2:01 pm
killed officer alarm, just quick hit the west the capital. and we continued to follow the harrowing journey of migrants sent from the u. s. to mexico defense for themselves. ah, it's just after 1100 hours gmc and you're watching our continuing coverage of the breaking news from afghanistan as it stands right now. holler bon fight this surround the capital. cobble negotiations are on the way to secure a transfer of power. atalla bomb delegation has been speaking with afghan officials . the situation on the ground is changing fast and has intensified during the past couple of hours with more and more provincial councils falling to autonomy bomb. well, in the statement the taliban says he doesn't want to end to cobble by force. it's told is fine, is to wait on the outskirts of the city and not to enter the taliban statement.
2:02 pm
also called for safe passage to be given to anyone wanting to leave and for women to head to what it called, protected areas. foreign embassies have continued evacuating their staff with helicopter, seen going between those buildings in the airport. us diplomatic visuals have now started working from cobble airport. while nato says several e u stuff have moved to a safer undisclosed location in the capital. shallow ballast joins us now live from cobble. so charlotte, bring us up to speed. first of all, with a situation in the ground is some kind of tense, but peaceful stand off holding on the outskirts of cobble we believe. so yes, the ministry of interior tells us that they have put troops around the outskirts of the city and that they are working with international horses to secure the city trying to reassure citizens. the taliban will not try to enter the city by 4th. at
2:03 pm
least today now they are being held off by the fact that negotiations are ongoing. and i understand now as we've tried to speak with various government ministers, they say that we are inside the palace at the moment finalizing a transition plan. we understand that the former president calls i intends to take, would have a transition plan. they come up with 2 doors and presented to mila barret, who is a tele bonds, political chief, where he will either accept or not accept it. on behalf of the movement, the government's really against the wall here they have very little leverage left. the city is in circles, the taliban have picked up the provinces overnight, directly to the east, and cut them off from pocket on through talk and crossing the cutoff. cut them off from the west by taking board at providence and they took loda logo just to the south on friday. so they are fully surrounded. and now the taliban has taken districts within cobble province and
2:04 pm
a knocking at the gates of cobble. now as far as us forces go, because the embassy right behind me has been fearing itself out. today with some speed as this is taking place is as the taliban has started knocking on the doors of cobble, we have seen many, many helicopters flying, ferrying people from the embassy to the airport. their wish shots fired earlier. heavy prints is coming from us government buildings. they burn documents as the helicopters have been to land of the embassy various approaches they have laid off what we understand to be he lives which are usually used for grounds, missed to stop grounds massage oils. so that certainly taking precautions as they come in is the security situation deteriorates in the city. basically, charlotte, when it comes to political talks, is the question that the world is looking at. whether there is
2:05 pm
a transitional sort of a broad base government that takes over or whether it's a simple surrender to autonomy bomb. well, i think it depends who you end up speaking to as far as the telephone concerned, they have all the cards and potentially they throw some crumbs to the government, least from that from the perspective. that's how it's going to play in order for them to get some type of international legitimacy. they are threatening, essentially, if they don't get what they want, they will into cobble by force. and the government doesn't really have many cars left to play. they still have the special horses in the city, but the president ghani remained this transition plan. i understand he does not have a role to play, so his future is looking bleak at least politically. all right, thanks so much, charlotte balance fair now. so hale shaheen is the international media spokesman for the taliban. he says 5, his have taken most cities around the capital,
2:06 pm
but have not entered cobble. so far. our forces have not entered the carbon city. and we just issued a statement saying that our forces will not enter the city, or we are talking and waiting peaceful transfer. i transition awful capital city. so, and also there will be spatial, i didn't mean for the maintenance of security of the city. so that personal property and i got a borman installation offices are not hot and the 4th, if they have going that we see they have stopped the fighting and they have joined and all probably says in all majority of the problems that. 1 they have joined. 1 forces and they have handed or they come with the weapons and it would have thing
2:07 pm
and they are their name. 1 just that so the proper steps will be taken the improved job for how they will be embedded in the government. the people were coming to us in all, no provincial centers will, our reports is inter so it is a popular uprising and all the prob, probably in his order with us. so they should understand the know the ground realities and the set in the to submit themselves well of the people. so that is the will of the people, the people there will be a mentor which will be acceptable to all. i think that up to him to come with tangible proposal suggestion which will be a way from piece for transport praise for transfer. 1 power water and also
2:08 pm
to how do would be the comfort in the mix. the future kind of stands, interior minister has delivered a statement, assuring the people of cobble, the city will remain safe because there are no appeal. it is, as the interior minister, i am assuring you that all security forces, including special forces, have been prepared to ensure security and order and cobbled people should not be worried. the city is secure. anyone who is going to create disorder in the city will be dealt with strongly. the security of the city is guaranteed and it is not going to be attacked. the agreement is that there is going to be a peaceful transfer of power to a transitional government. the security of the city is our responsibility. we will stand strongly do not be influenced by any propaganda. everything is normal as security and defense forces are on stands by to ensure stability and order. the
