ah, ah ah ah ah, he off to sit, he falls to the town abound, which is moving dangerously close to the capital. hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced to escape. afghanistan is in the throes of yes, another k yorkie and desperate champ session. and incredible tragedy for its long suffering people. forgot his spinning of the control. ah,

hello. santa maria here in the world news from the ra, expelled and stranded, the u. s. flies, hundreds of refugees and migrants to mexico who had been left to fend for themselves in a remote part of guatemala homes. once stood, we meet people who survive greece and devastating wildfires, but now left with nothing new crisis from the netherlands to something shortage that could put its hand demik economic recovery at ritz. ah. so i fan security forces of not loss control of more than half the countries provincial capitals. after another day of extraordinary gains by the town and have a look at the map. 6 capitals taken on friday alone, laska god chug hit on the kid and cuts fully alarm call up and can the heart brings a total of 18. kandahar is the spiritual home of the taliban and afghanistan,

2nd largest city. it fell just hours after the 3rd largest at yahoo group now effectively controlled southern afghanistan that the focus it's really on cobble now. just ac kilometers from poli alarm the rapid gains by the taliban and just weeks before u. s. officially, complete withdrawal from afghanistan. washington is however, sending 3000 troops back to speed up. the evacuation of its stuff from the embassy and cobble and the u. k. has asked all its nationals to leave afghanistan immediately from cobbles, the latest with charlotte bellis. and the 2 provincial capitals today, poly alum provincial capital of logo is just to the self of of carbo about an hour drive from cobble, but 65 kilometers. so now they are knocking right on the door of cobbled the telephone, say that the governor actually joined them. how we understand it is that they sent hundreds of spices into the city and this actually,

his compound was sore and he was forced to surrender. it is significant because it has gone these harm province and also because it is just so close to the capital. now it is not the only place that cloud today collapsed, which is the proven to capital valvo that just in the last few hours we've seen video of the valve, the governor being escorted by the telephone out of town. very shortly after that, the taliban took over and claimed it as the 18th provincial capital. to put this into context for you, there's only 34 provinces in the country, so they now have control of more than half the provincial capitals. they hadn't had control of one in about 5 years and managed to do this all within a week. they've picked up in the last 24 hours, 7 provincial capital. and that includes the 2nd and 3rd biggest cities in afghanistan, kansas city in the south, which is the place herat and the west, and also left chicago and home. and so they own a role at the moment. i took telephone contact this morning,

who said even they shot at how quickly they are taking control. well, the un secretary general antenna, good terrace, is called on the taliban to lay down arms and immediately hold the census. on to the magic editor james bay's reports from the un, the sectors general said he believes afghanistan is currently spinning out of control. they're very concerned about some of the figures. for example, 241000 people and now estimated to flood their homes. he's also concerned about possible war crimes. he says the taliban have been targeting particular groups including women and journalists, and he had this message for the taliban. the message from the international community to those on the warp off path must be clear. seizing power through military force is a losing proposition that can only lead to prolonged sepia laws or to the complete isolation of afghan is done. i call on the tale bound to immediately hold your

fancies into the go sheet in good faith. in the interest of god is done and its people, he's urged to return to diplomacy, and those talks in doe harbor has been an important diplomatic development in recent hours, potentially. and that's concerning is now hon. the commander who was leading government forces in western afghanistan who then surrendered to the taliban. he's now being allowed to fly from herat to cobble. and we believe he's carrying a message from the taliban. that message is directed to some of the leaders of what were known as the northern alliance. and it appears that taliban are trying to break them away from the rest of the government in cobble to try and form a transitional government around 400000 to ask and have been forced to leave their home since the beginning of this year. many a sheltering in cobble in overcrowded camps and rubbing bribe reports. the humanitarian crisis is only getting worse on the northern edge of cobble

a fight for bread among people newly arrived at food distribution. the quickly turns into a free for all this open piece of land has become a make shift camp for people who have nowhere else to go and very little for shelter. obama go knock them out, but i don't, i was to go out. that's just, i have 2 children with me. this woman tells us out in the open sun all day, i got new arrivals or encouraged to take buses to temporary camps for internally displaced people or id peas that already exists from previous phases of this decades. long conflict, the makeup of the idp population in kabul reflects the changing states of the conflict beyond the city limits. until relatively recently, most of the i d. p would be from the south escaping the ongoing fighting there. but now that being joined by new comers from the west,

unlike these people from the north, as a conflict spread across the country, book on patch are and his family of 10 have been here for 3 days after fleeing the fighting in the northern province of batler there's master them. yes, howard, are the one i think there is no system here and no shelter. there was nothing from the government and i don't know if we'll get help my them to go fortunate arrivals, confined refugee in the grounds. as this one, there are 37 other people find room with relatives like begging jam and her husband who escaped the southern city of laska dela, that the hand of war tele, there were bombs falling all around my house to the left and to the right. i didn't know what was going on. having worked for both the government and overseas aid organizations, she's afraid she's now a target for the taliban piece and we did out of mind media. hey, i had

