the the, the, the, the, the jo biden's approval rating dropped into the lowest of his presidency after the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan for the administration sticking to the belief that some good can still shift public opinion away from the objects, paleo, the ally across the atlantic. now calls into question america's role as a global superpower, the british premier say he saw the fall of cobbled coming for us for joe biden. it came as a surprise to us partners in the u. tooth rethink their dependence on washington with topped up, saying they can't rely on american military support on the block, perhaps needs it so no make them rushes,

president calls the canister situation, a catastrophe which serves nobody's interest delivered to what's happened in us getting this done is indeed, a catastrophe. americans are pragmatic people and have spent over $1.00 trillion dollars on the afghan campaign. but it was spend, ah, either friday afternoon or 5 here in moscow. i am calling bray welcome to world news for him on the international 1st. president biden is hitting new loads at home with only 43 percent of americans approving of his performance. as, according to a recent national poll, it's also his worst such rating since he started a job down 6 percentage points following the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, mid, the vast majority of americans viewing the ball is a failure. now,

another operation begins to the administration to whenever hodson minds at home and persuade people that it wasn't that bad of the column is simon right, gives us his take areas. then the last us soldier to leave afghanistan, major general chris donahue of the 82nd soon to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or j pink, who no, only thing i know is, is definitely going to be a movie because now the battle for installing has been lost by the u. s. than it's bodies. the real battle in the battle to make light. and i turn the u. s. actually one. well, maybe not one. they're not miracle workers, but make it look they didn't lose quite so badly. exhibit one is in fact, the aforementioned major general chris donahue. there is no way that this picture here was there. and if this is payoff, do it in heroic green, send it out into the well, the media will govern it without question. say stuff like this, the last american photo leave afghanistan belong to us. noted to me that the last

american troops left jeff ghana, stan, i'm a, come on. you think this is really bizarre. us don't, you're not going to, we will not forgive. we will not forget we will hunt you down to make you pay that angry old uncle joe biden. they're talking about this new all this long. his case ought to be confused with cable or special came on how he's ordered asteroids for whenever they pop on what it might be. hard to believe, given their general accuracy for those and drugs, you still need special forces on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game. there is no way that and the last few as sojourn african installment p o shaping history is just sending out an image off joe biden, according to voices and his last phone call to ask our president, gone before couple fell and gone. the data runner, the american president,

couldn't run anyone if he tried said there was a need, whether it's true or not, there is a need to project a different mixture. it's accurate can be helpful. so i'm not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or legal transcripts of phone calls. so yeah, it's accurate. we're well into jo biden's words, the project, a different nature than each which is hard when the pictures are clear, this one for everyone to see you thought to get really questionable stuff. 5 extraordinary success in this mission was due to the incredible skill. bravely and suffer. scourge of united states military. the phrase, extraordinary success. there is a pretty heavy lifting there. boys, johnson is going in this direction. what we're saying is that guns don canton look back into becoming a breeding ground of terror. gun has done a cut become a narco state. the girls have got to be educated up to the age of 18 because

as the stone to balk hall to sell anything like when they get rid of western nations, they're gonna start sending out liberal statements. instead of the un security council, the security council was voting on a resolution meant as a message for the taliban that the world is watching, also included stuff like telling the van to uphold human rights and fight terrorism . invade sure they're listening at this point. china, russia abstained in the vote because we can see in this an attempt to shift the blame for the failure to collapse after 20 years of the presence of the united states and their allies in the region onto the taliban. and all the countries in the region that will have to deal with the results of the piano, opportunity, diplomatic grandstanding, flashing the liberal. all that is just for show off of just messed up

a country and scampered. one of the stories then not advertising. well, this one we're learning details of a secret agreement, stunning details between the taliban and the u. s. military that deal with the u. s . military. actually asking the taliban mostly affect any stranded americans during the evacuation of combo. bring them gently to the britain. am i 6 by the pound key now talking to the taliban? to awesome. not to let any terrorist set up camp. there wasn't that the didn't threatening the taliban at the u. n. and then asking for their help on the ground. getting caught, trying to rewrite reality. not a good look off the 2 decades about that stuff doesn't make the hollywood version or hundreds of american citizens and ask guns with phases left stranded in afghanistan, washington promising to look at all possible options to not leave them there permanently and looking out for its own people isn't the only thing the u. s. is

botched and it's 20 years and i've got this done. i use the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah okada and ices k still exist in our growing gamma stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. ah, the

