ah, welcome to the program here on arty international. we come to live from moscow where it's now just off the 1 in the morning and just off the half past 2 in afghanistan. we start this hour with breaking news from cobble. we can now confirm the pentagon says it has now just confirmed the last us evacuation flight has just now departed from cobbled that is bringing america's 20 year presence in the country to an end. and just a short time ago, i spoke with our senior correspondent in couple would i guess the f. well there's, there's a lot of gun fly. these gun fire isn't. it isn't violent there. that you, there are no clashes and the capitol to tell about i celebrating it is everywhere. trace around. you may see them behind me flying into their, into the air in their thousands. the taliban is celebrating victory after

19 years, 10 months and $25.00 days of of the afghan war of the us. boy. and i've got to start the last us soldiers left up. got to start headed for presumably java basis in the middle east through pakistan. we heard tremendous air activity just before the announced, but we gathered that something big was going on and it quickly emerged at that. yes, there was all sorts of cover at 3, said she, 17 cargo plates. one of them, apparently hiring the ambassador of the united states to have got to start taking off from capital airport. the airport is now under the control of the taliban. that is where the gunfire started. his spread now, throughout the city machine guns rifles firing into the air raid read tre, surrounds, again, streaming into the air across the cities. it is ad points difficult,

difficult to hear. nevertheless, the united states leaves it in a sad state because many american citizens never mind. you are the citizens of us allies, citizens of european states. they are still stuck enough, gotta stop people with passports. we saw them today in capital city said in the hospitals, the crowds that passed around the airport. they were full of people with the visas, with passports desperate to get out of, of got a thought. they haven't managed to make it the taliban. and assures us, assures the international community that they will let them leave that even for translators, for american forces, who they brand as, as collaborate as even they will be able to leave one civilian floods. rescue that has been the taliban promise. we'll have to wait and see if it's true, as i say,

all around may gotten far. right now, the united states did say the pentagon did say that the taliban was helpful and useful in securing the perimeter around the airport. as over the last 2 or so weeks, the united states conducted an enormous evacuation the united states and its allies, mostly nato countries. evacuated more than a $100000.00 people, including military personnel. there are still those thousands, as i said, remaining. and i've got this done now to independent journalist and author nicholas j. s. davies. joining us here on our national during this breaking news. good to see you. thanks. for coming on the program so quickly, especially now it seems like it really has come to an end today. of course, his deadline day, the 34 1st of august i'd about half past 1 in the morning cobble time. it seems that the last us transport plane has left afghanistan after 20 years. mr. davis,

some people are asking at this point, what was the point? it's been 2 decades now. your thoughts? well, i can understand the saw african celebrating and firing guns in the air. and, you know, i mean, ha, this, this have been 20 years of misery, poverty corruption. and you know, incredible military violence against the people of afghanistan and now they are free. but of course, the west is still threatening kind of economic war. and medea benjamin and i wrote an article that was published today. well, you know, we talked about how bad the us and spent 2 trillion

dollars on this on. and yet only, you know, certainly no more than 2 percentage that actually went to afghanistan in any form that you know, even support for the government and economic assistance and humanitarian aid. the rest was all about fighting a war. that is what the united states has been doing. the 20 for do you say mac and dave? i think, i think you were a good point when you mentioned, for example, the issue of corruption in the amount of money that got into an honest on, you know, the former president shot gun and he fled a week or 2 ago with so many suitcases stuff with cash, he couldn't even fit them all one to his helicopter. but it's like, it's like this miss davis for us presidents, trillions of dollars to take. i've got just on away from the taliban,

only to give it straight back to the taliban. but now the evacuation is essentially over. what fate do you think awaits those ask on citizens, particularly those who work the allied forces, who did not get a chance to flee the country? well, you know the taliban did, did not stop. many of them from getting on the american plane and leaving it a promise that others, you know, any other to want to leave will be able to leave. i mean, you know it's, it's hard to predict, but i mean, so far the taliban have been good for, you know, they've been, they've kept their word about on those kinds of issues where they see seemingly have kept their word at this point mister davis that they promised no revenge attacks that they promised not to hurt anybody who was originally fighting the

