without power fight for their rights. brazil's indigenous people prepared to take on the mining lobby to protect their lands. ah, to scan a san straightaway where evacuation from the capitol cobble is taking place under the threat of attack, a fire fight has been reported between an identified gunman, western security forces, and afghan guards at the north gate of cobble airport. one africa guard has reportedly been killed and 3 others were injured. cobble airport has been the focus of course of the military in crisis there over the last week or so since the taliban took over the afghan capital. indeed, the country a week ago, rob mcbride join sleif from cobble. so rob was saying here an afghan god is that a taliban person than everybody's done clear at this stage?
10:02 am
exactly what took place, but this was at the north gate of the airport. this is one of the gates where many people who have secured a seats on the evacuation flights, possibly they have special visas, or civilians who are connected with previous military missions here. and i've kind of sound they are told to go to what we understand is that there was some sort of confrontation of fire fight ensued involving us forces german army soldiers and also afghans. now it's not clear at this stage whether this was african taliban or african security. what we do now is reported by the germans, is that an armed african man was killed and several others were injured. so we're not quite sure exactly who was involved from the african side, but it does show you some of the volatility at the airport that you have all of these heavily on the units with different areas of responsibility around the airport, both inside and outside,
10:03 am
a volatile crowd of people pressing to get into the airport. so we do, it is all very dangerous mix. and we have seen incidents like this happen in the past week. and this seems to be another incident. so we're still waiting to see exactly what the circumstances were. in the meantime, another development that's been taking place. we believe it this started sunday, but he's certainly continuing today monday. and that's the deployment by the taliban. of a new force of its soldiers. this is the back 3313. now this is if you like a taliban special forces. they are back to praying that they actually look rather like a special forces in terms of uniform, a weapons. they carry and helmets as the us and nato allies. they all special forces in that regard, and they have not been deployed where the idea that they might be able to push the perimeter further out from the actual gates and wall of the airport to extend it
10:04 am
further to take some of the pressure off. now the, the ordinary taliban, they are still the taliban fighters who been trying wrestling to try to keep control and firing off follies of shots. they are still there and they are still firing the occasional shops and some of a taliban, a wandering around with canes and width casually trying to clear people what that massive the way if you like, but these special forces it is hoped maybe we'll restore it a little more older that one of our producers was down early, monday to see them take over that duties and responsibilities. but they do remain just as camera shy, it seems produced to try to get his phone out and was told by some of the war to salads. and fruit you sell as he was standing next. you better put that away because if they see you, they get a smashed your phone. and in fact they said people were telling produces that yesterday sunday, a woman took her phone out and was spotted filming. and she was given a beating and we understand as well, rob gets up to date on this development as
10:05 am
a contingent of taliban heading out of the province of cobbled, perhaps the city of cobbled to take on members of the northern alliance. yeah, this is, well this is the northern alliance, 2.0. if you like this. this is the pantry valley, which is the traditional home of resistance to the taliban. it was 25 years ago in the late ninety's width. sha masoud. he was a regarded as a g, a resistance hero who fought against the taliban. his son was in cobble and that's cobble fell, and the government fell. he moved without the remnants of the of the government, other ministers and also units who still wanted to fight the taliban. the natural place to go to was the time she valley. so they have taken up. they've hold up in the pansy valley and this is, if you're like this starts of a possible resistance, but it remains to be. it's just how serious it will be. we understand that
10:06 am
masoud, the son has been in negotiations with the taliban. and there's been a lot of speculation that he was going to pledge allegiance, he was going to put down his arms and say, we are not going to fight the latest we have. is it in a phone conversation sunday with senior taliban leaders? he said he's not interested in working with the taliban, and it does seem as though he wants to continue the resistance. now, what does that mean over at this stage? we're not quite sure, but the taliban have moved that to the past year. that does seem to be some kind of standoff and everybody to be seeing how it develops. but this resistance force, it's not that stronger, especially compared with the northern alliance of a couple of decades ago. you're talking about 2002500 soldiers perhaps. and also in the neighboring province of baghdad, where this force claimed to have taken 3 districts of the taliban. that was a start of the fight back. what we've done here that the taliban have regained. those districts brought many things. talk to you later,
10:07 am