majority of every member behind the veteran we now have american stuff. going to get us than the taliban in charge with most more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open, ah, the humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the half the population, me to monetary and one and 3 don't know where the next meal will come from. now that the administration facing harsh criticism over the canister pull out the republican party appears poised to gain on biden's misfortune in the upcoming mid term elections. more on that next from k, the morgan, more than 100 americans left behind that afghan, a stand, 13 soldiers killed and

a bombing, the chaotic pull out of afghanistan has turned into a major weapon for republicans to use against the biden administration. as they roll toward the 2020 to mid term elections team, trump has even started calling joe biden. the surrender and chief afghanistan cannot be as a terrorist for terrorism, we did not get everybody out. dozens and dozens of us went to the airport and the gates never opened. mission hasn't failed. it reason failure? what just failure look like afghanistan now seems to be the reason the republicans are now calling for impeachment. we call upon most somberly the resignation of this president joe biden. if we leave any americans behind, if we leave thousands of those afghans who fought along our side behind, bravely,

joe biden deserves to be in peach for a higher crime and misdemeanor of dereliction of duty. republicans in congress have to get on board with this process, build the case, start doing the work, and figure out how to get this done and impeach joe biden. now the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell says that impeachment is not on the table, but he couldn't hide the fact, but some democrats are starting to get hot under the collar. well, look, the president is not going to be removed from office. it's a democratic house, narrowly democratic senate, have a feeling, the american people didn't think they voted for this government. it's grosser expression. we fill in it, i think given some of the democrats affiliate, this goes beyond capitol hill. divisions of spread to ordinary citizens, half of americans, including one 3rd of democrats, now say that joe biden should resign over the afghanistan debacle. though 47 percent say his replacement comma le harris wouldn't fair, much better. one restaurant owner in florida has actually gone as far as banning

biden's supporters from her diner. she says the sign stays up in her window until every american is out of afghanistan. if you voted for and continued to support and stand behind the burtless inept and corrupt and ministration currently inhabiting the white house that is complicit in the death of all the service men and women in afghanistan, please take a business elsewhere. yes, the us public has long favorite pulling out of afghanistan the way joe biden did it blew up in his face. now we've got republicans saying that he abandoned americans and made the country look weak and that has intensified divisions in the country. over all the white house is a pretty weak spot with the country looking on and disapproval. there just aren't people that are united over anything these days. they're divided over war. they're divided over response to the corona virus. they're divided over the economy. the divisiveness in america causes people not to reflect on what really makes sense.

and instead to join in this blame game of right versus left, which leads to know which doesn't lead to actual illumination of the issues and thoughtful responses. the rift between the american people is just going to wide and wide and wide and, and the possibility for civil dialogue between the 2 is going to become harder and harder. and that's why it's crucial for those of us who don't fall into either one of those can't make a point of pointing out how all of the politicians are wrong. and how this was never supposed to be about republican versus democratic reality. as this is the american people versus very small handful of incredibly powerful people that run washington d. c. meant and criticism at home wasn't enough to abide, may now also be facing a decline in watson not so long ago, was seen as a very special relationship. that's kind of on crisis is seeing officials in london called into question washington's global role. a superpower. that is also not preferred to stick at something isn't probably superpower, eva, it is certainly not a global force. it's just

a big power. what we've been seeing since the chaotic scenes, all of the nato western withdrawal from afghanistan, those scenes that the fort, all of them really combining to lead to a blame game, people pointing the thing is that each other from within what is increasingly a fraction, not just nato, but so called a special relationship that we've heard so much about over the past few decades between the u. k and the u. s. and now those very different assessments and pronouncements of the situation really playing out in public. it's been clear for many months that the situation could go very fast. the truth is, this did on fall more quickly than we had anticipated. the british prime minister bars johnson has been under a lot of pressure domestic lee. but again, he's taken aim and power. some of the strategies put forth by us, including the withdrawal of support for the african army,

saying that essentially once that was withdrawn, it was never the ball, but they would lay down their arms and give up the fight football to the taliban. once the people in the army felt that they were no longer going to be getting that american cover, then i think the logic for them came really to, to end that their resistance and say things did go fast. now that finger pointing is going both ways. there is a report out briefing by the pentagon in the u. s. essentially blaming u. k. for the devastating bombing rightly some of the worst aspects of the bombing applicable airport. saying that they had advice for one of the main gate to have been shot. that was leading into the airport about the british and kept it open in order to a d evacuation f. a. despite that, briefly say that there were intelligent signals that an attack was imminent. so all

