in style of that and think about the 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 the top headlines are not the 170 dead. nearly $200.00 injured the aftermath of a terror attack. that shook coppell that board a crowd of people about guns and foreigners were crammed together, waiting for evacuation. the witness of an explosion who were standing just 10 meters away from its shed video

and his thoughts with more than 30 or 40 people laying there dead. busy i mean, it was a really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just turn it in. just look at them just to get was u. s. president touches retaliation for the ice. this k claim terror type, which also killed 13 us. so we will not forget, we will not forget we will hunt you down to make you pay. ah, will a very warm welcome to you to, for more of us here at the international it most go. it's friday night here just after 11 pm and is fast turned into a busy program for your worldwide headline. i've got a son,

of course is still reeling from a devastating bomb attack in the capital of the now taliban run country. according to the afghan health ministry, a $170.00 people were killed including americans, $200.00 more, were injured. the panic on it now says only one explosion took place though on thursday, the u. s. defense press secretary confirmed. the 2 blast had rocked cobbles at board, islamic stated, caught us on, which is a regional affiliate devices, says it was behind the atrocity. just to warn you, there was some graphic images coming up now here on the program. where the report suggested that one of the blas happened at an entrance to the airport, where afghans were waiting in line to be process to fly out. a bodies were thrown into a sewer storm drain nearby and explosive vest is said to have been used in one of the attacks. the other bloss supposedly shook an area around a hotel where british officials were processing afghans to flight the u. k. a 13 us service members were among the dead along with 28 taliban. it's also know the 3

brits, including a child were killed and other warning more potentially distressing features to show you. here on the program a covered the forty's of victims have been laid out in the streets, grieving families identifying and collecting last loved ones. we spoke to some of those affected i'm sorry, so the belinda dixon . i was just, i was in the sunday and i was waiting for money, no money people waiting on british people that didn't work properly and didn't like log some last. 2 1 like 20 people of the didn't tool. again, plus one people like 60 people that people have

a know like have no legs. he's my guys, the remains in the gun capital kabul within the past 24 hours, the aftermath over. well, the tragic events at the airport with 170 people killed his, his latest report things have calmed down somewhat here in capital though that is relatively speaking. we are hearing god far endless guns, but single shots coming from all areas of the city as we heard that throughout the night will with the taliban as we learn. so to speak. cleaning house, they launched city wide search door to door inspection house to house searches looking for i says k member's, isis k, that is isis is affiliate here in i've got to start with whom the taliban has be that water for many years now and who are believed to be responsible for the

attacks at the airport. we will throughout hearing the explosions that we heard yesterday get coming from all areas of the city. but today those searches that the taliban launched, those do to do inspections. they have continued. we had, we have heard from, i'm official sources from a contact here that as many as a dozen ices fighters will either caught 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. i believe there is a high chance of more attacks security at the airport, both on behalf of taliban and us troops. they have an active maximum security. they expect more attacks to happen. not that that has scared away the crowd. the

thousands and thousands of people would crowd around the airport at the checkpoint . and the of the, the gates, the feds is trying to get it to the airport, queuing, desperately shopping and pushing for days a days weighted paper. some of them believe that there is a real threat to their life that there will be consequences if they stay behind. you perhaps vengeance from the taliban? for their work with foreign forces or foreign will guys asians, irregardless of taliban assurances that 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 tightly pressed together, how tightly packed the crowds were for a single suicide bomber. but presumably

a suicide, this has killed and injured so many isis is reportedly also come out with its own version of that. they say they're suicide. bob managed to penetrate old security checkpoints, leading to this final checkpoint just outside the airport man by both taliban fighters as well as us servicemen. as i say, the threat to ease persisted both the taliban and the united states as allies believe there could be more attacks. they expect more attacks. and the taliban says the situation will be result than to look until the crowds disperse that is unlikely to happen until 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

