ah no dares thing we dare to ask me. ah, the the top headlines here were not p 170 dead, nearly 200 injured the aftermath of a terror, but shook cobble airport, where crowds of people, both afghans and foreigners, were crammed together, waiting for evacuation. the witness of an explosion who was standing just 10 meters away from it, share this video and his thoughts with us more than you are for the people who are

laying dead. i mean it was a really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just wanted to let you know that i'm just going to look at them. just look at was also in the program. the us president joe biden pledges retaliation for the isis pay claim terror attack, which also killed $13.00 us servicemen. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay. ah, right now, just moment thought the midnight here at moscow. this is asi international. i received a and a lot of stores for you in the program tonight. i've kind of stone is of course,

still reading from a devastating bomb attack and the capital of the now taliban controlled country. according to the afghan health ministry, 170 people were killed, including americans, 200 more, were injured. the pentagon now says only one explosion took place. that one of those to the us defense press secretary confirmed to blast sort of rocked cobbles, airport islamic state cut us on which is a regional affiliate of isis. it says it was behind the atrocity. i just warn you, there are some graphic images coming up here. in the program, earlier report suggested that one of the last happened an entrance to the airport where asked counsel, waiting in line to be process to fly out. bodies were thrown into a nearby storm drain. an explosive vest is said to have been used in one of the attacks. and the other bloss supposedly shook an area around a hotel where british officials were processing afghans to fly to the u. k. i 13 us service members were among the dead including $28.00 taliban. it's also know that 3

brits, including a child, were killed and other warning more potentially distressing pictures coming your way here on the program on our t with a covered bodies of victims. now being laid out on the streets, grieving families identifying and collecting love, loved ones. and we spoke, we saw some of those effects that yes, i'm sorry. so they've been and the other sub i was looking to do what was what was in the funding. i was waiting for money, no money people waiting on british people that doesn't work properly. and i didn't like the blog. some one like 20 people other than the tools. again plus one people like

60 people, the people have no like no leg. well, it's just been a little bit more than 24 hours now since this atrocity at the cobble international airport with the latest now from the african capital motor guys via 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 members, isis k, that is isis is affiliate here in i'm gonna start with whom the taliban has be that war for, for many years now. and who are believe 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 crowds, the thousands and thousands of people would crowd around the airport at the check

boards 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. perhaps vengeance from the data for their work with foreign forces or foreign will get stations 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, well for a single suicide bomber. but presumably a suicide, this to us killed and injured to many,

isis is reportedly also come out with its own version of that. they say they're suicide. bob managed to penetrate all security checkpoints, leading to this final checkpoint just outside the airport man by both taliban fighters as well as us servicemen. as i said, the threat to ease persisted both the taliban and the united states as allies believe they could be more attacks. they expect more attacks, and the taliban says the situation will be result than to look until the crowds dispersed. 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 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 probably like 420 or 2 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 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 being 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 me and i thought that my aunt and her children's drug, stan pete or they are maybe god forbid, they might be dead by now. so when i went there and saw them,

i was really thankful for that 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, 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 more unsettling failure to show you here on the program showing covered the bodies lying on the streets ahead of the atrocity. the u. s. the u. k. and other western nations had all been warning their nationals about the threat of a severe terror attack, advising them all to stay away from the airport. the witness we spoke to says afghans have just been left to fend for themselves. the good stuff was we feel abandoned. that's because you all these people, those who are trying to get in doesn't have anything. all these you have to do and

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 $20000.00. it's highly africans. but right now, this thing is all messed up is automation. i don't know why the americans are not processing then anymore. but a lot 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 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 our hospital, some fighting for their lives. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience of the blast i had applied for the visit to foreigners

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 felt the last one side of my abdomen. and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. the isis splinter group behind 1st, a bombings has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan. it launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was 1st founded in 2015. with more details on the group itself is our correspondent, eager to start 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 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 overshoot of the same. the tory says lama 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 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 emery strongly condemns the bombing targeting civilians at coco 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 reputation challenge for the taliban. given the taliban

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 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 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

