3:02 pm
more details from cabal, his motor against death. well the taliban capital is absolutely sure that they have taken pudgy province the gun. 5 celebratory gun father we heard was it was a rule coming from all over the city, the hundreds, thousands of rifles being fired and the rates around screaming through the scott. they came absolutely sure that taliban had said yes, we have taken the entirety of a province. we have heard from another source that perhaps no rule of it is yet on the taliban control that had been days of negotiation. that's more than a week of negotiation between the taliban about policies and padget province. those negotiations fell through the taliban, saying that the demand made by the,
3:03 pm
by the fight. does that work completely unreasonable? they allegedly demand that 30 percent of ministerial roles and any new governments that you said, the minister positions, we have heard from one source that that rule of padre province has been taken. but that the taliban had broken through defences. but many of the fighters that had surrendered had agreed to surrender the taliban and the negotiations were under way with those that had that which still putting up a fight again. this version, we have only heard from, from one source, the opposition that the former vice president of the country allegedly said a video in which he appears to be sitting in front of bookshelves in an unconfirmed location he had previously claimed to be in your province. and he says that this is, will tell a bad propaganda that the know will be they hadn't broken through the province. and
3:04 pm
that if it was still entirely held entirely held by the anti taliban forces and the they were putting up a fight and that they were fighting the town of bucks. so that is their perspective . but certainly here in capital you move gunshots. they have quite in doubt. you use there is absolute surety. the yes, the province has fallen. in fact the one of the taliban spooks people official, has come out and said the warning light is urged. fight this here in cable to stop firing into the air because it is dangerous because those bullets when, when fired upward, they must come down with them. they could injure or hurt. what against the of that? and i mean, while president biden is hitting the lows at home with only 43 percent of americans approving of his performance, according to the recent national poll, that's his worst rating since he started the job and 6 percent following the
3:05 pm
chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. so how could the administration win back the hearts and minds of voters? he columnist, simon right, gives us his touch areas. then the laugh us soldier to leave afghanistan. major general chris donahue, of the 2nd one seems to be played on the screen by bradley cooper or chris or jay to thinking, you know, i don't think i know is, is definitely going to be a movie because now the battle for us got installing has been lost by the us, then it's bodies, the real battle in the battle to make it look like a turn. the u. s. actually won. 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 it is payoff, do it in heroic green, send it out into the well, the media will govern it without question. say stuff like this,
3:06 pm
the last american soldier leave afghanistan. us noted to me that the last american troops left jap, janice and i mean, come on. you think this is really bizarre? 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 all his long voice. his case ought to be confused with cable or special case on. eagle ordered as strikes for whenever they pop on what it might be hard to believe, given their general accuracy for their strikes, you still need special forces time on the ground, guiding them in just in case civilians can wait. there is no way to than the last us, so do an african install it p o, shaping history is not just sending out an image off. joe biden, according to reuters and his last phone call to ask our president,
3:07 pm
gone before couple fell and gone. the data runner, the american president, couldn't one anyway, 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, 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 at different pages than each which is hard when the picture is clear, this one for everyone to see. you start to get really questionable stuff. 5 is extraordinary success. and 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 listing there, boys, johnson is going in this direction. what we're saying is, i've got this don cotton lurch back into becoming a breeding ground of terror. kind of a cut become a narco state. goes,
3:08 pm
have got to be educated up to the age of 18 because as the afghanistan to bulk 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 selling the kind of bound to up 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 to collapse after 20 years in 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 gland standing, flashing, the liberal. all that is just for show off to you, messed up
3:09 pm
a country and scott offered 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, julie asking the ton of monthly gun effect and john, did americans during the evacuation of combo, bring them gently to the britain, m 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, not in 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 where with hundreds of american citizens and afghans been thesis left stranded in afghanistan, washington as promising to look at all possible options to get them out of the
3:10 pm
country. but it's not the only problem. the u. s. is left behind after 20 years of conflict. in the 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 afghan stand and eventually they acquire these weapons. the
3:11 pm
majority of every member behind me is a 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 humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the half the population need few monetary and a system $1.00 and $3.00. don't know where the next meal will come from me more the republican party appears to poise to capitalize in the upcoming mid term elections . following a dime, turn in support for joe biden, looking at that his callup more than a 100 americans left behind that afghan,
3:12 pm
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 in chief afghanistan cannot be as a terrorist based for terrorism. we cannot get everybody out dozens, and dozens of us that is 20 or 40 and they never open. mission hasn't failed. it reason failure? what does 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 thought along our side behind bravely,
3:13 pm
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 by mouth. 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. i 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
3:14 pm
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 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.
