threats to the populations of different nations. if nato disbanded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions or in business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is faster than the new taliban. these evidently out to when to borrow a phrase the hodson mind of the afghan people, rods and crush them as the previous taliban would have done. well, he speaks exclusively to taliban militant and find out if people's fears about the territory grounded. and while faith away, those who helped coalition for it, of course we don't like them, they are traces, but they may be toola, decreed that we do not flip them, that they are under honesty. and so we do not touch them. anyone who stays,
8:01 am
we are killing them, is lying in walton taliban deploy extra security at cobb lab. following the distressing things from earlier in the week when a suicide attack had targeted decides claiming at least a 170 lives, including 13 us marine, hundreds of people were also left in probably 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent on the veteran's voice that angered how the situation in the country unraveled so quickly. just even invading a dentist that was radius taylor. historically, no one has been ever able to conquer up data. we didn't continue to make the same big mistake and were just being used for the will be m i c. and that's the news.
8:02 am
good afternoon. thanks for joining us for the weekly here. i know it's been 2 weeks now since the taliban swept back to power and canister. the group is announced that it will form a new government soon. that uncertainty and fear prevailing among many african people for i guess, be in cobble for as an speaking exclusively to the medicine group about what the future holds. the initial shock of the taliban takeover has now war enough. people are ours in the streets. they aren't as scared as they were. the shops are all opened. nevertheless, it's still all in limbo. people are sure what will come next. people are sure with a bad swallow, but people are sure what the taliban, what this new tyler bob will do next. with taliban of today claims it's very different to the taliban. of the ninety's. when the magenta dean were lost and capital,
8:03 am
they with savage trust that jesus executions abounded problem though i think is of it all afraid the 1st will say it would be like 9 to 9 to 6 when the taliban came to paula. but from what we can see, they aren't as aggressive anymore as you me to think. people were scared of being killed or being kidnapped by the taliban. i haven't seen anything like that with my own eyes. they say it's happening on tv and on youtube. but i haven't seen any such cases myself on the piece, largely rains in capital. the taliban is trying to show that it has changed the islamic emerett, their official name news that it has an image problem. and many others besides the reputation preceded them. tens of thousands fled, pled capital fled the country. they didn't want to put the taliban, the promise of amnesty mercy and reform to the test. thank him all. maybe i have only contempt for those, leaving those with brains. the young was how will the country recovery develop if
8:04 am
they all leave? which is why they're making such a public relations effort. why out permit us foreign media to film and talk to the fighters. but that's what they did. let us seem to the check pointed, feel the trophies. so this is one of the tyler bands. how much, what would be volts? even on videos? they have hundreds and hundreds of these thousands of other vehicles, billions of dollars worth of weapons with a valid munition vehicle tags and even helicopters that were just left behind by the afghan military. as it retreated. they've running out of flags to put up across capital. the city and their own, their own vehicles, they related to hoist up white cloth, symbolic of the taliban white flag, the speed of the taliban. the advance has left them visibly exhausted fighters get little sleep, there's too much to do and to few to do it for now. but that hasn't lessened.
