couple time military c. 17 to come from the airport plains last taliban, celebrated on the grains with signs of gun, far echoing across cobble will in a moment, sold zones. kimberly hall curt, she's long for us in washington. d. c. katrina, you is in beijing. first, let's have to cobble. you can speak with charles stratford, you have all the very latest developments flores, charles america's gone. the taliban are in charge. what have they been saying this morning? well, some incredible pictures. we've seen filled at the airport where we understand with taliban special forces they're wearing pretty much state of the art american kitch holding new american rifles are what looked to be american rifles and they were there with ton of on officials. yes, the morning after this historical event,
11:03 am
the withdrawal of us nato forces the title about p all machine at least very much still in full swing, trying to convince both kinds on the rest of the world that this movement, this organization has changed, that it will make inclusive governments is aware of the very diverse needs of the various ethnic minorities, religious minorities, women in this country. let's have a listen to what the chief spokesperson said during his visit to the apple this morning. and his calamity shot. but let me know, afghans will surrender to force the way americans left us gone. this done 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 doubts. it's a free country. it's a sovereign country, america was defeated. they could not achieve their target through military
11:04 am
operations. and on behalf of my nation, we want to have good relations with the rest of the world. i will tell very dramatic events last night. of course i have people reacting to the same problem, but it depends on who you speak to the people we've spoken to out in the streets this morning. a very mine that we do. obviously, we're filming these people. so their own camera, they're very aware that they could well be look, chat, but i large most of them are relieved that this chapter is over. they all whole heartedly are very critical of the previous government. they say that it was corrupt that it mismanaged the finances of this country that let it down a path that was untenable. and they, the people suffered under it so many of them blame the west, but not supporting that government or not. so putting enough pressure on that government for it to change. they also blame the west, but not supporting the
11:05 am
a and a the afghan army in defending against the taliban. but a lot of them all about it body quite hopeful that their biggest concern at the moment is that the taliban are not going to be believed by the rest of the world. which would obviously leave this country isolated and very short of money. we know that billions of dollars worth of funds is being frozen in us banks. the world bank and the mass of also frozen funding. people want to now pick up and restart their lives. as we saw those pictures of people queuing at the bank, i mean many of these people withdrawing. what effectively is the last salary from a government as a say that they accused of being corrupt and incompetent. so they just hopeful, frankly, that the child stick by words and can convince the rest of the world to give them a chance and move forward. because yeah, to put it mildly, this country isn't
11:06 am
a potentially catastrophic situation financially. and there are huge security concerns as well. and it will evidence will suggest the top of our will probably need international support in order to deal with those security challenges to ok to start for their life. her as income hotels. thank you very much for bucky stone, which already hosts more than 2000000 african refugees is preparing for war. the government had caused some border crossings with a canister. on short, they asked the taliban takeover, but over the past few days, thousands of people have been trying to cross the border focused on a foreign minister. the pakistani foreign minister rather says the international community must do more to help rebuild afghanistan. this is it favorites a moment and a fall as fans, history. the international community must remain engaged.
11:07 am
humanity in assistance must flow. do not let the economic collapse in a finest on business. vacuum is in nobody's interest. instability is nobody's interest. exit, if a refugees will not, cannot be stopped within the reach of will. china has been urging the international community to engage with the taliban and respects have got a sense of urgency. the jane along with russia abstained from the un security council vote on monday, urging safe passage for us guns who wish to leave the country. life nights, katrina, you who's in beijing for as a katrina. the chinese foreign ministry has held it's very press conference to be learn and the thing format about the situation in afghanistan and the road ahead for the country. well, nothing new from the aging that they don't just reiterated. it's dawn speeding
11:08 am
itself echoed these kind of optimistic turns that we've been hearing from kabul aging foreign ministry spokesperson hailed this day as a new chapter and have gone this done history and a chance the i've gone people to go forward without any interference from foreign forces china, on its own pod going forward, pledged 3 things. it said it would continue its own approach and non interference. it said it would help with the economic reconstruction of the country. and thirdly, it said it would help with allowing, i've gone on to become a member of the international community. now, bagels had its own wish list. you could say, 1st of all, it said it hoped that the taliban would form a moderate and inclusive government. and this point is very important, it said that it hope the government enough gone us. i would also help to fight groups that china considered to be terrorists. specifically, the east tug on islamic ribbon, which is associated with weak separatists,
11:09 am
