Safe deliberate and coordinated to withdraw our forces from afghanistan as weve always said we go in together we go out together and build up one of the afghan government respects the decision of the United States on the withdrawal of its troops from afghanistan with the american Presence Hasnt benefited us so its better for them to leave. If the u. S. Troops leave the country in their civil war or if the taliban takes power 5 years enough that woman come be able to study our work. Also coming up the shady side of the what Sheree Liquor Brand thats long been a favorite of chinas communist Party Elite. After they came to power if they turn the factory into a state owned enterprise so it could provide them with. Robots i got its procreated the factory. And the owner who refused to hand out every Species Notice was executed. Once about reviewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the World Welcome we begin the day with a deadline to end the longest war in u. S. History today u. S. President Joe Biden started the official count down for all u. S. Forces to leave afghanistan the deadline September 11th 2021 the 20th anniversary of the 911 Terror Attacks in the u. S. Which were planned in afghanistan the date which triggered the u. S. And its nato allies to attack and overthrow the taliban the goal at that time was to ensure that afghanistan would never again be a Launching Pad for terror Today President biden said that goal has been achieved but a u. S. Intelligence report made public yesterday warns of troubles to come intelligence officials writes the afghan government will struggle to hold to tell about it bay if the Coalition Withdrawal Support kabul continues to face setbacks on the battlefield and the taliban is confident it can achieve military victory the report confirms that the Terror Threat from afghanistan in the near term is low but in the long Term Afghanistan could once again become a nest for terrorists will this exit will it be permanent will the u. S. And its allies be forced to return here is what president biden said earlier today we cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for the draw and expecting a different result. Im now the 4th united States President to preside over american Troop Presence in afghanistan 2 republicans 2 democrats i will not pass this responsibility on to a 5th after consulting closely with our allies and partners with our military leaders and intelligence personnel with our diplomats and our development experts with the congress and the Vice President as well as with mr ghani and many others around the world i concluded that is timed and americas longest war its time for american troops to come home will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit well do it well do it responsibly deliberately and safely and we will do it in full coordination with our allies and partners who now have more force in afghanistan than we do and the taliban should know that if they attack us as we drawdown will defend ourselves and our partners of all the tools at our disposal. We have complete coverage of americas plan to wind down all military operations in afghanistan and then exit by this coming september here at the big table with me is my colleagues and repeat its months under a 1st reported on the war from afghanistan in early 2002 and has returned numerous times since Teri Schultz joins me from Nato Headquarters in Brussels Terry is a Veteran Nato Reporter and was also in afghanistan to cover the war and from new York City is andrew one can senior analyst for afghanistan with Crisis Group andrew lived and worked in afghanistan where he was with the u. N. Assistance mission to all of you welcome what we now know when the United States plans to end its longest war in history who is cheering and who is upset and to let me start with you youre in the United States ive heard today too attitude one is that this withdrawal is long overdue the other is that this is another vietnam what is it. Thanks for having me the truth is that the situation is a bit of both. There are certainly echoes of vietnam and in particular the United Statess attempts to exit to extricate itself from the war there the Paris Talks resemble in many ways the way that the United States has tried to negotiate with the taliban in what many critics deem not much more than a Withdrawal Plan not really a Peace Plan on the other hand there are plenty of critics not just in washington but around the country who say that enough time has passed and that its very clear that the United States isnt really seeing returns on its investments. The fact is its the afghan. And their reaction which shows much more Alarm And Concern i think is the focus for today. Were going to talk about that in just a secretary let me go to you and ask you know about Nato Nato announcing today that its forces are also planning to withdrawal from afghanistan along with the americans is there united about this earlier is there a sense of mission accomplished they are at all. Well tonight we just heard from secretary general Stilton Berg flanked by u. S. Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin and they very much had had the same script think in fact they echoed president bidens words and so they definitely are portraying this as mission accomplished but theyre changing the goals that weve been hearing about in recent years and going back to the killing of Bin Laden for example and saying well that happened 10 years ago so you know were ready to go they also point out that there hasnt been a major Terror Attack launched from afghanistan in the time since and they say well that was another of our goals but theyre worth until until now there were 3 conditions placed on the taliban for u. S. And international troops to pull out and those conditions havent been met so definitely the rhetoric has been changed along with the timeline you know its a very interesting point soon for the u. S. President he spoke of the thousands of u. S. Soldiers and their families who paid the ultimate price in these past 20 years we know that there were thousands more afghans who also perished in this war to the u. S. Have an obligation to them i mean the estimated figure of civilian casualties there alone in afghanistan for the past 2 decades stands at its an estimation at least 100000 i think that gives you. The figure that really indicates that we are looking at one of the bloodiest conflicts and it still continues to be that so i would argue yes the United States its nato partners they do have an obligation towards the afghan civilian population as well and ok so now we have heard today yes troops would be withdrawn latest by September 11th what does that mean in terms of diplomacy what does this mean in financial assistance if that then decreases as well one really has to feel. For what is going to happen in afghanistan the worst Case Scenario would be full blown civil war increasing. Violence the best Case Scenario would possible be a rather bloody road towards a political settlement but that is going to take years if you ask me president we remember when this war started the talk was you know stopping the terrorists in afghanistan but the us military quickly found out that this was also about State Building helping girls who werent allowed to go to school building a civil society what is going to happen all of to all of that after September 11th 2021. If the country will be able to keep the constitution that it has now which obviously incorporates democratic Principles Nobody can really say because as of now the taliban havent really edged out what they perceive to be the future state in afghanistan what kind of constitution they would in visits they say they want a more islamic system but what exactly does that mean with girls be allowed to go to school and if yes under what conditions where women continue to be allowed to work if yes under what conditions that is really something that we dont know and how do we get then the 1st place what would a possible political settlement look like i mean obviously we have these 2 blocs the taliban and the representatives of the islamic republic as it stands now but there are divisions in itself you know we see the militias we arming itself we see infighting within the afghan political elite and that again its pointing towards more Bloodshed And Afghanistan and i mean how do you trust the Telly Bund republicans in congress theyre already criticizing this plan by the u. S. President would you take a listen to what Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell said earlier this evening. Ministrations decided to abandon u. S. Efforts in afghanistan. Which will help the broader goal is Love And Terrorism and treasure and bizarrely theyve decided to do so. Up number the 11 apparently were to help our adversaries wrong and they out of our share of the non 11 a gift wrapping the country and i got right back to. Andrew youre in the us me ask you is this true what Mitch Mcconnell is saying and does it even matter to americans who after 20 years are simply tired and fatigued with war. Well the fact is afghans themselves are doing the majority of fighting in afghanistan and they have been since the drawdown of the majority of u. S. And nato troops in 2014 and afghan officials themselves will tell you that something close to 98 percent of all combat operations are carried out by afghans and afghans alone and indeed u. S. And nato support has grown extremely limited in the past years so its not clear to me that a Troop Withdrawal actually is handing the country over either to the Taliban Or Anyone else its not that dramatic of a change what would be dramatic and will be vital to Afghanistans Future is to what degree the financial assistance and supports continues to flow from the United States and other European Donors and partners the afghan state is incredibly poor and is dependent on the donations of foreign states most of them western this is really what is going to make or break the future of the afghan government as theyve been carrying the burden of the war for a long time we know that they depend a lot on money from the European Union an injury you testified earlier this year to the European Parliaments delegation for relations with afghanistan and you told lawmakers that the taliban are the aggressors in the conflict that were seeing today and that they stand in the way of a lasting peace in afghanistan what response did you get. I didnt get much of a response from the parliamentarians that day but i suppose thats emblematic of the position that the European Union and many European States of found themselves in the the structure of the Nato Mission in afghanistan like many missions