8:05 am
there's you coalesced with some one of them for many years. we fought for the independence of afghanistan from the americans, and we will continue to tirelessly fight against invaders all the time. more people join us. the taliban has learned the ways of the world. the hard way, zeal, and fanaticism are good for fighters. but leaders need clear a heads. this is why they exercising more restraint. why they're keeping their hotheads on a leash, held by older and more experienced merge ideas. afghan citizens who worked with who cooperated, who translated for, for american forces, for european forces, but also for their embassies, also for their organizations that worked here. there is an absolute belief that this is sure to happen that you are going to kill any one that was against the taliban. now that you've come to power, is that true? most good enough, of course, we don't like them, but if they want to leave, they can leave. they can go to america, but they will never be loyal even there,
8:06 am
they are traitors. but they may be tula decreed that we do not touch them. they are under amnesty and so we do not touch them. anyone who stays, we are killing them, is lying after several days here at campbell, at is a parent that the taliban has a massive shortage of manpower. the fight is a book overworked and stretched. nevertheless, this new to taliban is evidently out to win, to borrow a phrase, the hearts and minds of the afghan people rather than crush them. as the previous taliban would have done. whether they're being honest, though remains to be seen as the clock camps down to the august 31st withdrawal deadline evacuation efforts continue with countries racing to get the last of the nationals out in the africa all me. the police and the western bank government are also desperately searching for an exit route as they now fear persecution from the taliban. well, those we just heard. the group has promised they sweeping,
8:07 am
amnesty ripley video agency spoke 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 in 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 country will be in peril. currently, the universities and schools are closed and we are concerned about our children's
8:08 am
future being quoted. in the meantime, the militants have surrounded the capital, therefore, with extra governance. it follows the terrorist attack earlier in the week when it was rocked by a deadly explosion that claimed the lives of at least a 170 people. warning the following footage contained some graphic images. the the, i'm sorry, i didn't get much. the suicide bombing happened to the entrance to the ample, where afghans were waiting in line to be processed to fly out the blast tool through the crowd bodies with thrown into a nearby sewage channel. people have been amassing at the sight for days,
8:09 am
trying to flee the televisions return. we spoke with allie hassan, he says that he was at cobble airport when the tragedy occurred. today, been to the airport. i was standing on to get i will need to get in the used to so we're close to like 5 minutes away. i just thought there was like 45 minutes they had and they had to run. they was looking look danish people renewed the duration parliament, the difference of them, the type of type of goods they're waiting. we're looking, we're suspicious. they didn't have downs what they was looking to the airport. they was looking to be used troops. i will 100 of them when they get back to my line, when they get back to the learners with the people, they want 2 or 2 minutes. an explosion happened when it came. it was near. it was near the lake 1st and away. an accident happened. didn't go on 1st of the year,
8:10 am
the gun for 278 me big guy going to i was in the it when they get to the line, they used to say, i think those guys that there was behind the use looking guns. i mean your camera after the used through the call, the people that stay away stay away. but the people didn't move. they told me they are joking because they did these things, money pants. they was always didn't get to the stairways. and in the us started tubing, gas, gas, and smoke. when the people the day they to like 6 to 7 gas people, the people who really need to get danger they saw there was like this woman danger dfs was born in. it was sitting there was lying on the ground with tragedy left hundreds of people injured. many of them needed hospital treatment. her number
8:11 am
remained in critical condition. we spoke to one survivor who described his experience i had applied for the visit, 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 to the last one side of my abdomen and then they brought me to hospital is one of the wounded splinter, great behind to say is attack has been active in eastern afghanistan and pakistan and lost a savage campaign of bloodshed when it was founded back in 2015 details his interest on 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
8:12 am
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 the the
8:13 am
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,
8:14 am
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 isis 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 tolerable members, who wanted to carry out attacks on us targets inside pakistan and afghanistan.
8:15 am
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 pakistan 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, the 13 marines killed in thursdays, a tank with the 1st deaths of us personnel in afghanistan for 18 months. and one of the largest daily dest tells, in a decade, 10 of the service men killed from the camp. pendleton, military base in california. dozens of people been laying flowers at the entrance to the site that comprised of 9 marines and a sailor most of them in the early twenties. pendleton bass is home to the 1st
8:16 am
marine division, the largest, an oldest in the court, was paying their respects, including relatives of the dead express, the sorrow and frustration of the tragic event. and let him down the leaders and as she could feel stupid, stupid mission at this point and tell him to send them in like that you never want to, you never want to see something like that happen. and so that's that's, that's our break. and there's not enough words to express, you know how i feel right now. but i just, you know, i feel that somebody has led on their hands and it's just was so i need it so unnecessary. you know, they seen army veterans voice their anger at the current situation, play dance. we heard from 2 ac service, the real failure of this war and can expand or whatever you want to call that
8:17 am
