evacuation and bringing an end to america the longest for we have exclusive access to cobble international airport as taliban officials prepared to make it operational again. while many afghans who want to leave have been left behind, the un security council passes a resolution calling for a safe passage. and i'm sorry how much and i have all the for now. me. old sacco wins upon their return to grant some action with an impressive thought for us. open me nearly 20 years since us forces invaded afghanistan to remove the taller bond from power. the group is once again, fully in charge of the country. the u. s. had completed its withdrawal off the days of often the arctic evacuation flights
1:02 pm
a cobble apple. the taliban says afghanistan is finally free after 20 years of military occupation added insists it wants good relations with washington and the rest of the world. and he's going to tell me, no afghans will surrender to force the way americans left us gone. this done as 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. allows early of the last american soldier border, the final us flight out of cobble at 1159 p. m cobbled time, military c. 17. took off from the airport and as they did, the taller bombs celebrated on the ground group is now in control of billions of dollars of equipment left behind by us forces. it is promising to form an inclusive
1:03 pm
government and up hold human rights. we have global reaction from 5 correspondence, this our several correspondence. whitehouse corresponding kimberly. how could a standing by in washington d. c for come on harder has been reporting on the conflict in afghanistan for decades. he joined us on the border with pakistan, katrina you is in china's capital beijing where the government is prepared to deepen its ties with the tunnel bond. and charlie angela will have the latest force in london. but 1st, let's go to charles strafford, who joins us from cobbled so charles, incredible scenes that we saw in the airport there. charles, what is the situation there right now that the top to bottom are in full control? that's right. surely, incredible scenes at the airport earlier today we saw, well, it's all about describe as members of the special forces unit wearing american uniforms carrying american weapons that we understand the telephone would have
1:04 pm
taken control of. busy from afghan national army debt posed as they came towards cobbled to take control of all was the 15th. we saw pictures of abandon some semi destroyed, but some see me a perfectly good working order aircraft, nato aircraft on the air base. the whole snakes are controlled up until 12 hours or so ago and in the mood generally in cobble is calm, right? it depends on who you speak to with respect to what they think of what happened in the last 24 hours. but one thing is pretty universal amongst everybody, and that is a sense of relief, least that a government, a government is accused of being, was accused of being to be corrupt and have, having mismanaged this countries. finances, for example, for so long has gone really depends on what he's been to us, all of the pool. so somebody who opposes them,
1:05 pm
who is planning on what else you get the all town on supporters in all the areas of this country that has to be recognized. for example, around helmand, helen providence can hall the chat about hall, and they say that they are prepared to give the, the benefit of the doubt that glad the government has gone. and they are looking forward to what they hope will be a price, a future for this country, despite the challenges that it's all about face. however, the little skeptical people who speak to concerns that concern that the child may not actually act on its promises and commitments. for example, respect to forming, inclusive governments respecting women's rights. not acting out reprisals against people who have worked for foreign companies or nato in the past, and allowing people to leave the country who want to they are a lot more skeptical. and one thing, they also saying that the u. s. and western forces have potentially betrayed them,
1:06 pm
especially now that the west is being so poor. right in refusing to freeze all late they tell about have access to billions of dollars that frozen in us banks are being held back by people at the m. s. and the world bank, so the mood is calm. there is a great sense of a historical moment having taken place here. but everybody is very aware of the huge challenges of the child about bases and getting legitimacy amongst its own people and legitimacy amongst the wide world. so it can move forward and take this country out of the kind of cale. so this experience for decades and a lot of challenges ahead child strength of life are there in cobb. well, let's go straight to charlotte bell. it's who is in cobble airport for us. so charlotte, what's the situation there right now? and the efforts of the new government to,
1:07 pm
to get that airport fully up and running again. well, we're in the military side of the airport now. this is where the us bay case is at midnight last night. we were brought here by the taliban. you can see some of the, the us helicopters around us planes, various equipment, all destroy. so last night the mood with the taliban was joyous. they were shooting into the air. there were fireworks. there was great celebrations, the murder here at the airport this morning. quite different upsets they are angry, they are disappointed because they say, look, everything is destroyed. i say to them, did you expect that the americans would leave the helicopters, equipment, and the plains for you? and yes, was with the leave to be national asset could help us. and now where the government running things, alas, the lot of these helicopter alex products are being pulled out and they very upset
1:08 pm
about us. going for debbie holder, much ahead. who's the folks? all right, unfortunately it looks like we lost our connection to charlotte. they're a bit of an already a problem there. apologies for that. so let's go to white house correspondent, kimberly how can you join us now from washington d. c. so the simple fact of it is kimberly the u. s. is out on the taliban and full control. how is the administration in washington framing this while we're going to hear from us president joe biden, today, he will be making what could be one of the most important speeches of his presidency, a real test of his presidency in terms of how he plans to frame what the, by the ministration says, are gains in afghanistan, even as americans are struggling to see them. not only are american, still reeling from the deaths of those 13 american service members who were killed
