men 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 at least 13 people are killed and more than 50 injured into explosions. so i'd call the ports according to report for us. soldiers are among those who are when did the attack and reported it carried out by suicide bombings. the taliban, as recently admitted an attack on cobble apple, was possible, claiming those at the threats level was considered to be there was a threat that the single person, one person alone can carry out an attack and kill people. this is not significant,

not a big threat. ah, good evening. thanks for joining us as we start our news breaking news from afghanistan here on our t international. reportedly there are been 2 explosions that have occurred outside the international airport in cobble were a kale ticket accusation that was already under way ahead of the u. s. military pullout, according to reporters. enough gonna stand 13 people minimum of being killed with some 50 others injured among those reportedly for us. marines and the pentagon has confirmed that one of the explosions occurred. the turkish defense ministry confirmed the other attack. they came just hours after western governments had been warning all of a severe security threats so far. no one has claimed responsibility. and earlier

the taliban down played the terrorist threat warnings as a provocation. but it is now saying that several of its own gods were injured in those blasts along with women and children. one of the explosive reportedly happened near the byron hotel on us where british and american citizens had been based in recent days is day away through the evacuation. there are unconcerned reports that a terrorist group called isis k, which is an afghan affiliate of islamic state may have been behind the attack and report suggest explosion was caused by a suicide bomber. gunfire was also heard during a recent media conference, a taliban spokesperson warned, of a possible attack on call. the lap or near will be the problem is that a huge number of people have gathered near the airports and there is a threat that the single person, one person alone can carry out an attack and killed people in order to damage the

taliban reputation. this is not a significant, not a big threat. we're monitoring the situation at the airport. but unfortunately, we do have a man on the ground that let's go to our correspondent marine gas davies and couple right now. last time we speak to mariah, the only one confirmed explosion is looking fairly certain that the would to now what more information have you managed together the it is, will allegedly one explosion happened very near a checkpoint, perhaps positive, considering the american troops stationed inside the airport proper, but what we have learned is that the check which the 1st checkpoint we wrote out of, we drove out of yesterday that but there was those plenty of room. so there was conceptual security, multiple layers of security of native troops, american troops,

american troops, and then outside with a tally. but add to other checkpoints, we have learned that the taliban and american troops were well, much closer together because of the circumstances there that didn't allow for such a wide, you know, area full, full, full, full, secure for security market. as one checkpoint, this explosion apparently took place. i'd have packs crowd which isn't brear, it's pack crowds are all around the airport as a crush. basically, it's a permanent crush where people are trying to force their way to closer to the check boards. sometimes running at taliban fighters stationed outside in a bead to, to get past them to get a pass through security. and because of that, shooting is ceaseless. they keep having to warn people away. booth a outside the airport where the taliban has its positions and inside, where it's where it's ruled by the american troops and may to who themselves are

forced to sometimes fall in the air. as we heard all day yesterday for many hours on end. when people tried to scale the scale, the, the fences for example, in a beat to get closer to the jets, to get abroad to get out of out of the country. so the 1st explosion, apparently a very near a check put a 2nd explosion near the barren hotel, which was until recently, heavily used by british diplomats british forces as well as we've heard american troops that is very it's, it's opposite, basically a checkpoint. and the area between the hotel and the checkpoint, the airport itself is also filled with people, which is why i said last, when we had a very low casualty count of just 2 people killed and about a dozen engines. but that was on the lower end of things because from what we saw out packed together, everyone was at the airport of any exclusive device that day to day. even lou yield

sort of caused much more damage. and now we're hearing about a dozen more killed, 50 people injured for americans, either injured rule, according to other sources. the. no, i'm confirmed as of yet killed. multiple american soldiers killed. you know, he sort of to tell you that they will much close together, that the people will pack together the explosions. and the explosive yields were much of much higher concentration. so, so for now, reports are still coming in. people are still receiving medical attention. they're still flocking to hospitals as well as unfortunately moods. the death toll and the number of injuries is bound to rise. but this was something that the taliban warned us of today. the taliban official, the minister, the mission appearing just before that we showed us he gave an interview to us to

