citizens outside perimeter to fend from for themselves, against the taliban, we did exactly the same thing with allies, just was wasn't 2500 troops in afghanistan, u.s. troops we also had allies we abandoned. so fast forward now allies don't trust us rightfully so, you are seeing authoritarian governments across the globe take advantage of this point in time america is perceived week we took military action off the table, and in ukraine, we are not putting sophistication of equipment in place to counter any strike from russia, russia cease it has territorial blishs so does china. >> so, the china beijing olympics begin this friday. and now, china says it is going to purify the internet they don't want any negative comments about beijing into olympics, china claiming u.s. is trying to quote sabotage 22 olympics, make halve heard efforts in competition games begin friday you think china and russia will coordinate move telling after olympics; right? >> i think a probability, look china wants to purify south china sea taiwan too this is no surprise. and what american shoes weakness in re

and it was not just militarily a decision overnight to leave afghanistan and to hand it back to the taliban who we had been fighting for 20 years but to do so without even consulting your allies and from that moment in time there has been a complete vacuum of leadership in the western world. biden is regarded, let's be frank about this, as a bad joke. america's standing globally, frankly has never been lower. but in the last 48 hours, the bad joke has actually turned into something more serious. i think biden now is actually a threat to world peace. can you even imagine, given the texas that are going on in the ukraine, and eastern europe, the real concern as to what putin may or may not do. in circumstances like that, biden actually says that oh, what if it's just a minor incursion, we won't do anything. it is strategically, the biggest blunder anybody -- i can't think of any western leader who has said anything so stupid in my entire life. will: nigel i agree with your diagnosis how we arrive at this point. strength only responds to strength. strength fills the vacuum of weakness and one

of the ahmadi family who were part of that deluge of people who fled towards kabul airport after the taliban made it into the city in august. they were moments away from salvation, a flight to the united states, but they got caught in a crush at the gates of the airport and in the panic they handed their two—month—old baby, sohail, to a us soldier. he was handed over the fence. when the family then got inside they couldn't find the baby. they were then evacuated after searching the airport, they were evacuated from kabul, made it to the united states, still kept looking for the baby in the united states in the hope that he had been put on a flight, that he had made it there somehow, and they found nothing. after months of searching and a campaign by an afghan refugee group and then a story by the reuters news agency, sohail was found and he was found here in kabul alive and well. he had been picked up by a 29—year—old taxi driver, mr safi, who took the baby to raise him as his own. it seems mr safi was reluctant to give the child back but after pleads from the family and negotiation

in kabul the women with the taliban threatening them vote. i have people all the time. do you know your two u.s. senators? nobody is able to tell me. we need to say my god, we are the richest most powerful country in the world and the most violent. why are we held prisoner in our homes by all these creeps. it's the public's apathy. get off your ass and vote. judge jeanine: we take a look back at the best of justice temperature my exclusive investigation at the southern border next. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good. judge jeanine: the border crisis is a topic i covered extensively over the years. let's look at when i traveled down to the southern border. we are in cochise county in arizona. we are going to go for a little walk and find out how protected we are from those who want to cross our border. >> show them your teeth. you can see we are coming to the end of the -- the 20-foot fence. going further there is virtually no fence. so for those people who

there's probably one narrow war of sport in my adult lifetime which is the originaler mission against the taliban and al-qaida in afghanistan. that's where my instincts. but i think the reality, you know, looking at the world and clear eyed and really connecting it to americans interest has to lead you to say we can't leaveay the world economy to china's tender mercies. and it's not just xi jinping. it's the sizeon c of the chinese economy, the size of s the military they're building and a very clear sense that we're getting and you've reported on abundantly which is, what it's going to mean for our prosperity, our liberties. we're all going to be working for china if we allow that to happen. and i thinke the effect of what the biden administration is doing i even talking about ten to maybe even fifty thousand soldiers additionallyly towards eastern t europe. i mean that's a onera to one trade off. that is that is catastrophic potential mistake if it's true . but it seems like that's that's a vibe. ith and i you know, a lot ofti the people in the elite of the administration,of the senioy ranks ad

he is in a refugee camps after saving his wife and son from the taliban. >> i served in afghanistan, my heart goes out to the afghan people especially the women and young girls who are being treated so horribly by the taliban regime. my concern is lie with that and with the report that came out of the pentagon last september that says later this year afghanistan will become a safe haven again to terrorist organizations who are willing, ready and able to launch international attacks coming from afghanistan. this is a question of competence the way the biden administration handled the pull-out by withdrawing droops without evacuating our own -- our allies. people who helped us along the way. we have 83,000 afghans who were unvetted who hopped on our planes. there are so many issues related to competence that will have long term effects not on our country but the rest of the world for a long time to come done by this administration. >> dana: appreciate your time. >> bill: so democratic senator amy klobuchar calling out russia over ukraine. have a listen here. >> so our message is there

