10:00 am
conflict, so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can to as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given crisis or issue. as always, is there a correspondence? that's what we strive to do. i use the chaos city airport to semblance of normality on the streets will be live in cobble for an update on life under the taliban in afghanistan, african nationals look forward to a new life in cats. all will take a live updates from the air base, which is the hub of us evaluations from cobble ah, hello and welcome mind peter w. watching al jazeera life from her,
10:01 am
also coming up is ready fight to jeff target. come as positions in garza for a flare up of violence on the border, plus the children and parents in peru demand schools reopened. 18 months after in person classes were suspended. as the cobit pandemic. ah, people in afghanistan are still scrambling to get out one week after cobble fell to the taliban, and other 4 people were reported a crushed to death while trying to force their way into complet port on saturday. the u. s. says 17000 people including afghans, americans and other national have been flowing out. but many are still stranded. robert bright, joyce is live now from cobble, rob to get the sense this morning. but that scene at the airport is any better organized than it was this time yesterday. know,
10:02 am
basically that still seems to be the same levels of k s, the at the, the, for this very difficult to see just what the end today is going to be. it's still wrong by people outside the ad for many of them saying that they have legitimate documents. they are eligible to get on the backend ation flight. but just trying to process those people amongst all the chaos and trying to see how they're going to get all the lights through these gates through the taliban checkpoint. it's very difficult. and then of course, there are hundreds, if not thousands of other people really just trying their luck. i just go into the apple staying at the apple on the off chance so they might, might get something even when the of the evacuation is over. whenever that might be by the united states and other, other governments. when the commercial flight starts, it's difficult to see how the vast, again, is going to clear the backlog will be people be able to get on commercial flights, get visas for other countries and so on. the way commercial flights do start is
10:03 am
that going to cause another rush of people who are holding back because they see the may have there and don't want to get involved in it. quite rightly. i both a once commercial flights are rough right here again, do we see another search to remain ready? quite a chaotic situation. i think that you have things like we haven't reports, but there are some enterprising people with computers, laptops and princes who are staking out one particular gateway. many of the civilians turn up and told to turn up their evacuation flights and for a few dollars. they will print off and create a fake email said supposedly saying that you have the right to get on a flight or even be that. so that just adds to the chaos. so amidst all of this, the 4 main gates of the airport largely remain closed. the advice from the u. s. embassy is the us citizens should not go to the airport unless they have specific plans all that paperwork in place to be able to get through specific gates. that's
10:04 am
us develop still be here. also, afghans who have the right to go to the u. s. on special baez's. and then to add to this, there is, there are threats from security. i'm listed there might be some attack by i still the islamic state here. it has been operating enough, janice done, it was delta big love a couple of years ago. but there are elements here and some security analysts warning that that could be attack would all add to the level of chaos, the level of stress and tension that the apple. and despite what's going on in and around the area where you are, rub not, not a complete clean sweep for the taliban. you got pictures for us. i know of the northern alliance, not the name that's lost in the past. the northern alliance getting ready to swear off in certain areas up against the taliban. yeah, this is it all that seems to be, you know, the afghan dynamic. if you like, of equal and opposite forces. when one power comes didn't takes power, it comes into the ascendancy, that will be something to resist against it and that these may be what we are
10:05 am
seeing here. certainly in the dying days of the regime, what you got to remember is. 3 exactly one week ago today we were seeing helicopters moving from the u. s embassy to the airport. it's been a very long week in the dying day, at the moment of the old government. people were dropping that weapons and putting on civilian clothes. many people here still, many units didn't want to be any part of the new regime. under taliban rule, they fled with that weapons that vehicles, we know that other governments be for special forces commandos they took join. what was left of part of the air force here, the gun air force on helicopters and so on into flights into his back is down that because that number of them maybe to claim asylum. but you do get a sense that many others would want to continue the fight. so there is this area know of cobble, the punch valley, which traditionally has been the feet of the opposition to the government to the taliban. it was back in the 1990. it was a home,
