only military flights and international forces are securing the airport with about $6000.00 special forces. some people have died at the airport in the chaos. it's unclear whether they will as part of a stampede and the chaos or whether or not they were shot by security forces in this, in this chaos and cobbled city itself, it's quite quiet. the taliban has taken over all the checkpoints, they appear to be very much in control. they have government buildings have been handed over to them and they're in the presidential palace. we await a press conference from the head of communication. places today, give them what you said. the shawl is about these 2 forces trying to head up the cobble to stage some kind of fight the banks. the question, do we know what the posture is of the rest of the afghan security forces? an army? have they all surrendered? now have the toddy bond as a ton of on take over all the state institutions complete at this point. way do believe that the majority of security forces have put down the odds in the telephone came in last night and barely a shot was fired. there wa

the afghan national security forces, even the development of the forces in the last 10 to 12 years ild say is when this force was actually built when it was supposed to have been n buit in 2001. it was the u.s. that took the responsibility of building the afghan national security forces under the lead program. and while they built a national secure force in large numbers, is was a force they were both building capacity while also teaching literacy at the same time. and in this process, there were a lot of areas where dependency upon the u.s. forces and nato forces was something that was established. so there was a dependency on certain resources needed from the united states and other forces. so the dependency was there. it was still a young army, at the end of the day, and building this army itself faced a lot of difficulties in the last few years. i think they fought -- i did what they could, but unfortunately, i would say the leadership failed them and then that is what studies will show you and that is what reports in media would show you, that it certainly was a failure of leade

parts of afghan security forces fought bravely, but they were unable to secure the country.ltimately, the afghan political leadership failed to stand up to the taliban and to achieve the peaceful solution that afghans desperately wanted. this failure of afghan leadership led to the tragedy we are witnessing today. at the same time, we need to have an honest, clear eyed assessment of nato foss own engagement and after -- nato's own engagement in afghanistan. despite sacrifice over two decades, the collapse was swift and sudden. there are many lessons to be learned. but we should also recognize the gains made. nato allies and partners went into afghanistan after 9/11 to prevent the country from serving as a safe haven for international terrorists. in the last two decades, there have been no terrorists ♪ attacks -- terrorist attacks organize from afghan soil. those now taking power have the responsibility to assure international terrorists do not regain a foothold. allies have the capabilities and the vigilance to address future threats from afghanistan. due to our military pre

minutes ago and i will give you a rough translation seeing there have been some gunfire heard but security forcesre securing the security situation. the second one is the taliban spoken who has tweeted saying they have asked taliban fighters to refrain from violence in kabul city which some interpret as not to enter ourfight kabul city which some interpret as not to enter our fight inside the city. laterwe not to enter our fight inside the city. later we should be able to confirm about other reports but a bbc colleague in kabul was at a government office a few minutes ago and was asked to leave and the office was closed and they were asked to evacuate and some shops in certain localities in kabul were closed down and he told me there is a sense of panic and fear. a lot of people are trying to get visas and passports because people want to leave and are not sure what will happen if and when the taliban take over the city. the government is asking people to remain calm and they are taking measures as many modern countries are evacuating and the us has brought on trips to evacuate their embassy staf

>> the afghan security forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country. and we will continue to support the afghan security forces were necessary in accordance with the guidance when the president and the secretary of defense. the future afghanistan is squarely in the hands of the afghan people and there are a range of possible outcomes in afghanistan i want to emphasize repeatedly and i said this before the negative outcome is not a foregone conclusion. >> tucker: is not a foregone conclusion. at this point, a military takeover is starting to look like a foregone conclusion. they now have control over a majority of the country including the second largest city. the government meanwhile controls just about 15% of the districts in afghanistan. at this point, they are 30 miles away. analysts say they could fall within days, american troops are on their way to evacuate the

