if i, connie received a little teachers to buy drinks, vito, whatever launch or something the life i just made a decision, i just hit the tree. this goes, so i think i said, hustling, i said, making things happen for the time in 1995. i left school. i didn't want the country. i tried everything. i tried flaw from plane to drummed clean the keyboard to clean the base. it all committed. what does that i usually around by doing so i wanted to see the doctor yesterday. i never had so much been in my life before about 2 weeks. i should be fine. do that? how does but have been, it's been the committee or we have an injury on your feet if you would, if i find any more. so right now for the next 2 weeks, call me to sit down to think it's a very broad okay. come on. i know 5 full, 3212. and it was the club. the whole $32.00, thanks. hi, my name is bright. you pretty much up for me. what the government? yes it will. oh my only so bad mouth is when you could. i mean, somebody doesn't hold anything back, which is like the basket basket doesn't hold water. and when i decide to go with name, baske

i. connie told al jazeera, the movement is unified and will decide on who leads the country. charlotte sat down with him in couple, lou muscular sharper, one, sunk. the problem in is going to stand was because if foreign is now the biggest goal is achieved, and assa connie tells us from his new accommodation and a leafy suburb in western cobble hare, he is a diplomat talking with former government leaders to encourage them to join and you tell a bon government still, he's wanted by the us, which calls him a terrorist. and as also under un sanctions, the taliban of phil, organizing the government. but what are the aims of the government? the 1st she was that she over all to maintain and be faithful to what we were fighting for, to serve the afghan people to serve as slum. the people who were working towards the school have been fighting for 20 years, have given their lives, lost family members, and have been locked inside jails. who connie himself was imprisoned for 5 years and seen him to death. he was released 2 years ago to accelerate stored peace talks with the us in cutter. do you know

i found president touches connie has left the country soon after assuring citizens of their safety in the face of a taliban takeover. as more provincial capitals and board coffee for the taliban against time to talk for a transition of power and a taliban spokesman, telephone. just the road. those who works with the government, the military will be offered amnesty in other news rescue teams and haiti look for survivors. such a powerful earthquake killed more than 300 people, 12 anger in lebanon, not to dozens, and kills in a fuel tank or exclusion. oh, well, was a capital surrounded by taliban fighters and his government all but fallen off. and president connie has left the country top official, abdullah abdullah, is among those to confirm the news. referring to connie as the former president's combo streets tens, despite the taliban or dreg. it's finances to stay on the outskirts of the city for negotiations are held on a transfer of power. many fear a return of the brutal taliban rule of the past. the group is trying to be assured people of the kind of government it will lead, say,

so rahman and devon, reminder of all these stories, the gun president, i shall, connie has visited the government's last northern stronghold as the taliban closes in nice trying to rally troops to defend the city of missouri. sharif, the biggest in northern i got a son. if the city falls, the government would lose control of the region of kind of suns, interior minister has told down to 0 that government forces are pushing to secure main highways. large cities and border crossings. local groups are being given to fight back the.

will we hear anything more from a shop, connie? i think it seems very unlikely despite he says, there'll be another episode that he's going to play any important role in the future of afghanistan. now is he also slightly misinterpreting the events that took place over the past? what, particularly the last week, james, maybe the last 2 weeks and he said, what happened should have led to an end to the war. because whilst yes, it was being labeled, particularly where you are by some of the american networks as being a war. another war and i've got a storm, they were large areas where it was actually more of a drive by shooting on the part of the taliban because the african security apparatus was turning tail and running. it was taking off its uniforms or it was even being kind of subscript it if you will, or subscribe into being part of the tongue about absolutely such surprising events and such speed to all of that. he may have been referring to that. i think he's also possible he was referring to what should have happened to the p ste

because when i ref, connie took over the presidency. he tried to bring in this kind of paradigm shift almost in the relationship between islamabad and carpool. he was tilting towards pakistan basically saying implicitly saying, i want you to be involved in afghanistan. and then phosphor would 4 or 5 years. and the taliban a doing what they've been doing over the past few weeks. well, that's an excellent question. actually. there was a move by both sides to normalize relations, but there was also a faction within the government redraw against rapprochement red. but just on and day of god, what advising sharp rodney otherwise, but the fact remained that iran khan had said all along that whatever solution happens inside of one, it's donna has to be gone. lead. i've gone on and gone for just started to fade defeat after defeat. that was the blame game. many thing that the $1.00 bond was propped up where they explode, saved from budget audio daughter gauge, and they were pushing for the friendship of ever. everybody found out that the army, w

