those people continue to talk to the airport desperate to flee despite ongoing warnings about terror threat emerge. the amazon web services has been hosting an ice filled propaganda site for months. taking it down only after a tip off from a watchdog following the car bullet trough the day. i midnight in moscow, and this is arty international i received from the time news team here. welcome to your stores. president joe biden is now vowing more air strikes in retaliation for thursday's terror at target campbell airport. enough guy missed on washington's already confirmed and carried out a drone strike against the islamic state affiliate the claim to be behind the attack. or this is said to have eliminated to isis k members and entered another. the pentagon is that there were no civilian casualties,
5:02 pm
but it's not known actually, whether the target even played a direct role in thursday to attack the apple to talk left a 170 dead, 13 american military personnel as well, whose death president biden has vowed to avenge the u. s. has also warned further threats posed by isis in the region abiding says a fresh attack on cobble airport is highly likely in the next 24 to 36 hours. meanwhile, the august 31st deadline set for the us withdrawal from us can install is now just 3 days away. the ice is a splinter group responsible for thursday's attack has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan since 2015 and middle east affairs export ali risk as questions about why when the u. s. actually had direct intelligence about the attack you that just failed to the end of the day to stop it was i think regardless of whether this truck had taken place or not, i think the accusation efforts will continue to be in jeopardy. i mean this danger
5:03 pm
of the suicide bomber going ahead and carry or carrying out an attack like the one which we saw this danger always exist. you have to remember that the suicide bomb off from i. so what i saw and succeeded in this terrorist operation, despite the fact that the united states had intelligence that such a scenario was likely the other's face declared, this global war on terror, opposite timber 11. and here we have the solid on coming back to tower, and we have the highest scaled terrorist activity in the country. and i think that this goes to show that the united states, the global war on terror, embryo has failed. the chaos near cobble, apple meantime, shows no signs of relenting this video. you can see people running for cover as gunshots of fire. and here we have the latest report from cobble with our correspondence. and what i guess be what with scott days left until the end of the
5:04 pm
evacuation, things are still very tense here in capital not quite as heads are quite as bad as things were in the immediate aftermath of the bombings or the bombing at capital airport. nevertheless, security measures around the city have been beefed up. so the taliban has set up more checkpoint, security checkpoints on roads leading to the airport. but that is only going to have a limited effect because there are so many roads more than that. the crowds at the airport have disburse their just as strong that just as packed anti terror aids across the city are continuing. security measures have been beefed up as not as much as they can be. so the taliban is still conducting door to door searches and deter rates across the see if you trying to identify to detain that catch more isis . members from off a dozen to a dozen ice supporters were detained, arrested around couple 3 of them had the pictures published by the taliban. and the
5:05 pm
taliban is promising to put a stab to stamp out to put an end to ices, present here in capital around of gotten this done. but this is something they say they will only be able to do once the united states leaves. so the threat level is, is very high, both the taliban in the united states and its allies expect the expect the i splinter cell isis k to strike again, especially given how much cottage the last attack caused perhaps publicity for them . this is exactly the taliban says what they want. they want to discredit the taliban and they want to get people on their side. say only we can provide you with security and we are the true gods people here. and i've got to stop. they say that the tyler bad news is too weak. it is too westernized, that it has lost its edge. nevertheless, the united states, as also it acted maximum security measures at the airport around several check
5:06 pm
points in the area, has been clear that people tried to get to close warning shots offline both by the taliban, by us troops. that flashback grenades, even gas grenades are used if, if the crowd gets out of control. but things are also desperate for ordinary people . there. that includes people who work with us, forces with native forces, with the embassies diplomatic stuff. people who still haven't been able to get out, never might get out. they still haven't been vetted or approved for evacuation. they haven't been able to contact anyone. they haven't been able to secure arrangements for their families. so certainly with just 3 days left for people to get out of up get this done and, and the crowds, the queues huge their ease. i sense of desperation will of those who served in the ask at army police and the west about government now, fair persecution. the taliban though, has promised a sweeping amnesty for all those who fought against them. roughly video agency
5:07 pm
talked to a man who served as a special forces officer under the previous government version as a mom and i had always wanted to join the military. and so when i graduated from school, i did, i received training at the academy of special forces and cobble unit was deployed to areas where there was fierce fighting police officers would call us in as reinforcements when under heavy fire. and it looks like we don't have a future now that the government has fallen. i call on the islamic emerett to establish a stable all inclusive government. as soon as possible, we must all shake hands now and rebuild our country on our road. the biggest concern i have is my children. we studied, we got some education, but what will happen now if the situation continues like this, it will all be hopeless if the government employees don't go back to work the future, the country will be in peril. currently the universities and schools are closed and we are concerned about our children's future. since the taliban takeover off
