Summary

As shocking scenes emerge of Afghan’s clinging to the sides planes from Kabul’s main airport and U.S. President Biden doubles down on his decision to withdraw troops from the country, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper joins Christiane Amanpour to react to the Taliban takeover and the decisions made by his former boss President Trump. We also speak to the Pakistani women’s rights activist who was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012, all for speaking up for girls’ education; Malala Yousafzai gives her take on what this takeover will mean for women and girls in Afghanistan.