our t as well as several other channels. he's 1st interview off the being appointed as minister as information of the taliban. and he said that they had borne nato countries, that there was a threat. he said that they said to me today to that it was others unspecified. and lou threats that the, the risk was lou. obviously it came to fruition. and now there's been these 2 explosions. people have been warned to get away from the airport. they could be more of the terrorist behind this isis k. as you explain the isis branch here in i've got to start, they had him directly, according to some sources already claimed responsibility. so nothing yet on their official chattels. but they apparently claimed the responsibility. there is a, i have a i was present here, especially were towards a, towards the border with pakistan up north near beck is done. they have their own

little caliph, what's reported on previously years past. but they apparently directly claimed responsibility now that they've sheed the chaos that they've caused. there are bound to be more attempts and this is why the tell about also today partially blamed the united states for the situation for their calls to their citizens, to others. they get to the airport so that they could be evacuated. that caused a stampede. a huge stab beat. it is. yeah, you've seen the pictures. it is. i describable how tightly packed people there are, how what the kale sees there, you know it's absolute pandemonium. talent, we had made the few meters out to the airport. they started firing wildly. not even in the air but side to side when people try to rush past them through the, through the open gate trying to get to the airport. so so for now the situation is the 2 explosions have been reported by multiple sources. one very near

a checkpoint, leading into the airport. another between the hotel, the baron hotel, and the checkpoint at the eastern end of the airport, ga to them. or i guess the bring is the very latest staff from cobble. let's go live now to afghan journalist below saw worry. he is now in doha. qatar has been reporting for his of course, from on the ground to cobble previously. but if you can hear me okay, i know that you've got got plenty of contacts in and carbo. what have you been hearing from them about these attacks actually was speaking to a number of my friends, including the family members. they were waiting, hoping to basically be vetted so that they can leave cobble. and then the explosion took place right into the heart of what was a very big crowd, a large number of people. i haven't been able to speak to my friends in the family

members. i'm hoping that they have survived the attack. but another friend was not very far has reached out, including sharing some footage with me, which does shows how devastating this attack was. he said that the suicide attack had been spotted by people who suspected that he was acting suspiciously at that moment. the bomb went off, at least one attacker was seen by him fighting towards the crowd of people. and 2 eye witnesses are telling us that there were also charged fired. i can hear plain trying to take off. we don't know any more. what may or may not have happened, but it also shows you how dangerous an attack like this is you know, closer to the airport. busy closer to airplanes, closer to hundreds of people and for the taliban, this is their 1st basically experience of a deadly attack. off the top over column,

we have to really remember of honest time over the years had the crisis response unit, the triple to police, special forces who would be fighting the sort of attacks. a lot of intelligence, security and special forces operations will always put in place to secure cobble whenever intelligent suggested that there could be an attack. and most of the time those efforts were never enough to prevent attacks. but at least that was done, had a structure. the, you know, of intelligence of special forces of police, especially forces specifically trained to not only prevent such attacks but also rescue people in the event of a complex attack. it was one of the hallmarks of the last 20 years of tyler bonds, insurgency, especially when they got into that lead the stage towards the last 67 years old before because it's been on the taliban, widely considered to be a terrorist group by governments. most governments around the world very little talk about isis, isis, k, this affiliate group that operates in the region. just how strong are that numbers

and how much of a threat are they now going to pose within the country? will they have been very active in the valley than hamlet and so on the most remote parts of eastern wines, especially in the provinces of nigga hot in lunar, over the years we did see a period where the americans together with the taliban worked very, very closely to fight the group in places like valley in south a district. and when our province i even saw some ears strikes was carried out by the americans option color bond with posts on the coordinates via radios. and there was some sort of an understanding between the taliban and former government soldiers at that time, including the province where taliban were given, quoted or safe passage to go and fight the guy against the group. then we saw stage when they saw in surrendering perhaps not the leadership, but foot level,

