and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion they have paper, well, they have no bitcoin. as a matter of fact, they shut their bitcoin mining down. not sense they burg, their treasure of late 500 years ago under the main dynasty has a country made such a boneheaded and stupid mistake. the deserted airport and abandoned craft and military vehicles all symbolic because america's hasty departure from afghanistan leaving the country in the hands of the very taliban regime. the washington promised to overthrow 20 years before despite the chaos, the casualties and growing calls for the us defense secretary to quit. the biden administration continues to praise the outcome of americans longest as foreign

nations raised to get the last of the people out of cobbled hundreds about the guns they once employed have been left without protection. a former interpreter who worked for the british embassy tells us the case, betrayed its local stuff, and it is a bit rude. i will put them in a very good way. i had more than make up your car. i use them tuesday afternoon at 2 in moscow. my name is colleen bray. welcome to world news from anti international afghanistan's entering a new phase in its history. but under the same old taliban rule, the very same regime, those in charge 20 years ago. the last u. s. military flight took off from cobble airport on monday night, bringing to an end america's longest war. here's some daytime pictures showing a virtually deserted to cobble apples. the taliban now has full control over the
7:02 am
key transport hub. didn't seem chaotic and deadly seen since the medicine swept back to power across afghan. it's down now. all is apparently quiet. i'll senior correspondent rod gazda reports from cobbler in the 1st hours without us troops. that very is something of a sense of relief here. and that sense of relief isn't because the americans have gone not that relief is being felt by diplomats, but by civilians here. and that is the new, more incidents took place. as the evacuation was wrapping up at capital airport, the taliban went into the airport proper. merely minutes, minutes after midnight, minutes off the american troops. the last american troops ad campbell airport. and then i've got his thoughts had taken off and off to for hours and hours we heard the rule of god and fly machine gun we. we thought we'd had even had
7:03 am
a large caliber far from all directions in the city. that was the taliban celebrating laboratory godfather, they are now in control of the airport. they went in, they inspected the place, allegedly, they're now in possession of even more aircraft left behind by the afghan military left behind by the united states and its allies. though, from what we've heard, many of the, the jets, the aircraft at the airport. we're may dysfunctional so, so they were purposefully destroyed tag go tangled with by evacuating american troops. nevertheless, the taliban is celebrating and they held a ceremony at the airport saying that now we finally won hungary love, but i must get by the way. thank god. first of all, i would like to say that again, son is finally in every sense, free and independent, and our forces are control and the military and civilian parts of the airport.
7:04 am
normal activity of the airport will start both in the civilian units as real as the meals are unit, very soon. all of capital completely uncontested, they are a control of most of the i've gotten is thought there is only one province that is still holding out against the taliban. though even that even that is surrounded as for the evacuation, what the united states has been said, well, aside from them, praising almost the title by saying that they were helpful and useful and holding a firm perimeter around the airport, the united states sees this evacuation. what happened here as a success? 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. imagine that we will continue our relentless efforts to help americans foreign nationals and afghans leave afghanistan. if they choose. we
7:05 am
worked in pencils to evacuate and relocate afghans. work alongside us and our particular risk of reprisals. we've gotten many out, but many are still there from the perspective of a humanitarian point of view. it is arguable that this was the success that, that trumping it to be. because so many people, hundreds of american citizens, the load never mind. you are a p and citizen. just yesterday we met people who had british possible to have australian passports. and that was just a small number of people that the, that we met. and they've all been left behind, they were unable and even if, if they were able to get to the airport, they weren't allowed inside either by the time about or by the troops. then the nato troops there who wouldn't let that mean, despite them showing papers and passports, they wouldn't let them in until they had prior approval forms and flips of paper,
7:06 am
as we heard from some people. so. so definitely many people have been left behind, desperate people who, who believe there is a real threat to their lives, to the security and safety of their families. and there is, it is absolutely clear. there is no idea among them how to get out the out of the country. what the future holds, whether the taliban will abide by its promise of amnesty. the taliban itself is said that yes, these people will be allowed to leave and molested the taliban of the obviously once international recognition. and that recognition will only come if they are now in a civilized manner if they allow people to leave. nevertheless, only time will tell if these people will be able to get out of i've got to start with a bite and team still painting the outcome of the 20 here mission is a success through 90, retired us generals and admirals, demanding that the defense secretary and joint chiefs of staff stepped down over the chaotic withdrawal. they've called it
