drugs took a try and shakes, told us that andrew was competing short for me. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly, they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening with the ah, extraordinary success. and this mission was due to the incredible skill, gravely and selfless courage, united states, military and our diplomats. and intelligence professionals, us president joe biden coles the mission in afghanistan, a success despite the cale from bloodshed during the final day of the us military

presence. he also claim, see that american effort 3 make other countries in this image a coming to an end foreign powers race to get the last there people who call her back again, one employee has been left with that protection. the former interpreted the word, the british embassy tells us the u. k. his portrayed, it's like stuff it is betrayed. it will put them in a very good way. i had been more than my card when a bonded know, i'm brittany, felt diplomatic. he doesn't know exactly the number of case citizens still left enough. ghana, stan studies the faces a backlash job were handling off the evacuation mission on the country. i i welcome you watching archie international now in end of an era remake king of the

country. that's how us president joe biden described the withdrawal from afghanistan while claiming that the mission there was a success kind of morphine as more details. while the long awaited speech from joe biden was significantly delayed, the press waited quite some time for joe biden to finally come out and deliver his remarks. and now the town of the speech was overwhelmingly a defensive y. one point he shouted about how the united states was facing a choice of leaving or escalating in afghanistan and how he made the choice to leave. interestingly enough, he did go on to then blame the afghan army and donald trump for the setbacks and the problems that have recently taken place. and there was a shift in some of the numbers, rather than saying that it was 6000 us personnel who were evacuated, the number was reduced to 5500. now he talked about how he did not want to make a forever war into a forever exit. and furthermore,

he talked about how the era of the united states using its military to remake countries and come to an end. now he said the only u. s. interest in afghanistan currently is making sure that afghan a stand does not become a base for terrorist attacks against the united states. and he said the united states would continue to make sure that afghan stan did not turn into that. and that was really the only interest the united states has in afghanistan. he basically said, as was said by general mackenzie, that the mission was going according to plan is comes at a time where we've seen that the withdrawal has at this point, cost $13.00 u. s. service person's lives as well as the lives of $170.00 afghan civilians. now the leaving date was august 31st, and joe biden says that america is reaching its goals. here's what he said. extraordinary success. and this mission was due to the incredible skill. bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomat and intelligence professionals. now,

it's also important to note the context of the speech biden is on the defensive because very much he has been viewed in a negative light. the situation where the remains of those 13 service personnel who were killed were delivered to the united states. well, family members that were not very happy with how joe biden interacted with them. i said, i swear to god if he checks his watch one more time, i couldn't look at him anymore after that, considering especially the time and why we were there. i found to be the most disrespectful thing i've ever seen. now at this point, we've got a number of republicans stepping up and calling for joe biden to resign, saying that he broke his promise to make sure that every american is brought safely home from afghanistan. but there are also a number of democratic voices that are also harshly critical of the white house and how it's handled things. the recreation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled. in order to move forward, we need answers and accountability regarding the cascade and failures that lead us

to this moment. our troops deserve nothing less than a complete and unvarnished truth. i think this is the timeline is less than what we have to do to get the us citizen and others out of the country. president biden withdrew from afghanistan before the deadline, abandoning american citizen, still on the ground, desperately needing evacuation. if biden refuses to resign, he must be impeached. this is an absolute disgrace. joe biden camera harris. anthony blank, and lloyd austin and general milly should all resign of face impeachment and removal from office. anger appears to be boiling within the military itself. there are 90 retired generals and admirals who have now stepped forward to demand that general milly, as well as secretary of defense austin, resign in results of in response to their actions in afghanistan. joe biden took his opportunity to day to step up and take credit for ending

a more than 20 year long military engagement by the united states and afghanistan. many are looking on at the manner in which the united states withdrew and the human cost and saying that this was basically handled pretty badly and the human losses that took place on all sides could have been avoided. a lot of voices stepping up and saying there was simply a lot of mismanagement here. joe biden took the floor today to defend himself and say that things are going to plan and things are being successful. okay, well let's get, the thought was now of an rice, a retired us army, colonel and diplomat. he reopened the u. s. embassy and cabal, back in 2000. and one you very well can. we appreciate your time tonight and joe biden earlier today said that the evacuation was an extraordinary success. she think he's right to describe it like that because we have seen those pictures of people falling to that death from plains and almost nearly 200 people killed in

