always good to have you with us. hello and welcome. well jumping right in afghanistan, reeling from a devastating double bomb attack in the capitals and now taliban run the country to explosions, rocks the international airport. the current at the center of western evacuation efforts, $170.00 people were killed, including american military personnel. some $200.00 more were injured according to the latest reports, islamic state correson, which is the regional affiliate of isis as it was behind the atrocity. just to warn you, there are some graphic images coming up. while one of the blas happened doesn't entrance to the airport, we're down to waiting in line to be processed to fly out. bodies were thrown into a sewer train, located nearby and exposed to fax is said to be used in one of the attacks. the other plans shook canaria around a hotel where british officials were processing guns to flight the u. k. 13 us
11:03 am
service members were among the dad along with 28th taliban numbers. i'll tease more . i got stands in cobble and told us how the cities faring off to the tragic events . the situation so far this morning is somewhat cob of and it was yesterday, but we kept hearing as many as half a dozen explosions. and this is after the to terrorist bomb block at the airport. some of them are explained by the trailer, bad to, to the local population. as, as control detonations carried out by american servicemen destroying their assets, equipment that they don't want to leave behind. and that they can't evacuate, nevertheless, things that hasn't been the sort of shooting we had overnighted and the sirens that we heard yesterday. but from what we understand, and this is, it has been confirmed to us by, by numerous sources there were such as and raids carried out throughout the city over the course of tonight. and this this morning as well. those searches and
11:04 am
grades are still ongoing. the terror threats at the airport is still high. you may have seen footage from the airport this morning. the crowds never went away. it's. it's very difficult to describe just how many people there are at the airport now. how tightly packed together they are and how impossibilities to, to, to vet them, to sort of pack them all down before they get to the fence. before they get to the various check boards, thousands and thousands of people packed together screaming, jocelyn, shoving, trying to get into the airport, that hasn't changed. and nato countries as well as the taliban. all warning with the crowds must disperse for their own safety. those who carried out these, these attacks, they saw the cottage that they caused, isis allegedly has claimed responsibility and the, the threat to ease. and the, the fear here is that they'll try again,
11:05 am
which is why we're seeing these searches carried out. now these raids by the taliban fighters allegedly coordinating with us forces, but as i said, the situation remains tense. not quite as bad as it was yesterday, but nevertheless far from com, while the following figure was apparently taken off to one of the explosions. and it was sent to us by witness the between the 2 blocks shot through se reported on site though it's unclear who fired them. we spoke to mind behind the video who was just 10 meters away from one of the station. this was something that we are living in probably like for 20 years or more than that. i hadn't witnessed. first thing that's hard. our eyes were. i was full of years and all we couldn't breathe. the
11:06 am
oxygen was all like good. there was no oxygen at that. time after that, when that happened, the americans just shot the fire. i mean, they opened the guns at the people, there was only one exam and that was near the explosion area. so when they tried to push me and like i really tried to reach my on and then, but i couldn't dave for me and i thought that my aunt and her children's drug, stan, pete, or there are maybe god forbid, they might be good by now. so when i went there and saw them, i was really thankful for that. they were like, we saw many, many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people were laying beer dead. i mean,
11:07 am
it was a really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just didn't that just don't look at them. just look at it was. so, i mean this is maybe bad for sure. and someone sussing video here showing covered 14 lying in the street ahead of the black u. k. u. s. and the western nations had been warning the national about the threat of a severe terror attack, advising them to avoid the airport. the witness we spoke to says americans have failed, the afghan people, stuff was, we feel abandoned. that's because all these people, those who are trying to get in there for they are having some documents that they can go. but the are the people like actually doesn't have anything. all these you have to do and media is in the news. so lots of them doesn't have any legal documents that they are trying to get out. there are like more than $20000.00 polygons. but right now,
11:08 am
this thing is all messed up automated. i don't know why the americans are not processing then anymore. but lots of people just like us are striking and hearing and know everyone is trying, you know, just to get out of this country of this situation and run from taliban. so yes, be left abandoned. we are left behind. we just want, you know, to get out of this country as soon as possible, before you know the situation and get more critical when many of those entered in the attack on now in the hospital, some fighting for their lives. we spoke one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the vision and the for this invited us to come near the door. i was near the gate when the explosion occurred. i saw myself falling to the ground and when i stood up, i told the dog last one side of my abdomen. and then they brought me to hospital

