8:02 pm
we expected the situation to be desperate herein this evil. and we certainly weren't disappointed. it isn't quite the bad ammonium. we saw in 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 guy this time things are a much more ordered. now, nevertheless, he's still very much desperate. as we descended down from the aircraft, 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, cad, this is it also be news, sleepers shoes, clothes, children's clothes, lid it all over the place. one of the most striking things was also the bob. why it is it is everywhere. i haven't seen bob was laid as high as it was. that is, variable was of bob was to keep people away from the field as we were driving out
8:03 pm
of the field. we had me the 2 meters when we saw people trying to rush the main gate annotated baton 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 the evidence he 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 which food, with necessity doing about their lives, work, things were much less desperate. there was traffic, but it wasn't as was in the early days,
8:04 pm
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 a 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 a t. m, the bank to shop many, we were many of the banks we were driving by the close 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. russia has begun evacuating people from cobbled by the kale stricken international air force full russian air force. planes applied to rescue $500.00 people, including citizens of russia, batteries, ukraine, and i've got to solve for the soviet labor that we had other items on. were you unhappy that we're going home and children can do for school?
8:05 pm
i went to the same cry ship, helping us in this situation because it's very difficult to get to the airport was we hadn't expected the evacuation to go to this. well, it's been very goods, rather it's usually taken 5 or 6 days to evacuate. we were told yesterday and today will already on the plane. but i want to thank precious president and defense minister for taking us out of the dangerous place and bringing us to jacob. they fed us too many thanks to them as it's done. meanwhile, american troops of currently the largest president, said, couples therefore timid. what could be the last days of evacuation from august on the thought about who controlled practically everything bought from the guns who gathered there should return home. they are, they may be allowed to leave any longer, while also vouching for the safety of those who do stay thought about it,
8:06 pm
no longer allowing the evacuation about going nationally. the children we see here could be among the law to make it out of the country. american troops are doing the best to take them at the airport while they wait flight. well, that's a previous groups about gun refugees who float out still haven't reached the final destination. even transferred to us holding sites like just wanting to weigh in while cobbled man who kept his office throughout the time and take over the last 2 part, choose a box, a product to respond to his fear 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 that what might happen in the future. and they're also living in a country that is poor,
8:07 pm
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. going to on the 2nd biggest city kandahar in the south. but you, i didn't see manage the film when taliban posing was seized weapons and vehicles had been discarded by retreating. nato forces earlier this month. billions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry and heavy all might have been abandoned in the country by the us on its pointless. video shows a former nato by the pentagon in russia retreats the us president says america is on track to finish its mission and i've kind of on fly the end of this month. the top us diplomats however says different options are currently being discussed. to tell about 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
8:08 pm
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. hello, 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 away, prominent to us, politicians and retired generals, a demonic troops should remain, seems that the mainstream outlets broadcasting their calls are ignored. the facts. some vested interest in the company's profiting from the war that spanned 2 decades for the quarter, the next life 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,
8:09 pm
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 ask and 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. kean. 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 pull our troops out and, and given the talem on the opportunity to take the country over and,
8:10 pm
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. it's 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 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 afghans. stan doesn't stay in afghanistan. we will see all kind of 3.0. they are working closely with the taliban, and they do tend to attack their former secretary of state condo. liza
8:11 pm
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 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
8:12 pm
a tank away out of the base of european africa back into the hands of a trend that in the goal, my goal is to have in looking for some reason the main stream 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. well, let's discuss the situation now and i've got to thought gabrielle e martinez, us marine corps veterans of the war in afghanistan. thanks so much for joining us tonight. good tag in the program. i guess, you know, all the politics aside, what's going on now as an african veteran who served in the country and who made great sacrifices, how are you feeling about what's going on there right now?
8:13 pm
well over the past couple weeks in the past couple weeks, past week and a half, it's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. you feel a little bit you feel, let down you feel angry, you feel up and down. i completely lost faith in this binding administration. just complete disaster. honestly. that's really all i feel right now. the only thing i can say, the only other thing i can say about that is i feel for the guys that were on the ground from 2001 to up until now 202021. it's just a completely done across the board. i read in one of your previous interviews, what are the impacts, the terrible about some on 11? how do you, what water? inspiration, i guess, if you could call it that way, how do i need to join the armed forces and to go and serve?
