we've seen pictures of what it's all about described was there, special forces keeps you out in what we believe american uniforms carrying american weapons. we've seen them walking around amongst some of the destroy buildings. evidence that the american kid that has been left behind some incredible aircraft, including small light aircraft and helicopters. i'm very much talking about i'm still trying to convince both afghans and the rest of the world, but they have changed. asking for everybody to give them a chance frankly, a new day begins, a new chat of african history begins. we had one of the chief spokesmen. subbing for mosier here who was speaking to the press down on the airport tom back a few hours ago. let's listen to what he had to say, and he's going to tell me,

no afghans will surrender to force the way americans left afghanistan 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 targets through military operations. and on behalf of my nation, we want to have good relations with the rest of the world. so given all this change that's been happening, charles, i mean, how has this news being received on the streets of cobble what it very much depends on who you speak to. hello. it's important to recognize this out about do have a support they said most especially in the south of the country and element province around kandahar, which is the birthplace of the movement. but even here speaking to people on the streets to j everything. one thing that most people who support that's not about to do not support them say,

is that they was sick and tired of what they describe as the former government was corrupt and mismanaged the country's financial affairs for years. but if you speak to the oppositions of all those people who are against the top, there are still residual phase there. they are concerned that the child will not act on the promises the commitments that they have made with respect to saying, for example, that there will be no reprisals against people who have worked with the western media that that will be, for example, a free and open press that that will be an inclusive government government that we understand the talk about lead is still talking about in cobble and trying to pull together as a say something that is inclusive and representative of the ethnic diversity and religious diversity of this country. including women as well, but then you speak to the supporters and they are frankly saying a similar thing about the government,

but they are very relieved that the americans have gone. nato forces have gone the challenge. now they say is that which one of on convinced the rest of the world that they can deliver on these promises. because of course, without peace and stability in this country, not only affects gone storm, but the wider region and indeed the wide world. so there is this concern as to the degree to which the west will eventually engage will or will not engage with the new leaders of this country. ok, tell us that for their life, for some koppel. thank you. charles had no to eastern afghanistan. we can join us on the ben java's who has exclusive access to the city or july about the summer. what's the move like after 2 weeks of taliban rule night, but this is of course, the 1st time we're able to get into the city to report what are people saying

we are still on the way to do all of the we've been crossing military installations . the armies have american heart in the hands of fell a bond vices and we've been moving along with them. there are people who we've met on the way who told us that they are relieved that now the american forces are gone . they relieve that there wouldn't be lawlessness. there will be peace in their area. have you been speaking to thought about fighting as well? who's been telling us about the situation that they face under what they called us occupation. the baton who was driving the vehicle was telling us that he was kept in solitary confinement in background base for 9 years. and they were telling us that they have been fighting this more for 20 years with very few resources. so it is a day where at least all the power button sites as they've been speaking to are very happy. they say their struggles have come to fruition, and now they will be established to be able to establish their brand of their

country the way they want. to run them and i've been asking them about what is the role of people who came out in this field to protest in general about what really be the role of them and, and they say so far what they've been told is respect everyone. make sure that there is not the oppression which takes place at their hand and they need to be kind to everyone. and that is something which was noticeable on the way we passed several checkpoints, where the thought of on fighters will stop this. they were courteous, they said they wanted to know what their identity was. even the taliban who were driving the lead vehicle. they were asking them for identities and kind of the thing that now they are in charge. they now have to set up systems to avoid any sort of activity which goes against what they believe. and especially because it needs to have gone to some that has been a large and profession of various groups, including the affiliate, as well as the focus on, you know, the tcp and other and all of the things that now they will establish

a system with which all of these elements will be brought under their control. everybody will have to abide by the system of justice, whatever it is. and the, some we understand there were protests in the city over as of july, but i understand that you're not able to get into jail all about yet. but has anyone been talking to you about whether it's happened to those process but then we stopped in the roadside. we spoke to people who got there to see what was happening. gap to bear in mind that this is the 1st international media team which is entered via the land borders afterthought of under control. in about 2, it's just about 2 weeks ago. and especially on the day where the us forces are, are, have pulled out. people are curious, people have been telling us about their problems. they say the trade has dried up in the last 2 weeks. so obviously the economic hardships,

they are the situation i'm afraid we appear to have lost the site and on the summer been a job job there. unfortunately, we're going to try and get that by care. you will understand of course they are on the roads. very tricky. to get a signal that but we will check back in with a found a bon jovi later during the day for an idea. let's move on to come on. hi there. he's joining us from the telecom crossing in pakistan. that's along the boards or with, with afghanistan, come all, of course a crucial location. they're given that now the airport is closed. many africans are turning to the land routes i of the country. but interestingly, the, the pakistani foreign minister was speaking earlier because this crisis is, of course of concern to pakistan. what was he saying this morning,

and how does this tie into the, the general picture where you are of all you have to understand that know what the trend rates were, which was the water of water on they were jones strike into buckets on a get it today by us drones targeting out of kind of fight guys, 80000 bargain on age were killed in that wall. a $150000000000.00 worth of economic losses. so the withdrawal of foreign forces from one that's done very certainly come as a relief to march by august on 8th of august, the foreign minister of gods had been stressing towards the government that did is dire. this is time crucial, time drain gage with that dollar bond and not do a bond and a dollar bond. let's hear what he had to say. this is favorite moment in a fall as fans, history. the international community must remain engaged. humanity