a terror attack. well, those are tragic deaths that no one wanted. i think then the overall scheme of things have tried getting out over. i believe it's 120000 people. now. you know, 2 week period is quite remarkable. having been a part of us evacuations from other places. for example. see early on in the 1990 s i know how difficult to do and no matter when the evacuation is called and certainly in afghanistan it came about in a very strange way. and in fact, when apparently us intelligence and politicians were very surprised at the quick movement of the tall a bond into cobble which really precipitated then the need to go ahead and have that evacuation on kind of this for the moment should not admit at the very least there was some sort of intelligence failure given that he said that everybody was expecting the afghan government and the afghan forces to repel the taliban. but

clearly that didn't happen in any way, shape or form. sure, i think all of them ought to be admitting a lot of things. there are a lot of politicians and form of residents should. that should have been admitting that we should not have been in afghanistan for 20 years. and we should have gotten out long, long, long ago i'm, i'm totally for having removed our military forces and working with the african people on, on a non violent way to help their, their life hopefully in peace. what do you make of the prospects of those that have been left behind in afghanistan? joe bought and said, there's no deadline to get these people out. but of course we'll do everything we can to achieve that. but i mean, essentially what leverage does america have over the ton of a well, i think america and the band, the g 7 and no other countries, china, russia, india, pakistan, has a great deal of leverage on them with all

a bond is already said that they will allow the movement of people with the proper documentation out of afghanistan, and i would suspect within 24 hours, we're going to be seeing chart, or airline or charter flights coming in to cobble i think they'll quickly reestablish the the airport and there will be lots of charters that will be coming in and people will be paying a big prices to get out. and no doubt all a bond will take it, cut off the prices. the graph corruption that will go on to get people out is going to be substantial. but i think there are ways to get people out by air, and certainly by going to the borders of afghanistan, also the land borders. now one of the things that joe barton did touch on, and you mentioned a bit earlier, was the end to nation building. this idea that america was sending grand forces to other countries try and deliver some sort of democracy. he says that that isn't

going to happen again. but he actually sounded quite a lot like donald trump. i just pray you a clip and of what he said. he spoke in need an era of major military operations to re make other countries. i think the era nation building will be brought to a very i yeah, i suppose joe boyd and we'll get to credit for saying what he said, but the fact that he said it doesn't it effectively underlying the fact that the mission in afghanistan didn't work well we certainly have plenty of documentation that it did not work. we also have historical information about nation building, being the excuse for the u. s. military to stay in many, many countries. that is the way the politicians get the u. s. public to go ahead and say ok, let's leave our military and one more year because we are helping the women were

helping this reopen that. it's ok to go ahead and spend $300000000.00 a day. let's keep them in there because we're helping other people, when in fact, there are ways to help other people without us, military forces being involved in. how do you think americans should sort of continue now it's fight against terrorism because we've seen their eyes all this sort of suddenly we've seen the emergence of isis k in afghanistan. joe biden talks about fighting terrorism still around the world. i mean, in what way can we expect america to continue fighting terrorism if it's decided that you know what is done enough, understand is not the way forward. while we know also historically that anytime us forces are on the ground, that increases the amount of care expect to be in the country. and a lot of the terrorist activity ends up being killing civilians of that nation, as well as trying to go after us for clear the ability to help reduce

terrorist act extremist acts that are killing the people of other countries is not dependent on, on u. s. military actually being involved, there are other ways that, that strengthening local capability to go after their own countrymen who are saying that whatever is going on in their country is not to their liking. and they're willing to kill other people to get their point of view across the us. of course, if you want to say the military is the only way to do this, well the u. s. still has that capability with what the administration is falling over the horizon capabilities, a drones and other military aircraft that can go in and. and that's one part that i am very, very fearful of because we've just seen and hobble where us drone going after what they said was what they, they considered a terrorist in

a car filled with explosives. and then what we now see is that the car was in a compound and 9 people, 10 people were killed, 7 of them, children. we've yet to see any sort of drone footage. you know, every drone has a camera on it. so the military is already see what exactly happened and whether or not it was a secondary explosion. we've never seen the car that the u. s. military says that was our objective. it exploded and then these other cars and all these civilians died. i say, i think we'll continue to see that sort of action which is been going on for 20 years. and that's one of reason that there has been such a pushback against us military there. because 1000 thousands of afghans have been killed by us. drone strikes and not insurgents are not malicious, but just ordinary civilians. and really good to to she nice to get your thoughts on this tonight we're going to have to leave it. that was an rise. u. s. retired army