5:08 pm
kindest on nato forces have been scrambling to get out of the country, trying to make sure at the same time they leave nothing behind. if any value for the militant, a number of nato basis, and the helman province were left abandoned by foreign forces, though they 1st destroyed buildings, vehicles and equipment. taliban fighters were quick to move in though and seize control of these sites. well, in the meantime, a rushes special representative for gun us on says a political settlement in afghanistan is feasible. taliban wants to form a new leadership which will include representatives of other ethno political forces if events develop. according to the scenario, there is a chance, a pretty good one. the restoring order enough janice done was the support of the international community. and with the afghan crisis dominating debate in america, the biden administration has suddenly found itself on a rather awkward spot. not just because of the intense criticism it's facing that because it seems unable to decide what its relationship with the taliban now ought
5:09 pm
to be. as eager as donald explains, of ghana stern is teetering on the brink of a security collapse and washington, which brought the country to the edge, is busy figuring out if it has any friends left in the taliban controlled country. the television is not what they are, not a group. we trust they are not our friends. that message is clear enough, but only until you hear this and we're doing everything we can to be prepared for those attacks that includes reaching out to the taliban, who are actually providing the outer city recording around the airfield to make sure they know what we expect them to do to protect us. so the us is partnering with the taliban and the pentagon, as explicitly admitted they have the american military, rely on the taliban to protect them. well, sounds like a friendship. one moreover, that the us cannot afford to lose right now. it's just las troops in the cobbled terror attack and more atrocities are feared,
5:10 pm
the ah, the the, the, the promises is extremely real. we believe it is their desire to continue those attacks and we expect those attacks to continue the state apartments have all this mixed messaging is simply part of its weight and see strategy. let's see how the taliban let government fairs and then will act. but the public along tense,
5:11 pm
on behalf of the president going forward, we will judge our engagement with taliban lead government canister. and based on one simple proposition, our interests and does it help us advance them or not biden's chaotic withdrawals set the stage for this violence. thousands of people trying to get into the airport is right for suicide attack by didn't, has blood on his hands and must be held accountable to say that today's loss of american lives in cobble is sickening, does not begin to do justice to what has happened. it is in region, and joe biden is responsible if now clear beyond all doubt that you have neither the capacity nor the will to lead. he must resign. do the american people a favor resign and turn the job over to someone who can handle it. joe biden is between a rock into a hard place here on the one hand in the us. the very idea of dealing with the taliban is massively unpopular. but the fool out from the american,
5:12 pm
with the group has been a big disaster than the white house anticipated. so now they find themselves in a nightmare situation. the pentagon, admitting its troops simply can't defend themselves without the help of the taliban . i think it's important to put this in context. we should have never gone into afghanistan model. omar was more than happy to negotiate with the u. s. to hand over been lot and back in 2001. and instead, the military industrial complex and the so called nieto alliance got exactly what they wanted this endless war. and at one point at some point, b, b, india was gonna have to be pulled off. but joe biden certainly done his share of screwing up on this. the u. s. came to have ghana and to fight terrorism. and it's as if they're just learning, but there's still plenty of unfinished business in that particular department. 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
5:13 pm
step they can to prepare for such an attack. or president has authorized every capability that those commanders have asked for to protect the field against such an attack. washington wanted to close a book that already had a few too many pages in it. instead of it may have started a new chapter. amazon web services has found itself in rather hot water for hosting in islamic state propaganda site. since at least april, a watchdog pointed out the security lapse prompting the company to remove the terrorists content. amazon web services had this to say about the incident tolan investigation where disabled a web site that was linked to this app as it was in violation of the amazon web services, acceptable use policy. when we receive reports of potential violations of our acceptable use policy, we act quickly to investigate and take action to disable prohibited content. it's
5:14 pm
artic states content via the amazon web services own policy. it included an alleged photo of the suicide bomber who attack cobble airport on thursday. we bought amazon to comment on why the islam of the website remain up for so long. the head of the watchdog spot, that it says the terrorists were not even trying to hide their activities. is just mind blowing that even after all this years i, cisco still find a way to exploit huston company like amazon this app isn't and i'm trying to stay locate it is blatantly filled with official ices claims media and logo of ice media arms clear as day michael, erect and of all the former liberal studies professor at new york university told me just a short time ago that amazon's per don't want to focus on domestic threats. that's real dangerous to americans slipping through the net they're looking for, you know, they're following congress's direction. in order to route out the so called domestic terrorism. and they're,
