of it take off, i've got to stand for the german foreign minister high call me as soon as giving his reaction to those introductory remarks while we arrange to translation. for you on miss just a quick reminder of woods sharma who could she be for a minister of pakistan was saying he said this was a good opportunity to continue discussions between european partners and pakistan. it's a pivotal movement in afghanistan. history, he said, urging the international community to remain engaged in the region and in the country. he said, humanitarian assistance must continue and he urged the international community not to allow economic collapse to take place. he said, an exodus from us on a son is in no one's interests and appealed to the international community to take

a broader look at the overall picture. the overall consequences of what my as a head's for african is on brazil, weeks in 3 year. how that message will be received by the german 4 mister high co mass. let's just bring in our correspondence. come on. hi there. who is on the pockets on africa and boards, kamala, what did you make of those remarks from the, from the foreign minister. it was striking that he really was sending a message really to the international community to not see this is the stories over as the americans leave. he clearly feels that the international community has a role to play in the region. absolutely. that had been budget on principle for addition on the issue, but god budget on know what happened in the $99.00 barton took all the world and

both sanctions, no at garage, but able to fly. and i cannot make collapse of god led to so many people crossing the border and up god not to mention the war. busy and i want it done. so, buckets on foreign minister has been urging the international community make to continue doing gauge rate. it's done because a bargaining run it's done would lead to a major crisis, which would affect not just the bread of british stage. but we're lab fake throughout the world and by get on had been urging that this time the rate of opportunity, the dollar bond, the undisputed power. and i've done right now, having a garage most of the country, a kept judge one proven. and what budgets gone was to see that this rare opportunity for bass much not a lot of that is based on not only related to have dividends for the neighboring

countries, but the world at large and a dollar bought up. cause i've already promised that they will not let the story be huge against any country neighbouring or any other country. so indeed then it an oppertunity buckets on the part and minister of gods emphasizing the fact that there was a pivotal moment in history. and that the world should not turn back on why it's done like they did in the 990. okay. come all high to live friends on the pakistan african boards. i will check in with you, lisa. come all but for now. thank you very much indeed. lives that take, you know, to cobble, we can speak with charles stratford who joins us live from there. charles has been very busy last few hours. of course we have the americans taking off from call, therefore, ending there effectively. there are 20 your presence in the country and we heard earlier for the taliban at

a press conference were spokesman said america's been defeated. the country is now independence. i just bring this up to date with what you know so far in terms of what was happening at the airports. what's going on? well, the situation is calm now. they the airport firmly under control of the taliban. we saw pictures say, of turnaround officials including their spokespersons, i'll be de la, which was i had the earlier today. very interesting to see tale. what they describe is the special forces katie doubt. jean looked at a new american equipment holding the state of the all american weapons. a real show of confidence by the child. there has been an incredibly momentous, few hours. the pictures that we saw as this audubon overnight heard the news that the last americans had left the country celebrations,

firing into the sky. things are a lot, comma here, but of course, huge questions being asked as to how the channel and what's the next stage. but for all that out about what they have to do and whether in fact they're going to be listened to by the rest of the world. certainly the top balanced p all machine is in overdrive as made, evident by some of the statements made by as of a whole lot more jacques have earlier on at the airport. let's have a listen to some of the things you have to say. no afghans will surrender to force the way americans left has gone. it's gone is a good lesson for the future generation. they were damaged financially. it's a good lesson for everyone else. it's a historic day with no doubt. it's a free country. it's a sovereign country. america was defeated, they could not achieve their targets through military operations, and on behalf of my nation, we want to have good relations with the rest of the world. so as i say,

the situation remains calm here. huge, huge questions and challenges being presented now to the taliban as to how they're going to govern this country. effectively. first on the agenda, seemingly forming of a government, which they say is going to be inclusive and include women and all the various different ethnic religious minorities in this country. that it's a question of getting hold of money money that is being frozen by western institutions. and governments, the chinese is a very real in addition to the, the security threats that are ongoing in this country. a very real threat for my so, so yeah, ton of, and have a lot of work to do ahead. it's a question of whether the west, whether the rest of the world will believe the rhetoric it is indeed and also whether the people within the country believes their rhetoric. there has been certainly a division in opinion because for those who are rules, the 20 years old,

they remember what the taliban were like when they were lost in the power given this and given the uncertainty which is clearly facing the country and its residents was moved like income right now, charles and people are waking up to this new what have they been thing? sure. well, it's very much depends on who you speak to. certainly one of the people you speak to in cobble anxious, many are afraid. they remember the total amount of yesterday is 926-2001. and they see what the west is done here in this withdrawal. and who so they say accusing western powers of not supporting the form of government and not supporting the afghan national army enough despite the accusing that government to be corrupt . they saying that the this is trail. now if you speak to us,

