United are now lower school. Be open. Are in the Champions League Game against switch champions. Ah, the secretary of State Anthony blinking is facing a 2nd day of questioning over the chaotic withdraw from afghanistan. The senate foreign Relations Committee grilled him, of a hasty evacuations from cobble, and the collapse of the african government. He told senators, why the white house, he told the sent sent to the white house. The aerial tentative withdrawal was 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, assess his commitment. Attacks on our forces and those of our lives would have resumed. And the taliban se nationwide assault on afghanistans major cities would have commenced. That would require 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. I was there as was on jordan, has been listening to proceedings on Capitol Hill and the blank him coming in for a fair amount of criticism by members of the committee. He wasnt the only one the secretary of defense to thats right. Lloyd austin, the defense secretary, was criticized starting by the Committee Chairman and bob menendez, because the Secretary Defense turned down the Committees Invitation to testify along Antony Lincoln here on Capitol Hill. So it was up to blinking to answer questions. Not just about what diplomat with the State Department did in the last 2 weeks or so of the Forest Evacuation and the closure of the u. S. Embassy and cobble, but also getting questions that senators knew he could not answer about military decisions. For example, leaving military bases including bog from Air Base before the evacuation of civilians from afghanistan. The question about the equipment that the u. S. Had purchased on the afghan national security Forces Behalf and then it trained them to use all of that equipment is now in the hands of the tall a bond, which is anthony blink. And says, is the de facto Government And Cobble there are questions about whether or not the u. S. Has inadvertently aided a terrorist group, and those were questions that the senators themselves knew that blinking was not qualified or allowed to answer. Now there is checked here 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 the complete debacle of santa set wrong johnson making the points that to enter the Bank And Trust somebody was very positive. But as the the Committee Chairman said, the withdrawal was fatally flawed. The has to be accountability after the test, what he does a we any nearer to finding out where the buck stops. Well, ultimately, at one point blank and was asked whether anyone could overrule the president joe biden, or whether anyone besides the president had the final say on how the evacuation of americans and the military and afghans who worked with the u. S. Military and ultimately blank. And said that is ultimately decisions made by the president. Now he did say that he has the authority to carry out many decisions, but ultimately he has to respond to his boss the us president. And so this is really a whole of government that is coming under scrutiny, intense scrutiny for how would handle the end of the us more and afghan, a stand as well as what the us is going to do under joe biden. To make certain that the tall a bon keeps its promises does not become a haven once more for terror, with group such as Al Qaeda or isis, as well as what the us can do to make certain that the taller bond is respecting internationally recognized human Rights Australia probably correspond wasnt jordan reporting live that from Capitol Hill was many thanks. Indeed. Well talk about says that its committed to getting all Emergency Aid promised by donors to africans who needed. The united nations drummed up more than a 1000000000. 00 in pledges on monday. It was the 1st high Level Conference and ive kind of stone. Since the telephone seized power groups, takeover has compounded fears of economic lapse and famine. We assure the international community that we are pleased to hear about the pledge committed to afghanistan. At the same time we promise on our part, but all the Relief Fate which those that deserve it. Its our responsibility to hand out the really fade to all afghans all across the country. Well, heres what we know about the money thats been pledged to help africa, ernest on the u. S. A said that its providing nearly 64000000. 00 in new humanitarian assistance from said that it will contribute 118000000. 00 to the un flash appeal. Norway has pledged some extra 11 or the half 1000000, while aging has promised 31000000. 00 worth of Food And Health supplies. Meanwhile, the European Unions foreign Policy Chief says that its in the use best interest to engage with the pell, about to have any change of influencing events that 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. To other news, hating is prosecutor, has asked a judge to charge the prime minister with the assassination of president jovan our voice in july or audio. Audrey is said to call one of the main suspects. Twice after the killing took place. The prosecutor requested that the prime minister be barred from leaving the country. The more lets speak with the kim. Ive seen an officer of the weekly newspaper hazy liberty, georgia now by, via skype from new York Talley with a 2nd. What do you make of this development . Well, its closing in on the cabal real and really has a lot to answer for. For the 2 calls he made to Joseph Felix about yo who was apparently the man who gave the order for the columbia and mercenaries who had been hired for the hit to kill President Job. Now hes in his president ial apartment. So a lot of people have come to the conclusion that in china and re, was part of it. When the Prosecutor Benford Club asked him to come speak to him about the calls are ellen read sort of back candidates saying it was diversionary tactics. So now bedford club is up the game and i think i realize is already in a difficult political situation. His legitimacy is