i met a television take over the saw both the u. s. supported president and central bank officials playing the country. the afghan government is used to receiving around $5000000000.00 in foreign aid from the u. s. every single year. and while pull out efforts were under way earlier this year, the buying and ministration requested an additional $300000000.00 from congress to help funding the government as the us military made its exit. now, ironically that number of 300000000 is the amount us taxpayers have spent every single day over the last 20 years on what has now become the longest war in us history. but despite all of that money, the government that was built and funded by the u. s. and as allies fell within a matter of days, it was supposed to be protected by the afghan security forces, which were funded by the u. s. c to the tune of $83000000000.00 over the last 2 decades. but thanks to their swift collapse, the taliban was given not just political power, but also the gift of fire power in the form of guns and ammunition helic

u. s. both the government, both an army and they all fell apart and just like that. and so now we're at this point where finally there's some people who are talking and saying, well, what about the civilians? well, those civilians who have been under the us war for 20 years, who have dealt with bombing year after year. now they are struggling with their new reality. and so i think that that's a good segue into our next topic, which is that we look at these civilians in this country. we see that hundreds of them were lining up to withdraw their own money as a result of the tolerant and take over, trying to get it out of their bank accounts as they fled from their home. and at the same time, the scene has led bitcoin enthusiasts to point out how the broad adoption of crypto could have changed. not only the current chaos surrounding the control of the country, central bank, but also the entire war that led up to it. so for more on this spring in tucker, president of the brownstone institute, now jeffrey, were talking about a nation here where government and central bank

u. s. as both stood, it's contingent at the airport by a 1000 extra soldiers that has resumed, but they still have thousands more people to clear. and there's also been a resumption of charter flights and flights by the other military's who have have had a presence here getting their own embassy people out. and also people connected with their missions here who, who feel bundle, who feel that they would be susceptible to to retaliation by the taliban if they stayed here or thinks about roman pride with that update from a couple let's say now from the native secretary general that jens dolton beg, who's called on the taliban to facilitate the departure of all those who want to leave afghanistan. so beg, also playing the afghan forces for what is happening in couple right now. the african political leadership failed to stand up to the taller bomb. and to achieve the peaceful solution that africans desperate they wanted. this failure ask, i need to ship, lead to the tragedy we are witnessing today. we

u. s will help both u. s citizens and afghan allies leave the country safely.promise with the final outcome will be or what it will be, that will be without risk of loss, but as commander in chief, i can assure you that i will mobilize every resource necessary, president biden said. the u. s will keep troops in the country until all americans have left even if that means keeping a military presence after the planned august 31st deadline for withdrawal, bay area leaders and organizations are working hard to get as many americans an afghani afghan allies out. out of the country earlier today, the afghan coalition, south asians for america and east bay congressman eric swalwell held a virtual town hall to help clarify the visa application process for afghan americans trying to help family members get to the u. s the congressman is urging families in need to message him directly via social media or head to his resources website for help with visa applications, and today he shared a positive text that he received. husband wife, four kids they did, as instructed, mad

u. s. embassy in both instances. boynkin saying that this is not saigon. he said this is the us leaving the country because he says that the mission to prevent terrorist attacks after $911.00, which was the reason that that us troops entered afghan. instead, he said, was accomplished. and that it is simply not in the u. s. interest to remain in afghanistan as we heard from the president yesterday. there has been no sort of regret in, in ordering this withdrawal, which is still on track for all us combat troops to soon be out of the country. however, there is certainly pushback from the u. s. from some senators, in particular, marcia blackburn, a republican from tennessee and a member of the armed services committee, saying that this is quote, an utter disaster. what is unfolding? cobble right now with the evacuation of the u. s embassy, heidi, thank you so much heidi to counselor there with the latest on mr. lincoln's comments out of washington. we're in compensation again with harun raheem, me, an analyst and college professor. i guess her and out of hist

both in the criminal sense and the civil sense. today marks 60 years since the 1st use of agent orange by the u. s. military and vietnam. the highly toxic herbicide on the fully and cause the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people both vietnamese and american retired u. s. navy commander and lawyer john well spoke to us about the consequences of the chemical and the attempts of veterans and claiming compensation. today, there was cases what they call the ring per besides. and it was used primarily for d, for the asian edge and orange was so name because there was an orange strike around the center of the barrel. of the things like agent blue had a blue stripe, agent, pink, think, stripe, and so on, so forth. as far as we know, agent orange was the worst that some of the others are besides the same chemical components. now, significant portion we would say, currently we're looking at about a $110000.00 claims have been filed. some of those are the same person, multiple plans for the same person, but it's probable that we're, i would say 706070 percent of those folks had some problems. a former us soldiers are still