7:07 am
a reputational disaster and stretch that it would inevitably fracture trust in the u. s. among its allies. 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 animal to national agreement or operation. trust in the united states is irreparably damaged. it's not just for tired, top brass or speaking out, some acting service personnel are also voicing their anger and a paid a price for it to $1.00 senior us marines being dismissed for accusing the government of botching the afghanistan. pull out a speaking in the wake of the cobble apple bombing, stewart shell 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 are upset because they're senior leaders, let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we
7:08 am
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 bob graham airfield strategic or various 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. just that was after posting that clip left tenant, colonel shell said he had been relieved of duty over a lack of trust and confidence in his ability to come out. however, it did get an outpouring of support online and on sunday he posted another video saying he's also resigning his commission, adding i forfeited my retirements, all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar. or we also heard from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who thinks that someone needs to be held accountable. so that lessons 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
7:09 am
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, illusion occur sheller is 100 percent correct? i take umbrage it 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 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 energy. we wouldn't have that will discipline military that we, that we need if we're going to actually, you know, maintain, or the national security states. meanwhile,
7:10 am
republicans are calling for joe biden to resign or face impeachment over his handling of the afghanistan pull out party members. say the president failed in his job, that hundreds of americans and allies behind. i made the world less safe because of his decision. he's look at how biting himself reacted to the afghan crisis along the way. the mission to degrade the chairs tread about kind in afghanistan and kilo some been lot and 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. we accomplish that objective. take any questions or go ahead and get us and i'm not going to give you that
7:11 am
jared 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, 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
7:12 am
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 that if, 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. up the seizing power, the taliban announced a general amnesty enough. got us down for all citizens, including officials who worked under the previous government, but with reports 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 british embassy and cobbled during the 20 year campaign. he asked us to keep his name and location secret, rehab a lot of government because there's a powerful government. we never thought of. we will in the situation when be for us,
7:13 am
i don't know why they did like white and without protection, without any most. when we come back, i don't have an issue. i mean, i'm keep changing way my place. we went from the scheme on the books government and i went to the airport, but we couldn't even tell because their talk and they were feeding people like saying if i'm thinking doing an action before that to me it also holds me immune approval. but we just even will not see the i think i try money, parents call them even the the they have to show another when i was
7:14 am
getting the response. i lost everything with the hope of the be i will, i will. 5 from of taliban now surrounded cobble for the only covered or out of the country with extra gods. after an asterix bombing which killed at least a $170.00 applause toll through the crowd and bodies with thrown into a nearby open sewer. people have been gathering at the airport for days, trying to flee the taliban return form interpreter again. talk to us about the blasts and accuses the british government of betraying the local staff from one him, one kilometer away. you can smell the blood of the last minute that i saw by my own eyes. the body i saw there devoid is my way. i'm going to bid. and you couldn't, i couldn't even walk with another voice inside the water. i'm not, i don't know on the wall. so i a very good of interest in also that it wouldn't be glued then. there were no food in. so do i did inform you can be,
7:15 am
i didn't inform you. ok about it before these things happen. but they do that after they accept the time was too late for it hasn't been raised. i will for them in a very good way. i had been more than like, ever since the 1st day when the from the clear, you know, we would not we will not on those people who will be post not handing over government options, but i don't think i may be missing house. the thought going to fight my house and they are going to tell me all i can do the trying to survive. but monday will be will be of the i know the like i'm not on only know who your car. we don't know if they help us. we believe that the other one will be most that's why they're not
7:16 am
even be are not even talking with the there are many similar stories to meantime. no british foreign secretary dominic rob says no one knows the exact number of u. k. residents still in afghanistan, but he put the number in the low hundreds during a recent interview. it comes with faces growing anger over the handling of the british evacuation from the country. look, of course we, we lament the fact that anyone would be left behind. i know that the number of u. k. nationals, the particular responsibility of the foreign office is now down at a very low level specific, well, low hundreds given that we've taken in total $5000.00 out. and most of those are difficult cases where it's not clear around the eligibility because they're undocumented kayla to london. now our correspondent, shoddy edwards dashed a. it's not exactly been his best month. has it showed you what exactly is being said? well, believe it or not dominate. rob then went on to say that no other department in the
