give us president joe biden ducks out of answering app down a stem related question that the bodies of the fallen us troops killed in last week's airport, vomit tank and cob overturn. home destroy veteran are looking for an answer. german, let him down the loose super mission at this point and tell him and in the latest in our special investigation series, we continue to explore issues around transgender inmates being placed in women's prison. sometimes with dire consequences, will be hearing of the trauma of one female convict allegedly went for i

the o y direct from studios and master. this is our teacher national. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to do with us. right now. the last us evacuation flight has taken off from cobble bringing america's 20 year presence in afghanistan to an end. the news was met with celebratory gunfire by the taliban in the afghan capital. i senior correspondent what our country has more. well there's, there's a lot of gun fly. these gun fire isn't. it isn't violent their value. 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, jobs 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 that yes, there was all sorts of cover at 3, said she, 17 cargo plates. one of them apparently carrying 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 red tre, surrounds again, streaming into the air across the cities. it is ad points difficult, difficult to hit. 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 in afghanistan, people with passports. we saw them today in capital city said in the hospitals, the crowds were packed 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 tally 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 god 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 though thousands, as i said, remaining, and i've got to start speaking shortly after the final evacuation flight had departed. you had us secretary of state anthony blink and praised the evacuation effort, while acknowledging that many people are still stuck in afghanistan. this is been a massive military, diplomatic and military and undertaking one of the most difficult donations history and extraordinary feet of logistics and coordination under some of the most challenging circumstances. imagine that we will continue our relentless efforts to help americans foreign nationals and atkins. leave afghanistan, if they choose, we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate and work alongside us and our

particular risk reprisal. we've gotten many out, but many are still there. it has been a chaotic pullout and cobble is still counting the cost of last thursday, suicide bombing survivors of that blast at the airport spoke exclusively to our crew with them 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 bob 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 bullet 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 deadly. terrorist attack broke out near a couple airport as thousands tried to flee the country. almost 200 people were

killed while another 200 were injured. the isis came, milton group had claimed responsibility for that attack. we spoke to one of the doctors carrying for the victims. there were 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 leg and he's also in the hand. he did 5. so we had 5 booms, he had many warms from bartow, i couldn't say that all of them are from somewhere somewhere. but it in the wake of thursday's bombing in cobble, we spoke to a man who was just meters away from the blast site. and he claimed 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 1st thing that hurt our eyes. i was alert full of years and also 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 being was only one exam and that was near the explosion area. so when they tried to push me and like i really tried to reach my on and then, but i couldn't push me. and i thought that my aunt and her children rather than pete or they are maybe god forbid, they might be good 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 laying their dead. i mean, it was 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 if there was evidence of us troops opening fire at couple airport, the u. s. defense department press secretary john kirby said he could neither confirm nor deny that claim there appear to be images and reports from the ground that some of the afghan civilians killed may have been shot by the marines advocate 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 injury that week? 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 5 now to david swanson, executive director of the world beyond war movement. thanks for being with us here on our international beer. so anthony, blinking, he praised evacuation effort, it was a massive effort while acknowledging many people are still stuck there. what did you make of his statement? well, i don't have much use for anything he says, and i find the entire coverage of being incredibly bizarre. you know, 2 weeks ago, most people in the united states didn't know there was a war. and we're getting wall to wall 247 saturation coverage of the ending of a war. as if it is some sort of her griffin act of violence. they, they've been blowing up families and miss handling disasters and shooting people for 20 years. you know, and the only reason we're hearing about one family getting blown up or these other

incidence is because they're side stories to this big top story of the longest war ending, which is only the longest war. if native americans aren't real people and is only ending if bombing a country doesn't count as war it, the whole thing is, is just incredibly strange. so what do you think away to those still trying to flee? i've dentist and i mean both african nationals and americans are still there. how can america assist them now without a diplomatic mission or armed forces there? and we have heard promises from the taliban, but can we rely on those as well? again, it's incredibly strange that the united states is assuring us the u. s. government is assuring us that the taliban has agreed and promised, and they've worked things out with the calvin. wow. removing the embassy and refusing to admit the taliban even exist as a government because they're so irrationally angry about their beloved war. there,