the dollar dependence soldiers and politicians security forces told are the 0 to isom case cells have been dismantled in the last few days. they reportedly came from villages like discipline in a son, historically used by british and us forces. that's now under the bond control. recently it's been home to major groups. soldiers here who've lost colleague say they need to see proof of the dollar bonds, promises to ensure peace. and then to have gone territory being used to attack pakistan. some a majority of era, hyper border and come all hide without the nearby tor come crossing, where thousands of afghans have been circulating. this is progress does major border crossing i door come. as you can see, that dollar bond have now taken for dish and on the other side their flag flying high. and on the other side you can see those off on who are trying to return to budget on or off. and you want to go back to on it on that situation is calm and quiet budget on said the digital humanity area and gesture to allow people to be able to across the board and bucket on many have relative go ahead

security forces as well. �* ., ., well.ou have done _ well. and what about your safety? you have done work, _ well. and what about your safety? you have done work, translated, l well. and what about your safety? i you have done work, translated, you have done your bit to try to help the new afghanistan, are you scared? yes, of course. despite the fact that the taliban are trying to somehow, telling people that you can be forgiven, but i personally cannot trust the taliban at this point because historically, the taliban is not a group that we as people, as afghans, could believe in. so i have worked with foreigners, in particularly, i did work with them, and my work is quite high—risk now, and my work is quite high—risk now, and unfortunately, there is no way for me to make sure me and my family is safe in afghanistan. i am concerned and i think a lot of young people especially are concerned about their safety.— people especially are concerned about their safety. thank you for s-ueakin about their safety. thank you for speak

military away from the more important mission of building up afghan security forces so they would be ble to fight in a way that works for them. one big effect of the search is the afghan forces all over the country were taken under the wing and used as auxiliary for infantry they're fighting everywhere. they can call on air power at any time. almost any time. especially during the surge. that is what the afghan army became accustomed to. conaway was ever going to work. in recent years the u.s. and nato that does not have a capable way of maintaining itself. it was designed by us with the reliance on u.s. contractors who are no longer there. i think an important thing to think about as we assess the situation now and compare it the events of 2009 is what president biden's, president biden opposed the surge. he wanted to downside the u.s. presence in afghanistan to pursue a more narrow terrorism mission. to have special forces, cia operatives pursuing al qaeda. there is a deep tension in the debates in 2009 about the surge is to to be in afghanistan after 911 and the military who said n

as they continue to move troops back into kabul right now, as security forces working security for those americans still on the ground the secretary of state has insisted there wasn't much more the united states could do there, pointing to a deadline established to get troops out by the trump administration, and saying that the afghan security forces there simply did not do their job. but that reaction is getting a lot of backlash here in washington >> there's still no strategy, other than race to the airport and evacuate as many people as you can. >> so everybody who has been saying america needs to withdraw, america needs to retreat, we are getting a devastating, catastrophic real-time lesson in what that means. >> idea that we would sign up for remaining there in the midst of a civil war for another 5, 10, 20 years was not in the national interest. that is the hard decision the president made >> reporter: the focus continues to be on protecting the americans on the ground in afghanistan. u.s. troops have taken over air traffic control of the airport in kabul, hoping to expedite the fl

milley: the afghan security forces had the capacity. they had the trays and -- training, and size, to defend the country. this comes down to leadership. no, i did not, nor did anyone else see a collapse in the army of that size 11 days. >> at what point does the military need to start thinking about changing its own russia great to meet the deadline. do you regret not getting ahead of the curve? sec. austin: at what point do we start to retrograde our own abilities. that is the point before he put them in there. we have to have the right mix of capabilities on the ground. we don't want excessive materials on the ground. they may not be relevant to what we are doing. we have to develop a detailed plan to retrograde our equipment and sacred eyes that plan with our efforts to get as many people out as best we can. that work is something we started thinking about early on, and we continue to think about it and develop detailed plans for it. >> do you regret not starting evacuation a few days earlier? sec. austin: we make plans for a number

