The deal – secured by Donald Trump and signed in Doha, Qatar in\nFebruary 2020 – committed to the withdrawal of US and allied (including\nBritish) troops from Afghanistan by May 2021. After his election, US President Joe Biden continued the plan\nfor withdrawal but with an end date of 31 August. At the time, Mr Wallace praised Mr Trump’s deal as a “small but\nimportant step towards the chance for Afghans to live in peace, free from\nterrorism\". But in the past week, Mr Wallace has described the deal as\n“rotten”. He has said that just after the deal he publicly expressed that it was a\n“mistake”, but we have yet to find a reference to this in either Parliamentary\nrecords or news cuttings from the time. Mr Wallace said today: “I never heard from a single Labour MP when that deal was done, 18 months ago… one single criticism. In fact, Keir Starmer supported it, as did all other parties in the House of Commons.” We have found no evidence that Mr Starmer publicly supported last year’s deal in the period after it was announced. But it should be noted he was not Labour leader then, and nor was there any debate in the Commons over the terms of the deal. In yesterday’s debate Mr Starmer focused on the lack of planning for the withdrawal rather than saying he had opposed it and said: “Nobody believes that Britain and our allies could have remained in Afghanistan indefinitely, or that Britain could have fought alone.” Mr Wallace also said this morning that he had “felt uncomfortable” about the Doha deal and “made representations to the US and others at the time”."},{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-58219963?post=asset:5b3a6181-6027-4ba2-9576-f71aa3fce9ac","isAccessibleForFree":"true","headline":"Mum of killed soldier defends troops' legacy","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"BBC News","url":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.files.bbci.co.uk/ws/simorgh-assets/public/news/images/metadata/poster-1024x576.png"}},"author":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"BBC News","url":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.files.bbci.co.uk/ws/simorgh-assets/public/news/images/metadata/poster-1024x576.png"}},"image":"https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/640/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2021/8/19/36fa9759-9017-4eb8-b2dc-9fc3783b20b9.jpg.webp","datePublished":"2021-08-19T20:54:07.433Z","dateModified":"2021-08-19T20:54:06.000Z","mainEntityOfPage":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-58219963","articleBody":"The mother of a soldier killed while serving in Afghanistan has insisted British troops did make a positive difference in the war-torn country.

Days after the fall of Kabul, nations are hurriedly evacuating their diplomats and citizens, leaving behind two decades of work and investments. The Taliban's rout is likely to cause a significant shift in the geopolitics of South Asia, and it could be particularly testing for India, given the country's historically tense relations and border disputes with Pakistan and China - both are expected to play a crucial role in Afghanistan's future. Pakistan shares a porous border with Afghanistan and has long been an active player in its northern neighbour's affairs. Now China is showing an interest in playing a bigger role in Afghanistan. Foreign minister Wang Yi's meeting with senior Taliban leaders last month shows Beijing doesn't want to be a silent player anymore.

But experts say that is too simplistic a view and Pakistan's hold over the Taliban has been exaggerated. Former Indian diplomat Jitendra Nath Misra told the BBC's Vikas Pandey that the Taliban did not recognise the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. \"Making the Taliban respect the border will be a top priority for Islamabad,\" he says. But there is no doubt that Pakistan now has better strategic reach in Afghanistan over India but they also have bigger issues to solve. And one of them is to ensure that the Tehrik-i-Taliban - the group responsible for launching attacks in Pakistan - do not get support from the Taliban in Afghanistan. Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Wilson Center think-tank in Washington, says Pakistan shares a long and porous border with Afghanistan and that can cause all kinds of issues.

