That we have, our diplomatic tools both here at the united nations and at the state department. we will use our development tools. we will work with the united nations to ensure that afghan womens rights are upheld, and we will ensure that the taliban are held accountable when those rights are -- when they break those commitments. >> ambassador linda thomas green field, were grateful for you for joining us. good luck. were counting on you. this is a horrendous situation unfolding right now. i kn...

Afghan government. the taliban signed up to that. we agreed to make reductions in our forces. at the same time they committed to not allow, as you mentioned earlier afghanistan to become a safe haven for terrorists to attack the united states. then they made some other commitments as well. i was clear at the time this agreement had to be conditions based. both sides need to meet their ends of the agreement. the good news for the united states military is we were planning we ductions any way. we ...

Taiwan? that is ended the conversation. >> it should be at the center of the conversation, why wasnt it in the national security council ahead of time? hindsight is 20/20 but lets look at this closely. if you cut and run, scamper out of their in crisis mode, what it telegraphs to the world is you are not engaged, not willing to be engaged internationally. if im china i am saying this is the time to force a negotiation on that country because the united states allies are questioning around the wo...

All afghan civilians, regardless of whether they worked with the united states during the 20 years of war. the reality on the ground will likely not match up to these commitments, and i think that is the focus when we hear the white house talking about what the taliban has to say on the promises they are going to make. remember, the united states was at war with the taliban when they were on the ground controlling the afghan security forces as they fought this organization. just in six days, the...

Had taken over in afghanistan. , thatis had taken over in afghanistan. , that is a lesson that we all have to learn from, but right now we need to focus on getting british nationals out and those who have so loyally served the uk and making sure that the gains that we have made over 20 years are not lost. lets remember, we havent had a terrorist attack on the uk from afghanistan in 20 years because of uk aid, 10 million more children have been in education, because of uk efforts with others, 8 m...

International commitments ever since the obama administration. i think its too easy to say just the afghan forces and how corrupt they were and how bad the government was and blaming it all on them. i think thats not fair. i think the trump administration, which started the negotiation only with the taliban, cut out the afghan government when they started it. told the taliban, were just negotiating with you. were now giving you an agreement on paper that we are going to leave your country. the r...

Not good enough to go to a gym? this is not scientific. its not based in data. its strictly pushing a political agenda. im for vaccination but we shouldnt have inherently discriminatory abusive policies that are not based in science. so i want to emphasize your point. i think you are pot on. >> will: if we are divorce from science it makes no hypothetical completely off the table. that means we need to watch where we are going here very carefully. dr. brett giroir, i have enjoyed the conversatio...

The council held a meeting at which the afghanistans ambassador to the united nations accused the taliban of not honoring the promises and commitments and talked about the dire situation in his homeland. >> translator: we have seen gruesome images of mass executions, military personnel and target killing of civilians in kandahar and other cities? taliban members have started house to house searches in neighborhoods registering names and looking for people on the target list. there are already re...
