the uniforms and they driving around with machine guns as they would put it. looking after security there on the checkpoints, monitoring everything and it's quiet, but everything appears to be under control, at least at the airport. that has been the main crisis point in the main taste of whether the telephone can kind of control the capital. they have put dozens of men there. i just went down there short time ago to see what the situation was like. because yesterday there were thousands of people down there and overwhelmed the airport. overwhelmed security and made their way onto the tarmac. and that's why you saw those scenes of them chasing these american flights off the runway. they have managed to gain control again of the airport and the perimeter. we understand that us another $1000.00 us special forces have come in now to protect the us space, which is on the far side of the airport, protect all the for

a new that are trying to get out on these military flights. the been on be where the commercial flights take off from on that side, the telephone controlling it. and they were shooting into the air when i was down there trying to keep people away. you could see a lot of the security post pockmarks with bullets from yesterday where they had been firing to try to scare people. but, but yesterday, hadn't worked today. it seems they have managed to disperse the crowds as far as their overall governance of the capital and also the country. we're not sure yet who is actually in charge and what that person's quoting looks like. what the leadership structure looks like, what they are going to stand for, how conservative they are going bay, when they are ruling this country. although we are expecting a press conference later today from the 9 name is that b hula mujahid, who is the head of communications. he has never been seen in public before. we understand he will front and be able to reveal some more information about what we can expect. how much engagement is going on, sean, i should point to actually, while we're talking,

looking at pictures which came in this morning from the afghan capital. so you can see some people at least coming back on to the streets, how much in gateway is going on in terms of that government formation with some of the leaders of the very powerful ethnic minorities enough this time. well we do understand the go, but they have not yeah, dollar a bill or who the former see are also former president harman cars. i cause i was office confirmed to us that those 3 are intending to travel to doha. to meet with the tele bonds political office, but as it stands, the taliban are in control. as far as the negotiations that were going on between themselves and the government. those have come to an end because there is no government to negotiate with. the taliban are in control, but they also need international legitimacy and i think they are intending to try to fold some of these people in from the government to get themselves more

legitimacy and be seen as being more inclusive by folding these people in. all right, and that was charlotte balice from cobble iran. taliban fighters, now patrolling the streets of cobble. how do you fear is rob mcbride? is that and has 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 cuz most of the got the situation from now it's not. no one can say what's happening at all the people i just lost and confused in the space of one romantic day life on the streets feels completely different. states 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 barriers normally god carrying automatic weapons, and ahmed 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. you know, seen them. would you? hygiene and that 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 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 frights, in particular for women and girls, despite assurances from the taliban and about a return to cruel punishment 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 board on the board the, everybody will be. nobody's kid will be kidnapped again to rent apartment with the with a sudden collapse of the afghan government. the people have cobbled, and new leaders have been thrown together faster than any had expected. now together that feeling that way forward into the new reality. rob mcbride al jazeera couple. well that's the scene in cobble, but there are huge parts of the country where the car bomb do enjoy some support from ethnic groups. the top from border crossing and along the border with pakistan is one such area. it's not seeing a rush of people trying to flee off to reopening as come on either explains most of the contiguous provinces that board up august on all the way from hell mon gummed are coming down the nigger harcourt, buck,

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 with fled. even saying the u. s. a 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. and part of because the afghan government and his supporters discouraged us some 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 a 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,

as with many others in washington, suggested his favorite option was a permanent military presence in afghanistan, which would be against the wishes of a majority of americans buys and ministration 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. on the discipline, i think from the united nations security council held an emergency meeting on afghan. this dan secretary general antonio terrace cold on the tale bound to respect human rights and offer an amnesty. he said he is particularly concerned about the rights of women and girls. the international community must be united and to see lies all available instruments to ensure the following. first, we must speak with one voice to oppose human rights in afghanistan. i call upon the
