1:02 am
ah a to one of the morning the sir tuesday most good time. the 31st of august. good morning. live from us. he's will. he's h q. moscow. it's kevin over here for the next half hour and a lot of coverages he heard the talking about. what's happening enough gun the stand the dawn of a new kind of reality. then the last us evacuation flights already taken off from cobble airport, ending the 20th presence of america and its nato allies. there. the news is met with celebratory gunfire by the taliban and the african capital senior correspondent, broadcast of witness the historic moment. well there's, there's a lot of gunfire. these gun fire isn't. it isn't violent there is that you, there are no clashes, and the capitol, the taliban, i celebrating it is everywhere. trace around. you may see them behind me flying
1:03 am
into the, into the air in their thousands. the taliban is celebrating victory after 19 years. 10 months and $25.00 days of the us boy. and i've got to start the last us soldiers left. us got to start. we heard tremendous air activity just before the announced, but we gathered that something big was going on as quickly emerged that, that yes, there was all sorts of cover at 3 says he, 17 cargo plates, one of them apparently a 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, nevertheless, the united states. leaves it in a sad state because many american citizens never mind. you are the citizens of us
1:04 am
allies, citizens of european states. they are still stuck in afghanistan, people with passports. we saw them today in capital city said in the hospital, the crowds packed around the airport. they were full of people with the visas, with, with passports desperate to get out of, of got us thought they haven't managed to make it. the taliban 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 flood, rescue the united states. the say the pentagon did say that the taliban, well, 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
1:05 am
. 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 stop him or guessed if there was vicki shortly after the final flight. so call us secretary state and the blanket praise the evacuation effort while acknowledging that many people were still stuck in afghanistan. this is did a massive military, diplomatic and mandatory 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 work intensely to evacuate and relocate and work alongside us and our particular risk reprice. we've gotten many out, but many are still there. the entire 90 retired us generals and admirals,
1:06 am
demanding the defense secretary and joint chiefs of staff step down over the chaotic withdrawal of called a disaster distrust the consequences will last for decades. the loss of billions of dollars in our advanced military equipment and supplies fall into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. the damage to the reputation of the united states is indescribable. we will be seen for many years as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. trust in the united states is it repairable damaged. it's just a retired top browser, the speaking out, some acting service minerals, a voice in there and get to and they've paid a price for doing it $1.00 senior us marine, and it's been dismissed after accusing the government a bought chick me, i've got to stand pull out speaking in the wake of the cobble airport, bombings to it's shallow posted a video on social media that went viral. reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the marine on the battlefield. let someone down. people
1:07 am
are upset because they're 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 berries before we evacuate? everyone? did anyone do that? and when you didn't think to do that, that anyone raise their hands, then we completely mess this up. just hours after posting my clip left tenant, colonel shallow said that he'd been relieved of duty over a lack of trust and confidence in his ability to command whoever received an outpouring a support online and on sunday, posted another video saying he's also resigning his commission though i think i forfeited my retirement all entitlements. i do not want a single dollar. we also had to from a former marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter and thinks that someone needs to be held accountable. so that lessons
1:08 am
can be 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, lieutenant colonel sheller is 100 percent correct. i take umbrage it away. 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 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, to be critically outside of the chain of command about policies. they disagree with, or else we'd have chaos and energy. we wouldn't have the will discipline military
1:09 am
that we, that we need if we're going to actually, you know, maintain our, the national security states. mean, tell them the political side of this republicans now calling for joe biden to resign or be and page over his handling of the afghanistan polar party members say the president failed at his job. left hundreds of americans now lives behind a made the world less safe because of his decision. next than his look at how biden himself reacted about the gun crisis. the permission to degrade the chairs tread about kind enough canister. in kilo some of the lot was a success, i believed that our presence in that gas van should be focused on. the reason we went in the 1st place to ensure afghans that would not be used as a base from which to attack our homeland again. we did that,
1:10 am
we accomplish that objective and i suppose taking the questions. we'll go ahead janice and i'm not going to get in jared, a deal. the president trump negotiated with italy was never a good time to withdraw us forces. if he succeeds in getting americans to walk through the 5 stages of grief, you know, we've seen him expressed the denial, the pounding of the fish. there's, there's an anger, a walking away from the podium when he's asked questions about afghanistan. there's a negotiation. well, maybe it can be not that bad. well, we'll see where we go with policy. there's, there's a depression,
1:11 am
and right now it's less walk the american people over through the end of the process to acceptance. he also said terrorism as metastasized, and there's this excuse with the global war on terror to send more troops to more countries. so i don't think this is over because biden is doing his job as an actor is getting that emotional by. and i am very afraid if biting successfully walks americans through this emotional process, he is going to be able to suck us in. do a sustain global war on terror that could last another decade. so as you mentioned, after seizing power, the taliban announced a general amnesty and i've got to stand for all citizens, including officials who worked under the previous government. but the report is growing of taliban reprisals. anyone with links to foreign forces may well be in danger. we spoke to a former interpreter who worked for the u. k embassy in kabul during the 20
1:12 am
a campaign house to keep his name and location secret. we had a lot of freedom to go with because as the government we never thought of, we will innocent wouldn't be where they don't know. why did it look like white and without protection? without it, it's almost when we come back, i don't have any show. i'm a keep changing way, my place we had went from the scheme of the government and i went to the airport. they give that location. we have a didn't have the past or we how me try or 34 nights or these we were at the road behind the airport. but we couldn't even touch it because it was there and they were feeding people.