one of the wounded. the isis, a splinter group behind the state. bombings has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan on and launch the savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015. with more details on the group, his equal sign of the dreaded name of ice, it had all but vanished from international headlines. but now, amid the afghan power vacuum, the terror group has apparently struck again the . the double strike right outside couple airport killed dozens, but to no avail. every day were on the ground is another day we know that i c. k is seeking to target the airport attack, both us and allied forces and innocent civilians. as we conduct these operations, we are sustaining the highest level of vigilance for an attack against the airport by isis k or another terrorist group,
11:10 am
or commanders on the ground have taken every step they can to prepare for such an attack. isis k is an african off shoot of the same notorious islamic state terror group. it's based in korea sun, hence the letter k in the abbreviation with over 2000 g. hardy's committed to its terrible cause. the group targets have ghana stones most vulnerable the the use
11:11 am
if you think this may have been isis case law strike at the exiting foreign troops before a happy union with the taliban? well think again. the 2 groups are sworn enemies with the taliban just not radical enough in the eyes of isis k. the islamic emery strongly condemns the bombing targeting civilians at cocoa airports. the explosion took place in an area where us forces are responsible for security. the bottom line is isis k presents a massive security and reputational challenge for the taliban. given the taliban attempts to look more civil, humane and legitimate, we could conceivably soon see. i mean, strange as it sounds, a taliban lead anti terrorist opperation or isis k might become the perfect pretext for the us to negotiate at least some presence in talib,
11:12 am
uncontrolled of galveston. we did hear about this group, for example, and i believe, april 2017. when trump and essentially authorized the pentagon to drop the mother of all bombs in eastern afghanistan, i believe in the nun go har province on isis k. but the roots of this group and its existence is poorly understood. and of course, when we hear these press briefings at the pentagon, there's very little context. this group actually is a direct byproduct of the us invasion and occupation of afghanistan. it grew out of the pakistan italian bonds who were a disgruntled tolerable members who wanted to carry out attacks on us targets inside pakistan and afghanistan. one of their most spectacular attacks was on camped camp chapman, u. s. military base where they used a c. i turn coat to attack us soldiers. there are several. busy other attacks on american assets and this all led to a rise of terrorism inside pockets on directly related to the u. s. presence in
11:13 am
afghanistan, 6 years ago, the pakistani taliban, which was widely suspected of being used by the african government, backed by the u. s. against pakistan turned into isis k central. it's the same thing as isis. so most viewers with no slumming state of iraq and syria, isis, which was this group that took over in 2014, 2015 big swats of iraq and syria. and by the way, who were able to do that because of massive amounts of military equipment that the us left behind, specifically in iraq, that's where they really got their weapons from. they went into iraq, took those home these and weapons and went back into syria. isis k, which is the flemish state of correson, which essentially means eastern. they don't like the taliban, they're not friends with the taliban. they've been fighting the taliban. but more importantly, they've been fighting the us and i bring up the point about the weapons because we just did the exact same thing and get us and left behind. unbelievable amounts of us military equipment,
11:14 am
massive amounts of weaponry and guns black hawk helicopters from these. we left it all there the same way that we did in iraq. so we could be creating a very similar problem of what we saw 20142015 with the other isis i. c, k is far from being the only facts unable to carry out such attacks as the warning for miasca national resistance front which controls the pantry valley and area now seen as the center of the anti town about position its formulations had believes the terror threat in the country right now, even higher than 20 years ago. it could be isis cable. we think there are, there are other elements plan the attacks and might have perpetrated such attacks against us soldiers and was a terrorist attack on the watch of the taliban. a group that says we are able to provide security and now in one day we see numerous terrorist attacks happening on the watch, unfortunate b international terrorism and get us on as much stronger compared to 2001. this is
11:15 am
