cnn has the latest from kabal. anna?rate across afghanistan, the french embassy here in kabal is calling on all its citizens to leave the country. the french government is organizing a special flight on saturday to take the entire french community back to france. the embassy says anyone who is not on that flight, they will not be able to ensure their safe departure. it comes as the taliban is making sweeping gains across the country. there is fierce fighting going on at the moment in the southern part of the country as militants try to take that city. the ministry of defense says the afghan national security forces are launches operations around afghanistan. in the last 24 hours have killed more than 300 members of the taliban. but it is the civilians who are suffering. unhcr is warning of a looming humanitarian crisis and says that more than 270,000 people have been displaced this year. and cnn has learned that a high-level delegation will be flying to meet with the taliban for peace talks. it will be the first time sin

he said he believes the afghan security forces can protect kabal. >> we shall see.r national security adviser to then president trump, the former u.s. ambassador john bolton. he's the author of the book "the room where it happened." thanks so much for joining us. as you know, president biden says there are already members of the u.s. military whose parents fought in afghanistan 20 years ago. sending another generation to fight won't change the outcome there. how do you respond to that? >> this is a terribly misguided decision. he's misstated the purposes of the conflict. he's misstated the circumstances. and i fear he's misstated the likely outcome here. look, the american's security interest involved is protects not the people of afghanistan, but the people of united states, the innocent civilians here that could be at risk from terrorist attacks in what will very likely be a taliban-controlled afghanistan. is he just playing foreign policy one day at a time? >> the white house points to the decision by the trump administration to leave afghanistan in may, saying t

they can go and give the big speeches about the kabal and say we need to rile people up. we need to get people ready to take over the school boards. they will post that on their instagram later on. they are using michael flynn's rally crying to take over the school boards. run for school board. run for public office. we need to get involved in tegs of our children. right now on top of the biggest qanon message board, that's what you'll see. you'll see the quote from mike anyone saying run for school board. >> the through line here is to say that white america's children are being polluted, their mind, bodies by the woke mob. by the left. by the multicultural party and it's a threat. it sounds like the reconstruction era like the black and tan republicans were a threat because they were polluting the minds of white women and children. it's very 1860s. there's this other headline that we have now that fbi actually managed to, i guess sort of infiltrate this bible study group that became a cover for violent malitia plans. this northern virginia lee is accused of building up

if the taliban takes kabal, will the biden administration recognize it as the legitimate government of afghanistan? will we shudder our embassy and aid programs? the reality is they do not know. they cannot say. there is no plan. it is not courageous to abandon our allies. that is a view many democrats said they held when the last president considered withdrawing from syria and afghanistan. host: senator mcconnell from late may on the senate floor about plans for getting out of afghanistan. this is off of twitter. a viewer says as a veteran, i understand the toll but there is a way to draw down. there is a chaotic approach. it should have been more gradual. maybe september 1 of next year. this is bob from missouri supporting withdrawal. from j.t. in kentucky, also supporting the president's pullout of troops. trillions of dollars wasted, thousands of americans dead, 20,000 wounded. those are some of the thoughts off our social media sites, particularly amongst veterans of the afghanistan war. if you want to comment, call and let us know your thoughts. a supporter of the president's dec

the taliban are yet to seize any provincial capitols, but here we are in kabal.s 10 to 15 kilometers away. they are continuing to release propaganda video on a daily basis. this is another war that is ongoing. and the most recent video shows the taliban, as they claim, taking another district as well as seizing equipment from the afghan national security forces, equipment, i should add, jake, that is u.s.-funded. >> thanks so much. we'll be right back. rugs starting at $39.99. but you'll make 'em look like a million bucks. home. there's no place like it. cookies and breyers. that's like getting two desserts! wait... do we have to thank our moms twice? i don't know...

intelligence is warning that the taliban could soon have a strangle hold on much of afghanistan, maybe even kabal? what are the potential implications by this complete u.s. military withdrawal and nato withdrawal from afghanistan by the end of august? >> well, i think it is a potential strategic disaster. i think the risk for the situation in afghanistan right now is not that there is going to be a civil war between taliban and the current afghan government. s is that the afghan national army will just collapse. that moral is so bad as the u.s. and nato have gone as you say as we pull our interpreters and others that worked with us, people will will conclude we will not help them and they will be at the mercy of the taliban. what's bad for the united states is what comes after that. if taliban return to power, allow isis and al-qaeda to use their territory as a sanctuary, we could be vulnerable to another 9/11 attack. >> that's all very, very worrisome. ambassador bolton, thanks very much for joining us. >>> coming up, experts say japan is dangerously unprepared for the summer olympics set to beg

we're in kabal with new evidence of the taliban's atrocities.warn our viewers what you are about to watch is disturbing. >>. >> reporter: after two hours of heavy fighting, afghan commandos walk out with hands in the air. surrender, commander surrender yells a tall ban member. but the rules of war don't exist on this battlefield. seconds later, more than a dozen members of the elite special forces have been executed. the red cross confirmed the bodies of 22 commandos were retrieved. a villager pleads with the taliban to stop killing. cnn has spoken to five eye witnesses to this massacre, which occurred last month in a district of fayed province in northern afghanistan. all confirm these events took place. the commandos called for air and ground support, but none came. then they surrendered, but the taliban shot them. among the dead, the son of a retired afghan general. this born leader did his military training in the united states and was due to marry his american fiance next month. his father said sir rob tried to call in air support during th

any thought in to this and there are thousands and thousands of people there that can't come in to kabal argument about getting out of afghanistan. hoping it will be an outcome. sending another generation of soldiers in there. but on the other side, what is the danger of afghanistan falling? >> well, many. aside from the horrible outcome for the translators and all of the people that work for us, which is a moral failing. it sends a message to the rest of the world. who will work with us again if this is what you do with the people that signed contracts, risked their lives, went on missions and you leave them to die. afghanistan itself, the taliban are using this as an enormous rallying cry. already they are about 22 different extremist groups that operate in the region and they are coming to join the party. they want to see the taliban victory. the taliban is going to be able to say for generations to come it pushed out the united states. it did what isis and al qaeda could not do. it will be the champion of extremist groups. that does a lot of damage. encourages extremists and could de