10:06 am
a sharma sued the so called line of pansy. and now his son is there in the punch it was meant to be a possibly leading a resistance getting that together. but there are reports. now that he had made his peace with the taliban, this place to lead to it. since that report came out, there's been another report again from the resistance movement themselves and punch that says that's not the case. they have simply been in talk. so as many things are here enough, got to stand it remain extremely pike rub. thank you very much for mcbride, the correspondent, live in cobble will afghans who fled their homeland have spoken of the despair of leaving loved ones behind and uncertainty about what happened next. hundreds of activities are being temporarily hosted in cats, while arrangements are made for them to travel on to a 3rd country. one woman said she'd never thought of leaving afghanistan before, but the taliban takeover left her no choice. char stratford is at the out of date,
10:07 am
air base in doha for us, this out. charlie, what are you seeing and hearing and what kind of stories are you hearing as well? well, we've been here now for i suppose was near enough 5 hours will be seen as hundreds of african evacuation coming from hangers and being processed by the cultural authorities before they go on the 2 countries we met, one group of a family of 6 gentlemen had been working for western media huge, the relieved that he and his family managed to get on one of these planes out of afghanistan. but of course very, very unsure about their future. he described how terrifying it was the rush to try and get on a plane. and him and his family, one of thousands of done exactly that. this is one of the, a number of holding centers,
10:08 am
thousands of afghans being being processed before they do go into a country. as i say, to this group of people that were going on to mexico. a lot of children, as you can imagine, a lot of very steep looking parents and kids as, as they have no choice but to, to join these cues and have the papers processed that have been concerns reports about over crowding. and some of the holding sensors here, i base, but by and large, the people that we've spoken to a very grateful to the countries and, and that was of the international community who have managed to get them out. you can imagine the pressures of numbers here. we understand that this possibly $8000.00 people being held also being, being looked after, at the date i'm looking out across the field now about to get on the bus so we can
10:09 am
get on a flight to cobble. but i can see at least 6 see 17 cargo planes, military plains. we expect more flights throughout the day. incredible lift up these evacuees, continues. charlie, as you're talking to us, we're looking at pictures here of what looks like somebody's grandmother being pushed in a wheelchair on to the back of one of those big cargo transport planes. were also looking at pictures of teenagers, maybe young parents with toddlers. i mean, in parallel to this, there was that scheme up and running already to relocate afghans who had worked with the need to lead alliance on the ground in afghanistan. but the people who are being evacuated just now are lucky enough, i guess because they've got the right paperwork. they managed to get onto a plane. they're clearly not part of that program. they just people who are getting away from the taliban, understandably well, that's right. i mean, we understand that the vast majority of these people are relatives of the thousands
10:10 am
of people that over the years have worked for you, that nato forces or western media. i mean, there are reports that just the amount of people that have worked for the u. s. media. over the years, afghans amounts to literally thousands of people. we understand that, you know, media organizations are doing as much as they can to get those media work is out, but course as many of their families too. but as we heard, rob say, the income that, you know, there are concerns about that level of desperation. and the, some of the measures that these people are taking to try and get all these planes is talk of by paperwork being used, fake visas being sold even. so yeah, you can imagine the kind of tool that these people have faced and end date. the great relief that many of them feel it being in places like hearing in cultural dello, de, but it credible, i'm certain, say, going forward. it's just bizarre,
10:11 am
frankly, to think that a week ago these families that we spoke to were in afghanistan by now here. and they all the way to mexico to start a new life. i mean, doesn't get stranger than that. and obviously a graph just how tool which isaac this experience is be and continues to be thousands, tens of thousands of guns and briefly charlie, i know you've got to go and get on that plane very briefly. one week since the taliban took the country, i guess for these people it's not a 100 percent safe waiting for them the life they're going to. i mean, it must be a little bit like going into a witness protection program. ok. you may end up living and working in mexico, you may end up living on working in the states. but you're still on a hit list for the taliban. it's difficult to thought of, isn't it exactly that these people are leaving their lives,
