industrial. danny taliban says it is committed to a peaceful transition of power and is open to talks to form what it calls an open, inclusive islamic government. so say pledge to respect the rights of women as long as they wear his job or the below him. and upon the miss miller, her rough manners, we have come to our victory. we'd like to assure our residents names have been given to us. we would like to ensure the security of the people. and this was the thing, while only a few hours beforehand president sharp ghani at his desk, then he later fled the country. flying to neighboring is becca stone. in a statement gone, he said he left to spare the country, further bloodshed, and put the onus of protecting. i've got this done onto the taliban. near cobbled international airport, they've been seen to panic, and desperation is thousands of people scrambled to get out of the country. i pentagon official says us president joe biden has authorized another 1000 us troops

to head that to capital to evacuate. the thousands of us an african civilian germany is one of the latest countries to send in plains as well to evacuate citizens from the capital. ok, let's bring this all together starting our coverage with this report from charlotte bellis in couple. after 20 years, it was a hostile departure for the united states from its cobble embassy. as the telephone reached, the city limits helicopters very staff to cobble international airport, those who remained bern sensitive documents. while black hawks and apache helicopters circled the capital monitoring for telephone fighters on the ground as they released players over the green zone president, our trust connie was recording what would be his final statement. he and his core team slate the country shortly after. that was, there is

a clear need that the national director of security alongside the police and the gun army take responsibility for the security of all citizens. i have asked a difference minister and into the minister to convey that message. anyone who disturbing the law and order of looting should be confronted with full force before gone lift. cobble. the afghan government had been negotiating with the taliban for a political settlement, but its leverage had weakened with every loss on the battlefield. way in just 9 days. the telephone took control of every major city except cobble, by sunday morning, its fight who surrounded the capital, holding districts inside cobble province. so it is a popular uprising and all the prob, probably his order with us. so they should understand and know the ground realities and the set in the to submit to the will of the people. there will be

a government which will be acceptable to all as the telephone prison still around the outskirts of cobble beyond groups. military commission sent this message to its fighters. smith, landra, monterey. congratulations your room, but no one should into cobble. you do not have permission to enter. if someone enters, you cannot plead ignorance. yet by sunset, the taliban flag was raised inside. cobbled city tell a bonfire whose was seen driving around on motor bikes and pickup trucks and humvees greasing the people the afghanistan from terry ministry carried on. undeterred, stating it remains in charge of the city security. 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 do not be influenced by any propaganda. couple is safe,

rest assured that will not be any problem and cobbled yet. but after the tele bonds rapid march across afghan stone, that was not a chance for us. or it would seem. president ghani, was willing to take charlotte bellis al jazeera cobble. as we've been here in the us and other countries in our racing to evacuate the diplomatic stuff from washington, his mike hanner on the latest on those evacuation. well, the state department spokesman that prices just denounced that all personnel have been evacuated from the embassy in couple. he says that they are now at the couple international airport and that us troops have secured the perimeter of that airport . now, earlier the state department said that the american citizens and those who worked for the americans will be evacuated over the next 48 hours a. not the 1000 troops on the way from the 2nd airborne that will increase the

number of us troops around that airport to some 6000. now, in addition to that, there's also some full 1000 troops who are now stationed in kuwait. as a quick reaction force should more reinforcements be needed to conduct the evacuation state. department says, as well is that american citizens who have been living in couple will be evacuated as long with embassy stuff. and as i mentioned, those afghans who's been working for american forces, they, many of them will go to cutter, where a, another 1000 us soldiers have been deployed to process the single immigrant pieces . so the process, according to state department, is one that will take over the next 2 days would appear 24 to 48 hours. all the operations being protected by the us troops stationed around the international airport. and even with all that chaos, the us secretary state antony blank and says his country has achieved its mission

