on al jazeera play an important role checking human. ringback in the news haunting images of desperate off guns trying to escape after an abrupt taliban takeover may have shot the world. but us president joe biden remained defiant and president of the united states america and the buck stops with me. and deeply saddened by the facts we now face when i do not regret my decision in afghanistan, people live under the new reality of taliban rule with their fighters taking over

roads and checkpoint. ah, you're watching all their life from headquarters and hi daddy and obligated also ahead. k t braces for more devastation with a tropical storm looming after an earthquake. less more than 1400 people and orphaned by the pandemic. children and chilly are left on their own with no caregivers or incomes. ah, hello, we begin in afghanistan. that's where millions of people have woken up to another day of taliban rule and chaotic end to america. the longest war. on monday, these were the scenes, harrowing scenes of desperation and chaos. the cabal airport. hundreds of guns ran onto the tarmac some clinging on the wings of

a us military plane. several people fell to their death as it took off. and as the world watched the fall off of gonna stand through the taliban over at the white house, us president joe biden is confronting the biggest crisis of his presidency so far. and his 1st address after the taliban sees capital biden defended his decision to pull our troops and blamed the african government on the military for the crisis from washington. here she hovered. fancy joe biden attempted to keep public opinion focused on a promise kept up to 20 years. the u. s. was finally leaving f honest on i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years, i've learned the hard way that there was never a good time withdraw us forces. but neither the president or any administration official has been able to address the chaotic matter of that withdrawal. despite biden's proclamation that the buck stopped with him,

he lashed out both of the africa military and the african political leadership that fled even saying the u. s. i wanted to evacuate more people earlier, but was stopped by couple. i know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating atkins civilians sooner. part of the answer is some of the afghans did not want to leave earlier. still hopeful for their country. important because the afghan government and his supporters discouraged us him organizing a mass exodus to avoid triggering, as they said, a crisis of confidence at the pentagon officials insisted that they had role played every eventuality. they wouldn't be drawn whether that included such as swift taliban takeover, or whether such a possibility had been communicated to the president. plans are not always perfectly predictive and you as is well known military maximum, that plans don't often survive 1st contact and you have to adjust in real time.

depending on says, it expects the $2500.00 us troops and cobble at the airport to be supplemented within 24 hours. but up to a 1000 more and says, an apple operations have resumed. in addition, the u. s. has more than $700.00 africans who were eligible for special immigration . visa had left the country over 48 hours, bringing the total to almost 2000. the president's opponents have been swift to deliver a withering commentary. honestly, ministration looks to me like i couldn't organize a 2 car funeral and maybe it's not too late. i hope god, for the present to put enough troops in around cobble to at least get out all the americans. and as many of the afghans as possible who are our friends, who are interpreters, who were lot on home, we were a lot all of age years. it is a sad day, but the united states of america. however, when pressed mcconnell,

as with many others in washington, suggested his favor option was a permanent military presence and i've kind of stung which would be against the wishes of a majority of americans. biden administration appears to be hoping that eventually the chaos of the last few days will be forgotten. and instead, the president will be seen as the commander in chief who finally brought america's longest war to an end, jabber times the al jazeera washington. well, it's not just gonna stop which is coming to terms of the taliban in couple countries around. the landlocked nation are also concerned and they're cautious. the taliban has taken control of all border crossings with neighboring pakistan. that's what can hide or is joining us from. he's standing by a tour, come to tell us what's happening there. but 1st over to cobble charlotte bell is joining us and there is charlotte. so what is the scene right now at the airport? or just got off the phone with the head of the civil aviation authority. he says that no flights are taking off and weren't be taking off today. as despite some

conversations that military flights would restock. but he's saying no, everything will remain grounded for today. no evacuation flights commercially or with military aircraft. we understand he says that some of the terminals have been damaged in the chaos yesterday. although he also said that the know people on the tarmac, these images from yesterday just showed how completely out of hand the situation got when thousands of people overwhelmed the airport. when president ghani slade late on sunday afternoon, no. basically all the security slade, the security forces army police just walked off the job and allowed all these people to flood into the airport. desperate to try to get on flights out as they realized that the country was, well, the afghan government was crumbling. and since then, it's just been heretic saves, especially as the us has it has desperately tried to get people out of which they