heard the african president national connie has just published a facebook post saying that he left the country in order to avoid bloodshed. so we are hearing now from i shot connie, who at one time, was sitting behind that desk in the presidential palace being occupied by several taliban faces. i was still on these exclusive pictures i had over the presidential palace. oh, some of the taliban. we've heard of played a very savvy social media game. they've also been very keen to get the message across that they are respecting the they want to respect the rights of, of the afghan people. they want to protect women, protect schools, basically showing a very different a different face to what people might associate with the taliban of 20012002 so on. are you, are you reassured by these these promises that the taliban have been issuing over the last over the last hours and days? you know, the proof is in the pudding. so it really depends on the behavior and the action and ultimately their policy. and you know, it's, it's one thing to, to make those pledges at this stage. it's another thing been to actually execute and implement those. i think it's very, it

the foreign ministry says i shall connie and his family are in upper darby on humanitarian grounds. while the toddler bomb has taken charge of the country, we're still waiting to hear the makeup of a future. government taught bon says it will be inclusive. on wednesday, a member of the taliban political office and how connie was pictured meeting national reconciliation, chairman of de la bella and the former president. i mean to cut assign cobble. natalia bonds co founder and political chief has returned to afghanistan after finally but other arrived to a crowd of supporters in the heart, the birthplace of the tale. bon. but all the lead, the groups negotiators in talks with the u. s. and afghan government, earlier in the day, but all that met called those foreign minister before leaving where those talks had been held. it was freed from a prison in pakistan at the request of the us 3 years ago. the also taking power in cobble the african taliban is now in talks with the pakistani government. come on. hi. there has more on that from humble the crossing. a sunnier of won delegation c

i struck, connie addressed the nation. the taliban have always refused to go. she with the government as long as connie is at the helm, that holly can meet the castle. i know you are worried. i assure you as your president, my focus is to prevent further instability, violence, and displacement in mind. as my responsibility, i will try to prevent this war from killing more innocent people from that. and the taliban is circling with every provincial capital. it takes the government's leverage lessons and or chappelle, i'll do here with his the math off afghanistan as it stands right now. the gray shows the areas under taliban control. the yellow shows areas on the government control. and these have been shrinking by the day, as shown in red hang in the balance will thousands of us troops will soon be enough, got installed to help evacuate american diplomatic personnel will have more than that with mike hannah, who is law for us in washington, dc. but 1st, let's go straight to couple and speak to the correspondence charlotte balice. charlotte fastly bring us up to

i shall, connie spoke publicly for the 1st time and date of loss is for the government pledging not to give up 2 decades of gains. we'll have more on that shortly 1st. so rob mcbride updates us from cobble and what the form of missouri shareef means. the biggest shock is this loss. apparently all research has been developing this saturday evening. it's now nearly midnight's local time. it does come as a big blow to the government. do you remember when the taliban 1st emerged in the 1990? that's what the 25 years ago now within the door that you had the most resistance to the taliban that eventually became with guns. the northern alliance. and really it's shocked. many people have not got this done. i think the international community, the way that as the taliban has spread throughout africa and it's done is taken over as provincial capitals the way that the north as seemingly capitulated just last. all of these provincial capitals accept form. adobe suite 9 bizarre we should, we was still the one big hold out. it was almost like a full to city of the government in the north, just 2 day

i struck connie basically ignoring what's going on and same business as usual, which has been the sort of tone from the government that try not to worry people, but certainly the public hearing this news. and a lot of what happens from now in africa, assault is not just based on the military facts on the ground. it's pay based on perception because many of the places, particularly north africa, stuff where the taliban took control in recent weeks. it was actually the african military laying down the roms and surrendering. and so you need, i think if you're going to fight the taliban and you are, i should have gone to find a way to boost the morale of your people. i should have got, he has announced that he's going to boost the salaries for the security forces. it's not clear whether we're going to get some sort of new strategy from the african president announced. i know there are many in the international community who wants him to firmly come up with a new strategy and announce a new strategy. but for now, they're waiting times based reporting that from cobble thanks very much. james

