u. k. talking to the taliban through 3rd party . what's up for negotiation at this point? hard to imagine, and i'm afraid i don't have a lot of flesh to put on the bones of that one. hard to imagine what there is left to talk about. we've heard from the defense secretary ben wallace here in london this morning, stating the screaming mail, vist that the taliban is in control in cobble, but that the u. k. and data will not be going back in clearly the policy issues to be made and possibly contact with the taliban is useful in that respect policy issues that all the members of the coalition, the former coalition must make in the e u. and here in the u. k, about how to deal with a taliban government, the reality of a taliban government, whether to recognize it or not, whether to talk to it or not. mr. wallace saying it's too early to deal with questions like that. it depends very much on their actions, not on their rhetoric, and that indeed is a sentiment echoed by the russians who do, and that they still have an embassy presence on the ground. they decided not to shut their e

a lot of those problems that people criticize the space program, exacerbating that reads some talks, the u. k. might develop a, a tourist flight launch station that one is a bit tricky to justify. but the hope is with that, if you get more people going up into space and being able to look down on us from above, it will hopefully give them a bit more perspective. but certainly when it comes to small satellite launches, there is very much a lot of work goods that they can do here, back on a good to speak with you as the piece. and thanks so much be was despite the blockade and the israeli bombings during the 11 day conflict in may, artists have finally returned to give some glimmer of hope and cheer to people. in garza, the united said reports the events like these haven't been seen in because district for years because still in clave had suffered during decades. separate pizza drowns if conflict with israel and 15 years. zip located. and along with the poor economy and the pen to make people's lives have deteriorated. but now many are again filling hotels and gift phase, offering the summer of

u. k on 4th minister was talking about this morning, has brought forward the evacuation flights and ended the evacuation flight for many countries. the u. s. had warned countries to remove the military and embassy personnel immediately. they said that the situation on the ground was deteriorating rapidly. we've now seen evidence of that, so we know that the last flight for the netherlands, poland, hungary, canada, belgium and denmark have left. they've wraps up their evacuation effort, and denmark has it. and so the dutch government did admit that it probably left some africans eligible for relocation behind. it just couldn't get them all on board. the canadian chief defense staff also said we left sooner than we wanted to. we wanted to rescue more people. we just couldn't, germany is wrapping up it's flights. by the end of the day, france will continue until friday. the u. k. has 11 flight leaving the country on thursday. whether or not this explosion will change that is going to be unfair. but obviously the situation inside the fort deteriorating rapidly, and most countries bringing for

u. k. speaking not for very long and talking mostly about just how they want to ensure that humanitarian organizations are allowed to continue to work to for the un to, to, to focus on addressing the needs of the humanitarian needs of the citizens of afghanistan. no much be on the u. s. envoy reiterated that point. talked about the the aid that sitting at border crossings that is still controlled by the taliban. demanding that they released that aid into the country, but also issued a warning to the taliban. that if any harm comes to any us soldiers or citizens that the us would meet that with a swift response, that emergency meeting continues will continue to dig in and out of it as the afternoon progresses. now the war claimed the lives of almost 2000 people, 500 us soldiers with money. the colleagues not questioning what it was all for to us veterans, including one that held reopened. the u. s. embassy cobble in 2001 shad ethel's well at this point for all of the men and women of our country have served in afghanistan who have lost friends, who, who seen people injured, have gone through terrible e

now when we're talking about the u. k. in this post bruckner era, one of the really big things here has been these free trade agreements. we know that they're working on one with new zealand and really kind of going after these non partners. what's the latest there? well, there's lots of things happening. in fact, let's try to with here a few weeks ago, she has been in new zealand for the past week. she's been working with on a trade agreement that would actually be extremely beneficial. not just because it's new zealand with obviously common heritage, common history, common value, common law, common law, no pun intended, to the law of common law and common. but also it's a real gateway to that pacific rim where you have over 12 countries that the long and tunnel economically for trade agreements. so this is like an entree point into all those countries as well, of which some of the agreements are also moving along. so she is now over 70 trade agreements, and prior to brooks it, there was 72 trade agreements that the you h

u. k on foreign minister was talking about this morning, has brought forward the evacuation flights and ended the evacuation flight for many countries. the u. s. had warned countries to remove.

