if nato were disbanded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in larger companies would lose millions and millions more as business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. the madeline's, this our job by his approval ratings, up to the lowest of his presidency after the cale to withdraw from afghanistan. but the administration is sticking to the belief that some good pay all can still shift public opinion away from the object failure going chaos tests. britton's relations with the us as questions joe biden's, assessment of the situation and america's role as a global superpower. key us partners in the you rethink that dependence on washington with top diplomat saying they can't rely on american military support.

and the block perhaps needs its own army. meantime this friday, the russian president calls the afghanistan situation, a catastrophe which serves nobody's interest. what's happened in afghanistan is indeed a catastrophe. americans are pragmatic people and have spent over $1.00 trillion dollars on the afghan campaign. but to spend awe either hit your global update from our see international. my name is colleen bray, just in 6 in the evening. here in moscow, it's 7 30 pm in afghanistan. new for you this hour, apparently ready for peace. i've got resistance fighters calling for negotiations with the taliban. the self proclaimed national resistance from the base to punch here the last province, not on the taliban control,

but apparently the group stressing that it is still ready to defend the area if necessary. let's get a handle on this now. live to our senior correspondent where i guess the f as in cobble either more out sounds like a very tentative approach this. what's behind it? where might lead well they obviously realize that the after the taliban takeover of got to start and bear in mind, that budget province is the last province of got a thought that is not i'm the taliban control. the rest of the country is uncontested. lee and the taliban control. and what we have seen over the past few weeks is battelle a bad and badger authorities, the resistance they're negotiating from what we understand those negotiations collapsed over the last several days due to what the taliban says. ease is ridiculous. the mud made by the, by the anti taliban forces there who, according to some reports about the 30 percent of, of government posts for,

for them. so these are ministers that they would, that they would nominate. since then, as we understand hostilities have broken out, we have seen vast gordon boys of taliban troops in armored vehicles and pick up trucks without tillery and pow heading for punch in the province, which they say which taliban says if be now controls 20 percent off. they say that they have taken 20 percent, that, that they are fighters, are progressing towards the center of punches. we have also spoken exclusively exclusively to the fighters to the anti taliban forces. the remnants of the old regime of the old military that collapse in the face of the taliban is offensive as well as various tribes and destiny cities. the dukes like the tide about we have spoken to them and he is what they had to say. but i'm of them at the same

commodity right now. we're in a place that was spawn. sure. and could this and my message to the taliban is that if you want to hold talks to make peace, we will not refuse them. but if you want to forcibly enter upon sir, a thing that will give it to you. that is the dream will never do that. will defend not just fun shirt, but the whole of galveston and in a moment the silk patch. but she had brought them from what, when decided and we have spoken to both military experts and veterans who served here and have got to start who know the lay of the delay out of the area. and all of them say is that, you know, if i've got a studies, a different planet in terms of combat because of the hostile conditions here, the hostile geography of bad cheer province is in a league of its own. it is even more hostile than, than, than the rest of i've got to start so it may be difficult for the taliban even if they have all of these elements that they inherited from the former regime, from the form of government. all of these weapons,

even if the pentagon came out and said that these guys are going to be on their own, because my province the, the resistance that they appealed to washington, they appealed the western powers for help, as stripes to which the pentagon responded. the military operation of galveston is over, so it is doubtful they'll be receiving any, any sort of obvious help from abroad. nevertheless, the taliban may have a difficult task of taking the area. if negotiations don't resume if both sides don't find it in them. to compromise, this may be a protracted siege indeed. a coke bottle now for us to appreciated several, i guess the f a cobbled next. no, president biden is hitting new loads at home with any 43 percent of americans approving of his performance. according to a national poll is worth rating since he started the job down 6 percentage points. following the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, the vast majority of americans viewing that war as a failure. now,

