near cobbled international airport, they were, they seemed to panic. in desperation is thousands of people scrambled to try to get out. a pentagon officials said us president joe biden authorized and all the $1000.00 us troops to go chicago to evacuate the thousands of us and afghan civilians. germany is one of the latest countries to send in plains as well to evacuate citizens from the capital will get a live update from campbell shortly. first, this report from charlotte villas. after 20 years, it was a hostile departure for the united states from its cargo embassy. as the telephone reached, the city limits helicopters very staff to cobble international airport. those who remained bern sensitive documents or black hawks and apache helicopters, circled the capital monitoring for telephone fighters on the ground as they released heat flip over the green zone president ash connie was recording

what would be his final statement. he and his co team fleet, the country shortly after it was there is a clear need that the national director of security alongside the police and i've gone army, take responsibility for the security of all citizens. i have asked the difference minister and into the minister to convey that message. anyone who disturbing the law in order or things 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 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, st. this message to its fighters smith land ref monterey. congratulations to your room, but no one should enter. 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 tele bonzai whose was seen driving around on motor bikes and pickup trucks and humvees greasing the people the afghanistan from terry and 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 and rest assured that will not be any problem and cobble but after the tele bonds rapid march across that going to stone, that was not a chance to your waste or it would seem president gunning, was willing to take a little after i said, in the morning and cobbled right now here is charlotte bell is for an update. first of all, charlotte. well done. yes. today. terrific job on a extraordinary fast moving situation and keeping us all up to date with that. and now 24 hours later. what's changed? everything's changed in one sense, but how's life in cobble? well, it's very quiet. surprisingly the telephone st in 1000 of the special forces units, i call them red units overnight and driving here this morning. they are in control

of every checkpoints. they have set up additional checkpoints, the dozens of taliban with guns over the shoulders in police vehicles in africa and government vehicles patrolling the street. in fact, in the lobby in the hotel this morning, 3 of them walked past me with machine guns and said good morning. and then carried on sir ad that i turned to the receptionist. god smacks, and he said, what can we do their government? no, sir. everybody in cobbled seems to be compliant that and, and faith old and this new reality that the taliban are now in control of afghanistan. we don't really understand how the government will work with or course use will. those pictures of them and the presidential palace last night touring touring the palace itself. now that gandhi and his team have fled, they put out a tweet this morning saying that none of the members have permission to enter

anybody's house. they also said that embassies institutions, for nationals can feel safe, they are protected, they can have full confidence in that, as far as the us goes with, with their evacuations. right now, we understand that all embassy stuff have been evacuated from the embassy behind me . they were all ferried out last night and yesterday and there at the airport. and initially the u. s. heads had provided $3000.00 special horses to protect them and that evacuation plan that 122-5000 with the a b c. s today. and it's 6000 this morning, they're all at the international airport now. safeguarding that area they, that they will have all the stuff out in the coming days along with africa and national were actually working at the embassy. and they say that accelerating the process for interpreters who had worked for them. okay. i think it's worth going back. charlotte, to that point which you made in which the person in your hotel night about the

taliban being the quote unquote governments. it will be fascinating to see how this plays out. want it 20 years after the taliban lost all that kind of sun and when they pretty much just ruled it by islamic laura and what they interpreted of the of the of the koran. now in 2021, will they be a structured government when they say that they're the taliban to point or that they're more progressive that they're more inclusive time will tell. but certainly this morning, they seem very at home in the 5 star hotel that i was in. and they, they have taken the security situation quite seriously. they say that they have st, all the special horses units in chicago, and they wanted to do what they told me. they wanted to do that immediately to prevent loosing and, and ocoee and they kind of power that to me that had been created by god. he's exit

and they say that protecting the citizens was the number one priority. obviously a good opportunity for them to get in before any international plays could prevent them. but they, at the chick points and the city is quiet. there's not that many people on the streets, but they do seem fully in control and, and that seems like confection as normal here this morning. extraordinary times enough dentist on charlotte bellis bringing us all those developments from cobble. thank you. now later, monday you and security council will meet to discuss the situation. second, your general antenna terrace has urged the taliban to protect the lives of afghans . a diplomatic in the james space reports on what to expect. here are the un, they are following the situation extremely closely. 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 u. n. are not evacuating at this stage untold un stuff, or confined to the bases, they are not going anywhere. they're not carrying 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 the to thomas greenfield. the u. s. representative of the security council trying to explain the u. s. his position right now and what the u . s. is going to do after what nearly every different matter i've spoken to says is a catastrophic foreign policy failure by washington. the rest of the days news is

