2:04 pm
of the city at this point. whether or not it stays like that with the government. now planning this offensive try to retake it. we'll have to wait and see. the government is very concerned. we with the interior minister this morning and he had to rush off for an emergency meeting with the defense minister. he's been going to see president ghani marshall dalston, who is a leader in the province of jose, john, he had an emergency meeting with president connie. this morning as well, so very concerning times for the government was not wanting to see 2 provincial capital for a matter of 2 days. and a provincial capital has not fallen and i've got some, some condos, which was 2015 now, 2 and 2 days. the tell about defiant that they do have full control of the city. they put out a statement earlier and they beg say that they will try to retain it regardless of whether the government says that it is going to get it back in the province. that the taliban so guess today of numerals they took the provincial capital. there's the raj,
2:05 pm
the taliban had managed to hold onto that province the government to replace the police chief and that they are going to see them reinforcements and take it. but the telephone seems to have a very good hold on that. now. in other cities around the country heavy fights and continues kansas city, her ross lush car, got all of those places, special horses deployed, it strikes going on and the civilian casualties amounting show that this is a sort of big picture question. and maybe a little obvious, but it's just happening so fast. even if you were to take out these 2 cities in 2 days leading up to now the taliban urgency has moved up so much since the u. s. and nature tricks began withdrawn in date. yes, since you, as president biden announced in april, that trips would be out by september. that's when this, this kind of game, these games from the telephone has been made me back. been they had ac districts of afghanistan's approximately 400. now they have more than $200.00,
2:06 pm