something that the national resistance front of afghan on has been saying for the past year. we believe the international community should help our efforts to combat to national terrorism and afghans in 1900 on the, to the international community. abandoned scanning them. and we saw how again us on became a haven for terrorists groups. the see will happen if the international community abandons that can. it's into 2021. there's no pose threat towards everyone. no one is an exempt and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world or the eastern us, he managed to speak with the ton of bonds. spokespersons apple who love to hear on a range of issues including fighting drug trafficking and the threat posed by potential resistance forces in the north. the country the hello, i'm sorry,
11:16 am
really sorry about what happened. a couple add port for our part. we've taken measures to avoid these unwanted events. of course, the responsibility lies with the americans. they tell people to gather the field, they say we will take you out. there was hustle and bustle. the americans open fire people. many were trampled in it, crushed many died by august the 31st. the americans must have played the evacuation of their employees. the mo maitland, for the pansies head, it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people to who would like to continue the war umbrella and afterward my suit. we've repeatedly appealed to magnitude to resolve the existing problems through negotiations. and there is no need for a military confrontation. we've not received an answer to our calls, and that's not a problem either. or i'm forced as a station nearby pension here to keep the situation under control. over
11:17 am
more than the current situation is entirely dependent on the afghans and no one else. we're not going to become a threat to the states bordering us using the g o strategic factor. we have good relations with tajikistan is back as many as tom pakistan bron china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, harm or damage from our territory. the by the law has for drugs, we have a far reaching plan to prevent drug production. currently, about 3000000 afghans rejected to drugs. this is this side phenomenon for us. we'll try to nullify the cultivation and production of drugs in 2001 the cultivation and production of opiates would not eradicated work in this direction as well. in some provinces, the sewing and collection of drugs is still ongoing. and here we need cooperation not only with the countries the region, but also with other interested state, went down. 13 soldiers killed 18 in just a grand total of states,
11:18 am
a tax for the american army. it came off nearly 20 years of us military presence and our kindest on the professed goal was to prevent terrorist attacks against americans on america with the taliban searching back to power some u. s. military veterans, a question whether all the sacrifices was it biden's recent claimant, the operation of canister. com successful to them? sounds increasingly hollow. mission to degrade. the chairs tread about cod in afghanistan and kilo summer been lot was a success. i believed that our presence in that gas dance should be focused on the reason we went in the 1st place to ensure f canister would not be used as a base from which to attack our homeland again. we did that. those who carried out just attack as well as anyone who wishes america harm. no this we will not forgive. we will not forget we
11:19 am
will hunt you down to make you pay. so biden was already faithful condemnation at home with cold for him to step down over the botched evacuation. the 3rd phase attack has only intensified that criticism. if any america has harmed or killed and not safely evacuated, or if any of this military equipment or weapons are used to harbor kill an american, the blood is directly on jo biden's hands. this will destroy what's, what's left of nato, because the u. s. has been so unilateral and so clueless that mean for, for the president i states to be rebuked in the house of parliament. that's the 1st time it's ever happened. joe biden has blood on his hands. this horrific national security and humanitarian disaster is solely the result of job biden's weak and incompetent leadership. he's unfit to be commander in chief. it is in raging and joe biden is responsible. it's now clear beyond all doubt,
11:20 am
but he's neither the capacity nor the will to lead. he must resign near go on this jennifer, them off the on conservative commentator at martin told us to fight and handling off the off down pull out, has undermined america's leadership in the fight against terrorism. the global community has lost trust and faith in joe biden, and his administration, a large truck now in the united states of america. despite the victory, the games and strength united states military job, i have managed to completely unravel and unwind that in a matter of months, putting our military in women's lives in danger. you know biting can get up there and say all he wants to cameras will hunt you down, we'll get you. but he has lots of credibility, not only this rate and the fear of our enemies, but he's a lot of credibility from our allies as well. i don't know how somebody is able to do that and 9 months of an administration, but i don't think anybody is surprised that it would be under the by any ration,
11:21 am
