5:01 pm
african crisis says no one what's happened in us get this done is indeed a catastrophe. americans are pragmatic people and have spent over $1.00 trillion dollars on the afghan campaign. but to spend ah, hello, there is midnight here in moscow. you watching us into national. not the taliban trying to be in full control. soft gun stand tonight after reading the last pocket of resistance in the country. thousands of anti taliban fighters had formed a stronghold in the eastern pan. she proven scenario, which has seen fierce fighting in recent days, reporting from bull, his murdered gas, the f. what kind of button? incredible is absolutely sure. the. they have taken punchy province. the gunfire
5:02 pm
celebratory gun father was it was a rule coming from all over the city. the hundreds, perhaps thousands of rifles being fired and the race around screaming through the scot. they came absolutely sure that taliban had said yes, we have taken the entirety of a punch in 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 negotiate between the taliban. we as you tell about policies and paget proven those negotiations, fell through the taliban, saying that the demands made by the, by the flight. does that work completely unreasonable? they allegedly demand that 30 percent of ministerial roles and any new governments
5:03 pm
30 percent minister position. we have heard from one source that that rule of padre province has been taken. but that the taliban had broken through defences that many of the fighters that had surrendered to have agreed to read this to the taliban. and the negotiations were on the 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 all taliban propaganda that the know with the they hadn't broken through the problem to that it's, it was still entirely held entirely held by the anti taliban forces. and the they were putting up
5:04 pm
a fight and that they were fighting the kind of bug. so that is their perspective. but certainly here in capital, you get more gunshots. they have quite in doubt. you use there is absolute surety that yes, the province has fallen. in fact, the one of the taliban spokespeople official has come out and said, worldwide, there's urged flight this here and coupled to stop flowering into the air because it is dangerous because those bullets when, when fired upward, they must come down with and they could injure or hurt me more, president biden is hitting you losing home with only 43 percent of americans approving of his performance according to a recent national poll, that's his worst writing since he started the job time 6 percent after the chaotic withdrawal from cabal. so how could the administration win back the hearts and minds of the voters? our c columnist simon writes, gives us his take areas then the last us soldier to leave afghanistan,
5:05 pm
major general chris donahue, of the 82nd. soon 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 real battle for us got installing has been lost by the u. s . than 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 don't 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 serendipity, his payoff to it, and heroic green. then out into the well, the media will globally and without question, say stuff like this, the last american soldier to leave afghanistan, us noted to me that the last american troops left can attend. i mean, come on, you think this is really bizarre, us don't do enough guns. we will not forgive. we will not forget.
5:06 pm
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 k pop or special case on how he's ordered as strikes for whenever they pop on what it might be. hard to believe, given the 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 the law us soldier enough can install it. 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,
5:07 pm
helpful. so 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 barton'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 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 that guns don canton looked back into becoming a breeding ground of terror. get his tongue, a cut 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 is anything like when they get rid of
5:08 pm
western nations, they're 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 van to uphold human rights, fight terrorism? evade sure they're listening at this point to china. russia abstain 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 order is just to show off the math of the country and scarlet . 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 us
5:09 pm
military. julie asking the taliban, mostly you gotta 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, not the un. 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 last thing, you can sac and she hasn't always stepped aside from private and diplomatic conversations. although she has described biden's afghanistan, phone core, it's private, back in 2019, she gave a very different reaction to translate call with the cranes present for me. so landscape. it is not just the coal transcript, there was
5:10 pm
a lower complaint would likely have more details. we need both and not just the call or from was accused of soliciting a foreign leader to turn on biden ahead of the election. transcript of the call with silent sky revealed that from had asked him to pro ukrainian energy firm that biden's son worked for joe biden has repeatedly denied those suggestions that either he or his son had peddled influence. however, journalist daughter, the news are to say there's hypocrisy at play. the obvious level standard, but the, the administration is clearly embarrass, doesn't want too much information getting out and doesn't want to many tough question. so jen to sanky is stonewalling as best you can. there's also a problem you had 20 years of just catastrophic failure, where the u. s. know repeatedly again and again ignored sign that, that of growing weakness among the afghans that a powerful levels of corruption. the government was just like,
5:11 pm
no going through the, the motion of fighting the taliban. and meanwhile, you know, real conditions on the ground were growing worse and worse. but the u. s. managed to ignore it for 2 full decades. that is the real level of scandal. well, with the hundreds of american citizens and africans with phases, left stranded in afghanistan, washington is promising to look at all possible options to get them out of the country. but it's not the only problem. the u. s. has left behind after 20 years of conflict. i i tell it now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the
5:12 pm
world. i 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 the taliban in charge with most more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open ah,
5:13 pm
a humanitarian catastrophe. loons in afghanistan on the half the population need to monetary and one and 3 don't know where the next to me you will come from me while the republican party looked set to capitalize at the upcoming mid term elections. following it down to an in support for biden, looking at that his color multi more than $100.00 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 afghans, dan cannot be as a terrorist for terrorism. we cannot get everybody out dozens and dozens of us in plenty or for the game. never own mission hasn't failed.
