u. s. state department, the policy planning study in a foreign relations of the united states. 948, then the world war 2. he was very realistic. you said we have about 50 percent of the world's wealth, but only 6.3 percent of its population. in this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment our real task and the coming period is devised staff pattern relationships, which are met us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment for national security. we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming. we cannot afford the luxury of altruism. we're going benefits that faction we cannot, should dispenser, the aspiration to be light or to be the our brother's keeper. we need to cease to talk about vague and unreal objects such as human rights. raising a living standards democrat is ation day is not far off. you're going to have to deal with straight power concepts. now i think that really has been the policy of united states, except that we've kept the rhetoric it's questionable with united states has ever been all of that algebra sti

u. s. on friday was lyn jordan's following developments from the u. s. state department. it all comes down to whether you are the people who are theoretically eligible under this expanded refugee designation can actually get out of the country. that is the 1st step for any person who wants to claim refugee status in another country. they have to leave their home country, and this is a very difficult prospect because many of the people who were working with us based media organizations or n g o r, in parts of the country now controlled by the tall, a bond. the us military is for all intents and purposes, basically out of the country, it has not been involved in the relocation so far of afghan interpreters and their families. and so because they weren't involved in that process, it's basically the same situation with those who work with n g o or media organizations. these people are essentially on their own. they have to find their way out of the country in order to start the process of trying to come to the united states unless there is some sort of breakthrough in diploma

u. s. on friday or roslyn, jordan's following developments from the u. s. state department moment. imagine that this is possibly good news for many afghans. is it as good as they think it might be? well, it really comes down to whether or not the people who are covered by this expansion in the special refugee program that the u. s. is establishing for certain afghan citizens as whether they can actually take advantage of it. many of the people who are being covered by this either don't have enough time served, working with the us military or with the u. s. government, as well as those who worked with us based in g o or us based media organizations. this is a question of these people living all over a country in which as we just heard from charlotte balance, the taliban is increasingly in control. and so they're going to have to figure out how to get out of afghanistan to a 3rd country, which is where they can engage with the us government on trying to gain that refugee status and ultimately be resettled here in the united states. it's not going to be an easy process. first, they ha

u. s. state department, as well as other american officials, had been cautioning americans, we know there are at least 1500 that are still awaiting evacuation. they were told not to go to the airport because of concerns of what has now transpired. and that is some sort of explosion. what we are told is that this is potentially a suicide bomber that is behind that nation. now, given the fact that there was a warning in advance, it's not clear how many americans in addition to the service member, may potentially be affected by this. but again, this now begs the question about what is next. now the years president, up until today, had been very firm about the withdrawal of us troops to be completed by august 31st . but he said that with that being contingent on the continued evacuation of those that needed to get out prior to that withdrawal deadlines. he also said that he was drawing up contingency plans and had directed the pentagon to do so, but did not provide any details. so the question becomes whether or not the president would now be exploring whether to exercise some of those contin

u. s. state department, including the u. s. secretary of state, who says that this move could actually endanger poland standing when it comes to investment more on that in a minute. but let's break down exactly what happened here. at stake is discovering that works. majority ownership of poland, largest tv network tv in. if this bill becomes a law, it would likely require the discovery cell at stake in the network. the united states is also deeply troubled by draft legislation pass today by the lower house of the polish parliament that targets the most watched independent new station, which is also one of the largest us investments in the country. anthony blank in the us secretary of state said in a statement on wednesday, but that is the point discovery channel claims that this bill targets them directly . it seems to tv and license expires on september 26th of this year, but the vote to move the bill forward was not without controversy. the government lost a procedural vote on wednesday afternoon and the opposition managed

