1:02 pm
international partners about how to prevent more instability and violence to an accident. i am not going to allow this imposed worn out nation to lead to more bloodshed and to losing the gains of our last 2 decades and damages to our public goods and infrastructure. because of this, i've carried out widespread comprehensive consultations with representatives of the people and leaders by hand without international partners in the consultation to be in carried out in a speedy manner. meanwhile, just to cobble the taliban has captured another provincial capital, sherona taliban video does appear to show its fights is releasing inmate's from a local prison as they advance people a scrambling for safety. the u. n. is wanting of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. specifically, reports of the taliban, severely restricting the rights of women and girls. let's take a look now at the map of afghanistan. right now. these are all the provincial
1:03 pm
capital. the taliban has taken in little more than 24 hours. they include sherona, as we mentioned in the eastern province of practicum, while there were reports of heavy fighting and missouri sharif, the afghan government, last big stronghold in the north. charlotte, bella joins us live now from cobble. very, very brief televised the dress from strife ghani, just in the last hour or so. charlotte, does it substantially change anything we were expecting something more substantial. there was a lot of conversation about him detailing his future and potentially stepping down . but he did not do that. all he said was a message of reassurance, where he said, you know, i know that you're worried and we are doing our best security forces. we thank you and we're working on getting security forces to work together. but he also said, i'm not going to allow more bloodshed to take place. now, how does he intend to start more bloodshed taking place? that is the big question. we understand there
1:04 pm
a negotiation going on behind the scenes when he says, i'm consulting with local and, and international partners. we understand that essentially translates into how are we going to work together behind the scenes to put a stop to the tele bonds, rapid progress. and we understand those negotiations are ongoing and his future does remain in play. whether or not he will stay on as president and the taliban are pushing incredibly hard to get rid of him. they, they've never wanted to work with him and create a political settlement with him at the home. we know that he, they have st is mal hon who is well know, in figure in western afghanistan who former governor of rock. he was leading the resistance against the taliban in the west. when her raw fell a couple of days ago. he has joined the taliban and then flow into kabul last night . with a message for senior lead is from the taliban, essentially trying to coerce them to join the taliban. so that is one thing that the taliban is doing to undermine ghani. they are also trying to put pressure on
1:05 pm
him militarily. they keep taking these provinces. today's you said shiranda provincial capital of pac tica, that's taken back quite quickly and without much of a fight. and then also war deck is now in play. that is directly west of calvo. i drove there early this week. it was a 45 minute drive. it is not far away at all when we understand the taliban have taken over multiple govern facilities in the provincial capital of maiden shaw, but they have jobs and in our, in somewhat of a holding pattern. charlotte, thanks very much. we'll talk to later. i'm sure charlotte, but it's not correspond reporting like that from the i can capital cobble. let's bring in her room or he, me, assistant professor of law at the american university of afghanistan, he joins us this from istanbul, her room, ready. me welcome to the news out, mr. gone and making some big promises. can he keep them? no, he's not in control. anymore and it's not about prison gunny anymore, it's about making the transition as blood. lastly, as orderly,
1:06 pm
and as swiftly as possible. the fight is at the doors of cobble. i mean, you are reporting show that the cobble is being encircled and the time is not undergo on the government side. the government, the bridge is shrinking and there is heavy fighting and happen. happening in missouri. if missouri falls and if cobble falls under pressure, then there the all hopes for a political settlement, all hope for a publishing agreement will be lost. these are critical moment. these are moments that will turn up on on into chaos. the capital, the home of more than 5000000 people and houses and up until the place people into chaos, lawlessness. and it's going to turn the situation into an organ urban warfare that a cornerstone and cobble in particular experience in the ninety's. or will have orderly transfer a power where people live at least will be se people's property will be let, will be safe. and the future government you have to think we have to have for the
1:07 pm
future. government has to have some sort of list of missy. otherwise, if, if all about get to a military takeover or they can force the government class without a transition, a government in place, then we will have a government that will have come to power by new force. so it will not have international embassy and it would not be seen as in the eyes of athens. so it's just going to prolong this, this cycle of violence and destruction. but at this stage in the game, her room does the idea of the concept of international legitimacy for the taliban, generated by the taliban actually matter to the taliban. because if, if i strife gone, he resigned. jeremy, you and i both know the reality, this afghan presidency never end well, but if he resigns in theory, that should be a circuit breaker in this terrible the process of increasing violence as, as the taliban advance on cobble. but there's no guarantee that that violence would stop if he pulled the plug on his own presidency. absolutely,