saunders and commanders. they come back and after a while they were again, you know, heading towards those valleys, in villages because they felt like, you know, they could, they could. ringback you know, restart did attacks in the eastern city of july about i remember a year ago i traveled with one official at that time before. busy my head off on intelligence service, the answer i'd said in a very official meeting, obviously there's a private meeting at the time that the state was using the city about to run its obligations that its sleeper cells and urban centers are very sophisticated in. this is a group that has expertise in terms of these did list tags, they have money and they've been able to sort of crude from urban centers from university campuses over the years to came out, the people who remained trapped. you were one of the lucky few human i managed to

do to get out. you flew out, you know, in how hard was it for you to get out of the country and what was it like for the, for the people still waiting. i did not kill save neil anywhere in the city. a city as i called home, a city i would claim i know better than most people. i know the streets. i know the neighborhoods. i know the people and you know, i'm simply devastated to have been dropped off my city, my country, my passion for telling the stories of the people of honest, but today it's not about me today. it's about another project attack. it's about the tragedy that is never ending for the people of the father, son, and it is, you know, a massacre of dreams and aspirations and an attempt by abeline families to leave for safety. we'll still have to wait in here. but from the day that i have seen the pictures that i've been shared with, you know,

to graphic to share some of them. it does look quite tragically the, the figures of fatalities and casualties is quite high. i don't know if you have a lot of friends, family who will be looking to get out of the country, but you've been through that process. you've seen what it's like to try and get to the airport. the crushes, the crowds of people, given how dangerous studies now and there's no suggestion that might not be more attack. do you think people will dare to go to the airport to try and get out? will they prefer to take their chances, staying in cobble and living under the taliban? would they take the risk? none that islamics state might strike. again. people have taken immense levels of risk over the last, you know, days as you would have seen yourself. at least $25.00 people were killed either in that gunfire or the time piece including several baby girl. but there are people

who fan not be sort of attack specifically obviously they would in the 1st instance, but they also feared the thought of been in this simply don't feel confident that leaving their home is something that they can do. and this is why thousands of ones are still stuck hiding and. busy you know, feeling betrayed when they hear that there is a timeline or a deadline to this evacuation, which is an evacuation at the 11th hour. we know that this is a p r disaster for jo via and what about for the taliban themselves have been trying to portray themselves as a new, more moderate and to see that they were going to re establish control that was going to be paid on the streets that businesses would reopen in life, would get back to something akin to what it was prior to that taking power is just a real setback for the taliban as well. what it shows you that in the absence of formal government structures,

this is the sort of under military that now the parliament would have to deal with the government. there are no more of the shadow government, as i said earlier on. and finally, on have police special forces, specifically trained to fight these type of photons and what everything else that problem will with all the state institutions gone down the drain literally, you know, this is the sort of consequences that, that one people and the taliban as the government, as they are, will continue to, to beer and you know, mid level security and intelligence officers, people who are the task will prevent preventing you sort of attacks against the airport, the security firm that had international credibility. making sure that people who are physically search that there were scanners, you know, all of these are real threats for the future. and, you know, commercial airlines from like the 30 shared lines to fly by money. i went into national airlines would not feel safe. and this vacuum operating out on the sun

into like regional and global destinations. tommy, just, we go below. this all seems to have happened in such a hurry. people trying to get out of the country, afghans on foreign nationals as well. how do you feel about the way that it's all been conducted as has been done in too much of a hurry? what have been the criticisms? my absolutely. there was a lot of red tape. this was all of a sudden, and i remember a few months ago when i was trying to get passports for my family, you know, the price of a passport by club. some possible officials at that time was $1500.00. beyond the reach of an online people are asked to bring the national i d, 's marriage certificate, and every signature which quite like 15 or 10 when you had to acquire these documents, was a top for corruption willis top for paying someone to bribe to get your work done