5:15 pm
they've completely taken their eye off of the ball where real, the international terrorist express are concerned. and so they let you know this app and this website exist on their web service for months. and probably planning what's happening on there for all we know. it was after all password protected website, and yet they had no idea until finally a watchdog finally points out after this attack with pictures of the bomber involved. this is just unbelievable. as i said, it's not that surprising giving, given the focus, the lack of priorities, the complete, fictional, kind of scenario that they've been chasing after in terms of the domestic terrorist in the united states. which is completely ridiculous because this doesn't even exist, are still becoming the program here on our team is hungary now looking for its very
5:16 pm
own directed approach government newspapers calling for a national debate about a potential hooks it more of that offer a break the the ah, me what we've got to do is identify the
5:17 pm
threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk me the news. ah, i'm going to be to join us for the news tonight from moscow. speculations once again on the rise about with a hungary could be preparing to follow the u. k. out of the use exit doors. let's offer a pro government newspaper cold for a national debate about a potential hucks it, but it has spark a huge backlash in the country with claim as
5:18 pm
a prime minister to oregon is doing secret maneuvers behind closed doors. i thought is peter oliver now tries to report hungry future in the european union, subject to the whole debate right now. an article in a pro goldman newspaper by 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 government 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 sulphur, and exit from the e. u. the hungarian foreign minister, though, has dismissed out of hand the proposition of the countries exit and we're hungry has been a member of the european union and will remain a member of the european union, were interested to see the e. u as a stronger organization. budapest seem to have relished to throw up the use black
5:19 pm
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 jazz party started to suggest that now maybe the time to go their separate ways, arrogance politicians, robert faces and 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 debate. we know well how death party 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 for as well. the very idea of hooks that merely many
5:20 pm
outside of hungry just seeing her. the income been prime ministers, political rivals, fail pulling, hungry out of the eu. has been on all bands duellist for a while or been has been planning to leave the you for a long time. and now that they can seem to steal billions of euros and you found so easily, he's accelerating the exits. you membership may well end up being a campaign if you here in 2020 to put a cursory glance at the only country to leave the european union the day and all of the problems in doing that, they will serve as a cautionary tale. so those 2 things missing from brussels is the right idea. peter overall, the budapest, hungary, political scientist, daniel mika, says tensions we have a hung, gary, and government, and the e. you have never been greater. recently the younger in government started campaign against g, b, t, people and other
5:21 pm
u member states. i criticizing this campaign since 2015 crises, the governments to say you open space losing their own christian identity. and now they have only get this global is liberal identity. so this is when the government are not satisfied with the you, that's the rather the 25 in the culture dimension. whether on the on, on the policy dimension, what he's not changing is that it seems that the companies between the roof and union and the government will be more severe. and they're going to be also financial consequences of these. this is why actually did the government content place to initiate the new debate or the exit china has slammed the united states for its recent report on the origins of corona virus, accusing the us of trying to pin the blame on beijing. the us intelligence
5:22 pm
community has recently compiled the so called report on the origins of covert 19. it is a mendacious report, made up for political purposes. there is no scientific basis of credibility in it. and he was report filed by us. special services was released on friday states. the corona virus wasn't developed as a biological weapon admitting though, that intelligence agencies are in fact divided over that issue. it also accuses the chinese side of a lack of transparency and offers no final conclusion on the pandemic origin. the china claims. as for dietrich, maryland. well, let's learn more about this. joseph gregory mahoney, a professor of politics of the east china normal university and shanghai. now joining us ly from memphis, tennessee, here on the international very good evening from moscow to usa, is beijing rights, to be outraged by this study into the origins of the virus. absolutely, this is clearly a politicized effort from
5:23 pm
a government that repeatedly has proven itself possible. the china u. s. has been an incredible source of missed information about china most before and during the pandemic about many different issues. and certainly about the origins of covered, maintain congressional republicans loyal to trump. recently released to report their own report, the choosing china lab. and we have this, this new report from the intelligence community that is well known for lying openly to the american people and the international community to advance american strategic entrance. remember, all 7 is given to the un security council just by invading iraq after 911. and even when this intelligence community isn't lying, it often get things horribly wrong, like american prospect from progress in the past 20 years. so those who trust the american mission now whatever it is, do so personally for political reasons, not scientific ones. professor mahoney, i wanted to ask you because the western press never touches this story and i wanted