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 even pulling out of just even invading up dana. stan was a radio taylor historically no one has been ever able to conquer up down. people are offset. busy with people i talked to r a re it's completely budged. there is no. ready political will, and there is still americans trapped in afghanistan and still haven't been able to get to go. 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 going to continue to make the same big mistakes because we're not the
8:18 am
ones that are pocketing the mit. and we're just being used for the will of the m i c. and that's and that's what i'd say about that. i c, k is not the new faction capable of carrying out such attacks. not the warning coming from the afghan national resistance front, the controls upon g valley and every now soon as the heartland of anti taliban opposition is for relations. i believe the terrorist threat in the country now is even higher than it was 20 years ago. a warning graphic image is coming up, 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 there to watch of the taliban 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
8:19 am
something that the national resistance front of afghan on has been saying for the past year. we believe the international community should help our efforts to combat or national terrorism. and i'm going to some of the, to the international community abandon scanned them, and we saw how afghanistan became a haven for terrorists. whoops, the same will happen if the international community abandoned up canada into 2021. there's no posed threats towards everyone. no one is exempt and terrorism is after every state, whether it's part of the western world or the new stuff. was the crisis enough canister them folds wiki leagues is drawing attention to past revelations about america's longest war and the series of twitter post the organization re published classified us documents it 1st linked to the public a decade ago bank. then we can expand the julian songs warned that the u. s. intervention would be an endless war. beneficial to only
8:20 am
a few. the court takes 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's 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 for the 90. 1000 leaked reports that shed light on the grim affairs. the u. s. was for understandable reasons hesitant to share with the public the unvarnished ground level picture of the word of god has done that in many respects more green than the official betrayal of the biggest leagues in u. s. military history. a devastating portrait of the failing war in afghanistan.
8:21 am
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 to assad's 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. julius, i'm using aging 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,
8:22 am
you display the same accusation to the, to the person that is making accusation against you. wiki 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 and was poorly investigated, an american soldier was killed. they killed in an ac $130.00 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
8:23 am
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. for example, is the task force free 73 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
8:24 am
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 use wash money out of its way out of the base of your back into the hands of a trend that is my goal in to have in the morning. no 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. if extradited from a u. k. jail cell to the united states of the scale of america's problems in afghanistan has been revealed in 20 de classified documents published by the us
8:25 am
national security archive. one shows how issues were consistently and deliberately hidden from the public. i can 2002, then defense secretary donald rumsfeld was worried. the mission was drifting, but he never mentioned it publicly. rather arguing that there was no point in negotiating with the remnants of taliban. well, in the decade later, an american diplomat had the same, consents 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 against on, we went from saying that we will get rid of ok so they can threaten us to say we're going to end the television. then we said that we will get all the truth the tell about work with then further to have in 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 wiki link says that recent events in afghanistan, vindicate groups leagues all those years ago to supported by all the revelations
8:26 am
that came out of the documents by we can use 11 years ago. some of them, of course, went from earlier period ca, documents, diplomatic cables, military documents, you know, all the, the, the, through the true picture of what was going on. and i'm kind of some 11 years ago. and it was somehow didn't register the, the ly continues, and that is the, the most of pricing for you know, about the current events, basically is the thing clearly may seem media cars come to record with this. how was it possible for 20 years to maintain the law? what was going on inside them? julianna's, and also said that the africa was being used to launder american and european money . what, what did he mean by that? the trillion dollar plus the trillion dollars probably under estimate did
8:27 am
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, the corruption inside the sun where basically money was used as carols on to, to pump on the fire. or there were no logs. good on the fire, just to gasoline being pumped on the fire that does not create a lasting bonfire. everybody knows what's going on to national. we brought you right today. don't forget the last one you stories covered on a website. check them out by heading to r t dot com. oh, the
8:28 am
8:29 am
direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in the is the still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos. 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 a dog and quacks like a dog dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trays like a monopoly makes money like the monopoly behaves like monopoly, like amazon actually controlled the market play. it's not really a market, it's a private arena where a single company controls the distribution of daily products. and the
8:30 am
infrastructure of our economy is, according to amazon the government has to determine which owns the going to ensure and which zone is it not going to insure. and it does that based on a racial, makeup of neighborhoods. neighborhoods that had a certain number of black residence would have literally red lines drawn around them on the map. and they wouldn't insure mortgages in those areas because they believed that the properties would not hold value. the main turn down alone. they said, i'm a bad risk banks take up that same practice. they decide they're not going to land in those areas. that meant that all the benefits that were flowing to potential homeowners were flowing to whites and not going to minorities. make this element of racism into our homeowners culture problem. it's not a problem, it's been up and i.
