushes president and defense minister for taking us out of the dangerous place and bringing us to jacob. then they fed us too many, thanks to them. done me moll american troops have currently the largest presence that compose airport to meet what could be the last days of evacuations? from afghanistan, the taliban, which controls practically everything apart from the hub, says that afghans who got the day should i return home and say that they won't be allowed to leave any longer, but also the vaccine for the safety values who do stay in the country. so with the taliban no longer allowing the evacuation of afghan citizens, children,
4:06 pm
we see here could actually be among the last to make it as if the country american troops doing their best to entertain them at the airport while they wait for their flights. that as previous st bath can recognize and still haven't reached their final destination, they have been transferred to us holding sites like this one. in the meantime, mass, you kept his office throughout the taliban takeover said that the mass departures have sparked the result 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. i, on a clean and 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
4:07 pm
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 freedom of people need and have to enjoy their 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
4:08 pm
news. women's rights are one thing and pictures and advertising's or another think. so the paula 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 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 in can stand, 2nd biggest city can to her in the size of the video agency managed to film the
4:09 pm
taliban, posing with seized weapons and vehicles. they have been discarded by retreating. nato forces early this month, billions of dollars worth and it's anzuedo, marine heavy armor have been abandoned in the country by the us and its partners. this video does show a former nato bass there, and as the pentagon rushes to retreat, u. s. president, to say to that americas on track to finish its mission in afghanistan. by the end of this month, the top u. s. department however, did say that different options a currently being discussed, the taliban have made clear that they have a strong interest in having a functioning airport. we and the rest of the intricate national community certainly have a strong interest in that. primarily for the purpose of making sure that anyone who wants to leave can leave pass the the 31st. and again, with regard to our own potential presence going forward after the 31st. we're looking at a number of options. let me remind you that the deadline for the american withdrawal
4:10 pm
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 foreigners. or despite the bedroll being well underway, prominent us politicians am retired, generals are demanding that troops should remain. it seems the main stream that let these people are being heard onto, or ignoring the fact that some do have vested interest in the company's profiting from the war. that spend 2 decades on quarter explains 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 work with the military. there are
4:11 pm
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 prophet party of america's gigantic military industrial complex. and the main stream 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 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 canis. and it's going to become a more dangerous place. there's also retired us general david portray is
4:12 pm
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, 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 stand, doesn't stay in afghanistan. we will see all kind of 3.0. they are working closely with the taliban, and they do and 10 to attack. eric, former secretary of state condo, liza rice offered her 2 cents 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
4:13 pm
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 20. 21 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 a way out of the tax basis of european africa back into the head of a trend that in the goal,
4:14 pm
my goal is to have in looking 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. don course that will the scale of america's failure in afghanistan has been revealed to in 20 declassified documents published by the us national security archive. one does show 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. rather arguing that there was no point in negotiating with the remnants of the taliban more than a decade later, to an 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 didn't get done. we went from saying that we'll get rid of ok. so they can
4:15 pm
threaten us to say we're going to end the television, then we said we will get all the truth the tell about the works with then further to have in our exit strategy 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, when we heard back in 2011 junior sonjee did assert that the ultimate goal of the u . s. military campaign in afghanistan was to generate massive profits for american defense companies. we can lease editor in chief told her my colleagues call embrace earlier today that the new documents to vindicate the groups leaks over 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 pain the, the, the, through the,
4:16 pm
the 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 lie continued. and that is the, the most surprising thing about the current events, basically is 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 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 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
4:17 pm
corruption on a large scale. on top of that, of course there's the corruption inside the sun where basically money was used as carol zone to, to pump on the fire. or there were no logs could on the fire just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire. everybody knows that me mall. sergio people currently fleeing afghanistan is creating a security nightmare 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 list. it is a topic that came up to in talk earlier on wednesday between the russian and austrian foreign ministers in vienna. side, glue sticks buster has the 2nd biggest community of afghans in europe, much more than other you states with only sweden having more than us. i think the austria has shown the loss of solidarity with them. now we have many problems