both among local, then us and jurors. the veteran tells us that its time the u. s. united states had learned a lesson and i certainly hope they do because we wind up spending a lot of time causing a lot more pain and we have to ah, taking you from moscow to the world. this is artsy, it's a busy news day. let's get straight into our stories. anti vaccination protesters in london clashed with police while trying to storm the old headquarters of the b. b. c. the broadcaster largely moved its operations from the building a few years ago. the demonstrators are furious about government plans to start inoculating teenagers and the b b c's rule. they say in promoting in the last week the government denies cobra vaccines would be offered to wall 16 and 17 year olds without needing parental consent. its believe the national health service will soon be instructed to start giving the 1st doses to about $1400000.00 teenagers. something that government sees is necessary in the face of the highly contagious delta strain. the pfizer biotech job has also been authorized for children

u. s. trade rep, calling on the by ministration to both resume trade talks and to cut tariffs on chinese made goods in it, they wrote, quote, due to the tariffs, us industries, phase increase cost to manufacturer products and provide services domestically making their exports of these products and services less competitive abroad. so joining us now to break down the list or boom, co host, christie, i and professor richard wolf, post of economic update and the author of the thickness is the system. christy, let's start with you here. now these business groups include farmers, micro trip companies and pharmaceutical companies. so what about the trade war has brought them all together and why are they sending this letter now? yeah, so 30. 2 of the most influential business groups in america, they're all calling on biden to resume these negotiations with china because essentially they want to reduce the import arrows that have become a tremendous drain on the u. s. economy and subsequently their businesses. so the terrorists on chinese electronics and clothing and other goods having kept in

both parties are not necessarily agreeing with this view. that everything is a threat and everything must be addressed by us action, and particularly u. s. military action. and as that grows in both parties, the damage of this politically, the biden, may be muted somewhat. a lot of questions about how the u. s. mis judged how quickly the taliban would take over afghanistan. whether this was an intelligence failure, whether they were guessing the rights information from the cia and so on. what do you think of how it went down? well, another issue here is that, and this is the numbers i'm seeing since 2001 since we started this war about $80000000000.00. we've invested in building the african military. that's an enormous investment. of course, it's been an investment over many years over about 20 years. part of the reason we underestimate how quickly the taliban would take over is because united states and our intelligence ages, in particular, military wanted to believe that our work there had been productive that we had gotten something for $80000000000.00. turns out we didn't. and for me, that is evidence that biden made the right decis

u. s. would be able to restrict both police military to columbia and could even threaten some sort of economic sanctions as it would with any government considered its enemy. because columbia considered the closest ally or one of the closest allies in the hemisphere, the message so far has been rather mixed about police violence and beneath stopping well. and he did meet vice president mother ramirez and said there should be some going to support for, for protest. the colombian government denies all wrong doing, but professor forest healthy. thank you very much. that's it for one of your favorite episodes of the season will be back on september the 8th for a brand new season. still uncovering the stories buried by the so called mainstream media until then, keep in touch with us for social media and let us know who you'd like to see on the next season of going underground. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be

u. we have contacted both the judge and the adoption center for comment will so as leading rights organizations, both in the u. s. m worldwide for their take on the case the european court of human rights and human rights watch still does. they can't comment on the issue. the case has raise public concerns about the proportionality of us cyber laws. and the 1st time it will not aspect is our is daniel hawkins goss fells, wasn't on the 1st case. the headline seized, the computer fraud and abuse act came into force. i don't schwartz, but activist and harvard research fellow was charged under the cna with numerous violations at 1st facing up to 35 years in jail for downloading and releasing academic journals to make them available to all the case. drove him to suicide journalists, matthew keys spent 2 years in prison for providing login detail us to a news website that resulted in the crime of a headline being to go through actions also had consequences, though his intentions may have been good and the resulting damage, arguably minimal, this crime, he was jailed alongside the very worst and the penal system among