so that i'm sure is going to be concerning to the afghan security forces we need to tell about their in house is there in buildings. and that gives the prospect of urban warfare that was difficult type of fighting for the afghan special forces. the local journalists were in touch with say, they haven't actually seen those african special forces. the african defense ministry say, have been dispatched to last last you got arrived in laska. they haven't yet seen them in the center of laska yet. we do understand though, in parts of last year, that happiness strikes carried out were told definitely by the african air force. but also some reports they may be carried out by the u. s. as well. if you cross then across the border to the neighboring province of kandahar, which of course is the 2nd city and the province around it, there are still ca, she's going on the parts of can dollars. city. i didn't spend bolduc which is about 45 minutes away, which is the board town of the one of the main borders between i've got a son and pakistan that's been under the control of taliban for some time. b

here who said we've got full playing and that's how we're trying to reach the class security forces. and it's incredibly difficult when you've got so many different offences and so many different provinces trying to get the menu nation money, basics supplies. it's really been a hamstring for them and they've been relying on special horses and sending them in these elite units to try to secure cities. but now they just have so many cities and they don't have enough special forces to spread around. charlotte understood, stay close, we'll talk to you later. i'm sure charlotte. well, it's not correspondent, never put in life from cobble. well, what's going on in the canister? of course, being judged and reacted to in world capital countries that had an interest historically in afghanistan, the u. k saying it could return to afghanistan. if al qaeda develops any presence in any way at all that threatens the west. live now to london and our correspondent, following that aspects of this developing story and with them. and so, and what are they saying and feeling about this in white hold th

the african security forces we are told they are the ones who sustain these injuries. one person dead and several injured staff. the african security forces could refer to army units of the afghan army who didn't want to surrender. didn't want to lay down to the taliban. that they took over it's understood, there are a few special forces units. actually now i live with us at the airport, who are helping to the, to secure the perimeter to provide the security code. and where the, the evacuation continues on the understanding that these units for that service will be amongst the last to grab seats on the last of the evacuation flight out of here. so when we're talking about african security for those could be the people that the germans, referring to the people who perpetrated the firing, who fired upon them offset to be unknown, attackers, are they taliban? we simply don't know. but that's where we have the situation at the moment. in the meantime, the of the, at the airport, the taliban, is trying to secure a greater degree of control and then deployed some special for

but as that event took place, as you can see, looking at these live pictures, security forces earlier, use water, canada, and t a guy. so i'm protested, trying to bring through barricades near the parliament building. at least 56 people were injured, demonstrates as a demanding accountability from the government over that blast. then a honda is our correspondent, life was outside the parliament building in beirut. zayna. what are you seeing and hearing there? well, as you can see, a heavy security presence, the army, the internal security forces, they've been using excessive amounts of tear gas to push protesters away from parliament building. so, so far they have managed to push them towards more square. this is in central bay route. we've seen things like this over the past year and a half. yes, we talked about the need for accountability and justice. this is what people who were attending the commemoration outside the port earlier today. but people here are also demanding a new leadership. they do not believe the political class is capable of governing this country any longer, a po

all this lead to the inevitable corruption, the thriving within the security forces. there glaring ineffectiveness and as a result, lack of trust to the u. s. backed institution from locals. the african population perceives places, predatory bandits and calls them the most hated institution in the country. around 30 percent of the recruited police have deserted whether issued weapons to set up their own private checkpoints and extolled money from travelers. various sources before the telephone calls were preferrable alternative, and that they were perceived as accessible, fast and less corrupt than the government established courts. so when the us says something like this, that force proved incapable of defending the country. and that did happen more rapidly than we anticipated. is it that big of a surprise? i mean, really well, but at least this time america is meddling actually lead and militant group. even one recognized as terrorists by many states to gain total control over a country of galveston who failed. the united states failed and they failed to train the o

security at the airport. mr. kirby: i wouldn't go that far, courtney. turkish forces are still at the airport. turks are still in the lead of security at the airport. we already have some security forces, u.s. security forces at the airport, including aviation elements. these 3000 would be going to bolster that presence to make sure that the airport is secure enough to facilitate movement of all these people over the next couple weeks. this is about prudent preparation and we want to make sure that we have got enough on hand to adapt to any contingencies. your question about the numbers being too high -- we believe it is appropriate to the security situation that we see now, and that we can anticipate possibly in the future, which is again why we are going to flow a brigade combat team into the theater to be ready in case we need more. hopefully, this will be an incredibly permissive environment and we won't need these additional capabilities. but the secretary believes safety and security of our people, not just american troops but our allies and partners and our state department colleagues, i