another operation begins for the administration to win over hearts and minds at home and to persuade people that it wasn't that bad. economy simon, right, gives us his take areas in the law us soldier to leave african is don major general chris donahue, of the 2nd and seem to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or jay to think it tonight. i don't think i know is, is definitely going to be a movie because now the robot to get installing has been lost by the u. s. then it's buddies, the real battle, we're getting 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 badly. exhibit one is in fact, the aforementioned major general chris donahue, there is no way that this picture here was there. and if it is payoff to it and heroic green send out into the, well, the media will govern it without question. say stuff like this,

the last american soldier to leave afghanistan on the lot. and us noted to me that the last american troops left can a stand. i mean, come on. you think this is really the last us don't do enough? 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 wife. this long voices came to be confused with k pop or special k ordered asteroids for whenever they pop on what it might be hard to believe, given their general accuracy for their joints, you still need special forces time on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians game there is no way to them. law us soldier enough can install it. p o shaping history is just sending out an image off. joe biden, according to voices in his last phone call to ask our president,

gone before the ball 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 make job is helpful. well, i'm not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or 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 start to get really questionable stuff. 5, extraordinary success. and 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 listing 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. got his tongue, a cut become

a naco state. the girls have got to be educated up to the age of 18. because as the guy on the ball with hall to sell was 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 band to hold 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 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 to show off to you 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 deal with the us military. actually asking the taliban nicely. you gotta affect any stranded americans during the evacuation of combo. bring them gently to be written . am i 6 by the pound key now talking to the taliban to awesome. not to let any terrorist settle 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 afghans with faces left stranded in afghanistan, washington's promising to look at all possible options to not leave them that

permanently and looking out for its own people isn't the nice thing for us. is boston? it's 20 years and half canister on the the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah okada and isis k still exist in our growing and gamma stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. the

majority of every member behind me is a veteran. we now have americans stuck in afghanistan. 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 looms in afghanistan on the half the population need few monetary and assistance. one and 3. don't know where the next meal will come from. well, now that the administration's facing harsh criticism over the i'm going to pull out the republican party appears, poised to get, you know, biden's misfortune in the upcoming mid term elections. more on that next from caleb more than more than 100 americans left behind that afghan, a stand,

13 soldiers killed in 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 in chief afghanistan cannot be as a terrorist base for terrorism. we did not get everybody else. dozens and dozens of us didn't plan to the airport and they never opened. hasn't failed. it reason failure. what the failure look like afghanistan now seems to be the reason that 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, so 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 administration, currently inhabiting the white house that is completed 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. o is mounting criticism at home wasn't enough to buy and may now also be facing a decline and what was not so long ago seen as a very special relationship, you got to stand crisis things, city government ministers in britain call into question washington's global role. a superpower. the does also not force. it's just

a big power. what we've been seeing since the chaotic scenes 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 had 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 a power, some of the strategies put forth by us, including the withdrawal of support for the afghan army saying that essentially

once that was withdrawn, it was never eligible. that they would lay down their arms and give up the fight for couple to the taliban. once the people in the i can only felt that they were no longer going to be getting that american cover. then i think the logic for them the came really to, to end that their resistance and say things did go faster now that finger pointing is going both ways. there is a report out briefing by the pentagon in the us, essentially blaming the u. k. for the devastating bombing, or at least some of the west aspects of that bombing applicable airport. saying that they had advice for one of the main gate to have been shot that was leading into the airport. but the british had kept it open in order to a declaration effort. despite that briefing, 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 certain the, there's no building that needs try to rid themselves of as much responsibility and public eyes as possible. britons not loading, questioning, future reliance. so the united states to give officials now say they can no longer count solely on the americans military muscle. another 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 this others of 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 us unreliable partner and this is one idea that gaining traction me to the home. i was going the us this is tired and doesn't want to be the guardian of the world any more. last year war enough, got us done. there's a life the americans applied to the people site and the european unanimous improve your 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 the search just political event to rest, that you must twice for greater decision making to autonomy. its greater diversity