elsewhere around the world is that the United States and the Security Umbrella it provides is really essential to the continuation of the mission and so not just militarily in terms of nato troops but politically as well many European States have felt themselves playing catch up with what the United States decides and how it has tried to move forward not only in the u. S. Withdrawal but in a scramble of different u. S. Efforts to set up some sort of a Peace Process Europe still finds itself i think this week scrambling to sort out and make sense of not only how to continue its Mission And Support but as we said. To help the afghan government in its continued fight against taliban that is deportee brings me back to you terry the u. S. President mentioned today that the u. S. And its allies have to prepare for the 21st century challenges such as a rising china was bite was he speaking to nato when he said that we know nato was worried about an aggressive russia. Well i think that he was trying to justify returning some resources to the United States to turn them in another direction because they have decided i mean this is justifying his is conclusion that this war is not winnable and so the United States has spent a fortune on the war in afghanistan and it believes that there are some other challenges that it really does need to turn its attention to but i also wanted to return to the point of view of the previous Guest And Point out that that when theyre talking when nato is promising to continue funding civil society and helping the afghan Government Reform those tasks are only possible under the Security Umbrella that is provided by these troops when they pull out how are you going to protect your embassies how are you going to protect the united nations compound there are a lot of services that will be provided that are now being provided to the afghan government and the afghan people that will be severely affected by the pullout of troops even if theyre not in a military mission you know and weve heard Today Senator from several people that you may be leaving but youre going to come back so i mean look in your Crystal Ball will the americans will they at some point be forced to return to afghanistan i mean week we contrast it that. The government is collapsing that we will return to full blown civil war in the country probably with foreign spoilers there are a lot of snow players that have a keen interest in what is happening in afghanistan and so the power of vacuum that was once there could easily be sued to get by outfits not just the taliban or remnants of Al Qaeda remnants of the islamic state there could be future threats that we dont even know about yet and also i mean just keeping in mind that the very north east of afghanistan is bordering china it brings the big competitor. As perceived by the United States also into into the view much more than it might have been in the past do you see that is something that could happen the us president he implied today that the challenge could come from china can you imagine the u. S. Going back into afghanistan not necessarily defy the taliban but to contain china in the african theater probably not i think the 1st choice would maybe be the south China Sea but you cannot rule anything out because right now we just dont know what will happen to afghanistan a likely scenario if you asked me today is that we would see much more bloodshed and that puts the question to what kind of legacy are we going to leave behind in afghanistan especially for the civilian population that vouched you know for the United States many did and nato allies and European Partners do you feel like this afghanistan is another vietnam remains to be seen. Sort of what dutch that oncet for tonight because a lot will depend on like n. G. O. S pointed out on how much diplomatic and financial aid will continue to go towards afghanistan how big the leverage will be to really initiate and then keep momentum for a Peace Process which is really stored at the moment i heard from people who live in the United States saying we havent learned the lessons from vietnam is the withdrawal from afghanistan is the proof of their. I think the withdraw from afghanistan though it does tie into lessons learned from vietnam it also is drawing from lessons from the last 20 years itself as sundra just noted that there is a question of legacy here the United States has been deployed in afghanistan longer than anywhere else including its war in vietnam and what we have here seems to be an admission by the biden administration that the legacy of u. S. Involvement was itself already perhaps not for the better what we heard in Bidens Speech and the remarks of other senior officials is is less about giving up any hope of being able to provide more for the afghans in the future or to lead to better results either on the battlefield or the Peace Table and it sounded more like an of knowledge meant that that hadnt been accomplished thus far and the question was baghdad if not after 20 years then how much longer. Yeah thats the question excellent analysis from all of you Sandra Peterson here at the big table with me Teri Schultz in brussels and Andrew Watkins in New York to all of you thank you. Well its now just 100. 