u. k. jail cell, to the united states. he talked about to us policy and i've got to start with independent journalists, taylor who can also former whistleblower barret brown to i think the u. s. government to some extent it doesn't really know what it's fighting for nor the funding. pretty regular thing. such, it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the government. the basically the manner in which the u. s. has a pedal, whistleblowers, journalists, leakers facts even before dropped into office. i think a ball into a, perhaps, to a, to all time low and things had not improved 656 years. i think anyone who knows who they're talking about has to look at us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that jolina sanchez was correct in his assessment related to u. s. foreign policy. i think what having conversations about us wars in the middle east and in particular afghan, it's dan. it is so important to talk about julian hassan, and would you be contributions? i think the united states

she's talking about the u. k. that because the decision by our greatest allies, he described it with little or no consultation. that's proactive. it's africa and mission certainly give serious reflection to the u. k. lord records for me, you k, national security advisor also said that we've shown that we're actually pretty impotent in a situation where the americans take a decision and we have very little choice to follow. so they heart of what bar as johnson, social media 3. and this gathering of the, the church will gathering of the g 7 on tuesday will be a kind of attempt to pull together an international consensus that doesn't appear to have formed in the weeks and tell them to come to control cobble capable brandon salacious life and and then thank you paul. afghans who fled the whole land have spoken of the despair of leaving the ones behind and uncertainty about what happens next. hundreds of evacuees are being temporarily housed in cutter. arrangements are made for travel onwards to a 3rd country. one woma

u. k. jail cell to the united states phone calls that we talked about us policy in afghanistan with june taylor who deck and also former whistleblower barrett brack. i think the u. s. government, to some extent, it doesn't really know what it's fighting for, nor the funding for the regular thing as such. it's more of a reflexive sort of series of power plays by individuals in the government domestically. that the manner in which the u. s. has a pedal, whistleblowers, journalists, leakers facts, even before trust in the office. i think it fall into a perhaps to a, to all time low. and things that non prove and 1656 years. i think anyone who knows who they're talking about has to look at the us as a wild animal and go from there. this is not the 1st time that join a sanchez was corrected. his assessment related to us foreign policy. i think what having conversations about us wars in the middle east and in particular afghan, it's so important to talk about julian hassan. and would you be contributions? i think the united states government is speaking to make an example out of julian, a song

and we're not talking about small numbers here . the u. k, saying up to 4000 people, they're hoping to airlift foreign nationals and africa support stuff, the germans talking about 10000 people of which 2 and a half 1000 on afghans. and on the one hand, you got comments like those made by the spanish foreign minister earlier today, vowing that no one would be left behind. on the other hand, on the poignantly and heartbreaking lay comments by the u. k. defense minister ben wallace earlier who broke down in tears in an interview, admitting that it was highly likely that some people would be left behind. turner, how thank you very much indeed of us and everyone is waiting to hear from is us president joe biden. he's due to speak in about 30 minutes and we'll come to that. as it happens, she returns, he joins us live from washington, d. c. she have what we expect from button no regrets. i think it's going to be the message. we have a pretty good idea of what the administration line is. we've heard from jake sullivan, other administration officia

u. k. have signaled they're ready to talk about tapering off. monetary aid and russia and brazil have already raised interest rates to comp, inflation with all of the talk about trying to continue to provide more economic support, is that likely to have an impact on global inflation? well, i'm not sure there is such a thing is global inflation. i think of inflation really occurs in a currency by currency basis. yes, it is one individually to comes at a termination that there is no, there is no world average that makes sense and test inflation so. so you have to look at each currency. so you put up something i've been told a yes, the fate a signal than that, the bank of england a signal that they intend to increase, right? interest rates at some stage in the future when that will occur is very, very unclear. and whether it will occur, well, i think is unclear. very my boost now seeing a trillion dollar infrastructure spending bill make its way through congress in the us. that's going to have to get finance somehow. i think the treasury is going to look at the fed to finance and keep interest r

