the who's, who's watching the week p. r t international. the taliban surrounds cobble pool with extra pool says foreign countries, race against time to evacuate that troops and citizens to meet the end of the month deadline. the, the extra security comes off to the app. what was walked by a suicide bomb attack on thursday, which claimed at least $170.00 lives, including 13 us marines, hundreds of people, what are left injured?

following a 20 years of war, trillions of dollars spent on the veterans voice that i've got how the situation in the country unraveled so far. just even invading dana fan was a radio failure. historically, no one has ever able to conquer up down if we're just gonna continue to make the same big mistake. and we're just being used for the will of the m i. c. i bring you our pick of the biggest stores from past 7 days. this is the weekly live from moscow. good to have your company. while starting off the u. s. has warned, it's highly likely that will be another explosion in the afghan capital reef. and within the coming hours, they say a deadly blast,

and called earlier this week claimed the lives of at least 170 people. a warning, the following footage contains graphic images the the sub i was looking to do what was the suicide bombing happened on entrance to the airport, where our downs were waiting in line to be processed to fly out the blog to tool through the crowd and bodies was thrown into a nearby sewage train. people had been messing at the site for days, trying to leave a ton of bonds, were ton ortiz more accounts to report from the tragedy torn capitol and tear 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, anti terror rates across the city, trying to identify to detain, to catch more isis. members from off a dozen to a dozen ice supporters were detained, arrested around couple 3 of them had their pictures published by the taliban. and the taliban is promising to put a stop to, to stamp out, to put an end to ices presence here in capital around of gotten this done. but this is something they say they will only be able to do what 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. so i just came to strike again, especially given how much cottage the last attack caused perhaps publicity for them . this is exactly the talent that says what they want. they want to discredit the

taliban and they want to get people on that side. only we can provide you with security as we are the true gods people here. and i've got to stop. they say that the taliban is as to week, it is to western eyes, but it has lost its edge. nevertheless, the united states as also inactive maximum security measures at the airport around several checkpoints in the area, has been clear that people tried to get to close. warding shots offered both by the taliban by us troops that flashback with a gas grenades used it. if the crowd gets out of control, but things that also desperate for ordinary people that that includes people who work with us forces with nato 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 be they 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 queue huge. there is a sense of desperation. we spoke to ali has sony who is in cobble airport when the tragedy happened to dave in to the airport of cobbled i was in standing on to get. i will need to get here and they used to so it's very close to us like 5 minutes away. i just thought there was like 45 minutes. they had and they had to run. they was looking look dash c. p will renew, desertion, parliament. the difference of them, the type of type of goods they're waiting. we're looking, we're suspicious. they didn't have what they was looking for. the airport they was looking to be used to. i will a 100 of them. when they get back to them to my line. and they get back to the learners with the people like after one or 2 minutes,

an explosion happened when they began, it was near, it was near that is laid 1st in a way an accident happened. then i go on, 1st of the year, the gun for the 78, the gun going to i was in the it can it when they get to the line, they used to say it. i think the guys that there was behind the use of looking guns. i mean your camera after the used through they call the people that stay away, stay away with people didn't. they told me that they are joking because they did these things, money pants. they was always in jeff davis and in the us started trooping gas guessing smoke when the people the day they to like 6 to 7 guess people the people who really need to gets dangerous. i saw there was like 5 to 6 women day difference was born in. do you think there was lying on the grounds?

the tragedy left hundreds of people entered many needing hospital treatment and a number remain still in critical condition. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the visit and the foreigners 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 is one of the wounded. the isis, a splinter group behind the phase attack has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan and launched a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded in 2015. with more details, his equal tunnel, 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 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 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 african offshoot of the same notorious 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 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 emerett 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 taliban controlled galveston. 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 led 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. as the clock counts down to the august 31st withdraw that line evacuation efforts continue with countries racing to get the last of the nationals out. those who served in the african me police on the west and back governmental also desperately searching for an exit route as they now fear persecution from the taliban. despite the group