1:09 pm
outside cobble airport at the gates. but also the concern is the, the optics of what they're seeing right now. and they're trying to comprehend what the point of the last 20 years was the billions of dollars spent by american tax payers. they were told to defeat the taliban to worry about a new era for women and, and the human rights and have galveston. and the feeling now is that all of that has been lost. the images of the taliban wearing american uniforms for rating through the airport, carrying american weapons. there are many in the united states that fill their tax dollars have gone to arm and equip an american enemy. and so this is something that is going to have to be explained to the american public by the us president, why he stood firm. that august 31st deadline, why the u. s. embassy was abandoned how this diplomatic relationship moves forward,
1:10 pm
given the fact that there is no diplomatic presence, but instead presence in katara. and perhaps the most difficult for the present of all is how he's going to explain his broken promise to the american people. that every america that was to leave afghanistan will be able to, by the time that the military forces withdraw, the white house is now admitting that's not the case, that there are at least $200.00 or more people, but have not been able to be evacuated and so this is going to be very difficult fact we already know, see some of the support polls for the president. his support is dwindling among democrats, his political party, ed republicans are calling this a national disgrace. so this is going to be difficult for the president if he tries to make the case that america succeeded. when the american public is feeling very different right now. kimberly, how kits in washing to force. nice. kimberly. let's brain come out. hyder from the
1:11 pm
talk i'm crossing in afghanistan along the border with afghanistan and come out to be a lot of attention paid right now to what pakistan does from here. we know the foreign minister was speaking a little earlier. what did he say? well, the foreign minister was saying we're focused on had been saying for years and fact back in 2010. the budget on the military general had told the americans that building an army where money was not going to achieve any to dollars. the americans have caught, wanted a political sort of military solution focused on rather than shifting that there has to be a political solution that they have to talk. at the end of the day, you're important to know that buckets on 100 nations, with the dollar bond right. and the september 11th attacks, stroke plays by gifted, was given, littered time against what the ultimatum from george w bush and jared out of that budget on. gosh, good not say no to
1:12 pm
a correlation of international for change authorized by the united nation. but budget don also paid dia, price, $80000.00 people. during the 2 decades, $150000000000.00 plus launch says, i saw a huge impact on budgets done probably the only country on the periphery of, of dom that suffered the most cody expectation. now again, and the advice to say more dead wife engage with the dollar bond. there are a form to be reckoned read. they have crept over the country without fighting a bullet. they watched into the car without fighting a bullet. and for the 1st time, their guns are silent while they're gone, the people of god this done have been at war for, for decades now. and it is of course, reading that people will be hoping and praying that the taliban will live up to their promises. that the people of land is gone very finely find some relief. come
1:13 pm
out. thank you. come out, hyder on the pucks on scan the board of them. katrina, you is alive. force in beijing now and katrina. fair to say relations between china and the u. s. have not been good in recent times. wow. is the chinese government looking at always? well, chinese officials on tuesday struck quite an optimistic tone. they said that on this day off conasauga has broken free from military occupation by foreigners. and this is a moment where the country could usher in a new chapter in its history. now going forward and waging said that it would do 3 things, firstly that it wouldn't maintain its approach of non interference. secondly, that would work to contribute to the economic reconstruction of the country. and thirdly, that it would help us understand to become an active member of the inch. nash can international community and then it had its own wishlist. it said that it hurt the
1:14 pm
tell him i would form a moderate and inclusive government and that the telephone but also help to fight armed forces which are gathering in the country which exists, which china considered to be terrorist groups. specifically, the east focused on islamic movement, which is aligned with the wig, a separatist movement which trying to consider is very much a severe threat to its own security. now these things aren't new. china has been in talks with the taliban at high level since july. when talib one leader of the gunny bar, actually came to china to speak with foreign minister one. so for china, it's been one of the 1st place to really consider the taller bond and important and legitimate political force in the country, though it's yet to recognise them as the official government of afghanistan. now baiting had some messages for the international community, it says that the other countries should really work to help the taliban transition
1:15 pm
in this new phase of the country. china is against the withholding of funds. it's against international sanctions. any thing that it sees as potentially exacerbating tensions with the taliban. now when it came to the us, china had very strong woods trying to made no secret of the fact that it believes that this chaos in afghanistan is precisely b. cause of this hasty withdrawal by us forces they do foreign ministry spokesperson said that this is a time for us to reflect on its quote unquote mistakes. and that this was really proof that the u. s. imposition of its own value on another country was doomed to fail with the words of the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson. but at the same time, it said that he hoped that washington would not just cut and run that. it had responsibilities in afghanistan that it would hope to that it would play a role of guiding, active support. and i've gone on for the taliban government providing perhaps