taliban. but it's interesting you raised this point about the taliban because the, the american president joe biden has said in, in recent days and weeks that we have secret channels with a taliban, we are on the phone with them. we talk to them, we secure safe roads with their help. the way biden talks about the title about it's like they've become fairly decent and convenient bed fellows. what do you think the future holds for the relationship between washington and cobble with the taliban? well, it depends, quite frankly, and it depends as much on washington as on couple because you know, we have it was a g 7 meeting last week where they really talked about withholding age and holding on to 9000000000 dollars. and through central bank reserves from afghanistan as a car and, and talk to that as leverage to to

in fact try and preserve their interests in afghanistan. that after losing a 20 war, you know, they're still talking about trying to coerce times force. the new government of afghan is done to, to play with them to do what they want. you know, they, they frame it in terms of human rights and things like that. but clearly, you know, the west has not given up on, on retaining influence in afghanistan. one might expect that they certainly that's the one thing that they wouldn't give up or not mr. davis, but i wanted to ask you, are you are in the sunshine state of florida. you're in miami, i'm sure it's a very lovely day where you are now. what is the us reaction at this point? what's the media? they're saying anything from the white house at this point. what about the general public? how do they feel now about america getting out by deadline day,

often nearly 20 years. and i've got this done. well, you know, it's been a fantastic propaganda operation, frankly. i mean, you would think that everything was great and i've gotten this done until you know, until the us started leaving you would not know to listen to any of the commentators here. that the united states has dropped more than $80000.00 bombs and their focus on afghanistan. that's an average of $4000.00 a year for 20 years. you know, killing afghans. and, you know, thousands and thousands of special forces night grades that even us generals admitted, you know, more often than not, we're attacking innocent people and you know, my cases of mistaken identity and complete lack of intelligence and so on and so forth. that had been the nature of this war, but meanwhile,

the afghan people have been reduced to a state of absolute, abject poverty. whereas in 2008 only 60 percent of them said they could not enough money to support their families by 10 years later, by 2018, it was 90 percent of the population that said they could, you know, we're not earning enough to support their families and, you know, i get because the corruption of the, the us public government in afghanistan was a big part of that. because because you know, they were constantly right by, by transparency, international and other, other anti corruption groups as one of the 2 or 3 most corrupt governments in the world. what mr. davis is had, there was a sort of jumping, but there was a story just a few days ago that already that essentially the us dollar budget for the new kabul

guffman for the next year. 90 percent of it apparently has already disappeared. independent journalist and author nicholas j. s. davies. joining us live here on the national during this breaking news and hopefully a new dawn for our dentist on thanks for joining us here and see we appreciate it. thank you. yeah, thank you. well, it has certainly been a chaotic pull out and cobble is still counting the cost of last thursday's suicide . bombing survivors of that blast at the airport spoke exclusively to our crew. miko put after the explosion. i ran and many other people also ran. i didn't see who was shooting. i ran out into the street and heard both gone far and the sound of an explosion. i should probably be with him. i'm not sure if my brother was killed by an american bullish or a fragment of an explosive device. the americans opened fire to protect themselves because they feared another explosion. i was standing right next to my brother, so the right side of my neck were slightly cut,

and i also have problems with my right ear. i was concurred that as a terrorist attack, i broke out a couple that borders thousands tried to flee the country. almost 200 are killed while another 200 were injured. the ice k millison group claim responsibility for that attack. and we spoke to one of the doctors carrying for the victims. there were t bacons, 3 patients that the critical condition that we admitted to i q. one was in general. notice he was short in just an dorman and lake. and also in the hand, he did so he had 5 bullet wounds. he had money warms from, but i couldn't say that all of them were from somewhere somewhere. but in the wake of those days, bombing in cobble, we spoke to a man who is just meters away from the blast side. he claims to have seen us troops

firing directly on the crowd. although we should stress that his allegation has not been verified. this was something that we are living in probably like for 20 years or more than that. i hadn't witnessed christine that hurt our eyes over. i was alert full of yours and all through. we couldn't breathe. the oxygen was all like that. there was no oxygen at that time. after that, when that happened, the americans just shot the fire. i mean, they opened the guns at the people, there was only one exit and that was near the explosion area. so when they tried to push me and like i really tried to reach my aunt and her, but i couldn't dave for me and i thought that my aunt and her children's drug 10

feed or they are maybe god forbid, they might be dead by now. so when i went there and saw them, i was really thankful for that, that they were like, we saw me and many dead bodies. i like maybe more, more than 30 or 40 people were elaine beer dead. busy i mean, it was a really bad scene. i mean, when i saw them, i just didn't that just don't look at them. just look at it was. so, i mean, this is very bad for sure. when asked, or if there was evidence of us troops opening fire, cobble apple, the u. s. defense department practice. the secretary, john coby said he could neither confirm nor deny the claim. there appear to be images and reports from the ground that some of the african civilians killed may have been shot by the marines at the gate. at this point in time, since we're 48 hours, do you have any evidence that the marines or any of the us troops may have shot