promised for a sweeping, i'm the thing roughly your agency talk to a man who served as a special forces officer under the previous government. so that in a moment i had always wanted to join the military and say, when i graduated from school, i did and i received training at the academy of special forces in cobble unit was deployed to areas where i 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 own show. the biggest concern i have is my children. we studied, we got an 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 code is 13 marines killed in 30 days attack. what the foster solve us personnel, enough can it's dawn in 18 months on one of the largest daily dec tools in a decade. it's seen only veterans voicing that angle at how the current situation is played out. we heard from 2 x the real failure of this war enough can expand or whatever you want to call that a conflict was explicitly pointed out in the dentist and papers where a lot of generals basically spoke about the fact that there was no mention. they had no mission, they didn't know what they were doing there, and they didn't know what they were going to do in the future anyway. so yes, of course i think, i think not pulling out of just even invading up dana fan was a radio daily or historically no one has been ever able to conquer up people or. busy the people i talked to or a read is completely botched. there is no. ready political will,

and there is still americans trapped in afghanistan and still haven't been able to get to and as far as lessons learned from, i mean other previous words. i mean, if we haven't learned from vietnam, if we didn't learn from, you know, from iraq and early to thousands. i mean, we're just gonna continue to make the same big mistakes because we're not the ones that are pocketing the mit. and we're just being used for the with the m i c, and that's, and that's what i'd say about that. i said, hey, it's not the only fraction capable of carrying out such attacks. any thoughts? the warning for me after national resistance front, which controls the punches valley, an area now seen as the heartland of the antique taliban opposition its foreign relations had believes the terror threat in the country right now is even higher than 20 years ago. a warning, the all graphic images ahead. it could be, i says k,

but 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. unfortunately, international terrorism and sun is much stronger compared to 2001. this is something that the national resistance front of afghan is on, has been saying for the past year. we believe the international community should help our efforts to combat or national terrorism and in the, to the international community. abandoned that scanned them. and we saw how afghanistan became a haven for terrorists groups. the same will happen in the international community abandons of canada into 2021. there's no pose threat towards everyone. no one is

exempt. and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world or the eastern, the telephone is still viewed as a terrorist organization. by most countries, it spokesperson outlined their objectives to us. so now that they've seized upon power, the house was 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 what 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 head, it's not a big problem. there were only 2 people to who would like to continue the war.

amory la stella and afterward my suit. we repeatedly appeal to my food to resolve the existing problems through negotiations. and there is no need for a military confrontation. we've not received an answer to our cold, and that's not a problem either. or i'm forced as a station nearby pension here to keep the situation under control mall. i believe the current situation is entirely dependent on the afghans and no one else. you are not going to become a threat to the states bordering us using the g o strategic factor. we have good relations with tajikistan is back as time to minister on pakistan. iran, china. i can assure our neighbors that they should not fear any threats, home or damage from our territory. the belly law and 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 in the region, but also with other interested. st. went down still ahead, painful reminders of the past. a wiki league pulls that whistle, blowing. archives, so on, i've gone on to re expose a multitude of problems over the years would be us lead mission will have all the details on that off the break. ah jain me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me.

so what we've got to do is identify the 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 when i would show the wrong, when all just don't get to shape out, the thing becomes the african and engagement equal betrayal. when so many find themselves world far as we choose to look for common ground,

the welcome back of the crisis in afghanistan unfolds wiki, warring attention to pulse revelations about america's longest war and a series of twitter. post the organization, republish classified us documents, which it fos leak to the public a decade to go back then we can take founded to, to and found, warned that the u. s. intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only a few dollar quarter, picks up the story. the swift fall of the afghan capital cast a dark shadow over every sacrifice made in the fight against the taliban. but there is a man who tried to stop things from going down this road. his name is julian, a son, she is the co founder of wiki leaks, and behind one of the biggest revelations in u. s. military history. in 2010,

the whistleblower group released the afghan papers more than 90. 1000 leaked reports that shed light on the grim affairs, the u. s. was for understandable reasons hesitant to share with the public me the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that is in many respects more green than the official betrayal of the biggest leagues in u. s. military history. a devastating portrait of failing war in afghanistan when these reports came into the public eye, washington's reaction was not to say, sorry, or even to try to deflect a guilt. instead, it shifted the blame on 2 songs, calling him a criminal for apparently putting american lives in danger. what he likes,

walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. it is an attack on the international community. julie, this is engaged in terrorism. he should be treated as an enemy combatant. so a sounds put american lives in danger when he showed the world how us soldiers actually killed innocent people, how publications documented their involvement, a case by case level in the death more than 20000 people in afghanistan and more than 108000 people in iraq, and so when you want to distract from this, you just make the same accusation to the, to the person that is making accusation against you. what do you, leaks determined that the 2006 operation medusa resulted in one of the highest civilian death tolls of the war? despite the shocking circumstances surrounding the event, it was poorly investigated. an american soldier was killed. they called in an ac 130 gunship. this is a c 130 cargo, refitted with canons on the side. it circled overhead and rained down shells the

warlock say $181.00 enemy were killed. the logs also say there were no wounded or captured, it was a significant massacre. the afghan papers go on to suggest that the cover ups began with those actually carrying out the slaughter us soldiers reporting on their own actions appear to lump civilian deaths with the number of insurgency had killed. wiki leaks, revelations also shed light on special task force. 373, and a lead unit task with hunting down taliban leaders. many times though, they were involved in the killing of civilian men, women, and children, and washington later trying to water down the situation with misleading information about what happened. one example of this was when the task force fired rockets at a compound quoting nefarious activity there, but it was apparently not the case. it does appear to be evidence of all crimes in

this material. example is the task for 373 high miles missile strike on a house which killed 7 children. nato later recognized the children's deaths they had caused, but said that initially they had no idea they were there. the colossal price american taxpayers paid needless suffering caused the fall of a corrupt, failed state. why did all this continue for so long? one answer is gigantic profits for giants. of the military. industrial complex with stock returns from 2001 to 2021. for government contracted companies like lockheed martin and northrop grumman, totaling more than 1000 percent. it's one of many seemingly inevitable consequences of what a sons' claimed is. money making scheme of endless war to wash money out of a way on the basis of europe. back

into the hands of a trend that is my goal is to have in the morning. i wonder the west may want to bury the truth and condemn julian a song whose fate is still hanging in the air as he faces 175 years in prison, extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states. the scale of america's problems in afghanistan has been revealed in 20 declassified documents published by the u. s. national security. archive. one shows how issues work consistently and didn't brittany, hidden from the public back in 2002, the ben defense secretary donald rumsfeld, was worried. the mission was drifting, but he never mentioned it publicly brought the altering that there was no point in negotiating with the remnants of the taliban. more than a decade later, an american diplomat had the same concerns. the 1st question of did we know what we

were doing? i think the answer is no. if there was ever a notion of mission creep up, get this done. we went from saying that we will get rid of ok, so they can threaten us to say we're going to end the taliban. then we said, we will get all the troops the telephone works with then further to have our exit strategy b. s. table government, and again, it's done. we have to say good enough is good enough. that's why we're there. 15 years later, the editor in chief of woodson says, recent events in afghanistan vindicate the group slicks all those years ago to supported by all the regulations that came out of the documents published by we can use 11 years ago. some of them, of course, were from earlier period ca, documents, diplomatic cables, military documents, you know, all the, the, the truth, the true picture of what was going on. and i'm kind of from 11 years ago. and it

was somehow didn't register the, the lie continued. and that is the, the most of pricing for, you know, about the, the current events basically is. and i think that the mainstream media cars come to record with this. how was it possible for 20 years to maintain the law? what was going on inside the union? a santa also said that the afghan war was being used to launder american and european money. what did he mean by that? the trillion dollar plus the trillion dollars and under estimate did go into us or pocket the military industrial complex, the, the private contractors like dunkirk who were supposed to be training the outcome, police, et cetera. it was a massive flow of money that went into the wrong pocket. it could only be called corruption on a large scale. on top of that,

of course there's the corruption inside the sun where basically money was used as carol zone to, to pump on the fire that there were no logs could on the fire or just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire, everybody knows that. now it's all round up of the headline, grabbing stories from the past 7 days for up to the minute development on that much more. of course, i don't know if you don't have a great day me. ah ah ah ah ah

ah, americans love by an armed ah, the sort of funny middle part of how our political leadership and our country large understood the bargain. you get a whole 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 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 me i i i thought with this guy, he's drunk. you know, come out here and back underneath, right. just to put a space ship, they allowed her to be drank in some kind of bad whiskey or something. i guess he's got enough money to do it. whatever he wants to do is get the money.
