afghanistan is a transformed afghanistan, not the afghanistan that the taliban took over in 1986. now you see that when, for instance, last week, and active -- an act of genocide, basically, not only women, but men, protesting in the streets. but women were of course, leading these protests asking for a better afghanistan. i think they deserve for us to stand with them. in afghanistan, everyone has a gun. everybody believes in the use of violence against women, especially the taliban. oppressing the people, they were using guns and violence against these women. that is a scene we cultivated the last 20 years. it is now growing. my place in the world is before we die, let's continue to help them achieve what we want. we do not want the women of afghanistan to look like the women of the u.s. and europe. we want basic fundamental rights. the right to go to school, to go to work. to be able to have a say in the future of your country and live in a society that is equal. daniel: do the u.s. and other countries have leverage in this situation? if so, what? the u.s. and europe's leverage

and bill leaving afghanistan right now solver. i'm glad you brought up all the different of the tribes. and like, for example, the past due tribes and all these different different factions all over afghanistan . it doesn't appear that the average american certainly has any, any awareness that such tribes and the different goals exist. so how far back does america's involvement in your country go and how to average afghans view america's involvement, that, you know, at some point began to look like colonization after so many years. so much interference in terms of installing various presidents friendly to the us. yes. normally majority of people of afghanistan that the based the problem and the economic problem security problem also. i know we have a lot of suicide bombers in against our right now. i know there is a lot of kill killing of the taliban. they are killing innocent people right now right now, but there is no social media allowed to broadcast everything and i've got a center. so show media broadcast, they will out, but

afghanistan. i do not think afghanistan is done with the united states. there is an enduring and symbiotic relationship that exists there. i don't know what the next chapter will bring. i hope. it is a brighter one for the afghan people. i think we have a we we have a moral obligation to particularly help the afghans who have come here and to continue to try to get out, get those afghans of afghanistan or out of afghanistan, but also all of the afghans who managed to get out of afghanistan but couldn't get to the united states and are in other countries that are less sympathetic than our own. so i think it is a the future of afghanistan is both the future of the afghan diaspora, you know, and then. and then whatever happens inside the country. but i do think there will be change. i think that's the one thing you can you can bet on. let's hope the sixth act has a happy very nice well said said.e latest news about the publishing industry with interesting insider interviews with publishing industry experts. we'll also give you

, left afghanistan, american left afghanistan, the taliban as support that i support russia and the 1st day, the 2nd b, russia cog decision to plan an attack on of brain and now china, pakistan taliban, and a russia, they're working together to get all europe and all asian country, especially afghanistan. we had as american, i'm a american, us citizen. we did a big mess or our can 3 and 4 militia, especially afghanistan. yes, certainly i have seen those images of russian officials and chinese officials meeting with taliban leaders, which is very different than how the joe biden administration has dealt with the afghan officials now did. did us officials ever truly believe there was any loyalty among any so called allies that they made in the country? or do you think of the afghans that they dealt with in brokering these very fragile deals, these tribal leaders did those people view these relationships as more transactional in nature? not true. loyalty, actually, i've get people, they are very loyal. but the problem as artist on leadership, that they are more a stronger, done our lesson

or out of afghanistan. but also all of the afghans who managed to get out of afghan but couldn't get to the united states and to other countries that are less sympathetic than our own. so i think it is in the future of afghanistan is both the future of the afghan diaspora, you know, and then, and then whatever happens inside the country. but it do think there will be change. i think that's the one thing you can bet on. >> let's hope the sixth act has a happy ending. >> well said.

in afghanistan -- like the end of major combat operations. >>ra trashing all corporations n 20 years and we were talking back there about how in 2003 donald03 rumsfeld went to kacial and declared major combat operations over it. so to some extent it's not -- far be it to defend american people but i do but they're politicians arere telling them something that's like you knew that major combat operations wngt over americans were still fighting and dying over there but our politicians were doing this verbal to kind of make it more politically pallettable by not calling a war. >> like there's a lot. there's a lot of blame to go around after -- 0 years of war and what politician dos with regards to how they speak about war and sort off wishful thinking around war. iun think one of the -- i write about this in the book like one of the things we really i think have scriewtd up as a nation and we've done this in success of wars is we have the wrong side, we have a short-term psychology and our short-term psychology causes us to fight a very long-ter

he came to afghanistan and he said, you would destroy, i'll call you then paula one. and we will bring democracy. we are, we are, we are even worse than what we were 22 years ago. was what the of them this is this is this like before i said, you know, this amount of polar new law than is implemented one law for united states and on another level, the rest of the world the us government has been wide me, is control of the major global online platforms under the guise of the supposed campaign to reach out this information. but according to classified state documents, published by the investigative news outlets. the intercept r t. 's, maria, the national as the details. big brother is bigger than you would ever think. natalie's the american government to watch in its citizens, but it is also censoring them. that's according to a huge story, released by the intercept, whose journalists looked at hundreds of documents and emails, mainly obtained by leagues to show how the department of homeland security or d h. s, and f. b. i have for years been closely collaborating with

afghanistan is a breeding ground for terrorism. everybody that we have worked with as being slaughtered. we want to talk about closing gitmo and restricting the drone program. you're living in a world that does not exist. count me in for transparency and accountability, but i think we have lost our way. i think the biden administration is sitting on it sass while the border is completely broken. people are flowing through by the hundreds of thousands and afghanistan is hell on earth. they are not doing a damn thing about it so i wish we could have a hearing about the threat america faces from our debacle in afghanistan in a broken border and what that means for our future security. it is just not if we are going to be attacked, it is when and how much damage will be done. thank you. sen. durbin: senator, my friend has addressed me indirectly for my actual hearing on guantanamo. i hope he and both agree that paying $13 million a year to hold each detainee -- each one -- in gitmo is certainly not a wise expenditure to taxpayers resou

