2:03 pm
pictures to show you here on the program. on, on t a covered 42 victims have been laid out in the streets in creating families, identifying and collecting las loved ones. we spoke to some of those affected. # i'm sorry, so the belinda dixon . i walked, i was in the sunday and i was working for many, many people waiting on british people that doesn't work properly and didn't like log some last. 2 1 looks like 20 people other than the tool. again, they have a 13060 people that people have
2:04 pm
a know like have no legs to, to very short time ago i spoke with autism or that guys dfi is still in kabul. it was just off the $930.00 meeting when we spoke here, gives us an update of how the city is faring after the tragic events. things have come down somewhat here in capital though that is relatively speaking. we are hearing gotten 5 atlas guns, but single shots coming from all areas of the city as we heard throughout the night with the taliban. as we learned. so to speak cleaning house, they launched citywide search door to door inspections. house to house searches, looking for i says k members, isaac, that is isis, is the silliest. here. i've gotten a son with whom the taliban has be the board for, for many years now and who i believe to be responsible for the attacks at the airport. we will,
2:05 pm
through our hearing the explosions that we heard yesterday get coming from all areas of the city. but today those searches that the taliban launch the do to do inspections. they have continued. we had, we have heard from i official sources from our contact via the, as many as a dozen ice fighters will either quote or killed. during these searches, the taliban has published the images of at 3 suspects. i suspect that it is captured on the approaches to the airport of capital, believing that they were planning to carry out more attacks at the airport. and this is something that the united states its allies, as well as the tide about believe there is a high chance of more attack security at the airport booth and boston taliban and us troops. they have an accident, maximum security. they expect more attached to happen, not the data scared away. the crowd,
2:06 pm
the thousands and thousands of people crowded around the airport to check any of the the gates the feds is trying to get to the airport. you in desperate shopping and pushing for days a days weighted paper. some of them believe that there is a real threat to lives, but they will be consequences if they stay behind. babs vengeance from the data by their work with foreign forces or forward will get stations irregardless of talib assurances, but no one, no one will be touched. the united states is also now changed its course events. what it believes happened. it says that there wasn't a 2nd car bombing. there was just the one suicide bombing at the north gate. 170 people almost killed almost 200 wounded. to tell you how tight keep press together, how tightly packed the crowds will for a single suicide bomber with those who would be
2:07 pm
a suicide vest to have killed and injured so many. isis has reportedly also come out with its own version of that. they say that suicide problem managed, penetrate all security checkpoints, leading to this final check. we're just outside the mat by both of us as well as us service. as i remember as the united states, i believe they could be more than they expecting more attacks or the taliban says the situation will be resulted to look until the crowds this bush that is unlikely to happen until the at the end. the end of the evacuation slated for the 31st of august. the following video was apparently taken right after the attack. it was sent to us by a witness. the off the be a taco shots are also reported on site though it's unclear who 5 and are we spoke
2:08 pm
to the man behind the video who was just meters away from the black site. this was something that we are living in probably like 420 or more than that. i hadn't witnessed christine, that hurt our eyes. i was full of here and all we couldn't breathe again. was all like that. 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's been 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 pull me and i thought that my aunt and her children drug 10 feed or
2:09 pm
are maybe god forbid they might be did by now. so when i went there and saw them, i was really thankful for that. they were like, we saw me and many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people for a laying beer dead. i mean give, 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 very bad for sure. and the symbol rather unsettling video for you here on the program, showing covered bodies lying on the straight. ahead of the atrocity, the u. k. u. s. and other western nations happening warning then nationals about the threat of a terror attack, advising them all to avoid the airport. and the witness who we spoke to says afghans have been left to fend for themselves. the floors 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
2:10 pm
can go. but the other people like actually doesn't have anything. all you have to do and the media is in the news store, lots of them doesn't have any legal documents that they are trying to get out. there are like more than 20000 if you have to. but right now, this thing is all messed up automated up. i don't know why the americans are not processing then anymore. but lots of people just like us are striking and hearing. and i know everyone is trying, you know, just to get out of this country of this situation and run from taliban. so yes, we 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. many of those injured in the attack on our hospital, some of them fighting for their lives. we spoke to one survivor who described his
2:11 pm
conspiracy and saw the blast i had applied for the visit and the poor invited us to come near the door. i was near the gate when the explosion occurred. i saw myself fall into the ground and when i stood up, i told the dog last one side of my abdomen, and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. the isis splinter group behind coast bombing has been active in eastern afghanistan, and pakistan could even launched a suffrage campaign of bloodshed when it was 1st founded in 2015. and to give you more details on this group, his aunts eager stand off 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
2:12 pm
