u. s. would abide by its agreement to leave originally. that deadline was may extended to the end of august. and so now the issue is, what would happen if the u. s. were to extend it and that cease fire would. and there are some us officials advisors to president biden, who are urging him not to extend the deadline for that very reason. well, cobbled airport remains chaotic. they all reportedly 14000 people waiting there with at least 10000 more on the side hoping to get in. security is also a concern. on monday gunfire was heard at the airport, which saw africa forces and us in german troops take on an identified gunman. a group of african evacuation has arrived in virginia as part of the u. s. evacuation operation being temporarily house that an expert center before they take into military basis for bases are working to build the capacity to host about 25000 off gowns in the coming days. some critics have various concerns about the swift vetting process. taliban fighters have reached the outskirts of the pantry valley. the only region in afghanistan, not under their control of position leaders and former government troops have created a resistance g

u. s. has spent nearly. 822 billion to pay for it. also during that time, 2400 u. s troops were killed along with 3800 u. s contractors and 66,000 members of the afghan military, 47,000. afghan civilians were also killed along with 51,000 members of the taliban, the question to be debated and discuss now. is relatively simply simple. what if anything, did american forces accomplish during those 20 years for more on the withdrawal from afghanistan? you can go to our website ktvu .com. now to our other top story in haiti, where the death toll from that massive 7.2 earthquake yesterday sword today to almost 1300, with many more missing, the white house said today it's sending a search and rescue team of 60 people with specialized equipped been to help find survivors. fox news, alex hogan tells us it's a race against time before the arrival of a tropical storm. the focus in haiti now on search and rescue for anyone trapped under the rubble, with thousands still missing after a 7.2 magnitude quake led to widespread destruction throughout the country. saturday's earthquake struck just

u. s. would abide by its agreement to leave originally. that deadline was may extended to the end of august. and so now the issue is what would happen if the u. s. were to extend it and that cease fire would. and there are some us officials advisors to president biden, who are urging him not to extend the deadline for that very. ready reason that us troops could be in peril, and congressman adam shift left, a classified briefing in congress on monday, saying that he thinks the chances of the us getting everyone out in time are slim and growing. slimmer given the logistical difficulties of moving people to the airport and the limited number of workarounds. it's hard for me to see that being fully complete by the end of the month. and i'm certainly of the view that we maintain a military presence as long as it's necessary to get all us persons out and to meet our moral and ethical obligation to our african partners. the white house is in any case, it will leave no american behind, but there are plenty of other people trying to get out. there are allies to the us that the us has made in a commitment to help get out. and then there are those special immi

u. s troops were marines outside the gates are outside of the airport for additional perimeter security and then finally with all of this is there any discussion about sending any additional u s troops to kabul airport for additional security measures uh so let me actually answer the last part of your question first we assess we have the forces. we need to protect ourselves there. i'm always in a constant dialogue with the secretary if i needed anything else, i'd be talking to him immediately but i think we have what we need to protect ourselves so let's talk a little bit about the threat strings so very very real threats. dreams very very uh what we would call tactical that means imminent could occur at any moment and they range from rocket attacks. we know that they would like to lava rock it in there. if they could. now we actually have pretty good protection against that. we have our our and i'm rocket and mortar system the gun systems that those who have been out they were very familiar with that are pretty effective against these kinds of attacks we have well positioned around the

u. s. were taken by surprise and how quickly the taliban took over the capitol in the country. was this a failure of intelligence or logistics? what is the view from the white house right now? what about administration continues to insist that it was put in this position by the p still that the former president did with the taliban back in may last year. then the donald trump agreed to withdraw his forces by the end of may. this year when president biden took over, he extended that line to the end of august, but still, president biden himself says he does not regret his decision to go ahead with the withdrawal members. office administration arguing very strongly that they do. it was not an intelligence failure. they did expect at some stage that the taliban was going to come back strongly, but clearly they never expect to be that which taliban would over the country president by did himself saying that that scenario was unlikely just a month ago. so there is mixed messages to a degree from the administration, whether it continues to insist that all is going according to plan, e

