plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk the taliban celebrate is taking the last area as i scan is stan nor thunderous control resistance. however, claims is still hoenstein shade full service. our job biden's approval ratings dropped to the lowest of his presidency after the chaos withdrew from us on the stand. but the ministration is sticking to the belief that some good p r can still shift public opinion away from the object failure. i mean, i've got a son, kale test, personal relations with the united states, the questions joe biden to assess the situation and america's role as

a global sleeper power. ah, good evening. just go 9 o'clock here. moscow. you watching our thing international . now then asked, asking profit is not under taliban control, has reportedly fallen sizes of resistance fighters were believed and massed in pan share the last of the country 34 provinces. early today, the opposition planed to still control or entrances to the province, saying that the taliban had lost hundreds of fighters. so let's get more in this now. go straight to cripple and speak to us our phone, bad motor gas the f. good evening to again, we're adam rad any further confirmation because we're hearing conflicting reports. we have the taliban saying that they succeeded. we have the resistance fight is saying that's not the case. well the taliban incredible is absolutely sure that they have taken punchier province. the gotten 5 celebratory gun 5 that we

heard was it was a rule coming from all over the city. hundreds, thousands of rifles being fired into the air. freights around screaming through the scott. they seem absolutely sure that taliban had said yes, we have taken the entirety of a pudgy province. we have heard from another source that perhaps no rule of it is yet. on the taliban control, that had of course, been days of negotiation. that's more than a week of negotiation between the taliban and the and you tell about forces and paget province. those negotiations fell through the taliban, saying that the demands made by the, by the fight. does that work completely unreasonable? they allegedly demand that 30 percent of ministerial roles in the, in any new governments of 30 percent administer positions. we have heard from one

source that that's the rule of padre province is, has been taken, but that the taliban had broken through defences. but many of the fighters that had surrendered had agreed surrendered to the taliban and the negotiations were under way with those that had that was still putting up a fight. again. this version, we have only heard from, from one source, the opposition that the form of the vice president of the country allegedly said a video in which he appears to be sitting in front of bookshelves at an unconfirmed location he had previously claimed to be in your province, and he says that this is all tally bad propaganda that the know with the they hadn't broken through the province. and that it was still entirely held entirely held by the anti taliban forces. and that they were putting up a fight and that they were fighting the kind of bug. so that is their perspective. but certainly here in capitol, where you get more gun shot,

but they have quite and out. you you there is absolute surety that yes the province has fallen. in fact, the one of the taliban spokespeople official has come out and said won't fight as will urged flight this year and cobbled to stop flowering into the air because it is dangerous because those bullets one thought when fired upward, they must come down with and they could injure or hurt someone. okay, well thanks for that i to say that was the arctic motor against the reporting to live from can pull. i mean, while person biden is hitting you loose at home with only 43 percent of americans approving of his performance, according to a recent national poll that sees worst racing since he started the job, the m 6 percent following the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. so how could the administration win back the hearts and minds and focuses on t columnist, 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 field was green by bradley cooper. or chris or jay to thinking, you know, i don't think i do know is, is definitely going to be a movie because now the robot to, for us got installing has been lost by the us. 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 so badly. exhibit one is in fact the aforementioned major general chris donahue. there is no way that this picture here was there and different pay all through 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 us to get the last american troops left. jeff can a stand, i mean,

come on. you think this is really the last us so tonight 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 his long voices . k ought to be confused with cable or special on our eagle the asteroid for whenever they pop on what it might be, hard to believe, given the general accuracy for their joints, you still need special forces on the ground going them in just in case civilians game right, there is no way to then the last us soldier enough can install it on shaping history is just sending out an image off, joe biden, according to voices, and he's off the phone call to ask our president, gone. he before couple fell and gone. the data runner, the american president, couldn't run anyway if he tried said there was a need, whether it's true or not,

there is a need to project a different mixture. is that accurately 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 this is joe barton's words, the project at different pages that each which is hard when the pictures is clear, this one for everyone to see you thought to get really questionable stuff by this extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill bravely and selfless courage 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 looked back into becoming a breeding ground of terror. got his tongue, a cup become a naco state. 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 the get rid of west

the nation are gonna start sending out liberal statements instead of the un security. can 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 uphold human rights, fight terrorism? invade, not 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 and all that is just to show off the math of a country and offered 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. julie asking the ton of mostly affect any stranded americans during the evacuation of carnival and bring them gently to the britain. m. i 6 by the pound key. now talking to the taliban to ask them not to let any terrorist set up camp. there wasn't that the didn't threatening the taliban, not in the u. n. and then asking for their help on the ground and getting caught trying to rewrite reality. not a good look off the 2 decades about that stuff. doesn't make the hollywood version not with hundreds of american citizens and afghans we have phases. left stranded in afghanistan, washington is promising to look at all the possible options to get them out of the country. but it's not the only problem. the u. s. is left behind. after 20 years of conflict. i

the the television now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world. ah. and isis k still exist in our growing and gamma stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. oh, the majority of every member behind the veteran, we now have americans stuck in afghan at the taliban in charge