10:12 am
or what they've known for, many of them in their home country, a country that they love, no matter how unsafe they have felt and, and that sense of insecurity going forward must be must be difficult to bear. 3 you know, just a country like mexico for example. i very much doubt, many of the people we saw this line speak any spanish we understand, we know the kind of hardships that, that mexico faces in dealing with its own socio economic problems. so yeah, there are huge challenges that these, these people face a deeply traumatic experience and as i say, there's another play that i can see coming in. now we're expecting many of these days in the days ahead. charlie many thanks. ok, safelite come back and talk to us when you land at the other end. surely, stratford they're reporting live from us. they're based here in kat. coca is a former us ambassador to need. so currently a distinguished fellow at the center for european policy analysis. he says the
10:13 am
chaotic us withdrawal sends the wrong message to american allies and adversary's. it's clear that there was not enough planning done to account for the number of people who needed to be activated. the security that they need in order to get to the airport. and then the arrangements to get them from cargo airport to state places. so this is just a catastrophic failure planning. we do have a moral obligation to help all people get out of the problem. it seems as though the taliban is at least willing to let the international go, but need to have a much better organizational brand with us to get it done very, very quickly. whether it's russia or china, or even ro, dictators such as we have in rio rancho, they're going to be learning from this experience that the united states does not have the determination of all to determine an outcome. instead, we don't have, the stamina will pull out,
10:14 am
and if the consequences are as dire as they are in afghanistan, we will none the less not turn around and support those people still ahead here on al jazeera, fear all this has tyria that has taken place as fun founded, al jazeera speaks to a member of the taliban to learn about the group's plans for the country and diving into history series of looking to italy to find out what went on beneath the surface. ah. hello, their extreme heat across southern europe in recent weeks has helped fuel wildfires in the region. and the latest one which is burning in the south of france is at risk of spreading as strong changing winds kick in this. we can now hot and dry
10:15 am
conditions persist across the south on sunday, but up in the north, it is looking wet and windy a thanks to a weather system that swirling to the east. so we're going to see some heavy rains for the netherlands, for belgium, for germany, and across the outer region. we could see some flooding and those rains are going to intensify across poland, the czech republic and austria into next week. but for scandinavia, it's fine and dry, much about wet weather has pushed off to the east. and as we look to the southeast for grief, it does dry up though we are seen some strong winds kick in across the islands for southern parts of italy. it's hot and dry up in the northwest, seeing the wet weather and remains hot and dry for southern areas of france, which is fueling those wild fires. but we are really seem to heat build across the iberian peninsula. we're expecting the temperature in quote about to pick up to 40 degrees celsius on monday, and we'll see plenty of sunshine with that. that should weather update
10:16 am
the frank assessments by way. it is a lesson again, freedom surprising informed opinions. what you saw happening get from market. there was 42. there was petune is the critical debate here. it's not between cooler and any longer. we are confident here that 4 years re running to keep them people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera. oh a
10:17 am
16 minutes past the these are your top story so far today. thousands in ghana, son of still scrambling to get out when we come to cobble, fell to the town. about 4 people were reportedly crushed to death. trying to force their way into couple airport on saturday. hundreds of evacuees from afghanistan arriving in capital many and making their way to a 3rd country. the us, 17000 people have been flown out of afghanistan. is ready and strikes of again, pounded the besieged garza strip. is ready. security forces hammer sites were targeted over nights. they include weapons, storage, and manufacturing facilities. israel. it has deployed more troops to the garza board offense area. the latest is really escalation on the cross border gunfire earlier on saturday, at least 41 palestinians and israelis soldier were injured during the protest near the border fence, a 13 year old palestinian boy was shot in the head and is not critically injured.