were like the soldiers. but when you removed the u. s. and nato forces, the african military couldn't fight and certainly didn't want to fight because of the psychological blow of the u. s. pulling out which i think, even in the pentagon, they had not really expected. president biden to follow through all. and i think the u. s. also were looking at a map of afghanistan, which had provinces. districts on it. the taliban looked at a map of that had the tribal divisions, and i've got to start on it and they managed to work those tribes. they managed to find the right power brokers so that they were able to take province of the province. and in many cases, there wasn't much of a fight. of course, at the provincial capital that valid taliban also took control of every major border crossing in the country. the last to be seized was the crossing toward come one of the largest gateways between afghanistan and pakistan. come all hide reports on that now from islam of eyes, hitch rated at the end of the hive of bars. down of tor come the border and

bloss supposedly shook an area around a hotel where british officials were processing afghans to fly to the u. k, around the sun, 13 u. s. service members were among the dead along with $28.00 taliban. also known that 3 brits, including a child, were killed and other wanting more potentially distressing pitchers to show you here on the program on r t. a covered bodies of victims have been laid out now on the streets with grieving families identifying and collecting last love. we spoke to some of those affected so the belinda belinda dixon. i was i was in the sunday waiting for many, many people waiting on british people that doesn't work properly. and some one looks like 20 people other than the tool. again, plus one people like 60 people, the people have no like have no legs. no, that's cross live to cobble right now. where are these more guys? david joining us live from the going capital just off the 9 30 pm where you are very good evening to motor ada. can you give us an update on the situation in the capital also at the airport as well as any semblance of normality returned? well things have been very calm, relative

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 find 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 of the foreign occupier continued 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 is stronger, which is weake

u. s. air force plane cobble, airport report, say human remains were found in the landing gear of the us military transport aircraft following is flight from cobble and gunshots were heard at campbell international airport monday. hundreds of desperate afghans rushed towards the u. s . military jed, also preparing to take off the same tawny and soothing chaos, meant a german plane, only managed to evacuate just 7 people with other german nationals unable to reach the jet farms. and i munition was seen abandoned in luggage racks in the carpark of the port locals abandon the weapons. is there tempted to flee the country pitches also most of those lucky enough to make it onto a plane on sunday, although they with them met with another crush of people this time on board 640 said to a packed inside this particular u. s. jet now, does the pentagon says it's preparing to accept 22000 asylum seekers? u. s embassy cobble and also been evacuated with stuff fling in a helicopter to the capitals airport. and said to comparisons being made on line to similar evacuation almost 50 years ago. during the

at least 21000 new millionaires were made in the u. s. billions and billions of dollars with the pi. oh, got a few emission makers, builders, meat packers, and let us not forget the bankers who finance the great boy who turn blood into gold and i'm profits were a secret, as they were a man's all the looking i had to i can i stand before you tonight, in my red star chiffon evening, the the face softly made up my fell gently wave, the law i own a day of the western. wow. yeah. my, my 6 radio between the united kingdom and saudi arabia in which ronald reagan wanted to sell the saudis billions and billions dollars worth of equipment. but these really lobbies stopped it and congress wouldn't approve it because they feared arming. saudi would threaten israel. so ronald reagan handed the deal is effectively to his political soulmate, margaret thatcher. un seen nothing yet. yeah. you have very tough act. the me, i when we stumbled on the saudi alms deal, the gamma moms deal, we really started to stumble along a central feature of british politic

u. s. military just to give you some numbers. mackenzie said that 823000 civilians were evacuated by the military, u. s. military and their partners in the last few weeks since the taliban gain control of cobble. he said that 6000 us citizens had been evacuated as well. and interestingly enough, he was very complimentary towards the taliban saying to taliban were helpful and useful. those were his words. over the last several days and weeks i said the taliban did were very useful in enforcing a very strong perimeter around the airport. and he said that he said that all of the threats that were, that the us military personnel faced at the airport in the recent weeks were not from the taliban. but from i saw k about ice. okay. mackenzie estimates that they're about 2000 fighters in afghanistan. and while the u. s. is completely now pulled out of the country troops, boots on the ground, if you will. he did say, of course the u. s. still has overwhelming air power, and as we've heard from the pentagon and others still has the ability, if necessary, to be in afghanistan in some sort of milita