injure or we can, we can confirm that and certainly not a position to deny it either. we are investigating this and as we get more information that we can reliably communicate to you about this and that we will post a suicide. bombing of the cobble airport claimed the lives of 13 american troops. the 1st death of us personnel, enough canister, in 18 months. it was also one of the highest daily death tolls of us troops in a decade. at the bodies of those soldiers were transferred back home on sunday to dover air force base among those paying their respects with the us president joe biden. however, when later quizzed by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer, sparking outrage online. take any questions or go ahead and ask janice dan, i'm not going to give you this man runs the mention of being held accountable until the issues that he badge responsibility for joe. no questions biden biden has no clue what's going on. he

won't answer any questions on a garrison because he can't answer any questions and get instant he's not all there mentally. time for him to resign. i'm not supposed to answer questions, isn't he? the boss who is running this show? kind of the dead were from the camp pendleton, military base and california. dozens of people have been laying flowers at the entrance of the dead comprise of 9 marines under salem, most of them just in the early twenties and those paying their respects. they are still looking for answers. government let him down the leaders as she could feel this through buds through bed 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 with, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, a us marine officer has been dismissed after accusing the government of botching the canister withdrawal. speaking in the wake of the cob, all that bored bombing stupid shell posted a video on social media that did go viral. so just for a moment, half a listen to this reason. people are so upset on social media right now is not because the marine on a battlefield let someone down. people are upset because their senior leaders let them down. and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we messed this up. all of these people are supposed to advise, and i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever. but i am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate barger airfield, the strategic barriers before we evacuate? everyone? did anyone do that?

and when you didn't think to do that one, raise your hands, then we completely mess this up. or just hours after posting that clip, lieutenant colonel shallow said he had been relieved of duty quote, for cause based on a lack of trust and confidence. however, he received an outpouring of support online and on sunday he posted another video saying he's also resigning his commission, adding, quote, i have forfeited my retirement all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar. we heard from from a marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. he thinks that someone needs to be held accountable. so lessons learned 1st on the issue, accountability is 100 percent, correct? i mean, we have a failure of policy that seems to be driven by political objectives that overrode operational reality. there has to be accountability or else there, there will be no lessons learned from this in the take. so on this point, other 10 occur sheller is 100 percent correct?

i take umbrage it to the way he got his message across. he was really relief for cause because his job was to train young marines to be prepared to fight in future conflicts. his job was not to be critical of policies passed by is senior leadership. while i sympathize with his position, he had no right to do this a while. he was uniform and he was fired. justifiably so we cannot have a situation where military officers feel that they have a duty to be critically outside of the chain of command about policies. they disagree with, or else we'd have some energy. we wouldn't have the will discipline military that we, that we need if we're going to actually, you know, maintain our, the national security states. the russian diplomatic mission in cobble is one of the few that decided to remain in the country. despite the telephone's return to power here at all, so we've been in regular contact with the embassy since the city fell to the militant group. the ambassador shared with us his view on the current situation and

following of course, the rest of the last week the when the taliban came on august, the 16th we needed, we had contact with them. we made a point by point list with them about our security. they told us they would guarantee everything and agree to all 20 security points. so far for 2 weeks. they have kept their word. then we evacuated several 100 russian citizens from cobble. we took them in buses to the plains, so we needed to tell a bunch of provide security because they were the only actual authority and cobble we came to arrange with them and they kept all their promises. ah, we proceeded from the real objective picture. we understood how the situation was developing and who we were dealing with are for the many foreign embassies. i have been in contact with the buses until the very last moment. i wonder why they made such incorrect conclusions and forecasts before august 15th,

when president connie fled in a helicopter with money. they have said that we in our countries proceed from the facts, the garnet with the legitimate president for 5 years. and i no longer knew what to say to them before that for a year i told them asked the africans if they support ghani 2 high ranking representatives of western countries told me that they understood that this country supported the taliban. that they understood everything, but they had their own tasks salaries, and they said, we understand that we have to leave. therefore, i was surprised at what incorrect conclusions withdrawn. and now apparently they will have to analyze what exactly they did wrong. well, we return now to a topic that off he feels deserves a bit more attention. the latest, a series of reports we're looking at how the prison system is being abused by some transgender convicts to allow themselves access to female inmates. a growing number of women for their lives, which has been turned into a living hell. so here on the program will leave you for now with today's report in