00 days until the summer olympic games in tokyo which were postponed from last year due to the pandemic Whos Nation Japan has held a ceremony to mark the countdown with organizers unveiling the olympic rings at the top of mount. West of tokyo the international olympic committee says the games will go ahead despite concerns about the cone of virus and says it has taken measures such as banning international spectators to prevent any surge in infections organizers are also keen to proceed despite calls to postpone the global of it yet again. At the swimming and Diving Venue the high tech starting blocks for the tokyo games and the starting gun stand idle as though they were paused after the on your marks set a bit of a starters commands but 100 days out as the socalled test events continued to iron out possible wrinkles and Event Organization it appears the olympics are back on line. That. Pandemic precaution will be a priority and only domestic fans will be permitted to attend now but there will be competition. You know nothing he killed each and every month and theyre having discussions now so personally as much as possible i want the athletes to really feel that were prepared to host these olympic games in japan when you look at this. All these discussions here have demonstrated that we are putting Safety 1st not every japanese is happy the olympics are scheduled to go ahead in fact pollsters say 70 to 80 percent believe its a bad idea to hold the games with a pandemic still raging in the country. Even event volunteers at this online Training Session have concerns. And could last yet again what im worried about is what will happen with the new variants. And how will they spread. That the japanese have invested more than 15000000000. 00 to host the tokyo 2020 olympic and paralympic games as they will still officially be called. But 100. 00 days from the Opening Ceremony when excitement is normally reaching Fever Pitch Cold at 19 and its variants have washed much of that excitement away. It is the liquor of chinese elite and powerful mal tie a famous brand of chinese distilled spirits it is the preferred drink for high powered communist party officials and features regularly in private gatherings now that closeness to the Party Elite gives the company advantages when it comes to expanding its business interests mightiest building or follows a chinese journalist whos investigating mail ties alleged violations of the wall. Normally expose this crime and corruption cases now the investigative journalist is on his way to chinas most famous Lake Effect. You know you can already smell the alcohol here that much of the southern chinese town of multis also the name of the liquor produced here the multi distillery is chinas most valuable company with more than the countrys biggest back chinas political elite is partial to it and us some of the bottles cost several 100. 00 euros you says they are the perfect gift to greeks that we did your talent b. R. C. Corrupt officials prefer multimeters they only drink the most expensive brands and this alcohol is the most expensive and their love for it lets the prices rise even more jaguar just needs a walk down. The Lake Effect or it takes up large swaths of multiton and many more are trying to profit from the big name within sight of the state owned giant is the distillery a family business. Customers and people in the industry know that theres a limit to the Production Capacity of matai thats where we come in the government lets us follow the lead of the mt i Company And Profit from them and that brings in some wealth to us people here of what. His company uses the same distilling techniques the grain is for meant it in earth its the pits give it a pungent aroma him innocent of Soy Sauce many people outside of china find it hard to swallow. The mashes fermented in a dry state during the Distillation Process Steam passes through the mash and releases the. Lung says the liquor mostly to individuals as well as companies they produce special editions for weddings and company and in verse 3. The intimate relationship between chinas communists and the spicy liquor began in the 1930 s. When communist troops hid in the area from their nationalist adverse riis. After they came to power they turned the factory into a state owned enterprise so it could provide them with liquor. Gets procreated the factory. And the owner who refused to hand over his business was executed for. These close links to the ready elite have called the all whose attention hes been tipped off that Mall Type also produces in a Neighboring Town a violation of through was on geographic origin so he goes to take a look. He finds the company is constructing Bost Production facilities there. And nobody cares what they do here and its as if the government agencies which should control him dont exist. Its another piece of evidence for the book he is planning to write on chinas most valuable company. Well the day is done but the conversation it continues online go find us on twitter get rid of the news or you can follow me at brett go t. V. And remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day well see you then everybody. Should.