i shall, connie has told parliament the country is facing a state of aggression by taliban forces which are attacking several cities. he also repeated how his government was being surprised by how quickly us forces withdrawing. think much of the current situation is down to this. connie said his government has a plan to bring things under control within 6 months, but didn't go into detail. in the past 24 hours, the army group has moved in from the outskirts to the major heart of cities such as lasker, gar, and can home situation. industrial gar is particularly fragile with the ongoing, moving in closer to major government buildings. have also been asked strikes and fighting and head off and in dangle in the east. let's go to james. they thought diplomatic editor who's in cobble right now, a lot to actually get through when it comes to the speed of development overnight and into the warning, james. yes, things appear to be intensifying, particularly in helen's capital, provincial capital, helmand lash, could gar, we only guessing occasional communications from the brave journalists who a

hundreds of thousands of africa and flee their homes trying to find safety elsewhere. president, i shall have connie is determined that the taliban will not win to an accident. i am not going to allow this imposed worn out nation to lead to more bloodshed and to losing the gains of our last 2 decades and damages to our public goods. and infrastructure because of this, i've carried out widespread comprehensive consultations with representatives of the people and leaders by hand without international partners in the consultation to be carried out in a speedy manner. and the united states who is sending 3000 troops to speed up the evacuation of its star from the embassy and cobble says it continues to support a political settlement going forward. we're going to do a couple of things. we're going to make sure that a terrorist can't emanate from afghanistan again by maintaining robust over the horizon counterterrorism capabilities. and the reason and we're going to continue to support our afghan partners bilaterally, through maintenance support and financial support. and we're going to continue to, to wa

i should have connie said he is in talk with local and international partners to end the conflict. he spoke as a tolerable and captured 3 more provinces to next. i am not going to allow this imposed war now, nation to lead, to more bloodshed, and to losing the gains of our last 2 decades and damages to our public goods and infrastructure. because of this, i've carried out widespread comprehensive consultations with representatives of the people and leaders by hand without international partner that is all in the consultation to be carried out in a speedy manner. the mind that floods in northern turkey have killed at least 44 people, volunteers, and emergency workers are rushing to supply aid to people. effective, severe damage has been reported in the black sea. town of balls could dozens of bridges and roads have also been destroyed while power has been cut. so hundreds of villages, a so called mega fire has flared up in northern california. dixie is destroy several towns in the sacramento since mid july. the fires around 30 percent contain california is on track now to record its

i think a key question now is how much international support is there really for a shrub, connie? i think that's not really the question. i think any is not the relevant or any more . the question is whether the national community can for amongst enough pressure and what are the bond will actually consider is nationalism it be. and the literacy important enough to make an deal to cobble. and they are broad based, negotiate broad negotiations happening inside the country of the law. the law that every conclusion console is the person talking to different people out the day was meeting with prison from a prison cause i under actors, there is there in the pop up a group and traveling to do odd to finalize the deal the time is running out the government leverage and almost what you're saying is basically the president who's history. everybody knows that the international will is not interested in him. how much then? how much readiness is that in the international will to recognise and deal with a tiny bon dominated if not, tommy bon, entitled, a bon administration in cobble. what's you

when i host a president, connie and chairman of dylan at the white house in june. and again, when i spoke by phone to donnie in july, we had very frank conversations we talked about who are gonna stand, should prepared to fight their civil wars. after the u. s. military departed to clean up the corruption in government. so the government could function for the afghan people. we talked extensively about the need for afghan leaders to unite politically. they fail to do any of that. i also urge them to engage in diplomacy, to seek a political settlement with a tolerable. this advice was flatly refused. mister ghani, insisted the afghan forces would flights and obviously was wrong. so i am left again to ask of those who argue that we should stay. how many more generations, america's daughters and sons, would you have me send to fight afghans? afghanistan's civil war when afghan through for mam, how many more alliance miracle life is it worth? how many endless rows of headstones in arlington, national cemetery? i'm clear on my answer. i will not repeat the mistakes we've

the united states, the president can serve only 2 terms in office, and in september of 2014, i sure off connie, the newly elected president, signed a power sharing agreement with his chief opponent, abdulla dula, who had organized thousands of protesters as he challenged the voting results. despite the truce, the power struggle between ghani and abdul gives taliban strategic advantage. as they start making gains in the countryside. throughout presidency, the taliban were able to strengthen their presence inside afghanistan. in 2017. the u. s. drops on the taliban. a 21000 pound bomb, nicknamed the mother of all bombs. but it doesn't stop militant from growing stronger. eventually, they become so powerful. that ghani was shut out of peace talks between the us and the taliban. in september of 2019, in august of 2021. president ghani once promised to rebuild. afghanistan fled the country. within hours of the taliban entering the country's capital, leaving behind a legacy of unfulfilled promises. following the fall of cable and 2021 cars, i decided to remain in couple but his daughters and he appe

