10:01 am
lemme ah. they took the tiny bomb 10 days to take over the country and emotions are ranging from astonishment to fear of what lies ahead. beyond group is now in control of afghanistan. it's promising a peaceful transfer of power and the inclusive government. for many people are not convinced there's been chaotic scenes that cobble international apple with large crowds of people desperate to get out of the country. but all flights have been cancelled for at least the next few days. without bound to power late on sunday night gathering a cobbles presidential palace. its fighters rolled up the national flag and post pictures. hours earlier president austro vonnie slide for his back. his then i would like to show you miss miller,
10:02 am
her rough mind that we have come to our victory. we'd like to assure our residents names have been given to us. we would like to insure security of the people or the events of sent shock waves around the world, not least in the united states whose military has been in afghan this down for 20 years. and pressure is mounting on politicians to explain how the country fell. so quickly, charlotte bellis is live for us in cobble shaw. let's start with the latest situation that the panic, the scenes of panic, which we were hearing about a car lab pulled up. do people gathering there? have any hope of getting out? the short answer is not now because all the flights have been canceled outside of military flights, just seems of also chaos there. this started last night thousands of people trying to get into the airport. the essentially overran the airport, ending up on the tomic and then clamoring to try to get into any planes that were
10:03 am
on the tom back. now, flights have been canceled. i've just seen a video that shows bodies that people having killed at the airport. it's unclear how they were killed, whether it was in a sam paid or there has been heavy gunfire via but we understand that was mainly to disperse the crowds at the more men at the airport. it is mean to be secured by international forces, predominantly be americans of which there are $6000.00 special horses not in cobble trying to protect the airport, which is where they have all the state depart, purse person. now, not to mention all the other international citizens who are trying to get out on evacuation flights. they have also moved to the airport. just to clarify one point . you mentioned charlotte, when you said there were reports of heavy again gun fire in the app or do we know who was shooting at the airport? that's the problem we don't, we understand us forces are at the airport. i've called them to see if they can
10:04 am
verify whether they were involved in this they're looking into it. it may have just been a poor staff trying to control the crowds. or the taliban themselves is very unclear which party we're shooting to disperse crowds and how this is played out. but it does appear that people have died in this panic. b airport has been the real crisis point of this role of the rolling of the taliban outside of bed. it's been relatively smooth. security for, for the most part just lay down their arms last night about $1000.00 special horses . they called the red units of the taliban rolled into town and took over every checkpoint. in fact, even make new checkpoints and driving to the bureau this morning. they were all over the streets. they say that they have to keep control, but the streets are very quiet. a lot of shots are closed, people are just kind of keeping their heads down, watching, waiting to see how this is going to play out. the taliban as far as the governance goes, well,
10:05 am
they're in the presidential palace. they say that they are transferring or different offices ministries, that type of thing from the government today. and we're fixing a press conference later today where we make it more details on how they plan to run the country on that segue is nicely my next question. how do we know to what extent the tale bomb takeover is complete? at this point we've obviously, as you've said, seen the pictures of them in the presidential palace checkpoints. but what about some of the key ministries? what about police stations? army base is air base is tv, radio stations, all sort of came situations of state i think that's very much in flux today, and it's very kind of case by case basis when the telephone say that they are in the process of taking over all of these ministries from the government, the government perspective at lot of the stuff, the escape they're worried and over sensually, just not gone to work today. and they're saying keeping a low profile. so the telephone really just have the keys and can walk in and start
10:06 am
running things as they wish. all right, thanks so much all about us now basing us on the situation and cobble of pakistan has sealed its border with afghanistan, the impact already being felt there. let's go to come out. hi, they joined us now from the total home crossing. it was the last to be seen by the tale bond total home crossing a very important crossing for both pakistan and afghanistan, and also the people who lives on both sides of that border come all how much of a panic is going on at that border when people discover, hey, they can no longer cross back and forth where there's been a problem of the, of $1.00 bond toward man. that was because they were the new game at door come show the movement of the traffic was effect date and i've called a major logistic good supply line to have one. it's dawn however this morning we
10:07 am
have been seeing avalon trucks late in red, kil, come by, gray and melons have been crossing into buckets on a however, on the buckets on side, the traffic that is supposed to be moving into a running on carrying made poor tray commodities are stuck because of the backlogs and a border closure yesterday. but we are, we believe that the board is now open for goods drawn for day moving. although that is a backlog, as you can see, hundreds of trucks out bogged at the gate of door, come and trying to get a garage because of the long jobs that have been created because of what happened yesterday. but we are getting report that, that situation in july, the bought and the eastern provinces is slowly coming back to normal people coming back to their job. their business says and added that expectation that did the
10:08 am
meeting going on today that probably gets on the prime minister as got a meeting of a cabinet to make the decisions likely that this border will remain all but now, because of the humanitarian prices on forwarding. and car, buddy, so all the signs off that debt is gradual movement across the board. once again. overall, i mean there has been a long history of allegations that pakistan and particularly the i s i intelligence services have good relations if not foster the tommy bon. what of course, focused on this deny that should point out what kind of official position pakistan the official position is evolving towards the new tale. bon control, the afghan. this time very budget on her head all along that whatever the people of ron is, don de guide did really be kept there. but the people ahead and focused on the
10:09 am
government and already stretched that any deal or any p card might be avalon lead of on, on august on recognize the dollar bond when they were rolling up. don, i guess i had no problem with the dollar bond, or don't that have been accurate, asian that, that bug is done is i've been helping them militarily. however, it does not become quite clear that that dollar bond have been able to capture a large amount of weaponry 4 wheel drive i munition and do not need anybody to head as far as the better for the states that concern. so budget on watching that situation by budget don has dealt read the dollar bond in the boss. they were the ones who facilitated the talk between the dollar bond and the medic and the red. so bargain on really be hoping that whatever shape or form the government in god but dig budget on will continue to do business as usual. big gods buckets on that. one is done depend on each other for supplies, for god, for trading, and god being