10:18 am
let's talk to human health. you live 1st in garza, this are you just talk us through what happened here? well yes, yesterday these really air forces carried a series of raid in different areas in gaza, city and say, right, the refugee camp in the middle of the goddess trip, mainly on resistance sites and agriculture lands no injuries were reported, but just material damage. this has come in retaliation according to the israeli military, to the injury of one of its soldiers that were deployed last night on the borders of the gods. the and israel borders where the protests were taking a place. it was very, this was one of the very violent days where protest has not been going on for very
10:19 am
long. and because this strict due to the corona pandemic. but yes, today was the 52nd anniversary of the burning of an ox saw. and this is what most palestinians found to be the right day to commemorate such an event. and that's why lots of palestinians actually hundreds of them and maybe 1000 went to malika camp. this is where it's really iraq to after the israeli army responded to the gatherings of these protesters with gas canisters that were fired on them later on more policy and tried to approach defense despite mars actually deploying security members over or against defense to keep the policy and protesters away, but some were actually able to come their nature in back night. we, we were,
10:20 am
we heard the news that one of the policy, one palestinian injured and israeli soldiers. and this is what israel said it would respond to by carrying out trades on because his strength last night, you know, thanks very much human, i'll say their report in life 1st of gaza. ok, let's go back to our top story. the taliban takeover. all afghanistan al jazeera charlotte, bella to spoken exclusively with abdul cohart bulky from the taliban cultural commission. it was the group's 1st official interview since it took over cobble one week ago. he revealed more to charlotte's about the televisions vision of the future on our lot. so a lot of them is, well, i don't care how bulky revealed his face to the 1st time. on tuesday. at the tele bonds food press conference, he translated spokesman, debbie hola much ahead but remains without an official title. his role is one of
10:21 am
many still to be decided in the new government. concentrations are ongoing, and of course it is going to be an inclusive system. he said the talks include whether the capital will remain in couple or move to the groups. birthplace of kandahar loki acknowledged a couple. a port remains a flash point. blaming the united states, the rushing to evacuate thousands of people. we talk then we have a relationship, a working relationship of with the americans about the security arrangement. and the outside check posts are in our control and insight as under the control of the united states forces and then constant contact with one another. he acknowledged lack of trust between people and cargo, and the taliban, blaming it on the distance created by decades of conflict. it is very unfortunate
10:22 am
for people to be rushing to the airport the way they are at the moment. i think it would have been much better because we have announced general amnesty for everyone. the security forces from senior to the junior level. and this fear all this has tyria that has taken place as unfounded. it's now been 7 days since the telephone entered cobble and moved bulky said, its leaders didn't intend to make. the developments were so fast that all people were taken by surprise. and when we entered cobble and it was not pre planned because we announced initially that we do not want to enter cobble. and we want to reach a political solution before entering, cobble and making a joint,
10:23 am
an inclusive government. but what happened was that the security forces left and they abandoned their places and we were forced to force to ask our forces to enter and take over security syncing. there's been concern over how the telephone will govern and a press conference this week. the group said women will work shoulder to shoulder with men, but within the boundaries of sri a law, the point of inter gone talks about precisely that we come to an agreement about what those rights actually entail. shari'a law is known to everyone and there's no ambiguity about the rights of women, the rights of men, not only women, but also the rights of men and children. and right now we're at a situate situation that hopefully during the consultation they will be clarification about what those rights are. the telephone is also reported to have conducted rights on hose targeted killings and harass government and civil society
10:24 am
figures. the tele bond denies the claims but said it is investigating cases of criminality, formless priority as discipline in our own ranks and not enforcing laws on others but enforced and get on ourselves 1st. and then given it as an example for the rest of society to follow too. so we are the 1st ones and our members. members, if they are involved in such things, will be the 1st to be prosecuted. some telephone leaders remain on international watch lists and under sanctions, including the groups deputy leader, surgery, dean, her connie, as the us leaves f ganna song and the taliban into the government. i asked his thoughts on the term terrorist. well, i don't think people believe we are terrorists. i think it's just the war on terror . it was just a term coined by the united states. and anyone that did not fall in line labeled
