A | 高市早苗首相が電光石火の衆院解散で、てんやわんやの年明けでしたが、芸能界も驚きのニュースが続きます。 On the one-year anniversary of US forces’ hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan after a 20-year deployment, there is renewed focus on the decision-making made by the Joe Biden administration that resulted in the swift fall of the Afghan government and the eventual return to power of the Taliban* Islamist group.,With the Democratic POTUS’ approval rating hitting historic lows and eating away at his party’s November midterm prospects, it is commonly believed that his handling of the Afghan crisis at the time of the pull-out created the momentum that began to drag down Americans’ confidence in Biden’s leadership.,The United States-led military offensive "Operation Enduring Freedom" was originally launched by former US President George W. Bush in pursuit of terrorists from Al Qaeda** - including leader Osama bin Laden - for masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US.,At the time, a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamist terrorist group Al Qaeda killed 2,996 people in the US as hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, hijacking another that failed to reach its target, crashing in Shanksville, Pa., and a third that struck the west side of the Pentagon.,© AP Photo / AMY SANCETTASmoke billows from the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center before they collapsed on September 11, 2001 in New York, NYSmoke billows from the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center before they collapsed on September 11, 2001 in New York, NY© AP Photo / AMY SANCETTA,After suspicion fell onto Al Qaeda, the United States responded by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan under the pretext that the Taliban had failed to comply with Washington’s demands to expel Al Qaeda from the country and extradite the terrorist group’s leader, Osama bin Laden. American-led forces overthrew the Kabul-based Taliban government, which had been in control of large parts of the country since 1996.,Bin Laden was eventually killed nearly a decade later, in 2011, by a group of Navy SEALs who raided his compound in Pakistan. As Washington's attempt to impose Western ideas and forms of government on the country increasingly failed and the situation deteriorated for the Western-backed government in Kabul, the Donald Trump administration opened peace talks with the Taliban.,In February 2020, the Donald Trump administration signed an agreement in Doha, Qatar, between the US and the Taliban on drawing down US involvement based on a "reduction in violence." The "Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan" set out a series of commitments from the US and the Taliban regarding troop levels, counterterrorism, and intra-Afghan dialogue seeking to bring about "a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire.",The deal stipulated a deadline of May 1 the next year for all US troops to leave the country.,However, in April 2021, President Joe Biden, just seven months into his presidency, unilaterally deviated from the peace deal by extending the timeframe to September 11 and ordered all troops to withdraw from the country by an end of August 2021 deadline, with his decision triggering chaos and bloodshed.,‘Failed Intel’,As the US military began their pull-out, sending home troops and equipment, the emboldened Taliban proceeded with a lightening-swift onslaught. They took over huge swathes of the country, facing little resistance and picking up weapons and vehicles paid for by the US government which Afghan government troops left behind.,US 'Lost Track' of Afghan War Aims, Says Retired Marine General12 August, 17:00 GMT,Afghan officials, including the country’s president, Ashraf Ghani, fled, as the country’s capital, Kabul, was taken over by the militants on August 15, 2021 in a matter of hours.,None of the US intelligence assessments had predicted such a swift collapse, with American officials insisting in June that Kabul could capitulate within six to 12 months after the start of the withdrawal. Amid reports of failed intel forecasts, then-Pentagon spokesman John Kirby acknowledged that security in some parts of Afghanistan was “certainly deteriorating, and that’s of concern.” Washington continued to emphasize “commitment to the people of Afghanistan” and the goal of “ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorist groups who pose a threat to the US homeland.”,Amid the developments, the Biden administration debated whether to delay the American departure from Bagram Air Base, 35 miles north of Kabul, but eventually opted to go ahead. Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had told the House Armed Services Committee that “it is not necessary for the United States to stay at Bagram for what we’re going to try to do here with Afghanistan.”,Civilians Caught in Crossfire,As the Taliban regained full control, more than 120,000 people, including Afghans and foreigners, were frantically evacuated in a vast airlift operation from Kabul International airport. Thousands of Afghan citizens desperately sought to flee the country in fear of the Islamist group’s return to rule.,Exclusive- A clear video (from other angle) of men falling from C-17.

