the fact that the taliban _ who rules afghanistan? the fact that the taliban ruled _ that the taliban ruled afghanistan will not change with or without sanctions but the taliban's behaviour can change without sanctions they would have no contributing force of pressure. the telephone bill with an iron hand and the only hope that the people of afghanistan, especially the women and girls who are suffering from their oppression, as the international community can pressure the taliban into changing their behaviour. that is where sanctions are imposed. now, other sanctions making the ordinary people of afghanistan suffer? definitely. it always happens. there are the international community has to make sure the sanctions are designed in a way which the taliban suffer more than the ordinary people of afghanistan. the taliban will be hoping some countries may be more inclined to help them than others. pakistan has previously engaged with the taliban. you are the former ambassador to pakistan. what could pakistan be doing to engage with the tal

without consent of tribal elders and scholars from all over afghanistan. they will not get that legitimacyjust by corralling about 3000 people and making them say what they manage to get them to say. because the taliban took power by force, and the rest of the world recognises that reality. why are these clerical leaders so important for the taliban for their future control of the country? the taliban were always a movement that was very narrowly based, it represents only the pashtun part of afghanistan. and only the hardline believers in a hardline ideology. they have been very closely associated with a belief system that is identified internationally with al-qaeda and other extremist groups. so they now need to project to the rest of the world that they have the support of people other than members of their hardcore organisation and movement, and that is why they assembled a wider gathering. as you mentioned, the taliban are looking for international recognition, but at the same time, they are failing to move forwards on issues, especially issues like hu

fleeing afghanistan: free to be me. when the taliban regained control of afghanistan, lgbtq+ afghans knew their lives were in grave danger. a small group were evacuated in a top—secret mission & are re—building their lives in the uk. this is their story: i've concluded that it's time to end america's longest war. it's time for american troops to come home. as us, uk and nato forces leave afghanistan, the taliban tightens its grip and a humanitarian crisis unfolds. everybody was desperately trying to find anyway to get out of afghanistan because it was the only chance to stay alive. so fighting, stressful. there was lots of broken cars all over the airport and there was nothing, just a gate, to go into the plane. people were running _ towards the aircraft, the airport. there were soldiers| keeping people out. the taliban, who were beating up people with sticks, - with wires, whatever they had, and they were shooting - on the ground and in the air. like the end of the world in the hollywood movies. i can't describe wh

never nervous in afghanistan. what happened to me is just another chapter, because if we don't help afghanistan, it's going to get worse. we're going to have more refugees coming to europe. so the only thing you can do is engage with them in a positive manner. and i would like to be part of that. peterjuvenal — free after six months in a taliban prison. we still don't know the details of the negotiations to get him and the other british prisoners released. but it does look as though the relationship between britain and the taliban, which you might expect would be violently hostile, is now moderately friendly. both sides had to hold their noses to some extent, but the taliban are now the effective government in afghanistan and the only country they can look to for support, apart from britain and the other western powers, is china. china, which locks up a million muslims and uyghurs and has a record of bailing out poor countries only to effectively take them over. the taliban don't want to depend on the chinese. t

>> we've been based in afghanistan for several decades now. over the past and recent months, we are continuing our education programs across the country. our established presence in afghanistan makes us acutely aware of some of the barriers preventing girls from coming to education. some of the work we are doing is community-based programming, to enhance literacy skills, but also looking at how we can get girls qualification to become teachers, to help try to mitigate some of the barriers preventing girls going to school. for the sake of girls' survival and for the future of the country, we are advocating and calling on the authorities to allow for the immediate access to education for girls. laura: afghanistan is far from being the only place in the world where young people are imperiled. you have just returned from somalia, where there is a looming threat of famine. what did you see when you were there? >> the sights i witnessed whilst i was in somalia were far worse than i expected. starvation and famine are escalating faster than many of u

india is afghanistan's traditional and historical friend but india did abandon afghanistan. there's a lot of anger and disappointment among many who are extremely close with india, especially the former officials, members of the former security forces. visas were not issued. amy: we have 10 seconds. i didn't mean to interrupt you. bilal: i think in that sense, the theme -- they are seen abandoning afghanistan but it is good that india is back in afghanistan and continues to help the people whether it is with medicine or wheat. amy: we are going to do part two of this discussion on democracynow.org. also the latest news out of xx announcer: this program was made possible in part by caesars entertainment, tom campion, utopia foundation, the cloobeck family, masimo foundation, mgm resorts, and nv energy.

