since ending up to something wonderful, very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can build so of all ills. or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like i was just scared, scared little girl of 24. and like, didn't have to be so complicated the, this is our t breaking news, the u. s. strikes back at ice, this k as it drone kills at tara planet. and i've got to stand in the 1st replies on thursdays cobble lab bombing in which 13 americans were among the $170.00 killed . maybe $200.00 others were injured in the atrocity which targeted crowds of both afghans and floridas, crammed together, waiting for evacuation. the

witness was just 10 meters from the explosion share this video and is harrowing experience with us more than 30 or 40 people florida laying the dead. i mean it was a really bad being. i mean, when i saw them, i just didn't get a look at them. just look at the wall. ah, hello, and good morning from moscow. it's just 16 am here in the russian capital is just 1730 am in afghanistan, developments there in the past. hour or so, the united states has confirmed that it conducted an ass strike against the islamic state affiliate that says it carried out says days devastating terror attack had cobble apples of the $170.00 who were killed in that attack. and 13 were american military personnel. a further, 200 people were injured. president biden vowed

a swift reprisal and less than 48 hours after the bombing, the us military deployed drone to take out an ices k planner. it's not know whether the target actually played a role in thursday, terrorism, navy spokes person, captain william urban said an individual was killed in the country's eastern manga ha province. and there are no known civilian casualties. the strike comes as the u . s. wants further threats by isis in the region, and is off that citizens again to stay away from cobble airport. president biden has set the 31st of august as the deadline for the us withdrawal from the country. that's now just 4 days away. let's go live now to form a security analyst of the pentagon, michael maloof. hello, michael. good to have you with us to conduct this drone strike. now, what does this mean? it was getting increasingly risky at the airport. the security alert has been heightened. yes, again. does this drone strike against isis k? make things worse for that evacuation in these final few days, or does it send

a strong signal to weiss's k, to back off until we're out? well i, it's, i don't, i think it's too little too late. i think that the plan or if it, if indeed the man was the planner, that there will probably be other planners who will back him up and. and if anything is imminent in couple, it probably is already going to be initiated. and there are other people to do that . you got to keep in mind that this is one time strike. i know what biden's said about getting back, but this was just like a rap on the knuckles that we know where you are, who you are. but it's, it, it does not take care of the isis problem in that area. it's going to get worse. and i'm afraid that isis k is now showing itself, and they're really anti to tell a bomb. and you've got to keep in mind to the telephone at the same time,

has this deputy connie member who is it, who is associated with, with isis k. so this is a very, very serious development that we're seeing here. and i and i, it may have been one strike against one person, but they have other people there who could pick up that pick up that planning that capability. and it does not stop isis from any future or impending attacks. and so he doesn't think it's going to make the situation any safer in these final few days. and i was like to evacuate people from cobbled. no, not at all, not at all. i think it's actually going to heighten tensions now. i think that isis has does have plans. they are, this is their moment. they basically are saying to tell him on, you think you're in charge to the government there, but we actually control events and there and there demonstrating that with the us

military out of the way. now i think you're going to see isis k. now take a much more prominent role and this, this will test, this will test for the telephone will, is in trying to seek international recognition, will try to actually stop isis and in some way or go against them. but frankly, isis is calling the shots. they control their control in events right now. and when you have the deputy of tele, bon, b and connie and they're much more closely aligned with isis. k. i'm dubious of all of this arrangement in the u. s. is putting their faith and trust right now in tele, bought in and protecting the airport it's, it's bizarre. what we're seeing here. and i might add that it had to have been somebody who looked at the, the previous bomber come through who, who's probably associated with the, how common network. so i'm very dubious,

and i think isis k has, has infiltrated and in to tell a bond quite, quite extensively. and it's going to be i think the battle is going to be on. we're going to see this thing disintegrate, perhaps into a civil war shortly. i don't know if a michael, but if i assume that intelligence agencies of far better briefs than maybe you or i right now, but within 48 hours to find this target, take them out as a result of what happened on thursday. if they knew this person was that this group was there, how dangerous they are, why were they taken out before then? well, there's a number of reasons why you would not. number one, you want to follow their activities closely. from an in, from an intelligence reporting standpoint, to just understand that what the patterns of might be. they might have been knowing

