asterisk, suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can pills. so of all ills are trying to mitigate life itself. i just think i was like i was just scared, scared, little girl of 24. and like, didn't have to be so complicated. the celebratory gun fire rings out across cobble as america's 20, your presence. and i've got to stand comes to an end. the last us evacuation flight left the country in the early hours of the 31st deadline day one,

janice, and i'm not going to give you as president joe biden does, out of answering afghanistan related questions that are the bodies of the fallen us troops killed last week airport bomb attack and couple return home to strong veterans are looking for answers and let him down the mission at this point in time. and in the latest is our special investigation series. we continue to explore issues around gender, inmates being placed in women's prison, sometimes with dire consequences, and we'll be hearing of the trauma, one female convict allegedly went to ah,

the testing like the regular studios. and also this is our teacher national. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, the last us evacuation flight has taken off from cobble bringing america's 20 year presence enough kenneth stand to an end. the news was met with celebratory gunfire by the taliban in the african capital are senior correspondent, broad gods. you have was there as it happened? well there's, there's a lot of gunfire. these gun fire isn't. it isn't violent their value. there are no clashes and the capital 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 that yes, there was all sorts of cover at 3 says he, 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. it is 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, gotten to stop people with passports. we saw them today in capital city said in the hospital, the crowd packs around the airport. they were full of people with the visas, with, 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 those thousands, as i said, remaining, and i've got to start speaking shortly after the final evacuation slide had departed. us secretary of state anthony blinking praise did evacuation effort while acknowledging that many people are still stuck in afghanistan. this has 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 imaginable. we will continue our relentless efforts to help americans foreign nationals and atkins, leave afghanistan if they choose. we work intensively to evacuate and relocate and

work alongside us and our particular risk reprises. we've got many out but many are still there. meanwhile, 90 retired us generals and admirals have signed a letter demanding the defense secretary and joint chiefs of staff stepped down over the chaotic withdrawal. they say the consequences will last 4 decades. david swanson, executive director of the world beyond the war movement, believes america shouldn't have entered. i've got to stand in the 1st place. this has been a criminal enterprise and only secondarily, a failure since the amended it was launched, it needed to be ended from that minute to this. and it's finally, supposedly partially been ended as a ground war, if not as an air war. and the fact that it's been done in the, in the most chaotic incompetent manner with the most human suffering possible, is simply typical of the whole enterprise for 20 years. this is

a mass slaughter of human beings and destruction of property and infrastructure and natural environment. and degradation of the rule of law and cooperation around the world for 2 decades. and we're supposed to have long lasting repercussions from the bond gold way it was ended is something's wrong with attention spans. i think 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. 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 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 can cursed deadly terrorist attack broke out near cobble airport, as thousands tried to flee the country. almost 200 people were killed while another 200 were injured guy. she came. milton group has 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

and the wake of thursdays bombing in cobble. we spoke to a man who was just a meters away from the blast side. and he claimed it 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 had witnessed, 1st thing that hurt our eyes over. i was alert full of here 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, there 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 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 did 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 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 the walls. 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 marine advocate

at this point in time. since we're 48 hours, do you have any, 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 incident, we will. thursday suicide bombing in cobbled claimed the lives of 13 american troops. the 1st depths of us personnel, enough to stand in 18 month. it was also one of the highest daily death toll 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 us president joe biden. however, when later created 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 at the mention of being held accountable. and so 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? i tell of the dead were from the camp pendleton, military base in california. dozens of people have been laying flowers at the entrance to that site. that comprised of 9 marines and a sailor, most of them in their early twenties. those paying their respects are demanding answers. government let him down the leaders. so 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 it. so yeah, it's heartbreaking, kind of, 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 botching the afghanistan, withdraw speaking in the wake of the cobble airport bombing storage shell, or 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 berries before we evacuate everyone. did anyone do that? and when you didn't think to do that, the thing when raise their hands there we completely mess this up. i just hours after posting that quip lieutenant colonel sheller said he had been relieved of duty for cause based on lack of trust and confidence. however, he received an outpouring of support online and on sunday he posted another video saying he is also resigning his commission. adding, i have forfeited my retirement all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar. we heard from a former marine corps 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 can occur sheller is 100 percent. correct. i take umbrage it that way. he got his

message across. he was really relieved 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. while i sympathize with his position, he had no right to do this a while he wore 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 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 taliban returned to power . r t has been in regular contact with the embassy since the city fell to the militant group. the 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, 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 had 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 our t feels deserves more attention. in the latest of a series of reports, we are looking at how the prison system is being abused by some transgender convicts to allow them access to female inmates. growing number of women say that their lives have been turned into a living. hell. so we will leave you now with today's report in which my colleague,

softer taylor spoke to one female convict from california about her traumatic experience. oh, me. 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 pad struggled with the gun to meet your husband call 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 told 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 foger. 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 trying 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 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 think she's in the restroom. and if you didn't do it being like you want to do as far as cleanliness, the way he wanted you to do them, then he will bring something to you. he will confront you make you go back and clean the reform the way he spoke for reference to point pricing was the forward we have for that. sometimes we can wax our for here. i would have to get all my have

a knee, literally what a bottle the windex and the kyle and clean the floor to me, you know, different stand when i was at home living in the recent 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 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 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 mall 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 in positions or have admiration 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 place at 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 former 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'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 suffer fear and acute anxiety if required to ship prison accommodation and facilitate 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 stick to prevent trans women in prison from leaving indignity or to exclude old trans women from women's presence. however, i feel that trumps women have a history of violence and sexual offending against women. should not be in a situation where they can put our safety at risk. k. coleman from the heat prison, single sex campaign group, believes the current regulations are making a mockery of the segregated prison system to our surprise. and frankly, shock. the judges rule that this practice is lawful and that extends to housing, male prisoners with fully functioning male genitalia. i find that quite shocking, and if it is lawful to hold males, convicted of right alongside women have been subjected in their lives to serious sexual assault. then the law needs to change, we have

a law in the he k called the equality and 10 basically it's out and he discrimination law. however, we have in that law, single effects exceptions which provide the in certain situations where biological sex really matters is when we will know when that masses, it is not discriminatory to make those single sex for females only on to exclude all levels. and that includes mailed with the protected characteristics, gender reassignment, and those who have agenda recognition certificate. now, it seems that this provision is simply not being used. we found in recent months that appears not to apply to women's prisons. it appears not to apply to a female, was in an h s. hospitals. it appears not to apply to changing rooms and girls toilets in schools. so when does it apply?

i mean, this is an excellent question. when does it apply? and we're keeping a close eye on all the issues raised by this topic. and no doubt they'll be more to come. me. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have is crazy. plantation 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 at the very critical time. time to sit down and talk the is your media a reflection of reality?

the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation or community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere which direction? what is truth, watches in the world corrupted. you need to this end. the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah

ah, ah, me, ah, every image of the fallen soldiers returning home over the weekend as communities around the usa begin to honor their memories and plan for final ceremony. this is, families are planning for funerals and sharing stories about their loved ones with the world. lawmakers on capitol hill are demanding accountability and answers from the white house, as well as the pentagon, as to why this mission was so wrong. we're bringing the 360 view as the debate over how this administration has handled the situation is drawing political fire from both sides of the aisle. remembering the latest on guessing as