all of our supporters, many of which are down in the south of the country, around kandahar, and help province, the halt, land for the volleyball. well, they have the same problems with the previous government, and they are a lot more hopeful. they are willing to give the benefit of doubt. so they're all right is important to recognize that the child does have supporters in this country . but no matter who you speak to, as i say, incredible, great question. questions being asked as to whether the child can step up and make the promises that they made actually happen. okay, well, we will have to wait and see what transpires in the early days, weeks and months ahead, but for their child strong for thank you very much. as view there from kabul, let's say taking the view from america will have crossed or what has correspond to . kimberly, all kids shows no life. washington d. c. kimberly this is quite the dramatic turnaround. is it not 20 years?

american military engagement has effectively ended 9. just talk us through. this news was being relieved to the american people. well, it was her laid not only through the military leaders but also through the secretary of state, but the person that really, americans are waiting to hear from is u. s. president joe biden. and his speech that is coming in the coming hours is going to be a challenge and is really going to dictate how this war, this generation of war is going to be characterized by the american public. because up to this point, the biden administration has been losing the public relations war with the american public. not only are his republican critics about half the country angry that this,

this has happened in this manner, but his democratic supporters are also angry because they feel that this was done not only in haste, but they're upset that the bible administration essentially broke a major promise and that is, several weeks ago they said everyone who was to get out of afghanistan will be able to leave. we now know that that's not the case. in fact, we know a couple of 100 people were left behind. that is not going to play well. the other big problem, and this is something that conservative critics seem to be seeing it even more is the optics that we saw not just the american death, the american service members, which is not play well obviously, but also the optics of the taliban wearing american uniforms carrying american weapons walking through the airplane hangar, surrounded by american helicopters. this is an outrage to so many americans who are

scratching their heads saying, what did we pay for for the last 20 years? what was accomplished? the fact that the government collapse so quickly, all of the service members who were involved, but also the american public, are really struggling to make sense of. and that is what the us president is going to have to try and sort out. he's going to have to make the argument that there were achievable gains made, and that this is something that america is better off for, but he's got an uphill battle because even as the united states is making the case that this is going to be something that is going to have a diplomatic relationship moving forward that there is still going to be humanitarian aid. none of this has been explained to the us congress let alone the voting public. ok. kimberly how long for the administration to get it and see over the coming years and kimberly, thank you very much indeed. let's take you back. so i'm gonna start no way to speak

with some of in java is he's in eastern afghanistan with exclusive access to the city of gyla. but some of your, one of the 1st journalists to make it in to this part of the country was like, well, being held at the border for i was because that's the very slow the hundreds of people to get in. and there are people who are trying to get through it acquainted with this new system that they've come across the but so far we've been speaking to have been telling us the joint piece that they have seen in this area for a while. but to some truckers who told us that now they can pass through the sun and one feed on the axis and not as valid hold of a problem. and for the, for the what is people who are standing behind this, some of the fighters, i mean,

speaking to them as well and telling me that some of them are 21 years old going to one of them is 1900. he was setting up that this paul, they've seen throughout their life is suffering struggles. and finally, they think that the now for their struggles to bear fruit as they put it, they're saying that now i understand is going to be a piece of the sun. and i asked them about happy people, they have lost. what about the entities that developed throughout these is, are they able and they're willing to forgive all of that. and they say, because they can buy the higher come on, and they are going to obey. they think that it is now time to move forward, and if they continue bringing to the past, they will be able to move forward. but we, we are moving towards the city. you will all of our ever be stop thought crowds, dad, to be speaking to people on the speed they've been telling us it is. it is peaceful . there is no trouble of lawlessness perception is gone because every time they had

to pass through a checkpoint they would have to pay and they say that is one thing that they're enjoying. in fact, the ordering out there is a, has dr. extent. and the thing that there's suffering because of that there are, they cannot make hardships, but by and it will hear that this is a step 2 words. it peaceful of gone is not a cable which is run, but what do you rather than playing onto their events and then pull it up and something's better for them. okay. so i'm a big job at live for that from july about. thank you so much. sama apology for the audio quality on that live have. i'm sure yours will understand. the 1st news seems to get in c. july le buds will try and are in the technical wrinkles for you and keep bringing you more of this exclusive access to the country,

