a life and death situation. we've asked us the gm exactly how many there are. but reports suggest around $500.00 employees and their families remain a situation. republicans describe as disgraceful. my office was working with one of these journalists and tried for 2 weeks to get attention brought his case. so he, his wife and his infant child could be saved, but our police were ignored. it's absolutely disgraceful. the us state department claimed they evacuated the local employees when in reality they abandoned hundreds of usa gm journalists and their families. a scrambled evacuation terrorist attacks a couple airport and a government that doesn't exactly love the us state department. it's a horrifying situation. it's a horrifying ideal. i mean, we've essentially our government essentially left these people to be murdered, slaughtered by the taliban. these people were as seen by taliban. they were us propaganda agents hired and paid by the us government to to report news favorable
5:09 pm
to democracy, to, to the west, to the u. s. government. and now we've just abandoned them. this is unconscionable . it's immoral. it's disgusting because the american people do not think of their government as a sort of government that would do something like that. and yet, here we are, the sort of people who have been a top priority to getting out of afghanistan along with others who have been in the cross hairs of the taliban. and now they're essentially stuck and left to fend on their own. it's going to be very difficult to get others trust united states government. but then again, you know, our military industrial complex of all the money in the world. so, you know, you can always at the prices, right? so it might step up to the plate and do it. well, we have the federal u. s. agency for global media to comment on this story. and we'll let you know when we get a reply. not people being left behind isn't the only source of disapproval for the u. s. government over the africa. understand tobacco reportedly more than 100 dogs,

a couple small animal rescue sources for this or the pentagon in the department of defense, folk person. the dogs in the picture are actually in the care of cobbled small animal rescue and animal welfare organization. the 1st casualty of war though, in truth and the fate of the dogs in the cages, is still a mystery. i was talking to ortiz, mariah garcia, he's one of the early reporters on the ground in capital. and he told me that it's still not clear whose dog sees why and why they were left behind. you don't such a large one kind of an official apparent. he told me that they'll retrain and re deploy the dog to work for them. instead they're still running around the perimeter of the airport and the taliban. ah. but taliban has contracted animal control dog control to catch them. i know they say they haven't sentence them to death,
5:12 pm
just like with the war itself. america just call when online right now. earlier in august when actual footage of us service dogs being evacuated from capital, did you have comments that american dogs lives were more precious than those of afghan human? u. k. government came on defy a couple of weeks ago as well, primarily being too slow to help with the evacuation of a 150 cats and dogs from a campbell animal shelter run by an expert marine corps pen valving. when one conservative politician, you will so happens to be an afghan war that trent was questioned about that this was his difficulties getting people into and out the airport. and we just use a lot of troops to bring in 200 dogs. meanwhile, my interpreters family likely to be killed as one interpreter of me a few days ago was my 5 year old with less than 5 point. now while the us is

5:14 pm
a court in munich. now he was sentenced to 8 years in 3 months for crime. he was deported to afghanistan back in 2019. we have heard from the interior ministry previously saying that there was no way to carry out checks on the ground in cobble for exactly who was getting on german evacuation flights. some of them totally falsified their papers from a to said. there was an emergency in cabal, and such situations are always exploited by criminals. the german government identifies around $40000.00 people still in afghanistan that it says should be able to come here to germany. when you look at about 4 and a half 1000 people that have already been evacuated though, well, when it comes to the people that angular merkle said would have priority. that people who would work directly with german military, german, diplomat for german,
5:15 pm

5:16 pm
here on evacuation flights now. as soon as the cargo airport is reopened, we are expecting more hoping that more of those people can come here to germany. however, as it stands at the moment, you're seeing germany having missed its target for people, it wanted to evacuate from afghanistan by 90 percent, and also having issues with those who have been able to come here on the evacuation flights that have already arrived. meanwhile, turkey has reinforced this eastern board with the ran to prevent an influx of refugees crossing over from afghan stan and new 150 kilometer wall. in the van province stands 3 meters high. hades topped with barbed wire and patrolled around the clock. so it comes to the messaging service, quote, stop gets a massive find european union. what it does to, to use this data back with the details to