essentially blaming the country possibly her's and security forces. do you agree with that assessment? >> absolute li na. there are 60,000 national security forces who ha been killed fighting the taliban. there are still afghani fighting the taliban right now. whether they are in tangier or in the south that refused to surrender. we know the taliban aren the middle of an offensive but we are out of here and our air is out of here. what choice did they really have other than to lay down their arms and maybe cut a better deal to try to make sure their families were safe? the withdrawal is what made the collapse inevitable. >> what can international airlines do to stabilize the situation in the country? quite the most imrtant thing that ls can do is help get them out. i realize the u.s. has to bear the brunt of this ever given the military had the airlift capabilities but we have seen has been really slow and problematic in kabul. there are some glimmers of hope but the plan is to get 7-9000 americans and afghans and some other foreign nationals out per

it remains unclear exactly who these that can security forces are but weak. they think they could be remnants of the afghan army that didn't want to threaten to didn't want to give up their arms. probably special forces who would be targeted probably anyway. by the taliban. once they take it over despite taliban did out. so they, it seems, have gotten into allied themselves with the us form part of the perimeter, the security code around the airport, on the understanding that they would occupy some of the la seats on the last evacuation plains, out of the airport. so it's understood that those at the casualties could be amongst that contingent and the german communicate merely says that the attack is the run. note a cooper, that the taliban, we just simply don't know, but that continues the usa. they have tried to secure the perimeter further, but also they, the taliban of also reporting that they are trying to secure the chaotic parameter with a deployment of their own special force. is that called bad re 313. they dressed with the same sort of special forces

american officials including president biden himself who said just a few years ago that the afghan security forces are 3,000 men strong and they could never be defeated by a force of the taliban around 75,000 fighters. but the reality on the ground was far different. what we found out according to reports was that the 300,000 number was on paper but in practice it was about a sixth of that size. the entire fighting force of afghanistan backed by the united states military, so this allowed the taliban to work quickly through some of the southern cities pulling in afghan reserve sources into the fight and at the same time they executed offensive where they launched attacks on northern cities. this allowed the group to take over vast amount of territory in just a week and a half catching the entire afghan government under heels and we see afghan security forces simply vanished from the face of kabul. we saw reports about the security forces actually changing clothes so they weren't identified by the taliban as the fighters worked their way through the city but as things stand right now, it is the ame

we will continue to support the afghan security forces where necessary.accordance with the guidance of the president and the secretary of defense. the future afghanistan is squarely in the hands of the afghan people. the range of possible outcomes in afghanistan, and i want to emphasize repeatedly, i've saide this before, a negative outcome of a taliban takeover is not a foregone conclusion. >> tucker: it's not a foregone conclusion buried the military takeover of the taliban is starting to look like if organ conclusion. taliban forces have control over a majority of the country including kandahar, control about 15% of the district in afghanistan. the taliban is not isolated in the capital, kabul 30 miles away. analysts say kabul could fall in days. thousands of american troops on their way to evacuate the u.s. embassy. our helicopters flew into the city this afternoon. they are not on the roof yet but it's early. explained recently to congress is something called white rage. the taliban by contrast are slightly ten or so they didn't seem as dangerous in

, to the tune 3600,000 security forces to do everything to build them up and give them the besty. obviously, the advances of the taliban are alarming, but i don't think that a taliban takeover of afghanistan is inevitable. >> all right. and i want to switch gears to former president trump and these new revelations about how close we all came to witnessing a coup of some sort in this country. today the senate majority whip dick durbin spoke about an interview his committee just conducted with the former acting attorney general jeffrey rosen. let's take a listen to that. >> just how directly, personally involved the president was, the pressure he was putting on jeffrey rosen, it was real. very real. and it was very specific. this president is not subtle when he wants something. the former president. he's not subtle when he wants something. and i think it's a good thing for america that we had a person like rosen in that position who stood -- withstood the pressure. >> congressman, what do you make of these latest revelations, and how intense was this pressure that the president an