very questionable. And this is just adding to it. Was it just, does this mean that we will perhaps one day see the prime minister be in course charged with a Beast Involvement in this plot . Well, if they are radically, hes not able to be charged because of immunity, etc. But everything is really uncharted water, right . Now in haiti, his legitimacy is questionable, he really was appointed by the core group. That is the group of ambassadors around the u. S. Embassy, which is more or less the Shadow Power in haiti these days. And so his, his office is very much up for grabs. In a lot of the opposition coalitions, who have been sort of debating how to move forward when to hold elections, how to get out of this quagmire. They some of them dont want him there. So this is definitely going to make things more difficult for him. For him, what about for the, for the country and the people you talk about the, the, the quote meyer, is this going to lead to, to more political violence . Do you think . Yes. Well, definitely he is in the throes of a very fierce class struggle. You have the underclass of port prints and now about 3000000 people rising up, demanding the day, receive services, the ability to live, sanitation, schools, hospitals, etc. And the government is basically taking its resources to fight that under class, which is organized itself into upfront of organizations. And so i think that the, the struggle in haiti is going to become very fierce if not violent in the coming days. And henrys days may be number for that reason when it gets totally. Kimberly, thanks to kim, i have staff in New York but able to come all these out, including facing pressure to set a timeframe for elections. Guineas cool.

Its the 1st time theyve met sincerely last year they discussed how their forces will gain control of serious last Rebel Held Areas whos in, who intervene to support i sat in the war in 2015, also criticized foreign powers who continue to back the opposition. Glover, problem, and thats because the firms to the main problem in my view is that the foreign military forces and without the permission of the u. N. M, without your sanctioning, are present on some territories of the country which contradicts international law. And that does not give you an opportunity to use maxim efforts for the consolidation of the country and to move on the part of its restore ation as fast as you could if the whole territory of the country was controlled by the legal government. When no money taking into account the fact that international terrorism recognizes no borders and spreads like an infection around the world. I can say that our armies made a huge contribution to protect the world from this evil. Thats kind of an update from out here as Bernard Smith in moscow. Turkeys patrolling the north western border of syria with turkey. And the u. S. Is Petroleum North eastern part of the border . Thats an area controlled. Also the control of kurdish forces as well. Russia says that that presence there is affecting the settlement of this war. Its significant chunk of syria. That remains after the control of the regime Busha Side of russia. Cause along with iran is main backer. Were also hearing reports that russia this week, according to activists in it, live a started again, bombing targets from by targets in it late. Theres about 4000000 syrian living that many of the internally displaced is the last major city under rebel control. And also a russian backed Cease Fire in dara has come in to force this was negotiated by the russians and ended a syrian siege of that city and intense fighting. But as a consequence of that, some areas of data that had been on the rebel controller now back on the syrian regime control the 1st time since 2013 photos in the u. S. State of california. Deciding the face of Governor Gavin Newsome in a Recall Election Use and has been criticized for mishandling. The current of ours pandemic rising crime rates high texas the homelessness crisis. If he gets less than 50 percent of the vote, hell be replaced by whatever other candidate polls the highest hopefuls include. Conservative radio host, larry elder, and a former olympian caitlin jenna. For more of this lets bring in james taylor. Hes before the chair of the department of politics at the university of san francisco. He joins us now live from that good to have with us. Voters have plenty to be irritated about governor newson. Is he still going to be in post after this Recall Election . Yeah, i think i think this is actually one of the best, if not the best gover. Every governor in every large state, like florida, texas on New York or in covey, can nominate, for example, after the 1st wave of before the delta virus. California economy expanded a 156000000000. 00 given this and gave one of the largest rebates in california history. The issue that you cited as problems on national problems. Some of them are international problems, immigration, forestry, and fires. The issue of crime and guns have a lot to do with the reaction to the, to exploit uprising that the american citizen saw, the Law Enforcement Establishment of america mobilize, we did it expanded violence in this country. And so the Peach And Violence in every major city in every state in the country, not just california. So theres not a single issue that is being attached to gather newsome, that is not happening in other states. And gavin is actually outperform everybody. And yet hes been in pico california, which is a very democratic system, allows for accountability, but the accountability is without. In other words, no way in the california constitution. They have to be caused for a recall. And yet this is without cause. Theres no cause theres no abusive power. This is not like a teaching. This should be an impeachment level, standard recall. But in california, just need 10 percent of voters signatures from the previous turn out about a month ago. If you look to the polling, its suggested that that may well be an upset and that the governor knew some would lose today, though not quite sure. It looks as though you might just have the edge what she done to turn that polling around a great august august campaign, a little bit warm. And it is why is very popular in california began to run national as in california, which includes lauren gavin, whos now 70000000. 