4:18 pm
within our country. we are not interested in becoming 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 and, and other countries internal affairs and don't use force in violation of the un charter while when astray. some of those security concerns in afghan national britain's no fly list to make it into the country on a military plane, he was declared, though not to be a person of interest and was allowed to go free. in france, police arrested one of 5 afghans with a ledge linked to the taliban. that suspect had failed to comply with a stay at home order. the other 4 or under surveillance,
4:19 pm
and in germany some previously reported afghans with criminal records did managed to sneak back in fire, evacuation flights hungry. meanwhile, for it's part has emphasized it went except unrestricted flow of afghan refugees and says to let its people suffer from fraud geo political decisions that were made by the us angry states. secretary added that the chaos in afghanistan 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 me while turkey has been reinforcing. its border with a ram faring an influx of afghan migrants. turkish thirties are expanding the existing concrete border war to stretch some 240 kilometers by the end of this year . border areas not covered by the wall of being boasted by ditches, barbed wire,
4:20 pm
and patrols last week. present erred one. it warned that turkey would not become europe refugee warehouse, and it's already home to more than 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees, turkish political analyst on it and told us that america is trying to pass off versus a responsibility for the afghan cry, sister of 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 have creates the best and that now they're trying to avoid the, the, the cost because they have already started. you know, lifting out people atkins to african countries and they have also in the past week
4:21 pm
or so have leaked and confirm 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. first of all, the president, the form, everybody has said, you know, as totally was a kansas and they had never heard of it away from the afghan crisis. after the break. we look at how the german chancellor is chosen successor, has valley a month to win over public support that has posed put the party behind the very 1st time in well over a decade. oh ah ah
4:23 pm
ah, again, without the spool baltic states lithuania has infuriated china by closing up to tie one which by ging does consider its territory. the united states is weighing in on the diplomatic spat too, but chinese foreign minister husband, the u. s. shouldn't meddling the affairs of other countries to the ins and outs of the diplomatic spent between china and lithuania are very clear. i would like to reiterate that china has 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 co us by any country. even the u. s. had been to keep the label of coercive diplomacy for itself. what the, what it stems back to lithuania, agreeing to let tie one, set up
4:24 pm
a representative office in the capital, venus. the recognition has a noise. china though, because it's long regarded the island which is divided 160 kilometers east of mainland china to be a breakaway province. and under its sovereignty. in response to the move, china has demanded that with very nice bass the lead, aging, and recall its own m boy from venus. professor benjamin came in shanghai warned us as a long track record of breaking his promises to allies. if the and within its course fear of interests luthey, i know they did not the whole hudson who hi to the one to provoke china. yes, no boundary dispute with china. you mean you cannot make benefit to 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 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
4:25 pm
allies for economic benefits 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 was almost all the time to sustain long lasting your political influence or countries so far away. i think area such as pie was to see that the u. s. is not as powerful as one foot to be able to win a war or influence your politics far away from the us. the us have 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. finally, anglo merkel time is german chancellor is almost up. but if her chosen successor thinks he's inheriting rock solid public support, he might want to avoid the polls in the papers because of the 1st time in 15 years, dolman coalition party is actually behind peter oliver reports happy days for the
4:26 pm
social democrats in germany. they are top of the opinion balls in the country for the 1st time. in 15 years they lead the kristi and democratic union christine social union. the conservative union block by 23 points to 20 to 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 show 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 and the social democrats for overly politicizing. the climate crisis says you have to factor in social aspects when you said such big
4:27 pm
goals. and that's also my idea for 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 and 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 industry and the german automobile industry for the greens and the social democrats say the mr. lasha 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 bushel reset button for germany. instead,
4:28 pm
the election campaign in germany is rippling along. the chancellor angle america will step down at this upcoming election up to nearly 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, 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 folks are pretty good for the social democrats right now, but those margins are incredibly fine. pace while they're reporting their so that brings you up to date, but don't forget you can always stay across the news to using our social media pages and you check the news.
4:29 pm
4:30 pm
large understood the bargain. you get a whole and then you will rebel. right, as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system, be really interesting to dial back and think about no longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the big question of who the dream has been for our military mission against dam. we'll conclude on august 31st. we're ending americas longest war one phone for who did a good to us.
