the final days of the us military presence. the biden administration continues to praise the outcome of america's longest war foreign powers, race together, loft of the people out of cobble hundreds of afghans as they once employed have been left without protection. a former interpreter who work for the british embassy tells us that the case betrayed its local stuff. it is a bit. i will put them in a very good way. i had been more than my capacity to your car. i hello, good, happy with a tuesday evening at 7, a re moscow williams called him bryan. this is your world news this out. i've got to stand then in the last day of august, entering a new phase in its history. but under the same old taliban rule, the same regime that was in charge 20 years ago, the last us military flight took off from cobble airport on monday. nice bringing
12:02 pm
to an end americas longest. wal oh, he remembers to the taliban inside the airport. some appear. well equipped in what may be u. s. military gave just a small part of the trophies, guarded from american troops during the steve retreat, abandon helicopters can also be seen inside the hang is that the taliban now have full control over the countries key transport hub. it's witnessed chaotic and deadly seen since the medicine swept back to power across afghanistan. and now off the 2 decades of a us military presence, the groups issued a very clear warning marble. how y'all was going to have a message to any possible invader. but anyone who looks to get this done with bad intention, they will face what the united states has face today. there is something of a sense of relief here. and that sense of relief isn't because the americans have
12:03 pm
gotten that that relief is being felt by diplomats but by civilians here. and that is that no 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 at campbell airport and then i've got his thought had taken off and off to for hours and hours we heard the rule of god and fire machine gun. we, we, we thought we had even had 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 ass, gotten military left behind by the united states and its allies. though,
12:04 pm
from what we've heard. many of the, the jets, the aircraft at the airport were made dysfunctional so, so they were purposefully destroyed tide. go tangled with by evacuating american troops. nevertheless, the tyler, but he's celebrating and they held a ceremony at the airport saying that now we finally won. hungary love you by the way. thank god. first of all, i'd like to say that the gun son is finally in every sense, free and independent. and our forces are controlled the military and civilian parts of the airport. the normal activity of the airport will start both in the civilian unit as rules, the military unit. as soon as the help all of capital completely uncontested, they are in control of most of, of gotten install. there is only one province that is still holding out against the taliban. the even that even that is surrounded as for the evacuation, what the united states has been saying. well, aside from them,
12:05 pm
praising almost the time about 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 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 reprice. 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 to be because so many people, hundreds of american citizens alone,
12:06 pm
never mind european citizens. just yesterday we met people who had british possible to have australian passports. and that was just a small number of people 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 title or by the troops. then the nato troops there who wouldn't let them in the spot them showing papers and passports they wouldn't let them in until they had prior approval forms and flips of paper as we heard from some people. so. so definitely many people have been 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 the promise of amnesty. the taliban itself has
12:07 pm
said that yes, these people will be allowed to leave and molested the taliban of the obviously once into the actual recognition. and that recognition will only come if they act 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 the biden teens still painting the outcome of the 20 year mission. as a success. there are 90, retired us generals and admirals, demanding the defense secretary and joint chiefs of staff stepped down over the chaotic withdrawal. they called it a reputational disaster and stressed it would fracture trust in the united states 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 any multinational agreement or operation.
12:08 pm
trust in the united states is irreparably damaged. but it's not just for tied top broth or was speaking out some acting service personnel, or also voicing their anger and a paid a price for it to $1.00 senior us marines been dismissed after accusing the government of botching the afghanistan. pullout speaking in the wake of the cobble app or bombing stewart shell opposed to the 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 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, will you rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham 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. or just that was off the posting that clip left kind of
12:09 pm
colonel shallow said he had been relieved of duty over a lack of trust and confidence in his ability to command. however, he did get an outpouring of support online. on sunday, he posted another video saying he's also resigning his commission, adding i forfeited my retirement all entitlements. i don't want a single dollar or we also had 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 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 to the way he got his message across. he was a 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
12:10 pm
is senior leadership. while i sympathize with his position, he had no right to do this 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, an 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. meanwhile, republicans are calling for joe biden to resign whole face impeachment over his handling of the afghanistan polis party meant to say the president failed at his job, left hundreds of americans and allies behind, and made the world less safe because of his decision. look next to the how biden himself reacted to the african crisis along the way
12:11 pm
the emission to degrade the chairs tread about kind in afghanistan in kilo some been lot and was a success. i believed that our presence that gas van should be focused on the reason we went in the 1st place to ensure afghan a stand would not be used as a base from one to attack our homeland again. we did that. we accomplish that objective force, take any questions or go ahead and ask alice and i'm not going to forget you jared deal. the president trump negotiated with italy was never a good time to withdraw us forces.
12:12 pm
if he succeeds in getting americans to walk through the 5 stages of grief, you know, we've seen him express 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 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,
12:13 pm
he is going to be able to suck us in. do a sustain global war on terror. they could last another decade. after seizing power, the taliban announced the general amnesty and african, it's done 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. right now. we spoke to a former interpreter who worked for the british embassy and cobbled during the 20 year campaign. he asked that his name and location be kept secret. we have a lot of government because there's a powerful government. we never know that we will in the situation when big brother, i don't know why they did was like white and without protection. without it, it's almost when we come back, i don't have an issue. i mean, i'm keep changing my, my place, we had a moment from the scheme on the government and of the people to
12:14 pm
the airport. but we couldn't even touch it because there, how can they were feeding people like saying if i'm thinking, doing an action before that mean by a piece, but also making him an approval with this even though i think i how i tried money. parents call them even the one another when i know what to do, but they are not getting the response. i lost everything with the hope of the the i will, i will. bye. the taliban is now deployed. extra guards are bound cobble airports. the only corridor out of the country after last week bombing, which killed at least a 170 suppliers, tall through a crowd throwing bodies into a nearby open sewer. people have been gathering up the apple for days trying to
12:15 pm
flee the taliban to return that former interpreter again, talk to us about the blast and accuses the british government of betraying the local staff. from one aim, one kilometer away. you can smell the blood to me 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 a lot of what is inside the water. i'm not on the wall. so i a very good in terms of the and also wouldn't be glued in there was no for him to do. i did inform you can be informed. okay. about before the things happens, but they do that after that the time was too late for the it hasn't been res. i work for them in a very good way. i haven't been more than like,
12:16 pm
ever since the 1st day when the from the clear, you know, we will not on those people who with the phone and be post it will not handing over the government options. but i don't think i may be missing. how's the thought going by my house and they are going to tell me all i can do the right to survive. but monday bill i know the on online we are cause we didn't know if they help us. we believe that the other one will be most that's why they're not even they're not even talking with us. while that's suicide bombing, a cobble airports highlighted once again, the severe danger posed by islamic state despite the loss of their so called caliphate 4 years ago. r t met the russian terror suspects who claims he was tricked into fighting for iceland in syria by the british secret service. in an

