Elite Afghan troops face return to Taliban after UK ‘betrayal’ – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



Around 200 members of the Afghan special forces, trained and funded by the UK, face imminent deportation back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, an investigation by BBC Newsnight has found.

The soldiers fled to Pakistan – which now says it will expel Afghan refugees.

One former UK general has called it a “betrayal” and a “disgrace”, and back in 2021 then Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Parliament that the service of these Afghan special forces had been “incredibly important”, adding that the UK would do “whatever we can” to get “safe passage for them”.

    This is why knowing history is important most of you don’t realise how many times we have taken sides armed and trained soldiers and then abandoned them to turn against us and I don’t see us learning from that mistake any time soon, our political changes at home have huge consequences around the world

    Most of them gave up their weapons without a fight to get a flight to the states. Cowardly if you ask me. And I’m saying this because I’m a soldier that spent 5.5 years of my life there and I was the last there in 2021

    LOL you Afghan bumpkin. What did you expect from a foreign force occupying your country. Don't blame the British now, you are the traitor here for selling out to an occupying force, the British were just being British, seeking their own interests. They are not your mother.

    The UK has become a shithole country since the Indians took over it. Same will happen to USA if they allow Ramaswamy to take power. Indians are corrupt through and through when it comes to politics and frankly, quite brain dead.

    This is what happens when you have politicians making all the decisions and NONE of the fighting.

    If they decide to wage war they should be the ones fighting in it.

Meta to pay up to $18bn to settle claims its platforms harm children | BBC News

Published

on



Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (£13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.

A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.

Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.

Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

PC Andrew Harper’s killers to stay in jail | BBC News Exclusive

Published

on



Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding. 

In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release. 

Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.