1:13 am
like thing i'm thinking going on are some of the ridiculous to me by piece as i did, but also in the envelope. but what should i do with this? amy will not help me with anything. it will not. for me, they just send me i'm of the same but didn't thought of that house. if i am, if i am totally out of a beat and very bad, i beat in the my wife and me. we had a luggage lag. was it thrown away by them? oh, i think i hope i tried money, parents call them even then i'd have to show another when i know what to do, but that they're not getting over the response. i believe that was that a good reason for their work with they haven't read them with
1:14 am
a permission over the course, but for hours it was kind of 10 and you just end up in 3 for the i lost everything with the hope of the the i will i will buy from and other developments taliban surrounded the corridor all out of the country cobble airport. busy with extra guards. now after that bombing the last week, the claim, the life of at least $170.00 plus talk through the crowd, forties were thrown into a nearby open sewer. people have been gathering at the airport courses we reported for days trying to flee the tele buttons, return. that former interpreter that we just heard again, telling us a bit more about the plaster airport and also saying the u. k. government had betrayed in his view. the local stuff from one aim. when can you you can smell the blood. that's when i saw by my own eyes. the body
1:15 am
i saw there devoid is my way. i'm going to build and you couldn't even walk. there was a note of what is inside. there was a note of what was that the i get off in terms of that it wouldn't be moving forward. there was move forward and i did inform the u. k. about before but after the accident that i was too late for it is a bit rate. i don't want them in a very good way. i have been awarded. my conference is the 1st they do in the clear, you know, we will, we will not lose people papers not 100 over but the 2nd person house, if you start going to find my house and they will go to me. all i can do the
1:16 am
right to survive on the bill. bill any more on all my night? we are cars. we're gonna burn to know if they help us believe that it will kill the most. that's why they look. even they're not using talking with us. army one is ready to help us one night to give up. and then the other thing because i have the meals last week. so sub cobble airports highlighted once again the, the severe danger posed by islamic state despite the loss of the so called color for 4 years ago. next r t wouldn't to me to russian terror suspects who claims he was tricked into fighting for i still in syria by the british secret service. in an interview with a correspondent trunk summit,
1:17 am
a vessel made some damning allegations against the u. k. government the we set off for russia's once troubled southern region cold. doug, it's done now most the famous in the west for being the homeland of mixed martial arts, stark hobbies, little montgomery of them. we've managed to get access from the authorities to someone who used to fight right on the islamic state frontline in theory, a shoulder to shoulder with jihad. and is claimed to have been the only fighter in his group to survive an enemy air strike. ah, the dog is on the biggest free trial detention center behind my shoulder. many suspected tear it. a lot of them were eventually convicted, went through this massive facility in march. go on, who's the interview we were looking for? appeared very promising to us. after all the temple from law enforcement was,
1:18 am
he's ready and willing to talk we've been given permission to talk to the terrorist suspects inside the detention center. so we're waiting or hard chance to hear his story. plus, we don't already found out the man had spent a while inside rock of syria, formerly the so called capital of high school. and he don't call a city that for nothing. the a doing my job. and they told us how to hold the sword and how to shop on the
1:19 am
market when was told like animal. but that's how people are treated. so 6 years ago he was in rocca in august 2021. he was awaiting trial on several terrorism charges as a month i vazo $33.00 born in doug. it's done some of what you're about to hear me . sounds like typical words of excuse, from a fighter looking for a softer punishment. like he's playing the victim hard to say is that what are you just going to be removed, but he'd probably be surprised to know that as
1:20 am
a man wasn't talking about those who recruited him to join iso or above the commanders that had been giving out orders in syria, in a voice of despair, he was accusing u. k. citizens of betrayal, claiming it was british intelligence operatives that had completely ruined his life . we cannot properly verify as a mad story or make any conclusions, even though he did provide the russian police with some evidence of his claims and even showed us elements of it. but definitely his version of events at least, deserves attention. so almost 10 years ago, a lot of this is 1st of all and indeed says as a man, he, his wife and kids were happy with their new lives in the u. k. with their new home
1:21 am
and the city of lester, with new job opportunities all until the family went to visit their relatives in germany. which coincided with an absolutely dreadful act of terrorism in paris. simple. now surely handle a business man, a little chicken. please give us a little dog. ready george, he claims that those who interrogated and searched him introduce themselves as members of the u. k. intelligence service weeks later, he says, he began receiving phone calls from the same people who then insisted that they should meet fear in potential trouble for his family. as a man agreed to meet for conversation at a local police station, this he says he seek would be recorded on his phone and said, don line,