i spoke with the leader of the taliban and said "don't do it." i won't get into it on this call, but it was a rough call. we did not lose one soldier in 18 months, and then, many horribly wounded. >> hannity: i know the secret because you said a publicly you said he would wipe them off the face of the earth. is that true? >> president trump: we had a strong phone call, let me put it that way. >> hannity: that seems pretty strong. >> president trump: it was strong. he understood it. honestly, it was going to be very smooth. there was no reason for this to happen. i said "i want to take out every nuts, bolts, plane, tank, truck. we are going to take everything out," and to leave it behind and leave the hostages -- you mentioned the hostages before -- nobody knows how many americans are there. now, they are having a really hard time getting out. we have some great people in there trying to get them out. they were successful initially. now, they are not being successful, as you know better than anybody. you have been incredible on the subject. they a

probably one narrow war that i've supported that ever supported in my lifetime, the initial against the taliban in afghanistan, but he think the reality, looking at the world clear-eyed and really connecting to america's interests has to lead you to say we can't leave the world economy to china's mercy, it's not you she's in pain, if the size of the economy there, the size of the military they are building at the very clear sense we are getting and you've reported on abundantly, which is what it's going to me for our prosperity at our liberties, we are all going to be working for china if we allow that to happen and i think the effective with the biden administration is doing but even talking about ten to maybe even 50,000 soldiers additionally towards eastern europe, that's a one-to-one trade-off. that is a catastrophic attentional mistake if it's true. but it seems like that's the vibe, and a lot of the people in the elite if he had administration, the senior ranks of the of administration, they really believe it and i don't question their integrity necessarily but i do question their judgmen

but after more than seven weeks of negotiations and pleas, and a brief detention by taliban police, the baby was handed back to his jubilant grandfather and other relatives still in kabul. it is now hoped baby sohail will travel to america to be reunited with the rest of his family, who have since been resettled and are currently living in michigan. the case has once again highlighted the real plight of many parents who were separated from their children during the hasty evacuation efforts and the withdrawal of us forces from afghanistan after a 20—year war. greg mckenzie, bbc news. finally, three new photographs of the duchess of cambridge have been released to mark her 40th birthday today. the portraits were taken by fashion photographer paolo roversi, and show catherine wearing alexander mcqueen dresses. they will go on display this year in berkshire, st andrews and anglesey — three places that she has lived. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello, good afternoon. many parts of the country, today and improvement yesterday, where we had cloud and rain. there is some cloud

but also in trying to get the taliban to live up to human rights commitments and to make the situation in afghanistan fundamentally one in which afghans want to stay and feel safe in rebuilding their country. so those conditions, those human rights conditions, very much guide our official dealings with people in afghanistan at the moment as well as trying to help those who need help. >> ambassador, thanks for joining the program this morning. you're always welcome to come back. >> thank you so much. >> really important conversation there. >>> still to come, a very difficult week for former president trump and his escalating legal troubles as the d.a. in georgia calls for a grand jury to look into his attempts to overturn the 2020 election in the state of georgia. >>> and hope for relief from the current wave of coronavirus as more areas across the u.s. see a peak in cases. >>> plus, this hour, the three men sentenced to life in prison for the murder of ahmaud arbery. they're back in the spotlight as a judge decides certain evidence can be withheld from their upcoming federal hate crime

you're not going to believe it as far as afghanistan with the taliban came back, many of the extremist of the jihadist of people who are not connected to them but at the same time are inspired by them started to move. this is one distinct we saw tonight in texas but there are a lot of these incidents in europe and middle east and elsewhere. so we have to be on our guards and very attentive to what's happening around. ashley: you say we have to be on our guard i want toed touch on this this is all speculative but do you think that there's you know any chance this is tied to what happened in afghanistan few months back? and where we go from there? >> well, look what we don't see, in fact, is what these individuals are radicalized or who have been indoctrinated meaning yes taliban came and took over now and what they're saying to supporters and support are telling colleagues around the world that's missing link that we heed to pay attention to. because why 70 after 6 of or 7 years of not hearing much about these terror attacks and terror acts we said we see one at least here in the united

amy: let me ask you more about taliban's treatment of women post on wednesday, the taliban raided the home of a woman rights activist in kabul just days after she took part in an anti-taliban protest. she posted this video online when the taliban arrived at her apartment. and because this is not translated, but you can hear the fear in the voice of the woman. she was arrested soon after, along with her three sisters. if we can end this issue and what you feel needs to happen now, jane. >> amy, i can relay with these women have been telling me when i was on the ground in november, i attended one of their street protests and they asked the media to,. they wanted the international press in particular to come and cover these issues and they say very clearly, we feel safer when you're here. there's a reason she put that video online. she knows the taliban would shoot those men dead in the street if there were not video cameras there and international press ready to cover it. the taliban are trying to do a dance between not looking like they have gone soft because they're at war with isis -