12:18 pm
the interview we were looking for? appeared very promising to us. after all the table from law enforcement was. he's ready and willing to talk we've been given permission to talk to the terror suspects inside the detention center. so we're waiting or hard chance to hear this story. plus, we don't already found out the man had spent a while inside rock up syria, formerly the so called capital of ice. any don't call a city that or nothing. the
12:19 pm
a doing my job. and they told us how to hold the sword and how to chop off the market. what's the like cannibal? 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 sound like typical words of excuse from a fighter. looking for a softer punishment. like he's playing the victim hard. vultures so you never know what i knew from or you're just going to
12:20 pm
be removed. it was the motion, but he'd probably be surprised to know that as a matter wasn't talking about those who recruited him to join. i saw 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 show almost 10 years ago. as well as
12:21 pm
1st of all and indeed says as amount he, his wife and kids were happy with their new lives in the u. k. with their new home 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 sheniece as the little chicken please give us a little dog and go 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 during the potential trouble for his family. as a man agreed to meet for a conversation at

12:23 pm
a much more serious proposal. as a match says, he was asked to go point islamic state stronghold and syria and spy for the and unfortunately, as a mat says, he was not a able to record that conversation. this issue is necessary to change the message that says that the phone. so let me check if 30 day mr. family as a matter points out, he was promised that he wouldn't have to fight for short. 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 recruiters

12:29 pm
intelligence could have tempted her son, a young bread winner for the family. but still, she firmly believes that as a man fell victim to psychological techniques, 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 has claimed to have recruited her son? that cookie was leveled not over, but the really processing need to you, but you already just get but almost all the food and i didn't cry as well, but the total switch or swash, i'm going to be on come. we will not usually we will to the probably a bottom of the leave with don't when you know it was live here to your you're covered. see him. so need to on you for the also in the, with the key. so blogs, and i think, you know, i've shown you to start on that so far,
