a washington move. well father height intentions and i think it's too little too late. i think that the plan or if it, if indeed, ma'am, was a planner that there will probably be other planners who will back him up and. and if everything is imminent, incapable, it probably is already going to be initiated. and there are other people to do that . and you gotta keep in mind that this is one time strike. i know what biden 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 in, it does not take care of the isis problem in that area. so you don't think it's going to make the situation any safer in these final few days and i was going to evacuate people from cobble. no, not at all, not at all. i think it's actually going to height intentions. now. i think that
2:04 am
isis has does have plans. they are, this is their moment. they basically are saying to tell him and you think you're in charge of the government there, but we actually control events and there's, and there demonstrating that with the u. s. 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 whether tell a bomb will, is in trying to seek international recognition, will try to actually stop isis. and in some way or go against them. i think the battle is going to be on. we're going to see this thing disintegrate, perhaps into a civil war. shortly. western countries on taliban officials had given warning that a severe terror attack was imminent. but many people desperate to flee, the country appeared to be either on a while we're on afraid of the consequences. rows of bodies have now been lined up in the streets with grieving families trying to identify their loved ones. on
2:05 am
t y garcia is in kabul and she has a sense of what the city has been going through. things have calmed down somewhat here in capital though. that is relatively speaking. we are hearing god far endless guns, but single shots coming from all areas of the city as we heard that throughout the night will with the taliban as we learn. so to speak. cleaning house, they launched city wide search door to door inspection house to house searches looking for i says k member's, isis k, that is isis is affiliate here. i've got to start with whom the taliban has be the water for many years now and who are believed to be responsible for the attack today. those searches due to due 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 slides as well. i, the court who killed the taliban has published the images of at 3 suspects. i
2:06 am
suspect that it is captured on the approaches to the airport of capital, believing that they were planning to carry out more attacks the united states. its allies believe there is a high chance of more attacks taliban and us troops. they have an axis, maximum security, not that that has scared away the crowd. the thousands and thousands of people crowded around the airport at the checkpoint. and the of the, the gates, the feds is trying to get it to the airport, queuing, desperately shopping and pushing for days and days waive the papers. some of them believe that there is a real threat to their lives that they 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
2:07 am
. it says that there wasn't a 2nd car when there was just the one suicide bombing at the north gate. isis is reportedly also come out with its own version of that they say their 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. to as i say, the threats each 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. and 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. we'll talk also left many injured with hospitals having to pride make shift beds to accommodate the numbers. some of the patients all said to
2:08 am
be in a critical condition. here's how one survivor describes the devastation that 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 on by the dog lost one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital one of the wounded. so it's all still being hard ringing out in cobble stays. abundance have done little to diminish the will of money to feed the country with crowns. once again, nothing at the entrance. the taliban said to be far a warning shot to push people back from the american military personnel in charge of the gate. a witness to the boss told us that desperation of leading people to danger was we feel abandoned. that's because you all these people,
2:09 am
those who are trying to get in there are having some documents that they can go. but the other people actually doesn't have anything. all you have seen him do and medias 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 we can. but right now, this thing is all messed up automated up. i don't know why the americans are not processing then anymore. but lots of people just what i got started striking and hearing. and i know everyone is trying, you know, just to get out though 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. the british foreign office is
2:10 am
struggling to explain how sensitive documents identifying asked on work and pull the proficiency and couple were left behind in the chaos. a u. k. john this from the documents on the ground in the capital diplomatic district. some of the people on it, how to read, he left stuff kind of on the john this to manage to track down 3 families to the british army and rescued. but it's still unclear of what happened to 2 individuals named as i'm to see job after we have work, tyler would skew the safety of those work for us and glued and getting 3 families to safety. the drop down in vall embassy was done at pace of the situation and capital deteriorated. every effort was made to destroy sensitive material. when light of this questions have been raised about the priorities of the british defense ministry, up to it was revealed is helping a charity to evacuate pets from cobble some 200 cats and dogs will soon be rescued . but of course, that sounds the fate of those afghans whose names were left behind at the embassy
2:11 am
remains unclear. international facts commentate to market gases. 5th, that could be reprisals from the taliban for those named in the documents. clearly significant in terms of the attitude of those who failed to destroy those documents . it's also significant for those whose names are on the document because obviously they are in some danger from those who see them as traces or allies of the enemies . 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 failure some times the main consequences 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 apply their names. i think that they're more endangered from the families of those who lost relative to the u. k. and us forces,