you know, the united states, if it wanted to do something, could do it most effectively outside of afghanistan by changing its approach to nations. by the scene to arm and support and train and on the worst of dictators, ships around the globe by the dozens. and instead supporting the most democratic, most human rights oriented governments. by joining the international criminal court by joining treaties on human rights, rather than tearing down the rule of law. but this would be a whole different approach. the taliban has been asking why aren't we as good as saudi arabia. and it's hard to know how to answer that. there is a little bit of movement on that front, if you will. the pentagon officials are saying that the taliban were helpful in securing the airport. they're suggesting some sense of cooperation. how closely do you think the us will continue to work with the taliban now in the light of the isis k. common folk?

yeah, i think it depends a lot on the politics and the rhetoric of congress, members of both parties, the u. s. media outlets. there is certainly nothing worse about the taliban and then 1520 other governments. i could name that the united states fully supports and arms and drains their militaries. the question is whether the enemy of my enemy or rhetoric will outweigh the, the possibility of republican scoring points against biden, by suggesting that he's on the side of the worst enemy in history. because everyone's, of course, forgotten that the united states supported some of the same people in decades gone by. do you think that the u. s. will now continue to launch drone strikes against isis k. now that they have left the country? and if so, do you think that they'll do it with the telephones consent? i think the united states will, as it has openly promised,

in the voice of its president, continue to stand missiles into homes and cars and public squares of blowing up human beings. and even if they're 8 years old, it will tell us that they are leading extremist terrorist, evil doers of whether or not they will be members of isis k. i couldn't tell you, chances are low. but this is the understanding when all of the newspapers headline, they are in the war in u. s. political speak ending a war means withdrawing troops from the ground. it means nothing about ceasing to send the missiles and bombs right now, briefly do you think that i'm going to stand will still become a breeding ground for terrorist as some fear it has or in the past or continue to do so in the future, they spent 20 years generating terrorism with a counterproductive ridiculous war on terrorism that has taken people from

a couple of caves in afghanistan and generated organizations of anti us terrorists across north africa and asia. and now i'm supposed to be afraid that your original will return because the taliban is back in power in f janice, then the whole thing is, is insultingly ridiculous in my humble opinion. all right and briefly again, 90 us generals have demanded the resignation of pentagon officials. what consequences do you think this will have within the military? i don't know. i would like to think that the consequences would include consideration of the past 20 years, not just the past 2 weeks, but i do think it's time we stopped firing missiles and started firing generals that somebody ought to be held accountable. even if the most significant actors in this criminal enterprise are very unlikely to be all right, and after 20 years, do you think that us is officially left half demons down,

which is now in the hands of tell about, i mean, i guess the question on many people's lives is what was the point of it all? well, the initial point, of course, was to get a war started in iraq, which tony blair wouldn't do if you wouldn't attack afghanistan. first, the point of keeping it going and escalating it so dramatically when barack obama came into office was to oppose the war in iraq without opposing all wars by finding a good war to support the city, the long list of other reasons. i have been just as absurd slash criminal and we all know the weapons dealers made out like bandits. we know that there was, there was the interest in having basis happening, weapons having access to resources. most of those, most of those endeavors failed. but the mission of getting rich off endless war until it had the end was extremely successful for certain people,

even while doing great damage, even to the economy of the united states. all right, thank you very for your thoughts. david swanson, executive director of the world beyond war movement. thanks for being with us here on our international. i was interesting to hear thoughts. thank you. all right, now, thursday the suicide bombing in a couple. it claimed the lives of 13 american troops. the 1st depths of us personnel in afghanistan in 18 months now is also one of the highest daily deaf tolls of us troops. in a decade, the bodies of those soldiers were transferred back home on sunday to dover air force base among those paying their respects was the president joe biden. however, when later quizzed by the press about the crisis, he refused to answer, sparking outrage on line. take any questions or go ahead and scan it, and i'm not going to give

