3:01 am
comes out is off to scenes. a couple that are shocked. the world is flung desperately to the side of us, played in all the news, struggles with the aftermath of an adequate chasm. major storm approaches ah, has been another day, a fast moving and dramatic development in afghanistan and as a taliban consolidate the hold on the ask capitol that have been scenes of chaos. a couple international airport. it is now the only part of the capital that isn't under taliban control. and thousands of afghans have fled or tried to flee their desperate to get out of the country. in one instance, people clung to the outside of a u. s. military plane, as it ready for take off, several people fell to that death once it was born. us president joe biden called
3:02 am
the pictures from cobbled gut wrenching but defended his decision to withdraw american forces from the country. we gave them every tool they could need. we pay their salaries provided for the maintenance of their force, something the tale bon doesn't have tale bon, does not have an air force. we provide a close air support. we gave them every chance, determine their own future. we could not provide them. was the will to fight for that future with some very brave and capable afghans, special forces, units, and soldiers of afghanistan is unable to mount any real resistance of the tale bond . now, there is no chance that one year, one more year, 5 more years or 20 more years,
3:03 am
the us military boots in the ground would have made any difference on president biden blame the government of the outgoing president. sharp ghani for failing to make peace with the taliban. and he promised that the us soldiers their will work to secure the airport. i taught us general have held talks with taliban representatives here in joe hall. as being to our correspondence, she had thompson, who was my 1st in washington dc, a very defined speech that from biden, how's it gone down? if the opinion polls prior to the biden's speech, to be believe that that message that we just heard. there's never a good time with withdrawal, how to withdraw, how long can we carry on being part of this? well, that should have gone down very well and clearly about the that's the strategy that the white house was taking a big chunk about, about opening segment of the speech was, we just have to go ok. it's messy. we were taken by surprise by how quickly cobble
3:04 am
fell, but we had to leave, if not now, than when the gut wrenching. but you want us to stay. and that is a very post message as far as we can tell for the american public at large. but still a biting or the state department or the parent again or national security council have really addressed the fundamental intelligence failure that led the administration to be taken by surprise. by how swiftly the taliban swept through. i've got us out. i got into into calvo. it's interesting in the last few hours, i'm beginning to see more rumblings from the beltway d c commentary. out about accountability. we have very often, but should that be something accountability? now it's true. we have to get to the us, have to get out. this is all in commerce the us have to get out, but shouldn't it have been a lot better? and we're seeing now, i think is being pointed obviously button when most of the thing is out, africa and politicians of the africa military. but now a single thing is being pointed, i think it's in the national security council that advises biden and in the state
3:05 am
department that were handling those visa applications for thousands of afghans and their families who need to get out if a fear of taliban retribution we're seeing more rumblings going about direction, which is which is rather interesting and actually there was one report which suggested the positive, the read. the recriminations are based on whether the bite administration had been frightened to allow a large influx of african refugees in the country when they're already under far over immigration from right wing elements in the u. s. of these sorts of stories start gaining ground and it's going to be very, very bad for the bite administration. and the people who are in charge of making decisions to try and get people out as soon as possible. because still, it's very clear how a thousands about guns to bite administration says it will. it will evacuate, how that can actually be achieved. indeed, and we will seen those desperate pictures at the airports in cobble people trying to escape. did we get any more clarity on how they're going to be removed from the
3:06 am
country, but obliquely and directly? because there was a pentagon briefing shortly after the bio ministration, the bite and speech which did actually have some actual information in it. not just, well, you know, war is messy. so, but the gist of that there was $2500.00 troops. have it in cobble for in the last 72 hours. expect that to be, be increased by about a 1000 perhaps within the next by the next 24 hours, least by the end of monday and $700.00 special immigration visa applicants have not left in the last 48 hours, bringing the total number to 2000 but then when you ask, pretty obvious questions as to how them bose afghans who are not already at the airport or even in the embassy. if they're around that kind of stuff, there are cobble even. how are they now going to be rescued if you have $6000.00 troops who can barely handle the perimeter of the horse and cobbler?