1:16 pm
humanitarian assistance, even economic assistance. i think china very much is giving the taliban the benefit of the doubt and they want to provide the telephone with space to prove perhaps prove itself in terms of being potential legitimate government of the country. katrina you in beijing forest. thank you. charlie angela joins us live now from london to charlie. the british forces completed their evacuations of as many people as they could a few days ago. what are the likely next steps? the u. k. will be taking what is the very early days, but in terms of diplomacy, british foreign minister dominic rob has been saying that you are going to be holding the taliban to its explicit assurances and the terms of the un security council resolution post on monday. they will allow safe passage out of the country for the rest of the british nationals who are there, but also any africans who still want to leave. now the foreign minister estimates,
1:17 pm
there's still a few 100 british nationals left in the country opposition ministers. his say on top of that, off, thousands of africans who've been sending them emails, who they believe would qualify for resettlement in this country. and the foreign office is still working through a very full in boxes, backlogs, of unopened emails processing. those cases. but the pharmacist said, for them to find a route safely out of the country now is going to be a challenge. so he, along with his german counterpart, have been circulating the names and details of many africans, they believe, eligible for relocation in both germany and the u. k. they've been circulating them to the neighboring countries to afghanistan, years back. hist on pakistan tech medicine to keep on saying if these people show up at the border allowed the safe passage allow them to pass through quickly. our
1:18 pm
embassies here will deal with them and we will bring them to both u. k and to germany. so they're hoping to facilitate a quick crossing those points. however, earlier today we did hear from the you k for the army commander who said he's hearing report that the taliban is still thing any guns traveling to border crossings who carrying west and documents. and i quote, taking them out there, we're not sure what the, what exactly he means by that before doing up on that. but it's not going to be an easy route for them. so that's the diplomatic side. we've also heard today that the u. k is poised militarily when it comes to ice or so the u. k. chief marshal mike wiggs and is saying that you guys ready to play a role in the global coalition against, against islamic state in the event, with any strikes or moving troops or equipment to a particular country. obviously, it's very days for that. but it comes amid warnings that the k off enough enough
1:19 pm
kind of stuff has really increased the terrorist threat here in the u. k. so both diplomatic and military front. so the question now though is whether the taliban will stick to its commitment one to safe passage and to its commitments on counter terrorism. whether the west has enough leverage, told them to the commitment. thanks, charlie, charlie angela live 1st there in london. ah, we'll continue without coverage of events in the scan. stan, i just did a correspondence or hey, eliza has been at cobble international airport and has this update 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 curly. yeah,
1:20 pm
this is the main terminal. everything looks silent and still in this port. some us troops used to keep watch over the past week now, and this is the departure terminal at 100 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 that, the fair and fair and his tears to the upper level is blocked for. he does more look at the moment. so it seems this was done on purpose. however, the entire upper level is also empty. as you can see, any button within your home also be on her head. now we are on the roof of the terminal and he had he saw and we can see some commercial planes on the ground. they belong to the gun. the airlines hadn't, hadn't met any need. let's bring in

1:22 pm
in the us, the lift and today it is one of the secure, secure area with all those problems which was seen in the report. yes, it is not profitable. there are things broken down. busy and things sort of messed up, but finally, after, after the 20th, so for us to present now we don't have any military footprint and stuff. well, you talked earlier there about about the violence that's, that's happened over the last few days. do you expect things to improve now what, what do you expect to happen over the next few days? i think what really expect that's what we're saying that they can secure not only the couple of city, but the rest of the country doing fight the terrace groups and all other groups that day at the stabilize and the and secure the country. the cities and outskirts,
1:23 pm
pretty much service sponsibility and accountability comes out to the federal government and the leadership that they must commit to the promises and start public services. start public administration, and no country should be run back as usual. good to speak with you. phase is allen joining us there are from cobble, thank you. thank of the taliban says the formation of a new administration is in its final stages and a new cabinet will be announced in the next few days. that here it is a historic day. we proud to have reached this day. we congratulate the people, the arabs in 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. 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
1:24 pm
the coming days. allows earlier and how connie told i visited the movement is unified. shawna bellis sat down with him income, blue muscular sofa. one sunk. the problem in is going to stand was because the foreign is now the biggest goal is achieved. and assa connie tells us from his new accommodation and a leafy suburb in western cobble hare, he is a diplomat talking with former government leaders to encourage them to join a new tele bond government. still, he's wanted by the us, which cause him a terrorist and is also under un sanctions. the taliban of phil, organizing the government. but what are the aims of the government? the 1st she has said that she over all intimate chain and be faithful to what we will fighting for to serve the african people into therapy. slum the people who were working towards the school have been fighting for 20 years,
