[000:00:00;00] ah, al jazeera ever struck. ah, holly bon talks amnesty and says he wants women and the government people are just the life with the group in charge. the i'm sam is a than this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, evacuation slide resume at kava lab for the day off the thousands of people tried to leave the tale bond takeover. but

a different scene along the line border with pakistan populated by ethnic groups. taliban draws some support from make shift, shampoos shattered people. it has quite hit haiti and now facing flash floods, brought on by a tropical storm. ah baton, the bombs trying to ease fears in afghanistan a day off the chaotic scenes of people desperate to get out. the grooves declared an amnesty across the country and is urging women to join the government on the 2nd day of its takeover. murder evacuations have resumed at campbell at fault. on monday, hundreds of africans ran onto the tarmac some clinging to the under carriage of a u. s. c, 17 military plane. the e u is calling for europe to create monetary and corridors to avoid the risk of

refugees attempting the dangerous journey to the region. us president joe biden strongly defended his decision to pulled out his troops, saying an endless military deployment is no solution. he also said american troops should not be expected to fight when i can, forces are unwilling to do so themselves. let's go to cobble now and i correspond, rob mcbride is that so tommy bonn, trying to show a different image to the world. how's that being reflected on the reality of life there and cobble at least yeah, it does seem to be, you know, after the lightning military offensive. this is not quite a charm offensive, but it does seem to be the town talking about being very conscious of how they are perceived and trying to reassure people, reassure every nerve as population. and they can be said really good. read that to me. people remember talking about 20 years ago, we've seen in recent weeks talking about have made these,

these gains across the country that some tell about units in certain provinces they have been accused of, of carrying out atrocities, human rights abuses, war crimes, effectively, things that a number of international organizations have called to be investigated. so you do sense that the taliban wants to distance itself from that it is put out a reassurance that all government employees can return to work without fear of recrimination, which is the fear. we talk about the people like interpreters that people who worked alongside the abilities who've been involved here in the past 2 decades, but also an awful lot of government employees, fear, recriminations. they were considered to be targets of the past. also they, they taliban calling for women to be involved in government. they. 3 there are also been set up these so called amnesty numbers that people, if they are concerned about whether or not they might be targeted or faced reprisals, what they might have done, they can phone special hotline numbers to get reassurance. so it is quite an

interesting not make it work on the streets themselves of cobble this tuesday. this is day 2 of us halliburton room if you like. there has been an increased presence in the number of taliban on the streets. they are far more prominent. and also we do hear from the taliban that you know, they have instructed the taliban fighters that they should respect people's right. they should not go into people's homes without being invited. and they do seem to be very conscious of the way they're perceived and telling that taliban people effectively to behave themselves. but they also are cracking down on a particular crime in the last couple of days with all the confusion that we've seen. that has been this phenomenon where certain criminal gags, it seems, have been disguising or posing them as, as taliban fighters, stopping cars and conducting things like carjackings in the street with the tile about is very conscious of. so what we've been seeing on some of the taliban

checkpoints here is tell about not only checking vehicles generally, but also checking other taliban vehicles to check that they genuine. so it's all part of this the pushed by the taliban to tell. i'm very nervous. cobble that, yes, we are in charge, but you cobble all safe. 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 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. 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 checkpoints. concrete blocks, barriers normally guards carrying automatic weapons and all the 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? i don't want to get down to be destroyed, but there's widespread nervousness about what this do taliban rule will look like. 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 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 of the modem with what everybody will be saying, nobody's kid will be kidnapped again. randall with the, 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 together that feeling their way forward into the new reality. and talking about that new reality when it comes to forming a new government, if you wanted to pick up the phone today, robin called the new president, the leader ahead of states of, of ghana, stan, which we know who to call very good point to be at the highest levels of government, we are seeing diplomatic moves, one figure that is being involved in that goal. but then, heck massey, he is a former warlord here in afghanistan, still a fairly influential figure in africa and politics. he has been putting together

a delegation of former government leaders from afghanistan to present to that the taliban. a wasteful with that folds into any new administration. some of the previous administration. of course there is a strange dynamic here. the taliban really doesn't need to share power with anybody, but i think it is being stressed upon them that to make themselves more acceptable, more of a legitimate government in the eyes of the international community. it would be incumbent. 3 upon them to make some concessions, at least. so we are seeing that at the highest level, just in the day to day running of things, you do get a sense that it's still very much a work in progress. i think the tell about like, everybody else has been caught out by the speed of, of this so many stereo level at the taliban. we, we know will be one thing, one point, their own own ministers and own senior officials that any administration would they need to be idea logically the same as the as the, the administration take go where they need to be tell about,