u. s. air force plane at cobble airport reports say human remains were found in the landing gear of that transport aircraft following its flight from cobble pictures of also, most of those are lucky enough to make it onto an airplane on sunday. although there they were met with another stampede. this time on board of 640 people was said to have packed inside this particular us jet. and that size, the pentagon now says it's preparing to accept $22000.00 asylum seekers. while we discuss the ongoing situation, and i've got to start with former u. s. navy intelligence officer, steven rogers, who says he cannot help but draw parallels with what happened in vietnam. the goal was to ensure that the app in government was strong, that it was a nation where the people were free. it was a nation, ruled by a constitution and not ruled by any dictator or a terrorist organization. so the goal was never achieve. 20 years of work was put into that, where we have seen is a caster feet. how do you leave all these people behind the aft and the citizens to, to, to be met with the baby, torture and murder. t

u. s war. during that time the u. s has spent 822 billion to pay for it. also during that time 2400 u. s troops were killed along with 3800 u. s contractors and 66,000. members of the afghan military 47,000 afghan civilians were also killed. along with 51,000 members of the taliban. the question that needs to be debated and discuss now is this. what if anything was accomplished during those 20 years and a reminder to stay plugged into developments in afghanistan? you can go to our website ktvu .com, now to haiti images taken from above the earthquake damage there in haiti. give you an idea of what search teams are dealing with. as they look for victims. the official death toll is now approaching, 1300 officials say at least another 28 people are injured. fox news alex hogan tells us the white house is sending dozens of people to help. the focus in haiti now on search and rescue for anyone trapped under the rubble, with thousands still missing after a 7.2 magnitude quake led to widespread destruction throughout the country. saturday's earthquake struck just off the coast but could be felt across the

u. s. thought that they could try to pull off over the last 20 years while the u. s. is trying to engage in nation building. i mean the u. s. rem, militarily, we were entirely successful with every engagement with the taliban and insurgent force and happiness. and keep in mind that this is a political defeat, not a military one for the u. s. i was a, it was a loss of will and lack of thinking. we didn't have a, we ended up fighting a 20 year war and not a 20 your so much as a one year war 20 times over. so there's a real distinction there. obviously, the russians have a lot of experience in afghan and like the united states, it was not a pleasant part of russian history to the russians want to, will they be able to have the basing and toes you just on pakistan to be able to build the type of build up the type of infrastructure necessary for an incursion against and remember in the cold war when the russians were last there. so she started beckers and were part of the soviet union, not really any more. so the question is, the big question, the biggest question of all is to the russians really want to repeat this? is this going to be something that's

january of 2020 several weeks earlier the first thought and long before most medical experts in the u s. were aware of the coronavirus could create a global pandemic the bay area news group examined medical records. from january of 2020 from california and five other states and that research found that covid-19 was likely a factor in at least a half dozen deaths during that month. civil rights leader reverend jesse jackson and his wife are responding positively to treatment after being hospitalized with the coronavirus doctors at northwestern memorial hospital in chicago are carefully monitoring the 79 year old jackson and his wife jacqueline, who is 77, they say? that due to their ages the two were hospitalized on saturday mr jackson was fully vaccinated but his wife had not had her shots the reverend jackson has encouraged others, particularly black people to get a coronavirus shot. black people have received fewer vaccinations compared to their share of cases. there could be a number of reasons to that tied to that, perhaps a lack of trust in the government and also a lack of vaccine hubs

u. s. air force plane fell to the death and reported human remains were found in the landing gear of the us military transport aircraft following its flight from cobble farms. i mean, she was seen left in luggage racks in the car. park of the post locals were abandoning the weapons, attempting to flee. yes, local journalist should know jeff as the the about the situation on the ground. there we go. the room of the one. i just thought it says the housing public safety also, they are locked in for the government people every day said that you're looking for the journalist and, and call it was a shocking use for everyone even for me. and for the shop. i left my office on a red flag place, but i immediately denied the deputy of belie but i noticed the found out i'm the leader of all of us. well, how much money he made? and you said that the cobbler people are safe to talk about the particular of the cobbled people and down those groups of the title of natalie on fight permission to enter out of the people. and one of the telephone commanders who's giving a victory speech from inside the pres

