but i'm not bound with them. we are shoring our funds. the government come to me on my part, but i wonder whether not it's from about this is any kind of context in 2001 if you remember when it's done. but we had brought on a call to action to 0 in 2001, but our country wasn't for sure that occupied with and then the way i was pay the for reproduction as you go by the and i want to kind of context even at the level of the government, everybody was involved, but from now on, nobody's going to get involved. know what it can be and was drug smuggling. yet it

about. the question is whether you're in touch with dr. abdullah and genetic mature tom because the motor but let's say shaded on the bus and very soon we will be witnessing the formation of the government. them all these things are meant the most. we will do our most to make sure that we are in touch with all the good that we're done with. we have been communicating with them. we are continuing our communication with them. we will want to make sure that all are included. nobody should be left out with any other than anybody who is in the nation, the willing to serve donation. they're not going to be ignored with them, you know, in this office. so the future government to be introduced funding so as to when our

lease is going to enter the country. and to couple that i should mention that very soon the decision will be made and the governments will be announced and all programs were solved and come, it was the more want a little book on him. of course, we should wait a little bit more, maybe because it's like an emergency at the moment. and we will make sure mom is everybody's included and we'll have a proper unhealthy governments with the home. all the questions about the religion

of the neighboring countries. as i mentioned before, i've got a song on bama cuz she wants to have very good relations with everybody in order to revive our economy in order to ensure that to come out of the country says that calls for having very good relations with neighboring countries or other countries, we are doing our best to make sure that we are communicating with nipping countries within the framework of national diplomatic frameworks on the basis of good neighborly agreements. i'm trying to thank you so much for coming coming here. we don't have enough time. unfortunately. thank you so much for coming. have a good day, but i will. there we are. then we've been listening to a rather astonishing press conference there for for the taliban going on for close to one. i know we were hearing there from the taliban spokesman. that

was that the who knew she was a man whose house given announcements before that was face was usually covered. that's one of the 1st times we've seen him talking direct. the 2 people with his face uncovered a very fool hold there in not press conference. i'll just give you a quick summary of his remarks at the beginning, but we'll be bringing our correspondence. he did start by saying that this was a moments of cry, eats and not just for some in afghanistan, but for the entire nation. he wanted to congratulate the nation saying that we have expelled the foreigners. and then when tony to underline just how much they want a strong and inclusive government, but very much and islamic governments, he says the islamic and roots of, of canisters is not seeking revenge. we do not want to hold grudges, we want

a peaceful nation. he wants to assure foreign partners, especially embassies agencies, that their security is assured, very keen as well to underlying events. the islamic camera over dana stone is committed to the rights of women. but within the framework of shari'a, he says they want to build the economy, the taliban, the servants of the nation. they want to build the nation. they want to support journalists, but assisted the media. it should not be working against us. and then we have that remarkable press conference. they're starting off by taking questions from a female. i'll just the or english journalist charlotte bellis, and very much welcoming the contributions and the questions from international news agencies actively asking for more questions from international news agencies. in stark contrast, you could argue with the president of the united states who,

when he delivered his statement slammed to the book, shut, take no questions and walked out of the room. so let's break dying. what was we learn from that? press conference with our corresponds in, in kabul. what mcbride's he showing says, no life what, what did you make of that press conference? i think it was what we were expecting. we were anticipating that this is going to be a different sort of a taliban administration. it really has to be, i mean, such a star memories, very bad memories of what happened 20 years ago. it has to be completely different to that. so they really have to set the tone from the very beginning. and i think that's what he was aiming for. to show the softer side of the taliban if they feel like this is a more inclusive, more sensitive, more respectful of the rights of the key groups like we made,

et cetera. also talking about the media that welcoming the media, that we should have a free media, but obviously working within the values of islam, et cetera. so a lot of it was qualified, but it is what we were expecting that it was going to be showing a more acceptable face of the taliban. i thought that we started rather triumphal as to if you'd like. and. 3 may be expecting that this was going to be a little more hard line the way he was talking about this being seeing off the foreigners expelling them after 20 years of emancipation, etc. it all sounded pretty tough. stuff is always going to be pretty uncompromising . but then saying that every nation has the right to freedom, independence, and so on, giving gratitude to god. but as you said, that what we've heard before about this idea that there wouldn't be any retribution, any reprisals, any revenge, no grudges would be born. talking about the new african, it would be a place of peace. they doesn't. the taliban doesn't want any enemies,

doesn't want any animosities with any other groups. so that was important. also, during the questions we asked of the he was asked about the all of the people who are thronged at the airport. the fact just as we're talking we hear the od shocked ring out from the apple. this is the taliban gods there. warning people to stay back. there are still some crowd control trouble. just as a reminder of what's going on in the context of this at this press conference if you like. but his assurance that was that anyone who is at the airport, who fears for their safety, who may have been linked, says an interpreter role or working for a foreign or a organization development organization with foreign military. there's no need to be that. he said you could go home, they will not be a knock on the door, they will not be at interrogation. you will not be hom. so he was very key to, to stress that which we've heard before. we had expected this,

