Hello, im adrian for again. This is al 0 live from ha, also coming up, facing pressure to set a time frame for elections. Guineas, crew leaders open talks with political parties, and religious leaders. And the show must go on us broadway looks to fill theater. A full capacity for the 1st time since the pandemic began. Ah, us secretary of state and the blinking is facing a 2nd day of questions of his ro in the withdraw from afghanistan. The senate foreign Relations Committee grilled him of a hasty evacuations from cobble, and the collapse of the africaN Government. He sold a Senate Committee that the white house faced a choice between withdrawing or continuing to fight. By january of 2021. The taliban was in its strongest military position since 911, and we have the smallest number of us forces in afghanistan since 2001. As a result, upon taking office, President Biden immediately faced the choice between ending a war or escalating. Had he not followed through on a speed Assessors Commitment attacks on our forces and those of our lives would have resumed. And the taliban nationwide assault on afghanistan, major cities would have commenced. That would have required sending substantially more us forces into afghanistan to defend ourselves. And to prevent a taliban take over, taking casualties and with it best, the prospect of restoring a stalemate and remaining stuck and began to stand under fire indefinitely. 0 was on jordan has been listening to proceeding on Capitol Hill today. A lot of criticism, not only for the secretary of straight from members of the committee, but for Defense Secretary Lloyd austin to thats right. And thats because apparently the senate foreign Relations Committee extended an invitation to Secretary Lloyd Austin to testify alongside anthony blank. And but he turned down the invitation and there was considerable criticism of that in part because a lot of the questions which senators have where senator for secretary blank and really should be directed to was secretary austin. And they all noted that as the questioning has gone on here on Capitol Hill. Certainly, there has been criticism, however, of how the by Debt Ministration overall handled is withdrawal of military forces from afghanistan. As well as how it carried out. The evacuation of americans and afghans who worked with the u. S. Military over the last 20 years. Heres just some of the criticism. This is Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron john. Secretary, if i were just to read your testimony. Not having watched any news, i would literally think this was a smashing success. But i do read the news as most americans do, and we realize this was a complete debacle. And that was a message we had time and time again. Aimed at the secretary of the State Secretary of state, the Committee Chairman said that the withdrawal was fatally flawed. That has to be accountability, ranking Member Rish said that doesnt know how was lipstick you put on if youre trying to put the best face possible on, on something that was was terrible how the ginger he was saying that but look, its a whole chrissy to, to try to get at the to play the Blame Game here. There were no good options. Thats right. And the point that Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire was making is that when the Trumpet Ministration reached the deal with the tall bond just about a year and a half ago to what actually have us forces leave afghanistan once and for all. There wasnt that same hue and cry that you are seeing here in washington right now. You didnt see people objecting to the secretary of state at the time mike on pale meeting, and doha with molo borrowed are the putative leader of the telephone that was engaged in negotiations with us at that time. Signing an agreement, shaking hands, posing for photos. Shaheen. Point is that if people are so upset about the us engaging with the taliban, which is listed as a terrorist group under the specially just needed terrorist group organization list. Then where was that criticism a year ago . And so now what you see is a secretary of state trying to defend the administrations handling of situation, which he has repeatedly said was just handed to them with nothing having been done. When they came into office on january 20th, thats certainly not going overwhelm with. With congressional republicans, either here on the Senate Side or over on the house will be saw on monday. But the defense of this pull out does continue. And some of the questions that are being raised, or frankly going to have to be done during a classified briefing, closed doors not open to the public state to find the correspond Wasnt Georgia reporting live from Capitol Hill.

The European Unions foreign Policy Chief says that its in the us best interest to engage with the telephone to have any change of influencing events have no other options but to engage with a tally, much engaging those mean recognition not but engage minch ducking, discussing and agreeing when possible, with the ministers, the con, shell, we agreed that the level of nature of these engagement will depend on the actions of the new government.