u. s. state department issues a new warning to americans in that country officials say they have specific information about a credible threat. now the taliban sealing off couples airport to most afghans as nato nations wrap up evacuation flights lucas tomlinson now shows us what the military is revealing about that drone strike that report. killed an isis planner in retaliation for thursday's fatal suicide bombing outside the airport. officials say the two isis fighte more attacks against us forces at the airport in kabul, part of what president biden warrants could be another isis attack sometime in the next 24 to 36 hours here at the pentagon john kirby spoke about who us forces killed. they lost a planner and they lost a facilitator and they've got one wounded and the fact that two of these individuals are no law, well longer walking on the face of the earth. that's a good thing it's a good thing for the people of afghanistan and it's a good thing for our troops and our forces at that airfield foxes told a us military reaper drone launch from al dhafra arab asian united arab emirates to carry out

u . s. military, the state department was cautioning americans not to go to cobbles airport because they feared some sort of attack was imminent. now we know that there has been not one but 2 attacks or one we understand potentially a complex attack. according to the pentagon, certainly also as suicide bomber as i understand. so this is obviously a great concern to the united states because the fear is if there are more attacks, it makes it very difficult plan. so that is where this intelligence is so critical that i can tell you the defense intelligence agency is working very hard to cultivate and correlate all of that information along with the central intelligence agency or cia that is also working in and around the country. so all of this information is being fed into the situation room, what we don't believe that the president is currently there. now, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he will go back into that classified setting on occasion throughout the day to regularly be briefed and updated. that is what the white house is telling us. and also to hear this intellige

u. s. treasury and state department, sending funds to iran and that way we can.fense legally to the banking system to iran, and then we can address in need for the food shortage, where the water shortage and for the other necessities medical supplies that are going to be needed in that area. from what i'm hearing when the grants from what i hear from our teams on the grounds you're telling me that they already a chance have been set up. small camps have been set up in 13 of the regions in iran, which is system valuation shots. khorasan and harrison rhapsodies and we are expecting the flood of the people within the next few weeks, so we love to be prepared to provide the necessities that these refugees they have should they are settled into a comfortable situations after having to leave their home. yeah it really is quite difficult at that time. yes as we can all imagine, i mean, it really is remarkable what you're doing there, but i want to go back to the situation in afghanistan. you mentioned what you've been doing in regards to helping women. young girls get e

encroach on cobble, we do continue to engage with taliban representatives in doha, from the state department team. the u. s. military had spoken to engagement with the taliban on the ground in cobble. and again, we are working on a couple different fronts, 1st and foremost, to seek to preserve calm in cobble, to maintain, semblance of security. and very importantly, to underscore that any effort, any attempt to targets to threaten to intimidate our personnel or our operations would be meant with a swift and decisive responding that there's no agreement with the telephone for, for the us military to run the airport to run the airspace to be in control and if there is an agreement, how long does the agreement we have engaged with the taliban? we have had discussions. i would say that some of those discussions have been constructive. but again, when it comes, when it comes to the top of on, we're going to look for their actions, rather than listen to their words. and then secondly, the logistical thing is on the embassy compound itself, which is now abandoned. do you have you taken any measures to secure that

u. s. u. k. are sending more than 3 and a half 1000 troops to cobble to help with the evacuation embassy staff, and local interpreters, state us state department says it's embassy will remain in the national envoys at talks in doha, have released the final statement, encouraging the taliban and the african government to build trust and accelerate the peace process. how much am june has more? after the conclusion of 3 days of african talks here in doha, a final statement was issued by the envoys from the us. copper, china, pakistan, and other countries in attendance. and it said that the peace process in afghanistan must be accelerated as a matter of great urgency. now, the envoys also reaffirmed that they will not recognize any government in afghanistan that is imposed through the use of military force. over the course of 3 days. the envoys here in doha met separately with both the delegations of the afghan government as well as the taliban delegation. this was difficult and delicate diplomacy. very few concrete details emerged from the meetings that were all held behind closed doors. and many of the diplomats who were present were load to spe