coming up, has periods presidential new recently taken office is already facing protest calling for his resignation. and engineers use young victims. the country struggles to contain one of the worst run of ours outbreaks in the world. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello there for the middle east and live and it remains very hot and dry picture. however, temperatures have come down slightly across iraq am to 8, and that's thanks to a small wind that's blowing down and kicking up quite a bit of dust for q weight for guitar and parts of saudi arabia. so we are seeing some hazy sunshine temperatures dipping down over the next few days. we've also got

a bit of a wind kicking into the western parts of saudi arabia, bringing temperatures down here. and the south westerly wind blowing across coastal areas of oman and yemen with a few showers across the mountainous region in the west. and those join up with the heavy showers that we're seeing across the central band of africa. they are looking pretty heavy across parts of ethiopia, but much of those heavy thunderstorms we're going to find in nigeria and nija. we are expecting more flooding as those rains pick up, especially around areas of cameroon. come tuesday, no further south. the wet weather can be found in mozambique, edging into eastern parts of zimbabwe before south africa does dry up. they'll be sunshine the cape town on monday. but as we go to choose day, the wet weather is on the way by the time we get into wednesday, we'll see plenty of showers. sponsor, cut on airways in 2011,

just the reported from tanzania on the sinister trade in the body parts of l. b. this is where i'm seeing that they put it right here and on the spot rewind, revisit system. i then mutilated to service the rituals of witchcraft when the crash to rewind spell of l. b. no, on our 0. ah, the me this is al jazeera, the latest development for you from f going to start with the taliban has taken over the presidential palace in the capital campbell checking the control of most

of the country. in fact, in a quick offensive, the group said that once a peaceful transfer of power and an open, inclusive islamic government, president and chef got him involved fled the country. they will also chaotic things that couples international airport, as others try to leave as well. us and other countries still have both of their evacuating their citizens and africans who supported them. will you spend nearly 20 years and get this done 1st to defeat the taliban? and then offensively, to build up a country that could stand against it alone. the groups rapid to take over though has been called a foreign policy failure by washington. but secretary said antony, blinking since his country is actually achieved its mission. and he rejects comparisons to the vietnam war when us troops were driven out of saigon and 975 of 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 a lot to justice 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 many the events in cobble are unexpected out come to america, the longest war and what appears to be a very chaotic end. petty calhoun looks back at 2 decades of us boots on the ground and the several presidents who sent them there. most people will likely remember why it started off the wire. all of a sudden, a demand that held in turnover of some good norton and alco 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 taliban 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 in afghan stan, 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 law 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 group 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 talent 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. 2 decades of war and still questions of what was one amid so much that was law. pettengill hain alpha 0 washington once to have a listen to mat vella now who is a us veteran of the afghan war and co founder of a group called no one left behind. it's a nonprofit organization. he was really passionate about this. when he spoke to us

and said, president biden just could have done so much more to avoid the scenes before on sunday. i now know what the non veteran feels like. i know it feels like from my country to betray a fundamental promise that people like me looked or ask in wartime allies in the i and made. we have been trying to warn the, by the ministration about this coming disaster for months. and no one listened to us there, the islamic emerald of afghans. dan now has more black hawk helicopters than a $166.00 nations on the planet taliban. 2 point, oh is going to be show much worse than the taliban. of the ninety's, and they were the ones who help alti to perpetrate 911. this is a disaster of epic proportions. and that's not even taking into account now the hundreds of thousands of afghans who are going to be hunted down and systematically murdered by the taliban because they supported our efforts there for the last 20 years. i am deeply ashamed of my country. what i am proud of, of my people,

because despite of our government's failure, we are still trying to mount the largest evacuation that we can muster. the president, the united states, joe biden, must order the us military. that is now uncommon to secure the airport entirely. we then must open up a secure corridor so that we can begin evacuating our afghan and war time allies out of afghanistan. not just from cob, but from every city where they still reside there over 44000 who are on the outside of cobble. in other cities, the reports from them now are heretic. there are public executions going on in kandahar and stadium. women have been told that they cannot leave their homes in herat and in mastery sharif their going door to door looking for anybody who worked with the u. s military, which is by the way, a report that we're hearing city wide, including and cobble well, there's plenty of other world news to get to haiti, for example, where rescue teams are racing to search for survivors off the saturdays, devastating earthquake. and now a tropical storm is heading towards the country as well. so far, almost 1300 people are confirmed dead after the magnitude 7.2 quake 1000 more are