3:07 am
couple them, you know, how is that going to be achieved? and that we're not really hearing any terribly concrete answers about many things so that she can see that 1st in washington dc. while emotions in afghanistan are ranging from astonishment to fear of what lies ahead on the streets of the capital on taliban fighters. now a regular fight al jazeera is rob mcbride has mall not from couple me the city of cobble has experience so much upheaval for decades. and this is another change to get used to. and one that's far from easy to go. most of all of our customers because most of the got the situation for now. no one can say what's happening at all. the people just lost and confused. in the space of one romantic day, life on the streets feels completely different. this is one of the most obvious signs of the transformation that taken place in literally overnight. the whole of the
3:08 am
center of cobbled is protected by these 45 checkpoint concrete blocks, various normally gods carrying automatic weapons and armor humvees with heavy machine guns. on this morning nothing. the people have been getting used to the novelty of a new force in charge. the subject of intense curiosity. as taliban take up checkpoint duties on the roads of a child to know yet i don't know the law or whatever used to fear us. they've now seen them. would you d and we are from the soil. i don't want to get down to be destroyed, but there's widespread nervousness about what this view taliban rule will look like on. many businesses and shops remain closed that the raw signs of life returning to normal ammonia. if this piece, then everyone will benefit the businesses of the workers. there are deep rooted
3:09 am
fears about the erosion of basic frights, in particular for women and girls, despite assurances from the taliban, and about to return to cruel punishments for certain crimes. but many still remember life under the preview taliban government being at least crime free for the most part of the modem with what everybody will be saying. nobody's kid will be kidnapped again around with a sudden collapse of the african government. the people have cobbled and new leaders have been thrown together faster than any had expected. now get together that feeling that way forward into their new reality. robert bride al jazeera, cobble. and it's, i'll leave in as a senior research fellow, the quincy institute for responsible state croft. he told me earlier that countries can use aid as a waiting cars. the taliban to protect rights, particularly for women, was clearly a tremendous failure of intelligence. but then, you know,
3:10 am
i include my cell phone that ever be expected this, this government to stagger on for a few months. at least, you know, giving time for a more orderly evacuation. it's been an open secret that some pull the, the western embassies and age organizations would either pack up completely or reduce enormously in the month to come. but they thought that they had months turned out. they only had days, you know, most to have kind of some is and has always been a very conservative place with, unfortunately very oppressive traditions. as far as women are concerned. of course, for middle class women, this is risks being a terrible step backward. i mean, i think the answer is that the only way of taping taliban behavior is to is through aid. and also to make
3:11 am
clear to make clear to the taliban that continues to international age, at least from the west, depends on them, respecting certain women's rights as the rights of ethnic minorities. and also telling the taliban and hoping they understand that if they want to create, to recreate some kind of working african states, which it does seem that some of them do, they will need more than educated people to do that. and they're not going to keep not an educated people in cargo. if they behaved the way they did, you know, but up to 2001 the united nations security council held another emergency meeting on afghanistan, the secretary general. and when you get that is call them the taliban to respect human rights and offer amnesty that he's particularly concerned about the violation of the rights of women and girls. the international community must be united and
3:12 am
utilized all available instruments to ensure the following. first, we must speak with one voice to oppose human rights in afghanistan. i call upon the tale abandoned all parties to respect and protect international humanitarian law and the rights and freedoms of all persons. receiving chilling reports of severe restrictions on human rights throughout the country. and i am particularly concerned by accounts of mounting human rights violations against the women and girls of afghanistan, who fear to return to the darkest days of the planet to get us a james base has more from the un. the statement calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, but it also calls for talks for, to reach and let me quote, a new government that is united, inclusive and representative, including the full equal a meaningful participation of women. so their calling for fresh negotiations, an african lead process leading to
3:13 am
a new inclusive government. now will the taliban accept that? and what leverage do the security council have of the taliban? certainly we heard to from the ambassador of pakistan. he wasn't invited to the security council meeting, but he came in brief reporters and many a crumb told us that he believes that the taliban are talking about some sort of inclusive government. and he thinks that that is definitely a possibility. what is clear is that there are some of the key political leaders who were allied with the government in cobble, who are still that. i think the only leverage that the international community has of the taliban right now is the whole issue of recognition at the meeting of the security council. the african ambassador was the ambassador that was appointed by the government that no longer exists. the taliban, i'm sure would like to have the seat of the united nations and be recognized by all the countries of the world that i think is the only thing the international community have to try and convince the taliban to broaden government governance and