sides now engaged, seemingly in a briefing war and trying to pub, if not when the public relations war, because that in the, this not willing that i need try to rid themselves of as much responsibility in public eyes as possible. britain not alone and questioning its future reliance. so the united states, top officials now say they can no longer count solely the americans military muscle and that the block should perhaps develop its own defense capabilities. as many times has shown that the deficiencies in our strategic autonomy comes with a price. we need to increase the capacity to be able to act autonomously when and where necessary, and not to be dependent on the charges made by others. even if these others are our friends and allies, one idea is emerging strongly. you needs its own only. it's not

new, but what many now feel is that the u. s. unreliable partner and this is one idea, gaining traction me to the hamas ago. the us is tired and doesn't want to be the guardian of the world anymore. so last year war enough goes done. there's a life. the americans lied to the people side and the european union must improve europe's defense as a feeler inside nature. finally, we have to know the limits or capacities and very carefully analyze the you possibilities, though with voices only echoed what some you need is being saying. now there is a deep sense that you must find a way to have more told me which could mean no more cozying up to the us. we do not need know to search just political event to rest, that you must twice for greater decision making to autonomy and greater depression

for action and dwelt. we must reflect openly and clear on a new stage in collective security and defense chip ability. while there might be, you were with the oven in you all, you even a common defense policy. how likely is it? well, covering tools in brussels have been focused on muted, rapid reaction force, intervening, international crises. previous efforts controlling the military might have ended in failure. the

reality of bringing this idea to fruition is even more complicated than not a number of men to stay skeptical of such plans. there are concerns with an e. u military force would effectively duplicate the work already carried out by nito, and that this could be the strain relations with us. the ear is not a credible substitute for what nature represents. you will not see any appetite for the european army amongst member states. and some defense experts say that to remove any in you all me is a known starter for an operation such as the recreation from ca bu such a large, viscous organization as the used to slow for that countries must join forces in opportunity collisions. oh, thing that is that i thought was a wake up call to the new and it found itself blocking in military friends and

military might want and said that it was syntactically successful, the evacuation and you have boil saying no, it was a disaster. that's why they say now we should have a force that we can project the project across broke, but to go where they can or, i mean america is, is falling back behind its own borders. they become isolation is to get both republicans and democrats. you fuchs and the european governments feel that they're being let down by america in this, that bite and one much too fast. and so they, they wonder if natal is still a good idea. it's a, it's a real basic question that they're looking at. is nato still alive? the breakup of afghanistan is in nobody's interest. that's the message from vladimir putin who's described to us with rural processes, a catastrophe. the russian president was addressing a major economic form which is currently underway in the russian far east and city

of laval. stock district. what's happened in afghanistan is indeed a catastrophe. slower, it's not my word. it's american analyst saying it. americans are pragmatic people and have spent over $1.00 trillion dollars on the afghan campaign. but to watch and there is none. and this is a humanitarian catastrophe, as well. if you look at the number of people left, the people who work for the western forces, i hope the west will come to understand their old policy, namely, to civilize other states forcibly. i'm bringing elements of modern civilization in the image of western countries themselves. is a mistake? well, i've got some featured prominently, if not on the agenda of this form done at least in the back room discussions because the security of that country essential to the prosperity of the whole not just the whole region, but the whole continent. the, i've got,

some happens to be right in the center of eurasia and any effort to integrate the east and the west to develop this continent economically socially would be doomed without some sort of stability and prosperity. and that's country. now for that to happen, the status of the taliban will have to be addressed. because as of now, the taliban is considered to be terrorist organisation not only by russia, but also by the whole international community in order for that status to be removed or change or challenged in some way. it will require a unanimous vote by the same un security council, and this is exactly what logic put in sap today. variable, configure it. today. the taliban does control most of the territory of afghanistan . and we have to be realistic. we have to look at what's really behind the taliban statements. russia has no interest in the disintegration of afghanistan,

or else there will be no one to negotiate with. so the sooner the been joins, so to speak, the family of civil states, the easier it will be to communicate with them, to ask them questions. the civilized negotiation means certain rules that show me and with the country disintegrated. that's impossible. the united states does not consider the taliban as a terrorist movement, and earlier they unofficially pledge their support in trying to persuade other members of the council in removing that status. russia and china also eager to explore a chance for peace and have janice and both have their own separate negotiation tracks with it. with that moment, russia reopened those talks back in 2018. so if things go smoothly, i think we may actually see the status of the taliban as a terrorist moment being challenged in the few coming months. but that of course,

