Betrayed them. they did not believe president bidens commitments that we would continue to work with them and we pointed out, i pointed out earlier a number of steps we could have taken to shore up that morale, whether they would have worked, i cant tell you that, but i can tell you there were things we could have done which could have made this at least a much slower process and more controls one and we did not take them. the president likes to stand at the straw man, have to get out or reinfor...

Served us over these 20 years, i believe we have a moral obligation to follow through with our commitments and bring them to the youts and make sure they stay safe. they put everything on the line for us, and we should not allow obstacles given away right now to prevent us from doing right by them. >> these are wonderful people that deserve that. i totally agree. how hard is it to see the taliban now in near complete control, if not complete control of afghanistan after, what, two decades of u.s...

And what people here very much want to hear and see is a clear, coherent plan for the u.s. we sat down with the taliban. we hashed out a deal. this is how its going to work. were going to do this first. then this is the next plan. and what were not getting that. were getting a lot of platitudes, a lot of sort of commitments and principle. but not hearing that absolute rock solid assurance if you worked with america, if you put your life on the line, if youre facing threats, we will get you out. ...

The issue. thats not our intention.were relying on the good will of the taliban to do it for us. what do you think of that? >> i remember afghanistan is a tribal environment. we have the taliban. we also have local tribal leaders that control their geographical area. what the taliban says today, the tribal leader may say no tomorrow. its a fluid situation. we dont know what will happened with regards to commitments or agreements. its not like the monolithic united states or soviet union. its a g...

>> reporter: at the white house today, president biden and his advisers scrambling to bring order to the chaotic evacuation of tens of thousands of americans and afghan allies from taliban-controlled kabul. >> the commitments holds to get everyone out that in fact we can get out and everyone that should come out and thats the objective. >> reporter: yet, so far the evacuations are moving slowly. more than 5,000 american troops are n control of the airport, but its the taliban that decides who ca...

Again, there were many commitments made, and we have not seen those commitments. i think at cop26 theres going to be — and i want to begin again by thanking the honourable alok sharma, because he is working very steadfastly. thats the british official, politician in charge of cop26. who will the president going forward. we hope, for example, he is putting financing on the agenda, mitigation, adaptation. hes put loss and damage — these are real conversations for the caribbean. we experience a...

People. this claim that oh, this is a civil war, and we just need to get out of there. that is not why we went into afghanistan. we did not go into afghanistan to secure womens rights or political freedom or any of that. went in there one purpose to make sure it did not become a safe haven for terrorists to launch attacks on america and its allies. that mission is clearly not been accomplished and the biden administrations withdrawing not only incompetently but prematurely and that is what is go...

Said too dangerous to release. they traded them for the deserter, bowe bergdahl. now, that commander, is sitting right there at the desk making commands and taking over afghanistan. jacqui heinrich, our reporter in washington, pressed jen psaki on this. does the president regret it? listen. >> the administration is left to negotiate with the taliban, including one of the commandos released from prisoner swap when president biden was vice president. how is he digesting. >> that first i would note...

Later. a new government scheme to resettle 20,000 afghan refugees "doesnt go anywhere near far or fast enough". thats according to the snps westminster leader, ian blackford. the party is calling for the uk to offer sanctuary to at least 35,000 people in the wake of the taliban takeover. lets speak to the snps foreign affairs spokesman, alyn smith. good morning. you have some of the detail of what the government is proposing, what do you say? we have some of the — proposing, what do you say? w...