7:17 am
united kingdom has handled the crisis in austin east on any better than the foreign office. of course, the very department that he is in charge of now that has raised numerous consent and raised many eyebrows among many colleagues in the hall of westminster of closed, dominic ross has been long embroiled over the last few weeks in many controversial issues in the handling of the crisis in afghanistan because of course, when cobble fell to the taliban some 2 weeks ago, dominate, rob was nowhere to be seen. in fact, finally seen sunbathing abroad on holiday with his family. but not just that, allegedly, he declined many phone calls. he did not pick up the phone to his counterpart in afghanistan on pakistan, which has led to many people pointing many thing as of blame dominant rob for the foreign secretary to go. a wall during an international crisis of this magnitude is
7:18 am
nothing short of a shameful. i think it was amazing, staggering that the foreign secretary was still on holiday, while i canister was collapsing to the taliban. you've got to be on duty during that sort of period. where we're so deeply and intimately involved in it. we haven't heard from the foreign secretary and about a week despite this being the biggest single foreign policy disastrous in suez. so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking. while his handling of the crosses in afghanistan has really gone from bob to was in fact, who's now saying and advising that. anybody that still needs to leave ask on a stone, but probably be better off going to a neighboring country to try and return to safety here in the united kingdom. however, of course, i easier said than done considering the taliban operating border checkpoints and really is putting a lot of trust in the telephone to uphold that side of the deal. allowing any safe passage to anybody that wishes to leave. it does come,
7:19 am
of course of britain promised that all you k citizen though you k nationals on. indeed, all of those assisted in the occupation assisted the british army and the occupation of the last 18 years would be able to return to the united kingdom. however, the weeks and days then paused many ministers in parliament was saying, not everybody would be able to get out. now dominic rob, as we heard, is it missing? he has no idea how many british citizens still remain in afghanistan, but it's actually maintain the u. k. has done a good job and that people should stop attacking the u. k for its own as occupation process. anyone getting back passing briefings either at me or the foreign commonwealth and development office is frankly not credible. and it is deeply responsible. we have absolutely been on this and you can see we have been on this. why? because we have got 17000 people out. well,
7:20 am
it's not just the u. k. citizens that are in need of returning here to the united kingdom, but many, many afghans all, absolutely desperate to flee from the taliban takeover as well and have been e mailing the united kingdom, the foreign office trying to get some help. but what we're hearing now is a minister has admitted that emails from schools of people have not only not been replied to a process, but not even being read by many, many ministers here in westminster. meaning that many people are still stuck in the region and fearing for their lives without any sense that they will ever be able to get out. despite all of this, dominick rob the foreign secretary is still maintaining. they were real, a tangible gains from the 18 year occupation when colleagues all around him over the past few weeks have even been pushed to the point of floods, of kids in the house of commons, saying the absolute opposite to dominic rob. now he will indeed be stopped in
7:21 am
a foreign affair. select committee. that's an opportunity for many m p 's to really grill the foreign secretary off his handling of this crisis. no doubt, it really will be a grilling, indeed that tomorrow. but many people are really questioning how on the dominic rob is in this position still in this position, a crucial role, but at a critical time. so a lot of talking still to be done, but means a vain hope for those people left valid. ok in westminster. shoddy edwards dash the thank you. on to other news now, and the european union is recommending that the united states be removed from safe trouble lists over a surgeon cove in 1900 cases. meantime, the world health organization's morning about to decline and vaccine uptake. vaccination is a right, but also a responsibility. the stagnation and vaccine uptake in region is of serious concern . know that public health and social measures are be relaxed in many countries. the
7:22 am
public's vaccination acceptance is crucial if we are to avoid a greater transmission, more severe disease in caritas in debts and a bigger disc. that's new variance of concern will emerge. vaccine scepticism and science denial is holding us back from stabilizing this crisis. it serves no purpose and is good for no one a couple of a trouble. separate expert, more than 200000 people in europe could potentially die from covert unrelated health issues. by december, we face that the new school year will exacerbate things further, while the delta strains reported to have more serious outcomes. one lab here in russia is working on countering the virus altogether. me and 19 her new medication specifically developed for cove at 19 is going through
7:23 am
