states and the united kingdom. well, with respect, that's not well—known knowledge at all. a whole host of different independent experts reckon that russia is the territory from which many cyber attacks are coming, both state and non—state actors. but very significant, recently, afterjoe biden met your president, vladimir putin, biden warned that time was running out for russia to rein in ransomware groups that were striking the united states and actually causing a great deal of economic damage. and it was interesting to see that, about a week or so later, one of these key ransomware organisations, revil, suddenly disappeared from the dark web. so, russia did appear to be listening after all. uh, you know that what has come out of the meeting between putin and biden on the issue of cyber attacks, it was the beginning of a serious conversation on the level of experts, meeting between representatives of the security council of two countries, and this is a professional conversation. and i regret that we do not hav

i thank the representative, the united kingdom for a statement. i know give the floor to the representative of kenya. you have the floppies. good morning, mister president. i have the honor to make this statement on behalf of the a 3 plus one, namely canyon to media. justly, you know, we've been listening to an emergency session of the un security council, devry new york. just to recap the few things that we said we heard from the, the invoice, from france and the u. k. speaking not for very long and talking mostly about just how they want to ensure that humanitarian organizations are allowed to continue to work to for the un to, to, to focus on addressing the needs of the humanitarian needs of the citizens of afghanistan. no much be on the u. s. envoy reiterated that point. talked about the the aid that sitting at border crossings that is still controlled by the taliban. demanding that they released that aid into the country, but also issued a warning to the taliban. that if any harm comes to any us soldiers or citizens that the us would meet tha

this is part of the united kingdom's parliament. they've actually looked at the cost of bailing out everybody right to lockdown. so this is again, official, authoritative media, the u. k will be paying for co bid for decades, says m p 's and to new reports, the public accounts committee said number tends response to the crisis, has exposed to u. k. taxpayers to quote, significant financial risks. the m p is also attacked government spending on unusable protective kit. so apparently the government spent, you know, over 10000000000 pounds on p p personal protection equipment for hospitals and stuff, but about 2000000000 pounds of it is unusable. apparently they order stuff that's not actually, you know, qualified to be used in hospitals. right. what i was kind of interesting here is that the countries already has a debt to g d p ratio above 100 percent. it's just that 99.7 percent according to this article. ok. and so that, that's on trend there to break 100 percent threshold and go higher. so financially speaking that point of instab

systems that are in need of returning here to the united kingdom. but many, many afghans are actually desperate to flee from the taliban takeover as well, and have been emailing the united kingdom, the foreign office trying to get some help. so what we're hearing now is a minister has admitted that email. some schools of people have not only not been replied to a process, but not even being read by many, many ministers here in westminster. meaning that many people are still stuck in the region and fearing for their lives without any sense that they will ever be able to get out. despite all of this, dominick rob the foreign secretary is still maintaining. they were real, a tangible gains from the 18 year occupation when colleagues all around him over the past few weeks have even been pushed to the point of floods, of tears in the house of commons, saying the absolute opposite to dominic rob. now he will indeed be stopped in a foreign affairs select committee. that's an opportunity for many m p 's to really grill the foreign secretary office handling

states, the united kingdom and france to be less targeted at the taliban. but the resolution does note that the taliban has said that there will be safe passage for anyone who wants to leave the country going forward as far as they are concerned. so this is really meant to be a signal that the international community expects that and will hold the taliban to its word, moving forward on those issues. and again, the humanitarian aspects of the situation on the ground is of particular concern. we've heard you on fish in the last week or 2 really stressing their growing need for help, for many afghans in particular children. unicef worried about 10000000 children more than 500 of them have died in conflict so far. refugees, there's 3 and a half 1000000 displaced people because of conflict in afghanistan, and there's a growing food insecurity situation because of drought in addition to, to violence. and so the worry is that once us troops leave and the situation at the airport changes, the focus will shift away from the country even as the humanitarian crisis ge