for action throughout. 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, the 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 member states, skeptical of such plans. there are concerns, but then you military force will effectively duplicate the work already carried down. if i need to, i'm 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 to remember that in you all me is a known starter for an operations such as the recreation from cooper to 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 wakeup 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 bought all saying no, it was a disaster. that's why they say now, we should have a force that we can project the project across the book, but to go where they can or, i mean america is falling back behind. it's on board, as they become isolationist, to get both republicans and democrats. you to fill out the european governments, feel that they're being let down by america in this, that bite and was 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? it's friday afternoon, anti vaccine protest. i have tried to storm the offices of the case medicines regulator in east london. it's for the crowd descended on the m h. r. a protest over the vaccination of children against cove. it

the the but it may have been a pretty has the more in east london, but the lines outside the vaccination centers much bigger. let's go live to one. now a correspondence. shoddy edwards dashti is that shoddy? we saw some pretty angry scenes in london a couple of hours ago was pretty pulse for your time. how did that pan out? well, 1st had the today we're out in full force on an absolute mission to court as much habit and disruption as possible. but it was all in the name of children's rights over potential plans to vaccinate 12, to 15 year olds across the united kingdom earlier they store the case drug red

regulate $38.00 here in east london. and then they moved here to the science museum, which is now operating as a math vaccination center. we saw in both places, fine and flashes with the police. but finally, the place managed to dispense the crowds and even using tactics like tackling to try and move them along. now all of this comes around the u. k. government watchdog vaccines watch cars decided not to give the green light to allow this roll out of the vaccinations to healthy 12 to 15 year olds. how as there is a little bit of an issue with all of that because it doesn't rule it out in the future. and that's why many protesters are particularly angry. they like it to be in touch hailing freedom, right and liberty. i'm essentially the right to your party as well. for these protests is that particularly angry, but all of this does indeed come inside the 1st week abroad at school for children of schools. the new academic year has just underway yet again,

so many medical unsigned, prefer extremely worried that the virus could return and come back with a vengeance. in fact, the education secretary has spoken out and says that the nature is ready and eager to roll out the vaccines to the 12 to 15 year old vaccination rollout could happen at pace as well. but these protesters, they will not stop anything. they will try and stop this roll out before it's too late. they argue that children do not need to be vaccinated. that there isn't any house grounds that actually says that they need to be vaccinated a tool. and they also worry about the side effects to the government says it will always problem with consent from the parents. for many processes argue they cannot possibly believe what the government says. and they haven't believe what the government has been saying throughout the pandemic, which is why we've seen these protests is coming out in full force throughout the last 18 months. navy, now even longer throughout the entire pandemic. but it was all today's decision not

to give the green light doesn't mean we've had the end of it for vaccination program for 12 to 15 year olds. the education secretary has always route to move heaven and not to shut schools down. once again, like a sore in the heights of locked down, even if the instruct making children, i guess will know when the numbers change. for cove it has the kids get back to school in the next week or so. right for that show the edwards dash, the self love and thank you. next to stabbing attack in new zealand has left of 6 people injured. it happened to the supermarket in oakland at around 2 40 pm local time on friday. the prime minister says it was carried out by an isis, in spite extremist, is what witnesses say? they saw the 2 ladies, what lady 1st part of me just went to debbie. neither will allow for one, but 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 stabbing everyone. and then i walked up to the next door and i saw

a lady flag 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 injured are in a critical condition right now. the attacker was us for lankin man who's been on a security threatening since 2016. he was shot dead by police in the store. he previously been arrested for planning an attack after which he was closely monitored, security and anti terror expert. david lo 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 incidence and also it was a 62nd attack. no. i know really you 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 a big issue. certainly from withdrawal from afghanistan and western forces out of

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 like state. 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 training counts. but the other factors, if they've got a degree of stability, they can get that medium industry running again. and there is effective as it was. that's the news for now investigating the effects of profit driven medicine on the 2nd vulnerable next in medicating normal, unhealthy. the join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then in

the family is that what the market sounds good? i took market function. you would like to get some idea of who definition me to do and i'm john. i got i've got that limit and i wanted them to be back to the left me about the less about i get up there for us.