2:12 am
i mean those are the people who will want revenge in the culture of the area. so those are the straight depends on what these documents have ended up. as far as the taliban are concerned, we should bear in mind that they don't really have an interest in actually killing us and u. k. personnel because they are fully aware of the consequences if they do. meanwhile, stateside the 1st s of us all me personnel, enough kind of stone in 20 months as mounting huge pressure and joe biden, and one press by john left as to whether he'll speak to the bereaved families. the president states highland the the the secretary of state is also facing flack over the crisis to republican representatives, have raised impeachment articles, accusing anthony blank, and failing to properly advise the president of abandoning american interest. and
2:13 am
i've kind of done the full out around the trip withdrawal has seen the entire biden administration that seems called on to increasing fire. i'm break it down for us. it's ortiz john hardy. 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. 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 sisters to get through and basically infiltrate the crowds. regardless of the evacuation effort continues along with as president vine, and said the hunt for those responsible for thursdays attack the deadliest day by the way for us forces in afghanistan in a decade. president biden said the u. s. will hunt down those responsible though this also comes after just a few weeks ago. the president essentially lauding america's success in the region mission to degrade the terrors, tread about kind in afghanistan and kilo. some of been lot was
2:14 am
a success. i believed that our presence in that gas dance should be focused on the reason we went in the 1st place to ensure afghans that 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 french 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,
2:15 am
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 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 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 binder remain steadfast. the u. s. should continue to withdraw from
2:16 am
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 trips as us troops were being pulled out of the country. and that evacuation effort, of course, continued, and the overall mission continued. the blame game is in full effect and certainly a lot of accusations back and forth among officials here in the united states and certainly internationally with this effort ongoing, libertarian political activists, spike co and believes the president handling off the trip with toral has been fraught with blunders feel by screwed up and has screwed up multiple times with this withdrawal he didn't keep with donald trump may timeline for pulling out and he didn't begin the process as soon as he became president of getting african american civilians out of afghanistan. so that when the troops left began, leaving all the civilians were already gone. that was the biggest mistake that was
2:17 am
made here. but the reality is there was no way to leave afghanistan without it being at least somewhat of a mass. this is the reality of what happens when you get involved in foreign entanglements. that frankly, our founders warned about 200 years ago. you end up with, you know, allied with your enemy over here to fight against your enemy. that you at some point created to fight this enemy, what you're now allied with the fight. there's enemy, it's nonsense. we need to bring the troops home. we need to end the authorization, use the military force and call. we can go into war without congressional approval to us house republicans are also demanding answers to claims that are kind of sounds ousted president of the country with suitcases stuffed with $160000000.00. the politicians say that it's true that money could have been stolen from us taxpayers. the ex president for his part, deny the claim, saying he fled with nothing but the clothes on his back was he's kind of open reports. while 2 decades of occupation has wrought nothing but misery to most afghans, there is a layer that have collaborated with the united states who have done pretty well,
2:18 am
but at mildly to congressman want an investigation of osh rob ghani, the president who just fled. apparently he took a $169000000.00 with them. he's now got asylum in the united arab emirates, a country known for its shall we say hospitality. it's too easy for officials to buy properties to buy non him asleep. there is no information available to help identify violations. more transparencies needed at janice, dan, former vice president achmed, via masoud, allegedly flew to do by and 2009 with over $52000000.00 in cash. he was eventually released without having to explain where the money came from. many former afghan officials have luxurious real estate in the by the cost of an average apartment is due by is over $670000.00. meanwhile, the gross domestic product per person, per year in afghanistan for 2020 was less than $600.00 afghan corruption has been
2:19 am
going on for decades and did not start with america. but rather than trying to fix this, i watering graft, the united states for gasoline on the fire, our biggest single project, sadly. and inadvertently of course, may have been the development of mass corruption. once it gets the level i saw when i was out there is somewhere between unbelievably hard and outright impossible to fix it. this is nothing new for us aligned regime. the us back saigon government in south vietnam was notorious for corruption. and that probably contributed to the overall victory of the communists. nice that he was convinced that mister to you had succeeded in removing from the country. a substantial portion of south vietnam's estimated total of $26.00 tons of gold preserves form a face to profiting by control of corrupt regime left vietnam. a billionaire outside gone and cobble have fallen,
2:20 am