We humans can be very inconsistent we demand the most exotic of holiday destinations expected to be unspoiled but dont put much thought into the Carbon Footprint of our flight halfway around the globe a mate of mine is headed for the tropical paradise of the boulder is chosen an island a little further away from the capital to avoid seeing the plumes of smoke that prize from all the rubbish theyve done a lot of which comes from asterism out of sight out of mind but deep down we know its there still wed like to believe the Promises Industry make about going green thats our Topic Today on mate business. I was promised pristine beaches and crystal clear waters when i took a trip to lunch in malaysia a few years back the island lived up to part of the deal it was absolutely beautiful but it didnt take long to stumble across the type of plastic waste that causes a painful death of marine mammals of course it also ends up in many fish which end up on our plates not that appetizing well some companies are trying to divert those Ocean Plastics into something more profitable how about a pair of running shoes made out of the stuff. Looks at the truth behind a very effective marketing ploy. Saving the ocean by buying new recycled products. For example with these. Drugs. In that scale theres no such thing as recycled plastic. So is recycling Ocean Plastic actually or is it just another lousy green Washing Method that companies. If you go Shopping Today recycle products are literally everywhere and the holy grail is recycled products from the. Cocacola laughs to use marine plastic for their marketing as well with their ocean ultra boosts. I mean these ads really make me believe i can see the ocean by drinking a coke or buying a new sneak but once you start looking into it there isnt really that much collecting of Ocean Plastic going on. In the Ocean Youll have a really hard time getting it out again even when its near the surface. You really wish it would be easy but surprise. Even close oh. Sure you can deploy boats that fish for plastic but this is all very expensive and relative to the millions of tons of plastic that are already in the ocean most boats only retrieve 2 tons maximum per day. Even projects backed by millions of dollars struggle this tube was supposed to get rid of 90 percent of plastic in the ocean but it didnt work and the focus was shifted to reverse it. Once you will get plastic out of the Ocean Youll have dozens of different types of plastic to sort through like these last fishing nets that Professor Gillion get tried to recycle for a research project. Well they were right lets see what we call. This batch is presorted but its still a mess we need to separated further. The ones we. Put on the lighter side. Sorting these nets according to their color is one thing but they also need to be cut down to recycle them but these really wont give up easily. Its really like you know scissor. Made out of wood. Even recycling the stuff that we throw in our bins is pretty pretty hard like i found out in my last video. But this is really different. Especially because Ocean Plastic has been degraded by soles and sunlight so it loses a lot of its original quality. That next step would be to get rid of. Even a tiny amount of Sand Seaweed or shells can make plastic nonrecyclable. Round about 5 percent its only to use every site they can work with so if we give them their material to somebody who makes pellets out of it they say not more than 5 percent. Thats pretty clear. Even when cleaned industrially sand can still be found on a microscopic level. Which is why a lot of cases products contain a mix of Ocean Plastic and other recycled material but the Ocean Plastic can only be a tiny tiny fraction of this bland but the airds still look like this. All of these products are made with nylon from because even the company markets its yard like its made from actual marine litter such as discarded fishing nets known as deer. Things that are not made from it from you know which are made from. Made from goals here and there is. Literally you know both yemenis products are very very very let less than a percent less than a personal maybe. Environmental scientist on the asteroids or has been in contact with economists several times about its problematic messaging in an email told me that Ocean Plastic only represents a small part of its yard. For our next Recycling Step we had to use material prepared by professor. Otherwise we would have been cutting here for days. These plastic pellets have been turned into a Letter Opener. So this is the final product and after all these steps you have just seen with us you can imagine how expensive such open air that this. I would say one round about 200 euros. Its really each step. Which these products are and they are made in the dust really but are about the same price as non Ocean Plastic products this only works by using very little Ocean Plastic or plastic that hasnt actually been in the ocean. Right now. There is no such thing as recycled Ocean Plastic. An international distributor for something called ocean bound plastic the term refers to plastic waste that is found within 50 kilometers of coastlines and is likely to end up in the ocean its applies exclusively to countries with poor Waste Management systems. And when you dig a little all Way Way youll find that a lot on companies Websites Land based ocean bound plastic is everywhere. This makes it a lot easier to collect and process them plastic that has actually been in the ocean so its cheap. Lets look at prices per ton for that version of plastic cost 762. 00 euros and recycled plastic goes for about 870. 