i think further down the taliban is far more pragmatic, that it realizes it's basically inherited the country and it needs all of the rank and file officials, the civil service. christy, further down to make the place work. and we are hearing anecdotally, examples of that. for example, just up the road from us here, the airport trying to get it back up and running again. you have a terminal that is pretty much wrecked. after several days of chaos there, we understand that some of the officials who were running the terminal until sunday evening, john to the old administration that had jude had to leave among men. i met sold that chaos. they all the same officials that are being called back now to help them get it up and running again. so, you know, they, i think they tell about this pragmatic. another of the signs of that we can see on the street, which is quite significant hearing. cobble the traffic, police, police call that traffic police that you see on the street. they were very distinctive uniform. they are

a part of street life here until now. the taliban is basically been running checkpoints and controlling traffic from today. tuesday we are seeing traffic police back again. that has got a lot of chatter on social media, a lot of cobble residents, the citizens. very reassured to see it's cops back on the street. all right, thanks so much. ron mcbride, bear from cobble hush from muslim, has an independent afghan analyst who's interviewed the taliban and covered the group extensively. he says it's all on has one support amongst some minorities who are frustrated by the governments in action. the most tolerable was surprising to the world to the americans government. and i believe that even it was surprising to talk about themselves. the main reason i believe it's all about managed to capture most of i'm going to say so fast so quickly was that there was

a seismic shift in the opinion of the other minorities towards the polygon, mainly due to the government, corruption in action. the government had all successive governments not going to sell for 20 years under the wing of america did not perform well that did not meet the promises that they gave to people of denison. if you look at the thought on success, it began in northern part of up going to sun, which is absolutely amazing. it is amazing because 1st one, the taller bond emerged in the 1994. they emerged in the heartland of the storms in the southern parts of going to some that was the hotline that was they are based on from did they move on to the north and east and west. and they had a very, pretty tough to fight to capture the northern part of going to the late ninety's. however, despite round the pulp managed to capture the north faster than anyone could expect . and that's because the population in the north, the projects that was mixed on the has on what fed up with the corrupt leaders and

the broken promises. and they shifted towards the polar ball. now there are huge part, so that's kind of stand where the taliban enjoy some supports and certain ethnic groups thought hum, border crossing with focus on is one such place. it has now we open and there's no rush of people trying to flee. come on, hire, explains the man border. crouching red rain, i want it gone. and buckets on the door is now open for business truck. have been traveling and bored direction. there were apprehension that as the talib honored wants across the country, tens of thousands of refugees read for across the board and to budget on. but the ground reality is ready. different people living floated up august on the border all the way from hillman province to noticed on up in the not a mostly pushed to tribe. they have got radical dollar bond. they have cleaned

a dollar bond rule and bought. and what we saw at this border crossing that instead of tens of thousands of on coming across the border, we saw hundreds of ones eager to cross the border and go back to the country. most of the people that we spoke to a half elated and uber learned read the fact that that's on the back and follow they on the other hand, do not degree with the international community. and they see a ray of hope for the last thing of one settlement among norma and forgot that what we welcome to taliban back in africa. it's done as they are the true heroes of the country. and none of them can bring a lasting piece to this water country destroyed by many tumble among which i live with. you can stand in ruins from the last for here. firstly, we were made homeless by russians and then the americans. but thank god, finally we've got freedom from their invasions, we trust the taliban and hope they will bring peace, stability, and progress to this country. while the situation on the border was not returning

back to normal, they were frantic diplomatic effort. you're trying to port the oven later on the same day, but read the dollar bond. the former foreign minister of runners done so loud in, rob, bonnie, it didn't budget on a long way. you're not gone, no need ahead of the bottom and, and auto mall. gig is amongst that group. it presents a minority community. what buckets on, i've been telling the dollar bonds that they've been in their government, which include all the ethnic groups of run. it's done therefore to offer the rail vote for the 1st time and do decades for a long beach for $31.00 conflict. what the budget done is i've been saying to the dollar bond that it has to be an inclusive government dollar bond volter. and now i'm there and said that there will be no retribution, even for those people who've been working with the american that was come on high,

did that well still to come on, i'll just hear why carol estate in india is still stuck in a wave of covered 19 infections, they hit the rest of the country months ago. a quarter of a 1000000 teachers are on strike in shoreline. can they want to be paid on par with others in the public sector? ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello. thank you for tuning in. we're going to start in asia pacific and these flooding radians that have just been hammering the south coast of japan. this is a training friends, so it's just parked itself over here and is bringing out its moisture case in point q to this place on q 364 millimeters, the brain or the past 24 hours. typically for the month of august, a $180.00,