but it seems that the security forces that they don't give permission to anyone to get inside of the airport. now i'm going to interview with one of the guys who is waiting for long time. it is good, but did he put in find the chance to get inside of the airport? so how long have you been behind this gate? it's been around 3 days. there were people that stormed the airport with a certificate for an english course. people went with electricity bills, but those of us with the real documents couldn't get inside. i have my special immigrant visa, which has been accepted and approved, but i still can't get inside. getting caught on or in the face of the overwhelming offensive. by the way, some people have been running across the country to show that resistance to the taliban regime in cobble crowds, not through the streets and out from the takeover of the country. they've shown that answers and slogans and code i've gotten flags that have become a symbol of the funds. this unverified video purport to show a taliban fighters seizing us can flag through a st. then hitting him in the face. w

all that afghan security forces would be able to hold the line. they still might.'s an important thing to remember. that you know, there is eventually a bottom line that's going to kick in here, but it's been an appalling five days and i think frankly, many are concerned momentum is certainly with insurgency here and they might be damaging afghan security forces. >> as we watch what's happening there, barbara, i think the question on a lot of people's minds is might the u.s. change plans. >> well, i don't think there's much chance of that. we've talked to a lot of officials about it and president biden appears to be quite set in his decision that afghan forces have been trained. that they have the weapons and the capacity to fight. the question of their capability to do it might be something else entirely but president biden feels very strongly and has said so publicly that none of this is recent to commit u.s. forces again. that would be the challenge. if you are going to really do it, would you have to put forces in significant numbers back on the ground in a com

so it's not a dr. russian security forces a week, but it's the requirements the need. it's the, you know, i would say the demand of the region is such that mike, other country, the united states have it's force and it's prism. it requires us as well because if my mother understand anymore, it is an international and regional trade and hopefully it never happens again. but i'm afraid if i'm on a solid list, but these 20 tourists groups were operating between the borders of upon a southern becker sent if taliban takeover and given them. and then there is a feed the you know, even so attacks that never can happen. and the catch is good to get your thoughts on this. sasha fig handle that johnny stare from washington. thanks for being with us. thank you for having me. hi lisa 51 civilians have been killed in attacks by an arm group in northern molly that's according to the army. it happened in villages near the border with news yet more on this from the dress in boucher nigeria. the 51 dead is provisional trigger or the army saying that many people who are injured unspecifie

the security forces used large amounts of tear-gas.y shot rubber bullets at protesters in violation of international norms. they shot rubber bullets at least two members of the media who were covering the protests. they used water cannons against protesters. it is important to note that the use of force by the security forces was not only aimed at securing the perimeter of parliament. it seemed to be aimed at ending the protest and dispersing the protesters. they were firing tear-gas into clouds -- clouds containing families, women, and children who were gathering peacefully. there was no need for those peaceful protests to be dispersed. it was quite a show of brute force on a day that was very painful for every lebanese person, every person who wasn the country when the explosion rocked the capital. i don't think there is a single person in beirut who was not in some way impacted by the blast. amy: in your report, you find in the report, reviewing official documents, doing multiple interviews with people, including the president, the

there is also a turkish security force and other international special ops forces.e is capable of extracting significant amount of people on u.s. aircraft. right now, we are averaging 20 -- c-17's every 24 hours. weave the capability to increase that as the department of state makes evacuees available. as the secretary said, we have alreadyvacuated approximately 5000 people and we intend to increase that. in addition to the military airflow, there is a variety of commercial and charter flights taking out evacuees on behalf of other countries. the military side of the airfield is open and the civilian side is ao open. we intend to keep them both open for military, commercial, and charter flights. one caveat on the civilian side is that the airframes have to come in by visual flight rules only. the state department is working to rapidly increase the flow of passengers available to get out on the aircraft and we are fully supporting them with our military personnel at the entrance gates. there is a number of unexpected challenges that wl likely continue to occur and we