in afghanistan. he also rejects comparison to the vietnam war. when us troops are driven out of fi gone, and $975.00. as the city was captured by the north vietnamese, let's take a step back. this is manifestly not saigon. the fact the matter is this. we went to afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission in mind, and that was the deal with the people who attacked us on 911. and that mission has been successful. we brought in loudon to just a decade ago, our k to the group that attacked us has been vastly diminished. its capacity to attack us again from afghanistan has been right now does not exist. and we're going to make sure that we keep in place in the region, the capacity, the forces necessary to see any reemergence of the terrorist threat and to be able to deal with it. so in terms of what we set out to do and f canister and we've done it, but for so many, the events of campbell are an unexpected outcome to america's longest war. and what appears to be at scale to again, petticoat looks back now at 20 years of us boots on the ground and the several

presence presidents who sent them there. most people will likely remember why it started not the arrow of a demand that held in turnover, osama bin laden and al qaeda unanswered a few weeks later, the a mess of bombing campaign, along with a small force of around $1000.00 special forces, soldiers and agents combined with the northern alliance in afghanistan, and the telephone fell within months. the u. s. along with its allies turned to nation building with big promises of lessons learned. we know this from not only intelligence, but from the history of military conflict and they can't stand. it's been one of initial success followed by long years of floundering an

ultimate failure. we're not gonna repeat that mistake critic say that's exactly what happened as the us turned more attention to the war in iraq. the us announced an end to major combat operations in afghanistan in 2003. a constitution was written elections followed, a new president, new legislature with women taking positions of power. but as the years past cracks from the coalition and as detailed and fall back and civilian casualties mounted along that of the armed forces, opinion turned, a new us president had to make a decision, go bigger or go home. or overarching goal remains the same us president brock obama decided to send an additional $17000.00 troops. then 30000 more by 2010. around 100000 us troops would be enough. ghana stands in may of 2011. some of the lawn was found and killed in pakistan, but the war continued. obama promised,

bring most us troops home by the end of 2016. and then a new us president took over. a hasty withdraw. would create a vacuum. the terrorists, including ices and al qaeda, would instantly fail. president trump announced an open ended deployment, but eventually signed a deal with the taliban. if they promised to keep out terrorist groups and not attack us troops a full withdraw. what happened by may of 2021, but then yet another new us president was sworn in, and president joe biden decided to keep the deal and leave only a small true presence. he said the child would not immediately take over. he was wrong, sunday and more than $5000.00 troops too hastily evacuate the embassy. now growing questions of what will happen to the women and girls of afghan stand, 20 years of bloodshed and battles, of promises and unimaginable pain of encouraging signs and set back to deck of

war. and still questions of what was won amid so much that was lost pettigrew hain alpha 0, washington. the rest of the days news is coming up. harry's president, well, only recently took office, but there are already processed calling for his resignation. and indonesia, young victims struggles in time. one of the worst corona virus outbreaks in the world. ah hello there. july was the hottest month on record across the world, according to us scientists. and for north america. much of that heat has continued into august, but temperatures haven't been as high as we saw them last month. but on monday, for those north western states, we are going to see temperature fit in the mid thirty's before they dip down on

tuesday. and as welcome, wet weather on the way for western parts of canada, where wild fires have been raging now was he moved to the east coast is going to be more wet weather, which seems severe storms rolling all the way from the mid atlantic down to the deep south, continuing onto some of those south western states where we have seen flash flooding. but for the really wet weather, we have to look to those gulf states. we've got tropical storm fred, moving in land. it's going to bring some of that really wet and windy weather with it. we could see up to a 150 millimeters of rain fall impacts over florida. now behind that, we've got tropical storm grace. it's moving over his ban, yolande, into the caribbean. we're likely to see some really powerful winds and heavy rains across the dominican republic, an haiti on monday as it moves its way towards cuba on tuesday. and we'll keep an eye on that storm. that's your update. the