u. we contacted both the judge, the adoptive center as well for comment. we've also as a leading rights organizations, both in the u. s. and world wide for their take on the case, the european court of human rights and human rights watch till the state cannot comment on the issue. while executive director of the human rights defense center, paul right sees the law behind martin gods fells imprisonment as open to different interpretations. the problem, a lot of our laws is that it doesn't require necessarily, a malicious attempt to, you know, to access a computer. and the last name is very, fairly vague in terms of what to prescribe. the government, i think, is very happy with the act because the united states, you know, benefit greatly from bank laws that they can basically twist to meet the circumstances of the day or, or whatever it is for seeking to accomplish a moment. and the united states, as, especially in the last 30 years or so has become almost expert at drafting and imposing very broadly worded date. was that impose, you know, fairly devastating sentences. y'all not point. the case raises questions, concern

u. s. than other nation still have both that they're working to evacuate their citizens and africans who have supported them. your secretary state antony blink and i says his country is achieved its mission and i've got this done on projects, comparisons to the fall of saigon in 1975. and what was in south vietnam? let's take a step back. this is manifestly not saigon. the fact the matter is this. we went to afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission in mind. and that was the deal with the people who attacked us on 911. and that mission has been successful. we brought a lot to justice a decade ago, our k to the group that attacked us has been vastly diminished. its capacity to attack us again from afghanistan has been right now, does not exist. and we're going to make sure that we keep in place in the region, the capacity, the forces necessary to see any reemergence of the terrorist threat and to be able to deal with it. so in terms of what we set out to do and f canister, and we've done it, a couple of other headlines rescue teams in haiti erasing to search for survivors off to saturdays, dev

so heads on 0. sworn enemies of both the u. s. on the taliban will tell you about the group, the claimed responsibility for the cavalier for an attack. this is genocide. politicians don't care about it and they have decided our fate. cancer patients and 11 on the victims of a health system on life support. ah . with the cushion sit to ride on the cookie, paralympic one, i want you to investigate japan. problem history of caring for people with disabilities on i'll do 0 september. and this era, as morocco record would be impacted with 19 the country voted parliamentary elections that will shape the future while the listening post dissect the media, how they operate, the stories they cover. and the reason why the 911 attacks that the world 20 years on the war that followed, finally ended and i've gone to sun. but that's what caught, this didn't real, obviously unique, attractive on and happy in history, through the eyes of the fearless and vision we to make it. germany goes to the poles and elections of the angle, america replace up

both the u. s. and the international monetary funds of frozen it's access to billions of dollars to get this money. international communities recognition of a taliban lead government is importance. some factions off the group on runs a un sanctions, and the taliban will need the support of ass guns themselves. fears, rule, and retain a former governance officials and soldiers will speak more about this. we can bring in fulton barricades, he's the director of defense. if a conflict on humanitarian studies, the door institution joins us by skype form. a don't get to have you with us here. on i was just 0, i've just outlined some of the challenges facing the you administration. the question is what happens next? thank you very much, halley. i think the coming few days and weeks will probably test to the limit the strength of international diplomacy. yesterday we saw the united nations resolution and the discussion that's happened and overall i think that was in the right direction. but we still have no

u. we have contacted by the judge on the adoption center for comment. we also asked leading rights organizations both in the u. s. and worldwide for that. take the europe in court of human rights and human rights watch about us that they can comment on the issue that daniel hawkins now reports. golf fells wasn't on the 1st case. the hit headline seems to compute a fraud and abuse. the act came into force irons schwartz, the activist and harvard research fellow, was charged under the c. f. a with numerous violations at 1st facing up to 35 years in jail, for downloading and releasing academic journals to make them available to all the case. drove him to suicide journalists, matthew keys spent 2 years in prison for providing login detail us to a news website that resulted in the crime of a headline being altered, go through actions also had consequences, though his intentions may have been good and the resulting damage arguably minimal, this crime, he was jailed alongside the very worst in the penal system. among them both convicted of involvement with terrorism, piracy, and matthew membership. his unit is commonly