the palace where of course, presidents, the former president, sha connie was i beg your pardon, i just be just a small correction there. this was a handover of the palace and not the power. so there's still some confusion, this error, but that power is sufficient, was handing over the palace to the taliban and over the palace to the taliban. so there's still some confusion about the balance of power who is in charge of afghanistan, but certainly with recent events unfolding the way they have the chaos continues. that certainly very arresting images for you. taliban faces unofficial speaking exclusively to i'll just the or arabic. we have had the palace official hands over the presidential palace to those taliban fighters. remember of course that i think i'm correct and believing that a few hours earlier we had to record statements from asha connie. he was reassuring after civilians that they would be safe and cobble would not fall, presumably recorded inside the walls of that house where we now have i'm being told we have translation. let's listen and hear what's being said inside the

now i don't have a lot of confidence in connie, i said that openly and plainly, i thought he was a total creek and got away with murder, spent all his time wining and dining our senators. the senators were in his pocket, that was the problems that we had and i never liked him. i guess it was a true story, i would suspect it is. look at his lifestyle and he got away with murder in many different ways. this is what i would consider to be much more important in the sense that they were the problem. they were good fighters and they fought hard. you have to remember when they were coming to washington to meet with me they decided to kill an american soldier because they thought that was a good way to negotiate and i canceled the trip. we had a conditions base agreement. if you remember, it said may 1st we want to get out because we have to get out. i listen to people on your show and other shows say we should stay. but they don't know. we were spending 42 billion a year.li think of it, 42 billion. i understand russia spends 50 billion per year for their entire million, we were spending 42 bil

she, tony, the coroner letting her benefit, doctor that i was going over today, connie and tony caught on the market. not too good. yeah, because i'm sure hockey, i'm going to make sure i'm clear. make it clear to myself, committee busy. we get into my final pay, don't make on my screen. if you put the submission with me, what's going on? what's going on? i'm going to want to get his name isn't on the i'm the guy, but i wish it out on me. cool. yeah. when it was just a little a little mean can it was for the extra $400.00 and then you're going to forgive me for me to jump on. we don't want to give us a call hey blevins. michaela sent me the time i thought i went to court order today on the day i did go there was no show last to go over the last on i know, but of course get it when i thought i saw this before, the start off and the prescription again. mm hm. so let me go down to that. do storage. how about that is that you already? i go yeah, godaddy would be, i could do if i got in north dakota, we'll finish it. we can use it if you're not sure it will. it is a current to try it out as

gumption to say that we have a fact problem pretty. >> and they never want to hear i that. >> i walked out and connie gave me a little like good job. if you can do that for other women in your office, it really helps and it talks about your strong voice. andit i think there are women yu admire the state women who are public speakers. kamala harris has great voice. people will listen to her. so if you have a voice this grading on the nerves and this happens among women. we have naturally higher voices. it. >> and people does not like to hear that. but is true. okay let's go back because i love the section of the book. here for a reason, if you're in the room or at the table, you are there and you play your role that will tell one story about the generals and i want you to talk about it more. department of defense pentagon, this room and the classic military, senior military, three and four stars appear pretty do briefings would be by a one star. this is pretty, one star's, jr so secretary one of the table and start to his right and one star nervous and he is going through speaking. first of all i came

with the bus and is until the very last moment, i wondered why they made such incorrect conclusions and forecast before august 15th, when president connie fled in a helicopter with money. they had said that we in our country's proceed from the facts, the garnet with the legitimate president for 5 years. and i no longer knew what to say to them before that for a year. i told them the africans, if they support connie, through high ranking representatives of western countries, told me that they understood that this country supported the taliban, that they understood everything, but they had their own tasks salaries. and they said, we understand that we have to leave. therefore, i was surprised, it was incorrect, conclusions withdrawn, and now apparently they will have to analyze what exactly they did wrong or thursday. it's devastating bomb attack i call for apple was claimed by an islamic state splinter group called isis k. and the aftermath of the atrocity cnn add an interview with the senior, common, not commander, all the of the group. but that's from the questions about the timing of the board cost interview with film just 2 weeks bef