will depend on how the movement that cell behaves itself for the time being. it's eager in getting international support, it's eager in trying to move the development and the reconstruction of afghanistan had and believe it. and despite the fact that all those great powers have very different jaundice in august, and it seems that for the time being they, you want to try something new in the country. and hopefully that will come about in the next few months. cuz we 1st told you lost our anti vaccine protests as have been trying to storm the office of the u. k. medicines, regulator in london. this friday afternoon, the angry crowd tussled with offices in front of the m a char. right. which is responsible for authorizing medical treatment, including cobit 19 vaccine. it's called the crowds angus stemmed from the planned vaccination of children. last month, similar protests, all the crowd try and storm what they thought was, the b, b, c,

h q. folks turned out to be a building the broadcast had vacate, hears earlier the stubbing attack in new zealand has left 6 people injured. it happened to the supermarket in oakland at around $240.00 p. m. local time. on friday, the prime minister said it was carried out by an isis in spite extremist, his what victim said, witnesses say they saw the 2 ladies, what lady for part of me that just went to debbie? neither will allow for and then i just realized that, oh my god, i have to run a lot of people run up to me and says just one, just one is a guy, the step one. and then i walked to the next thought and i saw a lady laying on the floor and then we had about like 6 or 7 gunshots. and everyone just kind of freaked out. everyone ran into the pharmacy, 3 of the 6 people and they were in a critical condition right now. the attack was just for lincoln man who had been on a security threat less since 2016. he was shot dead by police in the store. he'd been on a security threat list that i say for the past 5 years was previously arrested for

planning an attack off the which he was closely monitored. security and anti terror expert. david low believes attacks like this, a hard to prevent and also suspects that it might have been inspired by events in afghanistan. you look at the incident and it was a 62nd attack. no. i know really look about a short time, but it shows the damage that can happen with sharpie blade instruments. it's very, very difficult to have everybody completely on this about 24 hours. again, we're seeing islamic state to inspire these attacks. and of course, this is one big issue, certainly from withdrawal from afghanistan and western forces on western influence with the islamic state in the course of province. it might be a coincidence. but you know, timing wise was this individual will never know now because he received still by the museum police states. they have an area in the area of the eastern border with pakistan. you know, they, they will no doubt want to encourage their individuals who feel

a cause and trouble over that straining counts. but the other factors, if they've got a degree of stability they can get that medium industry running again. there is effective as it was ok, that's it for now, cross talks on the way next. focusing on the increasingly bit of rivalry between china and the united states. the next news update from the team here in moscow is in just have a half an hour. the cataract drugs are essential for millions of patients or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term, they really work. the problem is in the long term,

they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition that was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful. very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can bill. so of all ills, or are we trying to mitigate life itself? i just think i was like i was just scared scare a little girl of 24. and like, didn't have to be so complicated. while the panoramic no certainly no borders and a lot to tease emerge . we don't have authority. we don't actually the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge, you know, governors crisis,

we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together in the me with ah hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered. i'm peter lavelle in the wake of the 2nd high level meeting. where does the front china us relationship

stand? the 1st meeting in anchorage alaska was an embarrassing failure for secretary of state, blinking at the 2nd meeting. the chinese presented the americans with a set of demands. it would seem to stage a set for real negotiations and not just the actrix. the, the cross talking china us relations. i'm joined by my guess, tom watkins and northville. he is president and ceo of t. d. w, and associates, a global business and educational consulting firm in knoxville. we have sarah shue . she is a visiting scholar at to down university, and in beijing we have, i know our 10 again. he is a political and economic affairs commentator or across cycles in effect, that means he can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, let's go to i and are in beijing right before the 2nd summit or earlier this week.

chinese media was expressing that the u. s. is looking for creating imaginary enemy out of china. and it was actually said during the high level meeting, what does that mean, imaginary enemy, could you explain that to our audience? well, china, that feels very beset, i mean, on the, almost a daily basis. this is kind of drum b to china is this that, and the other thing, there's very little proof, lots of allegations. so, i mean, china has, sees this as a situation where trying the u. s. is trying to play king of the hill. in essence, you know, try to cut down a competitor that's rising. the difficulty is that china is not trying to be a global hedge mom. and the u. s. is trying to maintain its position, so they, that imaginary part is all about what the u. s. perceives which china does not agree with. okay, well i can understand you. i live in russia. i know what it feels.