let's be realistic about what's happening now in afghanistan, food insecurity in afghanistan, they says, come from the integrated food security phase classification report from may of this year. 19000000 people acute food insecurity. 20000 people in catastrophe. oh goodness. 6000000 people in emergency. 13000000 people in crises. so many levels of multiple crises. is the taliban set up to cope with this watch mark? can they? because they say, if we just have the money, actually let play that play, give us the money we can handle it. let me, let me just play the taliban. this is a little template as a give us the money and we can handle it. as i've listened to them and the world to give the most gruesome fraud, which is the right to learn from them, that is through lifting sanctions, or on freezing or messrs. and also giving us a sense of destroying life, 40 years a, you know what the cigar says that when the u. s. left of honest on $18000000000.00 worth of military equipments were left inside of funds. and from what we hear that a lot of this is being actually sold out in pakistan and o

meaning it's the single largest humanitarian, a donor in afghanistan in the world. but there's just one problem. that's the fact that all these millions of dollars are really drops in the pond. when you think about the fact that washington is frozen over $7000000000.00 of reserves that the afghanistan central bank has had on us soil. so not money, of course. also going to be staying in the u. s. for use that. what's been the taliban reaction to the 8 pledges that it's received so far? well, naturally it said that it's been a bit hypocritical, and we've also heard from the taliban that they actually claim that washington has cut off its humanitarian aid. in total, let's take a listen to what they said. the more of the after the transition of the afghan regime last year. unfortunately, the west stopped all humanitarian aid. they not only politicized humanitarian aid, but also forcibly froze. $9000000000.00 us dollars for the afghan people. on the one hand, they claim to defend human rights. but at the same time, they are violating human rights when we call on the u. s

, iraq, afghanistan, iraq, and that is why i'm not serving. the public -- i have worked in a lot of civil service jobs since then and i cannot help but wonder, and i would like your input, sometimes dealing with someone who does not know or understand and you are saying, no, we've got to do it and it has to be done, and the way the military teaches you to communicate, this has to happen, and they say well, ok, maybe, but no, and that becomes a problem in and of itself. it is our instruction misdirected toward the veteran? this is your problem? or is it the public who needs the instruction. i will get off now. thank you, greta, and i will watch online. guest: i really appreciate this question. what i think he is getting at is the military civilians and their disconnect. with her guard to ptsd in particular, one of the great problems i see is there has never been a time at which the military community and civilian community have been more disconnected. a lot of it has to do with the fact this is the longest period in american history without som

i commanded these troops in afghanistan, in the balkans, in libya. my security detail in the balkans was often provided by the swedish military. believe me, i have never felt safer in my life and surrounded by a bunch of 6'4" inch vikings. they look like chris hemsworth. they are highly capable on the surface with their troops and then dig deeper these are two nations that are techno democracies. adept at cyber. high-level abilities to reduce high-end military. one example is sweden's griffith fighters. the equivalent in every sense of the u.s. f-18. finns have one of the most professional ground forces. they have more artillery pieces than any other nation in western europe. again, turnkey operation. let's close on this point. because some say we are adding 600 miles, 700 miles of border we have to defend. i look at it the other way around. this is a border that vladimir putin has got to put troops against. if he's going to be sincere about facing nato. he will have to move troops all along this 600-mile border. guess what? those are troops not avai

both of them are created by the united states in afghanistan in 2001 and the attack on saddam hussein in 2003 after which of course those wars evolved into an international war. i do want to say that if war like behavior has declined in other words you aren't quite ready for that there are still interventions and countries are doing things which are warlike but they are doing wars and entering into wars with each other. their economic sanctions which can have it to look serious effect but overall a large number of border conflicts maybe 50 to 70 in which one country ties tries to seize territory from another but they have only had areas which were unpopulated or i'm curious in. afterwards in other words they are trying to keep them from becoming wars. there was one between india and china a year ago. they shoot bows across bows and they engaged in espionage and stealing secrets. that's been going on forever and it continues. there has been use of cyber to spread misinformation and hardly a new phenomenon. and there have been covid regime changes. those deftly continue but i don't thin