have thousands of people waiting on the other side of the year for where they have a base trying to be me out. a military aircraft and they couldn't because they were too many people on the tom x, some even clinging on to the plains, climbing onto the wings of the sea. 7 tains desperate for a way out. i was actually watching over the airport yesterday or on someone's balcony. to try and get a better view of what was happening and i could see us apache helicopters buzzing, the tom back just a few meters off the ground with the roses coming towards the people trying to scare them off the runway. this is how desperate they were to try and get these flights up and out of out of afghanistan, because the taliban has the airport in circles. i mean the taliban yesterday we're actually working with the americans to try to do crowd control basically shooting into the trying to disperse crowds even tried to help americans into the base, into the airport to try to get them out. but they couldn't manage it either. they

were just so many thousands of people desperate for a way out of here. yeah. pretty desperate scenes from that airport. charlotte, but you know, obviously events have been moving very quickly. but are we getting a sense now of how the taliban actually plan on running the country since they're effectively in control? that waking up this morning today to under taliban control in cobble and grace ref, dennis don, and we still don't know who is elidah, how they plan to govern what this structure is going to be. i was told this morning by telephone context. that whole module head, which is the main communication spokesperson, will be holding a press conference today. they said he would be holding it yesterday. it appears to be delayed. that will be today. now, no one has ever seen his face. he's only repaired an audio clips with his face blurred. sir, it will be very interesting for them to finally reveal themselves after being in

hiding for so long and to get a better idea of how they plan to govern. we understand that someone within the telephone is political office, his name is amir. han, more techie. now he has come to cobble and mixed with the former ceo of dillard de la and former ask, i'm president harman, cause i need cooling talks. but when the taliban do hold all the cards, so we'll say want an air of legitimacy to be seen to be incorporating form of government. paypal essentially looks to be like they're negotiating positions for them and, and incorporating them to a certain extent, but still not negotiating full force because the telephone run the shore. now, thank you so much. charlotte bellis reporting from kabul less. i'll bring and come hider, he's joining us from the tour. com crossing and pakistan come all that is where that crossing in particular has been seized by the taliban in the past. and tell us what it's like there now, and what you're seeing where just to give you an

idea yesterday we were on the line that there why the country we thought dollar bond bite armed and all so manning the position that that border scene was quite relax. people were relieved because before that, before the dollar bond to go, these people had to pay huge bribes just to be able to get their truck into one s dawn. there was a backlog of drug because there was a momentary closure of the border. but as you can see, there traffic is moving today, the pedestrians that crossing that border bordered now open. and of course, that would be a big relief for the people in our run. it's done because we've been mentioning time. and again, how important this logistical supply line to the high but bought through door come 84 of one is gone. and in terms of the diplomacy,

i suppose on the political front with pakistan. how was pakistan planning on dealing with the taliban? now that it's effectively in power and i've gone, it's done well as far as budget on this concerned days beginning to see some more men on the political level. because just 2 days ago, a senior of our delegation. these are gone, lead game to pockets on the crucial role is crucial. did include a general bonnie: the form of foreign minister of honors, don, the son of profess up or a 100 dean. rub bonnie, a close ally of amateur much showed ama charge my food brother, while mom also and his law, my boss unit connie, the head of the parliament, and also a stock market, who is the leader of the community. and i've wanted on their head and buckets on

budget, on their shore, them that that dollar bond will take them on board simply because they have the power to have not run away from the winery on like the president. they have read over that area and budget on one that includes the government with the dollar bond that you represent all the minority days, all the major political groups and leaders read one. there's don so quite considered, but it development deb august. i need obviously putting the leadership started in buckets on in touch with the taliban leadership and the taliban of control. so really much aware of the fact that they can't get this wrong. there is an opportunity for be share. they will have to accept in their clue, have a government which represent all the minority and all the political faction of all this done all the days because read out that they can not have any success and running honest on. thank you so much. come on,

hides are reporting from the sun. i've gone border one, the diplomatic front, the united nations security guard to hold an emergency meeting on august on the secretary general. and when you're good terrorist called on the taliban to respect human rights and offer amnesty. and he said he's particularly concerned about the rights of women and girls. the international community must be united and utilized all available instruments to ensure the following. first, we must speak with one voice to oppose human rights. enough, god is done. i call upon the taliban and all parties to respect and protect international humanitarian law and rights and freedoms. of all persons receiving killing reports of c, v, 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 feared to return to the darkest days or diplomatic editor, james, those reports on what else emerged from that meeting. the statement calls for

