GB News will broadcast a special program on the rapidly unfolding human tragedy in the aftermath of the withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan.
The program will be hosted by GB News presenter Colin Brazier who has reported from within Afghanistan on the Taliban and the US led military operation.
“Like many of those who’ve been to Afghanistan, I’ve been struck by the collapse of a state which – for all its corruption – was showing signs of stabilization. What happens now to the people of a country where war is more of a way of life than peace?

“The questions come thick and fast. Are the Taliban different this time? Will there be a migrant exodus westwards? Were British military deaths futile? Can we avoid Afghanistan becoming a terrorist playground, or a Chinese satrapy? Will Joe Biden’s reputation ever recover? It’s a story which marks a massive punctuation mark in the story of how East and West combine or conflict. It matters deeply to our viewers - and to me.”