were killed. the taliban spanish received control of the entire country. now 2 weeks before the u. s. is set to complete as true withdrawal after a very costly to decades. the limit of our embassy to location at the airport. it's why the president sent in a number of forces to make sure that as we continue to draw down our diplomatic presence, we do it in a safe and orderly fashion. we discussed the ongoing situation and i've got install with former u. s. navy intelligence officer, steven rogers, he says he cannot help but draw parallels with what happened in vietnam. the goal was to ensure that the app in government was strong, that it was a nation where the people were free. it was a nation, ruled by a constitution and not ruled by any dictator or a terrorist organization. so the goal was never achieve. 20 years of work was put into that we have seen is a caster feet. how do you leave all these people behind the talk about the afghan assistance to, to, to be met with the baby, torture and murder. this reminds me of saigon. i was in the air force during the time saigon fell. and when

u. s. also were looking at a map of afghanistan, which had provinces and districts on it. the taliban looked at a map that had the tribal divisions about, got has started on it and they managed to work those tribes. they managed to find the right power brokers so that they were able to take province off the province. and in many cases, there wasn't much of a fight. and i think the last real failing for the united states. and they did all this really without consulting many of their allies, with the diplomatic failing on my side who led the talks in doha afghan. born veteran us matt. but he seemed to take everything from the taliban on trust. they said they pull out their troops, they do that a bit. and then the taliban had to come to a negotiation with the afghan government. well there was no negotiation. the the taliban themselves have taken control enough going to stone. so i think that's gonna be some serious soul searching in the us. and i think beyond the u. s. among the other countries that are involved in afghanistan, particularly the nato nations. what is the react

u. s. allies were world bright, is live from cobble, rob, when we spoke to earlier, you said you thought it would happen that the wheels were up on the final c. 17 and now it has bringing historic close, at least for now to us his involvement. and i've got a son that's why we've had to finally the confirmation that the american military involvement in afghanistan has ended after 20 years. and the celebration in cobble are underway for the past hour or so. the whole skyline around the city here is being completely lit up with burst of gunfire. it has died off in the last few minutes or so, but we've had terrific burst. the automatic gunfire with the red traces streaming into up into the sky. hence the helmets of the body, which will be pointed out, this is celebrate to reconcile. it's all aimed up into the sky, but it has to come down somewhere. so that's why we are dressed up in helmets, but they started be room is have around midnight 30 midnight, $35.00 local time. interestingly, that's into the 31st here in afghanistan. that is, of course, the deadline for the u. s. withdraw. then we

u. s . there were rumors in the media and reports the different groups were in conflict over this agreement. but the truth is that no one broke disagreement. then the groups joined the taliban and the invaders announced their departure. then more and more groups began to join the moods at dean oh, no, joe biden appears confused in some of his statement. the withdrawal of us troops had to be carried out in a strictly organized manner. after signing the agreement, we told the us that the withdrawal should take place in a strict order to an agreed schedule. we told them that every meeting and then when they postpone the withdrawal for 4 months or longer, we told them the same. i don't know why there is a chaos and confusion intention. why the dramatic event took place a couple airport. the scenes caused pain to all afghans and also cause fear in those trying to leave the country. well, that's a wrap of this ours coverage of the unraveling situation in afghanistan. of course you've been following it very closely here on us. he getting as much inside as we can from people on the ground and analys

u. s service members were killed. along with 3800 u. s contractors, 47,000 afghan civilians were also killed along with 51,000 members of the taliban, east bay congressman eric swalwell says he and his team are ready to help the bay area's afghan community. congressman, swalwell says if you have a loved one, waiting for a special immigration, immigrant visa, his staff can help get a status update on pending applications. and that includes translators and interpreters working for the u. s government. we want to do everything we can to help people who helped us in this 20 year conflict where, of course, we defeated and killed osama bin laden took so many terrorists off the battlefield and want to make sure those who helped us are being helped. is this country suffers, the resurgence of the taliban. the office of congressman swalwell is in castro valley, and he says, appointments can be made or you can stop by on mondays between two and five p.m. or on tuesday, between nine in the morning and noon. we have added that schedule to our website

u . s. government were trying to procure ammonium nitrate back in 2013 when that ship arrived in, in lebanon. they have been since linked to the company that bought this ammonium nitrate. so you have all these connections, all these documents, and yet the investigators and the authorities are doing nothing. then you ask yourself, how did this happen? well, it's the way the port is managed and it allows for the security vacuum. the space is not in control, 11 on the safe is so weak that the different political parties they hold sway overstate institutions. so it allows for the vac security vacuums. and imagine there's not even a scanner available port. so could you just imagine, did i miss? no, no, no. really. i have so many questions for you guess. and i'm going to ask you to be quite brief in your response or your reaction to them. this is news reactive. i'm going to get this one to you, moray, for the sadness that many families fail by not having an officer who is responsible for the disaster. the president of lebanon should take that on his shoulders. otherwise there will never be justice