2:09 pm
residents should not be worried. couple is safe, rest assured there will not be any problem in cobble. how do raimie is an assistant professor of law at the american university of afghanistan. he joins us on skype via, from a stumble, i should say, thanks for joining us. so i'm sure you had there, the afghan minister of interior shoring people. cobble is safe. but the reality is, is it not cobble is surrounded by thought. bon, the main artery for supply from total home to july about to couple is in the hands of the tale bond. this is ready. and now account down on the life of the afghan government, is it not? absolutely, and i think everyone has to work to avoid of worst case scenario. a worst case scenario could be that there will be open war for him. you reported was talking about how government is still has forces. i don't know how loyal court is going to be seeing that what they see and even seeing their leaders talking about
2:10 pm
traditional government, how they're going to be fight for a government that is not going to invest in matters of ours. if not in matters, are they not ours? but if they do engage with a taller bond, then it's going to be an urban war for catastrophe. many to be a lot of people are living under st. it now. you have to realize they're out of control displays. people who just fled to cobble, cannot even go to other possibility would be another bad situation would be that the call may crumble with then mean there are many bad actors in cobble. they ward are people who have gone people who have a lot of assets, they would like it is a lot of people worried about the future. the people who have gotten people who are powers, they are organized, forces that i'm sure there are many people would like to exploit the piggyback and how much the up on national security board will hold in the face of basically a cloth of the government. that's a question mark,
2:11 pm
i mean the prime minister and the ministry into it can see what they want, but will soldiers actually a state and opposed knowing that in matters of hours or days there will be no government. even the ones that are going to be seen voted of soldiers be executed up on the sender. so they are naturally, i mean, there are understandably afraid. i think the situation is they tend, requires immediate and immediate attention. that situation must be handled as soon as possible. and it does solution is political, is really no military solution. i mean all about and should not, and should not inter cobbled militarily because if they do then the results would be disaster. lack of possibly lack of domestic timothy. the will be taken over par with military force the same way that many taliban the belt saw the new government . the cars are in 2001 taking power to the us military invention. they thought that the government and call it because it came to probably trinity forth. a lot of people may see to talk about take over power if they choose to do it military the
2:12 pm
same way and maybe create an insurgency that would bring up the moment they get. some of the lines now coming from taliban officials are along the lines of things like hey, the media will be allowed to criticize whoever it wants when will be allowed to leave home alone. well, how do you think? you know, has the, has the power gone really developed and evolved since with autobahn of the ninety's? that's an incredibly hard question to answer. and i think the answer is, we don't know. i mean color, but you have the money that have had very, very track recording area, the control some areas the committed atrocities. they have restrict woman's rights and they have punished and harassed woman. the other places where the treatment be much more humane. so i think we don't, i don't know, for example, in iraq university where i used to teach the students yesterday was told that they
2:13 pm
should just go home and wait for a decision to be made as to whether they will be able to return to study or not the fema faculties were told the same thing to go home and will let you know, but it's a lot of unknown. and i think what to tell about, did it be controlled in the past? that is one thing because it was basically a be centralized motor government. now the going to be a central government, they have the pronouncements on matters of policy. hopefully they will come to clarify the issue and days before they have been be able to hold countries contradictory views often. and they have been able to shy away from responsibility by calling just calling to propaganda. modified call it using the law basically avoid responsibility. but if they take over or become the dominant force, it's going to have to 1st of all have or mac nonsense, that hopefully gonna clear things up and prevent the uniform of answer to the country. and at the same time, it cannot hold the contradictory pushes anymore,
2:14 pm
it has to clarify the use on what it means to be in the stomach state and be committed to show. yeah. and also the think i'm respect human rights and women right. great way to reconcile them, but i have not been able to actually answer those questions. often. they just, it's not the thing that is going to be going to show you. as you know, there are the opinions. there are many views with the bi scholars of slavic law, and many of these issues have the basic if they become to control government, if they become a domino or they will not be. and i would just like one would say, i don't know if people are trying to flee the country because they believe it on are what they used to be in the ninety's or worse. so quiet by these issues are extremely important to actually hotel. this big are those up refugee because many people, i mean, remember the area about control it to the city are pretty safe right now. what will you talk to? i mean, there are reports of some abuses or generally there's no wapping on early on. there
2:15 pm
was a war, but now they know what, but if the people want to sleep, it tells you that people are afraid of the future that they want to leave. and the future is unknown and they are basically broken up what i did in the past, and there is a control and the conclusion that what the future will hold the sooner the future becomes clarified. the sooner we have a stability problem. and jim government and the government and come up may make or more pronouncing the expense on our, on these many issues. i think we can call conduct nation down. we can get back to some sort of normal hopefully. all right, thank you so much for your analysis. on that now still ahead on al jazeera, the young victims of indonesia is pandemic. has the country struggle to contain one of the worst kind of virus outbreaks in the world? ah, ah,