which china considers very much a severe threat to its own security moving forward than china. so that had very strong well lecture and sort of woods for the international community, especially for the us and so that it was against any withholding of funds. international sanctions, anything that would really antagonize the tele bond and prevent put, trying to cool would consider a smooth transition. and for the us, well, china, very much pointed fingers and blame the chaotic situation in afghanistan at the moment on what it says is a hasty withdrawal of us forces. it said that this moment in history proved that the u. s. imposing its lauren values, democratic values on other countries would be doomed to fail. those were the words from the foreign ministry spokesperson. and he said that this was not time to turn back and just just run away. he that the u. s. and other countries need to take stock of the situation and correct the mistakes at china's,
11:10 am
as china sees it. what china would like to see is the u. s. and other countries play an active role in guiding the taliban contributing humanitarian support, economic support. even china, very much has not drawn any conclusions yet. it's not recognised the taliban of the official government in the country, but it is very much giving them the benefit of the doubt. i think been beijing's approach right now is to give the taliban space and a chance to prove itself going forward. and it's watching very closely as to what it does next. ok, continue their life reson paging. thank you, trina. well, united states embassy and campbell has suspended all operations saying on its website that while the u. s. government has withdrawn its parson out from cobble. we will continue to assist us citizens and their families in afghanistan from doha, qatar, and white as course when that kimberly hall kits joins is now from washington. d. c
11:11 am
. kimberly, i appreciate is very, very early in the morning where you are, but this is certainly been a dramatic turn of events. what do you think is likely to be the reaction when americans wake up to discover that that 20 year mission enough ganna sun has ended overnight? well, many americans were watching it as it was unfolding in the late hours of the evening . so some are already aware and others are going to wake up to the news regardless of when they find out the majority of americans are. 2 a bit confused about what the 20 years was all about. they're confused for so many reasons. number one, they didn't like the images that they saw, the television screens and on their smartphones in recent weeks,
11:12 am
not only americans dead, but the fact that the taliban, the some of the latest pictures projected was wearing american uniforms carrying american weapons that they were walking through airplane hangers that were well talk you pied by americans and so that is perplexing. add to that, the broken promise from the biden administration, that every person that wished to leave every vacuum from afghanistan would be able to leave, turned out to be an empty promise. it wasn't historic evacuation, more than a 100000 people, but at the same time several 100 were left behind. and that is something that the administration bout wouldn't happen and it did. and so this is the challenge for the u. s. president the coming hours he will be speaking to the nation, talking about the next step forward, justify his decision to stick to that august 31st withdrawl date. even as both his republican critics and democratic supporters urged him to perhaps go with his
11:13 am
initial deadline and that was the anniversary the 20th anniversary of the september 11th attacks, so that every one could be evacuated. but the us president stood firm on august 31st and now he has to justify to the public exactly why this is potentially harmful for the president. politically. there are mid term elections coming up and then of course, americans remember this sort of thing comes time to the presidential election. so this is going to be a very important speech for the us president because he's going to make the case that it is the desire and in the american interest to have a relationship with the taliban moving forward. that is diplomatic, that this is necessary in order to get through a 3rd party deliver humanitarian aid. and also that there is an american interest in ensuring and working with the taliban in order to see the remaining americans are evacuated from that country. but again, this is going to be a difficult case to make given the mood of the electorate in the united states
11:14 am
right now. ok, kimberly, how can i live for washington d. c. kimberly. thank you very much indeed. well, let's take you back. so i'm gonna stand no, i'll just there is some of in java said july about with exclusive access to the city where they have been where, but large process, they're against the taliban since it's captured couple. earlier this month, we've been held at the border for hours because the process is very slow. the hundreds of people to get in. and there are people who are trying to get through acquainted with this new system is they've come across. but so far we've been speaking to would have been telling us that they're drawing the piece that they have seen in this area for a while. but to some truckers who told us that now they can foster on the sun and one feed on the exit. and that is valid all the way to cobble and for the for the
11:15 am
what is people who are standing behind the sciences. i mean, speaking to them as well and telling me that some of them are 21 years old. $1.00 to $1.00 of them is 1900. he was setting that all they've seen throughout their life is suffering struggles. and finally, they think that the now for their struggles to bear food, they put it there saying that now son is going to be a son. and i asked them about happy people, they have lost. what about the entities that developed throughout these is, are they able and they are willing to forgive all of that. and they say, because they just taken by the higher command and they are going to obey. they think that it is now time to move forward. and continue thinking to the past, they will be able to move forward. but we, we are moving towards the city. a lot of our they ever be stopped. not crowds, dad, to be speaking to people on the speed they've been telling us it is. it is peaceful,
11:16 am