5:24 pm
to ask it. obviously the blame game has begun each side has their own story, but 20000000 chinese have signed a petition calling for, for dietrich, maryland to be investigated for dietrich into a well known biological weapons research lab. it's just in maryland, the outside the, the us capital apparently had a huge virus outbreak before china's hon. and in october 2019 soldiers from fort detrick's went to china for special athletic games, some se potentially bringing coven to china. but washington refuses to listen to any claims about for dietrich. do you know anything about this? i think there are 2 or 3 issues here to note. first, for dietrich is the military lab in the lab in question that one is not. and what is happening or what has happened historically and the law is not secret. in fact, it has been funded by international government including the united states and has hosted for in science. and whereas the district lab is a secret lab and has been engaged with top secret biological and chemical weapons
5:25 pm
research, decade to my understanding. there was not an outbreak, but there was a breakdown lap security in 2019. i think the key point here is not that the coded one think necessarily originated can dietrich rather most of the science that we have right now indicate above all a natural origin. i think in the case of china insisting on this, if they look, if you're going to push this off issue with us and more credible explanation than the lab is the district lab. so it's really a type of discourse strategy to push back against the american physician. well, as i said, both sides certainly have their own claims. there are an accusation as well. you mentioned who, how you mentioned to various international communities, helping to find out what was essentially ca, mera research laboratory there. but this is us taxpayer dollars that have been
5:26 pm
going the under, under the i guess oversight of fall. she is, well, does the average american understand there is a possibility that us taxpayer dollars have been paying for error research and possibly that for the coven research? you know, quite honest, i don't think most americans know the meaning of the world word era. and i don't think most americans are, excuse me, a critical mass of americans actually believe a truck by and given what we've seen with a large group of people rejecting the science and coded rejecting vaccines. and certainly rejecting bouchee mask and so and so forth. but i think the real question here is the fact that, you know, this research was ongoing and it was transparent. and furthermore, that the u. s. for many decade has played a key role along with china and providing a global public health net,
5:27 pm
a global public health security. and that has begun to a road and it certainly began to a road during the trump administration. when, when the truck administration began to cut ties and cut money to this type of swipe, in fact trump was very hospital of science and certainly climate change. and we suspect the climate change may have some potential intersection with this outbreak . so all of this has been going on, and there's still a lot of questions about all my question that we should be asking ourselves in the us when it, when it comes to us politics versus china. do you think co, if it is a very useful enemy? is it a very useful enemy? yes. well, you know, i don't know if it's an enemy, it's certainly something that we would hope that these 2 governments along with climate change would have come together to resolve instead of exploit and try to beat each other up over and possibly from the american side. so ment,
5:28 pm
cold war 2 point. oh, but yeah, i think that clearly those, this idea that bullet is ation of the origin. from a lab, this conspiracy, this, this lab leak live speech is definitely a weapon. migration to further america strategic interests against china. when you talk about america, strategic interests against china, we've seen, you know, it's going off the years now, but they keep, i'm picking it up with the patrols in the south china sea, the whole freedom of navigation movement that they're all these western partners. i mean, even even germany and ours has sailed, one of the ships up the taiwan strait as well. you know, you talk about anti china sanctions, anti china rhetoric. trump was calling this the kung food, kobe, china flew it all kind of comes into a package. doesn't it though, of one side versus the other east versus west. the geo politics, america knows that china is the next big economic kingpin. right? that's right. and in fact, it really, you know,
5:29 pm
a number of scholars have pointed out very specific to this outbreak. but even before this outbreak, you know this, this really big anti china portion started to emerge during the late years of the bombing ministration. but then really started accelerating after the chinese government under siege and things leadership began to solve the corruption problems and reform government and free my government. and that's when people in the west became really concerned that the communist party was not going to collapse with china. it was going to continue to move forward while the west was struggling with governance issues and solving insurance problems. and so that's when we really began to see, you know, not just the rise of trump and this new discourse, but this, this real fear. and this return sort of what we, what we used to call the euro, the yellow peril ideology that originated in germany under the old kaiser go home, which was directed to c, n. d, as the russians. and the chinese i'm but, you know,
5:30 pm
has the surface now with this idea of the evil chinese scientists spreading disease around the world with the old man to trope, in the early part of the 20th century and to a large extent, this is returned. and given the world i returned to mph racism, joseph gregory mahoney, professor of politics at east china, normally university in shanghai. joining us here from memphis, tennessee, really interesting commentary. thank you very much for joining us on our 3 international. we appreciate that. thank you. thanks for joining us here. your program return in half me the the the.