10:10 am
a landlord country of ron. if don relied heavily on the land roads from john man richard down in the south dad up god said now and this particular white l got it all through the high, but bhaskar door to door shut an order long ago, the men logistical back bone of the us led coalition forces fighting in abundance on. all right, thank you so much. come on. hi de, they're in the coming hours. the un security council is expected to discuss, have gotten the stand diplomat say they've been proposing a drop statement which would threaten sanctions. and the firm that a ton of bond lead government would not be recognized is our diplomatic editor james base. here are the un, they are following the situation extremely closely. the un security council will meet on monday to discuss what's been going on. the very fast moving and fluid situation in afghanistan. i'm told the secretary general antonio terrorist will be
10:11 am
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, 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 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
10:12 am
. s. is going to do after what nearly every diplomat i've spoken to says is a catastrophic foreign policy failure by washington. white house officials have been stunned at the speed of the ta ta bond take over the president. joe biden was at camp david on sunday, getting regular briefings from his national security team. he's been facing criticism for sticking to a plan initiated by his predecessor donald trump. to end the u. s. military mission enough can this time the secretary of state anthony blanket insist the u. s. has achieved its mission enough, gone this time. and he rejects comparisons to the vietnam war when american troops made a chaotic and humiliating exit from saigon in 1975. 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,
10:13 am
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 re emergence 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 mat, vela is a us veteran of the african war and co founder of the non profit organization. no one left behind. he says the biden administration failed to heed repeated warnings on afghanistan. i now know what the non veteran feels like. i know it feels like from my country to betray and fundamental promised that people like me looked, are afghan war time 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 listen to us, i am deeply ashamed of my country. what i am proud of is of my people because
10:14 am
despite of our government's failure, we are still trying to mount the largest evacuation that we can muster. the president of the united states, joe biden, must order the u. s. 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 ask in a more 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 cobbling other cities, the reports from them now or heretic, there are public executions going on in kandahar in the stadium. women have been told that they cannot leave their homes in herat. and in mastery sharif, they're going door to door looking for anybody who worked with the us military, which is by the way, a report that we're hearing city wide, including and cobble still had now just 0. when so many families on the move in afghanistan, we look at how children are doing with so much uncertainty. and malaysia as prime minister has handed in these are sick nation to the king,
10:15 am

10:18 am
the president of bonnie for effective situation has sent shock waves around the world, not least the united states whose military has been enough time for 20 years pressure is mounting on politicians to explain how the country fell so quickly. the people as forced thousands of families to flee their homes. more than half a 1000000 people had already been displaced by conflict this year before the tale bomb took control and speak to sam moult. she's chief of communications, advocacy and civic engagement that unicef joins us from cobble good to have you with us. so 1st of all, let's start with what's happening to all the people who've been displaced. we're hearing that literally 10 cities are popping up in public places and streets and so on. that's right. we've got a grand 400000 people who have been forced from their homes over and over
10:19 am
half of that number or children under the team. so usa is incredibly concerned about what's happening to those children, babies, toddlers, children with disabilities as well as pregnant mothers. lucky, one of the cars are staying with family and friends. many others are walking. they don't know where they're going. they don't know where their next meal is coming from and some are making it to camps. some of the comments are more formal than others. and you said, is there way to be sick supply and healthier nutrition? psycho social protection for children who have witnessed a property given the, the upheaval and the change in pow that's going on. i'm curious to know how is that impacting unit if i able to continue with your operations. so you've
10:20 am
been going to stand for over 65 years. we are staying our message to the people. is it easy to operate? right? no, no, it's not. but we're here, we have presence in all of our teens. are talking to taliban commanders. the tell about us made it clear that the unit stay in country. and what's happening at the moment is that the tell about commanders are talking to our team and talking to their rank and file in the different regions. so that we can ensure safe passage for the units that start out in about and do their work with or like programs to women and children. the taliban has assured us that that will take a couple of days to be fully expect to be up and running again shortly. now that you're dealing with autonomy bomb, can you give us some sense of what your feeling is on how that relationship is
10:21 am
developing? is this the taliban relationship of the 1919? does it look like it's getting any easier to deal with them? just curious to know how easy it is to deal with a lot of on now. sure. it is standard practice around the world for us to work with all parties to conflict when it comes to helping children survive and try. so what i'm talking about it is not new. you'll be working with taliban here in a for a long time. in fact, last december we, we signed a work plan so that we could ensure access to education for all children, including girls. we've been working in areas under their control. for several years . we've been by sneaking children and we've been expanding our education program as well. what i can tell you is that as i said,

it's about one stage they want to deliver the program to their, to their children and to pregnant mothers. and we are having constructive dialogue with them in order to do that. they have shown respect to our competence, all over the country and respect to our staff. so we are having construction with them and we ought to be running shortly. right. how are you? you made it clear that actually perhaps in a sense this is not a whole new scenario for you. you've been dealing with car bon, some of areas they've control for awhile. how easy is it for you particularly to execute programs that deal with women with mothers as well as children? of course i can tell you that 5 minutes before we came on air, i received a graph from one of our stuff in kandahar in the service. i've done with