here in the united kingdom. however, of course i easier said than done considering the taliban operating board checkpoints and really is putting a lot of trust in the taliban to uphold that side of the deal. allowing any safe passage to anybody that wishes to leave. it does come. of course, the britain promised that all you k citizens all u. k. nationals. and indeed, all of those assisted and the occupation assisted the british army and the occupation in the last 18 years would be able to return to the united kingdom. however, as the weeks and days been passed, many ministers in parliament was saying not everybody would be able to get out. and now dominic rob, as we heard, is it missing? he has no idea how many british citizens still remain in afghanistan. but it's actually maintain that the u. k has done a good job and that people should stop attacking the u. k for its own as occupation process. anyone getting back passing briefings either at me or the foreign commonwealth and development office is frankly not

however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking how they are today. and a radio interview became a very, very emotional. he even became quite choked up. some people will get back and we will have to do our best. and so countries the processes, people, why do you feel it? so personally, mr. wallace can understand because it's 20 years of sacrifice is what it is. parliament is being recalled back from some recess i saw on wednesday. i think i'll be speaking of everything from the war on terror as gender and foreign policy in the 1st place to the very fact that 5 weeks ago the prime minister of foreign johnson said the tale bon takeover would be out of the question . obviously, that is actually wrong at this point. so many people will be questioning the prime minister on all of that. but what about the intelligence that provided this nato acts this in the 1st place? and crucially, what will happen to all of these refugees over the last 18 years, millions of people in africa, nissan have been displaced. and now we are set to see quite undoubtedly another

well, the question here in the united kingdom is, where is the government and where is the leadership in responding to the crisis in the stone? in fact, the last time we heard from the prime minister of ours johnson last week, he says that person should be incredibly proud of what is the chief in the region, obviously in light of his complete tale. bon, take a very questioning response indeed. and today, the prime minister is posting a cobra meeting. that's a meeting where the cabinet should all be attending, but the foreign secretary dominic rob is nowhere to be seen as he is on holiday. and obviously it's his job to try and deal with these international issues, particularly in regard to foreign policy that has respond to instigate as a whole host of criticism against him. so the foreign secretary to go a while during an international crisis of this magnitude is nothing short of a shameful. i think it was amazing, staggering that the foreign secretary was still on holiday, while i canister was collapsing to the taliban. you've got to be on duty during that sort of period where we're

however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking how did today . and a radio entity became a very, very emotional, he even became quite choked up he himself is a soldier and he said some people might not be able to get back. somebody get back and we will have to do our best and countries the processes people. why do you feel it? so personally mr. wallace can undersold because it's 20 is a sacrifice. is what it is. now, parliament is being recalled back from some research on wednesday. it begins at 9 30 in the morning, some 5 hours will be dedicated to a debate on this ongoing crisis. i'll be speaking of everything from the war on terror as gender and foreign policy in the 1st place to the very fact that 5 weeks ago the prime minister forest johnson said that a bon takeover would be out of the question. obviously, that is actually wrong at this point. so many people will be questioning the prime minister on all of that. but what about the intelligence that provided this nato, ex, this in the 1st place? and crucially, what will happen to all of these

but the question here in the united kingdom is, where is the government and where is the leadership in responding to the crisis in australia is done. in fact, the last time we heard from the prime minister of ours johnson last week, he says the president should be incredibly proud of. what is the chief in the region obviously in light of his complete, tiny bon take very questioning response. indeed in today, the prime minister is hosting a cobra meeting. that's a meeting where the cabinet should all be attending, but the foreign secretary dominic rob is known to be seen as he's on holiday. and obviously it's his job to try and deal with these international issues, particularly in regards to foreign policy that has respond to instigate as a whole host of criticism against him. so the foreign secretary to go a while during an international crisis of this magnitude is nothing short of a shameful. i think it was amazing, staggering that the foreign secretary was still on holiday, while f canister was collapsing to the taliban. you've got to be on duty during that sort of period where we're

so i don't know what the foreign office is thinking over say the united kingdom has been part of this nature occupation over the last 18 years, the brit 1st. and initially when to under the international pretense of a pro, humanitarian and pro democracy mission. however, all carefully but the very fact and speed of this taliban take many people point to the defeat 1st. militarily. politically, the sounds is a very humiliating time for the west and that foreign policy because the west has always predicated its entire regimes on being the most robust. and it's not just on to will activists that have this point of view. but even some tory back benches in government, this is completely humiliate for the west. we assembled the most incredible technologically advanced lines. the world is ever seen, and were being defeated by an insurgency that armed with a k 40 sevens and all p, jeez. this will be the biggest own goal made by the west. so far this century, the humanitarian disaster that's about to unfold will be catastrophic. the migration challenges will be huge. we will see further terror