where they were located at any given time. but but then we're out friday of intelligence methods use that i won't go into that allowed them to have real time knowledge of where this individual was and, and so that the, the problem still remains that we don't have a lot of intel on the ground. people who, who can work with on the ground, human human intelligence, if you will, that can allow us to have much more knowledge of just what those activities might be. you got to keep in mind that to isis k is located in a very remote area in the mountains in eastern and northeastern afghanistan date that the car sun group actually extends into pakistan. it covers northern afghanistan into tajikistan and parts of iran

and into india. so the isis k influence in that region has been growing for years. we've known about it. we watched them too, until now those they haven't been a significant factor. but now that us forces are pulling out all of a sudden they are rearing their ugly head. the web is widespread and it's intricate they have given the wording in this statement about the targets. it's been very vague. and as you've said, could just be one could be anybody. is there also the possibility that it could have been someone significant? and if it was why keep flat behind as it were, would there be reasons and even if it was some one significant as this target, they just don't wanna release the details yet. well, a planner is a planner. i mean it's, he probably was not a leader of isis k, but, but they always have people who will fill the void, and they have people who,

who are constantly coming up the ranks. you see that there's successions when the leaderships are killed off. there's always someone the fill that vacuum in almost immediately. and we, we've seen that without kyra, we've seen that with isis and, and the fact that isis even though doesn't have a physical caliphate there, quickly building up one now enough canis them. and this afghanistan, afghanistan is going to be their new caliph, it basically, along with the northern, along with northern africa and a few other places, they'll have a series of caliphate. just few days ago, joe biden was saying that the goal had been achieved. the terrorist threat to been neutralized recent events of course, suggest otherwise. do you think there's going to be any change in the u. s. afghan policy and do you think that's going to be in a growing chasm between the white house and the pentagon? i don't mean maybe the war mongers in there. i mean the strategists with that had in their hands thinking, what are you doing while they still salute commander and chief president is

commander in chief under our system. so it's we haven't seen any defections within the us military, if you're, if that's rituals, is clearly frustrated. you know, when you get above, when you get into the general ranks, it's much more political after that. they're going to, they're looking out for their golden parachutes and stuff. so they're going to go with what the commander chief wants, but you're colonels and your rank and file military. they're very, very upset with what's happening and because they now see there were, that's actually going against our, our fiber to leave americans to pull the troops out 1st and then leave americans like that. it's just an unconscionable, this whole policy is terrible. and, and even tonight is talk of impeaching the leadership, the, the national security team a bite. and frankly, nothing like a bit of in fighting during a crisis. is that going to have it's going to happen? yeah, it's going to happen because they have shown such dereliction of duty just thinking

about 72 hours ago. it would have been preposterous to suggest the us forces and the taliban might be able to co operate on the security level. now that we've seen what's happening cobble and not just for the next few days before that withdrawal deadline, do you think that what i c k might have done is potentially push the u. s. and the taliban to potentially co operate on tackling a common foe in the region. change. yeah. it's the evolving, we're seeing, we're seeing some movements in that direction. you're seeing for example, telephone talking to iran talking to in recent months and, and there. and you have the russians working with tele, bond and china, it, they're seeking that international recognition. but you gotta keep in mind that tele bond is not a cohesive unit. they have the splinter groups. and if you know, one local commander doesn't like what the leadership is doing, they're going to go up and, and do their own thing. and this is what the problem is. and as i said,

to have the, the deputy of all of taliban to be a member of the county network, they are the most ruthless they, they've been killing americans for years. and connie is very much associated in their id ology, but with, with isis k. so this is and, but what we are seeing in the is the northern alliance begin to reemerge now. and the question is going to be, and they're much more moderate, they're much more moderate sunni. so it could be there's a, there's a i was just talking to somebody tonight that there's a possibility that tele bonded northern alliance could come together if they can maintain their moderate role. which would then pit them against isis. and isis want to, doesn't get, does not like television. so we're going to probably see the whole, the whole political scene there disintegrate into another civil war. if this keeps up and us will be out of it. and that's why i think isis is now beginning to