in assistance must flow. do not let the economic collapse enough honest on this vacuum is in nobody's interest. instability, is it nobody's interest exit. if a properties will not cannot be stop within the reach of budget on the interior minister has already said that so far finger refugee had been registered. although we have been looking at the bar dash the trail going normally a garage door and a large number of people crossing i've been balls, which i've got a group that bought it in the south. but most of those people coming into budget on coming have all medical treatment coming here because the relatives and the pockets on your daughter data saying that although they were apprehensive earlier that the

us read draw and the read instead of one is on word for a huge agular drove off on that didn't happen, but the line borders will be crucial because there are still a number of for and they didn't, did reduce nationality, did need to get out of law. it's done and budgets done. obviously relapse to play a crucial role in order to explode. and the way once gabriella bought started operating and obviously the border crossing i bought spin, bulldog, and tor cannot hide their life on the pockets and asking for to thank you very much . come all, well, the united states embassy in kabul has suspended all operations saying on its website that while the u. s. government has withdrawn its personnel from kabul. we will continue to assist us citizens and their families in afghanistan from doha, qatar let said street so white house correspondent, kimberly hall kits. she joins us now from washington. d. c. kimberly. these have

been remarkable events that have unfolded over the last 10 or 12 hours or so. is this so be received in the us? not. well, americans are confused or angry. and this includes members of congress on both sides of the aisle, both republican critics of the us president joe biden, and also his democratic supporters. there's confusion as they see the images of the taliban wearing american soldiers uniforms carrying american weapons and walking through an airport. clearly, still filled with american helicopters, this is something that is very hard for the ordinary voting public to understand what the last 20 years was about, what these billions of dollars paid for, given the collapse of the, of the african government that happens so rapidly. and so quickly and now in the hands of the taliban control, there is confusion about the path forward and that's why the us president joe biden

has a very tough speech ahead of him. one that is likely to be really a test of his presidency, explaining to the american public why he chose to stand firm with that august 31st withdraw date one that both republicans and democrats did not like because the bind it ministration broke. a very critical promise to the american public in that is that all americans in afghanistan, they said, if they wanted to get out, they would be able to get out. we now know that a number of americans, a couple of 100 at least were left behind. and so that is something that the president is going to have to answer for. add to that the diplomatic relationship that it says it wants to have with the taliban moving forward is also perplexing for the united states voting public as a whole. because there is some concern about the treatment of women, the human rights concerns. and while the biden administration says this diplomatic

relationship will have to be earned, there is skepticism that there is any sort of capability of. and finally, the, the other concern and all of this is whether or not the humanitarian aid that the united states says is destined for the africa people. and will be filtered in through 3rd parties. whether or not that will actually get to those that need it. most and so there's confusion there skepticism and this makes it a very difficult challenge for joe biden, because the political fall out if he is not able to convince the public could mean potentially that he could, it could cost him reelection. so this is something that he has to navigate carefully and so all eyes will be watching joe biden in the coming hours. ok, kim, they hung their life is in washington. d. c. thank you very much. kimberly. well, china has been urging the international community to engage with the taliban and

respect of ghana stand sovereignty along with russia. it abstained from the un security can support on monday, urging safe passage for afghans to leave the country. katrina, you has this update from beijing. china said it had a very strong well lecturing sort of woods for the international community, especially for the us. it said that it was against any withholding of funds. international sanctions, anything that would really antagonize the tele bond and prevent which one 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 origin 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 said that the u. s. and other countries need to take stock of the situation and correct the mistakes that china's 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 draw 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. having 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. so i had here and i was sarah. we'll continue our coverage of the latest developments. i told ghana stan global reactions to the 1st day of taliban vill ah

hello there. we've seen some heavy rain across indonesia as we look to south east asia, and that resulted in some flash flooding in south silhouette. the. we had flood waters up to 2 meters deep in places and it's not only here. we've also seen similar situations in north sea march where we've had land slides and mud flows. many houses have been destroyed and the weather continues on wednesday, but some of the heavier falls in the south of sumatra as well as borneo, you can see the yellow peaks there. i once again on thursday, it's going to be silly wessy and the philippines that see some of those heavy downpours. we could see some flooding in areas here. but it's a different story as we move down to a stranger with a lot of fine and dry weather across the north is a lot of heat. as one is in the southeast, we are seeing some unusual heat here for the wet weather. we have to go to the

coastal areas of queensland and into perth because we got a weather system that sweeping into the west. going to bring the temperature down and introduce quite a bit of wet weather here. moving across the bite now headed this, we are seeing a lot of warmth in this se for victoria and has mania and have a look at the 3 day for hobo we are going to see a lot of sunshine by thursday with a temperature touching the mid twenties, that your update, the news, the stories that need to be told, find away and demand to be heard, the opening, the window into another light, and challenging perception and personal endeavors in epic struggle with the colossal sacrifices in individual journey witness showcase it inspiring