gosh kellum and province of connie's, done. what i was finding out mayor is a south asia security analyst. he says the after the transactions on the battlefield, the fallen show the goblin rhetoric. one of the provincial capitals to fall couldn't do it was one of the 10 cities that the have gone government identified as cities that had wanted to defend. and so, losing condos to the taliban since, you know, an adverse political signal due to supported up the republic, it suggests that the public is on a weaker political and military 14 than it has been cleaning the last few weeks. i think the government is going to try a major offensive then certainly, you know, put up a major effort, but the taliban had experience of gaining and losing condos twice they. they began at once in 2015 and lost it and then began it again in 2016. so my sense is that the taliban have come prepared. they are, they're likely to put up a strong defense. we're going to see a lot more fighting, which will obviously affect a disabled population, which is, which i

didn't have all requirements necessary to get and so fortunately, i had many around me, i remember a woman named connie was an advisor and she was a hispanic lady was like hey, i remember going to her and sang i hate chemistry. i passed it but i didn't like it. this is not the best choice to be signed up for being a chemical engineer. it's like baking, you have to get it exactly right and i hated it. i told her i had to drop out and she's at dropout? you're just a freshman. change your major. [laughter] i didn't know you could do that. just change your major. what you like? i said i left my business class and she said that sounds like a mechanical engineer. i said okay. i'll be a mechanical engineer. [laughter] the reason i came with it as casually as because one i was casual. to because most kids never get that story. they never get it so i learned about engineering when i was a junior, senior in high school. i had never heard of it so i didn't know what they get. i know i like math, i knew i was reasonably good at it and had no idea i was so far behind and then i went to a catholic school. by the way

i love that, i love senator brown and connie helping out. that's great. what was the hardest part of this book to write? i'm assuming it's talking about the crash, but there might be another part you found difficult. my early childhood was hard. and and in the crash, it was the bad guys that, and we landed the bird. it's not me, it's the fact that dan, the pilot of the aircraft, landed that bird in one piece and that's why we're all alive and i want to honor his expertise and he received a distinguished flying cross from his actions on that day and from all of these-- it's not a crash, it's a landing and dan did an amazing effort of piloting. >> and we'll make sure that they-- >> no problem. and probably my early childhood stuff was the hardest to right. and i had wrote about the reliving poverty in hawaii, and only started talking about it in recent years as the nation has been in more of a depression -- a recession and talked about it more and then the fact that i was on food stamps. i was very ashamed of being in on food stamps in my early 20's and 30'

i call him a friend because my wife connie and i, who is in the gallery with our grandson clayton, my wife connie and i walked picket lines with rich trumka, done rallies with rich trumka, spoken on behalf of workers with rich trumka. he was a son of our part of the country -- pennsylvania, west virginia, ohio. coal miner, not just the son of a coral -- coal miner. i believe he told me once the grandson of a coal miner. he embodied the soul of the labor movement. he understood workers. he was for them and of them in ways that our unusual and america in the 21st century. he understood and lived and fought for the dignity of work, the idea that hard work should pay off for everyone. he understood what a woman from southern west virginia said to me some weeks ago at a dignity of work hearing in the banking, housing, and urban affairs committee that i chair. she said the words working and poor should not be in the same sentence. think about that. the words working and poor should not be in the same sentence. rich trumka understood the dignity of work, if you work hard, whether you punch a

i can present us off. connie's told parliament the countries facing a state of aggression by taliban fighters or attacking several cities is also repeated. that is, governments been surprised by how fast us forces are withdrawing. is blaming much of the current situation on the decision to remove the troops. and he says his government has planned to bring things under control within 6 months. but he hasn't gone into detail. well, the taliban has taken more territory in recent weeks than it did at any time since it fell from power. 20 years ago. in may. it controlled about 20 percent of of ghana, stan, but as us and other funding troops have been withdrawing. taliban fighters are ramping up that attacks. and the last 2 months, half the country has fallen under taliban rule. it's a critical test for the afghan government as the fight as advance and surround the capital capital. in the past 24 hours, the on group has moved in from the outskirts to the hearts of the cities last august, and kind of hot diplomatic attitude. james base reports from the capital capital as fighting has intens

