u. s. a. tell us that the biggest operation that they tell us, but they had a total of 13 flights with more than a 1000 us citizens, families, etc. and also other individuals connected with the us. the us mission here who are, who feel that they are bundled to reprisals, all being spirited out of the country, being evacuated from here. in addition to that, some of the u. s. is allies that australia, they say they organized a flight to get its nationals and other people associated with them out of the country canada. we understand it's doing the same. what the us now he's relying on is this this guarantee of safe passage from the taliban? there are still many people in all parts of afghanistan who believe that they have the right and the that you've been taught by the us, that they will be, have the right to get out of the country to be evacuated. but the problem is actually getting to the airport getting through taliban cordons, and so i'm being allowed to get on that play. the taliban says they, t

u. s. comedian and political commentator jimmy door gave us his thoughts on his country's handing of handling of the crisis. do you want a u. s. intervention a military intervention? tell me about which country you want the u. s. intervening. and i think it's about, i mean, because a lot of people are saying we need to stay in africa and help the women i say, i bought in the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid and shelter to the 60000 homeless people in los angeles. how about we invade the inner cities of america and we bring health care to those people. we bring shelter to those people. we bring medicine to those people. we bring counseling to those people. how about we invade america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america going to care about the women? and, you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. so if you want to help people, why don't you give women and children want to give women a living wage in the united states? give them health care and give them an education. ironically, that's what the government up ganeth ended up until we invented the taliban. if

a u. s. intervention a military intervention. tell me about which country you want the u. s. intervening . and i think it's about, i mean, because a lot of people are saying we need to stay in afghanistan to help the women. i say, how about the united states takes about 3 or 4000 troops and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homeless people in, in los angeles. how about we invade the inner cities of america? and we bring health care to those people. we bring shelter to those people. we bring medicine to those people. we bring counseling to those people. how about we in beta america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america going to care about the women? you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. america won't give maternity leave to women so they can take care of their family when they go out to work. a job that doesn't pay for rent, you know, 40 percent of the homeless people in the united states have jobs. they don't pay enough for them to have a home or an apartment. so if you want to he

a good evening to you. i'm andre senior. christina is off and we begin in afghanistan, where the u. s embassy issued a new security warning today, telling americans not to travel to kabul airport without individual instruction from a u. s government represent it of as lucas tomlinson tells us from the pentagon. this comes amid new threats from islamic state militants against americans in afghanistan. even more urgency here at the pentagon to get all americans and vulnerable afghans out of the country after a new threat from the islamic state were fighting against both time and space. that's the race that we're in right now. and um and we're trying to do this as quickly and as safely as possible. i'm not going to speculate about whether windows are closing or opening. we're focused on accomplishing this mission as fast as we can. earlier today, the u. s embassy in kabul, issuing the following warning, telling americans not to go to the air. port officials say the warning is due to a new threat from the islamic state and other terrorist groups, but declined to give details. quote because of potential security threats outside the gates of

on the country is descending into a situation of catastrophe, so serious that it would have few parallels this century. and meanwhile, the u. s. and the u. k. a telling all of us citizens, anyone in afghanistan just to get out. and as late as taliban offensive grips the country, it seeing the terror group making sweeping territorial gains. in fact, after a series of rapid advances in rural areas in the last weeks, the insurgents and now targeting big cities for exam, couldn't do it right here. the north, northeast part of ghana on the 3rd provincial capital seized in just the last 3 days. the taliban has taken the governor's office and the police headquarters battle is still ongoing in some parts of that city. according to reports, at least 14 people killed, including women and children, more than 30 others injured. there are scenes of total destruction and condos with buildings in ruin or ablaze. in the meantime, at least $700.00 former taliban fighters have basically been released off the group captured another regional capital. this one right here, ship it a gun in the northern central part of the border here, northern afghanistan. this happened a

a canister on. but the u. s. is telling us citizens not to go to the airport because of a security threat. it's urging americans already there to leave. panic is growing among thousands. we're still trying to get on to flights. charlotte bellis has more from couples. we know about 1500 us passport holders remain and cobbled were meant to be evacuated. we understand that they starting to 2 out of the why, if you will missions with the ascending helicopters to try and retrieve these people and get them to the airport because of the threat to tell about also saying to us, we're also trying to secure the perimeter we're also trying to isolate we also understand that they've got to kind of do strategy to get people. and we were witnessing this yesterday with their putting people on buses, essentially pre facing them at different places around cobbled checking that they've got the paperwork they need to get through. and then taking those buses as kind of a streamlined process to get past the taliban. mexico has accepted its 1st group of refugees from i've got this done more than 100. people arri

a u. s. plane, he's telling me, don't know, the carrier has just landed. another one has just taken often, that's a military plane using the pool. they are a commercial plan, but of course the u. s. and people yesterday and the last few days that they need to get out and they need to get a quick if they couldn't afford it. they would give them a short term loan and they were telling them they were as far as i could tell, no official american military or official planes coming in. they told him to use commercial at transport to get out any of the commercial flights. but as we've been here and know they are all full today. if they're going to leave it all remains to be seen. given the news that the taliban is now in, circling, cobble their price, what they wanted, they say there will be no recrimination. they say the reason they're doing this is that they want to hold back on the negotiating right now with us rough connie and others chef on the of course of janice times president. his fate remains to be seen . of course, his political fate and personal fate.