there is no trouble of lawlessness. corruption 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. i don't the, in fact the ordering town is because it has dr. anything that there's buffering because of that the article on hardship. but by and here feel that this is a step to words. it piece will have gone, is not a stable depending which is run by what he rather than playing onto there is event once and then pull it is going to of in something better for the fella hands on alex's era will continue the coverage of the leases development, again, it's done on global reactions for the 1st day. i
11:17 am
i, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by cut on airways. hello there. we've seen some very wet weather in spain over the past few days, with the wrench, rain affecting the southeast. and that's cause flash flooding in parts of valencia . now, one of the provinces there recorded record rainfall for august on sunday with 150 millimeters falling in 24 hours. now one tuesday, the rain dust continued is going to be rather widespread by the time we get to wednesday with some of the heaviest showers affecting madrid. you're going to see things cool down the temperature is going to dip down as the rain kicks and by the time we get to thursday. now elsewhere, we still got wet and windy weather clinging on to the east. that thanks to those slow moving weather systems. they're going to raise some very heavy rains to southern parts of germany and poland, where we have got red alert south. and as we go into, wouldn't say they're going to push out towards the east. so wet weather for the
11:18 am
baltics and western parts of russia. further north, though it is looking fine and dry for much of scandinavia with some showers in the north of norway and from britain an island. we've got plenty of cloud with drizzle coming through, but there is still a lot of walls to be found across the southern areas of europe. and for the north of africa, we are seeing a lot of warms in the north of libya that your update sponsor, cut on airways, on air or online, be part of the debate, or pacific people. the ocean is our identity and the source of well being. we are the, when no help, they get off the table. it says shooting. atmosphere. people are demoralized, they're exhausted and many health care workers are experiencing p t f. d like symptom. jump into this dream and julian global community. if you're online on youtube right now, you can be part of this conversation as well. this stream announces era,
11:19 am
ah ah ah, i'll just have a quick reminder of the top stories for you know, the taliban has taken control of kopel international air force iris after the last american soldiers fruit of a gun. the son says it won't stablish good relations with the international community. withdrawal of the us troops smocks the end of america's longest war, 20 year presence in afghanistan, the 17 transport they took off a couple airports just before midnight's local time. yes, actually said anthony, blinking says washington will work with the new african government if it's american
11:20 am
national interest. yeah. did any taliban says are for legitimacy and support will have to be earned while the taliban has taken control of a couple airports. 0 correspondence. so her boss was there and here's what he saw and the 100 of them above where we are now able to enter the airport. we will head straight to the terminal, access into the building was impossible in the past few days, and heavy and no more collier. this is the main terminal. everything looks silent and still in this part some yes, troops used to keep watch over the past week. now, and this is the departure terminal at how much cars i international airport time it because i don't, he had, he had the edge. is it the fossil, any insight, the search and security devices are all out of order? the terminal is totally empty. all the display screen are smashed and dropped to
11:21 am
the ground of about a lot of you have done that, the fair and fair and his tears to the upper level is blocked for he had better mall up at the moment. so it seems this was done on purpose. however, the entire upper level is also empty. as you can see, i mean i by a rotten with any yonah for be on her head. now we are on the roof of the terminal and he had he thought and we can see some commercial plains on the ground. they belong to the gun. the airlines have them that the taliban has already said it wants to engage with other countries to rebuild afghanistan. after decades of war, that the ons group faces several challenges. the recent attacks of council airports claims by and i still affiliates show the severe security challenge is still facing the nation. and as the economy, i've kinda found this one of the world's poorest countries of the us and the international monetary funds frozen. it's access to billions of dollars to get this
11:22 am
money international communities recognition of a taliban lead. government is importance. some factions of the group are under un sanctions, and the taliban will need the support of afghans who fear it will retain former government, soldiers, and officials. while the things i, as in ghana, found about future holds for the nation. sullivan says the government will be in 9th, in the coming days. here it is a historic day. we proud to have reached this day. we congratulate the people, the arabs and all muslims. we are finding, gain, our freedom and independence. the future will be bright. now we will have peace and stability as the government will take shape in the coming few days. it's too early to speak about who will be part of it, but we have covered about 90 to 95 percent and will announce the final outcome in the coming days. well, if in fulton bar account since the director of the center for
11:23 am
a conference on humanitarian studies at too high institutes, joyce, bye skype from though ha, i get to have you with us. again. we are hearing that the future will be bright as the but the challenges are enormous. are they not? there certainly are. and i think the, the few weeks and months coming will probably she has going in one direction or the other. the situation and understand is extremely delicate and the international community has got to exercise it the maximum of its diplomacy and wisdom in managing the situation at the moment. as we saw, as we said earlier, locating and having an embargo on the taliban that may not end up as constructive if not actually may be, deter mental to,