00 compared to about 5 or 6000000. 00 from his opponent opponents. The national republican Party State out of california, the republican national republicans were nothing to do with this. They had nothing to do with this. And so i think we got to loosen that also was flooded Radio And Tv with ad. But also again, the democratic california to bring the president by the they can bring Vice President commonly have if they can bring brock obama. They can bring bernie sanders, they can bring a bunch of a o. C, they can bring a bunch of stars and the republican cant bring one single national republican to california and a mobile line of california voters, even california republicans because of how unpopular they are in the state of california. You, you talk about this being about national issues, really not, not just california. What is, what are the implications of this Recall Vote then for politics nationally . Yeah. I think the implications are the mid term. I think again, again this has to run again next year, and this is cauffron zone is 270000000. 00. Some people. But again, as it relates to national politics, i think the republicans have made a mistake here. They mobilize a highly mobilized vote based. The democrats dominate california politics, natural politics, northern california, democrats, nancy pelosi, commonly howard Gavin Newsom Lending agree, i think if you will be brown, i can continue to many people, but california democratic california politics, but they also dominated national politics and to attack in northern california. You know, get a new, some, one of their, you know, prodigies. I think what they have done, the republican national but the ones that did this recall is, are a part of democratic mobilization that will originally pass. And now i think they actually going to be at the ready for the mid terms and for the 20 for the next national elections. I think it will giant to be brief. Really good to talk to you, sir. Manufactured a james, ill tell you that in san francisco, 3 for many, apple is Police Officers who are present when George Floyd was killed have appeared in court to hear the charges against them that are accused of aiding and abetting in violation of floyds civil rights. His murder at the hands of a white Police Officer sparked nationwide protests last year. Derek drove it was given a 22 year prison sentence. The 3 other officers have also been charged of aiding 2nd degree murder. A Man Source in the netherlands is easy, current of restrictions following a drop. It infection rates in recent weeks. Prime Minister Marquita said that most social distancing requirements will now be dropped. He also introduced the so called corona pass. A proof of vaccination will be needed to get into bars, restaurants, and other public places. Well, the 65 percent of the dutch population is fully inoculated. The u. K is private as the bars, johnson, as announced, plans to combat any increases encoded infections. This winter. One at the same time listing more restrictions in england, millions of people over the age of 50 will receive boost to injections and vaccinations will be extended to school children. Odyssey was andrew simmons reports now from london. More vaccinations, no lock downs is a message from the u. K. Prime minister. Along with the admission that this time last year, the rates of infections was much lower in one way opposition today. Hes actually more challenging. We have higher levels of daily cases, thousands more. But in many other crucial respects, the british people, all of us collectively and individually, are incomparably better placed to fight the disease. Over fiftys will get boost of vaccinations, school children between 12. 15 can now be vaccinated. The government believes this will be enough to bolster and already successful Vaccine Program that is greatly reduce the rate of people dying from covered. The number of people dead now stems of a 134000. While an image like the national memorial wall, should ensure no one forgets the scale of losses to cove it in the u. K. Across the river thames, the government is projecting a new fray. Living with ko, its the new normal im. I comes with lifting many restrictive laws and dropping plans for coded passports, for major events and nightclubs, showing full vaccination or recent negative things to huge mistake. Yes, its typical of them boys over there when you turn freedom is what we fight for my for should out while england is dropping, the passport plans scotland is imposing warm and in europe despite sometimes Fis Resistance countries such as france, Germany And Belgium are using passports to good effect, what weve seen throughout this time next is that britain, england in particular days, is an outlier the many months while other countries guess what to do the right thing, only in the end through lens and do the same thing. So they could well be devised pos, bro, success in other countries. And eventually the Take Government entities of the england as well. The government says a locked will be a last resort, but a Plan B would mean coven passports and other measures. However, theres some unease about not using face masks and other risks inside buildings. I certainly think theres some venue riskier than others, and we should, i think somebody still be requiring distancing. And i also think we should be investing in much better ventilation systems. And the fact that more cautious countries in europe have lower infection rates than the u. K. Doesnt, can, when some, the death rates wont stop climbing again.