colonel and diplomat. to reopen the u. s. embassy in couple back in 2001 thanks for coming on. now, after seizing power, the taliban did announce a general amnesty in afghanistan for all citizens, including officials who worked on the the previous government report growing of taliban reprisals. anybody with links to foreign forces could well be in danger. we spoke to a former interpreter, he worked for the british embassy in cabal. during the 20 year campaign, he asked that his name and location be kept secret. we had a lot of freedom government because as a powerful government, we never thought of. we will in distribution when big for us, i don't know why did it like why without protection, without any almost one week or more than that. i don't have any show. i must keep changing way my place. we had went from the

scheme on the government and i went to the airport, but we couldn't even because it was there and they were feeding people like thing if i'm thinking i'm going and i some of the 1st be ridiculous to me by piece. as i did, but also hard me m approval. but what should i do this evening will not be the thing. i hope i tried money. parents call them even then they have to show 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 buy from the taliban, deployed ex regards, rank black port. the corridor out of the country off last week forming which killed

at least $170.00. that blast 2 or 3 with crowd frame bodies into a nearby open sewer. had been gathering the airport for days trying to flee the taliban. and that full mer to, for again, talk to us about the explosion, an acute british government to portray its local stuff from one a, one kilometer away. you can smell the blood the last minute that i saw by my own eyes, the body. i saw there devoted 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 a, don't go on the wall. so i a very good of interest of the and also that it wouldn't be glued there, there were 40 and so i did inform you can be informed. okay . about before these things happened, but they didn't that after that the time was too late for. it hasn't been raised,

i will put 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 will not on those people who will be both not hanging over the government options, but i don't think and babies thought nursing houses the thought going to fight my house and they were going to tell me all i can do the right to survive. but monday, the bill of the i know the like i'm not on on my know who your car we in a bonded know if they help us the believe the other one will be most. that's why they are not even be, are not even talking with me while bridge for exactly dominic rob is admitted. he doesn't know exactly how many he k national was still in afghanistan. he's facing growing anger over the handling the british evacuation mission and put the number

behind in the low hundreds during a recent interview. look, of course, when we are 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 of their undocumented, believe it or not dominate ra then went on to say that no other department in the 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 res, numerous consent and raise many eyebrows. among many colleagues in the hall of westminster of close dominic roles has been long embroiled over the last few weeks in many controversial issues. and the handling of the crisis in africa based on

because of course, when koppel fell to the taliban some 2 weeks ago, dominic 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 on, on pocky stall, which is lead to many people pointing. many thing is of blame dominant rob. so the foreign secretary to go a while during an international crisis of this magnitude is 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 and suicide . so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking. while his handling of the

crisis in afghanistan has really gone from bad to worse. in fact, he's now saying and advising that, anybody that still need to leave ask on a stone would 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 for to checkpoints and really it's putting a lot of trust in the taliban to uphold that side of the deal. allowing any safe passage to anybody that wishes to leave. it does come. of course, the britain promised that all u. k. citizens, all u k. nationals, and indeed all of those assisted and the occupation assisted the british army and the occupation of the last 18 years would be able to return to the united kingdom. however, as the weeks and days been passed, many ministers in parliament was saying not everybody would be able to get out. and 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 that 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 these. why? because we have got 17000 people out. well, it's not just the u. k. citizens that are in need of returning here to the united kingdom, but many, many africans are 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. so what we're hearing now is the 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 that 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 a foreign affair. select committee. that's an opportunity for many m p 's to really grill the foreign secretary office handling of this crisis. no doubt it really will be a grilling. indeed. that tomorrow, but many people are really questioning how on the dominate, rob is in this position still in this position, a crucial role. but at a critical time, we asked people in london what they think of the foreign secretaries handling of the afghan pull out. i think you should be aware of how many people are left and

then tried to help those people. well, i mean, they have to come up with the correct term of how many people are there. and why was they, you know, brought back. he's sure that he doesn't know what we have actually done the best i mean to, to be on a british, but someone gives you 4 days or 5 days to clear out of a country. don't go much chances getting everyone, however you seem to be more more concerned with his own in depression that he is making on the world. well, there's a lot more what's going on in the world around him. if a public doesn't, a public person doesn't have knowledge and who is supposed to protect the nation. it doesn't make me feel that i can try a politician. my whole opinion of the government is not very high. and as the dominant, rob, so behavioral thing is appalling. i'm just