they have been promoting this message now for a number of weeks when it was clear that they were in the ascendancy, they had the upper hand. they really have to stop giving a more conciliate, 3 message that they could find a way forward, a peaceful way forward if you like, holding, holding out the hand of friendship, if you like this offering something more conciliatory. okay. well, mcbride lie 1st in the couple world. thank you very much indeed. let's bring in her room. right. have me. he's assistant professor of law at the american university of afghan, a son and joins is now by skype from bull hearing you were listening to that as well. the taliban trying to show their softer sides. what do you think? do you think care people both within afghanistan and externally, are going to be reassured by what they have heard from the taliban at this pressure? so 1st of all, i would like to recall what your correspondence was saying earlier that we've heard

these before. significant bits prince conference was that before he was made a statement made by different actors. but now it's the formal a spokesperson for the movement that he's making these a statement. so it is adding credibility to those statements. but those payments have been there before. but despite the fact that those statement have been heard before, there were also contradictory reports mostly here. say i should, i like that. but because there was a chilling to pick them journalism. so we had a hard time verifying or they were coming out. but i mean, the statements have been accompanied by as some divergent report from the ground underground. now, the question is whether this printer just reinforcing those messages will be accompanied by actions and whether those examples of divergence behaviors. i mean, people who have been reporting abuses will be actually held accountable and control the key thing that is that they would it just to me to be seen. what is clear is

that a large part of the people of honest on is still do not find even if it is credible . and that's why you see the rush to the door and the exit as it. because for example, the promise of amnesty are something to be credible to a lot of people as to why that is, i think it has to do with some of the fear environment. it has to do with the brutality. tell you that about some people need to be harder. they change because the hon. recently they use a brutal report. there's also contradictory report report contradict these pronouncement coming out right now, especially from provinces where we don't have a lot of independent media present because it's been a challenge. aspect of the process is the issue of a woman, right? minority, right. and what the problem mean? what they say it's going to be what in the book show you and long as always, the devil is the details. i mean, a lot of islamic countries have different laws,

different regulations, and all of them are considered a stomach by the world by the population. taliban in the past also claimed the redeem in 990. s was islamic, i mean they called the stomach image and i think they have never admitted that what the law they impose at the time. we're not islamic laws. if they mean, when they say would be a framework as lamby mean the same thing, it's not clear. i mean, they have been able to hold contradict reviews i've been trying to, to end with because they haven't clarified, they have been able to make abstract general statements. they haven't been, haven't clarified detailed in terms of lane down like, well those goods able to go to diversity under what conditions, how it woman can actually a pretty media under what conditions and how they mix picture. and we have to see how those details going to be filled in. there is a mixed picture and certainly several people at that conference were asking for more details about what that meant. the spoke, some was very much saying less wait for the government to be for the 1st of the

last to be made 1st and then we'll get back to you for now. thank you very much indeed. harun. i remember he, me that we will check in with you, of course, later on, but i do want to speak to i'll just leave a charlotte bellis charlotte's was in the media center. she was gone to the 1st question that has to be set up that press conference. charlotte, you asked a question about women's rights. you asked what assurances women would be given? what was the, how did the, how did the taliban respond to that? and certainly do you think that was the significance of the fact that they use a female journalist called 1st? yes, i think they wanted to make a statement that they were going to protect the woman's rights. they spoke about it extensively during the whole a much ahead speech and, and also in the questions and other women also asked a question about women's rights and what we can expect basic,

we're committed to women's rights and goes right skills. going to school woman working, they even went to the extreme to saying what type of job women will be allowed to have everything. and they ministries, government ministries, even in the police and the attorney general's office. they said that everything would be allowed as long as it's under sri in law. the question is how they define sri at the war and that is was, i guess we'll have to wait and see about how conservative the definition of sri a little they. but a good sign giving. ask the question as a woman and then also allowing other women to ask the questions and, and push them on what we can expect from them and show that how slipping. and this was something that the people in the whole where pricing on what was the government going to luke? like when are we going to understand what within the framework of should be yellow means? was there any indication forthcoming at all about when we're going to see more

meets on the bones of the taliban administration? is going to look like because he was mentioning that the liter isn't even in the country yet. 1 they say that we have to be patient, essentially they say the political system is going to be instituted that history talks. i'm going now. so they want to be exclusive. they mentioned that bill or below the former ceo by name. we know that the former president harman cause i another man, some people would have much. yeah. also involved in these talks, they want to follow these people. and then they said in the, in this press conference today, we want it to be a strong inclusive system. it's unclear how long it's going to take for them to reach that point and how long they take. but a lot of pressure leaks from the journalists here to get some type of decency about what government they are currently living under. ok, certainly the, the question of women's rights came up quite a lot,