its 2nd phase of clinical trials and it's expected to be registered next month. egos donald has the details when russia registered the world's 1st vaccine for over 19 sputnik green. it was initially met with skepticism both abroad and at home phase were later put aside by well months of successful use all over the world and multiple publications in science journals. so now another institute aims another record, and that is registering the world's 1st effective medication. for coven, maintain the drug cooled mir 19 is still in the early stages of testing. it's almost part face to clinical trials, but has already managed to drastically reduce coven 19 levels and test subjects with the medication targets a certain parts of the sauce called to genome, which then undergo certain modifications and finally eliminated. so this medication effectively prevent this virus from replicating the pre clinical trials we carried
7:24 am
out. so that mid 19 decreases the viruses reproductive ability by 10000 times the drug is about to undergo the most critical part of it's testing on a large number of volunteers. the way 19 is supposed to be administered will be familiar to anybody who's suffering from asthma, for example, through an inhaler just like this one. because apparently it's the most effective way of targeting the virus company. this infection enters the body through the upper respiratory tract, so we have to block this gateway for the virus testing, prove that this method is more effective than others in tackling the virus. i'm told that the main challenge that scientists faced here was to make the drug target only the genetic material of the virus and not of the human host. also doesn't when developing a medication that is based on 2 components. it's important to make sure that one of them doesn't prevents human genome from functioning properly. on medication only blocks the viruses genome. we carried out
7:25 am
a thorough analysis that is proven the safety of the medication, which is the 1st stage of clinical trials. those are the poses no threat to healthy individuals. today, we are the 2nd stage of clinical trials, which involves people infected with covey. 19 our previous results be assured that it will not cause any side effects. we hope that ultimately it will be allowed for youth and people from all age groups, starting from the elderly to children. if mere 1900 proves, and safety and efficiency, it could be a game changing. and then the pandemic, and amid fears of another wave of infections looming, the medication is eagerly awaited not only here in russia, but japan and south korea have also apparently shown an interest in the drug makers done of reporting for the 1st infection by the delta vary and was reported in india about a year ago. it's now been detected in over a 130 countries. delta is highly contagious and can have a more serious outcome than other strains. the head of one moscow research center
7:26 am
describe the battle against the barrier here in russia, which a double cuckoo after the delta veterans emerged and essentially became the predominant one. and we had to look into his essence crate to vaccine against it. we will follow exactly the same party pursued when working on the job against the alpha stream. it will require various examinations, preclinical and clinical trials and so on. so now it's all unclear because could be 19 itself is a young navarez. it is changing all the time and we don't know when it's evolution . we'll finally solve it. we don't know whether we'll be dealing with one strain which will ultimately supercede the others with a number of strains. right now our task is to identify and examined the existing strain that we can use them in drugs. mean you might, i mean, as with the vaccine against the variance, the introduction of
7:27 am
a new one will take around a year. you should bear in mind that this timeframe is absolutely unconventional. and last time the process was accelerated due to some regulatory incentives. on the last time we prepared repulsive our performance and received 100 requests from abroad, seeking to produce our senses vaccine, notice covey vac, for this issue raises 2 problems. first of all, the world is also played by lack of production capacity. secondly, there is a global shortage of such equipment. so these are 2 major constraints. that's it from the newsroom for now. max and stacy are up next wondering what's really behind the world economic forum, encouraging people to reject toxic positivity the cause report to moments away here are naughty. the when i would chose the wrong. why don't,
7:28 am
i just don't rule out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the movies. that mark sounds good. i took mark your function, you got a good way to show me what to do done on the limit and i wanted them off. you're gonna
7:29 am
be back to do the work for me on the let me let me use the back. guys are this is the kaiser report. it's psychological warfare. world economic forum cutting to the core of americans. reason to be attacking our positivity, to direct attack on america by the world economic forum. the war is on, stacy. that's right. the world economic forum, those behind the great reset,
7:30 am
calling for the great reset, you know, they host the world economic farm, dabbles and diverse switzerland. and earlier this year, i guess, late last year we covered them saying that that the great reset was coming and we need a great reset while they're out now with warning against toxic positivity. yes, they want you to have fear, anger and sadness, apparently fear anger and sadness are natural emotions they say, and we should embrace them to learn more about mental health and how to help dot dot dot. they give a link. this is why psychologists are warning against toxic positivity you and i know this is fear uncertainty and doubt. they like to encourage that. just tune into the cable and lose my dears for some fear uncertainty and doubt. right. you know, before america.