philosophy, a taco shops who are also reported on psycho it's unclear who fired them. we spoke to the man behind the video who was just meters away from the blast side. this was something that we are living in public like for 20 years or more than that. i hadn't witnessed 1st thing that hurt our eyes. i was alert full of years and also we couldn't breathe. the oxygen 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 be it 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 but i couldn't dave for me and i thought that my

aunt and her children's drug 10 feed or 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 me and many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people were laying there dead. i mean, it was a really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just with a student that just don't look at them, just look at it was so i mean this is maybe bad for sure. and on settling video for you here on the program showing covered bodies lying in the street. i had the atrocity, the u. k. u. s. and other western nations have been warning the nationals about the threat to have a severe attack, advising them all to avoid the airport. the witness who we spoke to says afghans have just been left to fend for themselves. the course 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 that live actually doesn't have anything, all these you have to do and reviews in the news. so lots of doesn't have any legal documents that they are trying to get out. there are like more than $20000.00 africans. but right now, 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 i know everyone is trying, you know, just to get out of this country out of this situation and run from taliban. so yes, we left abandon, 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 al hospitalized, some of them fighting for their lives. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience on the block then i had applied for the visit, the for this 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 to the last one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. the isis balinsa group behind those days, bombings, has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan. it also launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015. with more details on this splinter group is all eager to don 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 cobble, airport, 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, the 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 tourists islamic state terror group. it's based in car a 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 if you think this may have been isis case law strike 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 talent attempts to look more civil, humane and legitimate, we could conceivably soon see. i mean, strange as it sounds, a taliban lead anti terrorist operation or isis k, might become the perfect pretext for the us to negotiate at least some presence 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 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 pockets, donny tallow bonds who were 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 pocket on directly related to the u. s. presence in 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 would know 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 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've been fighting the us 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 us 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 of 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 afghan national resistance front, which controls the pan sheer valley and area now seen as the center of the anti

taliban opposition. its foreign relations head believes the terror threat in the country right now is even stronger than it was 20 years ago. it could be i says k, but we think there are, there are other elements. 1 plan the attacks 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. unfortunately, international terrorism and get us on as much stronger compared to 2001. this is something that the national resistance front of afghan is on, has been same for the past year. we believe the international community should help our effort to combat to national terrorism. and again in 1900 on the, to the international community, abandon the dentist. and we saw how again us on became a haven for terrorists groups. the same will happen if the international community

abandons african, it's into 2021. there's no pose threat towards everyone. no one has an exempt and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world or the eastern or t did manage to speak with a taliban spokespersons, a b hello, major heat on a range of issues. including, for example, fighting drug trafficking and that if the threat posed by possible resistance forces in the country. the gimme which, 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 opened fire at people. many were trampled in it, crushed many died by august the 31st. the americans must complete the evacuation of

their employees. mo maitland asked for the pansies head, it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people to who would like to continue the war. amory la seller and applewood masoud, 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 mall. and believe 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, it's time to minister on pakistan. bron china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, harm or damage from our territory, the belly online. what it 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 in the region, but also with other interested state. so he and soldiers killed in 18 injured. that's the toll of thursday attack for the american military. when asked by a john list, if he's going to speak to the bereaved families of the service members killed in cobble, joe biden essentially chose to remain quiet. the

meanwhile, in the us house of representatives, 2 republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against the secretary of state. they accuse anthony blinking or failing to properly advise the president and of abandoning american interest and kindness. don withdrawal debacle and its fall out of saint joe biden. and his ministration coming increasingly under fire. i thought he's a john haughty now. reports from miami. 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 as 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 the service to get through and basically infiltrate the crowd. regardless, the evacuation effort continues along with as president binding 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 mission to degrade the chairs, tread about qaeda in afghanistan and kilo. some of been live 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 will hunt you down to make you pay. so certainly some contrast statements there from the president and pentagon official 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, the 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 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 ever happened. joe biden had blood on his hands. this heritage, 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 he was president trump, who negotiate a deal with the taliban to basically lay off us troops 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 a lot of accusations back and forth. officials here in the united states and certainly internationally with this effort ongoing. well now the u. k. foreign office is struggling to explain how sensitive documents identifying gun workers for the british embassy and cobble was somehow left behind. a british journalist found the documents lying on the ground in the capital diplomatic district. some of the people on it had already left off on the sun, and the journalist managed to track down 3 families to the british army, been rescued. but it's still on the clear what's happened to at least 2 other individuals named as a embassy job applicant. meanwhile, the defense ministry is assisting in the evacuation of pet from cobble. some $200.00 cats and dogs will soon be rescued, while the fate of those afghans whose names were left behind, the embassy remains on clear. well, let's learn