the role of the taliban. the evolving nature of the afghan government, future of afghanistan, that problem is here now. as we speak. day-to-day. we see the rollback of women's rights. we had hopes, i think, in the beginning that the new government would somehow try to behave in a more moderate fashion. but i think they are reverting to form. so the picture from the u.s. perspective doesn't look bright. i can understand why it should be high on the list. paul: can i say something about afghanistan, too. it's a bit of a paradox because i think a lot of americans look at what happened in august in kabul as well as the drawdown of u.s. forces in iraq and syria over recent years. more or less psychologically drawn a line under the 9/11 era. i think as meghan correctly points out in many respects the terrorist threat to the u.s. may now be on the rise again as a result of our departure. that has a larger debate about when we were -- whether we were doing the right way and how long we do it. there is a disconnect th

this going directly to the taliban, or is going to ng gos to help the people? you know, the afghans are starving. horrific things are happening to children. children are being sol by their families -- sold by their families. it's terrible what's happening this. >> yes, rachel. and let's all remember the reason we are faced with 22 million afghans starving right now as they're going through a difficult winter season is because of the disastrous withdrawal that we had in august under president biden. he ignored all of the advice of his military commanders and decided to get out as quickly as possible. and, yes, rachel, those dollars -- the additional $308 million that the biden administration has released -- ultimately, it does have to go through the taliban and the haqqani islamic terrorist network. so this is something that the biden administration says they issued licenses very quietly at the end of december which allowed the money to flow through the taliban and the that canny network. now -- haqqani network. now, they have been barred from money flowing thro

i tweeted long time ago that if america would give ukraine 10% of what was left for taliban, then putin would be listening. so, it's still a big talk. it's more like a lip service, but ukraine needed these weapons yesterday. >> yeah, i mean, i -- >> why don't you think they're there yet, evelyn? >> well, that is a good question and i don't have full insight into what's there or what's being shipped there that's obviously not always public but the ukrainians need more air defense. they need more maritime support. it's not just land. in addition to that, i've argued in a "new york times" interview with elaine cooper that we should be providing realtime intelligence to the ukrainian military because that would make a huge amount of difference. >> yeah. i couldn't agree more. also, i think remember -- we should remember that if ukraine -- >> we actually -- guys, i need to -- garry, i need -- i need to wrap this conversation. i actually wish we could continue it because i think it's fascinating but of course this is going to be developing in the days to come, the next meeting between russia

personally intervened so a british man could airlift animals from afghanistan last summer, when the taliban took control of the country. yesterday, an email released by a parliamentary committee stated that he'd authorised the evacuation of pen farthing, his staff and more than 150 cats and dogs under the care of his nowzad charity, at a time when people fleeing the taliban were left behind. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster, what we saw was not allegations by opposition politicians all boris johnson opponents in his own ranks, the committee chaired by conservative mp was handed internal correspondence from the foreign office that suggested boris johnson had authorised the evacuation of pen farthing and his animals from kabul. that is controversial because as we know there are still people left behind the government was trying to get up. where the government has been solid on this is saying no animal was prioritised over any human being. there were elements of the evacuation that were chaotic, but they are maintaining the animal evacuation was not at the expense of r

as the soviets learned in afghanistan against the taliban and against the other groups, that would be extraordinarily difficult. we don't want u.s. forces to get in there directly. that's geography, a military risk of doing that. so the russians have not challenged nato, if you think about it. they're very careful. we have to strengthen nato. nato can't just be a verbal commitment. nato has to be an actual -- we have to make sure our capabilities meet our commitments. ukraine is in the gray area where we don't have formal commitments but we have other commitments. and what we've got to do rather than directly doing things ourselves, can we raise the cost to the russians? the problem is, and you just talked about it, we can't really raise some of the economic costs. the europeans won't be there with us. they weren't there often with us during the cold war against the soviets, particularly this new german government. they're not going to be strong. >> see, that's the thing. it's more in europe's interest to push back russia. why do we have to be at the forefront? why aren't the european

separately this is a person that the taliban and al qaeda have repeatedly called for the release of over many years going back to 2010 and 2011. there have been calls for her release. the leader of al qaeda at the time actually mentioned her specifically in terms of her release. so this isn't just your average terrorist that this is in relation to. this is someone quite significant, a major catch when it was done in 2008 and a major trial when it happened. so they're definitely going to be looking for a larger intelligence plot. you would be concerned if you were the fbi about copycats. is there anybody else that might undertake an attack or in communication with al qaeda planners, coordinators, or taliban planners and coordinators? it's only been a few months since we left afghanistan. they're going to try to explore the international terrorism dimensions, and it will be a tough chore, especially working with international partners trying to really bring what may or may not be a lone actor. >> this has been going on since 11:00 a.m. central time. good sign or bad sign of how this is goi