3:15 pm
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 for a very small handful of incredibly powerful people that run washington d. c. of mounting criticism at home wasn't enough. joe biden is also seeing relations feel the strain with one of america's biggest allies for each senior government ministers, a calling into question washington's global status. following the events in afghanistan, a superpower, that is also not preferred to stick at something,
3:16 pm
isn't probably superpower either. 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 that we fought, 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 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. 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,
3:17 pm
including the withdrawal of support for the african army, saying that essentially once that was withdrawn, it was never ball, but they would lay down their arms and give up the fight for a couple 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 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 have been 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
3:18 pm
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 and public eyes as possible. britain is not alone in questioning future lines on the united states, because toppy you officials also say that they come bank on america's military muscle on the block should 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 their capacity to be able to act autonomous leave when and where necessary and not to be dependent on the charges 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
3:19 pm
new, but what many now for you is that the u. s. isn't unreliable partner. and this is one idea. gaining traction. me to the home. i go the u. s, this is tired and doesn't want to be the guardian over the world any more. for last year war enough goes done. there's a life. the americans lied 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 to very carefully analyze the you possibilities, though with voices only echoed what some you need 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,
3:20 pm
that you must twice for greater decision making to autonomy and 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 that intervening international crises, previous efforts controlling the military might have ended in failure. the
3:21 pm
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 that 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 on some defensive experts to remove any in you all me is a known starter for an operation such as the recreation from bu such lodge viscous organization as they used to slow for that countries must join forces in opportunity collisions. the whole thing is that i thought was
3:22 pm
a wake up call to the new and it found itself blocking in military friends and military mind 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 get. i mean america is, is falling back behind its own borders. they become isolationist, 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 natal still alive? while the break up of afghan, astonishing nobody's interest. that's the message from vladimir putin who has
3:23 pm
described the u. s. federal process as a catastrophe, the russian president was addressing a major economic form which is currently taking place in the russian far east and city of the vosta oak district. what's happened in afghanistan is indeed a catastrophe. slower, it's not my word. it's american analysts saying it's americans are pragmatic people and have spent over $1.00 trillion dollars on the afghan campaign. but towards the end, there is none. and this is a humanitarian catastrophe as well. if you look at the number of people left there, 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
3:24 pm
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 eastern, 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 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 sat 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
3:25 pm
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. 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 that support in trying to persuade other members of the council in removing di status, russia and china also eager to explore a chance for peace and have janice and both have that own separate negotiation tracks with, 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
3:26 pm
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 or not, despite the fact that all those great powers have very different jaundice in again this 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. nothing either tonight for police officers have been injured in clashes with anti vaccine protests as he did try to storm the headquarters that the case medicines regulator the
3:27 pm
the is what the crime descended on medicines and health care products, regulatory agency and protests. the vaccination of children against cobit last month dissimilar demonstration. so protestors find storm what they thought was to be the c headquarters, but was in fact building the broadcast vacation community stopping attack. and he said, and his last 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 ice is inspired extremist. witnesses described what happened? the 2 ladies, what ladies part of me just went to debbie. neither will allow for and then i just realized that, oh my god, i have to run
3:28 pm
a lot of people run up to me and says just one, just one guy. the stepping up one 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. well, 3 of the 6 people in jude are in a critical condition, the attackers for lincoln man who had been on a security threat less since 2016 shot dead by police in the store had previously been arrested for planning an attack. after which he was closely monitored, security and anti terror expert david lo believes attacks like this are hard to prevent and also believes 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 shopping blade instruments. it's very, very difficult to have everybody completely on this about 24 hours. again, we're seeing islamic state who in spite of these attacks and of course,
3:29 pm
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, and travel over that frustrating counts. but the other factors, if they've got a degree of stability, they can get media ministry running again. there is effective as it was. there's just coming to harp os 10 here in the evening and moscow. good to have you company . ah, we'll have more news feed and the headlines to in about half an oh, the the