a good while dominant rob is flatly denied a claim from us media that britain may have been indirectly responsible for letting a suicide bomber into couple airport last thursday. append to can document lead to political magazine suggest american forces kept the airport main gate open despite knowing it was a prime target to terrorists in order to let british personnel evacuate. but the foreign secretary has said that the allegation is just not true. and another government minister has a keys, the us of indulging in a blame game. there is an underlying current of blame, which is unhelpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scalar, this attack was known beforehand, old gate should have been closed as a matter of protocol, and they went, which suggest saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. what we asked for me, you came to terrorism intelligence officer, char schubert,

you're about hired to conduct such an operation amid a high risk of a terrorist attack. end of the day. if you've only got one or 2 or 3 days left to carry out your evacuation, it could be argued got, you constantly shut down the operation every time that there's a town. that's because if you do so of course you just had an initiative to group such as an official, perhaps even the taliban themselves. you could simply manufacture bomb alerts like that. and therefore, by disrupt the operation. i thought after time, even before the capture place, the british appear to be the people who actually went public with this, which in a way could undermine any attempts to capture or kill the attacker before he got to the airport. because of course, that discloses the festival. there is a source that is disclosing this confirmation. i'm 2nd, it gave warning to the attacker. if he's watching the news, which i'm sure he said he was colleagues of that, he was nice,

there was information you've been given that he might, he or she might be on their way to remodel european union. his pricing for a surgeon, refugees from afghanistan and ministers have just held an emergency meeting to with the focus on preventing a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis with more his charlotte davinsky. well, what seems to be in agreement from you minute is, is that have to be more done to protect the external world as from the migration price is happening there. role for discussions about the situation in afghanistan, that the moment on the fact that they could now be a safe haven for terrorists. and also they could be more terrorism as a result of the current situation. but the main focus that appeared to be from this meeting that they leave is the ministers that will to prevent illegal migrants from coming to europe based on lessons learned, the

e u and its members states stand determined to act jointly to prevent the reoccurrence of uncontrolled large scale, illegal migration movements faced in the past. appropriate security checks should be carried out, including for the full use of relevant e u databases as well as resignation in euro duck. well, the issue of dealing with a large migration is something that you will be rattling since the us started pulling out its troops from afghanistan. it's something that you're really concerned about because wanting. so who will to see is a repeat of what happened back in 2015 when around a 1000000 syrians flooded in europe, causing what many described as being my ration crisis. but since then, there have been a huge amount of work done, particularly on the eastern buddhist o, v u block to reinforce the borders that have a look now at some of the work that's been undertaken.

news the the me is also the thorny issue of resettling migrants and refugees from afghans on something that you decided that it's still can not agree on. and as a result, back as a result of being able to give any definitive figures as to how many people will be

able to come to the you. it will not still be done on a voluntary basis, country by country that you estimate since 2015 that have been around 570000 asylum application just for my got the song. and it says that in february, as soon applications have increased the food, of course, as that concern as a whole of the for my son government was coming. now that you want to see, and this is discussed me thing today, that there is more than to relocate. people have gone down to countries nearby in the region. so around the gone. but we've already heard from pockets on that. it feels as if it's already sold to the brim. i cannot take any more individuals on this idea that your looks to be closing. it would just continue with the idea of fortress. europe is something that is provoked to revoke international human rights organizations, such as, i'm the international law. i'm with the international is written to the

e u and also to u. k. to say that it's deeply concerned about the type of language that you is using when it talks about protecting its borders that you will. so how's it says another solution. this is daniel cower is money important to the taliban by saying, look, if you cheat to certain conditions, if you protect the white women, if you allow girls to to school, we will give you money and funding towards humanitarian assistance to the country. rebuilding the country all of this so does come with those conditions and the commission is today thing off that press conference, we will have to wait and see if those positions are met. the money will not be forthcoming before they met. despite all of the discussions today, we know that some european countries offer that they also will not be taking any more migrant refugees from amazon. was just a matter of number. when it comes to admission, my position is well, moon. i think that nothing much has changed, especially because austria has done the loss already. we have taken in

a bigger than proportionate share of people since 20.