a good life there. i was thankful to god. i don't know if i can ever go back. i want this, this is what it is. it's a dilemma facing many from all parts of afghanistan with the one goal of getting to cobble, but not knowing what happens after that. rub mcbride out his era, couple fully unfolding situation and i've got some, it's not just an internal one, it has regional powers looking on closely. and the taliban advance could impact everything from secure he to economic interests. for example, india's ties with, i've got and they strengthened with the u. s. presence there in invested in estimated $3000000000.00, some hundreds of infrastructure projects, road schools, or sorts of things in the future. projects are in the pipeline. park is down shares, it's border with afghan. astonished is among several countries refusing to recognize any government that is imposed with military force. it is pushing for a politically negotiated settlement and of course any impact on pockets on could then impact china's interests. badging is heavily invested in pakistan is an

integral part of the built and road infrastructure projects. ah, so any high that or is that with us now? national and diplomatic affairs, editor of the hindu, to a leading daily in indian scott from new delhi. lovely to have you with us, i must admit india wasn't the 1st place i thought of with regards to afghanistan. tell us just how deep indians investments are there. when he said the investment of centuries and all goodwill, india and the last way, diaz, as you pointed out, has invested about $3000000000.00. but it's more important where they invested in the big, big highways is on the high read the parliament building a symbol of, of grandson's democracy as well as the big sell my dime and many other check projects for water. i've gone to the so india as a stakes, if you like and have gone, it's gone, has been all building both democracy as well as moving the country to

infrastructure projects as well as a traditional relationship with miss dawn. not with the family bonus board in the i had traditionally also helped with the northern alliance command, as for example, before 2001. i think there's a lot at stake here when it comes to i've gotten it done when it comes to india is going to trying to build a connectivity group that went to it on to java. hard to have going on and central asia road and all of that is in jeopardy. as the alley bon makes, its advances perhaps towards gobble as well. finally, you know, the big, why do you really is for the valuable to be empowered by my phone is going to me. she was on govern spaces for an team, the groups as well. and that is a big security concern as it is for many of the other neighbors in central asia, particularly spite of possible radicalization. i wonder though,

how much has indeed been able to achieve even just in, let's say the past 5 years or so. because, you know, while we're looking at what the town of dans managed in the last week, the taliban has been taking control of areas for quite some number of years. and i wonder how much india and other regional pals have been able to achieve. actually, if they could have achieved a lot more. absolutely, and the truth is that in the up i had put its eggs in the united states basket. believing that what the us was going to do, it would benefit the region instead of what we're seeing as what looked like a very the pullout job back together. and you can see how, how wrong the efficient backlog of the us now need to send in 3000 in order to pull out all it from taco bell. i'm so i think the, i guess dependence on the united states strategy of all of pulling out i've been

a mistake. i think also that's a continuation of that and go on and get was a part of the last round of the regional talk without the thought you might agree to a cease fire is a huge mistake. the entire international community is making because the thought he bought today has absolutely no reason to, to take that off. we meet anywhere that be patient the read any read just waiting a little bit before going into as well, in the hope that you get legitimacy from the stockton, doha, but all of these ad, not just get by for regional players, as you put it as a mistake and not the least awful pockets on that had allowed the alley bond to grow and, and drive inside focused on stage haven supplies and other kinds of support do this. i live on the all that, all the rules like this coming to our is going to be in the region very. this is what's interesting about pakistan, is that yeah,

it is often accused of of almost assisting the taliban earliest giving it safe passage and safe haven. and yet pakistan is now saying now we want to politically negotiated settlement. and we would refuse to recognize any government that is imposed by force. well, that's just a semantic, frankly, because so many countries, china, us, the region. everyone has said that they will not allow or accept government that takes over by region that takes over by force in kabul. but what have we seen in the last week if the taliban has taken over 17 off 30 for provincial capital in just the last week. what it's actually saying is that the taliban can take over all of this on. and it's just a question of how we take that remains. so i think there is a lot of pressure on the, on the people in go home. we're going to try to ensure that when the therapy barnes comes into, it only comes with

a political 2nd one. but what about what has done already? why hasn't been suspended one taliban continues. it's advances, continue to take a look at pitbulls execution of solar, just brutalization of people. the new value bonds ringing around is very, very anti women and minority rule in all of these problems is why, why, what are the waiting for? if it's just a question of whether the taliban walks in or comes into a power sharing arrangement, or whether it comes into flaws, it will be a more, really good points from. so have me hate out at joining us from new delhi. thank you so much. of the united nations is also calling for an immediate end to violence. in serious sentence that he did are thousands of civilians to fled. fighting between government troops and rebel forces un special invoices. there is a shortage of food, fuel,