8:14 pm
how was your impression of the un mission and i've got to on what your mission was in those early days. what the version up and to now how was your vision of what's going on there? changed and evolved. that's actually a very good question because when i, when i joined the military, i was pretty ideal as i want to go out and served my country right out of high school. i had sent back with my knees and stuff and i kept trying to get into maps and i finally did and i wanted to go see my country and the. ready whole lot of men, i'm 35 years old now it's wildly different now it's you see things for what they really are and i feel like i feel like the worn i'm gonna send it over so they didn't have to last as long as it did that we went there to go from those responsible for and then it should have been just that. and the worship ended
8:15 pm
sometime in the 2009. drag on the way it has and cars, thousands of lives and even many more to thousands of on and mentally. how would you say more mental health cases and things of that nature that should just that we're happy. yes, sure. because of course, joe bought and said that nation building was never the mission, never the golden guy on the primer goal is of course to to get rid of al qaeda to find been long bring him to justice the other terrorist attacks. do you think that was always the case? so do you think that some of the ministration is saying now off the what we've seen as many are saying is the failure of the us to provide a stable backbone for the country? well, nation building should've never been the case to begin if you want my honest opinion, nation building, what the hell that what, what are we doing nations and we try that and we try that in vietnam. we try to
8:16 pm
interact nation especially in a place like a denison. i personally believe that, like i said earlier, we should have just when there we should just 100 down the okay to the people responsible for for the tax. and the initiative in the us citizens evacuated around 80000 people from going to stop the lumber still rising. that is quite a big lift operation. probably one of the biggest in history, certain in american history. what does that say that massive escape lift about the american operation? and i'm going to start on, i guess when you i've seen those images of what's going on in the airport. the children being passed over, barbed wire fences to the parents, people falling from planes. how does that make you feel? having seen all that? i think my honest would be for i remember him honest opinion that says more about
8:17 pm
the people that their lack of political will or lack of will. ready to stand up to the taliban, their lack of their lack of fighting spirit. right? it says more about them than us. i mean, we were just trying to get our people right. it wasn't the right way. by the informal dramatically. i mean, it was a rendez strategy because i was meant to use that even a private in the marine corps, or even a private in the army knows that you get your civilians and your and your, your sensitive equipment 1st. and then, you know, you start pulling up the military and leave a mere guard, and then once everything is secured and accounted for you, you get up and get out by bite into the exact opposite. having said all the people, the people in that vicinity that we train that we money into that we stood up
8:18 pm
and gave equipment to should have been should have been better about it and, and, and try to fight back. at least do you think there is a risk that some of the evacuees on those planes who weren't properly vetted before getting on those flights could actually now increase the risk of renew the threat of terror attacks in the us, we've seen cases in the u. k. with people previously on low, flawless, and from the country, the same in europe. could the same happen in the us. now reverse those games if you'd like, over the last 20 years and have a kind of thought of fighting terrorism in the 1st place. yes, i believe that's credible from 2016 to like 2018 in places like germany and sweden. they were having issues with on documented migrants from the, from the dentist and north africa are going people will or is you could definitely see something like that in the united states. i know new york, they ordered
8:19 pm
a bunch of terrorist attacks from there to thousands, even into the 2010 the f b i and you can definitely see a spike in, in not only just terrorist activity, but like you said, or documented where there, where their medical records, who knows what they're bringing up, and then we have another problem with that as well. not just the tears, but like what kind of sicknesses and diseases are bringing over. we're running out of time, gabriel. i just want to ask a 2. and one question really, if i may, i guess, 1st the, you mentioned the previous history of us nation building such as what happened and i've got in vietnam in iraq and what led to do you think we have going on experience will lead to lessons being learnt for future us ministrations and also when you said you could only speak for yourself, was the feeling among fellow. but from that you've been speaking to one and you know that you've kept in contact with what's the mood among them. having seen these
8:20 pm
