we haven't heard from the foreign secretary and about a week despite this being the biggest single foreign policy dissolve this and suez . so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking. while his handling of the crisis in afghanistan has really gone from bad to worse. in fact, he's now saying and advising that, anybody that still need to leave ask on a stone would probably be better off, going to a neighboring country to try and return to safety here in the united kingdom. however, of course, i easier said than done considering the taliban operating board checkpoints and really is putting a lot of trust in the taliban to uphold that side of the deal. allowing any safe passage to anybody that wishes to leave. it does come. of course, the britain promised that all you k citizens all u k. nationals, and indeed all of those assisted and the occupation assisted the british army and the occupation over the last 18 years would be able to return to the united kingdom . however, as the weeks and days then passed, many ministers in parliament was saying, not everybody would be able to get out.

many high level foreign guests were also spotted there, along with a large contingent of foreign soldiers marching through independent square. local media reported a man tried to set himself on fire during the event, but was quickly dealt with by police officers. his condition that the states though, is not yet known. now let's cross live to russia. abolition. awesome. recall the high that martin, i would you describe modern day ukraine? would you say it's the nation? what would you say is the nation's greatest achievement of the last 30 years? the greatest achievement of the nation is ready to be a nation still and to be independent because we go back 30 years that were very high, hoped for ukraine with those folks. and they've been realized because this really to, they're dirty to ukraine. they split between russian speakers and ukrainian speakers . and this gulf is why in the last 3 years and has in fact made life very difficult for the president. the economy has not inside dumb, as well as one would have expected, but the one success stories, agriculture. where they, they, that's pati

s. foreign policy. well, recent moves in afghanistan are certainly not an argument in jo biden's favor. you know, it's hard to know what's going through biden's mind because he does change his mind on strategic issues and he doesn't have any clear set of guiding principles when it comes to foreign affairs. yes it's, it's somewhat of a crisis, but the crisis happened a long time ago when democrats stopped supporting a non interventionist military policy when, when democrats were all in favor of going into iraq and going into afghanistan and when they supported hillary clinton and obama, when we when the united states military got involved in libya and other places, they already lost the logical battle they are in a crisis happens. so this is just another symptom of bad policies within the democratic party. and the democratic party losing the good things that it ever had that it stood for. meanwhile, you laid is a growing increasingly worried about how the situation is developing enough gone, it's gone. a

in american foreign policy time and again. going in, intervening in foreign lands. sending american boots on the ground in order to reinvent countries, draft a western vision of democracy. he was very clear about this. he said it is not just about afghanistan. it is really also about ending an era in which america's foreign-policy was predicated on this notion of trying to remake other countries in america's image when something very closely approaching that. he was very clear in future missions, america should basically said very clear, the key word he used, achievable goals. not ones that we will never achieve, that we will not reach. he suggested afghanistan was a war -- the mission was defined as one to topple the taliban, drive out osama bin laden, which was ultimately done. it must has to sized like a cancer and became a mission, a nation remaking mission, a mission that soft a total victory over the perceived adversary, the taliban. and a new and better afghanistan for the future. he would probably see it as a speech with a large dose of realism and pragmatis

it seems like the ukrainian foreign ministry is kind of arguing with itself earlier today. the deputy foreign minister came out with a faith and saying that their flights to their creation, flights from against and to ukraine were unsuccessful. but more than that, he claimed that one of the plains was actually hijacked by armed persons and then later was practically stolen. and flown through iran last sunday. our plan was hijacked on tuesday. the plane was practically stolen from us again. it flew to run with an identified group of passengers on board instead of lifting ukrainians. our next 3 evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport, that kind of faith and that started all this confusion. it was extremely technical, is extremely on specific. what kind of plane is it a military planes that are passenger plane? these had 3 flights with harmony. planes. are we talking about? assuming it's one then. the question is, where is this hijacked plane? who is anybody looking for it? because a hijacked planes, a serious security ris