killed dozens. american politicians had been warning. an attack was inevitable, but to no avail. every day were on the ground is another day. we know that ice case 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. or commanders on the ground have taken every step they can to prepare for such an attack. isis k is an afghan off shoot of the same the tory as islam state terror group. it's based in correson. 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
2:13 pm
the the 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 emory strongly condemns the bombing targeting civilians at coco airport . the explosion took place in an area where us forces are responsible for security . the bottom line is isis k presents
2:14 pm
a massive security and reputational challenge for the taliban. given the talents attempts to look more civil, humane and legitimate, we could conceivably soon see. i mean, strangers, it sounds a taliban lead anti terrorist operation, or isis k might become the perfect pretext for the us to negotiate at least some presents in talib, uncontrolled of ghana. and 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 non ga har province on ices k. but the roots of this group in 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 pocket study taliban, who were disgruntled taliban members who wanted to carry out attacks on us targets
2:15 pm
inside pakistan and afghanistan. one of their most spectacular attacks was on camp camp chapman, u. s. military base where they used a c. i turn coat to attack us soldiers. there are several other attacks on american assets. and this all led to a rise of terrorism inside pakistan directly related to the u. s. presence and afghan. as dan, 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 re isis, which was this group that took over in 2014, 2015 big swath 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 interact. that's where they really got their weapons
2:16 pm
from. they went into iraq, took those home these weapons and went back into syria, isis k, which is the islamic 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'd been fighting the u. s. and i bring up the point about the weapons because we just did the exact same thing and up dennis and left behind. unbelievable amounts of u. s. military equipment, 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. what we saw 20142015 with the other isis. isis. k is far from being the only faction able to carry out such attacks. that's the warning from the african national resistance front, which controls the passenger valley, an area now seen as the center of the anti taliban opposition. it's a foreign relations head, believes the terrorist threat in the country right now is even stronger than it was 20 years ago. be isis cable. we think there are,
2:17 pm
there are other elements plan the attacks. and that might have perpetrated such attacks against us soldiers and was a terrorist attack on the watch of the taliban 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 son is much stronger compared to 2001. this is something that the national resistance front of us against on, has been saying for the past year. we believe the international community should help our efforts to combat or national terrorism. and again in the to the international community, abandon janice, them, and we saw how get us on became a haven for terrorists. the same will happen if the international community abandoned that again, it's into 2021. there's no posed threat towards everyone. no one is exempt,
2:18 pm
and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world or the eastern. we manage to speak to the taliban spokespersons a he'd on a range of issues including fighting drug trafficking and the threat posed by potential resistance forces in the country. the hello, i'm sorry, 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 at people. many were trampled and crushed. many died by august the 31st. the americans must play the evacuation of their employees, the mall. that's for the panels. hair. it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people to who would like to continue the war.
2:19 pm
amory la salia and afterward my sued. 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 on forces of station near bypass. here to keep the situation under control, mo, emily and the current situation is entirely dependent on the afghans and no one else. you are not going to become a threat to the states bordering us using the g o strategic factor. we have good relations with tajikistan is becca. stan took many tom packets to honor bron china . i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, harm or damage from our territory, the belly law and what it has for drugs. we have a far reaching plan to prevent drug production. currently,
2:20 pm
about 3000000 afghans predicted 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 of the region, but also with other interested went down 13 soldiers killed and 18 injured. that's the grim toll of coast attack for the american military. when asked by a john missed if he's going to speak to the bereaved families of the service members killed and cobble a joe biden chose to keep silent the now the atrocity and cobble came off in nearly 20 years of us military occupation, enough kindness don, who's a professor goal of course, is that to be that to prevent terror attacks against americans and america,
2:21 pm
but with the taliban. well now back in power, some u. s. military veterans are questioning whether it was all worth it and what all the sacrifices were for. more details now about joe biden, increasingly under fire with antsy john hardy, president biden has given approval to his military commanders to really go after isis k. i says, course on, because of what happened yesterday. so the president saying, the military can go after isis. what that will mean, how that will play out remains to be said, isis k or isis course on claimed responsibility. and today they're really continues to be some of the back and forth between the taliban and us officials over who is ultimately to blame for the security breach. you heard the taliban spokesman talking about that. it was really the, the u. s. security failure, the u. s. was responsible for guarding the entrance to the airport, but the us maintain that it was the taliban failure for even allowing sisters to get through and basically infiltrate the crowd. regardless,