The bomber was not stopped as Afghans had begun using alternate routes to the gate due to the difficulty of getting through Taliban checkpoints.,In another deadly incident that marred the withdrawal, a botched US drone strike killed 10 civilians - seven of them children - on August 29.,WorldCIA Reportedly Warned US Military of Likely Presence of Children Near Afghan Drone Strike Target 19 September 2021, 08:56 GMT,The US claimed it had been targeting a Daesh operative with a car full of explosives linked to the terrorist group’s affiliate, planning an imminent attack on American forces during the final days of the evacuation. However, the man turned out to be a longtime Afghan aid worker, Zamarai Ahmadi, employed by Nutrition and Education International, a nongovernmental organization focused on food security.,Approximately three weeks after the strike, the military acknowledged its "tragic mistake," yet a subsequent Air Force review around the strike found "no violation of law, including the law of war.",The last US aircraft left Kabul on August 30, 2021.,AfghanistanKirby Under Fire After He 'Takes Issue With Premise' US Handed Afghanistan to 'Terrorist Group'3 August, 09:54 GMT,Joe Biden’s administration faced bipartisan criticism for the Afghan withdrawal.,On August 17, just two days after the fall of Kabul, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan promised the White House would “conduct an extensive hot wash” and “look at every aspect of this from top to bottom.” But it remains unclear when any progress will be made by the congressionally-ordered bipartisan 16-member commission on the 20-year Afghan war, US media reported.,NBC News: Biden Admin Prepping Unified Message on Anniversary of Botched Afghan Withdrawal11 July, 16:09 GMT,The White House is believed to have geared up for congressional investigations into the Afghanistan withdrawal if Republicans win the House or the Senate in November’s midterm elections, according to sources cited in US media reports.,* The Taliban is an organization under UN sanctions over terrorist activities.,**Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.,*** Daesh, also known as ISIS/IS/Islamic State, is a terrorist group banned in Russia.。米倉涼子（50）は243日ぶりに公の場に姿を見せ、活動休止から8カ月が過ぎた元TOKIOの国分太一（51）には新たな動きがありました。今回もいつものメンバーが深掘りします。 リポーター 日本テレビが昨年6月、国分太一に「コンプライアンス上の問題行為」を理由に「ザ！鉄腕！DASH！！」の降板を通告して始まった騒動も一段落となりそうだね。
B | スポニチ本紙デスク 国分と日テレの福田博之社長との対面が実現。社長も「落ち着いた状況になると思う」とコメントした。 週刊誌記者 騒動がもたらした影響は大きかった。国分は仕事を失い活動休止状態。TOKIOも解散した。 ワイドデスク 昨年30周年を迎え、TOKIOの番組として始まった「鉄腕DASH」の存続を危ぶむ声も出ていた。 リポーター そんな中で今月、松岡が自ら降板を発表し、城島が出演継続の意思をそれぞれ表明した。 ワイドデスク 日テレは2人の意向も踏まえて番組継続を改めて明言。オリジナルメンバーは城島のみになってしまった。 本紙デスク 福田社長は「青少年に見てもらいたい番組」と存在意義を主張。決して数字のために続けるのではないという。
C | 確かに自然との共生や地域活性化を広く伝える意味での貢献度は大きい。 週刊誌記者 視聴率が好調というのもあるだろう。 本紙デスク 日テレの日曜は夕方から夜にかけて「笑点」「真相報道バンキシャ！」「鉄腕DASH」「世界の果てまでイッテQ！」「Golden SixTONES」と強力な布陣だ。 ワイドデスク 特に「鉄腕ダッシュ」は午後7時のゴールデン帯の入り口。そこを担える番組は簡単には作れない。
D | 昨年は午後9時枠で長年続いていた「行列のできる相談所」を終了させたばかりで、続けざまに大きな改革もできないだろう。 週刊誌記者 松岡の出演頻度が特別高いわけではなかったことが不幸中の幸いでもあったかな。 リポーター 降板通告された国分、自ら降板表明した松岡、出演継続を決めた城島。元TOKIOの3人は三者三様の異なる道を行くことになった。 本紙デスク 城島にはリーダー、そしてTOKIO最後の1人として番組を背負う覚悟を感じる。設立した個人会社「城島ファーム」の業務内容には農林水産業の振興も含まれ、番組での活動がライフワークになっている部分もありそうだ。 ワイドデスク 番組に出演するSTARTO ENTERTAINMENTのタレントを先輩として見守り導く役割も担いそうだ。 リポーター 「鉄腕DASH」の今後、再集結が期待される元TOKIOの動向、どちらも気になるところだね。