reemerge before we go to the so called moderate taliban, they want to watch that back from the more extreme ends of their particular group. michael, it's much more for sharing your pencil expertise with us, always appreciate it. mike, thanks for joining us on. i'll tell you again. well, despite an intense security field of american military personnel and the surrounding areas being patrol by taliban fighters, somehow a bomber made it through to a densely packed chaotic crowd. or just aboard either awesome graphic images coming up next. or your reports, of course, suggested that one of the blasts happened at an entrance to the airport as africans waited in line to be processed to fly out bodies with thrown into india by storm drain, unexploded as best is said to have been used in one of the attacks, the other black supposedly shook an area around the hotel where british officials were processing afghans to fly to the u. k. 13 us service members were among the

dead along with $28.00 taliban members. it's also now the 3 british citizens were killed, including a child. another warning for you now of more potentially distressing pictures to show you covered bodies, victims being laid out in the streets with grieving families identifying and collecting their last loved ones. oh, yes, i'm sorry. so the belinda belinda dixon, i was i was in the sunday i was waiting for many, many people waiting on british people that doesn't work properly. and i didn't like log some last one

like 20 people other than the tool. again, plus one people like 60 people that people have a know like had known leg reporting next from cobble are senior correspondent mirage guys. they're called us how 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 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. that is isis is affiliate here. i've got to start with whom the taliban has be. that was 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 our contact here that as many as a dozen ices fighters will either quote or killed. during these searches, the taliban has published the images of at 3 suspects. i suspect that it is captured on the approaches to the airport of capital, believing that they were planning to carry out more attacks at the airport. and this is something that the united states its allies as well as the tide. i believe there is a high charge more attack 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 crowded around the airport at the checkpoint 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 believe that there is a real threat to the alive that there will be consequences if they stay behind the pipes vengeance from the data for their work with foreign forces or foreign. well, good 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 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 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, it's a 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 rock. as day of the day, the following video was apparently filmed right after the attack and was sent to us by a witness. the,

the man who filmed it was just meters away from the black site. here's what he told us. this was something that we are living in probably like 420 or 2 more than that. i had witnessed, 1st thing that hurt our eyes. over i was alert full of yours 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. there was only one exit 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 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. things are more unsettling. video shows covered bodies lying in the street ahead of the atrocity britain, u. s. and other western nations have been warning that nationals about the threat of a severe terror attack, advising them to avoid the airport. the u. s. is since renewed that security alert the witness we spoke to says afghans have been left to fend for themselves. the course 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 they can go. but the are the people like actually doesn't have anything. all these you have to do and reviews in the news. so a lot of them doesn't have any legal documents that they are trying to get out. there are like more than 20000 if you have to. but right now, this thing is all messed up automated. i don't know why the americans are not processing then anymore. but lots of people just like us are striking and hearing our 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 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 now in hospital some fighting for their lives. here's how one survivor 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 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 in one of the wounded. the ice, a splinter group said to be behind, says dates. terrorism has been activities and i've got this done on pakistan, as we mentioned, and launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015. with more details on the group, his ecos down 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 ice case seeking to target the airport attack, both us and allied forces and innocent civilians. as we conduct these operations, we are sustaining the highest level of vigilance for an attack against the airport by isis k or another terrorist group, or commanders on the ground have taken every step they can to prepare for such an attack. isis k is an afghan off shoot of the same tory as his 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 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 taliban

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 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 disgruntled taliban 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 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 with no flemish 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 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 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. hey, other views are managed to speak with a taliban spokes person on a range of issues, including fighting drug traffic in the, in the region. and also the threat posed by potential resistance forces to the group. 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 people. many were trampled in it, crushed many died by august the 31st. the americans must complete the evacuation of their employees. the m. o. s. for the pansies hair, it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people to who would like to continue the war. amory la and would 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 pakistan to menaced on pakistan. iran, china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats home or damage from our territory. the belly. well, that's the 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 read a case 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 reporting continues online, get the fax we have in the context you need right now at r t dot com next, have your weekend. kaiser report is still

large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff, based on, you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its grip on the world that was like an inquiry like a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trays like a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controlled the marketplace. it's not really a market as a private arena world where a single company controls the distribution of daily products. and the infrastructure of our economy is the according to amazon the.