( laughter ) i don't know. again, i did not go to the party. but someone has the answers. and i'll tell you all about it in my new segment: "a-list tub time with the soapy stars." ( rubber ducky squeaking ) first in the tub, ashton kutcher who in a recent interview revealed he and his significant scrubber, mila kunis, don't wash their two children every day. okay. not the kunis-kutcher bubble bath reveal we were hoping for. but kunis explained, "if you can see the dirt on them, clean them. otherwise, there's no point." ( laughter ) okay, that sounds less like a policy for cleaning your kids and more like the policy for cleaning your buick. "eh, it's supposed to rain tonight. just leave mckenzie in the driveway." this interview sent major shock waves through the celebrity scrub-o-sphere. kristen bell sided with team don't-bathe-your-kids, saying "i'm a big fan of waiting for the stink. once you catch a whiff, that's biology's way of letting

u. s. first use agent orange in the herbicide, which was proven to called furious health issues among both local down the american soldiers. a veteran tells us it's time. washington made them and we really need people to sit down and take a look and say, hey, where's is going to do not only to the civilians populations not only for the army but also to our own search. ah, just after mid day, q 8 in sophia. here in moscow this tuesday, the 10th of august, i'm una lee. hello and welcome to the program. and the vaccination protesters in london. flushed with police while trying to storm the old headquarters of the b b. c. the broadcaster moved the vast majority of its operations from the building. 8 years ago. the demonstrators are furious about government plans to start inoculating teenagers and the b b. c rule. they allege in promoting it the last week the government denies cobra vaccines would be offered to all 16 and 17 year olds without. busy needing parental consent, it's believe the national health service will soon be instructed to start giving the 1st doses to about $1400000.00 teenag

kind of standard, one of the world's poorest countries, both the u. s. and the international monetary fund fuson is access to billions of dollars to get this money. the international community is recognition of a taliban lead. government is importance. but remember that some factions off the group bar on the un sanctions the telephone will need the support of africans to the fears will retain former government, soldiers and officials. well, there's san valencia and i've got a son about what the future holds for the nation. the taliban says the government will be announced in the coming days that here it is a story the day we proud to have reached this day. we congratulate the people, the arabs and all muslims. we are finding, gain, our freedom and independence. the future will be bright and we will have peace and stability as the government will take shape in the coming few days. is too early to speak about who will be part of it, but we have covered about 90 to 95 percent and will announce the final outcome in the coming days. that's been in fulton barr

while argentina does have its own national currency, it also relies heavily on both the u. s. dollar and the international monetary fund . in fact, the country is currently indebted to the i am not to the tune of $45000000000.00, and the fund has already issued a warning to all salvador to try to compet from adopting crypto. so joining us now, josh is doing bus co host an crypto analyst, christy. i know christy what kind of an impact could bitcoin have on a country like argentina where skyrocketing inflation has become almost normal? yeah, well big client has huge potential to thrive and say the argentine economy argentina is basically struggling from enormous that obligations to high inflation. and that's all been compounded by coven 19. so it drove its population to seek alternative ways to store their wealth. as the government had to limit us dollar purchases by citizens. so dollar purchases shrank to only $200.00 a month for a citizen with a 35 percent tax on top. if you can't buy the us dollar to store your wealth, the next best thing is crypto. and in a recent survey, 7

that has been the warning from both the u. s. military and from the taliban themselves under also the usa that they are prepared possibly for rockets attacks on the airport. so as long as this evacuation exercise goes on, it does remain that extremely vulnerable target and the ice on those that better than any water body else. i think this attack has also changed the dynamics here and the relationship and how i still is regarded, you know, until until last night i saw was probably not a big priority for the taliban. you know, for 20 years they have had a common enemy in the united states and coalition forces last night that really changed the dynamic here. and so, going forward, looking beyond the departure of the american forces here, it's interesting to just speculate about what the relationship might be between the us forces and, and the taliban in taking on iso. because a lot of the, a lot of the number of the victims in the says de bombing where of course, taliban fighters, so they will be seeking revenge. and the americans

challenge and number one, there is to secure the safe exit of the troops that are currently present, both the u. s. and the lives and the, the risk that, of course, the, this will be a massive logistical challenge for the americans to get that volume of troops out of the country. but do you have any indication that they know what's going to happen after that deadline? because fact, huge american presence did a lot more than just fights on the grains they were, they were there to gather intelligence. they were there it's, it's, it's keep all eyes and ears. what do you think happens in terms of regional security when, when the us tools, i mean, who fills up voids that enormous voice? because as you said, it's a significant number of personnel. i have to get out while absolutely, and as i said, the immediate situation is that you have to ensure that you get the personnel off and it's always personnel over equipment. and, but that, that also means that you to that time was not the, the 31st of august on to say that their lines actually already passed for the evacuations. so, so now it's far too to get