come out harder at the talk crossing less turn to the u. k. now, where the government is holding a series of meetings with international partners to make sure the taliban sticks to its commitments. charlie angela is live for us in london, said charlie, what more we hearing about those depth efforts on the diplomatic front? well, the 1st meeting plan for today is going to be hosted by the us next tuesday and in the blink. and that's going to be with key allies and g 7 powers, but also including representatives from tacky and castle who are considered to have more influence on the new taliban rulers than most countries. and it's expected that they will discuss running the airport and resuming civilian flights. as soon as possible, we're also expected to hit the u. k. foreign minister dominate rob setting out pragmatic steps for how the u. k. will engage with the taliban, including making sure that they stick to those counter terrorism commitments that they made in doha. and then there's also going to be an emergency un security council meeting l

u. s. suggesting they might only be willing to stay on the ground. we'll be able to hold that perimeter for around 72 hours. we're not talking about insignificant numbers here. the u. k. say they've got 4000 people on the ground. they need to move. they're expecting to move 122-1400 in the next 24 to 36 hours. as i said, germany with 10000 people that they need to move nationals foreign nationals and you can support stuff. so while you've got on the one hand, the likes of the spanish foreign ministers vowing that they will not leave anyone behind, i think there is a realization that at least the possibility is there that people will be left behind. and that is a possibility that has been embraced, apparently by the defense secretary here, ben wallace himself, a former soldier with the scots gods. he served. and i've got to start reacting with deep emotion earlier in a radio interview to the unfolding events in cobble take a listen. some people will get back and we will have to do our best. and 3rd countries, the processes people. why do you feel it? so personally, mister wallace can undersold nicole and the west has done what is done you know, so while these countrie

then i don't talk to the, the u. k. great agenda. the us recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling with us from stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package costing a trillion dollars. the senate season solace debate on the legislation. on top of that, democrats, a fitting volition of to us for nor another spending package, totaling 3 and a half trillion rule, ultimately require having to increase the debt ceiling. the republicans having none of it, unless they get more of a say on how the money is spent. if they don't need on our input, we are help with the deadline that increase that recklessly as he's reckless plans will require well, the debt ceiling limits the amount, the u. s. government can know it was reinstated last week. after 2 years suspension, the figure was automatically recalibrated to equal the current level, forcing the treasury to cough up for government bills. financial very much guys who's been watching events and false as washington has no choice. it'll have to keep on borrowing the u. s.

he went on to talk about foreign presence, the foreign presence in the region, calling it a problem and said around u. k. program would be peaceful that nuclear weapons are prohibited in iran. and finally talking about sanctions. us sanctions. we don't think specifically us sanctions but saying sanctions or bring down wrong. but the sanctions should come to an end and welcoming any diplomatic initiative to do that . obviously talking there about the j c p, away the nuclear deal fund back in 2015, which the us, you know, the holy withdrew from 3 years ago. let's bring in corresponding hash and who's standing by for us into ron alley ward stood up the you and the address by iran. you president welcome. this is completely different administration from the one that was doing president through honie 40 years ago or 8 years ago. better than i am, and i e. c gave what we could maybe call out valuation or the speech that goes with the principal of the islamic revolution. he said this clearly, he was emphasizing on a vocal on watch. doc are present in did not active of the islamic republic, d, 979. is that micro

and we're not here talking about small numbers. the u. k. estimates 4000 people need to be pulled out. they expect to move 122-1400 over the next 24 to 36 hours. so it's not quick. germany till about 10000 people, 2 and a half 1000 of them are africa. so while you've got people like the spanish foreign ministry, vowing not to leave anyone behind, you've got the british defense secretary, who you had that admitting that it is quite likely, some people will be left behind. take a listen now to the comments by chancellor medical spokes person voicing the concerns that many governments have about what's going on in afghanistan right now . distant and vacuum. the and these are developments that causes great concern and there are worries about the fate of individual atkins and also about the development of the country as a whole. these are better developments when looking at them against the background of the years long missions of the western community. taliban offered us, we call on the taliban to show restraint and protect the lives of the peo

u. k. just last week and i heard you on the radio talking about this, we the 15. so the 1515 percent of everybody in the world that go i will population will have some kind of disability. we 15 was launched around these paralympic games . say we need to be thinking about off as a community, as a global community beyond maybe just watching fantastic power. limbeck is a little snip of the hum, paying videos. your mind mean? can you use super heroes really to getting the kids out the door in time we push through and i was grateful like there's nothing special about us some serious attitudes. right. i love the stereotypes smashing ideas of what are the, how it happens alike. and also people with disabilities and quickly what about that then sam and linda you know, i, i just love that to be job because for one, i think people always think that when you have a disability and do anything you become, you suddenly become a superhuman or a sofa hero, i think what they're trying to tell us is we are just ordinary human beings that really want to be to be included in society.