to unfreeze afghanistan's assets amid a severe economic crisis. what next to for nato? as it's some, it wraps up with the block branding china, a strategic priority for the 1st time, and russia being labeled a significant threat. and we put the blocks evolving strategy for discussion. what is happening is actually hybrid walk conducted by nato against russia. ukraine is nothing less than an extension of nato's military power. the idea here was to contain russia, and yes, my goal was to go for the big price. the chief china and lurching from one set back to another. the pentagon is scrambling to phil. it's worse recruitment, drive and decades, while the latest u. s. hyper sonic missile tests failed with broadcasting live direct our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. first. let's begin with the latest developments in the war and ukraine where russian and lucas forces are advancing on campus positions in the republic. city of lucy, chance forces loyal to care, have been driven out by the cities, oil, finery

okay, so we've got a situation in afghanistan, humanitarian situation, that is really worsening. has there been any promise from the us about how it could help the ask people sort of less than a year, essentially off to the band and them? sure, we've heard a lot of promises from the united states from washington for example, a devastating earthquake took place in afghanistan just a couple of weeks ago. and washington pledged $55000000.00 to help in the humanitarian efforts there. and that brings their total in the last year of humanitarian aid, up to $774000000.00. so now the united states is saying it's the biggest humanitarian, a donor and afghan, a stand in the world. but there's just one problem here. all of these millions of dollars are really drops in the pond when you consider the fact that the united states has frozen over 7000000000 dollars in foreign reserves owned by the f dana stand central bank. and it's all because the white house is afraid, but money is going to get into the hands of the taliban as part of our ongoing work to address the humanitarian and economic c

priority was given to afghanistan,, the balkans. china was not mentioned. the most notable departure between where we are now and were in 2010 was the document called for a strategic partnership between nato and russia. february 24 changed all that. russia's invasion of ukraine shocked our consciousness but served as a wake-up call. give us your topline assessment of how the alliance is dealing with the threat and substantial changes agreed to at the nato summit with respect to military posture bolstering the east. adm. stavridis: let's start with thinking of nato as a computer program. nato 1.0 was cold war nato. the u.s. and nato against the soviet union and warsaw pact. we won that contest. nato 2.0 i think was the time where i was supreme allied commander it was driven by the events of 9/11. it was a time in which nato was in afghanistan, the balkans, libya, counter piracy. it was an operationally expansive nato. one in which nato did not face a significant peer competitor. that was nato 2.0. the previous strategic concept from 2010. in that period we l

you've seen people take to the streets in afghanistan. what else can other people be saying or doing right now that you think would help the taliban, to pressure them to reopen those schools and let the girls back in the classroom? >> the international countries have to stop pleasing the taliban and thinking they will react normally. that's not how they do. it's up to the international community to do the same. the taliban are traveling freely. stop them from traveling freely. if they are not letting girls get educated, why is that not being stopped? all those things need to be the decision and the international community needs to act instead of not making sure they are doing their part. amna: if you could say one thing to girls out there who are worried they will never be allowed back in school, what would you say? >> it is our country and we have the right to exist, to get educated. amna: the executive director of the education group learn afghanistan. thank you for your time. ♪ judy: despite a robust job market in the u.s. rit now, t

if we didn't have a military, we could have gone into afghanistan. if we didn't have a military, we couldn't have gone into iraq. we probably would've been a lot better off. we have basically massively disrupted those countries, created a huge amount of death and destruction and refugees. and basically, inflicted massive disasters on the middle east. the middle east is unstable and problematic anyway. but the united states has, if anything, made it even worse. >> let me ask one last question as we wrap up because we're basically out of time. i love this question. john asks, i have been a supporter of cato for decades. -- what can an individual do to help and this horrible cycle of war, besides supporting -- john, what do you recommend for the individual? >> keep supporting cato institute, i got. there is a growing force within washington, the defense priorities and the quincy institute for example, which are basically on this wavelength. in many respects, it's a good time to strike because people are so exhausted from these endless wars in the middle