injured, hospitals overwhelmed? some patients even being treated now. so in the open and adding to their concerns, tropical depression grace, which is 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 quarrels and come to the 8 of those in difficulty. the last time we spoke to after meal and economist and professor at the u. k. university in puerto prince, who thinks hating needs strong leadership to ensure the country is better prepared for future disasters from very can to to, to earthquake. and in those corners, the me very difficult. we, i mean the haitian people really need to break and why we think is good time for us to really when you know better leadership, you know,

people back can really make good planning and also raise a wireless. and then in the preparedness of the country, you know, you can prove with those exhaustive who happen, but needs to prepare that that can help you to minimize the damage even before the disaster the economy was, was terrible actually to using the roll was negative, becoming to grow and was around 40 percent of the population in fort insecurity. lack of jobs and other people leave the country be leaving the country for the last 2 years. because of the games 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 many quickness firms that are going to build capacity, trend people, and then give them the resources created to type business, give love, i couldn't, we got to be that could be different than be an opposition at later. how can the hitch illema has defeated incumbent and good luck grew in the presidential election? the electoral commission announced the results after delays in vote counting how to tulsa has more from the soccer. well, president elect again. de lame, i want an out ride majority more than 50 percent of the vote, which means they will be in no run off. most people who voted were 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 is it basically was about the economy. the tide by the poor said 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 as high date and also to tackle issues such as corruption. president langley 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 with 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 parties low restricted in 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 stag with the car to me. try and secure a lot from the i may try to lay of the fear of investors who want the money, the, the loan that has to pay back tonight than being thousands of people of march through the streets of lima. demanding the resignation of paris newly elected president pedro castillo as anger for some of his new cabinet appointments. as monday and sanchez report. well, there's growing discontent among many peruvians here. they do not want to give him the president of the benefit of the doubt. he's been over, do we know they are angry because they say there are people investigated in silverman for apology for terrorism and corruption? and that is my duty changed because i think, you know, we are against the government because it doesn't represent us. they've links to

terrorists and we don't want terrorists or communists in the country. well, i think the have not made any signals that he will change his a prime minister, who is being investigated for apologies for terrorism exemptions are likely to rise of the cabinet, gets ready to go to congress. confident. i'm going to say that when the legislative will seriously begin to clash, his attitude is not correct. or if we would do things right, we would give him more time. but one day he says, one thing that changes any can't be the only one deciding all future. many moderates make making mistakes. slowly, sending the message. the private property will be respected, concerned about the currency, to waited, and have met the provincial government to the people who need most help in the country. now the approach never want to see only worth nothing

last week and recreate it from the presidency. corona, virus, news, and engineers. you're struggling with one of the worst outbreaks in the world. and it is increasingly taking a toll on children. more than a 1000 of them have died of a 70 percent in the past 2 months as the delta variance searches across the country . jessica washington reports now from tundra in indonesia 2nd regency. yet another young life has been lost to cope with 19 funeral workers had come to take his cousin to the cemetery. inside is the body of a 2 month old baby. her name was maria. she died in hospital almost 3 hours from her family's home. now her parents have returned to their village approval. we came back here from the hospital because our child, if dad and i live on all, they have other memories of maria, they don't even have

a photo of their daughter. i stay at home and rest because i'm always thinking about my daughter who died. as indonesia covered crisis continues, even the youngest have not been spared. and in many parts of the country, children may also be suffering from a 2nd disease or medical condition which heightens the risk of something or amount nutrition will have an impact on a child immune system. so if they get infected, it's likely to hit them harder. a slow vaccination dr. outside major cities is also putting young people in danger. as many children contracts the virus from family members, people said children not affect that. and then good day. but right now we have a lot of children died. as the delta variant continues to spread across indonesia won't, children are falling ill each day. every week,

hundreds of entities and children die from cove at 19 most so under the age of 5 does increases. so to just demand for small child size fields for the country, young victim of the pandemic to beta soon cannot believe her grand daughter shall over is gone. she was just 4 years old. she was kind and cute. everyone liked her. i'm sad. she left me behind. i still want to take care of her with god decided otherwise. i shall never, never got the chance to ride her new bike, hers like thousands around the country was childhood, cut short by the pandemic. jessica washington out 0 tongue room. ah.