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. busy 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, 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 interact. 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 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 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. what we saw 20142015 with the other isis isis. k is far from being the only faction being able to carry out such attacks. that's the warning from the africa national resistance front, which controls the pan geo valley and area. now see and is the center of the anti taliban opposition? it's foreign relations had believes the terror 30 in the country right now was actually even stronger than it was 20 years ago. it could be isis, capers. we think there are, there are other elements plan. the attacks 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. unfortunately, international terrorism and san is much stronger compared to 2001. this is 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 or national terrorism, and in keeping the, to the international community abandon scanning them. and we saw how african it's on became a haven for terrorists groups. the same will happen if the international community abandoned the candidates into 2021. there's no pose threat towards everyone. no one is exempt. and terrorism is after every state,

whether it's part of the western world or the eastern. he did manage to speak with a taliban spokespersons, i'll be the major heed on a range of issues including drug trafficking and the threat posed by a possible resistance forces in the country. the me, 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 and crushed. many died by august the 31st. the americans must can play the evacuation of their employees for a moment. and that's for the panel here. 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 on forces of station nearby pension. here to keep the situation under control for more 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 becca stan, minister on pakistan. bron china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, harm or damage from our territory. the value of the ticket has for drugs. we have a far reaching plan to prevent drug production. currently, 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. we 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 13 soldiers killed and 18 injured. that's the grim toll of states attack for the american military. when asked by a journalist if he is going to speak to the bereaved families of the service members killed and cobble president joe biden seemed somewhat invasive. the meanwhile in the us house of representatives, 2 republicans have introduced the articles of impeachment against the secretary of state. they accuse antony blinking of failing to properly advise the president and of abandoning american interest. and i've got on that withdrawal debacle and it's

fall out of st. joe biden, and his administration come increasingly under fire. as ortiz, john hardy reports, 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 there 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 u. s. maintain that it was the taliban failure for even allowing i sisters 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 attacked 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's success in the region mission to degrade the terrors, tread about cod in afghanistan and kilo some have been lied and was a success. i believed that our presence in that gas dance should be focused on the reason we went, the 1st place to ensure i've 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 will hunt you down to make you pay. so certainly some contrasting 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 is 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'd 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 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 it was president trump who negotiated 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 for effect, and certainly a lot of accusations back and forth among officials here in the united states and certainly internationally with this effort, ongoing legal enlisted jennifer,

the master and conservative, come with it. ad martin told us that biden's handling of the ass can pull off is ultimately undermined america's geopolitical position. the global community is lost trust and faith in joe biden, in 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, and wine back 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 was the credibility not only the 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 in 9 months of an administration, but i don't think anybody is surprised that it would be under the biting ration. 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 president is careful and slow and methodical. but right now what we're portraying is weakness and 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. the u. k. foreign office is struggling to explain how sensitive documents identifying guy and workers for the british embassy in cobble were left behind. a british journalist apparently found the document on the ground, the capitals, diplomatic district, some of the people on it had already left off canister on the job unless they've managed to track down 3 other families through the british army then rescued. it is

still unclear of what happened to at least 2 other individuals named embassy job applicant. we have worked tirelessly to secure the safety of those workforce and good and getting 3 families to safety. the drop down, vall embassy was done at face of the situation and capital deteriorated. every effort was made to destroy sensitive material. 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 and the embassy remains unclear. international affairs come and hit mottos. garrick told us that these people named in the documents could face reprisals from the taliban. clearly significant in terms of the attitude of those. busy who failed to destroy those documents. it's also significant for those whose names are only documents because obviously they are off 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. well, it could be a collective cowardice of people who simply ran, looking after their own interest. but it could be a collective paid out some times the main cause they couldn't, obviously, will be for those people on those lists who haven't yet got out. that's they're the ones who face the consequences, not the ones who didn't care enough to hide their names. i think that they're more endangered 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 entry 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 cause. because if they do, why that wraps up the news program for this half hour here on asi international.

thank you for spending time with us here in moscow. nearly half past 12 now at night, we're back soon with more of your worldwide use. me the one the make no, certainly no borders under the blind. number t's as emerge. we don't have authority. we don't actually the whole world needs to be ready. people are judge governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel

very proud that we need together in a folks. well, it's taking the world by starting the world a t v. ted lasso jason's film show over there on apple plus and his aid to camp his side kick is very funny. nick mohammed and the shows got a nice little to it funny. but it has a gentility that i think we can use in this time. we'll talk to nick about that. and he's also written a great, great show called intelligence. very funny david schwimmer. and he will also dive into the little nick mohammed right up to this on dennis miller plus one.