2:22 pm
the evacuation effort continues along with as president vine, and said the hunt for those responsible for thursdays attack the deadliest day by the way for us forces in afghanistan in a decade. president biden said the u. s. will hunt down those responsible though this also comes after just a few weeks ago. the president essentially lauding america success in the region with mission to degrade the terrors tread about kind in afghanistan and kilo some been lot and 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 afghanistan 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 wishes america harm. no. this we will not forgive. we will not forget we
2:23 pm
will hunt you down to make you pay. so certainly some contrasting statements there from the president and pentagon officials said today, by the way, there are specific, incredible threats remaining in afghanistan, including the possibility of more attacks. now whatever the outcome of the ongoing evacuation effort, it is certainly an extremely chaotic and messy situation for the united states. and of course for the biden administration. and president, coming under fire from republican leaders and officials calling for his resignation and saying that he ultimately bears the responsibility for what happened with some lawmakers. he's been going so far as saying he has quote blood on his hands. 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, it 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,
2:24 pm
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, but he's neither the capacity nor the will to lead. he must resign or to be clear, president binder remain steadfast. the u. s. should continue to withdraw from afghanistan and effort that started by the way, during the obama administration and continued through the trump administration. and keep in mind it was president trump who negotiate a deal when the taliban to basically lay off us trips as us troops were being pulled out of the country. and that evacuation effort, of course continued, and the overall mission continued still undoubtably. all that said, this will likely be a stain on the bite and presidency. the blame game is in full effect and certainly
2:25 pm
a lot of accusations back and forth among officials here in the united states and certainly internationally with this effort, ongoing legal analyst jennifer, the master and conservative commentator ed martin told us that biden's handling of the ask i'm pull out is on the mind america geopolitical position. the global community is lots trust and faith in joe biden and his administration, a large truck now in the united states of america. despite the victory of the games and united states, military providers 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 and we'll get you, but he has lots of credibility, not only this rate than the euro, 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 in 9 months of an administration, but i don't think anybody is surprised that it would be under the biting ration.
2:26 pm
we're watching the bible presidency deteriorate before our eyes. this president is not handling this well and everyone knows it in america and the people in the rest of the world know it. so it's actually a very dangerous time. i hope the present is careful and slow and methodical. but right now what we're portraying is weakness and an uncertainty. he says at the end of his speech, and now i am allowed to ask the person, and course as i was instructed and right now, shina is looking to taiwan and, 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. a huge fire is raging at an industrial side in the central english town of let maintenance spar and no one's been heard, but locals are being evacuated with witnesses saying they've heard explosions, argue correspondent,
2:27 pm
isa ali reports from the scene. report 1st emerged at 10. am this morning in the midland town of lemmings, in spot of a fire or other near by factory. we understand leason. polyurethane is the name of the company. it's a building materials company, and there are reports of many, many explosions having taken place inside that factory. as a fire has been blazing since the morning firefights is struggling to bring it under control is because of the presence of those chemicals in the yeah, that i and many others have been at 5 to face mosques because of the pollution. we've also been getting reports of things falling from the sky debris, if you will, pieces of black. it's uncertain exactly what it is that black type of plastic material start falling from the sky, which had been burned as a result of that fire. and many of those eye witnesses as well reporting that
2:28 pm
they were in their homes when they saw what they heard. huge sounds of explosions having taken place. now, it's unclear exactly what the cause of the file was. authorities are still trying to establish that they have evacuated homes that are within 70 meters of the fi, telling others in the area to remain in their homes with their windows boarded up or closed. should i say the doors shut as well. now we also managed to speak to the deputy mayor of the local town. nick wilkins explained to us the f a t and others in the community undertook to ensure that everybody was safe for them. on down the road, came in direct to traffic route and nasty, cold weather will take your videos, made another fred went to knock on doors to make sure people got windows and doors outside of payment stays solid. so firefighters continuing to try to get that plays on the control. we understand that they've advised people that be a couple more days until it is. finally,
2:29 pm
it puts out the local residents also worried that if it should rain, then the situation could get worse in terms of the pollution that as it is, the fire fighters in this local area here in the mid lives still fighting to get that on the control store it keeps getting updated for you by the hour and a half hour online at t dot com for the meantime. your friday evening program with lots of world news lie for moscow. here on our see if we return in about 31 minutes. oh the
2:30 pm
problem driven by shaped by 10 percent of those in me i think we dare to ask me ah, those are carried out this attack as well as anyone who wishes america harm no this we will not forgive we will not forget