when a military coup overthrew chili's marxist president, one stadiums became prisoners and the hunters sole objective was absolute control. one man publicly refused to accept the dictatorship episode for football rebels. explore the life of carlos casale, the football whose personal stories swayed a vote that altered the history of his country. carlos casserly and the demise of a n day on al jazeera. oh, the me. without just the or the top story of course is afghanistan with the taliban is

taken over the presidential palace and campbell taking control most of the country actually. and i surprisingly quick offensive. the group says that once a peaceful transfer power and an open, inclusive islamic governance, president national. gandhi, meanwhile sled the country. and they were these cale things as well at campbell airport as others tried to leave the u. s. and other nation. so have more of their evacuating the citizen and afghans who have supported them. later on monday, the un security council will meet to discuss the situation in afghanistan, secretary journal, and toner. go cherish, has urged the taliban to protect the lives of africans. diplomatic into the james base reports on what to expect. here are the un, they are following the situation extremely closely. the un security council will meet on monday to says scott, what's been going on the very fast moving and fluid situation in afghanistan. i'm told the secretary general antonio terrorist will be briefing himself the security

council, about what's been happening on the ground, what they understand about the taliban plans and about the security situation as foreign diplomats are leaving from cobble airport, the un on not evacuating at this stage. i'm told that you and staff are confined to the bases. they are not going anywhere. they're not carrying it out, any work, no humanitarian work by the un at this stage. clearly, it will be interesting to hear from all members of the security council. remember, 6 of the 15 security council members had troops in afghanistan at some point. there are other key players to listen to. certainly russia and china will be worth listening to in the security council meeting. and of course, all eyes will be on linda thomas greenfield. the u. s. representative of the security council trying to explain the us his position right now and what the u. s . is going to do after what nearly every diplomat i've spoken to says is

a catastrophic foreign policy failure by washington. right scrapes, i ask cancer face persecution now are in urgent need of evacuation and international protection. one of the most prominent groups at risk is the has daughter, she is extremely vulnerable. recent estimate suggest they make up less than 10 percent of the population. their leaders say, since the 997, the most persecuted community in afghanistan in the past 6 years, at least 1200 has ours were killed in attacks. and many still living in fear. last year. many of them killed an attacks that took place in a maternity ward. and again, 3 months ago to go school in west cobble. most of those attacks are blamed on iso human rights watch says some of those acts of violence could amount to war crimes and say from selim java to human rights. activists from afghanistan says our community is based in sweden because many in the minority group fear what taliban rule will bring. i've been talking to

a lot of people here in sweden to be and also the people inside afghanistan. and there they are totally where the people they have throughout the african history they have been subjected to different types of pursuit, persecution, and massacres. med time after time. it has been during the kingdom, it has been the ring, the, the worst stuff we just started went to talk about to power in 1996 in the late ninety's they, they, they, whenever they got they went to 2 different districts and promised this dentist on they committed genocide off the people. they have been well documented when they went to balmy on after the destruction of the giant who does a bomb. and they started simply killing and massacring the people around things that they did in missouri. so you went up to them and on the vehicle was the governor of taliban in missouri announced that the the hazardous shoot either kind

of word to some nice law me are they will be killed all of them. and then they have the same time they have killed certainly, as they have killed, like when they went into the different pos, stuff, again, it's dancer did indiscriminately killed the because our so our leaders, they believe that it is also a part of ethnic cleansing by, by the ton of onto other news and rescue teams in haiti, erasing to search for survivors off to saturdays, devastating earthquake as a tropical storm barrels towards the country so far. almost 1300 people have been confirmed dead after that. magnitude 7.2 quake thousands more. are injured, hospitals are overwhelmed, some patients have been treated out in the open. and then as we say, adding today or worries tropical depression, grace expected to hit haiti later on monday. really these, i want to tell the population that we are going through a difficult situation. this is the moment to unite to have

a greater national unity a great to solidarity with the victims. let's forget our quarrels and come to the aid of those and difficulty. for a place to welcome ether, a meal to out of there, an economist professor ricky k university on skype. from puerto prince, thank you for your patience. obviously, we had a lot of news from afghanistan to deal with. can i ask 1st of all, you family and friends all ok after the earthquake? yeah. movie. ok, but believe exactly a place where that happened in the south. but so fortunate that they have neighbors who have the homes for and people one day for some people bed very difficult to solve. but i'm fortunate that my parents. okay. okay. glad to hear that i just wanted to, i wanted to check. so been reading an article of yours where you've talked about the earthquake 11 years ago,