which my colleagues tusky taylor spoke to one female convict from california about her traumatic experience. thank you for joining us. let me this time with focusing on the case of chemical johnson. the mother and former highway patrol officer is solving 15 years for killing her abusive husband. he was fatally shot while attacking her. the pads struggled with the gun to meet your housing and costs rated in the central california women's facility since how conviction back in 2012. but for the last few months, she claims that she's faced fresh abuse this time from her soulmate, a transgender woman. so tell me the 1st thing i want to ask you is what contact you had with trans inmates and how that affected your time in prison. it had a very adverse effect on my entire will be,

he was very violent. he was very vulgar. he was at hi, not screaming at all times. well, he will have a stroke of anger and he will start talking like a man there will be crying. this particular transgender was so evil and meticulous of all the way that we would clean our crew was the way we would use the restroom. he was made by the door to make sure that you were doing number 2, that you cleaned up behind yourself appropriately. like you can see his feet from the bottom of the door just standing there waiting for you to finish the rest. or if you didn't do it being like you want to do as far as cleanliness, the way you want to do them, been what great something to you. he would prefer to make you go back and clean the from the way he spoke, the reference point pricing was a forward we have to for that sometimes looking whack are for here i would have to get all my every me literally what

a bottle the windex and the kyle and clean the floor to me, you know, different day when i was at home living in the recent transgender i had a girlfriend. that was actually my phone to me. he would, he'd all miss her. all he would choker, he sure is the locker, bringing her up off of her off before her feet will be swinging. he will be national guard against the locker and it will be sometimes over. it will be, she didn't want to be well man. and he would get angry and then he would attack her never reporter news. i never saw her go out to talk to the old one or in our crew. and i seem to be without aware of what was going on. what we, i was told later on by a foreign to that because of my former career that i was actually placed in that sale. was that me on partly like it was a joke. i used to be

a police officer. so there were a certain amount of c o n manny to meet, who had a problem with the fact that i was once a police officer. so that's the reason why this game was played on me in the 1st place, also live down. so hopefully also traps we've contacted the central california women's facility about the allegations for commons. not like i said to mika is incarcerated in california. one of the most o g b, t friendly states. at the start of this year, local authorities passed a controversial bill. but let's trans inmates requests to transfer to facilities that align with that gender identity. now since then, around $300.00 such requests have been submitted. as of june, not one has been rejected. why do you think some government officials are pushing for this? i think it's politics for i think the l g b t community,

although they're small in comparison to the rest of the community. they have a lot of poor resources. they have a lot of money to have a lot of support. we have a lot of reach, they have a lot of political power. they. they donate a campaign, a lot of it is off. it's dripping people who want to maintain certain offices into the scenes or have the operations to move up. they are pretty confused every week report because they need support. i think that there are some good people out there who want to see everybody become face or be face. and so they'll play to the heart strings of both people to say, hey, these people need to go to another institution because they're being worked that both people don't have the full spectrum of the data. the fact that sold people could go to see if she's there specifically for so that's

california. but over in the u. k. similar concerns all being voice to a one form a prison inmate who wished to remain anonymous. and that just she was sexually assaulted by a transgender cell mate who had previously been put behind falls as a man to sex offences against women. been in prison with mail, prisoners, you always feel an edge. you know, something could happen attorney time. we know they are not women, they are physically threatening and aggressive. i was sexually assaulted and i'm not the only woman who has been, they haven't had surgery and they expose themselves. one of them had been told he couldn't shower at the same time as asked women, he made a formal complaint and said this was a breach of his human rights. so now he's allowed to shower with us and because he now has that's right. the other males have the right to current u. k. law allows inmates to be housed in prisons which suit that declared gender regardless. so was a, they've had gender reassignment surgery. ah,

i readily accept the proposition that some and pops many women prisoners may stuff . a fear and acute anxiety if required to ship prison, accommodation, and facilities with a transgender woman who hasn't male genitalia. however, the subjective concerns of women prisoners are not the only concerns which the defendant had to consider in developing the policies. he also had to take into account the rights of transgender women in the prison system. by bringing this

challenge, i did not seek to prevent trunk women in prison from leaving indignity or.
