fire will stop when it runs out of fuel. but for the moment, the fuel is everything inside the news taking charge for the message of tolerance, the taliban sense it will respect women's rights. it will pardon people against them. ah, hello, i'm how am i doing? and this is al jazeera life and so home also coming up, evacuation flights resume that complex for it's a day after the fun, isn't of people trying to flee the taliban takeover. but a different scene along the lines border with focused on hopefully by ethnic groups who support the taliban fiction shelters, arch search. people in our contents are now facing flash floods on tropical
7:01 pm
storm. ah, the taliban has declared at once peaceful relations with other countries and its 1st news conference since taking control in afghanistan. the group has been keen to show you face to the world, pledging inclusion and education for women and religious tolerance. recruit insists it will offer amnesty to anyone who works with the governments or foreign forces. but reports of taliban rule in cities captured during the groups advance of raised fears about these promises. the move on to hum, put up a city we have pardoned anyone, all those who had fought against us. we don't want to repeat of war. we want to do away with the factors of conflict. so these, i'm a camera to that kind of stand does not have any conflict with anybody. we want the
7:02 pm
fighting to end this money amount of money. i hid that these nomic emerett of afghanistan is committed to the rights of women within the framework of shari'a. are even have the same rights. they can work in different sectors on the basis of our rules and regulations in education and health and other areas. well then there are going to be work and shoulder to shoulder with us. what we want to assure the international community, there will be no discrimination against women. but of course, within our religious framework. well let's say go live they see. cobble where we can speak with our correspondent rob mcbride's robe. you are watching that news conference start to finish. i read you summarize it. i think it was as we expected. you know, we've seen it's not quite a charm offensive, but yeah, you know, after all of the, the military offensive of the recent weeks, it is certainly that the taliban tried to reassure the international community. and also we can themselves that this is going to be a different type of res regime,
7:03 pm
a different type of government. soft decide if you like, more respectful and inclusive. all of these key words we've tended to hear in the last week or 2 or 2. and now we hear this 1st official news conference. it is very important. this is almost like the keynote address, i guess for this new government, it's been long anticipated. it was meant to take place that we had talked that it could have taken place yesterday. monday got delayed and now we have it. so this is important. interesting. we right at the end that we have heard that this will become, it seems a regular feature. there will be news conferences on a regular basis moving forward rather like the, the kind of international community, the western liberal sorted countries that it seems this news conference was a me that you did get the sense that although they were the we were addressing issues that are very important here in afghanistan and to the african journalists to with that in this news conference,
7:04 pm
it was very mindful of what the world watching would think about this new government and the taliban comes into power here. really with somebody of a hill decline. you have a very skeptical international audience looking at this organization, given all of the history that we know about going back 20 years. it has an expectedly in many respects, suddenly found itself inheriting this country. and there isn't extreme skepticism from the international community about the way the taliban conducted itself. for example, during these negotiations that as part of the agreement as part of the process, it was meant to enter into negotiations with the what is now the defunct government that says just just been just collapsed. but it was, was meant to negotiate with that government and there is skepticism that it was playing for time that it was acting in bad faith. all of those things obviously which the taliban denies. and it blames the other side. it blames the outgoing
7:05 pm
government for acting in bad faith and for bringing about the crisis that resulted in the down coming. so all of this did seem to be aimed at trying to convince the overseas audience. and you got a lot of that. they did address some of those issues, particularly that the international community is concerned about. one thing we didn't mention earlier was that the fact that never again would african is don. b would allow afghanistan, land, or soil to be used for the training of groups of fighters who was tracking those countries overseas. that was one of the big concerns that obviously led to all of the lead to the intervention of 20 years ago. so with that, that was that guarantee that specific day there was a guarantee and answer to one of the questions to the people who are just a kilometer or 2 away from here, clamoring to get into the international airport. and as we were listening to the news conference, we hear occasionally,
7:06 pm
gunshots ring out sometimes that the single shot sometimes automatic gunfire as the taliban gods and fighters are here who have a code around the terminal. try to keep people back. it is a reminder and it gives you the context of what's happening here. but that was the assurance for all of those people that there is no need to run, that there is a guarantee that they will not be reprisals or grudges or knock on the door or interrogations as they put it. the people who are that can go home, that they will not be any recrimination. it remains to be seen whether the people who are in fear this, that tuesday evening that they are going to be targeted. whether they will believe that or not. but certainly that was the message that the taliban wanted to get across with this news conference. okay, well, my bright reports in lie for us from combo road thank heads up the telephones, political office in casa capital. doha is heading back to kind of son,
7:07 pm
