on what it could mean into the inquiry of the president s son. john: and last year on this day, the final c-17 took off from the kabul airport, leaving the nation s longest war. we will look back at what went wrong those final chaotic days in afghanistan. i m more frustrated now than i was there, finding out more and more how it was run, what they put our men and women in the military through.
this according to the u.n. s world food program. this as the country faces a cash shortage with prices for every day goods skyrocketing and banks putting limits on money withdrawals. joining me from qatar, richard engel and raf sanchez. richard, the kabul airport, is it fully back up and running now? is it at capacity? what does this mean to get the remaining americans and other foreign nationals out? it is absolutely not up and running. it is better than it was before. but back when there was a government in afghanistan, that wasn t run by the taliban. there was a u.s. and internationally backed government, kabul airport operated with international flights. not to many destinations. you could get to several locations in middle east. you could fly to europe as well. then taliban collapsed.

we re on the roof of a wedding hall. this is the front position. there are snipers. we have to stay low. joining me now is ben solomon, an international correspondent at vice news. good to see you back safely. talk to us about that sound bite that we heard there. the significance of kandahar s fall given everything that played out. why was that such a pivotal turning point? this is the second biggest city in afghanistan. it is the birthplace of the taliban and they formed in the mid 90s. so when before the taliban had a number of kabul, the real thought is if they pushed into kandahar, this he would control so much of the south and so much of the access to pakistan and the access to helpman. if they had control of that, they could easily in time stage