u. s. is moving 3000 more troops to campbell. let's go to mike canada. in washington, d. c. might tell us about the u. s. plan. well, it's a rather massive plan, and just a man of the opposite commanding of gun is done, came back here. the mission was a clump pitched, it would appear now. thousands of us troops are being re deployed back into a san, basically to break it down. 3 battalions are going to go into protect the couple port to marine brigades and an army brigade. another battalion is going to go and be stationed in a way to operate as a quick reaction force. and yet another deployment of some, 1000 forces, is being sent to kata. to process the non, the immigrant visas for africa. nationals who the u. s. is evacuating, so the situation of massive ramping up, often american presence. but the state department says that this does not mean that a full scale evacuation for the embassy and couple is being planned. this is what the state department spokesman at to say. that's not true. this is not a full evacuation. this is not where we are, and i think it's a very important distinction between planning and contingency p

a certain amount to the military industrial complex has gotten the idea that they can dictate to reality. and that's what you saw there are certainly people inside the u. s. government who were telling other people inside the u. s. government, this is all going to be fine. we. we spent our $6000000000.00 a year building is fighting force. and it's all going to be fine. the problem is they ran up against 2 things. first of all, the people were actually in the african army. didn't feel that it was a matter to them whether the foreign occupier continued to occupy the country or whether a ruthless dictatorship, religious dictatorship took over. it simply didn't matter enough to them to fight. and part of that was the fact that we're paying them a $150.00 a month, who's going to risk being decapitated, face to face of the taliban warrior for $150.00 a month. the 2nd thing is that people don't really understand this. there's a cultural aversion, believe it or not to dying and war in that part of the world. so what happens instead is something that goes all the way back to ancient egypt. what happens is that the 2 parties decide who's going to went ahead of time who's going to lose, which

but that was a consider judgment at the time. despite the complexity of getting thousands out of afghanistan to tell about, has warned the u. s. and allies of consequences if a complete troop withdrawal is not completed by the pentagons on august 31st deadline. since the mass evacuation started from cobble airport, 20 people have been killed in crushes and stampedes with thousands more chewing outside in the hopes of fleeing the country, local journalists told us the situation on the ground. ah, only foreign military flights are updated from inside of cobbler international airport. have a great day foreign diplomats and i've gone seek you guys who work for international troops and for either enjoy for enjoy us. i've got information now because we have been shut down for 48 hours to have a quick people that they are already the size of the airport. now we are, and one of the rushes gate of college or national airport, you can see that it still 100 people are waiting outside of the gate and hope to get a chance to go inside of the airport. ah, this audio is my work for 3 years for foreign troops. all my documents are approved f

u. s. decision a mistake. but morris says, tell about medicines, clearly have momentum across the country, and that i'm gonna start heading towards civil war predicting to that the battle scar nation, but again become a breeding ground for al qaeda. reporting next from outside, the british defense ministry. his shoddy edwards dashti for options on the table. that is the latest from the u. k. is defense secretary friend wanted to see twice to prevent an all out civil war enough on the stone is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the country now, ever since the us taliban peace still, what we've seen is nature. we have all begun to retrieve what flashes this power political vacuum in the region, seeing the tale around totally taking control and tipping that balance of power. now not only will a poverty of course increase on political destabilization, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise and that's why you case defense. secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. now w

u. s. among those who serves in afghanistan during the last 20 years. david roach is a former plato operations director. joint chiefs of staff. he says, time will tell if the u. s. mission was worth it or not. we never fully addressed corruption within the afghan government. and what we see here is not a military defeat. we've seen us failure of morale, a collapse of government, where forces decided not to fight because they had no confidence in their leaders. what we're seeing is this idea that you can build a modern military without having a corresponding civilian government and the, it's like painting over rust. i mean we, we had a civilian government that was fundamentally corrupted, tribal tried to built the modern military to support it. perhaps we ignored the clouds, which imperative that you have to have the people, the military, you know, and, and the government. and it failed. there has been a fundamental transformation of society in afghanistan, there's levels of education and empowerment of women. but if the taliban behaves the way they did before, you know, it's sort of a central ation coming ruge. then they can reverse that just throug

justification to be on a us government sponsored flight need to reach out and contact them. much has been made of the fact that tell us persons in another country are not automatically known to the u. s. embassy, that's a matter of us law, a matter of respecting american citizens privacy. and so you are not compelled, when you go to another country, to tell the embassy or the consulate near you, that you are actually in country. it is a purely voluntary stuff. and so that does make it complicated for the u. s. government as it tries to make these plans and to establish these evacuation flights. it might, however, be a little bit easier because there are so many people from not just the united states for, from other countries who have been relying upon the good services of afghan nationals during this 20 year long war. and so they have been petitioning the u. s . government to try to make arrangements to get these people out of afghanistan because they believe that their relationship with the u. s. government or us based organizations makes them targets by the taller bond. so they're really working off rough estimate, they do a little le status statistical work to try to extrapolate t

u. s. and the u. k. was egg on their faces because they've been telling us for 20 years that they're trying to set up a government there and they have failed miserably. because the whole thing was a racket to make money for the weapons industry will never about nation building or about delivering democracy was while making money for the private sector. it's that simple. you the western world, they claim it's about human rights. they say that recognizing a taliban government, a potential taliban government is contingent upon human rights. but again, i find this hard to believe. i think the real factor is not human rights for them. it's whether it's profitable, whether it's convenient for their foreign policy objectives. i think the most important thing to see how russia, china and iran deal with ghana, stan and, you know, consider ties with, with them. not necessarily the united states alone because obviously the taliban have, you know, they've called their bluff. more british i'm gotten evacuated, arrived on a military base in the u. k. with the british official responsible for the evacuation, noting the taliban
