10:02 am
some cities. on wednesday, at least 3 people were killed in july about doing process against taliban leadership. former president dash off john is also emerge for the 1st times is freeing the country. he's now in the u, a. e, but american officials say he is no longer a figure in afghanistan and for not the taliban face is a tough road to governance. the international monetary fund a suspended the countries access to funds dance, including $440000000.00 in reserves. michelle about us, his life for us, a couple. let's talk about these independence day celebrations. first of all, this is a day for normally with districts would be strong enough kind of. so what's it like there now? well, independence goes back to when i'm going to start got independence from the brits in 1900. 19 the man who pushed the brits way back 100 years ago. his name was king . i'm an hon that he's buried in the city of gyla bad. just east of cobbled,
10:03 am
so that is traditionally that you seem to of these annual celebrations and we understand hundreds of people are still on the streets in july. they are waiving the old republic flag of red, green and black and the telephone gulf and not allowing them to do so. they were proteas. if you said yesterday, when the telephone and tried to take down this, this historic flag and replace it with their ard, they have conceded that so they will allow and allow these celebrations to continue on, hindered today the tell about also putting out a blog on their website saying, course, we have the seated, another superpower in the world on the anniversary of our independence from british rule. so things carrying on as they might typically have done in previous years, just under the taliban and state prison and gandhi's government. there's also another important national holiday happening today, and that is a sure a religious holiday for the she population all over the world. here it's the sound of the festival is focused on western cobble. so that is happening today also,
10:04 am
but traditionally assure is actually quite dangerous. they are often attacks on the population here by i saw taliban saying that they really want to birth security and protect this minority community in afghanistan so that they can celebrate it safely today. so it's going to be interesting to watch if they are able to protect this population and ensure that there aren't any attacks on the community. tell you we're just talking about those incidents in july about give us some, an indication of the kind of resistance. if indeed there is any, if there's any sort of organized resistance to the taliban, and is there any sense that it is, is growing in the country? well, those parties yesterday, it wasn't just in july about those. a few other provinces focus mainly on the flag, the fact that television has taken down the flag. i mean, usually i've, i've been here in independent states before and the flag is everywhere. so you're
10:05 am
not seeing that so much now. but that yesterday was mainly focused on the flag. we do understand it is somewhat of a resistance movement building and the problems of pen share, which is a very anti taliban stronghold, a few hours north of cobble that's being made by armored masoud, the son of a sharma 3rd. who is a big anti taliban leader? about 20 years ago, and he's teams up with the vice president, sally, now we understand so late to pension on sunday and has been trying to rally people to push back against the taliban beer. it's unclear how much traction they are going to get, but they, they say that they are going to push back against caliber on sunday. even saying that he's the president of f. kennesaw. because according to the constitution, now that connie has made, he should jump into that role of president gone. he did speak for the 1st time since c smith, he popped up in the united arab emirates last night. he gave an address via a facebook. here's some of what he said,
10:06 am
must be getting document disaster and we should input. if i stayed, i would have witness bloodshed and couple, couple should not be turned into another yemen or syria over power struggles. so i was forced to leave i left with just a waste coat and some clothes. the personality assassination against me has been ongoing, saying, i have taken money with me. the accusations are baseless lies, but you can even ask customs officials, they are based sir dani coming out strongly because there has been a lot of rumors around how he lift the man and he lift if he took money with them. so pushing back quite hard on that, he says he does plan to return to continue the if it's the justice for the people of afghanistan and that he supports current negotiations. now in terms of the negotiations, it's mainly the taliban trying to fold in some of his core team. people like a bill or a former president,
10:07 am
how many cars i would how much you trying to fold some of these people in from his team. but really, the telephone do hold all the cards and any negotiations going forward. charlotte, thanks very much. that's all about us for years up to date from couples. well, as we mentioned, joe biden is said he's committed to keeping us troops in afghanistan until every american is evacuated, even if it meant maintaining a military presence beyond the august 31st deadline, he spoke to in an interview with a b. c news. let's listen to what he had to say. all chips are supposed to be up by august 31st. even if americans in our afghan allies are still trying to get out, they're going to leave. we're going to do everything in our power to get all americans out and our allies. does that mean troops will stay beyond august 31st. if necessary. it depends on where we are. and whether we can get ramped these numbers up to 5 to 7000 a day coming out. if that's the case,
10:08 am
they'll all be out because we've got like 10 to 15000 americans in the country right now. right. and are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every american who wants to be out? yes. however, joe biden, secretary of defense, says his troops don't have the capacity to operate beyond the perimeter of cannibal . airport top american military commanders have been speaking for the 1st time since the africa and capital fell to the taliban. they defended their actions, saying intelligence did not indicate the after military collapse. so quickly practical came reports from the pentagon. the top military leaders in the u. s faced the press and make promises, and we are the united states military, and we fully intend to successfully evacuate all american citizens who want to get out of afghanistan. all american citizens who want to get out of afghanistan, they are a priority number one, but then these leaders admit, they can only do that if the taliban let them. and right now there are widespread
10:09 am
reports of people being denied access to the airport. we don't have the capability go out and collect up large numbers of people from barth. they. so they are negotiating with the taliban to allow americans and credentialed afghans to pass. but say the number of us troops there mean they can only focus on keeping the airport safe and was another 2000 people evacuated on tuesday. there are still tens of thousands of us citizens and we need to get out. how did this happen? the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says no one saw this coming the timeframe of a rapid collapse that was widely estimated in range from weeks to months and even years following our departure. there was nothing that i or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army in this government in 11 days. the consistent line from the pentagon has been this is not the time to look at what went wrong,
10:10 am
but instead to focus on the mission. but with growing outrage from both republicans and democrats, it's likely congressional hearings could start as early as next week, for what many are calling a humiliating, catastrophic failure. patty, calling al jazeera at the pentagon, or the united nation says about a 3rd of its stuff will be leaving us kind of stand because of the volatile situation there. let's, despite growing calls for the un to step up its diplomatic efforts inside is believe the maybe a window of opportunity to influence the taliban, but worn that it has to be done quickly, is difficult to get it to a james base who's been speaking to a veteran un mediator. the un has had an active mission in afghanistan for over 30 years, with only a handful of embassies now operational in cobble, and the us and its allies all of the airport handling evacuation flights. the international organization is perhaps the best place to step in the taliban
10:11 am

10:12 am
a really aggressive government, then you know the, the data saga i've gone on for 40 years, 50 years actually will, will resume or wisconsin diplomats. and even some senior un insiders have told me the united nations should show more energy urgency. and ambition when dealing with afghanistan, there's a feeling that there's a narrow window for diplomacy, but it might not last much longer. james bays al jazeera at the united nations saturday's earthquake and haiti has now killed 2189 people. a tropical storm grace that hit days after is hampering rescue efforts. some aid is arrived in the hardest hits city located in more rural areas. close to the epicenter, the quick entire communities have been flattened as john homer reports. this is the as yet little known center of haiti's dissolves design to i was from the city
