6:01 pm
there. i mean, it was a really bad being. i mean, when i saw them, i just didn't that just don't look at them. just look at the was also in the program. the u. s. president touches retaliation for the isis k claim. terror attack, which also killed 13 us servicemen. we will not forgive them. we will not forget we will hunt you down to make you pay. ah, i just saw the 1 am on saturday here. this is our international. it's very warm. welcome to you. i've got this done, of course is still reeling from a devastating bama talking to capital of the now taliban controlled country. according to the afghan health minute, 170 people were killed including americans,
6:02 pm
some 200 others were injured. the pentagon now says only one explosion took place there on thursday, the us defense secretary press secretary, i should say, confirmed the 2 blas tied rocked cobbles international airport islamic state on which is a regional affiliate of isis says it was behind the atrocity. i should warn you there awesome graphic. i'm just coming up in the program here. earlier report suggested that one of the last half under an entrance to the airport where afghans were waiting in line to be processed to fly out. a bodies were thrown into a storm drain located near by an explosive vest is said to have been used in one of the attack. and the other bloss supposedly shook an area around a hotel where british officials were processing guns supply to the u. k. a 13 us service members among the dead. so on 28th taliban. it's also known that 3 brits, including a child, were killed and other warnings and more potentially distressing pictures to show you here. a covered forty's of victims have been laid out on the streets with
6:03 pm
grieving families, identifying and collecting last loved ones. we spoke to some of those affected yes, i'm sorry. so they've been looking to do what was the wasn't working for many, many people waiting on british people that didn't work properly and didn't like log some plus the bombs one. he'll kill like 20 people of the didn't tool. again, plus $13060.00 people that people have a know like have no legs. he's got guys via remains in the ask on capital.
6:04 pm
cobble that has an update on how the city and the airport, a both ferry 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 be cleaning house, they launched city wide such door to door inspections. 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 the war for, for many years now. and who are believe to be responsible for the attacks at the airport. we will do our hearing the explosions that we had 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,
6:05 pm
i'm official sources from our 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 eyes, the suspects that it has 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 booth and boston taliban and us troops. they haven't acted 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, the, the gates, the feds is trying to get it to the airport, queuing, desperately. shoving and pushing for days and days weighted paper. some of them
6:06 pm
believe that there is a real threat to their life that there will be consequences if they stay behind you perhaps vengeance from the data for their work with foreign forces or foreign will get a sions 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 will for a single suicide bomber, but presumably a suicide this to have killed and injured so many. isis has 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
6:07 pm
fighters as well as us servicemen. as i said, the threat to ease persisted both the taliban and the united states. its 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 dispersed. that is unlikely to happen until the end. the end of the evacuation slated for the 31st of august. the following footage was apparently taken right off of the attack. it was sent to us by a witness. the we spoke to the mind behind the video who, which is meters away from the side. this was something that we are living in public like for 20 years or more than that. i hadn't witnessed christine,
6:08 pm
that hurt our eyes. i was alert full of here and also 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'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 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 did by now. so when i went there and saw them, i was really thankful for that that they were like, we saw may and many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people were laying there dead. i mean,
6:09 pm
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 video for you here on the program showing covered bodies lying in the street ahead of the atrocity, the u. k. u. s. and other western nations had all been warning their nationals about the threat of a severe attack and telling them all to avoid the airport. and the witness who we spoke to says asked can swell at the end of the day, if he left just a friend for themselves, the floors we feel abandoned. that's because you all these people, those who are trying to get in there for they are having some documents that, that they can go. but the other people like actually doesn't have anything. all these, do you have the name? the 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 we have taken. but right
6:10 pm
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 stuck in 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, 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 out in hospital some of them fighting for their lives. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience of the blast. 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
6:11 pm
one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded. the splinter group behind 1st, bombings has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan. it even launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was 1st founded in 2015. as get more details on the group now his art is eager to 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 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
6:12 pm
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 the the
6:13 pm
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 a massive security and reputation challenge for the taliban. given the talent attempts to look more civil, humane and legitimate, we could conceivably soon see. i mean, strangers, it sounds a taliban lead anti terrorist operation,
6:14 pm
or isis k might become the perfect pretext for the us to negotiate at least some presents in talib, uncontrolled of garrison. 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 province on ices 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, donnie 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 other attacks on american
6:15 pm