really appreciate you coming all journalists, blah, saw already that are african reported now where he's been evacuated to cancer. i appreciate it. okay, for joining our say we're reporting on to explosions that are taking place close to cobble international airport reports of more than a dozen fatalities and at least 50 people injured those numbers expected to right. it's bringing dr. lloyd use of who is the national security advisor to the prime minister of pakistan. appreciate you coming on dog. so what's your initial risk for your response to these attacks? is this something that you expected to, to happen in the lives of those security warnings we've been hearing? the 1st one is because we're getting the precious lives that we lost doesn't matter who would be dead or injured. it's a tragedy nonetheless. yes, i think, you know,

there was these intelligence or boss wanting to put out. so one had to be on the kind of scale, the kind of situation around the you know, probably invited to something like that. so the sooner we can manage is situation and all of us together as the international communities where these scenes are not present. and this kind of indictment is not available for the slumming state. better is the better for everybody, of course, focused on board as a gun it's done, you must have had some experience with this so called islamic state affiliate isis k. how big are the numbers and, and how much case could they cause in a, in a very kale take and weakened us canister or friendly? if not, i says one room like a son is being a victim of the conflict sample for decades. now,

since the eighty's being housed or $3000000.00 refugees, anytime that instrument to be whatever group is causing instability, we are the ones who bear the brunt of what comes next off. real last 8 these codes and basically told him guy who would be the budget on since $91150000000000.00 lost in the economy. 2000000 internally dismissed bucket funding. we had never seen this going to violence in buckets done. why did it happen? because there was a fail policy next door in atlanta that we had nothing to do with the door. and that's why i was even today. and we've been saying this to the guy was, is we must do whatever it takes, not to allow long been similar d on, on picking up one is done. we must engage the ground reality and find a way to stabilize the country. isis, frankly, as in the, even though they were causing, ma'am, even in the west,

didn't want to talk about it had been to them. but the question is, how do we, how, and, and the troops in a lot of fun. so they've been doing this before this wonderful, it is been death and it showed you the live on know when the enemies are still them . and so what reaction was the actual community ensure that we do right by the average up runs, ensure that they have enough provision, that there's no humanity in crisis and the securities under control. how much support do you think that will be now internationally for the taliban? prior to these attacks a little concerned about the taliban controlling the country. enforcing a very extreme version of sherry a law. busy do you think now that will maybe be some more international support for them to try and prevent some of these terrorists all a terrorist affiliates establishing themselves the foothold? most of all, i wouldn't say that this natural region there was,

seems to be focused on bank innovations of people and to them and get it isn't. we must remember the average of the 3035000000. we're not going to go anywhere who are not associated with international musician who's going to look after them look, get it isn't, is a product of insecurity back to me. we know that a major mistake was made by the western world in the 90. after the eighty's in the war, the abundance of land is on the abundant buckets on which was the frontline ally and then what's pension. what came up to that is civil war is security. vacuum and 911 is the one now just for political gains and just to look good to go up there on failures. enough run is done to go up the fact that there was an excessively good government that had no link to the people. that's why the army didn't fight. that's why people didn't stand up when it's not on a month. and the leader and the way know,

are we going to make the same mistake and see the western work done, and leave and leave up on a sandwich or much in issues. if so, then nobody has a right to question why one is on this end and also the civil. so it isn't better do that the one engage with the other on the on if we need to get ground reality. yes. focus on the thing. what exactly? what i should think we want the other, the things inclusive government, modern government, human rights predicted governance model. for them, the word must be in gauge and assist to make sure that there isn't a major gray to know when it's done, whether to go to d, all managerial level focused on. as i told you on the brand of this 3000000 refugees, which other country is so agenda for decades and all the world all about all just take more than whereas even one person going to another country did all these laws and prevent directions. so let's not allow them to become dismissed again,