so all of that to say you picked up twice what you should get for a month of august, and this is still persisting here on wednesday queue to chicago honju. the darker the colors, the more intense the rain is. however, we are getting into some dry spells across areas of indo china. heavy rain still lingering toward the south. next, i want to take you to the philippines and still saki conditions, but our heaviest concentration of rain will now be for the southern islands, northwest of devout on wednesday. okay, for the baseband gall look at this. our rain is just being shuffled in here and you know, for the indian states of o disha and tyler gonna that's really where the heaviest frame will be. also heavy falls through northern parts of bangladesh on wednesday, but it is areas as we head toward the northeast that are going to get into the sunshine. so new delhi, a height of $37.00 degrees sponsored power cut on airways. if you are looking at this from the outside,

you would really wonder what was going on, what, what is this growth is a religion that they have an in depth exploration of global capitalism on our obsession with economic growth. this is still the center of capitalism. there is no limits. i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to bake as well as smaller and smaller. we don't want to be so realistic in the world. we would rather have a fantasy growing pay on al jazeera oh. the watching al jazeera time to recap our headlines now. the top, the bond is trying to ease fears enough chemist on 2 days after it took control of

the capital group is declared an amnesty across the country and is urging women to join the government. after monday, scenes of desperation, the situation accomplished for his stabilizing military evacuation flights now assuming 100 the vast can earlier ran onto the tarmac to escape tommy bon rule. as the world watched the fall of afghanistan to the con, the bomb, the us president joe biden defended is decision to pull out troops. he's blaming the afghan government and military for the crisis from washington. his she have return. see, 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 to withdraw us forces. but neither the president or any

administration official has been able to address the chaotic matter of that withdraw. despite biden's proclamation that the buck stopped with him, he lashed out both of the africa and military and the african political leadership that fled even saying the u. s. and wanted to evacuate more people earlier, but was stopped by couple. i know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating africans civilians sooner. part of the answer is some of the afghan 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. there 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 cobbled 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 not, but the president put in enough troops and 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 favorite option was a permanent military presence in afghanistan, which would be against the wishes of a majority of americans by the 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 abroad america's longest war to an ends. jabber times the al jazeera washington survivors, a powerful earthquake in haiti, and now having to cope with a tropical storm. heavy rain lashed, make shift shelters in the southern city of luck. hi, it's one of the worst areas. $1400.00 people are known to have died in san today's quake 1000 more or less homeless. many say best. still waiting for 8th, the government to arrive on monday. the situation is very hard. i have many children and we're in the rain. i don't even have a piece of plastic to cover us to sleep. we are in the rain,

garland used for own declaration. after months of closure. vendors like whole will finally allowed to set up shop, but celebrations have been muted, and demand has been slow because of rising covered 19 infections across this. i got them out of the let me kaufman should decide sometimes allows to open. sometimes they want us to close to poor people like us do. if they ask us to show sharp off to own him, will be great trouble. once praised we're controlling the pandemic, carola has now become the cobra. 1900 hotspot in india. the local government has eased restrictions with the festival, and state police have been deployed to enforcement mandates and prevent crowding. there are rules requiring shoppers to either get a negative bcr test or show proof of vaccination. but shopkeeper said these are hard to implement and affecting business during peak season. the business is really difficult since the band to make started,

we have been forced to shut our shop even when the markets open. the police comes in and we have to request them to let us run our shop. so we can make some money with a high number of infections, experts say carola and india as ne austin in 2nd wave of the pandemic, which could lead to a surge in other states. roughly 9 percent of all indians have been vaccinated across the country list. we see about 60 percent of the population vaccinated and 80 percent em blue red. we cannot really say that india is safe because it's been a large focus back to the population in different parts of india. the liquid actually there are various with this but despite a high vaccination rate care loss, positivity rate is above 15 percent prompting the central government to give more

government won't do anything about it. we will continue our struggle till they do success. if you have agreed that the salary disparity between teachers and other government employees must be address. but the government says he just didn't have to wait for the proper procedure to get the wage hike. probably, maybe i going to the procedure is the budget. we've already begun to make plans present the necessary documents as part of the budget. this issue has to result through the budget and be presented in that framework. but the teachers are not buying it. the see, the government is spending millions of dollars on unnecessary projects and can easily sort out the teacher salary issue if there is a way to do so. recent, we have seen some of the not just demonstrations by the 250000 strong union heavy handed release action during the corona's. i had a stan demik tourist and quarantine for testers,