1:22 am
we pay people for the time to do things off. is that something that you've ever considered for was trying to identify problems within the community? is somebody going in and challenging or trying to speak to your members was full brain tree me. you've just heard it right. if the recording is authentic, it proves his claims. but the operatives, he says he'd already seen at the airport, asked him to spine on muslims in lester mosques, according to, as i'm at the offer, came after the men fried to build trust in a lengthy frenzy chair. but he told them he'd much rather stay away from such dealing. the phone calls, however, didn't, and there, at the next meeting came a much more serious proposal. as a match says, he was asked to go going islamic state stronghold and syria and spy for the and
1:23 am
unfortunately, as a mat says, he was not able to record that conversation. so this is, this is, this is miss watson to you. what it is, it that you forget. so let me just look into mr. family as a matter points out, he was promised that he wouldn't have to fight for so and so risk is why? because he to be a trainee. upon arrival. he also says one of the conditions was that he'd be evacuated home after 3 months of spine, the big reward, and also the alleged persistence of the intelligence for tutors made as a man agreed to become a british spine. he firmly maintains, that was the reason he ended up on the side care was to syria. the reality on the
1:24 am
ground shocked him, according to as a man soon after joining vigil hottest. he was forced to take part in. i saw military ops which appeared to be doomed from the onset salute by the g. y close to my whole chain. if i usual, i mean to just do it of somebody. let us know me by josh. at the most of the show us, which he claimed, he continued to be called up permissions. and when he wanted to get in touch with his supervisor in the cake to complain, they disappeared from messengers. as a mat says, he felt completely abandoned. just take them off and so on one of the armed ops,
1:25 am
he allegedly never wanted to be part of as a man was head and for the injured in a drone strike. he says he was the only survivor in his group. in my new my new system. so interesting national social initiatives and having lost all hope for help from the u. k. as a met says he spent months trying to escape syria while barely being able to walk. although initially he says he was preparing for his inevitable death. yes. well, i don't mean to get as
1:26 am
much says it's a miracle that he eventually began to recover and did find his way out of syria on his own. the think documents which 1st help them reach the later became the cause of his arrest there and further deportation to russia. he says, where he ended up is absolutely his own fault. but at this point he wouldn't mind looking into the eyes of the brit swore legit be scared him with their persistence dragged him into the worst nightmare of his life and supposedly fooled him in a disgraceful manner. so this was the same with miss jamie. i'm only on the watch reading the stream, but also i knew i knew you said that i'd appreciate it when you have a little sense of it are still the
1:27 am
we have come all the way to as a month's home town about 40 kilometers away from the regions capital, that's after getting in touch with his mother, who still lives here. but for years she was completely unaware of the fate of her son lose. the excess. we were welcomed by a decent, educated and hospitable family. surely it's only natural that as a matter mother, not be such believed her son's story. no. yeah,
1:28 am
i need to know the goodness that it was there. belinda should then him good because you only show up at the shoot at the show, but i'm still unable to provide you with the nimble shabani. somewhat unusual and unusual with on brucely group or governor or push in a mass on bill to those one. yet the all new will go to them over the phone you vision for. so she was cousin tuck, young, gloomy girl, who of that sort of militia. and which he only more than you, but almost able much us to say will. so now on the some, i don't know what you only watch number when the, which is not, you know, difficult of course not be sought, says she can understand how the big some allegedly offered by the british intelligence could have tempted her son, a young bread winner for the family,
1:29 am
but still she firmly believes that as a man fill victim to psychological, take me, if not outright pressure. when agreeing to take the job. she has an emotional message for someone that she's never seen or known. but who is claimed to have recruited her son, that cookie was leveled now over by the really processing need, jody. you but you are the just keep but almost all the food and i didn't you guys did to move to the list of what you are supposed to be on. come, we will not usually we will to the pride in a bottom of the leave with them when the car was lit the what was you to yeah, of cover to him. so we need to on you for the also in the with the key. so blogs, and i would think, you know, i've shown you start on that so far, our request for comment on all the allegations in as a med story has been ignored by you gaze my 6. this is where my life began.
1:30 am
but the twists and turns of his fate, let him back to digest in, and he will have to bear the responsibility for all the decisions he made. however, all he and his family want right now is for him to be able to go on with his wife without syria. i so, or you case, intelligent news . drink o r t rushes republic of douglas stone. and that's the way things look in. so fathers, tuesday morning and from moscow enough canister, you can find it all about the of the stores we're talking about state dot com or close enable social's 30 minutes policy day goes good for me, kevin. over to the team. thank you for watching t international. oh
