meanwhile, the sunday express features comments from the armed forces minister, who says british veterans afghanistan should be proud of what they accomplished, despite the collapse of the afghan government. let's start on the mirror. it is quoting an article from the telegraph but it is one that is unsurprising how many of the papers have chosen to go with it, given that this is tony blair who is not known for his criticism of american governments. laying it on thick, if not by name president biden. mr blair not by name president biden. m blair has written an article where he strongly attacked the withdrawal of allied troops from afghanistan, but particularly laying the blame at presidentjoe biden. he has described the withdrawal as imbecilic and warned that it will have consequences for many years to come. this is an interesting intervention. you may remember mr blair was the prime minister to get into afghanistan. it's important to separate this from iraq, which was a very different endeavour and has been thoroughly examined through the chilcott report. mr blair has been really quiet t

he says, sunday to allies express the need to stay beyond the august 31st deadline to get people out some issues at the meeting today. many allies express the need to extend the deadline to the timeline beyond the 20 and 31st of august. and that's because they see that with the current pace, we will not be able to get all the people who want to get out by the end of that timeline. at the same time, it is an extremely unpredictable difficult situation around the cobble airport. but i think it was in itself important allies were able to sit together and discuss these issues. also we do not to stay through and are in charge of the airport in, in couple members of the taliban have been seen alongside civilians for the 1st friday presence, taking control of colors from the group as a moms to appeal to unity in sermons. the death toll from a powerful earthquake in haiti on saturday has risen to the 2200 people. now the quake damaged a number of buildings. housing critical services, including southern hate, is only medical oxygen plant. the organization of american states is holding a virtu

fauci expressed that concern on sunday. >> i'm very concerned, chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally. i mean, to me, it's understandable that people want to do the kinds of things they want to do. they want their freedom to do that. but there comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis that could involve you, your family, and everyone else, that something supercedes the need to do what you want to do. >> it's the argument between personal freedom, so-called freedom, and community responsibility. >> andrea, this is something i've heard a lot about, the sturgis rally and even fourth of july events where people were even outdoors for most of the time. the white house even held one. and i think that what we've learned, not only does this delta variant pose a different set of risks than we would have anticipated, but in general we're trying, as you said, to kind of protect the public. and i'll be honest, i think it's another one of our failures in public health communication. we're not doing a great job of explaining how one individual can have

on sunday hundreds of americans gathered outside the white house expressing fear and grief over the taliban takeover and holding signs that read, evacuate afghans now. america betrayed us. in congress, the republican lawmakers are certainly going on the offensive and slamming the departure as a shameful failure. >> it is completely preventible, completely predictable, too. and there was no effort at all to mitigate the disaster. not at all. no planning at all in this. >> this president had the integrity to tell a hard truth to the american body politic and to the afghans that this failed forever war must end. >> i think that the failure here is the lack of the fighting, the will to fight based upon the afghan security forces. that's where the miscalculation was. >> i want to say this to my gold star families. your sacrifices were not in vain. you kept america safe for 20 years. what did we get out of all that? >> we prevented 9/11's from happening. >> the director of the international crisis groups asia program joins me now from washington. great to have you on the show. i do want to get yo

say to the families of the fallen other than to pay his respects and express his sympathies and that's what president biden did on sundayn he went to dover air force base to welcome back those fallen heroes there, but there were some tense moments we're learning about from new reporting from "the washington post" about the conversations that happened behind the scenes, including one between the father of jared schmitz, lance corporal with the marines, just a young man who died among those 13 americans killed several days ago and this tense exchange that matt viser of "the washington post" details. "don't you ever forget that name, don't you ever forget that face, don't you ever forget the names of other 12 and take some times to learn their stories." the president appeared to bristle at that and said "i do know their stories.