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 they're calling for fresh negotiations, an african lead process leading to a new inclusive government. now will the taliban accept that? and what leverage to the security council have of the taliban? certainly with her to from the ambassador of pakistan. he wasn't invited to the security council meeting, became a brief reporters and many a chrome 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 and 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 bring in other figures america's major european allies who are part of the u. s. late lead nato operation. and update on this don, have express shaka and concern about the events in couple. many of them are scrambling to evacuate their own stuff and national. so i know a kenneth, this is an absolutely bitter development. bitter for the many africans that very active along the way. better efforts were obviously not strong enough. it takes a lot more time than we thought we weren't gonna stop for 20 years. and in this time,

it did not work. so we have to say that our efforts were not successful and stuff love again. you don't know what the who does not get this done, cannot become again the century for terrorism. that it was, it is a concern for international peace and stability against a common enemy with terrorism and those who supported with regard to this, we will do everything of russia. the united states and europe can call right efficiently. because our interests are the same. still ahead on al jazeera, scorched earth from siberia to morocco will have an update on some of the world's most serious wildfire. ah. hello a great to see you here, sir. whether story for the middle east. we are dealing with a sham all. when coming down from iraq impacting the gulf states to wait and cats are so that means that the sand and dust is whirling around. but this is

the hello. done. the top stories on al jazeera this hour, their work, he ought to teams at the capital airport, which forced the temporary suspension of evacuation flight. thousands of people rushed onto the tarmac on monday, desperate to escape taliban rule. because president joe biden has strongly defended his decision to pull our troops saying in endless military deployments has no solution. deal to set that us troops should not be expected to fight when the forces were unwilling to do so themselves. or for off guns, both at home or abroad. the pace of the taliban stake over has been shocking. many outside the country say they feel helpless and anxious for their loved ones at home . these pictures show some of the desperate moments of people doing anything they can to leave the country. the u. s. had resumed operations briefly to evacuate. people hundreds have already flown out with all flights have now been suspended for

the day in washington, there was an emotional exchange between an afghan journalist and the pentagon spokesman, missouri creamy, broke down a. she asked about the whereabouts of her president and questioned the future for women in her country. i'm very upset because i've got women that didn't expect that overnight all the time, but they do come from i like this is why it's like they put this luck with my president, former president jenny. people expected that by the people. nobody here to pentagon is happy about the images that we've seen coming out in the last few days. and we're all mindful of, of the kind of governance governance that the taliban is capable of. so heartfelt respect to what you're going through and we, we understand that

a lot of us have spent time enough canister. and in general mentioned that everything that you're seeing in the last 4872 hours is personal for everybody here at the pentagon. and again, i'm, i'm sorry for your pain. i truly truly am. and i know that the general gary share that as well. meanwhile, on the streets of cobble, or taliban fighters, patrolling the streets or the new normal, i'll just here is rub, mcbride is there and sent this report on 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 most our customers because most of the got the situation for now. it's not, no one can say what's happening at all. the people are 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 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 idea that we are from the soil? we don't want to get it done 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

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 previous taliban government being at least crime free for the most part. they bought me was everybody will be nobody's kid, bobby could not to gather 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 their way forward into their new reality. robert bride al jazeera, cobble. heavy rains are lashing parts of haiti, and there are reports of flooding in some areas that have already been hit by saturdays, devastating earthquake. more than 1400 people have died, rescue teams are searching for survivors. john holman,

america editor lucito newman reports. whenever this model has been home and back but a so which one? happy one that was before the entire fabric. theodore family. port coven, 19 last year. first the grandparents would put into intensive care. then the ambulance came for 40 year old karen for utah, a paramedic mother of 3 and the main caretaker, a young, the hooky. yes you are. that was, she told me she was going to die, that she knew it because she worked in the hospital with me. as many chilion households, there is no father in this story. helen was 20 for 23 days. she cared for her 5 year old brother, 15 year old sister, and then one night they called to say that my mother wasn't doing well. and at 545, she fainted and she died last minute. they were left to own their own. all 3

thousands of young people who have lost one or both parents does not seem to be the government's priority right now. congress is to be giving to discuss in orphans pension, but experts say an all inclusive program on a case by case basis is necessary that include psychological care for the children and relatives who can hopefully care for them and guarantees that children won't be separated. how's it possible that one and a half years into the panoramic? we hadn't seen this crude reality before. thousands of children had lost their loved ones, not just in chile, but in the entire world. the fabric children are lucky to at least have their elderly grandparents were still recovering from the virus. but until now, no government agency has knocked on their door to offer help to see human al jazeera vibration.
