but i think that merkle legacy will continue even if her personality has departed, you know, get on to the future. maybe because she was kind of, she is a formidable political play. i mean, she's softly spoken, you would want to cross her though, if my general impression. but she does have a respect, but is a forwarded to her by vladimir putin. what was infinitely respect that was afforded . busy to her by vladimir vuitton, similar to the relationship, though quite different, forgetting how mccolan brazelton was more defensive and was more operative. but it's that kind of strong personal relationship. when that changes, it can unravel things and also she's got a lot of stature within the european union though she is a polarizing. busy figure and she's had to balance between the more diverse elements, like italy and hungry and the more hawkish elements in eastern europe. and she's done that quite well in spite of a lot of inter european divisions. you know, you talked about her success, 7 potential next chancellor. but who on the european scene now could fill her shoes in challenging or

a pretty blunt statement that from the man who might be the next german chancellor. anglo merkle said that she would be coordinating efforts with france in this ongoing evacuation. even as news came in that a german plane and had to be had had to be redirected to tash kent, in those back is unable to land and inevitably, now governments looking beyond the crisis that is unfolding on the ground right now, looking to the longer term a much bigger revolving picture here, how to deal with the taliban government, how to deal with those security issues as they unfold, how to deal with a refugee crisis if it comes. and i think, accurate, echoing sentiments in probably everyone's mind now. chancellor merkel again, this is this will keep us very busy for a long time to come. it will indeed join a whole that bring us up to date with a reaction across europe. joe, not thank you very much. indeed. well, carter has been, you know, since talks for a peaceful resolution as the afghan conflict, the countries talked to not says they are trying to help get people out of the country to ask about what ou

taken mid concerns about a potential refugee crisis. concerned certainly in europe by chancellor merkle made the point on mondays and she, when she said this is going to occupy us all for a very long time. she was just acknowledging their, the sort of security issues inside the taliban lead galveston. she was talking about refugees. now her turn off is, comes up at the end of next month. her parties hoping for reelection. she was careful not to suggest that europe again open its doors to refugees. but if this exodus does happen, one has to assume that many afghans will not want to languish in camps. for instance, in neighboring countries like pakistan or in turkey. they will instead want to come to europe and i think there is a broad political fear among governments now of a repeat of 2015. when merkle open door policy, drew more than a 1000000 people to europe, mostly fleeing the war in syria. for the moment, of course, the focus is on getting foreign nationals out about going to stand along with africa and support staff. some countries in europe are going further, the germans are addi

we did hear from angle and merkle by the german chancellor saying that the time was really running out to get people out of afghanistan right now side. so we know that the window of opportunity is closing. $10000.00 people could be brought to safety. i want to reaffirm that we will not forget those who can no longer be rescued by air. least we will continue to try to get them out of the country, the foreign ministries, talking to the taliban about this. and we will also coordinate internationally on how we should proceed. well, franz had said that they were ending their lift. however, in the last few moments, we understand that paris is looking at extending not 4 hours, perhaps even a few more days. up towards the 31st of august deadline, we had heard from the french president manually. my call. he said that there were 20 bosses of french nationals and africans, that france had taken responsibility for and wanted to get out of the country waiting i the asked or nearby to cobble for the french president and acknowledge that the time. 5 that getting those people out with going to be diff

and then word got out that merkle was actually advised to put people out months ago. so while the country is hoping to offer refuge, you know too many. do you think that, you know, there is an organized plan on how to implement all of this? that's a really great question. something nobody else has time now. so congratulations to you, natasha. for that is illustrates rather nicely how isolated the europeans, where from the decision making process. the senior officials in the british army are today saying that they've completely been cut out of the decision making loop. here, the germans were caught completely flat footed. they must have several 100 citizens there and nobody really knows for sure. but they weren't able to get them out. they probably got assurances in a binding administration that when that situation starts to deteriorate, will have plenty of notice. but the german government, the federal government in germany was completely caught flat footed so much so that you have some of the regional states in germany trying to organize their own rescue efforts. but

killed by the hardliners as they are right now trying to find the reporter himself. chancellor angle merkle had to openly admit that the african nation billing experiment was a mistake. i just didn't succeed and weren't accomplished. as we had planned. the realization and the bitter one is terrifying for the millions of afghans who supported the more free society and who with the support of western states on straw for democracy indication and women's rights, and made important progress. prisons, foreign secretary use edge to step down. as the media alleged, he did not help. african interpreters for the u. k. army escaped the country before the taliban takeover and possible revenge attacks. and all of this is happened with smallest scandal. like the possibility that the evacuation might not be free for americans. and amid all of this, it appears the u. s. leadership still does not have a single clue how to contain the fall out of this disastrous withdrawal. i cannot promise with the final outcome will be we don't have the capability and collect of large numbers of people. the u. s. was caugh