we're watching the bible presidency deteriorate before our eyes. this president is not handling this well and everyone knows in america and the people in the rest of the world know it. so it's actually a very dangerous time. i hope the president is careful and slow and methodical. but right now what we're portraying is weakness. and, and uncertainty, he says at the end of his speech, and now i'm allowed to ask the person, and course as i was instructed and right now, china is looking at taiwan and bad guys are looking at america and saying, let's take advantage of this really weak really embarrassing moment in american life, it's a big concern. russian foreign minister for his part says the blame for the deal between the u. s. and the town about a falling apart, like he lives, not just on one side. so the europe. now these are, the lesson must be learned after iraq, libya, and now after dentist on attempts to impose outside values are explosive. and i
11:22 am
hope that this conclusion will now be fixed in the minds of politicians who are considering further actions in foreign states. we maintained a dialogue with the taliban within the so called extended troika, there was a tendency to delay agreements and as always, if nothing is achieved at the negotiating table, there is a great risk of resuming hostilities, which is what ultimately happened. but i repeat, once again, we are ready to support the agreements that the americans concluded with the taliban and which unfortunately cannot be fulfilled. and probably not only because of the position of the taliban and in the wake of applause, multiple european liter readjusting verification plans. the august touch fast deadline is now just 4 days away of to which no western force is offset remaining couple pizza oliver has more now and how wildly does run a fight against time to get people out. miss holly in play. there was a vacuum a thing. people from the the airport in cobbler came on the fire last night. we've
11:23 am
already heard from mario doggie, the italian prime minister saying the upcoming g 20 summit, which will take place here in the italian capital will have got to start as a big part of its focus elsewhere. what we've seen is the un refugee agency, specifically there representatives in germany, in this folks person in germany. i think they would continue their efforts on the ground after that 31st of august deadlines. here from angular merkel, boe, the german chancellor saying that the time was really running out to get people out of afghanistan. right now. we know that the window of opportunities, closing 10000 people could be brought to safety. i want to reaffirm that we will not forget those who can no longer be rescued by air. least we will continue to try to get them out of the country, the foreign ministries, talking to the taliban about this. and we will also coordinate internationally on
11:24 am
how we should proceed. well, france had said that they were ending their lives. however, in the last few moments, we understand that paris is looking at extending not 4 hours, perhaps even a few more days. up towards the 31st of august deadline. we had heard from the french president manually, my call, and he said that there were 20 boxes of french national bond guns that france had taken responsibility for and wanted to get out of the country waiting the asked or nearby to cobble for the french president and acknowledge that the time that getting those people out was going to be difficult. and if there was a possibility that some wouldn't be able to be evacuated, we have known these risks and the thought given the confusion, that rains in control and the tensions at the airport, the next few hours will continue to be extremely risky in both couple and the pool for safety reasons and bus there will not remain enough. ghana, stan, he will remain on bus of the mini and we will continue to have an ambassador and
11:25 am
a team and the embassy for afghan, a span as we are not recognizing of regime but a country. well, the u. k. minister of defense, ben wallace was doing the rounds on british media on friday morning and one interview i heard, he said that he only wished they had 7 more days in order to get people out of the country. they don't have that time. in fact, mister wallace went on to suggest that the british presence on the ground enough gunnison could be wrapped up in a matter of hours. not so much a matter of days. we will process those people that we have brought with us the size and people approximately inside the field now. and we will seek away to continue to find a few people in the crime where we can. but overall, the main processing has not closed and we have a matter of eyes. there are still people that are going to be in afghanistan that we couldn't get out. we've also had news coming out of ankara, the turkey having decided on a proposal that had been put to it by the taliban. now this was
11:26 am
a proposal to try and help keep cobble airport after keep public or open after the 31st of august. the deadline, what the taliban was still insisting on as it took is 3 plus fault have made so would have to get out of the country. but they've asked for technical help from ankara in order to keep the airport open for little bit longer. president of turkey said he still hadn't decided what his country's answer to that request would be. was it just some of the stories were keeping an eye on, but of course, if you are more aren't you dot com is that a few take big. i have a great day. me the you know, look at them below the bull bull economy. say what's happening as the ball ball bang, perpetuate their logo,
11:27 am
11:28 am
love fine. ah, this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country, large understood the bargain. you get a home 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 bigger question of who the dream has been for. oh when i would show the wrong when i was just don't the room. yes. to shave out the scene because the after
