The metro calls it the flight from hell, as people at Kabul Airport tried desperately to escape the Taliban In Afghanistan today. The guardian adds that seven people died in the chaos some clung to the outside of the plane as it took off, and others were crushed in the crowd. The Financial Times leads with a similar image of the runway today, adding that many afghans dread the return of a hardline islamist regime. The i writes No Way Out above a dramatic picture of people trying to climb over a Border Wall to escape afghanistan on the first day of taliban rule. The telegraph leads with the speech Joe Biden delivered from the white House Tonight he told the world he stands squarely by his decision to withdraw american troops from afghanistan. The sun calls the us president joke biden, writing that he faces a global backlash over his handling of the crisis in afghanistan. 0k, we will have a quick look at some of these stories now. I want to start with you, jenny, because this image, this Air Force Plane is on pretty much all the papers, and it dominates the telegraph there. Will this be a defining image for the biden presidency, do you think . I think it is already, its certainly the defining image of our withdrawal from afghanistan until there is a black Taliban Flag on top of the us embassy. Its almost a cliche now to make comparisons with saigon but the imagery of this is very much the same, and the detail also of the number of people who died trying to get him not on that c16 and the dozens of people cleaned to the outside and falling from the sky shows how desperate people are. And those people who are in the Air Force in kabul have nowhere to go. It is surrounded by the taliban, they cannot get home if they wanted to, and no planes are leaving now. So they are just stuck there in purgatory. So they are ust stuck there in purgatory. So they are ust stuck there in uraato. ~. , so they are ust stuck there in uraato. ~. , purgatory.

It was interesting with that speech which it was interesting with that speech which is it was interesting with that speech which is on it was interesting with that speech which is on the front of the telegraph, look, if youre in afghanistan and still allowed to watch afghanistan and still allowed to Watch Television or listen to a radio, Watch Television or listen to a radio, itll Watch Television or listen to a radio, itll be chilling because he had washed his hands of them, and it was almost had washed his hands of them, and it was almost a casual cruelty to his words. Was almost a casual cruelty to his words, Then he hopped back on a helicopter words, Then he hopped back on a helicopter back to camp david. I think helicopter back to camp david. I think thatll define him, as well, the words think thatll define him, as well, the words that he spoke. This is a man who, the words that he spoke. This is a man who, when on his inauguration, he said man who, when on his inauguration, he said he man who, when on his inauguration, he said he would try to Heal The World he said he would try to Heal The World. Well, afghanistan will be bloodshed from now on, we think. He bloodshed from now on, we think. Hg. Was bloodshed from now on, we think. Was also bloodshed from now on, we think. He was also speaking to the afghan people, wasnt he . He was being to The American people. He people, wasnt he . He was being to The American people. People, wasnt he . He was being to The American people. He was speaking to The American The American people. He was speaking to The American people The American people. He was speaking to The American people and to The American people and consistently showing that The American people want Americas Involvement in afghanistan to end. When it comes to people in washington, he did something that nobody has done in American Politics in a long time, which was to unify both sides in condemnation of both of him. But when it comes to ordinary americans, he was appealing to them. Even though i do believe there are many benefits for America Staying in afghanistan just as they stayed in korea and many other countries for many, many decades. There always has been this disconnect in america between what the country does a broad in its foreign policy, and the prosperity at home. In that connection between the two has never ever, and ive been reporting from the us for far too many years, but that connection between the two, the Prosperity Americans have enjoyed since The End of the second World War and the way their country carries on a broad, away from its borders that connection is just not there for most americans. And as a result, they cannot see what afghanistan was all about it, or at least is difficult for them to. I all about it, or at least is difficult for them to. I agree with ou, difficult for them to. I agree with you. Theres difficult for them to. I agree with you. Theres a difficult for them to. I agree with you, theres a significant difficult for them to. I agree with j you, theres a significant number difficult for them to. I agree with i you, theres a significant number of americans who dont have a passport and dont really look at foreign affairs, they look at the affairs in their own domestic state and may be nationally, but they dont look at international politics or think about the implications for them of the fact that the taliban have shown that it doesnt matter what the international community thinks of them any more, theyll do as they please. And that means the country will be a magnet for international terrorists who know theyll be able to get away with anything there, because if the taliban can march in and take over kabul so quickly, Then the international community will not be able to stop the country from becoming a hotbed of international terrorism. But becoming a hotbed of international terrorism. � m. Becoming a hotbed of international terrorism. � a. ,. , terrorism. But michael, at The End ofthe terrorism. But michael, at The End of the day.