they deserve better, and i must tell you, i guess i deserve recognition for everything it's done for these and it's not for decades. unfortunately, the western world has come back and only said tomorrow, the fact that the my mike is on the too much and bore the brunt of what game does in the vinyl. which was not for me. is that what pakistan will be doing what you be encouraging of the country to do now, to work with the taliban to try and improve the standards of security and of life in afghanistan. would be a senior, you know, it's, i live on clearly interested in international legitimacy come out and given that i statement, they talked about allowing women to work and schools don't the moment the government employees coming back and working. so the messaging is absolutely a telling us that they want engagement and legitimate. now we've got this problem and we're not focused on the entire world is engaged with the other one. let's get

over this above to see that everybody says, oh, we don't, everybody talk to the wondering asian, the like ration, right? you know, so they should be directing gauge money. let's see where they want to go. there should be an incentive structure. the 2nd side, the, where they want to go and the was supposed in line with, with that vision. but i know that given that the best that has happened within a funder son, given perhaps the medicine that we just for as many, there is a sense that we need to demonize what is happening. and one is done present the previous situation and running on as you know, perfect. and now suddenly there was a problem. i was even heading your previous guess. i don't know the one that ability the one, the one it was all these know why this was happening. we now need to make sure the average of the life does not get affected further. they're already dropped and there is already concerned about who shortage. next. have the average off run just

august by we shouldn't abandon of london again and id barcas done was the guy who would be the collateral damage. would like it done last time, we can not allow the was to use the scale does when needed. and then move on. this is a critical point that people need to recognize the sacrifices because sun has made . let's not forget reports that there was, well, relatively small bush that we're talking in the, in the thousands, a group of resistance gathering in the north of the country that might still pose some kind of resistance to the taliban. is there a danger that the still could be more conflict? this could descend in some kind of civil war. i will not get an internal off on monday the end of the day for them to decide, but on for sure. but guess on has been for months and months in political negotiated settlement that get issue and inclusive set up. why inclusive?

because if it's an exclusive set up the history of atlanta, some of the other groups will not accept it. maybe try that, maybe civil tensions and then ultimately perhaps vitamins in the middle. that might be a thing. it is important to see it on the be able get to a government and the world needs to be on the same page on how to have the average off. rather than done, they're back on the grounds again and the region from the pakistan point of view, how would you compare the instability while the americans were in there and what it looks like, things are going to be like without the security forces in that was the right, decision for the united states to withdraw even considering the chaos that looks like it's in feeling you know, maybe there's some failure of learning. i don't think anybody would want to kind of see in terms of activation and then a deadline. and as you'll guess for thing, but i guess from them,

but that's again for them to decide. what i can tell you is the buckets on an almost 40 responsible visual richmond get into a political system unplugged and then moved to the vehicle again it's, it's odin us decision. so we want to question it, but you know, the troy couple of format that we have buckets on china, russia and the us, you know, these kind of, for our pushing what it wants to be drawn. nobody wanted to see the themes that are there all the get us happening today. so let's hope for the best internet. tional community for the long run and bark is done and that's not present real. anybody is going to do them a favor. those who are them 20 as bad, the responsibility of enjoy that don't leave a message behind and a mess again. expect bucket under the, with an a message. not marcus, i'm making really of this question. lot of people watching will be asking is, why was this such a hurried withdrawal? why was it done in a more measured?

why wasn't it done in a way that would have preserved safety and make sure that people could be evacuated in a secure manner? why was this all done in such a hurry? no, no one's offering up the answer. i don't know. i mean, only those. who decided marcus, i was not them something i want to be glad about that. and i think what should be, nobody was, you know, they're wanting each month and they were going on like a son was not in their own. so ideally, gone faith fund. i will tell you there was a structure problem from day one. there was, there was an effort to impose a military solution on a political problem, and that was never going to come to boss. so even if there were 5 more years, i don't think there wouldn't be any change in the, in the final outcome. we have seen how things go out the army didn't fight the album instead.