so the british prime minister boars johnson has convened crisis talks and his defense secretary said on friday that the u. k. could return to thomas dawn if al qaeda is allowed to floors there again and threatened the west to tour correspondent anderson as he's joining us from london. so you have prime minister and you're holding a security cabinet meeting. what more do we know about that? yes, cover is a crisis meeting which is called in any situation that's causing tension. this is being described does not panic situation by advisors to keep people in the government. but there is a red lights on right now. the speed in which the taliban is moving and of course concern about cobble the capital. the government has already announced here the 600 troops from the 16th assault brigade. world $600.00 will be deployed and they're going to be effectively managing things before the evacuation of the government. here has also said that it's bringing in a whole series of measures to trying to keep the embassy a giving support to all of the former staff, the forces who are afghans to get out of processing their applic

u. k. france. romania and switzerland have been sent to health talk of the disaster. okay, another of our headlines stories today. anti corona virus measures are again being tightened in france with a set of new rules coming into force this monday to where terraces and restaurants, hotels, long distance transport and even medical facilities will not require a code that help pass for access. the plans have already sparked a wave of nationwide on several weeks ago, which has been simmering ever since. ah, the day's growing anger here in france. estimate a quarter 1000000 people have taken to the streets to protest against the coven health certificate. the protest is really had to complain. the 1st is that these health pastors restrict their freedom, and secondly that the government, if forcing them to be vaccinated. well, from monday, people here in front need a health path. if they want to eat a restaurant or drink in a cafe and that's regardless of whether it's indoors or outdoors. health pos is also needed for intensity travel. so that will include, for example, dome

everybody's an annual, maria's, she's just basically says these are terrible times and talk to me and i in 1971 island took the u. k to the european court. they argued that the men had been tortured by the british. the, the european court of human rights eventually decided that the hooded men had not been tortured, but instead enjoyed in human and degrading treatment. the in the global precedent set by this 978 judgment, allowed governments around the world to legally use the technique. i i me on the 30th of july, 2011. the 1st re union of the hooted man and 40 years took place here and just move up. this is a cross offered this we discussed the possibility of youth chemicals game on me. hello, my name is frankie mcclinton 70 euro grandfather. 1971. i was one of the hooted men. we went through 9 days of torture and help the hooded men kiss is probably one of the most the tories kisses in schumann rates jurisprudence. the dogs in the street know about that man. they know what happened to her man and protect. they know that it was torture. we have documents that make it very clear. express the clear that those the hi

he is here at the venue talks have started, they are all happening behind closed doors. also here at this hour or envoy and delegations for the u. k. u china pockets on becca stand. and the you in, we were told earlier that the russian delegation had arrived, but it seems they have not yet gotten to these talk. so it's unclear when they will be arriving. also unclear when dr. abdullah, who is the head of afghanistan high council for national reconciliation, and other members of the african governments negotiating team will be arriving here at the venue. they are in the hiv spoken to members of the team. but they are not yet here at these talks which have started today. another bit of lack of clarity at this hour is what role exactly the taliban will be playing. i spoke earlier with a tyler bond spokespeople and they said it was unclear if they were going to be invited. what's interesting about that is the fact that we have seen in statements issued by the office of ambassador for odd that he and others involved in these talks intend to press the taller bond into giving up violence into signing off on some type of a ceasefire. but

now if all those talk replaces weren't vain accusing us and u. k. governments of the withdrawal, we spoke to the mother a full and push a soldier, sean vinny, who was killed in a fire fight with ton of medicines back in may 2009. he was 22 years old, his mother, jeanette ben. he told us about the emotions she's been feeling since sunday. a lot of i'm very on the outside able to do that that they've been able to come in and do what they need to do. a lot of people are asking, you know, was it worth i question not. and since sunday, reflect any of the months and families that have lost loved ones, they have really been able to comprehend best. i know that when my son was told he was killed, saved, and women and children and the men that he was mentioned at a time along with his own una i will be for effort grateful to him and so cried that at the end of the d has life was given to try meet the country back to start the child from being able to rule the naval to cause head or anyway, as the light went off down and within 24 hours they have just walked