I think as you say to those people who are actually think as you say to those people who are actually watching the speech, many are actually watching the speech, many millions of americans will not have been many millions of americans will not have been following it or be interested. Thats the stark reality of it. Interested. Thats the stark reality of it. But interested. Thats the stark reality of it, but those who did, many will agree of it, but those who did, many will agree. Many will have had a Family Members agree. Many will have had a Family Members who may have died in the last 20 members who may have died in the last 20 years, as well as of the war in iraq. Last 20 years, as well as of the war in iraq. As last 20 years, as well as of the war in iraq, as well. We saw the same thing in iraq, as well. We saw the same thing in in iraq, as well. We saw the same thing in vietnam where we were sending thing in vietnam where we were sending children off to a strange land for sending children off to a strange land for an ultimately futile attempt at bringing peace there, Stopping Attempt at bringing peace there, stopping communism spreading across the world stopping communism spreading across the world. They say the same in afghanistan, as well. For selfish reasons. Afghanistan, as well. For selfish reasons, they stopped alqaeda from coming reasons, they stopped alqaeda from coming to reasons, they stopped alqaeda from coming to america, theyve stopped that now coming to america, theyve stopped that now and lets get on with it. President that now and lets get on with it. President biden says if there is problems with terrorism, we will Then problems with terrorism, we will Then go problems with terrorism, we will Then go back into afghanistan on a case by Case Basis like we do across the World Case by Case Basis like we do across the world with other threats, with isis the world with other threats, with isis and the world with other threats, with isis and whats happening in africa, as welt isis and whats happening in africa, as welt so isis and whats happening in africa, as well.

Im not sure thats the best headline on this occasion, to be honest. There is the suggestion that the uk will take in quite a few afghan refugees fleeing the country over and beyond those who have worked with the british military.

They risk of their lives on those promises, there are women who have got an education who wanted to be doctors and lawyers, who will now be subject to laws from the seventh century. We now have no option but to take those people in. I reported on afghan migrants trying to enter the eu illegally in 2001, and the incredible dangers they are ready to face in order to have Safety And Security in europe. If we dont take them in illegally, therell be an enormous number of them trying to arrive illegally which will have implications for politics, for far right governments all over europe getting support that we couldnt have imagined before Then because therell be a huge influx illegal migrants.

Thats true certainly on blamed everyone else. Thats true certainly on the blamed everyone else. Thats true certainly on the manner blamed everyone else. Thats true certainly on the manner of certainly on the manner of that withdrawal, but it must be said he has not been a liberal when it comes to foreign forces abroad.

He seems to be going along with it. And its the seems to be going along with it. And its the idea seems to be going along with it. And its the idea that america isnt the worlds its the idea that america isnt the Worlds Police any more, that might worry Worlds Police any more, that might worry some Worlds Police any more, that might worry some people across the world. Going worry some people across the world. Going back worry some people across the world. Going back to the people in afghanistan who, if they did get a Chance Afghanistan who, if they did get a chance to afghanistan who, if they did get a chance to see that, they are on their chance to see that, they are on their own chance to see that, they are on their own now and not much they can do for their own now and not much they can do for them their own now and not much they can do for them do for them. Jenny you made the oint do for them. Jenny you made the point earlier do for them. Jenny you made the point earlier about do for them. Jenny you made the point earlier about promises i do for them. Jenny you made the L Point earlier about promises being made and thats the fundamental problem here, pointing to michaels references to a seeming callousness on the part ofJoe Biden. George w. Bush couldve targeted Osama Bin Laden and taking out the taliban, and left. And indeed, that kind of deal was on the table once the taliban had been routed from kabul into december since 2001. He didnt do that, he made it clear he would rebuild the nation and the military. That is not a 20 year plan, that is a multi generational plan, that is 20 40 a multi generational plan, that is 20 a0 years. Thats why people are depressed and disappointed, and feel that a promise has been broken. I would completely agree with that, it was a plan which people thought was an action, which is why started building their lives according to it. Ifound it quite building their lives according to it. I found it quite chilling when building their lives according to it. Ifound it quite chilling when i heard Biden State On Saturday that heard Biden State On Saturday that he said America Cannot forever be involved in the Civil War some of other countries. Thats not why america was there, it was there to protect its own interests after 9 11, it decided it would get involved in nation building. This is the first big test of Bidens Leadership and judgment. And wherever you come from on the political spectrum, wherever you come from on the politicalspectrum, he wherever you come from on the political spectrum, he has failed very badly on both. He is setting up strawmen for himself to fight, and hes also saying that he didnt expect afghanistan to fall so quickly to the taliban. He has badly misjudged her this and done so much damage to afghanistan and to his own presidency. Damage to afghanistan and to his own residen. , , ~ , presidency.