u. s. supplies were coming through. that's very difficult to verify for a person like me. i'm sure the us taxpayer will love to hear about that. do you believe that park is found the government of him run con is involved in what is happening in afghanistan as regards the takeover of all these cities in regions where that's all he d. b, in the past, 42 years by spam has been involved in this. and since the taliban emerge in 1994, there was very special needs are rubbing. you are the special envoy. so is that happening now? i cannot say, militarily, politically they are in, was that up i can find the national see fighting along side tyler have the been sent by bike studies, traditions or how they crossed by themselves. or because started when i the logical entity and they have ideological connections to the other organizations and bikes, whether they're supporting, it's very hard for me to verify. well they, they of course deny that. obviously we saw pictures of us or have gone with general, dost him? what is the difference really, for a person living in one of these towns a

u. s. officials were lying. that's what the washing of both that about how successful the nato campaign was enough. gannons that, you know, people think of the i s i is quite a, quite a robust security service agency. i think everybody knew that eventually the couple regina would clash the question, i think was that it collapsed so quickly. and that's why we, i mean, was your prime minister your, your prime minister, more or less is mean saying that ghani ghani is a puppet of the united states. doesn't have support around the country. i mean, they, you to infected with these policy. think tanks, these so called mainstream media tv pundits. all these disgraced, arguably generals that appear on television screen telling us iraq libya, syria who knows venezuela. it's all going to turn out right. you being infected by these ideas to rush to promote a settlement. and we hope that there would be to check someone, you know, before she solution to try to help in including in the process as well as to the protocol format

were not to be allowed on the, on the road. the airport is a mile and a half away from the u. s. embassy, but no embassy personnel were allowed to be on the street. which made of course the u. s. was entirely cut off because it would only visit places that had heliport. so everyone would take a power helicopter to the embassy. my last is that was 2018 and i believe i was the only one who got off a flight from dubai that went through customs and walked out the front door to the parking lot. because every, every other, the only westerner, all the other westerners, apparently, apparently, were all going to catch helicopters someplace. because this is, this is not been considered a safe place for, for citizens to the united states. germany had the same kind of rules. most of the foreign governments who were involved that road was considered safe and the to approach the airport 2 of these, these, these gates, as i'm sure it's been mentioned, are, are actually, you know, a quarter of a mile from the actual airport. they're surrounded by blast walls and razor wire and your 1st search v

how come for appreciate your time today we know that there were threat warnings that that came ahead of these attacks today. the u. sg americans to avoid. certain parts of the airport certain gates there so the question is how how could this have happened how were these suicide bombers allowed to get so close to the airport where those u. s service members were operating well alex where they're operating is right there on the definition of a front line. the taliban were supposed to be screening uh those coming in to make sure they didn't have, uh you know, some sort of i d attached their person or any other types of weapons. obviously you see that that screening process wasn't going very well and frankly, the taliban isn't a force that we can rely upon that much but those marines are right there at the gate. you know somebody had to be there, and that's what marines do. and they were there right at the front lines that abbey gate that whole area that ceo of humanity trying to get through was a known vulnerability but those marines were doing their their job to the best third ability but it's a dangerous job, and tha

other last supposedly shook an area around hotel web. british officials were processing our downs to fly to the u. k. so our team u. s. service members were among the dead along with $28.00 taliban and it's also known the 3 brits, including a child were killed and another warning now there are more potentially upsetting images from cobble where you can see covered. forty's of victims have been laid out in the street with grieving families, identifying and collecting, know, and the ones we spoke to those affected. yes, i'm sorry, so the belinda belinda dixon. i was i was in the sunday waiting for money. no money people on british people that doesn't work properly. and some last one looks like 20 people other than the tool. again, plus one people like 60 people that people have no like have no legs. he's more i guys give it a couple for us and told us how the cities fairing of the tragic events. the situation so far this morning is somewhat comma than it was yesterday, but we kept hearing as many as half a dozen explosion, and this is off of the to terrorist form blocks at the airport. some of them are explained by the