2010 and said that have never actually emerged from that and just keep getting i guess, just better down with, with political problems with natural disasters. how does the country keep going? me a call when you look at the last 40 years of history, those 2 elements, natural disaster and political turmoil, affects the lives of the people every day. and that may make it more difficult for the economy to grow. and you know, from, or you can to, to earthquake and those corners to be very difficult for medication. people really need a break and why we think it's time for us to really ring, you know, better leadership, you know, people that can really make good planning. and are so ways a,

why is it in the preparedness of the, of the country can pretty with those of who happen, but she prepare that that can help you to minimize the damage. why do you think, hey, he's been unable to find that strong leadership? it needs often when there are huge natural disasters, all or life changing events like the 2010 earthquake, it is an opportunity for someone to stand up and say, i will leave this country. we will leave this country and yet have, he's not been able to find that of such and i didn't, we didn't learn the lesson from the past. so we ready to make the same mistake again. a different reason, you know, can explain why we can make marriage and get elected like good people with good vision were capacity to leave the country for i mean,

it's related to the level of education. you know, it's very difficult to really make sure that impact great people, when most of the people actually did not well educated, they don't have to know how to, how to choose the best when. and then that's why we will, if we find them, find ourselves in those duration works. the people not aren't, they don't have religion to maybe they don't have the choice of the people most of the time they might have been interested to really change. tell me about the economic impact. enormous, obviously. and again, it goes back to the last earthquake as well, but the fact that they've been all as political instability as well without a functioning government for so long. i can. how can haiti's economy recover from this and actually give people a chance? i mean, even before the disaster, the economy was,

was terrible. actually 2 years in a row was negative becoming growth and was around 40 percent of the population in for insecurity lack of jobs and other people leave the current. been leaving the country for the last 2 years. i because of the game activity. so it's going to be more difficult in the south, but if we, you know, make sure that this time, not only going to do humanity quickly, firms are going to build capacity training people and then give them the resources created to part business. give love, i cover me, got to be that could be practice, that etc. me a pleasure talking to you. thank you for your time and again. glad that you and

your family are safe. my bridget, thank you very much. now the zambian opposition leader. how can i, he chill, nor has defeated the incumbent president edgarland, who in the presidential election. the electro commission announced those results after delays and vote counting partly due to massive turn out. and then complaints about unverified results. hotels has more from the capital, the sucker will president elect have a day to lay my one and out ride majority more than 50 percent of the vote, which means they will be in no run north. most people who voted young people of them is under the age of about 35. and they said this was a protest vote. a protest for hope, a protest for change. it basically was about the economy, the tide by the poor said he kindly, the rising cost of living high inflation, high unemployment. and that's why they chose to change the government. lemme who

the business man has promised to turn around the economy. he's promised to tackle them be of the high date and also to tackle issues such as corruption. president loon good came out a few days ago saying that he felt that the selection was not free and pay at least some of the problems that some of his supporters were intimidated by the opposition . and he said at least one person was killed. and he said that voting was disrupted in areas that were his position strongholds. international observers have said that generally voting was generally lost. the piece for the issue was in the campaign period where they saw that the opposition party will restrict to the campaign and they couldn't access certain areas and they couldn't access the media. so what happens next? people are waiting for the you know, the race and it could be pdc and perhaps in a couple of days and in the real work start for he. my he now has to tackle the