which is now under full television control. and the taliban has already said it wants to engage with other countries to rebuild afghanistan. after decades of war, but the army group faces several challenges. the recent tax couple airports claims by a iso affiliates. sure. the severe security challenges still facing the nation. and then the, the economy of canister is one of the world's poorest countries. both the u. s. and the international monetary funds of frozen it's access to billions of dollars to get this money. international communities recognition of a taliban lead government is importance. some factions off the group on runs a un sanctions, and the taliban will need the support of ass guns themselves. fears, rule, and retain a former governance officials and soldiers will speak more about this. we can bring in fulton barricades, he's the director of defense. if a conflict on humanitarian studies,

the door institution joins us by skype form. a don't get to have you with us here. on i was just 0, i've just outlined some of the challenges facing the you administration. the question is what happens next? thank you very much, halley. i think the coming few days and weeks will probably test to the limit the strength of international diplomacy. yesterday we saw the united nations resolution and the discussion that's happened and overall i think that was in the right direction. but we still have not learned the importance of language and communication with a tiny band. one thing we have got to appreciate over the last 3 years of engaging closely with them here is that they're very proud people and they don't take well to either rates or conditions. and i think there was a missing opportunity yesterday to set up those conditions. but maybe in relation

to triggers, target specific targets a time line, stepping stones, the taliban should be very clear about. but to simply request, for example, that they maintain the freedom of people to leave the country is not enough. maintain the freedom of the, of the people to leave the country on its own and it, as a humanitarian basis is, is good. but there was no commitment for them to take a silence the rest of the world. they would leave the country to, to go where and that has to go to a fear amongst, obviously the neighboring countries to, to have gotten his time because the west is encouraging people to leave. the west is not making up commitment to take those people in and already they're struggling with finding that contribute with them into those that they've left or the transitional bases. so having half solutions using the threat is not really the best way to to go about what is going on. the career crisis that's

going to face and there's something that you've eluded to earlier. there's going to face the pilot, but now is the issue of financial flow at the end of the so it's a jump in that. i mean, this has all been, it does appear to be very rushed. it appears that everyone's trying to come up with solutions on the fly. certainly from the western powers who were getting out of afghanistan, this was very, very rushed. it was done very, very quickly. everyone was taken by surprise. you could even argue that taliban themselves were taken by surprise at how quickly they were able to to, to be take the entire country. these discussions and negotiations are going to be important as you've said, but but, but what forum for discussion is there because if the international community still can't decide on whether or not they recognize the taliban, are willing to engage with them. i mean, what other solutions are there?

is there a role for other nations to play and continuing these negotiations or not just this basic step even begin to happen. i think there is and there should be one because isolating them entirely could only lead to worse and situation. and you can think, i can think of many stretched to the region and maybe to the world that could come as a result of isolating them entirely. one would be maybe they could in order to raise fund, they could sell the equipment they've inherited from the united states. and that weapon which will then spread across the region. they could easily go back on their promises about countering and architects in the region. stopping the exports of drugs, they could explore young men to become fighters elsewhere and so on. so there are, there are lots of threats and i think real dangerous it,

not engaging. now to come back to engaging, i think there's, there is an opportunity the, the international continue to continue to speak as much as possible in the united voice yesterday. res. so that china and russia disagreed some of their disagreements, i think, were very legitimate points. others are a bit of self interest, but in general, if the g 7, for example, could come up as a g 7 plus including a country like katara, which has played a central role over the last few years. and they could easily host a continuation of, of the talks between the taliban, the genetic community. because now we reached a stage where the interests of the international community and that of the people of guns that have become closely aligned. it's all about human rights of women and society, respect of freedoms and so on. and it offers who really important opportunity to do

is to do so now. ok, i'll come back in a 2nd. you did mention the rule that catherine could plea and in the country. foreign minister sheriff, mohammed's been a month on, he says he is in tones with the taliban. about mister in the airport. he's saying that what is a, what is clear? is the the taliban. the do not want to see a foreign security presence in the airports or their territory, answering that what we're trying to explain to them is that airport safety and security requires a lot more than securing the perimeters of the airports. so there is, it's certainly a recognition them for, from cancer that they're willing to help with them. but, but also if you like some ton, but it's just exposing that the scale of the challenge that lies the heads for the taliban. if they're having to explain that running, the airport is more than just making sure you've got men with guns outside the. i

said the perimeter fence, i mean this is going to be a long projects. is it not sure, but the airport, to be honest, maybe the importance of a porch is it's a bit exaggerated to do you tickets within the context of the larger country where the population centers are the need for food and fuel to be transported. and so it is important, but it's not the main crisis in the short term. it's very important though, in the short term well, very important in terms of getting fruits and humanitarian medical aids in the country. while you can only get to drop in the ocean through lift, what the real aid has to come through borders crossing points, and that is what is required. now, there is a threats to production have dropped by about 40 percent over the last few months and the continued due to the drought. you can't lift all of this.
