But more seriously than that, it opens the door to a humanitarian disaster for afghans who had the door to a humanitarian disasterfor afghans who had in good faith accepted the promises of western leaders that they would not be abandoned. The blame, of course, lies across the political spectrum in the united states.

Several reasons but Resident Biden had long committed himself to the view that it was a war that could not be one and he also had an interest and covering his tracks with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party because he had been such an ardent supporter of the theatre of operation in iraq. I suspect he seriously miscalculated about the risks of an unravelling of the sort we have witnessed although we listen to some of the specialist who really knew about afghanistan, he would have realised the danger was much greater.

There is already evidence of the taliban going house to House Hunting for you right journalists, people of that sort, and that bodes very ill for any notion that they are going to be different at all from what they were in the late 19905. It is likely that would be even worse since there will be even worse since there will be a high level of Revenge Mentality at play.

Do stay with us, i will see you in just a moment. Hello there. Cloud features quite prominently in our forecast for this week. And with the grey skies come some relatively cool conditions for the time of year. Northwesterly winds bringing all that cloud and some rather cool air, particularly at the start of the week, but it will often, if not always, be dry. Just a bit of light and patchy rain here and there. This is the earlier satellite picture. You can see various areas of cloud. Weve got low pressure up to the northeast, weak frontal systems which have been bringing cloud and some showery rain. Theres quite a lot of low cloud waiting out to the west. And this is the set up to start the week, with High Pressure to the west, low pressure to the east, and that is whats driving this northwesterly wind. Quite a brisk wind first thing, especially for North Sea coasts. As we go through monday, we will see some sunshine developing, the best of that across northern and eastern scotland, the eastern side of england, whereas further west, we will keep more in the way of cloud, perhaps some spots of light Rain And Drizzle at times, and some slightly heavier rain approaching Northwest Scotland and Northern Ireland later in the day. Those winds only slowly easing. It stays quite breezy for all of us through the day and temperatures a bit below par, generally speaking 17,18,19, maybe heading 20 degrees in parts of southern and eastern england. And then as we head through monday night, we will see this area of wet weather pushing its way southeastwards. The rain mostly quite light and patchy, but i think there will be the odd heavy burst. But with that, were going to feed in an awful lot of low cloud, Mist And Murk, and that sets the scene for the middle part of the week. We still have this northwesterly wind, with High Pressure and low pressure trapping us between the two, essentially, but that northwesterly wind picking up an awful lot of moisture, an awful lot of cloud and depositing it on top of the uk. So largely cloudy conditions on tuesday, a little bit of patchy Rain And Drizzle here and there. Equally, that Cloud Breaking to give some sunny spells, especially to the south and the southeast of high ground. Temperatures, at best, 18, 19, 20 degrees still a little disappointing. And then into wednesday, more of the same, really, more Mist And Murk and cloud, the Odd Spot of drizzle. Best of any brightness to the East And Southeast of any hills and mountains. And temperatures, well, maybe just creeping up a touch, 21 degrees there in london, 17 in aberdeen. And then as we look towards the end of the week, a quiet sort of day on thursday. By friday, well, there is the chance that we will see some Rain Pushing in from the west.