5:14 pm
it. reason failure. what does 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 says that impeachment is not on the table, but he couldn't hide the fact, but some democrats are starting to get caught under the collar. well, look, the president is not going to be removed from office. it's a democratic house, narrowly democrats, senate have a feeling, the american people didn't think they voted for this government. it's grosser
5:15 pm
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 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
5:16 pm
and made the country look weak and that has intensified divisions in the country. over all the white house is a pretty weak spot where 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
5:17 pm
american people for a very small handful of incredibly powerful people that run washington d. c. but if 19 criticism at home wasn't enough, biden is also seeing. we're like now express time about washington status around the world. 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 that the fort, 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,
5:18 pm
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 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 able that 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 in 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 you pay for the devastating bombing, or at least some of the worst aspects of the bombing applicable airport. saying
5:19 pm
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 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 does not willing that i need try to rid themselves of as much responsibility in public eyes as possible. well, but he is not alone in questioning, future reliance on the united states because top you officials have also said that they can't bank on america's military muscle and that the blog should develop its own defense capabilities. as time has shown deficiencies in our strategic autonomy comes with a price, we need to increase the capacity to be able to act autonomous leave when and where
5:20 pm
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 new, but what many now feel is that the u. s. unreliable partner and this is one idea. 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 anymore. the last for the year war enough goes done. there's a life. the americans lied 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 capacities and to very carefully analyze the you possibilities, though with voices only echoed what some you need being saying now there is
5:21 pm
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 to know the search just political event to rest, 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 tip abilities. while they might be working with the oven in you all, you even a common defense policy. how likely is it? well covered 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.
5:22 pm
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 that an e u military force would effectively duplicate the work already carried out by nito, 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 said to remove in you all me is a known starter for an operation such as the recreation from bu such lodge
5:23 pm
viscous organization. as they used to slow for that countries must join forces, inopportune seeker listens. the whole thing that is that i got a song was a wake up call for the new and it found itself lacking 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, is falling back behind its own borders. they become isolationist. to get both republicans and democrats. you see, you can have your opinion, 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
5:24 pm
a good idea. it's a, it's a real basic question that they're looking at. is nato still alive? now the breakup of afghanistan is not in anybody's interest. that's the message from vladimir putin who slammed the u. s. patrol as a catastrophe. the russian president was addressing a major economic form currently taking place in the far east in russian city, a flat off stock district to let the trophy 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 $15.00 trillion dollars on the afghan campaign. but to what end is, there is none. this is a humanitarian catastrophe as well. if you look at the number of people left, the people who worked for the western forces, i hope the west will come to understand their old policy, namely,
5:25 pm
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 forum. 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 that 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
5:26 pm
a unanimous vote by the same un security council. and this is exactly what logic put in sap today. anybody can failure 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 taliban 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 descend. gracie, 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 status. russia and china also eager to
5:27 pm
explore a chance for peace and have janice and both have that own separate negotiation tracks. 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 its eager in getting international support is eager in trying to move the development and the reconstruction of afghanistan. i had and believe it or not, despite the fact that all those great powers have very different agendas in august . and it seems that with the time being they, you want to try something new in the country. and hopefully that will come about in the next few months. of course, the forum there was mostly dedicated to global economic issues and india prime
5:28 pm
minister used his address to highlight that friendship with russia can bring stability to the global market. we talk more about this within the minister of petroleum and natural gas, the scope or increasing the cooperation between the russian federation and india is immense. i just give you an example. we are to 85 percent dependent on on imports, product wideman in both liquid hydrocarbons and got how much comes from russia just by we have an example one percent of the liquid hydrocarbons and a half percent of gas. so you've got the roadmap in terms of the potential, of course, these are commercial arrangements at the end of the day. we would want to set to both sides with one long term agreement, which provides predictability stability. provided the prices i but i think what makes it possible when you have both political commitment and the company's working i in the meetings i've had in the last 2 days, i did not hear
5:29 pm
a single note off. you know, discard everybody says it's an important relationship. it has great potential and it should be work. not the news tonight for police officers have been injured in clashes with anti vaccine protest as you've tried to storm the headquarters of the case medicines regulator the the dr. depending on the medicines and health care products, regulatory agency, reportedly in protest against the vaccination of children against coven, last month of similar demonstration. so protested, try to storm what they thought was the b b. c. headquarters. and in fact,
5:30 pm
he was building the pool. cast the had vacated years to get so that brings you up today. you watch 19 to national mass i things are looking. we'll have more in about half of oh, i think one might indeed gets up again with a great decision over the last 30 years. it, it was the 1st decision which didn't follow the course of the events and history was an attempt to change the course. and the biggest task over the ship is to contradict history is to change the historical part from the national foreign point.