images broadcast around the world of what's going on and couple well, the modem on my letter that i've seen everyone's lead down. everyone's upset, everyone's obviously pointing the finger out buying. and and rightfully so, because this, this is a disaster. this is bigger than saigon. i was born for saigon, obviously, but this is, he was under, on a worldwide scale that not even the left this media that supports and coddled aside and could, you know, could ignore. so you know, people are upset, the people i talked to are angry it's completely budget. there is no. ready political will, and there is still americans trapped in afghanistan and still haven't been able to get to and as far as lessons learned from, i mean other previous words. i mean,
8:21 pm
if we haven't learned from vietnam, if we didn't learn from, you know, from iraq in the early, 2, thousands. i mean, we're just going to continue to make the same big mistakes because we're not so much at our pocketing the mit. and we're just being used for the will of the m i. c . and that's and that's what i'd say about that. right. gabriel martinez can bet for us, maureen. cool, thanks so much for your time. it's around the program. good to have with us. no, thank you. appreciate it. the 3rd people currently fling, i've got to start creating a security nightmare for europe because among those trying to leave a convicted criminals earlier deported by the u back to have got to stand alone with suspects on various global security watch list. is that something that came up in talks on wednesday between the russian and austrian foreign ministers in vienna? this, they have the slides. chris takes foster, has the 2nd biggest community of africans in europe,
8:22 pm
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 a failed states. we also don't want afghanistan 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. 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 you're 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. illustrating some of those security concerns africa and national burton has no fly list made it into the country military plane. he was declared that not to be a person of interest and was free to go in france, police arrested want to find about guns with links and ton about about suspected
8:23 pm
failed to comply with the stay at home order. therefore, on the surveillance and enabling germany some previously reported afghans with criminal records, managed to sneak back in via evacuation flight will hungry for its spot, has emphasize it won't accept an unrestricted flow of african refugees and says it won't let its people suffer from florida. geopolitical decisions made by the u. s. hungary, state secretary out of the chaos in afghanistan 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. well, i'm going to coast time. in the meantime, i talk, he's been reinforcing his border with iran, fearing an influx about gun migrants. turkish authorities are expanding the existing concrete wall to stretch some 240 kilometers by the end of this year.
8:24 pm
border air is not covered or being both blood ditches, barbed wire and patrols. last week president, do i warn turkey would not become a europe refugee warehouse as already home for more than 3 and half 1000000 syrian refugees to political analyst on a m, toll less america, strong to pass off its responsibility for the african crisis to the nation. 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 still creates the best and that now they're trying to avoid the, the, the consequences of that. they have already started. you know,
8:25 pm
lifting out people afghans to african countries and they have also in the past week 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, 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 of time as german chancellor is almost up. but if her chosen successor thinks he's inheriting a rock solid public support, you might want to avoid poles in the papers. because for the 1st time and 15 years, the don't want to coalition party is behind you to oliver explain. 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,
8:26 pm
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 set such big 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
8:27 pm
elsewhere. that would give us a good climate picture of 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 board, 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, the election campaign in germany is rippling along. but chancellor angle america will step down at this upcoming election up to nearly 16 years in charge. she seems
8:28 pm
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. there's the headline for this. our news use hughes heading away in a few hours time. the team and i can often what the latest together the ah, ah
8:29 pm
ah, ah ah, ah ah, well america was crazy frat party in afghanistan is over 20 years, leaving behind quite a man. 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 group 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
8:30 pm
controlled the marketplace. it's not really a market as a private arena where a single company controls the distribution of daily products. and the infrastructure of our economy is reduce the workload according to amazon. ah, we keep hearing about the americans who are still not sure about whether or not they will actually be rescued while we for some reason, don't know the exact number. first on the taliban control country. we do know there are more than 20 students and their parents from the case on a village valley school district. amongst them will tell you why they weren't going to stay in the 1st place and what we know about their current situation in out of australia and i locked down protesters clashed with.