lot of dual honey, but other lead the groups negotiations in they stopped with the u. s. and africa and governments. he departed after meeting cultures, foreign minister or they were today, talks between the taliban and former african officials will not be held domestically instead of in though ha, left bringing her own room. he, me, he's the assistance an assistant professor of low at the american university of afghanistan enjoys was by skype. from istanbul, it's great to have you with us. again. it's quite significant. does it know that we'll have dual county, but that is heading back to afghanistan. does this give any indications you think of who's going to be making up the governments? what kind of government we're going to see specially, know that the top people are basing themselves in the capital of the country they have just seized. so that's to be clear that he's not the top person in the
7:08 pm
top of a movement below brother. he's been the head of the political office in doha, but they have a system of leadership. the leadership council is at the head and my brother had generally been acting as a political office. you can compare him to kind of a minister of foreign affairs in a sense. but the head of the military committee and the leadership committee are 2 different people into the what kind of garmin you can expect. now, given the development to be there so far, i had hoped and the hope had been that there will be an interim government that is neutral, that hope was lost in any escape cobble and tolerable and said that they had to step in to appeal to vacuum they could not just wait until the government did not wait for an engine government to take over from candy and then a new government will be formed under the supervision of government. that is not the case. now. tall about are, are all ends in person purposes. in charge and they will be controlling the process
7:09 pm
to which a new government will be formed. this means that we will be having a ton, one control process to which and inclusive government will be called cover are pretty much holding all card. there are 2 considerations that may point 2 or more inclusive system. one is international intimacy. it's something that, that is important about it. one of the things they care about the care about, many things that come up and they come contention with their desires have. in fact, the machine will have to see how trade up work out. the 2nd issue, the contribution to make points towards possible, more inclusive government, even despite the fact that i will control the process of creating the government, is their desire to have domestic legitimacy. you have to realize that the other one are not a popular movement. they are becoming more popular. i believe they are be given that they are in macon lot order and there are things about the bright things. but it's a large part of the population, is incredibly skeptical them distrusting previous appraisal,
7:10 pm
and remembers the context through which they conduct the brutal war tilting millions and con, conduct many, many beats, and crime, and against the population. so you have be an convince population and will they will if you are have foresight, they will turn to have different constituents if i'm honest on represented in the government to gain domestic, we're going to see if they fail to do that to fail, could do for many government that would ensure international domestic wisdom and then i'm afraid that we will have resistance formed for me and gets the same way when it's born. one title, one or 2, that when the 2001 new took them was formed, after the war toppled, we thought they talked about in june and re emerging about emergent as an insurgency. now, there are, hence that there will be an insurgency formed, i mean, the former vp claim that he's, he's the head of a bill that i can take up the government that are paying for,
7:11 pm
but still is not. i'm not trying to develop on and some military report. there are rumors that military out there. so i mean, and those are still on hold and it's gonna depend on what it, how about will be able to bring in the opposition into the government to neutralize any preempt any possibility of resistance becoming popular even. i mean, some people may still call it, but how included the government will be is gonna determine how popular that resistance will be. not missy is also important because it's going determine who's willing to possibly of a resistance or, or not. ok, very notable that lots of focus in that pressure on trying to get people to stay in the country to prevent brain drains to rebuild the nation. will just have to wait and see if the people of afghanistan will heeds that co from her room raheem a great to get your analysis on your thoughts. thank you very much in deeds. now
7:12 pm
the nato secretary general has called on the taliban to facilitates the departure of all those who wants to leave the country yet. sultan burg also blamed the afghan forces for what's happening in cobble right now. the african political leadership failed to stand up to the taliban, and to cheve the peaceful solution that africans desperate they wanted. this failure, ask and leadership lead to the tragedy we are witnessing today. turkey and greece fear being at the forefront of another refugee crisis is thousands of afghans look to sleep taliban rule. turkeys already building a bowl a moment or 2 with a run to stop 3 for crossing illegally. grease the said it cannot become a gateway into the e. u for afghans. greece was on the front line of europe's migration crisis in 2015, where nearly a 1000000 people think conflicts and syria,

7:14 pm
to afghanistan as a means of deterrence for new arrivals and doing so with the support of 90 percent of the austrian public. so it's all very well for people like the french president emanuel macaroni to stand up as he did on monday and call for a joined up european approach to ensure the safe passage of people coming if they want to come. but this is an incredibly thorny issue in europe. it's led to the downfall of governments in recent years. it's spawn right wing movements in almost every country. governments, i think will certainly be on their god, if not all of them actively preparing to accommodate what may soon becoming their way. there are huge fights over fantasies where the taliban enjoy supports from certain ethnic groups. the talk and border crossing with pakistan is one such place . it has no reopens, and there's no rush of people trying to flee as co hired or explains. the man border crossing red drain, i wandered on,