11:24 am
to these, to the whole region and many aspects. but also the image is finding and difficult to recognize as a state under the leadership of the taliban. so a lot depends on the coming few days and how the taliban approached the issue of government so far. it's been a positive indication that they have not announced the a moderate as it was in 1996 and they have not have removed more of the national flags. they have approached the local communities with various type of consultations, their leaders, their statements have tried to assure people of their rights, particularly women. this morning they called on schools and universities to go back to work the ministry of public health and mr. dictation women and those ministries have been encouraged to go back to their work. so the rhetoric and the 1st steps are all in the,
11:25 am
in the right direction. the difficulty i think is going to be about financial. so because by, by today they have to pay 900000 civil servants. i don't know how many, maybe 302350004 my army and police who are on salaries. so there's an enormous bill to be paid for, for these individuals who behind each individual, there's a family of 6 or 7. so the cash flow is good to be g to the success of this transition. and i think there is, there is a need for the poly bag to show immediately some further commencement on the grounds, but also the international community should adjust its conditions and make them link to a specific targets and maybe do it in a gradual way. so that if they release certain amount of resources so that the
11:26 am
government can prove it's, well, why would they do further steps? why would they do that? why should the international community just release all the money to the taliban as a, is the fed? it's dependent on commitments. it's dependent on human rights. they want to judge the taliban by their actions, not their words. why should they just start hands again? money before they've seen what kind of governments and what kinds of administration? and what kind of regime the taliban ponce's fun to bring in? well, i'm not saying they should hand over all the money. i mean there is already about $9500000000.00 in the the state reserves that is being held back. but it is important this, these groups, how are they going to move forward and our, they're going to demonstrate to the rest of the work that they have, the ability to respect, say, women's rights. they don't have the ability to run the ministries. and we all know that we know that there is an enormous capability and capacity. the leaders that
11:27 am
you see speaking many of them spend the best time of the years in prison. the level of education of exposure, of ability to, to communicate with the rest of the world is not enormous is not, is not really sufficient. and i think they need to work with the rest of the gowns the they have done next me well, so far in terms of preserving institutions, they've not gone to lou james the structure, you know, the scenes that we saw in baghdad when the americans into the baghdad, this is the huge contrast to that. now, they can only go that much with the resources with the way of thinking where the capabilities were the capacities they have, but they do need international help and support. just to give you a very small example, you know, the air traffic controllers who fled the airports 1st of the 1st shot,
11:28 am
they crippled the whole space and they have no ability to replace them. so they need the support of the nicer community, not just financial. i think technical, i believe that you should step in now that there is a un resolution, but they need to do it in a way that really, really differs in terms of language and attitude, with a greater degree of understanding to the sensitivity culture sensitivity that exist someone's a school, you know, the whole, the whole date if you recall, it used to be the 1st of may that was negotiated between them and the americans for the final withdrawal. and the americans came with the buying 11 as an alternative date. and the symbolism and that was totally rejected by the group. and they ended up negotiating 31st of august. so it's not about having more time. it's about how you communicated it's symbolism. it's about culture, it's about respect. and i,
11:29 am
i genuinely believe the more we approach them with this sort of objective rational and to some extent, impartial as much as possible. the greater we can help them reform and the greater the benefit for the people who kind of stuff and just quickly. so given the cultural sensitivities that play and the need for understanding who you are negotiates in words, would you say there's a greater role for engagement and negotiation with course regional partners? or is this something that really should continue wave, for example, the united states quickly if you wouldn't mind? well, of course that is it, is it all for a reason of partners to today? and there are 2 types of regional partners that you have. cuts out, for example, which has to can an impartial role and has proven it's worth in terms of being a venue for, for mediation and, and negotiation with the group. and with the other i've got leaders and then you
11:30 am
have the regional parties or countries that may bring, i've got to stop. those state must be part of the picture because you say that the un resolution last night, it calls on the taliban to allow people to flee by doesn't call on the engine as your community to take them on as refugees. so they, if they do leave the country, they're going to end up the responsibility of nobody in countries and this is most likely to be boxed on and iran. ok, a very important points at maids that will come back up. we'll have to leave at that. but thank you so much for providing your analysis on the current situation in afghanistan. we appreciate it. ah, this is al jazeera and these are the headlight.