but the usa is still as its buddies around the world. take the cars on a family that rules iraqi kurdistan. the families spent $50000000.00 on beverly hills, mansion along the prime minister of iraqi kurdistan. a member of the cars on a family actually spent over $3000000.00 and it can tar casino in a single night. now keep in mind that since 2014, the united states has sent over $3000000000.00 in humanitarian. a looks like american taxpayers have been subsidizing lives of luxury for white house cronies across the planet. while the infrastructure of the united states is decaying and falling apart, in some cases literally and the u. s. economy creeks, we now have a situation where the government is handing out cash all over the world to notoriously corrupt people. i think the investigation is regarding corruption and janice and the american involvement. then it should have started in
2:21 am
2002 when the americans invaded and occupied at janice ban because they brought in a way of corruption with them. very ordinary people have become enormously rich the previous word or 2, or just demand or maybe, or a strong man. now, multi millionaire, only 2 percent of the gets to the target population. most of the other money leaves up can need that through contracts by americans in foreigners or through simple theft, corruption and clipped. are still ahead painting the town, read quite literally the notorious environmental campaign group extension rebellion returns to the streets of london, hoping a change of color for some buildings. will portal parties have a change of heart over a brewing? i met a much and we'll talk about, but i'm much more in junk tonight. ah,
2:22 am
2:23 am
me, you know, look at the below the bull bull autonomy say what's happening as the ball ball bang, perpetuate there. lowball money trying thing. ah no, again, the european commission faces the potential law suit from the european parliament off to add 40 missed a deadline to trigger punitive measures to flashy. you funding to hungry many and brussels accuse budapest of violating the blocks core values while benefiting from the budget. that's not going towards i'm hungry, who are increasingly cooling for hucks, that pete oliver port hungry future in the european union, subject to the whole debate right now. an article in a pro goldman newspaper by
2:24 am
a leading member of an organization affiliated to prime minister or bond has let the blue touch paper on the potentially explosive issue. now those who support the current governments are suggesting it may be time to talk about hungary exit from the you or hooks it. i know it's considered to do, but someone has to write the word down and for the 1st time, not necessarily as a deterrent hooks. it hungry voluntary. so for an exit from the e. u. the hungarian foreign minister though has dismissed out of hand. the proposition of the countries exit and we're just hungry, has been a member of the opinion on the will remain a member of the european union. we are interested to see the european union as a strong organization. we would like to see hungary strong for you when you budapest seem to have relished its role as the huge black sheep of late victor oberon and his party barely missing an opportunity could both heads with the commission on almost every su possible senior figures though within all bonds for
2:25 am
jazz party started to suggest that now maybe the time to go their separate ways. arrogance politicians, robert, you know, faces that we would not be admitted to the e. u today because of our so called rule of law issues and values and views. proposition lead to see this as a naked attempt by victor rollback to get his country's future in the european union into the national to be it. we know well how fidel potty propaganda works. first, an idea circulated. then several people argue for it until it becomes an official government, gold. hungarians go to the poles next year and the united opposition all currently neck and neck, with all bonds feed as well. the very idea of hooks it merely many outside of hungry just seeing her. the income been prime ministers, political. i will fail, pulling hungry out of the e. u has been on all bands to do list for a while or been has been planning to leave the you for

2:27 am
the famous guild hole in the city of london was job and red paint along with the headquarters of standard chart bank on the london stock exchange. the group also blocked a made to junction in the capital with a huge bamboo structure. with more details, k, partridge, i was in central london, actually in the city of london right in the shadow cathedral in the heart of the financial capital. as you can see, if you look across the square here, has been counted in substance. this has been done by the extinction, rebellious climate change activists. talk about money march, and they've spread this blog. how about the financial puts the protest against economic system is low now. profiteering, we'll talk to the rain from march, which is all the things that i want to immediately stop investing in any kind of feel the margin back thing. i want to take a look at the heavy police presence of people who process this stuff over the

weekend. the holiday weekend when won't, but this is the central london, the have ready been 100 direct parts of the price as well as i get the government. you may be investing in fossil fuel here with the mocking the local people in the area. remember, the previous price has been 2120 pounds. i think 50 people missed the call. the same thing change in the positive in the prices. i mean, if we live in a world where you have to be completely perfect and spotless before you could raise the alarm or try to campaign for a better place, but nothing would ever get done and nothing would ever happen. where all human beings, we leave a bit of mess behind. i leave, it's
2:29 am
a mess behind in my life. but i tried to do my best. if you could call it, you know, it doesn't really work all the way to doing it. she's going to get people to side with them, and that's already because people get irritated by people getting their way, educating with that knowledge. yes, there is a problem, sir, that some people just join in a demonstration is because it's not. it's not the best story to get things done before the point is that the big is being pulled out by the media as a way to distract from the main argument, which is what they don't want people to talk about. which is, you know, why is the government trying to essentially suppress the argument of the climate crisis? and, you know, why are they not doing more to protect us citizen? lots of up to this time, thanks to keep me company and we're going to head over pay now for the next episode