u. s. embassy of genesis website. the state department was in charge of civilian evacuations. they failed miserably and continued to fail when the dust settles. it's hard to see how secretary blinking should fill up a job when a birth not a dime of that makes its way to the us treasury. our entire government is reported out is scamarus, liars, and thieves. now the scenes that the cobble airport had been a huge source of embarrassment for the white house and their attempts to save face . amid that embarrassment and biden's dropping poll numbers. they haven't really gone over very well. here's the biden, basically rushing off such questions. in his recent interview, we've all seen the pictures. we've seen those hundreds of people packed into a c. 17. we've seen, afghans thought was 4 days ago, 5 days ago. just to help the us president, people were falling off of airplanes on monday, i want to warn the viewers. these are some rather disturbing images of what happened at the airport. but the u. s. a is not only investigating situations where people fell off of the airplanes, but a

u. s. embassy stuff out of the country, as the state department says that it'll dramatically reduce its diplomats in cobble . and although this looks like an evacuation officials try to strike an optimistic note. this is not abandonment. this is not an evacuation. this is not the wholesale. busy withdrawl, what this is, is a reduction in the size of our civilian footprint. this is a draw down of civilian americans. there are 3000 us military personnel headed for afghanistan to secure what it's calling a safe, draw down of american civilian personnel. basically, u. s embassy, staff, and others are going to be a score to out of the country by the military. the military will be there to make sure that they're not harmed in the process. now we do know at this point that the taliban after receiving, receiving and seizing several provinces in a single day, is now engine closer to the capital city of cobble. but on tuesday, joe biden made clear that washington is not going to step in to rescue cobble in this situation. african leaders have to come together. we lost thousands at last death and

u. s. is reiterating its warnings with the state department saying that the situation around the cobble airport remains very tense. just as a charles stratford was telling us a few moments ago and that there are the credible threats of violence. so there are they're telling american citizens us citizens not to gather near cobble airport. as far as the explosions that we heard about a moment ago were trying to get some more information about that on this end. and we'll give that to you whenever we have it available. the u. s. says that it is drawing down its diplomatic presence in afghanistan, evacuating embassy personnel. as of the 1st of september, there will be no us diplomatic presence in the country of afghan, a stand. and so rob on this, the comments from the u. s. national security advisor that there would be some leeway on this january on august 31st. the deadline for evacuating well, and it's, it's not clear exactly who the national security advisor jim sullivan is talking about. but we do know that the u. s. will have to remove its personnel from the airport once it is finished with ev

u. s. president has asked the pentagon the and state department to prepare contingency plans in case the withdrawal timeline needs to be extended. earlier the taliban insisted it will not allow western troops to remain beyond that august 31 deadline. that means evacuation of thousands of foreign nationals and at risk afghans scrambling to get out must happen before that. dice g 7 late is have cold on the taliban to guarantee safe passage out of afghanistan. once the withdrawal deadline passes. charles stratford begins our coverage from the afghan capital. us president says the august the 31st deadline still stairs. we are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st. the sooner we can finish the better each day of operation is, brings at risk to our troops. but the completion bog is 31st depends upon the tale bond. continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who are transport, we're transporting out. no disruption to our operations. military aircraft continue to take off from cobble airport. it's a 24 hour operation on board, some of the 10s of thousands of peop

the white house, the state department, the pentagon, the u. s. embassy incorporated all been wanting us citizen to stay away from the airport, where the people have listened to them. is another thing that because we've seen how desperate people have been to try and get out via carl international, wasn't this just a miserable target for islamic state? terrorists, we've seen the pictures of people crammed in the push them against the barriers, despite being told to stay away, the people weren't really listening. presumably the, the, is on the state. so this isn't a missile target. absolutely, i mean, one of the, the criticisms that were undoubtedly you'll be put forward in any future in investigation or, you know, committee look at this operation will be the inevitability of this, this kind of attack that, you know, the united states created the conditions for this very incident in the manner in which this operation unfolded. so yeah, and we need to realize that just because, you know, the one bomb went off. there's real potential for additional a
