US commander warns of worse violence in Afghanistan when American troops leave – BBC News

Published

on



America’s longest-serving commander in Afghanistan says he expects Taliban violence to get worse, as US-led forces withdraw from the country over the coming months.

President Biden has said that all US troops will leave the country by September 2021, ending a deployment that’s lasted 20 years.

Recent violence has included a bomb attack outside a school in Kabul in which dozens of schoolgirls were killed.

Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting from Kabul by chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet.

    Watching this again I could see the pain and grief more clearly not only in the Afghanistan people but in General Austin Scott Miller I've never really understood war but being a woman I know what hurt is. One thing I've always heard do your best and when you've done that that's all you can do . I believe strongly in God and General Austin Scott Miller did more than his best. You will always be remembered now and in history you are a fine, honest, caring man . I know God will always be with you. You have a big heart.

    it is not only a mistake but a huge blunder, USA has unfortunately committed having decided to leave Afghanistan like an orphan. i feel they could wait longer, train Afghanistan army better to fight against terrorists and then leave them. Now it is like finding oneself in the middle of nowhere. it is just shocking.

    Your turn rest of the world. These were just kids who were brainwashed into fighting a war thinking they are making a better world. Does no one learn anything from history? Yall remember Vietnam right? Its this cute little country. Maybe the government will start spending our tax money on good things now…I highly doubt it though unfortunately

    Scoot you knew what will happen when US troops leave Afghanistan and the Taliban is making chaos and kill the people, so not much different with Mujahidin collaborated with US to kick off the Soviet out of Afghanistan.The war hasn't finished yet after long period of time without success but fail. Should learn from during Vietnam war. And I hope there is no more war again and learn how to make a peace with your enemy even you don't like it. Shalom.

    After US withdrew from Vietnam in August 73 the NVA captured Saigon in April 75 thats 20 months. After US withdrew from Iraq in December 2011 Isis deadly took Baghdad in Summer of 2014 thats aprox. 30 months. If Us leave Afghanistan in September 2021, Taliban will reach Kabul around the Summer/Fall 2023. My opinion

Ukraine disputes Trump claim Musk reversed Starlink restrictions | BBC News

Published

on



Ukraine is still recording issues with the Starlink network, sources within the defence ministry say, after Donald Trump said limits on the satellite uplink had been reversed by Elon Musk.

The sources told the BBC that instances of drones experiencing connection loss at speeds of 161km/h (100mph) were being recorded, hampering military operations.

The US president had denied instructing the tech billionaire to restrict connectivity to Starlink’s military-grade counterpart, Starshield, before saying on Thursday that Musk had “put it back”.

Musk previously said he was not behind the slowdown, which affected Ukraine’s ability to use attack drones and co-ordinate defensive operations.

Attack ad with candidate’s estranged mother sparks backlash | BBC News

Published

on



Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign released an ad earlier this week featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother.

In the clip, she urges people in the state of Ohio not to vote for her daughter, saying she has “lied her entire life”.

Acton’s past is well documented. She and her brother were removed from their mother’s custody as children, which Acton says occurred after her stepfather sexually assaulted her at the age of 12.

Acton’s brother is among those who have condemned the ad, saying turning alleged sexual assault into “a political talking point” was a “despicable low”.

Ramaswamy confirmed on Tuesday that the ad came from his campaign, and he later pledged to spend $4m (£2.9m) to further air it.

From footage of an Ecuadorean priest being killed by a crucifix, to the man who was attacked by a tiger on camera, snuff content appears to be making a comeback.

On this episode, Marianna and Matt examine how various platforms’ responses to so-called trauma porn have evolved since an initial tightening of restrictions following the livestreamed Christchurch shootings in 2019.