i mean, you can, you can see it how you want many connie this just because a context. so of issue i was raised in a very conservative community, so i would see it as something that's very, very oppressive. but i also don't expect anybody that hasn't been raised in that community to understand some ignorance is genuinely innocent. and why would, why would i expect to understand what is going on within those communities? she the young celebrity, i have no expectations of her whatsoever. and i think sometimes we can become very, very hysterical. and when we see something that we don't like and even even impression alone, you have mr. women adopting it from choice and miss women being forced to wear it. if you have been raised in a community where that's been for you, you see as a, as a tool of oppression. if you are a western woman or western seminar to feels like your body is going objectified all of your life, you're going to see it as something that freezing from it. it represents different things to different women. and i think it doesn't help when we have hysteria on

you're going to kill him and province of connie's time. well, early i spoke to david this ross, she's the professor at the national defense university. he also served in afghanistan, and by asking him if the warlords had been extracted from the equation that is not enough chemist on 10 or 20 years ago with the crisis today, not be happening. so i served in afghans to 2000 to 2003 on the civil affairs task force. and quite frankly, what i saw was a, a military effort that was focused on cobble with very little done in the provinces . and basically, the warlords retained a lot of power even while the central government sought to move out there. i think part of the reason why the situation looks so bad is that the warlords, who really have a lot of the fighting power in these provinces, are stepping back, waiting for the central government to reach a point of crisis, where they empower the individual warlords and then they'll move in. i think that's probably the case in conduce, in, sorry, paul and taluk one. the taliban is clearly playing to strength if y

is the question that and that i think the lack of legitimacy explains why the whole afghan government mit mit, a military collapsed. and in a matter of days, osh ross connie was in office as a result of 2 consecutive massively fraudulent elections. his predecessor harman cars, i one obtained a 2nd term as a result of a massively fraudulent election. and they the trouble was that when you come into office by having crop power, brokers put you in power. it makes you, it makes it almost impossible to deal with the problem in afghanistan, which was massive corruption. and you can see this in the, in the military where soldiers weren't paid, where they weren't resupplied, where afghans felt that the, the institutions didn't serve them. you know, when the roads were built to allow for subsistence farmers to, to be market farmers. and then a corrupt police would set up checkpoints and basically rob them. so this was the, the larger, larger problem was a lack of legitimacy by the previous government. and frankly, if soldiers weren't willing to defend it, even though they were vastly better armed than the, than the taliban. and more numerous. ok. and also alonzo,

i sent him copies and i sent them to different folks -- i'm a big fan of shared brown and his wife is also in "new york times," you know connie is a best-selling author so i sent a chapter here and then they gave me feedback. i had lots of people helping me along the way. >> host: i love that and i'd love senator brown and connie helping out as well. that's great detail. what was the hardest part of this book to right? i'm assuming it was about the crash but there might be another part. >> guest: it was not a crash it was a shootdown because the bad guys to game. wasn't intentional and we landed it. let's go thank you for that. >> guest: the pilot did a remarkable piece of flying and landed that bird and that's why we are all alive so i want to honor his expertise. he received a distinguished flying cross for his actions on that day. so i always say it's not a crash at the landing. he did an amazing job of pilotage. >> host: thank you. >> guest: no problem. probably about my early childhood was the hardest array provide closed off a lot of the struggle of reliving poverty. i only started talking about in recent years as the n

i very upset the former president of afghanistan astro connie is now in the united arab emirates. there had been confusion about his whereabouts since he left the country on sunday. the u. e says he's been taken in with his family on humanitarian grounds. british afghans have been protesting outside parliament in london, that demanding the government do more to help those seeking asylum. the prime minister boris johnson says the u. k. will do all it can with a humanitarian crisis. in other news, the us will offer cobra 1900 booster vaccinations for everyone from september. the 20th. as the delta various causes arise and infections, the u. s. department of health is recommending the shots for people fully vaccinated at least 8 months ago. australian officials are wanting corona virus cases have not yet peaked in sydney and say people should brace themselves for more deaths. those are your headlines up next. it's risking at all more news on this channel in. ah, ah ah, ah ah, i use use the tiny village of 10 rock deep and madagascar, last primeval jungle. the people here live off the

and i really hope you can value the contribution made by the earlier transimmigrants and the reason i'm here to support the resolution introduced by supervisor connie chan and also we hope through this resolution, we can help to preserve and protect our chinese heritage and also i really think as for the golfers, we are not really against them to play golf in this land, but we hope they can understand why we really think this resolution should be passed. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> hello. hello?