but also the question of security and reprisals as what was the feeling in the whole there because some of the journalists were pushing quite hard all not question presenting the taliban spoke with examples of security issues, people getting knocked on the door and so on. i reflexively did the taliban team deal with those with those charges they. they said that we, that everyone is forgiven and that they don't want revenge. we don't want people to leave their assets to us. they said that they should stay and not leave the country, and that, that they want to move on that this, that this country is a safe place for everyone and they want it to be inclusive. they said we'll brothers him now. 5 but a testament to the african journalists and the room of which there was at least 101 person saying look, you say that you have to give an off, but how can weeks it gives you. how do you expect all the people who have been

killed by the taliban are going to forgive you and move forward? and they said, you know, we, we never did that intentionally. we killed anyone intentionally. it's a consequential rule with defeated the superpower and we should be proud and all of our family protected by this. so, i mean that you have to give them credit for being transparent. and for replying honestly and typically to some quite hard questions from the journalist. he has to give the journalist credit for not being timid in the face of this movement. that's much to tell. absolutely. it was startling to see a degree of open. there's like, i say, almost 3 quarters of an hour's worth the statement. questions. certainly inviting questions from journalist something that some for me to simply have not done to date on this charlotte bellis life from the media center. so that in kabul,

thank you very much in deeds. let's say with this, the nato secretary general has called on the taliban to facilitate the departure of all those who wants to leave. i scan is done. yet stoughton burg also blamed the african governments the former african government set for what's happening in kabul rights. now let's go to join a hole in london for moral and this join a, we've had their, the, the taliban reaction. but the nature of the to ship has also been speaking. what can you tell us about that may to presser that was held just just shortly beforehand. yeah, within the last couple of hours. and i mean, look, i think there's no getting away from the fact that this is an extremely bad moment for nato. the world's most powerful military alliance. it pulled out the majority of its remaining 9000 and personnel of the back of the u. s. withdrawal and

precipitated the current crisis. worse for jen stoughton berg, the secretary general himself, he'd always said that if they were to be a withdrawal, it would be carefully managed. it would happen based on conditions on the ground that would allow it. of course, in the end, the absolute opposite of that happened, nato, forced to withdraw because the european allies decided they couldn't stick it without us support. so we heard from a pretty somber sounding gens store, but frankly, taking stock of the current situation. he said, look, we always knew that was a risk that the taliban would return to seize power. but nobody expected the swift and southern collapse of the african to security forces. he said there would be lessons to be learned. there was a need for a clear eyed assessment after the evacuation. the immediate emergency period has passed, but he did appear to pin the blame on the failure of africa and leadership. he said to stand up to the taliban, he went on to say,

we never intended to stay forever. he talked up some of the successes of the last 20 years, helping to build a functional africa and government helping to build a functional african military develop developmental successes, women's and girls rights and so on. but, you know, in the end, there is no getting away or disguising the fact. this was an absolutely ignominious moment. an ignominious end to nato's 20 year mission in afghanistan. and no matter how much the secretary general attempted to talk up individual successes, it is a mission that has ended in failure. it have and the credit difficult precedent times for me again starting berg, especially when he faced questions directly related to the fate of african women. more of the, of course, later on. thank you very much indeed. a jonah. well, this is it for this and use our thanks for joining us for the continuing coverage. we are going to take a quick break, but i'm going to be back with you. and just a moment with more of the phase news,

including coverage of that remarkable press conference from the taliban at the stay with us here. and i'll just be around a news news, news, news, news, violence and discrimination are all too familiar to many of them in india. a reality too often reinforced by bollywood. but its leading star is throwing his weight behind the cause of february 2000 and using his celebrity to advocate for gender equality ah, the snake charmer. on the con,

witnessed on a jersey to more than 10 years after the global financial crisis. you've taken home more than $480000000.00. your companies now bankrupt our economies in the state of crisis. i have a very casey question. many last at home, the us held responsible. i will be fabulously wealthy, and i will not pay any price for it. the men who still work on al jazeera to know where the fires are and where they are going. greeks look to the skies worrying sign helicopters have been getting close to major towns and cities. this one has just become much bigger. and if you can see by the train tracks the fires, climbing up michelle just behind us on the ground, this is what the business of fighting fires looks like. holding back inevitably of

mother nature's fury is dangerous and exhausting. we're trying to give whatever we got, the hope is the fire will stop when it runs out of fuel. but for the moment, the fuel is everything inside the who's taking charge with a message of tolerance, the taliban sense it will respect women's rights. it will pardon people against them. ah, hello, i'm hello. hey, dean and this is al jazeera, nice and so home. also coming up, evacuation flights museum. that complex for it's a day as just fun, isn't of people trying to flee the taliban take over.