based assets belonging to afghanistan, central bank to be used to benefit the afghan people. the executive order is designed to provide a path for the funds to reach the people of afghanistan while keeping them out of the hands of the taliban and malicious actors. well, that's what the us had to say. what's the telephone? the reaction been to these a pledges so far? well, naturally they see it as quite hypocritical. and despite all of what washington's been saying, all this promise to aid the, the taliban is actually saying that washington has completely cut off its humanitarian aid to the country. let's take a listen to what they said. bothers be to the market after the transition of the afghan regime last year. unfortunately, the west stopped all humanitarian aid. they not only politicized humanitarian aid, but also forcibly froze $9000000000.00 us dollars for the afghan people. on the one hand, they claim to defend human rights, but at the same time, they are violating human rights. when we call on the u. s. and western society, not to politicize humanitarian 8, but to unf

s. public has significantly decreased after last year's debacle in afghanistan. u. s. public trust in the american military went from 70 percent in february, all the way down to 45 percent in december. and the policy of the u. s. military are also bit off putting to many americans. this is the story of a soldier who operates donations patriot missile defense systems. it begins in california is a little girl raised by 2 moms. for some reason, this attempt to woke up by the u. s. military is not causing an inflow, fresh, blind, and prism that is not particularly surprising at all, but it keeps going. the u. s. navy is now raising awareness about pronouns or l g b t bride. using the right pronouns is really simple way to affirm someone's identity. it is a signal of acceptance and respect. if it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do we go about creating a safe space for everybody? that's a good question. a really good way to do that is to use inclusive language. now the new woke optics might be one thing, but there are real problems that the u. s. military has fa

and now doing this conflict with the 3 countries sunday, se shine and that's go to afghanistan. now whether you as president is revoking the country, special status. as a major non nato ally, drew biden's announcement came around the year about it's off to the humiliating american pull out left off chemist on in tatters and without any funds to rebuild. i discussed the situation earlier with office correspondent don't quarter. the taliban has been in power for almost a year now and only now is washington revoking afghanistan status as a major non nato allies to the united states. basically, this is washington admitting utter defeat in the u. s is longest war in its history . i mean, american forces fought for 20 years. washington spent 2 trillion dollars just to prop up and ineffective and corrupt government in kabul. and in the end, the taliban around to stay. and on top of that, it's also got tons of state of the art american weapon read that was left behind during an embarrassing and chaotic american military withdrawl of in august of last year. okay, so we've got a situation

we've seen people take to the streets in afghanistan. what else can other people be saying or doing right now that you think would help the taliban to pressure them to reopen the schools an let girls back into the classroom? >> i think for starters, the international diplomats have to stop pleasing the taliban instead of going to afghanistan and taking pictures with them and pleasing them and inviting them to all of these big conferences and thinking that they will yet normally. that's not what they do. afghan victim done anything in their power to make sure they access their rights. it's up to the international community do the same thing if they're traveling freely stop them from traveling freely. if the taliban are not letting girls get educated, why are their familieslying openly and happily in two different countries and they go to school in why is that happening? why is that the that not being stopped? so all of those things need to be a decision and the international community needs to act instead of saying stuff on twitter and ma

i firmly believe that the public are ready to hear that truth. president biden says he's graphing afghanistan status is a major, non nato ally, almost a year. all the disastrous u. s. military prolog left the country in disarray and with no cash plus we have they both gotten left behind like with a retreat, all of this flu from the united states, a huge amount of power. the charge of all fold correspondent in specs and abundance of us supplied weaponry hastily abandoned by ukrainian troops on the front line in don't bass as russian lead, who took control with the international bringing you all the latest news from across the globe, from our studio here in moscow, thanks for joining us. i'm shots even sky. now russia still wants to negotiate a p steel for ukraine, but western efforts to both the key f and it's refusal to sit down. but talks could see moscow step up its military operation. that's according to the latest warning that's just come out from president flat, may a putin soon your most lucian. today we're hearing that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. what can i say? they're