we also asked leading human rights organizations both in the u. s. and worldwide for their take on mr. gospels case, the european court of human rights and human rights watch till this. they cannot comment on the issue. we discussed the story with the executive director of the human rights defense center. paul, right? this is the law behind martin got felt imprisonment is open to different interpretations. probably a lot of other laws is that it doesn't require necessarily, a malicious attempt to, you know, to access a computer. and the last name is vert, fairly vague. in terms of what to prescribe, the government, i think, is very happy with the hacked because the united states, you know, benefit greatly from the big laws that they can basically twist to meet the circumstances of the day or, or whatever it is for seeking to accomplish a moment and the united states is especially in the last 30 years or so has become almost expert at drafting and imposing very broadly. we're to date was that impose, you know, fairly devastating sentences. golf else w

u. s. to becky waited from background at both the principal military airport within counties on it has lost the capability to be able to easily strike a round can to haul in the regions around kandahar, thereby limiting any us ariel aid for the afghan forces on the ground attempting to prevent taliban from taking over kandahar. so this is just one of the many issues being looked at by the fight and, and administration. president biden himself insist that he does not regret his decision to withdraw saying it's up to the afghans to resolve the situation. and up to the afghan generals, to repulse the taliban. why can't i? thank you very much. international invoice that talks in doha of release to final statement, encouraging the taliban and african government to build trust and accelerate the peace process. i'm a jump room is in the country capital with more. it says participants agreed that the peace process needs to be accelerated as a matter of great urgency. on the basis of the negotiations of concrete proposals from both sides, participants called for a stop to violence and attacks immedi

well, it both could be true. the u. s. military, even before the president has requested it, is always drawing up contingency plan. my husband is a veteran of the us military. and so as my photographer standing behind this camera and they will both the test, but rarely does a plan ever go as scheduled. in fact, just the opposite is what they plan for. and that is really standard protocol, the u. s. military. so as a result, we know that there has been plans for things to go wrong. whether that is made public relatively, i'm pretty sure it isn't. but what i can tell you is that these plans are in place . the question becomes, the commander in chief, the president has to decide whether to execute on the plan. all the u. s. military commanders can do the general's can do is advise the president. but you have to remember the president is the highest military official in charge of the us military. and he needs to make that ultimate decision. he has been very forthcoming to the us public up to this point about why he was sticki

yeah, i think it depends a lot on the politics and the rhetoric of congress, members of both parties, the u. s. media outlets. there is certainly nothing worse about the taliban and then 1520 other governments. i could name that the united states fully supports and arms and drains their militaries. the question is whether the enemy of my enemy or rhetoric will outweigh the, the possibility of republican scoring points against biden, by suggesting that he's on the side of the worst enemy in history. because everyone's, of course, forgotten that the united states supported some of the same people in decades gone by. do you think that the u. s. will now continue to launch drone strikes against isis k. now that they have left the country? and if so, do you think that they'll do it with the telephones consent? i think the united states will, as it has openly promised, in the voice of its president, continue to stand missiles into homes and cars and public squares of blowing up human beings. and even if they're 8 years old, it will tell us that they are leading extremist terrorist, evil doers of whe

we are leading human rights organizations to comment on got us health case, both in the u. s. and worldwide. ah . or shifting gears to i'm going to stop now where taliban fighters have reportedly made another major again, have a look at this map right here. they've. she's control of a regional capital, we understand. is there 1st such victory in 5 years now? according to local media, the city of around the center of the number of province fell without resistance. so far the afghan government has not commented on that situation in particular. meanwhile, residents of another regional capital in the province of fleeing their homes, market street in the city of being closed due to the threat of attack. as afghan armed forces are battling taliban fighters in the area, the locals that they describe the situation to us. i left my home and came to to car. i don't know where we ought to go. where to live. why we are suffering such difficult is the security situation in caca significantly worse than the exchanges are closed, the markets are closed for the taliban have completely surroun

u. s. and china and accusations from both sides of security breaches. so the plan is designed to protect chinese interest and to help support the chinese economy in the coming decade. and this include pilot projects for the state supervise data trading markets. so the idea of this splinter net where you have a western internet and the eastern internet has existed for a while, but the trade war last year and deepening mistrust has now fuel the wave. data is becoming a critical battleground between china and the us. and both sides fear the other that unchecked collection by private firms could allow state actors to weaponized information on infrastructure and other national interests. and then of course, the other reason why china tiny script on sensitive data is to potentially help buoy slowing economic growth. this information could range from just about anything from health records and court documents to maps and shopping history. and this could then be categorized standardized and valued, making a commodity to be traded. and this is something that chi

u. s. would be able to restrict both police military to columbia and could even threaten some sort of economic sanctions as it would with any government considered its enemy. because columbia is considered the closest ally, or one of the closest allies in the hemisphere. the message so far has been rather mixed about police violence and beneath stopped well and he did meet vice president mother ramirez and said there should be some going to support for for protest. the colombian government denies all wrong doing, but professor forest help me. thank you very much. that's it for one of your favorite episode of the season will be back on some.