10:25 am
terrorist bulky said the taliban wants to move force and hope stakeholders, both domestic and international, can cooperate on common interests. as the group takes the reins of government, many afghans will be hoping it can and will execute such a vision. charlotte bellis out there. a couple. thousands of parents and teachers in peru have joined rallies, pushing for schools to reopen. most children have not been in a class since march of last year. that's when the government closed all education facilities because of the cobit pandemic. mariana sanchez has been at one protest in lima. the children, parents and teachers marching together, demanding the government, opens up schools. children said they're fed up studying online since march of last year. we want to go back to school. we don't want to see traps at home behind a screen. we want to go back there and say,
10:26 am
homeschooling is taking it's toll. children are not learning enough. you're suffering as a result. yeah, but they know how to, where mosques, i'm more concerned about their mental health that been looked up for too long. 2 the pandemic hit nearly 40 percent of schools had infrastructure problems, some lack healthy environments without sewage or even running water. now these protesters say more than 60000 schools are ready to receive students, that the government prefers to favor the economy before education and not not, no, i got, there's no balance in their policies. i go to a mole, and there are thousands of people walking around the same unconcerned about cobit, according to our recent unit study, we do is one of 8 countries who schools have remained fully closed up until now. or then 10 percent of schools have partially open most in layer seals for children are most affected by homeschooling, 12 year olds that may be deaf and small brother. yes, the seal share,
10:27 am
the only cell phone, the family own to study one and it doesn't always work. message is difficult. sometimes we lose the signal. other times we don't have electricity to charge it. it's very difficult. while many families are afraid, their children may get cold in school. or recent opinion poll says nearly 70 percent of parents, one schools reopen. experts say the decision is a risky balancing act and not just the risks are very high either way. if we go back to school, there's the risk of contagion. if we don't, the cost will be enormous for children future. on friday, the government declared the state of emergency or it's education system. the government consider can still do a risk and all the children back to not only for them the most, i'm 50 percent of them received the vaccine. official said the 3rd wave of corona virus is just beginning and thousands of people die. that's why they see fully
10:28 am
reopening schools now is simply out of the question. again, essentially, i just see the millions of people in the us east coast to be want to prepare as hurricane henri approaches the storms expected to make landfall at long island in new york state. the state of emergency is in place and those in only parts of in order to get evacuation experts, they only will be the 1st hurricanes make landfall in the region. in more than 30 years. italy's tourism industry as gradually reopening after a 3rd wave of covered $91.00 ancient roman town is attracting a lot of attention, but it isn't the scenic abuse above water is growing. in some people, julian wolf picks up the story of the italian coast near naples. a roman history lesson awaits these tourists with more than 70 percent of the world's surface covered by water. this trip can only be fully appreciated by those who venture below to divert you've been up, you know, of the imagine not a,
10:29 am
it's difficult, especially for those coming for the 1st time to imagine within a few meters of water, you can find all the things you'd never be able to see anywhere else in the world. the divers loved to see very special thing. but what we can see in the park of baya is something unique coded by. this seaside village was a popular getaway for the roman empire's elite, who flocked to the famous bath houses built opulent villas and held extravagant celebrations. but over time, volcanic eruptions brought all that to an end, and about a 1000 years later, one major one left the region submerged beyond the militia. in $1538.00 to a month in a rose, then the master days. obviously an environmental disaster, huge proportions occurred because the earth rose and retreated and the sea covered what is considered upon pe the filigree and feel. all this on the water archaeological park paints a picture of great wealth,
10:30 am
palatial ruins and music floors cover the sea bed, while statues 10 meters below the water surface toward portfolio by a back to more than now. these towns move a few millimeters every year at the moment we are in the funding phase in which all remains are slowly emerging, but they will never fully emerge from the depth at which then a tire coastal strip. the submerged access to this ancient gem is only available to those who protect it. and the few who prefer to dive into the world's history books . julian wolf, al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera, these are your top stories. thousands enough can astonish, still scrambling to get out a week off.
