9:04 pm
they have told us that the cities faring after the tragic events. things have calmed down somewhat here in capital though that is relatively speaking. we are hearing god far endless gunfire. 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 inspections. house to house searches, looking for i says k members, isis k. that is isis is affiliate here. i'm gonna start with whom the taliban has be that warfare 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,
9:05 pm
i'm official sources from our contact via the as many as a dozen isis slides as well. either court 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 charge more attack security at the airport booth and boston 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 check boards and the, the, the gates, the feds is trying to get it to the airport, queuing, desperately shopping and pushing for days and days weighted paper some of them
9:06 pm
believe that there is a real threat to the alive 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 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 will for a single suicide bomber. but presumably a suicide this to have killed and injured so many isis is reportedly also come out with its own version of that. they say they're suicide baba managed to penetrate old security checkpoints. leading to this final checkpoint just outside the airport
9:07 pm
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 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 where i guess day of reporting that while the following video was apparently fell right off of the attack and was sent to us by a witness the the money film that was just meters away from the blast side, here's what he told us. this was something that we are living in probably like for 20 years or more than that. i had witnessed, 1st thing that hurt our eyes. i was alert full of tears and all
9:08 pm
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 highest. i mean, they opened the guns at the people, there was only one exam and that was near the explosion area. so when they tried to push me and like i really tried to reach my aunt and her, but i couldn't dave for me and i thought that my aunt and her children drugs 10 piece 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. they were like, we saw me and many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people were laying beer dead. i mean,
9:09 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. things are more unsettling video shows covered bodies lying in the straight ahead of the atrocity britain to us and other western nations . had been warning that nationals about the threat of a severe terror attack, advising them to avoid the apples. well, the witness we spoke to says afghans have been left to fend for themselves. the floors, we feel abandon. that's because you 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 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. if
9:10 pm
we have but right now this thing is all messed up on messed 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 for the injured many in our hospital, some fighting for their lives. here's how one survivor described his experience of the blast. 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 falling to the ground and when i stood up, i told the dog last one side of my abdomen. and then they brought me to hospital as
9:11 pm
one of the wounded. the splinter group said to be behind thursdays, terrorism has been active in east and afghan is done and also, packets done and launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015. with more details on the group, here's egos, dawn of the dreaded name of ice. it had all but vanished from international headlines. but now, amid the afghan power vacuum, the terror group has apparently struck again the. the double strike right outside couple airport killed dozens. 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 i c. k is seeking to target the airport attack, both us and allied forces and innocent civilians. as we conduct these operations, we are sustaining the highest level of vigilance for an attack against the airport
9:12 pm
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 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 with the the
9:13 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, i 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 cocoa airports. explosion took place in an area where the us forces are responsible for security. the bottom line is isis k presents a massive security and reputational challenge for the taliban. given the taliban attempts to look more civil, humane and legitimate, we could conceivably soon see. i mean, 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
9:14 pm
presence 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 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 pockets donnie taliban, who were a disgruntled tolerable members who wanted to carry out attacks on us targets inside pakistan and afghanistan. one of their most spectacular attacks was on camped camp chapman, u. s. military base where they used a c. i turn coat to attack us soldiers. there are several. busy other attacks on american assets and this all lead to
9:15 pm
a rise of terrorism inside pockets on directly related to the u. s. presence and afghan. a stand 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 visa 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 dennis and left behind,
9:16 pm
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 able to carry out such attacks that at least the boarding for me. i've got national resistance front which controls the pan. she valley an area now seen as the center of anti taliban opposition. it's foreign relations chief believe's, the terror threat in the country right now was even stronger than it was 20 years ago. it could be, i says, cables 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. a group that says we are able to provide security. and now in one day we see numerous terrorist attacks happening on the watch. unfortunate
9:17 pm