that the attack, the explosions were then followed by he said, isis gunman, opening fire on both civilians and u. s. military personnel as well. he said the isis threat quote remains extremely real. it manifested itself, there been warnings manifested itself with these explosions in cobble today. he said, we believe the attacks will continue. the question is, how it was carried out. they said they're, they're continuing to gather the evidence to investigate exactly the circumstances . but what it sounds like is that there's this sewage drainage ditch that runs along the side of the road and goes basically to that gate and that hundreds of people is not more. we're basically waiting through the, you know, the need deep water and that it's possible that this isis attacker basically mixed in with the crowd and a designated those explosives. and that they were probably government thought by the sound of it. also mixed in with the men women and children. there were certainly warnings we've been talking about this happen. the u. s. embassy in cobble issue warnings to americans late wednesday to avoid goi

u. s ended up on top in both total medals and gold totaling one more gold than china when it was all saidympic committee. was next, followed by great britain, the host country and then australia. hard to believe that's all over. you know, you build up to it. you build up to it two weeks, poof. it's gone. i know it goes so fast. i love some of that track and field too. all right, joe. thank you. and thank you for joining us, everyone. we'll be back tonight for the 10 and 11 o'clock news. for the 10 and 11 o'clock news. have a good evening, eve i don't know why i avoided the harry potter books for so long. these are great. i just started number six. that's a good one. dumbledore dies in that one. yeah, i know, i didn't see it coming, either. why would you say that? you brought up a subject. i contributed an interesting fact on that subject. it's called the art of conversation. okay, your turn. that was a huge spoiler. good. what is wrong with you? if i did that, you'd bitch about it for weeks. oh, really, leonard? are you going to have another one of your hissy fits? hissy fits? i have hiss

u. s. would be able to restrict both police and military to columbia and could even threaten some sort of economic sanctions as it would with any government it considered its enemy. but because columbia is considered the closest ally or one of the closest allies in the hemisphere, the message so far has been rather mixed about police violence and beneath stopping well. and he did meet vice president mother ramirez and said there should be some going to support for, for protest. the colombian government denies all wrong doing, but professor forest healthy. thank you very much. that's it for one of your favorite episodes of the season will be back on september the 8th for brand new season. still uncovering the stories varied by the so called mainstream media until then, keep in touch with us for social media and let us know who you'd like to see. on the next season of going undergrad. ah, join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then me the top headlines with us our live on our t to us lash

because of this attack or does it both for some people, does it actually both to the argument that the u. s. needs to get out? i think it's the, i think it's the ladder. i think for many americans, it's going to be proof that united states has no place in afghanistan and should be leaving. you know, i do look at the polling data. i've been against the withdrawal from day one. and i think we also, as the other guys have acknowledged, have to recognize that there's a vacuum ration has been poorly planned. i know the administration is trying to put out positive news about how many people have been evacuated from the country. and that's great. but you know, there's been a lot of happ hazard and a half hazard. nature of this evacuation and withdrawal essentially led in a direct line to what we saw yesterday. we lost 13 troops yesterday. this was a terrible day in the united states. afghanistan lost many, many citizens that were killed and moving innocent civilians including children. it's heartbreaking to watch this and i think we, you're right, there's immense pressure for the administration to

u. s. representative there, once again, reiterating that both sides need to recommit to piece, particularly it's all about indeed, and he called on the international community to help fill the void that has been left by his countries. withdrawal of troops from the region. we heard very strong that calls for action during this session from the un representative for afghanistan. in particular, we're getting a picture of a very dire situation in the country. as the taliban has advanced on cities, this was predicted by deborah lyons 6 weeks ago. and we've seen that it is the taliban that has been advancing and the government forces who have been responding and it's civilians who have been caught in the crossfire. there's been over a 1000 casualties and just the last month that's a 50 percent increase in casualties. refugees streaming over the border. and what we're hearing from you and officials is the need for a strong international response. the call from deborah lions was for demands for an end to be attacks on cities and end to the violence in a unified pressure on the taliban. in particula