and turkey, the united states and united kingdom, and our partners and their role in securing the airport. i think all the allies who have today pledged to receive afghans at risk. second, we discussed our approach to those in kabul. the eyes of the world are on afghanistan. we expect the television to uphold their commitments and ensure afghans -- afghanistan does not become a safe haven for international terrorism. the taliban must put an end to violence around the country and uphold the rights of all afghan citizens, men, women and children. over the years nato's support of the international community has allowed afghan unprecedented social, economic and political progress. any afghan government that attempts to undo this progress risks international isolation. third, ministers agreed we will not allow terrorist once again from afghanistan. nato's engagement was response to terrorist attacks on united states on 9/11. our objective was to prevent terrorists from using afghanistan as a safe haven for further attacks on. no terrorist attacks on allied soil have been organized from afghani

boris johnson moment for the united kingdom. boris johnson praised _ moment for the united kingdom. boris johnson praised the _ moment forthe united kingdom. err"; johnson praised the air left out of the cup afghanistan, despite arrived this morning in the uk. the coming months will see us find out how much economic and political influence g7 countries can exert on the troubled region that these families have left behind. we can talk now to our afghanistan correspondent secunder kermani in kabul. you were at the taliban press conference, how do you interpret their comments about who can leave? those comments by the taliban about afghans not being allowed to go to the airport have raised real concern of course. i spoke to one of their spokesman me what they meant was those afghans who don't have the right document cannot go but those who do still can. he also said that the group, the taliban, not in favour of afghans leaving the country and so this is adding to the fears of trying to fly out that doing so after the end of this month is going to be even more difficult. the taliban cle

thank you. >> i think the representative of the united kingdom. i give the floor to the representative of ireland. >> think you very much. we welcome the adoption today of this resolution, along to express our appreciation to france, the u.k. and the u.s. for their efforts. mr. president, ireland voted in favor of this resolution because we believe in the importance of the council's voice at this critical juncture for afghanistan. we would have preferred a united message. our thoughts today are with those afghans were desperately trying to reach safety. with women and children who know their fundamental rights are at risk and all afghans suffering humanitarian need including those hungry and without safe access to water. this is where our collective attention needs to be. we cannot look the other way. that is why the focus in this resolution on ensuring full, safe and unhindered access to the u.n. and all humanitarian actors to deliver life-saving and life-sustaining humanitarian aid is so important. we also welcome the emphasis on the opposing of

so when you have somebody like rory stewart — who, in the united kingdom, was a former secretary for international development — and he says he would have liked to target uk aid to the poorest people in the world, rather than paying reparations, "in some weird belief," he says, "that we're going to somehow undo 300, 400 years of colonial history by writing cheques to people." well, there you go again, there you go again. the narrative of those who believe that they ought to determine for the victims of this process how they should... but, no, he's saying, "let me pay it to poorer people in the world," target uk aid there, rather than to the relatively affluent people in barbados. zeinab, in the face of emancipation legislation, the slave owners were saying to the british and the european parliaments, "you don't need to pass emancipation legislation. so many of the enslaved people are doing well. so many of them now have their own home, they have property, and then a percentage of them are free, and they are doing so well. all you have to do is extend slavery longer and more and mor

first step you wanted was a formal apology from the former colonial colonisers like the united kingdom and so on. you have not got very far, have you? well, because there have always been two approaches to this matter. the oppressor class, the beneficiaries of these crimes against humanity have always preferred to have a settlement approach. look what germany has just done in namibia. that was not reparations, that was a settlement. that was what germany paid in regards to the genocide in the early 20th century. and that has become the model for many european countries. the americans are ambivalent about it. but here is the issue — you have to say that reparations is a process. it is not an event. settlement is an event. you can show that you have suffered harm, the harm has become systemic, those who have benefited from that harm could actually see here is $1 billion, take it and go away. that is closure. reparations says no. so what do you want, then? first of all, reparations is a process. it begins with the step that says we admit responsibility for the crimes we have committed.

