which is the main communication spokes person 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 some of them within the telephone political office, his name is amir. han most techie, now he has come to cobble and met with the former ceo of dillard villa and former, asking the prison common cause i was calling talks. but when the taliban do hold all the cards. so whilst they want an air of legitimacy to be seen, to be incorporating form of government, people 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 taliban run the shore. now,
10:04 am
meanwhile, on the streets of cobbled taliban fighters have been patrolling how deserts rob mcbride is there with this report the city of cobble has experience so much up here 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 get 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 that one dramatic day life on the streets feels completely different. states is one of the most obvious signs of the transformation that taken place in literally over night. the whole of the center of cobbled is protected by these 45 checkpoint concrete blocks, various normally guards 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
10:05 am
checkpoint, duties on the roads of a child to know yet i don't know the law or whatever used to fear us. they have now seen them. would you? hi, dean 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 . many base decisions shops remain closed that the raw signs of life returning to normal money. how about if this piece then everyone will benefit the businesses of the workers? there are deep rooted fears about the erosion of basic rights 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. one of the vote on me was evil. everybody will be saying nobody's
10:06 am
kid will be kidnapped to get around with the, with a sudden collapse of the afghan government, the people of cobble, the 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. as the world watched, the fall of us can stand to the taliban. the white house president joe biden is confronting the biggest crisis of his presidency in his 1st address. after the taliban seized cobble biden defended his decision to pull out troops and blame the afghan government and military for the crisis from washington. history have returned. c. joe biden attempted to keep public opinion focused on a promise kept up to 20 years. the u. s. was finally leaving galveston. i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years, i've learned the hard way that there was never
10:07 am
a good time to 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. it 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 supporters discouraged us some organizing the 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 a swift taliban takeover or whether such
10:08 am
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. well, 2000 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 not, but the president put in 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, but on home we were
10:09 am
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 favorite option was a permanent military presence enough kind of stone 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 the longest war to an ends. jabber times the al jazeera washington. that spring and now come on hyde from the home crossing in pakistan along the border with us kind of stand come all the reporting on the rush of people at cobble laugh or trying to get out of afghanistan. always seeing that similar kind of scene of people trying to flee across the land border where you are, which of course has a very different ethnic and political make comp cobble.
10:10 am
absolutely and helen point because you have to understand that most of the contiguous provinces, that border buckets on all the way from hell mon kunda are coming down to linger harcourt, but the corner i predominantly pushed to where the dollar bought and have a lot of support the people are not panic, gang, there is, you mean the business said that you draw. and although there were there that these people were, that people will be coming in large numbers across the land border refugees. none of that happened. you don't key the panic. primarily because the push stones have supported that dollar bond redoubt that support they will not have won the war. and however, and car where you have people who are helping the medic and they will be seen by the dollar barn and the boss as enemies collaborating with the enemy. however, the dollar barton have announced that now nifty saying there will be no retribution
10:11 am
. so indeed, the situation quite calm on the board as far as the bargain on is concerned. however, there is a caution word of caution that if that situation and spread it out of control if the piece deal is not reached. and if that is fighting order to have a war like duration, which local increasingly more now, then you would be seeing people across the border. but for the moment it's business as usual. and come out. what do we know about pocket playing some kind of role in mediation between the tale bomb and some of the leaders from other ethnic african groups wipe. august, thornton had made a concerted effort to try to get through to most of the gun leadership. now, just to give you an idea and much, much showed what day leading commander of the northern alliance had brought,
10:12 am
the wily, he gets on shore is allowed to draw. bonny. that's done. no professor, a bonnet aloud. what a foreign minister represents the j. i knew that strong board and by duck sean, also the minority community represented by austin, mark gay gay that president dod. now they came to pockets and buckets on that and reached out to the dollar bond saying that it includes the government was indeed a priority. the dollar bought an old church saying that they will not be running the show alone until day. what a great deal of hope. because days i've gotten leaders had come to budget on budget on playing a crucial role in trying to convince the dollar bond that it is important for to include have government leaders who have power and respective areas. and that of course will be a huge development. sure. it's not just doom and gloom. there is a rail, the whole bucket thought it's drying ready,
10:13 am
hard. but of course the owner of responsibility will be on these run leaders to ensure that an opportunity for beef is not lost. all right, thanks so much. come on. hi, the reporting from the afghan pakistan border. and on the diplomatic front, the un security council is held in emergency meeting on the scanner. stan sexy, general tony, good tatters called on the tale bond to respect human rights and offer an amnesty. diplomatic editor james bass has more, and that's 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 their calling for fresh negotiations, an african lead process leading to a new inclusive government. now will the taliban accept that? and what leverage do the security council have of the taliban? certainly we heard 2 from the ambassador of pakistan. he wasn't invited to the
10:14 am
security council meeting, became 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 bring in other figures fill ahead an al jazeera, the fighting in know the muslim big top of the agenda and regional leaders need and
