12:05 pm
so many families are here in the streets where we can see the fence around the airport. but yeah, middle enough, some people here have papers indicating that they've cooperated with the american forces and the united nation watson. i me to kind of what i want to. each paper includes phrases in english and have gone languages. and the people around me think that the entry visas for america. and this indicates that there may be cases of fraud to trap those who are desperately willing to leave the country. i also met some well educated people here in the street who said that there was a desire to spread chaos through rumors about how simple and easy people can enter the airport as long as they get this paper. and that's why this area here is full of chaos and confusion in atlanta as well. but not a while ago we heard the sounds of gunfire to disperse the people gathering here. and there were some attacks from some elements of the taliban who were trying to manage the scene here at the eastern gay to the airport. but whether you must have
12:06 pm
been kind of bob on the other hand, there was a long q of those people who have proper documents that will allow them to enter the airport. the rest of the people just gather chaotically because they believe in the fake papers that they have. bible algebra us a hable asa al jazeera, near the helmet cause i international airport and cobble anti taliban forces. me gains in penn, shia and that's as talks on forming a new government continue in the capital world. mcbride has more on that from campbell. have to appear in cobb all between mole about a die he is the hell of on one of the senior taliban leaders he is hearing. cobble that is due to whole talks about a transition government. again, using these watch words of inclusiveness and a government that's acceptable to all, although it may be just what that will look like. and a lot of people here are very dubious about that. but then also you're hearing reports about the nascent resistance movement. once more, it's almost a didn't have its ability here and afghan is down. the once you have one,
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
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. you 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 framework 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. and if the consequences are as dire as they are in