documentary the change the word on al jazeera. oh, the me this is al jazeera quick um, i know the top story. see, you know, the taliban has taken control of cobble international airports. i was after the last american soldiers for over canister on the group sense it wants to establish good relations with the international community. that withdrawal of us troops march the end of america, longest war 2 twins, your presence in afghanistan, the last see 17 transport plane ticket form compo, airports just before midnight. local time. us secretary of state anthony blanket

says washington will work with the afghan government if it's service, american, national interest. yeah. did any taliban stuff for legitimacy and support will have to be earned. well, as we have been saying, the taliban has not taken control of the comp will airport i'll to 0 correspondence to have i said it was fair. 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 the only had he had the edge. is it 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

the ground of about a lot of you have done the fair and fair and his tears to the upper level is blocked for he does mall of the moment, so it seems this was done on purpose. however, the entire upper level is also empty, as you can see button within your home for be on her head. now we are on the roof of the terminal any heavy he thought and we can see some commercial planes on the ground. they belong to the gun. the airlines haven't met any need. well, that's the situation in the airport. let's take you to kandahar we've just managed to seen these pictures and i used to taliban fighters celebrating in kandahar. and of course, as the southern city, which is the birthplace of the movements, taliban said it already a wants to engage other countries to rebuild afghanistan after decades of war. at

the on group faces several challenges. the recent attacks accomplish airports claimed by an eyesore affiliates shows the severe security challenges so facing the nation and the economy. kind of standard, one of the world's poorest countries, both the u. s. and the international monetary fund fuson is access to billions of dollars to get this money. the international community is recognition of a taliban lead. government is importance. but remember that some factions off the group bar on the un sanctions the telephone will need the support of africans to the fears will retain former government, soldiers and officials. well, there's san valencia and i've got a son about what the future holds for the nation. the taliban says the government will be announced in the coming days that here it is a story the 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 and we will have peace and stability as the government will take shape in the coming few days. is 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. that's been in fulton barracks. he's the director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the high institutes. johnson skype form, doha. good to have you back with us again. i just start late from the colleges that the taliban face and the in the future. where do you think this goes from here? well, i think the immediate challenge facing them is now to continue to secure the capital and to ensure stability across the country. as you know, there are enormous challenges. some are security related. they need to start this

arming a groups disarming their own fighters in certain areas, working on programs for the mobilization of fighters and of the many, tens of thousands of former army, pleased to require a degree of reform. so that in the security agenda there is a lot to be done politically and certainly i think the main challenge now is to reach an agreement with the northern alliance or the groups within the lions who have declared resistance to to the transition and power that is taking place and they have specific demands to do with the decentralization respects of i'm a chance or with history and so on. and in terms of practicality, i think the humanitarian situation in the country is a radio on an edge at the moment. i know the international community has been very much focused on the airport, but the airport is on the one small part of what is taking place nationally and

given the drought to we understand that 40 percent of food production internally has, has dropped. so there will be need for humanitarian assistance to ensure people in the short term don't suffer, but also medium term as they enter winter. that is enough supply of food in the country. and all of this is wrapped into the need to have the financial flow. i mean the, in, at the moment the local currency is on run down in terms of for the evaluation. and they, there hasn't been payments of service the situation from 996 to now has changed incredibly. and i think the probably by the same way, they were surprised in the speed in which they into the city. i think they need to praise them. so for re or shock of the do all the difference in context and the

requirements for government that were not there. and $99.00 to $6.00. okay. well counselors, foreign minister shake mohammad been absorbed my son. he says he isn't told that the taliban of restarting cobble airports. he said, what is a clear, tell about objections that they don't want to see a full insecurity presence in the airports or in their territory. he says, what we're trying to explain to them is that airports, safety and security requires a lot more than securing the perimeters of the airport. i know you just said that you don't think that the airports as the international community have been focused on a lot. and there are bigger challenges, but that comment from the country foreign minister is quite revealing it, in terms of, you know, securing the airports, is more than stationing people outside and having the airport isn't just about letting people fly in a night. it's about ensuring trees continues,

ensuring goods come in and ice off the country and given the terrain that you're dealing with, having this air access is incredibly important when it comes to securing food supplies, securing international aids and getting people getting things to people that need it. sure, i think a couple level is obviously central, particularly to the city of cobbles which now has something between 6 and 7000000 people. but there are also other regional airport stuff that important to revive and to get the operation of again, because the geography of the country does not allow people say from hara to easy access capital in order to catch a flight somewhere else. so i think old traffic is, is important for i've gotten this done, it's a very complex operation to run. they have seen the impact of the traffic controller freeing the country 1st and with the 1st wave of those who left the

country. so that capacity is not there anymore. they do need help, both in terms of capacity, but also in terms of security. the securing the airport using a foreign force has been actually on the table for a number of weeks even before the fall of, of the capital to to taliban. and it was, it was suggested that turkey could come in to secure the airport the clearly, the taliban position was no more for enforces on on. i've got this done. okay. i see that they're still turned back up and thank you so much for joining us. there so somebody from the 200 that you thank you. thank you very much. ok.