not unlike the say of the united kingdom or even japan. and they feel that without that space too freely discussed in a critical way on a, you know, mainstream public platform without the risk of going to prison. and then that is very little that we can do to improve the situation as far as it's, you know, as far as the monitoring institution is concerned. so they want, well, what they want as simple, you know, in the united kingdom, you can mark the queen. some british people may disapprove that, but that's part of the region. while in thailand, actually the ty press cannot write negative names about the monarchy this you know, self, censorship is prevalent and this is more unfortunate. so what's happening is that the younger generation pushed the debate onto social media. and jade said, you know, they defamation, you know, that from atari remark expressed to being used. i saw, you know, terrible graph at the attacking the king. but partly that's because these younger people feel that there's no freedom to, you know, discussion about the

of its major allies, including the united kingdom, australia, japan, india, and the like weapons and equipment is not the only stuff the u. s. wasted in gunnison billions of taxpayer dollars would dumped down the drain of failed projects and initiatives. $20000000.00 that makes the soldier look like he target on the shooting range. i mean sure. as long as it looks good, i hate to be an afghan soldier wearing a uniform. it's sort of like, shoot me written on the back. yes. the american military spent almost $30000000.00 on the uniform with a for as design to be used in a country which has only 2 percent of its land covered by trees. 176000000 was flashed out on a road that failed to last even a month, and not because it was bombed or anything parts of it were simply washed away. america also burned through $9000000000.00 to eradicate of gamma extends in from a poppy fields. instead, year to year, the rates of opium cultivation showed a steady rise. despite the investment, the cultivation of opium poppy in galveston has trended upward for 2 decades and insecurity has made it difficult

we have called for a four-nations summit to integrate our efforts across the united kingdom. i hope that the prime minister will respond positively and take the opportunity to meet the devolved administrations to discuss this. perhaps he will indicate now that he is happy to do that. the prime minister indicated assent. >> we have it on the record that the prime minister is happy to do that-that he is happy to have a four-nations summit. i am grateful. >> there has been much focus today on making sure we offer sanctuary for people from afghanistan, but last night i was speaking to my carmyle constituent mohammad asif, who is originally from afghanistan. he wants to make sure that we also offer humanitarian protection to those who are already seeking asylum in the city of glasgow. on the point made by the honorable gentlemen, yes, the city of glasgow has done its fair share to welcome refugees and we stand ready to do a lot more, but i have to say to him that 30 refugees per parliamentary constituency is a paltry number that he should be ashamed of. >> at the end of the day, i

however, the defense secretary ben wallace here in the united kingdom speaking how they are today. and a radio interview became a very, very emotional. he even became quite choked up. some people will get back and we will have to do our best countries to processes because why do you feel it? so personally mr. wallace can undersold because it's 20 is a sacrifice. is what it is. parliament is being recalled back from some a recess that's on wednesday. i'll be thinking of everything from the war on terra's gender and foreign policy in the 1st place to the very fact that 5 weeks ago, the prime minister of foreign johnson said that a tiny bon takeover would be out of the question. all this me, that is actually wrong at this point. so many people will be questioning the prime minister on all of that. the me at the height of the 2020 corona virus pandemic mass media really covered stories from africa. the world was more interested in kind of it, and africa had more less infected people in europe. but one story got people's attention. newspapers reported that kenya was having an elephant b

i now give the floor to the represented of of the united kingdom. you have the floor, please. >> thank you, mr. president and thank you secretary, for your briefing. mr. president, what is happening now in afghanistan is a tragedy. we have long believed the only path to a sustainable peace in afghanistan and regional stability by a negotiated political settlement. we have worked hard to breathe -- to breathe life into negotiations with the taliban and the u.s., our leading ally, and other regional powers. the taliban pledged to engage in those talks in good faith. their actions on the ground have betrayed that promise. mr. president, the taliban must immediately do three things. first, they need to cease all hostilities and military action to ensure the protection of civilians and allow a safe and orderly departure for others who wish to leave. second, they must commit unequivocally not to harbor or give safe haven to terrorist groups. third, the taliban must honor promises to protect and uphold human rights, including those of women, girls, and oth