this man runs at the mention of being held accountable until the issues that he beg responsibility for joe. no questions biden biden has no clue what's going on. he won't answer any questions on up gadson 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? 10 of the dead were from the camp pendleton, military base in california. dozens of people have been laying flowers at the entrance to that side. the dead comprised of 9 marines and a sailor. most of them in their early twenties. those paying their respects are demanding answers. government let them down. the leaders as you feel this 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 it. so yeah, it's heartbreaking. there's not enough words to express, you know how i feel right now, but i just, you know, i feel that somebody has blood on there and then it's just, so i need it so unnecessary. you know, us marine officer has been dismissed after accusing the government of boxing, the chemistry withdraw. speaking in the wake of the cobble airport bombing stewart sheller posted a video on social media that went viral. let's take a listen. reason. people are so upset on social media right now is not because the marine on the battlefield. let someone down. people are upset because they're senior leaders, let them down. and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we mess 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, the thing when raise their hands and we completely mess this up. just hours after posting that clip, lieutenant colonel sheller said that he had been relieved of duty 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 thing. he's also resigning his commission, adding, i have forfeited my retirement all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar. heard from a former marine corps of intelligence officer, scott ritter, he thinks that someone needs to be held accountable. so lessons learned. first of all, 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 this take. so on this point,

other 10 occur sheller. is 100 percent correct? i take umbrage it away. he got his message across. he was a really relief for cars 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 his senior leadership to 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 chaos and anarchy. we wouldn't have the will discipline military that we, that we need if we're going to actually, you know, maintain, or the national security states or the russian diplomatic mission in cobble is one of the few that decided to remain in the country despite the taliban is returned to power r t has been in regular contact with the embassy since the city fell into the milton

group. ambassador shared his view on the current situation, following the unrest 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 to 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 a real objective picture. we understood how the situation was developing and who we were dealing with after 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 johnny 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. we return now to a topic archie feels deserves more attention. in the latest of a series of reports, we're looking at how the prison system is being abused by some transgender convicts to allow them access to female inmates. and growing number of women say that their lives have been turned to a living. hell, so we will leave you. now with today's report in which my colleagues oscar taylor

spoke to one female convict from california about her traumatic experience. oh, in this time with focusing on the case of to me care john sutton, the mother and former highway patrol officer is solving 15 years for killing her abusive husband. he was fatally shot while attacking her. the pair had struggled with the gun to meet, has been incarcerated in the central california women's facility since her convictions 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 mine is higher will be,

he was very violent. he was very vulgar. he was at high and not screaming at all, because, 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 was the way we would use the restroom. he was made by the door to make sure that if you were doing number 2 actually 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, then she was great. something to see was her friend. she'll make you go back and clean the reform the way he spoke. the reference point pricing was a forward we have for that sometimes leaking, whack are for here i would have to get all my have a knee, literally what

a bottle of windex and kyle and clean the floor to me. you know, different stand when i was at home, living in the situation is transgender had a girlfriend. that was actually my phone to me. he would you don't 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 lockers and it would be sometimes over. it will be, she didn't want to be romantic 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 to be without. wow, what was going on? oh we, i was told later on by a foreign to that because of my former career, i was actually placing that sale with that me on partly like it was

a joke. i used to be a police officer. so there were a certain amount of b o n mattie 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 old g p t friendly states at the start of this year, local authorities passed a controversial bill. but let's trans inmates request 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. they have a lot of, or they have a lot of reach. they have a lot of political power. they may go to a lot of campaigns. a lot of it is off the stripping people who want to maintain certain offices into the scenes or have the operations to move up. they are pretty confused support because they need support. i think that there are some good people out there who want to see everybody become face or 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 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 of prison inmate who wished to remain anonymous. and that just she was sexually assaulted by a transgender soulmate who had previously been put behind, falls as a man to facts, offences against women. been in prison with mail, prisoners, he 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 am 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 suffer fear and acute anxiety if required to ship prison accommodation and facilitate with the tongues into a 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.