a little bit more and live out of moscow gothic and international affairs commented or joining us here on the program. great to see you this evening, marco, how and how significant is it this failure to destroy what clearly are sensitive documents? well, it's clearly significant in terms of the attitude of those who failed to destroy those documents. it's also significant for those whose names are only documents because obviously they are in some danger from those who see them as traces or allies of the enemy. so i would say yes, definitely worry for those people on those lists. what about, i mean, so, for example, not everybody on this list has been accounted for. now, what one might imagine if they are still in afghanistan, they might be in a state of hiding, right? now because although the taliban recently said no revenge attacks, we have heard of the tile about going door to door. i think the more endanger from the families of those who lost relative to the u. k. and us forces. i mean,

those are the people who will want revenge in the culture of the area. so those are the straight depends really where these documents have ended up. as far as the taliban are concerned, we should bear in mind that they don't really have an interest in actually killing us and u. k. personnel because they are fully aware of the consequences if they do. i mean, ultimately the, the customer has got into government. it clear wants a quiet life, it wants help and assistance. it doesn't want sanctions and ongoing and even ization and bombing. so any rational tally about player wants to protect those, those you, you can us assets in afghanistan in order to avoid the objects over over western ross. so i don't see any danger from italy about a such just from individuals who may be alienated by previous war casualties they've experienced in the families. would you perhaps expect one of the u. k. ministry of defense, or anyone in?

well, i guess just in london, that is among the officials that to be held accountable for leaving these documents on the ground and the diplomatic section of cobble well, it could be a collective cower this. people simply ran, looking after their own interest. but it said it could be a collective failure some time. so i don't expect anyone particularly to place any severe consequences. the main cause it comes with obviously will be for those people on those lists who haven't yet got out. that's, they're the ones who played the consequences, not the ones who didn't care enough to hide their names. now, you're in london, marco and the last i heard from bars johnson was that he will continue doing these evac flights out of kabul. what's the latest, you know, with getting u. k national out of couple of the flights still in effect? i am. i understand that they're coming to a close and they're going to come so close pretty quickly. it may be that they might have some names. i did on including those are on the,

on the papers to the list of people who are going out. but i don't know any more than that. i can't help you further on martha. what about this rescue mission to report? we organized even now for animals, apparently pets and now being rescued from kabul. of course you got some people saying wilson are pet. so more important than the afghan stoffers. well, i just feel that the american involvement enough going on and indeed the nature involvement because nature of being very willing, a poodles, if you problem the problem to what the u. s. have been doing, has never been about human life has been about political placement and strategically important areas of the world, which makes it even more interesting that the u. s. is now with drawing as it is. and he does think the question of why we're getting this entire scenario of this crisis. we're focusing in a way, perhaps on the wrong thing on this crisis, which we've been told to constrain on. because the u. s. has willingly surrendered to the tale about instead of drawing a red line at the boundary, kaboodle is drawing a red line at the boundaries

a couple f for does the question why the us doing this? why has it done so when there's never done so previously in any other theater of war? marco gases, international affairs, common joining us live here on our international appreciate it. thanks for joining us. thank you. thanks marco, and i thank you for joining us as well than any source you think you may have missed. we need an update on just log on to our talk, talk the meantime. we're back in half an hour. ah ah, ah. you know, look at the low bowl bulletin and me say what's happening has the goal low ball bang perpetuate.