assets. and this all led to a rise of terrorism inside pockets on 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 would know the 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 visa weapons and went back into syria. isis k, which is the flemish state 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
6:16 pm
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 of what we saw. 20142015 with the other isis isis. kay, is far from being the only faction able to carry out such attacks of the warning from the gun national resistance front, which controls the pension valley. an area now seen as the center of the anti taliban opposition. its foreign relations had believe the terror threat in the country right now was even stronger than 20 years ago. it could be isis cable. we think there are, 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
6:17 pm
the watch, unfortunate b international terrorism. and i've got us on as much stronger compared to 2001. this is something that the national resistance front of afghan is on, has been saying for the past year. we believe the international community should help our efforts to combat or national terrorism. and in 1900 the, to the international community, abandon the dentist, them. and we saw how afghanistan became a haven for terrorists groups. the same will happen if the international community abandoned that can. it's 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 te, managed to speak with the taliban spokespersons, be a heed on a range of issues including fighting drug trafficking and the threat posed by
6:18 pm
possible 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 people. many were trampled in a crush. many died by august the 31st. the americans must have played the evacuation of their employees. the mo maitland asked for the pans his head. it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people too who would like to continue the war. amory la taylor 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
6:19 pm
a station nearby pension here to keep the situation under control over mo. 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, tom menace tom pakistan. bron china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, harm or damage from our territory. the belly online 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 work in this direction as well. in some provinces, the sewing and collection of drugs is still ongoing. and here we need cooperation
6:20 pm
not only with the countries, the region, but also with other interested state that 13 soldiers killed in 18 inches. that's the grim told of those those attacks of the american military went off by a journalist if he's going to speak to the bereaved families of the service members killed in cavil. joe biden chose to stay silent. the. 6 meanwhile, in the us house of representatives, 2 republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against the secretary of state. they accused antony blinking of failing to properly advise the president and of abandoning american interests in afghanistan. withdrawal tobacco in his fall out of saint joe biden. and his administration come increasingly under fire. i thought john, haughty reports, president biden has given approval to his military commanders to really go after isis k. i says,
6:21 pm
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 i sisters to get through and basically infiltrate the crowd. regardless of 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 us 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
6:22 pm
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 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 contracting 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
6:23 pm
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, 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, 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 heritage, national security and humanitarian disaster. it's 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,
6:24 pm
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 who 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 a lot of accusations back and forth. officials here in the united states and certainly internationally with this effort, ongoing legal analyst, the agenda for the master and conservative commentator ed martin told us biden's handling of the i can pull out as ultimately undermined america's geopolitical position. the global community as lots trust and faith in joe biden,
6:25 pm
in his administration. a lot right now in the united states of america. despite the victory of the games and 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 locks the 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 have been in ministration. but i don't think anybody is surprised that it would be under the binding ration. 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's 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 uncertainty,
6:26 pm
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. the u. k. foreign office is struggling to explain how sensitive documents identifying african workers for the british embassy and cobble were left behind. a british journalist apparently found the documents on the ground in the capital diplomatic district. now some of the people on the list had already left kindness on, and the journalist did managed to track down 3 families through the british army. ben did rescue, but it's still unclear what's happened to at least 2 individuals. name does embassy job applicant. we have work tirelessly to secure the safety of those workforce and glued and getting 3 families to safety. the drop down vall embassy was done at face
6:27 pm
of the situation and capital deteriorated. every effort was made to destroy sensitive material. meanwhile, the defense ministry is assisting in the evacuation of pets from cobble from $200.00 cats and dogs will soon be rescued. while the fate of those afghans whose names were left behind, the embassy remains unclear. international affairs common had motto, gassing told us to those people named 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 payday out there some times. the main cause they couldn't, obviously,
6:28 pm
will be for those people on those lists to have got out that's they're the ones who phase, 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 that wraps up a nice program for that's how i hear an aussie international. thank you so much for spending time with us here in moscow. and my colleague collin, break here at the desk in half an hour's time with more of your worldwide news headlines. hopa, you can join us me. ah, ah,
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
i i i thought with this guy, he's drunk. you know, come out here and back. nice, right. just to put a space ship louder, got to be drank, and some kind of bad whiskey or so. i guess he's got enough money to do it. whatever he wants to do, he have the money to play the game. i from 10 miles outside a town highway 62 war lady is 45 miles.
