. the veteran commander of a militia in western afghanistan is my account, known as the line of her ox was taken as taliban. far as the fight to seize the city. con is one of afghanistan's most prominent warlords battling soviet, occupies in the 19 eighties and working with us. forces the top of the taliban in 2001, shall. a bellis is life for us now from cobble. so charlotte, a very fluid situation with the fighting was what more can you tell us? you just think 16 provincial capital for them to the taliban. and just the last week we may have one more to add to that, just in the last few hours, the telephone say that they have claimed only a law, which is the provincial capital of logo, which is just south of cow who they say that they have control of the city and that the governor and his immediate staff have joined the movement. they do add,

however, that there is some heavy fighting still in the city with visual forces. but they say they have claimed it. we can all independently verify that the reason is we spoke to said there has been very heavy fighting there this morning. now it is quite interesting because this governor that has, if it is true that he has, which he would not be the 1st, there have been many reports of governors doing deals with the taliban in order to get safe passage and main. essentially the cities fooling without a fight that happened just yesterday. you got the where we heard that the taliban and the governor had done a deal. and then he was seen to be supported by the taliban. a through taliban territory and was arrested when he reached ultimate territory for quote, surrendering without a fight. not laga is especially significant because it is directly south of cobb. it is right on the board with cobble to go from cobbled to poly alarm. it's about an hour drive 65 kilometers. so the tell bonn now really knocking on the door of

the capital, putting pressure on the government, and they have been had to try meet him in the last week. 16 provincial capitals to put that into context. they hadn't managed to get a secure provincial capital in 5 years. now. 16 and one week and 6 in the last 24 hours. and these are not insignificant places we're talking can the 2nd biggest city in the country, the birthplace of the taliban? they have wanted that, that for 20 years, the biggest city and i scanned a son also left in home and so they are getting a lot of big scopes. and now the government is a really, really difficult position. and then with the capture of smell con, this is a leader who as we mentioned, goes back to the 1918 when the soviets, when afghanistan, pretty significant development that as well. yeah, he's very well no. and then he has been essentially the face of the resistance for the government in the west, in herat. he was the former governor there,

and some people might say that he would go to ward if you will. he has a huge face in herat and he had been meeting the push back for the government trying to keep the telephone out of the city, even though he wasn't formally part of the government. and he had his own kind of local uprising movement. they were on the him, funding him working with him to keep the telephone out. now, this morning after her out. yesterday he has been captured. he was captured alongside the deputy and perio minister. you'll catch it alongside the governor of herat and various other senior leaders been shortly after we saw a video filmed by the telephone, but of his mouth han, and he said the telephone should have good behavior with people every one to the side by side. and i hope all brothers should make peace to finish this war. he was being seen in his home and seemingly released by the taliban. they put out a statement saying that they had indeed freeze the senior people they had captured because these people had joined the movement and they had assured them of security

and a dignified life. interesting turn of events this morning that these people, particularly as mal ha, who had fought the taliban for decades, including just in recent days, he was on the front lines fighting the telephone, getting amnesty, seemingly now from them. charlotte bellis live 1st in cobble? ivy u. k. defense secretary says britain may be back in afghanistan if the taliban allowed on groups like al qaeda to threaten the west again. more now from andrew simmons in london. been well, as the defense minister has been quite outspoken, it's probably the most sharpest of reactions to the u. s. pull out, and the subsequent pull out of the u. k, which britain says it has to do in light of what the u. s. has decided now ben wallace has said he went public at the time in february last year. when donald

trump to then u. s. president signed the deal with the taliban to actually agreement to withdraw us troops around this time in 2021. and now while i said that was a mistake, and it really gives rise to the possibility of the return of al qaeda. this is what he had to say. and the tell about to have a message from last time you start hasting, i'll call you to your cell packing the west or countries or that we could be back. now this all comes of $600.00 troops deployed. these are extra deployment to get people out of afghanistan, that you can citizens, a large contingent of embassy staff. now coming out and also former african workers who with the british military in as translators and other roles. now this is an action taking place as