1:08 pm
and let's be clear here. no one is advocating that he hands over the government to the taller but the question is the point is that he has to hand it over to a transitional. a curvy that has the credibility to negotiate on the anti, on behalf of anti taliban cap with the column on for some sort of a power train or political settlement. it is absolutely no one is advocating to 100 a hand over the government to the telephone. because if we do that, as you said, there will be nothing left to negotiate war. but if you go to your earlier point, what are the tub and credible internationalism? if you're not, i think it's one of the things they care about. it's not their highest priority taught bonds, one different things at that, they're often contradictory. they want to reimpose their own version of islam, their understanding of it, which is the 8th, which doesn't have a lot of support inside a, on a, on an in the muslim world. but it is what they are after. they also want to be the
1:09 pm
absolute ruler of that part, because remember that will be needed for them to impose their version of islam. and then you can only do that if you are the sole decision maker. so they want all those things, but they also, some of them have the experience of the past time. they were in government and cobble. they basically could not function because they were an international per. this time there is a hope that they would be willing to make some trade off in order to secure some sort of international identity. but i'm personally more for me, it's more important to make sure that it's domestic legitimacy that makes her up on it and remains united unified and peaceful. and that would only come if color bonds are willing to negotiate for a government that is acceptable to all. okay, and i think that will only happen if there is a credible negotiation. negotiating partner any is not that person anymore. okay,
1:10 pm
here's the thing. another day here on al jazeera and we're talking about more winchell capitals having fallen past tense all we think they might be just about to fall, given the taliban apparently, strategic momentum generating advantage that it is capitalizing on. given that does mr. ghani, have a plan that he wants to stick to a plan that can work because the plan to date clearly is not working. i think it's all at this point. it should be all about making the transition to a trudy that can negotiate on behalf of the anti taliban camp. credibly can he's not that person with regard to what his plan is working. he hasn't describe his plan to anyone. he always says, i have a 6 month plan or 2 months plan and it's good. i'm going to change the situation. but if the on the tuition has only turn to for the worst, his reason address as your correspondent explained, didn't clarify anything. he didn't really say anything actually out of confusion
1:11 pm
because there were hope that he would come out and talk about a possible transition resignation and hope there were people who well hoping that that would also mean the fire. that would also mean breathing room for a political deal to be put in place. because as you pointed out, the movement of is such that the time is not on the side of the government. the leverage off the government side, the liberal anti palate ones, but each shrinking, if there is no risk bite, if there is no pause, there is a fear that the dominoes will continue to fall and there will be nothing. and there'll be no one to negotiate for some sort of power sharing, some sort of government that would include different factions inside the, on the phone. okay, we'll have to leave the room really good to get your thoughts on this developing story her and me there talking to us from assemble the un secretary general and so any good cherish says he is cause deeply disturbed by reports coming from areas taken over by the taliban diplomatic editor james bay's reports now from the united
1:12 pm
nations in new york. 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 fled 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 civil war or to the complete isolation of afghan is done. i call on the tale about to immediately halt your fancies and to negotiate in good faith in the interest of afghan. it's done. and it's people. his urge to return to diplomacy. and those talks in doe harbor has
1:13 pm
been an important diplomatic development in recent hours, potentially. and that's concerning is now hon. the commander who was leading government forces in west enough kind of stone who then surrendered to the taliban . he's now been 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 lines. 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. still to come here on the news, sent back to guatemala. the us is criticized the deporting migrants with no right to seek 100000 vacancies. find out why dutch companies are struggling to find staff and in support. a huge boost for the premier league season with the vendor, extending his contract details in sports here on the news ah,