b international terrorism and get us on as 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 afghans in 1900 on the, to the international community, abandon the dentist, them. and we saw how afghanistan became a haven for terrorists groups. the same will happen in the international community, abandoned canada into 2021. there's no pose threat towards everyone. no one is an exempt and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world or the eastern parties also managed to speak with the taliban spokes person on a range of issues including fighting drug trafficking and the threat posed by potential resistance forces. the language, sorry, really sorry about what happened,
9:18 pm
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 crush. many died by august the 31st. the americans must complete the evacuation of their employees for a moment. as for the panel hair, it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people to who would like to continue the war. amory la 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 nearby pension. here to keep the situation under control over mo. and believe the current situation
9:19 pm
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 and pakistan. bron china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, harm or damage from our territory. the law has the drugs. we have a far reaching plan to prevent drug production. currently, about 3000000 afghans rejected and 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 state now says they was also the american military's deadliest day in
9:20 pm
a decade in afghanistan with 13 personnel killed and 18 injured. but when a journalist asked joe biden, if he planned to speak to the bereaved families, he chose to keep silent. the meantime, precious buildings for biden's, secretary of state 2 republicans in the house of representatives of introduce the articles of impeachment accusing antony blank and failing to properly advise the president and of abandoning american interests in afghanistan. the withdraw debacle and his fall out of saint joe biden and his administration come increasingly under fire. more on that next from r t americas 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,
9:21 pm
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 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 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 lot was a success. i believed that our presence in that gas dance should be focused on the
9:22 pm
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. and president, coming under fire from republican leaders and officials calling for his resignation
9:23 pm
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. it's solely the result of jer, 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 viner remain steadfast. the u. s. should continue to withdraw from afghanistan and effort that started by the way, during the obama administration,
9:24 pm
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 full effect, and certainly a lot of accusations back and forth. officials here in the united states and certainly internationally with this effort, ongoing lego and some of that legal analyst, jennifer de master and conservative commentator ed martin believe biden's handling of the afghan pull out has undermined america's geopolitical position. the global community as lots trust and faith, and joe biden, in his administration, a large truck now in the united states of america. despite the victory of the games in strength, united states, military job, i have managed to completely unravel and unwind that in a matter of months,
9:25 pm
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, will 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 and 9 months have been administration, 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. 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, 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,
9:26 pm
let's take advantage of this really weak, really embarrassing moment in american life, it's a big concern. of the development of the british foreign office is struggling to explain how sensitive documents identifying africa workers for the british embassy and cobble were left behind. a british journalist found the documents lying on the ground, the capital diplomatic district, some of the people on it had already left afghan as dan and the journalist did manage to track down 3 families to the british army, then rescued. but it's still unclear what's happened to 2 individuals named as embassy job applicants. we have worked tirelessly to secure the safety of those workforce and glued and getting 3 families to safety. the drop down, vall embassy was done at the base of the situation and capital deteriorated. every effort was made to destroy sensitive material. the british defense ministries also assisting in the evacuation of pets from cobbled some $200.00 cats and dogs will
9:27 pm
soon be rescued. while the fate of those afghans whose names were left behind, the embassy remains unclear. of international affairs commentator, marco gothic told us that those 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 on the document 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 said it could be a collective payday out there. sometimes the main consequences obviously will be for those people on those lists to have 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
9:28 pm
forces, i mean those are the people who will want revenge in the culture of the area. so those are the straight, depends on 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 cost because if they do next inside the company that's reshape retail around the world and my $1.00 man, the richest on the planet the world, according to amazon as next year on an international the the
9:29 pm
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk americans love buying homes. ah, this is a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country, large understood the bargain. you get a home and then you will rebel, right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial back and think about
9:30 pm
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 the whole earth catalogue was part of the movement. this publication was created by steward brand, a former biology student, and a jack of all trades. he wanted to help to middle is find everything they needed to fend for themselves by showing them where to buy all the necessary tools. ah, so weird because right, so these people are going to build farms. but what kind of tools they take? well, they take.