on the rice in afghanistan and children. i'm pregnant and lactating the men are becoming the victims of this anti of malnutrition. it seems like we've been here before because we spoke earlier this year in january, and at that time you had said that situation is so desperate that some parents are selling their children for 200 to 500 dollars because they're not getting enough to eat. they're not, they don't have money to buy food. just leave you to wonder. our agency is not getting the funding that they need to help. the people have got a son. yeah. when you say half the population needs humanitarian assistance, it requires a lot of funding. so agencies are trying to deliver the support of the donors, but the crisis is so huge that it's not sufficient. that's why the crisis is not ending the number that the numbers remain the same, but the training level best to reach out to the communities. but at the same time, as you know, the crisis is too huge to respond and it requires a lot of lot of money and support from the interna

no one's talking about money for afghanistan. well, joe biden stole the money from afghan central bank to give to $911.00 victims. and what do you make of the claims that britain will pay the same scenario in ukraine? would it be more money down the drain? well, i mean, i'm presuming there won't be so much error in ukraine that is being sponsored to end up in britain's streets. and in fantasy they will be spending so much on terrorists that may blow up parts of britain in the is that obviously we're blown up by when britain spending so much money on supporting the majority and, and, and the war that came after 911. so where, where will that money have ended up? of course, those who claim that zelinski is nothing but a corrupt comedian relying on this la jess from the biden and sooner regimes. i will say that money will be recycled back. even the money, let alone the weapons money back to florida, where he repeatedly has a home. i was interested in the report that it said that one of the reasons for the failure in afghanistan with

we enjoy greater safety here than in afghanistan, but that is all. as refugees, we have no opportunities for education, employment or any other kind of development in this country. jamshid has almost stopped caring. all that matters to him is reuniting with his family. >> i fled from afghanistan where there's a war going on. half of all people there have no perspective, no work, and are poor. given these circumstances, life is better in albania, and i would stay. reporter: even so, jamshid still dreams of making a new life in the u.s. together with his family. but with each passing day, his hopes slowly fade. lara: slovenia is a country known for its breathtaking landscapes. among these is the mountain resort of velika planina. it's less than an hour's drive from the capital ljublijana, but in many ways it's worlds away from the city. there's no running water or electricity. but there is a parliament, one where cows have political influence. reporter: in the herder's settlement on the velika planina, things run a little differently than down in the v

and i asked him how desperate the situation is for children in afghanistan right now. there's the children and understand is truly and on. i think what we just saw in your report really illustrates that you have an estimate more than 9000000 children facing critical levels of hunger. and when i went to see the work of some of our mobile health teams that look after these children, it becomes apparent you the same story time. and again, the story of a family where the father is maybe a dollar day. if he's lucky with 10 children living in one room without heating and the last time they had me on the table was 8 months ago, so they base the live of bread and maybe bit of rice. and obviously in those circumstances, the rates of malnutrition of ill health amongst especially the small children increasing rapidly. now your projects require you to corporate with radical islamic tale bond, who deny girls access to education for example. doesn't that cause problems? well, we've always made it very, very clear that we believe girls must have access to secondary education in parti

for the past 20 years, when i lived in afghanistan. it's frustrating, it's sad and -- >> sorry to hear that. -- >> yeah it's sad to see the situation. and also to see that nobody really talks about it. we talk about equality, justice, it's undue words, but there is a huge gap between what's in action. we really need to take action to prove that we do care about humans. no matter which part of the world, well said. there is always sad news. >> you should capitalize on action, will always keep it there. tarana, thanks for coming on the show. in her hands is slimming on netflix. that does it for the many her son. show us your sunday at 8 pm on msnbc, we'll kick off another week of in-depth interviews with key news makers. and you can join us anytime on facebook, twitter, instagram, and tiktok. for now, from me. goodbye! from me goodbye! moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical

the luncheon in afghanistan, life for women and girls, is shrinking the message from on top. a woman's place is at home and she should stay covered outside. a glaring contrast to this moral that somehow escaped the taliban senses. i am still kid, put a school uniform on my body, not a wedding dress but many parents feel they have no choice as money runs out. 1 miriam's father resisted the thought until the very last moment. thus, the me, every time people ask to marry my daughters, i said i wouldn't give their hands. i told him the girls must finish the university . he eventually gave in fisher. many of the girls share the same fate. it's not uncommon for them to get married voluntarily for them after the one. and while i'm at home, my conscience tells me that it's better to married it rather than be a burden on my family. what others, there's no other option left for us to gaze right in. the future is now tied to strangers of much older who now have the greatest say on how the rest of their lives will play out. and joining me not more is 40 coffee. she was the 1st woman depu

the real problem is with with the withdrawal in afghanistan is that we cut and run. and telling the world by choosing to invest in a proxy war in ukraine against russia while ignoring other countries and telling the world we are more interested in a money laundering scheme and maybe he we are more interested in the business of energy than we are about security. when america invests in ourselves, we will grow our strength economically and our border and not allow the mexican cartels to control the border and drugs killing the american people. when we invest we are saying we sht r aren't going to be used anymore and the american people are sick and tired of being used.