Admiral Mullen, who oversaw the surge of US troops into Afghanistan under President Obama, noted that the US mission had some successes, including tackling the threat posed by al-Qaeda training camps, but accepted major mistakes had been made over the past 20 years. \"We got it wrong on the nation building side\" he said. \"We got it wrong with respect to the level of corruption under Karzai’s government and Ghani’s government, in the police and in the military and all the way up the chain and I think in great part that was the undoing of the mission.\" Read more:"},{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-58219963?post=asset:f4ea2c51-0696-49d0-b8e1-3d6594194335","isAccessibleForFree":"true","headline":"Trudeau: 'Almost impossible' to get all Canadians out","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"BBC News","url":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.files.bbci.co.uk/ws/simorgh-assets/public/news/images/metadata/poster-1024x576.png"}},"author":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"BBC News","url":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.files.bbci.co.uk/ws/simorgh-assets/public/news/images/metadata/poster-1024x576.png"}},"image":"https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/640/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2021/8/19/dd2e07b7-8360-4145-b046-6384966f8bc6.jpg.webp","datePublished":"2021-08-19T20:13:24.273Z","dateModified":"2021-08-19T20:13:23.000Z","mainEntityOfPage":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-58219963","articleBody":"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said it is unlikely Canada will be able to safely evacuate all Canadians and its allies from Afghanistan because of the Taliban's grip on Kabul. “It is going to be very, very difficult to get many people out,” he said. “We will get some, certainly, but to get many people out, as many as we want, is going to be almost impossible in the coming weeks.” Trudeau's comments come from a campaign stop in British Columbia.

But are they true? The BBC fact-checked some of his claims, comparing them with his earlier statements on Afghanistan and the situation on the ground. \"We trained and equipped an Afghan military force of some 300,000 strong\" This figure is contested, and considered by many experts to be a substantial overestimate. A recent investigation by BBC Newsnight has uncovered evidence suggesting that the size of the army could be low as 50,000 - much lower even than the estimates of the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. \"Are we gonna continue to lose thousands of Americans to injury and death to try to unite that country?\" Overall, since US forces invaded Afghanistan in October 2001, a total of 1,897 US military personnel were killed in action in Afghanistan and another 415 died from non-hostile causes, according to the US official monitoring body. From a peak at the height of the conflict a decade ago, the number of US casualties in Afghanistan has fallen in recent years. The last American combat deaths in Afghanistan were in February 2020.

Its branch in Yemen – Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – once considered the most dangerous, has praised the Taliban as \"an honourable and loyal group\". This may not be what the Taliban leadership wants to hear publicly as they have promised to cut their ties to the proscribed terrorist organisation that used Afghanistan to plan the 9/11 attacks 20 years ago. There are currently estimated to be several hundred al-Qaeda militants in the country, some of whom have been reportedly sighted amidst the Taliban’s ranks. A recent UN report stated there were still strong ethnic and marital ties between the two groups. Without a Western military presence in Afghanistan, or a cooperative local intelligence service, it will now be much harder to identify and intercept al-Qaeda’s activities, especially in remote, rugged areas like Kunar province. Elsewhere in the world, al-Qaeda’s affiliates in East and West Africa have been steadily recruiting. They will have had a significant morale boost from what al-Qaeda sees as a humiliating defeat for the West.

Afghanistan as Islamabad's win over India.</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">But experts say that is too simplistic a view and Pakistan's hold over the Taliban has been exaggerated. </p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Former Indian diplomat Jitendra Nath Misra told the BBC's Vikas Pandey that the Taliban did not recognise the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"Making the Taliban respect the border will be a top priority for Islamabad," he says.</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">But there is no doubt that Pakistan now has better strategic reach in Afghanistan over India but they also have bigger issues to solve.</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">And one of them is to ensure that the Tehrik-i-Taliban - the group responsible for launching attacks in Pakistan - do not get support from the Taliban in Afghanistan.</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Wilson Center think-tank in Washington, says Pakistan shares a long and porous border with Afghanistan and that can cause all kinds of issues.</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">The Taliban has released several known militants from jails and some of them could reenter Pakistan. "So India is not likely to be the main factor for Pakistan at the moment," says Kugelman.</p></article></div><div class="ssrcss-7hul07-PostActions e1ua5vbq1"><div></div><div

Afghanistan's "fighting season". </p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Admiral Mike Mullen also criticised Biden's failure to consult with US allies before withdrawing troops. </p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"We have had a real struggle here with respect to our relationships" he said. "I certainly understand how they would be both disappointed and raising questions about who we are and what we stand for".</p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Admiral Mullen, who oversaw the surge of US troops into Afghanistan under President Obama, noted that the US mission had some successes, including tackling the threat posed by al-Qaeda training camps, but accepted major mistakes had been made over the past 20 years. </p><p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"We got it wrong on the nation building side" he said. "We got it wrong with respect to the level of corruption under Karzai’s government and Ghani’s government, in the police and in the military and all the way up the chain and I think in great part that