with mo, 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 top of the population, me to monetary and one and 3 don't know where the next to me you will come from. will not at the administration is facing harsh criticism over the afghanistan. pull out the republican party does appear to be poised to capitalize in the upcoming mid term elections before mat his cal multi more than $100.00 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. for terrorist, we get everybody else. dozens and dozens of us didn't plan to the airport and the never own mission has failed. it reason failure? what the failure looked 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 the impeachment is not on the table, but he couldn't hide the fact that 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 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 administration 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 democrat. reality as this is the american people versus very small handful of incredibly powerful people that run washington d. c. were planting criticism at home wasn't enough. joe biden is also sitting relations. feel the strain with one of america's main allies, pretty senior government ministers, calling into question washington's go global ro, following the events in afghanistan, 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 the nato western

withdrawal from afghanistan and those scenes at the airport. all of them really combining to lead to a blame gay 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. british prime minister bars johnson has been under a lot of pressure domestically. but again, he's taken aim and 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 for couple to the taliban, once the people in the can only felt that they were no longer going to be getting that american cover. then i think the logic for them became really to, to in that their resistance and say things did go fast. now that finger pointing is going both ways. there is a report out of briefing by the pentagon in the u. s. essentially blaming you pay 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 be shot that was leading into the airport about the british and kept it open in order to a declaration effort. despite that priest and 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, they're not willing, that nice try to rid themselves with as much responsibility and public eyes as possible reporting. now another news this evening for police officers have been injured in clashes with anti vaccine pro testers who've tried to storm the offices of the u. k. medicines, regulator in east london. yeah, the the. 2 it so the kind of descended there on the medicines and health care products, regular free agency in protest, the vaccination of children against the last month of some of the demonstration. so protest is try and storm what they thought was vc takes chief,

but was in fact the building, the broadcast had vacated. he is the guy that was straight, his parliament has passed the bill, granting police and no inforcement with powers to access suspects. social media accounts, police will not be able to modify and delete suspects data, hack their devices, and control their social media without having to see could judge's approval authority say that the power is are needed to fight terrorism and child exploitation, much of which is conducted on line critics, though distressed at the new bill, makes a straight, liam, police, judge, jury and executioner, while contemporaries in for instance, u. k, and the u. s. have no such powers. now in a province share a parliament re committee propose making access to social media and dating apps. contingent on use is providing that id 1st. that would, if essentially put an end to anonymity on the internet for straightens the

suggestion aimed at tackling online abuse. but the proposal is yet to be passed into law. subbing attack in the zealand. his last 6 people injured had happened to the supermarket in oakland at around 240 in the afternoon local time and friday. the prime minister says it was carried out by nicest in spite extremist, his what witnesses said, the 2 ladies, what lady for part of me just went to debbie? neither will allow for a moment. 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 guy, the stepping of a one. and then i walked to the next thought 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. well, 3 of the 6 people in utah are in critical condition. the attack was just for lankin

man who had been on a security threat list since 2016 and shot dead by police in the store had previously been arrested for planning an attack. after which he was closely monitored. security 90 tara assess expert. sorry. david le believes attacks like this are hard to prevent and also believes it might have been inspired by offense in afghanistan. you look at the incident and it was a 62nd attack. now, i know really look at that 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. of course, they won't issue certainly from withdrawal from afghanistan and western forces on western influence with the islamic states in the course of province. that might be a coincidence. but you know, timing wise was this individual will never know now because he received by the

museum police islamic 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 travel over that frustrating campus. but the other factors, if they've got a degree of stability they can get that media ministry running again. there is effective as it was not healthy, you official say that they can't bank on americans military muscle on the block should develop his own defense capabilities. as many times has shown deficiencies in our strategic autonomy comes with a price, we need to increase our capacity to be able to act autonomously when and where necessary, and not to be dependent on the choices made by others. even if this

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 us unreliable partner and this is one idea. gaining traction me to the home. i was going, the us is tired and doesn't want to be the guardian of the world day anymore. the last for the year war enough goes done. there's a life. the americans live to the people, fight in the european union must improve europe defense as a feeler inside nature. finally, we have to know the limits or, 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. sure autonomy is greater diversity for action throughout. we must reflect openly and clear on a new stage in collective security and defense repeatability. while they might be, you were with the oven in you all, you even a common defense policy. how likely is it? well, covering tool in brussels have been focused on muted, rapid reaction force that 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 with an e. u military force would effectively duplicate work for the carry down if i need to. and that this could further 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 evacuation from cooper to such a large, viscous organization as they used to slow for that countries must join forces in opportunity collisions. the whole thing is that i thought was

a wake up call. 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 feel 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? while the breakup of afghanistan is in nobody's interests. that's the message from

florida mid to to who has described the u. s. the drool process as a catastrophe. the russian president was addressing a major economic form which is currently underway in the russian far east and city of the vall, stock disputed what's happened in afghanistan is indeed a catastrophe. slower is 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 there, people who worked 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 in that 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 organization 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. sure, you 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 the members of the council in removing the status. russia and china also eager to explore a chance for peace and 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 the terrorist moment being challenged in the few coming months. but that of course, will depend on how the movement itself 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 or not, despite the fact that all those great powers have very different agendas in august . and it seems that for the time being they, you want to try something new in that country and hopefully that will come about in the next few months, watching out into national thanks for the company tonight. we'll be back with the headlines more stories for you at the top of the.