00 Euros Ocean bound plastic is around 922. 00 ropes. This seems relatively affordable compared to actual Ocean Plastic judging from the 200 year old Letter Opener so production costs are likely to be much higher if real Ocean Plastic is used. There is no need for brands to overreach their marketing beyond what is such a powerful story of cleaning up our coastlines and supporting coastal communities why do we have to pretend that its actually coming out of the ocean instead of just saying what it is and delivering to customers. Like us who marketed the oceans. As made from actual Ocean Plastic when in Fact Ocean bound plastic was used to produce the ship even smaller companies have difficulty proving whether plastic actually comes from got back the german Backpack Manufacturer advertises its products as creates a trump actual Ocean Plastic they use a network of fisherman and women who collect plastic and. But as of now they havent certified this production so we dont really know if its actual plastic what we do know recycling only works as a last resort and using Ocean Or Ocean ground instead of birds of plastic is a small win for the environment just not as big as some companies want you to believe so really look at what youre buying read the fine Print Yes be that annoying person embrace it otherwise your good intentions will probably just say that. At this point the cynics among us may feel justified in leaning back and saying all that Recycling Racket makes no difference anyway the plastic will end up in my fish fingers no matter what but there is a lot of evidence to show recycling makes a difference heres a look at the virtues of the circular economy which isnt much different from the Way Nature operates. When is the circular economy. Good bye to that empty to go cap on the way to work. Farewell to that pair of worn out shoes. For so long. Our daily lives are dominated by a relentless round of Production And Consumption in the process we waste valuable resource squandering finite commodities like Oil Gas and. Throwing things away creates a lot of trash and harmful emissions. Maybe we should look to nature as an example it works in cycles plants grow and die they need to transfer load back into the ground and the process starts all over again cant we create cycles in which todays products become the woman terriers of tomorrow absolutely this principle is known as a circular economy. The goal is to preserve commodities reduce carbon emissions and avoid mountains of trash. The most high tech electronic devices contain rare earth elements and precious metals so broken t. V. Can be used to make the latest tablet but its not always so simple certain products like batteries for example are chock full of chemicals and valuable will materials that arent so easy to bring back into the cycle separating all those parts from each other is costly and labor intensive but the process works well with P E T bottles germans use about 17000000000 of them annually. P. T. Is an artificial substance made from crude oil and natural gas the cycle begins with the production of p. T. Particles subsequently they fold up and end up on supermarket shelves before being sold once their contents are consumed they are then deposited into Bottle Recycling machines in recycling centers that turned into Granny Letter which is used as the basis for new products such as new p. T. Bottles shopping bags and football jerseys and thats how 100 percent of the recycled p. T. Bottles end up back in the circulate khana me. And effective example of recycling unfortunately recycling plastic is usually more expensive than making it from scratch so there is often a lack of incentive we turn now to the worlds forests another great area of concern where good intentions alone on to nuff climate change is devastating some german forests a problem for the environment and the economy one international study put the value of germanys forests at 725000000000 euros for the past decade a global initiative as aims to plant millions of trees and its seen a measure of real success as we found out its nowhere near enough. The worlds trees are disappearing at an alarming rate in brazil alone 4 and a Half Football fields of primeval forest are lost every minute globally our forests are shrunk by 10 percent over the past 30 years. But yet these forests are essential to our survival they slow the global rise in temperature produce Oxygen And Bind Carbon Dioxide a mixed forest that as well managed provides wood and creates prosperity and jobs. Reforestation involves planting new young trees like in this nursery where Oak Tree cuttings are being used to raise a new forest. Green is will it work on the worlds forests the resort. 10 years ago representatives from many countries met in the german city of bonn where they agreed to restore de forest to dendy graded landscapes it was called the Bond Challenge each country set its own goals. Countries all over the globe committed to planting 1500000 square kilometers of new forest by 2020 a few gender taking thats an area about half the size of the indian subcontinent. But thats not all. By 2030 theyre aiming to have planted up to 3500000 square kilometers thats like covering an area larger than the whole of india with trees. Its the worlds largest ever Reforestation Program from peru in the andes to countries across africa new forest service
